Banking on Him

Chapter 22 - Reese

Bringing her here had been a gamble, I wasn't sure if she'd be upset or not, but it seemed to be going well. It felt like something had been changing in her recently, but I wasn't quite sure what.

I had so wanted to introduce her as my girlfriend, but we hadn't discussed it, and I wasn't sure she was ready for that. Even so, I could tell both Jake and Kari were curious. I never brought women around, not since my father died. I came up here occasionally alone, but never with a woman. I knew dinner should be interesting so I should probably warn Serena, but there would be time for that later. Right now, all I wanted to do was make sure she had an amazing day.

I walked her out the back towards the vineyards, spouting off history I had heard on guided tours dozens of times. She giggled and asked questions as we walked hand in hand down the rows of grapes. Some questions I didn't know the answer to, but I told her she'd have the opportunity to ask at dinner.

"That reminds me. I have a confession."

"What's that?" She asked, slowing to look at me. "I've never brought a woman here. Jake and Kari are probably going to be curious at dinner. We'll have drinks, and well, we all grew up together, so I expect them to be in rare form."

"Do you not think I can handle it?" She asked, a little defensively. "No, no. That's not it at all. I just didn't want you to be blindsided." She nodded and started walking again. "So why did you bring me here?" She wasn't looking at me. I stopped and cupped her cheek. "I wanted you to meet them. I also thought you'd enjoy this."

"I am enjoying it, and I'm glad you brought me. I like meeting your friends. But maybe next time give me a heads up and just introduce me as your girlfriend, so everyone isn't wondering." She turned and continued down the row.

"Hey, wait up." She paused, looking over her shoulder, biting her lip. My dick swelled in my jeans. What the fuck had just happened?

"I just.. I didn't think you'd be okay with that."

"What? Telling people I'm your girlfriend?"

"Well, yeah."

She sighed. "Let's keep walking." She took my hand and pulled me along with her. She was quiet for what seemed like forever, just when I was about to say something she spoke. "I didn't want to be... at first. But then you steamrolled into my life and... now I want things."

"What things do you want, Serena?"

"More days like today and more weekends like last weekend. You and me... just more. A life outside of work, maybe."

I laughed. I couldn't help it. We'd reached one of the buildings where they kept the wine. I happened to know the tours didn't come out here, so I pulled her inside and took both of her hands in mine. She continued, "We still need to be careful for now, and I'll probably have to come clean to the board eventually, but right now... I just want you. I want to be yours."

I kissed her to end her little speech. "Are you done?" I asked. She nodded, fists gripping my T-shirt. I looked into her eyes and smiled, "Serena, will you be my girlfriend?" She laughed and rolled her eyes, "I suppose so."

No sooner had she finished saying yes, I was on her. We were all mouths and tongues and hands. I pushed her back up against a bunch of boxes and lifted her onto them, moving in between her thighs before stripping her dress off her. Her bra came off next, as I trailed kisses down her neck. She unbuckled my belt and slid my pants and boxers down then wrapped her fist around my cock. I jerked, she was never this bold. It was unexpected and sexy as fuck.

"Baby, you have to be quiet. Can you do that for me?" She nodded, and I slid into her. She bit down on my shoulder, and I groaned. "You're perfect, Serena. Always so ready for me."
