The Stand Off

by Z. Stefani

  “Here, my main house, or my apartment. Mainly here, until you’re ready to move into the main house. That’s why I had this place redone; I knew it would make things easier for now.”

  “It’s not too soon?”

  “Not if we know what we want. I know what I want, do you?”

  “Yes,” she answered. “For how long though?”

  “I want to go on lock down with you for the next week or two.”

  “And after that?”

  “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” he said evasively. She feared that after a week or two she would be deep in love while he was getting bored.

  “As temping as it sounds, I can’t do a lockdown,” she said with a sad pout.

  “Why not?”

  “I have to teach. The children depend on me; they have a concert next week,” she explained.

  “Is that the only reason?”

  “Yes.”

  “I’ve already sent a few music teachers to work the Music hall. They’re full time and on my payroll,” he explained.

  “You’re kidding me?”

  “No.”

  “Thank you,” she grabbed his hand.

  “I don’t want you to thank me; I want you to stay with me for a while.”

  “If I stay with you, I still have to help out with lessons.”

  “No,” he shook his head.

  “Dean.”

  “You can go back in a week or two. Right now we have a lot of catching up to do, and I need to spend some quality time inside of you,” he said with a lusty grin.

  “Okay, I’ll stay.” she answered with a soft smile.

  “Now that it’s settled, let’s eat. I still have to go to work at some point today.” He grinned.

  Later, Dean took Lux for a ride in his car. She’d thought it was just a ride to get some fresh air, but she soon realized that he had a destination.

  “Where are we going?” she asked as Dean took another turn down another deserted road.

  “To my house.”

  “You live way out here?” she asked as she looked out the window. The houses had dwindled down to none as they continued driving; she saw acres upon acres of bare land without a house in sight.

  “Yes,” he answered.

  “It’s so secluded.”

  “That’s the point,” he grinned and put his hand on her thigh.

  He pulled up to a large metal gate and punched in a series of numbers. Lux looked up to see a very large three story home behind the fence.

  “Is that your house?” she asked as the gates opened and he drove in.

  “Yes,” he said as he drove the circular driveway before the house and parked in the front. He rushed to her side and helped her out of the car.

  “Wow, it’s beautiful,” she sighed as she stood before it. The massive white house looked like something straight out of movie.

  “A very glamorous and ridiculously wealthy movie,” she thought.

  “Come on.” He grabbed her hand and led her inside.

  “Damn,” was all that she could say as she walked into the impressive home.

  Dean gave her the grand tour of his house and ended it in his room. Everything was black, from the curtains to the bed covers. The walls were the palest of grays and the stone floor was charcoal colored.

  “I know it’s a bit dark, but do you like it?” he asked.

  “Like it? Are you kidding me? I love it; it looks like the set of an old black and white film.”

  “Good, then when it’s time to come here, I better not hear any complaints,” he said as he bent to kiss her.

  “Trust me, there will be no complaints. This place is amazing. We should spend the day here,” she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

  “I really should go to work at some point today,” Dean answered as he backed her against the wall.

  “Right now?” she frowned as she kissed his lips.

  “I should.”

  “Can’t I change your mind?”

  “You could.” He nodded.

  “I have an idea,” she whispered.

  She slid her hand down his tight stomach to his pants. She unbuttoned them and then slowly slid down the zipper. She grabbed the waist band of his pants and his boxer shorts as she bent to kiss his naval. She slid the material down to his knees as she went to hers. She held his erection in one hand as she gently kissed the head. She slid her tongue across the tip and dipped her tongue in the dip before forcefully sucking the head of his cock into her mouth.

  “Fuck,’ he leaned back against the door as his knees fluttered.

  With her hand circling the base of his cock and the tip in her mouth, she twisted her hand as she sucked more of him in. She sucked hard and wiggled her tongue as she pulled him out of her mouth. She stopped at the head and swirled her tongue around the tip before sucking it back further. She took as much of him into her mouth as she could, testing her limits as she used her hand for the rest.

  “No, stop… stop.” he pulled out of her mouth and then bent to pick her up. He rushed over to the bed and sat her down. She stood up on the bed and walked over to the edge to stand closer to him. He yanked off his pants, watching her as she lifted her dress to her waist. She began to slide her thong down her hips when he stopped her.

  “Leave it on,” he said as he grabbed the front of her panties and pulled them low enough to kiss the top of her sex. He pulled them back up and grabbed her hand as he kneeled on the bed. “I want you on your knees, facing the headboard.”

  She turned to face the head board and slowly slid down to her knees. “Like this?”

  “Hold onto it,” he said as he guided her hands to the headboard.

