" I really need to get home to Ethan, I'm sure he's driving my dad crazy by now", Claire said, a regretful smile on her face.
Henry nodded, " Right. No, I'm fine, give Ethan a hug for me", he said giving her a small tired smile.
Claire watched him for a moment. " You want to come and stay with me for the night?"
Henry's eyebrows shot up, " Really?", he asked hopefully.
Claire smiled, " Really, I would feel better knowing that I would be there to take care of you too"
Henry smiled, " Seems like that's all you do, take care of me"
Claire shrugged.
" Okay, let me just go grab some stuff", Henry said, turning the TV off. He held out a hand for Claire to help him off the couch.
Claire took his hand and pulled him up. Henry grunted as he pulled up into a sitting position. He took a moment before getting to his feet. Claire waited while Henry repacked his bag with clean clothes. When he was ready, they headed to Claire's apartment.
It was around 8:30pm when they got to Claire's apartment. She unlocked the door and walked in with Henry right behind her. Her dad was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He looked up when the door opened. He smiled at her before his eyes flicked to look at Henry. Frank's smile widened slightly as he got up from the couch.
" Henry, you've been freed?", Frank teased as he shook Henry's hand.
Henry chuckled, " Yeah, thank god"
Frank's gaze landed on the bag in Henry's hand. " You staying?"
Henry nodded, " Claire wanted to be with Ethan, but she wants to make sure I'm taken care of too"
Claire's dad turned his warm, loving gaze on her. " That's my Claire with her heart of gold"
Claire flushed, " Dad", she whined, embarrassed.
Frank chuckled, " Ethan's sleeping, I'll head out, get out of your hair", he said, giving Claire a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Frank then gave Henry a hug and a pat on the cheek before heading out the door.
" My dad really likes you", Claire grinned.
Henry smiled, " That's a good thing"
Claire nodded, " It is"
They stared at each other for a moment. They still hadn't talked about what this thing was between them. The kiss they shared had been amazing but it was brought on by strong emotions. Did Henry actually want a relationship with her? He hadn't given her any signs that he did.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Henry dropped his bag, closed the distance between them with a couple steps, grabbed her head and kissed her hard. Claire let out a shocked little squeak as she grabbed onto his t-shirt so she didn't loose her balance. Henry nipped at her bottom lip, letting her know he wanted in. Claire complied, parting her lips for him. Henry dove in, claiming her mouth with his.
Henry moved forward, backing Claire up until she bumped into her dinning room table. Their kiss was hot, needy, passionate and desperate. Henry grabbed Claire by her hips and lifted her onto the table. He then nudged her knees apart and pressed himself between her legs. Claire could feel the hard hot ridge of Henry's erection pressing against her core and she couldn't help but moan. Claire clung to Henry's shoulders as he bent her over the table until she was laying on it. She wrapped her legs around his hips. Henry drug his mouth down to her neck. He curled his hips forward, rubbing his erection against her. A groan escaped him.
" Henry", Claire panted, " Are you sure you're up for this?"
Henry ground his erection against her again, " What do you think?", he rasped.
Claire smiled then gasped when Henry's big hot hand slid under her shirt to cup her breast. His thumb brushed over her nipple causing her to arch up. He brought his mouth back up and kissed her again.
" You have...no idea...how long...I've wanted this", Henry murmured between kisses.
Claire moaned in response. She did know, because she was sure she had wanted it just as long.
Henry moved to pull her shirt off but then Claire remembered, " Oh Henry, hold on"
Henry froze, " What?", he asked, pulling back to look at her.
" We need to move to the bedroom, I don't want Ethan walking out here and getting an eyeful"
Henry smiled, " Yeah, that would be bad"
Henry straightened, pulling her up with him. Claire caught the wince that he tried to hide. She opened her mouth to suggest they wait but Henry shot her a look that told her not to argue, he wasn't going to change his mind. So Claire took Henry's hand and led him to her bedroom, where she shut and locked the door.
Henry grabbed Claire around the waist and pulled her up against him. He leaned down and kissed her. God he loved kissing her. He threaded his fingers through her silky hair and cupped the back of her head. Claire slipped her hands under his t-shirt then slid them around and down the back of his sweatpants. He wasn't wearing any underwear and she let out a surprised little noise when she realized that. She gave his ass a squeeze, making him smile against her mouth.
Claire yanked Henry's t-shirt over his head. He still had the binding around his ribs. The room was dark but he could see her frown as she looked at it. Her hands drifted over his chest and down over the binding to his abs. Half of his cock was popping out over the top of his sweatpants. He wasn't small, or even average for that matter and a pair of sweatpants with no underwear would not contain him. The tip of him reached his navel. He's had a couple women refuse to have sex with him because they were afraid that it would hurt.
Claire looked down at him then her eyes flew up to meet his. They were wide and her mouth was gaping open in shock. " Henry! You're huge!"
