“I’ll scream until someone comes to save me.”
“I’ve given the staff the day off,” I say, kicking off my shoes and socks.
“Celeste needs to be picked up from school.” She’s searching for a reason for me to let her go.
I just shake my head. “Lo is bringing her home.” She watches me carefully as I grab the edge of my T-shirt and pull it over my head. It drops to the floor in a pile, and my hands go for my jeans.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re going to talk.” I push my jeans down, leaving me in only my boxer briefs.
“Then why are you getting naked?” She tries so hard, but her eyes dip down to my cock for half a second as I walk over to the bed.
“Because when you finally listen to what I’ve got to say, you’re going to want me to fuck you. And baby…” I put a knee on the bed and move closer. “I’m aching to get inside you.”
She swallows hard as I crawl toward her, taking away all the distance between us.
“There’s nothing you can say, I mean, we don’t need to talk. You should just, you know.” She looks down at my cock that’s straining to break through my underwear. When she licks her lips, I don’t think she even realizes she did it. “I should go.”
I move over her as she flattens out on the bed and shake my head. “You’re not leaving.” I take her hands and pin them over her head. “You’ll lie here and listen to what I’ve got to say. Then you’ll let me make love to you.”
“Rory.” This time her voice cracks, and I see the worry in her eyes she’s always trying to hide.
“I wanted to know everything I could about you. That’s why I had someone look into your past. Maybe it was too much, but I’m not sorry. Finding out what you’d done?” I shrug. “That just sealed the deal for me.”
“Why?”
“Because I knew that there wasn’t anything you could have done that would make me stop loving you.”
“You don’t mean that.” She looks in my eyes, and I can see the tears in hers beginning to form.
“I do mean that, with every part of my soul. I’m never letting you go because I love you, Anna. I love you even if you've done things in the past you’re not proud of. I love you because you did what you had to do to get away from your horrible home life. I love you because you protected you and your daughter, no matter, the cost. I love you, and I will never, ever leave you.”
The tears fall from her eyes, and I lean down to kiss them away. She tries to blink until they’re gone, but they keep coming.
“I love you because every time I’m with you, I feel whole. I don’t care what you did before me. I know who you are inside. I know that your soul belongs with mine, and if you leave me, you’ll take it with you. I can’t let you do that, Anna.”
“Why?” she asks again, but this time it’s not curiosity, it’s that she needs to hear the words.
“You and Celeste are a part of my story, now and forever.” I brush my nose against hers and feel her body melt under me. “I’m sorry for all the things I did wrong, because I know I’ve fucked up. I’ve never done this before, and I don’t plan on doing it again. I’m only falling in love once, and that’s with you, baby.”
“I love you,” she says softly, and I close my eyes, savoring it.
“Now can I make love to you?” She nods just before I bring my lips down onto her. The fire between us burns bright as I pull off her clothes and move between her legs. “This first time is going to be quick; it’s been too damn long since I had your pussy.”
“Rory,” she moans, spreading her thighs, and I thrust into her warmth.
“Always so fucking tight,” I groan as I begin to thrust. “Goddamn it, don’t squeeze.” I close my eyes tight, fireworks sparking in my vision. She clenches around me again, and it’s all I can do not to cum right that second.
“Don’t stop.” She presses her feet against my ass, and I start to pump into her.
“I’m going to have to fuck you while I’m cumming.” I plant my knees on the mattress and begin to move. My cock swells, and it’s shameful how fast I go off. With a few quick strokes, I’m emptying into her, but I don’t stop. “Tell me,” I demand as I thrust harder this time, my release spreading all around where we’re joined.
“I love you,” she moans and arches her back.
I reach between us, and her clit is slippery as I rub my fingers across it. I don’t stop rutting into her as I pet it gently, feeling her body ready itself for her climax. Her head goes back, and her eyes squeeze shut as the flush of color spreads across her chest and to her breasts.
