Eternal Soulmate Read online

  As I’m walking Ashlynn to the car, I asked her what Nana said to her. It had been bugging me since it happened. “Ash baby, what did Nana say to you? You smiled and shook your head yes.”

  Ashylynn giggled, “She said, I am the one that had finally stole your heart and she could tell from the look on my face, you had mine. Is it that obvious?”

  “I guess so Ash, but I am not ashamed one bit.”

  I see her feet are hurting and she takes off her boots in my car. I turned on her favorite songs I have on my iPod that I listen to when she is not with me. I looked over and see my sweetheart sleeping, she looked exhausted. We arrive at her house and I take her inside from the car. I love having her in my arms.

  Chapter 18

  ~Cooper~

  Ashlynn woke up as I was walking up her porch. She looked right in my eyes and kissed me. Damn, this woman is beautiful. Neither of us pulled away from the kiss and it had to be the most passionate kiss I had ever had.

  “Sweetheart, hand me your keys so I can open the door.”

  Ashlynn handed me the keys and I unlocked the door. She walked in and I walked just a foot in her door. She grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled me with her. This woman was going to be the death of me. I have no control when it comes to her. She is gorgeous and I mean in EVERY sense of the word.

  She started to kiss me and rubbed on my body. I was hard instantly and hoped I could control myself. I had never been so attracted to a woman so much in my life. I love this woman and had planned on telling her tonight, but, then she fell asleep.

  As we kiss, she led me to her bedroom. I put my hands on her side and lift her shirt over her head amazed at the beauty of her body. She takes my shirt off and starts to run her nails over my chest as I unbutton my pants. I look down and she has already taken off her jeans.

  I layed her gently on the bed and started to kiss her neck all the way down her breasts to her stomach. She smelled breathtaking. She pulled my hair to get me to come back to her and I did as she asked.

  “Cooper, I love you. I know it seems like it is early, but I know with all my heart I love you. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my entire life.”

  I looked in her eyes and she had tears, but she was also smiling. I hoped those were happy tears.

  “Ash, I love you more than my next breath. I want you to be mine always. I love you more than I ever thought I was capable of loving another person.”

  “Cooper, make love to me. I want you so bad. I have never truly made love before. To be in love is such an amazing feeling and I am so glad to share it with you.”

  I didn’t say anything; I just took her face in my hands and kissed her as softly as I could.

  She started to move her hips up to me and I moved with her. I loved her body being underneath mine and the touch of her skin.

  She spread her legs to let me know she’s ready. I slowly push myself in her. I feel her hand on me guiding me in. She is beyond my image of perfection feeling more incredible than I ever could have imagined. Holy hell, it’s been a while since I have been with a woman. I hoped I could last. I felt so overcome with emotion, finally being able to tell her I Iove her and her telling me she loves me back. I wanted to make love to her all night and I hope both our bodies could take it.

  I could tell she was in a bit of pain as I moved in her. She didn’t say anything but I could tell by her body. “Ashlynn, are you okay baby? Am I hurting you?”

  “Just a little Cooper. I don’t care though. I want this.”

  We moved together and it felt like heaven. I could feel her really tense up and it felt as though she was coming. She didn’t say anything and I sure as hell was not stopping until she is finished.

  “Cooper, that is the first time I’ve ever come and it was with you. You’re going to make me addicted to you.”

  “My pleasure sweetheart.” I kept moving and finished a few minutes later. I didn’t want this moment to end and held off for as long as I could. I felt like we were connected in every way possible now- Our hearts, our mind, our bodies and our souls.

  “Ashlynn you made me experience feelings both physically and emotionally that I never knew were possible. I hope you know how much I do truly love you and worship you. I want to make you happy and give you the world. You deserve that and more. I am truly the luckiest man in the world to have you love me.”

  “I do love you Cooper, more than you will ever know. I would like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life loving you and being loved by you.”

  As we both lie shaking from what we both experienced holding each other, we knew our lives were forever changed.

