A Love Deeper Than Words
ROBERT
Renee’s mouth gaped open as she stood, silently staring at me, astonished. Her dark eyes were filled with shock and dismay. It tore my heart apart. I resisted the urge to curse.
Silence descended on the room like a frigid fog. It was dense with tension-the kind that’d be difficult to break from.
This was not how I’d envisioned our evening. Not even close.
Work had been stressful, but I still wanted to spend quality time with her when she returned from her day out. I was excited to make dinner plans, walk around the cabin while she told me about her day, and then have a calm, relaxed night watching vintage movies in the chalet’s lounge. Not this!
The uncomfortable silence dragged on for far too long as I waited for her to say something-anything. I chastised myself for even telling her about the blackmail. I shouldn’t have said a word. I should’ve lied or changed the subject. When she spoke, she broke me. “No more secrets, Robert. You promised, and you keep your promise. So don’t do this now.”
She was right. I’d made a promise to her. A vow to never lie or conceal a secret. I had to keep that promise.
“Blackmail? Who?” She eventually spoke, her hurt voice twisting my insides painfully.
“So there was an incident with some guy, and the case may have escalated. I just now learned about it. Maybe the word blackmail isn’t appropriate. I’m being set up. Yeah, that’s it.” The words rolled off my tongue quickly.
“What! Oh, Robert!” Her eyes were wide with concern, brimming with tears, too.
“Fuck, Renee! Come here.” I moved quickly and pulled her close. My hands cradled her face, my thumbs softly smoothing away the tear stains on her cheeks. “I despise seeing you cry. I don’t tell you these things because it upsets you. I knew you’d worry.”
“But…”
“Shhhh.” I ran my finger across her lips. “I will fix this. Trust me.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I do. But…” She paused, her fingertips touching mine before continuing. “Could you tell me more? I heard you say something about not going back there. What were you on about?”
Goddammit!
I swallowed hard as memories flew through my brain like whiplash. Memories I’d tried so hard to repress. To forget. They were returning to me like sharp edges poking through every fiber of my existence. All the remnants of my dark past lodged within my subconscious, patiently waiting for a chance to haunt me again.
The memories hurt. They affected and scared the hell out of me, and I hated remembering. I despised reliving those horrible, bloody moments.
So, I fought back against the ache in my chest. I squeezed my eyes shut and averted my gaze briefly, not wanting Renee to see the pain and sorrow lurking behind my calm facade.
I ignored the thoughts that plagued my mind and concentrated on the lovely lady with me. On her body’s smooth, delicate curves. On the sweet, hopeful smile that always graced her angelic features.
Every dark thought I shoved into the abyss, where it belonged, and I opened my eyes. I stared into Renee’s eyes and felt some of the pain ease.
Taking a deep breath, I slapped a reassuring smile on my lips. “Don’t worry, Renee.”
“I see the pain in your eyes, Robert. I don’t like it.” Her fingertips slowly caressed my jawline. “You’re hurting inside. I can see it. I can feel it. Is there anything I can do to help?”
My God, but her words. Those damn words. The softness, gentleness, and caring tone of her voice. They cut deep. They reminded me of why I’d fallen in love with her. One of the reasons I still loved her. How could she read me like that? Like an open page with its pages turned out.
She said she saw my pain. She could feel it. She even asked if she could do anything to help, and my heart fluttered at her earnestness.
Damn, but she was so fucking sincere. Even when I didn’t deserve it. I didn’t deserve her.
“Robert…”
“Fuck, Renee!” Leaning in, capturing her lips with my own, I swore. Her shocking gasp instantly became a low moan of pleasure as our mouths melted together.
I drew her firmly against me, my tongue dueling hard against hers, and wrapped my arms protectively about her.
Her arms reached up, clutching mine in return, and I groaned into her mouth as one of her legs lifted from the ground, curling gently around my waist.
“I need you. Fuck!”
“Then take me.” She said softly against my mouth and pulled away to look at me. Panting slightly, a hint of heightened lust lingering in her beautiful dark eyes, she repeated. “Take me, Robert.”
My cock twitched. “Are you sure? You must be exhausted and…”
She abruptly cut me off by pulling me back and kissing me. “You need me, Robert, so just shut up and fuck me.”
“You’ll be the death of me!” I growled, enveloping her in my arms as I effortlessly lifted her.
I brought her over to the couch, carefully placing her lengthwise while kissing her passionately. As I lay atop her, my hips moved across hers, and her thighs parted willingly. She moaned as I slipped her sundress up, revealing her bare breasts. She was braless-fucking perfect.
She arched her back in a quiet scream as I took one breast into my lips, sucking lightly. Her nails dug into my shoulders as I toyed with her nipples, swirling them between my thumb and forefinger until they stiffened beneath my caresses.
“Rob…Robert.” She stuttered, and I smiled against her skin, knowing I had complete authority over her.
My hand slid lower, cupping her pussy in her silk underwear and stroking her folds through the fabric.
