A Huge Mistake

by Laney Kay

  Her tongue flicked out and traced her lower lip. “Oh, yeah.” She shifted onto her knees next to him and subtly rubbed her legs together, obviously excited. Jake thought he was going to explode if she didn’t touch him soon.

  “So, feel free to jump in any time.” His strokes sped up, and he felt himself lengthen even more under her attention.

  She shook her head, never taking her eyes off him. “No, you just keep on doing what you’re doing. I’ve never actually watched a man do this in front of me before, and I’ll have to admit, it’s kind of exciting.”

  Holy shit, this woman was going to kill him. He was so excited at this point that his erection was hard as iron, and the head of it was wet and swollen. It wouldn’t take long for him to finish himself off like this, so if that’s what she wanted, he was more than willing to accommodate her. “You sure that’s what you want, baby? You sure you don’t want to put this to good use inside you?” He paused, and squeezed himself so that a bead of liquid appeared on the tip. “The way you’re shifting around, it looks like you could use some attention yourself.” He slowly spread the liquid around the head with his thumb and went back to stroking himself.

  “No, Jake, you finish up this way, and then the next one we’ll play together. I don’t want you to distract me while I watch.”

  He shrugged. “Okay, if that’s what you want, baby, here you go.” He squeezed himself harder and started working his shaft faster as Lola continued to watch. He braced his feet on the bed and bent his knees, and his back arched slightly as he got closer to the edge. His breathing became harsh and he opened his eyes so he could watch Lola as she watched him. She bit her lip and moaned as she saw his balls draw up tighter against his body and his other hand moved faster and faster. Finally, he arched up, and a harsh groan tore up from his chest as he came so hard that the thick fluid shot up almost to his chest and pooled on his stomach.

  He collapsed back on the bed, still watching Lola, whose eyes had never left him. As he tried to catch his breath, she finally looked up his body until she met his eyes. She smiled at him and then leaned over to kiss him gently. “Sweet baby Jesus, Jake, that was one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen.” She threw a leg over his body until she straddled his hips. “Feel what you did to me.” She took his hands and put them on her thighs and he slid them up until he could feel between her legs. She was soaked. He groaned and turned one hand so he could penetrate her with one, then two, big fingers. He slowly pulled out and pushed back in, and she immediately started moving against his hand as he stroked her.

  He smiled at the dazed expression on her face as he continued his caresses. “Hey sugar, you want to take this session into the shower?” He waved his hand toward his chest and stomach. “I’ve made a pretty decent mess here,” and he lifted his head to look around, “and I don’t see anything I can use to clean myself up.”

  Lola nodded, but she was having a good time right where she was, so she murmured, “Maybe later,” and leaned over to kiss him, carefully avoiding his chest and stomach. As soon as she leaned over him, he pulled his fingers out of her, grabbed her and pulled her down so she was plastered against the front of his body. She screeched and tried to push him away. “Eewww, Jake, stop it! That feels so goopy.” He started laughing at her reaction, and then he locked his arms around her and rubbed his chest and stomach all over her. She started laughing as she tried to get away, and pretty soon they were both a gummy mess. He finally let her go, and she sat up and held both arms out to the side as she looked down at herself, and then at him, in disbelief. “Yuck, Jake, damn it, look at what you did! Now we’re both a hot, sticky mess.” He shrugged, and she shook her head at his unrepentant grin, trying not to smile. “Well, I guess you’re going to get your way. We’d better move this action to the shower, because if this stuff dries, we’ll be totally glued together, you crazy man. It’ll take the jaws of life to peel us apart.”

  He winked. “I thought you’d feel that way once you thought about it.” He sat up, wrapped his arms around her hips, and stood up with her still straddling his lap. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her into the bathroom, putting her down next to the shower. Jake reached in, turned on the water, and adjusted the temperature. While they were standing there, he kissed her and then turned toward the bedroom. “Be right back. I’ve got some more condoms by the bed.”

