Wasn’t this the town where everyone knew everyone else? So, what did Henry expect? He could keep his marriage a little secret or maybe, Alison was always a one week fling for Henry who he could play, romance and have a good time and maybe bang before she left!
Alison didn’t even bother controlling her tears. She let them fall and they washed away the beautifully put makeup. She knew that she looked terrible, but it was nothing compared to the rollercoaster of emotions which she was undergoing.
Her life had come to a halt and no matter how much she tried, she just couldn’t get over the fact that Henry had played her. She couldn’t believe the fact except that she did. It was a terrible thing to feel and she hated the fact that she had allowed herself to be used.
Alison had always been a strong girl and she never once let the man in her life take advantage of her. How could she be so blind and naive!
She decided to just attend the last ceremony and she would leave first thing in the morning tomorrow because it hurt to be there. She wished all the best to Gabbie for her new life and cited some urgent family reason and told her secretly that she would leave tomorrow morning.
Gabbie knew something was up, but she was caught amidst the endless celebrations and decided to talk to Alison soon. Alison was more thankful than ever that Gabbie didn’t pry much because at that time, she wasn’t in a state to express.
She avoided Henry as much as she could because she knew she would lash out at him. Despite the asshole he was, she didn’t want to create a scene at a wedding because while she would leave the place, Henry was here to stay.
Yet, it was painful to spend time there as she realized what a fool she made of herself. She went back to her room early and locked it. Once she was sure that no one was there, she sat down on the floor and cried her heart out. The pain she felt was huge and terrible. She could feel something break inside her as never in her wildest of dreams had she thought that Henry would play her so bad.
She wanted to go back in time and wipe away all her memories, but only if things worked like that. She was sad and hurt and she wanted nothing else but to go back to her own place and then sit with her Ben and Jerry and forget every good memory she had made here.
The night was unbearably long, but on the crack of dawn, she started packing and used her makeup to hide her dark circles and look less of a ghost than what she was. She knew she might have to meet a few people before she could leave. She was thankful to know that Gabbie wasn’t there as she and Adrian had gone out for some morning event. She thanked Gabbie’s parents and told them to let Gabbie know about what a great time she had.
She explained to them that it was urgent and she needed to leave and hugged them again. She set out to leave and she was happy that she was finally leaving all this behind. She could see Henry’s face and she could almost feel her galloping on his horse, but she pushed back those memories because this wasn’t where she belonged.
Chapter 5:
Henry reached the venue early in the morning and looked for Alison. She had looked a little off-color during the second half of the event yesterday and he wondered if she was alright. He had thought of asking, but even before he could talk to her, she had escaped to her room. Maybe, she had a bit too many drinks, he had thought. He had come in early so he could take her horse riding and he wanted her to ride Johnny. He knew Alison would love it and Johnny was a good boy.
To his shock, he came to know that Alison had already left as she had some urgent personal things come up. Henry couldn’t believe the news, something was definitely wrong. She had looked so happy during the dance. There was something that had happened after the dance and before the night ended.
Henry knew that she was upset and there was a part of him that wondered if he was somehow related to it or else she would have spoken to him before leaving. He had to catch her before she could leave. He was in love with Alison and he couldn’t let her go just like that.
He had to tell her those three golden words and he knew how much it mattered to both of them. He had loved and lost and he didn’t want that to happen again. There was no way he was going to let Alison go until he had one last conversation with her. He asked Gabbie’s parents about where did she go and when he got the details, he immediately galloped on his horse to meet the one true love of his life.
Johnny could understand that his master was panicking and he galloped at an incredible pace. He kept on running and headed for the station. He prayed that Alison wouldn’t leave and he would make it in time. He couldn’t let Alison go. There was no way he could lose her.
When he reached the station, he found her sitting there on the platform and she was definitely upset. She was crying and her face looked like she hadn’t slept.
“So, what are you running from? Me?” he asked.
She looked at Henry and the urge to hug him and kiss were really strong, but she knew she couldn't let this happen. She couldn't allow her emotions to get stronger and fool her yet again.
“I think you should get back and be with your wife rather than fooling around with me.”
Henry realized what the matter was. Someone had told Alison about Elle and this was exactly what he was afraid of. He had wanted to tell her the whole thing, but not before he had expressed his love.
“It is not what you think, Alison.”
“All great excuses start like this.”
Henry knew he had to explain. He accepted Elle was his wife and Alison could feel the anger bubbling inside of her.
“Elle left me 2 months after we got married. She was –”
Alison saw Henry struggling for words and she couldn’t understand what was the reason for it.
“She was what, Henry?”
“She was a lesbian!”
“What! Are you kidding me? You didn’t know she was a lesbian and you married her.”
