“Well, I’m not sure about tomorrow.” Jane spoke into the phone, her voice hesitant. “Yeah, that does sound like fun.” She giggled. “I’ll see what I can do.” She stopped speaking and put the phone in her lap.
“What was that about?” I frowned slightly as I made a right turn. I’d been driving us a lot lately as I didn’t love taking public transportation and I didn’t feel like the ride share services were particularly safe after one of the drivers had kept harassing Jane for her phone number and a date.
“Oh, Olivia, Millie and Birdie want to go on a weekend trip to Napa.” She grinned. “They want me and Magnolia to come, but they want to go tomorrow and it’s such short notice.” She wrinkled her nose. “So I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it.”
“You won’t be making it.” My lips thinned. “Call them back and let them know.”
“Excuse me, Tate?” She frowned as she stared at me and gave me a small smile. “What did you say?”
“You heard me.” I raised an eyebrow and stopped at the lights. “You’re not going away for the weekend with the girls from the office. I said no.”
“You can’t say no.” She jutted her chin out. “And anyways why not?”
“All those girls want to do is get drunk and laid. I’m not having you out there flirting with random guys in Napa, while I’m here in San Francisco. No way, Jose.”
“Tate, that’s so offensive. They aren’t always looking to get laid and if Magnolia also goes, then she won’t be looking to get laid either.” She rolled her eyes at me. “Or do you think Magnolia is going to cheat on Jagger.”
“I don’t know.” I said obstinately. “I just know you’re not going.”
“You can’t tell me what to do, Tate, you don’t own me.”
“Hmm.” I looked away from her and concentrated on driving. I could tell from the tension in the air that Jane was mad at me and getting ready to start an argument. All I wanted to do was grab her head and pull her towards me for a kiss and then touch her legs. Even better would be if she unzipped me and have me head. Fuck! I’d love to come in those lips of hers and watch her swallow. Then she’d really know who was boss. I knew better than to suggest that though. She’d slap me faster than I could say, “blow job,” if I even brought up the words.
“You can just take me home right now if you think I’m going to let you tell me what I can and can’t do.”
“Jane.” I growled as I looked over at her. “The only place we’re going right now is to dinner with Jagger and Magnolia and then we’re going back to my apartment.”
“I don’t want to.” She glared at me. “You think you can just tell me what to do and I’m going to be okay with it? I think not.”
“I want you to move in with me.” I said suddenly as I pulled into a parking spot and then looked over to see the surprise in her eyes. I grinned as I reached over to touch her lips. “Are you really that surprised that I want you to move in?”
She stared at me with wide eyes and I could see her starting to frown. My heart started racing at her look. Did she not want to move in with me?
“Is there something wrong?” My voice was harsher than I’d intended. “Do you not want to be with me?” All of a sudden the box in my back pocket felt like it weighed a ton.
“Of course I want to be with you silly.” She bit down on her lower lip and sighed.
“But?” I prodded her and reached over for her hands. “What is it Jane?”
“I don’t want to move into your apartment.” She looked into her lap and my heart stopped. “I want us to get our own place.”
“Oh thank God for that.” I let out a huge breath. “I thought you didn’t want to live with me period.”
“I think it will be nice living with you.” She grinned and I unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her towards me and into my arms and kissed her.
“Good because there’s nothing else I want more.” Which was a bit of a lie. I wanted her to accept my proposal later that night and I wanted to fuck her, right here in the car.
“Are you sure about that?” She giggled, her brown eyes teasing me as she caressed my hard cock through my jeans. I groaned as she lightly pressed down on my tip and then ran her fingers along the shaft through the denim.
“Don’t tease me, Jane because I will fuck you right now and then we’ll be late for dinner.”
“Maybe I want to be late for dinner.” She leaned into kiss me again and my tongue slid into her mouth. Her body responded eagerly and she pressed herself against me.
“We should look for a place tomorrow.” I played with her hair as I pulled back from the kiss. “And figure out moving furniture.”
“I don’t want you to take your bed.” She blushed.
“Why? Are you jealous?” I grinned at her. It was true that I’d had many woman in my past, but since I’d met Jane, there had been no one else. “Too many notches?”
“That’s not funny.” She glared at me. “Would you like me to bring my bed that I’d fucked hundreds of men in?”
