I’m going to let Kali take the lead, because she needs it, but I’m also going to make it easier for her to choose me. The lesson won’t be a problem, and I’ve got another shirt to wear, but what else can I do that will be subtle, but convincing at the same time?
Thoughts of this, and beyond keep me busy as I eat, but when I slide between my sheets, there’s only one thing on my mind. Or rather, one woman, and several things I want to do to her again. The bed feels empty around me as I take my hard cock in hand, and close my eyes. Visions of Kali over the years have me stroking and tugging hard. What she let me do to her, how she tastes, how she gets me off…it’s all there, and as I imagine it’s her hand and mouth on me, I come hard. That was good, but I need the real thing, both in this bed, and out of it.
Chapter 20
Kali
I brace myself to see Theo again today, knowing he’s not going to play fair. Why would he when he knows I want to see him? He doesn’t know I spent the last two days seeing my therapist, and giving myself pep talks, but I did. I talked, and I thought, and I’m on the road to accepting what I had to do, and not blaming myself for what happened to him—or me.
I was playing a part, one I had to play, but not one I would’ve chosen for myself. I wouldn’t have allowed myself to be hurt—or hurt the people I love—if I’d had a choice.
It’s not like when I was drugged, and had no control over what happened. I’ve forced myself not to dwell on that, although we talk about it too, because it’s why a part of me thought I should take what Sean gave me. When he sometimes said I was “dirty” or “disgusting”, I thought of those pictures, and had to fight hard not to believe him. What he did to me overshadowed all that, but when I started therapy, I made the decision to face everything. Picking and choosing what was more important wouldn’t have helped me heal.
My therapist, who works at C&C, but has been meeting me at my apartment, has been leading me to the realization about it being a part I played from day one, but I resisted it. I was closer to accepting everything once I talked to my girls, but Theo has always been what’s holding me back. I told myself what I did to him was unforgiveable, and inexcusable. Having him say it wasn’t has broken down another one of my walls to acceptance, and while I still have a road ahead of me, it’s not as long as it was a few days ago.
My class starts trickling in, and I mentally shake my head at the low-cut, and tight tops the females are sporting. Even Ruth looks like she put on a little make-up.
“Hi, sweetheart,” Theo says, handing me a mug as he walks in.
The cup has scientific equations all over it, and is filled with Mike and Ike candies, which are my favorite. Yep, he’s pulling out all the stops. The tight tee that says “Forget lab safety, I want superpowers” isn’t helping me resist, either. Neither stops me from giving him a hard time, though.
“If you don’t practice the safety techniques I taught you, you’re going to be cleaning every beaker in this room—by hand.”
“Don’t you want to see me gain some new superpowers, Kal?”
I roll my eyes, and point. “Go sit down.”
He smirks, and gives me a salute before heading to his seat next to Ruth. He bumps her shoulder with his, and she blushes. Oh yeah, I remember those days.
“Let’s get started,” I say, once everyone’s taken their seats.
“Kali,” Ruth says, raising her hand.
“Yes?”
“Theo wasn’t here on the first day, so we didn’t get to hear why he chose this class.”
“Oh. I don’t think that’s necessary, since he’s just auditing.”
“I want to know,” one of the other girls says, and the whole class agrees.
“Okay,” I say, because what else can I do? “Theo, if you’re comfortable telling us why you’re here, please do.”
He leans back in his chair, and pins me with his sexy eyes. “I’m auditing this class because of a woman. The woman. The One.”
I can hear the sighs of the girls in the room, but I don’t look away. I couldn’t even if I wanted to.
“When I met her she was a girl, the most beautiful and brilliant girl I’d ever known. She stole my breath away with her beauty, and she stole my heart with her mind. I grew up without love, or a family, and she gave me more of both than I could ever imagine. One day, she let me kiss her, and one day sometime later, she let me do more. She gave me everything, and I took it all, even though I didn’t deserve the gifts she gave.
“When I got up the courage to ask her to be my wife, and she said yes, it was the best day of my life. And then I got called away to fight, and she let me go, thinking I was coming back to her. I thought I was coming back to her, too, but I was stupid. Just plain and simple, I was an idiot, and I lost her.
“Around two years ago, I got her back, and I vowed to keep her. I secretly learned everything I could about Science from our friends, because I wanted to impress her, and show her I cared about what she loves. But then, I did it again—I was stupid, and I lost her.”
“Dude, you fucked up twice?” One of the guys asked.
“Yeah, and that’s why I’m here. I’m here to show her how much she means to me, and let her know I’m never walking away again, no matter what happens. I love her too much to give her up without fighting with everything I have.”
Tears are falling down my cheeks, but I don’t try to wipe them away. Theo’s eyes never left mine, and I know he means every word he said. He loves me, and wants me, no matter what. There’s one part that hit me in the heart more than the others, though.
“You’ve been learning all this time?”
“Yeah, Audrey and Caleb help me when they can.”
“I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything.”
