Searching for Harmony: A Boston Love Novel (14 page)

“Never, Harmony?” he asked while he gently placed kisses over my sex. Lifting my hips, I silently begged him for more. Thrashing my head back and forth, I replied, “No. Never.”

My body jumped as Preston’s hands moved and he opened my sex to him. The moment his mouth came down on me I felt the buildup happening.

Son of a bitch. This is going to be amazing.
My hands moved through his hair as I pulled his head into me more. Grabbing a handful of his hair, I hissed through my teeth, “Oh God, yes!” I’d never felt something so amazing in my entire life.

Preston slipped his fingers inside me as my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I saw stars. Slamming my hand over my mouth to contain my moans of pleasure, I rode out my orgasm as he sucked and licked me through the most incredible orgasm I’d ever had.

It felt as if the room was spinning. I hadn’t even realized Preston was moving farther up my body and had a nipple in his mouth. My body trembled as my hands ran across his muscular back. Preston took his time as he gave each nipple the same attention. Was it possible to have an orgasm just from him sucking on my nipples? My body was building and it felt as if it was starting in my toes.

Preston’s lips moved up my chest to my neck as he kissed gently across my neck and over to my ear.

Whispering into my ear, he said, “Harmony, I’m going to make love to you now.”

Gripping his strong arms, I felt the tears building. Trey never took the time to talk to me while we made love. It was always rushed. He’d never adored my body like Preston was doing.

My voice was shaky as I closed my eyes and said, “O-okay.”

Then his warmth was gone. Opening my eyes, I watched as Preston reached into his side drawer and grabbed a condom. I wanted to feel him, without any barriers. I wanted this experience to be raw. Lifting myself on my arms, I got my first real look at Preston’s dick.

Holy shit. I was going to be sore as hell. He tore the condom open and was about to put it on when I said, “Preston, wait.”

Stopping, he looked at me. His face dropped as he stared at me. Inhaling a deep breath, I asked, “Have you always practiced safe sex? I mean, even with Sherry?”

Nodding, Preston replied, “Yes. I’ve never had sex without a condom.”

Chewing on the corner of my lip, I looked away quickly and tried to gather the courage for what I was about to ask of him. “I’ve only been with Trey. Once I found out he had an affair, I was tested. I’m clean.”

Preston smiled. “Okay, baby.”

He began to roll the condom on and I sat up more. “No, Preston. I want to feel you. All of you. I want this to be us being together as one.”

Stopping, his mouth dropped open as he whispered, “What?”

I was positive my poor lower lip would be bruised and swollen tomorrow with the way I was abusing it. “If you’re not comfortable with not wearing a condom, I totally understand, I just…well…I don’t really know why I asked. Never mind, I’m so sorry I even suggested—”

Preston smiled as he quickly moved back over me while I fell back against the pillow. “Harmony, do you even realize how amazing it would be to make love to you with no barriers between us? I can’t even imagine, and honestly I’m afraid I’ll come the moment I push in.”

Heat swept over my cheeks as I looked away. Placing his finger on my chin, Preston brought my eyes back to him. “Are you on birth control?”

I whispered, “Yes.”

Closing his eyes, he asked, “Harmony, are you sure you want this?” When he opened his eyes, I sucked in a breath of air as I saw they lit up with such passion.

“Yes, Preston. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.”

Preston moved over my body again as I spread my legs open more to him. Cupping his hands on both sides of my face, he searched my face before he looked back into my eyes. “You’re so beautiful. I’ve never in my life met anyone as amazing as you, Harmony. I melt every time you look at me.”

My breathing picked up and my heart was pounding so loud, I was sure Preston heard it. Tears formed in my eyes as I closed them and felt a single tear fall. Feeling Preston’s lips on my cheek, a small sob escaped my lips. Opening my eyes, I attempted to talk without my voice cracking.

“Preston, you make me feel like a princess.”

Pressing his lips to mine, Preston kissed me as he teased my entrance with his dick.
Oh God. Oh God.
My body shook with anticipation. Barely pulling his lips from mine, Preston whispered, “You are a princess, Harmony. You’re my princess.”

And there it was. My heart fell and I completely gave myself to Preston as he pushed into me.

Arching my back, I let out a whimper. “Relax, Harmony baby.”

