His Secret Baby: A BDSM Revenge Wedding Romance

by Ashlee Price

  There was a note in front of her and it had her name scrawled in messy handwriting. It offered her a job and hoped that she would give Ashton a chance. There was an address and a phone number at the bottom, signed in equally messy cursive. She sat back and looked at the letter. He worked at a ranch, so she didn’t even know how he could get her a job being just an employee, but what would she do? She knew nothing about horses and livestock and what she was able to do did not sound like anything she would ever actually want to do.

  Kendra would go though, just to see him again. She needed a job and well, any job was better than nothing, right?

  She found her only pair of jeans and threw a T shirt on. Her nerves were frazzled, still thinking about everything, but the idea of seeing Joel again got her moving. Kendra got lost twice trying to find the place, but she finally pulled in and took a deep breath. She could do this.

  There wasn’t an office, just a huge house and a few barns. The name on the front didn’t mean anything to her and she started to second guess herself. What if he couldn’t get her a job and they didn’t even know she was coming. Should she even be there?

  “Hey Kendra. I’m glad you made it.”

  “I didn’t know what time you wanted, the note didn’t say. Thanks for unpacking for me. That was really nice of you. Makes the apartment feel homier. I was actually thinking about leaving, but now I am all moved in.”

  He smiled. It was exactly what he had wanted to happen, how he had wanted her to feel. “Good, I’m glad you have decided to stay for a while. Have you ever worked with animals before?”

  Kendra shook her head. “I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was a teen, does that count?”

  She didn’t look much older than that then and then he wondered how old she was. She had to at least be 21 to work at the bar.

  “That will do. I was thinking more about answering phones and dealing with customer appointments. Stuff like that.”

  She sighed and looked relieved. “Thank goodness. I didn’t like the idea of mucking out horse stalls and all of that.”

  “Yeah that would be a sight. Maybe one day, but right now I need help with the phones and maybe filing some paperwork. I would rather muck out stalls than send in files for the accountant.”

  Kendra liked the new arrangement and it was actually something that she could do. She wanted to hug him for helping her so much, but she didn’t want it to be taken the wrong way.

  “Thanks you are a life saver. You will have to tell me a way that I can repay you.”

  An idea shot in his head and fire leapt in his eyes, but he looked away, telling her it was no problem. “You fix my paperwork and that will be more than enough.”

  He showed her to his office in the side of the house and it was a mess. There was no two ways about it and she sunk down into the chair. “Okay, you weren’t joking when you said that you didn’t like to do paperwork.”

  He looked at her sheepishly. “Call me if you need anything.”

  Joel left her to it and Kendra looked around at the stacks of invoices. She felt bad for his accountant and for herself for a few moments before she decided to that the only way to finish was to start on one side and work her way through the rest of it. Kendra would have been lying to herself if she didn’t admit that she had thought about just walking away a few times throughout the day, but by the time lunch rolled around, she could actually see the dark mahogany of the desk.

  “Wow, I didn’t expect to see so much done. Did you just throw it away?”

  She chuckled, “No, it’s all ready for the accountant. The rest is in the filing cabinets. It took me an hour to actually realize that is what they were. I thought they were stack of papers at first.”

  “Yea, it’s gotten worse since I took over.”

  “You own this place?”

  He nodded. “My father left it to me. I’d always thought it would go to Shane since he was the oldest, but I got it instead.”

  “Is this what you wanted to do?”

  “Not hardly, but it is what I am doing now. I love the animals, been around them since I was a kid, but the rest of this, is beyond me. I wanted to just play in my rock band.”

  “You play? I would love to hear you sometime.”

  Joel turned away and it looked like he was actually blushing. It was the first moment of vulnerability that she had seen from him and she liked the look on him.

  “I haven’t played in over a year now.”

  “Sounds like you should get back to it then.”

  She made it sound so simple, but it wasn’t that way to Joel. There was a reason he had stopped playing music and dating, he had stopped living in some respects.

  “You’re probably right. Well I got customers coming in later so I need to get a horse ready. Of you want, I was wondering if you would like to stay for dinner.”

  “Sure, that sounds good.”

  Chapter 5

  The day went by quicker when she had something to look forward to. Kendra had almost forgotten about the night before and she was trying to see all the positive that had come with the sudden changes. There was definitely some attraction between the two of them and she was wondering where it would go. He came and got her around quitting time and offered her a drink.

  She helped him cook, their bodies touching once or twice accidently as they moved around each other in the kitchen. It was something that she had done with Cedric and she missed the intimacy of it. Joel worked well in the kitchen and before she knew it, there was dinner made and it was just so comfortable, it didn’t feel like they had only known each other a day. By the end of it, she felt like she knew him more, but there was something he was hiding, she just knew it. It wasn’t that he lied, or she didn’t think he had, but he seemed to be omitting a lot.

