September rolled around hot and steamy. Today was the sixth day of the month. Her sundress was nice and light and the air conditioning was on but she was still burning up. The baby in her belly was wreaking havoc on her system. She was almost five months along, just as small as before. Only Yuffie knew. They’d already moved to a larger house.
This one had seven bedrooms. It had been a steal since it was a fixer upper but Barrett and Ben came in handy. As did Rocky. He was a contractor. They’d gutted and rebuilt it as the foundation was good. There was also a finished basement where Barrett had put up his workbench and storage containers. He said they were set to open up the shop once Cloud returned. This last mission had set them up well and everything was ready. She’d helped him clean and get the shop ready for its grand opening. It was five blocks from hers on the west. The new house was the about the same distance from her shop but on the west side too.
The shop was currently closed and she was waiting for Barrett to bring the car around. The young ones were in the stroller relaxing and she was ready for a nap. A car stopped in front of them and she perked up before her lip curled. Here was someone she could do without.
Cloud stopped in front of her with his two suitcases. He wore his sword on his back and was in his usual black clothing. The quick glance at his face told her he looked tired but that was his business. The children were all excited and clamoring for his attention. He lifted each one up and gave them a hug and a kiss before snapping them back in. Then he pulled off his sword and sat next to her.
“Hello, Tifa.”
She said nothing.
“I missed you.”
She continued to stare at the street, wondering where Barrett was.
“It’s good to be home.” He looked around. “When we get to the house I would like to talk to you. Please.”
Please, huh?
Of course this is when Barrett pulled up. He hopped out and the two men embraced. Then they all piled into the car. Denzel and Marlene were home since the bus dropped them off a little after six. They’d be doing homework and eating snacks until she got home. Their new rooms were larger so they were happy to stay in them until she came home. She’d had cameras installed so nothing got past her.
They all packed into the car and she dozed off on the way home. When she got there Cloud helped her get the children out and she shuffled them inside. Barrett cooked dinner while she got them all washed up. Then it was dinner time followed by bed time. The littles had their own room now so she read them a story and they were out.
Then she went to her room. Cloud was sitting in the chair near her bed, still dressed. She’d forgotten about him. After getting her night clothes out the dresser she went to wash. In the shower she told herself not to break or give him an in. A few tears slid out but she scrubbed away all traces. After getting dressed she lay on the bed, unhappy. She was too tired to sit on the side and she realized this looked like an invitation but whatever.
“I’m sorry, Tifa.”
She rolled her eyes as she yawned. Here we go with this nonsense.
“A thousand times I’ve gone back to that day and called myself a fool. I’ve had time to think, you know. I really thought about everything that happened. From what I said to what you said and everything leading up to it. The only conclusion that I came to was that I fucked up big time.”
Tifa glanced at him. Gone was the arrogant, self assured man who’d tried to put her in her place. Instead there was a humble one who was staring at her with earnest eyes.
“You were right. I was asking you to take a chance on me but I wasn’t willing to change completely. You had told me from the beginning you were frightened of taking such a step with me. In my arrogance I disregarded that. I figured I could win you around to my way of thinking and eventually I did. When I returned from missions you were happy to see me and we were getting along so well. You were showing me everything I hoped to see and then I wrecked it.” He frowned down at his hands.
“I threw it away because I was caught up in being me. I’ve been going on these missions sexing all these women but hated the thought of someone else even hugging you. You were mine and nobody was allowed to touch you. That’s how it’s always been and nothing will change that. It doesn’t excuse the fact that I was wrong.”
He stood up and looked towards the bathroom. “Can I wash? It’s been a long journey and I feel like stuff is crawling on me.”
She rolled her eyes but nodded.
“Thank you.”
He began to disrobe right there and she turned to her other side. She didn’t want to watch him get undressed. Her sexual emotions were wonky right now. She wanted sex all the time making her ache badly. She knew she was projecting but couldn’t help it. She cut the tv on, watching some mystery show and drowsing off. A little while later there was some noises and she heard him walk over to her.
“Tifa.”
Sighing, she turned her head slightly.
“Can you please turn to face me? It’s difficult talking to your back.”
