“What movie did you bring,” she said casually, heading to the kitchen to grab two wine glasses and a bottle opener. “And have you eaten dinner yet? I just tossed a TV dinner in the microwave. Would you want something also? It's not much but you are welcome to it,” she asked, embarrassed because it was so impersonal.
“How about I order a pizza?” Jacob offered and then it was his turn to get embarrassed as he looked down at the DVD he grabbed on his way out the door. He had picked up a rated R movie that was well known for the plot and an incredible sex scene…part of the reason he had bought it. Most of the guys had recommended it and said that the sex made it an even better show. He cleared his throat and said, “What kind of pizza do you like? The movie was recommended at work.”
Millie smiled. “Pizza is pizza - I am good with anything on it. You pick.” Jacob called and ordered a large meat covered pizza to be delivered at her place. Millie poured the wine and grabbed the DVD to put it in the player. She was a bit surprised at his choice but according to the critics, it was supposed to be a good story plot. She invited him to sit down on the couch and she sat on the other side, her legs tucked under her.
Millie took a sip of wine and broke the silence. “Thank you very much for the wine, dinner and company. What brought this on?” she said casually, but her heart was beating frantically in her chest. It was her email! She knew it was too much. Here she was, opening up and felt like she was inviting him over for sex and he just ran right over. She basically insinuated she liked two person showers and felt incredibly dirty and forward.
Jacob played it off and decided not to mention the email. “I enjoyed your company earlier and was hoping you would be available. It is quiet at home and I had a great time the other night. Thought we might talk about Saturday’s plans or maybe look at a few online together?” he said trying to put her at ease. She seemed very nervous and on edge.
“Perfect!” Millie said, jumping at the chance to get back on her mental ‘turf.’ She took another sip of wine and put her glass down on the small coffee table. She padded across the room, barefoot in her hose, and grabbed her laptop. “DVD first or look at the homes?” she asked. “Let’s go with the houses and see what we are going to take a peek at on Saturday. That way if something isn't going to work, we still have time to change plans accordingly. I can reschedule if needed,” she said trying to keep calm as she sat on the couch and Jacob scooted closer to her to look over her shoulder.
Millie grabbed her wine and took a large sip for courage and hopefully it would relax her a bit. Jacob agreed with her, trying to see over her shoulder. Millie turned the laptop so he could see and pulled up the first one.
Jacob looked at the computer and then happened to glance at Millie’s blouse that was gaping at a button. “Very nice” he said softly as she chatted about the house and features. Jacob listened quietly and tried to focus on what she was saying but his eyes kept being drawn to the creamy mounds he saw peeking from her blouse.
Millie noticed he seemed to be distracted and pulled up another listing. “This one was just put on the market about three weeks ago. Small three bedroom, two bath home with an unfinished basement that could be converted to a master suite or den. It’s got good bones to it but a very small lot unfortunately.”
“Sounds nice,” Jacob commented quietly. “Do any of them have large showers?” he asked casually, turning her to face him.
Millie could not meet his eyes and bit her lip. She was embarrassed but excited at the same time. She knew it would probably get a reaction out of him, but never expected him to show up. He was so close and all she could do was look at his lips, a soft smile on them. “Millie, baby, look at me,” he said gently, coaxing her to meet his eyes. “I love the way you think,” he said softly, kissing her lightly. “The smell of your perfume drives me wild and watching you walk in those pantyhose is heaven on earth” he said between soft kisses.
“They are stockings,” Millie confessed breathlessly between kisses. His lips were so soft and his words made her melt. She adored the sweet soft kisses he rained on her lips.
Jacob groaned against her and whispered, “I hope I get to see them eventually,” as he deepened the kiss. He watched as Millie closed her laptop quickly and set it beside her. He felt her arms wrap around his neck and felt him untuck her blouse from her skirt.
Millie could not get enough of his firm lips and his tongue. She felt Jacob pull her into his lap and wrapped both of his arms around her waist. Her legs dangled to the side of him where she had just been sitting. Millie wanted more. She broke the kiss and looked at his questioning face. She heard him ask quickly if things were okay for her. “Oh yes, I am more than all right,” she said shyly and moved to straddle his lap, hiking her skirt up just a bit to allow the movement and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Jacob was in paradise. Millie’s thighs were exposed showing the lace topped thigh high stockings she had mentioned, that had started them along this road. Jacob’s hands slid from her legs, up to her bottom cupping it for a moment…waiting.
Millie arched against him at the sensation of his hands clenching her rear and then the heat of his palms on her bare back. Jacob slid his hands under her shirt and felt the smooth skin.
Millie kissed him desperately. He smelled so good; his hands were so very hot on her skin and were everywhere. She wanted him to touch her and needed to feel more. Jacob’s hands slid to the front underneath the fabric of her shirt to cup her lace-covered breasts. He could feel her nipples straining to get free and gently pinched one. Millie gave a moan in delight against his mouth.
He wanted so much more. He broke off the kiss and grasped her breast, bringing the globe to meet his searching mouth. He clamped down on the tight nipple through the fabric and suckled. It wasn't enough though, he wanted to see and taste them. He yanked her blouse up, one button popping off and flying against the wall.
