He slows his pace a little and despite my desperation for the ultimate release, his slow, torturous movements inside me feel just as good as his hard fucking. I take slow, deep breaths, feeling lightheaded as he moves in and out of me. I know he’s prolonging this and I’m grateful because I want this moment to last forever. We only get our first time once. We have all the time in the world for frenzied quickies that are over in a few minutes. This time, though, I don’t want it to be a fleeting moment of passion.
He seems to understand that perfectly. Still gently thrusting inside me, he moves to kiss my breasts as they spill out over my dress. His tongue slowly moves over my nipples, his hot, wet mouth bringing me sensations that are so good they almost push me over the edge. I gasp and he groans.
“Your body is perfect,” he tells me. His arms are tight around me, making me feel safe and protected. I trust him entirely when he begins to lower us to the ground.
“I want to go deeper inside you,” he growls. “I want to look into your eyes when we both come.”
The idea is so hot to me that I almost finish right there and then. Lying on my back on the grass, he towers over my body, his cock still buried inside me. But now that we’re in this position, this time when he moves inside me, he goes deeper than I ever thought possible. I gasp out and his hands entwine with mine, pinning them to the ground beside my head. Our eyes lock and he picks up the pace. I’m dizzy with pleasure. He’s movements much quicker now, taking me hard and fast. I can feel my orgasm building and from the look of lust in his eyes, I know he’s close too.
He lets out a long grunt as he hits deep and I hit my climax too. His body collapses against mine and we groan in unison as we hit our high. I’ve never felt something so insanely good before in my life. Knowing that he’s come, spilling his seed inside me, is impossibly hot. Knowing that he just took my virginity is a dream come true. Still coming down from the high, he kisses my neck and breasts. His hands move to cup my waist, holding me close to him. I’ve never felt so connected to a person.
“I think we just did something amazing,” I whisper to him. I get this feeling inside me that it was more than just sex. I get the feeling that we just made something that only a man and woman together can create. I can’t explain it, but I’m certain that Landon just got me pregnant.
“You’re going to have a baby. My baby,” he growls in my ear, on the same page as me entirely. He must’ve felt it too. If I’m pregnant now, then we’re connected in a way that no one else will ever understand. He’s going to be more than my lover, he’s going to be the father of my baby.
Wrapped in his arms, I feel like the luckiest girl on earth.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Landon
I wrap my arms around her protectively. Last night when we made love at the party, we had to return to the barbecue and act like nothing happened, but I was so desperate to have her again that I climbed in through her window in the night and fucked her again. Her body and mine together are the perfect match. It felt so damn good being deep inside her and now, the hunger for her is insatiable. Now that I know what we have when our bodies are together, it’s all I can think about.
Some part of me wishes I could make her father like me somehow so that we can be together for real, but since that will never happen, this is the next best thing. Sneaking around with the woman I’ve come to love in such a short time. Waking up next to her, our bodies aching from the events of the night before. It’s a dream come true.
I move closer to her, a growl forming in my throat as my cock wakes up and pokes against her naked body. I can’t resist her. She does things to me that no woman has ever been able to do before. And now that I know she’s mine and all mine, untouched by any other, it feels even more special lying beside her. I know this love is forever, no matter what her father might say when he finds out. We’re going to prove everyone wrong.
She stirs in her sleep and turns over to face me. Her eyes open, and her seductive smile catches me off guard. She lets out a sweet moan as she leans in to kiss me.
“Good morning,” she purrs, her lips feverish. Her heavy breasts press against my chest and I growl, cupping one in my hand. My other hand ventures between her legs, only to find her wet and ready for me.
“It is a good morning,” I say. She laughs, kissing me again.
“As much as I want you to keep touching me like you are, you should go soon. My Dad gets up early. I don’t want us getting caught.”
Part of me wants us to get caught. At least then we’d have a confrontation one way or another. Maybe he’d grow to accept it if he found us entwined like this now. But I know that’s wishful thinking. Besides, if she wants to keep us a secret, then I’ll do it. I’d do anything for her.
