Tripp in Love (7 page)

“I never thought you’d want that.” Tears spilled down her cheeks, and she swiped at them. “You said right at the start that you would never get serious about a woman. Not after what she did.”

He stroked her cheek, and she nuzzled into his palm. “I said that from habit. Even then I knew you were different and that I had fallen hard for you. My sweet Toya.” He lifted her off her feet and crushed her to him. “Tell me, please, that you love me too. I thought I saw it in your eyes while we made love, but couldn’t let myself believe it.”

“I do. I love you too, Tripp. I was so busy being careful with my heart that I couldn’t accept what I saw, that you were starting to fall in love with me. I rethought it back when you didn’t react to how my boss and I interact with each other.”

He frowned. “Trust me, I wanted to belt him in the mouth, but I didn’t have the right yet. Now is different. If he so much as lays a finger on you, I’ll break his arm off and beat him with it.”

She squeaked and cleared her throat. “Yes, sir!”

Tripp set her on her feet and laced his fingers with hers. He led her over to the barn door and opened it.

“Why are we going in here?” she asked.

He grinned at her over his shoulder. “Because there’s no way I can go back to work for a few more hours and not first claim my woman. I wouldn’t be able to concentrate all day.”

“Oh.”

They stood just inside, and Toya felt a chill at the spooky darkness, but from the moment Tripp laid his hands on her hips and pulled her in close, she forgot everything but him. His uniform shirt lay under her fingers, and though she couldn’t feel more than his belt at his midsection, she knew his gun was holstered at his side. There was something about a man in uniform with a weapon that was a real turn-on. Moisture pooled in her pussy, and she ran her hands up his chest and around his neck.

“Won’t you get into trouble?” she murmured between his kisses.

He seemed reluctant to take time from tasting her mouth to answer. “We have to make this fast. Tonight I will show you what you really mean to me.” He loosened her pants and lowered the zipper then reached inside around to her ass. He sucked in a sharp breath. “A thong? Honey, what are you doing to me?”

“I like being sexy at all times.”

“You like tormenting me.”

She giggled. “I didn’t know you were going to be molesting me in an abandoned barn.”

“Take your pants off before you make me ruin my uniform.”

“Yes, officer.” She’d deliberately cast her voice low and husky. He groaned, but she hurried to shimmy out of her clothes. Tripp had less of a challenge. He could just open his pants and push his boxers down a little.

When she was naked from the waist down, she went up on her toes, shivering. “My feet are cold.”

“Don’t worry. I’m going to hold you.” He made good his promise by lifting her at the waist and helping her to wrap her legs around him. Toya loved his strength and the way he held her like she weighed nothing. He reached under her thighs, and his fingertip brushed her pussy. She gasped and leaned her forehead onto his shoulder. “Mm, baby, you’re so wet. You want me in there?”

“Yes, do it, Tripp. I always want you. I can’t get enough.” She wiggled in his arms, trying to get his cock head into position, but his hold became like steel, binding her in place.

Toya whimpered with need, but he didn’t make her suffer long. Tripp just liked being in control. He brought her down slowly onto his erection, and she cried out from the first piercing. The thick head slipped past her barrier, easing in a little at a time until he was buried to the hilt. He stopped moving, allowing her body to adjust, and her muscles to relax. Then he began pumping in and out of her heat.

“Mm, Toya, you’re so hot, baby.” Their lips just touched, but they panted too much to kiss. He looked down watching their bodies merge again and again. “This will never be enough. I need to go faster. Are you ready?”

She murmured her consent. All she could do was focus on the sensation, the tightness he created. Surely, he hadn’t been this thick last time. Was it the location, the fact that they were sneaking sex in during his shift? Or was it that they’d declared their feelings for each other?

“You’re bigger than last time,” she moaned. “It feels so good, Tripp. I wish we could go on all day.”

He squeezed her ass and began playing with her anus using one finger. Her core muscles spasmed. She would come soon, and hard.

“There’s no way I’m going to hold out, baby. I need to come in you.” He swore, and she raised her head to look into his eyes in the dim lighting. “I’m not wearing a condom. You take protection? I guess we should have thought of that.”

