Be My First: A Billionaire and Virgin Romance
Page 34
“Maybe I should tell her about this?” He wondered as he walked. Finally, he went back to the room again. He peaked in first to see if she was talking again or not, but it was silent. As he went further into the room he noticed she was sleeping in the chair. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed, and covered her up.
Byron went and got comfortable in the chair. Soon his eyes closed and he was fast asleep.
***
Heather woke up confused. She looked around, unsure where she was at first. As the fog of sleep cleared from her mind she remembered yesterday. She looked around the room and saw that Byron was across the room sleeping in a chair.
She couldn’t help but smile at how sweet he had been the night before. She knew for a fact that it had to have been him who had moved her to the bed. He had covered her up, and then chosen to not even sleep in his own bed.
Heather got up and went to check on Samuel, he was just opening his eyes and the first sounds of his cries hit the air. She picked him up quickly and tried to calm him down until she got his breakfast ready. She had hoped to let Byron sleep, but she heard him moving behind her.
“Here you are.” He said and handed her Samuel’s milk.
“Thank you, I’m sorry I was trying to get it done before he woke you up.” She smiled.
“I wake up at the first peep he makes. But thank you for the thought.” Byron said and smiled at her.
“Thank you for moving me to the bed. I would have slept in the chair though if you wanted the bed.” Heather said.
“I just didn’t want to scare you when you woke up and found me beside you, so I decided to sleep in the chair last night.” Byron stated.
She looked at him; he had a strange look on his face, like he was thinking of something that made him really happy.
He noticed the confused look she had and laughed. “I have something to tell you that may help explain this better. So just please listen to what I tell you.” Byron said.
“Okay, you listened to me; it’s only fair you get a chance to speak.” Heather said.
“Remember when we first met in the woods?” He asked.
He watched as she blushed a bit. “Yes I was just thinking of it last night. You were an obnoxious boy then.” She said.
“I was yes. But it wasn’t that I didn’t think you could handle being in the woods. Did you notice how much I tried to get you to talk to me on the way home?” He asked her.
“Honestly I was so upset that you were forcing me to go back home. But the worst part was I knew you were right. Anyone could have come up in the woods on me and hurt me really badly. I didn’t want to admit it, but I was scared shaking all the way home thinking about it.” Heather admitted.
“I fell in love with you on that day.” He blurted out.
Heather looked at him quickly, studying his face for a lie. But she saw no hint of untruth in his eyes. But she wasn’t able to process the thought fully yet. “What did you just say?” She asked when she could finally speak.
“I tried to come and see you several times after that, but you would never talk to me much. I know you remember that too.” Byron looked at her for reassurance that he wasn’t remembering the past differently than it had actually happened.
“I was far too embarrassed at first, and then Kaiden had come around. He would hurt me every time he saw me talking to another man. I didn’t like being hit, so I had to avoid all men from that day forward.” Heather thought back to the many painful beatings he had committed against her.
She looked and saw that his face was furious with anger. “He’s lucky he’s dead, or I would kill him right now.” Byron said the anger could be heard in his voice.
“It’s okay, he’s gone and the physical wounds have all healed.” Heather said trying to calm the obviously upset Byron.
“I just can’t help think what would have happened if my father wouldn’t have made me marry Priscilla.” Byron said.
“Why, Kaiden already had me under lock and key, what could you have done?” She asked.
“I was going to come and ask you to marry me. I was going to talk to my father that very night he told me about Priscilla. If I would have found him and seen you, and there would have been even one mark on you, I would have killed him. I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble; we would tell everyone what he was doing. Then I would have married you instead, and we could have had all these years together now.” Byron said.
Heather smiled, she liked the idea. “That would have been nice. But were you still as obnoxious at that time as you were when you were 18?” She asked.
Byron laughed. “I was probably quite a bit more obnoxious, I was 23 years old then.”
“So why do you think I would have married you?” Heather asked.
“Heather, I would have told you that I love you very much. Plus remember I would have killed the man who was hurting you. You would run into my arms and see me as your fearless protector.” He stated. “I couldn’t believe my luck to find you in the village yesterday. I hadn’t seen you in years. I stopped coming around after my father told me the news. I honestly couldn’t bear to see the woman I loved and I was married to another.” Byron said.
She looked at him and studied his face again. Again Heather tried to register the fact that Byron had just told her this story. He had told he had been in love with her for years now? I was 21 back then when he’s talking about, she thought. “I wonder what it would have been like.” Heather thought out loud.
“I know, I thought about it last night a lot.” Byron admitted. I tried to put you out of my mind as much as I could after Priscilla. But honestly it was the worst years of my life with her. I never loved her, how could I my heart always belonged to you. I had loved you since that first day in the forest. You were so defiant and strong. You made my blood boil!” He blushed red at the admission.
Heather also turned a bright red color. She could feel the heat coming off of her body at his comment. For the first time in her life, she actually wanted to think about having sex. The admission itself made her blush once more.
“Heather, I’ve waited for so many years to be with you, I wish you would simply give me a chance to prove to you that I love you.” Byron got down on one knee in front of her. “Heather, will you do me the honor of marrying me?” He asked.