“Okay. Just a few minutes, then? Then I’ll head out. He’ll never even know I was here.”
She snuggles into my chest and sighs. “How are we going to keep this up, Landon? We’ve been up half the night. We can’t do this forever. Sneaking around, it’s so exhausting. I want to be able to tell him about the man I’m in love with, and if I’m pregnant well there’s no way I can keep that a secret from him.”
I kiss the top of her head. “We’ll work through it together. I’ll make him see some sense, even if I have to shake it into him. You’re mine, baby. He’ll have to know that sooner or later.”
She looks up at me with sad eyes. “I’m no good at keeping secrets, and I hate lying to him. I feel like the longer we keep this a secret, the worst it’ll be when it all comes out. Which it will. These things always do.”
“Then why don’t we just tell him now?” I say, cupping her face. “You don’t need to be scared. I’ll take care of you, whatever happens. You’re the woman I love. I put a baby inside you, he doesn’t worry me. If he can’t accept it then he doesn’t deserve to be in your life.”
“But I want him to be in my life, he’s my Dad. I don’t want him to hate me for this.”
“The sooner we do tell him, the better it’ll be. We don’t have to tell him everything , in fact, it’s probably better he doesn’t know about last night...but we can tell him we’ve decided to date. Take it in small steps. When he sees that we’re made for each other, he won’t have any choice but to accept us as a couple.”
Elena closes her eyes. “I wish it was that simple. But I know exactly how he’s going to react to this. He’s going to be so angry.”
“It’ll be okay. Whatever happens, I’ll take care of you,” I growl, and she nods.
“Okay, you’re right. Let’s tell him in a few days. Let the dust settle a little, then we can tell him together.”
I kiss her lips. It feels so good to be moving forward with this. I’ve waited my whole life for her and I don’t want to hold back just because her father doesn’t understand what we are to one another. If we can get through this we can get through anything.
“Alright, baby. Let’s get dressed. I’ll leave now.”
“When will you come and see me again?” she asks. I cup her face again.
“Baby, whenever you want me, day or night. I’ll be here. Just look out your window and find me. I’ll be over in a heartbeat.”
Her face forms into a sweet smile. “I love you.”
“I love you, too,” I growl. I don’t want to leave, but I have to if our plan is going to work. I sigh and stand, pulling on my shirt and jeans from last night. When I turn around, Elena is back in her nightgown. I can’t resist. I have to have one last kiss before I leave.
I go to her and sweep her up in my arms. Her legs circle my waist and she clings to me as we kiss her. Her tongue slides in my mouth and my member rises in my pants. I’d give anything to take her again. But I should go. I should leave.
Too late, I hear the thundering footsteps down the corridor. I break the kiss apart as the door swings open. Mid-kiss, we’ve been caught in a compromising position.
And there’s wrath in John’s eyes now.
Elena
I gasp as m
y dad appears in the door. He never did know how to knock. I pull away from Landon, my heart racing. For a few moments, there’s a silence that seems to go on forever. I feel nauseous. All the good feelings about having Landon here have been replaced with fear of what is about to happen.
“I can’t believe you’ve done this,” Dad hisses. I can feel myself trembling. I’ve always been so sure of myself, but right now, he’s making me feel so small.
“Dad...listen to me.”
“I don’t want to hear whatever you’re going to say,” he snaps. “I told you so many times that Landon was trouble and you refused to listen to me.”
“You’ve got me all wrong,” Landon says. “You don’t even know me. You didn’t give me a chance to prove myself to you.”
“You’ve just shown me everything I need to know,” my dad hisses. “You should be ashamed of yourself, preying on my daughter, she’s far too young for you, and that’s just one reason you don’t deserve her. Don’t make me list the rest.”
“Dad, he’s perfect for me!” I cry out. “You don’t understand. Every moment we spend together is perfect. He makes me laugh. He gives me everything I could ever need...I’m in love, Daddy”
“You’re not in love,” he snaps bitterly. “You don’t know what love is, you’re too young.”
