Sara jumped right back in. “What are you saying no to? What help do you want Gio?”
“Gio” Eric said his name in warning but that didn’t stop him. He ignored Eric and kept talking to Sara like they hadn’t been interrupted. Hands in his pockets toeing the carpet with his shoe, he was laying it on as thick as he could. “Well it would take a lot of pressure of me if you two join us at the family dinner tonight, My aunt Nadia, Eric’s mom will be there, my younger brother and sister too.”
Sara turned to look at Eric, she knew it was ridiculous they had only met yesterday but she felt a little hurt that Eric wouldn’t want to take her to meet his family. Eric knew right away he had messed up; he saw the hurt she tried to hide etched on her face and her eyes slightly shuttered. She had taken his adamant no the wrong way, her words confirmed what he was thinking.
“You don’t want me to meet your family?” She was trying to control the tone of her voice when she spoke but Eric heard the emotion in it. Eric casted an evil eye at his cousin, who was smiling at him with Sara’s back turned. He stepped closer to her, held her face in his hands so that she’d look at him when he talked.
“Baby, it’s not that I don’t want you to meet them; I just had this whole day planned out for us. After stopping at my house to change, we’d take an hour or so and look for a mattress and then I was going to take you to Old Town. I wanted to show you some sites and I know you like antique things, the shops down there always have fun and quirky stuff so I thought we’d shop. I wanted to take you to my favorite restaurant there. And then take you out for ice cream as dessert. I wanted to surprise you with it all.”
He leaned in and kissed her once, twice and then a third time waiting for her lips to move and respond to his. Having her full attention he went on in a low serious voice for only her to hear.
“I told you. You. Are. Mine.” His voice rose and emphasized when he said mine. “The minute you said yes and took me in, you became mine, only mine. I’m not going to hide you from my family. I was thinking of taking you to meet my mom this coming up weekend. I know I’ve been kinda pushy and that I’ve overwhelmed you already, so I didn’t want there to be so much that it frightened you away.”
Juan had discreetly turned his back on the couple giving them privacy by looking out the kitchen window. Gio watched in awe as he saw with his own eyes the profound feelings Eric had for Sara. He hadn’t been exaggerating when he spoke to Gio about an instant bond and connection between them.
Eric went on. “If you want to meet them today then we will I just want you happy baby.”
At hearing Eric’s words her whole attitude and mood changed. He had said it again, that she was his and she liked hearing him say it. It gave her hope that maybe his feelings were as strong as hers. She raised her hand caressed his check then his lips and with an excited smile announced. “I want to meet your family.” Eric’s answer was simple. “Ok baby” he kissed her again then met his cousin’s eyes. “We need to stop by my place so I can change. Juan.” The older man immediately turned hearing his name. “Si” He answered simply.
“Thanks a lot for helping today I’m gonna put a little extra in your check for helping.” Eric saw Juan open his mouth to interject about the extra money. Juan was a polite man and good worker always helping out when he could. Eric raised his hand in a stop motion and cut Juan off before he could speak.
“Don’t give me any lip about the extra money it’s your day off and you’ve been helping for hours. Just go ahead and head back to Poway in the truck. After dinner tonight I’ll drop Gio off at the store to pick up his car.” His piece said and plans made, he told Sara to get her purse and keys. He made sure he had everything he brought with him and they all walked out to the parking lot together.
Chapter 19
After stopping at a Serta mattress store and ordering her bed they stopped by Eric’s house so he could change, then headed for Gio’s mom’s house. Sara was a little disappointed, she had wanted to go inside his house and look around; but he had said he would be two minutes and to wait in the truck. His house looked nice from the outside. It was stucco in a tan color his roof matched but was a shade or two darker. His lawn was cut and green well kept, a stone paved walk way ran up to his front door. He had a two car garage and lots of windows.
