“Not a whole lot, but I decided to get out into the dating world. I mean this unhealthy obsession I have with your brother really needs to stop. I don’t see him, and when I do, he’s always with some random woman. He doesn’t seem to know I’m alive, and when he has to speak to me he acts like I’m twelve.” I would love for Hannah and my brother to date, but I tend to agree, he does seem to treat her like a little kid and he doesn’t appear to want to settle down any time soon. Much as I hate to admit it, she would probably do better to move on and find someone else.
“Okay, so who have you gone out with?” I haven’t noticed Hannah showing an interest in any particular guy, so this spikes my curiosity. I’m not really in the loop with the whole dating scene of Twin Oaks, which means I can give her no help whatsoever.
“I joined an online dating service,” she whispers across the table like it’s the biggest disgrace ever. I can’t help but laugh, she’s so cute. “I actually got a date and went. It was awful.” She shudders when she says it. “He was so weird, and somehow Conrad found out and showed up. Scared the crap out of the guy, which was fine because I wasn’t going to repeat that experience. He had OCD or something. He brought out these wipes and wiped down all our silverware and dishes. Then, he had to say my name three times every time we started talking. It got annoying fast.” My laughter only got harder the more she talked—this was classic. After a few moments, she couldn’t help but join me and we’re laughing like a couple of hyenas.
“Well, you can’t let that discourage you.” I know dating is hard and am happy to have Tyler in my life. I would hate to know I had to try and find a guy to date in this town. I’ve known most of them my entire life. Yeah, talk about awkward.
“It doesn’t matter, Conrad forbid me from online dating. He said it’s too dangerous and swore to screw up every date I went on like that, so he decided to help me out and set me up with Tucker.” Nice, Tucker is good-looking and seems like a sweet guy. I’m nodding and smiling while she is shaking her head at me.
“Oh no, what happened?” I ask.
“I went out with him, and it started out great. I mean Tucker is a great guy, but I’ve known him all my life and we’re friends, so it got weird. One minute we were laughing and having a nice time, and the next we were both saying we couldn’t date. It was too weird. We’re definitely in the friend zone.” I can see that. It would be like me trying to date Justin. Ewww, just ewwww.
We continue our lunch when I notice my brother’s truck parked in front of Mr. Able’s law firm. I see him get out and go inside. What could he be up too? I don’t say anything to Hannah, and she goes back to work after we finish eating. I decide to go over and find out what Lee is doing. Damn, talk about a busy day in town. I hope I can get my shopping done in time to cook dinner before Tyler is home.
I walk into Mr. Able’s office and his secretary, Mrs. Jackson, greets me and asks if I have an appointment. She acts as if she doesn’t know who I am, even though she was my Sunday school teacher when I was six. I decide to play along and tell her no, but I would like to see Lee Burkett. Instead of using the phone on the desk she simply turns her head and calls back for Lee. I’m proud I held in my laughter. Real sophisticated intercom system they have going on.
The moment Lee sees me he pales slightly and then grabs my arm to drag me into a room off to the side.
“MaCee, what are you doing here?” I jerk my arm away and glare up at him.
“I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing Lee?” He runs his hand through his hair and starts pacing the floor in front of me.
“I don’t want Mama to know I’m here, or what I’m doing. You know how she is, and I don’t need her trying to “make a better deal” for me. Mr. Able called last month and wants me to go into practice with him. He’s having some health issues and instead of working in Baton Rouge a couple more years as we had planned, he needs me to come now. He wants to show me the ropes before he retires.” I turn shocked eyes onto my brother. I thought he loved working and living in Baton Rouge, so this really surprises me.
“I’m stunned. I never dreamed you would move back home. I thought you were going to be this rich big-time city lawyer.” I sit on the sofa in the room and look up to him.
“No, I was always planning on coming home. I love it here, all that talk was just bullshitting to throw Mama off. I’ve been talking with Mr. Able since I was accepted into law school. I’m here today to finalize the deal. I have to give notice and close out or reassign my cases and then I’m moving back home.” Wonder how this is going to work out. Living with my mother hasn’t been that bad, but throw Lee in the mix, and I don’t know what will happen.
