Chapter Four – Vivianne
Vivianne
Dinner was excellent, and Ladd’s parents were a dream. We were all standing out in the parking lot as I watched Nellie and Gus hug their sons goodbye.
Nellie turned to me and pulled me in for a hug. When she stepped back, she was giving me a full-on toothy grin. “I’m so happy you’ll be coming to River Falls this Christmas. The idea of you being here alone didn’t sit right with me.”
“Thank you for inviting me.”
“And you’re sure you don’t mind helping me with the Christmas Day event?”
“I don’t mind at all. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I do hope you like to bake because we’ll be doing a lot of it. This will be so fun! With me having four boys, I always longed for a girl to bake with me at Christmastime!”
“Okay, Mom,” Ladd said, walking up and gently drawing me to his side. “You’re going to scare her off.”
With a wave of her hand, Nellie replied, “Pish, I’ll do no such thing.”
Gus gave me a quick hug before opening the door to his truck for his wife. With a wave of his hand, he slipped into the driver’s seat, and we watched them drive out of the parking lot.
“They’re not staying the night?” I asked.
“Yeah, they are, then they’ll drive home in the morning,” David replied.
Ladd added, “They do it all the time. Just come in for a day or two.”
“They must miss you guys a lot if they drive here just to have dinner with you.”
Both men chuckled.
“We’re lucky to have parents like Nellie and Gus,” Ladd said, as he held my door open for me. It reminded me of his father doing the same for their mother, and I couldn’t help but smile. The apple clearly hadn’t fallen far from the tree.
Once the three of us were in the car, Ladd asked, “What did you think of them?”
I let out a soft laugh. “I adored them. They’re so sweet, and you can tell they love not only you two, but each other. The way your dad held your mother’s hand was so sweet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my father hold my mom’s hand.”
If Ladd was surprised I’d brought up my parents, he didn’t show it.
“They’ve always been that way,” David said from the back seat. “I can remember one time at school, they came to have lunch with me and Ladd. Dad kissed our mom, and all of our friends yelled about how gross it was. I thought it was sweet, but I went along with the guys.”
Ladd laughed. “I remember that. I also recall that on more than one occasion, a friend of mine told me how lucky I was to have my parents. They’re not afraid to show their love for one another.
By the time we got to high school, our friends were so used to it that they never thought twice about it when our dad came in from the field and swept Mom into a hug and kissed her.
Or started to dance with her in the middle of the kitchen if their song came on. ”
David laughed. “They have more than one song, too!”
I felt pressure in my chest…and realized what I was feeling was jealousy. The most I ever saw my father and mother do was give each other a small peck in the morning.
“That’s nice that you all grew up in such a loving house.”
“I take it you didn’t?” David asked.
With a lump in my throat, I managed to get out three words. “No, I didn’t.”
“David, you want to go back to the house, or should I drop you off somewhere else?” Ladd asked, clearly changing the subject.
“Home is cool.”
Ladd headed toward their place and pulled into the driveway to park.
“See you tomorrow,” David said as he got out. “See ya around, Vivianne!”
“Bye, David,” I replied, as he headed toward the house. Turning to Ladd, I smiled. “You’re staying the night?”
“Hell yes, I am. An empty house to ourselves? That’s a no-brainer.” We drove for a few minutes in silence before Ladd asked, “So you really don’t mind coming to River Falls for Christmas?”
Smiling, I reached for his hand. “I’m honored your mother invited me. I’m looking forward to seeing what she does for the kids at the orphanage.”
“It’s only her second year doing this. Last year was a huge success, and she learned a lot, so I’m sure this year will be even better. Thank you for helping her.”
“She doesn’t have to pay me, though. I want to help. I wouldn’t really make much money here, anyway. Christmas week is incredibly slow since most families are eating at home for the holidays.”
He squeezed my hand. “She’ll insist on paying you, so I wouldn’t even argue with her about it.”
I let out a small giggle. “I like how she said I could stay in the guest bedroom.”
He glanced my way quickly. “You caught that, huh?”
“I did. As if I would even think of staying with you in the same bed while at your parents’ house.”
Ladd laughed, and it made my insides tighten with desire. Lord, how this man made me want him all the time.
“That would be a little weird. The barn, however…I won’t make any promises.”
I huffed. “How many other girls have you brought to the barn to make out with?”
“None.”
“None? Ladd Wilde, do not even play that game with me.”
