His cock ached more and he knew this was going to be fast. But if he had his way, he’d take her several more times tonight to make up for the strong desire he had now to bury himself deep inside.
He kissed down her neck as he pulled her dress up over her waist. She arched into him, allowing access to her chest area. Before letting his lips feast, he inhaled her fruity aroma. He grunted slightly then trailed kisses from her collar bone down to her cleavage.
“Oh,” she murmured.
“God, you’re driving me mad,” he whispered into her skin.
“We’re mad together. Please, touch me. I hate to beg, but I’m dying to be touched.”
Pulling her tighter against him, he let a hand slide down her belly and into the waist band of her panties. He spread her lips apart and let a finger gently rub around her clit. She squirmed in his arms. Pushing his digit closer to her opening, he was met by a very wet entrance. He pushed in and with his thumb, pressed down on her clit.
“Oh,” she squeaked.
He began to move in a rhythm. She rocked in his arms as she tried to control herself. It had been a long time since he’d had this kind of effect on a woman. He picked up the speed. Krista’s breathing quickened.
Neil captured her lips just as she let out a loud cry and her legs buckled. He held her tighter, fingering her as she rode out her release. Once her breathing quieted down, he removed his hand from her panties and let her lower herself down to the couch.
She gazed up at him, looking satisfied. He started to grab his wine, but Krista reached out and tugged at his pants.
“Whoa.” He chuckled.
He went to push her hands away, but before he could, she had his pants unbuttoned, unzipped, and halfway down his legs. She wasted no time.
“Do you want to take this to the bedroom?” he asked.
She shook her head and linked her fingers with the waistband of his boxers. She pulled them down his legs too. She leaned forward and he expected her to help him remove his clothing as he lifted a leg, but instead her warm mouth drew his cock into her mouth.
“Krista!”
Her lips traveled up and down his shaft. Her tongue ran along the length of it. It felt good. He couldn’t stop this if he tried.
She pulled her mouth back so only the tip touched her lips. She stared up into his eyes as she let her tongue dart out and swirl around it. Oh God, she was going to kill him. He was in pure ecstasy.
She closed her eyes and moaned as she brought him back into her mouth, letting his cock hit the back of her throat. The little sounds she made caused tiny vibrations on his shaft. He closed his eyes and let his hips slightly pump into her. She took him and as her mouth worked him into a pleasurable state, he did his best to stay in control.
A moment later he felt his release approaching. He pulled his dick from her mouth just as his seed spilled out onto the carpet.
“I would’ve swallowed it.” She licked her lips.
“Fuck, woman!”
Krista giggled. “I’d like another glass of wine and then I’d like you to show me your bedroom.”
* * *
Krista dug her nails into the crisp sheets. She was right there on the edge and any moment her orgasm was going to tear through her body, leaving her in total bliss.
But then his tongue stopped and instead she felt gentle kisses on her inner thighs. Neil kissed his way back up her body, pushing her legs wide open. His cock was right there, hard and ready to enter.
“I want to take this slow.” He pressed his lips to the crook of her neck. “I want to enter you inch by inch.”
She nodded; it was all she could do. She was so sedated she wasn’t sure she could form even a single word.
As Neil continued to feast on her neck, he reached across the bed to the nightstand. A moment later his lips left hers and she watch as he rolled protection over his swollen shaft. God, he was big, she surprised herself when she’d been able to take him in her mouth without gagging.
Neil grabbed her knees and spread her legs wider. He climbed between them and placed his dick at her entrance. She took in a deep breath and as he thrust into her, she felt her skin stretch. At first it was slightly painful because it had been awhile since she’d had sex, but as he glided in and out at a comfortable rhythm, the pain subsided and the pleasure began.
She gripped his firm ass, egging him to move faster, but he continued in slow strides. Something inside of her needed the rough, hard thrust. She moved her hips faster, hoping Neil would understand what she needed, but instead he chuckled slightly and kept at the same pace.
“Patience,” he whispered.
Patience she didn’t have. He’d just feasted on her pussy and brought her right to the brink of release. She’d almost been there. Every nerve had been on edge and now he filled her completely and moved slowly.
He pulled almost all the way out so only his tip was inside then began quick shallow thrusts.
“Ah!” she cried out.
Her release was building again. She couldn’t hold back. Whatever he was doing, he was doing it right and it felt incredibly amazing. But she needed him deeper to finish.
“Deeper!” she yelled out.
Neil wrapped an arm around her waist, lifting her lower body from the bed. Her legs wrapped around his waist and he drove into her, deep.
She couldn’t hold back any longer. Krista’s nails dug into the bed and pleasure rolled through her, wave by wave. She panted and moaned loudly and before she knew it Neil was joining her.
He pumped quickly, his breathing fast until he collapsed on top of her. They rested on the bed, his body on top of her, his head nuzzled between her breasts. Krista rubbed his back as they caught their breath.
She couldn’t believe how good that had been. She should be exhausted, but she hoped like hell they’d get to do that again tonight—multiple times.
Neil rolled off of her and propped himself up on his elbow. “You were more amazing then I’d imagined.”
