Chapter 26
Rachel was so sure that last night's intense lovemaking with Derek had been a dream. So, when she woke up in the early hours of the morning, she did not bother to get up or open her eyes.
A wide smile spread across her face as she remembered vivid details of what had taken place in the most erotic dream she'd ever had in her entire adult life.
"Hmm... That's something you don't see every day," Derek said beside her.
Her eyes flew open in surprise. "Derek? What are you - wait! That wasn't a dream?"
Derek laughed. "Now I know for a fact that last night was just as amazing for you as it was for me. First, you wake up with a smile and now you think it was a dream? I'm scoring myself an A for effort." Rachel laughed. "Oh my god, I feel so silly right now."
"Don't," he said and kissed the tip of her nose. "I understand how you feel. Last night was almost too good to be true."
She giggled. "And I have been so selfish, I haven't checked on Zoe to see how she's doing."
"She's still asleep. I checked on her a few minutes ago. I think that flight and all the excitement afterward really knocked her out. Thank God, it's Saturday so she can sleep in as long as she wants. And then that leaves the two of us..." "What about us?"
He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "We can sleep in too. Or not."
She laughed. "What do you have in mind, Mr. Fraser?"
"I'm glad you asked," he said with a grin. "Why don't I just show you instead?"
He rolled on top of her and kissed her as if it was the most enjoyable thing he had ever had the opportunity to do.
He took his time feeling her up, pausing now and then to give her a little squeeze on her boob, hips, and thighs until he reached her center where he slid a finger into her without preamble.
The unexpected jolt of pleasure sent a delicious shiver up her spine and had her sucking in a breath.
"You're the devil," she whispered and giggled.
"I agree," laughed and replaced his finger with his shaft, surprising her again and earning a loud moan from her.
Rachel spread her legs wider as if that would open her up even more and let him enter her fully.
"Yes," she moaned in encouragement as he began to ride her faster. "Go harder, Derek. Go harder!"
He drove into her harder and faster, mumbling sweet nothings into her ears while she responded with guttural moans that reverberated through her powerfully.
Their passion for each other was so fierce that they raced one another to the peak of ecstasy, eager to get to the end but reluctant to let go of the moment. They orgasmed at the same time, crying out in unison like a pair of sexually satisfied gorillas in the jungle.
"I might get used to this," Rachel panted when Derek rolled off her to catch his breath. "I am literally having the best sex of my life here."
"That makes two of us," he laughed. "Jeez, that was awesome!"
Rachel laughed. "Another awesome thing is that Zoe isn't awake yet after all of that noise we were making, and none of my neighbors have come knocking on my door to find out what all the racket is about." "I'm sure they can figure that out without coming here to ask."
"Oh gosh, how am I going to face them again?" She said and covered her face with her palms.
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm sure they all know you have sex. I mean, you have a child, for goodness sake. How do they reckon that happened?"
"I know but they don't have to hear me having sex!"
He chuckled. "You're a walking contradiction, Rachel Lane. On the outside, you look like a worldly woman who has been there, done that, but in reality, you're a sweet, conservative lady with a heart of gold." Her proclaimed golden heart melted at his endearing compliments. "That is so nice of you to say," she said softly.

"And I mean it too. You are very special Rachel. I'm sorry that it took me this long to finally realize that, but I promise to make up for the lost time."
She smiled but said nothing. She was too overwhelmed with emotion to find the right words to say.
"On that note, I think it is time we got to our feet and made ourselves presentable before Zoe gets here," said Derek, rising to his feet.
"I agree with you on that," she said, getting up. "I would be mortified if she walked in on us butt naked like this."
They got to their feet and began to dress up briskly, going from one end of the living room to the other to pick up their discarded clothing.
"I was so sure that we got undressed on one spot last night," Derek joked. "How did our clothes manage to get all over the place?"
"I wish I knew," laughed Rachel.
She enjoyed the camaraderie going on between the two of them now and it almost felt as if they'd been dating for months. Their conversations just seemed to flow naturally and their vibes seemed to be in perfect sync together. How was it possible that this man had only been back in her life for a few months now and they'd only decided to explore a romantic relationship together just yesterday?
"Bye, Mommy," said Zoe, making an entrance in her cute unicorn onesie. She had her favorite stuffed animal, Binky the Bunny, clutched under one arm.
"Hey, honey. You're awake!" Said Rachel with extra enthusiasm.
That fiery boost of adrenaline from multiple orgasms is unbeatable. Not even the best coffee could compete with it.
"Mommy!" Zoe squealed when she finally noticed her father in the room for the first time.
She still called him Mommy as she called everyone else. Derek was ok with that. The most important thing was that his daughter recognized him and was happy to see him.
"Yes, Sweety. I am here," Derek said and opened his arms to Zoe for a big hug. "Are you happy to see me here?"

Zoe pinched his nose in response and he laughed.
"I'll take that as a maybe. Let's see if Mommy is cool with me being here too," said Derek meaningfully.
Rachel understood that he was indirectly asking her if it was ok for him to sleep over in her apartment as a 'regular' daddy would.
She appreciated the fact that he decided to check with her first before giving Zoe an answer. She thought that was cool.
It meant that he understood how serious this transition was at this delicate time in their relationship - one that had barely begun.
"That is absolutely fine with me," said Rachel with a happy smile. "Daddy can come here whenever he wants and he can sleep here too. That's what families do, right? They live together."
"One hundred percent right!" Derek said with a look of relief.
It felt good to have earned Rachel's trust after all the mistakes he had made since they met. Starting from that morning after her birthday when he'd acted like a jerk simply because she hadn't been as smitten with him as he'd expected. Thankfully, he'd learned his lessons and now it was time for him to get his act together and make up for his errors.
"I think the next thing on the agenda is... breakfast!" Rachel said dramatically, earning a round of applause from a happy Zoe.
They went into the kitchen together to get breakfast rolling, and while Rachel was busy whipping up something for them to eat, Derek and Zoe entertained her with the remix version of some popular nursery rhymes.
Rachel could not remember the last time in her life that she was this happy. This was what she had always wanted - her own home.
But despite the happy atmosphere and mellow vibes in the kitchen, she could not deny that something was still missing.
