Chapter 6 #2
“Only for you, baby.” He holds my hand and slowly spins me, his gaze fixed on me. “You’re breathtaking. I knew that dress was perfect for you.” He brushes his fingers over my braid. “I love this look too.”
“Why did you buy this and send the women to my condo?”
“I told you I’d take care of everything.”
“But I owe you so much, even tonight’s ticket.”
He shakes his head.
“You don’t owe me anything except a dance and to be a charming date.”
“Okay.”
I tug my red-stained bottom lip between my teeth and bite down. Dare gently presses against my chin.
“No one bites those lips except me.” His voice is deep and husky.
My panties dampen at the image of him doing just that. I’m left speechless as my belly free falls into my high heels.
He leads us out of the elevator and into the grand entrance of the ballroom. Dare checks us in, and we make our way inside.
“Stay right here. I’ll be right back.” Dare walks off, leaving me off to the side of the ballroom.
I watch him walk to the bar and order a drink. He keeps his gaze on me, his eyes never wavering as he waits. His face changes, clouding over with an emotion I can’t decipher, until I hear the voice.
“You look beautiful, Daphne. I see you and Mr. Boseman are getting along. Can I give you some advice?” Lyla says as she stops next to me.
“Of course.”
I like this woman. Not only because she’s a good boss, but because she seems to be a decent person.
“Please be careful. He’s a known player, and I don’t want to see you crushed when he moves on.”
She keeps her back to Dare, who is now approaching us.
“I’m trying, but he says he’s changed.”
“A tiger doesn’t change his stripes,” she says before turning around. “Mr. Boseman, welcome.” Lyla walks away, and my jealousy flares.
“You dated her, didn’t you?” I ask him.
Dare’s eyes widen. “No, never. I went on one date with a friend of her years ago.”
“And this woman thought you were in a relationship?”
He hands me a glass of champagne, and I take a big gulp, causing the bubbles to tickle my nose. I cough for a moment.
“Slow down, little girl. No, she knew what the deal was. I made sure of it. She is a friend of mine to this day. We didn’t even kiss. Lyla thought we were more than what we were.”
“Are you sure?”
“I swear.” He stands beside me and wraps an arm around my waist while he takes a sip of his whiskey. “Let’s find our seats.”
He leads me through the maze of tables until we find our names side by side at a front table.
Darrell
As soon as I saw Lyla head toward Daphne, I knew she was going to bring up Priscilla. The only reason Priscilla attended the gala with me five years ago was to make the man she was dating jealous. It hadn’t worked out the way she’d planned. He ended things, and she was left heartbroken.
The tabloids, and Lyla, took it all wrong. The man Priscilla was involved with was already married. She had been his mistress.
She’s since moved on, and now she’s just a friend of mine. She’s an event planner. This gala is usually one of hers, but she’s been ready to branch out for a while now.
Her ex is still tied to this event. Singer is the president of the board for the Nashville Zoo and works closely with my sister.
I don’t like him. Not even a little. And I can’t wait for the day karma finally comes for his ass. He’s corrupt, a jerk, and still cheats on his wife.
I notice he’s actually seated at our table. I want to move away from him. The jerk will probably try to talk to Daphne.
As soon as she sets her bag down, we head into the next room where people are mingling and a band plays softly.
Part of me is thrilled she’ll be in my arms in front of all these people, but there’s another part of me that dreads it.
I’m so turned on by her right now. Her body looks amazing in that dress.
It’s more than that, though. On a deeper level, she calms my soul and eases the pain that settled over my heart after my ex broke me.
It had only been a couple of months after we lost our parents. I thought it would be good for Lydia to have two people there to support her. Me and a sister-in-law. My college sweetheart and I were still together then while I was in law school. I proposed, and she said yes.
Then I found out she was cheating on me. I ended it instantly.
Since then, I’ve dated and used sex to take care of my needs, but nothing emotional, nothing lasting. No commitments. Not until now.
I want to be completely tied to Daphne. And I want the same from her.
The night progresses with me dancing with Daphne several times, and I take quiet satisfaction in the fact that she won’t engage with Singer at all. He buys her a drink, which she leaves untouched on the table. He asks her to dance. She refuses.
Now we are floating across the dance floor together, her body pressed against mine. My cock is straining against my fly, wanting to get to her sweet, hot pussy.