She turned over to see him standing by the bed. He had on a black t shirt and sweats but that wasn’t what caught her eye. His penis was standing up, tenting the front. The angle had put him close to her face. She blinked at it then laid her head on the pillow. He got on his knees near the bed laying his hands on it.
“I don’t want to break up. I want to stay together as a family.”
“I’m not doing this with you. You told me that before and proceeded to live your own life. I’ll pass.”
“I can change Tifa. I broke it off with Zelody.”
“I knew she was your girlfriend. Perhaps you should sing your sad song to her and she’ll take you back.”
“Now baby hold on. There was no relationship like that. We were friends with benefits. I was clean and she was too. Not to mention she was familiar.”
“Since you met her, how many missions has she been on?”
“Besides the main where I met her, three more including this one. We didn’t have sex on all of them. She tried on the previous mission but I wasn’t having it. We weren’t in the most hygienic of conditions and there was little to no privacy. I’m not that desperate for pussy.”
“Have you ever been to her home?”
He frowned. “No. From the night I set foot in your house, outside of missions, you’re the only woman I had sex with.”
“Outside of missions, eh? How gallant are you?”
He ran a hand over his shorn hair. “I have no reason to lie to you. I want you back, Tifa. If that means exposing myself then so be it.”
She squinted at him. “You’re all about exposing yourself so I don’t see the repentance.”
He huffed but balled his fists. “I don’t want to lose my family.”
“I can’t stop you from taking the girls. I guess we can work out visitation for the others.”
“I don’t want to separate everyone.”
“Sounds like you’re about to do a runner.”
“Come on, Tifa! I’m trying!”
“No, you’re not! You’re whining because you got caught with your pants down. That’s the life you wanted, and you got it! You’re still in fantasy land! I thought you had changed but it was just the same old Cloud in different packaging. After everything we’d been through I thought we might have a chance this time but nope, you were up to your old tricks. Riding me with your eyes on the horizon.”
“That’s not true! You are what I want. You’re definitely what I need. All these years would have been unbearable if you weren’t in my life. I was on some shit, yeah, and I was stupid. I admit it! I came home angry at you because you said you had found someone to assuage your needs. Meanwhile I was getting my rocks off with all who approached me.
I treated you like shit right before your birthday and that was wrong. I’m sorry for that too. I could have punished you one night but I kept it going. Zelody had overheard our conversation and told me I was being duped by you. That you had probably been getting pumped whenever I was gone. She figured you just fessed up to get back at me. She’d manipulated the situation because you were an easy scapegoat. Her words did their job and the rest is history.”
“Most likely she wanted you for herself.”
“She did. After I told her you’d broken up with me she was happy. That made me feel some type of way. I told her I had no intentions of moving on with her. She got big mad and cussed me out.”
“You were leading her on.”
He shook his head. “No, I wasn’t. I told her before we ever started that I was having sex to have sex. I wasn’t looking for a hookup or a side piece. I would keep my condoms on and not disrespect her but it was mission based only. On all missions I told her that to her face and she had to agree before we laid together.”
“Did you share living quarters?”
“No. Living with her would have meant I was in a relationship with her. Stoller had asked me if I wanted to bunk together and I told him it wasn’t that serious. I stayed in the men’s quarters. I didn’t spend the night with her either.”
“She was the reason we got into it in the first place. How is she gonna offer you a blowjob when I’m on the phone? She felt way too comfortable to do that.”
“But I told her-”
“That sex was only mission based. Our relationship wasn’t part of the mission. You let her intrude and be disrespectful to me. Unconsciously you told her you wanted to be with her since she was flagrant with her mouth.”
“I didn’t think about it like that.”
“Because you’re a selfish bastard who uses women. As long as you get what you want their feelings are collateral damage.”
“While I hear what you’re saying I will not be held responsible for her believing in something I never promised. I was extremely clear with my boundaries concerning sex and relationships. It’s not my fault she got carried away on her own fantasy. It’s also not my fault she chose not to heed my words.”
He rubbed his head tiredly. “You know Stoller pulled me to the side and thanked me for being so professional. When I asked why he told me the word on the street was we’d broken up some time ago because of Zelody. At no time had I ever said or shown that anything major had changed in my life. I was just as mean and disciplined as usual.”