Henry laughed. He couldn't help it, her face was hilarious. " Is that going to be a problem?", he asked, praying that it wasn't.
" Um no, but damn!", Claire exclaimed, looking down at him again. She then pushed his sweatpants down until they pooled at his feet. " Wow", she breathed, wrapping a hand around him.
Henry closed his eyes and let her touch him. He hadn't been with a woman since he met Claire, and that was about 4 months ago. That was a long time for him to go without sex. He felt ready to explode. But he hadn't wanted anyone else, only Claire. Henry pulled her hand off and pushed her onto the bed. He kicked his sweatpants away then moved to stand in front of her.
" Take your clothes off", he demanded, taking himself in hand and stroking slowly.
Claire's eyes locked onto what he was doing as she quickly undressed. Henry's breath caught when she was finally naked. Shit, she was stunning. Her breasts were large with a light pink nipple that he had always found attractive on women. Her stomach was flat and toned. Her hips flared slightly. And she was completely bare between her legs. It took everything Henry had not to come right then and there.
" Fuck Claire, you're gorgeous", He said hoarsely.
Her eyes flicked up to his, " So are you", Henry smiled.
" We're gonna need to go slow Henry, I haven't had sex in almost three years", she whispered, sounding a bit embarrassed.
Henry's mouth dropped open. " You haven't had sex in three years?"
Claire shook her head and bit her lip, " No, other then Zack, I really haven't even dated anyone, I've been so focused on Ethan that men weren't a priority"
Henry was stunned. But damn, that made him feel unbelievably good. He moved closer and bent over her, kissing her soundly before saying, " We'll go slow and I will make sure you're ready", he whispered against her lips as he slipped his hand between them, his fingers finding her already wet.
Claire's breath caught and her eyes closed when Henry touched her. Her legs fell open, giving Henry better access. He slipped a finger inside of her before sliding it up to her clit. He drew circles around the little nub, making Claire gasp and moan. The sounds coming out of her were making him ache to be inside of her. But three years without sex and him being as big as he was, she needed to come a couple times before he could try to enter her.
Henry worked her clit with his fingers. She came incredibly fast, which made Henry smile. He then kissed his way down he
r body while she was still coming down from her orgasm. Henry knelt on the floor beside the bed and grabbed her hips, pulling her to the edge. He then pushed her legs apart and lowered his mouth to her. Claire cried out and grabbed his hair. He didn't know whether she wanted to push him away or pull him closer. Claire moaned and panted and undulated under his mouth. She tasted like heaven. She was so beautiful and his heart was ready to burst with the love that was overwhelming him. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. And he was going to tell her tonight. He was going to make sure she felt every ounce of his love for her.
Claire's grip on his hair tightened and she cried out his name as she came hard. Henry lifted his head and smiled when her hands fell limply to the bed. Her chest was heaving, thrusting her breasts up. Henry moved up her body. He wrapped an arm around her waist and drug her farther onto the bed. His ribs protested slightly but he ignored it. Nothing was going to stop him from making love to Claire.
That's when Henry remembered, " Shit", he bit out.
" What?", Claire panted.
" Condoms, I don't have any, do you?", Henry asked.
" No, but I'm on the pill", Claire said.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to make love to her and that almost didn't happen. Henry settled on top of her, his hips wedged between hers. He reached down between them and positioned himself at her opening. He waited until Claire opened her eyes and looked at him.
" Ready?", Henry asked.
Claire nodded, " Yes, I want you so bad", she whispered.
" God, I want you too", Henry groaned then gathered her up in his arms as he started to push his way in.
Henry stared down at her while he worked his way inside of her. She was so tight. So tight. They were both gasping by the time he was fully sheathed. Henry dropped his forehead to Claire's shoulder and took a few deep breaths.
" You okay?", Claire breathed.
" Don't move or this will be over before I even get started", Henry grunted.
" Okay"
Henry got himself under control so that he could start moving. He pulled back slowly before thrusting forward. Claire let out a low moan. Henry started off slow but then picked up the pace. He pushed up onto his hands so that he could look down at the gorgeous woman under him. Her breasts bouncing with each thrust, her flushed cheeks, the look of ecstasy on her face. Henry looked down to watch himself gliding into her but had to stop or he was going to loose it.
Claire reached up and grabbed the back of his neck to pull him down. She kissed him hard, smothering a scream that ripped up her throat as she started to convulse around him. Henry couldn't fight it any longer, with a few final thrusts, he came, almost passing out from the intensity of it. He collapsed on top of Claire but kept his weight on his forearms so he didn't crush her. He buried his face in her neck while he tried to calm his racing heart. That had been the best sex he's ever had. Henry lifted his head to look down at Claire. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted.
Henry brushed a piece of hair off her face and kissed her softly. " I love you Claire", he said, his lips brushing hers.
Claire opened her eyes and smiled, then she kissed him tenderly and whispered, " I love you too Henry"
Henry smiled against her mouth before kissing her again, this time like his life depended on it.