“Well,” My eyes narrowed at her. “Seeing as I’m your first and only lover, I’m not too worried about it.” I ran my finger down her cheek. “But if there had been overs, I would have burned that bed down weeks ago.”
“Tate.” She shook her head and smiled. “Whatever.”
“But fine. You can furnish our house out with whatever you want.” I stroked her cheek. “I don’t care about any of my furniture.”
“House or apartment?” Jane smiled sweetly.
“I think we should get a house.” I said. “With enough rooms for us and any guests we have, your parents, Marco, my sisters, friends, kids…”
“Kids?” She froze. “What?”
“I’d like us to have kids.” I kissed her hard. “Am I being too forward?”
“Well we’ve already had sex. So I guess that’s not forward.” She smiled. “But we never really spoke about kids or stuff.” She blushed.
“Don’t you want little Tate’s and Jane’s running around?”
“I’m not sure if I can deal with little Tate’s?” She grinned. “I can barely deal with big Tate’s.”
“Well big Tate likes the way you deal with him very well.” I nodded towards my crotch and she groaned as I started laughing. “I love you, Jane.” I kissed her again. “I love you so much. And I don’t mean that we need to have kids now. I just mean that I would like to have kids soon.” I ran my hands over her breasts. “I want to feel myself inside of you knowing that when I make love to you we’re also making another life. I want to come inside of you for a reason.”
“Tate,” She squeezed my hand. “I love you too.” She kissed the side of my face, her eyes gazing at me with pure light and love. “I can’t believe I’ve been so lucky as to meet someone as special as you.”
“I’m the lucky one.” I said and then groaned as I looked at the time on the dashboard. “Ugh, we have to get to the restaurant, Magnolia and Jagger will be wondering where we are. We’re a few minutes late.”
“We can be a little late, can’t we?” Jane winked at me and unzipped my pants, reaching her hand in and pulling my cock out. “I think we have time for a little fun.” She leaned down and took me in her mouth and I groaned as I say back. Her tongue ran down my shaft and licked the slit in the tip of my cock before sucking on me like she would a lollipop.
“Jane.” I grabbed the top of her head and shuddered as she stared up at me with innocent eyes as she continued to bob her head. “We shouldn’t.”
“But you want to.” She paused and stared up at me. “I can stop if you want.”
“Don’t stop.” I shook my head. I needed to feel her lips on my cock again. “Please.”
“Can I go this weekend?”
“What?” I frowned as I blinked down at her.
“With the girls to Napa? Are you going to be okay if I go?”
“Jane.” I groaned. “Really?”
“Don’t you trust me, Tate?”
“I trust you.” I nodded. “Fine. You can go. Spend your weekend without me.” I was annoyed that she’d chosen this moment to persuade me to let her go, but I knew she was using her feminine wiles. “Take me into your mouth again.” I begged her as my hand slid down her back and to her ass.
“Yes, sir.” She grinned and then dipped her head back towards my cock. She took me into her mouth and sucked me with vigor and I could feel myself growing even harder. I had to stop myself from thrusting up into her mouth. I wanted to come and I wanted her to swallow me. I wanted to be inside of her. I pulled her top up and slipped my hand down the back of her skirt and into her panties.
“Shift your position.” I adjusted her position so that she was now lying almost flat across my lap and the seat. This gave my hand better access to her and my fingers slid down under her panties and towards her wetness. Her body jerked suddenly as my fingers brushed her clit and she stilled for a few seconds as she spread her legs a bit more. I grinned at her reaction and then rubbed her faster as she took me deeper into her mouth. “Fuck, I’m going to come soon.” I grunted as she started playing with my balls at the same time. “You’re going to have to swallow.” I moaned as I felt myself about to erupt. There wasn’t going to be enough time for her to pull off of me and let me explode somewhere else. She didn’t seem to care as she sucked on my tip even harder and she continued to suck as I shuddered into her mouth. She swallowed and sucked at the same time and as my body finished its release, I pulled her up and kissed her hard. She kissed me back with passion, her hands playing with my hair and my felt expanded with love. I couldn’t believe that I was here with Jane. That she loved me. That she’d given me her heart.
“So when are you leaving tomorrow?” I asked her softly. “And when will you be back?”
“I’m not sure yet.” She shook her head. “I didn’t think you would care quite this much.” She touched my lips lightly. “I didn’t think you were this jealous.”
“I don’t want my woman flirting with other men.” I grabbed her fingers. “You’re mine.”