“I always thought we were in love, but I had no clue that she was a lesbian. She married me because her parents threatened her that she should never tell anyone that she was a lesbian. She comes from an orthodox family. She was my best friend. I couldn’t be with her. I asked her to go away and promised her not to tell anyone about it. We never had anything. I got a divorce but I have kept the papers with me. You know in a small town like this, rumors spread far and wide. I promise Elle I won’t tell anyone anything until she is strong enough to come out of the closet.”
Alison couldn’t believe the whole thing and she felt ashamed for judging Henry.
“I am so sorry, Henry. I should have asked you, should have spoken to you. I am so sorry. It is just that I was in love with you and I felt like my heart would break of the pain.”
“You love me? For real?”
Alison realized that she had blurted the words and now that she knew Henry’s story, there was no reason to take them back either.
They both looked at each other and decided it was time for them to seize the moment. They expressed their love for each other. Henry had wanted to make love to Alison ever since he had first seen her and now that they both knew what they felt, he was more than ready to explore the curves of her perfect body.
“What are you thinking so hard that makes your eyes go so dreamy?” he asked.
She was taken aback at how observant he was. She wanted to see every inch of his glorious body and the way he could make her come alive.
“Are you thinking about sex because I am?” Henry asked with a chuckle.
Allison couldn’t help but giggle. Count on men to always think about sex. When she nodded and told that she wanted to steal some hot moments too, Henry was more than excited.
“I am going to take you to my place. It is a tiny little cottage which you are surely going to love.”
They galloped together on the horse and as she reached his place, she saw that the cottage looked marvelous as it was painted in some of the most beautiful colors. It looked like one of those serene travel postcards which could give people some serious travel goals.
; “Do I need to behave, Alison, because some of my thoughts about you are downright dirty right now?”
Alison looked into his hazel eyes and she knew what she wanted.
“We can let go the manners. I would like you to behave very dirty with me. I am looking for the hottest sex I have had in a while. Can you oblige?”
Henry smirked and said, “That’s my girl!”
As they were inside the cottage and Henry had no other guest, he had some very elaborate plans of fucking her.
“I am not going to rush this. We are going to take our time and I am going to explore every inch of your body. But, I want you to be sure of this. You want this Alison, right?”
“Yes, Goddamn Henry. I do. How many times are you going to make me beg for it?”
She could see his ripped body and all she wanted was to touch him and to be touched in return.
“Can you just stop talking and undress?”
Henry winked again because that was the end of his patience. He had wanted to get his hands on Alison too since the time he had first laid his eyes on her.
“Let me take you to the bed and I promise you will have the greatest sex of all time.”
He turned on the night lamp and the room glowed with just the right amount of light. He placed Alison on his bed very carefully as if she was a prized possession.
He helped Alison get out of her dress and saw that she was wearing her bra and her silky panties. He quickly got rid of her bra and then let his hands roam over her sexy panties. His breath caught up as he saw her long legs.
He traced a trajectory over her panties and teased her skin. She could feel the pleasure of being almost touched and her vagina was already wet. Henry knew how to set the tempo and she wanted him to fuck her wild and hot.
“This body is yours tonight,” she said.
His tongue kept traveling upwards and he reached her wet vagina.
He ripped off her panties and gave her an amazing blowjob as his tongue took Alison to places. He looked like he was a master of the game and Alison was definitely in for some treat.
He had no intention to stop. He pressed her butt tightly and pushed his hands into her butt hole while his tongue continued to roam inside her vagina.
Alison could feel her climax beginning to appear. She was breathing fast and panting. She had become sore and wet as fuck. He climbed over her and devoted his undivided attention to her breast. They were soft and fleshy. He pressed his hands on her tits and rubbed them hard enough that her skin became red.
He then licked it with his tongue and caressed them making Alison moan again. He gobbled the whole of her breast and left his bites on her.
He pushed his already hard dick inside her vagina and she screamed in pain, but the pleasure was too good for words.
She came with a thud and so did he.
“I love you, Alison Harte.”
“I love you too, Henry.”
They kissed again and spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms. Alison knew this was what being at home meant and she had discovered a paradise in this place. She decided to stay here and make a life of her own.
THE END
Bonus Book: The Last Break (Western Romance)
Chapter 1:
They say that the miracles are never things, they are people. Eva didn’t really believe in the power of relations and how people in our life can change our idea about everything in the world until she came to Spring Hill. A small town in Tennessee, which was located only a few miles away from Nashville, was the home of her grandparents.
Eva was done with her college and she was already accepted at a big IT firm as an executive. She had a few months to pass, and instead of going out for a vacation, she decided to visit her grandmother.
