Beautifully Irresistible

by M. L. Smith

  “Yes, I remember but I still think you have to tell them.”

  “I will think about it, Billy. We better get back to work.”

  I headed back up the stairs, intrigued about the conversation. I quickly took out my notebook and jotted down what I heard. I was thinking about trying to get Alan to open up and tell me what he knew but I would need to gain his trust first.

  Possibly some flirting could work.

  “Jennifer, we are home,” I heard Scarlett shouting as I quickly stashed my notebook in my pocket.

  “Hello, Scarlett. Did you have a good day?”

  “Hi, Jennifer,” Jasper grinned saucily at me.

  “I did and Dad coming for us was a pleasant surprise. We don’t spend nearly enough time with him,” she told me.

  “Well, tonight I thought we could have our meal and watch a movie together, my work can just wait,” Zack announced smiling at the twins.

  “That sounds great and by the way, Dad, I got 97% on my maths test. That help you gave me paid off!” she told him excitedly.

  “Well done, sweetheart,” he replied, hugging her tightly.

  “Jasper got 96%!” Scarlett informed us.

  “Well done, Jasper!”

  Jasper smiled quickly, looking a bit miffed that his sister had beaten him by 1%.

  “Can Jennifer join us this evening Dad?” Jasper asked.

  “You will have to ask her.”

  “I would love to thanks.”

  We enjoyed our meal together and I found that I couldn’t stop gazing at him. The way he was with his children was so natural and endearing. You could see it written all over their faces how much they loved him. I couldn’t help but admire what an amazing father he was. They all laughed about stupid things and I watched his eyes sparkle as he engaged with them.

  “I think we should go back to New Orleans this summer, Dad,” Scarlett said.

  “I am sure we will fit a trip in and see your Grandma and Granddad. It’s a wonderful place, Jennifer. It’s so alive,” Zack told me smiling.

  I cleared up the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher and headed into the TV room.

  “Here, sit next to me, Jennifer,” Scarlett instructed me patting the sofa.

  I took a seat and Zack was sitting at the other side of Scarlett. We looked longingly at each other and he smiled warmly, waggling his eyebrows. I found it very hard to concentrate on the film as I kept sneaking looks at him.

  Jasper sat on a chair by himself, playing with his phone. Text message alerts beeped constantly. I occasionally felt his eyes burning into me. It made me feel uncomfortable.

  The film was action packed and we munched on popcorn and chocolate. I suddenly felt worn out by recent exertions.

  “Goodnight, Jennifer,” Scarlett said, giving me a wave as she headed upstairs.

  “Goodnight,” Jasper mumbled then yawned.

  “I will help you clear up, Jennifer,” Zack told me gathering up bowls and glasses.

  “You don’t have to, that’s what I am here for, Zack.”

  “Can I come and see you later, baby?” he whispered in my ear.

  Sparks flew between us as he gently touched my arm. He radiated heat. My mouth went dry.

  “Yes, I would like that.”

  I went upstairs and got ready for bed. I didn’t usually wear anything in bed and just as I was dropping off, hopefully into dreams of my secret lover, there was a soft knock at the door.

  “Come in.”

  Zack walked in wearing only pyjama bottoms. I couldn’t take my eyes off his ripped torso.

  “Would you like some company?”

  “Of course I would, Mr Cole.”

  He stripped off and got into the bed, pulling me into his warm embrace. My body ached for him again.

  “I can’t stay away from you and I can’t stop thinking about you, Jennifer.”

  “The feeling is mutual,” I replied, snuggling into his arms.

  “We don’t have to do anything, you know. I just wanted to be close to you. You have completely worn me out, baby!”

  “I am a quite sore, to be honest, Zack. You are very well endowed, you know,” I teased him giggling.

  “It feels so very good being buried deep inside you. It’s the best feeling ever, baby.”

  He kissed my neck as I started to grow wet. His large warm hands roamed greedily over my defenceless body.

  “Zack, don’t make me horny again. I will break!”

