Home Is Where the Heart Is

“I am loving spending time with you too,” he said as he flashed her a smile. “Come on, I’ll take you home.”
After the waitress brought his card back Julie got up from the table. She had only had one glass of wine, but felt like she had downed more than just a glass. But then again, that was what happened when you had thirty year old wine. When they got to the car, he opened the door for her like the perfect gentleman he was before he walked round the car to get in on his side. As they rode in the car, she didn’t realize when they moved closer to each other. She leaned against his shoulder and he draped an arm around her. When they got back to her place, she saw her dad’s car was already parked in the driveway. “I would have asked to come and meet your dad, but I’m guessing that he is probably asleep by now,” he said. She looked at him and smiled.
“Maybe next time,” she said thinking about how her father had always been protective of her, being his only child. But there was no reason why she would have to worry about that now. She looked at him and shrugged.
“We have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. So, tomorrow?” he reasoned. She smiled and nodded.
“Tomorrow,” she agreed. As she looked at him, she could feel his gaze almost melting her. She sat rooted to the spot as the two looked intensely at each other.
Give us a moment Terrence,” he said still looking at her.
“Who?” Julie asked, confused.
“The driver,” he whispered as he leaned forward and kissed her passionately. She moaned softly as she closed her eyes and kissed him back. She knew that this was bound to happen. After their first kiss, all she could do was think about him, his lips on hers and his hands on her back caressing her and drawing her even closer. She pulled back and looked at him.
“Steven…I’m…I’m….” she started saying stuttering nervously.
“Scared?” he said. She nodded and closed her eyes in an attempt to hide the fact that she was blushing. “Nothing is going to happen here, unless you want it to,” he promised. She opened her eyes and looked into his own piercing brown eyes. She didn’t know why, but she could see honesty in them. He leaned forward and then stopped before she leaned in and kissed him. She felt a shiver go through her spine as he ran his hand down her back. He brought his other hand up and held the back of her neck as he kissed her deeper and harder, his mouth seeking hers as their lips mashed together. When he pulled away, he looked at her and smiled.
“What?” she asked in a whisper.
“Nothing. Nothing at all,” he promised before he kissed her again. She brought one hand up and held his bicep as she kissed him softly. She felt him slowly pulling down the zipper on her dress. She would have pushed him off if he was any other man, but this time round, all she wanted to do was let him have his way with her. Another chill went through her spine when she felt him slipping the dress down her shoulders. When he pulled away, she was flushed and breathing hard. She looked at him as he slowly ran his hands up and down her bare arms. It was a simple gesture really, but the way she felt sitting there with his hands on her made her so damn hot. She could feel the moistness in her panties as he leaned forward to kiss her neck. She moaned softly when she felt him run his tongue down her neck and onto her shoulder where he planted a soft kiss. “God, you’re beautiful,” he whispered. Julie opened her eyes and saw the driver leaning against the car.
“The driver,” she shrieked embarrassed.
“He can’t see inside the car,” Steven whispered back as he gently slipped a hand under her knee and lifted one leg and then placed it across his knee. She lifted her other leg and put it on him as he gently forced her down on the car seat. She looked up at him as she lay down on the brown leather. She had no idea that the question she had been asking herself earlier that night (how the leather would feel against her naked body) would be answered this soon. She moaned softly when he slid his hand from her shoulder down to her waist, gently brushing the lace bra that covered her breast as he did so. She was entirely at his mercy, but she seemed to be totally content with that. At that moment, she was his and he was hers and that was all that mattered. She held his head as he planted kisses on her tummy slowly moving up. She was breathing hard and fast as she felt his hand slipping under her. She looked into his eyes as he undid her clasp with one hand. She arched her back, giving him the all clear sign so that he could pull the bra off. She looked at him as he looked at her well-formed perky breasts. She closed her eyes and whimpered when he brushed her breast softly. Steven caressed her breast gently, softly allowing the soft delicate skin under his fingers to feel his flicking touch. A smile played on his lips when he cupped a breast, making her moan softly, her nipple pressing against his palm. He cupped her other breast and looked down at her as she arched her back. He lowered his head and kissed her chest, slowly working his way down to the tops of her breasts.
Julie knew what was coming next and she was afraid, she wanted to stop and yet she wanted to stay there, in her current position, in his care, at his mercy. When he finally took one of her nipples into his mouth, she gasped and tightened her grip on his head. She tried hard not to scream as he sucked hard and circled her nipple with his tongue. She got equal attention from his fingertips on her other breast. By this time, all she could think of was his lips on her. She knew that she would have to have him at some point, but she was not ready for that point to be that night, parked outside her house where she was sure that her father was probably wondering where the hell she was. When he pulled away from her breast, she whimpered in protest. He looked down at her and smiled before he lowered his head and took her other nipple in his mouth to give it the same treatment he had given the other one just minutes before. When he was finally done, her panties were soaked. She wanted nothing more than to have him all in her.
Steven looked at her and kissed her softly as he ran his hand down her leg, making her moan softly. She gasped when she felt his hand on her bare skin, slowly going up under her dress to her soft upper thigh. He kissed her lightly and then pulled away from her. He looked into her eyes that were now glossy with desire and smiled.
