Lucky in Love

by Bishop, K. M.

  I resist the urge to roll my eyes. So, she’s one of those. I should have guessed. Of course she would all of a sudden be interested in me because of my father’s billionaire business. It isn’t anything to do with me at all. The money isn’t even mine and I get gold diggers. One with their eyes on the future, I presume, seeing the day when I will inherit it all. Right now, I just work for the company, and yes, I get a ton of money for what I do, but I’m quickly learning that it can’t make me happy. It isn’t meaningful, and I need something meaningful.

  “Right, well, I still need to leave, so if you would please let me go…”

  “Wy are you acting like this?” Kayla’s hands fly to her hips like she hasn’t ever been rejected before. Maybe she hasn’t and that’s what her problem is. “What the hell is wrong with you? Just talk to me?”

  “I don’t want to talk to you, Kayla. Just like you never had the time of day for me in school. You never had a crush on me, and I never liked you either. You don’t get to start talking to me now because you think I can buy you diamonds. That isn’t ever going to be the case because you don’t deserve them from me.”

  She looks shell shocked as I walk away and I do feel a little mean, but she wasn’t getting the hint otherwise. She didn’t understand that I just have nothing to say to her, so I had to be blunt. I shake that guilt and continue walking towards Natasha who is the only person who I have any time for. The person I came here to find again.

  I lock my eyes upon her and my heart leaps up into my throat. She is pointedly looking away from me, she doesn’t want to see me just yet, but that’s okay. She will. I’m confident in the idea that once I explain what happened, filling in the bits that she isn’t aware of, we can get things back on track again. I feel like we can probably pick up where things left off and happily fall in love. I haven’t closed the chapter in England just in case, but I will if she wants to. I’m willing to leave it all behind to have my Natasha back.

  “Hi,” I say softly as I rest my hand on the small of her back. “Long time no see.”

  She jumps and spins around, looking at me with shock and horror in her eyes. “Er… erm… I…”

  I can’t help but laugh. She doesn’t seem like the cool, confident Natasha that I left behind. But I suppose this meeting is much more of a shock to her than it is to me. I just hoped that she was going to be here. She had no idea.

  “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” I smile brightly. “I was just in the neighborhood and thought I might swing by. See how some of the old gang are doing, that sort of thing. You know how it is.”

  “In the neighborhood? But don’t you…?” She shoots me a disbelieving look. “You aren’t here anymore.”

  “I haven’t been, but I am for the time being. I’m not too sure what my future holds.”

  “No?” She leans her back against the wall as if she needs it to keep her upright. “Why not?”

  “Well, I’ve been living with my father for years now, working for his new company, but I thought that it might be time to reconnect with my mother. After all, we didn’t exactly leave on the best of terms. I don’t think I fully understood her reasoning at the time because I was young, but now… well I want things to be different.”

  She nods and I watch her gulp nervously. “Yes, I see your mom from time to time. She is looking much better these days. I think… yes and I think that a visit from you will do her a lot of good.”

  I hope that she’s talking about herself as well. I really hope that it’s a good thing I’m back. To be honest, I haven’t even considered a scenario where it won’t be. I never considered that she might be with someone and happy or that she might hate me so much for leaving her that she wants me gone.

  I don’t know if there is anything still there between us on her end, but for me it’s sizzling like crazy. I can almost feel her body back on top of mine, grazing over me, sending me absolutely wild. My cock yearns for her, wanting to be inside her already, to finally finish off that night. But I can’t get ahead of myself yet…

  “So, how are things here?” I ask. “Aside from my mom that is?”

  “Erm, yeah all is good.” She nods slowly. “I’m not working in the diner…”

  “The diner? You are?” I can’t hide my surprise. “I thought you would be…”

  “Doing something better?” Her lips turn down in to a scowl. “So did everyone else.”

  I can tell that there’s a story there, but I don’t think that I should push it. I’m not sure why, but I feel like this might be my fault somehow. Maybe it is since I vanished in the middle of the night just before the exams. I really hope that didn’t affect her grades and everything… god, I never really thought about it. That isn’t good.

  I have so much to make up for. More than I knew. I wonder if I would have come if I’d known…

  But I don’t think that this is the time or place to get into that kind of conversation. However much I want to, I need to be smart and think about doing the right thing for Natasha too and taking things slow. She might not be willing to jump in to this head first and see if we sink or swim like I am.

  “Do you like your job? I mean, is it making you happy and everything?”

  She shrugs her shoulders, giving me nothing. Her eyes scan over the top of me and I follow her eye line to see her friend from school, Tara, wrapped around her boyfriend from school.

  “Are Tara and Freddie still together?” I gasp. “Wow, they made that last a long time.”

  “Together is a strong way to put it.” Natasha’s eyes almost roll to the back of her head. “But they hook up a lot. They are still like horny teenagers and now that they’re together, I won’t see her all night long.”

  “I guess you’re stuck with me then…” I joke but it doesn’t land. “I mean, if you want…”

  “I’m not against spending time with you,” she finally says, which to my ears sounds as good as if she had just told me that she’s in love with me. “But I don’t really feel comfortable here. I’m not really into the whole ‘reunion’ thing. The people that we lost touch with after high school left our lives for a reason. Is there any point in trying to get that friendship back when you’re a completely different person these days…?”

