I thrust a finger into her depths, then another, scissoring them to stretch her tiny little pussy.
“Ah,” she moaned, lifting her hips into my hand. “More, please, Henry. I need you.”
“Gretchen, I’m going to tear your pussy up but I’m trying to keep my shit together.”
“It’s going to hurt regardless. Fuck me, anyway.” Damn, did she have to sound so needy. I could barely contain myself. Settling between her thighs, my cock coated her mound with my pre-cum.
“Relax, Gretchen.” She did just that as her hands moved to her breasts, stroking the firm flesh and tweaking her nipples. “Fuck, you’re trying to make me come before I’m in you.”
“Then come inside me already. I can’t even describe how much I want to feel you dominate me, Henry. Climb over me and protect me like you did in the forest.”
I lined my cock up with her entrance and pushed my way inch by inch into her constricting pussy. My tip felt her barrier and I took a breath, then pushed through. She gasped and our eyes locked, but she smiled. “I feel so full.”
“That’s because my cock was born to own your womb. Are you ready to give me babies?”
“I have been.”
“Good, because there’ll never be anything between us.” I grunted and started to pull out and push back in. My pace steadily quickened as her nails dug into my shoulders. I growled and sucked her berry nipples into my mouth as my hips ground into hers. Our bodies were covered in a layer of sweat which only made our movements perfectly in sync. Her womb gripped my cock like a vise, releasing it just enough before clenching again.
“I’m coming,” she cried. Her hands dug into my hair and she wrapped her thighs around my ass. I lost control and started rutting hard, coming with her and calling her name.
“I love you, Gretchen,” I panted, looking down into her flushed face.
“I love you too, Henry. Damn, that was fucking incredible,” she whispered, her eyes sleepy and her grin big. I smiled to myself, proud that I fucked her to sleep. Damn, I couldn’t wait to do it again. Well, after I took a nap, because she wore me out.
****
We woke up twice before the sun came up, but only made love once more. Her pussy was too sore for a third round, so I needed to give her a break. Well, just for a bit. I let her sleep, while I showered and started a meal for us. I brought her breakfast in bed.
“Wow, a girl could get used to it.”
“I’m a chef and I love you, so get used to it,” I answered, kissing her lips. Then I turned and walked out the door.
A few hours of learning every inch of her wasn’t enough, but life intruded and I had a restaurant to run and Gretchen had to get her things from the hotel. I was going with her because I couldn’t let her out of my sight again. We haven’t talked about what happened, but it no longer mattered to me anymore. She was mine and only mine.
“Are you ready?” I shouted from downstairs. I refused to be in the bedroom while she got dressed. I’d more than likely take her again and that just wouldn’t be smart. Her checkout time was in an hour and I needed to prep for tonight.
“I’ll be right there,” she called out. I groaned as she walked down with her dress on. I’d been so consumed with making her mine that I didn’t even notice it last night, but damn, if I had, she wouldn’t have made it out of the restaurant. I would have tossed her on a table and drilled into her womb, marking my territory like a wild animal.
“You are perfect. We have to get married right away, Gretchen. I can’t let anyone try and take you away from me again.” I pulled her to me and kissed her glossy pink lips. Stepping back just enough to take in her flushed face, I noticed she must have on that stuff that doesn’t wipe off. I felt like it was a challenge, so I made it a goal to kiss her all day. Or it could be that I just wanted to kiss her all day.
“Okay,” she breathily responded. Her eyes were bright and smiling.
I managed to get us to the hotel with twenty minutes to spare. We walked to the elevator only to have some bitch ass college kid checking out her ass. I lost it.
“Do you got a fucking problem?” I asked, slamming him against the wall with my forearm pinned to his throat.
“Um no,” he stuttered.
“You were checking out her ass like I couldn’t fucking see that shit. Don’t ever disrespect my woman again, or I’ll bury you. I know a really nice place in the woods.”
“Come on, Henry. He’s not worth it.”
