Falling For Her

by Mia Ford

  I’d always used women before this, making it clear that I was only in a relationship for one thing. I explained that I didn’t do commitment. I never slept with a woman in my bed multiple times in a row either, and the ones that I did wake up with were typically the result of a one night stand. Fuck me. I cared about Molly and I imagined sleeping without her heat beside me.

  I moved to my back and stared at the ceiling, lit by the moon outside. The night was peaceful around me as I breathed in the scent of Molly and our union. It made me never want to wash the sheets again, something that made me shake my head with a slow smile. What the fuck was happening to me?

  In the morning, Molly’s phone chimed but I was aware of something else before it registered with me. There was a hot, wet mouth wrapped around my cock and I reached down to feel Molly, resisting the urge to pull her hair. “What are you doing?”

  “I thought that you might like to wake up like this. I couldn’t sleep after a certain point, and I touched you. You were…hard, so I thought I’d try.” I heard the shyness in her voice as she spoke from under the covers, the doubt filling the room.

  “You’re perfect, Molly. I love waking up this way,” I assured her as I let my hand buy her head gently, urging her over my body again. Again, it wasn’t long before she was urging me close to an orgasm and I told her that I wanted to be inside of her again. Molly pulled away from my cock and moved up my body as I took a breath. “I need a condom,” I told her as her pussy pressed against me, stroking back and forth over it as I grunted. “You’re going to get me off too early this way. Fuck, Molly. You feel so good.” I knew that my mouth was getting out of control with her but I couldn’t contain it any longer. I wanted to tie her up and tell her every dirty thing that I’d ever wanted to do to her.

  “I got on the pill when Noel did back in college, if there’s nothing else to worry about,” she told me as our eyes locked.

  “I have always been safe and get tested on a regular basis. You’re the first woman I’ve been with for a couple of months and I’m never bare.” The last woman had been a bit clingy and helped my decision to leave Southern California. Molly smiled weakly and moved to her knees, straddling my body so my cock was at her entrance.

  Fuck, fuck, fuck.

  I knew how this was going to feel and as she dropped onto me, I was deep inside of her wet pussy. She kept going, filling herself with me as I gripped her hips. She stayed still for a moment before rising to take me again, finding a rhythm as she bobbed over my cock. Molly did it that way for a while before she pressed her lips together and leaned forward, changing it up a bit. Holy hell. She was so clingy around me as she moved and I closed my eyes and memorized it. I moved one hand up to cup her nipple in my hand, testing the waters by pinching it lightly. As she jerked, Molly let out a ragged moan and I knew that she liked the feeling. She rode me harder, back and forth and I knew that I was going to come soon.

  She needed to first. I had to feel her like this. I took a hold of her and started thrusting inside of her as she pressed her small hands against my chest and whimpered.

  In and out.

  I buried myself inside of her and kept moving until I felt her tighten, just before heat washed over me.

  I moved inside of her fast and hard at the point, feeding my addiction until I was filling her. Molly cried out my name as she felt it, out juices mixing as she dropped over me. She reached over to silence the phone that had been going on the entire time, filling the room with our breaths. “This is by far one of the best mornings of my life,” I murmured as I stroked the damp skin of her back softly, feeling her heart beating against me.

  “I know. I don’t want to get out of bed at all,” she murmured as I longed for a day in bed with this beautiful woman. “Want to take a shower with me?”

  “Sure,” I responded, hard again at the thought. This woman was consuming me and we relaxed for a few more moments before making our way to the bathroom. I watched as she washed herself off before lifting her into my arms and kissing her gently. “Can I?”

  “Yes,” Molly breathed before I pressed her against the tile and slid inside of her. We were rushing by the time the shower ended and she brushed her hair, winding it into a messy bun on her head before putting on some mascara and lip stain. Molly dressed in her work clothes as I grabbed some clean running clothes and shoes, leading the way to the garage.

