A Very Angels Holiday: Part Six - The Drops
Drew sat on the bed in his room. He had finished getting dressed for the New Year's Eve plans he and Cherry a while ago, but he needed some time for contemplation. It had been four months since they had discovered the listening and video bugs installed by his ex, Taryn. They had not had a problem from her or anyone who could be associated with her since then. There had been no further attempted attacks of Drew as well.
But he was still concerned. He wasn't sure why the nasty whore decided to try and fuck with his life again after ten years, but he damn sure didn't appreciate her efforts. This woman put him through hell. He had been physically abused by her, his push as The Chosen One stopped cold because of her nasty attitude, her trying to destroy his reputation with a screenshot of a text that was taken out of context. Their marriage had been so toxic and one sided, it had made him swear off marriage and love all together.
But, before his mom, Angela, passed away, she told him to never give up on the hope of finding true love. She believed strongly that he would find his one and only in America. And he had. Cherry had come strutting into his life at a time when he needed her most. It was almost as if his mom had worked her magic from where she is and put him in the path of the gorgeous, strong willed, kickass redhead. But the last four months had been weighing on Cherry's mind and he could tell. She was constantly on high alert because of the threat the bitch could pose.
But an unintended side effect had her closing herself off when it come to talking about her own past. She never really talked much about it before as it was, and he never pushed it because it was obvious that it was a tremendous source of pain for her. But the closer he got to her, the more he wanted to know. But every time he even mentioned it, she would shut down and refuse to talk about it or change the subject.
That is when Drew took matters into his own hands. He asked Sheamus to hack into her personal file and send it to him. Sheamus initially refused, "I can't do that, mate! That's a betrayal of trust for both of us!" But he heard the desperation in Drew's voice, "Brother, I wanna spend the rest of my life with her. I just wanna know her better, and maybe I can heal some of that hurt she's carrying around with her. She's done the same fer me."
So, Sheamus came through and Drew read the file. He couldn't believe his eyes. He figured she had been through something bad, but he never imagined it was that horrific and heartbreaking. It made him even more protective of her than before. The fact that she went through hell like this, yet still managed to come out the other side a stronger and happier person, was a testament to her will and toughness. But he wanted to destroy the bastard that treated her that way with his bare hands.
Drew texted Sheamus: "Thank you for the file. I understand everything now. She's my everything, Sheamus." He responded to his best friend: "I know, brother. Some advice: Tell her how ya feel about her. Don't just show her." Drew peaked out his bedroom door at the woman who had stolen his heart. He took a deep breath because, even though tonight was supposed to be a celebration of new things to come, he knew they needed to have a serious conversation about her past.
Drew strolled out of the bedroom with that goofy smile on his face that Cherry adored, "I don't clean up too bad, do I Love?" She looked and gulped at the site of him in black coat and pants and a dark blue button up shirt with his long black hair in a neat ponytail. She licked her cherry red lips and said, "Oh my! You look so handsome!" He returned the compliment in his own sexy way, "And you…you look absolutely delicious, my Love."
She melted against him as he pulled her in for a deep kiss. He wagged his eyebrows, "We have a little bit before we need to leave. Maybe we could go back in the bedroom…" She gave him a look, "If we do that, we'll never leave." He considered, "I like that idea. My arms are eating these sleeves up!" She rolled her eyes and laughed, "OK, have a seat until time to leave."
They sat down on the couch and Drew asked, "Are you ready for tomorrow? We tell them about us and everything changes." She smiled, "I'm ready. I just hope they understand why we kept it a secret." He decided to rip off the band-aid and get this over with, "Can I ask you something, Love?" She crossed her legs as she sipped her wine, "You can ask me anything."
He looked at her with his intense, beautiful blue eyes, "Why haven't you ever talked about your past to me?" She tried not to show how uncomfortable she was and shrugged, "There's not much to tell." He looked at her, trying not to show how scared he was of her reaction, "You and I both know that's not true…Leslie."
She stood up like a shot and her blood ran cold, "Why did you call me that?" He inquired, "That's your birth name, is it not?" She started to freak out, "Are you really going to do this now? Why are you doing this to me? I can't believe this!" Hot tears started flooding her eyes. He tried to reason with her and pull her into a hug, "I want to know the real you. Since you would never talk to me about it, I had Sheamus open your file."