She shook her head. They held still, neither moving, but that wasn’t going to hold back her climax. Just having him thick and pulsating inside her brought her to the edge. Her cream flowed around their joining, wetting the tops of her thighs and probably soaking his sac too. She bit her lip.

“It’s no use, Tripp.”

“None at all.”

His forehead dropped onto her shoulder, and a low sound from deep in his throat let her know it was too late. The pressure of his hold increased, and then she felt it. His cock pumped his come deep inside her pussy. She collapsed on his chest and let go. Her orgasm exploded all throughout her core, the pleasure spreading and taking with it all her energy.

“I’m sorry,” he said and eased her off his cock to lower her to her feet.

She stared at the floor. Her throat was clogged with emotion. She fought tears and hated that she should feel this way when they’d just consummated their love. “I guess you would never… I mean, if it happened… Not with me…” Damn it, she didn’t like being this vulnerable. She liked to be in control and know what she was doing at all times. Tripp set her off kilter.

He tipped her chin up and glared down at her. “What are you saying? You think I wouldn’t want you to have my baby? What have we just finished saying? I love you, Toya. It would thrill me to have you as the mother of my child, but I want us to do it when we are ready, not because we were too hungry for each other to use protection.’Kay?”

She smiled up at him. How she loved this man. He was strong and sweet, and his answer had been just right. Not that she wasn’t nervous about where they would go in this relationship, but she was willing to go all the way with him. To think all this time, she’d been fighting her feelings, and Tripp had been busy falling for her. “Okay.”

They kissed once more, and then leaning on his chest, she pulled her clothes on and slipped into her shoes. Tripp rearranged his uniform, tucked in his shirt, and zipped his pants. Together they walked back outside.

“So later?” she said at the side of the squad car.”

He smacked her on the ass. “Definitely. Wait for me?”

“Always.”

Epilogue

Pain shot through Toya’s head, and she rubbed her temple while searching the medicine cabinet for drugs. Whose idea was this, she wondered as she looked into her sleep-deprived eyes. If she wasn’t careful, bags would begin to appear on a permanent basis and she’d look much older than her years. While she stood there, her gaze wandered down to her belly, and she bit back a sob. Still protruding even though the twins were four months old.
Whyyyy! Who would want to see me in a thong now?

The bathroom door opened without a knock, and she averted her face to hide her tears. “Damn, can’t you knock for once, Tripp?”

She waited for him to get onto her about language in front of the babies, but he pulled her into his arms. He wasn’t holding one of their daughters. In fact, the bedroom behind him was noticeably quiet. She sighed in relief. Evie and Temperance were the tiny loves of her life, but they were exhausting, and although she’d moved out of the city down here to be close to Tripp, work was suffering more because of lack of rest than anything else.

“Baby, I couldn’t wait to see you this morning and to hold you,” he said, and it sounded genuine to her jaded mind.

She pushed at his chest, still solid as a rock where she was softer than a baby’s bottom in all the wrong places. He didn’t let go. “There’s nothing to see,” she grumbled.

He rubbed her ass. Along with turning her on, it reminded her of the ampleness she’d failed to work off. “There’s this. And this.”

His hand roamed around to the warmth between her legs. “Don’t,” she murmured.

“I still want you, Toya.” He lifted her chin. “You don’t think you’re beautiful, but I do. After three years together, I still love you and still can’t get enough of you. I miss the confident seductress that used to tease me until I felt like coming in my boxers.”

“The seductress is fat now. She’s retired.”

He stepped back and let her go. Toya couldn’t help feeling abandoned. For the first time, she realized he was in his uniform. He had started back to work a month ago after taking time off to be with her and their daughters. So far it had been hectic. In the middle of striking out on her own in the design world, she’d gotten pregnant. Not a good time, but they had both had baby fever, and there was no denying it at the time. She didn’t regret having her little ones, but sometimes it was hard.

“The seductress has more curves to love,” he corrected. “But I understand you’re tired. I don’t want to be selfish.”

Toya didn’t miss the hard-on in his pants. She’d been denying him a lot, not just with sex. Tripp had been asking her to marry him, and she’d said no every time. He should be the one afraid, but here he was throwing himself and his heart at her.
I should be ashamed. He’s the perfect man. He takes care of the babies, even in the middle of the night. I love him so much.