My lips left her nipples, and she protested weakly. Slowly planting kisses all over her stomach, I stopped at her belly button, nuzzling at its delicate peak. She wiggled beneath me, one hand grasping the couch, and the other fisted my hair, urging me on. Her breathing became more regular as she writhed, bucking upward and moaning loudly as I tugged at her soaked panties.
“Yes, yes. Please don’t stop.”
I kissed my way to her feminine center, nuzzling her inner thighs as I went. She cried out in delight, grinding her body against me, imploring me to give her the satisfaction she craved.
In an instant, I ripped off the panties covering her and, licking my lips hungrily, dived headfirst into her heat. Gently, I worked my way further and deeper into her wetness with my tongue, circling and exploring every inch of her channel. My teeth softly nibbled at her clit, and she cried out loud-the sound reverberating through the room.
“Come for me, baby girl.” I urged. My tongue lapped at her folds, sucking and teasing, keeping her prisoner to desire.
“Robert! Yes!” She sobbed, her hips jerking restlessly under my onslaught as she let go of my hair. “Fuck! Yes!” She screamed in delight. This time, her whole body shook violently as her climax hit.
When her shuddering breath slowed, I lifted my head and smirked triumphantly. Her cheeks were scarlet red, puffy from her release. Her strawberry blonde hair was tousled and fell over her shoulders and naked breasts. A sheen of sweat glistened on her body, her skin glowing.
“Look at how pretty you are.” My gaze roamed all over her body. “So fucking beautiful. All mine.”
I leaned forward and took her lips in mine. Kissing deeply, I ran my tongue through her mouth – tasting and savoring every delicious taste.
We kissed lazily, her tongue teasing mine. Stroking and caressing, she soon broke free and smiled coyly at me.
Her pupils were dilated. Biting her bottom lip seductively, she thrust her hips upward, grinding against my straining erection.
She batted her lashes at me. “How about I take care of this for you?”
“About that.” I quipped, and in one swift movement, I flipped her over onto her stomach, straddling her.
I grabbed a fistful of her hair and held her tight as my tongue slid down her neck, kissing her shoulders.
“You’ll definitely take care of that for me.” I whispered in her ear before adding. “Now, how would you like me to fuck you, baby girl?”
Her lips parted, and her throat bobbed, but she remained silent. She held the edge of the couch tightly with her fists, her nails sinking into the fabric.
“Answer me. How would you like me to fuck you, Renee?” I demanded as I continued to tease her neck with my lips.
She trembled beneath me. “I… Anyhow you want. Anyway, you want.”
“That’s my girl. Are you ready for me, darling?”
“Yes, I am.”
“You sure?”
“Please.” She begged.
Withdrawing momentarily, I began undoing my pants. I slid them down and took off my boxers. My hardness erupted from its confines, springing erect and already primed.
“You’re on the pill, right?”
“Mmm…”
I didn’t let her finish because I positioned myself between her legs, grabbed her hips, and plunged into her with one powerful stroke.
“Ah…” She screamed as I moved faster. Her hips moved reflexively to meet my strokes.
Raging with ecstasy, my mind and senses clouded, I pounded repeatedly into her warmth. My pace increased, and suddenly, we came together, her pleasured screams mixing with mine.
Our bodies quivered uncontrollably, and her pussy pulsed, responding to my thrusts as my orgasm shattered in the depths of her core.
Panting heavily, I collapsed onto her chest, burying my face in her neck, inhaling the enticing scent of her skin.
“God. Robert! That was…”
“Amazing? Incredible? Awesome?” I asked as I stared down at her, my eyes heavy with satisfaction.
She laughed.
“It was everything.” She declared, broad and brightly beaming as she wrapped her arms tight around me.
I returned the embrace, pushing kisses into her hair. A satisfied smile curled my lips.
This was everything. Renee was everything.
“I could get used to this.” I murmured, pulling away to look into her eyes. The brown orbs sparkled-looking almost golden-their usual color washed away by the dim lighting in the room. Arousal stained her cheeks.
“The sex?”
I shook my head. “No. I mean being here with you. Despite being exhausted from work, the thought of meeting you at home after a long day makes me happy.” I confessed. “I want this forever. I want you by my side all day, all night.”
“I want the same thing.” She replied softly. “I’m grateful you told me what’s happening. You didn’t tell me everything, but you said something, and that’s enough for me.”
“We agreed there’d be no secrets between us. I’m doing my best to uphold that promise.”
“I know, and I’m glad.” She paused. “You’re ready.”
“Ready?” I inquired, perplexed.
“Yes.” She shrugged and continued. “You’re ready to share your world with me. To be with me. To do it all.”
“But I’ve been ready ever since, Renee. There’s only one part of my life where I feel complete. Where I truly know I belong. It’s in my relationship with you. I think I’ve always been ready. From the first time I met you.” I admitted truthfully, leaning closer to kiss her cheek.
“You always say the sweetest things.” She muttered as she snuggled closer. A lovely sigh escaped her lips. “I love you. With my whole heart and soul.”
“I love you, too.” I whispered in return. “More than anything.”
