What is she talking about?
“Of course not. I told you that Jake and I have started quite a few businesses. We were trying to see what works and what doesn’t. I just used one of my old LLCs. I didn’t want you to know it was me because I wanted to protect myself. I was worried if you knew I was falling in love with you, it would mess things up or leave me open to getting hurt. I don’t know. What I do know is I wasn’t trying to hurt you.”
“I know,” Gemma whispers. She looks down at the ground before rushing over to me and wrapping her arms around me. “Oh! I’m sorry for doubting you. I should have just talked to you instead of getting all in my head and running away.”
For a second, I’m too surprised to do anything, but then I wrap my arms around her. Having her body pressed into mine feels like the best thing in the world. I never knew a person could hold so much love and happiness for me.
“It’s okay,” I shrug. “You’re here now, and I’m glad you’re back.”
Gemma moves her head back to look me in the eyes. “No, I should have trusted you. I hope you’ll be able to forgive me and trust me again.”
“There are ways you can make it up to me,” I suggest, tucking her hair behind her ears.
“Yes, I promise we can revisit this later, but right now, we have a reputation to save.”
I pull away slightly. “What are you talking about?”
“Before we get into all that,” Gemma shakes her head like her thoughts are coming in at a mile a minute. I’d love to know what’s going on up there, but I’ll take what she gives me. “I love you, too. I was fighting with myself these past two weeks. I didn’t know who to believe, I wasn’t even sure if I could trust myself. After your brother came to see me, I realized I needed to give us a chance, at the very least. I waited so long because I didn’t want my doubts to be true. That would have been too depressing.”
“I know what you mean. I was going through my own thing after you left. My own issues.”
Gemma caresses my cheek. “I want to hear all about it, but there is something super important we have to get a jump on. Your livelihood depends on it. I need to talk to your employees. Is that okay?”
I shrug. “Sure. What do you need to tell them?”
She smiles but doesn’t say anything, instead motioning with her head for me to follow her. We go out to the office, and I wait to see what Gemma is about to do.
“Hi, everyone! Could I have your attention?” Slowly, the noise dies down, and everyone is paying attention to Gemma. “So, Mr. Davies and I are going to need a little bit of help. Someone is planning on trying to disgrace Mr. Davies, and we want to come out in front of it. It’s not mandatory to help, but if you feel like he’s worth it, we’d appreciate your support.”
There are pockets of chatter as my employees take in the news. Gemma looks back at me.
“Do you have media connections?”
“Yes, I do.”
She shakes her head, laughing. “Of course, you do. Why did I even ask?”
Gemma goes back to talking to the people on the floor, going from desk to desk, giving instructions. I love seeing her feistiness and fire in action. She knows how to take command of a room, and she looks fantastic doing it.
I’m so happy she’s back in my life, and I’m even happier that she loves me, too.
Chapter Thirty - Gemma
It’s almost midnight, but Daniel and I have finally finished the profile piece we were making. I figured the best way to poke holes in Detective Brinks’ case was to make sure no one believed the accusations. So, we wrote an article telling the truth. We’ve just sent it to the press, and now all we can do is wait. It talked about all the good Daniel has done, from helping small businesses like mine to how all his employees love him.
“Do you think it’s enough?”
I can’t help but worry. The profile is excellent. We put our all into it. It showcases everything good about Daniel, and there are so many great things about him.
“It’s perfect. Especially now that the world will know about us,” Daniel comments, wrapping his arms around me. He leans into my shoulder a little, and I grab his hand, squeezing it.
“And you’re sure you want to include that?”
It was Daniel’s idea to announce our relationship — putting a stop to his reputation as a womanizer. I would have stayed with him either way. The only recognition I needed was from him, but I know that commitment and attachments are a touchy subject for him.
“Of course. You’re mine, and I’m yours, and it’s time we accept that, don’t you think?”
I nod and smile, raising my head to give Daniel a quick kiss. He’s right. This is the best next step for us. We’re both finally both on the same page, and it’s perfect.
“Yeah, I think so. And thank goodness we were able to get it out in time. We really did it.”
The two of us are looking at the article, our handiwork.
“I like all the adjectives you used to describe me.”
“I used a thesaurus.”
“So, we’re playing that game, eh?” Before I can answer, Daniel’s phone rings. “Hello?” He pauses. “Oh, detective. How are things?”
“Is it her?” I mouth. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d heard about the article. I’m sure she has her ways.
Daniel nods before putting his phone down and placing it on speaker.
“I heard about that little piece you’re going to have in the paper tomorrow. Good for you, making your employees sign off.”
Dan grunts. “I didn’t make them do anything.”
“Whatever,” she scoffs. “I’m just calling because I thought you might like to know the case is being thrown out. My sergeant says there’s a lack of evidence, and with your character piece coming out, she wants to avoid unnecessary mess. I just want you to know that I haven’t given up, though. In a few months, I’m sure you and Gemma will be done. Paying her off won’t be enough to keep her around forever. I’ll try my case again when it all falls apart. You better watch out.”
“I’ll keep my eyes peeled,” Daniel comments before hanging up.
