“I’m sorry, too.”
“You have nothing to apologize for.” I gently pushed my fingers through her hair. “Please, don’t cry.” I ran my thumb along her cheeks, wiping away the tears. “It kills me.”
She chuckled. “I’m sorry. I’m just so emotional.”
“I can see that.”
Melanie rested her head on my chest. She snuggled into me until she found the perfect spot, sighing in satisfaction.
“It’s almost like we were made for each other. We fit so well together,” she murmured.
“Maybe we were.” I placed my fingers underneath her chin and tilted her head so that she’d be forced to look at me. “Melanie, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now.”
Her eyes widened but she remained silent.
“I love you, sweetheart.”
“You what?” she gasped, eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. “Say that again.”
I smiled. “I love you, Melanie.” To prove myself, I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. I held her tenderly in my arms as the passion between us grew. I wanted my kiss to speak all the words that I couldn’t say – to show her how much I really adored her.
She melted into my embrace.
In that moment, I never wanted to let her go. This woman was far too precious.
Eventually our lungs burned for air and we were forced to pull away. Our eyes locked as we stood there, forehead to forehead, simply enjoying the moment.
“Do you really mean that?” Melanie whispered.
“Of course.” I kissed the top of her head. “My time with you was a dream. You made me happier than anyone else ever could.”
She blushed, cheeks turning crimson at my words. “I can’t believe it.”
“Why?”
“Well, I’m just a normal girl and you…you’re Aaron Black, billionaire extraordinaire.”
I chuckled. “I’m just as normal as you are. Besides, none of that matters so long as we love each other.”
She smiled. “You’re right.”
“So does that mean that you love me too?” I asked, testing the waters, my heart in my throat. But I didn’t have long to wait.
“I do.” Her cheeks became even redder. “I love you so much. That’s why I was so heartbroken when you left. I felt like I had lost the love of my life and that I’d never be able to find someone quite like you again.”
“Well, you’re never going to have to worry about that, ever.” Suddenly, I picked her up and spun her around, a possessive smile on my face.
She giggled with glee as we both fell back into my chair. I placed my hands on her thighs, keeping her steady as she sat on my lap.
“I still can’t believe this. I was so sure you didn’t want me when you disappeared on that last day.”
My smile disappeared, replaced with a serious expression. I took her hands in mine and looked into her eyes. “No, I never wanted you to leave. You took the initiative and left on your own. I never asked you to leave. Grace was only packing up your stuff because she had orders from three months before, and I had forgotten to change them. I went out for some coffee, and when I got back, you were gone.”
Her eyes widened. “Really?” she asked slowly. “Because I was devastated when I thought you’d deserted me.”
I tightened my arms around her waist and pulled her into my chest. “Shh, it’s in the past now. All that matters is that we finally know the truth. I love you and you love me. That’s all that matters.”
She smiled before leaning in to kiss me. Our lips collided with a passion that burned inside my soul. I loved this woman more than anything else in this world.
Melanie continued to kiss me, her hunger growing. I could tell by the way she moved her hips against mine that she wanted more.
I smirked and grabbed her ass, squeezing it tightly in my hands. I pulled away from the kiss and started to trail my lips along the side of her neck. She tilted her head back and moaned ever so slightly. Gently, I nibbled on her earlobe, tugging on it slightly.
“Mmm.”
I ran my hand underneath her shirt, letting my fingertips dance along her spine. She arched her back and shivered.
“Do you like that, baby girl?”
“It feels so good,” she murmured as she tangled her fingers into my hair.
I teased her a little longer before getting up and holding her in my arms. Effortlessly, I carried her up the stairs to my bedroom. It felt like so long since I had been with her. I could no longer quench my desires. I wanted her.
No. I craved her.
Once we were inside my bedroom, I laid her down on my bed. Slowly, I crawled on top of her. I lifted her shirt and planted kisses on her stomach before I moved upwards toward her chest. I lingered just below her bra.
Melanie moaned softly, enjoying the moment. But it didn’t take long before she sat up and took off her shirt.
I watched her with lust-filled eyes as she reached behind her back and unclipped her bra.
“Mmm, what do we have here?” I growled as I leaned forward to take a nipple into my mouth. I flicked my tongue along the hard little nub.
Melanie pushed her hips into the air, her body asking for more.
Wanting to tease her even further, I curled my tongue around her nipple, flicking it harder and faster.
“Aaron,” Melanie whispered.
I looked up at her but didn’t say a word. Instead, I bit down on her breast. She screamed in pleasure, lifting her hips off the mattress completely. I took the opportunity to wrap my arms around her waist and switch our positions. I held onto her hips as she straddled me.
“Mmm, what are we doing?” Melanie asked.
“I thought you might want to go for a nice little ride. What do you think?”
She smiled coyly. “I would love to.” Melanie started to unbutton my shirt. She took her time, occasionally leaning forward so her breasts would hang right in front of my face. I couldn’t help but lean forward and kiss her nipples, making her moan.
“You’re being very naughty.”
“Am I?” she responded in an innocent tone of voice.