I dropped my arm and took Gretchen’s hand, stepping into the elevator without taking my eyes off the fucker who was cowering now.
“You shouldn’t have done that. You could be sued, Henry.”
“I don’t give a fuck. I let someone treat you like shit before and I won’t let it happen again. And I sure as fuck am not going to let a little bitch think he can have you. You’re mine and everyone better learn it quick.”
As soon as I got her in the room, I couldn’t wait. My adrenaline was high and my desire to prove who she belonged to was out of bounds. I felt nuttier than I was acting, but I had no intentions of apologizing for it. That dress had to come off and I needed to be balls deep inside her to feel human again.
“This has to go,” I told her. She didn’t even hesitate to lift it straight off. Her brow arching at me. I closed the distance and cupped her pussy. Fuck me, she was soaked. “You liked that, didn’t you?”
She nodded before closing her eyes and parting her lips. My fingers slipped under her panties, rubbing her pussy. I pushed one finger inside, stroking and stretching her. She was about to come, but I wanted her to get off on my cock instead. I spun her around. “Bend over, baby.” She did so, arching her ass and turning her head to give me a smirk. “You know I love this ass. I don’t like anyone else looking at what’s mine, but I know they can’t help it when it’s fucking magnificent.” I leaned down and bit her cheek. She gasped and pushed her ass out. “Get on the bed. All fours.” I undid my pants and stroked my cock, then pushed two fingers into her pussy, testing her need. “This is going to be quick. I can already feel you throbbing around my fingers and I’m hard enough to pound nails.” She clenched at my words, and I knew if I didn’t get in her now, she’d come on my fingers. I removed them and placed my cock at her entrance, thrusting forward and claiming her pussy.
“Ah,” she moaned. I wrapped one arm around her waist and another around her tits and pumped into her. Our bodies rocked in time as our flesh slapped against each other. I pinched her hard nipple, sending pleasure straight to her core. She tightened around my length coming hard on me. I straightened and grasped her hips, fucking into her like a wild man until I filled her with my seed. Pulling out, I moved her panties back in place and smacked her ass.
Gretchen stood and faced me. Leaning in, she murmured in my ear, “Thank you, baby.”
“Thank you. Now let’s get going before I fuck you for thanking me like that.”
She winked then reached for her suitcase. It took about five minutes for her to gather everything. Mr. Hardy left yesterday and asked us to invite him to the wedding. He had some business to handle, but promised to be back in time.
Gretchen
I couldn’t believe that he cut out the piece of bark he’d written, H & G Was Here, on. I probably looked at it ten times since I entered the restaurant. “Hello, Gretchen.” I turned to see a female in a chef uniform smiling at me. Jealousy pumped through me because not only did she work with Henry, she was beautiful.
I swallowed hard, then answered, “Hello, Dina.” Her name had been sewn into her chef coat.
“Henry asked me to tell you to come into the kitchen,” she said, tilting her head in that direction.
“Oh, I didn’t think I was allowed in there.” When we first arrived, he had me take a seat and had a woman server named Sara get me a drink. He had a staff meeting to handle and it would be awhile before he finished.
She shook her head, her red curls bouncing perfectly. “You are allowed all over this pl
ace. One, you’re his woman and two, this place has your name, or rather nickname, all over it.” I guess she had a point, but I didn’t know she knew it was me. The door chimed and we both looked that way.
“Oh, well, well, well.” The guy from last night walked up to us with his arm extended, taking my hand. “I’m Colton James.”
This was his cousin that Henry warned me to stay away from or he’d kill him. He told me that Colton walked into the kitchen goading Henry and Dina about me. “Ignore him. He only wants to tick the boss off.”
He slid his arm around Dina. “It’s fun and it worked on you, baby.”
“Shut up. I don’t have time for you.” Dina swatted his arm away then turned back to address me, “Don’t forget Henry wants you back there.”
