Sanctuary

It’s Valentine’s Day and two months away from our wedding and less than a month till they head to Europe. Surprisingly, even though it’s a Tuesday, I’m able to spend the day with my beloved. Instead of breakfast in bed, we’re just lying in bed together enjoying each other’s company.

“I don’t feel like moving.” I said.

“Neither do I. You really don’t like to do anything when you don’t have to work, do you?”

“Not really. Is that bad?”

“No, but it will be when we have kids.”

“You’re right.”

“Of course I am.”

I laughed into his chest causing us to move.

“You’re adorable.” I said.

I lifted my head and pressed my lips against his. He pulled me onto his lap and I crawled closer to him.

“Is that so?”

“Very much so.”

Since my shirt was riding up, his hands traveled to the bare skin of my back.

“Is this adorable?”

Because I didn't answer, one hand traveled down further and squeezed my ass which caused me to moan.

"I'll take that as a no."

I gave him a look.

"Shut up." I said smirking.

"I can do-"

I interrupted him by planting my lips back on his while I started to tug on his shirt. He responded by disconnecting our lips and taking hold of my shirt; I smiled and lifted my arms so he could take it off.

"Beautiful." he said rubbing my breasts.

He ran his thumbs over my nipples causing me to moan and throw my head back.

"Can I- can I-" I asked.

He slipped a hand down my pants and into my panties.

“Fuck, Alex.”

He kept rubbing me and I had trouble controlling myself as I grasped the sheets.

“Will you take my - will you take my pants off?”

“Having trouble getting your words out?” he smirked.

“Come on... please. I’m gonna come.” I cried.

I was aching down there like I had never ached before and I couldn’t stand it.

“Ok.”

“Ok? What the fuck does that mean?”

“Move please.”

I moved and he took my pants along with my panties.

“Your clothes need to come off too. It’s not fair that I’m naked and you’re not.”

“I agree.”

He let me remove his clothes before he planted my face into my pussy where I immediately bucked my hips.

“Thank you.”

I was breathless already. He and his mouth and tongue were down there for maybe five minutes when I was on the verge of an orgasm. I grabbed hold of his hair until I came and laid my head back on the pillow.

“Remember all those months ago when I called you a god?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, you still are.”

He laughed.

“You’re a goddess.”

“Lie down.” I commanded.

He did as he was told and I lied down, so I was at eye level with his cock. I kept my eyes on him while I slowly put him in my mouth.

"Damn, Abby."

Let's add that tongue, shall we? As a result, I felt him tug my hair and I proceeded to bob my head up and down, driving my man crazy. Hearing him moan the way that he was turned me on like you wouldn’t believe. When he was about to come, I removed my mouth and kneeled, finishing with a hand job and his cum quickly ended up on my breasts.

“That may have been the best blowjob you have ever given me.” he said sitting up.

“That sounds like an honor.”

“It is.”

I smiled and moved forward to kiss him, but in the middle of us kissing, my phone rang.

“Are you kidding me?” I groaned.

“Ignore it. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail.”

I nodded and continued to kiss him when he pushed me back down and grabbed hold of my legs, pulling me down. He sat down with legs spread out while I moved my calves on his shoulders and I propped myself up slightly as did Alex. During this, he entered me as we were gonna be so close together. I loved this position because of the immense intimacy.

“I love you.” he moaned.

“I love you, too. Oh my God.” I moaned, eager to touch him.

I wasn’t able to touch him... well, at least in the way I wanted to. I pressed my hands against his thighs as I started to orgasm.

“I wanna kiss you.” I said breathlessly.

“I wanna kiss you, too.”

After a moment, he pulled out and I was able to drop my legs. I immediately got on my knees and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer.

“You’re amazing, Abby.” he said.

“So are you.” I said running my hand through his hair.

“Wanna see who called?”

“Yeah.”

I sat down and reached for my phone; I shook my head.

“Who was it?”

“Miranda.”

“Why?”

“I don't know. She has a boyfriend she’s spending time with right now.”

“How are you so sure?”

“Because I know her. The woman loves sex.”

“Ugh. Do you talk about our sexpescades?”

I laughed.

“Sometimes.”

“Why?”

“I’m a woman. What’s so weird about that? Guys do that too.”

“Not all men and I don’t wanna think about my best friend having sex.”

I was clearly amused.

“Glad I amuse you.”

“I’m gonna call her back.”

“Don’t.” he whined.

I laughed again and leaned up against him for just a second.

“Hey hun.”

“Hey. Sorry I’m just getting back to you.”

“Were you having sex?”

“About to.”

“How was it?”

“Amazing.” I sighed.

Alex gave me a look.

“You?”

“I just did when I decided to call you.”

“Was it great?”

