Pulling up in front of her house, I grabbed the stupid flower and headed to the door. After having the stare down with her brother, I was prepared to have an interrogation for it. When she called me her boyfriend part of me about puked and another part came alive. It was the part that came alive that made the part that wanted to puke long to beat the shit out of it. A relationship with Mary, even though I had a feeling it would be explosive, would not be happening. I had an agenda to stick to.
All my thoughts left when she opened the door. She looked unbelievably sexy. She was wearing some kind of skirt that was long enough to be classy, but short enough to taunt me with her perfect legs. A shirt tight enough to showcase every single one of her curves and show just the right amount of cleavage that made me want to throw my face in the between them and stay until the cows came home.
When we arrived at the restaurant, things didn’t improve. My thoughts were still on Mary and how much I wanted to take off every bit of clothing and ravage her until I got her out of my system. This was pissing me off. I had a plan to stick to. As the night started going, it was proving to be harder than I thought. There was an annoying ass waitress that wouldn’t leave us the hell alone and then when I leaned in to tell Mary how much I wanted her, a fucking picture is taken. It pissed me off and I closed down. I was grateful for the distraction though. The anger really sealed in the fact that I had a plan to stick to. When the waitress came back over, I talked to her hoping maybe she’d just go away. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught the look on Mary’s face and a new plan began to form in my head.
Barely talking to her was beginning to bother me, so when our entrée was brought to the table I made conversation. I had to, it was driving me nuts not hearing her voice or seeing her smile. Soon she was smiling and her tense posture relaxed. To my upset, I began to enjoy myself again. We really had a lot in common, but a lot different as well to keep things interesting. It wasn’t until she left for the bathroom that I realized I had just got caught up in her charm again. Shaking my head, I looked up to see our waitress approaching again.
“You look bored handsome.” She said getting close to me.
“Just waiting,” I replied.
“For me?”
“No, Mary.”
“She’s a lucky girl to have someone as sexy as you.”
I looked up and smiled at her. “I’m just as lucky.”
My brain is screaming at me. What the hell did I just say? I looked back down at the table and shifted the remainder of my food on the plate. Why the hell would I say that? I planned to ruin her tonight! Not state that I was lucky to have her around! What the fuck!
While I was arguing with myself in my head, she ran her hand down my arm and grabbed my hand. When I looked up at her, it was Mary’s face I saw and it made me smile. It was when she leaned down next to my ear that I realized it wasn’t Mary.
“I get off in two hours. I can rock your world honey,” she whispered as she licked my ear.
A flash went off and I was pissed for the second time tonight. Only this time I wasn’t pissed because I got lost in Mary, but because I knew that the papers were going to rip her to shreds. Just as I was about to set the waitress straight, Mary walked up and the waitress pulled away.
“Here. Tell Gregory that his tip and thanks are in this as well,” she said as she handed her the cash.
My heart stopped. She was pissed. I knew she had every reason to be pissed off at me. I should be happy about this, but for the life of me…I just wasn’t. It was getting harder and harder to stay away from her. Hell, it hasn’t even been twenty-four hours. I watched as Mary left the restaurant. Gathering myself, I stood and went after her. The time it took for the valet to bring my truck around seemed to drag forever.
Finally, in my truck, I pulled alongside her trying to talk to her. She got a call and stopped walking. I could see fear written all over her face and in the way she stood. Then my heart broke when I watched her run into the detective’s arms. There was familiarity in the way he held her. Jealousy hits me strong and hard. She got in his car and they drove off. I followed and when they arrived at Mary’s I watched her run into another man’s arms.
What the fuck!
In my life, I have felt a lot of things; pain, sorrow, anger…but never jealousy. My mind worked overtime trying to figure out what was going on with her. She drove me crazy with lust, rocked me to the core with a kiss and then winded me with jealousy. It was all confusing and conflicting with the reason I met her today. I laughed out loud. Not even twenty-four hours in her presence and already I was in jeopardy of messing up my goal here.
I have lost track of the time and how long I have been sitting out here. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure what I was going to say to her if she came out. Something told me she would. If I learned anything about her tonight it was she loved being outside. It was just a long, boring wait and gave me far too much time to over analyze what I was doing with her. As much as my brain is telling me to love what happened and move on, something in me just didn’t feel right leaving it like that. As I sit outside her parents’ home, I knew I’d say just about anything to get her back to me again. Do I worry about my mission? Of course, but this seemed so much bigger and different for me. There was no way to explain and not sound like a pussy so I will just leave it with feeling different.
Just as I was about to start my truck and leave she walked outside. I quietly exited my truck and made my way across the street to her. She sat on the porch swing with her head back and her eyes shut. When I started to ascend the steps, she lifted her head up fast and opened her eyes staring at me. She let out a noticeable breath.
“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Her face changed suddenly. “What the hell are you doing here? Do you have any idea what time it is?”
“No, actually I don’t. I’ve been waiting for you to come out so we can talk.”
