Sahara, Eugene and Joy are a family, and they’re
happy! Life has been good to them, and Sahara
is grateful for it. Life however has thrown them another curveball. How will
the family handle it? Will it make them stronger or weaken them? Sahara proves to be stronger than what life throws at
them. She believes that to live in the moment, is all that matters and
important. Eugene
on the other hand, can’t always agree with that. But together, they learn to
understand each other and life, and they learn the greatest gift of all. Their
love for each other! That was what it was all about, Love!
Excerpt
She
stepped out of the bathroom in her birthday suit. Eugene grinned. He put the laptop to the side
and patted the left side of the bed. She walked over to him slowly. The breast
that had been lost to cancer had been reconstructed and it had built her
confidence even more.
She
climbed onto the bed over him. Her legs over him like a bridge. He smiled as he
placed his index and middle finger between her opened legs. Gently he ran his
fingers over the flaps of her middle. She let out a gentle moan, and enjoyed
the soft touch.
‘Still
after five years, you still make me feeble at the knees.’ He joked.
‘You…feeble?’
She laughed lightly. ‘Unlikely. But I have a way with you.’
‘Yes
you do, and I love you for it. You’re my dream girl.’
She
leaned into him and met his lips, his fingers still teased her middle. She
rotated her hips so she could get the best of him. She pulled back a moment,
searched his eyes and grinned.
‘What?’
‘Are
we going to try for another one?’
He
giggled lightly. ‘We could, but don’t get all upset if it doesn’t work out.’
‘I
can’t promise.’
He
tilted to the side and admired her. She was such a strong and determined woman.
After the birth of Joy, their lives had been a blessing after blessing. Things
went smoothly, they were so happy they couldn’t ask for more.
‘At
least don’t get mad at me. It’s really out of my control.’
‘I
won’t get mad at you.’ She giggled then rubbed her nose against his.
He
quickly moved so that she was on the bed and he was over her. He gazed down at
his wife and saw all the years that had past between them. The more the years
added on, the better looking she became.
‘How
is it, each time I look at you, you look younger and I look older.’
She
laughed.
‘Are
you some kind of witch? Do you suck the life out of me to stay so young and beautiful?’
‘Oh
please honey, you're handsome than ever. I see how the women check you out when
we go out.’
He
laughed.
‘You
will always be the man of the ladies.’
‘But
I will always belong to one. You have my heart, Sahara .’
He kissed her before she could say anything.
He
captured her into him. He kissed her like never before. Each time felt like the
first time. Their love was like something out of a fairytale. It always felt
new, and even if they had their differences, it only brought them closer together.
He
explored her body bit by bit. His kisses travelled over her body, down to her
stomach and to her delicious thighs. He stopped between her legs and licked
between her slit. She let out a soft moan as he expertly devoured her. His
tongue worked like a magic wand. It sent tingles and vibrations through her
body that at times she never wanted it to stop. She always tried to hold back
on the orgasm, to prolong the intense build up between the walls of her middle,
but he was that good, that amazing with his tongue, Sahara soon came over and
over again.
He
pulled up looking satisfied. He had the same cheeky smile he always had when he
went down on her. She laughed mischievously. He kept her legs parted and slowly
pushed himself into her. It was always the same, but always better. The moment
she grabbed onto his shoulders and dug her nails into him, was the moment she
knew she would never tire of him. He was the man who made her fall for him over
and over again.
He
moved her legs so they were wrapped around his neck. He knelt firmly on his
knees and gave everything he had. They were joined, they were one and nothing
could take that away.
‘I
love you so much.’ He panted.
‘I
love you more.’ She smiled
They
allowed themselves to just be and finally release. He lay into her and she kept
him in her arms. His warm skin against hers made her swell. The sound of his
heavy panting made her realise just how lucky she was.
‘I’m
really happy,’ she said finally.
‘I’m
happy too.’ He looked up at her. ‘I hope we’ve made another little person.’ He
slid down and kissed her stomach. ‘How about you be a boy this time?’ He joked.
‘Boy
or girl, that’s fine with me.’
He
rolled onto his side of the bed, opened his arms for her to lay into him.
‘What
time do you leave for France
tomorrow?’ she asked.
‘I’m
out of the house at six.’
‘Did
you tell Joy?’
‘I
did and she wants something French.’ He laughed. ‘I’m not sure what that will
be.’
‘Well,
good luck with that.’
‘Yep.
I’ll try and see Logan
while I’m there.’
‘Yeah
that would be nice. How’s she holding up in the new rehab centre?’
‘Seems
better, but I’m not holding my breath. This has been the sixth centre she’s
tried. I don’t think it’s the centres, it’s her.’
‘Well
at least she’s trying. I guess it’s a daily battle, not something that’s cured.
One day at a time. So each day she starts again, it’s worth applauding her for
it.’
‘True.’
He kissed her forehead. ‘You are really great, and thanks for being so
supportive.’
‘We
all need that at some point in our lives. To fail is to give up. To keep
starting again, that’s success.’
He
nodded. He thought about the many times he’d failed at business in the
beginning. The nights he’d gone hungry, the months he’d almost become homeless.
He could’ve given up, gone back to working a job he hated for the security of
money, but he didn’t. He kept at it until he found success.
‘You
and I are alike in different ways.’
‘You
only figured that out?’ she teased.
‘Not
really, I’m just thinking about how I never gave up on my business ideas, and
how you never gave up on living the life you chose. You had Joy, you fought cancer.’
She
nodded.
‘I
think its part of who we all are. But I also believe that just because someone
seems to have given up, doesn’t make them any less. I think sometimes people
tire of fighting the fight. At some point there has to be some breathing
space.’
‘I
guess it’s how long you’re willing to keep fighting to finally get that
breathing space.’
‘Sometimes
it’s almost a lifetime. Sometimes its a few days. Who knows why things happen
the way they do. All we really can do is be thankful for what we have.’
‘And
that’s why.’ He kissed her again. ‘I’m so grateful I have you and our precious
little girl. If I lost every penny I had, but have the two of you in my life.
I’d still be the happiest man alive.’ He smiled.
She
kissed him gently and then settled into the bed to get some sleep.
‘Until
the next moment my love,’ she said.
‘Until
the next moment.’ He smiled.
