Falling Completely (Starling Falls #1)

by Aidan Willows

  The drive back to Trudy’s house was a silent one. Niki had dozed off as soon as she had got into the car. The weird tension had returned between me and Caleb, as if neither of us knew what to say to the other, despite having spent the last couple of hours with each other.

  “So…”

  “Hey, thanks...”

  We both began at the same time and chuckled nervously.

  “You go first.” He said.

  “No. You go first.” I responded, still annoyed at having lost the battle over being driven home and not particularly wanting to follow yet another of his demands.

  I had expected him to get annoyed by my response, so was surprised when he starting laughing. “Are you going to fight me on everything, Liya?”

  “Probably.” I replied honestly. “What were you going to say?”

  “I was going to say, thanks for coming to dinner. I know my aunt can be intense at times. But it meant a lot to her that you agreed to come.”

  “Your aunt is lovely, I had a great time. It’s been just me and Niki for a long time now; it was nice being around other people.” I said quietly.

  “You want to talk about it, Angel?” he asked softly.

  “Not right now.” I paused “Why do you call me Angel?”

  “It suits you. It’s what you looked like to me, when I first saw you.”

  “You mean when you had just sustained a concussion and were delirious?” I asked teasingly

  “I may have been delirious, but I wasn’t wrong. You do look like a little angel.” he said giving me a heated look.

  I swallowed and looked away from him as I tried to calm my rapidly beating heart.

  When we got to the house and the car stopped, Niki woke up. “Are you okay?” Caleb asked her, helping her out of the backseat.

  “Yep, I’m fine thanks” she gave Caleb a hug and peck on the cheek. “Thanks for tonight. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around.” she said mischievously as she climbed the dark porch steps and opened the door. I heard her start to climb the stairs and turned back to Caleb, as the front door swung shut again.

  “Why’s your porch light not working?” he said gruffly.

  “Bulb went out, we haven’t got round to changing it yet.”

  He grumbled under his breath. “I’ll come round on Saturday morning to fix it.”

  “I’m perfectly capable of…” I didn’t get a chance to finish my sentence. Caleb spun my body and pressed my back up against the wall next to the door.

  It was too dark to see him properly, but I felt the heat radiating off of his body.

  “Caleb… What are you- ”

  He pressed his mouth to mine roughly, demanding entrance. I opened my mouth and allowed his tongue to explore.

  He nibbled on my bottom lip and began attacking my mouth more passionately.

  His hand ran down my body to cup my bottom, he squeezed and kneaded the cheeks. “Oh God… Caleb…”

  Hearing me say his name, made him growl. His lifted the skirt of my dress, running his hands along my thighs to cup my mound. My hips bucked into his hand.

  “You wet for me, Angel?” he murmured in my ear. I was panting too hard to respond, as he kept squeezing the mound hard.

  “Tell me, baby. And I’ll give you what you want.”

  “Yes. Yes, I’m wet for you Caleb.”

  “Good girl.” He growled in my ear. I nearly sobbed when his hands left my aching pussy. He grabbed me by the hips and lifted me. My legs automatically wrapped around his body.

  He pinned me against the door and lifted up my dress. He rained kisses on my neck, working his way down to my cleavage. When he got to the curve of my breast, he licked and nibbled on the sensitive flesh.

  I arched my back “Please Caleb, please. I need more” I cried out, trying to stimulate myself against him.

  “Fuck, Liya. You begging me is so fucking sexy.” He began grinding his bulge against my covered pussy, and I was shocked at how close I was to coming.

  He kept grinding himself against my aching clit and took my mouth in a deep, wet kiss.

  “Cal… baby. Please” He rubbed himself harder against me and commanded in a gruff voice “Come. Come for me, Liya.”

  I threw my head back and shattered, panting and moaning his name.

  “Fuck, that was beautiful. I want another one.” He unhooked my shaking legs from around his waist and set me back on the ground. Using his body weight he pressed my body further into the wall.

  He groped and played with my breasts through my dress. “The sight of you in this fucking dress, has been torturing me all damn night. That was naughty of you baby, teasing me with all these gorgeous curves, in front of my family, where I couldn’t play with you. Next time you tease me, there’s going to be consequences Angel.”

  My body shuddered at the thought of what those consequences might be.

  His dirty talk had me panting for him all over again. He licked my bottom lip and pressed a kiss to the corner of my mouth. His hand trailed up my thigh and slipped under my panties to play with my aching pussy.

  “Shit. Your pussy is so hot and wet. You aching, Angel? You want me to make the ache go away?”

  “Yes, please Caleb.” I moaned as his fingers circled my clit.

  “What, Liya? What do you want?”

  “Your cock, Caleb. I want you deep in me.” I moaned out, in between deep breaths.

