Leo’s own passion must have been staggering, watching his friend fuck Nora’s mouth. He drove his cock in and out of her, spreading her open. She begged him not to stop, pushing her bottom into him each and every time he pulled back. She did her best to stay on Gage’s cock, she loved the taste of him and the way his beads of pre-cum coated her tongue. She tried not to bite down each time Leo slammed his cock into her.
Having both her lovers inside of her was even more exciting than she had imagined, and she could feel her entire body shaking as it braced for another climax. She pulled her mouth off Gage for fear of hurting him, and cried out as another orgasm ripped through her.
Nora opened her eyes to see Gage stroking his own swollen cock, drops of pre-cum soaking his hand. He told her she looked fucking beautiful when she came. With Leo still fucking her from behind, she replaced his hand with her own, and began stroking him. She expertly rubbed him off, knowing exactly how much pressure he needed and when she sensed he was ready to cum, she brought her face down, pulling his cock back into her mouth. His warm juices pumped down her throat while she swallowed every drop. He knit his fingers through her hair, moaning his approval.
The hot little scene must have sent Leo over the edge because he began fucking her with an intensity she had never felt from him before. He smacked her ass playfully, bruising her delicate flesh, an act he knew she enjoyed. She screamed out his name, rocking her body in time with his powerful rhythm, and that was enough. He pulled his throbbing cock out of her and pumped his hot jizz onto her ass.
They stayed that way for several minutes, Nora laying on Gage’s chest, his naked body beneath her, and Leo resting on top of her, his recovering cock twitching against her ass. Nora did her best to keep her struggling emotions at bay, not allowing insecurity and doubt to meander their way back into her thoughts. There was time enough for that later, she just wanted to close her eyes and enjoy the moment.

Nora woke up, alone, in her own bed, her hot skin moist with beads of sweat, strings of her hair glued to her face, slick with perspiration. It took her a few minutes to gather her senses, get her bearings straight. She was heavily aroused, her rigid clit ached between her legs, her lips swollen with desire. She tried to steady her shallow breaths, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the dark.
She’d had erotic dreams before, but never anything so vivid and exciting as this. She could practically smell their after shave, taste the warm musk of Gage in her mouth, feel the sensation of Leo’s hands squeezing her bottom, see the shadows of her dream lovers in the corner, and hear their screams of passion in the stillness of her silent bedroom. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. It was an amazing dream, but would forever remain a fantasy. She couldn’t recall the whole thing, but it had shaken her to the very core, and even offered her some of the insight she had been reaching for.
She picked up her phone to check the time. It was 2:00 am, early Monday morning. She had spent the entire weekend alone, hiding from everything and everyone, but she couldn’t do that anymore. She had to pull herself together and suck it up. Life needed to go on.
She scrolled through her phone, opening her text messages. There was one from her sister, demanding that she touch base with her tomorrow or she was calling their mother for back up. Nora chuckled and sent her a quick message back.
I’m alive, well, and working it out. Don’t be a drama queen ;)
Both Gage and Leo had sent her a text as well. After a weekend of silence, topped with that erotic porn dream, she was actually excited to hear from both them.
Hey Baby, been thinking about you all day. Let me know when this damn break is over. Your bed is lonely without me. I’m off tomorrow if you want to call.
Nora chuckled, still blushing from the dream she just had. She was feeling rather lonely and kind of wished Leo was there right now, warming her bed and her bottom.
She opened Gage’s text. He had only written one sentence.
What can I do right now to bring a smile to your beautiful face?
She read his text again, and again. It made her smile.
* * *
Nora stood in the shower, letting the warm water cleanse her mind, body and spirit. Once she had fallen back to sleep, she slept well, deeply. For the first time in a long time she woke up rested and at peace.
As she was getting dressed she got a call from building security. There was a delivery for her waiting at the front desk. He offered to bring it to her and she invited him up. She met him at the door a few minutes later, and accepted a wrapped bouquet of flowers along with a small box tied with a red ribbon. They chatted for a few minutes, mainly building gossip and pleasantries, before he bid her goodbye.
She unwrapped the paper around the flowers to find a dozen red roses, and set them on the kitchen counter to fill a vase with water, thinking about the last time she had used it. Gage had brought her daisies, the night he took her to the food festival. It seemed so long ago now. Having found no card attached to the flowers she quickly retrieved the gift box that had come with her delivery.
Inside she found a note, on a sheet of plain white paper, typed instead of handwritten.
Let’s take a‘break’ in NYC.
A little business, then a lot of pleasure.
Gelato in Central Park.
Italian on the patio at Bar Pitti.
Jersey Boys on Broadway.
Martini’s at Monkey Bar.
Dessert between your legs...
Meet me at terminal 7, LAX tomorrow night at 8:00 pm. I booked
the red eye.
Leave your panties in your suitcase...we’ll join the mile high
club.
I love you. xo
Nora chuckled at the note, intrigued by the sentiment. The message wasn’t signed but it could only have come from one of two people. She was certain it was Leo. Hadn’t he mentioned that he was planning a trip to the east coast, to take a holiday and visit his family? Was this his way of proving how serious he was? Show her that he wanted more? His note said he loved her.