  She grabbed his arm to stop him. “Hey, Jake. I just had my annual doctor’s appointment last month, I’ve been on the pill for years, and I’m clean as a whistle. Unless you have an issue, we can try it without them.”

  He stared at her. He hadn’t gone without a condom since his divorce. “Lola, I just got tested a few months ago and I haven’t been with anyone in over a year, but are you sure?”

  She shrugged. She’d thought about it in the car all the way back to his house, and she was sure. She hadn’t had sex without one since she broke up with her fiancé in college, but she was confident that Jake would never do anything to risk her safety. “I’m good if you are.”

  They stared at each other and Jake started laughing as he echoed her. “Am I good? Are you kidding? I’m great!” Lola started laughing and he winked at her as he waved her into the shower. “After you, sugar.”

  She stepped in and turned so that the water flowed directly onto her chest and stomach as Jake stepped in behind her. As soon as she was rinsed off, she turned so that the water hit both of them and she reached up to kiss him as she started running her hands over his chest and stomach, helping to clean him up. She broke off the kiss and smiled up into Jake’s heavy lidded eyes as she reached for a bar of soap, lathered up her hands, and then placed her hands on the side of his neck and started washing him. “My turn first, Jake.” She rubbed her hands down his neck and across his shoulders, stopping at a scar that looked like a puncture wound bisected by a long surgical scar. “Is that where you got shot?”

  He nodded. “Yeah, but it’s no big deal. The scar is big because they had to do some repair in there from where the bullet bounced around, but there was no serious damage.”

  She rubbed it gently and then continued down his body, lathering up his chest, then his stomach, then smiling at his disappointed, “Seriously? Nothing?” as she bypassed his groin to continue washing his thighs, legs, and feet. Lola shifted around to his backside and washed the backs of his legs, then stood up to wash his back and shoulders and down to his waist. She then grabbed the bar of soap and lathered her hands up until she had clouds of fluffy bubbles. She slowly rubbed her hands over the round cheeks of his muscled butt, then slipped between them and then down between his thighs. Jake groaned and spread his legs to give her more room. Lola cupped him from behind with one hand, fondling his testicles, and then reaching forward, she wrapped her soapy hand tightly around his erection and started stroking him.

  Jake leaned forward and braced his hands on the opposite wall of the shower, letting the hot water cascade down on his head as he enjoyed her gentle exploration. After a few strokes, he reached around to pull Lola to his front so he could see her. She was smiling at him. “Now you’re squeaky clean, sweet thing.” She reached over and grabbed the handheld shower and started to rinse him off. As soon as she was done, Jake took it out of her hands, hung it back up, and gathered her against him. He bent his head and kissed her sweetly, but the kiss quickly got out of control. Jake backed her against the wall of the shower, grabbed her thigh, wedged it high on his hip, and slammed his entire length inside her. When Lola gasped and stiffened, Jake instantly stopped. He pulled his head back so he could see her face. “Oh shit, Lola, I’m sorry, did I hurt you? Need me to stop?” He was hanging on to his control by a thread. Without the latex, the sensations were much more intense, and she was so hot and so wet that he wasn’t sure he’d be able to last once he started to move.

  She shook her head. “No, Jake, it just took me a second to catch my breath.” She grabbed his ass with both hands and reached up and kissed him quickly. “You sti
ll take a little getting used to. But I don’t want you to stop, I need you to move. Now.”

  He laughed and obliged, slowly pulling back and then thrusting forward, rotating his hips at the end of each stroke. She moaned and rubbed herself against him. “Harder, and a little faster, Jake. Please.”

  He nodded and obliged, with Lola grinding herself against him with every stroke. Within a minute, she was writhing mindlessly against him, and he could feel her muscles start to clench around him. He started pounding into her harder, until he finally felt her completely let go. Her head dropped back, her fingernails dug into his ass as she pulled him as tight against her as she could, and she moaned his name as she held him deep inside her as she went over the edge.

