He shook hands with the men and headed out the door. His driver was waiting and the jet was ready. He could barely contain his excitement as he boarded the jet. He’d never had such urgency to return home before. He’d missed his baby girl more than anything he could’ve ever imagined. He had also missed his wife. He needed to tell her how important she was to him and he needed her to accept they were going to stay together forever. If the last two weeks were any indication, he knew he couldn’t possibly live his life without his two girls in it.

They’d become such a huge part of his entire being and the thought of any distance from them ripped him apart. He’d started conducting interview for a new executive who would do the majority of the traveling because he was done. He was excited because the man he hired to do the job had accompanied him on this trip and he was perfect. Drew knew he’d be able to rest well, knowing the man wasn’t only competent, but eager and hungry.

He didn’t think he’d be able to sleep but before he knew it the captain was coming over the intercom stating they were preparing for landing. He looked out the window as the sun rose in the sky and could hardly wait to pull both Trinity and Stephanie close to him. Heck, the baby was only a month old and he could hardly wait to watch Trinity grow large with his second child. He had become like Derek and could picture their house with ten children running around. The more the merrier, he thought. He decided he’d better wait a little while before suggesting that to Trinity. She was still pretty tired after giving birth to their daughter.

The car picked him up from the airport and he was soon heading towards the shop. It was to open in an hour and he had about a forty minute drive to get there. He told the driver he’d get a five-hundred dollar bonus if he got him there in thirty. The man hit the gas and Drew smiled because money always talked.

They pulled into the parking lot and Drew was thrilled to see a line outside the door. He could imagine both the women were brimming over with excitement to see the eager crowd. He slipped around back and let himself in the employee entrance and headed out to find his wife. He spotted her at the counter, looking over some paperwork and his heart swelled. He’d missed her so badly.

He snuck up behind her and wrapped her in his arms. She stiffened for a minute until she turned around and saw it was him. Her face split wide open in a huge smile. They stared at one another for a few moments, then Drew bent his head to take her lips. He’d missed her so much and as he deepened the kiss his body came fully alive. He knew it was too soon for them to make love but his body wasn’t listening. It was a good thing there were a lot of people around, or he may have done something stupid.

“I missed you and Stephanie so much these last two weeks. I finally got that employee hired so I won’t have to travel nearly as much and when I do, I’m taking you both with me because I can’t bear to be apart for so long,” he finally told her, when he managed to pull away from her.

“I missed you too,” she admitted to him quietly. She had her arms wrapped around his back and couldn’t pull away from him. It was so great to be back in his arms.

“I’m taking you out for a special celebratory dinner tonight,” he told her and brought his lips back to hers and neither of them could speak for several minutes.

“That sounds perfect,” she finally responded. They were then interrupted by one of the employee’s letting them know the doors would be opening in just a moment. Drew reluctantly let her go and went to find his daughter.

She was just starting to stir in her crib and as he bent down to pull her into his arms, her eyes opened and he had to fight back his emotions. She was still so small but she was so beautiful and he’d missed the soft scent of her. He cuddled her close to his chest and simply breathed the scent of her into his lungs. He wouldn’t be away from her for so long, again.

He walked out into the store and found his cousins. The three men stood there as the rush of people came flooding through the doors and were filled with pride for Jasmine and Trinity. The women were beaming, as they rang up sale after sale.

Trinity kept looking up, overwhelmed at the sight of her handsome husband gently cuddling Stephanie close to his chest. She was busy for the next several hours and found she wanted nothing more than to break away and simply hold her daughter, while Drew held them both. She had always wanted the shop and was proud it was having such a successful opening day but she’d finally realized being with her husband and daughter far outweighed her need for success.

She had a competent staff and would be more than happy to be there only part time. Jasmine told her she’d be working minimal hours herself, as she couldn’t bear to be away from her family for long periods of time. Trinity realized there was nothing wrong with depending on her husband. Even if the man never loved her like she loved him, she’d be happy to simply be a family together.

“I’d like to order every bouquet in the shop,” Damien said as he walked up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“You said you wouldn’t be able to make it today,” Trinity said with a huge grin splitting her face. Her day was officially perfect with all the people she loved in the room with her.

“I threw business out the window. Today is about my best friend and beautiful niece,” Damien told her. She quickly came around the counter and threw her arms around him.

“Hey, I think there are holes being burned into my back,” he said with a laugh. He then dipped her low and whipped her back up, causing a giggle to escape. She looked over at Drew, who looked as if he was grumbling a bit too his cousins. She liked the thought he may be a bit jealous. It was good for him.

“Excuse me Miss, can you help me?” a woman interrupted.

