  “You didn’t tell me your name.”

  “Oh.” I giggled lightly. “My name is Anna.”

  The smile on his face was the biggest, brightest one I’ve seen so far and my heart felt like it was going to explode. He looked so handsome and so happy.

  I loved it.

  “A beautiful name for a beautiful woman,” He stated, and the butterflies fluttered in my stomach once more.

  “Are you always such a charmer?” I asked curiously, feeling bashful.

  I looked down at my hands. My faded blue jeans were getting a hole in the knee and I picked at one of the frayed strands.

  Paul’s hand gently turned my chin, and I looked at him. He smiled at me before running his thumb over my lower lip.

  “All that matters is you’re the one I want to charm,” He told me sweetly.

  I felt even more bashful. His words were the sweetest I’ve ever heard and part of me wondered if I was dreaming. A handsome man rode in on his white pickup and saved me, the damsel in distress I claimed not to be, and he’s the sweetest man I’ve ever met.

  Paul

  I got the feeling that she didn’t get to hear how beautiful she was and I wanted that to change.

  “I’m not sorry,” I said in a whisper. “I can tell that you’re feeling uncomfortable but my words are true. I think you are the most beautiful woman in the entire world and I want nothing more than to be the one that proves it to you.”

  I could see the shock written on her face. Maybe she was confused. I wasn’t sure. Then I realized what an overwhelming day she had had and probably didn’t need some bearded man putting the moves on her.

  “I’m sorry.” I felt terrible for not taking into account all that she had been through. “You probably don’t want to hear all of this from me. I should let you relax, make some phone calls or whatever you need to do. If you need to go someplace, I’ll take you wherever you want to go.”

  I went to stand up, but she grabbed my hand.

  “You have no reason to apologize,” Anna said, giving my hand a squeeze. “I enjoy knowing what you are thinking or how you are feeling. And yes, I went through hell, but I don’t want to be alone.”

  I sat back down with my hand still holding hers, refusing to let go.

  “Do you need to call anyone?” I asked, and she shook her head.

  “I can call them later. There is nothing my family can do now other than worry. My car is toast so no sense in calling a mechanic. I will need to let my friend know I won't make it, but I can do that later.” She slid her fingers between mine while she spoke and I moved a little closer to her.

  “Do you want me to take you someplace?” It wasn’t a question I wanted to ask. I wanted to keep her here with me forever but I knew I couldn’t. She had been traveling somewhere. She had a life, in the city.

  “Not right now.”

  I looked back to her, and she was smiling. This girl was going to make me fall in love with her. I just knew it. She was as sweet as she was beautiful. The breath of fresh air my lungs have been waiting for. It took everything in me not to make her mine.

  Without another word, Anna got up and moved to stand in front of me. The sun was shining through the windows across the room and making her glow. Her light brown hair cascaded down around her shoulders. She looked like a Goddess.

  I licked my lips without realizing it as I admired her body all the way down to her curvy hips and the pair of thighs I wanted to bury my face between.

  Her hands pushed against my chest and I snapped out of my daze. I watched her face as she kept pushing me until my back was against the couch. She smiled at me as she straddled my lap and moved closer. My desire for Anna grew.

  I was itching to touch her and couldn’t wait another minute. I put both hands on her thighs and ran them over the denim she was wearing. I kept going to her hips and then around to her ass. I pulled her closer, needing to feel her thick body pressed against mine.

  Our eyes stayed locked on each other as my hands ran back over her hips, only to return to her ass seconds later. I grabbed at her firmly and pressed her against me as I lifted my hips just enough for her to notice how much she was turning me on. The color of her eyes changed. They were darker now.

  Anna’s head moved closer to mine, and I heard her sigh.

  I slid my hands up and touched her back, wishing I could rip her t-shirt off. I soon forgot all about it. Anna leaned forward and pressed her lips against mine.

