Sad Love

Collin walked into his house and wondered how long this one was staying; people had been in and out since the beginning of May. The new owner he had only met once, and she seemed pretty cool, but this revolving door… was for the birds.
He threw his keys on his entry table and walked into his sprawling kitchen. He wondered what Joan had left for dinner tonight. Joan was his housekeeper, he traveled a lot for business, and when he was in town she kept the fridge stocked with meals that he could just warm up when he returned home from the hospital, or overseas.
He was just twenty seven and had already revolutionized the health care industry. He had invented a drug that helped people with cancer deal better with the side effects from chemotherapy and was now working on security and health for third world countries. He graduated from high school at 17, and completed his bachelor’s in two and a half years. He had just been honorably discharged from the Navy with his MD. His troubled youth and family life made him focus on his studies. He had relationships, but none that lasted any longer than two months. He made it very clear to anyone he’d ever touched that he was going to put his studies and work first, he would see them when he could. Collin loved sex and was damn good at it, he knew this. He could please women and made it his mission to make sure they were satisfied before he finished. When they wanted to stay the night, he reminded them that he needed to study or work and that he was not relationship material. One might think this would drive women away, but it didn’t, they tried even harder to keep up with him.
Women were easy; they were drawn to him first because of his looks, and second because of the chase. He watched his mother, a drug addict; bring men in and out of their home. It was always the same: she would come home drunk or high with a new guy at least once a month. Those who stayed, were there in the morning and would get breakfast and treated as if they were a king. This would last about a week, a month at the most and eventually there would be an argument always involving alcohol or drugs, and he would leave. She would sit on the couch for days, speaking as few words as she could, chain smoking, and crying. The ones who came and left before dawn and didn’t stay for breakfast, didn’t have the same effect on her. She could function, and it was usually a tolerable week. Those times when she acted as a real mother and not the woman who stumbled over herself to please a house guest, didn’t last long. There were very few that were ever asked to return. As soon as she had received what she was after, be it drugs or money, they were gone.
Collin’s favorites were flight attendants, women he met away on business, once in awhile the tenants from next door who came and left within a week, and those who wanted no strings. By his second year in med school, he could pretty much figure out who was who before he ever put a finger on them. Tonight it was Amber, a flight attendant that he had been in contact with for about a year, they were good together. She was kinky as shit, dark hair and legs that went on forever. She never stayed, and after several hours of play time, she would leave and let him know when she may be back in town again.
Tessa wasn’t big on casual drinking. She never really enjoyed alcohol, she used it to let loose. She was on vacation and decided to pop open a bottle of Doobie Blues, and hang out on the Patio with her dog tonight. She set her iPod up on the Bose and turned on Pearl Jam. She loved listening to the live version from a Concert she had attended. She closed her eyes as she sat reclined in her chair as she hugged her knees and looked out at the water with Leia, lying faithfully at the foot of her chair. She must have been tired because she fell asleep out in the fresh Ocean air.
Collin couldn’t stop thinking about the new tenant and sort of wished that Amber wasn’t coming in tonight. There was something about the new girl next door. She smiled at him when he was short; she wasn’t rude like the natives and normal tourists that he encountered lately. He even felt at a loss for words, which had never happened before. She was beautiful, that long, blonde, wavy hair and those gorgeous blue eyes that looked like a reflection of the ocean on the calmest, clear, sunny day. As he ate his chicken parmesan, he couldn’t help his thoughts from returning to her. She had a hot body that he had a chance to admire as she walked out to move her Jeep. He stared at her full perky breasts and a round ass that looked like he could bounce a quarter off of. He thought about her as he walked into the bathroom to shower before Amber came over. It had been a week since he’d had sex, and as usual, he wanted to ensure he had enough stamina to keep up with the very hungry Amber. He did his normal routine in the shower and jerked off to the picture in his mind of the tenant with great tits. Now he could outlast Amber, for sure.
True Love concludes the LOVE series, but don’t worry, Tessa, Lucas, and the Ross family can be seen in two other series, Wrapped (completed series Wrapped in Silk, Wrapped in Armor, and Wrapped Always and Forever) and Burning Souls. (Stained and Forged are available now, book three will be released in the winter.)
