The One who got Away_A Second Chance Romance

by Mia Ford

  “You don’t get what?”

  “You meet a guy at a bar, you sleep with him, then you spend the whole next day with him,” she said as if it were a question and a statement at the same time.

  “Yeah, and?”

  “And, are you kidding me? And you don’t even know what he does for a living,” she said. “He lives in the most luxurious and expensive place in the city, goes to Exposé on the weekends, and you didn’t think to ask what he did? He could totally be in the mob or like someone who extorts money from people.”

  “No,” I said shaking my head. “I’m sure he owns a company or something.”

  “So, when are you going back out with this guy?”

  “I don’t know,” I sighed. “Whenever he calls and asks me out, I guess.”

  “Mmmm,” she said looking down at her watch and packing up the food. “We have a ten o’clock appointment at the nail salon. We gotta go.”

  We left Marie’s in a hurry with me almost spilling coffee all over myself as I ran for the cab. We were always doing that, getting caught up in conversations and then having to rush to whatever appointment we had. I honestly forgot all about the nail appointment since I usually never paid to get a manicure. I knew that Lisa enjoyed it, it was her break from having to do anything but focus on herself. She was a professor at New York University, and her days, and nights, were always filled with student and faculty issues. She was the youngest tenured professor in the history of NYU, but to get that title, she had to seriously kick some ass and put in the time.

  When we arrived at the nail salon, we picked out our colors and were seated next to each other. The woman behind the desk pulled on my hand and turned the lights on it, starting the manicure. Lisa sat next to me smiling at her tech, who happened to be an attractive guy, who also happened to be wearing a Gay Pride T-shirt from that year’s parade. When he walked away, I pointed it out to Lisa, and she got pouty quickly.

  “So, what does this mystery man look like?”

  “He’s tall, tan, extremely muscular, with dark hair and blue eyes,” I said. “Like drop dead gorgeous.”

  “When you say extremely muscular do you mean like a sexy built guy, or like muscles so big the veins pop out, and you can see the blood circulating?”

  “Ew,” I laughed. “I mean like sexy built guy. Like Channing Tatum body.”

  “Nice,” she said. “Well, I guess you owe me then.”

  “For what?”

  “For helping you find this guy,” she said.

  “You had nothing to do with me finding him,” I laughed.

  “On the contrary,” she said in her professor's voice. “I set you up on a date.

  “A miserable failure,” I added.

  “Still, if it wasn’t for that you wouldn’t have ended up at Exposé’s bar, and thus you would not have met Mr. Sexy Eyes.”

  “You are stretching it,” I said with no expression.

  “Whatever,” she sang. “You are welcome unless he turns out to be a douche bag then it’s all your fault.”

  “Of course,” I laughed.

  We spent the rest of our manicures arguing over who was responsible for me meeting Nathan. Finally, I conceded and let her take the credit, it was way easier than fighting with her about it. Besides, she did have a point, if I hadn’t met the asshole, I would have never ended up across the street. At that moment, I was finding that to be a lucky thing, but I wasn’t sure if my view on that would change or not. If he didn’t call, I might go back to being that cynical bitch that pissed off every date I had.

  After the manicures, I rode along to Lisa’s apartment since it was on the way to mine. When we pulled up, she looked at me and smiled. She reached over and took my hand, looking as if she were going to get a bit sentimental.

  “Look,” she said. “All joking aside. I’m glad you met someone that made you this excited. I haven’t seen you so non-serious since we were kids. I hope he calls, and even if he doesn’t don’t forget the feeling you have right now, it’s what keeps us going.”

  “I love you,” I said, leaning in and kissing her cheek.

  “Love you too,” she replied opening her door. “Now, go spend the rest of your Sunday being lazy for God’s Sake, and call me if he calls!”

  “I will,” I yelled as she shut the door.

