The Company You Keep

I’m out on the road back to the house with her hand in mine as I drive to our home. “From now on, Piper, you’re going to live with me. I don’t know what’s going on with your friend from Iowa, but I’m not letting you two share an apartment.”

“I can’t believe he left me.”

“That’s because I told him I was taking you home. He gave me the hope I needed to finally take what was mine. The thought of you two together nearly set me into a violent rage.”

“You were pretty upset when I mentioned a date,” she reminds me.

“Pretty upset is putting it mildly. Your friend saw me stalking you outside your apartment.”

“Oh my God. That’s why he kept staring out the window. I asked him, and he played it off.”

“Well, I had no idea he was up there, or I would have busted down your door and carried you out over my shoulder.”

“Caveman.”

“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” I warn her. She smiles then closes her eyes and rests her head back on the headrest while I drive. It’s strange how calm the night is even though chaos erupted at the office. I try not to think about what could have happened tonight. Instead, I have my future wife with me. I rub my thumb over the back of her hand slowly and tenderly.

I finally pull off the main road and down to my house. It’s a large gated house that I used to share with my sister until she married Rob. I think another New Year’s wedding sounds really fucking good.

“Holy shit, I didn’t realize that you lived here.”

“Why? Have you passed by this way?”

“Never. It’s just a huge estate.”

“It’s not as big as my sister’s house, but I love it, and it’s enough for all our babies with room for an extension or a small house added in the acreage.” I read out the code to the alarm for her.

“My birthday?” she asks as we drive through the open gate. I pull into the heated garage and lower the door before I get out. I put my hand out to stop her from getting out. I run around and open it for her. “My birthday?” she repeats.

I cup her face and confess how crazy I am. “I told you I love you so much. I’m fucking passed obsessed it’s ridiculous.”

“I love it.”

“I hope so, or you’ll have to learn to get used to it,” I add. I lead her into the house which isn’t too spectacular from the garage, but once we step around the long hallway and into the foyer her eyes widen.

“It’s going to take some time to get used to this.”

“You have forever, baby. Now kiss me before I take you on a tour of your new home.” She wraps her arms around my neck and complies, kissing me softly before trying to pull away. “Not so fast,” I growl.

I drag her mouth to mine, kissing her breathless. “You’re fucking delicious. I don’t know if I’ll ever get enough. I’m perpetually hungry for you.”

“Then how about you give me a tour of the bedroom. I’ve been waiting for that for many, many months,” she admits, and I don’t take a moment to think. She’s in my arms as I rush up the stairs like it’s a fucking race. It’s like she’s opened the floodgates and there’s no way to stop it until I come deep into her.

Chapter 10

Piper

I find myself on the bed completely naked before I have a chance to feel nervous. He stares as if he’s never seen something so wonderful. “You’re beautiful and too damn sexy. I love you, Piper. I’m going to my best to make you come hard for me, but I’ve waited so damn long to have you in my bed that I don’t know if I can hold out,” James confesses as he takes off his shirt and kicks off his shoes. His muscles in his arms flex as he grabs his belt. Hell, that is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen. For months I would stare at his forearms when he would roll up his sleeves.

I lean on my elbows and watch in amazement. This is new, but it’s been coming for so long. I’ve spent nights thinking about his body on me, doing dirty things that I can’t even admit fantasizing about.

“I need to possess you in every damn way, Piper.” He drops his boxers and tugs off his socks. His big cock points toward me as me moves to the bed. He takes his time running his hands over my skin before he climbs in between my legs. Our mouths meet for a passionate kiss, and I’m about to come for him again. “I want to fill your womb with my cum, but right now, I have to taste your sweet pussy.” He kisses down my body, and I freeze because I’ve never done this.
