Ian's POV
Lucas nudges me, gesturing with his head to leave the room with him. Taking one last look at Hailey, I saw she was where she needed to be. I followed Lucas out and down the hall to the nursery, hearing Johnny's faint cry.
"Hello, my baby boy. Did you have a nice nap?" He greeted his child, picking him up gently and placing him on the changing table. Johnny continued to cry as Lucas began to change his diaper. "Oh, tell me about it," Lucas continued, talking with Johnny normally.
Johnny's cries amplified, waking Abi in her room next door. I could hear her calling out, "Daddy!"
"Want me to grab her?" I asked, seeing Lucas still midway through changing Johnny.
"Would you?" He seemed desperate and overwhelmed as he looked at me.
"Yeah, sure thing."
I headed to Abi's room, seeing her beautiful strawberry blonde hair standing in all directions. Her eyes landed on me, seeming unsure, knowing I was not her father. It wasn't until I opened the curtain in her room that she recognized me. She smiled widely, reaching up from her crib.
"Anan!" she called me, still unable to say Ian, or refusing to at this point.
"Abi girl!" I smiled at her, picking her up and taking her to her changing table. "How is my little Abi Rose doing?"
"Good," she said, faintly pronouncing the "d" so it sounded more like goo.
"That's great!" I finished changing her. Picking her up and having her hands slap at my cheeks.
"Anan." She smiled, seeming happy to see me. "Play?"
"Sure. What should we play?" She giggled happily as she wiggled in my arms. I placed her on her feet, seeing her race to her toys and point at her baby bucket. I sat in front of her, having her hand me doll after doll. "I think we have plenty here, Abi girl. I only have two hands." I tried to get her to stop as a mountain of barbies were collecting on my lap.
"She has to have them all out or she's not happy," Lucas clued me in as he stepped into the room with Johnny in his arms. Johnny was the cutest little baby, just like Abi. Lucas and Red made some good-looking kids.
"I'm realizing that."
Abi, Lucas, and I played while Johnny watched on his play mat. It was odd seeing Lucas be this sweet. To me, he was always this man who despised me, or at the very least just didn't like me. Today felt different. We both stared at Red and Hailey earlier, like they were the two most important people on the planet. I understood him better, partially understanding what he had been going through. The thought of losing Hailey is maddening, breaking me inside in a way I have never broken before.
"You're not a bad guy, Ian. In fact, that's why I have always worried. I read her journals, you know?" Lucas started, giving Abi her doll back and letting her play on her own for a minute.
"You did?"
"Yeah, starting with her high school ones. I read all about you through her. I saw how important you were to her, so when you showed back up in her life it scared the living shit out of me. We had only begun and you and her had this love story beginning. By some miracle she stuck by my side, but you were still there, still around. It scared me for a while, especially when I realized you looked at her the same way I do. You obviously still loved her, but I see it's changed now. I see that look is only reserved for Hailey now." He looked me dead in the eye, not shy about sharing his insecurities or reservations about me. I had no idea he had read those journals Red gifted me. I understood why he was so off-put by me when we first met. He read the way I made Red feel then, and it was intense for the both of us.
"You're not wrong. I couldn't get past her for a while there. She had always been the woman I thought I would marry. But it was a fantasy built off the past. She and I were never meant to be anything more than friends. I see that now- I know it," I admitted, not daring to look away. "Hailey helped me work through those feelings, helped me finally let go of that stupid fantasy. She is yours, always has been, always will be."
"If she can survive this, if they can survive this,"
"They will. They have to." I nodded, picking Abi's doll back up.
"And if they don't, you'll be the new Rose and help me care for the kids." Lucas winked at me, throwing me off guard until I realized he was kidding. This was his way of joking around, which I was not used to in the least. I was glad to know he was opening up to me.
"Yeah, but I'll only be taking care of the kids, so don't get any ideas." I joked along, making him laugh and nod. It would appear that Lucas and I are now on friendly terms. Considering his wife is my best friend and my future wife is their best friend, we should all be getting along. It was about time that he and I set our differences aside and started getting along. I think I will like getting to know Lucas. He seems like a fun guy.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
"Thank you for making me tell her in person," Hailey said as we stepped through our front door. She and Liv had spoken the entire time, as Lucas and I did while we played with the kids. Lucas had ended up falling asleep on a beanbag in Abi's room, so I let him sleep while I took care of the kids. He needed the rest.