  Chapter Four

  Paul

  Kissing Anna was like waking up from a dream and seeing the world for the first time. She was the first drop of rain in the middle of a desert. Somehow, she made me feel like the only man in existence–the only one she needed. I would prove it to her.

  I grabbed her thighs and stood up from the couch. Anna pulled away from the kiss and looked at me. I stopped walking.

  “Wrap your legs around my waist,” I told her softly, placing a soft, sweet kiss to her lips.

  “You can’t carry me,” She whispered. A rosiness hit her cheeks.

  “Yes, I can. You’re gorgeous…” I gave her another sweet kiss. “Beautiful. Amazing.” I kissed her again. “Perfect. And I want to prove it to you.”

  She put a hand on my bearded cheek and looked into my eyes. I know she was trying to figure out if I was serious or not. Every word I said was the truth. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen and I couldn’t wait to cherish her in ways that made her feel like the Queen that she is.

  “I’m only moving if you say it’s okay,” I told her softly when she didn’t say a word. “Otherwise, I’ll sit back down and we can turn on a movie or something.”

  Her expression grew softer, and I gave her another smile.

  “Why are you so sweet to me?” She asked, and it became obvious that she had never been loved properly. Nobody had ever worshiped her and made her feel like she was their everything. That was all about to change.

  “Because the way I feel about you is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. I want to take care of you. Not just physically but emotionally. You make me want to prove to you that you are a Queen and I’m your humble servant.” I did my best in explaining how I felt but I was no poet. Romance was never something I was good at and yet, Anna made me want to do better.

  “No,” She whispered, and I felt taken back. I moved my foot to take a step back, and she pulled my face close. Her kiss was as powerful as it was passionate. My hands gripped at her thighs as I kissed her back just as passionately.

  “No,” She repeated against my lips. “You are not my humble servant. You are the King to my Queen.”

  Her lips were back on mine. I moved a foot forward and slowly walked to my bedroom. Our lips were locked together and our tongues danced. Her fingers grabbed at my hair and I was about to pin her against the nearest wall to have my way with her.

  Each step I took was torture. My cock was straining against the fabric of my pants and it didn’t help that I could feel the heat radiating from Anna. Her legs stayed tight around my waist and with every step, she rubbed herself against me.

  We finally made it to my bedroom, and I laid her down gently onto the bed. I took a moment to take her in.

  “You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” I confessed before leaning down, kissing her again. She moaned against my lips and wrapped her arms around my neck. I pressed up against her side and ran my hand over her stomach. I kept breast. I cupped it through her shirt and massaged it a little. Anna moaned softly before pulling away.

  “Take it off,” She ordered breathlessly.

  “Yes, ma’am.” I gave her a quick kiss and then grabbed her shirt, pulling it off over her head. I watched as she undid the clasp of her bra and tossed it aside, revealing herself to me.

  My mouth was watering, and I was about to lean in for another kiss when I felt her hand on my chest.

  “Your turn,” She smiled.

  It only took me a second to realize what she wante
d. I ripped my shirt off and threw it to the floor. Moving back to her, I leaned in and wasted no time wrapping my mouth around her nipple.

  “Oh!” Anna sighed, her hand going to the back of my head. I could feel her fingers slipping into my hair and I loved it.

  I started to suck on her nipple, savoring her sweet taste. This woman was intoxicating and perfect. I wanted to get lost in her taste, in her touch and in the sounds coming from her lips.

  “Paul,” Anna moaned. My cocked twitched. I was even more under her spell and loving every second of it.

  After giving one side ample attention, I went to the other. Sucking on her nipple just like I did the first, I smiled against her when I felt Anna arch her back a little. She wanted to be closer as much as I did.

  I pulled away, just enough to tease her. I slowly started to rub my beard against her tender skin and listened as Anna couldn’t decide whether to laugh or moan. Each sound she made, I wanted another.

  I was addicted.

  “I could spend hours here,” I told her softly, kissing the valley between each breast and licking different spots to see what she would do.

