Rett

Iwent to dinner thinking I was going to have a good night with friends, but I left with my reason for existing. Literally, I left with the woman of my dreams. She’s scared of what we are going to be, I can see it every time I try getting close. I know I should slow down and give her time to adjust, but that’s not who I am. When I figure out what I want I go at it full force until it’s mine.

We sit in silence after I turn off the engine. “In about sixty seconds I’m going to get out of this truck, walk you to your door, and kiss you goodnight. You ready Beautiful girl?”

I watch and wait for her to wrap her mind around it, and once she nods, I’m in motion. When I open her door, she’s waiting for me to help her down. Once she’s upright, I wrap my hand around hers and walk her to her front door. The walk up is completely dark. “Forget to turn your lights on before you left?”

She fumbles with her keys for a second before unlocking her door and walking inside. “Oh, I never do. I can see pretty good in the dark, there isn’t a need for them.” She says nonchalantly like there is no way someone is going to be waiting in the dark to hurt her.

I follow her in and close and lock the door, watching as she turns on a lamp in the living room. “When you leave your house from now on, make sure to turn the lights on before you go. I won’t be with you every time you come home, and I need you safe.”

“What do you think is going to happen Rett? You think I’ll catch a burglar going through my panty drawer?” She laughs.

“Ruby I’m not playing with your safety. Turn the lights on before you leave.”

“Or what? You’re not my Dad, Rett. I can take care of myself, I’m a big girl.”

“What you are is my girl, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“Oh, I’m yours?”

“You knew it the second I did. Don’t act like this is one-sided.”

She pulls her coat off and drapes it over the loveseat then puts her hands on her hips to face me. “Thank you for walking me in Rett, but it’s time for you to go.”

“I’ll leave, but you’ll be seeing me tomorrow. Walk me to the door?”

She rolls her eyes but walks over to me and pushes me toward the door. “Goodbye Rett. Have a nice night.” She says patting me on the back.

“Not so fast pretty girl.” Before she has a chance to move, I wrap my hand around the back of her neck and pull her in close, using my other hand to grip her hip. My lips are pressed to hers before she can put up a fuss and just like I knew she would, her body melts into mine. Turning us around, I push her lush body against the door and pick her up, her legs instantly wrap around my hips, and her hands spear through my short hair. I press my hard dick against her core making her tremble in my hands.

When Ruby swipes her tongue against the seam of my lips, I open for her, deepening and taking over our kiss. She rubs her pussy over my dick and moans the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard. I’ve got a decision to make. I can either take her now and make us both happy, but risk her regretting it when we’re done. Ruby is my forever, and I’m not willing to have her regret the first time we make love. Reluctantly I pull back, placing my forehead against her heaving chest.

“Why did you stop?” Ruby asks breathlessly.

“Just slowing us down Beautiful. There’s plenty of time for me to worship your body. I’m giving us time for your heart to catch up to what our bodies are feeling.”

She sighs and unwraps her legs, sliding down my body and then slips away from me, putting distance between us. I grab her hand before she gets too far away. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

She nods, but I can tell she doesn’t believe me. She’s not ready to trust in what this is. I have my work cut out for me, but I’m willing to prove myself to her. Opening the door, I stop and look at her. “Make sure you lock this after I leave.”

“Good night Rett.” She groans.

I walk out of her door and wait until I hear the lock engage before I walk back to my truck.

After years of waking up early, my body is conditioned to be up at a certain time. I check the clock on the nightstand and groan when I see it’s only five o’clock, too early to go see Ruby. I fiddle around in my room for a few minutes before I decide to go for a run to burn off this restlessness. There’s something about getting out in the fresh air and getting my heart pumping that helps to clear my head. I’ve been running along a road that butts up against the forest for fifty minutes when I decide to head back to my room. The closer I get to the motel, I start to feel like I’m being watched. I hear wolves howl in the distance and I start running faster. Something about those wolves bother me, but I don’t know why.

When I get back to my room, I shower and change quickly. I need to get to Ruby. An hour later she opens her door, standing barefoot in a robe and wearing a sleepy expression. “What the hell are you doing out here?” She says, sleep still roughening her voice.

“Good morning Beautiful. I’m sorry, did I wake you up?” I ask looking down at her from the ladder I’m perched on.

“Yes, you woke me up! Why are you on a ladder?”

“Do you need some coffee? I stopped by Berry Delicious and picked some up along with some chocolate croissants. Ms. Molly said those were your favorite.”
