“How are you, Lynn?” he asks, smiling with a cup of coffee already in his hands. He’s handsome and sweet, but I’ve never had feelings for him.
“I’m fine.”
“You don’t look fine. Let me get you a coffee.” He presses his hand to the small of my back and walks me to the order line.
“What are you doing here?” I question. It’s a long way off from Almont and expensive.
“Didn’t your mom tell you I was coming?”
It’s our turn before I can answer. “A tall café mocha, please,” I say. I’m about to pay, but Rick takes care of it, stopping my hand from reaching out, giving me a look to let it go.
“Yeah, but I ignore her rantings about us getting married.”
The girl hands me my coffee and then we walk to a high table and take a seat. He sighs, taking a deep breath. “About that…I hope this doesn’t come off like an asshole, but I think of you as just a friend.”
“It doesn’t. I feel the same way. I hope you didn’t come all this way to tell me that.”
“I didn’t. I might not have mentioned it before, but I’ve been trying to get out of Almont even longer than you. I’ve gotten my big break and I’m a game developer. I’m here for a conference and then I’m moving out of Almont although I haven’t decided where yet. I figured with all the talk about us getting together in town that you should at least hear it from me first.”
“Thank you.” I give him a hug and then squeal at his success. “I’m so proud of you, Rick.” We talk for another twenty minutes before he has to go, so we part ways and agree to stay friends. As he goes, I feel the heavy weight of my misery. My shoulders slump and I head back to my apartment.
I fall into a fitful sleep when I hear pounding on my door. I think it’s the front door, but then it’s too close. My eyes pop open to see Grant standing in my bedroom with his suit looking completely disheveled.
“Doll. I need you to come back to me.” There’s a vulnerability in his voice that does something to my heart, but it’s not enough. I can’t go back to a business deal.
“I’m sorry Mr. Masterson, but I can’t give you a baby.”
“Why not? Is there something wrong?”
“Yes, I realized that I’m not heartless enough to give up my own child for money. I can’t separate my heart from a piece of me, so you’ll have to find another woman. I’m sure thousands would take the offer. I still have most of your money to return to you.”
“I don’t want the fucking money, Doll. I want you. I’ve always wanted you. From the second you crossed my path I knew I had to make you my wife and put my baby inside you.”
“Why didn’t you just ask me out? Why the contract?”
“Call me crazy, but I couldn’t let you get away. I had to have a reason to have you by my side without kidnapping you.” I’m trying to stop myself from falling for his lines. True or not, I hardly know him, but he looks so freaking sexy. “I knew if I told you that I’d fallen madly in love with you from one look that you’d think I was nuts or nothing but a player. I’m neither of those. Well, I’ve felt insane since I met you, but I’m not a player. In fact, well…you weren’t the only one saving yourself that night. I hadn’t kissed anyone since I was sixteen years old and that was disastrous. I started working the very next day and never stopped even throughout college.”
“If you felt like that why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you come after me?”
“I tried to give you time. I tried to be the better man after you walked away. I knew I’d been a dick that day, but that’s because even though you were on your period I still wanted you to the point of pain. Then you’d know that it wasn’t just about the contract. I tried to get some work done so I could take time off for you. I’ve been working nonstop since the day after you left. I made sure my company was running smoothly, so I could take a month to show you how much we were perfect for each other.” He caresses my cheek, brushing his fingers over me.
“Why today?” I stammer out.
“I’d been in California on a business trip, when my security guard sent me footage of you and Ricky together. I had to get you to pick me over him. I flew back as fast as I could and came straight here.”
“Ricky? Rick and I aren’t together, and we never were. Wait! How do you know about him?”
“Your mother messaged you that first night on your old phone talking about your engagement.”
“That’s the lie? You thought I was engaged?” He nods sheepishly. “She’s nuts. He was the town’s most eligible bachelor and she thought I should marry him. We’re friends and nothing more. Since he was in town he just wanted to break it to me that he didn’t have feelings for me like that. We talked and laughed off my mother’s fantasies.”
“Oh, so you’re not going to marry him?” Relief washes over his expression and his shoulders fall without the stress. My broken phone. Holy shit. He’s been a jealous nut.
“No.” I bite my lip. “I’m not in love with him.”
“Could you ever love me?”
“I’m already there, Grant. I’ve fallen in love with your grumpy, growly sexy ass when you kissed me.”