  “I could let you,” Anna sighed, tugging on my hair.

  I looked to her face, and she smiled at me. I could tell she was pleased, but I wanted to make it better for her.

  Kissing my way down her stomach, my fingers went to her jeans. One by one, I undid the buttons. My heart started to race in anticipation. Grabbing a hold of her waistband, I slowly started to pull the last few pieces of clothing off of her body. When I got to her feet, Anna kicked everything onto the floor.

  I looked at her again and paused.

  “What?” She asked. Her self-confidence was kicking in.

  “You are more beautiful than I imagined,” I replied with a growing smile.

  With my eyes still on hers, I moved effortlessly towards her until I was resting between her legs.

  I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to me. Her arousal was obvious and I couldn’t hold back from having a taste. My tongue darted out, and I lightly brushed against her folds. Anna moaned instantly. It was perfect.

  “Please don’t tease me,” She begged.

  “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I will take good care of you.” I sealed my promise with another slow lick against her folds. Fuck, she tasted divine.

  I slid my tongue up her pussy again and then back down. I repeated this motion several times. My need for her was unmeasurable as was my craving for her taste. I ran my hands over her thighs, running over her lower stomach and back down.

  Anna’s fingers went to my hair and pulled on it tight as she pushed her hips towards my face. Her arousal was taking over, and I loved it. Lapping my tongue back and forth over her wet folds, I moaned against her as my hips pressed against the mattress. My cock needed some relief, but I would not stop. I couldn’t. Giving Anna pleasure was all that I wanted.

  I moved my head just enough to wrap my lips around her clit. I sucked on it and Anna cried out.

  “Oh Paul. That feels so fucking good,” She moaned. Her head tipped back, and she pressed herself against me again.

  I smiled. I didn’t expect her to have such a dirty mouth.

  Bringing a hand down, I gently put two fingers against her opening. I teased her a bit with them as I continued to suck on her clit. Her hips were going crazy, pushing against me as if begging for more. Her fingers grew tighter and I flicked my tongue over her clit as I pushed in my fingers.

  “Oh fuck!” Anna moaned.

  Goddamn, this woman was going to make me lose it.

  Anna

  Holy shit! This man, his tongue. I’m going to die.

  His fingers kept pushing in, deeper and deeper. His tongue kept running over my clit, sending sparks of electricity throughout my body.

  I put my feet down on the mattress and pushed my hips towards him. I needed him closer. I needed more of him inside me. Fuck, I needed him.

  “Please,” I begged.

  Paul didn’t stop. He kept fucking me with his fingers and teasing my clit. He was pushing my arousal through the roof.

  I yanked on his hair, hoping to get his attention.

  “What’s wrong?” He asked before placing a kiss to my inner thigh.

  “I need you. Please.” I was begging again, and I didn’t care. He got me so worked up that I didn’t want to orgasm on his fingers.

  Paul pulled back and moved up my body. He went to give me a kiss but hesitated. I adored how thoughtful he was but it didn’t matter to me where his mouth had been. Reaching up, I pulled him down to me and I kissed him passionately on the lips. I could taste myself on his tongue and it made me moan.

  As we continued to kiss, I wrapped a leg around his waist to pull him closer. It was his turn to moan as I rubbed my hips against his.

  “You are so fucking sexy,” His husky voice whispered in my ear. I felt goosebumps. The things this man could do to me was incredible.

  “If you don’t…” I started to threaten, but he silenced me with his lips.

  I could feel his hand moving, trying to undo his pants. I reached down to help. It felt like it took forever but they were finally gone. Part of me wanted to see him naked but a bigger part of me needed him inside. I had to have him.

  He started to reach for the drawer in his nightstand and I reached out to grab his arm.

  “You don’t need that,” I told him softly. The curious expression on his face made me smile, and I loved that he wasn’t the type to ignore the need for protection.

