“NO, I’M TELLING YOU TO LEAVE! It’s obvious you want to continue to behave like an adolescent and choose to unfairly judge my relationship with my best friend. If you’re not going to behave like the man I know you are, then yes, here’s the door. Don’t let it hit you in the ass on your way out.”
Dropping my flowers, he took two strides and then had me pinned up against the door. He was savagely kissing me and holding me in place. I returned the same level of passion he was giving me with his wet kisses. His hard length was pressing into me, and I began to cry out in pleasure.
“No one, and I mean no one, has ever spoken to me like that before,” he grunted. “I fucking love it, and I want you so much that I’m about to take you right here.”
“Bedroom,” I said breathlessly. Picking me up and throwing me over his shoulders, that is exactly where we went but not before slapping me hard on my ass. He laid me out on my bed and stripped us both bare. Without a second thought, he had me wide open and he was between my legs, pleasuring me with his tongue until I could take no more. Screaming his name, I said, “Fuck me please… now Walker.” He handed me a condom, and I practically tore it open with my teeth. I slid it down his hard length, then he slammed into me with such a strong force, I let out a whimper. Then it was pure wanton pleasure and a thrill ride he was taking me on. Higher and higher my body was climbing, until my orgasm rocked my body. I spasmed over and over again. Oh shit! What about Freddy right in the next room? Too late to be embarrassed now, I just hope he is wearing his headphones.
Now that my man had been sated with angry sex, he slept soundly holding me tight. I ever so gently wiggled my way out from underneath his heavy limbs to go find Freddy.
My friend must have been out of his mind with worry. Freddy gave me a look that screamed that he was worried but he trusted my judgment, and I knew I could trust Walker. Freddy was seated at the table and eating pizza. “Hungry?” he asked, “You must be with all that rigorous exercise you just did.” Yup…he heard us, how could he not on account of how loud we were. “You have to tell him Reese, and you have to do it tonight. I’m sorry, but what his father is doing to you is not right, and your boyfriend needs to put a stop to it. For god’s sake, he sent one of his goons out to get you!”
Before I could answer him, Freddy had one more thing to say. “I had my reasons why I wanted to spend some alone time with you tonight.” My heart tightened as I watch my friend struggle with his words. Not being able to look me in the eyes he said, “I’ve been given the chance of a lifetime to work in Milan as a protégé to Ralph Lauren.”
“Wow! That is amazing, Freddy. When did you find out?”
“I’ve actually known for a couple of weeks now, but there was never a good time to tell you. Reese, this means that I will be moving to Milan, and that means leaving you.” That hit me like a punch to my stomach. Freddy was my best friend, and my only true friend that I trusted everything with. We have shared so much with each other, and since we met back in Georgia, we have kind of been a team.
“Hey! Where did you go Peaches?” I looked up into Freddy’s eyes, while mine filled with tears. I jumped right into his arms, and hugged him.
“I suck as a best friend, and I don’t know how you put up with me. I should have been here for you when you wanted to share your good news. I’m sorry. I’ve been so wrapped up in my relationship with Walker that he is all I see these days, and you should be pissed about how I have blown you off.”
“Well, Peaches… you blew something!”
“Freddy!” I shrieked in embarrassment. “I can’t believe you just said that. How can I even look at you with a straight face?”
“Let’s break it down, Peaches. One… don’t ever be embarrassed, especially with me and about sex. Two… what did you expect me to say after your wall banging romp with your hot man? Three... I am far from straight, so please let me have my fun for a little while longer?”
“I love you, best friend.”
“I love you more. Now let’s talk about the angry hot man that is passed out in the next room. Reese, from what I see, he loves you. He clearly is protective of you, and the way he looked at me when he arrived here tonight speaks volumes on how he feels about you. That guy wanted to put some hurting on me, best friend or not. He’s a guy that saw another guy’s hands on his woman. He’s in deep Peaches, and so are you. He is the first person other than me that you have let in, so don’t shut him out now.” Freddy knew me better than anyone, and I knew he was right.