  As soon as she was done and was hanging limply against the wall, Jake started to move quickly inside her with hard, pounding thrusts and finally his head dropped forward, he slammed against her once, twice, three times, and on the fourth stroke he thrust into her as deep as he could go, holding himself there as his orgasm ripped through him. He collapsed against Lola, pinning her against the wall, holding her there with his body weight.

  When he could finally catch his breath, he managed to gather himself enough to brace his arms against the wall so he could support his weight and give Lola some space to breathe. He leaned against one arm and used the other hand to push Lola’s wet hair out of her face. He leaned forward and gently kissed her. “Hey, sugar, you okay?”

  She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Jake, a lazy, damn-that-was-some-good-sex smile. “I’m totally fine, Jake. In fact, I think I can say I’m absolutely fabulous, thanks to you.”

  He stood up, helped her take her thigh off his hip, and then slowly pulled out of her as he steadied her and helped her stand up straight. As they both swayed unsteadily on their feet, they looked at each other and laughed. Lola shook her head. “We’re quite a pitiful pair, aren’t we?” She leaned against him and hugged him. “I’ll tell you what, Jake. It’s been so long since I had sex without protection, I’d forgotten about how intense it can be.” She felt him nod above her as he hugged her back. She pulled back and looked up into his face and winked. “And how messy. How about we try a real shower this time?”

  They finished their shower and were almost finished getting dressed when Jake pulled a sweatshirt over his head and turned so that Lola could see the writing on the front that said, “Alabama National Champions 2018. This is what we do.” She rolled her eyes and mimed sticking her finger down her throat, and Jake started laughing.

  They both pulled on a pair of sweatpants and went downstairs. Unfortunately, they had already eaten most of what Daisy had made for them, and they didn’t feel like thawing out anything to cook, so they were rummaging around the kitchen trying to find something to eat. Jake pulled out his phone and called his brother. Steve answered the phone on the second ring, sounding worried. “What? Did something happen?”

  “Hey Steve. I’m putting you on speaker. No, nothing bad. Lola just got a call from her friend at the medical examiner’s office and they just got the autopsy results on Mitch, including the tox results.”

  Steve sounded distracted. “Hang on a minute, Jake.” They could hear him discussing something in the background, then he came back on the line. “Okay, that was my buddy at the FDA. When you do a large study on a new drug, samples are collected and stored for random testing at various points in the process. He’s going to see if he can get ahold of a couple of those samples.”

  “Do you need a warrant for that?” Lola didn’t want him to do anything that could get him into trouble or that could blow the case if it turned out there was an actual problem.

  “I’d need a warrant if I wanted to test it, at this point, but the FDA guys don’t, so it’s not a problem.” Suddenly he stopped. “Wait, did you say you had the results of Willard’s autopsy?”

  “Yep.” Jake and Lola smiled at each other when Jake didn’t elaborate. It only took a second for Steve to react.

  “So what killed him? An injection of potassium chloride to stop his heart? Some kind of poison?”

  Lola snickered. “Apparently, fried chicken and a sedentary lifestyle. With a contributing factor of heartbreak caused by the University of Alabama.”

  There was dead silence. “Are you telling me he died of natural causes?”

  Jake was nodding as he answered. “Yep. He had a massive heart attack. The injection mark on his chest wasn’t from someone trying to kill him. It was from a last-ditch resuscitation effort by the EMTs.”

  Steve whooped in the phone. “That’s great. So Lola, he wasn’t killed because of the information he stole.”

  She smirked at Jake as she answered. “Not unless the killer had the most poorly planned contract killing in history…follow the little fat dude around and wait until he drops dead of a massive heart attack.”

  Steve laughed. “Well, this is certainly looking better for you, Lola. Now, let’s just find out if they’re trying to sneak anything past the FDA, and we’ll know for sure what’s going on. Hang in there, and I’ll be back with you the second I hear anything. Later guys.” He disconnected and Jake and Lola went back to rummaging through the fridge.

