‘I know, baby. But it won’t be too much longer. I promise.’
Allie nodded in my arms and gave me a soft, trusting smile that made me desperate to prove to her that she was mine, even if it were just a declaration between the two of us. Sliding open the patio doors, I felt the warm sea breeze around my legs as I guided her onto the balcony and over to the railing.
I wasn’t able to publicly announce our relationship yet, but I could do the next best thing. Leaving Allie where she stood, I climbed up onto the balcony rail using one of the upright supports, and raised my arm up and out into the breeze.
‘Sean? What are doing? Get down! Don’t bloody slip …’
Clearing my throat, I winked at Allie and gave a dramatic sweep of my free arm in her direction. ‘This woman here,’ I yelled to no one but the beach and sea, ‘is the love of my entire life!’ Allie’s cheeks reddened and her eyes bugged out, but seeing the thrilled grin spread on her lips I continued. ‘I love her more than she knows, more than I ever thought possible. I even love her more than she loves chocolate!’
Swinging my arms wildly in the wind, I sobered my expression and stared at her intently. ‘And one day I’m going to marry her, right here on this beach, and make her mine forever.’
I might have been hanging from the balcony, but I didn’t miss the gasp that flew from Allie’s lips at my spontaneous declaration. She might have been shocked, but every single word was true. I did love her, and I would marry her. Preferably sooner, rather than later.
Jumping down from the rail, I immediately dropped to one knee and grabbed her left hand, prompting her already wide eyes to almost burst from their sockets.
‘I’m not going to ask you today, because I know the issues with Savannah are still troubling you,’ I reassured her, my thumb caressing her ring finger, suddenly desperate to see a band there. ‘But you need to be prepared for it, Allie, because one day soon I’m going to be down on one knee asking you to marry me, and I hope with all my heart and soul that you’ll say yes.’
We shared an intense stare for several seconds, then Allie gave herself a small shake, licked her lips, and gave a tiny acknowledging nod of her head. I wasn’t sure if she was saying yes to the idea of me proposing in the future, or was agreeing to marry me, but I didn’t push the subject any further, instead deciding to show her just how much I loved her.
She was mine, and as primal as it sounded, I really needed to bury myself in her body to reassure myself that was still the case.
Springing up from my crouched position, I slid both of my hands into her hair and dragged her forwards onto my waiting lips. I’d planned to give her a deep, gentle kiss, but instead it morphed into a desperate, hungry clash of teeth, tongues, and lips as we both seemed to explode into a lusty mass of clutching hands.
The next moment I was dragging her sundress up over her belly, reluctantly separating our lips for just a second as I pulled the material over her head and threw it onto one of the loungers. The sight of her beautiful breasts met my gaze and I sucked in a breath of surprise. Bra-less? I loved that little sundress even more now.
‘What if someone sees us, Sean?’ Allie asked, covering her breasts and giving a wary glance out over the sand.
‘Private beach,’ I muttered, and as soon as the words were out of my mouth, Allie wasted no time in grinning and grabbing the hem of my T-shirt to peel it from my chest before adding it to the growing pile of clothes on the sun bed.
Dropping to my knees, I promptly buried my face in the silk of her panties, causing Allie to groan and sway on her feet as her hands fell to my head and clutched at my hair. Sliding my hands around her gorgeous arse, I gripped a lush cheek in each hand and pulled her snug against my lips as I placed a long kiss there and inhaled deeply. God, she smelt incredible – clean silk, sweet, and with a musky undertone to indicate her arousal.
We’d barely started and she was turned on. I fucking loved that.
Slipping a finger under the lace on either side of her hips, I dragged the panties down her legs, tapping each ankle in turn to get her to step out of them. Leaning back, I let my greedy gaze run over her beautiful body as the sun illuminated it, from the painted tips of her toes to her erect nipples, flushed cheeks, and wild hair that was blowing in the breeze like a golden halo, making her look almost angelic.
