Free Falling for the Au Pair by Mia Petrova

never had this before. And just felt overwhelmed. That’s it. What are you, it’s wonderful.”
    His gaze found mine. He looked a little better, but not entirely. “What didn’t you have before?”
    “This, right now.” I kissed him tenderly. “You’re buried inside me, unmoving, and we are talking.”
    As if he had just realized that himself, Thomas began to circle his hips against me. It wasn’t the same as thrusting, but it was enough to start the fire. His face was serious as he dropped his eyes and ran his hand in my chest.
    “I also didn’t have this before.”
    I frowned. “But you were married.”
    “That doesn’t mean I had everything.”
    I nodded. “Thomas,” I said with barely a whisper. I searched his face and made him look at me. “I’m yours.” I placed his palm in my heart. “I’m yours as long as you want me to be. So, take me. Do whatever you want. I’m here for you.”
    His forehead dropped into mine. Then, a few moments later, his lips came crashing into mine. His hips resumed his pace; thrusting hard and fast as he kissed me passionately. We climaxed together, moaning into each other’s mouths.
                 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Seven
                  Thomas had to leave for a few days – business related. Apparently, he and his partner had a break yesterday and now they were after a great lead that would crack the case.              Gloria was staying with Rachel and me for the next couple of days. It was strange not having Thomas around, especially since how close we had become. But in a lot of ways it was good. We would have a break from one another, where we would put out our feelings and really think it through. At least that was what I was going to do.
                  “Is everything okay, Miss Audrey?” Gloria asked.
                  I was standing by the window, gazing outside. “Only thinking, you know?” I said and I saw her nodding. “About what my life will be after I leave Rachel, you and…” I had to swallow and look away for the last name. “Thomas.”
                  “Why are you thinking about leaving? Thomas isn’t treating you right?” she asked, getting comfortable on the couch as I still stood there.
    Looking at Gloria, who knew the Abram family for years, I felt like I could trust her. Thomas trusted her with his daughter, why shouldn’t I?
                  “It’s the other way around, really.” Sighing, I went and sat by her side. “Thomas is great. I met him for only over a couple of months and he already feels like the world to me. And then there’s Rachel, he’s amazing daughter in which I love deeply.”
                  “So what is the problem, love?”
                  “I’m set to leave in three months now. I’m leaving and I’m never seeing them again. It feels wrong, like I’ll abandon my own family,” my voice shook while my eyes watered.
                  “Who says you’ll never see them again? My God, love, don’t be such an emotional mess. I’ve never seen Thomas this happy, even when Sarah was alive. Why do you even think he’ll ever let you go?”
                  Frowning, I sit there, just staring at her. “You…you know about Thomas and me? Did you really know Sarah?”
                  “For heaven’s sake, girl. Weren’t you listening?” Gloria said, smiling, as though she was my best friend. She was easy to talk to, calm, open minded, no wonder Thomas liked having her around. “Yes, I knew Sarah. She was lovely and a great mother. Rachel has her entire soul, you see,” she began telling me. I listened and watched her like a child would watch a great storyteller. “Her relationship with Thomas was comfortable. They loved each other, sure, but they’ve met when they were children, dated in high school and then they
