He breathed a sigh of relief at hearing her voice. “Sally, thank goodness I got a hold of you! I got your resignation letter. What’s this about?” He asked, more sad than angry.
“I’d rather not talk about that right now.” Sally said.
“Too bad, I want to know. We were just fine the other night. I thought we had a special connection. I’m pretty sure you would agree with me. Your body was calling out for my touch.” Silas said.
“That was before you ran away with Jackie. Yeah don’t be shocked. I know. I called you the other night and she picked up your phone. Said you were in the shower. Well Silas enjoy her, because you’ll never have me again! If you value yourself so little that you would go back to her after she cheated, well you really deserve her!” Sally commented.
Silas could hear the unbridled anger in Sally’s voice. “What are you talking about? Jackie is with me, but only because my father loves her. But we are not in any way back together. I didn’t even know you called me. My mom fell and she’s in a coma and the doctors are still trying to figure out why. But I have not or will I ever touch Jackie again, I swear to you, even if she was the last person on Earth!” Silas explained.
He heard her voice softening, “Oh my goodness your mother was hurt? I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope she will be okay, how are you handling it?”
“Better than I am handling your resignation honestly. But it is still tough. And it’s especially hard on my father. They’ve been married for 52 years now and he is lost without her. I just hope she pulls through this okay.” Silas said.
“I’m really sorry about her, I know you love her.” Sally commented.
“Does this mean you won’t resign? Will you at least let me talk to you in person? I miss you so much Sally.”
“I don’t know Silas, I’m scared now, and I don’t know if I can trust you. Why would Jackie be in the same room with you when you were taking a shower?”
“She wasn’t in the same room as me. I left my phone out in the kitchen. She never told me you called, and I didn’t check the messages, I went back to the hospital.”
“I’ll talk to you when you get back, but I don’t know if I can work for you anymore.” Sally finally said.
“Okay fair enough. I guess it’s all I’m going to get you to agree to right now.” He sighed. “I miss you Sally, and I can’t wait to see you and kiss you again.”
“Good bye Silas.” She hung up the phone.
Chapter 18
Sally went home thinking about what Silas had told her. She wanted to believe him, more than anything. His story made sense, though she didn’t like the idea that Jackie was with him at all.
She would have to trust him, he had really never done anything to betray her trust. Though she was still upset he hadn’t called her before today. She could understand. He had talked about his parents many times, and she knew he loved his mother very much.
Heck, she was the main reason he was opening up his new division to find better medicinal choices. She sighed as she picked at her food once more.
Though she didn’t really have the energy, she went to work out and run a couple of miles, and it helped her feel a little better.
***
It had been almost five days now since she’d last talked to her parents, and had no doubt they were wondering what she was up too.
She dialed them and had a pleasant conversation with her mother, though she had heard more than once about how long it had been since they last spoke.
“You sure you’re doing okay? It’s been almost a week since you called.” Her mother asked.
“Yes I’m fine mom, I’ve just been really really tired lately.” Sally said. It wasn’t a complete lie, she thought to herself.
“Does this have to do with your boss and what you told your father the other night?” Her mother pried.
“Some yes, but not all of it.” Sally admitted.
“You know Sally, I know you’ve always had feelings for this man even before you met him. Your father said Silas is getting a divorce. You still should have waited until the divorce was final, but our flesh makes us weak. I’m not upset at you.” Her mother stated.
“I know mom. But I’m not sure what is going on with us right now. He’s out of town, his mother was injured and is currently in the hospital.” Sally said.
“Oh dear I’m so sorry to hear that, your father and I will say a special prayer for her healing tonight.”
“Thank you mom.” Sally said.
“So why don’t you know what is going on with you and him right now?” Her mom asked.
“Just circumstances mom, I’m not sure how serious he is about me and I don’t want a casual thing. But I didn’t get a chance to talk to him before he left. Once he’s back we’ll talk and figure it out.” She didn’t want to tell her mother his wife was with him because she would only make comments that would make her sad.
“Okay sweetie, try to not make it so long before we hear from you again.”
“I won’t mom, tell dad I love him and I’m fine.” She said, “I love you both.”
She hung up, and for the first time she actually did miss the slow pace of Nebraska. She could hear the people outside rushing about their lives as hers was at a standstill.
Chapter 19
When he went back into the room his father asked him, “Did you get it all straight?”
“I don’t know Dad. I guess she called my phone the other night and Jackie answered. She thinks I slept with Jackie and that we are back together now.” Silas sighed.
“Have Jackie tell her it’s not the truth. She’ll believe it if she hears it from her.” His father stated.
“Jackie left to go with her boyfriend. She said we had it under control and that she wasn’t needed anymore.” Silas said.
“So why not call Jackie and tell her to call this girl for you?”
“Because Dad, I don’t trust Jackie. I’m sure she’d lie to her just to ruin my happiness.”