“I know and you’re mine.” She blushed. “You know I won’t do anything with another guy.”
“I don’t want you dancing with another guy. Rubbing up your ass on his cock, getting him hard.” I growled. “I know those girls, they will encourage you to dance and have fun.”
“They can’t make me bump and grind with another guy.” She shook her head and laughed. “We’re going to some wineries to try some wine and then just have a girl’s weekend. We’re not going to meet men.”
“Olivia, Millie and Birdie always seem to want to meet men. That’s all they ever talk about.” I frowned. “I thought we’d spend the weekend together. I didn’t think you’d spend the weekend with your friends away from me.”
“We’ve spent every weekend together since South Carolina, Tate. I think you’ll be okay not being with me for a weekend.” She laughed. “You might find you like it.”
“I like to spend my weekends with you.” I played with her hair. “I like waking up to you in my arms.” I kissed her again. “And the weekends are the only mornings I’m guaranteed that’s going to happen seeing as you don’t spend all your week nights with me.”
“I don’t want the girls to think I’m fucking the boss.”
“They know you’re fucking the boss.” I grinned.
“But I don’t want to show up to work with you every day.” She shrugged. “I know it’s silly, but it helps to have some independence and I feel like it makes them respect me more.”
“Magnolia moved in with Jagger right away.” I pouted. “I want you to live with me.”
“And I will. Once we find a place.” She cocked her head to the side. “That we can both afford.”
“What?” My jaw dropped. “What does that mean?”
“I want to pay half the rent. I don’t want to feel like you’re paying everything.”
“Jane, I pay your salary.” I laughed. “I know what you can afford to pay in rent. We’re not going to find a house I like if we’re splitting the costs. Plus, we’re not going to rent, we’re going to buy.”
“Tate.” Her eyes widened. “I can’t afford to buy anything.”
“I’m buying the house for you, as a gift.”
“Tate, no.” She shook her head and sighed. “We can talk about this later because we need to head into the restaurant, but you’re not buying me a house. I can’t accept that.”
“Jane,” I grabbed her hands and squeezed. “Stop being so hardheaded.” I pressed my lips against hers and pulled back. “Come on, we need to get out of this car now or we’ll end up making love here and completely missing dinner.”
“We can’t do that.” Jane laughed. “Magnolia has some exciting news she wants to share with us.”
“What news?” I asked her curiously. “Is she pregnant?”
“I don’t know.” Jane shook her head. “I don’t think so. I don’t know if they’re ready to have kids yet.”
“I’m ready whenever you are.” I said as I stared at her. “I want to see your belly growing with my baby inside of you.”
“Tate.” She blushed and shook her head. “We haven’t even moved in together yet, it’s too soon to think about kids.”
“I love you, Jane. And I will wait until you’re ready.” I stared into her eyes and smiled. “I will wait forever for you.” And as I stared at her I knew just how real the words were. I wanted to spend my life with her. I wanted to spend every day looking after her. I wanted to wake up with her in my arms. I wanted our kids to run into our room and jump on the bed and collapse into fits of giggles as we tickled them. I wanted long nights walking on moonlit beaches, listening to the ocean waves crash against the rocks as I kissed her. I wanted to hold her hand tight and press it against my heart so that she could feel my heart beating only for her. I loved this woman. More than I ever would have believed was possible. I loved her more than words could say and as she gazed back at me, I knew she loved me too. I knew that she’d been confused that I’d tried to put my foot down at her going away for the weekend, but it wasn’t just because she was going with the girls from the office. I knew she wouldn’t do anything with another guy. It was because I wanted to spend the weekend with her. I wanted us to celebrate being engaged because tonight I was going to propose. Tonight I was going to ask her to be mine forever. As I stared at her, I could see our future together. She was all I’d ever wanted, everything I could have needed and she was mine. She was mine for an eternity. I would give my life for her if I had to. I would go to the ends of the earth for her. I stared at her and in that moment I knew that this woman had been made for me. As I had been made for her. There was nothing I couldn’t do with her by my side and I was going to make sure that there was nothing she would ever want for, no matter how big or small. I would always be there to love, support and protect her. She was the greatest thing to ever happen in my life.
“I love you, Jane.” I kissed the tip of her nose. “I love you.” And with that, we got out of the car and closer to the moment I would officially ask her to be mine forever.
