Best Friends Forever

by L. A. Thompson

  While the coffee brewed, I wandered back out into the main room of the library to help clean up the trash. Mr. Hansen had brought in a large garbage can and had it filled half full of torn paper and broken glass from the window Brittney and Tanya broke. I began picking up books that were strewn around the room and checking them for damage before stacking them back on the shelves. Keeping them in order for when they’re boxed up will make it easier when we find an empty classroom for their temporary home. “Ms. Mac, it looks like someone’s coming.”

  I tensed at Mr. Hansen’s words and suddenly realized just how nervous...and, yes, frightened...the whole ordeal had made me. Stepping close to the door, I peered toward the grassy clearing at the front of the library. A man and a woman were making their way to the front steps and I breathed a sigh of relief. “They’re here to help with this mess.” I opened the door and greeted Bobby before giving Cynthia a hug. This girl is fast becoming like a younger sister to me, I realized. Both had big grins on their faces and Cynthia squealed with delight as she hugged me.

  “Oh, Ms. Mac, we have the best news!” I couldn’t help but grin at her infectious joy. “Didn’t I tell you to call me Meri?” I asked teasingly. “Meri, you’ll never guess what just happened.” She hugged Bobby’s arm tightly and bounced up and down. “You tell her, Bobby. I’m too excited to speak.” Bobby smiled indulgently down at her. Oh, it looks like I was right about pushing these two together. They are so cute together and they obviously like each other. From the look on Bobby’s young face, he liked Cynthia a lot. “Well somebody please tell me what’s going on before I die of suspense,” I joked. They both grinned at me. “Well, you asked me to escort Cindy...” Cindy? “To her dorm room to pick up her belongings so she wouldn’t be alone with her crazy roommates.” I nodded.

  “Well, when we got there, one of the assistant Deans and the dorm RA were already there, waiting for Cindy.” Again with the Cindy? Wow, he moves fast. My imagination was doing a little happy dance at the thought of these two together as a couple. They’re so cute. “The local cops picked up Brittney and Tanya a few hours ago. Their parents have been notified that they and their daughters need to appear at a hearing with the Dean tomorrow afternoon but it’s pretty much a done deal that they’re being expelled.” Cynthia gave a small relieved laugh and smiled up at Bobby before looking back at me. “So I don’t have to change dorm rooms, Meri. All their stuff has been packed up and put into the storage room. In fact,” she grinned. “I’ve got the room all to myself since we’re so close to the end of the school year.”

  I wrapped my arms around her and we gave each other a big hug, grinning from ear to ear. “Cynthia, that’s wonderful! Although, I have to say, it was kind of nice having you just down the hall from me. I’ll miss having you for a neighbor.” She giggled. “We’ll still see each other. After all, I’m going to help you put the library back together.” She looked around. “Now, what can I do? I’m here to work.” “I’d like to help, too, Meri,” Bobby chimed in. I looked around. “Bobby, why don’t you help Mr. Hansen get some boxes to place the books in while Cynthia and I check the books for damage and get them organized for moving?” “Sure thing. Where are you moving them to?”

  “I need to speak to the Dean and see if I can get a few of the smaller classrooms for study rooms and one large classroom for a temporary library. Once we have the rooms, we’ll use temporary shelving to hold what books we can. Hopefully, the students will have access to the books with minimal disruption.” “That’s a great idea, Meri,” Cynthia chimed in. I grinned at her enthusiasm. “Well, let’s get busy. The faster we get packed up, the faster Maintenance can get the place cleaned up and painted.” Bobby left with Mr. Hansen to round up some boxes while Cynthia and I grabbed a quick cup of coffee before sorting and shelving books. “At least they didn’t damage any of the books, Meri,” Cynthia smiled at me from across the table where we’re working.

  “Well that’s a good thing.” Both of us turned to see Grant coming through the front door. “Hey, baby, great news. The police caught Brittney and Tanya.” He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. “Yeah, I know.” He grinned smugly. “Oh? And how do you know?” “I just got off the phone with Detective Morgan twenty minutes ago. He told me they picked the girls up and are holding them until they can go before a judge tomorrow morning.” I sighed with relief. “I’m so glad that’s over.” “I also spoke to the Dean on my way over here.”

