Touched By You (The Touch Series)

by t. h. snyder

  Chloe giggles in my ear and pulls her arms in closer around my neck. I pick up my walking pace and hurry back to our bedroom and connecting bathroom. I’m going to make this shower a quick one because I plan on enjoying her for the rest of the day in our bed.

  The past two years have been a little chaotic to say the least. Between Derrick busting his ass with classes, working more than part time at a local law firm and me traveling around to cover the Red Sox’s season we barely have time to breathe. So what else do we do? The two crazy nuts we are decide to buy a house. It seems like a logical investment for us both. We love living in the Boston area and feel it’s only smart to buy as opposed to throwing away our money on the condo every month.

  We’ve looked around for a few months but nothing really caught our attention until we saw this one. This house caught both of our eyes. It’s in a new development a few miles outside the city of Boston so our commutes are not too long. The structure of the house is two stories with a full finished basement. The basement has three rooms and bathroom, which is perfect for me to have an office downstairs and Derrick to have his man cave. On the first floor there’s a living room, dining room, kitchen and half bath. The second floor has three bedrooms rather than just two which works for when we need the extra space. The house sits on a quarter acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Everything about this house screams home to both Derrick and I.

  I take a seat at the breakfast nook and let out a deep sigh, finally we’re settled and the last of the boxes have been taken out to the garage. Taking a sip of my wine I glance at my watch. Hmm, it’s 9:30. I better get started on a few things before Derrick gets home. For the past week I have done my best to get this house organized while Derrick is working some late nights at the firm. I give him all the credit in the world. I really don’t know how he has the energy to do everything he does and then come home and work some more. After school is all said and done I know it will all have been worth it to him, but in the meantime I feel like he’s going to burn out.

  He should be home any minute so I place his already prepared dinner in the microwave and pull out a bottle of beer. After setting the table for him I set a place for myself just so he doesn’t have to eat alone. Our time together has been pretty limited over the past few months, but we still make up for it with the time we do have to spend together.

  I hear the garage door open and suddenly feel a bit giddy. Derrick still has a way of making me act like a love sick school girl when he’s near me. I don’t think I’ll ever lose that feeling. He really is the best guy and I’m lucky as hell that he’s stuck by me for the past few years.

  Derrick comes in the house and tosses his briefcase on the living room chair. I watch as he walks around the room inching toward the kitchen. He looks absolutely gorgeous wearing a button down blue dress shirt that fits his toned body perfectly and a nice pair of khaki pants. As he approaches the kitchen he runs his hand through his perfectly styled hair and catches me staring at him. The color of the shirt makes his baby blue eyes stand out like crazy. He comes closer to me with a big smile on his face.

  “There’s my Angel. How was your day Chloe?” He asks pulling me into his embrace.

  He smells like clean laundry, a mixture of his scented cologne and body wash. Mmm I love the way he smells.

  “Hey love, my day was boring. But now you’re here so it’s much better.” I say with a smile and a kiss to his lips.

  “Yeah, I agree the day just got a hundred times better when I pulled into the driveway and saw you were home.”

  Derrick returns my kiss and walks us back up against the fridge while running his hands up and down my back finally grabbing onto my ass.

  “Yes much better indeed.” He says with a smirk.

  I kiss him again on the lips and then move over to the microwave that is now beeping.

  “I heated dinner for you. Why don’t you take a seat in the dining room and I’ll bring everything in for you? Do you have a lot of work to do tonight?”

  “Thanks Chloe. No actually I didn’t have any work to bring home tonight. I was hoping to just spend the night with you.”

  I bring out his plate of food and the bottle of beer setting it down in front of him. He grabs onto my hips and positions me into his lap. He moves my hair to the side so that he has better access to my neck and begins to pepper kisses at my collar bone, along my jaw and turning my face he kisses my lips.

