“I don’t mind at all.”
She reaches up and undoes the buttons on my shirt and her eyes light up as she sees my bare chest. “You like?”
She nods and bites her lower lip. “I knew you’d have a fantastic six pack and pecs of steel.” Her hands run over my skin and it fills me with heat.
I have to take my time with her!
Her bra has a clasp in the front and I open it, setting her perfect tits free. “Damn it, girl.” I look up at her. “I have to taste them.”
She smiles, runs her hands behind my head, and gently pushes my head down. I lick my lips just before they touch her breast.
My cock jerks as my lips touch it and I moan as I lick the hard nipple. She moans out my name, and it sends me into a spiral.
I’ve had plenty of sex, and this is not sex. This is magical and fascinating and like nothing I’ve ever felt.
One hand moves to caress her other breast as I run my tongue over the one in my mouth. Then I suck it and feel her body go tense as her hands run through my hair. “Reed!”
She arches her chest up to me and my hand leaves her other breast and moves down to push her skirt up. I have ached to feel her like this, and it’s so much more than I thought it would be.
My fingers move up her silky panties and then I feel the elastic at the top and move them down until my fingers touch her folds. Her hot and already wet folds.
She really does want me!
I move one finger into her and flatten my palm out to cover her. I pulse it inside her as her legs pull up to allow me better access.
Her hands move under the back of my shirt and over my back as she moves under my touch. “Reed, my God,” she moans as I continue to please her.
Her moans hit my ears like velvet covered sounds that go all the way through and touch my soul. To hear her like this has been a fantasy for so damn long.
I can feel her walls beginning to tighten as I pump my finger inside her and move my palm over her, making sure to press her clit, and then her body starts shaking. “Tell me when, Reed.”
Her words have me confused and I pull my mouth away from her delicious tit. “Tell you when what?”
“When I can cum. Tell me when,” she says.
“Whenever you want, Jenna. It is your body and you know when you want to do that, right?”
She looks kind of dumbstruck, then smiles. “K.”
I suppose that jackass made her ask permission for that too!
“Jenna, I love you.”
Her smile grows and her eyes get all glassy. “Reed, I love you too.” Her hands move to my cheeks and she pulls me to kiss her.
Moving my hand from her, I move my body up hers and kiss her long and sweet and easy, to let her know she’s precious. More than anything in this world, she is the most important thing to me. And she always will be.
I roll over with her and keep her on top of me as we kiss. Her light weight on me is a thing I’ve always wanted to feel. And it’s better than I imagined.
Everything with Jenna is so much better than I ever imagined it would be!
I was a little afraid I had her up on a pedestal and that I might be disappointed if I actually ever did get a chance with her. But I was wrong.
I didn’t set the bar high enough. She’s like heaven in my arms. She’s my own angel and now I have her home with me where she belongs.
Where she’s always belonged.
Then I realize I haven’t offered her a drink or anything and stop the kiss. “How rude of me. Are you thirsty or hungry, Jenna? I didn’t even offer. I have all kinds of things. Name it and I most likely have it.”
She laughs. “I’d like to keep on doing this, if you don’t mine.”
“I do not mind at all.” I flip over again and move off her. “And I think it’s time to get rid of these pesky clothes we have on.”
“I agree,” she says, and tries to sit up.
I push her back to the bed. “I got it.”
She smiles and lies back. “I see.”
While she gets the rest of the way out of her bra, I get her skirt off and the matching pink panties and marvel at her body as she lies on my bed. “Jenna, you are gorgeous.”
“Thank you. Now drop the pants so I can run my eyes over you too.”
I do as she’s said and watch her eyes go big as she sees what I have for her inside them. “Will this do, ma’am?”
She nods and holds out her arms for me to come into. “Yes, it will, Reed Manning. You are a man who hides a lot. What an impressive gift you have there.”
Moving my body over hers, I look into her eyes. “And it is yours forever, if you want.”
Pushing her hair back, I trail kisses over her neck, then down her shoulder, and keep moving down until I’m at her apex and have her body quivering. My tongue runs over her clit and she arches up. “Reed!”
Her hands fist in my hair as I lick her clit over and over and she wiggles so much I have to grab her ass and hold her still so I can do more. She’s putting out such heat, I know she’s going to cum several times.
I put my mouth on her and lick, suck, and nip at her clit and folds. She’s moaning and making little purring noises and it sends me into a frenzy, trying my best to please her.
She lets out a little shriek and her body goes tense. “Reed! My God! Reed!”
I run my tongue inside her and find her pulsing, so I move my body up hers and ram my throbbing cock into her. It feels so good, I nearly scream with the intensity.
“God, Jenna. Goddamn, you feel so good. So fucking good!” I make a stroke.
Her nails run over my back. “Reed! I can’t stop the orgasm!”
I move and ram my thick and long cock into her again as she holds on tight to me and screams my name again. Over and over, I ram into her, with a need I’ve never had before. And she screams my name with each thrust.
My body is hot and shaking with need. The need to please her. The need to be pleased by her. The all-encompassing need for her.