Millie gasped and could feel wetness gathering at her core. She liked this aggressive side of him. Jacob leaned forward again, freeing her pert breast and feasting on the nipple. Millie pulled at his head encouragingly, silently begging for more.
Jacob’s other hand slid down to cup her rear and found the slit at the bottom of her skirt had hiked up when she has raised it to straddle him. Her sweet bottom was easily accessible as well as her softness that beckoned him. He slid a hand down her bottom and touched the well that was so wet. Millie exclaimed, “Oh, just like that!” pushing herself against his hand, begging for more from him.
Jacob licked and stroked her soft breasts and nibbled at her sweetness while his fingers slide back and forth against her wetness, teasing her and making her moan. Jacob wanted to slide himself home so badly but he was afraid that if he had Millie tonight, like he desperately needed, that he would lose her. He wanted Millie, like this, more than just one time. He wanted her coming back to him over and over again as his woman. Millie let out a shiver and a groan as she came against his fingers and ground down against him, silently begging for penetration.
Jacob placed a few tender kisses along her collarbone and throat by those pearls that had teased him all day. He held his hand completely still against her quivering lips and Millie was still shaking from ecstasy, undulating her hips instinctively. Jacob looked up at her face, stunned by the emotions he was feeling towards her, and when she looked down at him with a hooded, sultry gaze and a soft satisfied smile. Jacob felt something hit him like a ton of bricks. More than just lust and desire…a feeling he wasn't ready to identify.
Millie felt amazing and slightly taken aback at her brazenness. Jacob was still holding her tightly and caressing her. The knock at the door jarred both of them into movement. Millie flew off the couch and ran for her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. Jacob smiled and got the door. He signed off on the slip for the pizza and took the hot box and placed it on the counter.
Jacob stepped back to the bedroom and listened for a moment, hearing nothing. He rapped softly on the door, “M
illie, baby, it was the pizza. Come join me and let’s watch the movie,” he said invitingly.
Millie wasn't sure what to think, part of her wanted to be embarrassed but a larger part of her wanted more. Jacob could kiss and touch her in ways that made her body scream in delight. “Just a moment,” she said loudly to Jacob through the door, trying to decide if she should put her work clothes back together again or change all together. The button missing on her shirt decided the latter. Millie decided to throw a pajama on and pull a robe over it.
“Well, you get to see me in casual-wear as well as work, don't you?” she said putting on a brave front as she stepped from the doorway.
“…And everything in-between I hope,” Jacob said with a smile and pulled her to him. He kissed her softly and tenderly. “Thank you for letting me make love to you,” he whispered against her brow as he held her tightly. Millie nodded, not trusting herself to speak.
She stayed in his arms for a few more minutes and enjoyed the sensation of listening to his heartbeat, which seemed to be pounding loudly against her cheek. Composing herself, she pulled free and smiled at him. “Let me fix you a plate and let’s just relax for a bit and watch the news. Do you mind terribly?”
Jacob seemed genuinely relieved. She wasn't upset, she wasn't running, and she wasn't throwing him out the door. Bonus was she didn't seem interested in watching that movie either- and he didn't know how he would be able to sit through a steamy sex scene with Millie without replaying every detail in his mind. His pants were tight enough as it was.
A short while later, Jacob still had a raging erection and could take no more. He had to get some relief and Millie sitting next to him, chatting and lounging in her white satin robe was driving him crazy. He wanted to peel it from her and touch her again. The scent of her coming was still on him and he had no intention of washing it off until he had taken care of things for himself at home.
“Baby, I think I am going to head home. I have to be in the office early tomorrow-would you care to join me for breakfast?” he asked, kissing her knuckles. Millie wasn't ready for him to leave, but wasn't ready for more yet either. She nodded and took their plates to the kitchen without a word.
Jacob drew her into his arms once again, kissing her deeply, and held her. “Millie, I am going to head home because if I stay I want to do more with you and I don't think either of us are ready yet at this point in our relationship. I don't want to end us because I couldn't keep it in my pants,” he joked, turning her chin up to him. “I like where we are going and want to keep seeing you, baby,” he said softly, kissing her again.
Millie felt better knowing this and didn't feel like she had been loved and left. She walked him to the door, kissed him again, and confirmed she would see him in the morning.

The next few days, they spent time together in short bursts here and there. Breakfast at BatterUp!, her friend’s bakery, on Thursday. Jacob would casually drive by, pull up in front of her office, run inside to give her a kiss and return back to work. He did that three times and each time she was inordinately pleased with the attention.
Friday surprised her. She hadn't heard from Jacob all morning long. No emails, no texts, no random drive-byes. She told Danielle that she was stepping out for lunch today and headed to the park down the side street. Millie rounded the corner of the office and decided to text Jacob.
Looking at her phone, typing away, she casually walked down towards her favorite spot under the tree. She heard a faint ding and glanced up from her phone and caught her breath. Jacob was waiting under the tree beside the park bench in the shade. Underneath him was a large white tablecloth and a picnic basket. A large spray of roses was waiting next to the basket. “What is this?” she laughed and asked. She was absolutely delighted with the sight in front of her.
