Page 71 of Bound to Him
“About a twenty-mile drive.” He reached out to grab my hand, and I threaded our fingers together, settling onto the seat. I liked this Alton, he was sweet and calm, not stressed like the man in New Gothenburg. I wasn’t so stupid as to think I wasn’t eventually getting the punishment he’d threatened, but my cock hardened at the thought of his palm on my ass. I needed that more than anything—tofeelhis skin against mine, even if it came in the form of a spanking. The burn of pain made it even more exhilarating, and my heart slammed against my ribs in a hard, rapid beat at the thought of everything he was going to do to me when we were alone.
“Why can’t we see Mama and Daddy again while we’re here?” I asked, ignoring the heat that splashed across my cheeks. They’dtoldme to call them that and I wasn’t going to be embarrassed about it. Who cared that we wouldn’t be married in four months. I wanted to enjoy it while I could,pretendthat it was a real marriage. The thought of leaving this all behind... made me sick. I might miss art school, alot, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t enjoying my time with Alton, even if it was unexpected.
“Because we spent time with them,” he grunted out with a dangerous smirk. “And I want to have you to myself before I go back to work.”
“Are we going to have sex all day long for the last week we’re here?” I teased, making a show of licking my bottom lip in a slow movement before dipping my gaze down to his crotch. “Because I can get behind that.”
“No, little mouse, you’ll be getting in front of that, not behind it.” He raised my hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to the back of it before winking at me. I shook my head but couldn’t hold in a smile.
I rested my forehead against the window and watched the land slip by us in a colorful array. I’d never seen so much area go past without a cluttered neighborhood or high-rises that reached for the sky. It was peaceful and I liked the quietness that came with it.
“I need you to do me a favor when we get back.”
“Hm?” I closed my eyes but listened to the strong Texan accent that had me melting.
“I have a school I’ve... invested a lot of time and money in.” There was a shyness in his voice that had me shooting him a surprised glance. His cheeks had a suspicious pinkness to them, making his freckles more vibrant. “It’s a school for everyone. Rich or poor. The kids board there, and they have one thing in common. They’re smart, real smart, and they have to work hard to be there.”
“Okay?” I turned fully in my seat, curious now.
“I help fund tuition and keep the school running. Twice a year I visit to spend the day with them, but I’m busy. They want me to come next year, about February or March. I don’t see myself being able to do it. I’d like you to go instead.”
“Really?” I bounced in my seat. “I...?Wow.”
The warmth in his eyes as he focused on me had me feeling tingly. “I trust you to charm them and win their hearts, and you are my husband. Now it’s out and I’ll need you to get involved.”
Every time he called me his husband my body turned a degree hotter. I was surprised I wasn’t a melted puddle of goo at this point. I squeezed the hand that still held mine. “I’d love to.”
His smile was worth a million dollars. “Thank you, little mouse.”
The drive to the cabin didn’t take long, especially with my undivided attention on the landscape, and soon we were driving up a winding dirt road that led to six cute cabins. They were something out of a Hallmark movie, minus the snow. The eaves of the roofs were lined with Christmas lights that twinkled even though it was early morning, and each white door had a wreath hanging on it. The log siding was a dark brown with two wide windows at the front, giving us a view into the luxurious inside of one, while the others had their curtains closed.
“Wow.” I leaned forward as we approached one of the cabins—the one with the curtains open—and my jaw dropped. I’d never seen anything quite like it.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he said as he parked the truck in a spot beside the cabin. “They’re part of the Preece family’s ranch. Usually the people renting them out stay on the ranch and do things like horseback riding, but me and Roscoe Preece go back a long time. He took over the place after his daddy passed.”
I had no idea what Alton was saying, but I nodded anyway and shot out of the truck as soon as he turned off the ignition. I whistled as I came to his side, staring at the cabin. It didn’t look like the type of vacation home that was cheap, but what did I know? My parents never really took us on vacation unless Dad had some ulterior motive, such as an investor he wanted to schmooze. My parents went without us once a year. It was all about work to them, not enjoying life. If we did go somewhere, business was always on the table.
He pulled out keys from his pocket and shook them at me. “Shall we?”
“When did you get those?” I asked, frowning.
“Roscoe dropped them off one night when you were in the tub. We had a good talk, too. You took too long or you would’ve met him.”
“Is he hot?” I teased, and it earned me a sharp, stinging slap to the ass.
“Careful, little mouse. The lion’s back in play now that the parents aren’t around.” He grabbed my hips and tugged me close. I fell against his chest, laughing, and tilted my chin back so he could slam his lips against mine. There wasn’t anything sweet about his kiss, he fucked my mouth and I loved every second, humping myself against him. “Let’s take this inside.”
I nodded eagerly, and he led me up the steps of the cabin to the veranda before unlocking the door. We didn’t even bother to get our luggage as he shoved me inside, and I nearly tripped over a rug that had been laid out across the entryway. I went to turn and look at the interior, but Alton grasped my hips and lifted me as though I weighed a few pounds. I gasped and wrapped my legs around his waist as he kicked the door closed behind himself and his mouth was on mine again. All I could do was hold on as he walked in a direction I couldn’t see.
His fingers dug into my ass and his cock jabbed mine, rutting against me with every step forward. Something hard in his pocket nudged at my thigh, but I couldn’t tell what it was until he dropped me on a bed covered in a soft red blanket. I grunted in surprise and glanced around, taking in the beautifully decorated room equipped with a tall bookcase full of books, a stone fireplace, two red leather armchairs beside a wide window, and wooden beams below the ceiling. It was everything I’d imagined a cabin in Texas would look like and more. The bedframe was wooden and appeared sturdy enough to hold at least ten people.
When I glanced back at Alton he’d tugged out whatever had been in his pocket, and the moment I saw the small, round bottle I chuckled and shook my head. Lube. I should have expected it. He’d been pining to get inside my ass, so it only made sense he’d do it as soon as we got to the cabin.
“What are you planning on doing with that, husband?” I licked my lips and bent my knees, letting the top half of my body fall back onto the bed.
Alton threw the lube on the mattress beside me and grabbed my left foot, dragging my shoe off. He did the same to the right and the socks came off, too. His smirk was wicked and promising and my cock throbbed at the thought of what he was going to do to me.
“Take off your pants,” he ordered, voice gruff and hungry.
