When we go inside, Darren's mom gives me a hug and whispers in my ear, "He loves you, don't hurt him dear." Letting me go, she gives me a warning look and then smiles at Darren lovingly.
"Sweetie, have a seat next to your girlfriend and tell me all about how you two met." Her eyes are fixed on me and I can tell she is watching out for him. Something in his past, must have made her this way.
Darren sits down right next to me and holds my hand. Lacing my fingers with his, he doesn't let go as he tells her. "One night I was coming home from a friend's house and I hit a deer. Realizing that the battery in my phone died, I walked up to the nearest house. It just happened to be Lauryn's." He stops and smiles at me, squeezing my hand.
"She was very kind to open for me and let me use her phone, considering it was about 2 in the morning. I never asked for her name or number, thinking we would never see
After telling Lauryn that I love her, she acts shocked. How could she be? I know she feels the same way, because I can sense it. When we touch, it's like our souls intertwine. I watch her get dressed and get up on the horse, while I do the same. Between the kicking and bucking, I manage to calm Goldy down and catch up to Lauryn going at a fairly fast pace. Riding next to her, I sit quietly not wanting to make things worse than they already are. She probably thinks this whole thing is some kind of setup, because ever since she got here it has been one thing after another. I can't believe my mom kept it up like that and now that I have spilled the beans, what does she think of me? A fool? What man tells a woman they have gone out with on two dates, that he loves her? All I can say is that I know what I want and I go full force to get it. I don't have any excuses and I won't try to make any either
Grabbing an overnight bag, I almost forget to call Samantha. She wanted me to call her after I got home with the details. I hope she is prepared for what I have to tell her though. With Darren waiting in the car, I pack and talk to her. "You will not believe this. We get there and his mom asks when the wedding is? I turned to Darren and he offered up no help, instead he acted like we were getting married, then we go out horseback riding. While we are out there we have sex and he tells me he loves me. I mean come on, nobody tells each other that after the second date." She starts to say something, but I stop her. "Wait a minute, let me finish first. My instincts kick in and I ride away, instead of getting a clue, he rides after me and stops me. Samantha, he tells me that I am it for him. What the fuck. Then he makes love to me and tells me he loves me again. We go back to his sis
Hoping that she likes my Shrimp Scampi Linguini, I set the table and wait for her to join me. Waiting patiently, I stand there and watch her get up. She looks like she belongs here and it's strange, but it feels like it too.In just a few short days, we have gone from a short fling to staying the weekend.This is something so unexpected, but every fiber of my being tells me that I'm doing the right thing. Matter of fact, I have never been so sure of anything in my life, ever.She grabs the bottle and her glass, meeting me at the table and sitting down. I forgot my glass, so I rush to the kitchen and grab it, returning quickly before the linguini gets cold. Both of us, settle in our seats and we sit staring at each other.Kissing her gently, I motion for her to eat. "Eat before it gets cold. Shrimp gets tough if you don't eat it quickly after being cooked." I start to eat and
He left me in the bed. I'm laying here, handcuffed and I don't have a clue where he went. I lay here for a few minutes and I think I hear the shower and Darren's voice singing. Thinking that he will come back in and that he was just joking around, I yell out."Please."I hear him walk back in and he asks, "Please what?""You can't just say please. Tell me what you want." He starts walking around the room, it sounds like he's pacing back and forth."Don't leave me alone again." The room gets quiet and he doesn't talk."Ask me nicely." I hear his voice softening.Thinking to myself how to word this, "O.K., please don't leave again." Honestly, this is a bigger turn on than I have ever felt. It makes me feel completely powerless.Knowing I am in his hands and need him, I beg. "Darren, I will do anything for you, just please don't leave me alone again." Realizing
Waking up to Lauryn's soft warm body, is the greatest high and I don't know if I ever want to leave the bed. A giant smile spreads across my face and I remember when I was buried deep inside her last night. How wonderful it felt to be inside her and perfect the way I fit in her. With my face in her hair, I smell her sweetness and my body tells me to eat her alive. Not wanting to wake her though, I lay still quieting my insatiable appetite for her. Watching Sleeping Beauty, I notice how beautiful she really is. Why did I think her beauty was just normal before, when she is so obviously naturally beautiful? She has a quiet natural beauty that doesn't need makeup. Her beautiful blue eyes make me fall deep into them, always pulling me farther and farther. The way her lips pout just a little and she always looks like she is wearing red lipstick. Just thinking about those lips, I want to kiss them and then