  Jake opened a container of barbeque and took a sniff. He then handed it to Lola to check out, and she sniffed it and shrugged. “So long as that’s supposed to be barbeque, it smells okay to me.”

  Jake agreed, so he reached into the pantry and pulled out a package of buns and a new bag of Cheetos. At the sight of the Cheetos bag, Lola gasped dramatically and clutched her chest. “Be still my heart. Jake, are you a Cheetos fan?”

  He snorted. “Uh, yeah. Who isn’t? Cheetos are only the world’s best snack food. And I’m talking the little crispy ones, not the big puffy ones.”

  Lola wiped imaginary tears from her eyes. “Finally. A man after my own heart.” She grabbed the bag and ripped it open, grabbing a huge handful before handing it back to Jake. She leaned against the counter and munched happily while he heated the barbeque in the microwave and popped the buns in the toaster. While they waited for their food to heat, Jake popped a handful of Cheetos in his mouth and stared into space, thinking furiously.

  Lola interrupted his thoughts. “So what are you thinking?”

  It took him a second to realize she was talking to him. She repeated the question and he winked. “Obviously, I’m thinking that a woman who loves Cheetos, barbeque, and sex is the textbook definition of the ideal woman.”

  She grabbed a handful of Cheetos and winked back. “Obviously. But for the record, not necessarily in that order.” She stuffed the snack food in her mouth and laughed when Jake leaned over to kiss her.

  The microwave dinged and he turned to pull out the barbeque. Lola grabbed two plates and pulled the buns out of the toaster, and Jake then spooned the pork onto the buns, while Lola poured them each a glass of water. They sat at the table and chewed in silence, both lost in their own thoughts.

  The more Lola thought about the past few days, the more she became upset. She felt like she owed Jake a huge apology. When Lola swallowed the last bite of her sandwich and chased it with a glass of water, she turned to Jake, took a deep breath and blew it out forcefully. “I’m so sorry I got you involved with all this. It’s obvious that none of this is a big deal and I totally overreacted. This has all been a huge mistake.”

  That got Jake’s attention. He glared at her as he shook his head. “That’s absolutely not correct.”

  Lola glared right back. She’d always prided herself on being self-sufficient and never depending on someone else to take care of her, and she was mortified that her wrong assumptions had cost Jake that much time, money and manpower for nothing. “Really? It looks like a correct assessment to me. Let’s recap. No one killed Mitch, it looks like the program is a relaxation program to help reduce the need for opiates, and the company appears to be legitimate and is involved in a properly registered and monitored clinical trial.” She snorted. “This
whole situation has been a great use of everyone’s time.”

  He reached across the table and took her hand and squeezed it until she looked at him. “Four men broke into your house and office to steal a flash drive, so you had legitimate concerns. And we still don’t know what the deal is with the opioid. If the professor is right and they’ve actually falsified the composition of the drug, you’re talking about millions of dollars in losses, and there may also be criminal charges for anyone involved. Someone like you could be a huge loose end, and we both know that people have killed for a lot less than that. Until we find out the truth about the drug, you’re still potentially in danger.”

  She thought about it and finally nodded. “No, you’re right. We still don’t have all the pieces of this puzzle yet.”

  “And even if you’re not personally in danger, if it turns out they’re using that experimental drug to make their opioid more effective, the amount of people who could’ve ended up addicted is a horrific end result. And now that won’t happen.”

  She nodded as he smiled at her. “I guess you’re right, Jake. It would be worth a week of lost time just to make sure that innocent people are protected from an unsafe product.”

  He reached for her other hand, too, and brought them both to his mouth for a sweet kiss. “And if it hadn’t been for this, we never would have met. That alone makes all this worthwhile to me.” She rolled her eyes and tried to pull her hands loose, but he held on. He winked at her. “Come on, Lola, you’ve had a great time with me this week. Admit it. You think I’m adorable.” He flashed his dimples at her and batted his eyes, and she couldn’t help it. She started laughing.