“You married Mom at twenty-three!” I cry out indignantly. “Stop telling me how I feel. Landon and I have something special. I was waiting for the right time to tell you, hoping you’d at least attempt to understand. But no matter what I do, you won’t listen, will you? You’re so damn stubborn. You always think you’re right, but you’re not. Not this time.”
“I know better than you,” Dad growls. “I raised you from a child. I know how naive you can be. You believe you’ve found love just because you’ve found one person you actually like. But this is wrong. He’s old enough to be your father!”
“She’s a grown woman,” Landon growls. “There’s nothing wrong with the attraction we feel for one another. Why can’t you just give us a chance?”
“You don’t deserve a chance,” Dad yells. “Mark my words. I’m going to drive you out of this neighborhood. I’m going to make sure you’re not welcome here. You’re sick for trying to steal my daughter away.”
“She made the choice to be with me,” Landon hisses. “Don’t tell me what this is, only we can know what we share. Let your daughter make her own decisions.”
“Over my dead body,” my dad growls. I cry out as he launches himself at Landon, aiming a punch at his face, but Landon is quick to respond. He slams my father’s body to the ground and pins him down.
“Don’t try and mess with me because you will lose,” Landon says, somehow managing to stay relatively calm after what my dad just tried to do. “You’re being selfish.”
“I’m being a good father! Something you’ll never get to understand,” Dad spits. I know I shouldn’t say anything, and yet the words tumble out of my mouth before I can stop them.
“He will when we have our baby!”
My father’s eyes are full of fire as he looks over at me.
“What did you say?” he hisses. I swallow.
“We’re going to have a baby...I’m sorry, Daddy, but I love him and I wanted him...and now I’m sure I’m pregnant. And I want this baby. I want a family with Landon. I want more from this life than what you want me to have. I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. This is what I’m choosing...even if you don’t approve.”
Still pinned to the floor, my dad looks weaker than I’ve ever seen him. I see the fight leaving his eyes. At first, I think he’s going to forgive everything I’ve just told him. I think he’s going to see things from my perspective and get excited at the prospect of a grandchild.
But he doesn’t.
“Leave my house.”
I blink. “What?”
“You heard me. I want you to leave and never come back.”
I’m sobbing almost right away. “Daddy...no...please don’t do this...don’t send me away.”
“I’ve made up my mind,” he hisses. Landon stands up and so does my father, finding his feet and backing away from Landon in fear. “You’ve broken my heart and my trust, Elena. I don’t even recognize you anymore. You’ve made your choice, so go. Be with him if that’s what you want, but I refuse to be a part of this anymore.”
I’m trembling as Landon crosses the room to put his arms around me protectively. I feel a little better with him beside me, but my heart is breaking in my chest. I never thought my father would do this. I knew he’d be upset, but this is extreme. How can he reject me so easily? How can he forget everything we’ve shared just because I’ve fallen in love with an older man? Is he so blind that he can’t see what’s good in this world?
“You’re making a huge mistake,” Landon says to my dad. “She deserves better than what you’re willing to give her. But I’ll take care of her in a way you’re refusing to. I love your daughter, maybe one day you’ll be able to accept that.”
“Never,” Dad snaps. Landon shakes his head in disapproval.
“Then I guess we’ll see you around.”
I can barely walk because I’m shaking so much, but Landon takes me downstairs. I don’t look back to see the anger and disappointment on my dad’s face. I don’t look at the house as we leave it and head next door. I close my eyes and fall to my knees as I enter Landon’s house.
I’ve lost everything.
CHAPTER NINE
Landon
Elena doesn’t stop crying for a long time, and who can blame her? Her father just disowned her for no good reason, and now she has to stay right next door to him while she deals with that. I can’t believe that he could be so cruel just to cut her out of his life entirely. I don’t understand it one bit, but one thing is for sure. I have to be here to pick up the pieces.
