Pretend I'm Yours (Pretend 1)

I shake my head and then nibble on her finger. “I’m the lucky one.”

She moans, and I undo my pants releasing my cock before settling between her legs.

“Fuck me, Kade,” she says, knowing tonight I need her explicit permission.

At her words, I slide inside, filling her as her moans fill the room.

I kiss her hard while I fuck her, taking with me all the pain and heartache she’s feeling. I don’t want her ever to feel that way again. I need to protect her. I won’t let another man hurt her ever. Including me.

So as much as a new feeling is floating up through my body making me feel things toward Larkyn that I didn’t think were possible, I push them back down. I will not feel anything more than I already do toward Larkyn. I can’t.

“Come, beautiful. Let go of the pain.”

She does, and it’s the most exquisite sound that leaves her mouth. I genuinely think she let go in that moment. I come right after her, filling her with my cum.

When we finish, I carry her back to the couch and pick up her clothes, handing them to her. We both get dressed as I stare at her beautiful flushed body and the smile that hasn’t left her lips since she came.

“How are you feeling?” I ask.

She bites her lip and yanks at my shirt, pulling me toward her. “Like you’re the best husband ever.”

I grin, but when I look into her eyes and see something more, I know I’ve fucked up. I quickly stand before her.

“I need to call my friends at the police department and see if I can get Nathan locked up, or at least a restraining order so that he can’t come around you anymore.”

She sighs. “Thank you. You can try. Nathan got out of prison a couple of weeks ago, so maybe that will help.”

I kiss her, needing to take away the memory.

“He went to prison after he raped you?” I ask.

She shakes her head and stares at me with her big eyes as she curls up on the couch like she might fall asleep.

“No. I reported him, but they didn’t have enough evidence to arrest him. Especially since we were dating. It was just his word against mine. But the police did a thorough investigation, and it turned out, he was selling pot and cocaine. He went to prison for possession.”

I frown. I hate that she never got her justice. I know there isn’t much I can do now, but I have enough connections to get a restraining order.

I pull out my phone. “I’m going to make a couple of calls and see what I can do to fix this. Then, I’ll take you home.”

I lean down and kiss her on the forehead.

She smiles up at me. “Thank you, hubby.”

I swallow as she calls me hubby again. She likes calling me her husband or hubby. I love hearing it fall from her lips, but it’s a problem. I promised I wouldn’t hurt her. And right now the way we both feel, I’m going to hurt her.

I step outside the office to make the calls to protect her. Tonight, I can be her prince. But tomorrow, I need to bring back the ass she hates. After hearing her story tonight, it’s more important than ever that I keep her from falling in love with me. She deserves better than a man who only cares about money, his work, and getting laid.

Larkyn

The last few weeks have crept by. Kade has mostly left me alone. He’s been busy working, while I’ve tried to teach as many yoga classes as possible to save as much money as I can. After teaching, I’ve spent most of my time training for the race today. Or hanging out with Serena. I need to stop meeting up with Serena though. All she wants to talk about is Kade.

Are we serious? Do I like him? Have I fallen in love?

It’s exhausting. I can’t handle talking to her anymore.

But I miss Kade. He’s been traveling for work weekly. And even when is home, he’s been working late. He’s barely even made time to fuck me. I don’t know how he has so much restraint. I’ve spent every night in this big empty house touching myself, making myself come. But it is nothing like when Kade fucks me.