He pulled his phone out his pocket. “He also showed me this.” He held up his phone and there was the video of her walking to the club on a social media app. The caption said “How To Walk In Heels”. There were a lot of likes and comments beneath it. He put the phone on the nightstand. “He said to tell you hello.”
She grunted. “He wants to do more than say hello.”
“I know. He asked me if you were into group activities. I told him I was a jealous rat bastard. He laughed and patted me on the back. I think he’s kind of fond of me.”
She shook her head. She wasn’t getting drawn in like that. “So now you’re down two women. I’m quite sure there’s another waiting in the wings to swoop in and soothe your sorrows away.”
“I only want you.”
“Lies.”
“Let me prove it to you.”
“Impossible.”
“I can.”
She frowned at him. “How can you prove that?”
“I just need the chance. I proved that I could be more responsible and that I would return when I was supposed to. I was reaching out to you even when you didn’t respond.”
“After being gone for months you came home to treat me callously before you left again.”
He laid his mouth on his loosely balled hand, showing her his profile. His arm looked rock solid and she licked her lips. He slid her a sideways look. “I was in my feelings.”
“You knew I was fertile!”
He nodded. “I did. I also knew unlike Mira you wouldn’t fuck around if you were pregnant.”
“How could you?”
“I told you I was in my feelings.” The look on his face was purely masculine.
“You could apologize for that. I didn’t ask to get pregnant.”
He sighed deeply. “If it helps I was going to do that to you anyway. The timeline got a little accelerated is all.”
“Go away!” She turned away from him. He was unbelievable!
He climbed onto the bed and held her to him. “Come on, Tifa! Don’t reject me!” He lifted her skirt before pushing down his pants. She felt his head at her entrance.
“No, Cloud! You can’t fuck your way out of this one!” He had her wrapped up and she couldn’t free herself. She angled herself away putting her leg on the bed, laying partially on her stomach. He laid right over top of her.
“I’m not trying to! I promise!” He pushed into her. “I know you’re in need. I can smell it.” He worked his way inside, his knobbed head splitting her flesh. “You’re so fucking tight!” He rolled against her, his cock sliding slowly upwards. “See? That feels good doesn’t it?”
Tifa burst into tears because it was true. It felt so damned good and the ache was being soothed with each gentle thrust. “I hate you!”
“No, you don’t baby. You’re just hurt.” He kissed her neck. “What you need is love to make it better.”
“You can’t even spell that.”
“Yes, I can. It’s spelled T-I-F-A. You are my love language.”
“No, I’m not! I’m the stupid woman who keeps falling for your bullshit!”
“I’m the true idiot because I keep on ruining my chances.” He moaned softly.
She said nothing, laying there as he pushed to the hilt inside her.
“Let me love you, baby.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“You don’t know how to love.”
His hips started moving again. “How about you teach me?”
“You don’t want to love so it makes no sense to teach you. You want to fuck and have fun. You can do that on your own.”
He kissed her neck again. “I can’t. You’re the only person I know who understands what true love is. I need to learn from the best. That’s something only you can do for me.”
She grunted. “Now that I want nothing to do with you, all of a sudden you want my love. Right.” She tried to pull away but it didn’t work. They wrestled for a few moments before she ended up completely on her belly beneath him. He moaned and tilting her ass up, pounded her into the bed.
“I can’t hold it, baby!”
She closed her eyes as her body was overtaken with pleasure. The heavy feel of his body, his hips hitting her ass and his cock pistoning in and out of her was overload after so long. She began to shake as her climax washed over her.
“Oh, Tifa!” His voice was in a higher pitch as he reached his pinnacle. He pushed deep as he shot his seed into her. It hit hard against her walls making her twitch in response.
They lay there catching their breaths as their bodies cooled down. Tifa was cursing herself for being foolish again but she had to admit she felt much better. He slid off of her and to the side. Taking a deep breath he reached for her.