“Okay Freddy, I will. You’re always right, and I promise to talk to him. Do you mind giving me some time alone with him?”
“Not at all. I’m meeting up with some friends in the Village. I saved you some pizza. Call me if you need me.” One more hug to Freddy, and I made my way back to Walker. I slowly opened my bedroom door and found Walker sitting up with his back to my headboard. The sheet was barely covering his beautiful muscled body.
I took in every inch of him, as wetness pooled between my legs, and my mouth thirsted to taste him. I took his face in my hands, kissed him, and showed him how much I loved him. I kissed my way down to his hard, throbbing dick. Going on natural instinct, I looked up at him while I let my tongue slide up and over his bulbous head. His scent was intoxicating. I let my hand wrap around him and guided his cock into my mouth while pumping it. I loved the taste of him, and I could feel him leaking pre-cum. My mouth dripping with saliva all the way to the base. I started to move slowly. Then it was if I couldn’t get enough…I was ravenous for him.
He reached down and held my head, guiding me up and down his length. I could feel his balls tightening. He was getting close. When I thought he was going to come, he pulled me up and flipped me to my back. He whispered, “I need you so much baby, please let me love you.”
“Yes, I need you too. Love me, and love me now.”
The conversation that needed to happen would have to wait until morning. Walker took me all night long, until my sensitive bud throbbed so much after our aggressive love making, that I could do no more. Our sweaty bodies soaked through my sheets. He carried me into the shower and washed me from head to toe, not missing one ounce of me. I loved showers with him, but I was exhausted and he knew it. After making up my bed, we fell into each other.
I placed my head on his chest and listened to the drums of Walker’s heartbeat. It was fast at first, and then with each beat, it slowed down. I knew he was sleeping. My mind was over stimulated, and I knew I shouldn’t be afraid, but I was. We were so different and had completely different backgrounds. I still questioned how we were together, but from the beginning Walker had shown me that he didn’t care about anyone’s opinions. Freddy was right, I had to trust my heart in Walker’s hands and let him in. Taking in some calming breaths, my eyes finally began to close; I drifted off into peaceful sleep with my beautiful man holding me.
He moved only once and kissed the top of my head. He knew me so well already. How did this happen? How could I be so lucky?
I heard him say, “Don’t over think it babe. I love you.”
I whispered back, “I love you too, Walker. So much.”
ROLLING OVER TO find his side of the bed cold and no Walker in sight, I quickly got up to look for him. Pain was constricting around my heart for some strange reason. Why am I thinking he’s gone, and last night was his way of saying goodbye to me? Am I just this clueless girl that his father thinks I am? Wrapping my arms around myself, there was no sign of Walker throughout my apartment. I looked again for maybe a note he might have left, but nothing. Until I heard my front door open and close.
There he stood, my beautiful man holding two bags of delicious smelling baked goods and coffee. I took the picture of him in, and all of a sudden the dam burst with my tears falling fast down my cheeks. I turned away from him, and ran to lock myself in my bathroom. He called out to me, but I ignored him. I cried until there were no more tears. Walker demanded that I open the door for him or he was going to kick it in. I s
plashed cold water on my face, opened the door, and just hung my head.
“Reese, what the hell? What is going on with you, and why are you crying? I’m so sorry for behaving the way I did last night. I thought we had resolved this and we are okay.” Staring at my feet so that he had to lift my chin to look at me, he said, “Babe… please tell me what’s wrong?”
I buried my face in to his chest. His intoxicating scent calmed me. I whispered the words that made my mouth taste like vinegar, “It’s your father.”
“What about my father? Has he done something to upset you? Please tell me Reese, and do not leave out any details.”
