Asking Joey For A Favor

Leah

I grumbled as I untangled myself from Brennan. I had heard the phone ringing in the other room in my sleep, and I was annoyed that I had been woken up. I stomped out to Brennan’s desk, snatching the phone up angrily.

“Hello?” I grumbled.

“Oh! You must be the whore that’s fucking my best friend’s husband!” An annoying female voice sneered.

“And you must be Diana,” I snapped back.

“I am! Where’s Brennan?!”

“In bed, waiting for me. Where he belongs!” I seethed.

“Go and get him, whore! He will never love you! Know your fucking place! You are just a home-wrecking gold digger!” Diana told me angrily.

“Let me explain something to you, Diana! Diadra is gone. Brennan buried her along with their triplets. He is a widower, which means he is not married. He is single! And I do not appreciate you telling him that he is an adulterer, because he’s not. He is a good man who deserves more than what you are doing to him! Stop harassing him! I will not let you take him away from me.”

Diana burst out laughing. “You almost sound like you care about him. Now, be a good little whore and go get him.”

“No! If I have it my way, you will never speak to him again! He’s moving on. It’s time you did too,” I told her.

“If you’re not going to get him for me, then pass a message on to him, will you? Tell him—”

“No! Because nothing you say matters. Not to me and certainly not to him.”

“Shut up, bitch! Tell him that if he doesn’t give me the money, I’ll do more than just call. I’ll turn his world upside down,” she threatened.

“Go fuck yourself, Diana! Leave him alone!”

I hung up, shaking violently as I tried to draw air into my lungs. When arms went around my waist, I jumped, startled. Brennan kissed my neck.

“What did she want, baby?”

“Brennan! How long have you been standing there?” I asked.

“Since you walked out of the room. What did she say?” He repeated.

“Nothing of importance,” I told him, turning around to wrap my arms around his waist and lean against his chest. “Just making stupid threats about turning your world upside down. I told her to fuck off. I hope that’s okay.”

He kissed my forehead. “It’s not just me in this relationship, Leah. I trust you to protect what we are trying to build. Just like I hope you trust me to do the same.”

“I do. I just don’t like how she makes you feel.”

He ran his hands down my body to cup my ass. “Can I tell you how sexy I thought you were standing up for us? It made my dick hard!”

I burst out laughing. “I could burp and fart at the same time, and I swear you would explode.”

He pulled me up his body, letting me feel his erection. “Oooh. Then you might just get peed on!”

I groaned, smacking his shoulder. “I’m getting a newspaper so I can roll it up and smack you with it!” I teased. “That’s how you deal with naughty dogs!”

He laughed as he picked me up to carry me back to bed, where he laid me down before following me down on it. I let my legs fall open, and he groaned as he pushed his erection against my core.

“God, Leah. You make me feel like a randy goat! If I could walk around with my dick buried in you at all times, I would.”

I giggled as I lifted my hips a little, aligning his cock with my core. “Wanna try it for a day? I’ll walk around naked, and you can stick it in whenever you want.”

He groaned again. “If you did that, you would be so sore!”

I laughed as I wrapped my legs around his waist to pull him forward, making him slide into me. I let my back arch as he filled me.

“Brennan!” I moaned.

“Leah! Yes, baby. Just like that!”

He thrust forward again as he took my hands in his to place them beside my head. He lowered his head to kiss me as he continued his deep thrusts, dragging his tip across the bundles of nerves that made me clench around his cock, causing his movements to become rougher while he kissed me more passionately. When I moaned his name again, he started pounding into me harder, driving us both to the edge. His hands tightened around mine as I arched my back more, taking him deeper into me. He pulled his mouth away from mine to lower his mouth to my neck, where he sucked hard on my skin.

“BRENNAN!” I screamed as I exploded around him, releasing all of my fluids all over his stomach, thighs, and cock.

He pushed in as deep as he could, grinding against the back of my pussy before pulling out quickly, cursing loudly. His cum hit my thigh as he buried his face in my neck, panting.

“Fuck, Leah! You feel too good! You have a dangerous pussy,” he told me as he tossed himself to the side, putting his arm over his face.

