“You have my daughter. Isn’t that going to buy me some extra money?” her father asked.
Matthew chuckled. The man had no shame. “I can squash you like a bug. I wouldn’t care one bit. Any lost money comes off your own back. I’ve got what I want. You’re debt free.” He slammed the phone down. The guy didn’t deserve to be a father. He pushed the piece of paper under a pile of other forms. Her father had merely provided him the means to claim Clara. He’d been trying to get her attention for some time. When her father’s debts all but landed in his lap he found the perfect opportunity to get what he wanted.
He heard her walking down the stairs and he followed her into the kitchen. He’d given his housekeeper sometime off. They were alone together. He fixed them both a sandwich before he led her back out of the house. Clara needed to relax around him.
For some reason he felt like going to the zoo. The zoo would be busy for a Saturday, which provided plenty of space for her to relax in his company. He paid money for their entrance then held her hand as they walked around.
After some time she gripped his hand. Her other hand held the top part of his arm. She turned her body into him rubbing against him.
“Will you have an ice-cream with me? My treat?” she asked.
“Sure. Get me whatever you’re having.”
She disappeared inside a shop coming out with two chocolate coated ice-creams. He took the one she offered. They continued walking around. She hesitated outside the reptile section. “Are you going to be a girl?” he asked.
“I don’t like spiders or any reptile type thing. They’re gross.”
“We’re not taking one home.” The reptiles freaked him out but he’d paid to see everything. Her grip tightened as they walked round the whole area. Matthew shuddered as he looked at the spiders in their cages.
By the end of the day he bought them each a burger and then drove home. During the day they’d talked about what they liked. He knew they were getting to know each other slowly. He couldn’t wait to have his ring on her finger.
When they got home they sat in front of the television. Clara sat in one corner as he sat in the other. Throughout the two hour long film she ended up with her head in his lap. Matthew stroked her hair where she lay in his lap. Each minute they spent together the trust between them increased. If he had to wait a whole year until she became his then he’d gladly wait.
He saw her up to her room, kissed her goodnight before he went into his room. After a cold shower he read for a few minutes then turned his light out for the night. Sleep failed him. The day had him pumped up with so much energy he only knew of one way to expel it. He didn’t want any other woman. He wanted Clara in his arms and in his bed. The sound of his door opening him startled him. Clara stood at the opening to his room.
“I couldn’t sleep,” she said.
Without thinking he lifted up his sheet inviting her inside. She lay down next to him. Her hands under her head as she stared at him.
“I enjoyed today.”
“I did too.” He cupped her cheek feeling her smooth skin. She licked her lips. The sight of her tongue making him moan as he cock pulsed. He wore no clothes.
She stared at him for several moments. Neither of them saying a word. “I like spending time with you.”
“You’ve only spent one day with me.”
“I know. This has been one of the most enjoyable days of my life. I never thought I’d enjoy the zoo so much.” She chuckled.
“I enjoyed today as well.”
“Can I stay here tonight?”
“If you want to.”
“I do.”
Matthew wrapped the blanket round her. She snuggled close to his side. For several minutes he watched her sleep before going off into dream world himself.
When he woke the following morning, Clara lay next to him with her eyes open, staring at him. Her beauty struck him at once. He couldn’t believe his arms were finally around her. He’d been dreaming of this moment for months.
“Good morning,” he said. Matthew wanted to say more but he left the words to a simple, good morning.
“Morning.”
She reached out to touch his chest but she stopped. He held back the growl as he wanted her touch more than anything.
“You can touch me,” he said. “I’m all yours to touch.” She didn’t reach out to him.
“How does this agreement work out? Are you seeing other women?” Even after she asked her questions, Clara made no move to touch him. He rolled onto his side not caring if the cover rolled down his body. The fact she held back from him, bothered Matthew more than he liked to admit. Didn’t she know how he felt? Having her in his bed and in his life meant the world to him.
