Found My Love [Learning to Love 3] (Siren Publishing Classic)

by Alison Mello

  I dressed her really cute in a pair of pink leggings and a cute dress top. I then decided to put her hair in a pretty French braid so she would look nice for him. I’m staring at her sitting on the floor anxiously awaiting her father’s arrival. She’s so much like me. I see it in her face and the things she does. Chase is just sitting on the couch without a care in the world, and then my thoughts are broken with a hard knock on the door.

  “Daddy!” Katie shouts as she runs to the door, but I’m right behind her before she can open it. Katie hugs her dad as she’s screaming with excitement.

  “Do you have your bag ready?” he asks her as he puts her down.

  She nods as she runs off to get it.

  “Who the fuck is this?” He nods in Chase’s direction.

  I roll my eyes. “First of all, watch your mouth. Second of all, this is my boyfriend Chase. Chase, this is Katie’s father Kyle.”

  Chase gets up to shake his hand being the man that he is, and Kyle ignores him. “Real mature. How about you grow the hell up,” Chase says, shaking his head as he stands behind me.

  “Listen, dude, I warned her no men around my daughter.”

  “Listen, dude, you don’t get to say what she can and can’t do, so get over yourself. She hasn’t been with you in years, so how about you move on and just start being the father you should be to Katie.”

  Katie comes back in the room. “Bye, Mommy. Bye, Chase.”

  “Bye, kiddo! Have fun with your dad, and we’ll see you tomorrow,” Chase says as they walk out the door, and I can hear him growling all pissed off and Chase laughs.

  “You’re so bad.” I snicker to him as I close the door to the apartment.

  He just shakes his head. “He’s an immature asshole and I want to punch him in the face, but who gives a shit about him. I have you all to myself until it is time for us to go out tonight.”

  I walk toward him, and he grabs my arm and pulls me close. His mouth crashes into mine as he kisses me so passionately. He rubs his hands up under my shirt to the back of my bra, and in a matter of seconds he has it undone. He breaks our kiss to lock the house door before he grabs my hand and we head to my room. He starts kissing me again but stops to pull my shirt and bra off. Leaning down to my breast, he takes it in his mouth. He’s licking it and sucking nipple as he undoes the button on my jeans. I arch my back to press my breast into his face as I moan. I’m already soaked for him. He releases it to kiss down my stomach as he pushes my pants and panties to the floor. I help him by stepping out of each leg.

  “I wanted to do this first thing this morning,” he says against my skin.

  “Are we a bit excited?” I ask as he glides his hands up the outside of my legs. His hand rubs over my ass as he stands, and he squeezes my cheeks.

  “I love this ass of yours,” he says as he smacks my cheek. “Lay on the bed for me, T.”

  I climb onto the bed and lay on my back as he strips in front of me.

  “Roll over,” he says as he climbs on the bed.

  I hear him grabbing something out of one of the bags he brought over. He drizzles something on my back and starts to rub in it.

  “Mmmm, that feels so good.” It’s massaging oil. He’s rubbing it into my shoulders, taking all of my tension away. I’m picturing his naked muscular body going to work on my back, his hands gliding up and down my back.

  After a few minutes he leans forward and whispers in my ear to roll back over. He lies on the side of me and glides his oiled hands over my body as he kisses my neck. I’m so turned on that I can feel the wetness between my legs.

  He wastes no time positioning himself between my legs. He rubs his fingers between my folds, lubricating them before he sticks them deep inside of me. He starts licking my clit, and I instantly moan because I love the feeling of his tongue on me. He pulls his tongue away but is still fucking me with his fingers. He curls them inside of me, rubbing the spot that’s supposed to give me an orgasm, and I stiffen.

  “Baby, I want you to relax for me. Lie there and enjoy.”

  He starts moving his fingers faster and pressing harder. I’m grinding my hips in pleasure, riding his fingers like they were his cock. Pressure is building like I have never felt before.

  “Breathe, baby,” he says, encouraging me.

  The pressure is getting worse and it feels like I need to go to the bathroom. “Chase, stop.”