  ~Ashlynn~

  I started my day as I normally do. I got my coffee and my computer started for the day to check my emails and make sure there was nothing urgent. I was working from home today, which I was actually pretty happy about. I felt nervous about leaving today. It was time to talk to Coop. It took me 25 years, but I felt safe with a man. I would trust him with my life. I hoped my mom was smiling down from Heaven. I have some stuff to do today before my date with Cooper tonight. I can’t wait to see him.

  ღ

  Cooper pulled up right on the dot. I was wearing my silky black shorts and a silky tank top that matched it with my favorite summer wedge sandals. The tank top had a sport cut that showed off my back. Cooper noticed it almost immediately. My wedges made me a little bit taller. Cooper was about 3-4 inches taller than me. The perfect height for me to wrap my arms around his neck. I didn’t have to stretch to reach. He looked like he always does, perfect. Dark jeans, white button down shirt and hair styled to just stick up slightly. It was super short and looked hot. He came to the door and handed me daisies which are my favorite flower. He took my hand and led me to his car. In Cooper style, he opened the door for me and led me to the car. It smelled just like him. I could roll around in his scent. It was distinct and I knew till the day I died when I smell that scent I would think of him.

  We were eating in Taylor tonight, not far from my home. His uncle said this place had the best tamales. He took me to Mas Fajitas and got us a booth taking a seat beside me. When any part of our bodies touch I can feel the heat. I wouldn’t define it as sparks, but it was fire, it was passion, it was want. He asked if he could order for me and he does like he has been ordering for me for years. He ordered each of us a margarita and two combo plates with all the things I love. My favorite food was Mexican and always would be. I loved to eat! He smiled when he saw me dig into the chips and salsa. We were listening to the tejano music playing lightly in the back ground. I knew very little Spanish, but had this urge to whisper something to him.

  I looked in his eyes and whispered "Quiro hacerte el amor" and then I reached up and kissed his lips while I held his hand.

  He laughed and responded in perfect Spanish and said "yo tambien". I smiled and started cracking up. I’m sure I was turning red. I have never done anything like that before and it felt exhilarating. I was bilingual challenged but with Cooper, clearly everything he did is right on. Damn he sounded sexy rolling his tongue like that. I might just get him to speak Spanish to me more often. He told me he had to know it for his job since many Austinites are Spanish speaking.

  This evening with Cooper I realized I had this urgency like I couldn’t get enough. I was so petrified it was going to go away, that something was going to happen, and he was going to be taken from me. I wanted the love that I had only seen in the movies and read about. I’ve never seen it in real life and I wanted it. I was getting this finally with Cooper. I know I want this with him and only him. There was nothing he could tell me that would change it. Our connection seemed so strong, so effortless. I pulled away and smiled at him as our food was getting delivered.

  “Why are you smiling Ashlynn? Not that I’m complaining. I love to see your smile.”

  “I am just so happy. I am so afraid something is going to change that Cooper. I do need to talk to you about som
e things, but I don’t want to ruin our mood. Let’s do it later.”

  “Whatever you have to say I want to hear, I want to know everything about you baby, please don’t hide anything from me. There is nothing you could tell me that would change how much I love you. I know you have things that have happened to you, I can sense it. Call it my police intuition, call it my instinct I’ve had all my life from growing up with a father that well…. We can talk about that another time.”

  Cooper looked up and to see tears in Ashlynn’s eyes.

  “Cooper I just love you so much. I want you in my life and I know for a fact this is the real thing. I feel it in my bones, my heart and my soul. I have never loved a man in my life that hasn’t let me down. I’m scared.”

  ~Ashlynn~

  We pulled up to my house and Cooper left the car running.

  “Cooper, come in for a while. I don’t want you to leave yet. I don’t want the night to end.”

  “Ash, I probably shouldn’t.”