She grinned. “You did all the work.”
“Oh no, I can’t take credit for that.” He yawned. “I need a quick nap before we do it again.”
A nap? She was ready for more. “I’m all fired up.”
“If I was younger, I’d gladly take you again. Give me thirty and I promise to make it worth your while.”
She pushed a strand of his hair from his face. “I’ve no doubt.”
“I wish I could stay in bed with you all day.” Neil rubbed his fingers along Krista’s arms.
“That would be a dream. Unfortunately, I need to get home soon. It’s already after ten and EJ will be home by five.” Sure, she had a few hours, but there were things she wanted to tackle around the house that was easier kid free.
“I suppose if the only other man I’m competing with is your son, I’m okay with that.”
Krista rolled over and stared up into his eyes. She really wanted this relationship to work between them. She hated to admit it, but he melted her heart. A future with Neil would be perfect. Being with him and EJ would make things complete. She’d always wanted another child, but if it wasn’t in her cards, she was beginning to think that was okay. After all, EJ was getting older. Did she really want to deal with diapers and bottles again?
“I can see the wheels turning. What are you thinking about?”
She laid her head on his chest. “Nothing important.”
His arms wrapped around her, pulling her tightly against him. He kissed the top of her head. “Don’t fall asleep.”
“Easier said than done. I’m so content.”
“I’m glad,” he whispered. “How about I go grab us something to eat before I take you home?”
“Don’t you have a bell to ring or something? I don’t want to get up.”
He chuckled. “I’ll be sure to have that installed this week and hire a cook.”
“Looking forward to it.” She giggled as she sat up, pulling the sheet up around her chest. “I guess I’ll shower.”
He winked at her. “Too bad we can’t play together in there.”
“Why not?” She’d never get enough love from Neil.
“Because, I’ll never get you home otherwise.”
She got up from the bed and Neil reached out, giving her ass a slight slap. She laughed and dragged the sheet behind her into the bathroom. As she closed the door she heard the squeak of the bed as Neil climbed off.
The bathroom was huge, but she didn’t see the shower. She walked through and finally saw a doorway to a room that was the size of her kitchen. It was the shower! There were several shower heads. She pressed a button and watched as the sprayers turned on. Oh, she could get used to this.
As she stepped into the engulfing warm water, she was certain she was living out some fairytale fantasy. Never in her life did she think a man like Neil would be interested in her. He could give her anything in life. She still wasn’t sure how she’d caught his eye or how long this was going to last. But she was already ankle-deep in. Her heart was almost his. At this point, it was all up to Neil if he wanted it or not.
After she was out of the shower and dressed, she met Neil back in the bedroom. The bed was made and in the center sat a tray of food. Neil sat in the bed with a newspaper as he read.
It was the type of morning she’d always imagined. All she needed now was EJ to come running in, bounce on the bed, and spill the coffee all over the white bed spread.
“This looks good.” She stared at the bowl of fruit and French toast. “Did you make this?”
“I did.”
She climbed on the bed. “You’re a man of so many hidden talents. I could get used to this.”
“Good. I want you to. Now eat.”
She took a plate and set it in her lap. “I’m happy we’re doing this.”
“Eating?” he joked.
“No, silly. Trying this whole relationship thing.” She popped a grape into her mouth.
He gazed at her. “Ah, so are you officially my girlfriend?”
“I guess so. Can’t you ask me better than that?” She bit into the cantaloupe.
“Krista, will you be my steady?”
She tossed her head back and laughed. “Of course.”
A sexy grin crossed his handsome face. “Guess I should look into getting you a promise ring.”
She pushed his shoulder gently. “Just make sure it comes from a gumball machine.”
“You’re something. I can tell my life is never going to be boring with you around.” He set the paper down. “I need one more taste before I take you home.”
“I just showered.”
“Yeah, you washed me off of you. I can’t have that.” He tugged her to him and she straddled his lap.
At this rate, she was never going to leave his bed. Which really wasn’t such a bad thing, was it?
* * *
Krista heard the sound of the car door open and close and then the distinct running footsteps of her son. The front door opened and EJ bounded through.
“Hey, Mom.” He ran right past her, not even stopping for a hug.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?” She followed him to his bedroom.
He held up a green case. “Dad just gave me this cool new video game. He told me to come play it while he talks to you.”
Oh, she’d forgotten about that. “All right. I’ll be right back.” She placed a kiss on the top of his head.
She glanced out front and saw Todd leaning against his car. Taking a deep breath, she needed to just get this over with. She met him in the driveway but didn’t say anything.
“How was your weekend?” he asked.
Perfect. “Nice, minus the accident.”
“You have a glow to you today. You look happy.” He studied her and she shifted on her feet, uncomfortable.
Krista’s cheeks burned. She couldn’t remember the last time Todd had noticed her. “I’d like to spend some quality time with EJ, so if you don’t mind, what did you want to talk about?”
“Seeing those flowers the other day,” he rubbed his temple, “got me thinking. I found myself jealous and didn’t understand why. I know why the marriage ended and I know it was my decision. But perhaps I finally got my wake-up call and I can see what I had all this time.”
