But I'm right there with her. I too am becoming restless, but not for the same reasons. It's getting harder and harder not to touch her in the ways that I want to. My self-control slips a little more with each passing day.
I didn't believe I was a man anyone could torture. I know without a doubt that I’m able to withstand a lot of pain. My tolerance is higher than most people's. The key is to pull back into your mind. The one thing I had never even considered before Ellie was whether I could withstand torturing myself. That’s exactly what this is.
Not even going to the bathroom after she’s fallen asleep to handle my dick myself is working. Masturbation has always been a tool. One that I have controlled most of my life. I didn’t want any vices or my dick to rule me. That hadn’t been hard; Ellie changed that.
I won't break. I can't. I need her to ask for it, ask for me. To need me the same way that I do her. The first time, at least. My little fox needs to crack that door open. Once she does, I'll take the thing off the fucking hinges.
Patience, I remind myself. Something I have to do a lot more often than I’m used to when it comes to Ellie. I’ve never struggled with it before. Being patient is what makes me one of the best at what I do for my family. I have no problem waiting people out in order to get what I need from them. Ellie is the exception to that. She has me on edge.
I keep jogging past the crops they have on the south side of the property and toward the freshwater creek. This place can run itself without outside help of any kind for long periods if needed.
They still have shipments brought in of different supplies, but they aren’t delivered directly here. The shipments are dropped at another location and picked up and moved. I don’t have to dig to piece together that Ellie must have accounts she uses to place and pay for those orders. I’d bet it’s mostly auto-pay.
Ellie might have done her share of thefts in her life, Z having told me about some of her online antics. She’s a bit of a Robin Hood, wiping out people's debt and medical bills. I’m sure that tracks back to her mom. Stealing from the big companies and giving it to the people that need it most.
The thing is, I don’t think Ellie herself uses much capital. She’s not wearing name-brand clothing or buying flashy cars or anything, for that matter. I don’t like that she doesn’t let herself enjoy the finer things in life. If she won’t treat herself, I will.
I follow the creek upward now, keeping to the shade, as she had. People are often drawn to water, even if they are not consciously aware of it. It's a natural pull, but where there is water, there are tracks.
It's not long until I spot her up ahead. A tightness in my chest releases. I quicken my pace as hers begins to slow down. I make my steps louder, stepping on branches that are near my path to let her know I’m coming for her. She enjoys this part.
Ellie lets out a small scream and attempts to increase her speed. I slow down a fraction, letting her make it to the top of the ridge before I pounce on her.
"Ahh!" She lets out another scream when I scoop her up easily into my arms. It's followed by laughter. "Did you step on every twig? I didn't have to even look to know you were coming. Normally your big ass moves like a church mouse."
"It was for effect."
Ellie snorts another laugh, wrapping her arms around my neck, linking her fingers there. I could stay like this with her for an eternity. I love when she’s able to be carefree.
"You can carry me back." She flops back dramatically, exposing her neck. I lose this one. I lift her higher, bending at the same time so I can kiss her there. I feel her pulse quicken under my lips. "Ro," Ellie sighs.
Fuck, I love when she shortens my name that way. It sounds sexy as hell.
"Right here," I tell her before nipping her there.
"You're all right here." I lift my head.
"That sinking in for you?" Ellie licks her lips.
"Kinda." I put her back down on her feet before I take this further than I should. Ellie is too fucking tempting. “This is where I’d come when I’d, uh, check on things.”
“Me?” Ellie ducks her head. Damn do I get off on hearing her admit to that.
“We don’t talk about those things.” She tilts her head back in my direction, a smirk on her lips. Good, she’s getting used to me. That’s the plan. I want her body and mind attuned with mine.