I shook my head at the two. Colton liked her, but it seemed she wasn’t giving him the time of day, or she was just pretending to give him a hard time. He had smooth talker written all over him.
I walked to the kitchen and when I pushed open the swinging door, I saw a large crowd of workers. I could feel Dina and Colton come in behind me and I wondered what was going on. I had a feeling what it could be, but I could never hope that he would ask. The sea of white shirts cleared to see Henry standing there with a cake in front of him that looked like a candy heart and it was green. It read: Will U Marry Me? I looked up at him, thinking about that brief moment before we were separated all those years ago. Tears flowed from my eyes.
“Yes, Henry.” I sobbed and wiped my tears, then felt him grab my hand. Looking into his eyes. “I love you so much. From that first moment, I loved you.” He slid a heavy ring onto my left hand. I gasped at the size and how green it was. A deep emerald heart shaped stone with diamonds along the border. My eyes darted back to his and before I could protest the size, he kissed me. I was a mushy mess. My sweet hero. Over the years, I had daydreamed about him saying those words to me as I looked at the candy heart.
A roar of applause erupted. I blushed and pushed my face against his chest. He tipped my chin and smiled down at me. “Everyone, excuse us.” Still holding my hand, he led me to a small office, closing the door behind us.
“Thank you, Gretchen,” he whispered against my ear. I shivered with his words.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m the one who’s thankful.”
“The fuck I don’t. I fell in love with you from that first glance. I’ve lived a celibate life because I hoped you’d come into my world and love me back. You’ve made all of this worth it. The hard work, the years without you, the pain is all better now that you’re here and love me.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Soon, you’ll be saying that. Now you can stay in here because those skin-tight jeans may make me kill someone tonight.”
“You need to behave at your restaurant. You don’t want to be sued. I don’t want you to be. Even if you don’t you could lose business from being a possessive boyfriend.”
“Soon-to-be husband, Gretchen.”
“Okay, my dear love. Husband. Now, please behave. I’ve got a lot to do. I don’t live here.”
“I know. I had a lovely conversation with Hardy and he’s having your things packed and sent here this week.”
“Wow. I don’t get a say in it?” I asked, arching my brows at him.
“You did when you said yes.” He had a point, a very valid one, but I had to at least pretend to object to his caveman ways. I learned a lot from Aunt Rebecca. She was amazing for a motherlike figure. I never had someone who genuinely cared for me.
“Fine, well. I’m hungry, so get to work,” I tossed out. I had to call and tell her the news. She was going to freak unless she already knew. I slipped up and told her about my feelings for Henry when she tried to get me to date.
“Certainly, sweetheart. Anything in particular?” He pulled me in for another kiss.
I bit back the need to say I wanted him for dinner. “A chicken dish, but take care of your people first.”
“You’re my people. I’ll have it done shortly. Fuck, I love you. Please don’t run away.”
“I’ll be here.” He kissed me once more before dashing out the door.
I stayed in his office for over an hour. Dina brought me a dish so Henry wasn't tempted to stay. During that time, I managed to call Aunt Rebecca and schedule several items for the wedding. Apparently, Henry told them to be ready for it in 2 weeks. I wanted the ceremony to be at the cottage and Ben said it would be doable. My insides were in knots at the idea of something going wrong. They were able to cordon off the area to protect us from any wild animals.
I was about to go out and see if anyone needed any help when Colton walked in. "Hey, Gretel. I'm going to need that chair. It's time for me to handle payroll."
"I didn't know you worked here like that.”
“I really don't, but Henry couldn't find someone he trusted to handle the office management part of the business. He does the inventory and I take care of the other paperwork."
"Well I'm bored. I can help if you need me. I only have my associate’s in business management though."
"That works for me. I can show you some stuff. Henry shouldn't mind since he has to be here four nights a week. We're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and once a week Dina takes the reins.”
"Why those days?"
"Because most places are closed on Sundays. If we had more urging then we'd add staff and open more evenings, as well as earlier."