She looked down at him shocked. She hadn’t expected it at all. Her mind shouted out, “do it”, her heart bulked for a second. In the end her mouth answered for her, “I will marry you.” Her heart cried out in fear instantly. Heather knew she would have to learn to trust him, even though he had never done a thing to hurt her. Kaiden had ruined her capacity to trust any man in the world.
Byron took Samuel out of her hands and put him in his crib. He went back to Heather once more and hugged her. He kissed her lightly on the lips. “You’ve made me so happy today.” He smiled down at her.
She sighed as he held her closely to him. She felt safe in his arms; Heather could swear that she would be able to trust him. Though the fear was still there, she felt a bit better already, just by being in his embrace.
***
Weeks had gone by quickly. Heather had no doubt that she was madly in love with Byron now. He had been patient with her and never even raised his voice at her. She looked over at him as he ate his supper.
“How was your day?” He asked her.
“It was good. How are you so patient with me? You haven’t even pushed having sex yet.” Heather asked him.
Byron looked at her. “I love you Heather, I told you I wouldn’t push you.” He stated.
“I love you too Byron. I knew it at first, but really didn’t want to admit it. I was still scared of you being like Kaiden and hurting me. But you really aren’t that type of man. I am lucky to be your wife.” Heather told him.
He took her in his arms and kissed her deeply. She sighed, his soft lips felt so nice against her lips. Byron hadn’t even kissed her in the past few weeks. He had been able to tell she had been fri
ghtened every night they had gone to bed in the past few weeks since they married. He knew she had expected him to demand sex from her. In all reality he figured he had waited this many years a little longer wasn’t a big deal. So instead he had done his best to not push her away and prove that he wasn’t just after her body and nothing more. The reason he had done this is because Heather had asked him about something she had overheard from one of the staff of the castle.
“Byron, I heard someone talking today saying you simply married to have more children. Is that true?” Heather had asked him one night. He had looked at her and seen that the comment had really upset her.
“No darling. I told you I love you. Think about it, if I wanted for you to simply carry my children, wouldn’t I have already forced you to have sex with me?” He had asked her.
“I know this, but maybe you’re simply being patient because you don’t want me to put up a fight.” She had answered back.
He had asked for the name of the person who had said this, and she wouldn’t tell him. If he ever found out they would be dismissed immediately.
“Heather, I want to make love to you, but only if you are ready.” Byron said to her.
She looked up at him and nodded her head yes. He came closer to her and took her into his arms again. He kissed her deeply again, and heard the telltale sighs out of her mouth.
He undressed her slowly and enjoyed the sight of her body. “You are beautiful.” Byron said. He looked over her body with great appreciation.
Heather felt a blush spread on her skin and she went to cover up her breasts and lower region with her hands. He grabbed her hands and gently moved them aside. “Don’t hide yourself from me; I’ve waited for years to see you like this. Let me enjoy it, please.” He stated.
She didn’t feel dirty as he looked at her and ran his fingers lightly over her body. Heather felt a shiver of anticipation spread over her and into her lower regions. She could feel her legs quiver as she became more excited by his kisses and touches.
He lowered her to the bed and suckled on her breasts, biting her nipples and bringing out a low moan from Heather. Byron ran his fingers down to her sex and played, making her moist and ready. His hard member found its way to her hole and he slowly slide into her body. She arched her back to meet his thrusts.
Soon they were breathing heavily and Heather could feel an odd feeling rushing through her body. Suddenly her juices were exploding as a climax hit her hard. “Byron, oh that feels so good.” She moaned out.
He kissed her hard as he thrust into her a few more times and emptied his seed deeply into her womb. He fell to the side of her on the bed. “That was better than I could have ever imagined in my life.” Byron said.
“I can honestly say I’ve never enjoyed sex before now.” Heather looked at him and stated.
Bryon kissed her, “I’m glad you enjoyed it!” He pulled her close and they fell asleep until Samuel woke them up a few hours later.
***
Heather found out she enjoyed having sex more than she ever thought would be possible. Byron was a very caring lover. He would always make sure she had a climax before he would finish. Plus she had to admit she loved the intimacy between them when they made love.
However, she had found out that Samuel would often wake up and interrupt their love making. She couldn’t get mad at the small boy, and often she and Byron would end up laughing about Samuel’s timing.
Her life seemed to be close to perfect. She couldn’t believe that Byron had almost married her so many years before.
“Honey I think I’m going to have to go to battle in the North.” Byron told her as they sat eating breakfast.
Samuel was in the crib they had downstairs for him; he had already eaten and was rolling over playfully.
“I don’t want you to go. Can’t you just send the men up a stay with me?” Heather said. She already knew the answer of course; she knew the type of man she was married too.
“You know I can’t send the men off by themselves, what kind of Lord would I be?” He asked.
“I know, it’s just I’ve never had happiness like this before and what if you don’t come back?” She asked.