Now that I had said the words to him, he waited for me to explain. I felt sick to my stomach that I had to have this conversation with him. We walked to the couch, he handed me my coffee and a scone. It smelled delicious, and I felt guilty for even thinking he was leaving me, while all along he was simply getting us breakfast. I couldn’t resist the pastry, so I took a couple of bites before talking with Walker. He smiled at me knowing his kind gesture had made me happy. I put down my coffee to take hold of Walker’s hands. “This is hard for me to say to you because I never want to be the one that hurts you, but you do need to know.”
“Reese, you say you don’t want to hurt me, then prove it. Please tell me that you love me, and only me. What did I walk in on yesterday? You say it’s about my father. You must tell me how that bastard hurt you. I swear to god that he will never have the opportunity to do that again!”
“I love you… I want you… and only you! I’m afraid that we are up against something far too big for either one of us to handle. Your father has made it perfectly clear that I am not his choice for you, and he will stop at nothing to rid me from your life. He wants me to end things with you and hand you over to Elizabeth. He sent his driver for me yesterday. I was so scared that I ran from him and came straight home.”
“Are you fucking kidding me? He sent Ralston?”
“Yes, I believe that was his name. He said he didn’t mean to scare me, but he was to deliver me to your father at his office for a meeting.”
“Oh hell no, that will never happen. Did he touch you, Reese?” I shook my head no at him. “Reese, I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am that he is such an asshole, and he is still trying to run my life. Please, babe, you have to trust me and trust that I will take care of this. I will end this bullshit today!”
“Walker, how are you going to do that? He will cut you off, and then where will you be? You have to finish school and become all the great things that you are destined to be. I won’t be the reason you jeopardize your future.”
“That stubborn man who I share blood lines with has no idea about who the hell I am. He has only his way of thinking, and he only wants to control people. He never listens to anyone else! That is going to change, believe me.”
“Walker, I can’t compromise your life and what has been planned for you.”
Cutting me off and holding my now wet face in his hands, he said, “Reese, I might as well let my father cut me down at my knees, because if I lose you, then my future is fucked anyway. Everything that I thought I wanted before meeting you has become an afterthought. When I look at you, this is what I see. I see you walking down the aisle in a beautiful, white dress designed by Freddy, and escorted by your grandfather. You’ll look so beautiful that I can hardly breathe. I see you holding our newborn son or daughter in your arms. I kiss your lips, and whisper thank you for making me the happiest man in the world. I see you and our children by my side when I cut the ribbon to the new building that I have designed. I see us growing old together, Reese. We will enjoy the family that we created. We will welcome our grandchildren into the world. Forever, baby… I only see forever when I look at you. That’s the future I want Reese, and I will not let my father take that away from me, or us. Please believe me, and tell me right here and now that you want it too.”
He didn’t have to ask me twice, of course I want this with him, how can I not? I love him so much, and although it has only been a short time for us, sometimes you just know when it’s perfect. Walker is my perfect, and I believe every word that he has said to me. I will face his ruthless father with Walker holding my hand. I promise not to be intimidated by Phillip Reed again. We made passionate love, sealing our commitment to one another. Walker kissed me goodbye tenderly. I hated to see him leave, but I knew where he needed to go.
Freddy came home a few hours later, and I told him everything that happened with Walker. He was relieved that we worked things out and that Walker knew everything that was going on with his father. My stomach was doing flip flops, I was so nervous. I glanced over to the time on the clock. It had been hours since he left, and I had heard nothing from him. I was about to dial his number when I heard my front door open. Walker was coming through it as if he lived here for years. Not waiting for him to take his coat off, I rushed to his side. I wrapped my arms around his waist and held him.
He just sighed and held me close. We stood there for what seem like forever until he broke our connection and he guided me back to my bedroom. He dropped his wallet and keys, kicked off his shoes, and stripped down to his boxers. The sight of him made my heart just speed up with want for him, but I think he needed something else from me tonight. I slipped out of my clothing and took his hand. We wrapped ourselves around each other and said nothing. Walker just kissed me and held me in his arms throughout the night.
