Was she perfect?
She wasn’t perfect, and yet he thought she was.
Her heart soared, and she wrapped her fingers around the base of his cock, working the tip with her mouth.
Edward took over, controlling the depths of his thrusts. He never went too deep. The moment he hit the back of her throat, he paused, and eased out a little more.
“Oh, fuck, baby. You’ve got no idea how perfect your mouth is.” He groaned, and fucked her face.
His cock seemed to swell in her mouth, and suddenly he pulled out. For a second she wondered if she had done something wrong until a white stream of his cum landed on her chest.
Edward came all over her chest and breasts, milking out every single drop.
When he had finished, he fell to his knees beside her.
He cupped her face, pulling her close, and slammed his lips down on hers.
Yeah, there was no mistaking it to her. She had fallen in love, and there was no turning back.
Chapter Seven
Three weeks later
“Are you sure about this?” William asked.
Edward glanced at his friend. They were at the Steer brothers’ mansion with all of their friends and family. Children were running around and causing chaos. The sun was shining, and the barbeque was fired up. Around the time he’d met Isabel, several of his friends were planning on leaving Cape Falls.
The Steer brothers were some of them.
In the beginning, Edward had thought Cape Falls was a strange place. Of course, he’d then seen how scary their backward thinking was. For many people, Cape Falls had been a nightmare. It certainly was for his girl, Isabel.
“What do you mean?”
“With Isabel. There’s a change inside you. You seem almost normal.”
The past three weeks had been … heaven. Their day off together had been bliss, and he didn’t want it to stop. Of course, he had to stop because he didn’t get paid to be sloppy. Control was booming, but he still had a role as a resident Dom to help training ones.
“I’m always normal.”
William snorted. “Please, you’re not normal. You were never the kind to help a girl like Isabel out.”
“I heard that your girl Daisy was a first-class bitch in the beginning.”
“And?” William asked, already looking defensive.
“People change, William. You and I, we’re not the same people we were twenty years ago. Life changes us, and we either accept it, or we don’t. I’m not the same guy that even came to Cape Falls. That woman there, even with all of her fucked up shit, she makes me a better man. That is all I ever wanted. A woman who had the power to make me better, and you know what? I got it. I’m so fucking serious about her, faults and all.” He slapped his friend on the back. “You should be happy for me. I’ve finally found the one for me.”
“So it’s love?” William asked.
“It’s something.”
“I’m happy for you.”
“What are you guys moaning about?” Ryan asked. He held a bottle of soda in his hand, looking a little sad.
“True love,” Edward said.
“It’s overrated. Believe me.”
“Your ex moved on?” William asked.
Ryan shook his head. “I don’t know. We’ve not spoken since the divorce. I thought we were friends. I guess I was hoping that we’d remain friends and there wouldn’t be any hard feelings.”
“You told your wife you didn’t love her, and never had.”
Ryan scrunched up his nose. “You know, I’m thinking of getting in my car and driving as far from this town as I can.”
“You want to leave?” Edward asked.
“Yeah. I thought about it a lot of the time. There’s nothing for me here. I’ve got nothing left to lose, and the town is taking too long to move forward. We’re slowly moving in the direction of the twenty-first century, just not fast enough. I want to get out, explore. I don’t want my final days to be here.”
Edward stared at his friend. “You’ve thought about this a lot?”
“A long time. Even when I was married I was trying to get away. Nothing holds me here. It never has. Growing up here, I don’t even know why I didn’t leave.”
“It’s the Cape Falls curse if you ask me,” Peter Steer said, approaching them. He held his hands up. “Sorry, I couldn’t help overhearing. You know how it is.”
“The curse?” Edward asked.
“It’s not something that I think anyone really cares about. I’ve thought about it a lot. The town is full of a bunch of people who hate it here. Still they don’t leave. Look at Peter and Laura. They grew up here, and neither of them have gone. I’ve not either. I think if we don’t get out when we’re young enough, we won’t leave. It’s the Cape Falls curse.”