Thinking of how wonderful her man was, her head began to clear of pain. He wanted her. That couldn’t be denied, and he’d seen her naked with stretch marks and all. “Are you due in soon?”

“An hour or so I guess.” He didn’t seem to recognize the significance of her question. His head bent, he was busy trying to get his cock to calm down.

Toya licked her lips. She unbelted the silky robe he’d given her to make her feel sexy and let it slide over her shoulders and down to the floor. Without a stitch on underneath, she waited for him to notice. His breath caught in his throat and eyes widened. There was no hope for the erection. Toya reached out to stroke it. “Officer, would you like to arrest me for indecent exposure?”

Tripp hoisted her over his shoulder. He spanked her once on the ass and then delved fingers into her already wet pussy. She whined in pleasure. He was still strong as an ox even though she was heavier.

He carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed. Toya couldn’t help looking toward the cribs where her babies slept, but Tripp turned her face back to him. “Now, let me show you what a sexy woman I think you are, Toya.”

Her heart pounded as he stripped. She took in his hard, sexy body, the tan lines around his upper thighs from wearing shorts so often this past summer. His abs were rippled muscle, and his shoulders broad. She peered up to his face and sniffled because in all her glory, she knew her body wasn’t as hot as it once had been, but the lust in her lover’s eyes hadn’t faded one ounce.

Toya gave him a teasing grin and began playing with her nipples. She raised a knee and tilted her head to the side. “Well, lover, are you going to keep me waiting?” A slight spread of her legs revealed her wetness, and Tripp was gone.

He fell down between her legs and dragged her by the thighs up to his hungry mouth. Toya cried out when he began licking at her folds. He delved his tongue deep inside and moaned so that the vibration tickled her clit.

“Tripp.” She writhed under his onslaught, but he didn’t stay down there long. He climbed up over her, and Toya trembled at his heavy weight crushing her into the mattress. He didn’t pause a second but pushed his big cock deep into her pussy. She cried out and wrapped her legs around his waist. He pumped so fast she grew light-headed, but then he pulled out, unhooked her legs and shoved her knees up to her chest.

“You denied me a long time, baby.” His eyes were so dark, they didn’t even appear blue anymore. She shivered at the fierceness in both his tone and his actions, but he gentled somewhat as he pushed into her ass.

“I-I’m s-sorry.” Her body was not her own. She belonged to Tripp, and they both knew it.

His strokes were slow and calculated. Toya lay at his mercy. He pinched her clit, and a shudder rocked her body. “You know what I want to hear, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Tell me, my love.”

“I’m yours, Tripp. I promise I won’t deny you again.”

His hand skimmed up her thigh, and he played with her nipple, pinching and rolling it between his thumb and forefinger. An orgasm exploded over her body, and she muffled her cries in the pillow.

“Again,” he whispered. “Play with yourself for me.”

While he thrust into her ass, she rubbed her clit. The swollen bud tingled with each touch, and she watched her lover stare at her. Spasms of bliss rolled through her core, and each time they did, her lips parted and her eyelids lowered. Tripp seemed transfixed to her expressions. She arched, pushing her breasts toward him. They were big and heavy, but he loved them too. The man looked like he had died and gone to heaven. How could she have thought he wouldn’t want her?

Tripp gasped and groaned. He laid a heavy hand on her belly and pushed deep inside of her. He held himself stiff in place, and she felt hot come spill into her passage. Tripp pulled out, and Toya sat up with her back facing him. His arms came around her waist, and he drew her to his chest.

Toya nuzzled into the area at the base of his neck and chest. “Tripp?”

“Hm?”

“I was thinking.” She chewed her lip.

“Go on.”

She held up her bare hand and grinned at him. “My finger looks really naked.”

Tripp almost squeezed the life out of her. “Are you sure, baby? You’ll be my wife?”

“Yes, I will. And I promise to wait for you every day. I love you, Tripp, with all my heart.”

“And I love you, Toya. I’ll always find you sexy. You’re the woman of my dreams.”