  “You’re going to look for a car today?” I asked as I backed out of the driveway slowly.

  “I have one picked out from the website. It’s a four runner that’s about ten years old. They’re giving me a great deal on it but Keith wants to look it over,” I heard the laughter in her voice as I glanced behind me to make sure the road was clear. “I think he’s been talking to my dad.”

  “Are you going to see your parents for the holidays?” I asked her as I headed towards the cafe.

  “They don’t have anyone there so Marta invited them to join us. She’s gotten closer to them over the last few years and Mom’s dying to see the cafe. I think they’d consider making the move here if a few visits went well. I’d love that.” I saw her smile in the light from the street as I pulled up next to Caleb. He nodded at me and I rolled down my window to greet him as I squeezed Molly’s hand. Noel pulled up and chatted with him while I kissed Molly goodbye, feeling something different in this kiss.

  She smiled at me with a knowing look in her eyes before sliding out of the car. They walked with Caleb to the door as I watched for a moment, still in some disbelief over the happenings of last night. I had energy flowing steadily through me as I returned home and went for a long run, replaying everything in my mind. I went to get some coffee from Molly, needing to see her smile as she blushed at the sight of me. I was addicted to the strong roast and sweet muffin every day though Molly brought them over to my house at the end of the week sometimes. I told her that I wanted to order a couple dozen for the base on Friday since we were having a retirement lunch for one of the guys. I figured that would be a nice breakfast before the catered meal.

  I didn’t stay long today since I had to get to work, but I told her to call me when she knew something about the car. She nodded and watched me leave, her eyes bright with need as I forced myself through the glass doors. When I walked into the building whistling, Michael glanced at me with a raised eyebrow. “What has you in such a good mood?”

  “I had my coffee,” I replied as he smirked. I went into my office and got everything going in there, checking to make sure that we were in the classroom today. I looked at the students to see that Olivia’s fling wasn’t above the rest due to the affair, and he was actually doing slightly worse than some of the others. Maybe he wasn’t the hot shot that he perceived himself to be. I headed to the classroom when it was time, sitting in the back as Michael joined me.

  Olivia walked in with someone else to assist her today and I sat back to watch. As much as I tried to focus on the lesson, I still had flashbacks of Molly running through my mind as I’d drift off. I noted that everything seemed calm between teacher and student and wondered if they didn’t just get sidetracked for a brief time. It was rough to have a woman teaching here for some of the men and I suspected that it got more hype than it might have deserved.

  Lunch came at what felt like the end of the day and I had some of the leftovers. “Did you make that?” Michael asked as he made a frozen meal in the microwave.

  “My girl brought it over for me last night,” I replied after a beat, liking the sound of the title. “I cook here and there, but nothing like this for just me.” I picked up a piece of chicken and bit into it, deciding that it was better the following day.

  “She’s a keeper,” he observed as I smiled. We talked about the retirement on Friday for a bit as well as some sports chatter though I didn’t know as much as I normally would about that. I was with Molly a lot on the evening and if not, thinking about her.

  CHAPTER 19

  Molly

  Noel led us to the back with
a wide smile on her face. “Spill.”

  “Spill what?” I teased as I turned on the lights and watched her get the bowls that we needed. “I am going to make some coffee and get some music going. Have you heard the new Paramore album?”

  “Get your ass back in here, Mol.” Noel called to me as I snickered. I made some lattes for us and found an alternative rock station on the Sirius system that Noel had installed in the cafe when we opened. I brought the coffees back, handing her one before I went to stir the carrot muffin mix, inhaling the scent of cinnamon. “So, what happened last night? You’re glowing!!”

  I looked up at her with a smile and she gasped. “I did it.”

  “You slept with him?” Noel asked as she dropped the spoon to run over and give me a tight hug. “Was it okay?”

  “It was amazing. I didn’t think it would ever be that good, but he…Robert made me feel so good. He was so caring.” I replied, blushing as I looked in her face. “I don’t know why I was so scared before, Noel.”