  Cooper leaned in to kiss me and I lost all self control. I know I had to make the next move. I felt like my life depended on it. I crawled over the console and straddled him in the seat. I kissed his lips and couldn’t stop. He was trying to do what his brain was saying, but his body was clearly into me as much as mine was into him. I could feel him smiling as I attack him. I couldn’t resist him. He smelled so good, looked so damn good and felt so damn good. Fuck a duck, I wanted this man.

  “I want you Cooper, please…”

  “Ash baby, I want you too.”

  Now I got it. I got what Grace had been telling me about when she said she could not control herself, when she told me the feelings were amazing and there were no words to describe it. I remembered asking her what the big deal was since I didn’t get it. I had never finished when having sex with a man, it was basically for him. Yes, it felt great at first, but that was over pretty damn quick. Like 20 seconds quick. All I could think about was getting it over with. This was a totally different feeling with Cooper. The radio was on and I started rubbing against his jeans to the beat of the music. I could feel him responding and he was moving his hands up and down my back. My silk top slowly creeped up higher and higher. One little tug and it would be off. Screw it, I wanted it off now. Cooper started moving with me and the friction that was building was making me horny as hell. I wanted him in me.

  Maybe before Cooper I’d never truly had sex. I’d never really let my mind and body go. I never completely trusted a man to totally let go but with Cooper, I couldn’t form a coherent sentence. My body was doing what it wanted and not waiting for the okay. Our lips didn’t leave each other and I started to pull back so I can nibble on his ears. I bet he’d love that. I licked his ears and sucked just a little bit and I got his full attention at that point. I smiled; yeah he wasn’t resisting me now. He started to kiss my neck and moaned. I had never had sex in a car and it was about to happen. Hell to the yes! Okay, so maybe on the hood wasn’t totally crazy after all. Cooper could take me any way he wanted and I would be willing. I unzipped my shorts and moved one leg so I could remove them. That proved to be a little more difficult than I thought it would be, but there was no stopping a determined woman.

  I was so turned on and could feel the dampness through my panties. I was hoping I didn’t get it on his car. I was wearing my hot pink thong that fit my curves perfectly. They made me feel confident. I even had on my bra that matched with a black bow in the middle. I hoped he liked them. We were both building and the passion I was feeling for him was not slowing down. I hoped this moment never ended.

  Cooper finally whispered to me as we are both breathing so heavy “I want you Ash, really bad.”

  I shook my head yes and he moved my thong to the side. He started to touch me and oh my………. He started to rub my sensitive spot and I thought I might come just from his touch. What the hell am I going to do with him in me?

  “You’re so wet for me Ashlynn, do you want me?”

  “Hell yes, I want you. Can’t you tell?”

  I reached for his button and saw he had already undone it and the zipper. When did he do that? Who the hell cares? He had on no underwear. I grabbed onto his manhood and guided him in me. I sat on him and moved slowly to get him into me all the way. He felt amazing and like how he was made for me. I stretched just enough for him. Ever since the first time we had made love, I craved his touch and the feeling of him being in me, completing me.

  “You’re so tight, you feel so good, I hope I can last. I want you to be pleased first. If I start to hurt you I’ll stop. Don’t be shy with telling me baby. I plan on making love to you more times than we can count, so I am not going to get greedy.”

  This man was too good to be true. I moved up and down on him slowly. I wasn’t used to being on top and hoped I was doing it right.

  “Ash baby keep moving exactly how you are. It feels so good being so deep in you.” I kept moving up and down on him and he put his hands on my hips and guided me.

  “Ash I’m getting close, are you?”

  “Coop, I have already come twice, sorry I didn’t tell you. You feel like heeeeavvvveeennnnnnn annnnnndddddd three.”

  Making love with Cooper was full of a passion, something I had never felt and nothing was going to stop me. No matter where, or how hard, or how soft, or how long, or how short it would be making love.

  I was panting hard and trying to stay on top of him without falling onto his shoulder. He started to come and as he did he looked in my eyes. He finished and grabbed my face. “I love you Ashlynn. You were made for me. Damn you feel so good and I don’t want it to end. Could I just stay in you all day and night?”