“I’m sorry, Damien but it looks like I’m being beckoned,” she told him. She gave him one more hug and got back to work. He walked over to the guys and she caught a glimpse of Drew slugging him in the arm. Ouch, she thought but Damien laughed and the men continued talking for a while before Damien slipped out the doors.

She broke away a few times to feed her daughter but other than that she was swamped all day and by the time they were able to leave, she was pretty dead on her feet. Drew took her home instead of out to a restaurant, then massaged her feet while she fed her daughter. She laid back and enjoyed the feel of his hands on her.

They put the baby to bed and he pulled her to their room and laid her down. Her body wasn’t ready yet for love-making, which about killed her because she wanted them to share that again. She was incredibly self-conscious though of her body. He began rubbing her back and sides and she pulled away.

“I want to touch you. I know you aren’t ready yet for love-making but that doesn’t mean I can’t kiss you and enjoy your beautiful curves,” he told her before kissing her breathless.

“I’m not very beautiful right now Drew, I still have this extra weight from the baby and I never get enough sleep. I know I must look a mess,” she said to him and could feel the blush on her cheeks. He pulled her chin up so he could look into her eyes.

“You’re the most stunning woman I’ve ever seen in my life. Your body is perfect and I don’t care how much sleep you lose, you’re still gorgeous. Don’t ever try to hide from me because I love every square inch of you,” he told her with passion. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his very obvious arousal and her eyes widened.

“You haven’t touched me since the baby was born and I thought you were a bit repulsed by me,” she admitted.

“I’m sorry you thought that, Love. I could never be turned off by you. I was feeling so much guilt about our love-making the night before you went into the hospital. You make me go so crazy and I was so rough with you and simply didn’t trust myself,” he said to her.

“Drew, you’d never hurt me. You please me in ways I never knew were possible before I met you. You have given me so much and I can’t imagine my life without you in it. I know I’ve been stubborn and a bit of a pain but I really love you and want our marriage to be the real thing,” she said to him. She was afraid he wouldn’t be able to give her his love but she could no longer hold the words in.

“I’m so happy to hear you say that. I’ve loved you for so long. I never realized my life was empty until you were there and then gone. I missed you from the moment you left our private paradise and was overjoyed to find you pregnant with my child. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes but loving you has been the best thing I’ve ever done,” he said to her.

He then pulled her close to him, so he could devour her mouth. Neither of them could breathe by the time he pulled back from her. He then explored her throat and moved down the slopes of her breasts. She was aching everywhere and cried out in frustration they couldn’t be joined together.

She may not be able to make-love with her husband right then but she could certainly make sure he was satisfied. She pushed him over and slowly unbuttoned his shirt as she ran her tongue over his muscled chest. A slight sheen of sweat was breaking out on his tanned skin.

“Baby, I can’t take much more,” he said through gritted teeth, as he tried pulling her back up to him. She shook his hands off of her as she reached his lower stomach and gently nipped the taught skin. He sucked in his breath at the pure pleasure she was giving him. “You don’t have to do this,” he growled as he realized her intentions.

She said nothing, as she slowly unbuttoned his pants and pulled them and his boxers down his legs. His magnificent length sprung out, showing her how turned on he was. It filled her with pride she was able to turn him on so much.

She kissed her way back up his legs and felt empowered by the quivering of his body. He was breathing heavily and his head was thrown back, as he groaned in pleasure from her touch. She reached the top of his thighs and his body jerked as her hand rubbed against his moistened head.

She slipped her tongue out and licked the bead off his tip and he cried out. She’d never in her life felt so sexy, or powerful in bed. It was a euphoric feeling and she wouldn’t have ever done this for any other man. She gently cupped his silky smooth shaft in her hand, loving the strength of the hardened flesh. She rubbed her hand up and down, while gripping him tightly. She then lowered her head and took his tip into her mouth.

As her tongue flicked around his shaft and her hand continued to work its magic, he groaned over and over again. She was encouraged by his sounds of pleasure and tightened her mouth even more and began to suck him deeper inside her moist mouth. He grabbed her head, holding her tightly against him as she continued to pleasure him.

His body began to tense and he pulled her head free. “I’m not going to last,” he croaked at her. She smiled at him and ran her tongue across the tip as she continued to stroke him quickly with her hand. She pulled back as he cried out and his release shot from him.

She stared in fascination as his engorged staff pumped in her hand and spilled over. It was the sexiest thing she’d ever watched in her life. His body was jerking in pleasure as she used his own release to smooth her hand easier up and down the still quivering shaft. She continued to rub him until every last ounce of his orgasm spilled from him. She then couldn’t resist flicking her tongue one last time over his beautiful head. He convulsed at the gentle touch and she smiled with pure feminine power.