Chapter 12
Henry woke to the smell of bacon and his ribs aching. He just might have over did it last night. He made love to Claire three times last night and it was totally worth going through a little pain this morning. She was incredible. Sexy and sensual. The sounds she made, shit, just thinking about it made him hard.
Henry rolled out of bed and grabbed his sweatpants off the floor. After yanking them on, he put his t-shirt back on. No doubt Ethan was up. Henry didn't want Ethan to see his battered ribs. Henry then saw his bag sitting in front of the dresser, Claire must have brought it into the bedroom this morning. He went over and grabbed his toiletry bag, which had his pain meds and toothbrush then he headed down the hall to the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth and going to the bathroom, he took one of his Percocet's to ease the pain in his ribs. Leaving his bag in the bathroom he shuffled into the living room where Ethan was watching Yo Gabba Gabba. Beyond the living room was the kitchen where Claire had her back to him where she stood at the stove. Henry smiled. This felt so right.
Walking up behind the couch, Henry bent down and gave Ethan a kiss on the top of his head. Ethan look up at him and smiled before looking back at the TV. Henry was no match for Muno and Brobee.
Henry moved into the kitchen where he sidled up behind Claire and wrapped his arms around her waist. He nuzzled his face into the side of her neck, making her giggle and squirm because he was tickling her. Damn, it felt good to be able to touch her like this. Whenever he wanted.
" Morning, love", Henry murmured, kissing her cheek.
" Morning", She smiled, turning her head for a kiss on the lips.
" How you feeling?", Henry asked.
" A little sore", Claire admitted, " But I'll be fine, I've just been out of the game for too long"
Henry chuckled and gave her a squeeze before going over to the Kuerig and picking out a dark roast from the carousel next to it.
" How are your ribs?", Claire asked, sending him a concerned glance over her shoulder.
" Achy, I just took a Percocet", Henry replied as he went to grab the creamer from the fridge.
Claire nodded and turned back to the bacon and eggs that she was cooking. Henry fixed his coffee the way he liked then turned and leaned back against the counter. He took a sip of his coffee, watching Claire over the rim of his mug. He felt so blessed to be here with her and Ethan. So lucky to have the chance to be a part of their life.
When the food was ready, the three of them sat at the table to eat. Ethan sat in his booster seat across from Henry. Claire put scrambled eggs on Ethan's plate before scooping some onto Henry's and then her own.
" So are you going to tell me what happened with your mother yesterday?", Claire asked before crunching down on a piece of bacon. She looked gorgeous in the morning. No makeup, strawberry blonde hair up high in a messy bun, sweatpants and a t-shirt.
Henry sighed and poked at his eggs, " Sebastian totally freaked on her, told her to stay out of our lives. He was livid. I've never seen him that angry before", he said quietly.
Claire watched him warily, " What did you say?"
" I agreed with him", Henry snorted. " I need a break from all her sh...stuff. She said some nasty things about you and blamed my defense of you on the drugs"
" I can't understand why she doesn't like me", Claire huffed.
" It's not you, it's her. She doesn't like any women getting close to us. She thinks she'll lose us somehow if we're with someone"
" Well she lost you anyway", Claire murmured.
" Yeah, for now. I'm hoping she sees the error of her ways and apologizes", Henry said, taking a sip of his coffee.
Claire snorted, " Don't count on it, your mom seems pretty stubborn"
Henry nodded, " Oh she is, but I'm sure my dad is going to flip on her too, get her to think for once"
They talked a little more about Henry's mother, then moved on about work. They both decided it would be best to keep their relationship quiet at work. It would only complicate things for Henry when it came to having respect from his employees. They already had enough rumors going around about them, but they were just that, rumors. No one had any hard evidence and they weren't about to give it to them. So come Monday morning, they were going to go into work and act like they always did around each other. Friendly and professional.
Henry sighed as he sat behind his desk Monday morning. It felt good to be back. He hated being out of work. His whole routine had been screwed up. He needed to get back to business. Get back on his schedule. His ribs were feeling much better and he was even able to take the binding off. It was starting to bother him anyway. Everyone had been really nice
when he walked in also. Asking him how he was and telling him they were glad he was okay and back.
A knock on his door almost had him groaning out loud. Already it was starting. But when the door opened and Claire walked in, his irritation fled. He smiled brightly at the gorgeous woman sauntering into his office with a coffee and bag of food in hand. Claire looked great this morning. She was wearing a modest but sexy royal blue dress that made her eyes pop. Her strawberry blonde hair was pulled to the side and a loose braid hung over her shoulder to touch the top of her breast. Thank god he was sitting behind his desk because his cock was liking the way she looked today. Well, everyday for that matter.
" Good morning Henry", Claire smiled gently, stopping in front of his desk to place his coffee and most likely a sausage, egg and cheese on an plain bagel, down.
