“That sounds wonderful.” Cecilia smiled, wiping the tears from her eyes.
A week later, as promised, Landon had Cecilia set up with new courses, deciding to do online for now. She lost a part of herself those last couple of days after meeting him. Being physically assaulted was something she’d never expected to happen and it played tricks with her mind. She began to have nightmares, replaying it over in her mind, hearing the cruel laughter and snarky words.
Landon, thankfully, had been there for her every night. Calming her fears, chasing the lingering pain away. She felt safe in his arms. In his life, she felt whole. Every day since the night they had dinner with his parents, he’d been trying to convince her to move in with him. While she hadn’t gone home for anything more than clothes or other small things, her roommate’s nasty remarks because Landon paid her no attention had made the decision to leave easier on Cecilia.
They still hadn’t heard from Ashley, and she knew that weighed heavily on Landon’s mind because she was his little sister and he loved her. But he was hopeful she was using the time to reevaluate her life and priorities. That maybe this was a wake-up call for her.
As she lit candles around the room and spread rose petals on every surface, she tried to mentally prepare herself for the onslaught she knew was coming from Landon as soon as she told him she was ready... ready to have everything with him.
A home, a life, a family.
She wanted it all.
With him.
Running to the elevator, she quickly made a trail of petals from there to their room so he would know where to follow and she could hopefully surprise him.
Looking about the bedroom in satisfaction, a dozen large candles flickering on
the dresser in front of the mirror cast a warm glow around and highlighted the mirror. She rushed to get changed.
Slipping into a bright red teddy, lace cups to cover her chest and a tight bodice to accentuate her body, it fell to just below her ass cheeks and made her feel beautiful.
Hearing a ding announce his arrival, she quickly placed her phone on the night table. Playing soft music in the background, she climbed onto the bed. Laying on her side, she swept her curled hair off her shoulders and propped her head up in her hand.
The wait was brutal.
“Cec?” She heard him call. His voice full of anticipation and surprise.
Mission accomplished, she thought happily.
She waited with baited breath as his shadow fell upon the open doorway.
“Holy fuck, sweets,” he mumbled, eyes fixed on her body, hands clenching into tight fists. His cock was already growing behind his trousers.
I’ve died and gone to heaven. Right? It was the only reason he could think of for his brain misfiring and this stunning woman lying half-naked in his bed. She was beautiful. The red of her teddy making her chocolate eyes and dark hair pop. The lust and eagerness in her gaze had him smiling at her.
“Landon?” She asked worriedly as he stood there like a love struck fool.
“You look… amazing, Cecilia. This,” he waved his hand around the room, “is perfect.”
Smiling, she slowly crawled from the bed walking towards him seductively. An air of confidence in herself that he’d never witnessed before. It made her even sexier.
Reaching him, she leaned up so her lips touched his neck, whispering, “I want it all, Landon.”
Floored that she was ready, he asked her, “You sure, sweets? I’m never going to let you go; I hope you know that.”
Laughing lightly, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes, she said, “I knew that the first time you touched me.” ...A kiss on the base of his throat. “The first time you called me your goddess.” ...A kiss under his chin. “The first time your lips touched mine.” ...A light kiss on his lips. “The moment you owned my innocence.” ...And finally, against his lips. “I’m yours forever, Landon.”
Growling deep in his throat, he claimed her lips in a deep kiss, so deep, they were one. Gripping her ass cheeks in his hands, he picked her up slamming her back against the wall just as she let out a moan while his throbbing dick met her bare pussy.
Pulling back from her lips, he kissed his way down her throat to her breasts, nipping them as he went. When her teddy got in his way, he growled, “You fond of this?”
“What?” she asked breathlessly.
He didn’t bother answering, just tore the lacy scrap of material from her body before sucking the turgid peak of her nipple deeply into his mouth.
“Oh, Landon,” she panted roughly.