  “He cancelled the meeting we had with Brittany’s parents tomorrow morning and scheduled a hearing for both girls and their parents in the afternoon. He wants the three of us to be there.” “Don’t we still need to go to the police station in the morning? Detective Morgan wanted us to bring Cynthia in to give her statement.” “That’s okay, Meri. Bobby’s going to take me down to the police station so you won’t have to.” “Are you sure, sweetie?” She nodded vigorously. “He wants to take me to lunch afterwards.” “Oh, really?” I asked teasingly. “You and Bobby sure seem to hit it off.”

  She blushed. “He’s really sweet.” I grinned. “Yeah, he’s kind of cute, too.” “Hey, now,” Grant growled. I met Cynthia’s eyes and we burst out in giggles. Grant bent close to my ear and murmured softly, “You’re going to pay for that tonight, naughty girl.” Oh, Wow! My heart began racing and my face flushed. I raised one eyebrow and asked just as softly, “Naughty girl?” Grant’s chuckle was pure evil and made my panties damp. He glanced at Cynthia, whose eyes were watching us with barely concealed interest. “Will you excuse us a moment, Cynthia?” “Sure, Professor, I’ll...uh...I’ll just be over here sorting books,” she smiled knowingly.

  Grabbing my hand, Grant headed down the hall to my office, dragging me behind him. “Grant! What...wait...?” Pulling me into his office, he quickly shut the door behind us. “Grant...” I didn’t get a chance to ask him if he’d lost his mind before he was on me. Grabbing me by the shoulders, he pulled me tight against his hard body and crushed his mouth down over mine. “Gr...umph...” I opened my mouth to protest and his tongue slipped inside, effectively silencing me. Oh...oh my... His tongue swirled over my teeth and tongue, exploring every nook and cranny of my mouth. I went instantly brain dead. Even if I wanted to protest further...which I most definitely do not want to do...I couldn’t form two thoughts.

  I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and pulled him even closer. If I could, I’d climb inside his skin...oh god how I want to. Wrapping his long arms around me, Grant cupped my bottom with his large hands and pulled me snug against his hips. Oh my...I could feel the hard ridge that told me he wanted me as much as I wanted him. I gave in to my desire to purr and rub my body up against his like a cat in heat. Gasping for air, our mouths broke apart while our bodies continued to press tight against one another. Grant buried his nose in my neck and nuzzled that sensitive spot behind my ear that made me go all soft and gooey inside. At the sound of his deep, sensual groan, my panties became completely soaked.

  “Oh, I have missed you, my naughty little girl,” he growled in my ear. “Grant,” I pushed on his chest but he didn’t budge. Leaning my head back, I met his eyes and my heart turned to mush at the want and need I saw there. “We just saw each other a couple of hours ago.” “Yes, and that was one hundred and twenty minutes too long,” he grinned. I tried to look stern. “And just what exactly do you mean by naughty little girl and...I’m paying for what?” He kissed the tip of my nose and stared into my eyes. “You and your sexy little body have tortured me for years and I’m at the end of my rope here. I think a little discipline is in order…I need to show you who’s in control here once and for all.”

  For the first time in my life, I was speechless. Secretly thrilled and, yes, a little frightened at his intensity, I could only stare at him. He slowly grinned, his look smoldering. “Close your mouth, babe, before I put something in it.” My eyes widened as I slowly realized what he meant. Oh my…I am so close to coming right now. “Now that I’ve got your attention, sweetheart, we hav
e a date tonight.” “A…a date.” “Yep. I’ll pick you up at six and we’ll go to dinner first. Then, I’m taking you to a…very…special…place.” “Spec…special place?” He leaned forward and lightly nipped at my earlobe, making me gasp. “I think you know what I mean, babe,” he whispered in my ear, making shivers run down my spine.

  Straightening, he walked over and opened the door. Grinning back at me, he asked, “Ready to go get those books packed?” I cleared my throat. “Give…give me a minute. I’ll be right out.” He looked me up and down slowly. “One minute, babe.” He turned to leave but suddenly turned back. “Oh, babe?” “Yes?” “No touching yourself.” What the…? “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Grant.” “Yes, you do. And…as the one in control…I will be the only one making you come today. I want you hot and bothered and wet for me. Understand?” Oh my. I don’t know if I’ll make it to tonight. My panties are now soaked.

