17. ANGUS
Chapter seventeen
ANGUS
I had this beautiful man under me, and the only thing I wanted was to make him lose his mind.
All I had to do was look at him, and my body responded with fireworks.
He turned me on in a way nobody ever had.
It created an ache to be with him, but I wanted to please him, too.
I needed him to want me, like me, need me.
My lips were on his collarbone, then down to his pecs, where I bit lightly, working my tongue down to his nipple, which was hard.
He arched his back when I bit it lightly, then I repeated the same thing on the other side.
He responded to the touch, and I loved how his body pushed toward me.
“So gorgeous,” I said while I flicked the hard nub.
I worked my way back up, my lips teased under his jaw.
He writhed under me and moaned from deep in his chest. My body leaked as I moved my painfully hard cock against his abs.
The noises he made showed that I made him feel good, but I could do better.
With his help, I piled pillows behind his back so he could sit up.
“Fuck. So good.” He whispered while I worshiped his body.
I smiled. That’s what I wanted from him.
My own needs were irrelevant because I wanted Eion to fall apart for me.
Being with him was new but perfect, something I had never dared to dream of.
I slid closer and took us both in my hand.
My eyes never left his as I ran my thumb through the liquid that beaded from the tip of his cock, which I then slipped between my lips.
The salty tang of the fluid made everything in me explode.
I’d tasted him before, but I craved his flavor, and that first taste did things to me.
My hand held our cocks together tight as I ran my fingers over our shafts, my fingers teased over the velvety skin, then squeezed the crowns together, which caused us both to leak.
“Fuck. Angus. Good.”
I liked it when he was reduced to single words, because of pleasure.
His head was thrown back, his hips moved in my hand, and he rubbed against the sensitive skin of my member.
With us both held tightly, he continued to move, then his hand joined mine, which created a tighter channel for us to thrust into.
The heat of his cock, and the movement created a feeling that I couldn’t get enough of, but it pushed me toward my climax.
I knew I wasn’t capable of holding back for much longer—I was about to snap.
“Are you going to come for me, Eion? Rub it into my skin and claim me?” The sounds he made went directly to my groin, my balls pulled up, and I bit my lip until I drew blood because I wanted him to go first. Close to his ear, I whispered, “That’s it.
You are so sexy like this. Let go for me.
” The sound of my name on his lips as he released was all I needed as I followed him into the light.
It shattered me. My brain felt fuzzy, and my vision seemed to go white.
As I lay there, I knew there was so much more between us than sex.
I hadn’t had a connection like this ever before.
I’d dated a few guys, and we had been together for a few months, but I hadn’t felt this bond with someone.
I hoped he felt it too. If he didn’t, I was in big trouble.
“Angus!?”
“Good.”
Apparently, single words were all we could manage.
I leaned forward and kissed him softly, then pressed my forehead against his.
“You.” I sat there a moment, trying to get my heart rate under control.
“You are something special.” When the corners of his lips turned up, my heart accelerated again.
He did things to me that were new and wonderful.
We cleaned up, then cuddled as best as we could on his tiny bed.
If I stayed with him regularly, we needed to work out this bed situation—it was killing my back.
West was going to be way too pleased with himself when he realized I used my days off exactly as he hoped.
When I woke up, my back was stiff and sore, but I wouldn’t change it for anything because I was with Eion.
I’d sleep out in the barn with him if that was where he was.
It was still dark outside, which meant it was early, but after yesterday, I knew there was a lot to do on the property.
I looked over at Eion; his arm was still around my waist as I sat up a little.
“It’s early,” Eion mumbled from next to me.
I kissed his back and shoulders, my hands teasing over the exposed skin.
“That feels nice.” I loved sex. Being able to push the other person to a mind-blowing orgasm did it for me for sure.
The gift your partner offered by being vulnerable, feeling their arousal because of you, and then the intimacy that came with that, I craved.
What was happening with Eion, however, was special.
