Broken: A Mountain Man's Romance

by Mia Ford, Bella Winters

  Ben rolls his eyes but the idea of a big white wedding gets me excited. I’ve always dreamed about my big special day and the thought that Ben could be at the other end of the aisle is an awesome idea. I would absolutely love for him to be my husband and with the way things are going at the moment I can’t see that changing.

  “But she hasn’t ever met me,” I joke instead of saying all of that. “She might hate me, how can she think that we should get married.”

  “Oh the description of you was enough, trust me.”

  I want to ask Ben what she said, I’m really intrigued to know how Ben would speak about me to others, but I can’t ask. If he doesn’t want to divulge the information then what can I do? I just nod and say nothing, internally praying that he’ll reveal all anyway.

  “Then she got out all these pictures of Dad and started saying that I look like him.” Oh, okay, this conversation has taken a much more serious tone. “It was weird because when she talks about him I don’t know what to say. Sometimes I don’t think she realises that.”

  “I’m sure she wants to just keep him alive and part of your history,” I reply gravely. “I’m sure she assumes that she’s helping when she talks about him.”

  Ben doesn’t say anything but I can see him contemplating my words. It’s like I can see the cogs in his brain spinning at a million miles an hour. I remain silent and let him think things through, while enjoying my breakfast. I never had food as good as this back at the apartment, I always had to buy the cheapest of the cheap. I’m sure I’m going to put on a lot of weight while being here and it tastes so good that I don’t even care.

  “Anyway, I don’t want to worry about that today.” He stands up and puts his empty plate on the kitchen side. “If you’re going to force me back into work then I need to get my head back in the game.”

  “Right. So why don’t you tell me what you have to do today? Maybe that will help you get your head in the game.”

  He leans over me and places kisses all over my cheeks. “I don’t want to talk about work, I want to talk about you.”

  I jump up and laugh. He thinks that he’s about to lure me into something sexual this morning, I can tell by the glint in his eyes, but he isn’t. Much as I’m tempted I would much rather him get into the office. I’m concerned about his company, I might not understand anything about it but I’m sure he’s the key element. The last thing I want is for him to end up resenting me because I’ve made him fail.

  “I’ll tell you what.” I lean up and kiss him again. “Why don’t you go to work now, and I’ll send you sexy little text messages all day long. I don’t have work today at all so I can focus solely on you. When you can’t hack it anymore, come home and we’ll do whatever you want.”

  “Urgh, you’re killing me,” he groans. “That is such a hot idea, but what if I can’t hack it for very long?”

  “Oh I think you will,” I smirk back. “Because you know for a fact that the messages will get better and better throughout the day. It might be delayed gratification but you know that it’ll be worth it.”

  Finally he takes a step back from me and he runs his eyes up and down my body, dragging them slowly over. “You really know how to play the game, Serena. I think I might have met my match in you.”

  I wiggle my hips playfully and send him a wink. I want to keep him on his toes, I love that he feels that way about me. The way that Ben sees me honestly brings me right out of my shell. “You certainly have. Now get to work. I shall see you when you get home.”

  “Fine, but I want my first message before I even get there.”

  I walk him to the door and wave him off, already feeling like a wife. My brain spins, trying to plan my first text to Ben that will start things off in a slow and sexy way, but before the car is even out of sight it rings. I half think it might be Ben trying something new with me, but the name on the screen tells me that it’s my best friend.

  “Jenny!” I crow into the handset. “How are you? How is life out at sea?”

  “Good, good.” Her voice is distant which reminds me just how far away she is. “Things are really great, I’m loving life as a dancer, I think that’s what I was always meant to be.”

  “Oh that’s wonderful.” I can be genuine with my happiness for her now that I have my life settled too. “I’m so glad to hear about it. It’s good that you’ve found your life’s calling. Where are you right now?”

  “Headed towards somewhere in Asia. I’m not sure exactly.” She pauses for a moment. “How are you doing?”

  “I’m good actually.” I feel pleased that I can actually say that and be truthful. “Things are working out alright.”

  “You found somewhere to live in the end?”

  Admittedly I haven’t told her the truth about what I’m doing but that’s because I know she’ll freak. She’s a bit of a cynic when it comes to romance, nothing like me. I smile to myself but still remain evasive for the time being.

  “Yes, I found somewhere. I’m still at the club too, but not as a shot girl anymore, behind the bar.”

  “There’s less money in that,” Jenny warns. “But I’m sure you’re much happier. I probably should have thought about that for you in the first place.”

  “Oh don’t you worry about that, it all worked out okay in the end. It’s good to hear from you though, I didn’t think I’d get anything for about ten months!”

  “Hey, I promised to keep in touch and that’s what I’m going to do.”

  We chat for a while about some of the hot guys that she works with now, with the promise of pictures to follow. I’m so happy to hear from Jenny, I’m glad we can keep our friendship alive, but I’ll keep things with me and Ben a secret from her for now... at least until I work out just how serious we are about one another. Once I’m certain that we’ll go the distance I’ll tell her everything... she’ll be so damn surprised.

