~*~ Home Sweet Home ~*~
The door closed and nerves set in for AJ. He had six months to make up to Andi; six months that he had ached to feel her next to him, to touch her. Now was his chance and as he reached to take her in his arms, his hands began to shake.
"Damn," he swore under his breath. "They didn’t shake this bad when I went through DTs."
Andi’s heart melted as she took his hands. "Alex, relax. You weren’t this nervous the first time we made love."
"No, I hadn’t screwed up royally either and you weren’t seven months pregnant with your arm in a brace because it’s broken in two places."
Andi placed her hands flat on his chest. "I’m not gonna break," she whispered placing a kiss on his lips. Her fingers nimbly unbuttoned his shirt as she moved her kisses down his chest. With his shirt open, Andi ran her hands across his chest to his shoulders pushing the shirt off. Looking up at him, she smiled, "Baby, you don’t need a disguise to make love to me," and she took his glasses and hat off.
AJ smirked, "My cover’s blown. I guess I’m not your undercover lover anymore."
Andi laughed and rubbed her belly. "Uh, I think THAT was blown several months ago."
AJ reached around her, his hands still trembling, and untied her top letting it fall to the ground with his shirt. Timidly, he reached to touch her. "My baby is in there…growing. How can I make love to you like this?"
Andi placed her hands on his guiding them over her skin. "I promise, Alex. It’s not gonna hurt the baby, or me," whispered Andi tenderly. "It’s not gonna change our love. Let me show you."
"God, your hands…I’ll never last, Andi."
"I don’t want you to last, Alex," purred Andi as she unbuttoned his jeans. "I want you to cum over and over and over until you’re so exhausted all you can do is hold me."
AJ sucked in as Andi slipped her slender hand into his boxers and took hold of his cock. "Oh…sheit!" he moaned.
Smirking as she caressed him, "I think you like this."
"What’s not to like? My wife here, in my arms where she belongs, touching me, loving me. I have missed you so much, Andrea."
"I’ve missed you too, Alex," whispered Andi as she kissed each nipple. Placing both hands on his hips, she pushed his jeans and boxers to the floor and helped him step out of them. Standing back up, she put her hands on his chest once more. "Lay down and let me show you how a real woman loves you."
AJ did as she requested and watched as she finished undressing herself. She was still exotically beautiful and she still did things to him that were magical. Her dark eyes were locked on his pulling him under her spell. He was lost in her magic and he had no desire to EVER find a way out.
Andi knelt on the bed at his feet and leaned over letting her hair fall to one side. She began at his toes, kissing each one as her fingers danced along the arches of his feet. Moving along the tops of his feet, she was like a feather barely touching him kissing his skin as her hair caressed his other leg. Slowly, she worked her way up his legs with her kisses until she reached his groin. Without touching him, she blew warm air across his sac and watched in amusement as it automatically tightened in anticipation.
AJ groaned, "Andi, you’re gonna make me cum without even touching me."
Letting her hair trail along his stomach as she moved up to look in his eyes, she teased, "Oh, come on, ‘Bone’. You mean in the six months we were apart, you never once got yourself off?"
She knew him too well and AJ blushed. "It wasn’t the same as having you," he answered as he brushed her hair back. "No one’s touch is quite like yours."
"I love you too, Alex. Are you still nervous?"
AJ grinned, "A little. I think I need some more convincing."
Her lips found his caressing them into submission. Her tongue darted in and out tasting him as her hands wandered his chest playing with the smattering of chest hair, tweaking his nipples to hard pebbles. Inching her way down, she didn’t leave a spot untouched by her fingers or her tongue or her lips.
Reaching his waist again, she had him completely hard and twitching with anticipation. Sweet drops of pre-cum waited for her and she hungrily lapped them eliciting a growl from AJ.
His entire body was in overdrive, every nerve alert and waiting for more. He wanted to touch her but he was afraid of losing control. Instead he watched as she took his cock into her mouth.
"Oh god!" moaned AJ as his hands clutched the sheets and he fought hard not to thrust into her.
Time couldn’t erase her knowledge of his body, his desires…his buttons. She knew exactly what to do. Lovingly, she sucked the throbbing head, her soft hands kneading his tight thighs. She used her tongue to work the ridge around the head and dipping into the tiny opening. She did all the things she knew he liked and when she knew he couldn’t hold on much longer, she pushed that final button. She moaned, the vibrations like an earthquake shaking his whole body, as she took his sac in her soft hands squeezing gently.