She pushed him away and screamed, "You did what?" He couldn't believe how strong her reaction was to this, "I read about your life before the Angels. How you bravely escaped from him." Her breathing became erratic and she angrily wiped her tears away, "How dare you! You want to know the truth. Fine! I killed that stupid, pathetic little girl Leslie! She allowed herself to be manipulated and abused for years by the piece of shit! She had to die so that I could live! Leslie does not exist anymore!"
Drew couldn't believe his ears, "Allowed yourself? You were groomed by him! He took you as a young girl and abused you! You had no choice, Love!" She shrugged off his touch and yelled, "Stop it! I don't want to talk about this! I can't talk about this. I can't believe you had Sheamus hack my files!" He explained, "You wouldn't talk to me. I had no other way to find out more about you."
She was so angry, she decided to turn the tables on him, "OK fine, Drew! You want to play that game? I can too! Why won't you tell me you love me?" Now it was his turn to feel uncomfortable, "I don't know what yer talking about." She was livid, "Oh BULLSHIT! You know damn well you have never said those words to me! You call me "Love" and "my Love" all the time!" He bellowed, "And I've meant it every time!" She asked, "But why won't you tell me how you feel about me? It's three words, Drew. Three words that mean the world to me. And I want to hear them more than anything! You've said that I'm yours forever."
He maintained, "You are mine! And I am yours! Is it not enough for me ta show ya how I feel?" She was unmoved by this. It was finally time to address this, "Why won't you tell me, Drew?" He shouted, "Because people say those words all the time and never mean them! Taryn used ta tell me she loved me all the time and she never meant a goddamn syllable! She used me ta get inta a bigger position on the roster, and then dumped me when my push went away. And it went away because of her fucking crazy antics. She never loved me at all. What I feel for ya is a million times stronger than I ever felt for her! The words are meaningless unless ya show how that person how ya feel!"
More tears streamed down her face, but these came from anger, "Oh, I see! You're punishing me because of how goddamn Taryn Terrell treated you? Hasn't that whore tried to destroy your life enough that you let her dictate how you treat me? She may have never meant those words, but I long to hear them from you more than you will ever know!" He stated emphatically, "Well, I can't say them!"
She started to wail as she sat down on the couch with her face in her hands. This is what it had come down to. Cherry felt her heart breaking into a million pieces, "I can't do this, Drew. I can't go the rest of my life without knowing how the man I love feels about me. I can't live like that! I won't live like that again!" She cried harder as she slipped the Angel ring off her middle finger and put it on his coffee table, "I'm sorry, I just can't do this!" She choked on her sobs as she grabbed her car keys and walked to the door.
Drew felt his heart drop to his stomach as he watched the love of his life walk out of his door. How could he be so stupid and thick headed? His stubbornness was going to be his undoing and he was blowing his one chance at love and happiness. He needed her like he needed oxygen to breathe. It was either his pride or her. He had tears in his eyes as he scooped the ring up in his hand.
She reached the door and started to open it, but his hand came from behind her and shut it. He said forcefully, "You're not going anywhere." She was breathing hard with her sadness and anger, "Yes, I am! I'm not doing this! Let me go, Drew!" His voice now drenched in anguish, "No! I will never let you go!" He grabbed her by the waist, "I knew the first time I made love ta ya in yer shower that I never wanted ta be without ya! I will never let you go, my Love!" She angrily tried to push him away but he was just too strong, "Stop! Damn it! Take your hands off me! Let me go, goddamn it!"
Drew's pride fell to the floor and he finally said the words Cherry had been yearning for, "I love ya." She looked at him with seething rage, "Fuck you! I will never take those words from you out of pity! You obviously don't mean them! I am done with the "how does Drew feel about me" guessing game! Let me go, please. Please just let me go." Her voice quivered as she started to cry all over again.
He cupped her face in his hands and brushed away her tears with his thumbs gently, "Those words are not from pity. They are the truth. I mean them with all my heart. I've loved ya since the moment I met ya, and I should've told ya every day since that moment every chance I got. I love everything about ya. I love yer laugh. I love how ya make me laugh. I love what a smart arse ya are. I love how ya put me in my place. I love how ya respond to my touch. I love how ya kiss me. I love the sounds ya make when I make love to ya. I love ya with all my heart and soul, Baby. Yer not not walking outta my life! I love ya, Cherry!"
