Chapter 22
Sophie had enjoyed her shower she used his favourite coconut and vanilla scented shampoo, she had ex foliated her bronzed body attended to her body hair so she was totally de fuzzed. She then dried her hair taking care not to disturb the curls, applied some dark liner to her eyelids and mascara to add length to her already thick lashes, glossed her lips then moisturised every inch of her skin. The candles in the bedroom were all lit as their light was kinder on her scars, faded though they were. She lay out all her new underwear and lingerie, she had spent a fortune today but she could afford it so it was a treat, they had measured her today and she was the subject of a lot of oohs and aahs as the shop assistant had told her rather enviously that she was now a 32 EE two cup sizes bigger than before, the shop assistant had lots of fun bringing her lots of sexy items to try on. She selected a cream corset that had a balconette top underwired and had to be laced up she had shown her how to twist it round so she could tighten it herself, it was a struggle and she had to clip her hair up to get at it but she knew Marcus would love taking it off again, he had put music on downstairs Michael Buble was her favourite and she was enjoying herself now. Lace briefs next and then sheer stockings that let her natural skin colour shine through added to the look, she slipped a sheer navy silk robe over the top let her hair down again shook it out and slipped on her favourite Laboutin cream stiletto's. Sophie looked in the mirror wow she was hot she felt wonderful she couldn't wait to show him so she sent him a short text. “I need a glass of wine “she heard him rattle in the cupboard for a glass and then he turned the music up a little, her heart was hammering in her chest, should she be sat on the bed? Lay down? Stood up? She was all nervous and felt like a virgin on her wedding night, she settled for sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed showing off her legs and her breasts automatically lifted and looked like they were overflowing.
Marcus hesitated then pushed the door open with his foot the sight that greeted him did three things instantly first stopped him in his tracks, then made him spill some of the wine and also gave him the biggest hard on he had ever experienced. “baby you are the most stunning thing I have ever seen I can't believe I get to touch you and make love to you, as you can probably tell” he walked over to the bed side table and put down the wine. Marched back and kicked the door shut then stripped naked before her, “see what you do to me baby I am so ready for you” Sophie watched him strip and when she saw his erection she nearly choked he seemed to have expanded somewhat since its last outing, she licked her lips as he walked towards her. Marcus stood in front of her, he removed her robe then pulled her to her feet to examine the corset she was wearing, it pushed up her stupendous breasts and sucked in her waist he spun her round and growled as he saw the laces that went from the top all the way down where her ass curved out beneath and then he noticed the suspender straps attached “oh angel first I am going to fuck you with this on then I am going to take it off and do it all over again” she shivered parting her legs and pushing her behind against him so she could feel his length against her crease she wriggled provocatively on him and he pulled her shoulders back to reach around and lift her breasts out of the cups he nibbled at her ear as he stroked her nipples until they were taught then pinched them as she moaned, he lifted her hair and kissed and sucked at her neck continuing the assault on her breasts, he moved his hands down to her waist tracing the curve to her hips he slid down and grasped the panties as he peeled them off her he kissed and nipped her thighs and then her calves, she stepped out of the pants and he rose up pulled her back towards him by her hips pushing her torso so she fell forwards hands on the bed her ass was facing him and he ran his fingers down her crease towards her pussy, she was writhing and moaning as he touched her sensitive clit then he groaned as he felt her wetness and slid his finger gently in to her warm tight depths she pushed back against him forcing more of his finger in so he pulled back and added two more she was now frantic with desire and the pressure built inside her his fingers plunged deeper and he used his other hand to massage her clitoris she was panting hard and rocking her hips to his rhythm she was readying herself when he suddenly withdrew his fingers and replaced them with his cock “aarrggh oh yes that is so good oh god Marcus please fuck me hard please now “ he needed no encouragement , he pushed his entire length as far as he could go and pulled her to him so he was completely buried in her, he stopped as it felt so wonderful to be so joined to her like they were as one but Sophie was having none of it she drew herself away then rammed herself on him shouting for him to go faster harder. The pace was increasing and Sophie knew her arms would give way any second but he ploughed into her forcing her forward the pressure built again then it lifted and she felt her orgasm like never before she felt light headed as he released himself into her she could feel him spurting inside her and as he withdrew she got small aftershocks and trembled his knees weakened and he pulled her down to the floor with him she ended up sat in his lap” oh that was worth waiting for “ she was totally worn out and pulled herself onto the bed on her back, Marcus knelt between her legs and unfastened her stockings peeling them off her glorious legs, he kissed his way to her warmth and nuzzled her inhaling her he loved the fact he had now claimed her again, she was his once more, he was now ready for round two.
