Page 30 of Love at First Swim
Arielle
She gave a tiny nod and a grin overtook his face, and he stood, picking her up in his arms, kissing her and swinging her around.
She laughed, kissing him back and when he put her on her feet again, he kissed her one last time and then he slipped the ring on her finger.
It was exactly what she would have picked had she gone to the store herself.
She looked up into his dark blue eyes, and studied his handsome face, and he cupped her face in one hand, and kissed her softly.
He swept his thumb over her cheek, “Are you okay?”
She nodded, “I just didn’t know what to say. You have come in here and shaken up my entire world.”
He kissed her forehead, “Is that such a bad thing?”
She shook her head, “I just,” she bit her lip, “Are you sure about all of this? My shop, your business? Will it affect anything?”
He gave her a small smile, “Love, I would sell my entire business off before I do anything to hurt you ever again. That doesn’t matter to me. You do. You are the most important thing in my life. Not my work, you. I want you to be happy.”
She loved this man, “I want you to be happy too though. You have built your business from the ground up. It is this massive deal. I can’t let you give up things like that for me.”
She went to turn away and he grabbed her arms softly with his large hands, “Love, you are not making me do anything. I won’t be giving up anything because my world will be complete with you in it. That is what I want. I will do my best to help your business boom and as I said, I found a new place already to build the mall. It will take a few months longer, but with the added space, it will be better for my client. I could never build here knowing that I was crushing you, and your dreams. Since I found out about it, I have done all I could to find a new location and my client is thrilled with it. You are what matters. I don’t ever want you to question it. Or me, hopefully.”
She melted against him, “You did all of that for me?”
He grinned and kissed her nose, “Didn’t you hear me? I would give you the world if you only let me. I have been in love with you for a very long time and I know you need to play catch up to me, and I will give you the time, I just hope you will keep that ring on while you do so.”
She gave a small laugh, “I love you Gunner. I knew the moment I saw you before we went trick or treating that you were the man I was meant to love. That’s why it hurt so badly when I thought you were betraying me.”
He put his forehead to hers, “I know love. I know. I would have stopped the entire thing weeks ago had I found out it was you. I was too busy to see for myself and was going to remedy that this week, and yet I am so glad I found out. That your business deserves its time and I won’t do anything to hurt that. That man came to try to ruin what we had because he isn’t a good person. And I hate that you ever once thought I would hurt you that way. It was never my goal. I was just too blind with my work that it was all I saw. Until your picture opened my eyes to more. To the possibility that love was there. In my grasp.”
She stood on tip toes and kissed him and then walked to the front, locking the door.
He raised his eyebrow and she grabbed his hand, pulling him into the small office she had there, “I want you to claim me. Right here, right now.”
His face went instantly serious and then he nodded, “Are you sure?”
She kicked her shoes off and then pushed her pants down her legs, along with her panties and then pulled her shirt off, unclasping her bra.
He took a step toward her, “Siren, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.”
He cupped one breast in his large hand and then leaned over her, sucking her tight nipple into his mouth.
She let out a moan and he switched sides.
He stepped back from her and ripped the tie from his neck, and quickly stripped from his clothes.
When he was as naked as she was, he kissed her, lifting her onto her desk and with one finger, checked to see how wet she was.
He groaned and then replaced that finger with his cock, surging into her and making her gasp with how he felt deep inside her.
He claimed that gasp in his mouth and fucked her hard, grasping her hair in one hand and running the other over her body.
Worshipping her like it was necessary to him.
Within moments, his hard cock hit a spot inside her that had her crying out and he used his other hand to rub her clit softly, making her whimper into his mouth with how close she was.
With one final deep thrust from his hips hard into her and one swipe of his thumb, that was it.