“Well I can vouch for you. I know you were never with her while you were here.” He offered.
“Maybe I’ll take you up on that Dad. But she also resigned from her job. She was so upset at me she went out and found another place to work. She’ll leave the company in two weeks unless I straighten this out before that, but mom doesn’t seem like she’s getting any better.”
“Why not go to her? If there are any changes with your mom, I’ll let you know. You can always bring this young lady back with you so that we can meet her you know.”
“You know that’s a great idea Dad. Thanks.” Silas got up and rushed out of the room. He came back in and kissed his mother on the top of the head, “I love you mom. I’m going to bring back that girl I was telling you about, you’ll love her. I know I do!”
Getting behind the wheel of his car he was happy his father had come up with the idea. If he timed it right, she would just be getting back home after work and they could have some much needed alone time together.
Silas practiced what he would say to her, even though he was sure when the time came, the words would escape him. He wanted nothing more than to hold and kiss her. He didn’t want Sally to feel like he had the last few months when he began to suspect Jackie was cheating.
The trip was far too slow for him and as soon as he hit the outskirts of New York City the traffic became congested. More than once he honked his horn trying to get the cars around him to move. But there was nowhere for them to go.
He beat on his steering wheel as the traffic began to move and then just as quickly stopped. He looked at his watch, she would be getting home now and wanted to be there with her.
Finally, after another 45 minutes, he was pulling into the parking lot of her new apartment. He got out of his car and rushed inside, punching the number to her floor in the elevator.
Chapter 20
Sally heard her doorbell ring and went to answer the door, having no clue who it might be. Perhaps it was the doorman; he had been coming up
and checking on her from time to time and she began to think that he might have a bit of a crush on her.
Looking through the peep hole she wondered if she was seeing Silas or if her mind was playing tricks on her. She opened the door and he swallowed her up in a big bear hug.
Sally was stiff but soon couldn’t resist the felling to hug him back. He lowered his mouth to hers and didn’t give her a choice as he forced his tongue down her throat.
She tried to not kiss him back as she was still angry about this whole mess. But once more her body betrayed her and she felt it reacting to him. Her tongue moved as if it had a mind of its own.
“I’ve missed you so much Sally.” He said when he finally came up for air.
“Is your mom better?” She asked, trying to sound cool to him, but failing miserably. Her voice cracked with untold emotions and the love that she felt for him.
“No, not really. But my father told me to come to you. He could tell how upset I was, and knew how I felt about you, so he told me he’d let me know if there were any changes.” Silas explained.
Sally was flattered that he would leave his mother side just to come see her. It made her heart melt a bit more for him. How could this man have done anything to hurt her?
“Sally look at me, I’ve never lied to you and I won’t. I didn’t touch Jackie. She was at home when I left your place the other day. She told me about my mom. We didn’t want to pile on top of my dad’s worries by telling him about our divorce, so she came along. But she only stayed a couple of days and then was off to be with her boyfriend. I don’t ever want you to not trust me, and I want you to know that you are truly the only woman I want from this day forward. I’m not even divorced yet, but once I am will you do me the honor of being my wife? I love you Sally Yates.” Silas went down on one knee and held out a box to her.
Sally’s heart beat faster in her chest. She would never have guessed this would happen when Silas saw her. She opened the box and saw a beautiful ring. There were blue stones on the side and a rather large marquis diamond in the middle. “Oh Silas, yes, of course I will. I’m sorry it was hard to not jump to conclusions, she made it sound like you had just been intimate. I should have trusted my instinct. I know you are an honest man. I love you too!” She put her hand out and he placed the ring on her finger.
“Now that we have this straight, let’s talk about this resignation letter.” Silas commented as he kissed her. “You can’t leave me alone at the office. You are the perfect person to help put this team together; I need you Sally.”
He kissed her neck and tenderly bit the area below her ear. He whispered words of love to her between each kiss. Sally could feel her body react. She had missed him so much and could no longer fight him off.
“I missed you too Silas. I’m really sorry I jumped to conclusions, but when you didn’t call me I pictured the worst. I figured that you just didn’t want to tell me that you and Jackie were back together.” Sally told him.
“Sally I should’ve called you sooner, I know that and I’m sorry I didn’t. I was just so worried about both of my parents. If you could see my father and how he’s taking this you would understand.”
“Even my parents would react the same way so I understand. Thankfully both of them are very healthy. I hope that when they go on that fateful day that they go together. Thankfully your mother is not gone, and I truly pray that she will wake up soon.” Sally said and kissed Silas’s cheek.
He moved his mouth back over hers and once again kissed her deeply. He moved his hands over her body and played with her breasts through the material of her dress. She moaned and he took off her shirt, and removed her bra. Her passion was burning and she wanted him now. “Silas make love to me.”
She didn’t have to ask him again. He undressed quickly and removed her pants and boxers. He pushed into her with gentle small strokes, but it wasn’t enough for her. She pushed her body to his and made his cock enter her deeper.