It only took 15 minutes to get to Gio’s mom’s house. She lived in a gated community where all the houses looked just like each other. All stucco all nondescript. As they pulled up to the curb Sara became very anxious. Now sitting outside the house she was starting to think that this was maybe not a good idea. Eric noticed Sara becoming uncomfortable; she was fidgeting in her seat and biting her lip. As soon as they parked he turned the engine off, reached for Sara’s hand and pulled it to his lips. He wanted reassure her.
“Baby if you’ve changed your mind we can leave Gio here and still go to Old Town.” He patiently waited for her response. Sara took in a deep steadying breath. So much had happened in the last 48 hours; almost like they crammed months of dating and emotions into hours. Her mind was whirling, she felt like she was on a roller coaster ride. Going fast not knowing what twist or turn was coming next. But she had willing jumped on that roller coaster. Nothing left to do but ride it to the end. Sara turned so that her upper body was toward Eric; with a nervous smile she answered him.
“No. I want to meet your family. Just a little over whelmed you know.”
Gio picked that moment to throw his two cents in. “If anyone should be nervous it’s me, remember I got a blind date waiting in there and because my mom’s there I can’t make up an excuse and bail if it’s a disaster.” Gio then opened the truck door and got out heading up the walk way.
“Come on baby let’s go in.” Opening their doors they got out and follow Gio into the house. Apparently having entered the house first Gio had told everyone there that Eric had brought someone. So as they entered the house they were converged upon. After all the introductions were made they all went into the living room. Dinner wasn’t quite ready yet. So as they sat the Q and A began. They asked all the normal questions, how’d you meet, where did she work etc.
Everyone was polite and nice, well Gio’s brother Matt might have been a little too nice. He kept smiling at Sara and flirting in a subtle way. Making comments after she answered a question like when asked if she liked her work, she answered yes and she was happy she could handle the pressure of such a high paced job. Matt made the comment “I bet you’re good at handling lots of things” and then he winked. His subtle flirting wasn’t so subtle to Eric or Gio, where Gio just watched on smiling, Eric put a possessive arm around Sara’s waist and pulled her as close to him as possible without her being on his lap; giving Matt an evil glare that if looks could kill Matt wouldn’t just be dead he’d be a pile of ash.
When dinner was ready they all went into the dining room, Eric made sure to seat them as far away as the table would allow from Matt. Eric’s aunt Sofia and his mom Nadia made what she assumed was a traditional Mexican dinner. There was rice, beans, tortillas, guacamole, salsa, some kind of white cheese she had never had before called queso fresco and carne asada, which is thinly cut steaks grilled perfectly. It was all delicious, everything was going great apart from the blind date, which just as Gio called it was a disaster. She was nice enough, pretty, her name was Jasmine, she was a medical transcriptionist and they had absolutely nothing in common. Plus Gio’s mom Sofia kept trying to force a conversation between them.
At one point in the night Sara had almost choked on her food trying not to laugh. Sofia had brought up the topic of the new book she was reading Jasmine had commented that she loved reading and asked an irritated Gio what book he read last. How Gio had answered her with a straight face she don’t know; but he told her that the last book he read was in high school and the last thing he read had a center fold in it. That earned him a good kick under the table from Sofia. To say that the conversation between them was strained after that comment was an understatement.
Eric’s mom Nadia was one of the sweetest people Sara had ever met. She was a very soft spoken woman a peace maker whenever it got too tense on a certain topic she’d change it or make a joke. You could tell by looking at her that she was related to Eric, their eyes had the same shape and thick lashes only her eyes were brown. Their skin tone was very much the same, but she was short right around her height maybe an inch or so taller; Eric must have gotten his height from his father.
Now where Nadia was quiet Sofia was the total opposite. Even thou they looked pretty much like twins with just some small differences; like Sofia’s hair had a touch more gray, her face was a little longer than Nadia’s and she was taller. She was a very vibrant person, when talking her voice was always the loudest, she had an opinion on everything and even thou her kids were all grown and in their late 20’s early 30’s you could tell she still ruled over them. Why else would Gio keep subjecting himself to these blind dates?