Opening the door to the penthouse, I feel strangely like I belong here. It's hard to explain, because I have never really felt like I truly belonged anywhere before. My whole life, people made fun of me and even my mom at one point wished that she didn't have me. She felt that maybe her ex-husband would have wanted her then, instead of me. Knowing this, I have never been able to get that close to anyone. I guess Samantha is the closest, acting like a sister to me and Steve a big brother. When I needed someone, they were always there for me growing up. He came to my rescue, numerous times. At one point, he would let me hang out with his friends and knew that I had a crush on him, but nothing ever happened. It was just after my mom left my stepfather and he over heard me telling Samantha about what he did to me. When he threatened to find the bastard and kill him, I somehow managed to get him to calm down.&nbs
After cleaning up, the first thing on my mind is food. Lauryn follows me into the kitchen and chops up the vegetables, while I cut up the beef and slice it into shavings. Deciding to make Mongolian Beef for dinner, I boil rice and fry up the meat in a wok. When Lauryn finishes her job, I take the vegetables and throw them in with the rest of it.Watching the steam roll off of the stove, I crack the window open and turn around to continue cooking the food. After frying up all the peppers and green onions, I pour in the soy sauce and brown sugar. Mixing it all together, I taste a piece and satisfied, let Lauryn sample it.Sitting on a stool, her eyes pop open when she tastes it."Careful, It's still too hot." I tell her, when she tries to get another sample. "I blew that one off for a few minutes, before giving it to you. I don't want you to burn yourself." She looks at me with adoring eye
Sitting down at my desk, I think about the weekend and what it means in the grand scheme of things. Is he planning on asking me to marry him? Or live with him full time? Be his play thing? What?Not knowing what his plan truly is for me, I shake my head and give up for the moment. Picking up several papers strewn on my desk, I file them and see a note hiding under the lip of my desk calendar. It has my name on it written in cursive.Curious, I open it and look inside. The only thing in it is a note card. Plain white business card stock, the kind of thing you see wedding or baby shower invitations printed on. It says, Meet me at the fountain on Tuesday. Be there at 11 a.m.Looking around to see if anyone is watching me, I slip it in my purse and start filing my papers. Who in the world wants to meet me and why? More importantly, why so secret?Questions plagu
"Daddy, daddy, look!" We both turn to look at what Daniel and Daniella are yelling about. Miah sitting on the sand turns around and watches as the twins run around with a crab. It has been three years and the kids have gotten so big. The twins are 2 and Miah is 5. Being such a big sister, she always watches out for them and helps with everything. Samantha and Chris got married three months after we did and have a beautiful little girl Christina. Ironically, she looks just like Darren. Janet and Casper ended up getting engaged, but Janet got bored with him soon after and moved on. Theresa quit when she found out Jake was screwing the secretary on the fourth floor, shortly after Darren came back to work. Then one night almost a year ago, Jake was driving in a storm, when he took a corner too fast in his Maserati and ended up slamming into a semi going 150. He had to have a close
"Hey Baby, where's my tux? The rehearsal is in an hour? I have looked all over and can't find it."Smiling, I answer. "Don't you remember? It's in the back of the car already, along with my wedding gown and Miah's dress.It's Saturday, the morning of the wedding and everything has fallen in place. Ben and Kathy talked to the Minister and made sure that it is all absolutely perfect. Samantha and Chris are in town, staying at the hotel. They are going to meet us at the rehearsal and Darren's mom Elizabeth and his sister Shana are already in town too, staying next door to Samantha and Chris.Yes, I feel bad for them, because I know damn well that Samantha and Chris made a lot of noise all night. She really wanted to have a double wedding with us, but Darren was firm on the fact that he wanted all eyes on me only today. Excited, I'm practically jumping out of my skin.I am sure glad that we did
On Thursday morning, we wake up as usual with two exceptions. Instead of driving to work, Lauryn does and I watch Miah. Now the only time we need the babysitter is when we want to be alone, at least until I find another corporate position. I hear the phone ring, taking it out of my pocket I see that it's from Mr. Reynolds. "It's all taken care of. You are officially the sole parents of Miah and you will never hear from Jaiden again. Apparently they found her body hanging from the jail cell. I was told that she supposedly hung herself with her bed sheet." Standing up and pacing, I ask, "Did you file a lawsuit with the Chronicle?" "Yes and as soon as I did, their lawyers offered up a settlement. Will you take a formal apology on the front page of the newspaper and twenty million dollars for compensation? I told them I would have to talk it over with you, but figured the sum was too low considering you lost a multi
