Saving Stella (9 page)

Brayden’s warm arms wrapped
around me, pulling me into his side.

“Sleep baby. I'll keep you safe.”

And I did.

Brayden

There was no better feeling than
holding a sated Stella in my arms. After her second orgasm her body went limp.
I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been with a guy at all. She was so tight with just two
of my fingers inside her, and then when her inner walls started clenching with
her orgasm I thought she was going to break my fingers.

I hadn’t planned for things to go
that far. I was meant to be taking it slow. I suppose this was slow for me, I
didn’t do foreplay. Wham bam thank you ma’am was more my thing. On the odd
occasion I did get the urge to go down on a chic it was solely for my benefit.
Not tonight though. All of this was new to me, first time I went down town
because I knew she wanted it, needed it. First time I’ve cuddled a chic, first
time I’ve slept with a chic, first time I’ve been surprised by a chic.

I didn’t expect her to take her
top off because I was obviously going to slow for her. And those tits! Fucking
perfect. And her nipples are pierced, damn, that blew my mind. My little
innocent Stella did have a bit of spunk hiding under that shy exterior. It was
HOT.

I didn’t think I could want her
more then I saw those little green jewels shining on either side of her
nipples, I died and went to heaven.

I pulled her naked body more
snuggly against my bare chest, relishing the feel of her curves melding around
my hard body. I was still painfully hard but I didn’t care about my needs,
Stella was satisfied. That was enough for me right now.

Six weeks later……

Id pretty much moved into
Stella’s apartment. My place was big and she wasn’t comfortable there yet. I
didn’t mind. Whatever she needed was fine with me. We still hadn’t had sex, but
surprisingly I didn’t mind that either. Stella took care of me in other ways.

Stella was slowly coming out of
her shell, a little more every day. She was regaining her confidence and it was
something to watch. She was no longer jumpy or skittish. Stella was becoming
the woman she was always meant to be.

I was so proud of her. She was
facing her demons. They weren’t holding her back anymore. And I was part of it.

She had filled a hole in me that
I never knew was there until I met her. Stella was everything I could ever
want. She loved me, all of me. Even my faults, she didn’t mind that I smoked,
or that I liked to hang at the bar with my workers to knock a few back at the
end of a big day.

I was surprised by the changes I
saw in myself. Id stopped cursing so much, she was a lady and I was going to
treat her like one. Not like the skanks I used to tag and bag. I was now home
every night to have dinner with my baby. By home I mean Stella’s apartment. It
was nice having someone to come home to. I even liked that little rat she
called a dog, Fergus. And he was coming around to me too.

Happy was not a feeling I was
used to. Before Stella, I was content with my life but not happy. I went
through the motions each and every day. I was successful; I had cars, money and
a few good friends. But my heart was empty. I was alone.

The way things fell into place
with Stella just reaffirmed that we were meant to be. We fit. All these years
id been waiting for her, and I didn’t even know it. Now that I had her, nothing
would take her away from me. She was mine to love and protect, I’ll be damned
if I fail her.

I’ve failed before, but never
again.

Stella

I wasn’t happy. I was euphoric. I
didn’t think I would ever find love, trust or companionship. But here I was; I
had it all and more. Brayden came into my life so suddenly. He knocked me off
my feet. In all my wildest dreams I hadn’t seen someone as amazing as him. He
filled every vacant part of my soul.

There are no words to explain how
it feels to have your world turned upside down so completely. I finally felt
alive. When I woke up, he was there, holding me close. I didn’t have nightmares
anymore, as long as I was in his arms, the nightmares stayed away. After that
first night over a month ago, he had stayed every other.
 

I couldn’t imagine my life
without him in it. Brayden had saved me from myself. I didn’t like the person I
had become. I was a scared little girl in a woman’s body. But no more, and
never again. Because of Brayden I now had a life, and I had a lot of living to
catch up on, starting tonight.

Brayden

I had a shit day at work I
couldn’t wait to get home to Stella. But when I walked in the door I didn’t see
her. I called out for her and she called back that she was in the room.

I shucked my jacket off n threw
it over the back of the couch on my way past. When I got to the entrance of our
bedroom I felt my jaw drop and my mouth went dry. Stella was lying on the bed,
in this tiny little sheer black baby doll thing. I didn’t know what it was
called but it was hot. She was even wearing a matching thong.

My dick leapt to attention. She
tilted her head to the side; she knew what that did to me. My little Stella had
turned into a vixen. She pointed one of her delicate fingers at me, and then
curled it over summoning me.

I was there in a flash, on my
knees beside the bed waiting for her next command. I always knew this girl
would bring me to my knees. She crawled over to the edge on all fours. My mouth
had gone from dry to watering in seconds, watching that ass sway from side to
side. Damn.

“Take off your clothes Brayden.”

I ripped my clothes off in record
time. I stood in front of her, cock standing proud pointing at the ceiling. She
licked her lips before taking my knob into her mouth. My legs started to shake.
Her hands came up around by backside gripping my ass. I was about to lose it. I
threw my head back, gritting my teeth in an attempt to hold back as she took my
whole length into her mouth. My knob hit the back of her throat.

She brought me right to the edge
of oblivion with her mouth then released me with a loud pop. My eyes bugged
open, what the fuck? I looked down at her; she was shimmying back into the
middle of the bed. She called me to her with her finger again, and who was I to
deny her.