“When are you planning on informing our mother? Or were you just going to show up one day and yell out ‘Honey I’m Home!’” He grins at me.
“Actually, little brat, I was going to stop by on my way out of town and give her the good news.” Oh crap, I know Mama has a date with Dr. Estes tonight, and since I was going to Tyler’s she decided to have him over to the house. This is really going to screw up her plans. It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell Lee that might not be such a good idea when I remember my mother lying to me about her “spells” and her manipulation of my getting the grant to come home, so I smile and decide to let this play out. Damn, I would love to be a fly on the wall when this goes down.
“I’m sure she will be so excited. I have plans so I won’t be there. I’m glad you’re moving home, big brother. I’ve missed you. Now, I need to go so I’m not running late.” I lean up and kiss his cheek as I hurry out the door, not giving him time to quiz me on what I’m up too. I really don’t want to discuss my sex life with my older brother. It’s all fine and dandy for him to be a manwhore, but I don’t think he wants to think about his little sister having sex.
After I finish my shopping I drive out to Tyler’s and let myself in with his “hidden” key—it was under the welcome mat for God’s sake. I decide the key would look better on my ring than back under the mat where he had it. Besides, I’ve met his mother, and after tonight we’re moving our relationship to a new level, so it seems logical I would have a key. I prepare dinner and then go take a shower and change into the sundress I brought to wear along with my sexy underwear. I’ve set the table and placed fresh flowers in a vase I found under the sink. I brought candles, and they’re lit around the living room. The whole atmosphere screams, “We’re having sex tonight!”
Tyler should be getting home at any moment, and I’m feeling butterflies in my stomach. I almost convince myself to back out, then he walks through the door and now I can only think about how much I want this man. He’s wearing a suit or part of one, the tie and jacket are slung across one of his arms and holy cow, he looks hot.
“Damn, baby, something smells amazing. I could get used to coming home to this.” I hope he means me and not the dinner I just took out of the oven. I walk up to him, he grabs me and pulls me in close as we kiss slow and deep. I moan as I put my hands in his hair and pull him closer. Thank goodness, I took the casserole out of the oven. Dinner may have to wait.
“MaCee, I really hope this means what I think it does. When you called this morning it’s all I could think about, I barely got through the meetings I had.” I look up at him and nod. He then leans down and kisses me again. “I know you’ve probably worked hard on dinner, but could we please have dessert first? I don’t think I can wait any longer.”
I pull him down for another kiss, and he lifts me up, so I wrap my legs around his hips, and he begins walking to his bedroom. I can feel his hardness against my core—with every step he’s pushing against me. I cry out as he slams me against the wall in the living room. I’m gripping his shoulders and pressing into his hardness to feel more of him.
“Damn, baby … MaCee, I need you.” I moan as I feel his hand move down to touch my center. “So wet, I can’t wait.” I move my
hips against him, and he groans into my mouth. I feel him unbutton his pants and then I can feel the tip of his cock at my entrance as he pulls my underwear to the side. He hesitates, and I look up at him.
“I’m on the pill, and I trust you.” Normally I would never have sex without a condom, but with Tyler, I somehow know this is it. He’s the end game for me. That’s all the encouragement he needs and with one thrust. he fills me completely. I gasp into his mouth as he holds still until I adjust to his size. I knew from our fooling around he was large, but things are slightly different when they’re inside you. After a few seconds, I start wanting more and move to let him know. He’s gripping my ass and thrusting into me, and with every thrust, he rubs against me in just the right spot. The pleasure hits me like a tidal wave and I don’t believe I’ve ever orgasmed so fast. Maybe it’s because we waited, or the intense amount of sexual chemistry between us. I don’t know but it feels amazing.
I cry out his name as I splinter into pieces around his cock, and he gives me one more thrust before he stills and groans into my neck. I can’t move. I hold onto him for dear life as he pulls away from the wall. He’s still inside me as he begins walking to his room, and I can feel him hardening again.