I rolled toward him, giggling as I cuddled on his chest. “Why do you say that?”

“Because I started cumming inside you. Half the time I forget to put a condom on, and when I do that, I forget that I‘m not wearing one. I have a hard time remembering that I shouldn’t cum in you. Your pussy just clings to my dick like a glove, and I just want to pump you full of my semen.” He sighed as he ran his hand down my back again. “If we’re not careful, you’re going to get pregnant, and it’ll be my fault.”

I remained quiet for a moment, drawing shapes on his chest while I thought about what he said. Finally, I sighed. “Would it really be that bad if I got pregnant?”

His hand froze on my back. “Leah…”

I sighed again as I tried to sit up, but his arm tightened around my shoulder to keep me in place as he rolled toward me.

“Do you want to have my child, princess?” He asked.

“I don’t know,” I admitted. “I want a baby, but I’m not sure that I’m ready. The last time…Well, you know what happened.”

He ran his hand down my back again. “I do. Just like you know what happened to my girls.” He kissed my lips softly. “I’ll tell you what, Leah. The day you marry me and legally become my wife, we can start trying. But until then we need to be more careful. How does that sound?”

I nodded. “That’s fair. But does that mean that you’re going to take forever to ask me to marry you?”

He raised an eyebrow at me. “Do you really think that I will use not being married as an excuse to avoid having a baby with you?”

“I don’t know.”

He got up to cross the room to his dresser. He opened the top drawer, grabbed something out of it, and came back to the bed. My heart started pounding in my chest when I saw the little black box he clutched in his hand. He helped me sit up before kneeling at my feet and opening the little box to reveal a simple gold band lined with tiny diamonds.

“Leah, there are so many seconds in the day, and every single one of mine is spent thinking about you. When you’re not with me, I wonder if you’re missing me as much as I’m missing you. I wonder if you are counting the seconds until we are together again like I do. And all of that ceases to exist in my mind the moment I see you again. When you look at me, I can see my very own emotions reflected in your eyes. I can see that you are just as devoted to me as I am to you. There is no one better for me than you are. You have a lot of healing left to do, and so do I, but I know that on my journey, there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you. More importantly, there is not one single man who I would trust to protect you on yours. If you allow me to be the man who supports you and holds you when life is too hard or becomes too much to handle, I would gladly take that position and create a life with you that would be worthy of the books you read.” He took a deep breath. “Leah Adams, will you please do me the honor of becoming Leah Morgan, wife of Brennan Morgan?”

I swallowed hard when tears rolled down my face as I nodded while I held out my hand to him. “Yes, Brennan. I will.”

He gently pushed the ring onto my finger before getting up to kiss me softly. “And I will be Brennan Morgan, husband of Leah Morgan.”

I wrapped my arms around his waist as I pressed my face into his stomach while the urge to tell him that I loved him burned in my throat, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment. He kissed the top of my head.

“And as soon as you are divorced, we will go into the city and get married,” he said as he put his arm around my shoulders. “But don’t take this as me pressuring you to divorce him. I will wait for you as long as I have to.”

I smiled against his stomach. “I know.”

I lay awake in bed for a long time after he fell asleep, just staring at the ring on my finger. It was so simple and beautiful. I hadn’t expected him to propose right then and there, but he had. I glanced at him. That meant he loved me, right? He hadn’t said it, but the look in his eyes did. I leaned over to kiss his cheek before sneaking out of bed, checking to make sure that he was still asleep, then going out to his desk to pull his rolodex out of the bottom drawer to get the number I needed. It rang four times before it was answered.

“Brennan? Is everything okay?” He asked sleepily.

“Do you think you can come to Eden?” I asked nervously.

“Leah?”

“Hi, Joseph.”

“Did something happen to Brennan?” He inquired anxiously.

“No, he is fine. I’m the one that needs your help,” I told him.

“Alright. Are you okay?”

“Yeah. I am just ready to file for divorce.” I turned the ring on my finger. “I am ready to move on.”

“With Brennan?”

I smiled softly. “Yes. With Brennan.”
