I wake from my dreams. I feel you next to me, your heart beating in rhythm with mine.

We met just a week ago, and all I know is I want to be yours forever. I want you to be mine forever.

………………………………………..

Let me start from the beginning.

I was alone in a new town, with no friends and a new job. My world was upside down. I had just left a bad relationship and wanted to start anew.

I focused on my work. I knew I must have success here; otherwise, I had no place to turn. I had no time for dates or any sort of social life. Alone, afraid, but determined to make it here.

Finally, at work, I made a friend. Her name was Ariel. She was in her late twenties, married, and the store gossip.

We started going out on Friday night after work for a few drinks. She was fun to hang out with, especially since I knew so few people. We talked about work. Airel always let me know the latest scuttlebutt at work and who was fucking who.

As the drinks flowed, it was always the same question from her. She would ask, "Anna, when will you find a guy to date you?"

I would smile and just shrug my shoulders.

…………………………………………………

The days, weeks, and months went by, always the same for the most part. My work efforts were noticed, and I received an excellent promotion making enough money so I could breathe.

One Friday night, Ariel could not go out, so I thought I would go out by myself. I spent more time putting on my makeup, picking out the right outfit, and looking my best. Lord knows why I felt this way, but I did.

I went to the place that Ariel and I would go as it felt comfortable there. I sat at the bar, which I usually would not do, but I knew the bartender a little.

He greeted me and said, "How are you, Miss Anna and no Ariel tonight?"

I replied, "All by myself tonight, Airel had other plans.”

I was enjoying my drink and listening to the music when a whole gaggle of guys came in, all dressed in dirty construction clothes. They all seemed ready to have a good time and spend their Friday in a bottle of beer.

A few minutes later, another guy came in dressed better than all the others and joined them. I took him to be the boss. He had sandy blonde hair, nicely built early thirties, and the best smile I have ever seen on a man. He walked up to the bar, handed the bartender his credit card, and pointed to the group and said, "The first two rounds are on me for all of them."

He looked over at me, smiled, and said, "Hi, my name is Jim, and if any of my crew get out of line, let me know, and I will kick their ass."

I laughed and told him, "Thank you I will do that, and my name is Anna, a pleasure to meet you," as I shook his hand.

He rejoined his table with his friends sitting down at a chair with a view of the bar and me. I made some small talk with the bartender in between him making drinks.

A couple of other guys came in sitting at the bar near me, and it was clear this was not there first drink of the evening. These were the kind of men you would want nothing to do with slurring their vulgarities loudly.

I decided that it was time to leave and asked the bartender for my bill, and I paid for it. I walked by the two obnoxious gents, and one of them grabbed my arm and said, "Where you are going, baby, I was just getting ready to come and ask if you wanted to come home with me."

I tried to pull away, but his grip was firm and was unable to. The bartender said," Hey, let go of her."

The guy just told him, "Fuck off and mind your own business.”

The next thing I knew was Jim came over gave the guy a good punch in the mouth, sending him hurling across the bar. The other guy got up and took a swing at Jim and missed, and then Jim leveled him. Jim's crew came and cleaned them up, or should I say beat the crap out of them, throwing them out into the street.

The incident shook me, and Jim said, "Here have a seat, Anna."

We talked for a long time, getting to know each other, having a few drinks. It got to be late, and he said, "I must be going soon. Could I offer you a ride home or call you a cab?"

Still feeling shook from the encounter and vulnerable, I told him, "Would you drive me home?"

Jim said, “I would love to drive you home.”

We arrived back at my apartment. I thanked Jim for his chivalry. He told me, “I know my timing may be bad, but I wondered if I might get your phone number, so I could call you and ask you out on a proper date.” I grabbed a pen from my purse and jotted down my number for him.

…………………………………………………………………

He called me the next morning and set our date for that night. Jim came to my place, picked me up for our date, and then took me to one of the most excellent restaurants.

He told me he was a foreman for a construction company and was here to do a job, and he would be heading back home after its completion. My heart sank, finding out he did not live here.

We finished dinner, and he asked if I would like to go for a walk on a nearby beach. We sat down on the sand to enjoy a perfect moonlit night on the beach, a cool breeze, and the ocean's smell.

Looking into each other's eyes, I think we both knew our first kiss was about to happen. He leaned in, holding me as we kissed. If time could be frozen, this would be the time. I would want to be frozen in. From that moment, I knew I was falling in love with him.

We went back to his place and shared a bottle of wine. He walked around as I sipped my wine, and he lit some candles to set the mood. Coming back to the couch, he sat next to me, and we kissed. He moved down my neck, placing soft, warm kisses on me.

I kept telling myself I do not want to be a one-night stand. I could feel my wetness, and I wanted him in me. All my inhibitions unshackled, fallen to the side.

He gently took my hand and led me to his bedroom, looking at me, seeking my approval. I am sure my eyes said yes, my lips whispered in silence their approval.

Lying back on his bed, he slid my panties off, exposing my shaved pussy and its glistening wetness. Lowering his head between my legs, his warm breath sending tingles throughout my body as the tip of his tongue licked my folds. I ran my hands through his hair as he did.

Swirling his tongue in a circular motion, I raised my hips and began grinding against him. Reaching my clit with his playful tongue tasting me. He wanted me to be in a state of bliss as I was getting close to cumming.

Letting out some moans of pleasure, I soaked him in my cum. I was in sexual heaven.

I got up and unzipped his pants, exposing his throbbing member. Gently sucking on his tip as I massaged his balls. I could feel him harden even more in my mouth.

I wanted him in me. I knew I must have him and now. I could not wait any longer. I removed my bra as he stripped. Laying back in his bed, I spread my legs as my eager pussy waited for him.

He slid his cock into me, sending me into instant orgasm. Rocking back and forth, I began purring like a kitty. Biting my lip as a came. Rolling over, I climbed aboard, slowly sliding up and down on his rock-hard cock. His hands were pulling me down so we could kiss. Tongues tangled as we made love.

He exploded in me, filling my pussy with his cum. I felt him go limp after he came; I did not want him to stop.

We cuddled for an hour or more. Jim finally dozed off into a deep sleep. I fell into a light sleep and woke up just as the sun was rising.

He started stirring in the bed, leaned over, and kissed me, and looked out the window along with me. We saw the water had reflections with shades of yellows and reds. This mixed with clouds rising over the ocean.

This was our sunrise. It was meant just for us. The sunrise to begin the rest of our lives with.