Whatever happened with his father, he clearly wasn’t ready to share with me. I only acted on his signals and knew when he was ready… I would be here to listen. I was just praying that he didn’t change his mind about us.
I looked over to my side table to check the time, and my clock blinked five a.m. Oh this godly hour, but we did go to sleep early, so my eyes were wide awake. Walker was still asleep, but something else was awake on him. I gently began stroking his hard length, and ever so carefully guided his boxers down, releasing his hard erection. I so wanted to pleasure him this way. He only let me a couple of times before, and always wanted to let me be on the receiving end. Not this morning. It was my turn to rock his world, and I wouldn’t allow him to stop me. I took him deep into my mouth as I used my hand to stroke up and down his hard length, massaging him underneath his heavy balls. He moved his hips while he groaned out his cries of pleasure. He wasn’t stopping me. He was encouraging me to continue and take in all of him. I did that and more until he exploded into my mouth. I let the warm liquid slide down my throat. I looked up to him as he smiled, and he grabbed my face, kissing me.
“Oh baby, that was amazing, I fucking love how I taste on your beautiful lips.” I kissed him back and he rolled me over to take me again, and again, until we were spent. Who needs the gym when you have Mr. Sex on Legs giving you a non-stop cardio workout?
I looked over to the window and watched the snow begin to fall. What a beautiful sight to take in. Living in the south, you really don’t get the opportunity to experience a real winter. I just wanted to run outside and catch snowflakes on my tongue. Instead, I asked Walker, “Can you tell me what happened with your father?” He took in a deep breath, and told me no. I was surprised by his answer, but I didn’t push him. We held each other for another hour or so, and then we both needed to get up for our classes. Freddy was already gone by the time we made our way in to the kitchen. Coffee was on the stove, bless his heart.
We walked hand in hand on the grounds of NYU, and felt the snow and ice under our feet. This was amazing. I couldn’t wait to call Nana today to tell her about my first snow experience. That is, until I hit an ice patch and fell hard on my ass. Walker almost fell too, but he was quicker on his feet. “Stop laughing at me, you jerk, and help me up.” Now my ass was wet, and I could feel the cold wetness through my gloves. “I’m sorry babe, but that was too funny and I needed that. Thanks for making my day.”
“My pleasure, baby… Always happy to embarrass myself for you.”
“No chance at that happen
ing, Reese, I love you.”
“I love you too. I have to get to class now, have a great day.” We kissed and walked in opposite directions. I tried not to let it bother me that he didn’t tell me about his father, and I held on to the hope that everything would be okay. After my classes, I went over to the Elite offices downtown to meet up with Marsha. She had me booked for my first cover; I couldn’t contain my happiness over it. I was going to be on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine… How did she manage to pull this off? Marsha was an amazing agent. She always pushed for the best for her clients. Oh how lucky I was to be one of them.
“You are a hot ticket, my southern belle, and several designers are requesting you for their spring lines. Can you imagine, Reese? You can be modeling in Milan for fashion week. Are you excited, or what?”
I was beyond thrilled with the opportunity that I had been given. I hugged Marsha, and we went over my calendar for my upcoming shoots and shows. Most of my work was planned around my school schedule. Marsha tried hard to accomplish that. From the beginning, I was adamant about work not interfering with school, but we always seemed to make it work. As I looked over the December dates, I noticed that I was booked out the week of Christmas. That was the same week I planned on introducing Walker to my grandparents back home in Georgia.
“Marsha, I can’t work on Christmas, and it’s my birthday. I need to be home in Georgia, not halfway across the world.”
“I’m sorry doll, but if you want this cover, then that’s when it’s happening.” How was I going to explain this to my family, let alone Walker? He couldn’t wait to meet my grandparents, and he wanted to ask my Granddaddy for his blessing to marry me.
“I’m sorry, Marsha, but I’m going to have to pass.” I thought my agent was going to faint.