  She trails off as she realizes what she’s just said and how it applies to the two of us. I get it, I know what she means. We are all very different, I include myself in that, but that doesn’t matter. If there is still something there between us, then I don’t see any issue in trying to give it a go. It can only go one way or the other, can’t it? There is only one way to find out…

  Chapter Three

  Natasha

  What am I doing? I think desperately to myself as I leave the party with Tony by my side. I honestly have no idea what I’m playing at. It’s almost like I have absolutely no control over myself anymore and that I’m just a slave to the emotions, following them to wherever the hell they want me to go… and right now, they want me to follow this intense heat between me and Tony. The feelings that are more like a teenage crush than it was when we were actually teenagers and falling in love. My feet are barely touching the ground as I walk.

  Yep, this is definitely why my virginity remains intact, because I’ve been missing this.

  As we walk, with no idea where we’re actually going, I sense Tony darting glances my way. Or maybe I can feel them so well because I’m doing the same to him. I need to see him to check that he’s real and I haven’t just lost my mind, but also because I need to see the parts of him that have changed and grown up. He really is so freaking gorgeous now, it’s a challenge to look at him, and even harder to look away.

  “Come here,” he suddenly says in a husky voice, grabbing me around by the hip and pulling me down the nearby alley way. As my back slams against the wall, Tony steals my breath away. “You’re so…”

  As he bites down on his bottom lip and runs his eyes lustfully up and down me, I shiver hard. He was always confident, cool with his sexuali
ty, but now he’s even more powerful and that’s so sexy it creates a puddle between my thighs. My knees turn to jelly, my heart races. I’m a mess. I need him right now.

  “Mmm, you are too,” I reply in a whisper. “Even more so now that you’re older.”

  His hands lightly graze up my legs, skimming the hem line of my little black dress as he does. I gasp, goose bumps pop up and down me, flames lick all over me. I might as well be naked.

  I push myself up right onto my tip toes and brush my nose against his, loving the way a little moan flies out of his mouth as I do. Our lips are close now, my whole mouth tingles with the memory of what it used to be like to kiss this amazing man. I can’t believe that it’s been such a long time. The anticipation circles through me, it’s tingling and fizzing like space dust, causing my hands to stretch forward to circle around his neck.

  Our lips crash together hard and fast like magnets have pulled us together. Instantly, it’s as natural as breathing air. Our lips move in harmony, knowing one another so well, our rhythm is perfect without trying. As his fingers itch down passed my butt and lightly graze the outline of my cotton panties, I swell up with love.

  I think I have always been in love with Tony. Not just puppy teenage love but the real thing, and that has never subsided. My life was simply put on pause until this moment when he was back again for real.

  “I have a room,” he gasps against my lips as his fingers eagerly brush over me. The material is frustrating, it’s right in the way, but he hasn’t yet pushed it to one side. “In the hotel. It isn’t far from here. Shall we go?”

  I don’t answer him right away because my head lolls to one side with bliss and my eyes fall closed. The nearer he gets to getting inside my panties, the more I crumble. If he wants me to go anywhere with him then he’s going to have to carry me there if he keeps making me feel this way. His fingers caressing me, his lips kissing, his tongue licking, his lips sucking, claiming me for his own. I love the feeling so much it hurts.

  I gasp, I whisper out his name like it’s a prayer, and I feel myself sliding under the waters of bliss, drowning in heaven. It doesn’t matter where we are, that we’re outside where anyone could find us. This certainly isn’t the fairy tale experience that we almost had together when we were teenagers, but that doesn’t matter. It feels so incredible that I just don’t want it to end. No matter what happens. No more interruptions.

  “I want you,” he growls against my ear lobe. “Please come back with me.”

  I press my foot against the wall and part my thighs further. His fingers automatically fall inside my panties then, I get exactly what I want, and fucking hell it sends my head spinning into space. He feels so good as he circles over my clit and plunges in deep. His velvety fingers are like magic, grazing over all the right places.

  “Oh fuck, Tony.” I grip on to his head, clinging to his hair for comfort. Somehow, him touching me is so much better than me touching myself. “Fucking hell, Tony… Tony, I want you so bad…”

  “So, you’ll come back with me?” I can feel my shoulder pinking where he’s sucking me.

  “I will. I’ll come back with you. Take me… take me, please.”

  He slides his hand away from me, leaving me cold and alone for just a minute, but then he grabs my hand instead. He pulls me and we end up running along the road, giggling like kids. I feel so happy and care free which is nothing like the way that I have spent the past few years. I think I really have put everything on hold until Tony’s return because right now I am more me than I knew possible.

  “Ooh, you’re staying here?” I cock an eyebrow at him as I see the most posh hotel in town towering above us. “You’ve gone up in the world a little bit, haven’t you? Look at this fancy ass place!”

  I hoped that didn’t sound like I meant something more by it, like I gave a shit if he was rich or not, because that made absolutely no difference to me. I only cared about him… he was the only one for me.

