A Hard Man To Love

His

After everything Phil and Andrea had done since she announced her pregnancy you felt sure they wouldn't have any qualms about crashing your wedding which was in just a few months. It's wasn't like it was going to be big but your town was small and everyone would find out when it was thanks to the small town grapevine. Hershel was going to marry you on his family farm, and your parents were going to host a reception at the local fire hall so you could keep it alcohol free. Merle told you he would go anywhere you wanted for your honeymoon but the truth was you just wanted a few days to be alone with him somewhere the drama couldn't reach you.

The more you thought about it the more you thought one way or the other Andrea and Phil would find a way to show up and fuck it all up. With that in mind you decided to remove the potential for them to ruin your wedding day. There was still going to be a wedding and a reception for your family and friends to attend, but you were going to have a ceremony that was just for you and Merle. You were tired of the drama, so you were eloping. Now.

After researching requirements for marriage licenses, waiting periods, witnesses, blood tests, etc. you booked a room for a few nights in a bed and breakfast a few cities over that was about an hour away. For your official honeymoon you were spending a week in a mountain cabin. This though? You really just wanted someplace drama free that you could have a wonderful memory of getting married and spending a few days with your new husband. Fortunately, you were already scheduled off work for the days you'd be gone plus the day after you got back so there wouldn't be any questions from work. While Merle didn't run a formal garage most of the work he took in he finished up on a daily basis. Some jobs took longer but you didn't think he had anything holding over except a motorcycle that the owner was coming back for the next week.

Closing your laptop you stood up and walked out of the sliding door to the backyard and over to the side door leading into the garage. You could hear the tinny sounds of music coming from inside and the clanking of tools being tossed back onto Merle's tool cabinet. Opening the side door and walking into the garage you paused just inside and looked over at where Merle was. Watching as he crouched down to pick up some wrenches he had laying on a towel next to the motorcycle he'd been working on you admired the way his jeans hugged his ass. You could feel your clit start to tingle while you watched the muscles of his back ripple and shift under his black t-shift with his movements.

Shaking your head quickly to clear the lusty fog from your brain you cleared you throat.

"Was wonderin' when you were gonna say somethin' Angel," Merle said on a chuckle and turned to face you as he stood up with several wrenches in his hand which he tossed onto his tool cabinet.

You gave him a bemused look and leaned onto the counter next to you while he stood there watching you with that intent blue gaze of his. "You knew I was standing here?"

"I always know when yer around me, it's like opposite ends of a magnet attractin' each other," he told you with a shrug and tossed his rag on top of his tools before snatching your hand to pull you into his broad chest.

Putting your arms around his neck you kissed him while he settled his hands at your waist and smiled into your kiss. "What do you think about going away for a few days? Just us?"

"Will there be a bed wherever we're goin'?" His hand slipped to your ass and he caught your bottom lip between his teeth.

"Mmmmmm..." You hummed then giggled when his fingers found the ticklish spot on your side. "Of course. But you have to stop!!!" He kept tickling you while you squealed and tried to get away from him.

He finally let you go with a smack to your ass which made you squeal again. "Angel, you know I'll go wherever you want to lead me." Pausing for a second he raised a finger and touched it to your nose, "Well, most anywhere."