“Tifa, I’m begging you to give me another chance.” He pulled her close. “We can start from the beginning. Barrett tells me the store should be ready to open next week. I won’t be traveling any time soon. I may take a mission here or there for Materia but the main focus will be here. I have too many young children to keep going out. While it is good money the best ones take me away for months at a time. I don’t want to miss out on my children by chasing money.
We could start off by dating and learn each other all over again. While we’ll have the children I think we could make a go of it. It’s not like I’m a stranger. I know the pregnancy makes you horny and if you like, I could ease your body. We can take it slow. I’ll do whatever you want but please don’t throw what we have away. You’ll be the only woman in my life. There will be no others, missions or otherwise. They don’t compare to you anyway.”
“You say that but you’re always having sex with them.”
“That’s what I do, Tifa. I’ve been doing it for years. I work and I fuck. I did it when I worked for Shinra. I did it when we were after Sephiroth. When I was trying to find myself I did it. When I came back I did it. As long as I kept things simple it worked.” He sighed. “I understand that is cold comfort to you.”
“It is when you touted change.”
“I’m not going to lay here and make excuses for what I did. I was beside myself when I told you about how I was fucking Zelody. Even knowing I’d come to impregnate you I was still arrogant and feeling myself. I can’t blame Zelody for priming me because I should have known better. Those pictures you sent had me burning. You were goodness knows how many miles away showing all these thirsty motherfuckers my shit. I saw your titties hanging out and they got a good look at the shape of your ass. They even put their eyes all over these thick thighs that should only spread for me.” He kissed her neck again.
“My titties weren’t hanging out. They were tastefully displayed and I had a bra on.”
“Those shorts were inappropriate.”
“No they weren’t. I was completely covered. I’ve seen mages wear sheer clothing over their undergarments and its been fine.”
“They’re not built like you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“They’re all trim and petite.”
“Are you calling me fat?”
“Don’t ever put words in my mouth. You’re not as small as you used to be but you’re not fat. You’re different. Just like events changed me they changed you. I grew taller and broader but you grew thicker and wider. Your shoulders are broader and your hips and thighs are bigger too. You still have a small waist though. For a phrase you are voluptuous. If I put a picture of before and after childbirth you’ll see what I mean. I’m quite sure you don’t wear the same size you did before.”
“No, I’ve gone up a few.” She used to wear a small/medium, now she wore extra large.
“All that meat brings the dogs out and I have enough issues warning off the hungry ones in the tavern.”
“You don’t have to warn them off.”
“Yes, I do. They get bold if you don’t put them in their place early on. You up in there smiling at them and their eyes are glued to your ass when you’re walking away. They undress you with their eyes.”
“There’s nothing wrong with men finding me attractive.”
“I never said there was.” He let her go and got up, heading towards the bathroom.
Tifa sighed when the door closed, turning to lay on her back and start at the ceiling.
What was she doing?
She gave in too much and too easily. This was just like when he got her pregnant. She didn’t even fight too much. She’d just let it happen, knowing what the outcome would be. He’d flipped her into all different types of positions, never smiling, just satiating her lust.
Had she wanted to get pregnant by him? Did she want to be dominated? She’d never looked too closely at the answers to those questions. Maybe because the horrible truth was for once he’d been all about her. He hadn’t been looking over her shoulder, trying to find a better option. He’d wanted to get her, Tifa, pregnant out of spite and jealousy.
Cloud came out the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed. “Tifa, it’s late and I’m exhausted. May I please spend the night?”
Tifa rolled her eyes. Half the house was his, both of their names on the paperwork. “Yes, you may. There are blankets in the hall closet.”
He climbed into bed and cuddled her, slipping his hand into her bra top.
“Cloud, I didn’t say here.”
“There’s no other bed. I checked and the couch isn’t comfortable. I’ll get you a better one.” His big body shifted until he was plastered to hers. “Thank you, beautiful. I’ll be sure to repay your kindness in the morning.”
Frustrated but unable to extricate herself Tifa huffed and went to sleep, with his hand gently massaging her breast.

Tifa woke to an orgasm.
Her eyes slid open as her hips bucked in reaction. That damned man! She looked down her body. Cloud was in between her legs, watching her. His mouth started moving again and he French-kissed her. She bit her lip as his tongue swirled within her cunt. She loved when he did that and he knew it. He started pumping it in and out of her like a little dick and she ground against his face. Her need had her ready.