He did little things for me like making me coffee, letting me name the animals, and trusting me with his truth.
This was nothing I was familiar with, and it put me a little off balance.
“You want some coffee?” Being able to start coffee without getting out of bed had its perks.
“I’d rather have you, but children need to be fed.”
It felt good that he still wanted me this morning.
Over the years, if I had spent the night with a man, they were shooing me out the door the second we were conscious.
I had spent the last two nights with Eion, and that was unprecedented.
Once we both had coffee in hand, we headed into the dark to feed.
I immediately went to the enclosures he had me take care of the day before, and after about an hour, I found Eion in the barn.
He was crouched down in the stall where the wounded mama bear was. “How did our girl do last night?”
“She did well. I wish I had a better facility for wounded large animals that included a nursery.”
It was a mantra I had heard from him several times before, which meant it was really a problem for him. “About that.”
He looked up at me and narrowed his eyes. “No.”
“You don’t know what I was going to say.”
“You forget that you told me you were stupidly rich, but I am not going to let you buy things. Especially while we work out this thing between us.” I understood what he said and hoped my suggestion would be a solid alternative.
He was right. I had considered buying what he needed, but I never considered how it might impact our budding relationship.
“Okay, how about this? What if I, which means my mom, arranged a fundraiser to get the money for the new facility?”
He looked at me. I could tell he was considering what I said, which was good. At least he hadn’t immediately said no. “Tell me more about this fundraiser.”
I let out the breath I had been holding. “It could be a gala of sorts. Fancy clothes, a slide show of the animals here, and an explanation of what you need. Everyone would fall in love with North and South, but we should probably show off Orlando, and Bethany too.”
He chuckled. “North and South are adorable, and more so every day. Tell me more.”
“Well, I would introduce you to my mother, and she has people. Tons of people who wait in the wings for this type of opportunity. But she knows a few deep pockets that could help get what you need here.”
“The Sanctuary doesn’t have the money to pay to set something like that up.”
“That’s okay. We can do everything on credit, pay everyone with the donations that come in.”
“It would really help with situations like this. It would have helped if I could have weighed this girl and had an ultrasound on her. She is too big for the equipment I have.”
“Is that a yes?” I was hopeful.
“I hope I don’t regret this.” He mumbled. “Yes. We can have an event for a small group of people.”
“Yeah!” I pumped the air. “What are you doing tomorrow night? I was thinking maybe we could go to my house and have dinner.” I realized I had basically invited myself to spend the night again, then introduce him to my mother. It was presumptuous of me.
“Are you saying you plan to spend time with me tomorrow?”
“Yes!?” The tone of my voice went up. I hadn’t mentioned my days off were after the two days West had taken me off the schedule, which means I had four, almost five, days free.
He looked at me like he wasn’t sure how to proceed with the conversation, and I wasn’t about to guess what was coming next because this was all new territory for me, but it was also new for him.
What if he was hoping I would go home? “I’m sorry I didn’t ask.
I assumed. I shouldn’t have assumed. We’ve been having so much fun.
I like you a lot. You’re so amazing, and I like the animals and getting up with you in the morning.
We seem to be getting along so well. You probably want me to leave. ”
“Angus.” He said with a slight bite.
I stopped talking. “Yes.” He opened the barn door and stepped into my space.
His hand slipped around my waist, and his lips went to my neck, kissing the sensitive skin.
“Relax.” He whispered in my ear. “I would love to spend more time with you. Feel free to stay with me any time you want because I like waking up with you, too.” I stretched my neck so he had better access. My body enjoyed his touch.
“Oh.” It appeared he felt some of the same things I did, which made me feel a little giddy. “Dinner tomorrow?”
“We would have to go after the evening feeding. As you know, I am not very social, but I will try to make a good impression on your mom.”
I smiled and kissed him. “She’ll love you because of how I feel about you. I know she will do the event without meeting you, but I want to introduce you to her because she is important to me and you are, too. We could stay at my place after we eat?”
