Mine to Cherish Read online

  “How about we grab some lunch before w-” He cuts off what he was saying as his eyes come up and he sees me in my new clothes. I fidget nervously when he doesn’t say anything for long minutes.

  “Is it too much?” I ask when I can’t take the silence any longer.

  “No. No, it’s perfect. You look stunning.”

  I beam at him, happy that he likes my outfit as much as I do and that he called me stunning. He stands there staring at me while I smile at him and I remember him saying something about lunch. It’s at that moment that my stomach growls and I give a little laugh.

  “Yeah, I think that lunch sounds good.”

  He smiles as he heads towards me and places his arm around me as we head for the elevator.

  Two Weeks Later…

  Poppy and I have settled into a new routine over the last two weeks and she’s already the longest assistant that I’ve ever had. We eat breakfast and ride into work together every morning. Sometimes I get breakfast for us but lately she’s been cooking for us at home. She’s even been showing me how to make a few basic things like scrambled eggs and pancakes. I love those mornings when we make breakfast together. Just us moving about the kitchen together and laughing about my failed attempts at cracking eggs or my burned pancakes.

  At the office, Poppy has already figured out my schedule and is amazing at anticipating what I’ll need. She’s so bright and she caught on so fast that now I don’t think that I can live without her. In the office or at home. I love her and every night I fall asleep to fantasies about making her mine.

  We haven’t crossed that line yet, but I think we both want to. I know I do and the way her body leans into me whenever I brush against her at home or at the office makes me think that she feels this thing between us too. I’ve caught her staring at my lips countless times. I came downstairs to breakfast one morning in just my pajama bottoms and I loved the way that she stared at me so much that I’ve just continued to do it ever since.

  I’m not sure how much more of this tension I can take. I’ve used my hand to relieve myself so many times these past two weeks but it’s no match for her. I could come but then, as soon as I catch her smell or hear her voice, I’m hard as steel once again. Something has to give soon.

  Poppy comes into my office at the end of the day and drops off some files that I’ll need tomorrow morning. I smile as I save the file I’m working on and stand to meet her. I tuck her under my arm as we make our way to the elevator to head home.

  “We need to stop at the store on the way home.” She reminds me.

  “Anything you want, Sunshine.” I say as we step onto the elevator and head down. She’s gotten so much better at riding the elevator and I know it’s selfish but I miss when she couldn’t ride one without being wrapped around me.

  We head out to the car and tell the driver to stop at the store on the way home. The driver lets us out up front and pulls around to find a parking spot and wait for my text. I feel Poppy slide her hand into mine and I smile to myself as we walk into the store and grab a cart. She’s been initiating contact with me more frequently these last few weeks and I love that she feels comfortable enough with me to do that.

  She grabs a cart and pulls up the grocery list on her phone as we start to walk up and down the aisles together. I love doing this every week with her. She tells me about what she wants to try to make this week and every time we do this, I picture doing this and other ordinary and mundane tasks like it for the rest of our lives.

  We fill the cart up and load everything into bags as I text my driver to come get us. We talk about our day and what we’ll make for dinner on the way home and as we carry everything inside and put it away.

  She runs upstairs to change as I finish putting the last of the groceries away. I turn when I hear her come back down the stairs and turn to see her walk into the kitchen as she twists her hair up on top of her head. A few loose pieces slip free to curl daintily around her face. She’s wearing a pair of black yoga pants and a red sweater that falls off her shoulder as she walks. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful and my hands itch to reach out and grab her and never let her go.

  I’ve decided that tonight is the night. I can’t take holding myself back any longer from making her mine. We’ve been dancing around each other for weeks now and the sexual tension has reached an all-time high. It’s like a third person in the room with us now and I know something has to give. I just need to find the right time to make my move.

  Chapter Nine

  Poppy

  We made a simple spaghetti dinner with garlic bread for dinner. Asher even managed to take the garlic bread out before he completely burned it. We laughed together about it as we ate side by side at the counter. We tried eating in the dining room once but it seemed too formal for us and we both agreed that we liked being able to sit close and not feel like we were yelling across the table at each other.

  I like sitting at the counter because of all of the accidental touches this close proximity allows. His leg brushes against mine and sends tingles racing through my body. I never felt like this before and this feeling has only grown stronger over the last couple of weeks. I can’t take it any longer but I’m too nervous to make the first move. I’ve been trying to think of ways to seduce Asher and I think tonight is the night that I’m going to try some of the moves that I looked up.

  I shift restlessly in my seat as I push the last of my food around my plate.

  “All done?” Asher asks as he stands up to clear away the dishes.

  We stand at the sink side by side as we wash and put away the dishes. We make our way into the living room once we’re done and sit on the couch together to watch some tv. Asher tosses me the remote and grabs my feet, pulling them into his lap and starts to massage them. I groan in pleasure as he rubs my arch and massages out some knots and tension. I feel something harden against my other foot and I look down to see what it is. I realize that my foot is resting in his lap right against his cock and that’s what I felt harden when I moaned.

