Mr. Buff

by Angel, April

“After that, I knew you were it for me.” He went back to pacing. “I suck at big romantic gestures; the best I can do is flowers, cards, dinner, and jewelry. If it weren’t for my assistant and my calendar, I’d forget my own birthday. When involved with a new project, I turn into a workaholic, but I can try to slow that down. I need to dominate in the bedroom. I can’t change that part of me.”

  He sounded as if he wanted to warn her away. Did he say he wasn’t romantic? He’d cooked for her, sent her two exotic flowers with his own handwritten notes, taken her to see a musical, and given her a purple Buddha charm on a bracelet. Plus, they’d done so much snuggling she melted into a puddle of goo whenever she remembered. More than romantic, he was a naturally caring person. And if she was right, he cared for her.

  “Why are you telling me this?”

  He moved closer until he was right in front of her. He cupped her jaw with a shaky hand. “Because I need you. I’m not going to go away. My life, it’s empty without you.” He took a deep breath.

  She clenched her hands into fists. “So, what will you do if I say no?”

  “Never leave you alone until you agree to come back to me. You’re mine; you know it, and I know it.” His voice trembled with alarm.

  “For how long?” Licking at her dry lips, she watched his eyes zero in on her tongue.

  “Forever.” His voice took on a firm tone.

  “Why?”

  “Because I love you. Yes, I love you. I know you probably think it’s too soon, but you slipped in and settled into my heart.”

  Her look showed disbelief. He sighed, lowered his head, and then jerked it back up to look at her with determination. He got down on his knees, and her eyes widened.

  “What are you doing?”

  His hands gripped her hips, and he looked up into her eyes. Concern was on his face. “I love you. I’m not leaving until you say you believe me.”

  “Andrew—”

  “Alexandra, I love you. Please, please, don’t break my heart. Say you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you.”

  Heart so full, she was sure it was going to burst, she stared at him for a moment. “Yes. I’ll give us another chance; I love you too.” Her voice softened. “My life would be miserable without you in it.”

  He claimed her lips in a kiss. It was slow and sensual, full of promise and sweet surrender. After a moment, he pulled back and gave her a hungry look.

  “I love that you’re dominant. I wouldn’t change that in you. For everything else, there’s always compromise.” She gave him a teasing grin.

  He sighed. “Thank God. I was afraid I was going to have to bribe you into taking me back.”

  Her brows lifted in curiosity. “How in the world would you have done that?”

  He gave a sheepish grin and pointed to the car. “I brought chocolate cheesecake and another chick flick.”

  She laughed at his grimace and hugged him tight. Yeah. He’d do just fine. She pulled his head back down for another kiss and was immediately consumed in the fire of his touch.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Held tight in his arms, she was giddy with happiness. He kissed her with so much intensity it left her breathless. He consumed her lips, possessing every crevice of her mouth. As if stamping his own brand over her, he licked and nipped at her lips and jaw.

  They moved toward the front of the car, and he pulled off her tank top. Parting only long enough to allow the removal of the material, he continued devouring her lips. Her bra came off with one quick snap, and her breasts filled his hands. He immediately set his fingers on squeezing and tweaking the taut tips.

  She moaned and tugged on the T-shirt he wore, ready to tear it if it didn’t come off soon. He pulled off the shirt. He shoved her skirt and panties down her legs.

  She latched her lips on to his nipple, her tongue flicking across the flat disk. He groaned.

  Happy to drive him wild, she dipped her hand into his jeans and rubbed on the length of his hard cock.

  “Jesus, woman.” His groan was enough to push her on.

  She nipped at his tight little bud, smiling when his cock jerked in her hand.

  “Fuck. That’s good.”

  He spread her pussy lips, two digits going straight for her hungry cunt, and his thumb flicked her sensitive clit.

  “Andrew, yes, fuck me.”

  She rolled her hips on his fingers and moaned, tightening her muscles around them. All she needed was for him to fuck her with his fingers a few times and she’d go over.

  He pulled out of her so fast, she almost screamed in frustration.

  She looked up at him.

  He lifted his fingers to his mouth, curled his tongue around the digits, and sucked on her juices. “You’re mine.”

  Grabbing her hands, he turned her to face the hood of the car. He felt the metal for heat then pushed her to lean forward. Her nipples grazed the warm steel. She looked over her shoulder at him. She wiggled her hips and smiled when his eyes filled with passion.

  “Alexandra.” Dark and possessive once again, his voice made her knees weak.