“It was fantastic. Jack is very... talented.”

“Hey. I’m gonna get out of bed. Someone doesn’t like me talking about all this.”

She laughed.

“That’s hilarious.”

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

“What’s his issue, Abby?”

“One: he doesn’t like the fact I sometimes talk about our sexpescades and two: he doesn’t wanna think about Jack having sex.”

“What a baby.”

“I know, right? Out of all the people. You and I have both seen them in concerts, in interviews and their dvds.”

“Yeah. That doesn’t make sense.”

“But, it is sweet though knowing he doesn’t talk about our sex lives.”

“You’re right about that. It’s very sweet.”

“Why do you think he does that?”

“Because he loves you. That’s why.”

I heard a knock on the door as I felt tears run down my face.

“Give me a second, hun. He’s knocking at the door.”

I quickly wiped my tears. I hoped he couldn’t see that I was crying. I smiled as I opened the door and let him in.

“I need to pee.”

I nodded and left him to pee. He gave me a look and I knew instantly that he knew something was up with me.

“Sorry about that.”

“That’s okay.”

“Hey, how does Jack feel about us discussing you guys’ sex lives?”

“He’s not thrilled about it, but he’s okay about it.”

“Because he cares about you.”

“I think so. I’m starting to think I’m in love with him. That’s why I called you, actually.”

“Oh my goodness. When did you start feeling this way?”

This is when I felt Alex wrap his arms around me.

“Maybe a week ago. It just hit me one day.”

“Have you told him yet?”

I touched his hands and backed into him.

“No. I’m thinking about doing that tonight. Is that cliche or cheesy to do that on Valentine’s Day?”

“A little, but it’s something you need to tell him.”

“You’re right. I’ll do that. Talk to ya later. Have fun today.”

“You too. Let me know what happens. Ok?”

“Ok. Bye.”

“Bye.”

I hung up and sat my phone on the nightstand. I turned around and kissed him.

“Hey.” I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

“Hey. What’d Miranda want to talk about?”

“Well, even though it started with sex, she actually called to tell me news.”

“What’s that?”

“She told me that she’s in love with Jack.”

“She is?”

“Yes.”

“He’s in love with her too.”

“Since when?”

“Since a week ago.”

“That’s adorable.”

“Remember when we first told we loved each other?”

“Of course.” I said smiling at him.

I remembered it just like it was yesterday.

It was the beginning of September also known as the end of summer. I had a particularly bad day at one of the two restaurants I work at that barely pay rent. There was the occasional rude patron, the dropping of glasses and the not getting tipped well like all waiters and waitresses do. When I got out of work, it was midnight and all I wanted to do was sleep. I got into my car and tried to start it a handful of times, but it turned out to be a failure. My car was fifteen years old and on its unfortunate last leg, but I wasn't expecting this tonight. I wondered who would be a better option to call: my best friend of nearly twenty years or my boyfriend of five months. After five minutes of deliberation, I decided on the latter because he's a night owl and while my bestie is a night owl, she has work in the morning. He answered after a couple rings.

"Hey." he answered in a not so sleepy voice.

"Hey."

"What's up? You seem down."

"That would be because my stupid car won't start and all I want to do is go home and sleep."

"I'm assuming you're still in the parking lot."

"Yeah."

"I'll be there in fifteen minutes. Okay?"

"Okay."

I hung up and sighed. Apart from making money, he's the best thing in my life and I don't know what I'd do without him. I was near sleep when I saw him pull next to my car; I smiled and got out when I saw him walk over to me.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you." I said standing on my toes to kiss him.

"I think I have some idea." he said once he kissed me.

"I doubt it."

"Let's get your car started. Shall we?"

"Yes. Thank you."

Jump cables were soon attached and I was in my car praying that it would start. When it started a few minutes later, I got out of the car to hug Alex who just got out of his. He seemed to be surprised when I hugged him, but he immediately hugged me back and I didn't want to let go.

"Once again, thank you." I said as a tear ran down my face.

"Don't mention it. Are you okay?" he asked once we pulled apart.

"I had perhaps the shittiest of days and this deal with this poor excuse of a car. You were the only good part about today."

"I'm so sorry that you had such a horrible day, Abby. Glad I could be here."

I smiled a genuine smile that I hadn't put on for hours.

"Let's just hope I don't have the same kind of day tomorrow. I honestly don't know if I can handle another one like this two days in a row."

"I think you can if it happens. You're an awfully strong person and that's what I love most about you. I love you more than you'll ever know."

I was speechless. He loves me.

"You're amazing, Alex. I love you, too."

“Then, the next day actually turned out to be a good one.”

I continued to smile and decided to sit on the bed next to him. It was a fantastic morning and I could only imagine how well the rest of the day would be.
