Watching him sleep makes me feel so special. To see him at his most peaceful state, relaxed and worn out from sex with me, is surreal. Never did I think I would be in his bed. That first night I met him, all I could think about was not embarrassing myself. Now we are lying in bed together after a night full of pure emotions being unleashed. Making promises to each other about futures we both desperately want but were just too scared to dream of before now.
My alarm will surely be going off shortly as the faint glow in the sky gets stronger. We have a training session this morning with Lilly and Nat. It’s the last thing my body is looking forward to, although I get to see Xavier in one of those tank tops that make me drool at the sight of his arms. The arms I’m lying here wrapped in. Feeling so at home. While I continue to stare at his face, laying my hand on his heart so I can feel it beating, I start to wonder about why I woke with such a startle. Maybe I was dreaming and it wasn’t a nice dream. I bet if it was a dream then I wouldn’t have been snoring. A quiet little giggle slips out at that thought. We really do have some stupid conversations.
“Please tell me you aren’t giggling at my bed hair or there is something wrong with my dick this early in the morning?” Xavier mumbles as he starts to wake up.
“Morning.” I lean over and kiss him softly on the lips just to get another taste of him. I start to pull back, but he grabs me tight.
“Oh no, you don’t get away that easy.” He takes my lips in his and kisses me with passion and force. It’s the sort of kiss that you’d get at an airport when saying hello or goodbye to someone you love. A kiss that marks you, claims you for all to see and leaves you breathless.
“Now it’s a good morning, beautiful.” His eyes are sparkling like he is ready for the day. Now I know why he trains so early in the morning. He is one of those annoying morning people who wake early and is instantly awake and ready for the day.
I would normally be relying on the alarm but for some reason, I was wide awake this morning with a strange startle. Something isn’t sitting quite right with my sixth sense, but I just can’t work out what it is. I know the feeling has nothing to do with Xavier. He makes me feel the calmest I have ever been. All my nervousness around him has disappeared and has been replaced with excitement on where this might be headed. But there is something else that just isn’t quite right, and it hasn’t made itself known, yet. I need to push that out of my head and enjoy the first morning of waking up naked with my boyfriend in his bed. Even if it will be short-lived to get up and train.
“It’s a very early morning is all I can say, but you can wake me up with a kiss like that any morning you feel like,” I tell him as he is picking me up and laying me on top of his body, so we are touching from head to toes, little kisses being exchanged between us.
“There was one word wrong in that sentence.” I look at him confused.
“The word ‘any’ should have been ‘every.’ I can guarantee we will be waking up like this together every morning. No matter whose bed we are in, one thing I can guarantee is we will be in it together.” His voice dropped a little lower and gruffer as he said it. He is making sure I know what he wants.
“Really, we’ll see about that, won’t we? What if I get sick of you?” I smile like I’ve said something quite innocent. Knowing it will be enough to set him off. This is getting fun, poking the caveman with a big stick to see how he reacts.
“Not happening, babe. I told you, once we gave ourselves to each other I’m not letting you go. I wasn’t joking, cheeky lady.” With that, I’m flipped, and he is sitting straddling me. His cock proudly standing to attention as he runs his hands down my chest then up my sides. His fingers are just touching the skin, nothing heavy. As they skim over the lower part of my waist on my side, I can’t help but twitch at the sensation. Shit, I know what he’s doing. He’s trying to find my ticklish spot. The glint in his eyes tells me he has worked it out.
I’m already squirming trying to break free. It’s hopeless, he is bigger and stronger than me. So instead, I’m suffering, the laughing and tears running down my face as he cruelly won’t stop. That’s until I manage to have wiggled down the bed enough to lean forward and lick his cock. Admittedly, it’s a sloppy lick, but it has the desired effect. Stops him dead and has him staring at me with a deep burning look. He’s not sure how to proceed so I need to take the lead to get what I want.
Lifting my head off the bed and linking my arms around his waist, I swirl my tongue around the tip of his hardness that is already weeping. I lick the precum which makes him groan loudly and lean forward over the top of me so I lay back. I take his cock in my hand and direct it into my mouth and take as much as I can. He is so big, yet I want to be able to please him. Each time I take a little more. I can tell he is trying to restrain and let me take the lead with this.
I want to drive him insane and show him the pleasure he showed me last night. I want to be the woman he needs. Not some shy little girl. I can hear him breathing heavy and the sight of him over me looking down like the big bad wolf ready to eat me alive gives me a thrill. I am doing this to him, I’m making him want me so much, he is going to lose control. The power I hold right now is something I’ve never felt I wanted, but God, now that I have it, it’s so exhilarating.
I’m feeling greedy now and start to pump him with my hand while I suck him over and over again. His holding back has become too much and he starts to pump in and out with me until I see his face start to change and I know that look from last night. It’s powerful and sexy as hell as he lets go. Quivering and spasming inside my mouth as he comes so strong down my throat. I swallow several times trying to take it all. He is pulling out and I don’t want him to go. I dig my nails into his ass which makes him growl loudly.
