Chapter Ten
Melanie
I scream as his fingers push into my slit. Every pump of his digits sends more pleasure through me. “Rett,” I moan over and over, gripping the expensive, cool sheets. He presses his face harder into my thigh, biting me. My orgasm shoots through my entire body, causing my back to arch and my hips to roll. I shout his name so loudly that I panic, thinking someone will hear me, so I clamp my hand over my mouth.
“Baby girl, don’t be quiet. This isn’t the place to keep those cries and moans silent. I want to hear you shake the rafters.” He crawls up my body until he’s completely on top of me, and then, smiling down at me, he presses his length right at my entrance. “Are you ready to give me some more?”
“Yes,” I answered greedily, pulling him to me for a kiss. He growls and takes my mouth in a penetrating kiss before pushing the tip inside. My breath is stolen as he slides all the way into me, claiming my virginity. “Oh God,” I sigh, unable to move. He freezes, staring into my eyes.
“I’m sorry.” He kisses my lips and my cheeks.
“It’s fine, Will. I promise. You’re just enormously large.”
He chuckles and kisses me. “Thank you.”
“Thank you,” I purr, loving the fullness even though it’s practically splitting me in two. My hands cling to his shoulders as he moves slowly in and out until I move with him. Our bodies begin to get wet with sweat as we glide together.
“Fuck, your voice is so damn sexy as hell when you’re heated.” Does he have any idea how deep his voice is now or how it makes my body vibrate when he speaks?
“You’re one to talk, my sexy man.” My goodness, the smile on his face is enough to turn me on.
“Babe, I’m doing my best not to come this second. Be a good girl and tell me what you need.”
“You’re doing a good job like that, Rett. Fuck me.” He slams his pretty blues shut and his jaw clenches tight before he begins pumping faster into me. We ride together, but I’ve asked for more than I can take and more than he can handle.
“Shit, baby girl. Please tell me you’re close.”
“I’m not, but I don’t need to be. I just came. I need you to come and fill me up. God, I need it more than you know, Rett. I’ve dreamed about this.” He groans, then slows his pace and switches his movements. He rolls his hips, dipping his head and sucking my nipple into his mouth while his fingers slide up and down my hips. Oh God—my pain went completely away and I’m on the edge.
“I’m not giving up, Melanie. My woman isn’t going to be satisfied with second best. You always come first. Always.” Then his finger slips over my bud, sending me over the precipice.
“I’m coming, Rett. I’m coming again. Holy hell,” I shout, scratching down his back until my release comes to an end. Will grips the headboard and roughly pounds into my pussy several more times, coming deep inside of me with a loud roar.
“Fuck, I can’t believe it. Wow. Just wow,” he sighs, completely out of breath. I wipe the sweat and hair off my forehead and relax as he pulls out and lies beside me on the bed. Will wraps the covers around us and then pulls me on top of his chest. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for so damn long.”
“The sex was amazing.”
“I meant this, Lanie. The chance to hold you in my arms.” He kisses my forehead, and we lie there in peaceful silence for a long time.
I’m wrapped up in the sheets when his phone rings. “It’s your father,” he says.
“Oh God.” I’m sure all the color drains from my face.
“Relax. I’ll answer it, and you get dressed.”
“Hello,” he says with the coolest, calmest tone, like we didn’t just have sex for the first time.
“Where is my daughter?” my father barks over the phone. He’s so loud that I can hear him.
“She’s right next to me. Why are you yelling?”
“Because I know where you are.”
“And? I’m pretty sure you know where we are going to be for the rest of our lives. I thought we discussed this.”
“I want to speak to Melanie.”
“When you calm down. It’s her birthday, and she should be happy. Call back when your temper is regulated.” He ends the call, and I gasp.
“I can’t believe you just hung up on my dad.”
“Melanie, I might have avoided our relationship because I was afraid of this.” I pointed to the bed. “But I’m not afraid of taking care of your needs, and that includes your feelings. Today is special, and there is a lot planned for today. I won’t let your father’s temper get in the way. I hoped that what we just did would have ended our night, but we can’t change that now.”
“I’m kind of glad it happened now.”
“Why?”
“The anticipation is over.”
“True. He’s calling again.”
“Okay. I’ll take it.” He hands me the phone. “Hi, Daddy.”
“Princess, how are you?”
“I’m fine. Will and I spoke. You were right about everything, and although I had my reservations, we made up and I’m happy. He says he has a day planned for my birthday.”
Will whispers, “They’re included as well.”
“He says you’re included as well, so I hope you’re not upset.”
“No, but I don’t want to know what you were doing.”
“He was showing me our new home.”
“New home? So you’re ready to move out?”
“Well, didn’t you already know about the house?”
“Yes.”
“So then you knew I was more than likely willing to move in with him.”
“What about getting married?”
“He hasn’t asked me.”
I turn around, and Will is down on one knee. Damn these men. “Are you two working together?”
“Well, I’m not going to let him shack up with my little girl without a ring.”
“Bye, Daddy.” I end the call and drop the phone on the desk.
Biting down on my bottom lip, I stare at the love of my life. “Yes, of course.” He slides the ring on my finger and then wraps his arms around my waist, spinning me in a circle.
“Put me down, naked man.”
“I’m not completely naked.”
He does have his pants on, so I suppose he has a point. “This rock is huge.”
“That it is, but you deserve it, and I want everyone in town to know you belong to me.”
“I’m sure they will. So, are we going to wait to marry?”
“I don’t see why. I mean, you can take your time and plan it out with your mom, my mom, and the sisters, but you know, I don’t want to wait forever.”
“Of course, but we have some time since we don’t plan on having any babies any time soon.”
“That’s right.”
“My mom is going to lose it. She’s going to want to hit every boutique in Dallas, maybe even New York and Chicago. If we go together, that would work.”
“You wouldn’t want a girls-only trip? Your dad wouldn’t let you ladies go to either of those places unprotected, anyhow.”
“Fair point.”
“And if anyone is going to protect you, it’s going to be me.”
“Damn you. Like my panties aren’t already a sticky mess. I don’t have clothes here. How the hell am I supposed to go home and change?”
“Well, it’s a good thing that we’re going shopping first. We have a lot to furnish in our home. The bed and the bedspread are the only things I’ve bought, and my mother helped me with that.” My mouth falls open. “Well, she knew damn well I was hanging on by a thread, and she didn’t want to make you suffer.”
“How am I ever going to look your mother in the face again? It took me forever to do it after the incident at Christmas.”
“Oh, honey. Just wait until you accidentally catch my parents walking out of a room together after a few minutes alone. They weren’t talking about anything. Let’s just say if they could, I’d have another dozen more siblings.”
“Oh…”
“Yeah, so don’t worry. She’ll be blushing before you will. Now, get your pretty ass ready because we have so much to do.”
He was right. We only make it back into Steeleville in time to have dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Steele’s home where they have it decked out for my birthday. My entire family is here, and the family room has been covered with presents.
“Sweetheart, you look radiant. Now let me see that ring,” my mother gushes after giving me a hug. Luckily, we stopped at Will’s apartment, a place I’d never been before. I showered and put on a cute pink party dress that cuts off just above the knees. My father scowls at Will all night even though he smiles and hugs me as often as he can, reminding me that I’m his princess.
