Fallen for You

by Carlie Sexton

  “Hello,” she said, surprised that someone was calling so late.

  “Hi, Kate. It’s Neil. Sorry to call so late. I was just hoping that you were free for lunch tomorrow. I can’t wait until Friday night to see you.”

  A larger than life smile spread across her face. “I don’t have any lunch plans for tomorrow. I’ll be done with class at 12:15. I could meet you,” she said.

  “How about lunch at Seaport Village? We could meet at the Harbor House.”

  “Sounds delicious. Will 1 o’clock work for you?”

  “That works. I’ll see you then, my beauty!”

  “See you then.”

  Kate pushed the end button and stared up at the ceiling. He had said that he couldn’t wait to see her. Joy spread through her body like a child unwrapping presents on Christmas morning. She drifted to sleep quickly, with Neil occupying her thoughts.

  Roger waited until he was certain that Kate and Charlie were sleeping. He crept into their apartment very quietly. His first stop was the bouquet. He turned on his flashlight and read the card. The flowers were from a man named Neil Statton. He wanted to take her to dinner. Roger knew what that meant. He was going to have to search the web to learn more about this guy. See what he could find out. He wasn’t going to let this guy get in the way of having Kate. He then made his way into her bedroom. He stood near her bed and watched her as she slumbered. He knew how to move in a stealthy manner. His military training had given him practice sneaking up on people. Moonlight shone in from the window in her bedroom, so he could see her form. His eyes had already adjusted to the darkness. He quickly realized that she slept in the nude, because he could see her bare arms and shoulders. Then he realized that one of her breasts was not completely covered by her sheets. He carefully pulled the sheet down to reveal both of her breasts. What a beautiful rack she had. He could feel the surge in his groin as he gawked at her ample bosom. He so wanted to bend down and wake her up by licking her nipples. But he knew she would freak out that he was in her apartment. At least that’s what happened when he had done this with a previous tenant at another complex he managed years ago. He had to play this right if he was going to get what he wanted. He didn’t just want to have sex with her. He wanted to possess her. He wanted her to be in love with him, fulfilling all of his desires. He couldn’t risk scaring her off. She was sleeping soundly and seemed dead to the world, but touching her was too much of a gamble. Looking at her perfect breasts made him swell in his pants. She must be at least D cup. He became as hard as steel. His heart was pounding faster. How he wanted to be inside her tight body, making her scream out his name as she came hard all around him.

  Kate stirred a little and turned over. Roger didn’t want to take the risk that she might wake up and see him or feel his presence. He quietly moved toward the door and let himself out. He decided to break one of the flowers in her bouquet before leaving her apartment. He really wanted to take the flowers and throw them out of the window. But, for now, all he could do was go back to his own apartment, back to Rose. She was sleeping in his bed. Getting Kate was going to take some finesse. For now, he could sneak in and see her any night that he wanted and she’d never know. He had the added bonus of knowing that she slept au natural. The next time he would pull the sheets down father and take a look at the rest of her body. He wanted to see her sweet slit. The spot that he had plans of invading. He was looking forward to that and so much more.

  When he slid into bed with Rose, he ran his fingers across her breasts, rousing her out of sleep. His hard-on was raging. He needed a release and she was right there in his bed. Rose turned over and opened her eyes slightly. She was somewhere between a dream and being awake.

  “Rose, I was dreaming about making love to you. What do you say?”