It was apt because she was my angel. She’d appeared in my life at a point where I’d started to think I would always be alone. But now there was Allie, and I couldn’t ever imagine not having her.
Her delicate fingers buried in my hair again, waking me from my trance and prompting me to get this scene back on track. I placed a hot, open-mouthed kiss just above her sex and then stood up, intent on well and truly worshipping her.
I had an urge to take things further than we had before, so I looked around for something to tie her hands with. A little light bondage had always appealed to me, and I had a feeling my girl might enjoy it too. I came up empty, but I had a sudden idea and slid the belt from my shorts. Quickly fastening it into a small loop, I held it out in front of me. ‘Wrists, please.’
Allie raised an eyebrow but followed my instruction without complaint, and once the soft leather was tightened, I turned her to face the view and secured the other end of the belt around the balcony rail, fastening her into a forward facing position.
Dropping to my haunches I took hold of her right ankle, turned her leg outwards slightly, and helped lift her foot onto the mid rail so she was opened up to the sea breeze.
Opened ready for me.
Staying on my knees, I worked myself into the gap between her body and the railings and positioned myself so my head had the most perfect fucking view of her. God, she was perfect. Not to mention trusting. Allie was above me in the open air, one leg turned outwards, exposing herself to me in the most intimate of positions, and she hadn’t uttered one word of complaint.
Running my hands reverently up her inner thighs, I watched in fascination as her skin quivered below my touch until a shiver ran through her entire body.
‘Oh, Sean.’ Glancing up I saw her watching me in aroused fascination, so keeping eye contact I leant forwards and teased her clit briefly with the point of my tongue. Her eyes fluttered shut, mouth parting into a very satisfying ‘O’ of pleasure as she shifted her hips to bring her core even closer to my lips.
Fucking perfect.
Smiling smugly, I gripped her thighs tighter and really got to work by running my tongue across her throbbing flesh, lapping up her juices as I went and then sucking her clit into my mouth. Hard.
Allie bucked against me, yelping and writhing, but I held on tight and continued with my pleasurable torture. Swirling my tongue around her clit several times earned me a groan of contentment so I bit down with just the amount of pressure I knew she loved, and was this time rewarded with a noise that closely resembled a growl. Moving one hand to her core I pressed two fingers against her entrance and hummed in appreciation as her body greedily sucked them in.
Instead of going slow, I thrust right in to the knuckles, pausing briefly so I could watch as I drove my fingers deeply into her again.
Mine. She was mine, and no one would ever touch her like this ever again except for me. That thought might have been proprietary and terrifying for some men, but I wasn’t scared of commitment any more, I would love Allie and keep her safe for the rest of my life.
Allie’s hips rotated against me, so I happily complied and spread some of her moisture around her opening before giving her more, adding a third finger to the mix and relishing the moan that slid from her mouth. Fuck, she was just so sexy. Her body drove me wild. The three fingers were a tight fit, but as soon as I began to lap at her clit again I felt Allie’s muscles gradually relaxing until they suddenly gave a small spasm and I realised just how close she was.
Thrusting with more force, I curled my fingers to hit her g-spot and increased the suction with my mouth so I could literally feel her clit heating and swelling from my a
ttention. I could hear the belt rattling as Allie thrashed against her bindings so I decided to let her have exactly what she wanted.
Taking the little bundle of nerves in between my teeth again I started to rhythmically tug on her clit in time with my thrusts, and after just a few seconds, Allie made a strangled mewl and then exploded into a climax so strong that it briefly stopped the movement of my fingers with her clenching muscles. Gradually working her down from her peak, I licked her juices and slowed my fingers until she had come down from her high and let out a satisfied moan.
Not wasting a second, I edged my way out from my crouched position and practically ripped off my boxers and shorts before positioning myself behind her. Gripping Allie’s hips, I adjusted her legs again to make sure her right leg was still spread nice and wide for me, and then pressed the tip off my cock into her welcoming warmth. My hips jerked with the need to be deeper, and she was so wet that I didn’t have any of our usual issues with the tight fit and slid in all the way to the root with my first thrust.