  He gives me a dirty grin. “No way, baby. Let it go.”

  “I can’t, Chase, I have to—”

  “No you don’t, baby. It’s your orgasm. Relax and let it go.”

  I take another deep breath, willing myself to relax.

  “Come on, baby. Give it to me.”

  I take another deep breath, and all of a sudden I’m trembling and shaking as my first orgasm tears through me. “Oh my God, Chase. Oh my God!”

  “That’s it, baby. Ride it out,” he says as I grind my hips against his hand and pant like I’ve run a marathon.

  He pulls his fingers out and starts lapping up all of my juices. He licks, kisses, and nips his way all the way up to my ear. He pauses to whisper, “I love that I gave you your first orgasm.”

  I turn to him with a huge grin on my face. “That was pretty amazing. Thank you.”

  He rolls a condom over his large length and climbs on top of me. “Ready for round two?”

  I bite my lip and nod. “Yes, please.”

  He slams his length balls-deep inside of me and pauses for me to adjust to his length. He rests his forehead on mine as he starts to move. He’s looking deep into my eyes, and it is almost too much. I want to look away, but I can’t. I love him, and although I haven’t told him, it’s like he can see it in my eyes. He continues fucking me as the pressure he introduced me to before starts to slowly build again. He pulls his gaze from mine long enough to kiss me softly and gently over and over. Our kiss deepens as our tongues are battling it out.

  He stops again and looks me in the eye. “Give it to me, baby, I can feel you’re close.”

  I move my hips to meet him thrust for thrust, and all of a sudden it is there again. Another orgasm is ripping through me as I’m milking him for every drop he has. He slows and then stops as he again rests his forehead against mine.

  “I know we haven’t been together long, but I can’t wait another minute. I love you, Theresa. I think I have loved you from the minute I saw you walk into Abbey and Seth’s yard looking lost.”

  “That’s good because I love you, too, and it was killing me to keep it in any longer. I was afraid I would scare you off,” I say shyly. “I love you so much, Chase. You're so good to us, and I appreciate you so much.”

  “Why don’t we take a nap before we have to go out later?” he says as he climbs off me and heads into the bathroom to get rid of the condom. When he comes back I have the alarm set so we have plenty of time to get ready.

  “Where are we going tonight?” I ask, trying to get him to spill the surprise.

  “Nice try, T. get some sleep,” he says as he slides in bed on the side of me.

  * * * *

  The alarm is ringing.

  “Baby, it is time to get up.” Chase groans.

  “Yeah, I’m heading for the shower,” I tell him as I roll out of bed completely naked.

  He comes into the bathroom while I’m showering. “Can I pee while you’re in the shower?

  I burst out laughing. “I don’t care.” He climbs in the shower with me after he’s done. He gives me a kiss and tells me to be comfortable but to dress nice.

  “So, leggings with a nice shirt and a pair of boots are fine?” I ask as I rub soap on my breast.

  He grins at me. “Yes, and if you keep this up we are not going to leave.”

  “What time do we need to leave?”

  He looks at his watch, thinking for a second. “We need to leave here by four thirty so we can be in Boston by six, six fifteen.

  “Boston?” I ask with my eyebrows raised.

  “Okay, our friends
are meeting us for dinner at Top of the Hub, and then we are headed to a VIP room in the club Whisky Saigon. We are going to have dinner, drinks, and a fun night out. I even hired us a car service so we don’t have to worry about driving.”

  “Are you shitting me? That is freaking awesome, but I can’t wear leggings and a nice shirt!” I kiss him and hurry up out of the shower so I can figure out what to wear.

  I’m wrapped in a towel when I call Abbey. “Hey, what are you wearing tonight?”

  “How do you know already?”

  “Chase slipped as I was teasing him in the shower.”

  She bursts into a fit of laughter. “That is awesome. Wait till I tell Seth. He’s going to crack up.”

  “Whatever, what are you wearing?”

  She starts laughing. “I’m wearing a little black dress that Seth bought me. You’re really excited, aren’t you?”

