“Is this another way to keep me from running?” she asks as I reach down and slip her panties off her hips.
“You’re never going to run from me again, Kory. I’ll make sure of that.” I take off my shirt and slacks, leaving on my underwear as I lie on top of her naked body. “But I plan on putting a baby in you as soon as I can because I’ve waited long enough. We’ve got years of making up to do, and I’m not slowing down again.”
She brings her hands to my waist and she pushes down my boxer briefs. She reaches inside and encircles my cock with sure fingers, rubbing it up and down.
“You keep that up and I’m going to get the sheets pregnant instead of you.”
“Well, we can’t have that,” she whispers as she guides my cock to her opening.
The tip of my cock slips through her wetness, and I hiss at the sensations. It’s warm and soft, and I want to push through her folds and sink every inch into her tight body.
She leans up to my ear as I put most of my weight on her body and lean down on my elbows. I place a kiss on her neck as her lips go to my ear.
“I love you, Henry.”
They’re the words I’ve longed to hear since the day I met her, and I can’t hold back anymore. I thrust into her all the way, feeling her tense for a moment as we both lose our virginity. She’s the only home I’ve ever wanted and I finally have it wrapped around me.
I tell her of all my love, over and over as I place soft kisses on her. I try not to move as her body adjusts to the new sensation, and soon I am rewarded. She slowly rocks her hips under me, and as she relaxes, she becomes bolder.
I move with her, and though it’s cliché, our bodies truly become one. I’ve never been more connected to a soul, and making love has wound us impossibly tighter to one another.
I stare into her eyes and hold her hands in mine. The moonlight shines on her face and I don’t know how but she looks even more beautiful than she already is. My heart grows and so does our passion, and soon neither of us is content with the slow, steady pace.
Giving us what we both desperately need, I move my hips so that each thrust grazes across her clit. After only a few long strokes, she’s ready to climax and I’m doing all I can to hold off until then.
When her body stops fighting it, she opens her legs and screams out my name as she peaks. I feel the pulses of her climax all along my shaft and I can only follow her over the edge. I see stars as the pleasure hits me, and it takes everything in me to keep from collapsing on top of her in a heap.
Instead, I cling to her, and when I feel her body become limp under me, I roll us over and wrap my arms and legs around her.
“I can’t move, Henry. There’s no way I could run.” I feel her smile against my chest, but I don’t let go.
“Just making sure you don’t try to hit it and quit it.” She laughs, and it runs all the way down my cock, which is still inside her. I thrust up, wanting to feel it again, and her laugh turns into a moan. “I’m not finished with you.”
“I’ll never leave you again,” she vows, sitting up and looking down at me. “I’m home.”
“Forever,” I say, and she nods.
I hold her hips as she begins to move, and we make love all over again.
Chapter Eight
Kory
“Call out sick,” Henry says as he trails kisses down my spine.
“I can’t! I just started working there.” Though I really wish I could. At this moment I never want to get out of this bed. I didn’t know I could ever be this happy. I’m so pissed at myself for not hearing him out all those years ago. I could have spent the past ten years waking up to this.
“Maybe I’m your new boss.”
I roll over to look up at him. His face is straight. No evidence that his words are a joke. “You didn’t!” I snap. I want to be annoyed, but part of me loves that he’d do something like that.
“Don’t like the idea of someone else bossing you around,” he says, his dimples as bright as can be. Then they suddenly drop away. “What the fuck?”
His gaze drops to the bruise that still lingers on my ribs. All the playfulness we just had washes away. I don’t want to think about Jason right now.
“I...ah—”
“Don’t do that. You’re about to lie.” My eyes fall closed. “I want a name,” he demands, and I open my eyes. How does he know? Maybe he can just read me well...
“Jason. He’s my old boss.” Henry is out of the bed before I can finish my sentence. His phone is at his ear, his expression murderous. “Henry, stop!” I lunge for him, but I’m not really sure what my goal is. I want Jason to pay for what he did but also want to move past it. He could do it to some other woman, but I also don’t care for the idea of having to face him either.
Henry catches me easily, his phone falling to the floor. It’s then I realize that I’m completely naked. “Fuck,” Henry grunts, and I find myself back on the bed, pinned under him.
“Never in my life did I think I’d get a naked Kory chasing after me.” He smiles at me before his mouth meets mine in a deep kiss. I melt into him before I remember I really need to get to work. I push on his chest and he lets my mouth go.
“Work,” I moan.
He drops his forehead to mine. “My chair better still be in your lab, cause I’ll be spending my day in it.”
I giggle thinking he’s joking, but when I really look at his face I know he’s not.
“You think I’m letting you out of my sight until I got this Jason shit locked up?”
I lick my lips. Once again I know I should be annoyed, but that’s not what flutters in my heart. I love that he’s so protective of me.
“Your chair will always be there,” I tell him. I’ll never push him from my life again. If he wants to follow me around everywhere, I’ll let him. “But we need to get moving. We still need to go to my place to get clothes.”