She resisted his kiss and tried to push him away. But then, she melted against him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Just like she always did. Their tongues did that beautiful dance that always happened when their lips met. His lips slipped down to shower her neck with kisses. He kept saying "I love ya" over and over as if he were trying to make up for the whole year in one minute. She sighed as his lips kept working her traveling down to the top of her breasts as his kept repeating those magical words.
He pressed his face to hers and kissed her sweetly on the lips. But then, she was shocked as her dropped to his knee and pulled out the Angel ring. He looked at her with all the love he had for her in his eyes, "Cherry, I love ya more than anything in this world." He placed the ring at her left ring finger instead the middle. She didn't understand what was happening, "Drew! What are you doing?"
He asked her, "Will ya marry me?" She almost laughed through her tears, "What? You're crazy, Galloway!" He said, "I'm crazy for you, my Love. Please marry me." She smiled as she nodded her head, "Yes! I love you, Drew! You crazy dork! Yes, I'll marry you!" He beamed as he slipped the ring back on the finger where it belonged. She was back in his arms where she belonged. He picked her up and kissed her lovingly.
She rested her hands on his chest and said, "I'll marry you. Just say when." He smirked, "When." She rolled her eyes, "God, you're such a dork!" But he was serious, "No, I mean right now. I don't wanna wait. We've wasted enough time." She was trying to be practical, "Drew, we have to get a marriage license. We have to tell Kevin and the girls." He nodded, "Then we'll get the marriage license right after we tell them!" She laughed, "You really are crazy!"
He started to corner her and his voice got husky and thick with his Scottish accent, "I told ya, I'm crazy about ya, my Love. I love ya so much." Her desire started to grow as she looked into those beautiful blue eyes, "I love you, Baby." She pushed his jacket off his shoulders. "You know, all of a sudden, I really don't feel like going out for New Year's Eve. We have more to celebrate than a new year." He pulled the straps of her dress off her shoulders and let it pool at her feet. He growled, "Yer goddamn right, we do!"
He backed her up against the wall and kissed her soundly. She fumbled with the top two buttons on his shirt before ripping it the rest of the way open and roughly pulling it off her shoulders, kissing him on his hairy chest and licking his nipples. He groaned as her hands went between his legs and traced the outline of his already bulging cock with her fingers as it strained against the fabric of his slacks. He scooped her up in his big, strong arms and carried her to the bedroom, kissing her and proclaiming his love the whole way.
He laid her gently on the bed and quickly dispensed with his pants and underwear. She rose up on her knees as he crawled over to her and did the same. He threaded one hand in her hair and pulled her into a kiss as his other floated down her back and unhooked her bra. He used those fingers to tug and soothe her nipples. He caressed her down her stomach, slowly snuck his fingers into her black lace panties. He started rubbing her nub with his pointer finger, causing her to moan against his mouth, "Oh god! Drew! Please don't stop!" He whispered in her ear, "I'll never stop, my Love."
She adjusted her leg wider to allow his touch to invade her insides. His fingers stroked deeper inside her, touching that special spot. She was already warm, wet, and ready for him to take her to heaven. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head as he laid her back on the bed, swiftly removing her panties. He raised her knees high and licked her slit all the way up slowly and nibbled on her clit for a second as she let out a yelp of pure pleasure.
He placed her legs up on his massive shoulders and sunk inside her up to his hilt, causing them both to moan loudly. He started rolling his hips and pounding her hard as he said, "I love ya! I am yours forever, my Love! God, yer so tight! Ya feels so good!" She arched her back to take his length in fully, screaming, "I love you, Drew! Oh god, I love you!"
She adjusted her legs to wrap them around his waist. He reached between their bodies and started circling her clit with his thumb. This sent her into another stratosphere of ecstasy as she moaned louder, begging him to let her cum. He felt her orgasm in a tight coil and felt her cum around his cock in a gush. He pressed his face to her as they screamed each other's names in love.
