Kissing Her(20)

Brandon makes a sound and I walk over and kick the shit out of his dick while still holding Bee in my arms. When he makes a sound and then passes back out, I walk over to face her good-for-nothing family once again.

“You can keep the money I had wired, but take it as a parting gift. You are never, ever going to see your daughter again. You lost that privilege tonight and you won’t ever get it back. I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure that there’s not a day in her life where she wonders about you. I will make her so happy and give her all that she wants to the point that it will be as if you never existed in her life at all.”

When I glance over to her sister, it’s the first time I see her face pale and I wonder if all that’s happened finally registered or if she’s realizing that after what my steel-toed boots did to Brandon she might never have kids of her own.

I grab the bag of clothes next to the bed and pull Bee’s face away from my neck. “Is there anything else you want to take?” She shakes her head and keeps her eyes locked on mine as I raise an eyebrow and ask the silent question. I want to know if she wants to say anything to them, but she pauses for only a second before she once again shakes her head.

“Bee?” Her father’s voice isn’t desperate or even kind, it’s mostly confused. I’m sure he’s thinking about the potential income he’s losing out on instead of the fact that he didn’t protect his daughter from a monster and that the daughter he’s left with is an animal.

She tucks her face into my neck once again, signaling me that she has nothing left to say. I tighten my arms around her as I walk out of the house that was nothing more than a box to hold her until the day she met me.

Once I get her into the car and buckle her up I put her bag in the back and go around to the driver's seat. I pull away from the house because I have this need to be as far away from here as possible before I talk to her. I don’t want this place to have any part in what I tell her and I need to put it behind the both of us.

“Ragnar.” Her voice is small and soft as she places her hand on my thigh and tries to move closer to me.

“You’re safe now, little Bee. It’s all over.”

I hear her sniffle and it tears my heart in half. I slow down and then pull the car over at the end of the new subdivision on the way to our home. We’re not too far away, but I can’t stand another moment with her like this and I have to comfort her.

“Shh,” I say as she unbuckles and crawls into my lap. “You’re okay, Bee. It’s all going to be okay.”

“I was so scared,” she cries into my chest and I rub my hand up and down. “But somehow I knew you’d save me.”

When she looks up at me I see a smile on her face and it’s then I realize she’s crying tears of relief and not because she’s sad. I lean down and kiss her soft lips as I wipe away her tears and she wraps her arms around me.

“I love you so much, Bee. I’ll never let anything happen to you.” She stills in my arms and I smile at her. “After all that’s happened, that’s the thing that scares you?”

“I’m not scared.” She smiles again and bites her bottom lip. “Just surprised. How did this happen so fast?”

“Love doesn’t have a watch.” I kiss her again and then rest my forehead to hers. “I’m not a good man, Bee, but I’ll be what you need. I’ll be good for you, and I’ll always take care of you. I’ll love you enough that all the bad shit won’t matter. I’ll make you mine and I’ll cherish you for the rest of my life.”

“Ragnar, I love you, too,” she says as she leans back and looks at me. “I know it’s fast and I’m not experienced much in the world—”

“That doesn’t matter.” I shake my head and smile at her. “I’m more than experienced in the world and I can tell you that this isn’t out there for everyone to take.” I motion between us before I place my hand on her heart. “I would have given anything to have you because this is priceless.”

“Make love to me.” She leans into my touch and my hand slips lower to cup her breast. “Right here, Ragnar. Don’t make me wait any longer.”

The silk of her pajamas does nothing to hide her excitement as I yank the top open and the buttons scatter in the cab of my car. Her bare breasts are before me and I lean down to kiss my way to them. Her skin is warm and soft against my lips as I brush them over her hard nipple before sucking it into my mouth.

Her body is sideways on my lap and I feel her push her silk pants off of her as she wiggles on top of me to straddle my waist. Out of all the times I envisioned us making love for the first time this isn’t close to what I imagined, but I won’t ever tell her no, and if this is what she wants then this is what she’ll get.

“The preacher is coming to our house first thing in the morning,” I say as I yank open the front of my jeans and free my aching cock. “Don’t think you can try and get out of marrying me.”

She laughs as her wet entrance teases the tip of my cock before she lowers herself onto the round tight head.

“I love you, Ragnar, and I’m going to marry you.”

I press my lips to hers and smile as I grip her hips. “I wasn’t asking.”

We groan together as her tight, wet heat wraps around my cock as she slowly takes more of me with every slow thrust.