"I’m….cumming," he growled. Instinct took control and his hips arched for more, thrusting into her mouth as his hot juices erupted.
Andi took every drop he had to offer, licking his shaft clean.
His hand went into her hair pulling her off and up to his lips. Their tongues met and he could taste himself. So good! This was so damn good. Without breaking the kiss, he rolled her onto her back, his hands moving all over her body exploring the changes.
Pulling back, he gazed into her eyes. They shone bright with love, the same love he felt. He wanted to say something but as usual, she left him speechless.
Andi reached to touch his cheek. "Still nervous?" she questioned softly.
Nodding his head, tears spilled over falling onto her skin.
"Shh, baby! It’s okay. Talk to me. Tell me what’s wrong?’
"Nothing. Everything. You. Me. This. How?"
"Baby, I love you and that has NEVER changed. You made a mistake but so did I."
"You? How in the hell did you make a mistake?"
"Not trusting you. Not telling you I was pregnant. Sleeping with your best friend. I had no right to keep it from you that you were going to be a father. You’ve missed so much but it’s over, Alex. Learn from our mistakes and make things better. We’re here, together, and I love you."
AJ kissed her lightly as he rasped, "I love you."
"Make love to me, Alex," she pleaded taking his hand and placing it on her breast. "Show me…the way you showed me that first time, in your room; the way you showed me on our wedding night; the way you showed me when we created this little one."
AJ smiled, "You’re sure we won’t hurt her?"
"Him…and I’m sure."
Massaging her breast, he dipped to her other breast grasping her nipple between his teeth, flicking his tongue across it. She tasted so damn good!
"That’s it, baby." She ran her fingers through his platinum blonde hair, the curls wrapping around her fingers.
This little bit, tasting her and her voice, were enough and he began to feel the familiar stirrings in his groin again. Not only did she leave him speechless but she aroused him with a simple look. Remembering all her sensitive spots, he moved his kisses to each one only to be rewarded by her moans of pleasure and he had to hold her still. She was writhing under his touch.
Smirking, he said, "I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this turned on by my touch."
Gasping for breath, she managed, "Everything…is…twice…as…sensitive."
His eyebrows cocked, "Everything?"
"Uh huh."
Carefully, he parted her legs and moved between them. With his hands, he parted the damp curls and treated her to the same delicious torture she had given him…he blew warm air across her nether lips then watched as the sensitive skin quivered before touching his tongue to her clit.
Andi felt like she would explode at his initial touch and her hips lifted for more. It was better than the first time they’d made love because he knew all the tricks to send her spiraling over the edge and because her skin was so sensitive.
Pleased with her reaction, AJ licked her from bottom to top stopping at her swollen clit. Taking the bud between his lips, he began to suckle waiting for just the right moment. He waited and listened until he heard the erratic breathing, his signal. He inserted two fingers into her hot core but not all the way. He had learned just what set her off and he only went in to the outer edge where he wiggled his fingers about. It was the right button and within seconds, he felt her walls spasm around his fingers and her juices flowed.
"Alex…please," she begged.
Raising up onto his knees, he looked into her eyes. "What do you want, ‘Kitten’?"
"I need you," she gasped trying desperately to move to him.
Moving into position, he ran his hands along her stomach to grasp her hips. Timidly, he eased into her not wanting to hurt her. Andi gasped at the feel of his cock inside her and AJ stopped. Scared that he had hurt her, he asked, "Are you okay?"
Taking his hands and lacing her fingers with his, she soothed, "I’m fine, Alex. It’s just been so long and I’ve wanted you so bad! It feels delicious."
"You’re so tight," sighed AJ as he began to move in and out of her slowly.
The two made love slowly reveling in their reunion, their eyes locked on each other. The intensity of their love was mirrored in every move they made and every touch and their climax was equally intense.
Afterwards, AJ lay on his side with her legs draped across his. With his fingertip, he traced the dream catcher tattoo as he watched her. She had her eyes closed but he knew she was still awake. He took in all the changes her body had been going through with the pregnancy and to him, she’d never looked better. Whispering, he said, "I’ve missed you, Andi."
