Hayze was not expecting to wake up to River-rose's small hand down his pants, slowly stroking him.

He groaned quietly, his hips lifting off the bed. "Ba-babygirl. What are you doing?"

He stared down at her as she locked eyes with him and slowly slid his boxers off. His hard length immediately stood tall and River immediately latched onto it with her plump lips, sucking gently.

"Merda, babygirl. Whats got you in the mood?"

She hummed against his length quietly and it sent gentle shivers up his spine.

Slowly, she eased a bit more of him into her mouth and his head fell back as he began panting. "Oh shi-" he gasped as his tip dissapeared down her throat. He quickly reached down and tugged her up by her hair gently before bringing her up to his face. He kissed her passionately, silently telling her how good she was and how much he loved her.

"Ti amo River. Ti amo," he whispered against her lips.

She whined and tugged him back in for a kiss. He gently pried her mouth open with his tongue and then he dipped it into her mouth.

"Say it to me in english, please Hayze," she panted as she pulled away from him.

He grasped her bum in his hands and kneaded it, lifting her into his lap. "I love you River."

She smiled and leaned up to kiss his forehead before climbing off of him and running into his walk in closet.

He growled in annoyance. "What. Are you teasing me babygirl? If you are you better come back over here right now and bend over the bed so i can spank you."

All of sudden, River's soft voice drifted from the walk in closet, asking a question that shocked him.

"Hayze... do you want a baby?"

"A baby?"

"Yeah. A baby," she giggled. "It would be kinda cool. I mean-" she drifted off.

"Whats made you want a baby so suddenly?"

"Well, i've finished school and... i know we're both young, but i've heard you talking to Rudi about how you wanted a baby with me. I dunno, it just; it sounded like something sweet. That we could do together."

She came out of the closet in a jaw drooping, innocent looking set of white that basically almost made him release right there and then.

"God, i really love you," he said huskily as he got up and enveloped her in a tight hug. "If you want a baby, i'll give you a baby. But are you sure you're ready?"

"Yes," she said as she tiptoed up to kiss him. "I love you."

Hayze pulled back and cupped her cheeks as he stared into her eyes. "You love me?"

"Yes, i really do. I actually know what it feels like now," she laughed softly.

He picked her up and softly placed her on the bed before climbing over her, covering her whole body with his. "And what does it feel like?"

She leaned up and kissed him before sinking back into the bed and wrapping her legs around his back. "Well... i always think about you. And even when you do things that make me mad sometimes, i still want to kiss you then."

He hummed softly in happiness. "I'm glad. I love you so much," he said as he trailed kisses down her soft skin.

She cradled his head in her hands as he pulled aside her thin dress and sucked gently on her one of her breasts. "Mmm, Hayze. Please."

"Are you sure you're ready?" He asked unsurely as he lifted his head from her chest. "You aren't still sore?"

"No," she panted. "Please."

"You're absolutely sure?"

"Yes! Sì!" She exclaimed as she lifted her hips to meet his.

"Alright. Tell me what you want," he said as he switched to the other side. His hands massaged her waist gently as he took his time showing her how much he adored her.

"I want... i want you inside me," she gasped. "I want your beautiful baby."

"A Dios. Anything for you."

He lined himself up with her and slowly teased her entrance, running himself up and down her soaked folds.

She whimpered and ran her soft hands up and down his back, feeling his muscles move and contract. "Hayze, stop teasing me."

He chuckled and brushed his length over her core in one long, slow teasing stroke.

She pouted before abruptly reaching between them and grabbing his length.

He hissed at the suddeness. "Merda. Gentle babygirl. Gentle."

"Sorry. I didn't me-"

"I know," he said as he kissed her forehead. He slowly eased himself into her and her head fell back as she moaned. He pulled her head back and kissed her hard.

"You're still so tight for me," he whispered.

Because she was so tiny compared to him, she took her time kissing his chest as he slowly rocked into her. If she were taller, she would have been kissing his lips as he made love to her.

She tilted her head up so he could kiss her forehead and she smiled softly as she tucked her face into his chest, reveling in the sounds of his deep, breathy groans.

Here was where she felt safe. Right here in his arms.

"Moan for me," he said as he gripped her waist with one hand and he wrapped his fingers around her jaw. "So i know how good you feel."

She lifted her hips and sighed quietly as he gently rolled his hips forward. "Mmm, Hayze."

"You're so beautiful, River," he panted. "God, i'm so lucky," he groaned as he rolled his hips faster into her.

She closed her eyes and moaned quietly at the feeling of them connected when she heard a small almost distressed groan come from above her.

A hand tangled in her long dark hair and she looked up when she noticed something strange. Silent tears were falling down his face.

He was... crying.

Hayze, the man she saw as her own superman, her rock; was crying as he made love to her.

"Hayze," she gasped as her hands flew up to his cheeks. She gently wiped the tears from his cheek. "My love, why are you crying?"

He looked away from her and sped up his thrusts. She moaned loudly and grasped his backside.

"Stop, please," she pleaded. She grabbed his jaw and he finally came to a halt before collapsing on top of her with a choked sob in his throat.

"Hayze," she whispered as she ran her fingers through his brown hair. Her heart felt heavy as he lay on top of her, pinning her to the bed as he sought comfort from her. "What's wrong?"

He slipped down her body and placed kisses everywhere, not missing a single spot. "I don't deserve you," he said as he kissed the soft skin of her tummy.

"Stop saying that," she pleaded as she sat up and wrapped her arms around his torso.

"I don't. Right from the start, i was selfish. I married you because i was lonely and i wanted someone other than my parents to care for me. You didn't want to marry me."

She placed a kiss on his collar bone gently. "But i'm glad i did. I'm grateful for experiencing your love. Honestly, i am. And if you haven't noticed; i've been taking advantage of the attention you've been giving me. I love it here with you. I love you," she said softly as she peppered kisses all over his neck. "Is that why you were crying?"

He looked away in embarassment and she giggled at how cute he was. "Don't be a hypocrite Hayze. You make me tell you whats wrong all the time. It's the least you could do for me."

"Doing this... made me think of that day," he whispered.

"Tha- Oh," she said, her face falling slightly. "That still bothers you?"

"I f~cking assaulted you. Of course it still bothers me!" He snapped and though she didn't flinch, she looked surprised. "Dammit, I'm sorry babygirl," he said as he carresed her cheeks.

"It's okay," she said gently as she pulled him down into the bed beside her. "Maybe... we should try again later."

"No, bella rosa. If you want a baby, i'll give you a baby. I'd love to see an even tinier version of you running around here," he said with a bright smile.

She smiled sadly and shook her head. "Another time. When we are both ready."
