When I found my way back into the heart of the bar, Mack was nowhere in sight as he promised. I rubbed my face with my hands, trying to make sense of the whirlwind that had just happened. Taking in a deep breath, I went back to the bar where Mindy was, my body froze in place when I saw who she was talking to.
“Hey! There you are!” Mindy shouted over the music. She was sitting by a guy dressed in slacks and a dress shirt, similar to Mack’s business casual attire. “You won’t believe this, you know that bar we sometimes go to after work? He’s the owner!”When the guy turned to face me, I immediately recognized him. I put on my best smile, my insides fuming. Mack had come here with his best friend. “What a small world,” I said smoothly.“I’m Cody, and your name is?” His grin was broad and knowing as he held his hand out for me to shake. I took it, doing my best to keep my irritation hiddenMackHer eyes were wide when the door to the elevator opened. I hadn’t kissed her yet, I’d wait to touch her until we were in the room. I watched her swallow, then turn on her heels, her hips swaying perfectly in her shimmery dress. I followed her, keeping a short distance between us, unable to control myself from touching her exposed back with my fingertip while she opened the door.I was ready to savor her tonight, explore her body in a way I’d never gotten the chance to. She pushed the door open, and my hands found her hips, pushing her forward into the room. I peppered kisses along her neck while she led me inside. Her hands covered mine, pulling my arms around her until I was hugging her back to my chest.She sighed, then pulled away from me. “Take off your shoes and wait here.”My hands found my pockets as I watched her disappear into one of the suite bedrooms and close the door. I groaned inwardly as I watched her leave, cur
“I need to go to the bathroom,” Kelsey sighed, trailing her hands along my shoulders, goading me to let her go. I dropped my hands to her waist, guiding her off my now half stiff shaft.Laying back on the bed, resting my arms underneath my head, my body suddenly exhausted. I’d almost fallen asleep by the time she’d come back to bed. She didn’t say anything, but laid on her side, resting her head on her forearm.I opened one eye, waiting for her to snuggle up against me, and was slightly disappointed she’d put a t-shirt on. Was she not a cuddler? I suppose I’d never had the desire to cuddle, either, but something about Kelsey’s body being pressed against me had opened my mind to the idea.“Everything okay?” I asked, my voice gruff.She didn’t talk at first, and it caused me to sit up. “Did I do something wrong?”She shook her head. “No, it was fantastic, I’m not su
I’d never taken him in the way he had insinuated, and I was ready to rock his world with the simple flick of my tongue. Planting my hands on his hips for leverage, I dipped my head, pressing my eager lips to the tip of his heavy shaft. I grabbed it in my hand, lifting it to get a better angle. He hissed through his teeth, his eyes intently watching my every move.“Push on my head, and you’ll regret it,” I warned.He snatched a handful of my hair, gently tugging it while it curled in his hand. A soft breath released from my lips, loving his dominance. “I have faith you won’t need my direction.”I smirked at him, pumping his cock with my hand. “I’ve got an idea of what you might like.”Nodding, he pulled on my hair gently. “Let’s see if your intuition is on point.”Not wasting anytime, I swallowed him in, not bothering to tease him. This was my gift to him for putting up with my outl
I wedged open the glass door, peering inside. “I can’t, but I’d like to personally invite you to the shower in my condo. I have more faucets than this one.”She peered over her shoulder, and a mega-watt smile formed on her face.“Dude, let’s go,” Cody’s muffled voice called out from the doorframe of her room.“It was a lovely, impromptu evening, Ms. Neely,” I said properly, risking my arm getting wet so I could give her a pat on the butt.She turned completely, her arms covering her chest while she leaned to give me a kiss. “I look forward to more impromptu evenings, Mr. Craft.”“You can count on it.”Cody was unusually quiet during the ride to the airport. I didn’t mind, I was replaying the weekends activities. My feelings for Kelsey had been like whiplash the whole time. One minute I was pissed at her, frustrated that she’d
KelseyThe clicker on my mouse was sticking with each tap of my finger. My teeth ground after each press, frustrated that I’d put off ordering a new mouse.Why don’t you just use the touchpad? My very opinionated, egotistical, and obnoxiously beautiful boss had pointed out earlier in the week after watching me slam it against my desk for the umpteenth time. Mr. Craft always had a comment for everything, and especially liked to tease me about my “dead” technology.My phone rang, and I hastily answered, agitated for more reasons than just the clicker on my mouse being stubborn. “Kelsey Neely,” I answered, my voice higher than normal.“Let’s get out of here,” my best friend sang on the other line. Her office was one floor above mine, her job being the receptionist for Gary Sneed, the co-owner of Craft and Sneed Marketing. We’d worked here for two and a half years, and while I was eager to climb the