  Feeling bold, I slowly rub my foot against his cock a little. Asher’s fingers freeze on my foot as I continue to slide my foot slowly up and down his lengthening cock. His eyes flick to mine as he realizes that I’m doing it on purpose. I see his eyes heat and his grip on me tightens as we continue to stare at each other across the couch. My core tightens until I can’t take it any longer and I lunge across the couch at him. He catches me easily and pulls me into his body as his lips find mine. He’s my first kiss and I’m sure he can tell how inexperienced I am but he doesn’t seem to mind as his tongue pushes into my mouth to duel with mine.

  He rolls me onto my back on the couch and comes down on top of me. My legs spread so that he can fit between them and I moan when I feel his hard ridge rub across my sensitive clit. He holds his weight off of me and lets me rub myself against him until I have to pull my lips away from his to gasp in a breath.

  I’m moaning and writhing under him as his lips move down my neck. He sucks and licks and bites his way to the top of my shirt which he impatiently pushes up and out of his way. I lift my arms and sit up to help him take it off and he wastes no time in ripping my shirt over my head. My bra follows quickly after and I collapse back on the couch, topless.

  He’s on me before I can blink and I moan as his lips wrap around my nipple. His clever fingers pinch and tease my other nipple until I’m a gasping, moaning, mess, begging him to take me. He switches between my two nipples, showering each of them with attention. I didn’t even know that it was possible to come just from someone playing with your nipples but I am two beats away from exploding.

  My back starts to bow off of the couch and as soon as I feel his teeth graze my right nipple, I see stars. I scream his name into the living room over and over again as he continues to play with my tits as I come down from my orgasm. I close my eyes to catch my breath and I feel him nuzzle my chest.

  My eyes pop ope
n when I feel him slip off of me and then lift me into his arms. I tuck my head into his neck as he heads up the stairs. I open my eyes when I feel him lay me down on something soft and I look around to realize that we’re in his room. I haven’t been in here since the first night I was here and he gave me a tour. I don’t have time to look around before he’s pulling his shirt off over his head and his pants down and laying down next to me. I stare at the tent in the front of his boxers as he settles down next to me and wraps his arm around my waist to pull me into him.

  “We don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to, Sunshine.” He says before he kisses me.

  “I want you.” I tell him as I look up into his brown eyes.

  “I want you too, Poppy. More than anything.”

  “I’ve never done anything like this before.”

  “I’ll take care of you, Sunshine. Always.”

  His lips find mine in a sweet kiss before he starts to make his way down my body again. This time he kisses between my breasts and down my stomach to the edge of my pants. His fingers wrap around the band of my pants and he slowly tugs them and my panties down my legs. He sits up between my legs as he pulls them off me and tosses them over the side of the bed. I try to pull my legs together, embarrassed to be so exposed but Asher is sitting between my legs and stops my movements as soon as I try to cover myself.

  “Let me look at you, Sunshine.”

  The look in his eyes as he stares down at me goes a long way in helping me feel comfortable. His eyes devour and heat as he looks down at me as I’m spread out in front of him. I can feel myself grow wetter as he continues to look me over and soon, I can’t take it anymore.

  “Touch me, Asher. Please.” I beg and his eyes snap up to mine.

  “I’ve never seen anything so perfect.” He says. “And I’ve never heard anything better than you begging for me, Poppy.”

  He comes down over me again and places a quick kiss on my lips before he lays down between my legs and settles his mouth over my pussy. I’ve never had anyone touch me there before, yet alone kiss me there. I couldn’t have imagined how good it would feel. He spears his tongue between my lips and gives me long slow licks from my pussy up and around my clit. He circles my little nub until my legs are locked around his head and my fingers are wrapped so tight in his hair. I’m hovering on the edge of my second climax.

  “Give it to me, Sunshine. Cum on my face and soften this perfect cunt up for me. I need to have you nice and wet before I try to work my cock in here.”

  He wraps his lips around my nub and flick his tongue back and forth fast. The action mixed with his dirty words sends me over the edge and I scream his name and my pleasure into the room as I hold his head to me. I come down from my orgasm and release Asher’s hair as he starts to kiss his way back up my body. He fits his lips over mine and gives me a sweet slow kiss, letting me taste myself on his tongue.

  I realize that at some point he kicked his boxers off when I feel the tip of his cock nudge against my entrance. I spread my legs wider as he rubs the head of his cock up and down, using my cream to lube himself up. He looks up at me as he starts to slowly push into me. I groan as I feel him fit the head of his cock just inside of me. He groans with me as he closes his eyes like he’s in pain.

  “Fuck, Poppy. You feel so fucking good, Sunshine. I’m going to pop your cherry fast, ok? I don’t want to prolong the pain.”

  He pulls his hips back before thrusting into me to the root. He rests his forehead against mine and just breathes as I try to adjust to his size. We stay like that for several heartbeats until I try to flex my hips. I want him to move and as soon as I feel him drag his cock out of my tight channel, I can’t help but moan. He feels incredible inside of me. Stretching my virgin pussy with his big cock, rubbing against my clit and hitting every nerve ending to give me the most pleasure possible. It doesn’t take long before I’m on my third orgasm of the night.

