Chapter 4

The
following week came and went in a blur. Selena had to make arrangements for her
stay in Austin and made sure she maximized her time there to do everything she
set out to do, so she could be free even before Dylan picks her up. She wanted
everything to be perfect before he meets her. She even tried to lessen her
meals that week, so she could be thinner when they finally meet, but she
remembered what he said about him not being particular with weight. Still, she
wanted to impress him, so she controlled most of her meals.

She
flew out to Austin on Friday night and got settled in before midnight. Dylan
called her on her cell just as she landed and wanted to pick her up from the
airport. She declined because she didn’t want him to bother and because she
always had a bad hair day when she flies to places. Her long blonde hair
doesn’t really comply very much with how she wants it styled. Her unruly curls
always stick out and form a small halo on her head. She tried her best to keep
her hair tame and close to her head, but it has a life of its own sometimes.

Dylan
understood that she probably wanted to go to her hotel right away and rest, so
he just arranged to meet her after her conference the next day.

When
Selena found her room, she kicked her shoes off and dumped her luggage on the
foot of the bed. She was so tired that she didn’t bother taking off her clothes
and jumped right into bed. She dreamt of running through a misty forest. She
was barefoot and someone, or rather something, was after her. She couldn’t see
what it was, but she knows that it’s dangerous, and she had to get away from it
as fast as she could. She stumbled on an outgrowth of trees and fell on her
knee really hard. She pushed herself up and saw that she was bleeding. She
couldn’t run any further. She was so tired from running and she was so thirsty.

Suddenly,
there was a sound of a branch breaking and footsteps nearing her. She turned
around and saw a shadow of an animal, a wolf. It had black fur and black eyes.
It was huge and massive. She was scared of it. It was getting closer, walking
towards her in a slow pace, like stalking its next meal.

She
suddenly woke up panting and feeling very thirsty. Sweat was dripping from her
forehead and her hair was wet with sweat. She shook herself awake and looked at
the time. It was almost five in the morning. She couldn’t sleep anymore even
though the conference is not until nine o’clock. She got off the bed and drank
lots of water.

She
spent the early part of her morning going over what she needed to do. She
picked up the stuff she ordered for the clinic before going there and sent it
off back home. She didn’t want to have to haul those things once she goes to
Dylan’s farm house. She finally attended the seminar, where she had a really
great time and learned a lot, and took her lunch in the hotel.

Dylan
was going to pick her up at around two that afternoon, and they will drive
straight to his farm in Houston. She was waiting by the lobby when Dylan called
and said he was near. Little did she know that Dylan was already there, sitting
by the hotel bar, admiring her from a distance.

Dylan
was silently admiring her for being a strong independent woman, and she wasn’t
that fat as she described herself. She was voluptuous and lovely. Her blonde
hair was framing her face in a dreamlike kind of way with curls tumbling down
her back down to her waist. She had on a nice and sweet Sunday dress that
hugged her natural curves and complimented her size. She had clear and flushing
skin, and her eyes were green and alive, her lashes giving them a hooded effect
because of its long and curly nature. Her lips were pouty and had a natural
perfect heart shape. He noticed how she always tends to bow down her head when
she talks to the waiter or the concierge. She was definitely a shy one, but she
doesn’t realize how alluring she is and that she makes a few heads turn when
she walks.

He
controlled himself from going over there right away because he liked to enjoy
looking at her from a distance. He finally waited long enough and made his way
towards her.

“Hello
Miss. Care to join me in a ride out of the city?” he asked as she whipped
around and looked at him.

Selena
was taken by surprise. She didn’t think he’d be there in just a few minutes. He
looked as handsome as he was on his pictures and their video calls. It was the
first time she saw him standing up because they were always seated when they
talked via video. He was very tall and big, although not like those bodybuilder
types with too much muscle and not so much else. He looked lean and in shape,
which made her look at her chubby little hands. She felt a little embarrassed
with how she looked that she looked down on the floor and checked herself again
before speaking.

“Hi
there, Dylan. I’m surprised at how quickly you got here. It’s like a three-hour
drive from Houston, right?” she feigned ignorance when she completely knows how
long it takes for the drive. She did her research early on and was looking
forward to having a solid three-hour ride with Dylan.

“Yes,
that’s about right, but traffic was light today so I got here faster. He tipped
his hat, and then reached out to take her hand and help her up. He did so
effortlessly, like she was light as a feather. His white shirt and jeans were
perfect on his body, the simplicity of his garb made him even sexier. She had
to bite her lip to keep herself from talking out loud and tell him that she’s
drooling inside.

They
went inside his SUV and drove off. They talked a lot during the drive, and she
forgot all her inhibitions about him and liked him even more in person. After
only about 2 hours, they arrived at his estate. Selena didn’t realize how big
the farm was. It was more like a whole chunk of Houston. It had nearly a
thousand acres of land that stretches out as far as her eyes could see. His
house was also more like a mansion with a large farmhouse and stable out back.

She was
still in awe as they pulled up his driveway. He looked at her and felt a little
embarrassed because he didn’t want her to be impressed with his house and
property. He led her inside and told her more about the place and its history
as they proceeded to the farm house. He showed her his most prized studs and
other horses. Afterwards,  they went on a picnic out on the pond running from
the house to the woods.

“I just
love your place Dylan” she was telling him as they sipped wine and just enjoyed
the open air and lovely breeze. Dylan was staring at her again and can’t keep
his eyes off of her. Selena looked at him and felt a rush of delight for
catching him staring at her. He looked mesmerized by her, and she felt like the
only woman in the world at that moment. His eyes were hooded. He looked like he
wanted to do something to her.