Closing my eyes, I relaxed as Preston slowly worked himself in. Words could not even begin to describe the way I was feeling. Pain mixed with pleasure as Preston pulled out and pushed in harder.

“Baby, I’m all the way in. Harmony, you feel so amazing.”

Wrapping my arms and legs around Preston, I whispered the one thing that scared me more than anything. “I’m yours, Preston. Completely yours.”

Don’t move.
If I moved I would surely come. Never in my life had I ever experienced something as amazing and wonderful as I was right that very moment.

“Baby, I’m all the way in. Harmony, you feel so amazing.”

Harmony wrapped her arms and legs around me and whispered, “I’m yours, Preston. Completely yours.”

My heart about burst from my chest as she spoke those words. I couldn’t believe the feelings that were rushing through my body. I wanted more than anything to whisper in her ear that I loved her, but I wasn’t sure how that would make her feel. I had told her I was falling in love with her, but how different would it be to actually tell her I loved her?

Slowly moving in and out, I let out a moan. Fucking hell, it felt so damn good. Harmony’s fingers slowly glided across my back as she moaned in pleasure.

“Preston, it feels so good. Please go faster. I want more of you.”

My eyes about rolled into the back of my head. Moving my lips across her neck, I kissed her gently as I moved faster.

“Yes! I’m so close, Preston.”

Gritting my damn teeth, I prayed like hell I wouldn’t come before she did. Having never had sex without a condom before, I’d had no idea what in the hell I was missing out on. Then again, I thought it probably had more to do with being with Harmony than anything else.

Harmony’s pussy squeezed around my dick as I let out a low growl from the back of my throat. “Baby, you’re so close. I feel you squeezing down on me. It feels so fucking good.”

Harmony met me thrust for thrust. “Oh God, Preston. Don’t stop.”

Harmony’s body began to shudder as she fell apart. Her eyes caught mine as she said, “I’m coming. Oh God, Preston.” Slamming my lips to hers, I swallowed her cries of pleasure as I felt her pulsing around my dick.

Son of a bitch, I’m not going to last much longer.

Once her body stopped shaking, I picked up the pace and began pulling out and pushing in harder. “Yes! Preston, harder. Faster.”

Oh Jesus, this girl has no idea what she does to me
.

My balls were sucked upward and I could feel the sensation drawing closer. I was going to come hard.

Pulling out and pushing in harder, Harmony sucked in a breath as I panted, “Harmony, baby, I’m going to come.”

“Preston!” Harmony must have been coming again as I felt her squeezing every drop of cum out of me and pulling it into her.

Holy Mother of God. I’d never in my life experienced such bliss before.

Coming to a stop, I stayed buried deep inside her as my dick continued to twitch. Our breathing was erratic as we both dragged in breath after breath. Moving my lips to her ear, I whispered, “Harmony, you destroyed me. I’ve never…experienced anything like that before in my life.”

Wrapping her arms around me tighter, she spoke in a voice I’d never heard from her before. She sounded…content. “Preston, please don’t move. I want to stay like this forever.”

Looking into her eyes, I could see she was feeling the same things I was.

Placing my hand on the side of her face, I rubbed my thumb gently across her delicate skin. “Take a shower with me, Harmony. Let me take care of you.”

Her eyes widened as tears formed again. I could tell she wasn’t used to such attention. Why her fucking husband hadn’t showered her with love while he was with her was beyond me. If Harmony was my wife, I’d spend every damn day showing her and telling her how much I loved her.

Nodding, Harmony let out a nervous giggle. “Okay.”

Pulling slowly out of her, I missed her warmth immediately. Lifting her up, I leaned over and gently kissed her before reaching down and picking her up. Letting out a small squeal, Harmony covered her mouth and widened her eyes. Laughing, I said, “Don’t worry. No one can hear us.”

Burying her face into my neck, she whispered my name. I loved the sound of my name coming from Harmony’s lips.

Walking us into the bathroom, I reached in and turned on the shower. Once the temperature was right, I walked us into the shower and slowly slid Harmony down my body. My dick was already trying to come back up as I watched the hot water cascade down around Harmony. Reaching down for my shampoo, I poured some into my hand and motioned for Harmony to turn around. Smiling, she quickly spun on her heels as I washed her hair. “Preston, that feels so amazing.”

Harmony turned and faced me as she placed her hands on my chest and chewed on her lower lip. Reaching up, I pulled her lip from her teeth and sucked on it as Harmony held on to my arms.