“Nothing will keep me away from you.” He stated. Byron got up and came over to her and kissed her. “I love you Heather, I will make it back her for you and Samuel. Don’t worry about me.” He said.
Heather couldn’t help but worry about him though. “When do you have to leave?” She asked.
“I’ll leave tomorrow. We are trying to help the other clan flank this army before they push through the country side. Please while I’m gone be very careful. There may be problems here as well. Be safe and keep our boy safe as well.” Byron stated.
“Nothing will happen to Samuel I’ll protect him with my life.” Heather commented.
“I want to come home to both of you.” Byron kissed her. “My love for you both will bring me back safely!” He said and kissed her again.
“I hope so my dear, it would be horrible to lose you after finally finding love.” Heather’s eyes shined brightly with the unshed tears that were threatening to pour down her face.
Byron looked at her again. “Don’t cry my dear, I will be back as soon as I can be, and we still have tonight.” He smiled at her.
He took her upstairs and made love to her. Byron savored every inch of her body, he would miss seeing and touching her. But the war was something that he couldn’t avoid. If he were to not go, it would surely hurt his kingdom. His ally would think that Byron had turned his back on their treaty, and would possible even take it as a sign of war between their two sides. He wanted to keep the fights as far away from his family as possible.
Heather smiled at him as they lay in their peaceful bliss after they had sex. “Hurry back my love, my body shall miss your touch so.”
“I will miss touching you and having you touch me as well!” Byron stated and pulled her closely to him.
“Shall I go and get Samuel now?” Heather asked. They had left the little boy with one of the maid’s downstairs.
“No I’ll go get him, you just sit down and relax and continue to look beautiful.” He smiled as he walked out the door after getting dressed.
She thought about him and was worried about him losing his life in this war. But she also believed that he would fight tooth and nail for survival. She had no doubt about his love for her and Samuel. Heather thought about how different her life was now, compared to before. In the beginning of their relationship Byron was so patient with her, he still was, but she wasn’t the same person either.
She had grown a lot in these months they had been together. Her love for Byron was burning brightly in her body and seemed to grow even stronger each day. She didn’t know how it was possible to love him more the next day, but she knew it was true.
Byron opened up the door and carried in Samuel. “There’s mommy, look at her isn’t she beautiful Samuel?” He said as they came in.
Heather smiled at him. “Oh there’s my little handsome man.” She watched as Samuel got a huge smile on his face. “He looks so much like you when he smiles!” She commented to Byron.
Byron handed Samuel to Heather to hold. She curled him up in her arms and gave him a kiss. “I love you Samuel.” She said and heard his vocalizations in response. “Oh I think he almost said mommy!” She said.
“I think it sounded more like Daddy!” Byron argued back.
They both laughed. The sound hadn’t been close to either of the words, but they were looking forward to his first words coming out soon!
“I hope you don’t miss his first words.” Heather said looking up at Byron.
“I don’t plan to be gone long at all.” Byron said.
“How long do you think?” She asked. She had wanted to ask before, but was worried about the number that would come out of his mouth.
“Maybe a couple of months, at least that’s what I’m hoping for!” Byron said.
“That’s so long.” Heath
er looked down at Samuel and tried to raise her mood by the little boys smiling face. It helped a lot, but she still didn’t like the fact that Byron would be gone for even a day.
“I’ll try to make it quicker, but it takes at least a week to get there. We have a long ride ahead of us, and most likely I should have left today. But in all honestly, I couldn’t. I needed one more day with you and Samuel.” Byron admitted.
“So that means you’re leaving soon now aren’t you?” She asked. Heather knew he had originally said he would leave the next day. But she could see the look in his eyes. It was a look she knew well. He was thinking of his obligations to his allies and if he was successfully being a good ruler or not. In his mind the fact of waiting longer to leave for a battle that was going on right now just didn’t work. He couldn’t see how he was being a good ally to anyone. “It’s okay I understand, I know how you are Byron.” She said.
He sighed heavily. “In such a short amount of time you know me all too well. I have to go now. I don’t know if the enemy has attacked yet or not, but I should be there soon.” He admitted.
“Samuel, daddy has to go for a bit, let’s give him kisses goodbye.” Heather said to the little boy. He turned his head and looked up at his father. Samuel opened up his arms and smiled and made a kissing face.
“Come here my boy, I’ll miss you like crazy. If you were older you could take good care of mommy for me.” Byron said to the boy and kissed him.
Byron put Samuel down on the bed and took Heather in his arms. “I love you Heather, please take care of our little boy while I’m gone. I promise to hurry back to you both.” Byron kissed her hard and turned to go.
“I love you too Byron, please come back safely to us.” Heather said as he left the room.

“Mrs. Laird Ailen McDougal here to see you, should I show him in?” One of the men servant’s came into the study where Heather and Samuel were at. It had already been a month since Byron had left to fight.
“Yes show him in.” Heather said to the servant. She looked down at Samuel; she wasn’t sure who this Laird was, so she picked up the boy and moved him into a little area they had blocked off for him to play. It was further from the door. She couldn’t take a chance that this might be an enemy and he was coming to do harm to Samuel.