"Welcome home, Alex," she answered putting her hand on his.
"There’s no place I’d rather be," he answered playing with her fingers. "Why haven’t you put your rings back on?"
"I was waiting to let you put them on me," smiled Andi as she pulled her hand out of his and reached to take the necklace off that held her rings.
"Hang on, Andi. Can you reach my jeans?"
"Yeah, but why?"
"Just hand them to me."
Andi reached to the floor grabbing AJ’s jeans and handed them to him. She watched him dig through his pockets and then he pulled something out.
Tossing his jeans to the side again, he took Andi’s hand in his. "Andrea, as crazy as this sounds, I’m glad things worked the way they did because I think this will mean more to us." Sliding a beautiful gold band with diamonds onto her finger, "Baby, if we had it all to do over again, would you marry me?"
It was Andi’s turn to cry as she stared at the ring. It was absolutely gorgeous and she was speechless.
AJ panicked with her silence and tears. "Andi?"
Looking into his eyes, she squeezed his hand. "Oh, Alex!! Of course I would! The ring…it’s…it’s…I love it!"
His face lit up, "Really? You like it?"
"Oh god, yes!! But Alex…I don’t’ want to give up my other rings."
"No, you don’t have to," said AJ as he took her other rings. Slipping them onto her finger with the new one, he pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it. "I bought it for you for your birthday, before I left on tour. I thought that was going to be the first time I saw you and I had this whole evening planned where we’d renew our vows and I’d give you this ring."
"And instead you spent it at the beach crying because I was too stupid to realize I was being unfair to you. You don’t know how bad I wanted to come out from behind those rocks and take you in my arms and tell you how much I loved you."
AJ looked at her curiously. "What rocks?"
"The ones off to the side of where I left the blanket and letter. Alex, I was there, the whole time…I watched you arrive and open the letter. I watched you read it and crying. I could have ended it there. I’m so sorry."
"Don’t be!! You at least gave me something to hold on to." Seeing Andi’s stomach move, AJ changed the subject. Putting his hand on her stomach to feel the baby’s kick, he asked, "How’s my little girl?"
Andi shook her head as she wiped her tears. "Don’t you want a son?"
"Hell no! Boys are too much trouble. Just look at me!"
Andi laughed, "You aren’t THAT bad."
AJ cocked his eyebrows. "Andi, I’m the typical bad boy. You’ve seen that in ALL the interviews and articles, especially now that I’ve been through rehab."
"No…AJ is the bad boy of the Backstreet Boys. Alex is a wonderful man with a huge heart. Just because you have all these tats and you change your hair color every month and you’ve got all these piercings does NOT mean that YOU are a bad boy. You’re my husband and I love you just the way you are. And speaking of your hair color….BLONDE?"
"Don’t you like it?"
"It’s….different and on you, purple would look good."
AJ smirked, "You’re prejudice but thank you."
AJ yawned and Andi smiled, "You’re tired."
"I didn’t sleep last night. My sponsor and I sat in my room talking all night."
"About what, baby?"
"About you, the baby, impending fatherhood, my sobriety, going out on the road again. I’m glad I have you with me."
"Alex, I can’t be your crutch. You have to want to stay sober."
"I know…I WANT to stay sober because I have you and because I have this
little one who’s gonna be depending on me to be a good dad. Then this morning, I
had a lot of little things to do to checked out." Andi yawned this time and AJ
laughed, "Looks like I wasn’t the only one who didn’t sleep."
"I tried but I couldn’t get comfortable and I was a little anxious about seeing you again."
"How about we get some sleep now?"
"With your arms around me," sighed Andi happily. "I think I could sleep forever."
AJ kissed her lightly as he pulled one of the extra pillows out. Tucking it under her belly just like his mother had suggested, he wrapped his arms around her from behind and whispered, "Sleep tight, Andi. We’re back together and NOTHING is ever gonna break us apart."
It didn’t take much for Andi to start to doze off. Just before she nodded off, she mumbled, "You’re home, Alex…home where you belong."
"That’s right, baby, home sweet home," he whispered against her skin.
With his hand on her belly, AJ relaxed knowing that their love had held them together. They were whole again with a beautiful destiny about to become reality.
