Trusting Myself To Love Again

Chapter 3

In the morning, I wake up feeling a huge burden has left my soul overnight, and I reach over to touch Max and find the bed empty. I take a deep breath, go into the bathroom, shower, and get dressed for the day. Once I'm done, I go downstairs and find Max in the kitchen making pancakes. 

He says," Good morning, Beautiful; sit, and I will bring the food over."

I sit in the chair and watch this sweet, handsome man make me breakfast. This simple gesture makes me feel warm inside because no other man has ever cooked for me. Max takes his time placing all the food he has made. My stomach gives a little growl, and he smiles. 

He says, "Dig in; I've made a lot because I was unsure what you like."

 We are silent as I fill my plate with two pancakes: turkey bacon, toast, and some strawberries. I start stuffing my face, and I moan because it hits the spot in my tummy.

I feel he is looking at me, and I look up and say, "I'm sorry I was striving, and it's so good."

He said, "I've wanted to hear you moan for such a long time but never thought it would be because of food."

We start chatting as we eat this excellent breakfast. He told me that Jeremy had called this morning and asked if the two of us would drive up to the wedding venue and take photos of the arch that was built and take pictures of them. He said that Ashley's parents got an earlier flight, needed to pick them up at the airport, and wanted to go to dinner with both parents. He also said that Max and I would be alone for the day.

I told Max I would clean the kitchen while he did and get ready to leave. I turn on some music and start cleaning the kitchen. I got everything done, and Max had been gone for over 30 minutes, and I began to worry.

I go into the bedroom and hear the shower going. I called his name, but he didn't respond, so I opened the door to ensure he was okay. My heart starts beating so fast as I see him standing in the shower with his hand wrapped around his erection. I make a little gasp, and he turns and looks at me. I can't stop staring at him; he has the most incredible body I've ever seen in person.

He speaks up, and you can hear the arousal coming from his mouth. He says, "Are you going just to stare or join me?".

At that moment, my body went on autopilot with desire. It has been over five years since I've been intimate with a man. I stare at him and start to remove my clothes until I'm only in panties and a bra. I can see him looking my body up and down, and I reach around, undo my bra, and slowly slide my panties down. I take a deep breath, open the shower door, and step in.

Max looks at me and says, "You have the most gorgeous body I've ever seen. We will only do what you are comfortable with, and at any time you want to stop, just say it."

I reach up and kiss him softly at first, and then I feel his tongue sliding into my mouth. I took my hand and caressed the hard planes of his stomach. He starts to kiss my neck, and I can feel his hands sliding over my body. His hand slides lower until I can feel his hand against my clit.

The sensation had me moaning, and I was shocked by the sounds that were coming out of me. I feel him slide a finger inside me, and I gasp from the sensation.

Max lets out a slow growl. "Babe, you are so wet for me, and it feels so good to slide my finger in and out."

My whole body is on fire; he is the only one to put it out. He bends his head down and bites softly on my nipple, and that sends me over the edge. I let the loudest moan escape me as I covered his finger in my release. 

I try to slow my heartbeat down, and I grab his face and start kissing him with all the passion I have in me. I reach my hand down and cuff his erection in my hand, and I begin to stroke him slowly; I can feel him tensing up from the pleasure.

"Stop, Mia, or I will cum on your hand before I am ready to do it if you don't stop touching me."

He has me in his arms and pressed against the shower wall in seconds. I wrap my legs around his waist and start to kiss him. He looks at me and says, "Do I need protection? Just to let you know, I had a checkout recently, and I'm clean"

I looked at him and said, "We are safe to fuck bare," and I barely got the words out before he had ram inside me.

He moans, "You are so tight".

When I adjusted to his large size, I felt slightly uncomfortable for a few seconds. Then I said, moaned," Harder, please."

With that declaration, I could feel Max pumping in and out of me with a force that I'd never felt before. He kissed me passionately, making me feel like you were the only one for him. I can feel myself getting close to an orgasm, and his mouth is on my neck, exploring with his hands tightly on my waist.