“No, Cloud! This is not good.”
“Yes, it is. Let me give you relief. It’ll be alright.” So saying he suckled on her clit.
Her hips bucked but he held her down as he feasted on her. Her body wound into knots as his tongue and lips brought her to the pinnacle again. Right when she was about to climax he stopped and she gave a disappointed sound before slapping herself on the forehead. She couldn’t even help herself.
He kissed her tiny baby bump then crawled up her body, laying on top of her. It didn’t escape her notice that they were both naked. He slid into her swiftly, taking her breath away.
“Close your legs.”
She did and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. That felt crazy, at least she thought it did until he started moving. They both groaned at the sensations before Cloud grabbed her hands and raised them above her head. Then he rocked into her, his knobbed head setting off all sorts of exquisite pleasure.
“I can feel my baby in you.” He ground his hips into hers and her orgasm crashed against her senses, making her body shake. She had to clench her teeth to stop herself from screaming because it was just that powerful.
When she finally came to herself it was to find him staring down at her with a strange expression. “What?” Damn, she was breathless.
“You’re so gorgeous. It was erotic watching you orgasm, feeling you flex around me while the lump of my baby pressed into my belly.” He gave her a soft kiss that he deepened before he started rolling his hips again. She reached her peak once more before he groaned and pulsed within her depths. He let her hands go and remained on her, connected as he kissed her softly, just how she liked.
He didn’t rush and his hands were everywhere. She wasn’t sure how it happened but he ended up cradled between her thighs and she was holding him to her. For the first time he made slow love to her. It was different from their other acts, like he was trying to show her how he felt with his body. They rocked together, sharing their sensual emotions, both wishing things were different. At some point she started crying but he kissed her tears away. They climaxed together, the euphoria so high she fainted.
When she woke she found him staring down at her, looking a little dazed. “I think I passed out, baby.”
“Me too.”
He kissed her hard before rolling off of her and going to the bathroom. She lay there, not trying to think too much. That had been out of this world. He came back and lay down next to her. “I would like to apologize once again for ruining our relationship. I disrespected you big time. I had four months of radio silence to think about everything. Me, you, us and the rest of our family.” He ran a soft finger down her cheek.
“One moment I had been on top of the world, and the next it had all come crashing down. You were right that I shouldn’t have formed an arrangement with you if I was going to live like that. It had gone to my head that you knew I was sexing on missions. I had forgotten we weren’t a couple when I started going back to work. Of course the majority were unmemorable individuals so I guess that wasn’t so bad. As far as Zelody goes I didn’t consider her a relationship.
That was silly on my part. While we weren’t exclusive she was my main partner when we were on missions. Me living with her made no difference if I ate meals and had constant sex with her. Stoller asking me if I wanted to bunk with her should have tipped me off I was showing signs of being in a relationship. For me she was just a friend with benefits who was clean and familiar. She wasn’t someone special that I dreamed about or just had to be with.”
He laid on his back and stared at the ceiling. “That day you said that she was sizing up the competition and I told you there was none. To me there never was but I’m not her. She’s nothing like you, in size or temperament. She doesn’t know how to cook and she lives like I used to, wherever the wind blows and the money runs. At one point that was what I thought I wanted but then I had children and things changed. They changed again once I got settled in with you. I became part of a community and there were some things to look forward to. I was known as a family man and respected for working hard to keep food on the table.
This place is so different from Edge, you know? The tone is one of prosperity and good vibes. We weren’t struggling and were actually on our way up.”
Tifa lay there listening, just taking it all in. She wanted to see where he was mentally.
“One of the warrior mages I was on duty with told me he was on patrol when I got into it with you. You were on speakerphone so he heard everything. He told me that sometimes what feels good isn’t always what’s good for you. He shared that he’d once been in my position. In his pride he’d stayed with the woman he’d met working. It was the worst mistake he ever made.