Oh, but I do. “Third chance has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”
He’s out of his chair, and pulling me into his arms before I get the last word out. His mouth lands on mine, and I kiss him back for a moment, before I hear the clapping, and whistles. Pulling back, I smile at him, then swat him on the arm.
“I have a class to teach.”
“If I do a good job with my experiment, will I get another kiss?”
“Now that I know you’ve been cheating, no.”
“Practicing, not cheating.”
“You didn’t hack into my syllabus?”
“No comment.”
“Sit down, and try to behave.”
“No promises.”
The rest of the class is uneventful, although Theo does put his hand on my ass when I go over to check their work. I let him keep it there, because I like it, but I flick him in the ear to let him know he can’t keep pushing his luck. I’m trying to appear at least a little bit professional.
After class, he waits for me when everyone else walks out. I take my time putting my things in my briefcase, because I don’t know what’s going to happen next. I know what I want, but I don’t know if it’s too soon to ask for it.
“Can I walk you to your car?”
“I didn’t drive today.”
“No?” he asks, coming to stand in front of me with a smirk on his face.
“Wipe that smirk off your face, or I’m going to punch you.”
That only makes his smile grow wider. “How were you planning on getting home, Kal?”
“You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you?”
“Nope. I’m going to make you ask for it.”
“Please take me for a ride, Theo.”
“Fuck yeah.”
“On your bike.”
“Sure, uh-huh, that’s what you meant.”
“You know what? I’m just going to Lyft it back home. You can take your motorcycle, and shove it up your ass.”
He reaches for me, but stops. “Don’t go.”
“You can grab me, Theo. I’ve never been scared of you.”
“You never have to be.”
“I know.”
“Please let me
give you a ride home.”
“I’d like that, thank you.”
Theo
Knowing Kali’s not scared of me, even after all that bastard did to her, makes my heart soar. She has no reason to be scared of me, but he messed with her mind, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she’d flinched away from me. It feels like a major victory that she didn’t.
It’s even better when she lets me help her out of her lab coat, carry her briefcase, and hold her hand as we walk outside. It feels like both old times, and new, and I love every second of it.
“Thanks for not giving up on me.”
“Right back at you, sweetheart.”
She stops, and looks at me. “I didn’t fight for you.”
“You knew it was a losing battle, because I was so caught up in trying to be loyal to people who didn’t deserve it. There’s no shame in retreating when you have no chance of winning.”
“I’m sorry, because I know you loved Meg and Donnie.”
“I did, but I have all these great people who care about me, and won’t betray me, so it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be. And I have the woman I love holding my hand, and that’s better than anything else in the world.”
“Anything?”
“Pretty much.”
“You think holding my hand is better than sex? Better than me taking you in my mouth and sucking hard?”
“Honestly, yes. I love being with you, and I came all over my hand last night, thinking of you having your mouth on me, but this right here means so much more. You walking next to me, and showing the world I belong to you…it’s the best. I should have better words for it, but I can’t think of them.”
“I know what you mean.”
We get to my bike, and I store her bag before helping her on. Her hands wrap around my waist, and it’s all I can do to focus on the road, and not pull over to bend her over the seat. Motorcycle sex isn’t really glamorous, but we’ve made it work once or twice when we were desperate for each other. Right now, I’m desperate for anything I can get.
Kali doesn’t question how I know where she lives, and I don’t question it when she opens the garage, and her car’s not in there. If I make some smart remark about how she wants to be alone with me and my bike, she might change her mind.
I pull in, and kill the engine while she closes the garage door again. Kickstand down, helmets off, and then it’s on.
I pull her around me, and she wraps her legs around me, while I brace my feet on the ground to hold us steady. “Hi.”
“Hi.”
“What are we doing, sweetheart?”
“I’d like to say we’re going to have sex on this sexy motorcycle, but I’m not sure I’m patient enough to be careful, and I don’t want to tip it.”
“Riding with me get you wet and ready?” I ask, knowing it did. She told me years ago that the vibration of the motor, along with having her hands on me, totally does it for her.
“Yes.”
I stand up, and she tightens her legs around me as I step over the bike, and walk to the closed door I know leads to her stairs. Yeah, I scoped out the place, and I have no remorse. She doesn’t seem surprised when I open the door, jog up the steps, and down the short hall to her bedroom.
“I’ve been here,” I admit, because I don’t want to keep any secrets from her again.
“I know. I got a whiff of you when I walked in yesterday. We’ll talk about it later.”
I kiss her, because it’s been too long since the kiss in the classroom, and I need her mouth on mine. Her lips part for me, and I slip my tongue inside. Her taste is familiar, and it makes me mourn for the time I lost with her.
“I’ve missed this…missed you.”
She smiles, and untangles her legs from me, dropping to the floor. When she goes to her knees, mine start to buckle.
“I’ve missed things, too. Take off your jeans for me, Theo.”
I keep my eyes on her as I do what she says, shoving the material down my legs. She licks her lips, and then she licks me. Fuck! She licks the crown, going in circles, and driving me crazy. I reach my hand down into her hair, and she looks at me again before taking me all the way into her mouth.
“Oh God, Kali.”