  I laughed and shook my head as the cab pulled off, heading for my house. She was so goofy, but I loved her nonetheless. Growing up I could have never imagined my older sister being my closest friend, but I seriously felt like there were too many times to count, that if she hadn’t been there, I would have gone insane. The cab pulled up in front of my apartment, and I paid the driver and then jumped out on the sidewalk. I waved at my neighbor as I climbed the stairs to the house, ready to lounge around with my freshly painted fingernails. As I put the key in the door, my phone started to ring. I reached down into my bag and pulled it out, not even looking at the number.

  “Hello,” I said cheerfully.

  “Hey there,” Nathan said on the other line, making me almost drop the phone. “You busy?”

  “Busy? No,” I stuttered.

  “I was calling for two reasons,” he said. “I wanted to see how you were feeling today.”

  “I feel great,” I said smiling. “I had breakfast with my sister, and now I’m walking into the house.”

  “Good,” he said. “And my other reason was that I wanted to ask you to dinner tomorrow night.”

  “I would love to,” I said excitedly.

  Oh, boy, I had it bad already.

  Chapter Nine

  Nathan

  My reflection in the mirror made me nervous about the date I was getting ready to go on. I felt like I was trying way too hard, obsessing over every single hair and its placement. I had changed my outfit at least six times, and I wasn’t even sure if I picked the right cologne, though at that point it was too late. I pulled on my shirt, making sure it was tucked in and my tie was perfectly aligned. I couldn’t figure out why I was so nervous, I was taking Ruby to dinner, not proposing. Still, I hadn’t been this anxious about a date since I took Kathy Lane to the junior prom. Of course, if I stopped and thought about it, I had been so obsessed with work and so put off by all the gold-diggers out there I hadn’t been on a date with anyone I cared about before. This was going to be an interesting night.

  I finally decided that my hair was as good as it was going to get and left the bathroom, flipping off the light. I grabbed my jacket off the chair and looked at my whole ensemble in the mirror on the back of the door. I had to admit, I looked sharp, especially for the guy who loathed fashion and conforming to the norm with expensive suits and boring ties. I sighed and opened the door, leaving my bedroom and heading out into the living room. Before I left, I picked up a few things strewn about the apartment just in case I happened to bring Ruby back there later that night.

  I grabbed the keys to the apartment, my wallet, and my cell and headed out to the elevator. When it finally arrived on my floor, I jumped inside and headed down to the lobby. I nodded my head at George who was getting off his shift, and he waved over at me with a kind smile. Sometimes, when the place was practically empty, and I didn’t get too many stares for being so nice to the staff, I kind of like the place. I imagined my next house having a staff as friendly as The Avalon had. At least I would try to make it that way so I would at least have some company in my solitude.

  I left the building and climbed into the limo I had hired for the evening and headed over to pick up Ruby. When it pulled in front of Ruby’s, I walked up the steps, ringing the doorbell anxiously. Ruby answered the door, and my mouth fell open, staring at the beautiful woman standing in front of me. She was wearing a strapless black dress that hugged every one of her curves perfectly and came down narrowly to her calves. She was wearing black strappy five-inch-heels and had her hair pinned back with a large front section falling to the side and curled. Her lips were plump and juicy, and her makeup was dark, highlighting her amazing
green eyes. I leaned forward and kissed her cheek, giving her my arm as we walked down to the limo.

  The ride there was quiet but extremely comfortable, and when we pulled up, I exited first and lent my hand to Ruby to help her out of the car. I was impressed with my mannerly romantic skills since I hadn’t had to use them in a long time. Before Ruby, I thought to be mannerly meant handing the girl my handkerchief to wipe the cum off her lips after sucking my dick on the 3rd floor private rooms. That seemed cheap now. The hostess showed us to our table in the back corner where we were afforded some privacy from everyone else.

  I ordered a bottle of wine and some appetizers and waited until after the waiter poured our first glass to begin the conversation. I looked across the table at Ruby who was looking around the dimly lit restaurant in wonder. I was curious about where she usually went to eat since she seemed to be in awe everywhere we went. Maybe it was just her charming curiosity that I found to be adorable.

  “So,” she said taking a sip of her wine. “Tell me, Nathan, what is it that you do for a living?”