He rolled over taking her with him and she was now sitting on top of his huge pole. She loved the feeling of his dick all the way inside of her and she began to move up and down slowly on him.
Silas moaned and pulled her down to him, kissing her once more. Pushing his tongue into her mouth, they rose to the apex of passion together.
She couldn’t get enough of him and moved up and down a bit quicker as she moved closer to her own orgasm.
Silas grabbed her hips and forced him down on her harder and quicker. She screamed out as her climax shot over her body, filling her with love and much more.
He moaned out as her pussy clamped around his cock and released his own climax, calling out her name as he came inside of her.
They were both breathing hard after their shared climax. But Silas was still hard so he rolled her back over and entered her from behind.
Sally was on her hands and knees and Silas held her waist as he pushed into her. She moved back to meet his forward movement causing his cock to push to the end of her vagina.
She cried out as she felt another orgasm flash through her body. Silas kept thrusting into her and made the orgasm last longer.
He finally cried out and once more let his seed fill up her body. They fell together on the floor. He pulled her in close to him.
“Sally please take back your resignation.” Silas said.
“Okay, I’ll call the other company and tell them I’ve changed my mind.” Sally gave in. She couldn’t imagine not working with him, though work wouldn’t be on her mind when she was around him anymore. Now she knew that every time she saw him she would want him to love her like he just had.
“Thank you Sally. I really couldn’t go on without you there. The project wouldn’t even hold my attention if you weren’t around. You’ve found a deep place in my heart and I’m all yours from this day forward,” Silas told her as he kissed the top of her head.
Before falling asleep he made love to her again. Once more she was left in heaven after he was done. This had to be right. Something that felt this good couldn’t be wrong.
Chapter 21
The next morning Sally got up and made them breakfast. While she was preparing the food Silas came up behind her in the kitchen and kissed her, holding her firmly in his arms.
“Smells wonderful.” He said.
“It is nothing much; just a country omelet.” Sally said.
When they sat down to eat Silas asked her, “Do you mind coming back to Hampton with me. I would really like to be there when my mother wakes up, if she does ever wake up.”
“Think positive Silas, she’ll wake up soon.” Sally said, “I’ll go back with you, but what about work?”
“I think the boss will be okay with you missing some time.” He laughed.
“You think?” Sally joined in his laughter.
Sally enjoyed seeing Silas laughing again. Sally only hoped that soon there would be much more to celebrate.
“What should I pack for and for how long?” Sally called out from the bedroom.
Silas was washing the dishes from breakfast for her so she could get ready. “I don’t know. Pack what you think you’ll need for at least three days, maybe five. There is a washer at my parents’ that you can use. So if we end up staying longer you’ll be fine. Or we could always buy you some more clothes too.”
“I’m sure the last thing you will want to do is go shopping. I’ll pack for a couple weeks so I will have plenty of outfits to choose from.” Sally said.
A little later they were in his car as he was maneuvering out of the city and towards his parents’ house.
Sally felt nervous about meeting Silas’ parents. Of course, she would meet them separately since his mother was still in a coma, but that didn’t make it any easier.
She also wondered if they would comment on the age difference between her and Silas. Sally knew that many people would see her as a young girl who had seduced an older man and probably wouldn’t believe that there was true love between the two of them.
&nb
sp; “What’s wrong?” Silas asked as if he could feel her nervousness.
“What do you think your parents will say about our age difference?” Sally asked.
“They won’t care, and you shouldn’t either. They’ve always told me as long as I’m happy they will be fine with the decisions I make.” Silas commented.
“You know there are people who aren’t going to be like that though.”
“I don’t care what other people think Sally. I love you and I want to be with you, and that’s all that really matters.” Silas said.
“I don’t care either, but I don’t want to hear the nasty comments that might be said about me.”
“What kind of comments do you think will be said?” He asked.
“You know they’ll call me a bimbo and gold digger.”
He laughed, “Well if they say anything wrong about you they’ll have to deal with me.”
“I contacted my lawyer he’s drawing up the divorce papers and will soon deliver them to Jackie’s lawyer. She is still threatening to expose my little secret. But like you said, I can deal with that. We can make it seem like she’s just making up things because she’s just angry she got caught cheating.” Silas explained.
“Sounds like a perfect plan. I’ll be there with you Silas even if it does get ugly.” Sally said.
“I hope so, this might be something that will cause us some bad press.”
“I had some ideas of how to combat that.” Sally commented.
“What are they?” Silas asked.
She spent the next few hours telling him scenarios and the reactions they could use. He listened intently, and whistled when she was done, “Wow you put a lot of thought into this didn’t you.”
“Yes I did.” She said.
“Were almost there.” Silas commented.
Sally had been enjoying the scenery along the drive as she had talked to Silas. “It’s really beautiful out here. So peaceful and quiet.” Sally commented.