“Oh, that was rude,” I tease, getting up from my seat and throwing my arms over his shoulders.
He laughs and smiles up at me. “That’s too bad for Detective Bricks, I guess. I’m just glad everything turned out okay. I needed you, and you came through for me. You’re absolutely perfect.”
“Perfect enough to be with me longer than a few months?”
“Perfect enough to be with forever.”
I feel the dopiest smile on my face. I get to spend my life with this man. I couldn’t ask for anything better.
“You know, I still owe you an apology. Whatever you want, I’ll do anything to make it up to you.”
I see the spark go off in Daniel’s eyes and know he has a few ideas.
“Why don’t we start with,” he trails off as he looks around the room for something. He goes to a drawer and pulls out a blindfold. “Here we go. You trust me?”
“With my life,” I confess, and I mean it with my entire being.
He walks back over to me and places the blindfold over my eyes. Once the fabric is snug around my head, Daniel places his hands on my shoulders, and I feel his mouth by my ear. “Come with me.”
He takes my hand, and I hear a door open before feeling a breeze.
“Where are we?”
“The balcony. Watch your step.” My love continues to guide me. We keep walking until I feel the balcony’s edge. “Hold onto the ledge.” I put my hands out and touch a cold flat stone surface. I place my palms face down. “You can rest your face as well.”
My heart races as the sounds of the street float up to my ears. It’s crazy being so high up and not being able to see. Slowly, I rest my cheek on the ledge, taking deep breaths.
“I’m going to lick your pussy until you come,” Daniel says while pushing my skirt up. Soon, it’s bunched at my waist, and I can feel his lips on my thighs. My pu
ssy clenches with thoughts of what’s to come.
He pulls my panties down my legs, taking them off of me entirely, and throwing them God knows where. He spreads my cheeks, and I feel his tongue swirl through my folds from the back. It feels different but heavenly.
Daniel continues to please me with his mouth, twirling his tongue, and aggressively sucking on my pussy. I clench and unclench my fists, wanting to hold out for as long as I can. I never want these good times to end, and I know they won’t.
Dan stands up, replacing his tongue with his hand. He bends his body over mine, kissing the edge of my ear.
“How does that feel?” He rubs my pussy with the space between his thumb and pointer finger. Everything is being stimulated from my clit to my folds.
“Amazing,” I breathe.
He rips the blindfold off, and I’m able to see how high up we are. The jolt from the surprise mixed with his magical hands cause me to come immediately.
“Holy shit!”
I ride out the wave until I’ve spent myself and relax into the ledge. Daniel kisses my cheek before taking his body off of mine and picking me up into his strong arms. Whenever he makes me come, I turn into the laziest person. My body is just so spent afterward, but he always manages to revive me for another round.
After carrying me to the master bedroom, Daniel places me on the bed. I sit up and watch him take off his shirt.
“Now, where were we last time?” he asks with a cheeky grin.
“You had your cock in my ass.”
I scoot to the front of the bed and undo his pants, pushing them down aggressively. We’re both so starved for one another, our actions are a bit clumsy, but that’s the fun in it.
“Oh yes, let’s finish, shall we?”
I nod in agreement and pick up my arms so Daniel can take my shirt off. We both get ourselves completely naked before getting into position. I feel the tip of Daniel’s cock circling my asshole. He plunges into me, it feels so good, I scream in ecstasy.
“Don’t stop!” I yell.
“I’ll never stop,” he grunts.
That’s all I want, to have these moments with Daniel forever.
Chapter Thirty-One - Dan
Gemma’s ass is bouncing back and forth as my pelvis slams into her. I watch my dick going in and out of her tight asshole. It looks almost as hot as it feels. And that feeling is out of this world.
Everything about this woman is perfect: her body, the way she responds to me, how her flesh feels on mine… perfection.
Having her tight asshole wrapped around my cock feels amazing, and I don’t want to stop, but I miss the warmth of her pussy. Two weeks was way too long, and I want to feel those wet walls envelop me.
“Come on,” I say, slowly pulling out of her while getting off the bed to stand up. Gemma looks over her shoulder at me with a sad pouty expression. I give her ass a quick slap that makes her giggle.
“We should take a shower.”
I waggle my eyebrows suggestively. Gemma sees my hints and hops off the bed joyfully, tucking herself into my side. Her little body feels so perfect snuggled into mine. Wrapping my arm around her shoulders, I lean down and plant a kiss on the top of her head then lead her towards the bathroom.
We walk over to the shower, and I turn the water on. Gemma is peppering my torso with kisses while we wait for the water to get warm enough.
“Someone’s excited,” I tease.
“Excited to be with you,” she mumbles against my chest, taking my nipple in between her teeth and biting down softly.
“Hey!” I wasn’t expecting that, so the surprise really got to me, but I chuckle because I’m not mad at it.
“Just thought you’d like a taste of your own medicine,” Gemma smiles, resting her whole body against mine as she looks up at me.
“You’re going to pay for that.”
I pick her up and place her directly under the spray of the water. Her hands go to protect her face as she laughs and laughs. The sound creates a surge in my heart. I love hearing her joy.
