by Jennifer Chipman

I knew, that once I found the right person, I was going to be in it for the long haul. Once I met her, I was going to do whatever it took to keep her in my life, and make sure she knew that I was hers, forever. And she would be mine. Absolutely, unequivocally, mine. I was just waiting for her to walk into my life.

“I’d much prefer to meet the love of my life in more of a… Unique way.”

She carried herself as if the very world depended on her light, the warmth of her smile. Maybe it did. I smiled into my coffee as I thought, maybe mine did.

Spread those pretty legs wide for me, honey.” “Matthew—please…” “I’m going to fuck you now, Noelle, and when I do, you’re going to be mine, okay? So, you can’t charm anyone else with those big brown eyes of yours—cause I’m the only one who gets to see you like this, who gets to feel your pussy clenching around me, hm?” I

“You’re taking me so good, pretty girl,” he said, “like you were made for me.”

“The way I’ve been inside of you, but you still blush over the smallest things.”

“Oh, I won’t be eating sweets, baby. I’d be eating you.”