Wait…is he…
“I’d like you to think about me and what you might feel, and if you think there could still be something between us.”
And he is. “I don’t know what to say. How can you have not loved me and now have feelings for me?”
He sighed and rubbed his hands together. “I know. It’s confusing for me too. I haven’t dated anyone else, really. I have missed you.”
“Let me just stop you.” She put her hand up. “Like you, I’ve had awhile to think about us. And I’m sorry. I don’t want to go down that road again.” She paused. “I’m also seeing someone.”
“You’re what?”
He probably thought she was mental, since just two days before she’d told him she wasn’t seeing anyone. “I’m dating someone at the moment. It’s not serious, yet.”
“This millionaire person? The person who sent you flowers?” He paced. “I’m confused. You told me you weren’t seeing him.”
“I wasn’t, or I tried not to be. But he just kept up and I couldn’t fight it anymore.”
“What do you mean he wouldn’t give up and you couldn’t fight?” He stopped dead in his tracks. “Did he hurt you?”
Oh God, no. Never. She couldn’t imagine Neil ever laying a hand on her in a mean way. “No, no. He was just persistent about his feelings and I denied mine until I couldn’t any longer.”
“Has EJ met him?” He glared at her.
Krista shook her head.
“Don’t you dare let them meet until I meet him. In fact, we need to arrange this soon.” His tone was full of anger now.
“Calm down.” This was escalating quickly.
“You want me to calm down? I tell you I want to try again and now I learn the man you told me you weren’t involved with, you are.” He groaned. “I want to meet him.”
Krista knew she couldn’t deny Todd the chance to meet Neil. Things were more complicated when a child was involved. She could only imagine telling Neil this. He’d probably see what he’d gotten himself into and get out quickly.
“I’ll set something up soon.”
Todd opened his car door. “So you and I? No chance?”
“Todd, you don’t want me. And the only reason you think you do is because I’m suddenly unavailable. You don’t love me and you never did.”
“That’s not true.”
“You were never in love with me.”
He was silent. He stared at her a moment before he climbed into his car, closing the door. A moment later he started the car and left. Krista sighed, thankful their talk was over.
Inside, she went into EJ’s room, plopped down on his bed, and watched as he navigated his way through his new video game. She thought about talking to him, but instead sat there silently trying to make sense of what had just happened.
* * *
“You just tell me when and I’ll be there. It’ll be fine, I promise.” Neil leaned back in his office chair.
“Are you sure? You’re probably wondering who the heck you’ve gotten yourself involved with.” Krista sighed.
He switched his cell phone to the other ear. “Krista, I don’t know any other way to say it, other than, it’s fine. I understand why he wants to meet me.”
“Thank you. I’ve been dreading this call.”
“Don’t ever be afraid to ask me anything. I’ve been on this earth for quite some time and your ex has the right to meet me before I encounter his son. He wants to make sure I’m not some weirdo or anything.”
She laughed. “Where did you come from? I’m still in shock by this whole thing.”
Tana, his secretary, knocked on the glass by his door. “I’m sorry to cut this short, but I’ve got a meeting. Don’t stress. It’ll
be fine.”
“Okay. Talk to you soon.”
“You bet.” He set his cell phone on his desk and motioned to Tana he was ready.
A moment later, Ian walked into his office. Neil stood and put his hand out to shake his friend’s hand. Ian took a seat in front of the desk and Neil sat in his.
“How was the club this weekend?”
“Packed. I missed seeing you there.”
Neil grinned. He’d had a pretty fantastic weekend away from the club.
“Something tells me I won’t be seeing you there too much.” Ian raised an eyebrow. “Has the sought-out bachelor, Neil Clark, been wrangled?”
Wrangled and branded. “I’m afraid so.”
Ian laughed. “Oh, man. I never thought I’d see this day. Is it the woman you told me about the other day?”
“It is.”
“Congrats. I hope it works out.”
Neil hoped so too. “I hope to still be by the club for poker nights and such. Just no more setting me up. Hopefully some nights Krista can get a sitter and come with me.”
“She has a kid?”
“Yup. A son around seven.”
“Wow. By any chance did you hit your head or something? This is a complete one-eighty for you.”
Neil chuckled. “I know. I still wonder if this is true. But there is something about this woman that makes me want to put the ball and chain to my leg.”
“As long as you don’t expect me to follow suit, we’ll be okay.”
“Ah, you never know.” He reached for the phone to call Tana. “Want coffee or anything before we get this meeting going?”
“Coffee would be good.”
He pressed the intercom button. “Tana, could you bring in two cups of coffee. Thanks.” He turned his attention back to Ian. “Let’s talk about my second favorite subjects: business and money.”
* * *
“Why do you keep putting it off?” Jamie sat across the kitchen table from Krista.
“It gets real then.” Krista sighed. “Until I really know it’s going to work between Neil and I, do I want to get this ball rolling? Why go through the hassle of Todd meeting him, followed by EJ, when this might not work out?”
