DamonHe pulled out his phone and flipped through a few of the pictures they'd taken on their vacation as he let out a long breath.Long brown hair and green eyes that captivated him. A small waist and huge tits that took up most of his palm. He closed his eyes and dropped his phone back into his pocket as his body woke up. He didn't care how fast things had gone. He'd give anything to hang on to the feeling she left him with - pay any price.They could get to know each other over the next year and figure things out slowly, but no one unwrapped a package they didn't first purchase. That was Bethany. He'd put himself into wanting to try something more than a fuck-buddy relationship with her, and now it was time to be deliberate in learning about her, figuring out what made her tick.He opened his eyes and pursed his lips as his pulse spiked. He'd popped the question simply because he didn't want to lose her. She was beyond worried about them being siblings, but it was an invalid concer
BethanyThe large diamond sitting on her hand seemed surreal. Had Damon really proposed after three weeks? Warmth flooded her over the thought, quickly followed by a million reasons why he might decide his offer was a mistake. The man was as fickle as any she'd ever met but so worth the effort. Having been raised to be independent and fight for everything, she wasn't used to wanting to belong to anyone or anything, but Damon was different.Belonging to him felt good, right. Like he might have the ability to patch the holes in her past and give her a future that looked far brighter than the one she was forcing herself into. Work was going to become her only focus, much as school had been for the last four years.A knock at the apartment door caused her to jump. Krista was still in jail, and though Bethany should have visited her close friend, she simply didn't have much to say to the other girl. Having lived together for four years and not knowing that Krista was manic bipolar was beyo
BethanyBethany laughed and wiped at her eyes again. "He's in good company. I'll help out where I can.""Study dates twice a week like we used to?" Jake winked and wiggled around in his wheelchair as if trying to get comfortable."Only if you're buying coffee." She opened the door more fully and moved back to let them out."Him buying the coffee?" Jake's dad chuckled. "You mean me?""Are you offering?" Bethany teased him and closed the door as they waved their goodbyes. The thought of what Jake must look like under his loose T-shirt and sweat pants caused her to cringe. Krista had almost succeeded in taking his life, and thank God she hadn't, but he was forever changed. Every time he changed clothes or got naked in front of a girl, they would see the excessive scarring all over his chest and stomach."Unbelievable." She tried to discard the thought, but it lingered as she cleaned up the apartment and packed up the rest of Krista's stuff. Both of her friends’ lives were forever changed
DamonFrustration sat heavy on his shoulders as he drove toward his father's mansion on the far side of town. Having wanted to be just like his dad his whole life, now was his chance, and yet it didn't seem nearly as thrilling as he hoped it would. People were childish and irresponsible, and that was on a good day.Between the fuck ups his Seattle team made on the Zarpeth inventory and the Kissinger tax audit coming up, he was beat. The trip to Jamaica had been good for him, maybe too good, but returning to another crisis wiped away the positive effects he hoped to hold on to for a few more days.He pulled up in the circle drive and parked his Mercedes, but didn't get out. Bethany's beat up Honda sat beside Matt's old green truck, both of them looking like something the pool boy might drive. A smile lifted Damon's lip at the realization that Bethany was a lot like him, but a lot like Matthew too. There were parts of her past he wanted to explore, but that would come in time. He didn't
DamonThe look of ecstasy on her beautiful face when she crested over the edge of orgasm was intense, gratifying."Fuck," he groaned as her body tightened around his fingers and spasmed. "So fucking hot baby." He gripped the back of her neck and rolled them again so that he could hover above her as he finished his assault. He'd be taking his time with her later that night, but the quickie was in order."More," she whined, lighting him up complete."You'll get more when I'm ready." He ran his fingers just under her panties, petting her as he pressed his mouth to her nipple and tugged just over her clothes. "God, you smell so fucking good, Beth.""Tell Matt to go away." She pressed her foot into his chest and pushed.He moved back and shook his head. "I'm not hurting the big guy's feelings; you do that.""Never." She sat up and tugged her shorts back into place as he slipped his fingers into his mouth and licked them clean. The woman tasted like heaven and watching her react to him teas
BethanyWhite-hot electricity danced in the center of her stomach as she toyed with him. The minute he took complete control, it burst out from its epicenter and danced along her pleasure points, leaving her exposed, needy, raw."I wish you would unload on me." She stroked up his thick shaft several times before leaning in and taking as much as she could in her mouth. The musky flavor of his excitement was almost enough to throw her over the edge. The man was a beast in the bedroom and deserved someone far more adventurous. Something about him made her want to be that girl no matter the cost.He groaned and tugged at her hair, pulling her closer to his body, forcing more of his cock into her mouth."Breathe through your nose and work to take all of me. Don't assume you can't. Make it work, Beth. Push." He brushed his fingers down the side of her face and pumped his hips slowly as he watched her with an intensity she'd never seen before. On anyone before.She forced herself to follow h
BethanyShe woke the next morning to find him gone already. A note sat by the coffee pot with one of the pink roses from the front yard clipped and sitting in a vase beside it. The smile that touched her face faded quickly as she read it.Beth,I'm in the office already, I'm sure. Make sure you set the alarm, and leave your ring at home when you're in the office. I don't want to overshadow my father's wedding celebration by talking about ours. We still need to figure out how to ease everyone into the idea of us being together. Let's be smart about it. I know you understand that. D"What?" She read the note again and rolled her eyes. Typical. Immaturity raged inside of her as she got dressed in the only clean outfit left in her make-shift closet at Kent's. A pair of black slacks and a peach-colored top. She worked her hair into a bun, wanting to be defiant just because she could and grabbed her keys. A long day promised to keep her thoughts about Damon's request at a minimum, but by t
DamonIt was just after lunch, and she'd yet to stop by or text. She was upset, and he couldn't blame her, nor could he console her. It was a simple request to leave the ring at the house, and it had very little to do with him not wanting to show her off, and everything to do with laying the proper foundation for their relationship.He'd been cocky about the situation before, but that was before he decided to up and ask the pretty girl to marry him.Marriage. Fuck. The word alone seemed to bring with it a whole host of feelings that Damon wasn't ready to face. It was supposed to be the binding of two people into a relationship that spanned time until the end showed up for one member or the other, but it rarely happened.The phone buzzed as he sat at his desk, taking a quick five-minute breather for the only break he would have that day."Mr. Bryant, Erica Hall is on line one for you. Are you free to-""Put her through, Linda." Damon sat up and pressed his forearms to the desk in front