Her body is shaking and wiggling underneath mine as she continues to orgasm. Her walls are squeezing my dick and it’s nearly impossible not to let go, but I want her to cum for as long as she can before I let mine go.
The poor thing has been without for a long time, after all!
Kissing her neck, I can taste the saltiness of the sweat escaping as her body can’t stop and I won’t let it as I pound into her sweet, wet depths, something I’ve fantasized about doing for so long.
Her tits are squished under my chest, another thing I’ve wanted to feel for so damn long. Her stomach smashes under mine as I drive my cock into her.
My name on her lips as her body comes undone is a thing I never thought I’d get to hear. Yet here she is with me, screaming my name. And then I can’t stop and I flood her with my cum.
My dick can’t stop jerking into her, sending her even further over the edge as she arches up to me. “Yes! Yes! Finally! Reed!”
“Jenna,” I mumble against the skin of her neck. “My Jenna.”
Her body is still shaking as her hands glide over my back. “Your Jenna,” she whispers. “Always yours, Reed.”
“Forever,” I whisper. “Forever, Jenna.”
“Forever, Reed.” Her words fall soft and then she takes my face and pulls it back and she has tears running down her cheeks. “I love you more than I could ever imagine loving someone.”
I run my fingers over her cheeks. “Don’t cry.”
She sniffles. “I have to. I’ve never been a part of something so beautiful before.”
I know she hasn’t. “Neither have I.” I kiss the tip of her nose. “Jenna, this is more than I knew was possible. I can never let you go now.”
“I don’t want you to,” she says. “Because I can never let you go either.”
With a deep sigh, I look into her green eyes and see the light there. A light that has never been there before. I put that there. I helped her become this woman. This beautiful woman.
&nbs
p; And I will always strive to keep that light there from now on.
Pulling out of her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The urge to stay inside her is overwhelming, like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
And the whole way I feel about her is a little frightening. Like if I lost her I would never be the same again.
I shake my head to get rid of the thought.
I’m not going to lose her. She feels just as strongly as I do. I can feel it and see it in her eyes and the way she holds me to her.
This is no dream, no lie. This is real, and she feels it too. I have to have faith this will last forever.
“Reed?”
“Yes?”
“That wasn’t normal, was it?”
“I’ve never experienced anything like that.” I lie back and put my arm around her and pull her to me, then kiss the side of her head. “Ever!”
“I only have the one to compare to and that was beyond comparison.”
The fact I know the only other one was my brother makes me kind of grossed out, but at least she said I was beyond comparison.
“Good to hear,” I say with a chuckle.
“This is so weird,” she says, and I flinch as if she’s punched me.
“Weird? I wouldn’t use that word to describe what this is.”
“I guess weird isn’t accurate. This is just a thing I had a few fantasies about over the years and it happened and it was better than any of them.”
“I had more than a few fantasies about this, and you’re right, it was way beyond any I had too.”
“Think it’ll stay this great?” she asks as she runs her hand over my stomach.
I run my hand up her arm. “I do. And I can promise you I will do my best to make sure it stays this way and that you’re always happy. You’re my angel, and I will always treat you like one.”
I can feel her smile against my chest. “You’re my prince, and I will always treat you like one.”
At least we’re on the same page!
“You want to get up and eat or get something to drink or anything like that?” I ask her.
“I’d really like to stay right here in your arms and fall asleep, if you don’t mind. I’ve never felt more relaxed and comfortable in my life.”
My heart fills with what I suppose is joy that this woman finds my arms the most relaxing and comfortable place for her.
“Then here we shall stay for as long as you want, Angel.”
“Good. I want to stay like this for as long as we can. I want this time to be etched into my brain for all of eternity. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
Me too!
Chapter 17
JENNA
Each one of Reed’s breaths falls softly against the back of my shoulder as he holds me loosely in his strong arms. I fall into the deepest and best sleep I’ve ever had, and it’s all because of him.
With the love we made, I know I have to tell my parents about him and face his own parents. The fact is, I’d face anyone and let them know I am with this man.
I feel like he’s a part of me now. And it makes no sense. That was the first time we made love and I’m ready to marry the man. I’m ready to get on to building a life and family with this man.
Everyone we know is going to freak out and tell us we’re moving way too fast. But the fact is, we’ve had this thing simmering just beneath our surfaces for many years.
A chill runs through my body as Rod’s face makes a brief appearance in my mind before I send it away. The fact is, he will be mad when he finds out. But the chances of us being in Jerome when he finally makes an appearance there are very slim.
And then there’s the matter of the contract and what that might mean to him. The thought has often plagued me that he would go to great lengths to get me back under his control.
With Reed though, I do feel safe. For the first time in a long time, I feel safe.
And to find out this man is a billionaire is mind shattering. I have no idea what that really even means. No financial worries to bog down a relationship. No waiting for paychecks to come in before we can buy groceries. No more tiny houses that are falling apart.
But that life went away when Rod did, anyway.