  “Damn, look at you,” he moaned as he caressed her ass with his large hand. “Spread your legs, baby.”

  She spread her legs and he immediately slid his hand down her ass to caress her spread pussy. He focused on her clit for a moment before moving his hand to slide across the curve between her legs. He slid his hand back up to her ass and without warning, he smacked her. She gasped and unconsciously clenched her butt cheeks and the headboard.

  “No clenching…unless I tell you to,” he whispered in her ear as he gently caressed the stinging cheek.

  She turned her head to the side to kiss his lips. He used his free hand to hold the side of her head as he deepened the kiss. His gentle caress had suddenly stopped and she instantly knew what he would do. She was more prepared for this one but cried out into his mouth regardless. He smacked her butt again before he grabbed the top of her dress and yanked it below her breasts. He pushed her bra strap down her shoulder and slid his fingers into the cup of her bra. He cupped her breast and began circling her nipple with his thumb before closing in on it.

  With his other hand, he slid his fingers under the crotch of her panties and slid his middle finger inside of her. He pumped it in and out a few times before withdrawing his hand. He smacked her ass lightly as he tugged on her nipple. He broke the kiss and looked at her lust dazed eyes.

  “Stand up.” he whispered as he helped her stand. He sat on the middle of the bed and grabbed her hands, “Come here.”

  She stepped on either side of his legs and slowly sat down on his lap. She wiggled against the iron cock pushing against her pussy.

  “I need to see you,” He pulled the other bra strap down her shoulder and then yanked her bra down to her waist. He bent his head and took as much of her breast in his mouth as he could as he drew his tongue across her nipple. She grabbed his head and held him as she pushed her breast against his face. He moaned as he released the majority of her breast to focus on her nipple. He sucked the tip for a minute before he trapped it between his teeth. He slid his tongue across the very center before releasing it. He laid a soft kiss on her nipple before he laid back. He grabbed her thighs and pulled her up his body until she was on her knees above his face.

  “Wider,” he said before he pulled her down to sit on his mouth.


  She spread her legs wider and held the thick headboard for support.

  “Ooh,” she sighed when he slid his tongue between her nether lips.

  He lightly sucked on her clit as he slid his finger inside her. He sucked it hard, causing her body to jerk before releasing it and gently circling it with his tongue. He reached up to caress her breast, toying with her nipple before he drew back his hand to lightly slap the plump underside.

  She moaned and laid her forehead on the headboard. He slapped her breast again before gently running his fingers across her nipple.

  She felt the familiar orgasmic bubbles begin to build momentum. She was holding the headboard for dear life as she felt it begin to erupt throughout her lower body.

  “Oooooh shit!” she cried out hard.

  The orgasm rocked her, she cried out and tried to pull away, but he threw his arm around her thigh and held her still. He continued until she had completely finished coming. He withdrew his mouth and she sighed as he pulled her back down his body. He held her tightly and kissed her for a moment; content to just enjoy her. He lifted her limp body and laid her back on the bed as he positioned himself at her opening.

  “I need to be inside of you so bad.” He thrust his thick cock deep inside of her and she cried out. When he was fully submerged he held his head in the base of her neck and growled, “Fuck, you feel good.”

  He began to move inside of her, his slow rhythm quickly gaining speed with each stroke. He was pumping in and out of her; his mouth was locked on hers as he slid his hand between their bodies to circle her clit. Her second orgasm came quickly. She cried out and arched her back as she sunk her nails into his skin. He pushed his lips against hers, taking her cries in his mouth as he continued to drive into her.

  He’d been trying to hold back because she felt so good, and he wanted it to last. When her inner muscles started contracting around his cock, it his undoing. He growled like a beast as he let go. She cried out and clutched him as they came together. Dean held her still for a moment before he rolled off of her to lay by her side. He pulled her closer as he tried to regain his breath.

  “I’m not ready for this to end; I don’t know if I ever will be,” Dean admitted as he kissed her forehead.

  “I feel the same,” she sighed as she snuggled closer to him, her body still coming down from the multiple orgasms.

  ***

  Lux stood naked before the mirror, looking at the scar on the front of her hip. She covered it with her hand and frowned.

  Dean walked up behind her and slid his hands over her hips as he whispered in her ear, “Leave it alone.”

  “Sometimes it looks like it’s getting bigger.”

  “It’s not.” He kissed the side of her face and leaned over to grab a marker off the dresser. He turned her to face him and went down on his knee before her as he uncapped the marker. He grabbed her hip and kissed it before he wrote his name across her scar. When he was done, he stood up and kissed her before turning her back to face the mirror.