  “Anything you want, baby,” she responded. He could always count on her to be ready. Within seconds, he had his hand between her legs and was rubbing her clit. She began to purr and arch her back. He slid his finger in her to see if she was ready for his intrusion. As usual, she was wet and ready. It didn’t take much to stimulate her. He decided that he’d like her mouth on him before slipping in between her legs. He thrust himself up to her lips and she began licking his tip. She took him into her mouth and began sucking him. The feeling of her mouth was exquisite. He imagined that it was Kate licking, biting and sucking him. He closed his eyes to visualize his fantasy better. As Rose continued to swirl around him with her mouth, he came long and hard. He was so ready from having just seen Kate’s spectacular body. It also aroused him that he had watched her without her knowing. Rose swallowed. Roger collapsed on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

  Chapter 6

  Kate woke up feeling strange around 4 a.m. She had dreamt about someone touching her breasts. Licking them. Teasing them. Biting them. She was pulsing between her legs. Did she have an orgasm in her sleep? She had been dreaming about Neil. She couldn’t quite remember all of her dream though. It was hazy. All she knew was that she wanted him in the worst way. She turned over and tried to go back to sleep. It was difficult because she kept thinking about his body pressed against hers in their embrace as he said goodbye to her after coffee. She finally drifted back to sleep only to hear the alarm go off within what seemed like a few minutes. She got up and headed for the kitchen. Charlie was already up. She smelled the delicious aroma of coffee as she headed down the hall. Charlie was sitting with her cup at the dining room table admiring the flowers.

  “Good morning. How was your day yesterday? By the looks of these flowers, I think that it must have been interesting. Sorry I wasn’t up when you got home,” Charlie said cheerfully.

  “It was interesting to say the least.” Kate poured herself a cup of coffee, added cream and sugar, and then sat down next to Charlie. “I worked hard to ignore that good-looking guy Mark that I noticed the first day of school. I also had my mentor meet-and-greet after my classes that I told you about.”

  “Oh, yeah. How did that go?”

  “Well, Neil Statton, my mentor stood me up,” she said shaking her head.

  “That’s a bummer.”

  “It gets better. He proceeded to track me down at Nordie’s and he was seriously relentless. He sent me flowers, then came to the store to shop for baby clothes for his pregnant sister, and then insisted on buying me a coffee after work. We went to The Cheesecake Factory. At first his persistence was totally annoying,” Kate said sipping her coffee. “But by the end of our coffee date, I found it charming. His determination won me over. We have a lunch date today,” she said, relaxing in her chair.

  “It sounds like Neil is very interested in you,” Charlie said with a great big grin. “It’s about time you get out there again and have a life. David would want you to have a life,” Charlie said as she reached her hand out to touch Kate’s.

  “I know,” Kate whispered, too emotional to say anything else. “But something weird happened last night, too,” she said with concern.

  “Weird? What do you mean by weird?” Charlie asked.

  “Roger seemed to be waiting for me when I got home. He was upset that I was getting home so late. He said that he was worried about me. Then he questioned me about my flowers. It really startled me.”

  “Oh, I bet he just has a crush on you. It will probably go away. You have to realize that men are going to like you. Sounds like you had a banner day in the man department yesterday.”

  “You could say that. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I also have a date with Neil on Friday night as well. We’re going to PF Chang’s for dinner after I get off work. But I am really nervous about it. I have found myself imagining what it would be like to be with him. I dreamt about him last night. I don’t want to go too fast but I’m not sure how long I will be able to resist him. He is gorgeous and commanding,” Kate said. “Let me show you what I mean.”

  She got up to get her cell phone from her purse. She Googled Neil and then handed her phone to Charlie.

 
; “Yeah, I see what you mean,” Charlie said, gazing at his picture. “Well, if he has half a brain in his head, he will realize that you are worth the wait. You don’t have to do anything that you are not ready for. But do try to be open. This is really exciting, considering everything that has happened. You deserve to be happy,” Charlie said, still looking at Neil’s picture. Her eyes were riveted to the phone.

  “Thanks, Charlie. I really needed to hear that.”

  Charlie nodded. “You’re welcome. I’ve got to get going,” she said before putting the phone down. “I have a meeting at work this morning. I’ll see you tonight,” she said, reaching down to hug Kate.

  When Neil strolled into work, he had a spring in his step that had been missing for quite some time. The ridiculous grin plastered on his face got the attention of the other lawyers and assistants as he sauntered past them, saying his good mornings and wishing everyone a wonderful day. Kate had occupied all of his waking time since their coffee date. He couldn’t wait for their lunch date or for Friday night. He wanted to take her in and not let her go.