My body is reacting to all this passion, and I feel myself clamp down on his staff and scream his name as I explode on him. This action caused him to ram hard and deep, and he moaned yes as I felt him fill me with his release. 

We catch our breaths, and I slide down to him to stand. He grabs my face, looks me straight in the eyes, and says, "That was the most incredible sex I've ever had; I can't wait to try again to do it better next time."

He grabs a washcloth and softly starts to clean me. Max takes his time making sure I am clean and taken care of. After cleaning, I am turned on again. I ask him if he needs my help now, and he tells me that if I touch him right now, we will never make it to the wedding venue today.

I understood what he was saying and reached up and kissed him before leaving the shower. I started getting ready again for the day while he took his shower. We both finally were ready to go for the day.

As we walked into the garage, he opened my car door, and I got in. Before he closed the door, he bent over and kissed me. We started on the hour-long drive to the venue to help make sure Jeremy and Ashley had a perfect wedding. He turned on the radio, and we spent the drive listening to 80's rock and held my hand the whole way. 

We pull into a beautiful resort on an exclusive golf course. Max hands the keys to the valet, and we head inside to find the wedding coordinator. After a few minutes, an elegant-looking petite blonde introduces herself as Bridgette.

She starts talking to Max about what needs to be accomplished today and acts like I'm not there. Many women may be intimidated by her presence, but I'm not.

Over the years, I've learned to love myself and my body. Being a 6'0 woman with an athletic body is not what most describe as sexy. But I know that I was the one over an hour ago in the shower with this sexy man being told that I have a gorgeous body. 

So I walk beside Max and ignore Bridgette and her need to be the center of attention.

Once we were outside where the arch was standing, Bridgette suggested I take a photo of the happy couple standing at the arch so they could see how it looked.

With this suggestion, Max finally says, "Babe, I have a better idea; why don't we stand here for the photo of the couple? Plus, seeing how we look on our wedding day will be great."

With this comment, Ms. Wedding Coordinator grabbed the phone and said, "I will take the photos."

We stood there looking like we were saying our vows as she took the photos, and in the last picture, Max kissed me passionately. That kiss curled my toes, and my body was on fire.

I looked at him and said, "I think we need to go before we are arrested for being naughty. " He just giggled.

 Once we are back in the SUV, we will start our drive back. He looks at me and tells me he is sorry for how the woman was towards me. I tell him it is not his fault, and her actions do not bother me because I know he wants me. He adds, "I only want you and you for the rest of my life."

That declaration scared and thrilled me at the same time. I sit in the seat and think for a few minutes about my response to his declaration about us.

I say, "Max, I have feelings for you, and I want to see where they can take us, but just know I'm scared, and there are many obstacles that we have to overcome first, but I'm willing to try." 

He pulls over to the side of the road and puts his emergency lights on. He turns and smiles at me. "That just made me the happiest man to hear what you said; I know we have in our way, but I know we can figure it out."

I lean over the console, and we kiss; this kiss was like an agreement that we would figure out how to be together. 

I sit back down, and he moves the SUV back onto the interstate. We talk about the wedding venue and how beautiful the wedding will be. We also spoke about wedding gifts and how we have not bought a gift yet. We brainstormed some ideas, but it's tough to buy for a couple that can buy whatever they want.

After a few minutes of brainstorming, I said, "Why don't we book them a trip after the honeymoon to somewhere they would never think to go?"

He said, "I think that is a great idea."

So I took my phone out and searched for exotic trips. We discussed how they were going on a tropical honeymoon, so we decided to do something different.

After 20 minutes, we decided on an all-inclusive safari in South Africa. We knew they loved the outdoors and exploring places with animals and lots of history. We will have the safari booked and paid for when we return to Max's house. After completing the trip booking, we were to mark another task off our to-do list. 

Once we got back to the house, Max said, "Would you like to go on a date with me tonight since we are free from wedding prep?" 

I replied, "YES!!"

He tells me to take a long bath and get ready while he makes reservations. Before he leaves the room, I ask, "Do I need to dress up?"

He replies, "I'm taking you somewhere special," so he walks over, kisses me lightly, and walks down to his office as I bathe. I feel so giddy about what tonight will hold.