She stood up. “Talk about what? What do you want to talk about?”
“Well…uh, why you ran off on me for one. I thought we were having a great night.”
“Well, you certainly were,” she mumbled.
“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked getting equally agitated.
She huffed and walked back to the swing. The only thing I heard was the swing creaking as she lightly swung back and forth.
“I saw you with the celebucker. You don’t need to stand here and explain anything. Please just go. I’ve had one hell of a night and would love some peace right now,” she said quietly.
“I don’t know what you think you saw…” I started before she interrupted me.
She moved quickly toward me and poked me in my chest as she hissed, “What I think I saw? No, there is no think about it. It is what I saw. I watched her come on to you all night during dinner. I leave to go to the restroom and you’re holding hands, smiling and she’s licking your fucking ear.”
She shoved me real hard in the chest and I stumbled backwards a few steps being caught off guard. Mary was shocking me all over again. She appears this weak, docile little thing, but she has a feisty assertive side and it was extremely sexy. But she had this all wrong. I wasn’t the only one who needed to be put in their place.
“What about you? You leave the restaurant, paying for the bill and then ignore me when I try to talk to you. As if that wasn’t enough, no, you run to the arms of another man and drive off with him ON OUR DATE!” I said louder than I intended, but I continued. “What are you fucking him and playing with me on the side? Is that your game? You play with men to get what you want and then throw them away?”
The minute I said it, I regretted it. That’s the things with words; once they were said you couldn’t take them back. You couldn’t make someone forget they heard them. They were out there and remained there taunting you with the hurt that you know they inflicted. These words were like an explosion in the dead of night. Nothing but that could be heard and it jolts you from whatever you are doing. Before I could say anythin
g, she smacked me across the face.
“How dare you!” She hissed. “You’re the one in public on a date letting another woman tongue your ear and I’m the bad person for ending the date? I’m the bad person because my friend came to get me because Kyle was looking for me and he wanted to make sure I was safe. You’re an asshole!” She said shoving me.
We stared at each other for a moment, both of us breathing heavy. The pull was there crackling between us ready to explode. I could feel it in the hair on my arms. The pull was strong, pulling me toward her. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t stop myself. I moved quickly to her and grabbed her face crashing my lips down on hers. She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck kissing me back with the same urgency that I felt.
My hands dropped down from her face to her ass and I lifted her, wrapping her legs around my waist. We both groaned and I rested her against the house and pressed into her. Moving my hands up from her hips, I began to tease her nipples through the fabric that separated me from her skin. She moaned and dropped her head back against the house.
Rocking my hips against her slowly, I trailed kisses down her neck and back up before moving back to claim her mouth. She was grinding against me.
Fuck! This feels so damn good!
“Why is it that the only times I have met you is when your tongue is shoved down my sister’s throat?”
Mary and I both jumped a little and froze in the middle of our frantic lust fest we were having. Pulling away from her mouth, I looked at Mary and she had a horrified look on her face. It was a look that I decided not to tease her about the truth behind his words. Instead, I helped her correct herself and lowered her down.
“Nick, what are you doing here? It’s late.”
Nick kept his eyes on me as he answered his sister. “I just got the message about what happened tonight. I knew you wouldn’t be sleeping so I decided to check on you. Guess I was right on the not sleeping part. I’m going inside. See you when you come in.”
With that, he walks into the house and I hear Mary let out a breath. Pulling her back into my arms, I stare down at her. Something pulls inside me, changes almost. I can’t explain it and I’m not sure I want to. All I know is that no woman has ever affected me the way Mary does. Was that good or bad?
BAD! That voice in the back of my head screams.
Mentally, I shook myself of all the thoughts of the plans. Focusing on just Mary is what tonight was supposed to be about. Leaning down, I licked her ear before pulling her earlobe between my teeth.
“I really wish we didn’t always get interrupted at the good parts,” I whispered.
She laughed softly and smacked my chest playfully. “Those good parts are waiting Mister.”
I nodded my head and just held her. We said our goodnights a few minutes later and I headed back to my hotel room.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
The paper did print the pictures, but thankfully it was ripping me apart and not her. She seemed just as upset at that though. It bewildered me why she was so upset or even cared. After that, the week passed rather quickly. Every day was spent with Mary doing something. We walked the park, had a picnic, went to the movies, sat in my truck and watched the sunset. That was a night I will never forget. A smile began to stretch across my face as the memory of that night played in my head.
We drove out to an abandoned field away from everything. I wasn’t sure how she knew about this place and there was no way I was going to ask and set myself up for that answer. Once I helped her out of the truck, we walked around. There wasn’t anything around us but miles of empty fields of grass. Suddenly Mary takes off running and laughing. Just as I was about to run after her she stops.
“Turn around and cover your eyes. We are going to play land ‘Marco, Polo’ Okay? Count to twenty and keep your eyes closed. No peeking.”
