Chapter 162 Missing Her
Rick's POV
It's been hours since I brought my Little Dancer home, and she's been so happy. She was chatting with everyone. My staff had been worried about her, and not just for my sake. She's really grown on them.
Of course, they decided to throw Josie a coming home party. Jeff had been sending me messages while I'd been at the hospital with Josie. But I would never ruin their surprise.
Actually, she seems happier now without the shadows of her rape and kidnapping hanging over her head. I'm glad she forgot about them. And I guess I may never get my answers as far as why the hell she decided to...
I push past that part. It doesn't matter now. She's a changed person. Whatever it was that was so dark has been locked away in her mind. That's not to say in some future date it won't crack through its cage and she'll remember everything...
When everyone was finally tired, they all gave her one final goodbye hug, I pulled Josie up to our room. I haven't been in here since that whole fiasco with Gina.
Speaking of, I had that bed destroyed and I bought a new one. I didn't want to use Josie's bed. Not when she's pregnant. Not when she's finally settling down and we can start our life together.
I pull her into my arms and dip my head, just breathing in the skin at her neck. Being at the hospital was fucking hell. I couldn't touch my girl the way I wanted to, but tonight, there is nothing holding me back. "I missed you, Josie," I murmur against her skin.
She smiles back at me. "You haven't left my side in weeks," she teases, reaching up on her toes, and placing a soft kiss just under my jaw.
I run my fingers through her hair and just hold her to me. She feels so good, just like this... But I want more, and I'm fucking going to take it.
That's true. I haven't left her side since she got out of the operating room, except to use the bathroom. And only when I knew a nurse would be right by her side. I was so fucking scared she'd leave me. I'm still scared shitless that someone is going to come and try to take her away from me again. But I'm not going to tell her that.
Even when she was in group sessions or private sessions with her therapists, I was there holding her hand. Even when she was telling them what a jackass I had been to her in the past. Of course, I was not going to deny it. But I have changed, and that is important.
If I still lived in the past I'd be under my father's thumb, and I wouldn't be trying so damn hard to make things right with my Little Dancer.
So much has changed since that day I found her again. Not all of it was good. But every single thing has brought us to where we are right now, so I don't know if I can really say what I regret. Other than I wish we'd gotten to this point in our lives sooner.
I smirk down at my Little Dancer. "That's true. But I swear I haven't been inside you for months," I groan, running my hands down her sides and landing on her tight little ass, pulling her closer to my hard cock.
I lean down slowly, letting her know she can reject me, but she doesn't. She raises up on those little toes of hers and wraps her arms around my neck, crashing her lips into me.
Fuck!
It's good to know she misses me too. And with the way she's kissing me, she must be horny as fuck. I heard that happens when women get pregnant. Thank God for that!
I don't know if I can go as slow as I had been planning. I wanted time to reconnect with my fiancé. I wanted to shower with reverence, but my fucking need to be inside her is pushing all my good intentions out the window.
"Josie, I need you now, baby," I growl, lifting her into my arms and placing her in the center of my bed. She squeals in delight, and fuck! I didn't know I could be so excited by a damn noise!
I rip Josie's shirt from her body and start by devouring her neck. Her skin is so soft, and it tastes like her. I bite and nibble her smooth skin while she makes sweet little whimpering sounds beneath me.
I reach around to unclasp her bra and capture her breast in my palm. Her little nipple buds instantly. I play with it between my fingers, tugging and pinching, sparking that ache in her core.
