First Sight_Never Give Up, Never Give In

by Mia Jones

  He pushed the head through. She was so narrow and tight, he started to fear she really wouldn’t be able to take him. He pushed in another inch and stopped when she tightened and made a distressed sound. He stopped even when his stomach clenched with a brutal need. Garrett took a deep breath and felt a bead of sweat roll down his temple. He summoned all his strength he needed to keep control and gritted his teeth and pulled himself back from plunging into her depth. He bent and sucked her nipple into his mouth and at the same time worked her clit with his fingers.

  He groaned in relief when a rush of feminine moisture eased his way. With one firm push he broke through her virginity. Garrett felt her nails dig into his back and a small cry slip from her mouth. He held himself still and gave her time to adjust. After a minute, he was pleased when he didn’t see discomfort on her face, just pure need.

  He framed her face with his hand as his hips pinned her to the bed. “Baby, I’m in. The discomfort will never happen again.”

  Jessica took several deep breaths trying to get her senses back. The calm didn’t last before her head started to thrash and her hand clutched at him. “Garrett, please help. I feel like I’m going to break apart if you don’t move.” Her attention was riveted on him as she panted. She tried but was unable to keep a breath in her lungs.

  “I’ll take care of you.” He growled low in his throat as he began to move slowly in and out, deeper and deeper until she took all of him and let her get the feel of him as he moved inside her. Intense pleasure skipped down his spine from the constriction of her pussy around his aching shaft. He gritted his teeth so hard, he was amazed he didn’t break any teeth. He had to get her to go over first. No matter what, he needed to give her the pleasure of an orgasm. He continued to sink inside her, and his thrusts got stronger and faster. “Come for me, baby.” When he felt her womb start to constrict, he reached down and pressed on her clit throwing her over instantly.

  Jessica moaned as a wave of intense pleasure sweep over her. A whimper tore out of her when her climax raced down her spine and wrapped her up in sweet pain. Within a second, she felt him grow larger and harder inside her before a groan was torn from his throat. He continued to pump his hips until he started to soften.

  Garrett collapsed on top of her. He made sure he kept most of his weight off her with his elbows placed on either side of her shoulders. Jesus. He’d never felt anything like this before in his life. Everything about her drove him insane. He’d never been possessive of a woman before, but with her, he felt murderous at the thought of another man ever touching her.

  Before he’d made love to her, he’d known he was going to keep her. But now, he wanted to tie her to him so tightly, nothing would ever get between them and take her from him. His obsession with her just went to a level he’d never known existed. Insane was a mild term for the emotions that flowed through him. Losing her was not an option he would ever consider.

  As Garrett got his breath back, he slowly pulled out of her, not wanting to give her any more discomfort. His eyes bore into hers as he tried to read the emotions that were swirling through her. He bent and placed a kiss softly on her lips before maneuvered up off her. “I’ll be right back, baby. Don’t move.”

  After he disposed of the condom and cleaned up, he was back a minute later with a warm wash cloth and sat next to her on the bed. He reached for her legs.

  A bright red shade of embarrassment ran up her neck to overtake her face. She pulled her legs away from him and pressed them tightly together. “No, Garrett. Let me do that.” Her voice squeaked in alarm as she reached for the cloth.

  He held it up and away from her. “No, love. I’m going to clean you up so you’re more comfortable, and then were going to sleep.” He ignored her resistance and pried her legs apart before gently wiping away the evidence of her virginity and orgasm. When he finished, he threw the cloth toward the bathroom. He stood and pulled the comforter and blankets out from under her before he lay down next to her. He reached to turn off the bedside light before he pulled her into his arms and curled his body around her.

  “Baby, how are you feeling? Are you in pain anywhere?”

  Jessica stiffened a little. “No,” she whispered.

  Long moments went by when the only sounds were of their breathing. She felt him move behind her, and then she found herself on her back and him over her. When she tried to move, he threw a leg over hers and kept her pinned to the bed.