  “I can wait, Jennifer, but now that I have tasted you, your taste is forever burned into me,” he whispered as he gently cupped my breasts.

  My nipples hardened as he gently rolled them between his thumb and forefinger. A breathless moan escaped my lips. I could feel his bulging erection pushing into my back.

  God, he was so virile.

  Where the hell did he get the energy from?

  “I really need to sleep, Zack. I’m sorry.”

  “It’s okay. Goodnight, baby.”

  “Goodnight, gorgeous.”

  Chapter Eleven

  When I woke up the following morning, Zack wasn’t there. He had left early and the bed felt cold without him.

  I missed him already. I smiled as I thought about the past few days and the things he had said to me.

  “My Dad really likes you, in fact, I think he fancies you, Jennifer. He is always looking at you and he gets a dreamy look on his face!” Scarlett told me on the drive to school.

  “Of course he doesn’t,” I replied as I blushed to a fetching shade of crimson.

  I quickly checked in the back and Jasper was grinning at me. Our eyes met as he winked.

  “I am sure he does too, Jennifer,” he said, teasing me.

  “My Mum didn’t really love him, you know. She had plenty of boyfriends behind his back. I hated her for it. On the day she went missing I heard her on the phone arranging to meet her latest conquest. It turned my stomach so I confronted her about it. She wasn’t happy with me and we argued. That’s the last time I saw her.”

  “Scarlett! Shut up talking about Mum like that!” Jasper shouted.

  I had never seen him angry before. It gave me quite a shock. His face was bright red and his blue eyes blazed hotly.

  “Jasper, you know that it’s true!” she gasped as hot tears formed in her eyes.

  “Just don’t, Scarlett!”

  “Sorry, Jasper,” Scarlett said quietly as she turned round and squeezed his knee.

  He managed a small smile at her.

  “Anyway, back to you and Dad. Do you fancy him?” she teased.

  “He’s my boss. It wouldn’t be appropriate,” I told her, trying my hardest to keep a straight face.

  Get your poker face on, girl!

  “Dad is really handsome though, isn’t he? All my friends Mum’s have a crush on him.”

  “Yes, he is certainly handsome!”

  He is also off the scale amazing in bed!

  Thankfully, the school was moments away.

  After I had dropped them off, I carried on down the road to the police station headquarters for a meeting with Ross.

  I went into the station and chatted to several people on my way to his office.

  Then I saw my ex.

  He looked tired and stressed out. I used to think he was handsome but he did nothing for me now. His mousy hair was thinning on top and his body looked seriously out of shape.

  I tried to pass him without him seeing me but I failed.

  “Jennifer, how are you. You look great,” James told me smiling.

  His bloodshot eyes raked up and down my body. He licked his lips.

  “Good thanks. How are you?”

  “I’m living back at my Mum and Dad’s house since Claire chucked me out.”

  “Sorry to hear that, anyway, I must dash. I’m meeting Razor Ross,” I replied as I ducked past him.

  I wondered what I ever saw in him and I regarded him as a huge mistake. I was sorry for his wife and I regretted getting involved with him but he knew wh
at he was doing.

  I knocked confidently on DI Ross’s door.

  “Come in,” he barked.

  “Ah yes, Black. Please take a seat.”

  “Did you receive the email I sent you, Sir?”

  “Yes, it makes interesting reading. I wonder if Mrs Cole was on board for this merger.”

  “I am trying to find that out. Obviously they are in financial difficulty and the merger seems like a lifeline for them.”

  “Yes, I agree. What else have you found out?”

  I filled him in on the conversation between Billy and Alan and also what Scarlett had told me in the car.

  “Good work. What have you learnt about Zachary Cole?”

  “He’s a nice guy and he was well aware of her infidelities. He doesn’t know his son and daughter know though but kids aren’t stupid. From what I can gather, she was a prize bitch.”

  “We have found out that the company was started up with mostly money from an inheritance she received when she was eighteen. Zachary has a 49% share of the company,” Ross told me.

  “That is interesting.”

  “Well, keep up the good work, Black, and we will meet next week.”

  “Thanks, Sir.”

