Matchmaker Backfire

Balls deep inside my beautiful woman, I feel her shudder under my own climax as she quivers against my cock, gasping my name and trying to tell me to keep fucking her still.

“Fuck me, Carter… Keep fucking me…” she begs me, and I do. I make love to her from behind and facing me. On the bench, the table, and finally the stairs as I try to get her to her bath, which I suspect is overflowing by now.

But I don’t care.

Finally, I know she’s spent, and I know I’ve given my girl everything I can and more. She’s come for me, on me and with me.

I’m the happiest man alive as I pick her up, carrying her upstairs for her bath as promised.

It has overflowed, but the drain catches it, making the water just right after our lovemaking.

I let a little water out of the tub and tell Serena to soak while I clean up and get some dinner ready, which she readily agrees to.

But another sudden sound makes us both freeze on the spot.

Brings a fearful look into her eyes and makes me close my own for a moment.

Realizing it had to happen sooner or later.

I almost half hope it’s that damned neighbor again, but no.

“Serena? Honey?”

The sound of the front door unlocking and closing followed by Greg’s cautious voice tells us both that the one thing we’d hoped to put off has come to meet us head on instead.

I hear Greg curse once he sees the kitchen, everything swiped off it as he calls out for his only daughter again.

Serena shivers, terrified as we both hear her dad going from room to room downstairs, probably fearing something far worse than he’s about to discover.

Or maybe not.

I grab a robe off the back of the bathroom door, one of Greg’s by the size but I’d rather that than nothing.

“What are we gonna do?” Serena hisses, covering herself as I kneel down beside the bath.

“Tell me you’ll marry me?” I ask her, knowing it’s all that matters to me now.

To have her forever, not just for a day or two.

“Tell me you’ll be the mother of our children; that I can take you away from this and give you everything we’ve had in two days everyday… for the rest of our lives.”

Her eyes are wide with a new kind of excitement.

Suddenly unafraid, I feel us both reaching out for one another on the only level we’d be happy with.

“I love you, Serena. And I want you to be my wife,” I tell her again, hearing her squeak with emotion before she can reply.

Before the sound of her dad pounding on the bathroom door interrupts us.

I kiss her, begging her with my eyes to hold that thought as I slip into her room through the other door in the bathroom.

“I’m in the bath dad,” she calls out, making some deliberate splashing sounds as I close her bedroom door behind me, determined to take care of this whole situation man to man.

“Honey?” Greg says again, louder, his voice trembling with a new element I understand better once I come out of Serena’s room and meet him on the landing in front of the bathroom.

He’s mad as hell.

His hands are fists and he barely looks me up and down once before coming at me swinging.

I let him have one good, solid hit before I use my own strength to slow him down, holding his arms like he’s a child as he starts to moan and bawl, crying and calling me every name under the sun.

“Easy, Greg. Easy,” I try and tell him, but he’s so wound up it takes a while for him to yield to my hands over his.

I can hear Serena shrieking from the bathroom, leaping from the tub, and crying out in pain as she no doubt hurts her ankle all over again, but I have to deal with her dad first.

My oldest, my one true friend.

“The Lodge called me… then our neighbor when I was about to land,” he sobs, wiping his nose with his hand before trying to come at me again.

“How could you! You fuckin’ bastard. We’re like brothers, a lifetime of trust and this is how you repay me!” he screams, calling out for Serena again.

I don’t have the words for him, not yet.

But I do feel his pain. The trouble is it’s nothing compared to the love I feel for his only daughter.

The woman I’ve claimed and asked to marry me.

I hold him back until he collapses into my arms, weeping and sobbing, still calling me the worst names but admitting he knew it himself.

It was so obvious once he saw Serena and me together.

Almost like it was destined to happen.

Because I believe it was too. We all do.

We all knew it was coming, I just wish…
