Chapter 10
“I’m sorry about everything with Mary. She seemed like a really nice girl.”
“I don’t really want to talk about it.” Henri knew he was trying to help, but it wasn’t helping. All of his family had said how much they had liked her. It was a way to show that they had been duped as well, but it didn’t make him feel any better. He would have much rather her been who she said she was, instead of just being one of many that saw her for something else.
“I understand, Henri. I just want you to know that I am here for you if you need anything.”
Henri thanked him, but his mind was back on the one person that he didn’t want to think about. His phone kept ringing in his pocket. “Are you going to answer that?”
He shook his head that he wasn’t. It was probably just Mary calling again and he didn’t want to hear it. Henri didn’t want her to feel better by apologizing because all he could feel was betrayal about it. When his brother’s phone starting ringing, Henri watched him answer as he should have.
“Hello?”
“Yeah he is here.”
“Okay. I will send him down.”
Scott off the phone and looked at his brother. “Mary is down at the ranch with mom. You need to go down there.”
Henri sighed and started out towards the house on his horse. It didn’t take but a few minutes and he was sure that Mary had made a bigger mistake coming there. Elna would not take kindly to what had happened and he was sure that there would be a tense scene when he walked in. He wasn’t expecting to see the two women laughing and talking at the table like two old friends. Not knowing what to say, he just stood there for a minute until they realized that he was standing there.
“Well about time you answered your phone.”
“Sorry about that.” He was answering his mother’s sharp tone, but his eyes were on the woman sitting next to her. Mary was still as beautiful as he remembered. There was a moment that he thought that maybe he wouldn’t feel the same way about her after the betrayal, but he knew then that it just wasn’t the case.
“Why don’t the two of you go talk for a while? Henri, take her to the pond. I bet she would like it there and it was always your favorite spot.” Elna had a look of conspiracy in her eyes that she didn’t even try to cover up.
He nodded his head, never refusing her before, but he didn’t know what to say. There was something so strange in the whole situation. “Um, okay.”
Mary seemed about as unsure as he was. She could see the way he had responded and if it wasn’t for Elna, the two of them would not have left. When they got outside, he stopped her. “I can’t believe you came to my house.”
“You wouldn’t answer your phone.”
“Because of what you did.”
“I didn’t do anything and if you would have answered your phone and talked to me, then I could have told you. Someone I worked for in the newspaper took me out, we had a couple of drinks and I talked about you. I couldn’t help it, I had been drinking a bit and I was happy. Then she used it all in the article and she got a picture of you on accident. It wasn’t this big betrayal. I would never do that to you and your family. Belinda saw an opportunity and took it.”
Henri didn’t want to believe it, but he was still heading towards the horse. He didn’t ask her if she had rode before, putting her up on the saddle and getting in behind her. With a motion to the horse, it took off towards the place where they had been alone before. As he held her stiffly, soon both of their bodies had to get with the natural movement to stay on. He was pressed up against her and she was starting to feel too good to ignore.
***
By the time he got to the pond he was hard and she could feel his need behind her. Mary didn’t want to explain herself anymore, too worried about what he was obviously thinking about as well. There was no denying how good he felt next to her.
He helped her down and as she slid down his hard body, her breath caught in her throat. It was hard not to breathe a little faster and he seemed to like her response. “I’ve been very mad at you, Mary. But I should have known that you wouldn’t do that to me.”
“If you are still angry, there are ways that we can get rid of some of that energy to help you feel better.”
Her words caught him off guard and Mary could see the bright eyes darkening above her as he held her gaze. Mary’s arms moved to go around him and pull him down for a kiss. Groaning against her, he couldn’t hold back any longer and quickly encircled her waist. Quickly she was overwhelmed and being urged back towards the rocks that surrounded the small pond. The trees blotted out the sun and it was cooler, but it also gave them some privacy as the horse grazed.
Henri was on top of her and staring down into her eyes. His hips had moved between her legs and he was pressing hard against her core that was so sensitive to the touch. “Is this what you had in mind?”
She shook her head because she couldn’t speak. It was what she had thought about since the last time he had kissed her, but there was no changing her mind that time. His hands tugged on her shorts and then his own. They were both still mainly clothed, but just enough was bare to pleasure them both. Mary felt hot, heavy weight on her quim suddenly and it made her body jerk back. “Now.”
Henri pressed in suddenly. With no touch or taste, she was ready for him as she had been for some time. He groaned with the wet heat suffocating his member and the slight whimper as he filled her full. Mary’s eyes closed to the pleasure as he moved slowly at first, picking up the pace as her cries got louder, his name more desperate on her lips.
“Yes, Henri, yes!”
She repeated the mantra over and over again as she exploded underneath him. He felt her tensing and then the swirl of fluid as her body released. Henri had waited too long for her and there was no going back once he had his hands on her. Slamming in harder, he hissed her name, pushing deeper as he leaned into kiss her. Every drop of his hot seed burning her womb, making her own pleasure peak once more before she was panting underneath him, finally away of the cool stone on her backside.
“Are you still mad at me?”
He shook his head as he looked down at her. How could he be mad?
“Good, because I don’t like when you are mad at me. Though I do like the makeup.” Henri throbbed inside of her, jerking with her words.
“I might still be a little angry.”
Mary giggled as he moved back over her. “What am I going to do with you, Henri?”
“Never let me go.”
As their lips met and she pulled him down to her, she knew that she wasn’t ever going to let him go. Mary didn’t believe in fate, but there was no other explanation how she could just bump into her soul mate. Mary was never going to give him up. It had taken her that long to find him and she wasn’t going to waste another minute without him.
THE END