  Chapter Twelve

  The following morning as I woke up, I realised it was Saturday and strictly speaking my day off but I couldn’t think of anything to occupy me.

  I went downstairs and made myself some breakfast. My body stiffened as Zack came in. Turning around, I admired him.

  “Zack, I will make you one of my special coffees.”

  “That sounds great, thank you,” he said, grabbing my hand and kissing my palm tenderly.

  “That’s nice,” I replied as I kissed him briefly in case Scarlett or Jasper walked in.

  He tasted so good, so minty.

  “Do you fancy a ride today? I mean horse riding, you filthy-minded woman!”

  He laughed at my expression.

  “That sounds wonderful, but I don’t have any riding clothes.”

  “I will sort you some things out. Come on.”

  I followed Zack upstairs to Phoebe’s bedroom as he opened the doors to her walk- in wardrobe. He started rummaging around and found me a pair of jodhpurs and a polo top.

  Zack stepped over and pulled my t-shirt out of my jeans. His hands made contact with me and a soft gasp escaped my lips. The sensation of his touch on my body was too much for me.

  “You okay?”

  He cocked his head to one side and grinned at me.

  “Sorry. You make me horny when you touch me. I am wet for you already, Zack!” I told him shyly.

  Zack unzipped my jeans and touched between my legs. I shrugged them down my legs and stepped out of them.

  “Oh yes. Is that because of me, baby?” he whispered as his long fingers explored me.

  “Yes.”

  He turned me around so my back was to him and slowly pushed a finger deeply into me. His thumb circled my clit. Pressure started to build up deliciously inside me.

  “Oh Zack,” I groaned as I gave in to my raging desire.

  Zack pushed another finger in and vigorously moved them in and out. I rode his fingers, arching into his touch. He looked at me in a large mirror. His tongue darted out as he licked his lips. He pushed my hair to one side and kissed my neck. The air grew heavy around us. My eyes met his and I noticed how flushed my cheeks were. His free hand held my wrists tightly behind me. I was trapped, surrendering my body to his sublime touch.

  “Is that nice, Jennifer?” he said as he stared at me in the mirror.

  I managed to nod yes as I started to build towards a climax. Our eyes locked together in the mirror, his gaze burned intensely into me as he watched me submitting my body to him.

  He owned me.

  I was his.

  “God, Zack!” I shouted as the orgasm shuddered through me.

  “I love the way you give yourself to me so fully, baby.”

  He turned me around and gave me a soft and tender kiss. His hands cupped my face gently. Each time he kissed me or touched me, I fell for him a little bit more.

  “I had better get dressed!” I laughed, pulling away and quickly putting the riding gear on.

  He pulled me into him again and tipped my head back, kissing my neck softly then he kissed my mouth hungrily exploring it. I sucked his tongue greedily as it twisted with mine. He grew hard pressed up against me. We pulled apart and I felt dazed and drunk with the intensity of the lovely kiss.

  “You make me want you so much, Jennifer. What have you done to me? I’m falling hard for you, baby,” he told me as he held me close to his body.

  My heart was pounding in my chest. I kissed him again as tears formed in my eyes.

  Eventually we made our way to the path at the side of the house that led to the stables.

  “Good morning, Jennifer. I have tacked up Rio for you,” Billy told me.

  Gatsby appeared from nowhere, nuzzling Billy’s hand.

  “Thank you, Billy.”

  Zack found me some riding boots that were a bit big but they would do. We mounted our horses and headed towards the woods.

  “Are you alright, Jennifer? Rio is a very quiet horse. He shouldn’t give you any trouble.”

  “Your horse looks a bit full of it. Just like his owner!” I laughed as I kicked Rio into a trot.

  “Cheeky!” he shouted as he followed suit.

  He soon caught me up and we enjoyed a lovely hack around the peaceful woods.

  “It’s really beautiful here Zack.”

  “I know it is. I love it. It’s a great place to come when you have things on your mind,” he said.

  A painful look flashed across his beautiful face. We dismounted and sat underneath an old oak tree.

