Bradly's POV
She closes the door to my office, her eyes are gazing in mine.
Why do you want to take me out Bradly?
Maybe I just like you.
You don't even know me.
I know that you are scared.
You don't know anything
She looks down to the floor and bites her lip. My heart skips a beat. How can one woman do this to me?
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
Why'd you stop drinking?
I ask her as I inch closer to her, she smells of sugar cookies and coconut. The scent fills up my nostrils. and I am over powered with the feeling of lust for her. I am transfixed by her presence and become intoxicated. There is a magnetic pull that I cannot resist, I've tried and nothing works. I want to explore this connection between us further and see where it leads us. I know that I will have to take risks but for her I will do anything.
I haven't been able to drink since Derek. Even the thought of alcohol makes me want to vomit.
He will NEVER hurt you again.
Tears well up in her black eyes, and my heart drops. I hate seeing her cry, I want to kill Derek. Next time I see him I will put him in the hospital. I don't know what she saw in him.
There is a knock at the door and Kinsley opens. I quickly back away from Jessica, and my hand reaches the back of my neck.
Uh, yes what can I do for you Kinsley?
Theres an order, someone needs to make it.
Of course, we will be right there.
I follow Kinsley, and lead Jessica back out to the kitchen. A few moments pass and we are back into our spots we were in before. As the work day fades away, and the night comes to a closing, I head to my office to finish up some last minute paperwork before heading out for the night. Im drained but I keep grinding, I'm so focused I barely hear the door to my office open. I turn around to find Kinley, keys in hand.
Alright boss, I'm headed out for the night see ya later.
Goodnight Kinsley, thank you for all your hard work today.
She leaves, and I turn back to grinding on my paperwork. I've been so focused on making reservations for Zupas that I forgot all about the inventory deadline for tonight. I have thirty minutes to count everything in dry storage and send it off. Feeling overwhelmed, I huridly print out the number sheet, grab the clipboard, and pen. As I rush toward the dry storage area and start counting, my mind wanders back to Jessica. The distractions make it difficult to fulfill the task at hand but I push through, determined to meet the deadline. With each item counted, my anticipation grows knowing that Jessica is still here finishing up the dishes. I hope I can get done before she does. I want to see her before she leaves, I need to see her. I need an answer for dinner for Friday night. I finish counting the inventory and sprint back to my office to enter it all in.
Come on, come on
One more little number, got it. I don't hear the door open.
I just finished all of the dishes, I'm headed out.
I jump, and the clipboard falls onto the floor.
Wait don't leave yet.
I pick the clipboard up and walk towards her, I must have been walking a little too fast because she backs away quickly.
I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to ask you about friday.
Friday sounds great, I've never been to Zupas before, so I don't know what to wear.
Wear anything you want, you will look beautiful either way
Okay she smiles. What time should I be there?
I'll pick you up at seven.
Okay..
She is hesitant, she doesnt trust me yet but she will I will do everything in my power to protect her.
A few days pass and friday is finally here and I'm so nervous that I can't even get my tie on. Just be cool. I finish with my tie and jolt downstairs after putting on my dress shoes. I jump into my pearl white lifted jeep and head to Jessica's.
With red rose in hand, I knock on her door, and few moments later it opens and shes standing there; I feel my jaw drop. Her dress is a dark purple with rhyne stone accents, her hair is down, and her bangs are styled. Her black hair is curled and falls down past her ass. I have never seen it down before, her eyes are sparkling. I take in her beauty all at once and present her the rose.
Awe, thank you. You don't have to keep buying me flowers you know.
I know but you deserve it.
Well, thank you. Should we get going?
I lead her to my jeep, and drive us to the resturant. We spend the evening laughing and talking, getting to know eachother a bit better. After a couple hours pass the waiter comes to bring us the check. To my surprise Jessica tries to take it. There is no way I am letting her pay. Tonight is all about her and later I am going to show her just that, as long as she wants it. After I pay for the check we get into my car and I drive us to my apartment.
Where are we? She asks.
My apartment
Her face looks stunned and my stomach turns
We don't have to go in or anything. I stamper
I want to..
My heart leaps out of my chest and I run around the other side of the car to open her door, and I lead her inside.
`My heart races faster with every kiss that I paint onto her body. We are in my bed, and the only thing that we have on is our underwear. Hers black, lacy, her boobs are so perky and her n*****s are hard from the cool air in my apartment. She's never had an experience like this before, I am her first, and I plan to be her only. I'm so hard that I want to f**k her but I can't, she's not ready to go all the way yet. I can tell by the way she flinches every time I touch her.
As I gently caress her skin, I can feel her body responding to my touch. Her breath catches in her throat as I kiss her deeply, and I know that she's ready for more. I slide my hand between her legs, and she moans softly as I explore her. I want to make her feel alive, to show her the depths of pleasure that she's capable of experiencing.
Shh baby, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you
Another moan runs off of her lips as I slip my finger inside her.
Touch me
I plead, whispering into her ear. She obeys my plea and reaches down and touches me.
Do you feel how hard you make me? How badly I want you?
She opens her eyes again, the earth around me goes quiet. It's just me and her. Oh how long I have waited for this. She doesn't know it yet but I'm going to protect her. No one is going to hurt her ever again. Her black eyes are piercing straight through me, and I swear I get harder.
Do you want to play with me?
She nods in response, I lean into her, and whisper into her ear.
Say something baby, talk to me
I'm virtually out of breath, the way that she strokes me leaves me speechless.
I need you
She murmurs as she pulls me closer to her.
I run my hand up her topless torso, then gently wrap it around her neck, and kiss her with everything in me.
As the passion between us intenses, I can't help but feel a deep sense of possessiveness. I continue to explore her body, I cant help but wonder what the future holds in store for us. Is there an us? I want there to be.
As the night draws to a close, I find myself lying next to Jessica, holding her close. Our bodies innertwined, I can't help but feel a sense of contentment that I have never experienced before. I know that there is something special between us, and I am determined to nurture and protect it. As she falls asleep in my arms, I make a silent vow to myself I will do whatever it takes to make her mine, both in body and in spirit I will protect her and support her with everything she does. The future may be uncertain, but one thing is clear I am deeply and irrevocably in love with Jessica.