“Don’t stop,” she pleaded in a low voice. He looked down at her and raised his hand even higher, getting so close to her core that she breathed even faster. She looked at him as she felt him slowly caressing her inside thigh, working his way down to her pussy. He smiled when he finally touched her wet crotch. He knew that he was making her hot, but he had not realized exactly how hot he was making her. He ran his finger up and down her moist slit making her arch her back and moan. Steven had never seen anything so sexy. Julie was exactly that: sexy without even trying. She looked at him as he caressed her pussy through her panties. What she didn’t realize was how much she was shivering without even knowing it. But at that time, Steven was done teasing and Julie seemed to have read his mind. She raised her right leg and put it on his shoulder, making the dress reveal her flawless thigh to him. Steven smiled and pulled her panties to one side before he touched her wet slit gently. She struggled to keep her cool as he ran his fingers up and down her slit, slowly at first and then faster as he went on. She had never had a man do this to her, command so much presence in the bedroom. She was always the dominant one making all the moves, but she was just coming to the realization that being on the receiving end was even more pleasurable.
When Steven finally decided to test her wetness with his long index finger, Julie felt her walls spasm almost immediately as he pushed his finger inside her. He pulled it out and then pushed it back inside and then repeated the motion over and over, slowly but steadily. She closed her eyes and moaned softly as he slowly fingered her. After a few minutes, he pulled his finger completely out of her. She raised her head and looked at him just as he re-entered her, this time with two fingers rather than one. She could not believe that this was happening. It was unlike anything she had ever had before, it was perfection. Steven put his thumb on her clit and rubbed it gently as he went on fingering her. He put his free hand on her t
ummy and let it slowly drift upwards until he cupped her breast. Her nipple was still hard, and he loved the way it was pressing against him. He almost wished he was on top of her, that he was able to feel her breasts against his chest. It was not long before he felt her walls spasm again. He knew she was close. She suddenly got up from the seat and slipped an arm around his neck. He used his free hand and helped her on him, so that she was straddling him. She was breathing hard and fast as he fingered her hard and fast. Julie looked into his eyes and let a hand slip down and touch his now hard penis through his pants. The size of his cock made her shudder; she was not sure he noticed her surprise as he looked at her. She caressed him slowly enjoying the way he was moaning softly as she explored .
Julie kissed him as he went on fingering her, rubbing her clit as he did so. She suddenly felt herself tightening around his fingers and she knew that it wasn’t going to be much longer.
“Steven…I’m going to cum,” she moaned as she buried her head in his shoulder.
“Cum for me. I want you to,” he begged as he held her around the waist and began to finger her even harder.
“But I’m going to…” she started saying before he stopped fingering her making her lift her head to look at him.
“Just cum for me,” he growled in a low voice before he started fingering her again. She buried her head in his shoulder and gave in to her body’s desires. She moaned as she felt herself explode against his fingers. When he finally pulled his fingers out of her, he smiled. “I wish I could have seen that, you squirting,” he said as he raised his soaked fingers to his lips. She looked at him and felt her cheeks flushing as he licked her juice off his fingers. “You taste so good.”
He kissed her deeply and she climbed off him when he pulled away.
“I’m so sorry,” she apologized when she saw his stained pants.
“What for?” he asked with a smile.
“Your pants…I messed them up,” she shyly whispered.
“It was worth every second,” he said. Julie knew that he was trying hard not to show the discomfort he was in thanks to his raging hard on. She pulled her dress up and put her hands through the armholes while he looked at her. “Let me do that,” he offered, reaching behind her and pulling up her zipper. She frowned when she spotted her bra on the floor. She took it and stuffed it in her purse and then looked into his eyes.
“Dinner was great,” she said as she looked at him.
“Just dinner?” he asked smiling. Julie shook her head and shrugged. “We should do this again,” he added. She shook her head and shrugged. “What?” he asked. “Don’t you want to see me again?”
“Well, you are my client and Dana…” she started to say.
“Let me worry about Dana,” he said. She smiled and then shrugged.
“I have to go,” she said. He opened the door and stepped out before holding the door open for her. She stepped out and looked at him briefly before she turned to look at the driver. “Thanks Terrence,” she smiled. The driver smiled at her and gave her a little wave with his hand.
“I’ll walk you to the door,” Steven offered. She smiled and nodded. “It is after all the gentlemanly thing to do,” he added. When they got to the door, he looked at her and smiled. He took a step forward and then gave her a long kiss before he pulled away. “Have a good night Julie Parker.”
“Good night Steven,” she said before she opened the door and entered her house. She closed the door and locked it and then leaned against it until she heard the town car drive away. She closed her eyes and sighed as she sunk to the ground. It was at that moment she realized just what was going on. She had just made out and got to God knows what base with a client. This was not normal for Julie. Like Meg said, she would scrutinize people first before she even shook their hands but now…she was confused.
“What the hell did you do, Julie Parker? What did you do?” she wondered as she sat on the floor.