  “How about I skip dinner and we head to the bedroom for some dessert?” I giggle in his neck and twitch in his lap. I can feel he’s more than ready to move onto the dessert course of the evening, but this poor guy has to eat dinner too.

  “As much as I want to get to bed with you, I still want you to eat your dinner. Then we can get to dessert. Deal?” I ask kissing the tip of his nose.

  “Yes!” He shouts and shoves me off his lap.

  I laugh at the crazy that is Derrick as he shovels forkfuls of noodles into his mouth. I really do love this man. I continue to watch him plow through his dinner and sit next to him sipping my wine.

  Today has been a long and stressful day. Not like the last two years haven’t, but today especially has been one of those days.

  I can’t help but feel a little nervous to get home tonight. Never in the time we’ve been together have I kept something from Chloe, but this…this I have to try my best to keep a secret, at least for another few months. Once law school is over I’ll do it. I’ll be able to tell her everything.

  The knot in my stomach is growing the closer I get to the house. Ugh, our house. Yes the house we just bought together. This is the place I envision spending the rest of my life with Chloe and where we will start building a family. I met with someone today and the choice I made will change things forever. It will change where Chloe and I stand and where we’ve been for the past few years

  I’m only a few minutes from home and I know I need to pull my shit together. The past two years have been hard on both of us and I don’t need to bring in more drama to the table. In less than six months I’ll be graduating from Harvard Law, pass the Massachusetts bar and be brought on full time at the Jax & Paige law firm. Yeah this is all going to work out, no doubt.

  I pull into the driveway and Chloe’s car is already in the garage. I haven’t spoken to her since this morning, but I assumed she would still be at the studio finishing the segment from tonight’s game.

  Walking into the house I toss my briefcase onto the leather chair in the living room and make my way toward the kitchen. My head is pounding and I attempt to relieve some tension by running my hands through my hair. I can smell spaghetti in the air and hear the microwave running. So sweet, Chloe saved me dinner. Not like it really surprises me she’s been doing this a lot for me lately.

  My gaze shifts from the floor up to the sexiest pair of legs, then up to her tits and finally landing on those beautiful brown eyes. A smile splits my face and all other worries from a few moments ago are gone. Chloe helps to calm me. She makes me feel like nothing in this world exists other than the two of us. I love her more than anything and one day she’ll be all mine.

  I pull Chloe into my arms and a sense of warmth and love take over my body. Being with her simply relaxes me and thank god tonight I don’t have work to do before bed. Tonight is just going to be me and my girl.

  Chloe brings me my dinner and a beer out to the dining room and I pull her into my lap. I smell her sweet scent of mango and begin to kiss her. I love having her close to me and I can’t get enough of my lips on her skin.

  As I play around with her, only really arousing myself, she makes a deal with me that if I eat my dinner like a good boy I can have her for dessert later. I’m all up for the challenge. I push her off of my lap and go to town eating the spaghetti on my plate. Chloe laughs at me, and shakes her head. But deep down I know she loves it.

  Once I have finally finished dinner I clean up my dishes and pull Chloe up from her chair in the dining room.

  “I’m ready
for my desserts now love.” I say taking a nip of her bottom lip.

  “Dear god Derrick, after you ate all that how could you possibly have room for dessert?”

  “Oh I have plenty of room for the kind of desserts I have in mind.”

  She giggles and allows me to lead her through our house and into our bedroom. I’m shocked when I enter our room.

  “Shit Chloe! When did you do all this?” I look around our bedroom and see a completely different site than what I had left this morning.

  Chloe has decorated our bedroom into a tranquil room for us to relax in after a tiring day at work. The black, white and blue colors are so vibrant and they blend so well with the dark furniture we chose to buy the other day.

  I look her in the eyes and she has a smile on her face. She looks pleased with herself.

  “Yep.” She replies.

  “When did you have the time to finish unpacking the room? It looks great.” I ask.

  When I left this morning, our room was still full of boxes and we were sleeping on the mattresses piled on the floor. Now it looks as though someone came in and completely redesigned our room after going through our moving boxes.