  “I was wondering when you were going to ask that,” I chuckled. “I own an accounting firm called Pope Financials.”

  “You own Pope Financials?” She choked slightly on her wine.

  “Heard of us?”

  “Yeah,” she scoffed. “That’s impressive for someone so young. I’ve heard some great things about your company and how they treat their employees. Bravo sir.”

  “Thank you,” I said proudly. “And how about you?”

  “A little less glamorous,” she said swallowing. “I work for a social justice firm downtown. We help people who have been targeted by racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and more. We help get them good counsel and direction through the long and arduous task of getting justice.”

  “That sounds like an amazing job,” I said, very impressed.

  “It is,” she said. “Sometimes it can be stressful, but very rewarding.”

  We spent the rest of dinner talking back and forth about our jobs, our hobbies, and where we wanted to go in the future. We shifted to personal views and ideas rather quickly which was fine with me since I had enough of talking about the company. Everyone wanted to ask questions about Pope Financial but Ruby, she asked questions about me. When dinner was over, I invited her back to the apartment, excited when she said yes.

  When we arrived, I had an idea, so I stood her in the lobby and went over to the concierge, whispering my request over the desk. As usual, they were more than happy to oblige and sent me on my way with two towels and a keycard. Ruby looked down at the towels with confusion, but I didn’t say a word. Instead, I led her to the elevator and took us up to the 50th floor and escorted her off the elevator. I walked down the hall to the last door and slid the keycard, leading her into the room. She smiled as she saw the Infinity Pool, and I locked the door behind us.

  “This is beautiful,” she said. “And the view, it’s to die for.”

  “I figured after a good meal we might as well go for a swim,” I said taking off my jacket, tie, and shirt.

  “I didn’t bring a bathing suit,” she said, turning to me.

  “Neither did I,” I said, dropping my pants and boxers to the ground.

  “What if someone comes in?”

  “They won’t,” I said walking to the edge. “I rented the pool for the evening.”

  I dove headfirst into the water and swam back up to the surface, feeling the warm water wash over my body. It was so refreshing and freeing, and I turned up to see Ruby beginning to undress. I smiled and turned away, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable. As I heard her body splash into the pool, I turned back around and watched her naked body glide along under the water and surface directly in front of me. She was beautiful with her hair down and wet around her shoulders. She smiled at me with darkened eyes, and I reached forward, bringing her in close to me. I could feel her large firm tits pressing against my chest, and I leaned down, kissing her warm wet lips.

  “You are so full of surprises,” she whispered. “It’s an adventure with you, and I like it.”

  “I’m glad,” I said, leaning over and kissing her neck. “I’d like to take you on another adventure, right here, right now.”

  “Mmmm,” she moaned as my hands slid down her soft sides beneath the water.

  I pulled her against me and thrust my hips forward, letting her feel my hard cock filled with my desire for her. She smiled, reaching down beneath the surface of the water and wrapping her hand around my shaft. She squeezed it hard as she reached forward and cupped my balls with her other hand. I groaned loudly, wanting to feel even more of her. She smiled coyly as her hand began to move up and down my erection, the water flowing around us. I gripped the edge of the pool and closed my eyes, letting her take my cock and jerk it hard. As I opened my eyes, I saw the mischief in her eyes, and she dove down under the water, finding my cock with her mouth.

  This girl was amazing.

  Chapter Ten

  Ruby

  I had spent most of my life swimming so this new idea to suck Nathan’s cock beneath the still waters of the Infinity pool seemed like a well thought out plan. Well, after a few thrusts and some water up my nose, I decided that it may be a better idea to stick to something more conventional. When I came out of the water neither one of us could help but laugh, but that laugh quickly silenced as he stepped forward and brushed my hair from my face with his hand. He leaned down and kissed my lips softly, finding pleasure in our connection. There was something familiar and warm about him, and I ran my hands up his chest, feeling his large bulging muscles.