  Garrett leaned in and pressed his lips to hers and was pleased when she opened to him right away. He ate at her mouth for several moments before raising his head. The room was dark except for the moonlight coming in from the window, casting shadows around the room. Just enough light fell on them, he could see her expressions. “Tell me again. Are you okay?”

  Her teeth bit into her lip, and she felt the heat of embarrassment seep into her face. “Yes. I’m fine.” She tore her eyes from his probing stare. Before she took a breath, his hand slid down and one of his fingers probed up into her. A cry burst from her as need instantly took over and moved through her.

  He watched her carefully as he explored her for any sign she was feeling discomfort, but all he saw was desire, and all he felt was a rush of wet heat telling him her body was ready for him again. Garrett inhaled the sweet smell of her cream and groaned. “I can’t wait to get my mouth on you. I’m going to spend days feasting on you.”

  Jessica whimpered and clutched at his hair.

  He pulled his head away and spread his hand over her soft stomach to keep her pinned. “Now tell me what’s wrong. If it’s not discomfort, what is it?”

  Jessica drew in a deep breath, and her eyes met his for a silent moment. “Nothing is wrong,” she whispered as her hands traced the muscles in his chest. “I’m just embarrassed, I guess. I mean, good heavens, I’m in bed with a naked man.”

  Garrett shoulders relaxed and he chuckled, relieved. “You are so sweet.” He moaned and pressed her into the mattress with his heavy hand when she continued to rub against him. “Not now, love. You’re going to be a little sore for what I have in mind for you. Right now, I just want to hold you while you sleep. Could we do that?” He bent and kissed her when she nodded. He turned her on her side again and pulled her back against his chest. One arm slid under her head and the other lay over her waist keeping her against him. “Night, baby.”

  The husky timbre of his voice raced through her sending a shiver down her back. Jessica fidgeted a bit, trying to find a comfortable position before taking a deep breath. Right away, the feeling of him and his strength gave her a comfort she’d never known. “Night, Garrett.” Sleep started dragging her down within seconds.

  Garrett knew instantly when she finally fell asleep and relaxed, letting any tension he had flow out of him. He didn’t think he’d ever tell her how hard it was for him to be away from her, even for a few days and the risks he’d taken with his business just so he could get back to her faster. He hadn’t damaged his business and lost millions of dollars, but at the time, he hadn’t cared.

  He prayed the more he had her and the tighter he tied them together would slacken his obsessive need for her and help him relax.

  Chapter 17

  The first thing Jessica noticed when she awoke the next morning was that she was draped over Garrett’s naked chest, and the heat of the subdued morning sun through the sheers covered the lower half of the bed. The second thing was the hand that was slowly stroking her from her ass to her shoulder and back again.

  “Good morning, love.”

  The sound of Garrett’s raspy morning voice sent an instant ball of need down her body and made cream seep from her pussy. She raised her head and met his piercing stare and cleared her throat. “Good morning.”

  Nothing moved for long moments but his hand that continued its slow path up and down her back and his eyes that registered the expression on her face.

  “Are you hungry, baby?”

  Her stomach chose that moment to gurgle and made Jessica bl
ush and both of them chuckle. “Yeah, I guess I am.”

  Garrett raised a hand and pushed the riot of hair from her face and smiled. She was so damn beautiful. “Then I guess I’d better feed you. But first, I know you’re not going to like it, but I’m going to check you out and make sure I didn’t injure you in any way last night.”

  A blush slid over Jessica’s face and she shook her head and tried to move away. At nighttime, it was embarrassing, but in the daylight, it mortified her. “No. Absolutely not, Garrett.” Jessica pulled the blanket over her, hiding her nudity, when Garrett sat up and swung his legs to the floor before he turned toward her.

  His eyes softened, and his voice hardened. “We can do this the easy way, baby, or the hard way, love. But I’m going to check you out. I’m worried. You groaned a few times in your sleep last night.”