Those are the last coherent words I utter as she works me just the way I love it. Her hand joins her mouth, pumping me hard and fast, while sucking me so good. I hear a zipper, and look down to see her other hand in her pants, and I’m done. I come hard in her mouth, and when I’m done, I flip her onto the bed, and go for another round.
Her jeans and panties are off, and my tongue gets to work, while she takes me back into her mouth again. Recovery time isn’t even a thing, because I’ll never get enough of this woman.
For minutes, it all about tongues and hands, and teeth. I get dizzy from the taste of her pussy, and feel of her mouth, but there’s no way in hell I’m passing out right now.
When she starts to buck against my mouth, I focus on her clit, making her go crazy as she comes all over my tongue. She sucks me even harder as she’s shaking beneath me, and I go off again, not believing how much cum I still have left to give her, or that I’m still half-hard.
She flips me back over, and climbs on backwards, taking what she needs. I can barely catch my breath, but she’s got a second wind from somewhere, and who am I to deny her? I’ll just lie back, and try to stay alive…or die a very happy man.
“My breasts,” she says, whipping off her t-shirt and bra.
I immediately take them in hand, and squeeze her nipples between my fingers. She loves breast play, and I love playing with hers, so it’s all good. I want more than my hands on her, so I let go for a moment, and spin her around. My mouth latches on to one, and then the other, and her pussy clamps down on my cock almost immediately.
“Theo!” she screams, and I pump my hips up, coming right along with her.
When we’re both done, she collapses onto my chest, and kisses my pec. “You…that…sweetheart, I think you almost killed me. It was perfect.”
“Yes, it was.”
Chapter 21
Kali
I managed to make it through staff meetings, and student appointments today, but just barely. Theo and I ravaged each other all afternoon, night, and into the morning. I would’ve been embarrassed by how aggressive I was, but he wasn’t complaining. I made us steak and veggies last night, and we ate in bed, while talking about everything, and nothing. He made omelets this morning, before tossing me on my kitchen island, and eating something else. I’m delirious, happily sated, and incredibly horny. Yeah, even after my all night fuckfest, I still want my man and his cock.
Walking into the C&C apartments is surreal, now that I don’t live here, but it still feels like it’s my home. Maybe that should tell me something, or maybe I already know what I should do, and am just not ready to hear it yet. Either way, I’m here now, and like a heat-seeking missile, my body takes me outside to where it somehow knows Theo’s waiting for me.
He’s with the guys, and I’m immediately engulfed in hugs from my girls, but our eyes still hold each other’s. In his, I see the desire and need I have for him reflected back at me. The girls must sense that I’m not completely there with them, because they back away.
He moves, holding my gaze as he swaggers his way over to me. There’s no other word for the way he’s walking, and it should be completely ridiculous, but it’s not. It’s hot, and sexy, and God, am I a mess. A mess of need, and want, and Theo.
“Hi, Kal.”
“Really? That’s it?”
“You need something, sweetheart?”
“Not from you,” I tell his smug ass, turning away.
He grabs my arms, and pulls me back against him, letting me feel how happy he is to see me. “You know I’m feeling it,” he whispers in my ear. “You fucking know I want your pussy right now. But the ladies planned this night for you, so I have to behave and pretend like you didn’t wear that loose top simply because it’ll be ea
sy for me to pull down so I can suck on your tits.”
“Theo.”
It’s all I can say, because I’m so hot for him, and because he’s right. This billowy, off-the-shoulder white top is going to be so easy for him to pull down. He’s right about my friends planning this night for me, too, so I give myself a mental shake.
“Okay. After, you’re mine.”
“Always, and forever, Kalila Jackson. Always.”
Now I’m a puddle on the concrete, and he has to pull me by the hand back to the crowd of our friends. I don’t even want to know how starry-eyed I look.
“Don’t manhandle her, Theo,” Jade says, glaring at him.
“It’s fine, Jade,” I assure you. “Theo won’t ever hurt me like that.”
“So, when’s the wedding?” Sierra asks, and from the looks on everyone else’s faces, I know she just won some kind of bet, by being the one to ask.
“There won’t be one.”
“Kal?”
Theo looks so freaked out, I can’t help but kiss him before I answer. “I don’t need or want some big fancy thing. I was doing it back then for my mom, but I would’ve just gone down to the courthouse with you.”
“I wouldn’t have to wear a suit?”
“Didn’t say that.”
“Suit it is.”
“When you ask me, and if I say yes.”
“You’re tougher than you look, Kali,” Aiden says, a look of awe on his face.
“Yeah, she is,” Theo agrees.
“Enough of this serious stuff, let’s party,” Matisse says, and we all agree.
The night is full of fun, dancing, eating, drinking, and kissing my man. I’m sitting on his lap as everyone starts heading upstairs to be with their own lovers, and I don’t want to leave. Not this place, and not these people. I thought I had to, but now I know I don’t, and I just want to stay, and be part of all of this again.
“I want to come back.”
“I know.”
“How did you know before I did?”
“I watched you in class, and I could see it wasn’t enough for you.”
“I like it.”