  She hops onto our king size sleigh bed and pats the mattress down beside her for me to come and sit. I follow her gesture and hop myself right down next to her.

  “I had mom and dad come over after work today to help me. I wanted to surprise you. Our room was the last room to be unpacked and since you’ve been coming home exhausted every day, I wanted to do this for you.”

  I grab her face in my hands and kiss her hard on the lips. I don’t need the world. I surely don’t need materialistic things. But the things that this girl does for me make me so happy.

  “Thank you Chloe. It looks amazing in here. I don’t want to go all girly on you but really I love what you have done with this room. It feels so peaceful and calming. The colors are perfect to help me relax after a rough day at school and work. I love you Angel, thank you.”

  “You’re welcome Derrick. Now why don’t I help you get out of that shirt and pants? Then you can really show me how much you appreciate my work today.”

  “I’m all yours love, do your worst.” I say standing with my hands raised in the air.

  She can have me anyway she wants me, her wish is my command.

  “Oh I will. Come here lover boy.” She says pulling at the waist of my pants pulling me down onto the bed.

  Today is one of the most important days of Derrick’s life and I couldn’t be more proud of him. After the past three years and the sleepless nights he’s finally graduating from Harvard Law. Oh, only if Papa were here to see him walk across that stage today. I know he’s watching Derrick every day and he’s more than proud of the man he has become, but today is their day.

  In celebration of this day, I invited my family as well as Rose and Bud over for breakfast. I thought it would be a nice idea to have us all here together in our home before heading over to Cambridge for his commencement.

  Looking over at the clock I still have an hour before everyone arrives and Derrick should be back from his run any minute. I quickly set out some last minute things and then make my way back to our bedroom to get ready.

  I have already laid out my outfit for today along with my jewelry and shoes. Since the main color of Harvard is crimson red, I thought it was fitting to purchase a dress that would match for some school spirit. Beside my dress I have set out Derrick’s suit, dress shirt, tie and his graduation gown. As I stare down at our items a tear runs down my cheek.

  My heart begins to break as I realize what I have to tell Derrick today. I have wanted to talk to him about this for the past three weeks, but I have a decision to make. I know I should have talked to him about this before today, but it never seemed to be the right time. Now of all days I have to tell him that our lives are about to change. Not only is he graduating from law school, but I too have received an opportunity of a lifetime that I just cannot refuse.

  I wipe the tears from my cheeks that are now pouring out of my eyes and head into the bathroom. The bathroom begins to steam up and I enter the shower and hurry to clean myself so that I can get ready before our families come. Today is Derrick’s day and I promise not to ruin it until the very last minute. I may be the worst girlfriend in the world after today, but that is a risk I have to take. Chances like this only come once a lifetime.

  The bathroom door opens and I can see Derrick through the glass shower doors. He strips his running gear off and pulls down two towels for us setting them on the hooks next to the shower. He slides open the shower door and moves in behind me.

  “You don’t mind do you?” He asks.

  I try to pull myself together. He can’t know that I’ve been crying.

  “Of course I don’t mind, actually I was hoping you would come in to wash my back.”

  “Perfect timing then, huh?”

  “Yes, you are perfect Derrick.”

  “Awe Angel, come here. Let me love you.”

  Derrick turns me to face him, but I can’t seem to open my eyes for fear that the tears will pour out and I’ll have no choice but to tell him now. He brings his lips to mine and we begin to explore one another in the most sensual way. Derrick nips at my lip and licks his tongue to my ear lobe. He places a kiss to my collar bone and then takes both of my breasts in his hands. Massaging them ever so gently he licks my nipples one at a time till both are pebbled from my arousal. This man’s touch does things to my mind and body. I can’t get enough of him.

