Climbing onto the bed next to her, Blake lay and opened his arms, getting up Melissa grabbed the remote and the wine, when all of a sudden the door to the bedroom opened. In walked Sully, and Storm, Ebony was nowhere to be seen. Sully climbed up onto the big bed, lying horizontally across the bottom, letting out a small “oof” he fell asleep, Storm however wanted to sleep with his humans, jumping onto the bed next to a cuddling Melissa and Blake, he put his paws and head on her thigh, Melissa and Blake decided what movie to watch “Die Hard” came the response from Melissa, Blake looked at her shocked.

Shrugging she said “What? I like all sorts of movies.” And put Die Hard on. As they were watching Bruce Willis in probably his greatest role ever according to Blake, Storm slowly crept further over Melissa so his front half was lying on Blake and his back half on Melissa, Storm then proceeded to turn over, lying on his back, all four feet in the air, tongue hanging out the side of his mouth and snoring.

Melissa started to shake with laughter “We’ve been Stormed.” She said pointing at the daft German Shepard snoring away. Blake sat up giving Storms exposed stomach a scratch, making his back leg twitch.

Blake asked “Should we order in? Or did you want me to go collect?” Melissa replied “Let’s order in.” Pulling up a delivery website on her phone.

After deciding on 2 Pizzas with drinks, they went back to Die Hard.

Just as the movie was nearing its end Storm jumped off the bed and ran out of the door, and down the stairs to the front door.

There stood the pizza delivery guy. Grabbing the pizzas and drinks bag and shutting and locking the door, Melissa and Storm raced upstairs. As Melissa entered the bedroom, she saw Blake lying on the bed next to Sully, who had now moved into the spot Melissa had vacated, Blake had his hand resting on the large dog, “You traitor” Melissa said.

Blake gave her a questioning look, “Sully, you’re the most traitorous dog in the world. It’s me you’re supposed to love.” She put on a mock pout, Blake looked at Melissa and realised how he liked this side of her too.

“Sully off!” Melissa said firmly. Sully as obedient as ever, moved off the bed and went to lay on the floor with a now sulking Storm. He looked longingly at the pizza boxes hoping like when his mistress was home before he would get a slice or two.

Lying the two huge pizza boxes on the bed with the bag, Melissa opened them cringing slightly at Blake’s choice of Ham and pineapple.

“Pineapple does not go on pizza.” Melissa said the clear distaste in her voice.

“It’s sooooo good.” Blake responded wafting a large slice of the monstrosity under her nose

“Bite me.” Melissa said laughing, Blake looked at her, “Ok.” He said.

Starring into his eyes Melissa gulped heavily. She could feel the full weight of his gaze on her. She had frozen, a slice of meat and pepper pizza with a bite taken out of it half way to her lips. Blake continued eating not noticing Melissa’s internal struggle.

Taking a small bite of pizza Melissa struggled internally, she wanted Blake, but her lack of inexperience meant she didn’t know how, sure she’d given oral sex before, she even had toys, but had never used them. It’s not like she didn’t know how, she just didn’t want her first time to be with a lump of latex.

Blake grabbed a napkin out of the drinks bag, opening a can of Coke, he nearly drained it in one swallow, Melissa watched every movement he made. Her virginity hanging around her neck like a heavy weight.

“You finished?” He asked “Yes.” Responded a nodding Melissa, Blake placed the pizza boxes on the floor of the bedroom, not noticing a stealthy Storm sneaking towards them.

“Let’s put another movie on.” Blake responded

“Ok. How about 50, Shades of Grey?” Melissa asked hoping that Blake would get the message.

Blake turned towards her and raised an eyebrow. “You sure?”

