Pulling back, I gazed into her eyes. My thumb stroked her cheek, and I could feel it. I’d fallen deeply in love with this angel. I couldn’t say the words. Not yet. I needed to make sure that she would never be able to leave me. I needed to bind myself to her before baring my heart and feelings to her.
“I know these things take time, but I feel like this could be so much more, Griffin.”
“Yes, my beauty. With time, anything is possible. But for the moment, why don’t I see to that urgent phone call, and I’ll let you take a peek around our home.”
I pulled out of her heat and tucked my spent cock back into my pants. Helping Bella off the floor, I tried to piece her torn dress back together only to realize a few minutes later that it’s been rendered useless.
“Why don’t you go to my closet and see if you can find something to wear. I don’t think this dress can be worn anymore.”
“Not after you ripped it open.” Bella giggled.
“It was an in-the-heat-of-the-moment thing. I didn’t think about the fact that you wouldn’t have any clothes to wear afterwards.” I smiled down at her, kissing her cheek.
I gave her my shirt and she slipped her arms into it, covering up her torn dress. I liked how she looked in my clothes.
“There, that should cover you enough to make it back to our room. We need to remedy this clothes situation immediately. I think a shopping trip is in order.”
She smiled at me shyly and I could tell the idea of a shopping trip excited her. I doubt she had ever been spoiled before and I intended to make up for lost time.
Unable to stop myself, I leaned down and took her lips captive once more, kissing her hard, and she leaned into me with a happy sigh.
“We better leave this room before we decide to go for a second round,” she suggested with a waggle of her eyebrows as her hand came up to cup my now semi-hard cock.
I growled into her mouth and pulled her closer. “Don’t tease me, Beauty. I’ll have you bent over gripping your ankles, with my cock filling up that tight pussy of yours before you can catch your breath.”
She let out a soft whimper and I knew right then that she liked the idea.
“Later, Angel.”
I turned her around and smacked her on the ass. She looked over her shoulder and grinned at me. I smiled back. I never knew happiness could be like this. So playful, so erotic, so heady.
I led her out of the room and up the stairs, making sure she found her way to our room before grabbing a new shirt for myself.
“I’ll be down in my office. If you get lost exploring, I’ll come find you in a little bit.”
I gave her a quick kiss as she nodded her head in response.
“I think I’ll have a bath before going to find you.” She gave me a wicked grin and winked as she stripped off her scraps of clothing and walked seductively to the bathroom, sashaying her hips.
She heard my growl of frustration and let out a tinkle of laughter. A ghost of a smile came to my lips as I left the room, closing the door shut behind me before descending the stairs and making my way to my office.
The smile was wiped off my face when I saw the red blinking light on my office phone, indicating that someone was still waiting for me to pick up. A surge of irritation came over me at the thought of someone waiting for me to finish fucking my Angel.
“What?” I roared as menacing as I could make my voice sound.
“Mr. Stone, thank god I finally got to you. I was worried you were never coming to the phone but your assistant, Logan, said you would, but I was so afraid you’d forget...”
“What is it, Sheila? We made our arrangement. We agreed until tomorrow night.” I was angry but in truth, this worked out well. I needed to go ahead and make the deal permanent to keep Annabella.
“Yes, Mr. Stone, we did, but somehow Miss Annabella’s original buyer found out that she was sent to you by mistake and now he wants her back. He knows you and said that he is on his way to claim his bride. I’m so sorry, Mr. Stone, I will send a full refund immediately.”
“Excuse me? Someone is on their way here to take my Annabella?” I shouted into the phone. I was beyond giving a shit about pretenses. Bella is mine! “You call the other buyer. Now. And you tell him that there has been a mistake. She’s going to be my wife. I took her innocence. She belongs to me!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Stone, but the contract spec—”
I hung up. I was getting nowhere with that bitch. I had a situation on hand to handle here.
“Logan!” I shouted through the house, storming from room to room, shouting for him. I could use the cell in my pocket but I felt like shouting right now.
He came around the corner and I barely stopped myself from slamming into him.
“Yo, Boss. What’s up?”
“Someone is on their way here now to take my Bella. Get all the security in place. Seal the gates. I want this place on lock-down. Right now!”
I saw his eyes widened but only for a fraction of a second. He acted instantly and started rattling off orders into the headset. I didn’t bother trying to make out what he was saying. I had no idea how much time we had before someone arrived. I needed to find my Angel.
Running back through the east wing, taking the stairs two at a time, I burst through the double doors to our suite and strode directly to the bathroom. I gave the door a hard shove and it slammed against the wall behind me with a loud thud. I expected to find a surprised and naked Bella in the tub but what I found was an empty bathroom.