  “Awesome. I have a charcoal-colored dress with sequins that I’m going to wear. Can you believe Chase told me I could wear leggings and a nice top?”

  “Oh my God. I’m glad he slipped. You would have been so mad at him if you had gotten to the club and seen us all dressed up. Even Tracey is dressing up, even though she says she’s fat.”

  I shake my head. “She’s not fat. She’s pregnant.”

  “I know. That’s what I told her.”

  I smile. “Okay, well, I have to go before my hair dries messed up. I’ll see you in a little while.”

  I run into my closet and dig out the dress I am wearing as Chase, clean-shaven and wrapped in a towel, walks into the room from the bathroom.

  “What is that?” he asks, looking at my dress on the bed.

  “The dress I’m wearing tonight. I’m so glad you slipped. The girls are all getting dressed up, and I would have looked so out of place.”

  “Ummm, where is the rest of it?” he says, staring at it with his brows raised.

  “That is all of it. I have had this dress for so long and have not had the chance to wear it. Tonight is perfect. I just have to decide which shoes I want to wear with it. I have a few pairs I can pick from.”

  I head into the bathroom to blow-dry my hair. Once I’m satisfied, I turn the flatiron on and start applying my makeup. I need to take my time applying my eye makeup so I can do an awesome smoky eye with grays and purples. By the time I’m done with my makeup, my flatiron is good and hot so I run it through my hair until it is perfectly straight. I walk back to my room, drop my robe on the floor, pick up my dress, and slip it into place over the sexy gray panty and bra set that I have chosen to wear.

  “I have a hard-on just watching you put on that dress.”

  I jump as I turn around to find Chase standing in the door watching me get dressed. “Looks like it’s going to be a long night, you look pretty hot yourself.” He’s wearing dark gray pants and a deep purple button-down shirt with the top button open, and he smells like heaven.

  There is a knock at the door, so I look at Chase in total confusion. He shrugs and moves so I can head to the door. I open it, and Abbey and I scream like schoolgirls.

  “What are you guys doing here?”

  “Oh, I forgot to mention they’re riding with us into Boston,” Chase says casually.

  I grab Abbey’s hand. “I need your opinion on shoes, come on.” I drag her to my room, and I start digging out two different pairs of shoes, a sparkly silver pair and a black pair.

  “Black for sure!” Abbey says, so I slip my feet into the black ones.

  I peek out the door and I notice the guys are watching some sports game on TV. “So get this, Chase told me he loved me today.”

  “Oh my God, what did you say?”

  “I told him that I loved him, too, and that I appreciated all of his help this week.”

  “That is so awesome!” Abbey beams as she brings me in for a hug.

  I start walking out of the room and she follows me. I’m now fully ready to go, and Abbey and I are looking damn good.

  “Holy shit,” Chase says as I walk into the room. “It’s too bad I can’t wear boots tonight because I have a feeling I’m going to have to kick someone’s ass.”

  We hear a horn outside.

  “That’s our ride,” Chase says, rising from the couch.

  Everyone heads out, and I stay with Chase to lock up. I turn around to find an eight-passenger limo waiting for us. My jaw drops as I turn to Chase.

  “I love you and, I want to give you a special night. Are you excited?”

  “Yes, no one has ever done anything even close to this nice for me. Thank you so much.”

  We climb into the limo, and Seth has a bottle of champagne already open. He hands us each a glass before the driver takes off. “To the latest of the happy couples in our clique of friends.” Seth raises his champagne glass to all of us, we clink glasses, and Chase kisses me.

  “Love you, baby!”

  I smile. “I love you, too.”

  I ask them all to give me a minute to call Katie to say good night. Kyle answers the phone.

  “What?”

  “Why do you have to answer like a jerk? Can I say good night to my daughter, please?”

  “Hi, Mommy!” she shouts into the phone.

  “Hi, sweetie. Mommy is heading out with Chase, Abbey, and Seth, so I wanted to say good night before it got late. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

  “Okay, Mommy. Will we go see Grampy tomorrow?”