  Chapter Fifteen – Ben

  ‘Come home now, baby, I can’t wait any longer... xxx’

  The final message attached with a picture that shows her finger starting to dip into her panties is the last step. I’ve got a semi productive day of work done, which has been hard since the messages have been getting steamier over time, but now I cannot cope. I need to get home now before I explode. I keep nagging the driver to get me there quicker, but obvious just as is my luck, there’s endless traffic.

  Finally I get close enough to jump out of the car and I pretty much run. I don’t even care how I look to the rest of the world, my eyes are on the prize and all I can think about is the end goal. Serena, and those fingers of hers.

  “Hey,” I yell out as the door swings open. “Where are you?”

  “Oh, I’m in the living room,” she groans. “I couldn’t wait any longer for you.”

  “Fucking hell.” I drop all my stuff on the floor and tear into the room to join her. She’s spread across the couch running her fingers up and down what I imagine is a very wet slit. “Oh, girl, you are sexy aren’t you?”

  I jump on the couch with her and move my fingers over her. I guide her in and out of herself, over her clit, all while kissing her tenderly. She was right about one thing, the delayed gratification thing is a good game and one that I’ve never played before. Before I met Serena I couldn’t even wait until the end of the party to have sex, now I’ve waited all day long.

  “Oh, you’re so wet,” I murmur into her mouth. “It’s so sexy.”

  Her back arches and her hips roll into me. “Oh, that’s because I’ve been thinking about you all day long. You’ve been making me hot as hell.”

  She’s killing me, I’m actually dying. My cock is straining painfully against my trousers, it’s about ready to explode. “Don’t say things like that,” I growl. “You’re killing me.”

  She flips me around until I’m sitting and she slumps to the floor on her knees. I want to ask her what’s going on, but I don’t get a chance to because her fingers start fiddling with my zip, needing it down. I try to help her beca
use I want to be freed too, but my fingers are trembling too much for me to do so. I’m in such a state that I can’t even pull my dick out.

  “Ooh, someone looks excited,” Serena gasps once I’m free. “Seems like the sexy texts have been working then.”

  “You have no idea how well.”

  Serena wraps her fingers around my cock and she slides her hand up and down me. My eyes fall closed and my head lolls to one side. I give myself over to the sensations completely and it feels so good. She pumps me slowly, but it’s nice. I like the slower pace because it means I don’t lose myself quite so quickly...

  Oh, spoke too soon. As Serena moves her head closer to me, forcing my thighs further apart as she goes, my breath hitches in my throat. She’s tickling me, sending me even wilder.

  “Oh fuck,” I groan. “Serena, you’re just too much. You have no idea...”

  She silences me by moving her lips in closer and wrapping them tightly around me. She moves her mouth up and down me, flicking her tongue all over me. Her warm, wet lips feel incredible, I honestly don’t think it’s ever been so amazing. Maybe the feelings that I’m slowly developing for her are making it better.

  My heart thunders painfully against my rib cage, I run my hands into her hair, but not to guide her, just to feel her. Serena doesn’t need any help pleasuring me with her mouth, she’s doing an utterly phenomenal job.

  “You’re going to have to stop in a moment,” I pant breathlessly to her. “This is too much, I’m gonna lose it in a moment.”

  As Serena pulls her mouth off of me I’m disappointed, but only for a second. As she pulls herself up onto my lap to straddle me, I forget all about that. Any second now I’ll be plunging deeply into her and that’s all I care about.

  “Take your top off,” I growl as I pull her panties to one side. I’m too needy to take them right the way down. “I want to taste your nipples.”

  She whips it off just as I angle myself into her then Serena slides down onto me. The tight fit that she gives me sends me wild every single freaking time and this is no different. A loud groan flies out of my mouth, I can barely contain myself. This is going to be quick, and probably not enough.

  I take her nipple in my mouth as she rides up and down me which causes Serena to flip her hair back, to toss her head back, and to pick up the pace. My cock is hot and trembling, I can barely keep it in any longer, the whole day of foreplay is overwhelming me already.

  “Stop, stop.” I gush, pushing her off me. “Just... give me a moment, I don’t want to lose it too soon.” Every time I’m with Serena I want it to be special, and this is no different.

  “What’s wrong?” Serena gasps. “Don’t you like it?”

  “I like it too much, that’s the problem.”

  I rub my hands over the soft skin of her butt trying to calm myself down. My head spins with emotion and feelings for Serena, I don’t know where I am anymore. This right now feels dangerously close to love. The closest that I’ve ever been to love anyway. While she’s making me feel this good I feel like I could easily marry her and that we could go the distance.

  There’s something about Serena...

  “Do you want me in another position?”

  Oh fuck, that question is too much, it’s almost killing me. I want her in every single position, every way possible, but I suppose I have to pick just one for now. “While you’re in such a naughty mood I want you on your hands and knees on the rug on the floor... but you need to get rid of those panties first.”

  She steps back from me and slides her underwear down tantalisingly slowly. I bite down on my bottom lip as the thrill level builds to maximum again. I can’t even remember where that shy woman I first met went. Now she’s a damn goddess, she’s so sexy that it hurts. She’s like a damn fantasy from a magazine or something, too good for me.