I asked him why. He said since they were together all the time it seemed great. She was adventurous, always willing to try new things and go places. His lady had kids by him and tended to stay close to home. She’d seemed so boring and restrictive. When he got hurt two years later the new chick left him in the hospital to rot. The woman he’d discarded was contacted since she was his proxy. She got him back on his feet since she was a caregiver by trade. He paid her to nurse him back to health and it took three years to woo her back.”
“What was his moral?” She was sure he’d told him for a reason.
“He said some women are for nuts and some are for life. Don’t throw away my life for nuts.”
She started laughing and he smiled at her. “I laughed too and I took his number because I liked him. His name is Twilden and he lives on the other side of town with his family although his kids are in their twenties.” He sighed. “His story was short but it was full of knowledge. Twice I’ve chosen fun and excitement over life and look at where I am. The excitement died and the fun ran away in the face of responsibility. All that’s left is what’s for life. That’s you.”
“Gee whizz, don’t I sound like a treat.”
“That’s the beauty of his story. His woman had felt that way to him. She was taking care of everything he couldn’t. When he came home the food was hot, the house clean and the bills paid. They were a team but he didn’t see that until she was gone. It hit deeper than I expected it to. It was like Mira and I.”
“Wasn’t that the happiest time of your life?”
“It was. For a while, anyway. However, I’ve grown up and being an adult isn’t always fun. Having responsibilities isn’t that great either but that’s life. I’m willing to work to get you back because you are worth it. Sure, I could have gone with Zelody but to what end? I dealt with her for the sex. I’d never considered her past it. Why would I? I had you at home.
I’d taken you and your presence for granted. Again. It wasn’t until you broke up with me I realized that for me, you had everything of value. You had my children, my gear, access to my money and my home. Everything I owned or loved was connected to you in some way. I couldn’t leave you if I tried.”
“I will give you back everything. If I forget something tell me and you can have it.”
“I don’t want it back, baby. I want you.”
“You have enough money to pay for anything you desire.”
“My children don’t need money, they need love.”
“You’re not unattractive.”
“Looks aren’t everything.”
“Why does this matter now?”
“What makes you think it didn’t matter before? I wanted to rush back but I couldn’t. We were in a remote location days from anywhere that smelled like civilization. I was stuck and your quiet game is rough. So the question is what do you want from me?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing?”
“No. I have my own business, my own car and if you give me some time I will buy out your portion of the house.”
“Don’t you want sex?”
“I’ve spent years being celibate. The children are older so I’ll be able to date. It will come in time.”
“What about love?”
She gave a bitter laugh. “I didn’t have your love before so I’m not missing anything.”
He frowned. “So why did you go through with the agreement?”
“I was lonely and you were working so hard. You seemed different and you were already in my bed. Plus, you weren’t promising anything but progress and affection. It was a start.”
“Do you want a man at all?”
“I did but then a selfish bastard got me pregnant without considering my feelings. He never asked me if it was what I wanted.”
“You could have said something.”
“I told you not to come in me. You told me you could do what you wanted since it was your pussy.” She rubbed her baby bump softly. “I don’t know many men that will want me as I am.”
“There’s nothing wrong with you.”
“On one hand you are right. There isn’t a darn thing wrong with me. On the other you had a whole girlfriend and slept with whomever caught your fancy. There must be something I didn’t do for you. You were also quite disrespectful to me. Not to mention you’ve broken my heart more than once. It does make one wonder.”
He sat up and gave her an unreadable look. “Why did you keep the baby?”
“Why would I get rid of it? This little one was created with intent.” She realized she was exposing herself but everything was done.
“Alright, then. Let’s talk business.” He sat up and faced her.
Her eyebrows raised. “Business?” Now?
He nodded. “Business. We have a life that is entwined but an emotional relationship that has been shattered. This is the first time we’ve ever dated each other, right?”
“Yes.”
“So from a relationship point of view this is my first fuck up.”
“Unfortunately, we had a friendship first and you destroyed that as well. You can’t separate one from the other. That’s how you got here with me in Wuxia Village.”
“It wasn’t completely destroyed because you let me stay.”
“I didn’t throw you out on the street, no.”
“You also kept me in your bed.”
“You were useful, I agree.”
“Fair enough. So us having sex isn’t the problem. You’re still willing to lay with me.”