“I have a long night planned for you, and it involves us eventually losing our clothes. “ He lays me on the bed without ever leaving me, and he’s hard again. I moan at the pleasure of him being inside me. I reach up and grab his shirt trying to unbutton it. I’m having trouble making my fingers work and only get a few undone before he reaches down to pull it over his head. I want to feel his skin against me. He continues to thrust inside me as he pulls my sundress off and looks down at me.
“I like the underwear baby, but it’s gotta go.” I arch up, and he undoes my bra and flings it over his shoulder. He leans forward and palms both my breasts causing me to arch up. He takes one of my nipples into his mouth and I moan with pleasure. I use my feet to push his pants down, and he pulls out causing me to whimper at the loss of him. He then pulls my panties off and sheds the rest of his clothes. I stare at him—damn he’s perfect. He has wide shoulders with nice biceps and a ripped abdomen that’s sporting an eight pack, a smooth chest with hair starting at his lower abdomen and going to his massive cock. He has a tapered waist and that V that makes my mouth water. Powerful legs and a tight butt that I want to grab onto and maybe take a bite out of.
He flips me over and pulls my hips up to him and rubs his cock against my entrance only to enter me fully from behind. I moan at the fullness and lean back into him to take more. He reaches around and begins to rub my clit, and I can’t stop—nor do I want to—the orgasm that barrels through me. I scream out with the pleasure and feel Tyler thrust hard into me as he shouts out his own pleasure. I fall forward and don’t want to move for the rest of the night. He falls beside me and pulls me to his side.
“I planned on worshiping your body all night, and it lasting longer than a red-hot minute.” He leans forward and kisses my forehead, I squeeze his waist thinking it was perfect. “I guess I waited too long because I wanted you too much to go slow.” I smile up at him. Dinner is forgotten for the moment as exhaustion takes over and I fall asleep thinking it was definitely worth the wait, but damn, we could have been enjoying each other this whole time.
Chapter Thirteen
Tyler
“Are you listening to me, Tyler? Earth to Tyler.”
I look down at the computer screen and grin at my business partner. He rolls his eyes and shakes his head at me. I’ve been distracted all morning, but who could blame me? My world was rocked last night by the best sex of my life and working on a new proposal is the last thing I feel like doing. My concentration is shit.
I woke up after a nap last night to a warm, sexy body curled up next to me. Then I proceeded to wake her with my mouth and man what a taste. Best thing ever. She came all over my face within minutes, then I made love to her slow like I wanted to the first time only was too horny to accomplish. I’m getting hard just thinking about it. We then headed to the kitchen and ate the amazing dinner she had cooked buck ass naked. Thank goodness it was one of those meals that could be reheated. We made love again after coming back to bed, I couldn’t seem to get enough of her. When she left this morning for work, I kept kissing her and trying to get her back into bed. She was almost late and sent me a text that she was going to spank my ass if she was. I kinda like that idea. Damn, I need to get my head back in the game but am having a really hard time doing it.
“Sorry man, after the meetings yesterday MaCee met me for dinner, and let’s just say I’m a bit distracted today.” Cash narrows his eyes on me and I brace for the interrogation. I don’t want him to rain on my parade, especially today while I’m still enjoying my afterglow.
“This chick seems to have you all kinds of tied up. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you this twisted up over a girl. Every time I talk to you it’s MaCee this, or MaCee said that. What’s the deal, Ty?” I know what he’s saying is true, but I can’t seem to stop myself. I really haven’t told Cash how deep I’m in, which is strange because I usually am very up front with him. We’ve been tight since college and are usually full disclosure with each other.
“I’m in deep Cash. I believe this girl is the one. Matter of fact, I’ve known since I met her she was special.” He stands and leaves the screen for a minute to come back with some coffee.
