Loveland

Chapter 5

Autumn 

Oh my God, he looked so good. Standing at the edge of my yard, holding the gate with one hand his other in his pocket. His eyes reflected off the street lights in a way that made them look golden. I asked him about his happiness and what he wanted in life. Not reaching for anything but because I genuinely wanted to know he was happy. I never expected him to rush towards me and kiss me. 

He was kissing me. But this wasn't like any kiss I'd ever experienced before. It was wild animalistic and full of passion. The way he held my face in his hands and pressed his body against mine. He completely engulfed me. The way he devoured my lips as if he could swallow me whole drove me crazy. In the best way. I felt him push me into the front door, never letting go of my mouth. His hands left my face to reach around and left me, just a little by my ass. My feet left the ground as he pressed into me. My head was spinning and all I really wanted was for Logan to throw me over his shoulder, carry me inside and f**k my brains out. Though I didn't know why. s*x had never done much for me. But something told me with Logan is would be different. 

I heard what sounded like kids laughing and that brought us both back to reality. He put me down and released my mouth and put his forehead to mine. I knew he had to go. The kids would be coming around the corner to watch the fireworks and we had to go back to being responsible adults. 

As he walked away I looked at his ass while I caught my breath. He turned around before walking away. 

"Goodnight Autumn. Sleep well." Yeah right? like I was going to sleep after that. 

Later that evening after the fireworks were over and the streets quieted down I tucked a very sleepy Aiden into bed. He had spent a whole half an hour telling me how much fun he'd had. That he made even more friends. He jumped off the highest cliff by the quarry and couldn't stop telling me how happy he was. His eyes were drooping shut as he laid down. I looked around his room as he had begun to fill it with pictures of him and the other kids in town. He was acclimating himself quickly. Making this his home naturally. I was so happy for him. He drifted off to a peaceful sleep and I shut off the light. His glow in the dark star-covered ceiling illuminating his room just enough. 

  I walked out on to my tiny front porch and sat down on the step. I looked up at the sky hoping that whoever was up there was listening to me. 

"So... I know it's been a while. And I know it seems like I only come to you when I need something. But it says in the book that if I turn to you my prayers might be answered. So here goes. I pray for my son. I want his happiness more than anything. I feel in my gut that moving here was the right decision. But I need to know if I'm going to make a mistake getting close to Logan. If you could send me a sign that would be great. I sure hope someone up there is listening to me."