  “Are you okay, Zack? Is something bothering you?”

  “I was just thinking about Phoebe. I’m sorry.”

  “Don’t be. Tell me about her.”

  “We led separate lives for the past few years. Separate bedrooms and we never ever made love. I guess I just got used to it until you came along. I don’t think I will ever get enough of you.”

  “I don’t want you to, Zack.”

  I met his stare and I knew what he wanted as I wanted the same thing. The intense chemistry fired up between us once more. He leaned over to kiss me pulling me roughly closer to him. His mouth dominated mine as he greedily claimed me. He bit my lips tugging them, owning them.

  “There’s no one around, Zack. Please make sweet love to me,” I breathlessly whispered as I pulled away from him.

  “Al fresco sex! You are a dirty girl, Miss Black!”

  My hand travelled down to his bulging erection. I unzipped his jodhpurs and released him.

  We ducked around the other side of the tree where it was more private. He lifted my polo shirt and bra up, touching my breasts gently. His mouth burned hot around my nipple as his tongue moved over and over it. He drew deeply on my breast. My body was screaming out for him.

  Zack pushed me against the ancient tree and took down my jodhpurs. I was already wet just waiting for his touch. He stroked down my arms gently. His eyes stared into me and I saw want and raw desire in them. It seemed so daring and naughty being outside. His touch was so sweet and tender. Our eyes locked together in unspoken promises. He kissed my lips, then my cheeks and down my neck. His tongue took little teasing licks of my hot skin.

  A quiet moan escaped my swollen lips as my eyes closed. He touched me between my shaky legs.

  “You are wet again, baby. Oh, you are a naughty horny girl, Jennifer,” he panted as he touched my clit and outer lips.

  “I’m so hot for you, Zack!” I groaned, caught up in the moment.

  He pushed his jodhpurs and boxer shorts down his legs.

  “Well, we will have to do something about that, Miss Black!” he smirked, grabbing my bottom with both hands.

  I wrapped one leg tightly around his taut waist with my calf resting on his bare muscular arse. Every
nerve in my body was heightened when he touched me. It was like nothing I had ever felt before and I doubted I would feel again. Zack pushed my arms above my head caging me to the tree. Our bodies moulded together perfectly. It was like we were made for each other.

  “Ah! Yes, Zack,” I screamed into the quiet woods as he thrust hard into me.

  What the hell was he doing to me? I had never craved sex so much before.

  He moved to his own sweet rhythm as he made love to me against the tree. Zack picked up the pace, gliding in and out of me as I screamed his name into the quiet woods.

  As we came, he held me to him. I leant into his hard body as our breathing evened out.

  That was spectacular! Again!

  He looked into my eyes and kissed me sweetly. His lovely mouth entwined with mine in a tender kiss. I could still feel him moving inside me. Just then, we heard a crackle in the bushes like someone was there. We both froze and held our breath. I could feel his heart beating in time with mine.

  “What was that?” I whispered.

  “I don’t know. We better get out of here.”

  We quickly dressed, feeling unnerved by the noises. Zack helped me to mount Rio and then confidently mounted Ace.

  He looked so sexy on horseback, so commanding, so very hot.

  As I helped Billy put the horses away, Alan walked past and looked at me strangely. I wondered if he was the one skulking around in the woods.

  That night after dinner, I decided to take a walk over to the stables to clear my head.

  I really shouldn’t have fallen in love with Zack. I was a pathetic lovesick idiot.

  It was a big mistake, no, a huge mistake.

  If and when he found out I was actually an undercover detective, he wouldn’t be able to trust me ever again.

  I slipped quietly into Puzzle’s stable block and he was standing facing the back walk of the stable.

  “Puzzle, here boy,” I called to him softly.

  After a few minutes he turned around and headed over to me. He let me stroke his face.

  “You can groom him if you want,” Billy said.

  “Thank you, Billy. You are working late.”

  “Yes, Alan and I are having a long overdue sort out this weekend.”

  I went into his stable and started to brush him. He nuzzled into me, nudging me with his nose.
