A Bride for Theo Read online

  “I’m a virgin, Theo. I saved myself for you too.”

  I rest my forehead against hers and take in a deep breath and let it out slowly. When I pull back, I look her in her eyes. “Thank you, Ellie, for such a sweet gift. You don’t know how much it means to me that I will be the only one who knows the sounds you make, how sweet you taste, and how tight your pussy squeezes when you come.”

  Ellie

  Is this real? It feels like a dream, a perfect dream.

  If I’m dreaming, I’m not going to miss out on any of what he’s offering. If I’m not, to hell with it. Using my free hand, I wrap it around his neck and pull him down to me and kiss him. The kiss is slow at first, tentative. Theo’s dick is resting perfectly between my thighs, and every time he moves, the tip rubs against my sensitive clit making me moan. God this feels way better than my fingers. I rub my pussy over his shaft over and over. Theo grabs my hips and lifts me up, controlling our movements. He slides my panties to the side allowing his shaft to slide through my wet lips. We grind against each other, our movements becoming erratic, my clit throbbing in time with his thrusts.

  “Theo, don’t stop. I’m going to come.”

  Lifting up, he takes his dick in his hand and places it at my entrance. He rubs the head of his cock over my clit then back down to my pussy, he’s teasing me and driving my desire for him past the limit I can handle.

  “I’m ready. Please, Theo.”

  “I don’t even think I’m ready for this baby. Once I’ve taken you there’s no going back. Do you hear me, Ellie? I’m keeping you forever.”

  I nod “Yes, Theo I’m yours.”

  The control he exerts is gone. He slams into me, and I feel as though I’m being torn in two, at the same time wanting more, wanting him to move inside me until we are both spent. I doubt he’s able to get all of his inches inside me, but damn I want him to try.

  Slowly he begins pulling out of me and then pushing back in. Over and over he thrusts his hips, bringing me closer to the edge, moving faster and faster. He grabs my boobs in his large hands and massages them.

  He pinches my nipples between his thumb and forefinger, and I start to come. “Oh god! Theo, I’m coming. Don’t you dare stop.”

  “Come all over my dick Ellie. Fuck, your pussy is strangling me so good baby.” He groans. I feel it the moment he comes, rope after rope of cum fills my pussy. He doesn’t stop until he’s finished filling me up.

  When I wake up alone in bed the room is dark, and the house is quiet. I’m wrapped in the sheets, and my body is aching and tingling, reminding me of what Theo and I did, not too long ago. Where is he? I sit up and look around the room, but it’s too hard to see. Reaching over, I turn on the lamp on the nightstand. I get out of bed and find my jeans are hanging over a chair in the corner of the room. After using the restroom, I come back out to the bedroom. Unable to find my panties I rummage around in Theo’s dresser looking for something comfortable to put on.

  I snag a long sleeve t-shirt and put it on. I stumble upon a ring box in the top drawer. I know I shouldn’t look, but I can’t help myself. I pop the lid on the box and almost drop it when I see the size of the diamond on the ring. I’m not a jewelry person, but even I know the diamond has to be three to five carats. I stare at the ring for a long time admiring how beautiful it is. It’s a round pink diamond surrounded by other diamonds inlaid in an intricate design of the platinum band. This is the kind of ring a princess might wear.

  I look up into the mirror standing on the dresser and try to imagine Theo giving me this ring. I can’t see it. Theo deserves to be married to someone so much more deserving. Someone with a good family. A woman who is confident and ready to be the kind of wife he could be proud of. He doesn’t deserve to be trapped with someone like me. I’m a mess of insecurities and can barely make it through the day without making mountains out of molehills. I’m the opposite of grace and beauty. My sister Jasmine with all her beauty and kindness deserves to have found a man with a family like the Stones.