  I squeezed my legs together to relieve the pressure but Grant noticed and shook his finger at me. “Uh uh, none of that, sweetheart. I want you soaking wet by the time we get there tonight. So no touching yourself, no trying to get off on your own, and no coming without my permission.” Since when do I need his permission to come? Oh, who am I kidding? I would do anything for this man, including denying myself pleasure. And I have to admit to myself, this new controlling side of Grant is a huge turn-on. Oh crap, this is going to be one very long afternoon. Grant grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. “Your minute’s up. Let’s go pack books.”

  We entered the main room of the library to find Bobby and Cynthia putting the last of the books back on the shelves while Mr. Hansen picked up the last of the broken window. Cynthia glanced over at us, grinning knowingly, and I felt my face flush red. “Good news, Meri! There was no real damage to any of the books. We’ve got them all back in order so now we just need you to tell us how you want them packed up.” I bit my lower lip in concentration until I heard a soft groan next to me. Looking up at Grant, I saw his gaze fixed on my mouth. Oh dear. He looks like he wants to eat me up. At that thought, my panties became embarrassingly wet.

  Determined to show Grant that two could play this game, I lowered my eyes before looking up at him through my lashes. The tip of my tongue glided slowly over my lower lip. Grant’s eyes widened in surprise...or desire? You want a naughty little girl, Professor? I can do naughty. My heart leapt into my throat when he grabbed my hand and dragged me down the hall toward my office again. Embarrassed, I tried not to think about what must be going through Bobby and Cynthia’s minds as they watched, wide-eyed, Grant’s caveman-like actions. Oh my...did I bait the beast? What’s he going to do to me? I wasn’t afraid he would hurt me...Grant would never harm me but he looked like he was about ready to snap.

  As soon we were out of sight of the main library, Grant suddenly stopped and spun me around, my back to the wall. Pressing tight against me, I could feel his erection against my lower stomach as my pussy trembled in response to the sensation. One move, one brush against my clitoris and I knew I would go up in flames. Bending close to my ear, Grant growled, “You are deliberately pushing my buttons, woman.” I bit my lip nervously and met his eyes, astonished at the undisguised hunger I saw there. God how I want this man. “Aren’t you?” he asked harshly. “M...maybe?” I replied nervously.

  I barely got the word out before Grant pounced on me, crushing his mouth over mine and forcing his tongue inside me. Instead of being frightened or repelled by his nearly violent assault on my mouth, I was strangely turned on. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I met him kiss for kiss, trying to devour his mouth. Finally, we broke apart, gasping for breath. His eyes appeared dazed as he stared down at me. Shaking his head, he stepped back and I immediately missed his closeness.

  Grant gently brushed a loose lock of hair behind my ear. “I...I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I’m so sorry, Boo. We’re supposed to be fixing the mess my stalker did to your library and all I can think about is shoving you up against the nearest flat surface and fucking your brains out.” My eyes widened in surprise, and lust, at the picture he put in my mind. Grant’s hand shook as he carefully brushed down my ponytail, which was thoroughly mussed by his hands. “I’ve worked so hard for the past few years to tame this dark beast that seems to reside inside me. Yet, ever since you said you wanted to be...you know...it’s like you unleashed the beast and I can’t regain control.”

  My eyes widened at this. Without thinking, I nervously licked my swollen lips. “Maybe...maybe I don’t want you to regain control?” I could see by his eyes that I’d shocked him with my brazenness. “Meri? Are...are you sure you want that?” I met his eyes solemnly before nodding. “I want...I want you to let your beast out to play, Boo.” I gently cupped his face with my hands. “I want to be your naughty little girl.” His face was suddenly transformed as his look of concern and fear becomes one of extreme cockiness. Grinning, he pressed his hips against mine, allowing me to feel his hard erection. When I gasped, he chuckled and pressed even harder against me.

  “Be careful what you wish for, my naughty little girl.” He leaned in until his mouth was pressed against my ear and whispered, “Because you are definitely going to get it tonight.” I couldn’t help myself when I purred, “Hmm...I’m holding you to that promise, Professor.” He wrapped his long arms around me and hugged me tight before suddenly releasing me. I couldn’t help but pout slightly at him, wanting him to take me back in his arms. He pressed a quick hot kiss to my swollen lips. “Tonight, babe.” Pulling back, he grabbed my hand. “Right now, we’ve got a library to fix.” He headed back into the main room with me in tow.