She looked back in the box, to see if the sender was revealed somewhere but only found the United Airlines plane ticket registered in her name. LAX to JFK, leaving at 10:10 pm the following night. That was it. She tore out all the tissue paper and shook it, just in case. Nora set the airline ticket on the counter, and pushed it away from her with her fingertips, not sure what to think. She stared at it from a distance, biting her bottom lip. What the fuck did it mean? There was only one person that could answer that question, and she had to see him.
Leo had told her that he was off work when he had texted her the night before so she decided to drive over to his place in person, and talk to him one on one. She had never shown up uninvited before, but she didn’t think someone who would surprise her with such an extravagant gesture would mind an unannounced visit. When she arrived she was relieved to see his car parked out front, in spite of the fact that she was nervous to see him. She was touched that he reached out to her in such a romantic way, but she needed to know exactly how he felt, right from the Italian Stallion’s mouth.
It took him a few minutes to answer, but by the third ring of the doorbell, he finally opened up. He seemed surprised to see her, greeting her in just a towel.
“Hi,” Nora blushed, suddenly recalling the naughty dream she had the night before.
“Hey, this is a surprise,” he said softly, running his fingers through his wet hair. He looked at her curiously and smiled.
“Well you’re full of surprises too,” she scolded, holding up the plane ticket. He looked at the paper in her hand and shrugged, a nervous smile on his face. “Will you invite me in?”
Leo shifted anxiously from one foot to the other.
“Actually, I was just getting ready to go to work, I’m running late. Can I come by your place later?” he asked, looking at his watch.
“I thought you had today off?” Nora asked hesitantly.
His body
language made her nervous, causing her to thoroughly second guess her unannounced visit. Was something upsetting him?
“Um, yeah I did, but they needed me to come in, some sort of drill they wanted me to supervise,” he stammered, looking at the ground.
Nora was a pro at reading people, she did it every day, and Leo was lying. She was about to call him out on it when she heard someone call his name from inside the house. A woman. He glanced up and met her eyes, looking like a boy that just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Nora’s mouth dropped open in surprise, all the right questions on the tip of her tongue. Who? What? Why?
They stared at one another for several seconds, neither of them speaking. Finally Nora smiled at him, her eyes filled with pity, and handed him the plane ticket. She turned and walked away, without saying another word.
CHAPTER 26
LEO
“Nora, it’s me, let me come up and talk to you,” Leo begged.
He had just finished working a long day shift and was in her lobby, pleading quietly into the intercom. He had prepared an apologetic speech just in case she told him to fuck off. She surprised him though, by buzzing him in, without so much as a word.
He knew he had hurt her the day before. He just stood in front of her like a fucking moron, knowing full well that she knew he was lying to her. He wanted to invite her in, more than anything, but he had shared his bed with the cute little waitress he had met the day before and she was in his frigging shower! He didn’t blame Nora one bit for walking away, but he didn’t want their relationship to end that way. He owed her an explanation.
She opened the door for him, expressionless, then walked away, expecting him to follow. He closed the door behind him and meandered slowly down the hallway. He found her sitting back down at her dining room table, her laptop open in front of her.
“Have a seat,” she offered, her face unreadable. Leo sat down on the bench beside her, and waited for her to speak, unsure where to begin.
“Why did you come?” she asked politely, closing the computer with a gentle thud.
“I thought I should explain myself, and apologize for yesterday,” he began.
He looked around anxiously, trying to summon the words that would make everything okay. She looked at him kindly, which made him feel even worse.
“Jesus, Nora, I don’t know what to tell you. I spent the entire night sick about what happened. I never wanted to hurt you,” he insisted, holding his hand out for her.
She looked down at it but didn’t accept it, so he placed it awkwardly back on his thigh.
“I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching, trying to figure out what my problem is. I have been running from intimacy for so long, Nora, I’m so fucking tired. I just want to be with a woman who loves me. I honestly felt I was ready for that, that I finally found her. I love you Nora,” he confessed genuinely, his eyes filled with remorse.
“Don’t say that Leo, you know it’s not true,” Nora protested, her tone permeated with doubt.
“I want it to be true. I tried to make it true,” he insisted, this time just taking her hand in his without waiting for permission. “You deserve a guy that will give his whole heart to you, without question.”
Nora nodded her head as though she truly believed that he was being sincere.
“I’m going to be honest with you. I wish I could be a Jimmy Stewart, Nora, I really do, but it’s just not me. I’m not a sentimental guy, I don’t think I can ever change that,” Leo admitted.
He looked down and caressed her hand, memorizing every crease, freckle and line, knowing he might never hold it again.
“You don’t have to change, Leo,” Nora objected sweetly, her tone softening. “Not for me.”
They sat in silence for a few minutes, as though avoiding the sad, inevitable conclusion that faced them.
Nora inhaled, slowly and thoughtfully.