I was a little too enthusiastic,
my body slammed into hers with a thud. I was worried id hurt her, but the sound
of her laughter dispelled that thought.

“A bit eager there, big boy?”

“I thought I was playing it cool,
no?”

She continued to laugh. I loved
that sound.

“I’m ready Brayden.”

I knew what that meant, and God
did I want it. But I was afraid, not of finally getting to make love to Stella,
I was afraid I wouldn’t last. I wanted her first time to be special. I wanted
to make love to her for hours. That wasn’t going to happen tonight though.

“Condom?”

She presented me with one from
under the pillow. I wondered how long my little vixen had been planning this. I
slid it on and look down at her lying beneath me.

“I love you Stella. You’re my
forever babe. Forever.”

I groaned as I slid inside her
tight heat. I felt her barrier; I’d never taken anyone’s virginity before. I
knew that there would be some pain involved for her, and I really didn’t want
to hurt her. But there was no going back now.

“I’m sorry baby. Just say the
word and I’ll stop.”

“It’s okay, I’m okay. Please
Bray, don’t stop.”

I flexed my hips and felt the
barrier break. I was balls deep. For a moment Stella froze beneath me, but then
she started moving. I almost blew my load then and there. She was so tight. She
lifted her lips to mine, slid her fingers into my hair and made love to my
mouth with hers. We were completely connected.

Our bodies moved in sync. She was
wrapped around me so tightly I was fighting back the urge to blow. I wanted her
to cum with me. My hips began moving faster, more franticly. Stella threw her
head back moaning and groaning out my name. She was close, I dropped my head to
her breasts drawing her nipple into my mouth I bit down hard then sucked gently
to sooth it. Stella exploded. She was squeezing me so tight my release came
right along with hers.

We lay there together drenched in
sweat. Our breaths mingled as we stared into each other’s eyes. As our
breathing slowed she reached her hand up to my cheek.

“I love you Brayden Brooks. You
saved me. You saved my soul. I was lost, but you found me, you brought me back
to myself. You’re my forever. I love you.”

Nothing would top that, ever.
Except maybe Stella carrying my baby. Don’t know where that thought came from,
but I liked it, a lot.

She leaned forward and kissed my
nose before snuggling into my arms, melding her curves to me. A few moments
later she was soundly sleeping. I kissed her head, and followed her into a deep
dreamless sleep.

Acknowledgments

I’m not entirely sure where to begin, this has been quite a
process for me and without the support of a few special people this book would
never have come to life. My first big thanks should probably go to my patient
husband. He very rarely complained about the less than perfect appearance of
our home, and the mountain of folding that practically lived on our couch.

My two best friends
Chrissy
and
Bianca, without your support Stella’s story would never have been told.
Watching you two pursue your goals inspired me to do the same.
Chrissy
, you showed me I could be so much more than an
under qualified domestic goddess and mummy. And Bianca, you showed me that we
can change our course at any time in life. You both gave me courage to believe
in myself and my imagination.

My big sister Rachael, you believed in me. That was enough
for me to at least try. Your faith in me boosted my confidence so
much,
you’ll never know how much it means to me to have your
love and support.

I should also thank my three gorgeous children for behaving
so well when mummy was lost in another world. I know they could have gotten
into so much more mischief than they did.

There are also countless Facebook pages that helped me on my
way. They spread word of my birth as an author and helped my fan base grow.
Just to name a few; My Fictional Boyfriend and Book Whore Page, Dirty Books and
Dirty Boys,
Rockstars
of Romance, Dirty Honest Book
Whore, Give Me Books, The Book Nuts the list goes on and on.

Finally a huge thank you to you, without your support as a
reader I would never have become a published author. Follow my journey as a

Sloan’s Surrender

Excerpt from Sloan’s Surrender…

Sloan

Stella and Bray had been together for five months now, and
don’t get me wrong I’m incredibly happy for them. It’s such a relief to see her
getting back to her old self. But all the lovey
dovey
shit is getting to me.

It’s not that I want it for myself, I don’t, honestly who
has time for all that? Bray treats Stella like a freaking princess. It’s kinda
cute really. He takes lunch to her office like three times a week, like they
don’t see each other enough? They live together for God’s sake.

I suppose it’s sweet that they want to spend all their time
together. They really are in love. In love, I sometimes wonder what that would
be like. I don’t think I’m the kind of person who will find it. I’m pretty sure
you need a heart to fall in love. And mine died a long time ago.

Dexter

I can’t believe I just did that. I’ve thought about telling
my old man where he could shove his money for the longest time. To actually do
it, God I feel weightless, like nothing can hold me down, I could fly if I had
wings. I can start living the life I want. Not that I’m really sure what that
is anymore, but it’s time to find out I guess.

Brayden

I thought my life was as good as it was going to get. But
then I met Stella, she blew all my expectations out of the water. I never
imagined I would be this happy, this complete. Life is good. Fuck it, life is
great!

Stella

I’m finding missing pieces of myself every day, a little bit
more of the women I was supposed to be comes to life. I was lost; my soul had been
pitched into darkness and fear. Then my guardian angel stepped in and threw
Brayden into my path. I want her to have the happiness she helped me find. I
have to find a way to repay Sloan for what she has given me.
