Unconditional Love (Journey of Love #1)(51)
Author: Kelly Elliott

She was typing away and nodded her head. “She doesn’t want to worry them, so she told me I could tell them.”

Azurdee called my parents and filled them in on what was happening. “Yes. I’ll be sure to let her know. Yes, of course, Joyce. Thank you so much for everything.”

When she hung up I looked at her and asked the one question I didn’t really want to know the answer to. “How’s Tristan?”

Azurdee looked at me and said, “Your mom said he had been in the barn most of the day, but I guess he was sitting there when I called. She told him Ryn got a ride home from someone she met last night. I heard him curse and your mother said he was mostly likely going to be heading home now.”

I shook my head and said, “He’s probably going to head straight to Ryn’s.”

Azurdee nodded her head and said, “I feel bad for both of them.”

An hour later I pulled up to my parent’s beach house gate and punched in the gate code. As the gates opened, I glanced over and looked at Azurdee. Her eyes were looking everywhere and I couldn’t help but feel nervous. What would she think about the bottle? The letters?

I gripped the steering wheel harder and focused my thoughts on making love to her soon and tried not to worry about the rest.

We walked into the house and she immediately walked to the wall of glass and let out a gasp. “Oh my. Look at the beach. It’s beautiful. Jessie told me it was breathtaking, but man oh man.”

I smiled and set our luggage down. All I wanted to do was be buried so deep inside that I would forget everything else for just a bit. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I had to leave as soon as we got back home. It took everything I had to talk Skip into not making me leave before Christmas.

I quickly began unzipping my pants as I walked toward her. She started to walk into the kitchen when I grabbed her and turned her around. She let out a gasp as I pulled up her skirt and in one quick move ripped her panties off.

“I need to fuck you…now,” I said as I lifted her up and pushed her against the wall. When I reached down and pushed my fingers inside of her, I let out a moan as she dropped her head back against the wall.

“Do you want me, Azurdee?”

“More than you know,” she whispered as she placed her hands on my shoulders. I lifted her up and slowly filled her body with my hard dick.

“Always so ready for me,” I said as I began fucking.

She made the sweetest sounds as I gave her everything I could. I couldn’t get deep enough.

“I want to hear you scream out when you come,” I said between breaths.

“Yes!”

“Now, Azurdee. I need you to come now!”

“I…oh God. I’m…so close.”

I gritted my teeth to keep from coming as I moved in and out of her. The moment she called out my name I exploded inside of her.

I stood holding her against the wall as we both sucked in breaths of air.

“Wow. That was…unexpected,” Azurdee said with a giggle. I loved how innocent she was, yet full of passion at the same time. I pulled back and looked into her eyes.

“I love you,” I whispered. Her eyes lit up and the smile that spread across her face made my knees weak.

I slowly began to set her down as she placed her hand on the side of my face. “I love you too.”

I closed my eyes and asked, “Why?”

“Look at me, Michael.” Her saying my name caused my eyes to snap open. The moment she said my name I felt her love. I looked into her beautiful eyes and knew in this very moment that there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her. I’d walk to the ends of the earth for her.

“I love you because when I’m with you I feel whole and I’m filled with so much happiness I just want to stand on the tallest mountain and scream how happy I am. Your touch does things to my body that I can’t even begin to put into words. I’m lost when we’re not together and that scares me and excites me. I don’t know any other way to explain it. My heart will always belong to you…forever.”

I placed my hands on both sides of her face and gently kissed her lips. “I’ve never met anyone who made me feel the way you do, Azurdee. I can’t seem to get enough of you.”

She smiled and said, “I feel the same, Lark. My body craves your body. Now take me to the beach and make love to me in the ocean.”

I laughed and nodded my head. “Your wish is my command.”

She laughed. “Finally…I’m in charge, huh?”

I smacked her ass and said, “Go get your swimsuit on.”

She started to walk off before stopping and turning back to me. “I didn’t bring one, Lark. I didn’t know we were coming to the beach.”

Shit. I totally wasn’t even thinking.

The idea of skinny-dipping in the ocean with her caused my dick to come to full attention again. I shrugged my shoulders and said, “Go naked then. I’ll meet you down there in ten minutes.” I quickly walked to the sliding glass door and opened it and walked outside.

“What? It’s daylight out! Lark? Lark!” She called out as I walked over to the pool house shed, grabbed a few beach towels and began jogging down to the water with a smile plastered on my face.

I sat on the beach and leaned my head back as the warm sun hit my face. My phone buzzed and I sighed as I pulled it out.

Skip: Please tell me you are coming back tomorrow.

Me: I’m in South Padre.

Skip: ?? I thought you were with your family at the ranch.

Me: Change of plans.

Skip: Azurdee with you?

Me: Yes.

Skip: I have a really bad feeling about this, Lark. You better keep your head straight is all I’m saying. We’re planning on heading out in the next few days.

Me: I’m on leave…remember?

Skip: We got a tip on Carlito Vazquez.

Fuck. He was probably the most sought after drug and arms dealer in the world. He’d been selling arms to the Middle East and we’d been searching for him for the last two years.

Me: Intel confirm it?

Skip: Would I be asking your ass to come back early if they hadn’t?

Me: Fuck. I’ll leave first thing in the morning.

Skip: That is the Lark I know and…well…love is such a strong word. Remember that the next time you want to whisper it in a certain girl’s ear.

Me: Fuck you. I’m turning off my phone and will turn it back on tomorrow when we head back.

Skip: Plan on at least a week.

I dropped my head and shook it. I didn’t want to leave her again.