Turning around, I closed my eyes and counted to twenty. The game was on. Shockingly, I found myself enjoying this silly game. I yelled out ‘Marco’, but received no response right away like she had been doing. Just as I was about to yell again, I tripped on something. My eyes shot open and I held my arms out to catch myself as I fell. When I landed I was face to face with Mary.
“No wonder you didn’t reply. You know you could have gotten hurt there? Did I hurt you?”
She shook her head. Unable to resist, I leaned down and kissed her. It was light and short, but I was afraid if I did any more than that then I’d get lost. I jumped to my feet. Helping her up, we headed back over to the truck. Lowering the tailgate I grabbed the blanket and spread it out then lifted Mary. We sat there just staring off. A few minutes had passed when she scooted over and rested her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her and held her as we continued to watch the sun set.
If I were to be honest, I’m really not sure who moved first; Mary or me. Whoever it was, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that at that moment, I was tasting her luscious mouth again. It was an addiction. Whenever we were together and even when we aren’t, I dream of her mouth. My focus solely on her lips and the need to taste even more of her. It didn’t matter if we had just kissed. It was as if my lips were only whole when they were connected to hers.
She started to push me back and I let her. Soon I felt her hand running up my chest. Pulling her tighter against me, I ran my hand firmly down her back and then massaged her ass in my hands. God, I wanted her badly. It was a struggle to not rip her clothes off right this minute and take her hard and fast with no care as to what it might cost me.
Mary leaned back and pulled my shirt up and over my head. All I could do was just stare up at her. She lowered her head down and began to trail kisses over my chest. When her teeth grazed my nipples I couldn’t stop the moan from escaping. Every bit of me was on fire. Never in all my life have I felt this way before. What was it about her that drove me so fucking crazy?
I didn’t have time to focus on that thought, though. She was still running kisses down my stomach. But as she was doing that she was also unbuttoning and pulling the zipper down on my jeans. My breath hissed through my teeth when her hand reached into my boxers and pulled out my erection. All thoughts of any kind vanished when I felt her tongue circle around the head and down the shaft.
“Fuck,” I breathed as she took me in her mouth.
The warmth of her mouth wrapped around my cock was more than enough to get me off, but as her tongue put pressure as well as her cheeks… I was going crazy with need for her. Tangling my hands in her hair, I slowly began small thrusts of my hips into her mouth.
“Mmmm…” she hummed on my cock causing me to shudder.
“Damn Mary. I’m not going to last long if you keep that up. Get up here,” I breathe, trying to pull her up to me.
Mary pulls her mouth off my cock, but wraps her hand around me and makes slow, long strokes as she looks up at me with a smile. “Not tonight, Tobey. Tonight is just you.”
Then her mouth was wrapped back around my cock moving quickly. Her hand continued to stroke, but faster this time and her other hand moved to my balls, rolling them lightly in her hand.
I could feel myself swelling getting ready to explode at any moment. Again, I tried to pull her up, but she only worked harder and faster until I couldn’t take it anymore and exploded into her mouth. I unconsciously shoved her head further down on my cock and pumped my hips faster into her mouth.
“Fuck!” I roared as I hit my peak and flopped back onto the blanket out of breath and spent. She continued to move up and down helping me ride out the last of my climax before sitting up. Mary corrected my clothing, crawled up next to me and curled into my side draping her arm across my stomach. Sighing contently, I wrapped my arms around her before falling asleep. The last thought in my head was this was the first person I have ever slept with.
Shifting in my seat, I sat in a booth waiting for Mary to arrive. We were meeting at the restaurant that started it all for us. This was proving harder to keep from getting distracted. Distraction was
not a good thing at this moment. I needed to keep my focus.
My phone starts ringing scaring me slightly. Pulling it out of my pocket, I recognize the number and immediately answer it.
“Hey bro.”
“Hey. How are things going on your end? Did you pull it off?”
“Not yet. This is proving more difficult than I thought it would be, but I think I have it figured out and should be able to pull it off here soon.”
“Shit man! You should have had it done by now! What the hell is going on with you? Maybe you weren’t the man for the job after all…”
“Look! I’m just fine for the job, okay? There have been complications, but I think I have them in the past and am ready to move forward. Just relax would you?”
“Relax? Relax? How the hell am I supposed to fucking relax after what they’ve done to me. You know you are so fucking stupid sometimes!”
“Be careful who you insult right now, bro. You aren’t exactly in the position to piss me off and you are coming very close to doing just that,” I hissed down the phone.
“Whatever man. If you don’t pull this off soon, then I will just have to handle it myself.”
He hung up the phone. Shaking my head, I knew I’ve been slacking off. I needed to focus on the task. Just as I was about to put my phone away it rang again. I half expected it to be my brother again, but my stomach suddenly knotted when I saw the number flashing on the screen. Something told me that it was not going to be a good call.
“Hey, where are you?”
“Help me!” She screamed.
I was out of my seat and moving toward the door before I even thought about where I was going. There was wind whipping through the phone and she was breathing heavy, that told me she was running…or at least that is what I assumed.