  Jessica dragged in a shaky breath. “Well, don’t be. I feel fine.”

  Before she could blink, he had her rolled and pinned under him with the blanket trapped between them. “Please, Jessica. I would feel better knowing you’re okay.” Garrett waited for her nod before he tugged the blanket away from her lower half and gently pressed a thick finger into her, watching her intently the whole time.

  She couldn’t mask the flinch as he pushed through her tender folds and up into her tight channel.

  He stilled instantly as worry crossed his face. “See, you’re not okay.”

  “Garrett, I’m fine, please don’t worry—”

  “Jessica, do you ever want me to make love to you again?”

  Her eyes widened, and she bit her lip as she nodded.

  It fascinated him to watch a deep blush spread across her face, and at the same time, passionate heat sparked in her eyes. Garrett bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. “Then you’re going to have to let me take care of you.”

  “It’s embarrassing.”

  “Baby, I am going to know every part of your perfect little body better than you know yourself. There won’t be a millimeter of skin I don’t touch and taste, so you better get used to me touching you and being naked in front of me, because it’s going to happen a lot.” He waited for her to make a decision, and when she nodded and relaxed her thighs, his love for her rose higher. “Good girl. Now just relax.”

  Jessica gripped the blanket to her neck with both hands and focused on the lights dancing across the ceiling and tried to ignore the man spreading her folds open and moving his finger gently around her sensitive slit. She took a breath when he started to rise.

  “Don’t move those legs. I’ll be right back.”

  She couldn’t help as her gaze followed his tight-muscled ass as he moved into the bathroom. Her eyes widened when she got the front view. “Garrett, you’re hard again.”

  Garrett froze halfway to the bed. “Baby, I’m always hard around you. Even last night after I came, I could have taken you again and again.”

  Jessica sunk her teeth into her bottom lip and a frown creased her brows. “Is that normal?”

  He continued toward her and sat facing her at her hip. “No, love, that’s not normal for me at all. The fact I woke up with a hard-on is normal, as with most men.” He chuckled at the wonder that crossed her face. A flush of embarrassment took her again as he spread her legs. “I’m just going to put this cool cloth against you to help with the swelling.”

  She flinched and sucked in a quick startled breath at the cold against her heated flesh. She lifted her head to watch him. “Is it bad?”

  His eyes jerked up to her and he chuckled. “No, love, it’s not. I just don’t like the thought of you having any discomfort.”

  A deep flush spread down her neck and chest. “But I don’t, Garrett. I feel fine.”

  He sucked in oxygen and let it out slowly. “You haven’t gotten up or moved around yet. Take my word for it, you’re going to feel it for a few hours, at least.” Worry was evident in his expression and tone of voice.

  Jessica braced herself on her elbows and made sure the blanket was secure over her breasts as a concern twisted her face. “Will that happen every time? How do you know so much about virgins? How many besides me have you had?”

  Garrett held back a chuckle when her voice started rising in agitation with every question. “Let me answer the first question. No, the swelling won’t happen again unless we go at it all night, and I don’t give you a break. Second question, I don’t know a lot about virgins. I’m just using my common sense. Third question, no, you’re the first, last, and only virgin I’ll ever have or want.” He watched as she took in his words. “Feel better?”

  A smile crossed her face and a warm glow flew through her. “Okay then.”

  Garrett snorted. “Good, now lay back, I’m not done down here.”

  She maneuvered herself up a little more, wanting to watch him look at her most private parts. “What else are you going to do?”

  Garrett bit the inside of his cheek before he raised his eyes and held up a plastic container. “I’m going to dab a little of this on you to help ease you.”

  “What is it?”

  His eyes rolled. “It’s just Vaseline. It will help with the chafing. Now relax, so we can get this done. I’m hungry.”