  The two worked well together and after a week, she was even more smitten than she had been before. He had a way about him that drove her crazy, but it was the fact that he didn’t act on the lust in his eyes, that drove her mad. She wanted nothing more but to give him everything, even after learning it wasn’t always the best idea. Kendra didn’t want to say she was in love, but she was certainly in like. They had a date, an actual date set for the next day on Sunday before they went back to work. He wouldn’t tell her where they were going or what they were doing, but it didn’t really matter. All that mattered was that she was going to get to see him.

  ***

  Kendra got dressed in something a bit flashier than the jeans and T shirts that had become her work clothes. It was all she ever wore and it was nice to get dressed up. She just hoped that he didn’t want to do anything too crazy with what she was wearing.

  The red dress was short and her heels were tall. Kendra was pretty tall, so it was nice to be able to wear some heels for once without upsetting a man and his delicate ego. Joel did not seem to have any ego, just a self-confidence that made him even more attractive. He was so sure of himself and everything that he did, Kendra of course thought that it would translate into the bedroom as well.

  It had been a couple of weeks since she had been with Cedric and the lack of sex was getting to Kendra. She was having trouble concentrating day after day around Joel in such close quarters and he hadn’t made a move. Kendra was ready to be the one to make the moves and though she was not dominate by nature, she was willing to try something new if it got her what she wanted and what she wanted was Joel.

  She heard a soft knock at the door and she opened it. He was dressed up a little as well and his cologne stopped her in her tracks. He smelled so good that she leaned in for a kiss before she realized what she was doing. His lips were soft on hers and he hid his surprise well. Neither was ready for it and Kendra was molded against him panting by the time he pulled away.

  “Sorry, I don’t know what came over me.”

  “No need to be sorry, really.”

  “In that case, you wouldn’t want to stay in, would you?” Her blue eyes looked up at him with need, leaving him no doubts as
to what she really wanted.

  “No, I thought we would go out, have a fancy meal and then go down to the park.”

  It sounded nice, sweet, but it was not what she had in mind. Kendra tried to hide her pout and disappointment. She was not sure why she felt so horny, so full of need, but there was no denying the state he put her in with just one kiss. “Okay, let me just get my purse.”

  He waited for her by the door, afraid to move forward to stop himself from going too far. It was not a good time for a romance, but Kendra had just shown up. There was still another week until he wanted to move to that level, until he was able to. He just had to wait, but as he watched her bend over to get something off a table, he groaned to himself. It was going to be a long week.

  The fancy dinner was nice, but Kendra would have much rather had dinner at his place. It was more intimate and she would have had a better chance to tempt him. It was what she was doing, trying her best to tempt him into what she wanted from him.

  After the meal, he took her out to a small park where he brought a blanket and they laid out to watch a meteor shower that was timed almost perfectly. Kendra found her way into his arms and sighed as they watched the cosmic show above them. It was one of those moments that she would always remember. Sighing against him, she snuggled deeper, her leg moving around him as she held him close. Kendra didn’t want to moment to end.

  He turned to look at her and she moved forward for another kiss. His lips responded quickly to her and she moaned softly against his mouth. Her leg went to straddle his thighs and her body was on top of him as their tongue tangled together. There was a clear indication of his need against her hips, Joel grinding up against her made her mind muddled and her own hips moved harder.

  Joel was taking over, his hand pulling her down till she couldn’t move and then his body rolled her onto her back, pinned underneath him. The hard rod in his pants pushed against her opened legs, right on her center and she cried out with a sudden surge of pleasure. He felt so damn good and her body was ripe with need. Kendra whimpered as his hand cupped her large mound, rolling the hard tip in between his fingers.

  She moaned underneath him as he pulled back to kiss her neck, biting on her shoulder. Kendra’s hips ground against his hardness, her legs had opened wide to accept him in against her core. The short dress had ridden up and her panties had dampened as he pushed against her. Kendra urged him lower, her body rising and falling in the quest to get more attention to her burning center.

  Joel pulled back and she sat up, her hands going to his pants. Grabbing a handful of his hardness, her eyes looked up at him, silently begging for what she held in her hand. He growled at her and started to yank her panties down before he stopped suddenly.

  He moved back, his eyes still as black as the night when he looked at her trembling body. Her thighs trembled and she waited, unsure why he had stopped. “I can’t do this Kendra. Not now, I’m sorry.”

  Kendra sat up and wiped her mouth. Her confusion was clear, as was her unabated lust. She needed him and he couldn’t leave her like she was. “Please Joel. What is it? I don’t understand. Don’t you want me?”

  “Yes, it’s just that I can’t right now. I really, really want to. I don’t think I have wanted anything else so much in my life.” Joel’s cock was rock-hard and he pushed down on it as he looked away. Looking at her was not helping the way he felt and his own screaming needs.

  She was sitting back up, resituating herself so that she was mainly covered. Her eyes couldn’t hold his as she moved to slide her panties back on. It was the very last thing that she wanted to do, but she had no choice.

  “Why not? What are you not telling me Joel because I seriously don’t get it? You need it just as much as I do.”