  “It was never right before. That’s why, Molly. Lance was an asshole towards you and I am relieved that he didn’t ruin it for you forever. I’m so happy for you.” She reluctantly returned to mixing and stared at me. “So, no regrets?”

  “None.” I stirred a few times before pouring my batter into the pans. “I am not blind to the fact that we could end, and very soon at that. I didn’t do anything last night hoping for forever. I just wanted him and I have since we met. I don’t know if I’ll ever be affected by a man this way again.”

  “I don’t think it’s going to end anytime soon. He’s been to eat with us and the family a few times now and Dad told me that he wants to take us all to dinner. I won’t even point out the way that he looks at you.” She smiled at me. “I’m jealous. Nate is great and all but that older man vibe is so sexy. I’ll bet he lasts longer.” I was turning on the ovens and laughed loudly as I shot her a look.

  “Oh, my God. Noel, you’re insane,” I told her as she giggled and started pouring her batter. I didn’t answer her question, not quite certain that I was ready for those kinds of details. I was still feeling shy about the way that I acted with him, and my skin heated up as I remembered the look in his eyes when I was on top of him.

  “I wouldn’t turn a brother away if you were to offer one.” She raised both eyebrows and I shook my head.

  “He does but he’s a police officer in Philadelphia,” I replied as she exaggerated a pout on her face. “I am going to get this place ready to open. Are you good back here?”

  “I’ll be out front in a bit to load up,” Noel told me in a sing song voice as I smiled at her. Today was shaping up to be a great one, with the progress with Robert and the idea that I might be getting a car later today. I suddenly wanted the freedom of that, so I could just pick up and go. It didn’t mean that I would see Noel any less, just that I could drive when we went out. It meant that Robert wouldn’t have to drag himself out of a warm bed to get me here every day though I’d seen the look in his beautiful eyes when I said that.

  Lance was controlling when it suited him, but never for my own protection. He got jealous about any guy that looked at me and now I know it was because he had others on the side. He probably did that the entire time that we were dating. Robert was different. I saw in his eyes and the way that he set his jaw that he was concerned about me driving alone out there. It was dark and while we met the police every morning, anything could happen on a dark day. Our town was small and it felt so safe, but I’d seen enough of the Discovery channel to understand that wasn’t always the case. We’d hash that out later, since I wanted a car of my own, regardless. The one I was looking at was a pretty shimmering forest green color and so cute inside.

  The shift passed slowly in between customers and I cleaned up when I had some time, looking to get out of there as early as possible. Keith was getting off work early to pick me up, so I didn’t want to make him wait. It would be nice to be home for dinner and show off my new vehicle before I drove it over to Robert’s.

  My thighs ached as I thought about him. I was slightly sore from the night, but I wanted him again. There was so much that he needed to teach me about sex and pleasure, with the new inner slut in me wanting to know it all. I knew that there was a darker part of him that still made me a little wary, but so far, he’d been nothing but caring, I just saw a look in his eyes from time to time that suggested he had some trauma of his own.

  I started getting butterflies in my stomach when it came time to close, and Noel urged me to leave when we saw her dad in his pick-up truck parked out front. She could close. I grabbed my purse and walked out, locking the door behind me so she would be safe. When I walked out to the truck, I smiled at Keith and thanked him again for doing this for me. “It’s no problem. Just one town over and I haven’t seen Jim in a while.”

  We hit the road and I envisioned the SUV in my mind to get the naughty thoughts out of my head. That didn’t seem right to do with Keith beside me and I blushed as an image slipped into my mind. “Robert wants to take us to a new place by the dealership Friday. Maybe you can drive us.” His voice was light and I smiled at him.

  “I’d love to,” I replied as he stopped at a light and looked at me.