  “Good morning, Mr. Statton,” his assistant Laura said as she looked up at him from her desk.

  “Good Morning, Laura.”

  Neil entered his office, keeping the door open. That was Laura’s cue to come in. He sat down at his oversized desk and began rifling through the files that she had left for him. She peered her head in. “Can I get you some coffee?” she asked. Laura was always smiling at him. He knew that she liked him, but she was his assistant. He knew it wasn’t wise to screw around at work. His father had taught him that. She was smart, beautiful and sweet, but he never acted on his attraction for her.

  “Coffee would be great. I’ll take it in my father’s office,” he responded. Laura hurried to get the coffee. She was always eager to please her boss.

  Neil knocked before entering his dad’s office even though the door was open. “Good morning, dad.”

  “Good morning, Neil,” his dad said, glancing up from his work.

  Neil sat in one of the leather chairs across from his dad’s huge mahogany desk. “Dad, I’m just going to get straight to the point. I took our conversation from last week to heart. You were right.”

  “Well, that’s music to my ears. Which conversation was that, son?” he asked, looking over the top of his reading glasses.

  “You know, the one where you brought up the four F’s.”

  “Yes, that one,” his dad said knowingly, nodding his head. Just then Laura came in with the coffee.

  As she bent forward to hand him his coffee, Neil could see down her blouse to her lace bra. She sure did dress sexy for work. “Here you go, Mr. Statton. May I get you anything else?”

  “No, that will be all, Laura. Thanks,” he said dismissively, averting his eyes from her cleavage. Laura scampered back to her desk.

  “Now where were we, dad?”

  “You were bringing up the four F’s.”

  “Yes, I agree with you. My MO with women has been to find, fool, fuck, and forget. I have done this for years now. But I met someone that I think could be very special to me.”

  “Good, you’re 30 years old. It’s about time you met someone you could become serious with. Time to move on with your life and be a grown-up. Does this young lady have a name?”

  “Her name is Kate and I’m having lunch with her today. I also have a dinner date with her on Friday.”

  “Glad to hear it, son. I want you to be happy and have the life that you deserve. You have been alone for too long.” Neil’s father jotted a note on the file he was reviewing.

  “Thanks, dad. I appreciate your concern.”

  “Good. Now let’s get to work. We have a lot to accomplish today. The Thompson case has some new evidence that we need to go over before we meet with them. Have Laura get the file for you.”

  “Will do, dad.” Neil left his dad’s office and went back to his own. He buzzed Laura for the file. He also told her to clear his afternoon. He was planning on taking at least a two-hour lunch.

  ***

  As Kate got ready for school, her stomach was doing calisthenics. She got up a little early to spend extra time getting ready since she would leave school and go directly to Seaport Village. Why was she so excited to see Neil? She really liked him. She found him to be direct and very sincere. She felt safe when she was with him.

  She slipped into the cute outfit that she was going to wear on her lunch date. The outfit showed off her figure. It had been a long time since she had wanted to look good for a man. She didn’t just want to look good for him, she wanted to look hot for him. Meeting him had ignited her long-buried passion. She was starting to emerge from the cocoon she had wrapped herself in. She wanted to be a butterfly and experience life again.

  Entering her first class, she found a seat as far away from Mark as she could get. She did everything in her power to avoid eye contact with him. Why did she have to have every class with him? But damn if he didn’t look good in his jeans and the white polo shirt that covered his muscular form. He must have played football in high school. She felt her temperature rise a little just seeing him. He was so handsome. Just as handsome as Neil. They actually resembled each other quite a bit. She did her best to divert herself by reading through her notes, but they were the only ones in the classroom at the moment. He got up from his desk in one graceful motion and moved effortlessly to sit directly next to her. So far, she had managed to sit with several desks in between them all week. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as he spoke to her. His scent was an intoxication that she had not expected.