  Paul didn’t say a word, trusting me as I trusted him. He moved my legs back around his waist and I could feel the tip of his cock pressed against my folders. I didn’t think I could get any more turned on but there I was, melting into his mattress. I was dripping wet, I could feel it. The look on his face told me he could feel it too.

  He leaned in and caught my lips, kissing me deeply. I returned my arms to their place around his neck and moaned against him as he gently pushed inside.

  “Oh Paul,” I moaned. Our lips brushed together, and he moaned as he slipped in deeper. As my pussy continued to stretch around his big, thick cock, I grabbed some of his hair and tightened my legs around his waist. He filled me up, and I knew it wouldn't get better than him.

  “I’m yours,” I whispered into his ear.

  It seemed to be the trigger he needed. He pulled his hips back and then pushed back in. His cock slid perfectly, back and forth. Everything started off slow but it didn’t take long for him to speed up. Paul held me in his arms as he pushed harder and faster.

  I couldn’t stop moaning. Every thrust he made, I got louder. I tried to hold on to him but I couldn’t resist touching any part of him I could reach. His arms, his shoulders, his hair. I was floating on Cloud 9.

  His lips found mine, and we kissed passionately. It didn’t last long, both of us needing some air.

  “Don’t stop,” I moaned.

  He was going as hard and as fast as he could, burying his face against my neck. His beard tickled my skin, and I moaned. My body was on fire in the best way.

  Sweat was collecting on our bodies and I knew I wouldn't last much longer. He was pushing all of my buttons and I didn’t want it to end.

  Paul slowed his hips down as if sensing my thoughts and moved his head to look into my eyes. The emotion I saw sent shivers down my spine. Deep down, I knew we weren’t two strangers fucking. There was something more here.

  I was his, and he was mine.

  It only took a few more thrusts of his hips before I called out his name in the heat of passion. My orgasm took over and my body quivered against him. He kept going, a few more times, and then buried his face in the crook of my neck as he groaned with his release.

  “Wow,” I managed to say as my arms relaxed around him. My legs slid from around his waist and rested on the bed.

  “You’re incredible,” He whispered before kissing my lips sweetly.

  He moved to lay beside me, pulling me with him. I wa
s still a bit out of breath when I put my head on his chest.

  We stayed like that for a long time. Neither of us wanted to move. We were content in the feeling that for that moment; we were together as one and had experienced something special.

  Eventually, we great hungry and set out to find something to eat. We ended up making dinner but not before dirtying up the kitchen table.

  Chapter Five

  Paul

  The sun was shining through the open spot of my curtains and landed directly on my face. I stretched out a little, yawning. I wasn’t ready to wake up yet but then I remembered her. Nothing would bring me down today. Not when I had Anna.

  Still feeling sleepy, I rolled onto my side and reached out to pull her close but there was nothing there. My eyes shot open, and I looked around.

  “Anna…” I called out, throwing the covers back. Throwing on a pair of shorts, I went to look for her.

  The en-suite bathroom was empty and so was my private balcony. I left my bedroom and scanned the great room. No sign of her.

  “Anna…” I called out again.

  She wasn’t in the kitchen. The coffee pot hadn’t been touched. Nothing had been moved in the fridge. I went to the spare bedrooms, the guest bathroom and even the laundry area. No sign of her.

  I was getting worried when I returned to the kitchen. I looked out the large windows in the living area and the balcony appeared to be empty too. I was about to double check when something caught my eye.

  A note tapped to the refrigerator. I had no idea how I missed it before. It took two steps, and the paper was in my hand.

  Paul,

  Thank you for yesterday. You saved my life and there is no way I could ever repay you for the kindness and bravery you showed me. Last night was incredible. I’ll never forget it. Please don’t worry about me. I have someone picking me up.

  Xoxo,

  Anna

  The paper fell from my hands and I slammed my fist on the counter. Something toppled over, but I didn’t pay any attention.