Sophie was just recovering when she was aware of another sensation that had her gasping she looked down at Marcus face buried between her thighs he was lapping at her and sucking her nibbling her swollen skin, the feeling was almost too much for her and she screamed out as his tongue licked her inside thrusting then into her depths she came again immediately gasping for breath arching her back off the bed, she was flipped onto her stomach and she felt him undoing the laces on her corset she could also tell his erection was back as it was prodding her thighs, the tiredness left her and she now wanted him again she moaned as he licked his way up the back of her legs and then up her back peeling away the corset and releasing her body from the tightness, he turned her over and lifted away the underwear he had enjoyed himself thoroughly ”that was the best Christmas present I ever had” he said and he crawled onto the bed next to her, their mouths met lips soft tongues circling each other, Michael buble was singing about home and that was where Marcus was now with Sophie, they kissed for a long time savouring each other he raised himself above her mouth still firmly locked on hers lifted her leg over his hip and slipped the tip of his penis inside just a little, Sophie wrapped her other leg around him to encourage him in deeper and then they made slow and sensual love together whispering each other’s name slow gentle thrusts that melted her inside eyes locked as their orgasms came and kissed through the pleasure groaning into each other’s mouths, they fell asleep exhausted, satisfied wrapped around each other and totally fulfilled.
Chapter 23 It was moving day the cottage had been packed up all their things removed and taken by Samuel back to the house, Marcus was loading the last few bits into his Cayenne and Sophie was going to be following in her car she was to lock up and put the key back under the plant as instructed, Marcus walked back in to check it over for any left items, “I will follow you in five,” Sophie told him I just want a minute to say goodbye” Marcus kissed her and left her alone he knew she had grown attached to the cottage and wanted to say goodbye properly, he hoped she was still happy about going home, he wanted to be there before her to give her the grand tour so he drove off. Sophie felt quite tearful, last night had been wonderful their lovemaking was so better than ever thanks to their time in France they knew how to give each other pleasure and they didn’t get much sleep at all, that would have to stop next week as Monday her first lot of accounts were arriving via email from John, so they may have to curtail their activities by a couple of hours or she wouldn't be able to function. Sophie looked at her view for the last time and said a little thank you for the time she had been here she felt had safe apart from the night she received Jaspers note that is, but that was the only black spot on a perfect stay, s
he reluctantly pulled the door behind her and drove away a few tears but then excitement, she was getting engaged tonight and she was excited to see everyone, Barbee and Don, Beatrice and Henry, Charlotte and Sam, her mum and she had also asked Sally and her husband. Sally had become a really close friend and they spoke to each other regularly of course Duncan would be there whom she hadn't seen since that awful night at the hospital, but Marcus and he were on excellent terms since then and the work he had done on the summer house was apparently fantastic, I was pleased Duncan had sorted himself out the money he got from Jasper paid off some old debts from his drug days and he was now financially secure and had found love at last with Louisa the architect who had done all the designs for the house she was accompanying him tonight.
The gates at the house were open she also noticed for the first time a name plate adorning the pillar “The Gables” she didn't know the house had a name she liked it, it sounded grand. Marcus and Duncan were waiting for her along with a stunning brunette who was holding Duncan’s hand Louisa she presumed, she got out and Duncan cautiously held his hand out to her so she leant in and hugged him warmly, then she turned to the brunette and smiled at her, she seemed timid but she was stunning to look at jet black shoulder length straight hair she was wasp thin but had an athletic build she looked like she took exercise very seriously, she shook her hand and they smiled warmly at each other instantly “I’m Louisa I drew the plans for the new build and I am hoping you will let me tag along when you see it all for the first time I am dying to know if I got it right for you” Sophie nodded enthusiastically “of course you can and I can't wait to see what you have both done” Duncan looked extremely happy they had hit it off straight away and his face had lost its tension, he was actually a good looking man, he had put some weight on and had been working out he looked agile and fit, he had a mop of blonde hair so opposite to his bothers chocolate brown locks, they were almost the same height and if they walked in to a bar together would certainly turn heads. Sophie linked Marcus arm “come on then give me the tour I can tell you are desperate you are hopping around like a five year old. He grinned and the four of them wandered down towards the old boathouse, as they got closer Sophie felt her heart beat increase and she started to feel a bit light headed a few steps later she was shaking uncontrollably “ baby lets get you back to the house you aren't ready yet look at you” Louisa rubbed her free arm “Sophie are you OK” Duncan looked worried, she had to pull herself together “no I need to do this” Sophie hooked her other arm through Louisa's and they continued down the path, she could see the crop of trees that Jasper had come out from and her knees started to shake she saw stars in front of her vision the bells ringing in her ears and then blackness.