Janet told me all about Darren resigning. I just wish I had heard it from him first. What happened? I know that he was on the front page of the newspaper and somehow Jaiden set it up, but why did he have to leave?Struggling through the rest of the day, I wait till it's time to go home. Looking at the clock, I see that it's 2 minutes to 5 and I start packing up my things. I hear a knock at the door and thinking it's Darren, rush over to it. Unfortunately, it's Jake with a big shitty ass grin on his face."So, do you need a ride home? I assume you heard the news." Staring at me, he sits down in the chair by my desk. Patting my chair and motioning for me to sit down, I walk over to it and take a seat.Sighing, I listen as he tells me all about it. "Lauryn, I can't believe he did this to you. He has made your relationship a scandal, even though it's not true. How could he drag you into th
It's Wednesday. Waking up to my beautiful fiance, I smile and kiss her good morning. Last night was a hit and I am so glad she enjoyed it. We needed some romance in our relationship after everything that has been going on.Getting up and going downstairs to work out, I notice that strangely no one is here again, so I quickly do my routines. Getting back upstairs in record time, I find her waiting on the couch for me so we can take a shower together."Baby, let's go get a shower, I have something I want to give you." Looking down at my erection, she smiles and nods.I take her hand and lead her into the shower. Grabbing a bottle of body wash and turning on the shower, I pour the liquid on her shoulders and watch it slip down her voluptuous body. Soaping her up, she stares at me with lust in her eyes. I feel her hands grab my balls and pull me to her.Leaning down, I cup a breast in each hand and s
Walking in the door, Darren yells out. "Where is Karen?" He runs around the apartment looking for her. Hearing her name, she comes out of the kitchen looking startled, because she had been making popcorn before they came in.Looking up at him, she asks. "What's going on?"Relieved, Darren calms down and I wonder why he is so jumpy in the first place. Did he get a note too or did he find out something he isn't telling me? Deciding to let it go for now, I thank Karen and send her home after paying her.Letting my hair down, I relax and go make sure Miah is tucked in. Carefully opening the door, I peek in and watch her sleep peacefully. Smiling, I close her door and go to the bedroom where Darren is.Sitting on the bed, he stares at me as I come in the door. The look on his face is one of a man who needs to de-stress. Stripping, I stand in front of him and run my hands down my side
Tuesday morning rolls around and when I wake up I feel a little off. Not being able to put my finger on it, I get up to do my workout. Lauryn is sound asleep, so I wait a few minutes to wake her up. Instead, I go to the bathroom and get my workout clothes on first.Once I'm ready to go downstairs, I wake her up with a kiss. When her eyes open and she smiles, I start to feel better. She reaches up and pulls me down on her, hugging me and kissing me. "Good Morning, my wonderful husband." She smiles and continues, "Just thought I would try that one on for size."Loving the way that sounds coming from her lips, I kiss her again and then go down to complete my workout. Working up a sweat, I grab a towel and move to the next machine, but when I sit down I watch as Celeste walks in. Great, that's all I need right now.She walks over to me just as soon as she spots me and purrs my name. "Darren, who
After chasing around Miah all day Sunday, I finally got a decent amount of sleep. However, waking up this morning for work, I feel like I didn't sleep at all and it's only Monday. I wonder just how much paperwork will be waiting for me on my desk when I get in.At least yesterday we brought my car back here, so I wouldn't have to rely on Darren to get me everywhere and we hired a babysitter for Miah to start this morning. Opening the door to her room, I watch her sleep peacefully and wait for Darren to get back from doing his workout. When I hear him open the front door, I shut hers carefully as to not wake her and go find Darren.Finding him in the bathroom, I join him in the shower. The steam feels so good on my neck and back especially when he comes up behind me and picks me up. When he places my back against the wall, I wrap my legs around his waist and he kisses me with urgency.Feeling his erection poking me in the
Driving back to the city, we decide how to proceed with everything. Letting Lauryn do the talking, I sit back and drive while she calls Jaiden and informs her that we will be meeting her a bit later than initially decided. Of course, she isn't happy, but eventually agrees. Feeling confident that everything will work out, I look over at Lauryn and smile.Her face is lit up by the sun and she looks absolutely radiant. How lucky am I to have a woman who is willing to take in another child that isn't her own and love her? I thought for sure I was going to have to let Miah go. She glances at me and returns a beautiful Lauryn smile. For a few minutes we sit quietly driving, then she asks me a question. "Why would you have given up your child for me? I thought she was your everything, what happened?" Mulling it over, I answer eventually, "Well, I realized that I wasn't willing to lose you over this. Yo
