She watched him walk toward her, anticipation building inside her causing the fire to beat below her belly. She smiled. How could she not? He was so handsome, smart, funny, sexy, loving, and attentive. The TOTAL package so to speak. The love she felt for him welled up in her eyes and by the time he reached her and took her into his arms, she started crying.
"Shhhhh M'Love. No crying", he said as he held her tight against her sobs.
She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck. "Happy tears, baby, they're happy tears. I just love you SO much and it just bursts out in tears," she choked out between sobs.
"I love you just as much Baby Doll," he whispered into her hair as he laid his cheek against the top of her head.
She gave a heavy sigh and lifted her head to look into his caramel colored eyes. "I know you do," she said. "I can see it when you look at me with those gorgeous eyes. Not just gorgeous in color. Gorgeous from the love, the passion, the desire," she said kissing him between each quality she listed.
He smiled at her and leaned down to kiss her. As the kiss deepened, he wound his fingers through her hair to hold her in place. He pressed her body against his and she could feel that he was becoming as aroused as she was.
When they finally broke off the kiss, he took her by the hand. "Come, M'Love. I have a surprise for you," he said as he led her over to his truck.
He led her around to the passenger side and opened the door for her. He motioned for her to climb in. After she climbed up and got settled, he closed her door and walked around to climb in the truck himself. When he climbed in, he leaned over to kiss her lightly on the cheek, but didn't say a word. Not that any were needed. They each knew how the other felt.
He turned his attention back to driving. After he put the truck in gear, he reached over and took her hand and held it, smiling. Riding in silence for all of 10 minutes, she said, "Are you going to tell me where we are going?"
"If I did that, it wouldn't be a surprise."
"Ok then, how 'bout a hint then?"
"Oh now, where would be the fun in that?"
She just squeezed his hand and smiled again.
"That's right Baby Doll. Keep smiling. I love it when you smile."
"Honey, you always make me smile. Even when I don't want to. One of the MANY things I love about you."
They drove on down the road for a while talking about how their day was going so far. The usual small talk. He was taking her down roads she had never been down before. She had no idea where in the world he was taking her.
They drove for about an hour north before he stopped at a gas station. "I just need to get some fuel. Do you need anything Love?" he asked her.
She smiled. He was always thinking of her. "I think I just need to get out and stretch my legs. And maybe use the restroom. Otherwise, I'm good. Thank you."
"I didn't ask if you're good," he said with a smile. "I KNOW you're good. I asked if you NEED anything."
"The only thing I need is you sweetheart," she said and kissed him.
They went in and paid and took their little break and headed out again. She was very excited, grabbed his hand and squeezed it. As they drove down the road, she stroked his arm, his shoulder, his face. She just couldn't stop touching him. She loved the feel of him and couldn't get enough. She was an addict and he was her addiction.
After another couple hours of driving through some very nice country, they pulled up to a cute little country cottage. It was a rustic type cottage to look at on the outside, but inside it had all the "modern" fixtures; a gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and most important, indoor plumbing.
He pulled the truck into the drive in front of the cottage and told her to stay put. She looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face, but sat still. He came around the truck to open her door for her, helped her down, took her by the hand and led her to the door.
He took her face in his hands, looked into her eyes and said, "I love you Baby Doll," before he leaned down to kiss her gently. He opened the door and led her inside.
"This is ours for the weekend baby," he said as he led her around the cottage.
"The weekend? But honey, we didn't bring any clothes or anything."
"Relax, Love," he said. He led her over to the closet and opened the door. "It's all taken care of."
She took in a deep breath and said, "Eric? None of that stuff is mine. What did you do?"
He took her in his arms and said, "So I bought a few things for you. Things I want to see you in. No big deal, Baby Doll. You deserve this weekend."
With tears in her eyes, she hugged him. "I don't deserve anything special."
He took her chin in his hand and tilted her head back to look in her eyes. "Yes M'Love. You do. After last weekend, you deserve this."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of last weekend. It still hurt more than she wanted to admit. It wasn't his fault, nor did she blame him but it still hurt. They were supposed to go away for the weekend. She was in her friend's wedding and they were going to make a nice weekend of it. Only it didn't happen. Just as they were getting ready to leave, his boss called with a service job for him. No matter how much he argued, he couldn't get out of it. She was devastated. Thing was, she knew it hurt him just as much.
He kissed her tears away as he said, "Shhhh M'Love. It's ok, we have here and now."
She took his face in her hands and said, "I don't cry for me. I cry for US. I get that it hurt you as much as it did me. Your boss is an asswipe. It was not your fault. I know that baby, I know." She pulled him to her and kissed his lips gently as fresh tears started to fall.
As they kissed, his hands started to wander. As his tongue gently probed hers, he backed her against the wall. She moaned against his mouth. She loved it when he did things like that. Sometimes she preferred to be the dominant one, but most of the time, she liked to be the submissive. And the thing was, he ALWAYS knew exactly which one she needed.
He moved to pin her arms over her head as he deepened the kiss. He crushed her body with his. The weight of him pressed against her sent a shiver through her hardening her nipples, which sent a jolt somewhere lower. He moved to put his knee between her legs and pressed against her.