He was fucking her like he wanted to give her a baby…that is when he realized that's exactly what he wanted to do. He didn't just want to marry her. He wanted her pregnant with his child. "I love her with all my heart" was the thought he had as he came like a tidal wave buried deep inside her womb. The warmth of his seed filling her up and leaving her breathless and emotional.
Both of their bodies were trembling in ecstasy and happiness in the afterglow of their lovemaking. He withdrew slowly from his home and rolled onto his side, lightly rubbing her leg and arm. He mumbled, "I can't wait to be yer husband, my Love.", as he kissed her hand right above her newly christened engagement ring. She smiled, stroking his beard, "I can't wait to be Mrs. Drew Galloway."
He rolled over on his back as he looked down at his cock with a goofy grin, "Looks like I got another problem down below. Get up here and give your fiancé a ride, baby!", as she smacked her on her ass. She giggled and kissed him as she straddled him and sunk down all the down on his girth, loving the feeling of him impaling her with his gigantic cock. She cried out as she started riding him. He groaned out "I love you" over and over and she screamed his name with multiple orgasms.
When the clock struck midnight, he reached over and kissed her as they made love in his big hot tub, watching the brilliant fireworks go off at the distance in downtown Nashville, "Happy New Year, my Love. Tomorrow is our wedding day." She asked as she sighed and moaned, "Isn't is bad luck for the groom to see the bride the night before the wedding?" He took her left leg and put it over his massive shoulder, saying with a chuckle, "It's worse luck fer me not ta be inside you."
But unfortunately, their luck was running out anyway. The lovers once again were not alone. She had tapped his house again after Sheamus removed the previous bugs. She watched and listened, shaking with anger as Drew and Cherry became engaged and made love again and again. "GODDAMN HER! That fucking bitch! She has some sort of devil hold on my Drewy! And MY RING! He never gave me that! I never knew it existed! It should be on MY FUCKING FINGER!
She smacked Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss on the back of the head and yelled, "Boys, time to move up our plans! There will be no wedding….at least not for her! After she leaves in the morning, we take him! I'll bring him back where he belongs. TO ME! And if that slut gets in my way, I'll kill her and her little Angel friends! Drewy is MINE…ALWAYS!"
The next morning, Cherry woke up and put on her clothes while Drew was still fast asleep. She looked at the large form of her sleeping angel, sprawled out on his stomach, no sheet over him so he could see him in his full nude glory. She would get to wake up next to that every morning for the rest of her life after today. She texted him so he would see it when he first woke up to let him know she was going back to her place to shower and change before meeting him at HQ to tell the crew their news.
She couldn't believe it! She was going to be Mrs. Drew Galloway! She blushed at the thought and nearly squealed with delight. She leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips and brushed a lock of hair away from his forehead, "I love you, my sweet Scottish prince." She left, trying not to make a sound as she left.
Drew woke up several minutes later, hard as a rock and wanting his love, his fiancé, to relieve him of this condition. But he grabbed at air as he reached for her. He sat up and saw he was all alone in his California king size bed. He looked at his phone and saw she had sent him a text: "Heading home to shower & change clothes. Then I'll meet you at HQ to tell Kevin & the Angels. Then…we get married! I love you, Mr. Galloway!" He smiled as he texted back: "You better be ready for the wedding night! I love you too, soon-to-be Mrs. Galloway!"
He got up and put on his jeans and underwear. He sighed and smiled as he walked to the kitchen, "She made me coffee! I'm a luck man!" He poured a cup as he texted Sheamus: "Mate, call a meeting with Kev and the girls as soon as you can. I have something important to tell all of you."
He brought the cup into the living room and took a sip. He winced at the taste, "OK, coffee isn't her strong suit. I know she's a tea drinker, but this tastes really weird…" He couldn't finish the thought as his head started spinning and he started stumbling to the couch. He fell down on it and dropped the coffee cup on the floor. He was out before his head hit the cushions.
Taryn Terrell skipped into the room from her hiding place and sat down, roughly grabbing Drew's hair and getting super close to his face, "Oh my sweet Drewy! Your whore didn't make that coffee for you. I did! Complete with lots of love and some knockout drops! Now, it's time to take your sleepy head self back where you belong…with me…not with HER! Corbin! Madcap! Pick him up and load him in the van!"