  Working together, the four of us managed to pack up all the books in just a few hours. Mr. Hansen promised to have his guys begin stripping the paint from the damaged walls first thing in the morning. He told us that the broken window would be replaced within a few days. Once we’d finished up for the afternoon, Bobby offered to walk Cynthia to her dorm room, so Cynthia and I hug one another goodbye. “I’ll see you tomorrow afternoon at the hearing, Meri.” “Thank you again for all the help. Maybe we can get together for lunch later this week?” She smiled shyly. “I’d really like that.” Saying their goodbyes, the two young people headed across the grassy area fronting the library.

  “Well, babe, are you ready to head out?” I quickly lock the front door after setting the alarm system and handed him the keys to his car. “You drive?” “Of course. You’re one scary lady behind the wheel,” he teased. Taking my hand, he led me to the parking lot and helped me into his car. Soon, we pulled into his parking space in front of our apartment building. Helping me from the car like the gentleman his mother raised him to be, he held my hand as we took the elevator to our floor. I unlocked my door and walked inside but stopped when I realized Grant was still in the hallway.

  “Aren’t you coming in?” He gave me a cocky little grin that made my panties damp. “No. You’ve got one hour to get ready for our date. And remember the rules.” He leaned in to kiss me but I turned my head. Frowning at him, I asked, “What rules?” Lowering his voice, he murmured in my ear. “I am in control…you will obey me at all times…no touching yourself, and no coming without my permission.” He chuckled when my whole body shivered slightly at his words. Turning away, he stopped. “I’ll pick you up in one hour. Oh and wear the sarong I bought you yesterday.” With that, Grant turned and strolled down the hall, whistling under his breath. I closed the door and lean against it. Oh my…I am in so deep. And loving it!

  Tossing my purse on the sofa, I rushed down the hall to my bedroom. One hour? Just enough time for a quick shower before getting dressed. Hmm...enough time to take the edge off this insane need that’s filled me since Grant first called me his naughty little girl? Stripping, I jumped in the shower and quickly washed my hair. Pouring my favorite lavender body wash on a soft poof, I gently rubbed over my sensitive breasts. A tingle shot straight to my clit. Before I even realized it, my fingers made their way down
across my not-so-flat tummy to my nearly bare mound. Yes, I had almost everything waxed off, leaving just a tiny strip of hair. Even though no man has ever seen me without clothes, a nearly bare pussy makes me feel sexy. My fingers reached the hidden little nub between my lower lips and...

  Wait a minute! What am I doing? Grant said no touching myself and no coming until he says so. Not normally one to take orders, I was strangely reluctant to ignore his warnings. I wondered if the suspense would enhance the experience. I just hope he doesn’t keep me waiting too long. Quickly finishing my shower…without playing with myself…I dried my hair and put on minimal makeup. Grant has always said he prefers it when I don’t wear a lot of makeup. I realized that the sarong would not allow me to wear much in the way of under garments and quickly grabbed a sexy black lace thong from my drawer, forgoing a bra. Hopefully, I don’t bounce around too much.

  Slipping on the red and black sarong, I searched my closet until I found a pair of strappy little black sandals with do-me heels that would go good with the dress and which added four inches to my short stature. Digging further in the closet, I grabbed the small black clutch purse that matched my shoes. Glancing at the clock, I realized I had just enough time to switch out purses before Grant picked me up. Taking one last look in the full-length mirror, I was very pleased at my reflection. I actually looked sort of sexy with my red curls flowing over my bare shoulders and the snug little sarong that showed a hint of the tops of my large breasts and ended mid-thigh. I hope Grant likes it.

  Rushing down the hall, I quickly grabbed my wallet and keys from my other purse and threw them, along with nude lip gloss, into my clutch when I heard a fast rap on the door. Grant! Throwing open the door, I waited nervously for his reaction. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped as his gaze travelled over me, first down then up before he slowly met my eyes. “Wow! Babe, you look amazing. I’m going to have to keep a close eye on you tonight to make sure somebody doesn’t steal you away.”