But right now, I want to hear her moan. Moving into the shower, I press her into the wall, keeping her legs apart with my knee. I can tell Gemma is hungry for satisfaction when she starts writhing on my leg, rubbing her pussy lips all over my skin.
I grab the soap and rub down my cock. “How much do you want it, baby?”
“I want it so bad,” Gemma whines, watching my every move.
Her fingers interlock behind my neck, holding onto me for balance. I grab the showerhead and use it to clean the two of us off. I start by letting the water fall down Gemma’s breasts, the droplets hanging onto her nipples. I have her let go of me and take the other showerhead to clean me off. She takes her time, making sure to get the day’s sweat off of me. We also use the body wash and loofas I have in the bathroom.
She gets to my cock and slowly rubs her soapy palm up and down my shaft. I haven’t come yet, and my balls are practically bursting, but I don’t want the night to come to a pause just yet.
I grab Gemma’s wrist, pushing her arm into the wall. I get her other wrist and get her arms over her head, pinning them down with one hand.
“You’re being naughty.”
“You make me naughty,” she counters, biting her bottom lip.
“Do you know what I do to naughty girls?”
Gemma nods. I grip the showerhead and bring it directly against Gemma’s clit. She starts, but I keep her from getting too far. Her body continues to quiver as the pulses from the showerhead stimulate her clit. Greedily, I watch as pleasure transforms her face, and her eyes get distant.
“Oh, Daniel!” she screams.
I wrap my lips around one of her nipples, sucking and licking the hardened bud. I don’t let up until I hear Gemma come, the moans escaping her lips some of the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard.
I kiss my way back up to her face, bring her into a passionate kiss.
“Ready for more?” I ask against her lips.
“Always.”
I turn off the shower, and we step out. I do a quick pat-down of our bodies before carrying Gemma over to the bed. I drop her down onto the mattress. She gets on her knees and wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me down on top of her.
“Let’s do this.”
As Gemma kisses me, while we make out, I push my hard cock deep into her dripping wet pussy. Gemma’s back arches, pushing her body into mine.
“I love you.”
The words spill out of me. I want to say these words to her for the rest of my life. I never felt anything as deeply as the love I have for Gemma.
I continue driving my cock into her, our bodies slick, sliding on the bed until I’ll all the way in. Her pussy is wet and tight around me. It’s so hot that I can barely keep from coming right away. Calming myself with a few breaths, I pull back, sliding my shaft all the way out of her before pushing back in so hard I have to catch my breath again. The change from cool to warm makes my dick tingle and strain.
I can’t hold back any longer. Pulling her legs around my hips, I trap Gemma onto the mattress and pound her little pussy hard. The friction between us lights up every never I have. My balls strain, pulling up, ready to unload all my seed into her womb.
Maybe tonight we will make a baby. The idea excites me on a primal level, and I start to lose my head. The world drifts away as I move faster and faster inside my love. I can feel her cervix hitting my tip, rubbing my tip, and begging for me to fill her up with my cum.
“Don’t stop, don’t stop!” Gemma yells, her hands tangled in my hair.
Reaching to the side, I bring my hand around her thighs to spank her. Each time my hand hits her soft skin, she flinches with pleasure and gasps in my ear. After three times, she stiffens.
I keep thrusting into her core, feeling the blood rush down to my balls. Gemma’s pussy tightens as she comes, her juices coating my shaft. I come with a roar, my seed spilling into her. I pump until I’m spent, holding my body over hers.
&
nbsp; Once we’ve both caught our breath, I roll over and lie down next to her. Gemma snuggles into me. She looks up at me with hazy eyes and a blissful smile.
“I love you, too. I’m not sure if I’ve said that yet.”
“I know you do,” I smile, brushing her hair out of her face.
“Good, but I just wanted to make sure. No more miscommunication.”
Yes, she’s right. “In that spirit, I want you to know that I plan to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, that’s good because I had the exact same plan.” Gemma relaxes into me, the two of us ready to take on our lives together. “Now, all you have to do is buy a ring.” She winks at me.
I lean down and kiss her on the forehead. “I’ll take you shopping tomorrow. You can have any ring in Manhattan that you like.”
I never thought this day would come for me, but I cannot wait to marry this woman. She is my everything.
Epilogue - Gemma
Six months later
I cannot believe it is my wedding day. Who knew? Dating and relationships have always felt like something that was never ever going to happen for me, and now, I’m about to get an entire husband. It’s crazy!
“How are you feeling, babe?” Poppy comes back with two small glasses of champagne.
“Excited, nervous, happy.”
Daniel and I have already committed to one another with our words, but the whole ceremony is something else. Even though we had a rocky start, I know our love was inevitable.
“I’m so happy for you, girl. Ugh, you two are so perfect for one another.” Poppy starts doing my hair, styling it into a fancy updo. “You guys are just meant to be. You have that love that people strive for.”
“Thanks for being there for me during all the drama. When I thought all was lost, you were the voice that told me to keep fighting.”
She smiles at me in the mirror. “Of course. I know you’d always have my back, so I got you.”
We lean together into a hug and then toast with our champagne.