  “Fuck, don’t tempt me Liya. The first time you get my cock, it’s not going to be outside against a fucking wall. I want to take my time exploring every luscious inch of you.” He slipped a finger straight in my pussy. “Your tight little pussy is clenching down on my finger so hard. Let’s see how it likes two.”

  “Ohhhh God, Caleb. Ahhhh, what are you doing to me?” I managed to gasp out.

  “I’m going to finger fuck your pussy, until you come all over my hand, baby.” He slipped two thick fingers into me and began thrusting them in and out so forcefully, my whole body shook.

  “You’re getting close. I can feel your sweet little pussy squeezing hard.” He pulled his fingers out abruptly and spanked my pussy lips hard several times, each time rubbing the ache he had caused, before shoving his fingers back in me.

  “Caleb! Harder. Please, I want you to make me come.” He sped up the pace and I began to quiver.

  “Come now, Angel. Let me have it.”

  My chest heaved with force of the orgasm that slammed into me. Caleb gently kept his fingers thrusting in and out of my pussy, until the tremors stopped. From the dim light on the street lamp, I saw him extract his fingers from my pussy and bring to his mouth, licking them clean.

  “Oh, God.” I whispered at the erotic sight.

  “You taste like the sweetest vanilla and honey, Angel.” he growled in my ear “I can’t wait to enjoy all that honey straight from the source.” My breath hitched in my chest.

  He pulled me to him once more and dominated my mouth with his. I could taste myself on his tongue. “Go inside and make sure you lock the door behind you. I’ll text you later.” he said placing a final deep kiss on my swollen lips.

  “Wait…” I said softly into the darkness “What about you?”

  Caleb chuckled and cupped the neck, pulling me into him for a gentle kiss “You’re sweet baby. But for now, just hearing you come is enough for me.”

  Unable to speak, I just nodded. “Go inside, Liya.”

  He waited for me to go into the house, and I heard his car start and pull away from the kerb. I washed my face and quickly changed in the bathroom. I gasped when I opened the bathroom door and saw a flash of black move in the dim lighting. The Cat came sat in the hallway, directly in my path, staring at me judgingly with its sinister green eyes.

  “Go away Cat! You don’t understand how long it’s been! Stop judging me!” The feline didn’t blink, it just kept staring at me. “Move. I need to go to sleep.” The Cat proceeded to lick its whiskers and bared it sharp canines at me with a hiss.

  I kept my back
to the wall and edged around the creepy animal. The cat rotated only its head and watched me walk backwards to my room. I could have sworn it was sneering at me menacingly, plotting my demise.

  I got into my room and crawled under the covers. I stared at the ceiling for a long while, trying to process what had just happened outside. When I had just started to drift off to sleep, I heard my phone’s message alert sound from my bedside table. I opened the phone to see a message from Caleb.

  Caleb: I’m going to be having sweet dreams tonight thanks to you, Angel. You’re so fucking beautiful when you come for me. I can’t wait to make you moan again. X

  If I was being honest, neither could I.

  I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had an orgasm so intense. A flicker of desire ran through me as I remembered how his body had felt pressed against mine.

  Crap. The man has an effect on me even from a distance…

  I realised Caleb was dangerous man for someone like me.

  He was a danger I’d had a small taste of and now wanted more.

  Caleb

  My dick was hard enough to pound nails the whole ride back to the house. I headed straight for the shower when I got home.

  I adjusted the water to the perfect temperature and stepped under the showerhead. I groaned when the hot water touched my painfully throbbing cock. My hand started stroking my length firmly; I knew I was so wound up it wouldn’t take long for me to come.

  I closed my eyes and recalled Liya’s moans as I rubbed myself against her and she desperately begged me to make her come. I could still taste her on my tongue. I gave a satisfied grunt and came harder than I ever had before all over the wall of the shower.

  I rested my head back against the tile, trying to avoid getting the stitches on my head wet. I turned, so my back was facing the shower head and let the hot water soothe the tense muscles in my shoulders.

  I got out and dried off, wrapping a towel around my waist and headed towards my room. I ran into Nate in the hallway.

  He looked at me “You good?” he rumbled.

  I beamed at him. “Hell yes.”

  Nate raised his eyebrows, nodded at me perceptively and flashed me a small smirk before walking away.

  I opened the door to my room and pulled on a pair of boxers, picked up my phone and slid into bed. I sent Liya a message and wasn’t bothered when she read the message but didn’t reply. I was already impatient to see her again.

  I’d dated enough to know that the carnal, explosive attraction between us was a rare occurrence.

  I had a feeling that Liya was going to fight the attraction between us tooth and nail. She would definitely put up a fight at the idea of us being together.

  Too bad I didn’t care. Tonight had just made me more determined.

