He grabbed my sides. “Shit…you’re gonna make me come…slow down.” Our eyes locked, and my hair had fallen over my chest. “Move your hair back, I want see your beautiful tits move while you ride me.”
After a few minutes, I felt his body start to quake, and I knew he was losing control. “I need to come, baby. Come for me…so I can let go,” he said.
He looked into my eyes the moment my muscles tightened around him. He always knew exactly when I was coming. At that moment, his mouth opened to a silent cry as he pushed me down harder over his hot release.
Yeah. He was definitely worth the wait.
CHAPTER 34
The next morning, I woke up to two boys with messy dark bed head lying next to me. A.J. was on his Daddy’s chest, sucking on Jake’s pinky finger.
Jake handed him over to me. “He was hungry, so I gave him some oatmeal. It’s not quite cutting it, but I wanted to let you sleep a little more.”
A.J immediately latched on. “Ow…easy, buddy.”
Jake laughed. “Daddy was a little rough on those last night.”
“Mommy likes it rough.”
Jake lifted his brow. “Does she, now?”
We smiled at each other, both still sleepy but sated after last night.
Jake kissed my forehead. “What are our plans for today?”
“I told Daria and Tarah I’d meet up with them for coffee before we head back tonight.”
“Okay. Why don’t you pump me a bottle for him, and I’ll take A.J this afternoon, so you can have some alone time with your friends.
“Really? Are you sure?”
“Yeah…but just a couple of hours. There’s somewhere I want to take you before we leave the city.”

After my alone time, Jake asked me to meet him on 32nd Street because we planned to have dinner at one of the Korean restaurants there.
He hadn’t noticed me yet as I was approaching them. He looked so handsome leaning against a brick wall, his disheveled hair under a Red Sox cap. He had A.J. in the carrier on his chest and my heart melted when he kissed our son on the head, not realizing I was watching them.
“Hey, guys.”
A.J. started flailing his little arms and feet excitedly at the sight of me.
“Hey, Momma. We missed you,” Jake said before kissing me passionately in the middle of the busy sidewalk.
“I missed you guys, too.”
After a stop in a department store so that I could nurse A.J. in a dressing room, we enjoyed a delicious dinner of Kimchi Fried Rice and Noodle Soup.
As we exited the restaurant, I turned to Jake. “Where are we going now?”
“You’ll see.” He flashed me a devious smile, and the way he said it reminded me of our old fear expeditions.
We kept walking until he stopped…right in front of the Empire State Building.
“Jake…what are we doing?” I asked nervously. “I don’t want to go up there right now.”
“Come on, Nina. I thought you were over that.”
“I thought I was too…but…I am just not in the mood.”
“Can you do this for me? I want to enjoy the view of the city with my family. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do with you.”
I looked into his hopeful eyes and just couldn’t say no.
I took a deep breath in. “Alright…okay, let’s do it.”
He was beaming and led the way through the front doors. We paid for tickets so that we didn’t have to wait in the long lines.
I closed my eyes the entire elevator ride up and breathed through it. Even though I was able to get inside one now, it still made me uncomfortable. With everything I had been through in the past year, my old phobias had pretty much dissipated, having taken a back seat to everything else. That didn’t mean I was ever going to love elevators or heights or planes. The important thing was that I could now face those things if I needed to.
When we finally got onto the main observation deck, the view was spectacular since it was a clear day. Of course, being up so high still made me uneasy, but when I looked at Jake’s expression as he stared out over the city, it was all worth it.
We were on the east side facing Brooklyn. Jake spoke softly to A.J. “See over there…that’s where Mommy and Daddy lived when we met. I thank God everyday that He brought her to me.”
Then, it hit me: why he had brought me up here. He was going to propose to me.
This was it.
My pulse was going ballistic as I looked over at Jake who was looking straight ahead taking in the view. He would point things out to me, and I would nod along, wondering when he was going to do it and how he was going to transition all of this into a proposal. After about fifteen minutes, he put his arm around me and said, “You ready to head back to the hotel, babe? It’s almost time to check out.”