“Eh.” She waved her hand back and forth.
“Since you want to buy me out of the house I’m willing to accept payments in sex.”
“Payments in sex?” What in the world?
“Yes. Each time you lay with me I’ll take off five thousand Gil.”
“The house is worth ten million Gil. I’ll be paying it off for the rest of my life.”
“Not true. Your portion is only five million.”
“That’s still a lot of sex.”
“Right now the bills are higher since the house is larger. You also have to pay childcare. I’ll still need the girls to reside with you. I’m not equipped to take them right now. I’m willing to pay for their room and board as well as my portion of their daycare.”
“I can just give that back to you.”
“That’s ridiculous because it puts you at a loss. I’m also willing to pay child support for Ether. I want my name on his birth certificate.”
“Who says I’ll let you?”
“I’ll just take you to court and get a blood test. His eyes glow green and he has mako traits. I need to be with him to train him properly. If that means going to court for visitation and partial custody I will.”
“Partial custody?”
“Yes. I can’t change the past but I can work on the future. He’s going to need me even if you don’t think so.”
Tifa had to admit he did have a point. Only Cloud knew how the mako affected his body and no amount of love and gentle understanding could override that. “I will concede that.”
“Now concerning room and board. I’m willing to pay you to live here.”
She raised her eyebrows. “Live here?”
“Yes, I’ll take over one of the other bedrooms. Or I can stay with you for the ten and we split the bills evenly. This will include sexual participation.”
“You’re pushing hard for sex.”
“I have no reason to lie about my proclivities. I want to bury myself within you every chance I get.”
She felt a rush of pleasure at his words but tamped it down. “Who says I’ll accept? ”
He shrugged. “It’s a win-win situation. You get money and dick. Even if you don’t get dick you still get money.”
“You’re a bad bet.”
“I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. It was terrible not knowing if you had ran out and slept with the next man in retaliation.”
“I could have.”
“True but I can’t worry about that now. I can only accept that you let me rock you last night and this morning. You carry my child and no matter how many men you sleep with it won’t change that fact.”
“I feel like we’re just sliding down a slippery slope. It’s easy to spread my legs but my heart is done. You’ve never been on the really messed up end of an emotional situation. Even when Mira wasn’t acting right you were doing you. I’ve been stung by my willingness to allow you to re-enter my life.”
He sighed deeply. “When I started the arrangement I wanted to get you accustomed to me being your man. We had such bad blood between us I figured we would take baby steps. I admit I did burn you and I knew I could only show you over time that I was different. I could see you beginning to thaw and that was great. The next step was to get you to sign paperwork to be in a formal relationship with me. I was actually hoping to convince you to marry me instead.”
She raised a skeptical eyebrow. “Marry you?”
“Yes.”
“Why would you want to marry me?”
“Our lives, as we said are, intimately intermingled. We had sex every night. It made sense to solidify our relationship.”
“I notice you didn’t say a thing about love.”
“How can I? You dumped me for cheating four months ago and wouldn’t speak to me. The first thing would be to establish communication. Just saying I’m in love with you won’t cut it because it sounds fake.” His eyes held hers. “It was painful, wanting to connect but not being able to. You wouldn’t respond and Barrett told me you were crying all the time.
Zelody tried to make up with me but I wouldn’t have it. She was saying how we could make a good life together and she wasn’t afraid to be in an open relationship. I told her if that was true she wouldn’t have butted into ours. She said she’d been joking and that annoyed me even more. I told her I wanted nothing more to do with her since messing up my personal life was so funny.”
Tifa didn’t feel vindicated because that had been mean spirited on Zelody’s part. She didn’t feel sorry for him either because he put himself in that position. “I don’t know what to say to be honest. This is not easy for me.”
They sat in silence, each contemplating what was said.
He shifted bringing him back into her focus. His finger gently circled her aureole. “Is your milk still flowing?”
“Yes.”
He was silent for a few moments. “Can I drink from you?”
They stared at each other before she nodded.
They shuffled to arrange the covers over them and she lay on her side facing him. He scooted close and slipped a nipple into his mouth. He was gentle as he pulled from her. Hesitantly she caressed his head and they lay there peacefully.