“I don’t know what to say about that. I mean I’m happy for you if that’s what you want. I don’t get it, but hey, it’s all good if you’re happy about it.” I know my friend, and he really means what he says. He’s happy for me, but he’s very cynical when it comes to love of any kind. He had some truly bad experiences in the past that really did a number on him, and it’s hard for him to get close to people. Luckily, we hit it off from the moment we met.
“Yeah, I’m happy and scared too. It’s strange, but I want this to work out.” I know I’m in for the long haul. I just hope MaCee feels the same way.
“I know I said I was calling about the new job, but actually I just wanted to talk to you about what’s going on with me.” This has my attention. Cash seems nervous and that’s very unusual because he’s never nervous. He wears his aloofness like a cloak.
“I put the house up for sale.” He looks away after he drops this bombshell.
“Wow! That’s shocking! I mean it’s good if that’s what you want. It’s what you want, right?” He nods. “I’ve believed you’ve needed to do that for a while. Change will be good for you.”
“And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. The house sold, it was gone almost immediately. I have to be out by the end of this month.” I look at him shocked. He hasn’t said a word about any of this. I’m not the only one keeping secrets.
“Well, that’s quick. Why haven’t you said anything?”
“I didn’t want you to talk me out of it. Mom’s been dead almost two years, and I’ve allowed my guilt to rule my life long enough.” He puts a hand up to stop me from interrupting. “I know you’re going to say I have nothing to feel guilty about, but you can’t stop feeling some things. Anyway, I’ve decided to make some changes and getting rid of this house is one of them.”
“I’m glad. If your mother would have been well she would have wanted you to move on, Cash. What’s your next move?”
“I was going to ask if you would mind me coming for a visit? You talk about that town, and I know this sounds wild coming from a city boy, but from what you’ve said it sounds amazing, and I want to come check it out. Also, I think it would be better for the company if we were together. It’s growing, and we both know we’re not going to be able to function in this capacity much longer. We’re going to have to set up offices and you seem to be putting down roots, I’m not, so it’s only logical I come to you.”
“Damn I’m stunned. Sure, you can come out for a visit and I know a great real esta
te agent who would love to help you relocate, matter of fact I’ll give her your information, so she can email you and start looking for properties. I believe you’ve made my day.” I know Hannah is more than capable of helping Cash. The only downside to him coming is the invasion of my privacy, and I just started having sex with MaCee. This may put a cramp in my style. I’ll just have to get Hannah started looking for properties as soon as possible.
“That went smoother than I thought possible. I’ll be there in three weeks if that’s cool?” Cash asks, and I can hear the worry in his voice.
“Hell yeah, sounds great. The spare bedroom hasn’t been remodeled, well most of the house hasn’t, but it’s in good shape just not modernized yet. At least I got the guest bathroom done last week before the family came in town.”
“Not a problem. I’m sure it’s great.” He sounds relieved and I wonder just how bad things are for him. We get back to discussing business, and once we finish I decide to go into town and see Hannah. I’m excited my best friend is moving here, and now I can stop worrying about what our next business move is going to be.
Before I leave to go see Hannah I decide to text MaCee and see if she wants to grab lunch. She replies Dr. Collins is in a meeting, and therefore she has an unexpectedly long lunch hour, so that would be awesome. We arrange to meet at the diner around noon.
Hannah is her usual sunshiny self as she greets me when I enter her office, but I see a different side of her when I tell her why I’m there. She goes from being sweet, innocent Hannah to a down-to-business, knows-her-shit Hannah. I’m impressed and see she really loves what she’s doing.
“What do you think your friend will be interested in? Is he going to want a house in a neighborhood or a piece of property?” Damn, girl gets down to business quick.
“Whoa, back up a step or two. I have no idea what Cash has in mind. He only told me today he was thinking of moving to the area. I want to give you his email and y’all can hash out the details. If he decides to actually settle here, we’ll probably be in the market for an office space, but that’s further down the road.” I give her the information and hope she can find him something he can’t resist. I want him here, but I also want him in his own place as soon as possible. The thought of him interfering with my MaCee time kind of worries me. So, sue me, I’m a selfish bastard when it comes to her.