We quickly got lost in our kiss as I picked Harmony up and walked her against the wall of the shower.

“I want you again, Harmony, but I have to be honest with you.”

Her eyes were burning with desire. “O-okay.”

Swallowing hard, I said, “I want to fuck you, baby. Hard and fast.”

Her lips parted as she nodded and slowly smiled. “I think I would like that. A lot.”

Smiling, I pushed into her as she let out a gasp and quickly fell apart in my arms.

Ten minutes later, I was carrying Harmony back to my bed. She was weak and tired as she whispered against my neck how amazing she felt.

Pulling the covers back, I placed Harmony down and then crawled in next to her. Wrapping my arms around her, I melted into her body.

Her breathing slowed to a steady pattern. Once I was sure she was asleep, I whispered, “I love you, Harmony.”

Closing my eyes, I dreamed of Harmony and a little blond curly-haired girl running around the house I built just for them.

Walking into the kitchen I was stopped dead in my tracks. Harmony was standing next to my mother, wearing one of her aprons, laughing as she mashed potatoes.
This is what I have been wanting. This is the girl I would walk into a jewelry store and buy that engagement ring for. This is the girl I want to start a family with.

Smiling, I walked over to my mother and Harmony. Giving my mother a kiss on the cheek, I turned to Harmony and did the same.

My mother turned around and pointed to the cabinets and said, “Preston, will you set the table in the formal dining room?”

My mouth dropped open. “But…football is on, Mom.”

She gave me that look that told me I had better stop talking, and I let out a frustrated sigh and said, “Yes, ma’am.”

Pressing her lips together to contain her smile, Harmony looked back down at the mashed potatoes. My mother walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek. “That’s a good boy.” Turning, she reached into the oven and pulled out a pumpkin pie. The smell filled the kitchen and Harmony and I both let out a moan. Laughing, my mother put the pie in the middle of the island.

Wiping her hands off, she leaned against the counter and looked from Harmony to me. “I was telling Harmony how beautiful she looked today.”

Harmony’s eyes captured mine and she smiled the most beautiful smile ever. Smiling back, I said, “She does.” Harmony had her hair braided to the side and had on jeans and a baby-blue shirt that made her eyes even more insanely blue. We had lain in bed for a few hours that morning talking before Harmony crawled on top of me and took me to heaven and back.

“She has a…glow…about her. Wouldn’t you say, Preston?”

A beautiful flush swept over Harmony’s face. Walking up to her, I placed my hands on the sides of her face and ran my thumbs over her skin as her lips slightly parted. We hadn’t talked about letting anyone know what had happened between us, but I needed to kiss her. Right at that moment, I needed to kiss her.

Brushing my lips across hers, I gently kissed her. Pulling my head back, I said, “She certainly does, Mom.”

Harmony smiled and shook her head slowly. Dropping my hands, I took a few steps back when I heard Wes and Angie heading into the kitchen. Giving Harmony a wink, I turned and finished gathering all the dishes for the table. Taking a peek at my mother, I saw tears in her eyes. Quickly gaining her composure, she shouted orders out to everyone as I attempted to calm my racing heart.

Everyone began bringing out the plethora of food my mother, Angie, and Harmony had cooked. Dad brought out the turkey and got ready to carve it. The smells of the turkey mixed with all the other smells had me ready to eat. Everyone groaned when Dad stood up and cleared his throat and got ready to give his yearly speech. Harmony had met my grandmother and grandfather earlier, and my grandfather was stuck on her like glue.

Glancing over at Harmony, I was taken away by her laughter. Granddad was saying something to her that had her laughing. Covering her mouth, Harmony shook her head and looked across the table at me. Dropping her hand, she smiled. Her eyes looked so happy. My heart was soaring above the clouds. I never wanted this feeling to end.

“Now, I know how much everyone loves my yearly speeches,” my father said as everyone let out another groan. Harmony giggled as she watched my father.

“This year is going to be different, though. I have not prepared a long speech.”

Angie clapped as my father shot her a dirty look. “Sorry, Daddy. I got kind of excited at the thought of actually eating Thanksgiving dinner before it got cold.”