“I have to be honest with you too. Yesterday, when I received the delivery, as I was unwrapping the flowers and the gift, the entire time I was hoping they were from Gage,” she confessed, her eyes pleading with him to understand.
He nodded at her, allowing her words to sink in, then slowly released her hand and sat back in his chair.
“What confused me the most though, is how you could spend the night with another woman when you had just picked out flowers for me and bought me a plane ticket. You wrote in your note that you loved me.”
“About that,” Leo grinned, pulling the ticket out of his pocket, “this isn’t from me.”
Nora looked at him curiously, as though quickly trying to process his words. She leaned forward and snatched the ticket from his hand, a grateful smile on her face.
“Oh my god!” she gushed, shaking the ticket in front of him in a gesture of disbelief. “I was coming to see you yesterday to give you back this plane ticket. I came over because I knew I had to say goodbye.”
She reached for his hand again.
“I fucking adore you, Leo! I probably always will and I don’t have any regrets, not a single one. You lit up my life and made me excited to dance again, but it’s Gage who has my heart. I love him,” she whispered.
Leo was not surprised. Coop was a good guy, maybe one of the best. She deserved him. They deserved each other, and he knew it. He nodded at her, silently offering her his blessing. She pulled him gently into an embrace, kissing him on the cheek. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, allowing the moment to seal itself in his memory. He could never regret being with Nora either. She taught him how to open his heart again, and even though he wasn’t ready today, he would be ready someday.
“I have to go!” Nora blurted, peeling herself out of Leo’s arms.
“What time is it?” Leo chuckled and looked at his watch, “You have lots of time, it’s only six-thirty.”
“I have to pack, and call the car service, and stop at the bank, and shit! I have to call my sister,” Nora fretted, pushing her chair back.
“Relax, I will drive you to the airport. Just go do what you need to do,” Leo offered politely.
He may not be Prince Charming, he thought, but he could still do something to ensure a fairytale ending.
They pulled into the airport, only thirty minutes late. Nevertheless, Nora was anxious and fidgeted nervously in the passenger seat. Leo looked over at her and grinned, easing the car into an empty space in the unloading zone.
“Go get your man, baby,” Leo teased, “and remember, he’s going to need consoling after not making the play-offs. I’d do it myself, but he would probably prefer pity sex from you.”
Nora giggled, hugging him tightly.
“Thank you, Leo, this means a lot to me, that you’re being so good about all of this. I honestly hope we all stay friends, that you and Gage will be okay. You will won’t you?”
“Of course we will, in fact the other day we enjoyed a beer together, hashed out our shit. I made a promise to him that if you picked me, he would still be my best man, and that I would do the same for him. I ran it by him just before he left for his game and he was completely on board. I’m not going anywhere. We’re cool,” Leo assured, caressing her cheek with his hand.
A security guard knocked on Nora’s window, gesturing for them to hurry it along. Nora opened the car door and stepped out, meeting Leo at the trunk where he helped her unload her suitcase.
“Goodbye, Leo.”
Nora touched him softly on the face, and pulled him in for a kiss. It was tender, sweet, and final. Like closing the last page of a book, and completing the story of them.
CHAPTER 27
NORA
Nora’s eyes searched through the crowd at the United Airlines counter, desperate to find Gage. He was a tall and striking man so he would stand out, but she couldn’t find him. She searched through her purse for her cell phone to text him, but couldn’t find it. She set it down and checked again more thoroughly, but it still wasn’t fucking there!
She walked around the terminal for a few more minut
es, hoping he might see her and call out to her, but he was nowhere to be found. The thought crossed her mind that maybe he had left when he thought she might not be coming, but decided to dismiss the thought as fast as it came. If he had gone home, she would never know unless she checked in for the flight and searched at the gate.
Nora waited in line to check her suitcase, which took forever, then slowly navigated through security. The airport was utter chaos, the line-ups unbearable, and she knew she was pushing the clock. As she was finally leaving the security point, she heard them announce the first boarding call for her flight, inviting business class and passengers with small children to board. No mention of frantic women meeting their lovers. She still had time!
She knew she only had a few minutes to reach the plane and started running, frustrated that they were taking off from the furthest gate in the terminal.
She anxiously skirted through hundreds of tourists and grumpy travelers, nearly tripping over a young toddler dragging a ‘Despicable Me’ suitcase that looked like a minion, but she finally arrived at the gate, just in time, perspiration soaking through her blouse and running down her thighs.
Passengers were still lined up, but Gage was nowhere to be seen. She couldn’t hide her disappointment. There was still a small chance that he had already boarded the plane, but she hoped he would have been there to greet her, and set her mind at ease.
She walked to the end of the line and followed the passengers forward as they shuffled towards the attendants. She wondered what the hell she would do if Gage wasn’t on the plane. Would they let her off the aircraft once she boarded? Would she have fly to New York alone, waiting five or six hours to call him? Fuck, she thought miserably, she didn’t even have his fucking phone number memorized!
“Excuse me, miss, but are you wearing panties under that skirt?”
She smiled widely when she heard that voice, and all her stress melted away. She turned around and fell into Gage’s arms, kissing him passionately.