  Within minutes, he’d taken care of her and pulled on some gym shorts. He tugged her out from under the blanket, ignoring her embarrassment, and dressed her in his dress shirt from the night before. She stood silently and watched as he did up all the buttons and rolled up the sleeves that flowed past her hands. When he was done, he stood back and smiled. He always decided she couldn’t get any more adorable.

  “Come on, love. Let’s go get some breakfast.”

  Garrett sat Jessica on a stool at the large granite island in the middle of the bright, sunny kitchen. He allowed her to cut up a few vegetables and butter the toast, but otherwise he wanted to make scrumptious vegetable and cheese omelets for her.

  While he cooked, Jessica tried to take in every little detail of the kitchen. From the light maple cupboards, the gray tile floor, and tan, gray, and cream-with-little-hints-of-black granite counters, it was absolutely perfect, and she hoped one day he’d let her get her hands on it and cook him a meal. They sat at the island while they ate and talked about their jobs and current events.

  After breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, Garrett took her back to the master suite, undressed both, and pulled her into his large, gray-tiled shower. He washed every inch of her body and her long thick hair before standing still when she washed him, laughing at the tide of red that crept up her neck to cover her face. After he put on a clean pair of shorts, he put her back in his shirt because he liked the way it looked on her tiny frame. He helped her squeeze as much water out of her hair and used a towel to soak up more. She wouldn’t let him use a blow dryer unless he wanted her to have crazy frizzy hair.

  After their shower, Garrett gave her a tour of the house. Besides the kitchen and laundry room, on the main floor, there was also a living room with a large stone fireplace. The walls were painted a soft gray, bringing out the grey tones in the fireplace. There was also an office/media room, two bathrooms, and another room that lay empty. The top floor had the master bedroom and bath, five other empty bedrooms, and thee more bathrooms. Her favorite places were Garrett’s bedroom, the office they were in currently, and the back patio.

  It was instant love when she stepped out the back. It had a large, kidney-bean-shaped swimming pool, and a shed—close to the size of her apartment—that Garrett said stored the pool equipment. A hot tub and several groupings of wicker-styled furniture were spaced around the pool. The backyard even had a kitchen with a large grill and sink. The abundant plants, shrubs, and flowers gave the yard a colorful peaceful sanctuary.

  “How do you make it look like this?” Everywhere she looked was beautiful.

  “The vegetation, yard, and pool are taken care of by a company, so I don’t have to worry about it. I also have a cleaning service in once a month to care of the house, but with just me
here, there is very little to do.” He noticed a shiver caused by the cool morning air and pulled her back into the house.

  They spent the rest of the day watching movies and napping on a huge white leather sectional in his large home office. Every once in a while, Garrett turned her and took her lips. He couldn’t seem to stop touching her, but he always pulled back when it started to get heated. It would be another day before he could even think about taking her again, if he didn’t want to hurt her.

  Besides the sofa, he had a large wooden antique desk and several chairs scattered around the room. She was able to determine that the furniture was very expensive, but everything in the house he used had bland hues, there were no pops of color. No family pictures or knickknacks, nothing that showed his personality. Now she could understand why he’d asked to her to help decorate his home.

  Jessica raised her head from his shoulder. “I have to get home,” she said reluctantly.

  He kept his eyes closed as his fingers combed through her long hair. “No, you don’t.” His voice was low and tranquil.

  She levered her arm up on his chest and rested her chin on her elbow. “Garrett, I have to work tomorrow, and I’m assuming you do too.” She frowned when he just grunted. “I’m not kidding, Garrett.”

  Garrett squinted open one eye and tightened his arms around her when she tried to stand. His first over-the-top reaction was to tie her to his bed, but he didn’t think she’d appreciate that, and he didn’t want her pissed.

  Jessica growled. “Garrett.”

  “Jessica,” he mimicked, only to have her narrow her eyes at him. Damn, she was sweet. He wanted to laugh but knew he’d regret it.