"I am glad, Mi Amor."
"It sounded like you and Lucas were having fun, too."
"You know, we actually were." I nodded, smiling at the thought of becoming friends with him.
"About time. Lucas is a great guy."
"Hey now. I'm the only guy who gets compliments from you." I teased her, winking at her as she gasped.
"You're the only one that gets a lot of things from me." She winked back, leaning in and kissing me hungrily. I had given Hailey months to heal emotionally and physically, leaving her alone. I was dying, only finding release by masturbating in the shower. Today was the first time in a while she seemed like she wanted to.
"Mmm, Hailey. You can't kiss me like that right now, Mi Luz. I am too horny of a man right now," I cautioned her.
"Good, because I am a hungry woman, and you're the only thing I want to eat right now." She giggled as she sprinted to the room, throwing her shirt off her along the way.
Fuck me.
"You better be fully naked when I get in there!" I yelled after her, undressing along the way. The smile across my face was so wide that my eyes crinkled along the sides and my cheeks began to hurt.
As I entered the room, I was met with a most beautiful sight. Hailey lay fully naked on the bed, propped on her elbows as she stared at me. Her brown eyes were swirling with desire and pure lust for me. All the blood flowed straight to my dick, aching to be buried deep inside her. It missed the warmth of her center and the taste of her skin.
I wasted no time making my way to her, immediately kissing her soft skin. She took a deep breath, arching her back and pushing her breasts out further. She was dying for me to touch them, to play with her nipple and to send her to heaven. I smirked, meeting her eyes as I brought my tongue up to her sweet brown nipples. I flicked her hardening bud until I could suck on it more easily. She moaned, pushing my head down further onto her with her hand behind my head. Her fingers tangled in my hair, gripping it tightly as she moaned louder.
I trailed my hand down her side and towards her center, finding her sleek folds. Inserting a finger in her, I saw she was more than ready for me. I flicked at her nipple once more with my tongue before pulling back. She didn't wait for me this time, being just as hungry as I was. She wrapped her legs around me, pulling me forward and reaching for my dick. Placing her hips just right, she inserted me in her without delay. I hadn't seen this hungry side of Hailey before, but a few months without would drive anyone to this level of horniness.
"God, I have missed your beautiful little pussy."
"Fuck me good, Ian. Make me forget everything."
Doing my best, I thrust in hard and fast. After a while, I shifted, sitting on my knees and grabbing her hips, lifting her ass a bit and burying myself deep. She closed her eyes, reveling in the sensations I was bringing to her body. Her hips swayed hard and fast over me as I began to play with her sensitive clit, rubbing my fingers over her until she came hard. Her yells of pleasure spurred me on further.
"Don't stop," she moaned as I pulled out.
"Turn around."
She did as I said without a word of complaint. I positioned myself between her legs, slipping inside her once again. I grabbed her wrists and pulled them back towards me, pushing into her while I held her wrists towards me. She moaned even louder with each thrust, almost yelling as I pounded into her. I was starved for her, for these sounds and her warm embrace.
She rubbed herself against the bed, trying to find her second orgasm. They were happening fast and hard, but I was happy about it, wanting to bring her as much pleasure as possible before I erupted. She felt too good and sounded too damn sexy for me to last too long. Not after so long.
"Do you want me to fuck you harder, Hailey?"
"God, yes!" she yelled as I pulled her back with her wrists further, lifting her chest off the bed.
She slewed a string of fucks repeatedly as I smacked into her harder than before. I could feel the head of my dick brushing against her cervix. She yelled as she reached her peak, groaning as she came down. Slipping back out, I turned her once more. I took her ankles and draped them over my shoulders, holding her legs to my chest as I teased her, working her back up with just the head of my penis. When I slammed all the way into her, she screamed my name. I came inside her, causing her third orgasm as I did.
Hailey is everything I ever need in this life. She can never die.
