Daisy Jane Darling
After cleaning up, watching a movie with Cooper. Rio puts him to bed and we go to Rios room where I demand he strips down and lays face down on the bed.
I use my birthday cake body lotion since I was prepared with oils to give him a massage. But I make note to buy some for next time.
“This shit better not last that long, cause if I have to smell you all fucking day on me tomorrow , I’m gonna be hard all damn day.” He says as I straddle his waist on his back, massaging his back and shoulders.
“Offended that you’re not hard just thinking about me during the day.” I tease and he groans as I dig the heels of my palms into his shoulder blades.
“I had to jerk off twice today because of you.” He growls. I laugh.
“Only twice?” I tease.
“Trust me, I could’ve stroked it raw for you if I didn’t have shit to get done.” He says and I smile as I keep massaging his shoulders and then down his back and working my fingers into his muscles and glad to hear his relaxed groans.
“Gonna need you to do this every night” he says.
“Whatever you want daddy” I say and he sighs.
“My dick is about to break a hole into the mattress” he says.
“You’ll survive” I say and keep working my hands.
“So, how many men have you taken care of?” He asks and I pause and then keep rubbing with a little smile.
“Are you asking my body count?” I ask and he grumbles.
“No. I want to know how many men you’ve had under your little spell and taken care of the way you take care of me.” He says.
“Jealous?” I ask as I add more lotion and keep massaging him, scooting down to work on his lower back as I sit on the backs of his thighs.
“And so what if I am?” He grumbles
“You a jealous man ?” I ask. But I already know the answer.
“Yes.” He answers simply and I hum.
“I like it.”
“You would. Pain in the ass” he grumbles and I laugh.
“I’ve only had three long term boyfriends. I guess the last one was the most serious.” I say and see and feel the way his body tenses up. It makes me smirk to myself.
“We dated for two years.” I say. “From twenty to twenty two.”
“And what happened there?” He asks.
“He cheated…twice” I say.
He growls and then goes to turn but I shove him back down.
“Calm down” I say with a laugh.
“No. What do you mean twice? He cheated once and you took him back?” He growls.
I sigh. “I did.”
“Why?” He growls.
“I don’t know. People make mistakes. I thought it made me a better person to give him a second chance.” I say and he lets out a rough exhale.
“You ever cheated?” He asks.
“No. Have you?” I ask making sure to use a tone to let him know I was mildly offended by him even asking me that.
“No. Don’t see the point in being with someone that you’re not a hundred percent devoted to. Fuck the mistake bullshit. Only shitty people make that kind of mistake.” He grumbles.
“I disagree. But in my case. Yes. He was just a shitty person.”
“So you’re saying cheating is sometimes justifiable?” He growls.
“No. I’m saying some people don’t know how to be in relationships. I believe sometimes people cheat because they’re broken in some way. I dunno. I would never cheat , I’m with you. Same page. That it’s not something I’d ever do. And there’s no point in staying with someone if you’re capable of breaking their heart by cheating on them. But I think some people just , get lost. Don’t know how to communicate what they want or need, so they get it somewhere else. It’s still shitty. And no it’s not justified, but I don’t think everyone who cheats is a terrible person. Most of them are. Yes. But not all.” I say and he grumbles.
“You disagree” I say with a small laugh.
“Yeah. I do.” He says and I slide my hands up his strong back.
“Did your ex wife cheat?” I ask.
He’s quiet for a few moments and sighs.
“No and yes. She never, had sex with anyone, never dated anyone else while we were together. But, she was clearly looking for better options WHILE she was with me. And talking to her other prospects” he huffs.
“Sounds like cheating to me.” I say. He relaxes slightly as if he needed to hear someone tell him that yes, what she did was wrong and was definitely cheating.
“There’s no better option than you. She’s out of her fucking mind.” I say and he grumbles.
“Did you love her?” I ask.
“I think so.” He says.
“I did. But it was a short time. Once she got pregnant. Everything changed. I could tell she didn’t want to have Cooper. She wanted to terminate the pregnancy. I had to beg her not to. I wanted her. Wanted the baby. A family. But she didn’t want that. She wanted just me. A husband with money and a known name. She wanted someone who would take care of her financially. But she didn’t want to take care of a baby. She didn’t want to take care of anyone.” He says and I slow my hands and lean down and press a kiss to his back.
“I’m sorry Rio, that she broke your heart” I say softly and rest my cheek on his back and let my hands slide under his chest and hug him with my hands on his pecs.
“I’m not. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here with you right now.” He says and I smile and turn my face and place another kiss on his shoulder blade.
“I thought once she had Cooper, she’d change her mind. And we could go back to what we were before she got pregnant. But in hindsight what we were before wasn’t even what I truly wanted. Because I had fallen for a woman that wasn’t at all a woman. She was just, selfish. And not in the good way , like you.” He says and I laugh softly. Because I told him earlier I was selfish when I wanted him to go down on me.
“Should’ve listen to Amos.” He sighs.
“Demi said he wasn’t a fan of her.” I say of his brother.
“Nope. Everyone saw what she really was , everyone saw it but me. I was just so ready to have it all. The wife. A kid. A family. That I was too excited to really consider who I was attempting to build that life with. I ignored the signs because I just wanted it so god damn bad.” He sighs and I place more soft kisses on his back. Just holding him as he talks.
“Fuck. I never talk about this.” He sighs.
“You can always talk to me.” I say softly.
“I’m over it now. Just sucks.” He says
“You can be over it. And still have feelings about it. And I know you probably thinks it’s not very macho man or ranch daddy of you to talk about them, but it is. “ I say and he gives a small laugh.
“I want to know everything that goes on in your head and your heart” I say softly.
“Youre a good man Rio Reigns. And you deserve a good wife, and a family. And I think when we get there. I’m gonna be the best damn wife to you. And we’re gonna have the best family. I’d like to be the woman to give that to you” I say and he shifts and then is turning over as I maneuver to lay myself over him as he lays on his back now and looks up at me.
“You sure you’re ready for all that? You’re still young. There’s plenty to do, life to live, places to see.” He says and my heart tightens. Because him bring up my age again doesn’t annoy me this time. But I get it. He thinks being with someone young means he’s stealing a part of their life from them.
“I’m young. But all the thing I want to do, I’d like to do them with you. I’ve got a life to live, but I’d like to live it with you. And we can see places together. Who wants to do all that alone? Not me. I want to do it with you. If you’re speaking in code for asking if I need to bang a couple dozen dudes before settling down. The answer is no.” I say and he smiles. His fingers slipping my hair behind one ear.
“When did you know you wanted it all? The wife. The kids. The family?” I ask.
He exhales and thinks for a moment.
“I think I always knew. Seeing my mom and dad , our family, I always knew I wanted that.”
“So why is it so crazy to think, that at twenty three I know what I want too?” I ask and then slip up a little and bring my mouth to his. “Why’s it so crazy to believe that I could want it all with you?” I place a soft kiss on his mouth.
“I can’t believe we’re talking like this and you haven’t been here more than week.” He sighs.
“Life is short Rio. What’s the point in wasting time when you know what you want? Because it’s scary?” I ask. I shake my head. “Fuck that. You only live once. I want to jump in head first with everything I do. I don’t want to waste my time on earth being afraid of things like love.” I say and he exhales.
“God, you’re something else” he says softly and kisses me.
“Cannonball with me.” I smile on his lips. “Jump the fuck in with me.”
“Yeah.” He says softly and nods. “Alright sweetheart”