“The man, President Singer, what is he the president of?” Daphne asks.
He introduced himself using his title and giving her no further context.
“He’s the president of the board of trustees for the Nashville Zoo.”
“He gives me creeper vibes.”
I can’t stop the loud guffaw of laughter erupting from me, and people turn to look at us.
“I’m serious,” Daphne whispers. “Don’t laugh at me. Something about him is off.”
“Baby, I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing because I agree.
He’s weird. If it weren’t for the fact that my sister kind of works for him, I’d tell him off.
” I pull her closer against my body and lean down to her ear.
“I was about ready to stab him with my fork during dinner when he wouldn’t stop undressing you right there in front of his wife. ”
“It was creepy. He tried to follow me to the bathroom. Well, I mean, he did follow me, but then you showed up, and I came out.”
“The fucker. I’m going to kill him.”
I look around for him, and sure enough, he’s standing off to the side, watching us. He starts to make his way toward us.
“We are out of here.” I turn her in my arms to place her body behind mine. As I lead her past Singer, he tries to stop us, but I interrupt him. “My girlfriend and I are leaving. Have a good night.”
We continue to our table so Daphne can collect her clutch, then we head out to the limo.
As soon as we slip out the door, I slide my tuxedo coat off and wrap Daphne into it. The night air is chilly for early June. There was some rain this evening that took care of the humidity, but it will return by morning.
Seeing Jada waiting for us, I lean toward her after I help Daphne into the back of the limo. “Contact Titan and have him run a search on Singer again. Tell him the fucker was making eyes at my woman. I want every dirty thing he’s done.”
“Yes, sir.” She nods as she looks around.
I roll up the privacy divider as I climb into the back. Totten is in the driver’s seat, and Jada sits beside him. The other driver has already been sent home with a thank-you and a promise I might use him again in the future.
Turning to Daphne, I pull her into me even with her seatbelt on. After losing my parents in a car accident, I’m meticulous about seatbelts. She sighs as she leans into me.
“I’m exhausted.” Her words are quiet.
“When will your sister be here?”
“Oh.” She looks at her watch. “She’s flying private and will be here first thing in the morning.”
“So we have tonight,” I say, my voice rough as I slowly suck her earlobe between my teeth and nibble on it.
She moans and turns toward me more, no longer sleepy.
“Dare.”
Her breathless voice does things to me when she calls me that.
“Fuck, little girl. I want you so bad.”
She pulls back. “You do?”
I shake my head in confusion. I thought she knew that.
Grabbing her hand, I place it over my cock. Even through my trousers, I can feel her warmth. Her palm flexes as her fingers start to grip my girth. I throw my head back.
“Baby, I’ve been like this since the moment I saw you last week. I fucking crave you.”
I take her lips in a deep kiss as her hand strokes me. A spurt of pre-cum oozes from the tip of my cock. I rip my lips away after dominating her tongue and mouth.
“You gotta stop, or I’m going to come right here.”
“I thought you didn’t want me because you haven’t tried anything since that first night,” she admits, looking shy.
I lift her chin as she looks down and removes her hand.
“I called my sister and asked her if you were just getting erect because I’m a woman or because you desired me.”
I hate that I left her with any doubts.
“Daphne, look at me,” I demand, and her eyes flick up to mine.
“I want you to be sure you want me before I take you. I want you to know that the moment I get into your tight, virgin pussy, I’m taking you bare.
I’m going to marry you. I’m also going to get you pregnant.
You’ll never be able to walk away from me. ”
Her breath hitches, and she nods at me. “I want that, but not right away.”
“And that’s why I’m waiting. Bare, baby. No condom. Nothing between us. And you won’t get on birth control. I want you bred. I want to watch you grow big with my baby. I want it all with you.”
“Okay.” She sighs, but I know she’s only agreeing with me and not my words.
The limo comes to a stop, and I unbuckle before I slide to the door. Jada opens it, and I step out. I reach in and help Daphne out of the car.
“We have to feed and walk the dogs. Be back in a couple hours,” I tell Totten and Jada. They both nod.
I escort Daphne upstairs, and she puts on a coat before we head out to walk the dogs. When we come back in, Daphne watches me as I roll up my sleeves after removing my cufflinks and bow tie. She licks her lips as she stares at me, and I’m on her in an instant.