  “Fuck, Poppy. I can feel this tight little pussy strangling my cock. You going to cum all over me baby? I want to feel it drip down my cock and coat my balls.”

  I can’t hold back any longer and cum, giving Asher exactly what he wants and creaming all over his cock. I scream his name over and over until I’m afraid that I’m going to lose my voice. I hear Asher shout and then feel his warm release as he finishes inside me.

  Three orgasms are apparently too much for me because moments after we finish my eyelids droop and I feel myself drift off. The last thing I remember before I pass out is Asher cuddling me closer and kissing my forehead.

  Chapter Ten

  Asher

  Poppy passes out after the third orgasm and I smile to myself as I tuck her into my side. That was incredible. Easily the best sex of my life but I think the fact that it was with Poppy was what made it truly incredible.

  We didn’t use protection and that thought should scare a commitment phobe like me, but the thought of Poppy round with our child doesn’t scare me. If anything, it just turns me on more. I’ve never wanted a wife or a family but ever since I met Poppy, my priorities have started to change. I know that I’ve only known Poppy a few weeks but I can’t imagine my life without her now. These last few weeks have made me realize how much I want and need her and last night sealed her fate. She’s mine now. I’m going to breed her and tie her to me. She might already be bred and growing my child as we lay here.

  I pull her into me further and she nuzzles into me in her sleep. I think about waking up like this every morning for the rest of my life and I can’t stop the smile from splitting my face. I nuzzle my head into her hair before I start to kiss down her neck. She starts to stir as I pull the blankets back and continue my descent down her body. She moans as I spread her legs and settle between them. She looks a little swollen from last night but I can already see moisture start to leak out as my breath fans over her sweet pussy.

  She shifts restlessly as I continue to just breathe her in. Finally, when the tension is too much, I lean forward and place my mouth over her lips. I start to kiss her pussy like I would kiss her mouth. I give her long slow licks before I trail my tongue down to her opening and plunge my tongue as far as I can into her. I fuck her with my tongue until she’s moaning and gasping for breath. I feel her legs tense on either side of her head as she sucks in a breath. A second later she lets it out as she screams my name. My cock is so hard from drinking down her taste but hearing her scream my name over and over again almost has me coming all over myself. I don’t want to waste it though. I want to cum inside her.

  As her orgasm fades, I give her one last kiss before I move up to my knees and grip the base of my dick with one hand. I look down at her as I guide my cock to her opening. I ease my way into her, not wanting to hurt her if she’s sore from last night. The orgasm she just had seems to have lubed her up enough though because as I bury myself inside her she just moans.

  I thrust in and out of her slowly, making love to her as the sun streams in through the curtains. I try to hold off my orgasm but the feel of her snug pussy wrapped around me is too good and I start to cum. I quickly reach down and start to play with her clit, wanting her to go off with me. It doesn’t take much before she’s coming with me. I roll her over so she’s spread out on top of me as we try to catch our breath. I leave my cock in her, wanting to keep as much of my seed in her as possible.

  I’m desperate to tie her to me. I know that I’m going to need to leave to go to the jeweler and get her a ring. If it’s up to me, she’ll have a ring on her hand and a baby in her belly before the end of the day.

  We cuddle together like that for a few minutes before we get up and I carry her into the bathroom and straight into the shower. I wash her hair and then her body before I wash my own. I grab a towel and dry her hair and body off before I pick her back up and carry her into our bedroom. I place her gently on the bed before I tuck the covers back up around her.

  “Why don’t you get some more rest, Sunshine.”

  “What are you goi
ng to do?”

  “I just need to run a few errands this morning. I’ll stop and grab something for us to eat for lunch on my way home.”

  “I can go with you, if you want.” She offers sweetly but I want it to be a surprise.

  “No, Sunshine. I’ll be quick. You get some more rest.”

  I kiss her one last time before I head into the closet to get dressed. I’m out the door in minutes and I have my driver take me to the best jeweler in the city. I walk in and am immediately greeted by three employees. They know who I am and how much I’m worth so I don’t need to say anything to get them to take me to the back room to browse in private. They offer me coffee and champagne and within minutes I’m sipping an americano as tray after tray of rings are brought in for me to look at. I spot the one almost instantly. An emerald cut canary yellow diamond in a platinum band. It’s probably ten carats and the way it shines as the light hits it reminds me of my sunshine.

  “That one. That’s the one.” I say and they trip over themselves to get it boxed and bagged for me. I hand them my credit card as they hand me the bag and within minutes, I’m walking back out the door. I swing by our favorite bakery on the way home and order all of Poppy’s favorites. I can’t wait to see her face when she sees the ring and I really can’t wait to see my ring on her finger.

  I unlock the front door and take the stairs two at a time back up to our bedroom. I balance the bakery box as I open the bedroom door and creep in to see Poppy sound asleep. She looks so peaceful with her hair spread out on the pillow and the blanket pooled around her shoulders. I brush a loose piece of her hair away from her face and her eyes slowly blink open. She smiles as soon as her eyes find me and I can’t stop the smile from spreading across my face too.