Eventually, my shirt came off, joining hers on the floor. Next came our pants. We helped each other, teasing one another along the way. I’d nip at her shoulder and she’d place a hand on my chest, pretending to take control of the situation.
Before long, we were both naked and desperately excited. She once again straddled me, this time with a fiery look in her eye.
I took my cock and teased it between her wet folds, enjoying the plump, full feeling of her aching pussy. “Someone’s eager.”
“I’ve been waiting for you for the past six months. Of course, I’m eager,” she whispered, already grinding against my shaft.
Melanie was soaked. Her juices seemed to flow out of her like a river.
“This feels so good,” she moaned, rocking against my hips.
My tip kept teasing her entrance, driving us both insane. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to handle much more of this. Still, I held on for as long as possible so that we could both enjoy the moment.
Melanie sat up and placed her hands on my chest. “I want you.”
“Then take me, baby.”
She blushed slightly but nonetheless took my cock into her hands and lined it up with her hole.
With my hands on her hips, I pushed her down onto my cock, fucking up into that tight pink pussy.
She gasped and shuddered against my body, pussy stretching. “Unnnh! You’re so big.”
“Did you already forget what I feel like?” I growled into her ear. “Because after tonight, you’ll never forget.”
She shivered at my words, unable to speak, merely letting her pink cunt adjust.
“That’s it, baby girl. Show me how much you missed me. Bounce up and down, fuck me like you mean it.”
Slowly, Melanie started to move up and down my shaft, taking her time. It was obscene to watch as she knelt over me, levering hers
elf up and down, her pink pussy lips stretched tightly around my massive pole. And yet, this was where she belonged. The girl moaned, throwing her head back as another inch of my huge shaft disappeared into her tight, tiny hole.
“Yeah baby,” I grunted hoarsely, watching my glistening rod disappear into her wet slit. “Oh yeah, just like that.”
I dug my fingers into her hips for a better grip as things started to get hot and heavy. She was riding me hard and fast, and the bed creaked underneath our passionate movements.
But before things went too far, I stopped her.
She whimpered, breathing hard. “Why’d you do that?”
“Because tonight, I want to make love to you.” I rolled us over, so she was lying underneath me. “You’re so beautiful.” I said in a low voice as I caressed her cheeks with my fingertips. “It’s hard to believe that you truly do love me.”
“I do.” She pulled in my face and kissed me.
As the kiss intensified, I began to thrust into her, in and out, with a slow and steady rhythm. I wanted to make this moment something worth remembering – something special. So I took my time, loving her every inch. My lips never stopped traveling over her every curve and crevice.
“Aaron,” Melanie moaned. She threw her head back in pleasure.
My fingers slipped between her thighs. They lingered on her clit, rubbing her up and down, left and right, making small circles. Fuck, she was so wet. Moisture coated my digits, and an obscene sucking sound rang out as I fucked deep into her again and again.
Melanie bucked her hips into the air. I smirked. I could tell that she was finding it hard to process this overwhelming rush of pleasure, but I continued to play her body like a violin. I wanted this to feel good.
No. Not just good.
Amazing.
I pumped into her a little harder, all while gazing into her eyes. “Come for me, baby.”
She bit her bottom lip. Her body tensed. Thighs quivered. She was close – very close.
I ran my fingers over her clit one more time before pinching it hard. “Come baby, come for me,” I commanded.
She gasped and curled her toes. I could tell by the glazed expression on her face that she was right on the edge. I thrust a little faster as my own orgasm began to build.
Somehow, in perfect sync, we climaxed together.
“FUCK!” was my victorious roar, lash after lash of bubbly white sperm jetting into her nubile female form. “Fuck shit fuck!”
And my baby took it all, her pussy pulsing and clamping, milking every last drop of seed from my balls.
“Oh!” was her delirious cry, breasts heaving as that cunt spasmed as it overfilled. “Oh yes, Mr. Black! Yes, give it to me!”
We collapsed into the bed, breathing hard.
“Wow,” Melanie murmured. She looked dazed.
“How was that?” I asked, gently pinning a strand of her now wild hair behind her ear.
“That was amazing. No, that word doesn’t do it justice. I was more than that.”
I chuckled.
“It was that good, huh?”
“Yes.” She snuggled up to me.
With a smile on my face, I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. “I love you, Melanie.”
“I love you too, Mr. Black.”
I kissed her nose as my smile widened. “From now on, I’m never letting you leave me again.”
She laughed. “At this point, you couldn’t get me to leave even if you tried.”
I chuckled. “Oh yeah?”
“Yes.” She nuzzled her head into my chest. “I love that I can hear your heartbeat when I lie like this.”
I ran my fingers through her hair. “Well, you can listen to it whenever you’d like because my heart belongs to you now.”
“Under one condition.”
“Hmm, sweetheart?” I raised an eyebrow wryly. “What are you talking about? What condition?”
“You swear to never make another bargain with my mother.”
I was silent for a moment. “I can’t promise you that because I still want to make one more.”
Melanie frowned. “What’s that?”
“I need to ask Miranda what I need to do in order to marry her daughter.”
“What?” she gasped.