I stride across the room and lift her up. She wraps around me, and I sit on the sofa with her straddling me. My hands roam up and down her body as she unbuttons my shirt. She leans in and kisses my throat. I love having her lips and hands on me.
I reach behind her and lower the hidden zipper on her top before I unhook the halter neckline. The material falls to her lap, exposing her breasts. Her magnolia scent is all over her skin.
I lean in when she pulls away from my neck. Her skin is flushed, and her nipples are erect and demanding attention. I gently pull one into my mouth, savoring her taste as it bursts across my tongue. Groaning, I suck more of her B cup breast into my mouth, wanting to consume all of her.
She moans as she grinds down on me. I can fucking practically smell her need. It’s overwhelming all my thoughts.
“Please, Dare. I need you.”
“I know, baby, but I’m not taking you tonight.”
I hold fast to my rules. I’m not going to take her until she’s completely ready for everything I want with her.
“Don’t tease me,” she says as I move to her other breast.
I leave little love bites tattered across her skin and along the side of her breast.
“We are staying on this base tonight,” I tell her as I continue to work her breasts with my hand and mouth.
She’s thrusting against me, and I’m making a mess in my tuxedo pants, but I don’t care. I only want to give her the orgasm she needs.
She pushes down hard on my cock. I’ve had enough. Fuck this base.
I roll her onto the sofa and rise above her. “I’m only going to get you off, baby.”
I shove up her skirt until I reveal her black panties. They’re soaked for me. Her scent hits my nose, and I spread her wide. My intention is to get her off with my fingers, but now that I’m here, I couldn’t stop myself if I wanted to.
I bury my face in her wet core, then I pull back and rip the material from her body. I lean in again and lick up and down her slit, collecting her essence on my tongue.
“Yes, Dare,” she cries out, her hands pressing my head into her more.
Pulling away for a moment, I look up her body. A pink flush spreads over her chest down to the waist of her skirt. Her breasts heave, nipples erect, my marks across her.
“You’re mine, Daphne. I’m never giving you up. Marry me,” I demand as her head thrashes.
“Anything. Please, Dare.”
I return to her core and eat her out like she’s my last meal.
While sucking her clit, I push a finger into her tight pussy.
My long digit hits the proof that she will only ever be mine.
I curl my finger to reach her soft tissue and gently bite her clit.
She screams as she starts to gush all over my hand.
I slide down and savor all of her before shoving a second finger into her tightness. I’m going to have to work her up to my girth, but I’m going to love every minute of it.
I stand up over her and unfasten my trousers, releasing my cock. This is pushing my control, but the need to mark her more overwhelms me.
Daphne’s hooded eyes watch as I jack off. I erupt over her. Spurts of my cum land on her pussy, and I scoop it up and shove it inside her.
She cries out and slides her fingers through my jizz on her belly. She draws her fingers to her mouth and sucks them clean. Another burst of cum lands on her. Her pussy flutters around my fingers still inside her.
My cock is rock hard, and it takes everything in me to bring her down slowly without building her back up and taking her.
“Soon, baby. I’m going to get my fat cock in this pretty pink pussy, and I’m going to mark it inside with my cum.”
“Yes. I want that too, Dare.” She moans, her pupils dilated, her skin flushed. She’s still in euphoria from her orgasm.
I pull away and slide my cock into my boxers as she writhes on the sofa.
“You are so fucking beautiful,” I say, and she turns slightly. I smack her ass cheek. “Go get into something so we can walk the dogs, and you can get some sleep before Delphi comes in tomorrow.”
“Okay.” She’s so blissed out she doesn’t argue with me.
I get the girls on their leashes while she changes. I’ve always wanted dogs, but because of my work schedule, I didn’t think it would be fair to them. Now I couldn’t imagine life without these little bullies.
Daphne steps out of her room in pink lounge pants and a long-sleeved top that falls off one shoulder. She moves right to me after she slips her shoes on. She leans up and kisses my chin. I lean down and take her lips.
After walking the dogs, I tuck her into bed again, then head out. I have everything set up for us for tomorrow. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m crashing her day with her sister. I want to get to know Delphi. I’m going to need her on my side if I want to move on with Daphne.