“Fuck, Ally, where have you been hiding.” His strength always enables him to move me with ease. Something I have always felt so self-conscious about. He releases himself from my grasp and is on top of me, kissing and nipping me franticly. We are so in the moment that I hardly even hear the alarm going off. Xavier hits the phone and continues to devour me.
“Not stopping, I need to fuck you and hear you scream my name. So, when I see you bend over at the gym, I get to picture what I was doing to that pussy before you got there. I will be tasting you still on my lips, you sensual woman, while I watch the sweat run down between those sexy as fuck breasts.” With that, there is no holding back, he’s sheathed and pounding me hard, and I love every single minute until I can’t hold back and scream his name just like he asked.
How the hell am I going to be able to move, let alone do a workout?
He is killing me with scorching hot sex.
But what a way to go!
Chapter Twenty-Four
Dana
Watching is now our obsession. We need to know every movement both on and off the screen.
“Where are they, Bear? Can you see them yet?” He doesn’t reply for a minute.
“They are leaving the apartment now.” His voice is low and like he is grinding his teeth.
My Xavier is late leaving for work. He should have been driving out of the carpark fifteen minutes ago. Finally, his car appears coming out the driveway. Why the fuck is that slut in his car? He should have sent her home last night when he finished fucking her. She wasn’t even that good, so didn’t deserve a sleepover. When I get him in my bed, then he will know what it’s like to be fucked properly.
Another day closer until you’re mine and then you will never leave.
Xavier
I didn’t want to leave my bed.
I didn’t want to leave Ally naked in my bed.
I didn’t want to leave Ally naked in my shower.
Fuck, I didn’t want to leave home. Full stop.
What I do want, though, is to wrap her in my arms and stay there all day and forget work even exists. Last night and this morning is a feeling that is out of this world.
Now, how do I get that feeling with her every day and all night long?
Arriving at the gym, we both should have played it cool but there is no way I’m letting her hand go as we enter the building. She’s my girlfriend and they all need to get used to that. I’ve never shown any affection to a woman at work before, so they will all work out pretty quickly that Ally is not just some fling. The sooner they get it, the better. That way the flirty gym bunnies can back off and the macho men, as Ally calls them, can stop checking out her ass.
The training gear she has on today is going to make me struggle. Keeping my hands to myself and my dick at anything less than half-mast will be a stellar achievement. When she walked out of the bathroom after getting dressed, I stopped putting my shoes on and let out a little whistle. I couldn’t help it. It brought an instant smile to her face. I need to thank Lilly, apparently, for the helping hand with the new outfits. Mind you, my dick won’t be thanking her for making his morning harder. He should be lying down and sleeping. He worked hard last night keeping my woman happy. Shit, is this how delirious I am this morning, I’m now talking about my dick like he’s a person? I need to get a grip and get on with the day.
“Morning, love birds,” Lilly chirps as she dumps her drink bottle and towel next to the walking machines, stopping to kiss Ally on the cheek as she jumps on the one next to her.
Ally doesn’t deny it and just answers with a ‘Good morning’ which makes me happier than you would expect over a simple thing like acknowledging our relationship.
I can see Lilly is itching to ask Ally all the gossip but it’s a bit hard with me being right here. It’s funny to watch her try to steal a few seconds of whispers with her only for Ally to just laugh and swat her away. That’s something Ally is doing a lot more of now, laughing so carefree and relaxing with us all around.
I may have gone a little easy on the girls this morning. I know my baby’s muscles have got to be screaming at her by now. She won’t admit it because then she will have to explain to Lilly why and in front of Nat, too. So instead, she just sucks it up and grimaces through each exercise. I’ll make it up to her tonight with a nice massage. Oils, candles and me, her naked masseuse. Not sure she will make it through the whole massage, but hey, you’ve got to give a guy points for trying, right?
Our session is over, and the girls are cooling down and stretching with Nat. There is no way I’m letting her get out of here without saying goodbye properly. Dragging her to the office to check on her ‘future bookings,’ I close the door behind her and kiss every breath of air she had left out of her. We hold each other for a few minutes. I have to let her go to work, so I reluctantly let her go and we walk slowly back out to where Lilly is waiting with Nat.
“Have you finished sucking off my sisters face yet, big guy?” Lilly chuckles to herself as she hugs Nat goodbye and grabs Ally by the arm, dragging her to the car with her. I laugh as Ally looks back over her shoulder to give me one last smile to get me through until tonight.
“It looks like last night went well?” Nat knocked her shoulder into mine. I just smiled and nodded. I’m not talking about my love life with my sister, but she can tell by the permanent smile plastered on both mine and Ally’s face.
“Let’s just say, dessert was a hit.”
Nat puts her hand up to my face. “Stop, I don’t want to hear anymore.”
“Don’t worry, you weren’t going to. There is no way I’m sharing Ally with anyone, but especially not my sister.”
I’m quick to change the subject, for both our sakes. “Any more from Dana? Did she call you or send any more emails?” Nat just shakes her head no. “That’s weird. I thought for sure she would have called you after I didn’t call her back. Or at least another email. I don’t know if I should be happy or worried.”
