“No?” She stared up at me, confusion on her face. “What part don’t you like?”
“The part about us being apart for three weeks.”
“Babe, you’re in the NFL, honey. There’ll be lots of times we’ll have to be apart. You know that right?”
“Sure I do, but now don’t have to be one of those times. I’ve got a better idea. Fly out to Denver and meet me out there tomorrow. We’ll find a place with whatever free time I got over the first few days. After that, you can head back and get the movers to pack us up and ship our things there.”
“I guess that could work.”
“Of course it will, besides, I want you with me. We’ll make more progress this way, and then you can settle in that much more quickly.”
“You’re right. I have two pieces to get done in the next ten weeks. Time will be tight, so finding a place gets me working on them faster.”
I took her into my arms and she leaned the side of her head in my chest as I kissed the top of her head. She didn’t notice my folks and siblings had emerged from the auditorium as well and were standing about twenty feet behind her. This part was going as planned. I pulled back and lifted her chin to look at her gorgeous face. “You still have mischief in your eyes, gingersnap.”
She smiled. “That look’s never gonna leave, honey.”
“I’m counting on that…because,” I took a step back and slid my hand into the breast pocket of my suit, then got down on one knee.
“Oh my God, Chris… oh my goodness!” Her eyes lit up and her hands flew up to cover her mouth when I turned the red ring box toward her.
I opened it to reveal the yellow gold engagement ring with two-carat diamond solitaire that Ma helped me pick for her. “Jo, we met by wild luck, and before I knew it you were as close to me as family. I don’t want to go another day without you knowing where my heart is. I love you so much, and babe, I would be the happiest man on the planet if you would do me the honor of being my wife. Will you marry me?”
“Oh my gosh, yes, yes I’ll marry you!” She put her left hand out for me and I slowly slid the ring up her finger, watching her face light up in shock and beam with so much love I thought my chest would burst. “Oh my God. I love you so much, Chris.”
I loosened her hand and got to my feet to give her the kiss I wanted to give her all evening, after which my parents, the kids and some complete strangers milling around the large hallway all began to clap for us. Dad was the first one to make it over to us. “Congratulations, son. Welcome to the family, Josephine.”
“Thanks so much, Mr. James.”
Mrs. James went over to Jo and gave her a warm hug as they chatted about whether she liked the ring.
“I love it. I can barely look away. It’s gorgeous.”
If I didn’t break this up fast we’d have been in that hallway for the next hour, so I pulled Jo away and we excused ourselves, letting them know we would see them back at the hotel.
“Where are we going?” Jo asked still half staring at the ring.
“You’ll see.” I led her out front and we hopped into a waiting cab, giving the instruction to take us to our hotel a few minutes away. We couldn’t get there fast enough, but once we were there and up to our private suite, I swiped my card and opened the door, motioning for her to go on in.
Jo took a step inside, and before I could close the door she had turned and laced her arms around my waist. “What about what you promised me, love?” she purred.
“Take a look over there in the corner.”
She slowly stepped over there, then her mouth fell open when she realized I had packed up all her art supplies and works in progress, along with an extra suitcase of clothes. “Oh honey. I can’t believe you did this for me.”
“I did it for us, baby. This should be enough for us to manage the first few days in Denver, right?”
“More than enough. Thank you, love.”
I ducked down and kissed her neck, picking her up off the floor in one move and headed to the bedroom. I lowered her onto the bed, removing her shoes then kissing all the way up her leg as she moaned and ran her hands through my hair as soon as her fingertips could reach. Tugging her evening dress up past her hips, she parted her legs for me to get to my prize. I looked at her face. Her eyes slipped closed and her hips lifted to meet my lips against her lacy panties. All these clothes were getting in the way. I helped her to her feet and turned her around so I could undo her zipper. Finally that dress fell to the floor, revealing her creamy skin and those curves I still couldn’t get enough of touching.
Jo got my suit jacket off and tugged on the buttons of my shirt, peeling the material off my skin. Stepping back to the bed, she crawled on top of it, then let her hair down and turned her head back to me. “Get over here and make love to me, Bronco,” she whispered, grinning and removing her bra. “Give it to me rough.”
“That’s what I love about you. You’re my wild woman, and my Jo gets whatever she wants.” I kicked my shoes off and had my pants and boxers down my legs in a hurry, and was behind her in an instant, kissing a trail down from her shoulders to the small of her back. I took a second to admire her sexy as sin body, and that ass that was my true addiction.
My hands slid up the front of her body, coming to rest a moment at her breasts.
She was all mine.
I roamed down to her stomach, which tightened and fluttered at my touch until I slid my fingers past her panties, gripped it into my fist and ripped it off of her. She groaned out a breathless hiss. A second later she held on to the bed rails, pushing her ass back in to my groin. I held her hips. This was not going to be slow or sweet or tender, but it was exactly what she wanted. Throwing the ripped shreds of what used to be her panties off to the side, I tilted her hips and positioned myself to enter her. Her breath seemed to get caught in her throat when my cock pressed against her hot wet heat. She parted her thighs some more, ready for my aching hardness inside of her. I eased in slightly, and when her hips began to move with mine, I pulled her into me and ricked my hips forward, burying so deeply inside of her she let out a shriek from the shock of it.
“God. Yes, Chris,” she cried, encouraging me to keep going.
Which I did.
Her back arched and her core tightened against my shaft, getting into our wicked rhythm. I slipped a hand to her ass, pressing into her until my cockhead hit another depth of her core. Jo cried out and begged me to keep going, her knuckles white from gripping the bed post so tightly. I wished I could stare into her face right now, to see her pleasure, and her eyes rolling into the back of her head, and her lips as she called my name.
I continued plunging in and out of her, desperate to own every inch of her channel…and more still. Parting her ass cheeks, I slide a finger over her asshole. That was mine too. I pressed into her tight little ass inch by inch, keeping up the rhythm as I buried deep into her pussy. I claimed every part of her, burying my finger in nice and deep. Jo arched her back and snapped her head back. She cried out loudly as her core clenched around my cock, body shaking as she had a powerful orgasm. In her weakened state, she ducked her had to the pillows and griped the sheets, panting hard as she held on and begged me to keep going.
“Come inside me,” she begged, barely able to move.
I paused for a moment and kissed her upper back before pressing on, claiming her as I picked up the pace. Continuing my attack, I reached my hand forward and gripped her hair with my fingers, pulling her back and anchoring with each thrust. I heard that low rumble come from my own lips when I couldn’t control the wild, freeing sensations of exploding my release inside of her.
After a few moments, I stretched out beside her and pulled her into my arms, neither of us able speak for some time. Jo ran her fingers down my chest, bringing it to my lower stomach. I was already hard again. She tilted her head up to look at me.
“You recover fast, Bronco.”
“And you love it.”
She lifted a leg over my hip,
pressing her pussy along my shaft. “Yes I do. I’ll take it hot and wild all night long, and for the rest of our lives.”