I hold her close as she cries the pain out of her system. We haven’t said much, but she knows I’m here for her. I don’t want to try and say anything, knowing things will never be the same again without her father in her life. Though I think she’s better off without him at this rate, I’d never say that aloud. It’s not helpful in the slightest. No, I just have to be by her side. A shoulder to cry on. A body to hold hers close and make her feel safe.
It’s been the longest time, but her eyes are dry now as she sits up and rests her head on my shoulder. Jenny appears in the room with a cup of tea and hands it to Elena. She smiles gratefully.
“Thanks, Jenny, that’s so sweet of you.”
“It’s the least I could do,” Jenny says. I’ve never seen her look so sincere. She sits down on the chair opposite us. “And if Landon hasn’t said it already, you’re welcome here for as long as you want. Don’t worry about a thing, we’ve got you covered.”
Elena sniffs and wipes at her face. “Thank you. But honestly, the last place I want to be right now is here. Maybe I need to go and stay with a friend.” She pauses and looks at me with sad eyes. “I didn’t mean it like that. It’s not that I want to get away from you. I just need to be away from him. I can’t pass him every day in the street knowing he won’t even look at me, it’s just going to be like breaking my heart over and over.”
I kiss her cheek. “It’s okay, I understand, but you know I go wherever you go.”
Her eyes widen. “But...but you only just got here. You’ve got clients to train.”
“I don’t care,” I growl. “You’re more important. You matter more than anything else. I promised to look after you and I meant it. I’m not leaving your side, not even for a minute. You’re mine. I’m responsible for making sure you’re okay.”
Jenny smirks. “How could your Dad not like this guy, huh?”
I shoot Jenny a look and she smiles awkwardly, realizing she’s getting too involved. She stands up to leave, but she turns just before she does. “You know, if you want to get away, maybe you should go and stay at our parent’s place in New York in the Hamptons. They won’t be there at the moment and
it’s far away from here. You’ll have some privacy and peace. It would be perfect for you both.”
I consider the idea after she leaves. It would be a good place to go on last minute notice. It’s comfy, and secluded. She wouldn’t have to face up to any judgment. It would just be me and her. I could take time out of work easily. I’ll call it a family emergency. Because that’s what this is. She became my family the second I made her mine for life. Now, she’s carrying our baby. If she’s hurting, then I need to be around to care for her. I’m not going to let her do this alone.
“I think it’s a good idea,” I murmur to her. “We can have some peace and quiet. You can take your studies with you if you want, and we can stay as long as you want. We can decide what to do from there, we can even look for another house online if you want. Somewhere here in LA so I can keep my job and you can keep studying in the same city as your friends, but away from your father. What do you think?”
Her eyes widen. “You’d do that for me? You’d just drop everything and go.”
“Of course I would,” I say. “I meant it when I said I’d do anything for you. We’ll be fine at my parent’s place for a few weeks, and then we can start afresh. Just you and me. What do you think?”
She rests her forehead against mine. “I think that sounds amazing.”
“Alright. Let me take care of everything. I’ll get you some things so you don’t have to go back there.”
“I’m so lucky to have you,” she says tearfully. I kiss her gently.
“I’m the lucky one. I can’t believe I’ve got a woman as perfect as you. I know things are bad right now, but it’ll get better. We have our entire lives to look forward to.”
Elena
Our taxi pulls up in front of Landon’s parent’s house twenty-four hours after we decide to head over to the Hamptons. I’ve never been here before, but it’s as gorgeous as people say. It’s the perfect place to try and get over this heartache I’m feeling.
Not much will actually make me feel better, but when Landon helps me out of the car and takes my bag in one hand, then my hand in his other, I feel a little sense of comfort. Landon is my rock now. Even without my dad around to support me, I’ve still got a strong man to help me through. In fact, Landon is better in so many ways. Having him beside me every night to get me through means so much more than the fancy house we’re staying at. His company is all I really need.