He smiled. “I’m not lying. I’ve never even brought a girl home to meet my mother and father. Granted, everyone knows everyone pretty much in River Falls. But no, there was never anyone serious. I dated, don’t get me wrong, but no one ever made me want more. That is, until I saw you.”
My stomach swooped. “You know how to make a girl feel good.”
Ladd looked at me and winked. “The only girl I want to make feel good is you.”
“I see what you did there. I, ummm, really enjoyed earlier in the shower a lot.” My mind was still stuck on my parents, thanks to David’s question…and I needed to get them out of my headspace. “I want it fast and hard again, Ladd.”
A small moan slipped through his soft lips. “Don’t make me speed back to your place, Viv.”
Once we got back to my house, it didn’t take Ladd long before he was indeed making me feel all kinds of things. We hardly made it in through the door before he had me pressed against a wall, my panties pulled to the side, his jeans open, and his dick positioned at my entrance.
“I’ve been thinking about being inside of you all through dinner,” he said as he teased me with the tip of his cock.
“Yes! Please, Ladd, please. I need you right now.”
“Are you sure? We can go to your room. I can get a condom.”
“Fuck me, Ladd. Fuck me like you did earlier. I need to forget.”
The words slipped out before I could stop them, but Ladd didn’t even hesitate. He pushed inside me fast and hard, just the way I asked, causing me to cry out in pleasure.
“Don’t stop! I want all of you.”
“Jesus, Viv,” Ladd breathed before he pressed his mouth to mine and started to kiss me as he moved. It felt like heaven, having him inside me with no barriers. I knew it was a risk, him coming inside of me, but I needed this. I needed him.
“Yes! Yes! Oh God, I’m so close. Don’t stop!”
He pounded into me, and my orgasm was right on the edge, teasing me until I felt like I might go mad. The raw, passionate way Ladd moved in and out of me was so freaking hot. I loved the slow way he typically made love to me, but today I needed it faster. Harder. Deeper. God, I needed him deeper.
He gripped my ass and lifted me, pressing into me even farther. He tilted my body, as if he’d read my mind and knew what I needed, hitting a spot that nearly had my soul leaving my body. It felt so good. I screamed out his name as my orgasm played out.
“Fuck, you’re squeezing me, Viv. I’m going to come.”
“Yes. Ladd, come with me!” I somehow managed to get out. I was surprised by how vocal I was with my desires, but it felt right. It always felt right with Ladd.
Once I felt him stop moving, I relaxed. Ladd pulled out of me and gently set me on the floor. My legs felt like they were about to give out, and I leaned against him.
“Jesus fucking hell. That was hot, Viv.”
I drew in a deep breath and exhaled. “It was.”
“I hope your roommates go out of town more often.”
We both laughed.
“I need something sweet to eat,” I said, as I lifted my head and looked up into his beautiful eyes.
“Food? We just ate!”
“Well, hot sex makes me snacky.”
“Do you want to go clean up?” he asked, looking down at his dick, still hard and outside of his pants.
I wasn’t sure what came over me, but I dropped to my knees and took him into my mouth. I could taste the mixture of him and me, and it caused me to moan.
“Oh fuck,” he swore, his hands sliding into my hair. “Viv, I don’t think I can…”
His words faded off as I took him deeper. It was the first time I’d ever done this, but I remembered my friend Elsie in high school giving us all a demonstration on how to give a guy a blow job, using her mother’s cucumbers she’d just gotten out of her garden that very day.
“Viv…shit. Viv, what in the hell is happening? Oh fuck, I’m coming again!”
I felt his hot seed hit the back of my throat, and I swallowed quickly as I kept working him. It didn’t taste very good, and that made me wonder if he liked the taste of me. But I pushed the thought away and kept working him until he took me by my shoulders and pulled me up.
“Shit. That felt…I didn’t think I could… You drive me fucking mad with desire, do you know that?” he asked, smiling at me.
“Maybe you could return the favor.”
He grinned. “I thought you were snacky?”
Taking his hand, I led him toward my bedroom. “It can wait.”
The rest of November and the beginning of December were crazy with school and work. I’d picked up as many extra shifts as possible so I could put money away to buy gifts for Ladd’s family. He’d told me no one would expect a single thing from me, but it wouldn’t feel right not to buy them anything.
The downside to all the working and school was that I hadn’t had time to go shopping for said gifts. I was hoping Ladd wasn’t steering me wrong when he said I could shop in River Falls or the next town over.
“Are you excited to see the ranch?” Ladd asked.
“I’m excited to see it all! The town, the ranch, your childhood stomping grounds.”
He laughed. “River Falls is one of a kind.”