  “Good morning. Your name’s Kate, right? It looks like we had the same idea to get an early start today. I hope you don’t mind if I sit next to you. I’m Mark,” he said with his hand outreached. He flashed his best panty-bursting smile.

  She shook his hand. “Yeah, my name is Kate. You’re welcome to sit anywhere you like.” She wanted to sound nonchalant. All of the other girls threw themselves at Mark shamelessly, practically groping him and laughing at every word he uttered. She wasn’t going to do that. Under no circumstances was she willing to become one of his groupies. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of showing her attraction for him. But having him that close to her sure did cause a commotion in her panties. She tried not to squirm in her seat, but it was difficult considering what was happening down below. His gaze upon her was so intense.

  “It seems that we have all of the same classes together this semester. I am pretty sure that I have seen you in every class that I have.”

  “Do we? I hadn’t noticed,” she said, trying not to sound too enthralled with him. They did have all the same classes this semester and she knew it. It was hard not to notice him. He set all of her senses on high alert.

  “This is great! We should form a study group,” he said.

  “Great,” she responded, ignoring his request to study with him. As if she were being rescued, more students strolled into the classroom. The harem girls were arriving and began swarming all over him. She began to feel a twinge of jealously, but she wasn’t sure why. Today was the most that they had ever spoken to each other. Part of her was relieved that they had been interrupted. He seemed like way more than she could handle. But, then again, so did Neil.

  When her class ended, she scurried out abruptly, preventing Mark from having a chance to talk to her more. She was the only female student who didn’t fall all over him and she wanted to keep it that way. She was having a difficult time wrapping her mind around Neil without her focus being interrupted by Mark.

  In their second class, the professor had written “pop quiz” on the board. She figured he wanted to see if students were keeping up with the reading assignments. She had outlined some of the chapters listed on the syllabus before the semester had started. She took out her notebook and began to review her notes. As more students started showing up, the chatter began. It was a good distraction from her thoughts about Neil and Ma
rk. Just two days ago, she didn’t have any men to think about. Now, she had two gorgeous guys who were occupying her mind and causing stimulation in her body like a freight train that was about to jump the tracks.

  Mark sauntered in like a panther on the prowl. Unfortunately, most of the classmates around were guys, so she didn’t have the insulation of his harem. He flashed his dazzling smile. The smile that was making her weak in the knees. The panty-dropping smile probably worked for him every time he unleashed it. His confidence was unnerving and she didn’t know how to handle herself around him. Her only strategy was to use avoidance or be vague.

  “Hey, are you ready for the quiz?” he asked nonchalantly.

  “I’ve been looking over my notes, so I feel pretty good,” she said, running her fingers through her thick hair. She really didn’t want to engage in a conversation with him because he made her palms feel clammy and she had decided that he was about as good for her as eating an entire chocolate cake all by herself. Even though the thought seemed entirely delicious. Fortunately, their professor showed up and began passing out the quiz to the students who were already seated and then passed out the rest as the remaining students entered the room. He took attendance and told them to begin.

  Kate had a little bit of difficulty concentrating on her test. She couldn’t get Neil and Mark out of her mind. It had been an interesting turn of events since yesterday. As she brought her finished exam up to her professor, Mark got up at the same time. Had he watched and waited for her to finish? Maybe she had as much of an effect on him as he did on her. As they locked eyes, she felt the twinge to her insides again. Mark gave her his famous smile again. A smile she was sure he had laid on hundreds of girls before her with great success of pursuing his ultimate goal — a quick roll in the hay. She placed her exam in the tray on her professor’s desk. George looked up and nodded at her. She then turned and headed for the door not acknowledging Mark. But he was right behind her. She could feel his piercing green eyes burrowing into the back of her head. She had a feeling that he would attempt to talk to her again in the hall. Up until now, she had been able to avoid being close to him except for in class. Resisting his charms may prove to be an insurmountable task considering that he made her blood race through her veins.