  My leg is lifted and placed on the stool within the tile shower. Derrick kneels down in front of me and fits his head between my legs. My body becomes weak and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep my stance for much longer. Derrick sweeps his arm around my waist to support me while his other hand is slowly inserting two fingers into my aching pussy. He licks at my clit while fingering me until I’m swept away with my orgasm.

  “That’s it Angel, let it all go.”

  His words push me to the edge and I’m overwhelmed with the warmth that spreads through my body.

  Derrick carefully stands and brings his other arm around to my waist lifting me against the tile wall. I wrap my legs around him as he slides his length between my wet folds. I finally open my eyes and stare into his baby blues. I pump myself up and down his shaft while he bites his lip feeling the rhythm we are creating. The water is spraying down onto our bodies and we’re becoming a slippery mix of love and lust. The way he makes me feel is like nothing I ever want to rid myself of….ever.

  I can feel myself falling toward another orgasm and Derrick clenches my ass cheeks while lifting me up and down onto him.

  “Fuck Chloe you feel so good.”

  “Derrick.”

  With a few more strokes up and down his erection we are both falling to the shower floor in a heap of spent energy.

  “I love you Chloe.”

  “I love you too Derrick. Happy graduation day.”

  We both laugh and try to stand with week limbs. Managing to continue our shower we wash one another and help to rinse any excess soap from our bodies. I follow Derrick out of the shower and into the bedroom. Together we help each other dress. We pay extra special attention to our hands on the other’s body. I know today is a special day for him, but for some reason I feel like every look, each touch and all his words have an important meaning behind them.

  Something seems different and I hope it’s not me feeling insecure about what I need to talk to him about tonight.

  I set my alarm a little earlier for today. It isn’t everyday you graduate from law school and propose to the love of your life. My mind and body are in desperate need of at least a hard five mile run. I just need to make sure I can get it in before the family comes over for breakfast.

  While on my run my thoughts are going in a million directions. There’s no doubt in my mind what her answer will be, but still I want to make sure everything about tonight is perfect. I must have gone over this plan a
dozen times since I woke this morning. Everything has to be just right.

  Rounding the corner into our development I can feel a cheesy grin cross my face. If anyone were to see me right now they would think I’d lost my mind. I hurry into the driveway and type in the combination to the garage. Tossing my running sneakers onto the shelf, I close the door and make my way upstairs to our room.

  I can hear the water running in the shower and quickly make my way in to join her. I don’t know why, but I ask if it’s okay that I join her. I sure as hell am glad I did. Chloe and I have the hottest shower sex ever. I just can’t wait till tonight to do it all over again and make love to her as my fiancé.

  We help one another dry off and move into the bedroom. Chloe has laid out our clothes for the day and I see that she’s wearing a crimson red dress. She’s going to look hot as hell wearing this and I’m proud to show her off as my girl. Once she has on her bra, panties and pantyhose I help her put on the dress and pull the zipper up in the back for her. She turns around for me to see her in the full get up and that does it. She just takes my breath away. I can’t believe in only a few hours she will be my fiancée.

  “You look beautiful Angel.” I tell her.

  “Thank you Derrick.” She says with a blush.

  I bring her in for a kiss and then the doorbell rings.

  “Great timing.” I say with a pout.

  Chloe laughs and kisses me on the lips. She puts on her shoes and heads down the hallway. I hear the voices of my parents and figure I better hurry up and get ready.

  By the time I make it downstairs the dining room and living room are filled with our families and the smell of breakfast.

  “Congrats to the grad!” Charlie shouts and comes over to give me a hug.

  “Thanks Charlie.”I say returning the tight squeeze.

  I continue to make my rounds to the rest of our company giving hugs, kisses and accepting the praise of the family. Today is going to have my nerves tied up in knots. Not only am I accepting a diploma for my Juris Doctorate, but I’m fucking proposing tonight. Both of our families are in on the surprise and I’m hoping they’ve kept their mouths shut. I want this to be a surprise. I want this night to sweep her off of her feet. I only get one chance at this and I don’t want anything to screw it up for us.