  “Hmm?” A whimper escaped her. She continued to watch his hooded gaze.

  “You have been a very bad girl.”

  Oh, good God, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

  Her head whipped up and down in agreement. Arousal grew as she waited to see what he’d do next.

  Slowly, he caressed her ass cheeks, his hands squeezing at her rounded globes. He tapped her left side with his palm. The light sting was minor, just enough to make her moan.

  “Instead of leaving, you should’ve stayed and talked to me.”

  Slap. The pressure from each tap fanned the flames inside her cunt and ratcheted up her need. She moaned and thrust her ass out for further punishment.

  “For hours, I was worried about you, was unable to reach you.” The deep timber of his voice fascinated her; his words held her enthralled.

  Slap. His hands alternated sides, caressing the heated skin of her ass after each tap. Biting her lip, she groaned and lowered her head to the hood of the car. The blunt head of his cock speared her sex and entered her cunt. She moaned and propelled back against him, seating him fully inside her in one quick slide.

  Slap. Pussy squeezing, her vaginal muscles contracted around his thick length with each tap on her cheeks.

  “You decided to believe the worst of me after I had already told you I didn’t want anyone else.”

  “I’m sorry.” Truly, she was, especially when she heard the hurt in his voice.

  He groaned and thrust his cock into her pussy violently. She’d have ended up draped over the car if he hadn’t hauled her back. She marveled over his loss of control when his thrusts became harsh, fast, and demanding. His hands gripped her hips, and he plunged into her in quick, hard thrusts.

  The skin slapping joined in the music created by her pants and his groans. He caged her with his body. Between her thighs, his hand moved to thrum her clit. He pinched her nub, turning her moans into full-blown begs for more. Fucking her with the force of an animal, he rammed his cock harder into her.

  Tense and shaking, her walls gripped his cock while she screamed his name and came hard. She shoved her ass onto his still driving cock.

  Her hair and hip in a tight grip, he groaned out a curse and then he jerked behind her. The tension in his frame heightened while he quickened his thrusts and filled her with his seed. Warm semen coated the neck of her womb. Aftershocks racked her body and sucked him deeper into her cunt.

  Moving her hair to the side, he kissed the back of her neck. He fixed his pants, picked her up in his arms, and carried into the cabin. She sighed with pleasure and nuzzled his neck. There was no questioning it; she was his.

  Epilogue

  They were sitting in a private VIP booth at Come Again. Alexandra rolled her eyes at her gloating cousin.

  “Come on, let’s see the rock again.” Nina took pleasure in teasing Alex.

  “Oh, cut it out, will you? I swear I
don’t know which of you is worse. Now that he’s got a ring on me, he acts as though he won the lottery.” She held out her hand anyway, grinning like a fool.

  He’d proposed, gotten down on his knees, and put on the ring. She hasn’t had the heart to tell him he’d done it backward. Once she accepted his proposal, his satisfied smile had been endearing.

  “He did win a prize with you, chica. Don’t ever doubt it. Where is that fiancé of yours, anyway?” Nina glanced around the crowded bar.

  “He’ll be here in a minute.” The man in question was in his office talking business with his partner.

  “I told you I had a good feeling about him. Just remember, I’m totally going to be a fantastic godmother, OK?”

  She laughed. “We’re not even married yet, and you’re giving us kids already?”

  Nina winked. “I have this feeling about you.”

  “Don’t even joke like that. I’m not walking down the aisle looking like a beached whale.”

  Nina laughed at the panic Alex showed in her face.

  “You are too funny, Alex. But seriously, start picking out baby names.” Laughing, she walked away toward a group of friends across the bar.

  Looking down at her seltzer water, Alex felt her stomach roll again. It was a stomach virus, she told herself. She wasn’t pregnant, was she?

  She nibbled her lip and took another drink. Just to play it safe, she’d better talk to Andrew about moving up the wedding date.

  Across the bar she saw the only man she’d ever peeped on searching for her. Their gazes met and held, and happiness filled her. He headed toward her with a growing smile. She never would have guessed that Mr. Buff would turn out to be her Mr. Right.

  Going home for his older sister's wedding has been a real pain.

And he doesn’t want to spend the next ten years without her…

Seems like easy money until the tension between them explodes into a passion neither of them expected, and Ed finds that what Ella really needs is a good spanking…


  But when Ella returns home, Ed finds her difficult to forget, especially when he learns the dangerous truth about the man she’s decided to marry after all…