  She was feisty, funny, sexy and my family liked her.

  I could be very persuasive when I needed to be. Maliya would be mine.

  Chapter 14

  Maliya

  Last night was a mistake. A gargantuan and idiotic mistake.

  I can’t believe I let it get so far last night. I must have been temporarily possessed again. I bet it’s the damn goldfish’s fault, it was sending out its mind controlling vibes for its own amusement, while I stood innocently on the porch…

  I realised I had to sort this out with Caleb as soon as possible. I needed to tell him in no uncertain terms, that last night was a one off incident, which would not be repeated.

  I wasn’t sure how I was going to begin this conversation with him.

  I had a feeling we were on very different pages after the dry humping incident outside my house.

  Knowing that I was going to see him again when his family came in for breakfast had caused nervous butterflies in my stomach and I needed them to go away.

  “HELLO?! Earth to Maliya!” a voice yelled startling me. I looked at Mitchell, who I assumed from the unimpressed look on his face had been trying to get my attention for some time.

  “What is it?”

  “Bitch, I’ve asked five times to bring out more almond croissants from the back. Why are you so distracted today?”

  “I’m not distracted, jackass.” Our relationship is really developing very nicely.

  I picked up the tray of freshly baked croissants from the worktop.

  My stomach chose this moment to growl, reminding me that I had been too nervous to eat any breakfast this morning.

  “You got a tiger trapped in there?” Mitchell asked coming to stand beside and he started poking the soft flesh of my abdomen repeatedly. I stared at him in disbelief.

  Does this boy have a death wish? If there was one area on a woman’s body you definitely didn’t go around poking, that was surely it.

  I grabbed his pointy finger and pulled it backwards sharply, making him squeal in pain.

  “NO! Bad boy!” I told him firmly and released his finger to tap his nose hard.

  “Bitch! That hurt. Are you on the rag or something?”

  “I wish people would stop assuming that my charming personality is due to me menstruating.” I took a bite of one the almond paste filled croissants and the flavour of the warm, nutty marzipan filling exploded on my tongue.

  Oh my God. So freaking good. This may be my new favourite item on the menu.

  Mitchell eyed me warily “Okay, if you say so. But, in the interest of wanting all of my limbs to remain attached to my body, I think it would be best if we avoided each other today.”

  He took the pastries from my hand and gave me a wide berth as he walked around me to leave the kitchen.

  “It’s probably for the best.” I called out after him, as Niki entered the kitchen.

  She looked at me and shook her head disapprovingly “Stop harming the staff. They’re either going to quit or sue us and then we’ll be screwed.”

  “I didn’t mean to hurt him yesterday. He just came too close to me when I was carrying the hot tray.”

  “He was stood across the room. You moved towards him with the tray!”

  “He said my arse looked big in my jeans!” Which it kind of did. But still. How rude.

  Niki rolled her eyes at me. “Get out here, we’re busy and I could use some help on the tills.”

  I came out of the kitchen and was temporarily confused when I saw the bakery not busy at all and froze when I saw Debbie and Addie Jameson come in and sit at a table. If they were here, I figured that Caleb probably wasn’t far behind.

  I was going to run and hide in the kitchen but Niki blocked my exit “You dirty little liar!” I hissed at her.

  “I knew you would just hide back there if I told you the truth.” she said far too calmly for my liking as she spun me around.

  Debbie caught my eye, smiled and waved us over.

  Oh no. Eye contact has been made. There is no going back now.

  I slyly pinched my sister on the upper arm before I made my way over to their table, and felt satisfaction when I heard her little gasp of pain.

  “Good morning, Debbie. How are you?” she looked fresh faced and didn’t seem to be suffering from any kind of aftereffects from all the alcohol consumed last night.

  “I’m great, thanks sweetheart. I can’t say the same for my niece though.” she said stroking Addie’s hair.

  Addie had sunglasses on her face and had her head resting on the palms of her hands, her long, dark hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun.

  She groaned miserably. “Me and tequila are not friends anymore. It used to be a beautiful relationship, but then it hurt me bad. I feel so betrayed.”

  I chuckled “Yeah… you can never trust those pretty little liquors with their smooth talk and their misleading ways. They make you think everything is going to be okay with their promises of fun times ahead, but they always lie.”

  Addie nodded in agreement and then winced from the pain the movement had caused.

  Niki arrived with a tray filled with a selection of pastries, a cup of coffee and a glass of water and another glass fil
led with a red concoction. She placed the coffee in front of Debbie and the pastries in the middle of the table.

  She then turned to Addie and placed the red concoction in front of her. “Drink all of this in one go.”

  I looked at Addie. “Is that Mama’s hangover cure?”

  “Yep.”

  “What’s in it?” Addie asked, eyeing the glass suspiciously.