“Everything okay?” Timothy from accounting was standing in the lobby next to one of the recently hired interns, Cam. Ashley stormed to him, setting her purse on the high-top counter where the building receptionist normally sat. “I’ll give you one guess as to what’s wrong.”Timothy looked passed Cam and met my eyes. The side of my mouth quirked upward. “Craft rub you the wrong way?”“Sure wasn’t the right way,” she huffed, and I couldn’t keep from laughing. Craft was very good at doing both expressions, at least to me.Ashley rolled her eyes, but smiled. “I don’t want to talk about him anymore. Are people still going to Shamrock’s?”Timothy and Cam nodded. “Mindy is there now, saving us seats. We can all walk together.”*** “Cheers to another week, ladies and gentleman!” Jamie shouted over the loud music of the bar. We all held up our drinks in celebration. “And welcome, Cam, to the highly successful yet slightly dysfunctional Craft and Sneed family!”We all laughed, including Cam. H
He surrounded me now, both his knees on either side of mine, his arms caging my back to his chest. Our hearts were pounding rapidly against each other, the urgency for release becoming harder to control.Unable to contain the exquisite pleasure any longer, the dam to my insides broke, and my entire body shook with release, my lips uttering an euphoric chant while he pumped his seed inside of me.My stomach fell flat to the bed, Mack’s heavy body resting on top of me while his cock still twitched inside of me. He gently kissed behind my ear, then rolled, pulling me with him. Neither of us spoke until our racing hearts evened out to a sated thump.“Did I pass?” he asked, his once firm hand now tenderly stroking my hip.“Hmm?”“Did I rise to the occasion? Did I meet the challenge?”I smiled and rolled so I was facing him. “I suppose I can give you a passing grade.”He met my grin, his hand now brushing stray strands he’d pulled out of my ponytail in our throws of passion. “Were you real
I turned my attention to Gary, who was tapping a dry erase marker on a whiteboard, ready to begin. “Great job this month, Kelsey,” Gary smiled, waving for Kelsey to come toward us at the conclusion of the meeting. She was professional as ever, never missing a beat or stumbling over her words while she presented her information. I was unsure about handing over the organic soda campaign. After all, she was still getting her feet wet in the company, but she’d proven herself with the other clients she’d worked with since being a coordinator, and I became confident she’d rise to the occasion after discussing her ideas and marketing plan.She moved elegantly toward him. “Thanks, Mr. Sneed. I’ve really enjoyed the challenge.”“Kelsey, please call me Gary,” he said sincerely. “I’m glad you’re happy here. I hope to keep you around for as long as I can.”Mindy came beside Gary. “Don’t worry, Kelsey is obsessed with this place.” Mindy brought her attention to me. I was trying my best to avoid b
The telltale sound of his zipper sent a shiver down my back. He blew air through his nose, and I knew he was stroking himself. I wanted to spin around and help him, but he kept a firm hand on my hip, then skidded it to the front of my thigh, urging me to sit back on him. Both his arms stabilized me now, steadying me while I hovered over his shaft.The tip of his cock brushed against my clit and I shifted backward, engulfing his length between my folds. I found a rhythm that rubbed the sensitive bud perfectly.“That’s it baby, move how you like,” he murmured, keeping himself from driving into me, but encouraged the gyration of my hips with his palms.My hands were set on his desk, leaning as far forward as I could, giving me the leverage I needed to keep a steady pace.He groaned, palming my belly. I covered his hand, feeling a bond between the four of us. If I were out of the moment or trying to explain it to someone, they wouldn’t get it,
Seven Months LaterKelsey“Mrs. Craft, you’re glowing today!” Ms. Carmichael greeted, standing from her seat. She paced around her desk, taking me in from head to toe.I hadn’t been in the office in over a month due to the doctor’s orders. After our dash of a wedding with only a handful of people in attendance, bedrest was requested, and sitting around the apartment was causing me to go stir crazy.Ms. Carmichael crinkled her nose. “Does Mr. Craft know you’re coming to visit?”Holding up a container, I said, “No, I thought I’d bring him some lunch.” She chewed on her bottom lip, and I laughed. “Don’t worry, if he’s grumpy it’ll be geared towards me, not you.”She laughed, but the tension around her eyes proved she was timid toward calling him. I’d help with that. His eight months pregnant wife could interrupt his work.When I came in, the
MackThe day I had been planning for the past month was finally here, and although it didn’t go into motion until a month ago, I had imagined it happening since November. I’d dropped a pretty penny to make my vision become a reality, and with the help of Portia and my mother, Kelsey would be in awe and left speechless, and hopefully even more full of joy than she already was.I buttoned my light blue dress shirt while I stared at my sun kissed face in the mirror, still wondering if the past year had been a dream. It was on this day a year ago that I took the chance and closed the space between us in my office, opening a whole new world that neither of us expected to unravel. I was still just as hungry for her now as I was then, but now, I couldn’t live without her, and I was ready to take the final step to becoming fully committed.Kelsey came behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting his head between my shoulder blades. &ldquo
