Chapter 78 So Proud
Richard's POV
I pulled my little dancer out into the cold and curse myself before I pull off my jacket and put it around her. "Baby, we gotta get you a coat!" I smile down at her, then pulled her closer to me as I drag her down the street to where I parked my car.
I don't ever remember being this excited in my life! I was taking my fiance on a date! And she isn't one of those sluts Dad sends my way. I don't even know why he does it. It's been getting worse the last few weeks though. Sometimes they'll just show up at my office with no clothes on! Seriously! What the hell is wrong with my old man?
But it doesn't matter! Now I have made my choice, and no one on earth or hell is going to tear me apart from her. I really hope she picks a date before the weekend! I want her to be my wife! I want to show her everything she deserves, and I don't know if she will let me until we're married.
"Why did you park down here?" Josie asks, eyes landing on my car at the end of the block. I probably should be embarrassed, but I'm not. I told her she was mine before, and maybe now she'll realize exactly what I meant.
I smirk down at those sparkling hazel eyes, "I might have been stalking you since last night and didn't want James to see me if I was parked in the flower shop parking lot," I shrug. "Of course I lost you when I left after my fight with my dad and I didn't see you until you got home around 3 this morning. It was good you finally showed up or I would've gone to file a missing persons report!" I grunt.
"You were stalking me?" she gasps with a little chuckle. "How the hell did I not notice?" She teases.
"You have no idea, Josie. I was worried about you when I couldn't find you last night. And when I saw James approach you this morning I wanted to strangle him. But I was so damn proud of you for taking care of it!" I smile, just remember her going off on the jackass. "Well, guess what James? I REGRET IT! I regret ever giving you a second chance. I regret trusting you with my heart. I regret thinking you were mature enough to change! I regret every damn thing!" Those words were music to my ears.
"You were?" she blushes, and I can't take it. "I was so pissed off, I probably made a scene in Hailey's shop. I really should be embarrassed by my outburst, but I'm not. Not really! He came in and pretended there was nothing wrong. But I just couldn't keep my mouth shut for one more minute!" she admits, leaning deeper into my warmth.
I stop and pull her right up to my body. "Yes Josie. I was so proud you finally found it in you to make choices for you and not for someone else." I cup her face in my hands and see that blush creep across her cold flesh. Her eyes can't hide the anticipation. Nor can the breath catching in her chest. I can feel her pulse under her skin.
Something low in my belly unfurls, and I suddenly want to pounce on my little ballerina. I want to devour her in front of the whole world. My heart picks up and my desire for this perfect woman amplifies a hundred fold.
And then I kissed her. It's not slow and sweet and controlled. This one is all consuming and demanding. I sweep my tongue into her mouth, dominating hers. She responds with equal passion, pulling me down, wrapping her arms around my neck while pressing up on her little toes.
I wrap my arms around her hips, securing her body to mine, pressing her up against my aching shaft. Soon. Soon I will be joined with my little dancer in every way a man and woman can be joined. The thought of it has my pulse racing. My little dancer has been waiting her whole life... And soon, she'll be all mine.