Pausing in that deeply joined position, I stopped, groaning out long and low as I lowered my head and kissed her shoulder over and over again in between panted, ragged breaths. My hands reached around her to cup her breasts and I played with her nipples as I soaked up the amazing sensation of being completely buried inside my woman.
‘I love you, Sean,’ Allie mumbled, her voice rough and sexy, but I was so desperate to come that I could barely even form an answer. Growling loudly, I lowered my hands and gripped her waist so tightly that my fingertips turned white, and pulled out of her before burying myself inside her so hard that we both let out strangled cries of shocked pleasure into the midday air.
‘Holy shit. You feel so fucking good, Allie. Was that too hard, baby?’
‘It. Was. Perfect,’ she murmured, each word punctuated with a roll of her arse so the physical contact between us became as close as possible. Her words were my green light for more, and so widening my stance I began to thrust into her in long, deep strokes, looking down to watch in fascination as my cock disappeared inside her willing body on each movement.
Fuck. That was such an erotic sight.
When I was satisfied that she was building towards release again, I slid a hand around and used two fingers to roll and rub at her swollen clit. Considering she was attached to the rail, Allie was doing a damn good job of writhing against me, and as I sped up my thrusts and rubbed at her clit almost furiously, she bucked and began to come.
Her channel was clenching around my cock, increasing the friction deliciously and making me lose all control as my hips began to jerk back and forth with abandon. As she let out a loud scream I felt my climax explode from the base of my balls and soak her hot insides in a seemingly never-ending series of jerks and twitches.
Mine.
Allie’s head collapsed backwards onto my shoulder and I desperately sought her mouth with mine and kissed her slowly and deeply as I gentled my thrusts and brought us down from our climaxes.
My girl had gone lax against me, clearly worn out from her two orgasms, so I supported her weight with one hand and reached around with the other to undo the belt just as her legs gave way and buckled.
Scooping Allie up, I only just managed to get my own wobbly legs to walk us to one of the sun loungers before I sank down onto the soft cover with a relieved sigh. That climax had been so powerful I’d actually thought I might drop Allie for a second there, which certainly wouldn’t have been my smoothest ever move.
The lounger wasn’t massive, but I managed to manoeuvre us so that we were face to face with our legs entwined and faces just centimetres apart. As we enjoyed our post-coital afterglow, Allie blinked lazily then gazed around. ‘It really is a great apartment Sean, I love it. Especially the balcony,’ she added cheekily, making me chuckle and lean forward to drop a kiss on the end of her nose.
Pausing in her thoughts, Allie licked her lips as if preparing to say more. ‘Actually, talking of apartments … my three weeks at the Beverly Hills Hotel is almost up now.’
Assuming she was bringing this up because she wanted me to extend the booking, I shook my head dismissively and gave a nonchalant shrug. ‘No worries, I can extend your stay.’
Allie shifted forward and chewed on her lower lip, which I knew was a sign that she had something to tell me. Why she didn’t just come out with it concerned me, and I frowned as I waited for whatever bombshell she was going to drop.
‘It’s been so generous of you to pay for the hotel, Sean, but I kinda want to be independent again. I feel embarrassed that you pay for me, I’m not with you for your money. Cait’s asked me to move in with her, and I’ve agreed.’ Narrowing my eyes, I found my head shaking firmly before I’d even fully digested her words.
‘You are not going back to that fucking backpacker’s hostel, Allie. Not over my dead body. The place is falling down as it is, not to mention its total disregard for security.’ I could feel my eye twitching at just the thought of her going back to that shithole. Closing my eyes for a few seconds to control myself, I re-opened them to find a soft smile playing on her lips. It made me feel more than a little defensive, so I frowned, sat up, and crossed my arms. ‘What?’