One Month LaterKelseyI inhaled the fresh salty air, basking in the warm sun I’d desperately longed for. Winter in Ohio was rough, and when Mack surprised me with tickets to a resort in the Florida Keys, I was ecstatic.My skin was smooth and hungry for the rays while I laid on the cozy outdoor lounger next to our private pool that overlooked the beach. Mack had jumped in the pool to cool off, and I was enjoying the view of his defined shoulder blades and biceps while he swam.I’d been exhausted the past three months, and found a new bundle of energy when he’d given me the airline ticket. I was going to take advantage of our alone time, and the pulse that awakened between my legs was going to make up for all the nights I’d fallen asleep before getting lost in him.Mack never complained, if anything, he was coddling me, and I was eager to take care of him, and soon. He climbed out of the pool, his forearms flexing alon
Small sized single showers weren’t intimidating to Mack Craft when he wanted sexy time together. You’d think I’d be gun shy when it came to shower sex considering I slipped and gauged my head the last time we messed around, but I was more than ready to have his hands on me. The close proximity made our time together all the more better.We crawled into bed after our thorough shower, Mack in sweats and me in one of his t-shirts, the heavy, Aztek designed quilt covering us both. Mack pulled me to his chest and tangled our legs together.He ran his fingers through my damn hair, taking turns between stroking and massaging. A softness was laced with his gaze, his brows relaxed as his eyes took me in. “Tell me about your day with my dad,” I asked him, wondering if the time he spent with him was partly why his temperament was easy.“It was eye-opening and much needed. I didn’t realize the reservations were so poverty stricken.&
She met my grin, and did as I asked, rolling to her side as I climbed off her, then continued unpacking.Kelsey must have been tired because her breathing had changed within minutes of closing her eyes. I loved watching her sleep. Something about her relaxed state was soothing and brought me comfort knowing she felt safe and cared for to sleep soundly.***Lunch with my mother came in what felt like the snap of my fingers, and I found myself sitting in my car giving myself a pep talk before joining her at her favorite restaurant. Normally we’d sit outside, but the weather was bitter cold and snow was still on the ground.“Don’t overthink this,” I murmured to myself, my hands sliding around the steering wheel. Taking another deep breath, I shut off the car and headed into the café.She was sitting at a table when I arrived, her back to me. Her dark hair was tied back into it’s perfect bun, her j
“Has Kelsey been hunting with you?” I asked as we sat on logs near the lake. Amos had started a fire and had butchered parts of the elk. I wasn’t expecting him to pull out cooking utensils and seasons from his backpack, prepared to roast whatever animal we’d come across for dinner.He took a long drag of his cigarette before answer. “No, she hasn’t. I wish I had taught her, but it’s not my people’s way. Hunting is meant for the man, not the woman. I know that’s a stereotype the world doesn’t like to hear, but it’s our culture, and if our people don’t like it, they don’t have to do it. We don’t hold our own kind hostage.”I rested my elbows on my knees. “You don’t like that she has a career and lives in the city, do you?”Amos kept his eyes on the flames, watching the piece of meat cook. “I wish she were closer to home. I’m glad she’s foun
I found myself getting into Talon’s basketball game. He was pretty athletic, and ran the court with assertiveness. I wasn’t surprised, the kid had a strong disposition, and leadership would be in his future if he kept it up.Carsyn sat on Kelsey’s lap for most of the game, talking her ear off until she gave him her phone to play with. I didn’t mind that he was chatty, he didn’t require answers from me or Amos, so we were able to focus on the game. Amos was more interested than I would have predicted, and even cheered for his boy. Simon was on the end of the bench as one of the assistant coaches, the one who made sure they were all hydrated and encouraged.“You’ll have fun,” Kelsey said while Simon mingled with some of the other parents just outside of the gym in the parking lot, and Amos gave Talon his fatherly recap of the basketball game. “My dad is a big teddy bear.”I touched her cheek. “I&rsq
“Sorry I passed out last night,” Kelsey said when I emerged from the bathroom. I’d woken up a few hours earlier, unable to fall back asleep, so I plugged in my computer and ran through some emails while she continued to sleep. As badly as I wanted to wake her for a shower, she needed her rest.“I was tired too,” I admitted. My eyes closed nearly as fast as hers did.I’d woken up when she had her first round of morning sickness, but didn’t want her to realize I’d heard her. I knew she felt awkward when I’d try to comfort her, and I also knew if I started to move around, she wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. She needed to rest more now that she was growing two babies.She stood from the bed and stretched, her hips showing when her arms rose into the air. She’d thrown on one of my white undershirts, and like normal, her nipples were poking against the thin fabric to say good morning. Reaching out