  “Mommy has to call Grammy in the morning to see how he’s feeling first, but if he’s up to it we’ll go. Have fun with Daddy, and we will talk tomorrow.”

  “Okay, Mommy!”

  “Katie, I love you, sweetie.”

  “Love you, too, Mommy. Good night!” She cuts off the call.

  “She’s so cute,” Abbey says after I hang up the call.

  “Thanks. Too bad her father is an asshole. Can you believe he’s mad that I have a boyfriend?”

  “Oh, screw him,” Abbey says, “You need to forget him. We’re headed out to have a fun night with our friends.”

  * * * *

  We arrive at Top of The Hub, and it’s beautiful. The crowd outside waiting to get in is looking at the limo, trying to see who is getting out of it. Some smile when they see two beautiful couples climb out, and some frown when they realize it is not someone famous. We must have a reservation because we walk right in, and the people waiting in line for their turn at a table groan.

  We arrive at our table, and Michael is already there with a girl we have never met before. He introduces her as Sylvia, and we all give air kisses on the cheek to welcome her but not ruin our makeup. Michael gives us both a hug and tells us we look beautiful. Sylvia is wearing a gorgeous knee-length silver dress with sparkly silver shoes. She has gorgeous dark blonde hair that flows in large beautiful curls to just above her breast.

  We grab our seats, and just as we do, Sean and Tracey come walking in, so we again get up and start saying hi, air kissing cheeks, and giving hugs. Sean gets to Michael, who goes to introduce his date, and says, “Sylvia? What are you doing here?”

  She looks at Michael. “I didn’t realize he was one of your friends.”

  Michael says, “How do you know him?”

  She smiles at Michael. “He’s my brother.”

  “Well, that is a relief. I thought you were going to say he was an ex of yours and I was going to have to kick his ass.” Michael laughs as he and Sean man hug.

  “Hurt my baby sister and I can promise you that fight.” He leans down and hugs his sister. “You look beautiful, sis.”

  Sarah, Cole, Mark, and Ellen come walking up to our table, and we make rounds to say hi. We all take a seat as the waitress comes over to take our drink order. All the girls order wine, Tracey orders a fruity nonalcoholic drink, and the guys all order beers. All is quiet as we look over the menu so we can decide what we want to eat while we wait for our drinks. I close my menu.

  “Do you know what you want baby?” Chase whispers in my ear.

 
; I turn to him so our noses are just about touching. I kiss him and say, “Yes. I’m having the baked salmon with asparagus and roasted potatoes.” I want healthy food after all the junk I ate all week. “What about you?”

  “Steak and potatoes,” he says as he kisses my cheek before he looks back to the table.

  “Aren’t you two cute?” Sylvia says as she catches my eye from across that table.

  I blush realizing we were caught in our moment.

  “How long have you two been together?”

  “We met at Abbey’s engagement party and have been talking ever since, so about two months.”

  She smiles. “You two look like you’re head over heels in love. It is great to see with all the fighting I see every day as a family court lawyer.”

  “We are, and I think we both knew from the moment we met.”

  “How did you and Michael meet?” I ask, interested because she’s Sean’s sister yet he didn’t know Michael was seeing her.

  Our waitress comes over to deliver our drinks and take our food order. Once she has left the table, Sylvia looks back to me. I smile, giving her the go-ahead with her story.

  “We met through the security firm. I had a very heavy case, and the father was a criminal fighting for visitation, so I hired Michael for security through Seth and Chase. Clearly, I didn’t know that they were friends with Sean. Michael and I hit it off, so he let Seth know that things were becoming personal between us, so now I have Eric as my guard, and I’m seeing Michael.”

  Michael kisses her on the cheek. Michael is a good-looking man. He’s tall and really well built, probably the biggest of all the guys. He has short blond hair with really bright blue eyes, and he’s always well dressed. They make a really cute couple.

  Abbey is sitting on the side of Michael and says to Sylvia, “We all adore Michael. I’m so glad he found himself a sweet girl. He took really good care of my family while he was at my home, and I have become very fond of him.”
