I had hope.
It emanated from me in waves and covered everything I did at work and home. Things fall into place when you’re determined to work on yourself and block everything else.
Everything was falling into place for me. Once Sutton began showing me love, it was like she poured water on dry and cracked earth. Now a forest was springing up. I’d provide shelter and refuge for her for as long as I possibly could.
“Hey, baby, I have good news.” I poked my head in the bedroom and smiled at how perfect Sutton looked sitting on the bed with her head bowed over the journal and her fingers moving. I still wasn’t used to seeing her without the finger splint yet. I loved watching her hand move fluidly.
“What’s up?” She closed the journal and turned her head toward me.
“I’m getting promoted to Red Wing office manager,” I grinned.
“Oh my god, that’s great, Lennox!” She hopped up and bolted into my arms. She was an oasis in the middle of a desert and I wanted to live in her tranquility.
“Thank you. I really feel like without you making as much progress as you’ve been making and loving me the way you have, my energy wouldn’t have been so on point for the past month.”
Sutton’s beautiful brown skin turned a warm shade of red right at the apples of her cheeks. She slid her arms around me and squeezed a little tighter.
“I’m so sorry you were hurting for so long, Lennox. I didn’t understand why I was behaving that way. Thank you for sticking with me. It’s not easy, especially after unlocking all the horrible things that happened in my childhood.”
“It’s not easy but nothing worth having is easy, Sutton.” Thoughts ran wild in my mind about DuBois and rage burned the back of my neck as it coiled around me. “Listen,” I sat on the bed and pulled her slender body and tight curves down on my lap. “I want us to look for DuBois.”
I knew she’d be put off by my request so I wasn’t shocked when I felt her body stiffen. At least this time it was directed toward the right person. I rubbed her back, slipping my fingers up and down her spine. A breath shook loose from her chest and she pressed her hand over her heart.
“You okay?” I asked.
“Yeah. I don’t know what I’d do if I found him, Lennox. Do I try to get him locked up?” She blinked at me as if millions of pieces were flying into place then she said, “What if he’s doing this to other girls?”
“Then we nail his disgusting ass to the motherfucking wall,” I grumbled angrily.
“Jesus, Lennox. I’m not used to seeing you so…heated.” Her words came out like contented purrs and my cock thickened at the sound. Without thinking, I caught her throat in the junction between my thumb and pointer finger.
I watched her brandy pools intently to see if Margot would show but she didn’t. The gasp that darted from between her parted lips came from Sutton. I pushed her back on the bed and climbed between her thighs, shoving the silky fabric of her dress up until her shapely legs were exposed.
The heels of her feet dug into my lower back. She wanted me inside of her and the heat radiating from her pussy solidified that fact. I fumbled with my belt and zipper for a few seconds. I was blinded by the intense need to fuck her…to make love to her until she felt it pouring from every part of me.
My mind buzzed once I was done stripping away the layers of clothing that stood between us. I left Sutton’s dress on because the thought of thrusting in and out of her slick pussy, making her moan and come all over my dick while she wore her fancy concert dress turned me the fuck on.
My fingertips dug into her hips hard. Stone on satin. She moaned for me and I pushed deep inside of her without wasting any time.
Now wasn’t the time to be romantic. I saw the lustful look in her eyes and I know she saw the same look in mine. We were there to fuck.
I bent her legs as far back as they would go and put all my weight into every stroke so she could feel my dick when she breathed. The headboard slapped against the bedroom wall like a screen door in a hurricane and Sutton’s kinky moans reached a fever pitch quickly.
She dug her nails so deep into my skin that I wouldn’t have been shocked if I had angry red welts afterward. “Oh my god, Lennox!” She shouted.
“Do you trust me, Sutton?” I asked, slowing my rhythm. Those big brown eyes pierced me. The way she looked at me made my heart stutter in my chest.
“Forever,” she panted.
“Good.” I took hold of her throat and squeezed until she gasped and her eyes slid shut. “Open them,” I commanded. Sutton whimpered but obeyed. “Good girl. Let me see your beautiful face when you come all over my dick.”
She made a noise but it was strangled. I monitored her expression constantly to make sure she was still with me and didn’t slip away, giving control to Margot but I also wanted to make sure she didn’t tense up. The way her cunt squeezed my dick and trickled sweet honey down my shaft let me know she liked it.
Her body shuddered and I looked down between our bodies to see her pussy swallowing my cock whole. Watching that was enough to make me come in seconds. I slammed into her once more then emptied my seed.
When I released her throat, she gasped for air and came again. My dick was so sensitive that feeling her squeeze me again sent jolts through my body. I let out a deep groan and leaned down to kiss Sutton’s lips.
“Jesus, Lennox you’re going to get me pregnant.”
“I hope so,” I smirked and rolled over. I marveled at how thoroughly she coated my cock with herself. “I’m gonna run us a shower then it’s round two.” I got up and felt her eyes glued to my ass. I chuckled all the way into the bathroom.
She was coming into her own and I was loving the journey.