  I slam the box closed and toss it on the dresser. I can’t do this. I grab my pants and pull them on and rush downstairs where my bags are sitting in the foyer. Theo must have put these there before he left. He probably went back to the hospital to bring them food like he told them we would. Spotting my backpack next to my bags, I find my phone and order an uber to take me away from this place. Walking into the kitchen, I find my clothes and quickly change into my bra and shirt, then pull on my hoodie. I’m tempted to leave his long sleeve t-shirt here, but at the last minute shove it into my backpack. I only have a few minutes but realize I won’t be able to take all of my bags with me, I only have two hands after all. I leave a note for Theo on the table in the foyer, smudged with the tears I cried while writing it.

  Theo,

  I’m sorry I left without saying goodbye. Please understand that there was no other way. You deserve so much more than I can give you in life. I hope you find someone who can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. Someone worthy of your love. Please give my luggage to Jasmine. I’ll let her know where she can send it.

  Please don’t try and contact me. I think it’s best that you move on.

  Respectfully,

  Ellie

  I grab the bags that have my necessities and walk out of the door. It’s a couple mile walk back to the gate, which only takes me about a half hour. When I get to the gate my uber is waiting for me, thank god she didn’t drive away. I’m able to walk out of the exit, using the same code that I used when I lived here years ago.

  “Where ya going, hun?”

  “The airport please.”

  “You got it.”

  I buy the first plane ticket back to Colorado that’s available, which leaves in about an hour and arrive at the airport in just enough time to check in and get to my loading zone. When I get there, the flight is already boarding. I get in line and wait to board, all the while my mind is on everything I’m leaving behind.

  Have I just made the biggest mistake of my life?

  I’m torn between the life I think I deserve and the life I want so badly.

  “Final boarding call.” The flight attendant announces just as I’m about to turn and leave.

  I hand her my ticket, and she scans it. This was just a fairy tale anyway.

  “What took you so long? We were starving here.” Ford says the minute I walk into Jasmine’s room. My parents are sitting on the couch near Jasmine’s bed, my dad watching the news and mom reading a book.

  I put the bags of food down on the counter. “I’m here now. Eat your food. Now, where's my niece?”

  “Where’s Ellie?” Jasmine asks holding baby Ava while looking around me for her sister.

  “She fell asleep at home. It’s been a long day for her too, I decided to let her rest. I’ll bring her by in the morning.”

  Jasmine gives me a weird look, but when Ford drops a bag of food in her lap and takes Ava so she can eat, she is quick to forget about me.

  “Hello little Ava, how are you doing? I’m your uncle, Theo.” I tell the little girl who has turned everyone’s world upside down and right side up. I touch her hand with my finger, and she grips it lightly with her tiny fingers. “She’s beautiful. Y'all did good,” I say clapping my brother on the shoulder.

  He stares down at his day old daughter with pride on his face. I look at my parents who are also staring at Ford and Ava, and it’s clear how happy they are too. It’s crazy what a six-pound baby can do for a family. I can’t wait for my children to be born into this family. I know without a doubt they will be loved and taken care of no matter what.

  I visit for a while with my family, but after about forty-five minutes, I’m ready to get back to my Ellie. I tell everyone goodbye with promises to bring Ellie back in the morning. No one says a word about Ellie and me, but I wouldn’t expect them to. They have all respected my decision to make her mine,
and I believe they are just waiting for it to finally happen. The drive home takes a little longer because of the freezing rain that is unusually falling, causing reckless drivers to make stupid decisions.

  Finally making it home in one piece I’m all smiles when I walk in the door. Seeing some of her luggage gone I hope she found the empty closet space and dresser for her to unpack in. I’ve had clothes here for months, desperately ready to move in and start our life together. When I get to our bedroom, I don’t see Ellie there or anywhere upstairs. I go back to the kitchen, then search the entire bottom floor finding it empty.

  Where the fuck is she?

  I scramble around the house looking for any clue as to where she could have gone. Then it dawns on me, some of her bags aren’t where I left them. Maybe she went to Ford and Jasmine’s house. I’m about to walk out of the door to check his house, when I find a note addressed to me laying on my foyer table.