“she should be awake by now bro should I go back to the house and get help” Sophie opened her eyes as she realised she must be inside the new summer house she was sat on Marcus knee, he was staring down at her frantic with worry “it’s fine honestly I am feeling a bit better I am so sorry guys how embarrassing” Duncan kissed her head and Louisa squeezed her hand, Marcus was holding her in his arms his strength was keeping her together, she took in her surroundings they were sat in what felt like a living area she noticed a small kitchen area complete with her coffee machine from the cottage and her mugs, and there was a spiral staircase leading to some kind of mezzanine, she stood up gingerly “Marcus its stunning what’s up the stairs?” he took her hand and led her slowly up the spiral stairs they were solid oak with steel rails they were gorgeous, at the top was a room that looked like an office it had a beautiful oak desk complete with apple mac lap top a wireless printer and leather chair. The desk was in placed under the window with a view over the water and around the walls were prints of the photo's they took in France their beach and one of her asleep on the sun lounger. “is this for me?” she asked “yes Sophie this is to be your office you can put your mark on this spot that once almost took your life, I am giving it to you for you to claim it back.” Sophie sat down at the desk and looked out over the straits Duncan and Louisa had followed them up and were watching her expectantly. “I absolutely love it all of you Louisa you are an artist, Duncan you are a craftsman Marcus you are amazing, she jumped up and kissed all of them in turn, they went down the stairs euphoric, she looked around the downstairs and loved it all, no hint of the former boat house remained it was a fresh slate and Sophie wanted to make it work for her. Tour over they went back outside and locked the door behind them, she noticed CCTV cameras placed outside the doors overlooking the small jetty. She thought they would go back to the house but Marcus was leading her in the opposite direction, “we will meet you two back at the house” he said to his brother. Sophie had no idea where they were headed, all that was beyond those trees was a few acres of grazing pasture, when they walked out of the shade Marcus took her towards the boundary fence and pointed up the hill towards a stable block, “we own these fields and the stable block has just been completed for its new inhabitants and he then pointed to the other end of the field and she saw two horses, Sophie squealed “Alice?” “yes honey Alice and her new friend Jewell” Charlotte brought them over yesterday we have Alice on loan as the owner is too old to enjoy her now, Charlottes younger sister who you have seen at the stables is going to be our stable girl, so we can ride whenever we like but someone else gets to do the day to day care” Sophie was practically bouncing “oh Marcus that is amazing I can't wait to take her out for a ride on all your land we can have a race” she grabbed him and kissed him he returned the kiss eagerly they were both out of breath after and Marcus was tempted to drag her back to the summerhouse and christen it but he knew they had to get ready for tonight’s party and the family would start arriving in the next couple of hours or so. They walked back slowly arm in arm Sophie’s earlier panic attack a distant memory, she looked back to the summer house and the place now looked so different and she felt so in control she would use her new office with pleasure, as for Alice she couldn't wait to get back in the saddle it had been too long, and the rate she was putting away food she really needed to start burning some of it off. She was very excited to wear her new dress tonight too she practically skipped back to the house Marcus was glowing with happiness, tonight was the night he officially made her his bride to be.
Chapter 24 September The house looked transformed all the interiors had all been freshly painted, new furnishings everywhere and a lovely new reclining leather sofa in the living area, it all looked beautiful different shades of blues and aquamarine, with accents of white giving the whole downstairs a nautical type theme with bold striped drapes either side of the large windows. “Do you like it?” Marcus was keen to get her reaction, the house had been unloved for years and since he had found the woman to share it with him he wanted to breathe life into the place and also give them a fresh start. “Its stunning Marcus I would have decorated it exactly the same way you have done it looks fabulous” she gushed over all the furnishings and the white washed wood floor. “not me baby Louisa had her brother designed it all for me he is fabulous he does interior design but also wedding planning I thought maybe he could help us with ours, I haven't mentioned it for obvious reasons but I have asked him to join us tonight so you can meet him, he is quite a character, Bruno he's called I will introduce you later, your mum and my parents are already here, mums overseeing the food and meddling in the dining room, dad is waiting for us in the office with your mum she is going over all the media and press coverage that we have missed while in France” “can we join them I would like to see what’s been happening” Sophie touched his arm gently “yes of course baby if you think you are up to it” She smiled and nodded, she had noticed a few journalists outside the gates people knew they were back now so there would be some interest again.
Diane greeted her daughter with a warm hug “Sophie you look amazing so curvy wow what a difference a couple of weeks in France has made, Marcus thank you for taking such excellent care of my girl” she kissed both his cheeks aff
ectionately.
There were magazines and papers spread across the desk a couple of them had shots of Sophie arriving at the hospital wrapped in the blanket after the attack, they made her feel queasy she sat on the desk chair to catch her breath, Marcus knelt beside her and held her hand, the headlines were graphic and dramatic but all seemed to paint Jasper as this cruel monster and her as a brave warrior who fought back. Sophie was relieved to see no one had mentioned the pictures Duncan had been sent so that was a huge weight off all of their minds. Diane warned them that the press would probably not rest until they had a happy ending photo to appease their readers and suggested we did a Hello Magazine photo shoot featuring the “Gables” and the new Summer House, Sophie wasn't keen but agreed to think about it. When they had done with the chats Sophie excused herself to have a bath and prepare for tonight, the guests would be arriving in a couple of hours and she wanted to be relaxed when they arrived.