“Thank fuck—because kidnapping was my last option.”
“Sounds like some kinky fun, Mr. Masterson.”
He wags his brows then stands and walks to the door, closing it and shoving a chair under the handle. “No screaming, little Doll.” I find myself on my feet, ready to run or at least pretend, but he’s got me in his arms. He yanks his tie off his neck and grabs my wrists, sliding the silky material over my skin. “Are you going to behave, Doll?”
“No.”
“I guess we’re going to do this the hard way.” His mouth comes down on mine, kissing me until my panties are soaked and I’m panting wildly for air. Grant roughly pulls back as if he had to force himself to release my mouth and then he ties the silk gently around my wrists. With a smirk, he shoves me onto my stomach on the bed with my locked hands over my head, and that’s when I spot the ring on my finger. A massive diamond sits on my ring finger, shining with just the moonlight peeking through the room.
“Oh no. What are you going to do to me?” I ask, my voice shaking with need. I had no idea I’d get off on this, but then again the man sends me into a horny frenzy with just a look. He really loves me. I clench my pussy to the rapid beating of my heart.
He climbs over me, his legs straddling mine. Leaning in, he huskily whispers, “I’m going to fuck you, roughly and then kidnap you to Vegas where I plan to force you into marriage.”
He grinds his hard cock against my ass. I pop my butt back, wanting to feel more of him, but he backs off for a moment. I want to whine until he yanks down my panties and then spanks my ass. I yelp and then moan. He spanks the other cheek and I bite my tongue just in case my roommates hear.
“Bad girl, you’re not supposed to enjoy this,” he grunts as I hear his belt being undone. The sound of the leather being pulled forcefully through the loops sends another gush of liquid out of me.
I can’t help it and tease my sexy man because I’ve missed him so much. “Pity, I’ve missed your big cock deep inside of me, tearing me apart like a possessive beast.”
“Fuck, you’re killing me, Doll.” Suddenly he thrusts two fingers into my pussy from behind. “You’re drenched for me.” His mouth comes down on my neck then slowly skims my spine and over my ass. Once he gets to my cheeks, he parts them and stuffs his tongue into my slit. I can’t contain the pleasure and cry out, coming on his tongue and fingers. As I come down, he shoves his cock deep into me and I’m on the verge of coming again.
“Oh my God. I’m so full.”
“That you are and soon you’ll be full of every fucking drop of come. You’re mine to do whatever I want with, Doll.” He bites my neck and then sucks the same spot, marking me as he works me out, stretching my pussy with his thick shaft. I press my ass up as he pulls out and slams back in. He curls my hair around his fist, gripping it tight while
driving deep into me.
“Fuck, Grant. Yes. I love you,” I shout out, creaming on him.
“I love you, Gwendolyn,” he bellows throughout the room so I’m sure if my friends are here they heard him as he floods my womb with his seed. “Marry me.”
“Yes, Grant.”
He pulls out and wraps his arms around me as we lay on the bed. “Just know the marriage contract is unbreakable.”
“I like the terms of this new deal.” I moan, cuddling into his chest and his still hard cock and fall asleep.
The next thing I know when I wake up, we’re not in my room, but on a private plane.
“Did you really kidnap me?”
“Let’s just say, I’m holding my end of the deal and you were napping so prettily, I didn’t want to wake you up.”
“Just wake me up for the wedding.” I press my head onto his chest as we sit side by side on the way to Vegas.
Epilogue
Grant
After the wedding we stop in Almont because I wanted to see her hometown and introduce myself to her parents. The town’s small. Like fucking small. I’ve never seen anything like this, but that explains my girls urgency to sell her womb. Too bad it’s all mine. I lick my lips as I stare at her. She’s nervous, nibbling on her bottom lip. It’s sick, but it reminds me of the day we met.
“Doll, it’s going to be fine.” I look around and feel the despair from all of the dilapidation. “Now, your plan makes a lot more sense.”
“It’s pretty bad.”
“I’m a New Yorker, love. Not every neighborhood looks like ours.”
“We’re on the block now,” she says just above a whisper. “Here.” She points. I nod and pull up next to the driveway. It’s a bit rundown, but it looks like it’s well kept. The lawn out front doesn’t look bad. She only told her mother she was coming home. I’m supposed to be a surprise. There’s a nice Dodge Ram in the driveway which catches my Doll off guard.