  “It seems serious with him.” Keith’s voice was soft and I glanced over at him, nodding. “I have watched Noel date a lot, good guys and bad and it’s been hard. Seeing you do it after coming here scared of shadows is even worse. Is he good to you?” Keith asked as I realized that I wasn’t hiding the past as well as I should be.

  “Very much so. He’s made me feel comfortable and Robert is very caring,” I assured him as we moved forward.

  “I talked to him about that and he seems honest about himself. He’s a good man but I know that with an age difference, things can get complicated sometimes.” Keith shook his head. “I just want you happy and since I am your local parental figure, I take that seriously.”

  “I am always watching out for myself,” I said sincerely as we took the two-lane freeway to the town, pulling into a small lot a few minutes later. My eyes looked over the selection, seeing some cute cars. My gaze rested on the beefy SUV as I grinned widely.

  Jim showed us the Four Runner and we went for a test drive in it as the men analyzed the engine noises and mileage. To me, it was perfect. It had comfortable black cloth seats, a decent radio, air conditioning and it seemed to purr. I didn’t know how to break down every sound a car made and chuckled as they kept talking. When we arrived back at the lot, Keith voiced his approval and I stared at him. We went into the office and paid cash at a great discounted price before I signed my life away.

  “You have yourself a new car,” Jim told me, embracing me before handing me the key on a small chain. I took it with a smile and looked at Keith as he nodded his approval.

  “It’s a good vehicle, Molly. It will be good for all the weather that we have here, like Noel’s Jeep.” I grew up in this state and was aware of the weather, but not a fan of driving in it so much. “Want me to drive it back?"

  “No! I have some radio stations to set.” I grinned as he laughed and shook Jim’s hand, thanking him for helping us. I said my goodbyes and scampered over to the truck, getting in, and looking all around. It was gorgeous and all mine. I sent Robert a text saying that I got it before doing the same for Noel and asking what was planned for dinner. She responded telling me that Keith said he’d pick up an order from the BBQ place in the town we were leaving.

  Robert had sent back a message by this time and I asked him if he wanted to join us for dinner, offering to get whatever he wanted on the way home. He declined, telling me to have a good time and to stop by to show me the car later. He didn’t want to send me too much out of my way, and I pouted.

  I knew that the fact that we’d slept together and that he wasn’t coming over had nothing to do with each other. Not at all. Robert was a nice guy and he would want me to get home safely without having to stop for him. That’s all it was though in
security filled me as I started the engine of my new car. It sounded amazing and I found the local radio station that I listened to before pulling out onto the main street. The windows were down to let some fresh air in and I squealed with joy as I let it sink in that I was in my own car.

  I thoroughly enjoyed the drive home. I hadn’t driven since I left Malad City as everything was so close to the campus at college. After that, Noel had the Jeep and we spent most of our time together, anyway. It worked out but now I could have a little freedom and I sang along to the radio as I headed towards the house. Things were going to be different now for me, making me think that everything was falling into place. I liked the idea of staying with Robert but he might not live here for too long. He was in a job that moved him around and I knew that going in. I knew that when I gave myself to him last night, but I couldn’t resist him any longer. I couldn’t make myself wait and I would never regret that choice. I smiled as I saw Keith parked on the hill and Marta standing there with Noel as I pulled around. They came over to look the truck over and Marta loved it. She had a bigger SUV and swore that her life would be nothing without all the room. Noel claimed that she was jealous but I knew how much she adored her newer Jeep.

  “Is Robert coming over for dinner?” Marta asked as I locked my car and headed towards the house.

  “He said that he already fixed something but to stop by later to show him,” I feigned a smile as I led the way inside, feeling her eyes on me. I could tell Marta anything as if she were my own mother, but I was embarrassed. We went to the table and Keith helped his wife unload the food as we sat down to eat.

  “Are you driving to work tomorrow?” Marta asked me as I looked at Noel, who was smiling. Marta didn’t necessarily know that I was staying at Robert’s place so much, given our early hours.