“I don’t run a billion-dollar company without knowing how to be prepared, baby,” Henry says as he pulls me from the bed and tosses me over his shoulder. I squeak as he drops me on his sofa. I see tons of bags littering the floor. “I’ll have your stuff moved over today.”
“Henry.” My eyes start to water.
“I’ll work on your mom. I bet she probably hates me, but I’ll spend the rest of my life making her like me. I’ll do whatever it takes.”
With that, the tears I’m holding leak down my face.
“Baby, don’t cry.” He kisses them, stopping them in their tracks.
“You say all the right things.” I hiccup.
“Well, trust me, I know how mad your mom is at me. She spent many nights blocking me from you. She even smacked me a few times.”
I gasp. It’s hard to think of my mom smacking anyone.
“Trust me, babe. She has a good smack.”
I rub my hand across the thin beard he has. “I like this,” I tell him.
“Then I won’t shave.”
“There anything you wouldn’t do for me?” I ask, smiling up at him, thoughts of Jason long gone.
“Give you up,” he says instantly.
“I promise I’ll never ask that again.”
“Well, you better get ready or I’m never letting you out of here.”
I debate calling in for a moment but know I’m going to have a lifetime with this man. It’s clear after last night it’s always going to be us.
I make myself stand up. Henry watches me as I shuffle through the bags. I can’t believe how many there are; it looks like he cleared out a department store.
“You just going to watch me?” I tease, looking over my shoulder.
“Babe, you’re fucking naked. Yeah, I’m just going to watch you.”
I throw him a half-hearted eye roll, pulling out a blue dress and a pair of panties.
Henry narrows his eyes at t
he panties. “Fuck. I didn’t think about panties. I sure don’t like the idea of my male assistant picking out your underwear.”
“I highly doubt he did. Probably had a personal shopper do it,” I say as I slide them on. I should probably shower, but I like the idea of smelling like Henry all day.
“Still don’t like it,” he says, standing from the sofa as I pull the dress on over my head. Henry comes and places a kiss on my back before zipping it.
“Shall I take them off and go without?” I turn my head and bat my eyelashes at him.
“You’re not walking around without underwear all day. I’ll be thinking about bending you over every surface, and then I’ll be thinking about someone getting a look at what’s mine. I’ll be horny and pissed all day.”
I turn and wind my arms around his neck. “You’re the only one who’s ever seen it. No need to get jealous.”
“Yeah, but I want to make sure it stays that way,” he says before his mouth takes mine.
“We’re never getting out of here,” I laugh against his mouth.
He reluctantly lets me go. “Go finish getting ready,” he tells me with a sigh. I dart off to the bathroom and do my morning routine. This all feels too good to be true. I look at myself in the mirror. I look well loved. I hate that I have to go to work. Normally I love working, but today it doesn’t have the same attraction. Maybe it’s because I used it to get lost in. Now I just want to get lost in Henry.
I walk back in to see Henry on his phone. “Make the calls,” I hear him say before he turns around, sliding his phone into his pocket, and sees me. “You ready, baby?”
My heart flutters at his term of endearment. Even though he’s used it before, it’s still new. “Yeah.”
He kisses me below my ear, then grabs my hand and leads me out.
When we get outside there is a car waiting for us. He motions for the driver to not open the door and instead opens it for me himself. I slide in and he follows suit.
“I need to see your mom today,” he says, taking me a little by surprise. “I want to settle anything that could stand between us.”
I look into his deep blue eyes. “Okay.” I nod in agreement. I don’t want anything between us either. I had no idea what had gone on between my mom and him until today.
The drive to work is all too quick. I hate getting out of the car and leaving him, but he follows me. I turn to look at him. “I wasn’t joking,” he says.
“You really bought the company?”
He shrugs like it’s no big thing. “Not leaving you until this Jas—”
His words are cut off when someone yells my name. It’s almost as if Henry conjured him. Jason is storming at me. I take a step back and almost lose my footing. Henry catches me before putting himself in front of me.
Fear takes hold of me for a moment, then Henry is on him. One solid punch and Jason hits the concrete. A few security guards I didn’t notice before this flood in. Henry barks at them to step back as he takes a few more punches at Jason.
“How does it feel to have someone your own size come against you?” He hits him again. Blood pours from Jason’s nose. “Guessing you don’t fucking know.” He slams his head into the ground, knocking him out.
“Sir,” one of the security guards says, trying to calm him, but it looks like nothing will. My eyes meet the security guard’s, and he motions to me to get him to stop.
“Henry.” I say his name softly. He lets go of Jason and turns to look at me. “Please.” He looks back at Jason, then to me.
“Get in the car, baby,” he tells me.
“Are you getting in, too?”
“Yeah.” I reach out and grab him to make sure he really is.
“Take care of it,” he tells the security guard, who nods as Henry slides back into the car with me.
“Did I scare you?” he asks as I grab the handkerchief in his suit jacket to wipe off his knuckles.