Then that’s when I see Henrick Gore stepping outside. “Lynn,” he calls out, giving her a hug, lifting her off the ground. I let out a growl and pull my wife to my side.
Doll slaps my chest. “Behave.”
“I don’t like any man’s hands on you.”
“I’m Henrick Gore. Lynn’s friend.” He sticks his hand out.
I shake it with a firmer grip. “I’m Grant Masterson, Gwendolyn’s husband.” She might tell me there’s nothing there, but the thought that everyone wanted them together pisses me off.
“Well, that’s going to be a shocker. I’ve got to go inside to see this.” He leans toward Gwendolyn and whispers loud enough for both of us to hear. “Lynn, I got your back.”
We enter and Doll makes introductions, but her dad isn’t there. I don’t ask questions because I frankly don’t like the guy after learning about her additional half-siblings. “What about Ricky? You’re breaking his heart after he chased you to New York.”
“Mother, Rick and I were never going to happen.”
“No offense, Gore, but Mrs. Franks, I am worth much more than Ricky is. Besides, I’m in love with her. Although I don’t think that matters to you. You want her to be married to someone who can give her nicer things.”
She opens and closes her mouth several times. “Doll, it’s your choice.” My beautiful wife reaches up on her tippy toes and whispers in my ear, “I love you. The small stipend is the best option.”
“As you wish.” I turn back to her parents. “My wife says that although she has no intention of ever coming back here. We’ll give you a monthly allowance of a thousand dollars to help you pull yourselves out of the hole and a one-time payment of five thousand dollars.”
“Oh my,” her mother gasps out. She reaches out and hugs my Doll. My wife’s mood changes—she’s happy. We don’t stay because I want to take my wife on our honeymoon.
As we step outside, Gore says, “That’s extremely generous of you even though she doesn’t deserve it.”
“She’s a weak woman, but she did want the best for her daughter. A life in poverty will force people to make desperate choices. You’re the best the town has to offer, so why not want you two together. Although if you ever try to come between my wife and me, I’ll destroy you.”
“Understood. You’re a good guy, Masterson.”
“Thanks. Now, if you’ll excuse us. We have a baby to make.” I snatch up my wife and carry her to our rental and set her inside. “I love you, Doll. You’re everything to me.”
“I’m so glad you made me do this the hard way.”
Six Years Later
Grant
“We’re going to be late, Doll,” I holler, knocking on the bathroom door. She’s running late to her own graduation because she got a little horny this morning. I know it’s baby number three that has her greedy for my steel rod. She bounces on it at least twice a day.
“I’m hurrying. Oh my goodness. I need to really stay off your dick,” she screams through the door as she fixes her hair.
“Bite your tongue, woman. I want you to live on my cock, and you do too.”
She giggles and scurries out of the bathroom. My sister already has our son and daughter in the limo waiting for us. We finally make it downstairs and into the limo. I grab my princess, who’s awake and cooing. At only six months old, she’s a perfect replica of her mother. Turning to my wife, I kiss her lips and smile at how beautiful she looks without trying. I’m a lucky man.
Three long hours later, I get to kiss and congratulate my wife for getting her law degree.
We come home to a chorus of shouts, “Surprise,” as we walk into the house. We threw my wife a graduation party. The moment Doll and I met, I had no idea what would happen and how I wasn’t the only one to fall. Every single one of my friends felt cupid’s arrow. Stefano, Gerald, Royce, and Preston lost their bachelor status almost at the same damn time. Now our families are multiplying.
I hold onto Doll’s waist as I talk to Stefano. She has on a black lace dress that has a nude inner layer so no one can see her goodies. Her round belly, looking adorably sexy, surrounded by all that lace.
“So why contract law, Gwen?” Stefano asks with his eyes on his wife instead of Gwendolyn’s like manners would dictate. He’s lucky I understand the situation when it comes to being obsessed with one’s wife.
“I’ve had this strange fascination with contracts and sealing deals.” As she finishes, she looks up at me with a knowing smirk. Fuck, my dick is going to be delightfully sore tonight.
I lean in and whisper, “Mrs. Masterson, I’d love to use your services. I have a deal I’d like to discuss with you.”
“I love your deals, Grant,” she moans, pressing her hand to my chest. We excuse ourselves, and I carry my beloved to our bedroom for a quick rendezvous.
