All Chapters of Home to the Mountains: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I wake up on the couch alone. Though, I remember falling asleep on Axel, yet, he isn't here. I'm covered with a blanket and tucked in. Under the blanket, I'm still in only my bra and underwear.I don't move right away, as I think of earlier today.That kiss.Wow.That kiss was all consuming. I've never been kissed like that before, and I don't think I'll ever be again. The emotion and need in that kiss stole my breath every time his lips met mine.This giant was so gentle and treated me like I was the most precious thing in the world.What girl wouldn't want to be pampered like that?Then, I think back to his admission that girls told him he was too big, and even broke up with him for that. Are they blind? Crazy?His size makes me feel so protected, and it's not anything he can help. How dare they shame him for it. They are no better than the bullies I faced in school.I have this need to prove them wrong, and to show him it was their fault, not his. Nothing is wrong with him, and I'l

Like every morning, I wake up on top of Axel, but this time, he's grinding into me. It's slow, agonizingly slow, like he can't stop himself, but need the relief as bad as I do.When his tip hits my clit, I groan and dig my nails into his chest."Good morning, Little One," he grits out, as his hands grip my hips tighter."You were grinding that hot, wet pussy on me in your sleep, and I didn't know how much longer I was going to last," he says with a moan.I let me hands slowly trail up his sides to his chest. This fascination with his chest, I can't explain. In the mornings, is really the only time I get to put my hands on his sculpted chest, so I take full advantage of it."I love waking up this way," I gasp, as he increases his thrusts.His grip on me tightens, and in a blink of an eye, he flips me over and is on top of me. Well, this is different."Damn, that was way hot," I say without thinking.He's always been so careful,

After spending the day with Axel taking care of me, I feel so spoiled, relaxed, and I hate to say it, loved. We haaven't said the words, but I remember my parents saying people's actions speak louder than words.Axel shows me every day how much he caqres about me, and I hope I'm doing the same dor him. So even if we haven't taken that step, I don't doubt for a second his feelings for me.It's obvious by the way he watches me from across the room, and by how gentle he is, when he touches me. No matter what it costs him, he's always putting me first.I can't remember the last time I felt this cared for, and I don't think I could give it up, even if I had, too. When I think of the man that I want to build a life with, ths is what I want. THis is what every girl dreams of.Even though I know he's nervous about if i'll like it out here, I know I will, and really, I already do. Now, I just have to show him. That will take time, but I know I can make him see it. I love going hunting with him

It's been so long, since I've had a relaxing, lazy day. Axel has barely let me move, claiming he wants to take care of me. He fixed breakfast and lunch, and now, we're lazing on the couch."You asked about my family earlier. What about yours?" I snuggle closer to him under a blanket.This is one of my favorite things to do with him. He doesn't sit still for long, so when I can get him to cuddle and simply hold me, I take full advantage of it."I was adopted. My parents were good people, and they adopted me later in life, after trying for so long to have a child of their own. They taught me everything about living off the land and wre one of those couples that were just meant to be parents. When they adopted me as a baby, they were already in their late forties. They have since passed on.""Oh, Axel, I'm so sorry. Have you ever wanted to find your birth parents?""I did find them right after my parents died, and before I moved out here. They're still druggies who didn't care about anyt

Axel is visibly frustrated about the knock on the door. I'm guessing he doesn't get many visitors out here. So, I'm not surprised, when he grabs his shotgun, before opening the door. If someone is here, that means the road is open, so it could be anyone. He's told me that his friends won't bother him, unless they need help. Maybe, that's the case, or Phoenix came to check on him and officially meet me?He cracks the door open enough to see who it is and talk to them. From where I am in the kitchen, I can't see anything, but I can hear it all.Expecting Phoenix, I'm shocked by the voice I hear, and it almost knocks me flat on my ass."Is Sydney here?" That voice I'm not too thrilled to hear asks.Of course, he would ruin a great day like today. I step behind Axel and look at Stephen in disbelief."Stephen? What the hell are you doing here?When his eyes land on me the relief floods his face, while in the same moment tension fills