Dinner and dessert done we said our goodbye’s; Nadia actually hugged her and then gave her hands a squeeze before they left. Gio got Matt to agree to take him to get his car so that they wouldn’t have to zig zag and backtrack through town. Eric held her hand the whole ride home, bringing it to his lips for a kiss every so often. It was a quiet ride home but not in the bad way quiet but a companionable silence. When they got to her apartment he parked in a visitor’s spot. The time on the dash read 8:34 not late but she did need to get a decent amount of sleep; she was going to have a busy day tomorrow. Without a word Eric turns off the truck and gets out, he walked around up to Sara’s door and opened it for her.
Hand and hand they walked to her apartment. Almost at her door Eric broke the silence. “Baby, I hope you had a good time tonight.”
Swinging their hands staring at the cement walkway her voice noticeably bright she answered. “I had a great time, Gio was funny, but I feel bad for Jasmine he was kinda rude to her.”
Eric laughed “Yeah he was.” Then his face hardened as he continued. “Matt was out of line too, little shit I almost stood up to punch him.”
Sara snickered. “Oh Eric it was just a little flirting.”
They reached her door; before she could take out her keys he pushed her against the door trapping her in the circle of his arms. Leaning in close enough for them to exchange their breaths he let her know how it was.
“Little or not he was flirting with what’s mine. Family or not if he comes close to you or flirts again I’m going to teach him what happens when someone messes with what’s mine.” His voice was low and ominous, his face had taking on a hard appearance and if it was possible she would have sworn his eyes darkened. Her breathing sped up her breaths shallowed, was she scared, was she feeling fear; no she was aroused. He kept saying she was his and she really liked it but she wanted to know exactly how she was his. Gathering all the courage she locked eyes with him an asked. After all no risk no reward right?
“How am I yours? Am I your girlfriend? Are we a couple? And what if I don’t want to be yours?” She did her best to keep her voice steady and nonchalant her body relaxed and in a natural stance but she wavered at the end.
Eric’s hardened face relaxed just enough for the one side of his lips to curl up in a knowing grin. She tried but she couldn’t fool him; she acted like the questions she asked were no big deal but her eyes showed her self-consciousness and thou she tried to keep her body casual, she couldn’t stop fidgeting with her purse. That little space between their faces evaporated as he came down nose to nose with her.
“Baby like I told you, you became mine when you said yes and took me inside that sweet warm pussy of yours and when I say mine I mean that in every way.” As they stood there their gazes locked there was a silent conversation that pasted between them. “Now open this door and I’ll show you.” With his piece said he stood to his full height and let down his arms.
Chapter 20
Eric wasted no time the moment she opened the door he gathered her up into his arms, kicked the door shut and went straight to her bedroom. With her bedroom set in place there wasn’t much room on the floor, but her mattress wouldn’t be delivered till tomorrow. So back on the comforters they went. As if he was a magician he made their clothes disappear in a matter of seconds. Pulling the rubber band from her hair he ran his fingers through her hair loosening her silky locks. Before they got too carried away he reached for his jeans to pull out the condom he had in his pocket. Once he had put on the condom he pulled her up to sit on his lap. He grabbed handfuls of her hair and pulled her close to capture her mouth and not just to kiss her but to dominate and show who was in charge. Her body was hot pressed against his, her harden peaks pressed against his chest; he could feel the heat coming off her in waves; she was hot, she was wet, she was ready. Not being able to wait another minute needing to be buried deep inside her. He grabbed her round her waist lifted her up, grabbed hold of his cock placed himself under her wet slit and slammed her down on to him.
“Ahhhhh.” She cried out at the stab of his quick onslaught.
“Oh god baby you feel so good, so tight, I love being buried deep inside you.” Eric panted.