  He pulled back and sighed. “I can’t because I am married Kendra.”

  She pulled away and was not sure what to say or if her mouth would even cooperate. Of course he was married, she thought to herself. It was the way of it. The good ones were always taken. She felt like an idiot for pushing herself on him. Joel was just as unavailable as Cedric had been, but in a more concrete way. Standing up, she turned to leave and he got up to stop her. “Wait Kendra, it’s not what you think.”

  “I think I was a fool.”

  His hand moved to stop her, to make her look at him, but she was not having it. She wrenched her hand away, trying not to show him that she was upset, heartbroken even. Kendra admonished herself for falling so hard, so fast.

  He was more firm and she didn’t have another choice but to look back. “I’m getting divorced and it is finalized next Friday.”

  It made it a little better, but there was still a feeling of betrayal that she wanted to sort out before she dealt with him. Then the obvious wonder of what else he was hiding from her if he could hide that. She wanted to know how long, with who, all of the things that she really shouldn’t want to know, but she did. Kendra didn’t ask though, she still had hurt in her eyes when she looked back at him.

  “Kendra I just didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t mean for tonight to happen, I wanted to wait.”

  “Well then you will. I will see at work tomorrow, but I would rather not mention this again. I need to think about this some. Will you just take me home please?”

  He nodded and grabbed up the blanket, not even attempting to fold it. She could tell by his quickened movement that he was upset and she wasn’t sure why. He had been the deceitful one and when she thought about it, that was how she felt about it. Walking away, her desires turned into irritation and she just wanted to get home and lay down. She had told Joel too much, shared too much with another person. Kendra couldn’t get home fast enough and wished that he would hurry up.

  He followed her to the truck and tried to salvage the night, but she was quiet as they drove back and there was no offer for coming up for a drink. Kendra did not look back as she undid her door, a moment’s thought of him helping her before. It was all different now.

  Chapter 6

  Kendra had gone to work the next day, all but ignoring him most of it. He had tried to corner her, forcing her to speak up, but she did not want to talk. She was hurt and after she had gotten home, she had realized that it was not that bad what he did. Kendra would want details, but in the end, everyone had a past and he was almost divorced.

  Her attitude towards him changed throughout the week. She went from semi-frigid to taunting temptress by the end of it. Friday morning in particular was hard for her and she waited with temptation for him most of the day. He was doing his rounds and didn’t come in for most of the day. She knew he was busy, she had made his schedule, but it didn’t suit her current mood. He was free and she wanted him.

  When he finally did come in, it was ten minutes before she was supposed to leave. He was hot and sweaty, dirt smudged on his face. He pulled his hat off and looked at her with need that she was sure mirrored her own. There was something so raw in his eyes, a hunger that surpassed anything she had ever felt.

  “So are you ignoring me or teasing me today?”

  Kendra smiled shyly and shrugged. “I don’t know. Are you divorced yet?”

  He nodded his head, moving a step towards her. “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”

  She stopped his advancing with a palm. “No, I don’t want the details, as long as you are free now.”

  “I am. But I don’t want to be free.”

  Kendra was confused by his answer, it clear on her face.

  “I want to be yours and for you to be mine. I see us married, with our kids here with us, riding horses.”

  She swallowed hard and he moved passed her raised hand and was there, in front of her, touching her softly.

  “Marriage? Kids?”

  “It’s fast I know, but I know now that you are why it didn’t work out before. I was waiting for you and I know it is right with us, can’t you feel it?”

  Kendra was speechless with his words, her own heart pattering faster with the hope that what
he said was true. She had waited a long time for those words and it couldn’t have been better than to hear it from him. “I do, but isn’t it too soon?”

  He didn’t agree, shaking his head. “I would marry you tomorrow if you would have me.”

  She smiled. “Let’s just see how tonight goes.”

  “I see. I am under pressure. Give me five minutes to jump in the shower.”

  He moved towards her, his mouth seeking hers finally, now that everything was out in the open. Now that they both knew where they stood. Joel didn’t want to pull away, but he finally did reluctantly. He was in no state for them to be together, wanting their first time to be as magically as it had played in his dreams since he’d met her.

  Kendra waited with anticipation. She was waiting upstairs on his bed, instead of down in the kitchen where they had first started. It was long past her quitting time, but she was there on pleasure. The idea of what he had said, she wondered of course if he meant it. His eyes and his touch told her he did and the rest of her didn’t care because of it.

  It had been too long. It felt like forever that she was waiting for him. She just needed to feel him against her and she got up, fully intending to go get him. She wasn’t wearing anything and right before she stood up, she heard a gasp from the doorway. Joel was standing there in a towel, strong and muscular with water dripping off of him. His work made him well chiseled and she bit the bottom of her lip with need.

  Her legs wouldn’t cooperate and her idea to go to him was fizzled. Joel moved towards her and her eyes widened as his cock grew underneath the towel, tenting it up as he came closer. “Do you like what you see?”