  “Come on. Come into my room with me.” He grabbed my hand and tugged me up the stairs. “It’s nice, I think you might like it. The bed is so comfy that it’s to die for. I can’t wait to lay you right across it.”

  I shudder at the thought, the excitement building and throbbing between my legs. I didn’t care if the bed was a freaking piece of cardboard laid on the floor. I was going to let him ravish me no matter what…

  Oh wow. I don’t have a chance to look around the room anyway, because as soon as I step inside, Tony scoops me up in his arms and he begins kissing me even more passionately than before, if that’s even possible. I can really feel the lust bursting free from his lips which melts me. I literally feel myself fall apart in his arms.

  “See?” Tony lifts me from the floor and flops me on the bed, just as promised. “Told you it was amazing.”

  “Mmm, this is gorgeous.” I writhe around on the plush mattress, my dress sliding up my body as I do. I can tell from the way that Tony gasps with need he likes what he sees. It feels to me like my body has changed a lot in the last three years, but all of that dissipates as he runs his gaze over me. “I could stay here forever.”

  Tony grabs onto my calves and slides his hands up my legs as he climbs on me to hover over me. His fingers run up my hips as his eyes lock with mine and he presses his forehead against me. The moment is déjà vu, it takes me back to the beautiful time we shared before when our lives lay ahead of us.

  We’re still young but it doesn’t feel like we have quite as many options as before. I’m stuck in my job at the diner, if I’m honest with myself I can’t see a way out, and I don’t really know what’s happening with Tony, where he’s going to live, who he’s going to be… but I don’t worry about anything. Only him, me, and this moment.

  I trace my hands down his chest, loving the hardness of his muscles as I go. I was right in my assumption that he’s been working out. These definitely weren’t here before… and they feel good.

  “Ooh wow,” he gushes as I fiddle with his zipper. He must be able to sense me brushing against him because I don’t even need to pull him free to know how rock hard he is, how loudly his body sings for mine.

  With a glint in my eyes and a small smirk playing on my lips, I pull him out and stroke him a couple of times, but I can already see that this is too much for him. My touch is shooting him too close to the edge already and the last thing either of us want is for something to stop him from filling me up at last.

  “I want you,” I whisper as his hungry fingers yank my panties. He doesn’t just want to pull them to the side, he wants them gone, and so do I. When I feel this for the very first time, I want to really feel him. I wriggle, allowing him to pull them passed my feet, and as soon as the cool air tickles my soaking slit, I can hardly stand it. It might not have been my choice, but I’m so glad I held on to my virginity until now. This is right.

  “Oh fuck.” His cock is there, teasing my entrance, wanting more. I arch my back, rolling my hips towards him, using every inch of me to beg for more, but he’s waiting, giving me a moment, letting me adjust. In a way, it’s almost as if he knows that I don’t have the right experience and he’s silently asking for permission.

  I nod sharply and he slides into me. His movements are slow and gentle, giving me a moment to stretch right around him. I squeeze my eyes closed and bite down on my bottom lip to keep the screams inside. It stings a bit, I guess I always knew that it would, but it’s a nice kind of pain because it’s with Tony.

  “Oh, Tony,” I moan while digging my nails into his shoulders. “This feels so… so… good.”

  His thrusts start slow and careful. His eyes fix on mine the entire time while he checks on me, and it isn’t long before I need more. I want him to really take me, I want the whole experience, so I slam against him, silently begging him for more. Thank god he gives me exactly what I need, his skin, now slick with sweat, banging hard against mine, the echo of our bodies flooding the room and sending my head spinning, my whole body pounding, my thoughts
shutting down so all I can do is feel the buzzing, fizzing, heat filled sensations…

  Then I fall. I tumble hard into the wonderful burning hot abyss. I don’t even know it’s coming until it hits me hard, knocking the air from my chest. The pleasure is different to what I give myself, there’s something more intense and consuming about it. The bond it builds as well… as the pleasure rolls over me again and again in waves, the only person that I’m aware of is Tony.

  I have finally lost my virginity to the man that I love, and it feels fucking incredible. I never want it to end…

  Chapter Four

  Tony

  The unwelcome morning light streams in through the bedroom window, disturbing me from the most amazing dream that I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t remember the exact details of the dream, only that it’s making me feel so damn good that I don’t want to wake up from it, however comfy this bed is…

  Wait! As the sensations flood my body, I realize that I’m not alone. There is someone beside me. This isn’t the first time that I have woken up with someone by my side, but there’s the knowledge somewhere in my foggy brain that this is different. That I need to get my ass in gear because the person beside me is someone special.

  As I tilt my head ever so slightly and spot the person beside me; my entire body heats up with sheer joy. Of course! Last night went exactly to plan and it’s Natasha here in bed with me. I went to Kayla’s party on the small chance that this might happen, and I have everything I want and more. We finally picked up where things left off and we got the moment that was stolen away from me by my parents all those years ago.

  I turn right on to my side and gently brush the raven hair from her face as I watch her sleep. Breathing softly in and out causing her chest to rise and fall, looking like an angel. Even though her stunning gray eyes, which are one of my favorite things about her, are closed, she still looks like a princess.