  “Oh you’re so beautiful,” I gasp. “You have no idea what you’re doing to me right now.”

  Then she kills me by following my command exactly. She gets onto her hands and knees and peers back at me looking like something from a movie. “Come on then, what are you waiting for.”

  I strip down too, taking off absolutely everything then I move behind her. I slide into her and grip onto her hips as I thrust in and out of that perfect butt of hers. The sweet girl has officially been corrupted by me, but I think that she might have corrupted me along the way as well.

  I lean forwards to play with her clit, but since she’s in such a filthy mood today that she’s already playing with herself. That is so fucking hot, I know I can’t keep it in much longer. I shudder, I judder, my thighs tense up and soon the pleasure explodes free from me. I fill her up and her muscles clench around me as she succumbs to an orgasm at the same time as me. It feels fucking incredible to cum together. It brings those feelings for her floating to the surface all over again.

  I need to be careful, I need to ensure I don’t say something stupid like I love you. I want to be really sure before those words ever come out of my mouth. I might feel it right now, but I need to be clear headed before I say anything.

  “That... was... something else.” Serena collapses to the floor and I go with her. I wrap my arms around her and hold her to me while we both attempt to catch our breath again. “That was a long time coming today,” she laughs. “But totally worth the wait.”

  “I want you to message me like that every single day when I work, but at the same time I know that if you do my company will collapse around me.”

  I push myself into a standing position then I hold out my hand to her. I grab onto her hand and pull her up too. With her beautiful skin glistening in the light, it’s hard for me not to pull her back in and take her all over again.

  “Shall we go to bed?” I ask her breathlessly. “I can order take out and we can stay there all night long.”

  “Thank God I don’t have to work tonight, that sounds incredible.”

  We walk up the stairs hand in hand, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so content. My body is calming down now, the orgasmic bliss is fading, but the feelings remain. I still really like her, I still think she could be someone that could be my wife... maybe... one day... I don’t know, I certainly don’t feel like that’s something I want to push as far to the back of my mind as possible anymore.

  Maybe I’m changing, just that little bit more.

  “I love your bed,” Serena moans as she collapses into it. “I know I have my own room down stairs but this is honestly the best place in the whole damn world. I just hate it when you try to drag me out of it.”

  “Well you can stay in it as long as you want because my bed likes you in there too.”

  I move into the bed next to Serena and I pull her into a hug. As she tucks under my arm she fits there perfectly, making it seem even more like she might be the one for me. How can my mother be right when she doesn’t even know Serena? How can she know how I’m feeling before I do? It’s insane.

  “What do you want to eat then? I can call any take out in the whole city.”

  “Oh I do love that about the city,” Serena replies happily. “Back at home we didn’t have anywhere to get take out food. I don’t mind what we have, it’s your choice entirely.”

  It’s weird how much I like doing normal things with her, just hanging out and eating. For anyone else that’s just normal, the sort of things people do the entire time, but for me that’s huge. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t ever think I would do that with anyone. I assumed that I loved the party life style and that I would never want to change.

  Serena has thrown a curve ball in and changed absolutely everything. Her sweet, easy going nature has altered everything and I’m so very happy.

  “Pizza,” I tell her while reaching for my cell phone. “I’ll order us a pizza. You like pizza, right?” I already know that she does, I know lots about her now.

  “Great.” Serena looks adorable as she snuggles in deeper to the covers. “Sounds absolutely perfect.”

  The mom
ent is so wonderful, it’s so perfect, I honestly don’t think anything will be able to tear us apart. Not my mom and her silly comments, not anyone. Me and Serena really do have it all. A bright smile plays on my lips as everything just feels wonderful.

  Chapter Sixteen– Serena

  “That’s so adorable that your boyfriend has come into work with you,” Tia, another one of the bar maid’s says quietly to me. I much prefer her to the shot girls, even though I don’t know her too well yet. She’s much more friendly and there seems to be a lot less drama with her. I can slowly see her becoming my friend. “He’s super hot too, which is awesome.”

  “I don’t know if I can definitely call him my boyfriend yet,” I reply coyly. “But yeah it’s sweet that he’s come here.” I give him a cheeky wave which he responds to, despite the fact that he’s surrounded by other business men that he’s talking to. “He’s very kind.”

  “So, wait, you live with him, he follows you to work, he gives you that protective look all the time... but he’s not your boyfriend?” She makes a disbelieving sound. “Nah, girl, I think you’ve locked him down and you don’t even realise it.”

  God, I hope that she’s right. I really hope that Ben is mine. I don’t want to ask him because things aren’t supposed to be getting complicated between us.

  “Yeah, maybe.”

  I continue washing the glasses, but over the top of them I admire Ben. Maybe that is a protective look in his eyes, or maybe he just wants me again. Whatever it is it sends a powerful shiver racing up and down my spine. It brings a cheeky smile to my lips and makes me think about what will happen later when we get home. Our sex life gets steamier every single day and I like that. I always can’t wait to see what he has next for me.