  “Coop, I love you too. Come in the house, I want a round two and I must have your smell in my bed again.” I wiggled to try to get my panties back up and scoot off him trying not to get anything on his car. I picked up my shoes and my purse and started to open the door.

  “No Ash I don’t think so, you need to wait a sec. I’ll open it for you. You will never be treated as anything but a lady when you’re with me.”

  Chapter 19

  ~Ashlynn~

  I waited as Cooper went around the car to let me out. We walked in the house and I gave Max a pat and a kiss on his head and grabbed us some waters. We sat on the couch for a bit and drank our waters. I turned on the radio and changed it to the old rock channel we have in Taylor. He wiggled his eyebrows up and down and laughed.

  “I thought you listened to mostly country?”

  “I do, but I know you don’t like it as much and whatever you like I’ll learn to like. This is what you like so, this is what we are listening to.”

  He walked over to the radio and turned on the country channel and then grabbed my hand to dance with me. He held me close and we danced. I have had such a wonderful night and didn’t want to ruin it by talking about my past. I wanted to pretend like it didn’t happen, but I knew it wasn’t possible. I closed my eyes and let Cooper led me and swayed me along the living room floor. I envisioned us doing this when we were 80 years old, me being in his arms.

  Do you believe two hearts really grow into one? They beat as one? As we were dancing I could hear our hearts beating together, I could hear and feel our breathing together and I looked up right after he kissed my forehead and smiled at Cooper knowing he had been created for me. There was no doubt in my mind. We danced to two more songs and decided to head to bed. He carried me to the bedroom and somehow he managed to get us in the door without us both being damaged was a miracle. Not to mention, I had my hound following to make sure I was okay.

  I called Cooper in the bathroom and showed him the toothbrush I bought for him. He pulled me to him and kissed me gently. We brushed our teeth together and headed to the bedroom.

  “Hey Ash, we’ve made love twice and we didn’t use anything. I’m clean and have only had sex with three other women in my life. I know you said it was two for you and you were clean too, but I was just wondering
about pregnancy.”

  “Cooper I’m on the shot and have been for years. I started them when I was a teenager for my periods. We’re good. I trust you and wouldn’t have let it get that far if there was anything I was concerned about. If you remember, I was the one mounting you. And, by the way, I am damn proud of it. You’re the only man that has ever pleased me and I mean really pleased me!” I move my eyebrows up and down.

  “I never could’ve imagined it would have felt so good. I have never finished with a man. I have certainly never been with a man that cared about whether I was pleased or not. I can reassure you that I was 200 percent satisfied and I hope you are the last man I ever sleep with. Believe it or not, I thought it may have been me. I’ve never wanted sex which caused the idiots I dated to stray.”

  Cooper reassured me. “I guarantee you sweetheart, it’s not you. There is nothing wrong with you. In fact, I think we need to quit our jobs and we can just stay inside all day doing just this- me making love to you. Does that work for you? Sweetheart, no man, should cheat on a woman no matter what. The idiots you dated didn’t know they had such a good thing. Their loss is my gain. I, on the other hand, know what I have and will not be letting you go. You can be sure of that. ”

  “Uhhhhh, there is no way I could handle you all day or all night for that matter. You fit perfect in me, but not for that many times. I do need to walk to survive and that might prove difficult with your junior in me. And Coop, I don’t want you to ever let me go.”

  “I’m sure I can prove you wrong baby, if you want to give me a chance.”

  I took off my outfit and bra and crawled into bed. Cooper dropped his pants and crawled in beside me. Max layed at the bottom and didn’t seem to mind the extra body in the bed. Cooper was the only man I had ever let stay over. I layed on Cooper’s shoulder and he ran his hand along my face. He has always worked hard and his hands show it. When he is touching my face it doesn’t feel rough. He is a man that has probably seen things I can never imagine and he touches me like I am a delicate flower. I can feel he loves me by his touch. The only light was from the moonlight outside and my night light.
