“Thank you,” I said, before settling back in my seat. “I needed to hear you say that, but it doesn’t change the fact that you let your anger control you. That can’t happen again,” I said, as I stared at him.
“I know,” he began, as he nodded in agreement. “I was stupid. I don’t know why I act that way. Something about you makes me lose control. I know that’s not a good excuse, but it’s the truth.”
“You can’t blame me for the way you act,” I argued. “What we have is intense, but you have to figure out how to handle your feelings.”
“I promise,” Chase began, as he reached for my hand. “I’ll work every day to make you proud. Just have faith in me,” he finished, as he squeezed my hand.
Squeezing back, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. As much as I wanted to be angry with Chase and give him the cold shoulder, I just couldn’t. He knew it, too.
Looking at me, a smile spread across Chase’s chiseled face.
“So, what surprises do you have in store today?” I asked, trying to make light of our situation.
Relaxing, Chase placed the car into gear. “We’re going to the Venetian’s Grand Canal Shops,” he began. “I owe you a romantic evening without any fighting,” he teased.
“Chase, I’ve told you before. You don’t have to buy my love. Just going to the canyon with you would be perfect. Or staying in bed and watching movies,” I added.
Shaking his head, Chase kept his eyes on the road. “When is the last time you went shopping?” he asked.
I couldn’t think of a time when I went shopping for fun. As a kid and teenager, my mom always had a say in what I wore. Then, when I left home, I didn’t have the money to buy the things I wanted. Sure, I picked up pieces here and there, but actually shopping? I didn’t have an answer.
My silence told him everything he needed to know. “No arguing, we’re going to shop at some of the local designer stores. Next, we’ll go to a wine and piano bar and drink until we can barely see straight. Then, we’ll take a gondola ride while I hold you in my arms. This will be the closest I can get you to Venice, Italy until you’re done with school.”
With my mouth hanging down to the floor, I didn’t know what to say. Before I could find the right words, Chase stopped the car and helped me out. As we made our way into the Canal Shops, I was blown away by the true Italian atmosphere. Chase was right; this was like how I had imagined Italy. Cobblestone streets led us to several beautiful stone bridges that arched over the canal. As we strolled along the walkway, we were serenaded by beautiful music from live musicians. I forgot I was in Las Vegas as we made our way to the shops. Everything happened in a blur as I bought several dresses and outfits at boutiques. I was treated like a queen in each place we entered and as Chase sat back and watched me enjoy trying on all the beautiful garments, I couldn’t help but feel like maybe Chase was right; I did deserve this.
Walking along the path with Chase’s arm draped over my shoulders, I felt like I was in a dream. Nothing in my life had ever prepared me for something of this magnitude. I couldn’t fight back my emotions any longer.
Noticing the tears now streaking down my face, Chase turned to me with worry in his eyes. “What’s wrong, Lizzie? Did I do something to upset you?” he asked. I hated that he always feared that he was in the wrong.
Smiling through my tears, I looked up at my amazing man. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. This is all so incredibly amazing. I just don’t feel worthy of all this,” I said, as I waved my arms around us.
Pulling me close to him, Chase grabbed my face and held it in his hands. He forced me to look at him and as his eyes drank me in, I almost shuddered from the power behind his gaze. “Listen to me, Lizzie. Don’t you dare ever think you’re not worthy of anything in this world. If anything, you’re too good to be here. I don’t know why you want to be with me, but I’ll fight until I take my dying break to make you happy.” Chase paused, as he took a deep breath. He almost looked nervous as he licked his lips before making his next statement.
“I love you, Lizzie,” Chase said, with more emotion and love laced in his words than I had ever heard spoken before.
Shots of fire blazed through me as the realization sank in that Chase, a man who I was madly in love with, loved me too. Throwing myself into his arms, I crushed my lips against his. A slight moan escaped from his lips as his hands roamed over my body. My hands ran through his hair as I pulled him closer to me with each tug, nip, and suck of my lips on his.
As our bodies collided, it was as if we were becoming one soul. I couldn’t seem to control my thoughts, actions, or emotions as Chase held me tightly against him. And, as his erection grew against my leg, I knew there wouldn’t be much longer that we could stay entangled in each other’s arms this way without us losing all control.
Parting our lips, I stared at Chase. “I love you, Chase,” I said back. “I’m not just saying that because you said it first. I’ve loved you for a while, I just didn’t know it,” I admitted, as I watched his smile grow.
“I love you so much,” Chase repeated again, as though he couldn’t stop saying the words.
I hope he never did.
We left the shops and drove out to the desert. It was quiet and peaceful as the world around us was blanketed with darkness. Chase pulled over on the side of the road, and we got out of the SUV. We walked a little while and then stood together, watching the stars.
Wrapping an arm around my shoulder, Chase hugged me next to him and together, we watched the sun finally settle in the sky. As the stars twinkled above us, Chase and I didn’t move from our spot. We stood still, admiring the sight before us and the beauty of the moment that had just transpired between us.
I felt an overwhelming sensation hit me, and I kissed him. His hands moved to pull me in closer. Our kisses were passionate and needy. This was what I lived for. This man and being alone and vulnerable with him. I felt him pulling up my dress and then throwing it somewhere behind us. Any other time, I would feel exposed and worried, but we were blanketed by blackness, and it was just the two of us in the world. Before I knew what I was doing, I was dropping to my knees. Reaching into his jeans, I tugged at the waistline and pulled his pants down to his knees. With wide eyes, Chase watched my hands as I pulled open his boxers and allowed his long, massive erection to spring into my hands. Moving forward, I took his long shaft in my hands and pumped. Looking up, my eyes locked on his. I licked my lips before I placed my mouth on the tip of his cock. As I sucked, I took more of him in my mouth, and I felt Chase grab the back of my head and move his hips toward me.
I could feel him throbbing in my mouth and knew he was about to climax. Yelling, Chase let loose in my mouth.
“Fuck. Lizzie. Too hot.”
Chase screamed out with pleasure as he moved his cock out of my mouth and squirted all over my stomach and tits. I watched him pump his white cream over my body, and I felt heated again.Anyone else doing this to me would have disgusted me, but not with Chase. Everything was different with him.
It was sometime after midnight when we finally made our way back home. A home that was becoming ours.