“Yes. Very sure.” Was the response that came back

    Blake leaned over and kissed Melissa, it started out as a simple chaste kiss, but quickly grew into a battle of dominance.Stopping for a bit Blake stands up and opens the bedroom door “Storm, Sully out.” Both dogs just look at him never moving. Exasperated Blake runs a hand through his hair, laughing quietly Melissa said in a firm voice but never moving off the bed “Sully, Storm out.” The two dogs got up, giving one last puppy dog eyed look to Melissa they walked straight out of the room, Blake closes the door behind them.Stalking back to the bed, Blake, cups Melissa’s face and kisses her again, deeply, the sort of kiss that makes you loose your breath, pulling away slightly, Melissa’s face was flushed pink. “Blake I....” she said “I’m...” Blake put his hand on top of hers, “Breathe, take your time.” He said gently.“I’ve never had sex before.” Melissa blurted out, clearly embarrassed that she had got to the age of 25 without ever having sex.Blake face became gentle “

    Waking later Melissa looked over at the clock and saw it was 1:30 am, Blake was snoring slightly, his arm draped possessively across her waist, turning slightly, Blake’s arm tightened to stop her leaving.As his bicep relaxed she wriggled out from under his arm, she nipped to the en-suite, splashing water on her face, she looked in the mirror, expecting to see someone different staring back at her. She didn’t. She still looked the same albeit with with messed up hair.As she reentered the bedroom, Blake was sitting up against the headboard and spoke “I woke up and you were gone.” He pouted slightly Melissa saw this thinking how adorable he looked in the moonlight. And moved towards him, “Oh Blake, I needed the bathroom.”Blake looked at he mischievously “Well I’m sad now. I need you to make it up to me.” He said with a twinkle in his eye.Melissa kissed him, he was taken by surprise but only for a second as he kissed her back. He hadn’t expected her to be so forthcoming.

    Melissa opened her eyes and looked at the clock the red numbers flashed 6:00. Melissa felt something nudging into her lower back. Turning over she saw it was Blake’s cock. At the same time as she turned over his eyes were open.“Good morning beautiful.” Blake said as he propped his head up on his hand. Leaning in for a little kiss, Melissa blinked away the last bit of sleep from her eyes.“Good Morning, handsome.” Melissa said in response. Lifting her head in to kiss him.“Were you watching me sleep?” Melissa asked.“What can I say, you look beautiful when you’re sleeping.” Blake murmured into the curve of her neck.Giving her a long lazy kiss, Melissa returned it. “Are you okay? Not too sore?” He asked worried that his length and girth had hurt her.Melissa was touched at the concern, “No I’m okay.”Blake had a mischievous look on his face “Come with me.” He said getting off the bed and pulling Melissa up by the hand.

    Grabbing his phone his expression turns black.“Yeah. This is he. Ok. Ok. Give me about an hour. Call the plumber. Tell them I’ll be there at 8:00. Ok. Bye.” Running his hand through his wet hair, Blake threw the phone on the bed, “Shit. I have to go deal with an emergency at work. The fire department have been called to find my bar flooded from a broken water pipe. I wanted to spend all day in bed.” Blake said sadness in his voice.“It’s okay Blake you have to go deal with it. Melissa said as Blake gathered up his clothes, pulling them on.Blake couldn’t understand what was wrong with him, usually he had one date, slept with the girl then left. He NEVER stayed overnight, he NEVER wanted to spend all day having lazy sex in bed like he did right now, this wasn’t what HE did, this was what Brock did.Pulling on his shirt and jeans, he looked at Melissa drying her hair, “Listen baby, I’m sorry.” As he pulled on his shoes, the brown leather shining, he walked over and droppe

The boots hugged her calves. It was warm and sexy all rolled into one.

Or even seeing her again?” Brock asked folding his arms across his chest.Blake yelled at his older brother “I tried. I lost her personal cell number when my phone slipped out of my pocket at the bar when it flooded, then I brought another one with a new number.