My girl tried, and failed, to wipe the smirk off her face before she gave a small shrug. ‘It’s sweet when you get all protective.’ Hmm. She’d hit the nail right on the head, and there really was no point trying to deny it. As pathetically pussy-whipped as it made me appear, I was protective over her, hugely so, and possessive. It was how I was made. Or perhaps it was how she made me, who knew?
‘Anyway, you don’t need to get your knickers in a twist, Sean, we’re not going back to the hostel. Cait’s found a house for us.’
A house … that was certainly better than a hostel, but LA had some dodgy as fuck areas, so I was going to need more details before she had me convinced.
‘Whereabouts is it?’ I tried to keep my tone cool and casual, but judging by the continued smile trying to break free on her lips, I had obviously failed miserably.
‘Right opposite Dynamic. The guy who interviewed her said that employees get a discount on rent too. It’s in a complex called Studio City, have you heard of it?’
Now my shoulders really did relax. Not only was that a decent part of town, but Studio City was a relatively new development and I’d heard good things about it. Very good things.
‘I have, it’s a great complex, and very secure.’ Allie gave me another amused smiled, and I realised she was merely humouring me. She would have moved there anyway, even if I’d said no. A small grumble rose in my throat at her independent, stubborn streak. She drove me wild sometimes.
‘I haven’t seen it yet, but Cait said that while it is small, it’s perfectly formed. Really safe too, apparently there’s double security, so you go through the main entrance and then have another security gate depending on which sector of the compound your house is in.’
Nodding my head, I tried to recall the layout when I’d visited a friend last year. ‘That’s right, it’s split into boulevards, I think. Some of the actors live there.’ I gave another contented nod, feeling relaxed now I knew Allie would be safe, and then a wicked thought sprang to my mind. ‘There’ll be no sneaking in to see you when you move there. I’d never get past all the guards.’ I tried my best attempt at a pout, but my mind was elsewhere. More precisely, I was remembering how I had told Allie that I might sneak into her room one night and surprise her. The very idea made my cock twitch, even though I’d just come.
Could I fit in some intruder role play before she left the hotel? I’d certainly have to try.
We hadn’t discussed what I’d just done to her, but using the belt to secure her had been our first real venture into non-vanilla sex. I knew for sure that I had enjoyed it, and it had certainly seemed that Allie had too, but perhaps it would be best to check. ‘Did you enjoy being tied up with the belt?’ I asked cautiously.
If possible, her cheeks got even redder and I
couldn’t help but smile at her shy streak as I moved closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
‘You must know I did,’ she mumbled softly, one of her hands moving to my thigh and giving it a gentle squeeze. ‘I came harder than a point 7 earthquake.’
‘So being tied up is something we can try more of?’ Bloody hell, just thinking about Allie’s soft, lithe body tied up in various positions caused me to get an instant erection as I felt blood rushing to my groin at the X-rated images in my head.
‘Yeah … experimentation is fun.’
Fan-bloody-tastic. I had been hoping she’d say that, because now we’d ventured down that path a little I had a few more things I wanted to try with her. Like intruder role play, for a start.
I left Allie lying on the lounger while I disappeared inside to grab something to clean us up. Pausing by the bathroom counter I scowled when I couldn’t find any flannels. Damn it. I made a mental note to get some wash cloths for this apartment, and then grabbed a hand towel from the pile instead.
Allie
As I lay there in a state of blissful satiation, a huge grin began to spread on my lips as I thought back over the last hour. I couldn’t believe I’d let Sean tie me to the balcony and spread me wide open for all and sundry to see. A delirious giggle gurgled up my throat as I shook my head in amusement. Well, I sort of could believe it. I tended to get lost in a dream-like state whenever Sean was around and just blindly follow his lead, but still, sex outdoors on an exposed balcony like this was a first for me. Private beach or not, it had felt decidedly risqué, but I couldn’t deny that I had loved every minute.
The grin on my face sobered slightly as I recalled his earlier emotional declarations. The way he’d dropped down onto one knee had nearly made my eyeballs burst from their sockets in shock. Did he really plan on proposing to me?
What the heck would my reply be?