  “That’s the best it’s looked since it first happened,” she grinned as she looked at his name on her thigh through the reflection.

  “What happened?” he asked and their eyes locked together in the mirror.

  She stared at him for a moment before she finally spoke, “My father cheated on my mother so many times that karma was inevitable. He used his skills of manipulation to conquer the women that he considered weak and pushed his luck to the limit in the process. After all those years of getting away with it, he finally met a woman who was too weak to handle his mental butchery. He’d drained her bank account and made it impossible for her not to fall in love with him. In the end, he’d left her penniless as well as broken hearted and she came back for revenge.” Lux looked blindly at the ceiling as she thought back to that terrible day. “She closed her eyes when she shot at him… she didn’t see me until it was too late.”

  Dean kissed the tear running down her cheek as his inner beast roared at the enormity of her being shot. The thought of him never knowing her weighed heavily on his heart. The thought of her having to go through that horror, sent him into full protection mode. He turned her head to face him and vowed, “I will do everything in my power to keep you safe. No one will ever hurt you again, I swear on my life.”

  ***

  After enjoying a beautiful dinner on the back porch, Dean received a text from his brother. When he was finished, he hung up his phone and looked back up at Lux with a dazzling smile. She wanted to grab his face and kiss him, just because he was so handsome.

  “We got some good news,” Dean grinned.

  “Like this day could get any better,” she said with a sincere smile.

  “The new place will be finished by tomorrow night. They are working on the kitchen now.”

  “That was quick.”

  “It better be; I paid them extra to get it done before the time limit. We can spend the day getting your things together. I want to be moved in there by tomorrow night.”

  It was then that Lux remembered her prior commitment with the private detective.

  “I can’t tomorrow; we might need to reschedule for the following day.”

  “Why not?” His bright smile immediately changed.

  “I have this thing.”

  “What thing?” he barked.

  “It’s a business dinner.”

  “With who?”

  “Just someone I do business with.”

  “Cancel it,” he demanded. He was used to getting his way but not when it came to Lux. She did what she wanted, and he knew this could possibly turn into a battle of will.

  “I can’t, I have to be there. It’s business; it’s really important. I promised, and I hate breaking promises.”

  “You better make it quick or I’ll come get you from said business meeting. I finally get you all to myself and now you’re making me wait. The injustice of it.” He grinned and quickly kissed her. He would not give up, he might let it die down for now, but at the last minute he would insist.

  “It’s only for a few hours.” She smiled, understanding his impatience. If she hadn’t promised Clifton, she would cancel her plans. She much preferred spending tomorrow night with Dean, but she could not break her promise.

  “That’s way too long; make it an hour or less.” He smoothed the hair back from her face.

  “I’ll see what I can do,” she grabbed his face and kissed him thoroughly.

  The Business Meeting

  With deep regret, Dean forced himself to leave Lux and actually go to work. He’d gone from never missing a day of work to skipping almost a week. His co-workers had acted like he’d been gone for damn near a year. They’d assumed it must have been something serious for him to take that much time off. Dean was thankful for his brother Johann’s diligent work. Everything was up to date and in order; it was as if Dean hadn’t missed a day.

  By the end of the day, Dean was counting the minutes. He was rushing through the last of his paperwork and getting everything taken care of so he could leave. He was ready to get out of there and pick up where he left off with Lux. He wanted to take full advantage of the limited time they had to spend together before she went to her business meeting. He wasn’t pleased that she refused to cancel the meeting, but he respected her loyalty and her business ethics. When he finished, he smiled widely, grabbed his jacket, and was ready to leave. He’d taken a step towards the office door when it swung open. In stormed Vaughn, huffing like a bull with the devil in his eyes.

  “What are you doing here? I didn’t expect to see you until next week.” Dean was shocked to see his brother.

  “I’ve been trying to get ahold of you.”

  “I’ve been busy. What’s going on?”

  “You know why I’m here,” Vaughn barked.

  “No, I don’t,” Dean insisted, his patience dwindling.

  “You fucking traitor! You knew I loved her! She was the only woman I have ever loved!” Vaughn roared as he stor
med towards his brother.

  “What the fuck are you talking about?” Dean snapped as he felt his temper spark.

  “This,” Vaughn held up the latest copy of In.ur.biz magazine. It was one of the most popular celebrity gossip magazines and websites in the country. On the front cover was a picture of Dean having sex with Vaughn’s ex-fiancée.

  “What the fuck is that?” Dean grabbed the magazine from his brother.

  “That’s front page news. Why would you do this to me?” he seethed.