Reed’s body shakes a little. Then he groans and his lips touch my neck. I run my hand over his head. “Ready to wake up?” I ask him.
“Not if this is a dream, I’m not,” he says with a light laugh.
I turn in his arms and run mine around him. His short blond hair shines in the light coming through the windows. Sheer tan curtains hang over them but let in just the right amount of sunlight.
His dark blue eyes blink a few times as he looks back at me. “I want to take you somewhere.”
“K,” I say as I run my hand through his hair.
“I want you to find a job teaching here. I know there’s a private school not far from here, and I bet you could get a job there. If you want one. If you don’t want to work, of course, you don’t have to. It’s all up to you.”
“You sure are making plans quickly,” I say with a smile.
“I know. If I go too fast, tell me. But I’ve wanted this for so long, I feel a need to get to where we would be if I had made you mine that summer when you turned eighteen.”
I close my eyes with the reality of my eighteenth summer. The introduction to Rod’s needs.
It’s been a long time since I allowed myself to go back there. It’s a place that makes my heart ache for so many reasons.
I open my eyes. “So where is it you want to take me?”
“If we take a shower and get dressed, I can show you.”
“A shower with you sounds pretty great.”
His hand moves over my arm. “Everything with you sounds pretty great.”
A mere three hours later Reed has me in his red BMW and we’re pulling into the parking garage of some downtown place in Los Angeles. “Let me get your door, Angel.”
Reed gets out and I wait so he can be the gentleman he wants to be. This gentleman stuff is pretty awesome, and I’m loving it.
After he helps me out, we walk into the side door of some business and, once inside, I see we’ve entered a jewelry shop. I hesitate, and he looks at me. “Too soon?”
“Reed,” I say, and he puts his finger to my lips.
“I want you to wear my ring. We can get married whenever you want, but I want you wearing my ring and everyone knowing you’re taken.”
“I’m not in the kind of demand you may think I am,” I say with a laugh.
“I just want you to wear it. I want you to have a constant reminder of what I want for us. A happy life together. That’s all. So pick out the engagement ring you love and later we’ll buy our wedding rings.” He ends his sentence with a kiss on my cheek.
So I let him lead me to the first glass covered showcase of expensive rings and we begin the process of trying to find the most gorgeous thing I will be looking at on my finger forever.
A gorgeous saleswoman wearing heels and dripping in diamonds comes out of a backroom. “Hello. How can I help you today?”
Reed gives her a smile. “By showing us what you have in her size.”
She reaches out for my left hand, so I hold it out and, with one glance, she says, “A five. It is an engagement ring, right?”
Reed nods. “So what do you have in that size?”
She moves around from case to case and gathers up a nice assortment of engagement rings and comes back to us. “All of these are fives.”
“Wow! That’s a lot of shiny rocks right there.” I look at Reed. “You sure?”
He nods. “More than sure.”
The saleslady says, “I can slim down the choices if you have a price limit.”
Reed shakes his head. “Anything she wants. And do me a favor, don’t tell us any of their prices. If she knows them, she’ll go cheap, and I don’t want that.”
He does know me!
The lady gives a nod and steps back to let me look at all the
gorgeous rings. After a mere hour, I pick out the one ring which will stay on my finger forever. Once Reed slides it on, that is.
It’s a nice large solitaire. It’s grand enough for a billionaire’s wife, yet subtle enough for a girl like I am.
Reed lets the woman put it in a box and a bag, then he takes it and we leave. As he opens the car door for me he stops me before I get in. “Jenna, am I doing this all too fast?”
“I suppose we could slow way down. I could take a job here and get my own place.”
He shakes his head. “You’d never be able to afford a place here. Even a shitty one. And I want you in my bed from now on.”
My heart speeds up. “Oh, yeah?”
He nods. “I want to fall asleep with you every night and wake up with you every morning from now on, Angel.”
“Then I think the pace we’re going is fine. We can be engaged for a decent amount of time. Say a year, and we can start to make our wedding plans. How does that sound to you? I mean, we aren’t roped into anything with being engaged. If things aren’t working out, I’ll simply give you your ring back. No hard feelings.”
His lips quirk up to the left as he frowns. “Don’t even say if things don’t work out. They will. I’ll make sure of that.”
I get into the car and he closes the door behind me. Maybe it is moving fast. Maybe it will be like a storm that forms too quickly and blows fast and furious only for a short time.
But whatever this is, I want it all for as long as I can have it.
Reed gets in and I just go for broke. “Okay, so we have things to talk about, you and I.”
He looks over at me with a nervous smile. “Shoot.”
“How many kids are we having, and how long are we waiting to have them? And how many years are we going to put between each one?”
He laughs. “And for a second there I thought you were going to talking about something hard. That’s easy. Four kids, spaced two years apart. Next question.”
He starts the car and pulls away. As I look over at him, something inside me tells me this is going to work.
Maybe my first love didn’t work out, but my second will. So what if the loves happen to be brothers? There have to be odder things.
I think I saw on some trashy daytime television show once where there was a woman who left her young husband who she had children with, married his father, and had kids with him too.