  How could she do this?

  I think back over today’s events trying to figure out what would make her believe she wasn’t enough for me? I go back upstairs and look around seeing if there are any clues. Then I spot the top drawer of the dresser pulled out. I know this dresser well, know exactly what is kept there. I’ve often come to our bedroom thinking about what our life will be like while holding the ring I picked out for her. Granted, the ring is a bit much, but it’s beautiful and meant to be on my future wife’s hand. When I look into the drawer, I see the box is laying in there haphazardly.

  I pull my phone out of my pocket and dial the head of Ellie’s security team. I gave them the holiday off since I planned on spending every moment with her.

  “Mr. Stone?”

  “Dawson, I need you to track Ellie down immediately.”

  “Yes, sir. And when I find her?”

  “Notify me.”

  “Not a problem sir.” Jack Dawson says, hanging up.

  I’m about to go searching for her myself when my phone rings again, a number I don’t recognize flashing on the screen.

  “Hello?”

  “This is officer Garcia of the Atlanta Police Department. Do I have Mr. Stone on the line?”

  “Yes, that is me. What’s happened?”

  “Sir, I’m very sorry, but there’s been an accident.”

  My heart stops. God wouldn’t be cruel enough to take her before I even had her. “Your parents have been taken to Emory Hospital.”

  “I’m sorry, did you say my parents?”

  “Yes sir, an ambulance has taken them to the hospital. Will you be able to meet them there?”

  “Are they alright?”

  “They were conscious and talking when they left the scene sir, but I can’t tell you more than that. I’m sorry Mr. Stone.”

  “And the other driver?”

  “They didn’t make it sir.”

  I’m quiet for a second. Hating that someone else has lost their life, but grateful it wasn’t my parents. “I understand. I’m leaving right now. Thank you for calling.”

  I hang up and drive immediately to Emory Hospital. When I arrive, I go to the emergency department front desk. Several nurses are sitting behind the long desk looking exhausted. I’m sure at ten thirty at night they’ve already had their fair share of crazy. I stop in front of a woman who looks like she could be my mother’s age. “Hi. My name is Theo Stone. I’m looking for my parents, Georgia and Hanford Stone. They were involved in a car accident.”

  The nurse types on the computer but furrows her brow. “I’m sorry sir, they aren’t showing up on my computer. Do you know when they arrived?”

  “I’m not sure. An officer Garcia called me about twenty minutes ago and told me they were being taken to this hospital in an ambulance.”

  “They might not be here yet or put into the system. Let me go check.”

  She leaves and walks through a pair of double doors with a sign saying only employees are allowed back. While I’m watching I see my mom being rushed by on a stretcher, covered in blood. God no! I take off at a run and push through those double doors not caring if I’ll get in trouble. These are my parents for fuck sakes. Just try and keep me out.

  “Sir! You can’t go back there!” Another nurse yells after me.

  I spot the nurse I was speaking to at first. She’s talking to a woman in a white coat who’s holding a chart and speaking with a paramedic.

  “Sir!” A security guard shouts.

  The nurse looks up at me, and the way she’s looking does not make me feel better. “He’s okay Harry, let him back.”

  I walk to the nurse who tells the doctor I’m the son of the woman who was just brought back. The doctor nods. “Your mother has lost a lot of blood. I’m going to get in there and try to stop the bleeding and find out what else is going on. I’m going to do my best to get her back to you.” She leaves and goes into a room I didn’t notice before. The windows are see-through, and I get a good look at my mother lying there with her eyes shut, surrounded by several people working on keeping her alive. Please let her live.

  Ellie

  I left Atlanta over a week ago, and I’ve regretted it ever since I got on the plane. I should have turned around and gone back to Theo’s house. I know the right answers is to just go back and tell everyone I’m sorry. I was supposed to be there for my sister, helping her through this time with Ava. Every day that passes makes it harder and harder. Guilt washes over me, holding me in place. It’s too late to go back, especially after leaving Theo the way that I did. There’s this giant ball of anger and guilt swirling around in my middle. It grows bigger by the day. My insecurities, fear, and self-doubt are all mixed in, and I feel like I don’t know what to do anymore.