She wasn’t really attached to her grandmother, but she also knew that it could be the last time when she would be visiting her. Eva had plans of moving to the west coast and to start her new life in the Silicon Valley. But before that, she knew that there were places that she was supposed to visit before and Spring Hill was certainly one of those preferred cities that she wanted to carry with her.
She thought that she would do it all. Eva was one of those girls who had a perfect plan for her life. She had worked really hard in school to go to Colombia and was one of the best students in college as well. She got her dream job and she knew that her entire life was about to be changed. It was just a matter of a few months, and her dreams would no longer be her dreams. They would turn real, which would make Eva plan her life while staying awake all night.
Before moving to California, she had a bucket list to complete. She wanted to live her life and do all those things that she couldn’t do when she was in school or college because she was just way too good or focused towards the completion of her goals. She wanted to sing out loud on a karaoke night and wanted to attend the concert of her favorite band. She wanted to get dirty on the ranch while scolding pigs and running after hens and chickens. She wanted to get a horse and to ride it all night long under the moonlit sky. She wanted to get a tattoo and truly fall in love. She had been with a fair share of men and has stolen plenty of kisses, but it was all infatuation. She never truly loved someone and didn’t want to pass the rest of her life, devoid of such a precious expression.
She had heard people talking and singing about love, expressing it in the form of art and walking that extra mile for the one they love, but Eva could never understand it. For her, love was a distant object that she could only stare, but never experience. When she was growing up, it was that forbidden fruit that she wasn’t brave enough to taste. As time passed, her priorities changed and she declared that she had no time for love, when deep down, she was a pure romantic.
She would read Pablo Neruda and Shakespeare at night, hoping for someone to write sonnets like that for her. But when the light of the day would come, she would become the same tough girl who could take over the entire world any moment.
She spent almost her entire childhood in Spring Hill, as it was the residence of her parents as well. As she got up and left for college, her parents got divorced and they both decided to move out of the city. They both sold their property and decided to settle in different parts of the country that only broke Eva’s heart and made her taste the bitter side of love. Her parent’s divorce and that too after almost twenty years of their marriage was a shock to everyone. This made Eva further believe that she was better off without love.
Once she asked her mother the reason for their divorce, and could still remember her words, haunting her nights. “Sometimes, two good people don’t result in a good matrimony, my daughter. We fall out of love as easily as we fall in love with each other. It’s not like anyone of us has cheated or have committed a sin. We have simply run out of love,” her mother said, which made her cautious of the thing called love. There was just so much in the world that people were afraid of and love was certainly one of them.
As her parents moved out of Spring Hill, there was no reason for her to visit the place, except her grandmother, who was getting old and needed someone to take care of her. She had proper attendants who would stay with her, but it was the presence of a family that she really craved for. Eva decided to visit her in order gave her a surprise and also thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to relive all those old days.
She was brought up in a typical country town, but she never really experienced the raw country appeal of Tennessee. It was high-time when she would get in touch with the country girl in her and stay for a few months in Spring Hill was certainly a great start. Little did she know that she was about to experience not just some age-old country flavor, but also a new definition of love!
Love for her would no longer be related to betrayal or regret – it would be something really precious that was about to question her belief towards life, letting her see the bigger picture with a new pair of eyes.
Chapter 2:
“This can’t be happening right now. No!” she s
ighed as her car broke only a few miles away from her grandmother’s house. Fortunately, she was already inside the premises and knew that help would be just around the corner. She opened the gate and tried to inspect the engine. She was not at all an automobile pro but certainly knew the basics of it.
She was wearing a beige blouse and a purple skirt that was making her look glamorous as hell. Her nude colored stilettos and her blue wayfarers certainly made her look her very best. She thought of taking some help and tapped her cell phone in order to look for a mechanic nearby.
Though it was hardly night, but the town was almost empty. She knew that she had to act soon if she wanted to reach home fast.
“Eva, is this you?” she heard a familiar voice, and somehow, she already knew that she was in a safe place.
“I don’t believe this. Oh God! Derek, this is really you!” she said and hugged him immediately. They both went to high school and were good friends. Eva would help Derek complete his homework and Derek would make sure that no one would disturb her when she was studying in the middle of the day. They were great together and helped each other in various ways. That day was certainly no exception.
“It has been so long. Where have you been?” he asked her, as he let go of her hug. It was a real shocker for Derek to see Eva like that day, and that too after so long.
“I know. I was busy with college and I have to move to California in a few months. I just took some time off and decided to visit grandma for the time being,” she replied and let him know the reason for her visit. She inspected Derek from head and toe and realized that he has certainly grown more mature and muscular with time.
He has always been extremely good looking, but time has certainly done its work with him. He was wearing a cowboy hat, matching boots that were going flawlessly with his cowboy attire. He had an amazing physique and Eva could feel how well he had worked on his body with the way his biceps were bulging.