With her arms wrapped around his neck he grabbed her hips and started her moving up and down on his swollen shaft. Their mingled breaths and moans of pleasure excited them more enhancing the intensity of their lovemaking. Sara started tightening around him it was the tell tell sign she was close to her climax. Without breaking their precious connection he laid her on her back, grabbing both her wrists in one hand, he held them above her head. With his other hand he grabbed her leg by her thigh and lifted it up and held it there. Her knee was almost pressed against her chest making each thrust deeper and harder. Sara started mewling and panting so close to climax. “Tell me” He demanded his voice roughened with lust.
“Please, please, Eric please.” She begged
But that wasn't what he wanted to hear he asked again. “Tell me.” Becoming more voracious, he began to slam into her, when she only cried out and didn't answer him he growled at her. “Tell me”
Her mind fogged up with pleasure she didn't understand what he wanted to hear then when demanded her to tell him the third time it clicked and she knew what he wanted to hear.
“I'm yours” she breathed
“Again” He commended
“I'm yours” she repeated
“Mine?” He asked
“Yes” She answered
“Mine” He repeated
“Yes” she agreed
Happy with her answer he kissed her ravenously and he released her hands and let down her thigh.
Sarah didn't know what happened all of a sudden she was on her belly and he was pulling her back end up onto her knees then he crashed into her.
“Fuck!” she screamed
A hand on each hip he began to pull her toward him at the same moment he would slam into her making each thrust that much stronger. He let go of one of her thighs only to grab a hand full of her hair pulling her head back he demanded
“Tell me”
***
Sara was on the edge he was working her harder than the previous times they had been together; so hard she knew she’d be sore if not bruised in the morning and then he grabbed her hair pulling her head back just enough to where it wasn't too painful. Demanding “Tell me”
She moaned out her answer “I'm yours”
“Again”
“I'm yours”
“Again”
“I'm...” She couldn't even finish her answer because her orgasm sky rocketed. Her climax was so intense it robbed her of her speech capabilities, she screamed out some garbled curses and something close to Eric's name. Hearing her over and over again say she was his increased his arousal, when he heard her scream in her climax and her hot cunt squeezed around him it triggered his own release.
“Shit, Fuck, Sara” he grunted.
He pulled out and collapsed next to her as she dropped to her belly. They were both out of air
panting and trying to catch their breath. Once Eric’s breathing settled he turned on his side and placed a gentle kiss on the spine of Sara’s back; he got up and went to the bathroom to take care of necessities when he came back into the room Sarah was peacefully sleeping. He climbed back in to their makeshift bed wrapped his arm around her and fell into a deep sleep with her tucked in the circle of his embrace.
Ding ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding
The musical sound of Sara's alarm woke her up, she reached around searching the floor for her cell phone and came up empty. Sitting up she saw that her purse was in the corner, so she crawled over to it; fished out her cell phone and hit the off button. She looked behind her and saw that Eric was awoken by her alarm too; he sat up and asked what the time was.
“Its 7:30 I have to leave no later than 8:30 to get to work on time.” Sara answered plainly.
“I don't have to work the first shift; I can come in at lunch and work the second.” Eric easily replied
“Well, I need to get a shower”
Sara went to her stacks of cloths; she never did get a chance to put them inside her new five-drawer chest. She picked out a nice comfortable outfit for work, beige kakis and a powder blue button up top. She had a really cute necklace and earring set of multiple blue colors that would just add a nice pop to her outfit. Eric made to get up to join her in the shower but she put her hands up in a stopping motion and emphatically told him
“No no no no if you come with me I will be in that shower forever and then I will be late for work.”
With a siliceous smile on his face Eric agreed “All right then baby I'll make you some breakfast.”
Taking her bundle with her Sara went to the bathroom for her morning routine and shower. With Sara out of the room and taking a shower Eric got up, put on his boxers and jeans and went to the kitchen to start breakfast for her. When Sara came out of the bathroom and walked down the hall she immediately smelled the mouthwatering aroma of sausages and eggs. Their morning was very domesticated as he served them their breakfast and they sat at her new table to eat.