Glaring and pointing his finger at her, my father said, “Watch it, young lady.” Smiling innocently, my sister blew him a kiss. Looking around the table, my father cleared his throat. “This Thanksgiving, I think, has been one of my favorites so far. Seeing my children happy is probably the greatest thing to be thankful for. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that we’ve all had a little…Harmony…come into our lives.” Everyone laughed as Harmony rolled her eyes and shook her head while she laughed. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Honestly, it’s been an honor having you with us this year, Harmony.”

Harmony’s smile faded some as her voice cracked when she spoke. “Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your family holiday.”

Angie reached for Harmony’s hand and took ahold of it. “You brought a breath of fresh air to us all, Harmony.”

Looking down, Harmony let out a nervous laugh. “I…I’m not sure what to say…but thank you.”

My father clapped his hands and said, “All right, let’s do this. It’s give-thanks time.” Leaning over the table, I told Harmony, “Everyone has to give thanks for one thing that has happened to them this year.”

Harmony nodded and gave me a smile.

Finn was the first to give his thanks, followed by Wes, Angie, my grandparents, and my mother. Everyone looked at me as I stared at Harmony. Pulling my eyes from her, I glanced around the table as I smiled.

“Preston, you’re up!” Angie said.

Clearing my throat, I stood and said, “I have a lot to be thankful for this year.”

“You can only pick one,” Angie said as she chuckled.

Harmony’s eyes met mine as they danced with light. “I’m thankful for the New York Yankees.”

Everyone at the table let out a gasp. Harmony continued to stare at me as she narrowed her eyes and tilted her head.

“That’s blasphemy, Preston James Ward!” my father shouted as my brothers both said I needed to be kicked out of the house.

Granddad laughed as he looked at Harmony and shook his head. Standing, he waved his arms around and said, “Leave the boy alone. He has his reasons.”

My father stood up and pointed to me. “Well, it better be a damn good reason.”

Smiling, I nodded. “You would have had to see her in a Yankees baseball cap, Dad, to understand.”

Glancing over at my father, I saw him staring at me like I was insane. “See who?”

Turning, Granddad spoke to Harmony. “Harmony, darling, it’s your turn.”

Standing, Harmony never took her eyes off me. “I’m thankful for Preston. If it wasn’t for him…I’m not sure where I would be right now.”

My heart stopped as I looked into Harmony’s eyes. I was stunned into silence by her words as she smiled and sat back down. I didn’t think she would ever realize how important those words were that she had just spoken.

Everyone sat at the table in silence. Sitting down, my father leaned over to my sister and said, “Please tell me Harmony is not a Yankees fan.”

Holding Harmony’s hand, we walked along the worn-out path in peaceful silence. I had no desire to be anywhere else than right where I was.

Harmony began humming, which was something I’d never heard her do before. Letting out a deep, contented sigh, she began to speak. “I’ve never experienced such an amazing Thanksgiving. Your family is wonderful, Preston.”

Smiling, I nodded. “Yeah, they are pretty amazing.”

“My heart felt so empty a few days ago. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it through this knowing TJ wasn’t here, but I did. Thanks to you and your family.”

Pushing me slightly on the shoulder, she gave me a look that only a mother could give. “I wonder how your mom found out it was my birthday? I mean, she had to have known a few days ahead of time to order that amazing Italian cream cake. Which happens to be my favorite cake ever.”

Shrugging my shoulders in an innocent way, I said, “I can’t believe she ordered that cake! What a crazy coincidence.” Laughing, we both shook our heads as we looked straight down the path again.

“It was a beautiful and delicious cake, though. Her friend did an amazing job on it,” Harmony said as she leaned her head on my shoulder as we kept walking.

Nodding, I replied, “Yeah, she did.”

Stopping, I turned to face Harmony. “Tell me what you’re thinking right this second, Harmony.”

Biting her lip, she looked away. “I’m thinking about how this feels like a dream. Guilt is starting to settle in because I feel the happiest I’ve felt in a very long time. I’m also thinking how my heart feels—complete. That’s the only word I know to use to describe it and that scares me.”

Placing my hands on the sides of her face, I brought her eyes back to mine. “Why does that scare you, baby?”

Tears formed in Harmony’s eyes as she closed them, then opened them again, only to let them release a tear to roll down her beautiful face. “It scares me because I heard what you whispered to me last night, Preston.”

My heart slammed in my chest.
Damn it. I’m pushing her into this too fast. Shit. Shit. Shit.