“With her, who knows, but I’ve got a feeling it won’t be the last we see or hear from her. Anyway, let’s get on with the morning so we can get some breakfast at a decent time today.”
Nat starts to set up for our next client. We slotted someone else into Dana’s spot because we always have a cancellation list waiting. I wasn’t lying in the email that we are overbooked with clients. It’s the reason we are so keen to get our own gym happening.
A small part of me is worried Dana might just turn up anyway this morning, so I breathe a sigh of relief when her timeslot goes past without a hiccup. During my break in the middle of the day, I meet up with Kane to grab a quick bite to eat and fill him in on the Dana message from last night. He brings along his offsider that he is working with this week from the FBI. Although he complains he has to look after Rocco, it was good to get his perspective on Dana. He asks me plenty of questions and listens to what had happened so far. He seems only a little concerned but says to just keep our wits about us at all times and the same with Ally. That makes me feel really uncomfortable. I can look after myself, but I don’t want to scare or worry Ally. I just need to keep her close to me, which won’t be a problem. I don’t plan on letting her out of my sight when she’s not working. That part was already my plan before this discussion.
“Xavier, you can’t let this looney woman affect you. Just get on with everyday life and trying to impress your new girlfriend. Everything will be fine.” Kane puts his hand on my shoulder, giving it a little squeeze. “I’ve got your back, mate.” I know he’s not just saying it, he really means it.
“Thanks.”
“Now, what we all need is a big night out. I’m calling Ally to get this get-together happening with this Lilly you all talk about. A night of partying will relax you, Ally, and more importantly me. What do you say?” he says, standing up from his seat grinning like a Cheshire cat.
“I say you don’t give up easily, do you? I’ll talk to Ally tonight and call you. By the way, I don’t need partying to relax me, I’ve got my own remedy.” I’m out of my chair too, getting ready to head out.
“Famous last words of the man who is now already totally gone. Shackled with the ball and chain. All you need now is the ring and signed piece of paper.” He thinks he’s joking and making me feel uncomfortable, but I shock him.
“It will happen, mark my words on that.”
“Oh, boom! He has officially fallen. Another good man bites the dust. It was nice knowing you, man.” We both walk out of the café chuckling, with Rocco tagging along behind, shaking his head at the way we talk to each other. This is pretty tame, he should hear us when we really get going.
The rest of the day runs smooth and leads into another night of pleasure with my girl. Only this time, we are at her apartment and there is a little more sleep. Only a smidgen but we need to get some to recharge our strength
We plan a get-together in a week’s time on the Saturday night for everyone to meet. We decided to wait a week so Luke and Zoe will be back from their little trip away. Turns out, it is also the weekend after Jordan plays in town so he messaged saying he might stay for the rest of the weekend to catch up. Looks like our little get-together just got a little bigger.
Ally and I fall into a perfect routine of staying together every night, wherever we decide on the day. As much as I love her in my bed, I’ll sleep anywhere as long as she is in my arms. Our first weekend together, I want to meet her parents properly. If I plan on dating their daughter, it’s only right I let them get to know me and I get to know them. Ally decides just a short meeting will be better for the first one. She assures me it’s not about me, or us as a couple, but her mom is like Lilly, and once she knows I exist, then there will never be any peace until we are married with seven kids. Not sure I’m okay with the seven kids but marriage doesn’t make me flinch in the slightest. A few weeks ago, it would have given me a rash just thinking about committing to someone. Ally has changed all that in such a short time.
It’s now Sunday morning and after rising for a leisurely breakfast in bed, which involved more than just food, we are heading out to meet her parents for coffee. I’m desperate to have them like me; there are some little nerves happening but not anything I can’t manage. Holding Ally’s
hand as we walk down the sidewalk, I can tell she is really nervous. Her palms are sweaty, and she is quiet. For her, being quiet is a sure sign that she is feeling anxious so it’s up to me to put her mind at rest.
“Tell me one of your happiest memories with your mom and dad?”
She looks up at me with a grin. “That’s hard to answer. Only because I have so many it’s hard to choose.” I can see her face relax a little as she thinks of which one to share.
“There is this one memory that looking back now as an adult I see totally differently. I think I now know why the game was started as a distraction for us kids.” She lets out a little giggle. “We were all fairly young and had just got off the school bus. It was unusual that Dad’s truck was out front. He used to work such long hours. So, we all went running into the house to say hello. When we found Dad, he was running down the stairs looking like he had just got out of bed in the morning. He looked a little hot and bothered. Told us he had a big day at work, so he had come home to play with us all. Pretty sure he had been ‘playing with mom’ which is a vision now I don’t need. He then let us all get into our swimmers and get in the pool instead of doing our chores and homework. We played all afternoon until dark, the whole family including Mom. Then we went and got burgers and chips with ice cream for dessert. It was just a simple thing but times like that, where we were all together as a family and happy, are the memories I like to remember. Whatever they had been up to when we got there, it sure put Dad in a good mood. I imagine trying to find time with your wife on your own would be damn hard with five kids around.”