  As we stood staring and caressing each other, he slid his hand down my stomach and pressed it between my legs. I moaned softly as his fingers moved against me, my body writhing against his, passion flowing through my veins. He wrapped his other hand around my waist and lifted me slightly, sliding his fingers inside of me and pressing his mouth against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and whined into his throat, feeling the heat of orgasm beginning to bubble deep inside of me. I pulled my legs up and wrapped them around his waist and leaned back, giving him room to continue his magic. He slid his fingers slowly in and out of me, using his other hand to massage my clit. I moaned loudly, listening to my voice echo off the walls of the room. I looked up at Nathan and watched his eyes darken as he realized I was close to exploding.

  He picked up the pace, finger fucking me hard and fast, swirling his thumb over my nub. My hips began to grind against him in motion with the waves our bodies were producing. He bit his bottom lip and let out a growl, his hard cock rubbing against my ass as I ground against his hand. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, taking in every single ripple of pleasure that his fingers created. My breath increased, and I could feel my heart pounding in my throat. He pushed deep and hard, and I arched my back, barely keeping my grasp around his neck as my body exploded in orgasm. I screamed out, feeling him continue to rub my nub and glide his fingers through my juices. My body twitched and shook the top of the water until finally the orgasm dissipated and I relaxed, pulling myself into him and hugging him tightly, my arms and legs strongly situated around him.

  Without skipping a beat, he reached down between us and grasped the shaft of his cock, stroking it lightly as I lowered myself down slightly. He positioned the head of his cock on my pussy, and I looked up in his eyes, gasping as I pulled my hips forward, taking it in until my hips reached his. He groaned loudly and began to walk forward, my hips pulling back and thrusting forward, feeling his rock-hard cock pulsing inside of me. I wanted so badly for him to stop, lean me down and fuck me hard but I could tell he had something else in mind. He moved quickly through the water and up the stairs grasping my ass as he climbed and held on. I pushed my hips in hard, taking him deep as he moved across the room and laid me gently down on the reclining furniture.

  I spread my legs wide and watched as he knelt down, holding his cock at the base. His body moved into mine, his enormous erect
ion sinking down through my juices and filling me completely. I moaned loudly feeling that initial push all over again. I reached up and pulled him down onto me, his strong arms grasping the chair tightly. He pulled his knees under him and pulled up on my hips, thrusting deeply as I arched my back, my firm tits bouncing up and down with the movements of his hips. I reached up and grabbed my breasts massaging them tightly as the passion between us grew more intense by the second. The room was warm, and sweat glistened on his chest as he groaned wildly, feeling every inch of me begging for more. He pushed in deep and slowly pulled back out, barely leaving the crown inside and then with a firm grip to the chair he slammed into me, pushing an erotic scream from my chest.

  Over and over again he pulled slowly out only to thrust hard back into me. The sound of our wet skin slapping together rang out, and I reached down, grabbing onto the sides of the chair and lifting my hips up to give him more leverage. He grabbed my hips and growled as he began to move faster and faster, the sound of our passion spilling out over the edge of the Infinity pool. I moaned loudly, rubbing my nipples and feeling the heat inside of me spilling over. As he reached down and rubbed his thumb across my clit, I arched my back, that one touch being enough to push me into full orgasm. He reached his hands down and grabbed my hips hard watching my body stiffen and release as the orgasm filled my soul.

  When he could no longer wait, he pulled out and flipped me over, bringing me to my knees and thrusting hard into me. He slapped my ass cheek and held on as the juices flowed out and over his erection. I could feel his muscles tensing as he drove his dick in and out, grunting loudly with every thrust.

  “Fuuuck, Ruby,” he groaned as my pussy contracted and released around his shaft.

  After about four more thrusts he leaned forward and pushed deep inside of me, grabbing my shoulders for leverage. His hips made short bouncing movements forward trying to get as far into me as possible. Suddenly, he pulled it out, letting out a deep breath and stroking his shaft hard and fast. I moaned at the feeling of his hot seed exploding in streams along my back while his legs and stomach tensed and released against my ass. He sat there stroking for several more moments before sitting back on his feet and letting his heart slow a bit.