“No,” I admit easily. “You’d never scare me.” I glance up at him, feeling a little shy. “It was kinda hot. You standing up for me. Not letting him near me.” He grabs me, pulling me into his lap so I’m straddling him. “I just don’t want you to get in trouble.”
“I won’t. The cops were already looking for him. And, well, the mayor owes me a few favors.”
I shake my head. “Of course he does.” I can’t help but giggle.
“Not taking you back there today,” he growls, pulling me closer.
“Hmm. Maybe I can work from home. There anything my new boss would like me to do?” I tease.
“I can think of a few things.” I move against him, feeling his hard erection.
I try to slide off his lap, wanting to take him in my mouth.
“Baby,” he growls. “We wait until we’re home. No one sees you like this.” I glance over my shoulder to see the driver and feel myself blush. I can’t believe he made me forget where I am. Only he can do that to me.
“I love you,” I tell him, dropping my forehead to his.
“When we get home I want you to chant that over and over while I’m inside of you.”
“Sounds like this is going to be the best day of my life.”
Chapter Nine
Henry
It’s been two days, and I can’t stand it anymore. I want her to be mine in every way. I don’t care if we’ve only been back together for two days. This was ten years in the making. But we can’t seem to stop making love so I can do what I need to.
“Where are you going? Come back to bed.” Kory reaches for me, and I look back at the bed to see her naked body spread out on the silky sheets.
“Why do you have to make everything so difficult?” I say, going back to bed and crawling on top of her. “I’m trying to do something and you’re tempting me to the point of insanity.”
“If you’re crazy, then I hope they put me in the same cell as you.” She leans in and lowers her voice. “Because I think I might be feeling the exact same way.”
“Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to get out of this bed while you’re naked?”
“If I had to take a guess, I’d say pretty hard.” She snakes her hand down between us and wraps it around my length.
“You’re a witch.” I hiss as her hands stroke up and down, slowly milking my hard cock. “Don’t stop.”
The tip of my cock brushes against her wet lips, and I feel pearls of cum leak out of me. A shiver rolls down my spine and I have to hold back the urge to enter her.
“Just once more,” she whispers as she runs her tongue along the shell of my ear.
With her one request, I’m forgetting all my plans again. I grab her wrists and pin them above her head as I thrust hard into her. Her legs wrap around me, and she moans with delight as I take her roughly.
“Just once? Is that all you want, baby?” I grit my teeth as the tight grip of her pussy surrounds me.
“No,” she breathes, and it’s music to my ears.
“This is forever, isn’t it?”
She nods, but I squeeze her hands, wanting to hear the words.
“Forever, Henry.”
I’ll never get tired of her telling me she’s mine. That she and I are in this for the long haul. I knew from the beginning that it would always be the two of us. We were destined for it, and there was never any stopping it. No matter how hard we tried to screw it up.
“Say it,” I growl, needing to hear the words.
“I love you,” she says instantly, and I grow bigger and harder inside her.
Nothing turns me on more than to hear her admission of love. It’s the one thing I need to hear, but she doesn’t seem to mind saying it.
Her body tightens as her orgasm slides through her and she peaks with a shout. Her shaking thighs are tired from all of our lovemaking today, but neither of us can bring ourselves to call for a br
eak.
I may die in this bed between her thighs, but I don’t think I could ask for a better way to go.
I’m unable to hold off any longer as the pulses of her pussy beg me to join her in paradise. I wrap my arms around her and grunt out my release inside of her. Our bodies are slick from passion, and it’s primal and real. I’ve never been more open and honest with anyone in my life, and the intimacy we share is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
“Now can I get up from the bed?” I ask, rubbing my nose against hers.
She nods with her eyes closed. She’s smiling, but she looks like she might fall asleep. When I pull out, she groans at the loss and I kiss her softly before I get up from the bed and go to the closet.
I reach for the box at the top, pulling it down and taking it back to the bedroom with me. Kory is on her side with her eyes closed, but when I sit down on the edge of the bed and watch her, she opens them sleepily.
I brush a lock of hair off her shoulder and lean over, kissing the bare skin there. “I’ve got a present for you.”
Her smile grows as she looks at me then at the box in my lap. “What is it?”
Carefully, I open the lid and push away the white tissue. Kory sits up and looks down into the box as I pull out a pair of white shoes covered in rhinestones. They sparkle in the light and it takes her a second before she recognizes them. When she does, she gasps and puts her hand over her mouth.
They’re the shoes she left on the porch the night of the prom. I look up to see surprise on her face, but I only smile at her. It was the only thing she left behind, and all I had to keep with me all these years.
“I see you remember them,” I say, and she nods, still not saying a word. “I didn’t bother letting every girl in town try them on, because I knew who my princess was, even back then. When I found them that night on the porch, I couldn’t leave them. So, in my panic while looking for you, I brought them home with me.” I look at the shoes and then back at Kory, smiling. “After I found out you were okay, I held on to them, thinking that maybe they’d be a good excuse to see you again. I kept telling myself that if I had them, then you’d have to see me.”