  What makes things worse is that I haven’t heard from anyone since I left. When I got here, I bought a prepaid cell phone and turned my other one off so that I wouldn’t get any calls or messages from Theo. If he called and asked me to come back, I would go. If he called and unleashed his anger on me, it might break me.

  “Ms. Richards. Lola will see you now.”

  I don’t think I’ve ever made so many bad decisions in such a short amount of time. I stand up and smooth my shirt down my front. I’m wearing a lavender oxford shirt and a black skirt. I look around the waiting area and feel overdressed. Maybe I should have come in jeans and my college hoodie.

  I follow the receptionist down the hall and to an office all the way at the end. When she stops and knocks, we wait until we here a sweet voice say come in.

  I’m not sure what I was expecting to find, but Lola is beautiful. Her platinum blonde hair is styled perfectly, and her makeup is flawless. Her blue eyes are what strike me to most though with hints of teal green.

  “Lola, this Ellie Richards. She’s here for an interview.”

  She grants me a welcoming smile. “Ellie, so good to finally meet you. Please sit.”

  “Thank you, Ms. Martha. I’ll call for you if I need you.” She smiles at the older receptionist as she exits, closing the door behind her.

  “Ellie, I’m going, to be honest. You seemed hesitant when we spoke over the phone, but I could hear the desperation in your voice. After looking at your resume, I’m perplexed as to why you’d be sitting here in my office. Please tell me why you are interested in working as a phone sex operator.”

  “Umm.” I blush and look anywhere but at her. I expected her to ask me questions about myself. Maybe tell me how things work around here.

  “Look Ellie. You seem like a sweet girl. This job isn’t for the faint of heart. You’re going to be talking to men and women who are lonely. They need companionship but don’t know how to go about getting it, so they pay us to tell them all the things they want to hear. Have you read any erotica before?”

  I nod, and she smiles at me. “Here, I want you to read this out loud to me.”

  She hands me a packet with a few pages stapled together. Silently I begin reading it and start to blush when it immediately starts with a man dominating a woman.


  “Stop.”

  My head snaps up to hers. “Read it out loud. I want to hear your voice when you read this.”

  I bite my bottom lip and begin to read.

  The more I read, the more confident I become, my voice isn’t shaking, and heat burns my cheeks. I’m in the middle of reading when my pussy starts to tingle, and I am getting turned on by what is happening in the story. I shift my legs and realize I’ve drenched my panties. Theo’s face pops up in my mind, and for the millionth time since I left, I miss him.

  “I can’t do this.”

  “What do you mean? You were fantastic.”

  “This isn’t for me. The only reason I came here today was that I need a job. If you offered it to me, I’d take it since it’s the only prospect I have, but I’d feel guilty for sharing something so intimate with someone else. It’s bad enough I read this to you. I promised someone recently that I was theirs. This feels too much like cheating.”

  “That’s ridiculous Ellie. You’re a natural. I was getting turned on listening to you if that's any indication of how hot you sound. Just give it a-”

  The door flies open, and Theo is standing there looking massive and pissed. He’s got on a black fitted suit and is more handsome than I’ve ever seen him. I’ve never seen him in a suit before making my lady parts tingle in awareness. I’ve missed him so much and seeing him standing there is everything I’ve needed since I left him. “This interview is over! Ellie get up, we’re leaving.” He says in restrained fury.

  “I just-”

  “No! You don’t get to speak. Not yet. Get your ass out of this office. I’m not going to repeat myself.”

  I stand and walk to him, but he steps away from me. Ouch, that hurt more than I’m willing for him to know. “Walk outside, there’s a car waiting for us there. Get in. I’ll be there in a moment.”