Chapter 5
It had been almost five days since the dinner date and Julie still had not heard anything from Steven. She hated when men did this and she felt a little used to say the least. She wanted to put his head under her tire and run over him over and over again, but she knew all too well that she couldn’t do that. She and Steven had no commitment and calling him to bitch would just show him that she was like all the other dramatic bitches of the world. Meg had tried getting everything out of her, but the one thing she didn’t want to do was talk about Steven. Matter of fact, she had decided to do the one thing that would get him off her mind: bury herself in work. Dana had assigned her three new clients and so far, she loved everything about it. She actually found that the only time she thought about Steven was late at night, just before she slept, but a sleeping pill took care of that.
She had just walked back into the office after a long day. She had actually broken a personal record. She had managed to hold three open houses, and had already closed a couple of deals. She was feeling pretty good about herself as she walked towards her desk.
“Hey Julie, don’t get comfortable yet. We are having a board meeting in five,” Tamera, one of her workmates warned as she walked past her desk.
“Okay,” Julie said. “Do you know what about?” she asked as she looked over her shoulder.
“No, not really,” Tamera said before she walked away. Julie looked down at her black shiny pointed toe high heels and then frowned.
“I should have worn flats…or at least carried the spare pair from the car,” she thought as she walked towards the water dispenser. She poured herself a glass of water and then headed to the board room. She had just taken a seat when Dana walked in.
“Okay people. This is a short meeting. The Realtor Association of America annual gala is coming up next month. We need to make sure we meet our quota to get a nomination. Last year we lost by a mere hundred grand. This year, let’s make sure we get back the title from Lory Kahn and Associates. God knows we deserve it and we are on a really good track. This past month Julie Parker and Mark Thornton have brought in almost thirty million in sales. Keep this up and we will definitely get the RAA this year. And finally, there are rumors that the Pinkett manor is about to go on the market. Let us make sure that we get that listing,” Dana informed everybody. Julie smiled. The Pinkett manor was like the White House as far as realtors were concerned. Working in a firm that took care of handing the property over from one owner to the other would be legendary. “I have it on good authority that Lila Pinkett is going to be at the Hilton tonight, so we got to hustle,” she added. Tamera and Julie exchanged glances. Julie knew that Tamera and Lila had rubbed shoulders before and that she had the upper hand over the other realtors in the company.
“Go get ‘em,” Julie said to her.
“Julie, can I talk to you for a minute?” Dana asked as everyone exited the board room. Julie smiled and walked up to her boss. “You and Steven seem to be striking up quite the chemistry, so I’ll just leave him to you,” she said. Julie smiled and nodded.
“He needs more properties?” she asked surprised. She would have thought that after buying three houses and two condos that he’d maybe had enough.
“Well, he is always looking really,” Dana replied.
“So, then why don’t we just do it and cut out the middleman?”
Julie surprised even herself. She had just about had enough of him ignoring her, so much that she was about to actually screw him out of a deal.
“Well, Lila Pinkett is the only celebrity we know. And even with her, we have to hustle but he has all the connections. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had Jay-Z on his speed dial,” Dana explained. “Right now, he is doing great for us.”
“Cool, I guess,” Julie muttered.
“He was flying back into the country this morning. So how about you go pick him up? He wants to hit the ground running,” Dana said.
“He has a driver for that,” Julie said matter-of-factly.
“How can you be so sure?” Dana asked looking a
t her.
“Well,…he is a millionaire….so I just assumed you know…,” Julie stammered hoping Dana had not noticed. Dana shrugged and began walking towards the door with Julie.
“You have a point. But he did say that he wanted to meet you first thing. So you need to get yourself to the airport,” Dana said. “I will email you the proposed listings,” she added.
“Okay I’ll be going then,” Julie said.
“Wait, I have something for you,” Dana told Julie as she handed her the package she had in her hands. “It’s an alarm clock. You really need it,” she added before walking away leaving a smiling Julie holding the package. She then walked to her desk and picked up her bag before she headed out. The drive to the airport was shorter than she anticipated, maybe because she was trying to figure out what she was supposed to say to Steven when she saw him. The truth was she was really pissed off. The way she felt, she was just a few hundred dollars away from being a whore. She spotted Terrence almost immediately as she arrived at the waiting area.
“Terrence, hi. Remember me? Julie Parker,” she announced. Terrence smiled at her and nodded.
“Of course. How do you do,” he greeted.
“What time does Mr. Davenport’s flight get here?” she asked Terrence.
“It’s already here…actually there he is.”
Terrence pointed to Steven who was walking out of customs holding a black checkered bag. She suddenly felt her heart skip a beat as she looked at him slowly walking towards them. He looked even sexier than she remembered in a blue pair of jeans, a maroon tribal t-shirt and a pair of white sneakers. She tried smiling, but she found that she couldn’t. All she could do was stand there and look at him in all his handsome glory flashing them a smile.
“Terrence,” he said when he got to where they were.
“Mr. Davenport. Very nice to see you. Welcome back,” Terrence said as he took the bag from him. Steven turned his attention to Julie.