"Okay, well since I'm sure he's going to keep me attached to his hip, then teach on." I pulled up the other chair next to him and leaned in to watch. We were five minutes in when Henry appeared. "What's going on?" I heard a faint bit of jealousy in his words.
"I'm hiring Gretel to handle the office work. We just started training."
“That’s not a problem, is it?”
“No…” he grumbled.
“If it is…”
“Gretchen, it’s not. Well, except that this fucker is teaching you.” He looked at Colton and gave him a warning, “Keep your overgrown hands off her.”
“Ha. Hank, just chill. Calm down the jealousy. I’ve got my eyes focused on Ms. Snooty out there.”
“Good.” I was right about the two of them which gave me a little relief when it came to Dina working alongside Henry. This relationship was all new to me, even though I’d been thinking and dreaming about him for years.
A knock at the door, interrupted us and Henry opened it, scowling at the man who had panic etched all over his expression. The front of his shirt was covered with a creamy sauce or soup. I couldn’t tell which from my vantage point. “Sir, we had a mishap with the alfredo sauce. We need you out here.”
“I’m coming, Rod.” He bent down and kissed me smack on the lips before leaving me to work.
Once he was out the door, Colton was staring at me. “What gives?” I asked with my brow cocked and my mind defensive. I knew he was all about teasing his cousin, but I wouldn’t do anything to hurt Henry even as a joke.
He cracked a huge grin, then hugged me and said, “Thanks. You don’t know what it’s like to see that smile on his face. Nothing has brought it back until he saw you at that table.”
“I could say the same for me. I am nothing without him. I’ve missed him for so long I can’t even describe it. In fact, I hope to never be without him again. Let’s get back to work before I let my head go to all the negative possibilities.”
“That’s cool. This software notes every sign in and out of each employee. Henry signs in because we like to see the hours and if we need to add more cooks to the staff.” I nodded, thankful that the software was the straightforward data entry type. It didn’t have ninety different tasks to do before submitting checks for deposit. I didn’t have this specific experience, but my work with a computer over the past four years had been extensive.
By the time we were ready to go home, Henry was covered in different foods. It was a busy and error filled kitchen tonight. One employee even walked out. Apparently, she was a s
erver who had a crush on Henry. I was glad I missed what happened or I would have punched her in the face. Dina caught her trying to flirt with him and he was holding back his temper. The guy covered in sauce was her victim after she intentionally knocked the sauce off the stove. Thankfully, he’d only been caught with a cast off because he would have had massive burns otherwise.
Chapter 5
Henry
Once we were finally home for the night I hopped into the shower. She was beat and so was I, but I had the smell of the kitchen all over me. I was nearly done when my sexy little fiancé walked into the bathroom stark naked. She didn’t ask to join me, she just did. I bit my lip, hoping to stop the need to immediately come at the bold fucking move and the curves of her luscious body.
I didn’t have the skills yet to fuck her in the shower, but I planned to get her so damn worked up that as soon as we hit the mattress she was coming for me. Her smaller frame stepped in front of me, taking over the spray from the jets and I just stood back and watched as the water cascaded down her ass. One day I was going there too. I wanted to own every part of her. She lathered up her hands with the bar of soap and started trailing it over her wet flesh. I swallowed back the breath I’d been holding. I slipped my hands around her waist, dragging a gasp from her lips. “Fuck, you’re too sexy not to touch.” I leaned over her shoulder, kissing it. She tilted it, pulling her hair to the side and giving me complete access to her pulse. “I live for you and only you, Gretchen.” My tongue tasted the dip in her collar, licking off beads of water.
“I belong to you—body and soul, Henry,” she murmured, her breathing growing heavy. I slid my fingers lower, dipping into her pussy. She clenched around my digits, gripping them and thrusting her hips forward. Her hands reached behind me and grasped my thighs. My hardened cock pulsed against her ass, loving her need for support as she fucked my fingers. I bit her shoulder and she stilled as her orgasm slammed into her.