“Um,
Dylan? Are you okay?” she finally asked as Dylan pried his eyes away from her
body. He was imagining how good it felt to touch her or kiss her. He couldn’t
think straight because he was so distracted by her. The drive from the city was
agony enough because he could smell her scent all over the car, and it was very
hard to resist kissing her and taking her right there. Her innocent take on
things and unassuming nature made her even more desirable, and she doesn’t even
know how beautiful she is.

“Oh, I,
ah, I’m sorry for being rude. I didn’t mean to stare” he said shyly. “You are
just so beautiful Selena. I’m so lucky you even went out with me.” He said with
full honesty.

Selena
blushed and looked away. It was not normal for her to receive compliments which
actually made her uncomfortable. “Oh come on Dylan. I’m just a regular girl.”
She answered with a smile.

“No,
you’re not Selena. You’re special. I’ve never met anybody like you.” He looked
so serious and sincere that Selena felt warm inside. He was staring at her
again and his look made her melt inside. He touched her face with his
fingertips and cupped her chin and raised her face to meet his. He moved closer
to her and she closed her eyes, anticipating the kiss that was coming.

She
never felt that way before. She was never consumed by desire before, even on
her past dates with other men. She wasn’t as attracted to them as she was with
Dylan. He moved even closer as he kissed her heart-shaped lips with his.

His
kiss was gentle at first and slowly teased her lips into following his lead. He
moved closer and placed his hand on her waist, hugging her close to him. He
coaxed her lips to open up to him, and once she breathed and opened her lips,
he touched his tongue to hers and the kiss deepened. He laid her down on the
picnic towel and onto the soft grass. He was still kissing her as he loomed on
top of her, taking care not to crush her with his weight. She wasn’t even
remotely close to being petite and small, but he was considerably bigger than
most men and towered over her.

They
were breathing heavily now, her eyes were heavily lidded with desire. He was
whispering to her ears as his kiss moved back and forth from her lips to her
ears and neck. She felt brazen and wild as she stretched out under him, her
dress in disarray, and the hem of her dress was up to her thighs. Dylan reached
out from under him to touch her thigh. He let his hands linger and when she
didn’t protest, moved up higher and higher.

Selena
was in such a state of arousal that she was willing to give herself right then
and there to Dylan. She never felt so sure before and the feeling felt so
right. Although it was their first time to meet, their souls have connected way
before they ever saw each other in person. He was all that he said he was.

“Oh
Dylan” she moaned, writhing and moving her body closer to his. He obliged by
pushing himself down to her. She could feel his big arousal pressing into her
thighs. She felt her own arousal moistening her underwear. He had her skirt up,
and his hand was up her thighs, moving slowly upwards her inner thigh.

Dylan
was losing all control. He thought he could get through the day without
touching her, but she was so addicting that he couldn’t stop kissing her and
touching her. He didn’t want to take her right under the tree where they had
their picnic, but her moans nearly undid him.

“Selena,
baby,” he said, his voice ragged from keeping himself from devouring her. “We
should stop, I-I didn’t mean to kiss you and do this to you right here. I-I
want to make this special for you,” he said trying very hard not to look at her
half-open mouth and kiss her hard again.

“Dylan,
don’t…don’t stop…” was all she said. She might have seemed easy to get, but she
has never done anything like that before. She moved her body even closer, and
Dylan couldn’t resist her anymore. He moved on top of her fully covering her
and kissed her even deeper. He cupped her breast and she let out a moan. He
moaned with her as he reached the triangle in her legs. She was surprised by
the warmth of his hand, but it felt so good. He moved his hand up and down her
thighs and up to her sex. He groaned in ecstasy as he moved her writhing under
him.

“Oh
Selena, you’re so sweet and soft. Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked
her as he pushed up against her sex with his throbbing erection. They were
still fully-clothed, but his staff was jutting out and wanting to break free
from his jeans.

“Yes,
Dylan. More than anything in the world…” she answered. He left a trail of hot
kisses down her throat up to the exposed tops of her breasts. He tugged her
dress down, so he could bask in the fullness of her breasts.

“You are
magnificent Selena. Hmmm…you are so delicious. I could eat you all day,” he
continued to devour her breasts as he hooked his finger on her panties, drawing
them down to her calves and completely taking them off. He opened his trousers
and let out his huge erection. He felt her hands caress him and bit her nipple.
He put his finger inside her, and she felt so moist and warm inside.

“Please
Dylan, I want you inside me…” Selena pleaded and Dylan rewarded her by finally
pushing himself inside. They got into a steady rhythm, and after a few minutes
of pure ecstasy, they both climaxed and fell into each other’s’ arms.

Dylan
got off Selena because he was crushing her with his weight and Selena
discreetly put her panties back on. Dylan hugged her to him and played with her
hair.

“Selena…
I want you to know that I want to make this right.” He said as she looked up at
him. Selena was still dazed by their passionate lovemaking that she didn’t
quite understand what he was saying.

“What?
How?” she asked innocently stroking his muscled chest.

“Selena,”
he said and straightened up in a sitting position. “Marry me,” he said with all
seriousness.

“W-what?”
Selena also straightened up and was taken by surprise by his proposal. “I mean,
we just met. Well, we did have sex already, but still…” she trailed off as he
took her hands in his.

“I mean
it Selena. I’m not saying this because we just had sex but because that’s what
I’ve been meaning to do since a month ago. I realized that you’re my match in
every way. I didn’t want to waste any time waiting for years to ask you.” He
took out a magnificent ring and offered it to her. “This ring was my
grandmother’s, and I want you to wear this, now and all their days of our
lives.”
