TWENTY-FIVE
Brandon
“Keep your eyes closed, kitten,” I instructed as I carefully led her up a set of stairs.
Carly mock pouted but she couldn’t hold the expression and a sly smile slid onto her face. “Will you punish me if I don’t?”
I was immediately hard, remembering the last time she’d disobeyed me. My naughty little kitty cat seemed to rustle up trouble on purpose from time to time. Apparently, my punishments were not a deterrent. I couldn’t disagree with that line of thinking because it led to so much pleasure. Just picturing her pretty pink ass, her rosy lips wrapped around my cock, and the sight of her lost in ecstasy as I held her on the precipice of orgasm had me tempted to turn around and take her right back to the bed we’d barely left an hour before.
But, I focused on my purpose for being at our location. I couldn’t wait to see her expression at my surprise. My girl deserved a break and a reward after working so hard lately.
I’d always known Carly had a good head on her shoulders, but in the last several weeks, she’d blown me away. I didn’t think it was possible to be more impressed. Her instincts for business were excellent and it didn’t take long for her to lay out a plan, one that would be very lucrative, and begin to implement it.
She also sold off her father’s personal assets, having no desire to ever be reminded of her life with him. We decided to move out of our apartment and find a home where our family could grow. Since I owned the building, we offered the place to Thomas when we eventually moved out.
One night, as we lay in bed talking quietly, Carly described the kind of life she dreamed of for our children. The childhood she wished she’d experienced, a happy home with loving parents, and laughter. The beautiful sounds of laughter and joy. She even gave me a vague picture of the kind of house she wanted. It gave me an idea, and I was on the phone with Nic the next morning. I turned my idea into a reality, one I was excited to share with Carly.
I opened the door at the top of the steps and swooped her up into my embrace. She yelped in surprise before it morphed into giggles.
“Open your eyes, kitten,” I whispered.
The moment her dark red lashes no longer shielded her emerald green pools, I carried her over the threshold.
“What are you—” Carly stopped suddenly, her gaze sweeping over the beautiful interior of a restored brick townhouse. Her mouth opened into a cute little O as awe dawned on her face. “Why are we here?” Her voice trembled and I prayed it was hope causing the tremor.
“Welcome home, kitten.”
Her smile was blinding, but I couldn’t look away, staring directly into the sun. “Are you serious?” She threw her arms around me and planted a kiss on my lips. Before I could deepen it, she was wiggling to get down.
“Hey now,” I grumbled. I set her on her feet, but kept her in the circle of my arms. “That wasn’t a proper thank you.”
She laughed and her next kiss was passionate and had me on the edge of simply dropping to the floor and fucking her right there in the entry of our new home.
She tore her lips away and moved her lips to my ear, purring, “Later, I’ll thank the fuck out of you.” I gasped when her hand squeezed my erection through my jeans. “Literally.”
I growled and made a grab for her as she danced out of my embrace. Her smile was infectious and I took her on a tour of the four-story brownstone, enjoying her exclamations of delight. The master suite was on the second floor and boasted a large bay window, complete with a seat and bookshelves on either side. She rushed over and took in the view while I waited patiently for the rest of my surprise to register.
I knew it had hit her when her hands flew up to cover her mouth and she turned to me, tears leaking from her beautiful eyes. She suddenly rushed me, and I barely managed to keep us upright as she jumped into my arms, wrapping her arms and legs around me.
“We’re two doors down from Nic and Anna!” she squealed. “I love this neighborhood!”
Clearly, I’d chosen right and I was willing to admit, my chest might have puffed up a little in pride. Grasping the back of her neck with one hand, I left the other firmly on her ass, supporting her. “I know, kitten. Now you can have everything you dreamed of.” Then I gently brought her face forward and crushed my mouth over hers.
“I love it, Bran. It’s perfect,” she mumbled against my lips. She deepened the kiss and my control snapped. I spun around and walked to the nearest wall, pressing her back into it. My rock hard dick ground into her center as I ravished her mouth, a deep groan rumbling from my chest.