“Sounds nice. Will you come back on Tuesday, or am I pushing my luck?”
Trying not to seem too eager, I nodded. “Sure. Yup.”
He laughed. “You aren’t fooling me.” I kissed him to shut him up, excited that he was going to do the fundraiser and meet my mom.
I’ve never brought someone home to her before, so this was a very big deal.
I knew she would understand its significance.
And I didn’t think he needed to know those details.
ANGUS
I’m bringing someone home for dinner tomorrow night
MOM
Someone? Like a man?
ANGUS
Yes. I like him.
MOM
Really? If this is a joke, Angus Flynn MacGregor.
ANGUS
It’s not a joke. We will be there around 8:00 p.m.
Can you order dinner?
MOM
Order? I will be cooking a pot roast and making pie for us.
ANGUS
You don’t have to. I want you to meet the man I’m really into.
Plus, we have a favor to ask.
MOM
Okay. See you tomorrow. Will you spend the night?
ANGUS
Yeah. Have Sheila clean up my room, please.
MOM
Consider it done. Love you, see you tomorrow.
“Mom’s all set for us tomorrow night. I hope you like pot roast.”
“I haven’t had pot roast in forever.”
“Did you feed the raccoons?” He asked as he entered the stall with the baby bears.
“Nope, I will go do it right now.” I smiled at him.
We already had a comfortable system between us.
I felt hugely fulfilled by taking care of the Sanctuary.
The time I spent with the menagerie warmed my heart in a way I didn’t know I needed.
These thoughts reminded me that North and South were getting big, and there would be a time that they would go into the big enclosure.
I hoped they didn’t forget me. “Okay, guys. Let me get out your sisters.” I hurried to the other cage and got the girls.
Once I had them all out, I lined them up in my lap.
Today, they got supplements, which we gave them in a bottle.
As soon as the bottle was near them, they would reach out and start to slurp. It was adorable.
Sitting there, I felt the muscle in my back throbbing.
Something had to be done about that bed.
I had an idea and wondered if it would create a problem between Eion and me, but if I was going to sleep over, there had to be a change.
I sent a couple of emails and had faith that everything would be taken care of by the time I got home tomorrow.
Eion checked himself in the mirror for the hundredth time. He looked fantastic, but he wouldn’t take my word for it. He wore a button-down and black jeans. All I wanted to do was take those clothes off him, but I kept my hands to myself. He wiped his hand on his thigh.
“What if she doesn’t like me? She’s so far out of my league.
Do you know how rich she is?” I laughed.
Eion had Googled my family for the first time since we met.
Even though I had told him about my wealth, it hadn’t registered, apparently.
My mother was a socialite, and when you searched for her name, there was a lot to find.
There was everything from the foundations she ran to her success as an attorney.
My mother had tripled the family fortune with her investments, putting us on a lot of lists about rich people.
“I do know how rich she is. She will like you because I like you. I promise she is an average woman. You’ll be surprised how normal she is.”
“Will you leave me if she doesn’t like me?”
The look in his eyes broke my heart. I had very strong, very scary, but wonderful feelings for him.
It was easy to answer his question. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his waist. “I won’t leave you unless you tell me to go.
Exploring this with you has been a great pleasure, and I look forward to seeing what happens next. ”
I felt him relax a little. “I’ve never met someone’s parents before. This is important. God, I hope she likes me.”
I kissed him. “She will like you, I promise.” I considered telling him that I had never introduced her to a man I was dating, but I was sure my mom would say something when we got there.
And he didn’t need the added pressure. My mother would love him, and if things went as I hoped, we would spend lots of time with her.
“Okay. Okay. Let’s do it. I am ready to meet your mother. Am I dressed okay?”
“You look great.” He kissed me. Letting out a little sigh. By the time he got in the car, he was pale, but I knew it would be fine. I was excited to share him with my mom.