Jacob stood in his uniform and bowed as she walked up, smiling from ear to ear. “Nothing but the best for my lady,” he said. He took her hand and led her to the picnic blanket, inviting her to join him.
Millie kicked off her heels and stepped onto the blanket. She took a seat, tucking her bare feet under her and beamed at Jacob. “I am so surprised! Thank you so very much,” she said, highly impressed. She could not believe what a romantic he was and how good he treated her.
Jacob asked how her day was going as he unpacked the basket. Grapes, two cold sodas, a small bucket of potato salad and some small beef sandwiches completed the feast. Millie picked up the one spoon and eyed him. “We’ll have to share, I guess,” he said with a wink and popped a grape into her smiling mouth. “I hope you don't mind? I have been thinking about you all morning and wanted to see you smile again,” he said gently. Jacob put his hand softly behind her neck and pulled her forward for a kiss. “I needed this,” he said and kissed her again.
Millie melted. Jacob was truly wonderful and was sweeping her off her feet. If she wasn’t careful he would steal her heart… if he hadn't already. She was extremely fond of how he treated her and acted towards her.
Millie heard several high-pitched “Ewwww” coming from beside them. She broke off the kiss and laughed. Several of the kiddos in the park were pointing and looking at them. Jacob looked thoroughly amused as their eyes met.
“Oh yeah?” Jacob taunted. “Watch this!” he growled and pulled a laughing Millie into his lap. He began tickling and kissing her, much to the children delight. They squealed and ran off. A parent yelled out an apology and waved at them. Jacob was in heaven and Millie was his angel. She looked so very happy and content. Her face radiated joy and he wanted to keep her this way.
Millie kissed him lightly and tried to pull off his lap. Jacob would have none of it; he grabbed the spoon and gave her a bite of potato salad. “You know you are going to have to put me down eventually so we don't get our work clothes filthy and we can eat within our lunch period,” she said teasing him. She truly enjoyed how much attention he paid her and how ‘hands on’ he was in touching her and holding her.
Jacob and Millie enjoyed their break from the world. Millie gave him several spoonfuls of the salad. They lovingly fed each other a few grapes and then broke away to eat their sandwiches, talking between bites.
Millie saw Officer Graham slow down and roll down his window first. Jacob turned and saluted his coworker. “On lunch there, Officer?” Graham questioned looking at Jacob and Millicent, the roses and the food.
Jacob grinned at his coworker. “Yes, sir, almost done and heading back to my patrol shortly.” Millie just waved and Officer Graham looked mildly uncomfortable and haphazardly waved back to her as he drove off.
Millie laughed at his expression and rose to her feet. It was about time to return to Danielle and follow up on a few leads. Jacob stood, too; not wanting his carefree Millie to disappear. He reached out, pulled her to him and kissed her thoroughly. He then gently held her for a moment and released her.
Millie picked up a few items and placed them in the basket, gathered up the large cloth and folded it. “Thank you again Jacob… for everything.” She smiled warmly handing him the basket. “I will see you in the morning for our appointments.” Jacob wouldn't miss another moment with her for the world.
Later that afternoon, turning in his papers at the precinct, Jacob took a lot of ribbing from his coworkers once word had spread from Officer Graham that he had a picnic with Millicent Clark today at the park. Several guys patted him on the back, congratulating him on his win, which made Jacob feel dirty. What started out as competition had turned into something more.
He believed he was falling in love with Millie and could identify the exact moments that cemented it for him. Laughing in the park, when she threw back her head and laughed unrestrained at Tito’s. When she had climbed in his lap and looked at him with those sultry eyes? Oh yes, he had fallen hard for Miss Millicent Clark.
Jacob got out of the station quickly, he didn't want to hear any more celebration about how he ‘thawed the ice princess’ and what ‘warmed her up.’ He didn't want anyo
ne talking about Millie and knew if he let it alone, they would find some other thing to harass each other about.
Jacob sat in his own car for a few and emailed Millie. He missed her smile and couldn't wait to see her in the morning.
My lovely Millie,
I adored seeing your face light up this afternoon-thank you for joining me.
Always yours,
Jacob
Millie checked her email before going to bed and smiled broadly when she saw he had sent her a message. She thought about him all afternoon. He was stunning in his uniform and dark sunglasses. He definitely looked good in black. One of these days she was going to get him out of that uniform and see him lose control, similar to how she felt when he touched her. Millie typed out a quick reply to him:
Jacob,
Nope, scratch that. She thought and hit the delete button. He was always so inviting in his emails and she was pretty to the point. Time to warm things up just a bit?
My darling Jacob,
Thank you again for surprising me with lunch today -I thought about your smile all day and will dream of your kisses tonight…
Sweet dreams,
Millie
Much better, Millie thought. She clicked send, went to the restroom to brush her teeth and floss. She returned and already had a reply:
Darling,
I will have a hard time sleeping after that email. I’m thinking all sorts of thoughts, all surrounding you. Maybe I do need a bigger shower, don't I?
Goodnight sweetheart, I will see you soon.
Jacob
Millie flipped off the light, rolled over and smiled thinking of Jacob.
