Bale

I nstead of taking her back to my cabin like I want to, I head straight for the old hunting cabin a few yards away from the main house. It’s far enough to give us some privacy, yet close enough that if she only wants to talk and nothing more, I can take her back to the reception after we’re done.

I push open the front door, switch on the light, and walk into the living room, where I find it clean thanks to Bay’s restless nature—he keeps all the cabins on his property clean and stocked with food and supplies.

Carefully, I lower her to the ground, waiting for her to regain her balance before I let go of her. “Are you doing okay?” I place a hand back on her waist because I can’t stop touching her.

“I’m alright. I just need to sit for a moment.” She takes a seat on the leather couch, the red-brown leather matching her hair.

Fuck. I’ve really fucked this up.

“Do you want me to take you back to the party?” It’s the last thing I want to do, but if she wants to go back, I’ll take her.

“Actually, what I want to know is if I was so special to you, what took you so long to return to the garden, if you returned at all.”

“I was a fool and let the eccentricities of a lonely old lady influence my decision to stay longer than I should have after I saved Mr. Snuggles, when I should have been spending time with my girl, letting her know how much she means to me.”

“But you don’t even know me.”

“I know enough to want to spend the rest of my life loving you and our children.”

She studies my face for a few moments before taking a deep breath, “I need to show you something before you declare your undying love for me. Once you see that I’m a fraud, you’ll want to take me back to the reception.”

The sadness in her voice guts me. I never want to see her sad again. “There’s nothing about you that would make me not want you.” I reach for her hand, but she pulls it back and stands to face me.

“You say that now…” she trails off, lifting her dress over her head and tossing it onto the couch, leaving herself standing in front of me in some strange swimsuit, or at least I think it’s a swimsuit.

“It’s called shapewear.” When I don’t say anything, she continues.

“Women wear it to smooth out the lumps and bumps of their bodies they don’t want anyone to see. ”

I can only look at her in disbelief. Why would she want to torture herself in that tight undergarment? It looks like it’s digging into her skin—that can’t be comfortable.

“Off,” I say. “Take that damn thing off.”

“Excuse me?”

When she doesn’t move fast enough, I stomp to the kitchen, grab a pair of scissors from the drawer, then stride back to her.

“I never want to see you wearing something like this again.” I slice through the fabric, cutting away at such an evil contraption.

“You’re mine. If I ever see you wearing something like this again, I’m going to spank your ass until it’s bright red.

” I continue to slice away at the material until she’s left wearing nothing but high heels.

I set the scissors on the coffee table, then take her hands in mine and step back, admiring her in all her naked glory. “Beautiful.”

“I’m not…” I stop her before she can finish talking bad about herself.

“If I say you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful.” I let go of her hands and drop to my knees, kissing her soft skin, loving the feel of it underneath my hand.

***

I've never taken my clothes off so quickly as I did after I carried a naked Clover into the bedroom, laid her on the bed, and fanned her hair out on the pillows like I've been dreaming about.

"You're so beautiful, Clover." I run my hand through her hair, but my hand stills as I decide how to tell her I've never been with a woman before.

“What's wrong, Bale?” Her body tightens against mine, and her beautiful green eyes widen.

"Are you having second thoughts about this?

You've probably already guessed I'm a virgin.

I've never done this before. But I'm a quick learner.

We might have to practice a lot." She offers me a sweet smile, melting my heart and nerves.

"I guess we’ll have to learn together. I'm a virgin, too. I've never wanted to be with a woman like this until I met you."

She blinks at me in disbelief. “But you’re Mr. February. I’m sure you’ve had your fair share of women wanting in your bed.”

“I’m not going to insult you and lie about the women who have tried and failed to crawl into my bed. They never belonged there. I’ve spent my whole life waiting for a girl like you, Clover.”

I capture her mouth with mine, loving the feel of her tongue against mine. I spend a few minutes on her mouth before kissing my way down her neck to her breasts. Her tight nipples are begging for my mouth. Giving in, I take one deep into my mouth and suck hard, making her moan. "Yes, Bale. Harder."

I give her what she wants as I suck her nipple hard enough to leave a mark. The thought causes some pre-cum to leak out of my cock.

Fuck I need to be inside her now.

I hover over her and reach between her legs, finding her pussy soaked with need, "Come for me before I claim this virgin pussy.

" I run my fingers over her clit, pressing against the sensitive nub.

I watch as her body jerks in response to the contact.

"That's it. Come for me, Cinderella." I thrust a finger inside her, causing her to fall apart around it, soaking my hand with her release.

"Are you ready for me?"

At her nod, I line my cock up at her entrance and slowly push forward until I break through her virginity and bottom out inside her. Her pussy squeezes me so tight I'm not sure how long I'm going to last. It's a good thing we will have a lifetime to make this last longer.

I rock my hips back and forth, testing my limits, when Clover moans in my ear, "Bale, please. I need it hard and fast this first time. We can go slow next time."

I give in to her command, snapping my hips back and forth with such force I'm afraid I'll leave bruises on her skin.

We're both so lost in the feeling that it isn't until she's shouting her release that I let up on my thrusts, only to follow her over the edge with my own orgasm as I shoot rope after rope of my cum deep inside her.

“That was amazing.” She sighs. When can we do it again?”