“I want to marry you, Melanie.”
“That’s what I thought you said.”
“What do you think about it, sweetheart?”
Melanie took her time answering while shooting me a coy smile. But then she leaned forwards and kissed me.
“I think Mrs. Black has a rather nice ring to it,” she said with a giggle before kissing me ever so gently. When she pulled away, she looked into my eyes as if searching for something. “But do you really mean it? Do you really want to marry me?”
“Yes. I love you and I’d be the happiest man in the world if I had the honor of calling you my wife.” And with that, my girl melted against me, sighing with contentment. Because it took a long time getting here. There was the issue of a million dollars, and then no million dollars. Then there was the issue of her mom’s health, not to mention how I abruptly deserted her. But somehow, after all this time, I’ve ended up with a beautiful bride-to-be … and Melanie’s mine to keep, forever from here on out.
Epilogue
Melanie
I can’t believe it. Today’s finally the day.
The day when I get the marry the man of my dreams.
I shifted my weight from foot to foot. I was starting to feel nervous.
“It’s almost time, honey.” My mother placed a hand on my shoulder and tried to comfort me. “How do you feel?”
“Well, my heart feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest at any moment and there’s a million and one butterflies fluttering around inside my stomach.”
“That’s normal,” she smiled fondly. “You should have seen me at my wedding. I was an absolute mess.”
“You never talk about your wedding,” I said.
“It was a long, long time ago,” Mom responded with an air of nostalgia. “I was young.”
“Do you miss him?”
Without naming him, my mom knew I was asking about Dad.
“Of course I do,” she said gently. “But I know now that Harvey’s not coming back no matter how much I drink.” She squeezed my shoulder. “Well, I should go take a seat. The ceremony is about to start any minute. You look beautiful.”
“Thanks Mom,” I said softly, watching as my mom departed. With nothing else to do, I started to pace back and forth, the train of my dress following behind me. My mother helped me pick it out. It was an absolutely gorgeous couture gown made of antique lace and seed pearls. Never in my life would I have imagined myself wearing something so beautiful.
Suddenly, Aaron appeared out of thin air.
My heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw him. He looked gorgeous in his grey wedding suit. He almost didn’t look real.
Then it hit me. He wasn’t supposed to see me before the ceremony! I gasped and stepped back.
“What are you doing?” I shook my head. “You’re supposed to be inside, waiting for me at the altar!”
Aaron growled, pulling me into a nearby closet. With a smirk, he closed the door to trap us inside. It was a tight fit.
“Let them wait,” he said in a husky whisper before kissing me ravenously. His lips were hungry against mine as they took me by surprise. Excitement coursed through every inch of my body as I gave into the passion.
Breathless, he pulled away, a grin etched onto his face. “I couldn’t resist getting another taste of my bride.”
“Aaron, should we really be doing this?” I asked as heartbeat raced faster than ever.
“I don’t care. I need you.” He pushed me insistently against the wall and kissed me even harder than before.
Giving into my desires, I tangled my fingers into his hair and pulled him close. Wow. How on Earth had I managed to snag this god of a man as my husband?
He hiked up m
y gown, running his hands along my thighs. “Mmm, someone’s nice and silky down there. I like that.” He hooked his finger around the waistband of my thong, tugging on it slightly.
I moaned softly and wriggled in an attempt to alleviate some of the pressure. “Aaron, don’t,” I pleaded with him.
“Why? What’s wrong? You don’t want to walk through the church without your panties?”
I blushed darkly at the thought. It wouldn’t be the first time Aaron had made me wear a dress with nothing underneath. But doing so in church, among all my family and friends seemed so wrong.
And yet, the thought was sexy as hell.
He tugged on my thong a little harder before letting go, the fabric snapping against my clit.
I let out a little shriek, my pussy pulsing already.
A second later, he slipped his hand underneath the triangle of fabric, finding my swollen cunt. It was already wet and waiting for him.
He pressed a finger against my entrance, teasing me for a moment.
“Aaron, I want you.”
“Hmm?” Aaron asked as if he couldn’t hear me.
Oh, this man was evil.
“What’s the matter?”
I could do nothing but moan as he pumped his finger in and out of me. Aaron was amazing with his fingers. He knew exactly how to touch me to drive me absolutely made. And I couldn’t believe we were doing all this while the church guests were waiting. What would they think if they found out what we were up to?
“Oh god!” I screamed as the pleasure coursed through my veins. I was getting close. Very close.
Quickly, Aaron pulled out his cock. It was rock hard in his hand, already leaking so much that as I watched, a long line of gloopy semen dripped to the floor. He stroked it for a moment, smoothing the wetness over his shaft, before he pressed it against my slit and moved it up and down to get it nice and lubed.
“Please,” I begged. I didn’t know how much more of this teasing I’d be able to take. He was driving me insane with ecstasy.
He grinned. “I love how eager you are.” Then without another word, he plunged into me.
I gasped. Despite all the fun we had together, Aaron still felt massive any time he penetrated me. His cock slid in and out at a quick and dirty pace. He held my arms above my head, pinning me in place as he fucked me harder than ever.