    LATER THAT EVENING.“Dinners ready.” Blake called to Melissa who had had a nap and a shower. Walking down the stairs with damp hair falling around her shoulders and her face Melissa could smell the scent of baked trout, her mouth salivating at the thought.An hour later with full stomachs Blake and Melissa retired to the couch with a full bottle of Malbec both slightly tipsy.“So I gotta know.” Blake considered for a minute asking Melissa what she saw in Brock. But quickly changed her mind.“What was young Melissa like? Party girl? Nerd? Or were you miss Popular?” He smiled as he said this.“I was very studious, but I wasn’t a nerd, I wasn’t popular either.” Melissa made a face like she was remembering a bad incident. “I was just normal. My turn now.” Melissa squealed with glee “What was Blake like as a teen?”“I was

    THE NEXT DAY.“I’m sorry baby. I forgot I’m supposed to photographing the governor and his family. It’s supposed to be an all day event. Until about 10pm.” Brock said guiltily.“What’s the point in being here if I’m going to be alone?” Melissa asked trying her best not to sound whiny.“I’ve spoken to Blake. He will take care of you. I trust him to keep you safe. I trust him with my life. He’s going fishing, and you can go with him.” Brock said plainly.“Fishing? I wouldn’t know where to start.” Melissa said as Brock got out of the en-suite.“Well bows a great time to learn. Listen Blake’s taken time off and closed his bar so I can work and so that one of us can always be with you.” Brock explained gently.Melissa pouted for a brief moment before realising he was right.

    Melissa stood up getting ready to leave. “There’s really no talking to you. I came here in good faith to make you aware of what was happening as you don’t care.” Blake ran and grabbed her hand pulling her into his chest causing them both to fall on the floor.Blake looked into her eyes as Melissa lay on his chest. Putting his hand on her cheek a very loving and caring gesture he moved his head up towards hers and kissed her again, this time though she brought her knee up between his legs connecting with his genitals.Blake howled in pain. Sucking at his teeth he howls “Again?” Melissa extracts herself from the floor, and runs to the door.The hot sting of tears in her eyes. She fiddles with the lock as she hears Blake get up.She ran down the stairs, her heeled boots clump clumping as she went.She could hear the pit pat of Blake’s feet as he chases her. “Melissa, honey w

    A FEW DAYS LATER“This is soooo relaxing.” Melissa crooned as the masseuse rubbed oil into her back.At the same moment Brock’s phone rang. Adjusting his towel around his waist he got up and took the phone call into the hallway. Melissa allowed herself to think back on the previous days events. “Babe? Babe? Come on wake up.” Melissa shook Brock’s shoulder. Opening a bleary eye Brock looked at Melissa. She was showered and dressed. Wearing black skinny jeans, and a red cashmere sweater, her hair was tied up in a high ponytail and she had make up on. Brock jumped out of bed and in the shower. Showering and dressing in record time he grabbed the keys to the Porsche and they went to the car. Brock snapped his belt in the drivers side, and started the engine, pulling out of the parking lot, before driving off to his and Blake’s apartment. “So you sure you want to do this alone?” Brock asked.

    After a little while the doorbell went getting up off the couch Brock got up and walked over to the door. Melissa sat on the couch, her head hanging and tears falling down onto her lap. Gritting his teeth knowing he feels helpless to stop this Brock opens the door. “Mr Milligan?” The detective asks. “Yes. Come in. Miss Hartford is in the living room.” He steps to the side and in the detective walks past him, taking a seat on the opposite couch to Melissa. Shutting the door Brock follows him and sits next to Melissa taking her hand that’s now in her lap. “Can you take me through tonight’s events?” He asks. Melissa nods and starts to recall everything that has happened, including the phone call, the detective writes everything in a notebook. “Ok. I’m going to bag all the stuff and take it to the forensics.” Sliding on a pair of latex gloves, he disappeared into the bedroom. After a few minutes,

    Grabbing the phone Brock could see that this has pushed Melissa over the edge. He grabbed the detectives card and typed in the number. The voice came out down the end of the phone as if he’d just been woken up “Yeah?” “Hi it’s Brock Milligan, I don’t know if you remember the break in a Melissa Hartford’s place.” Brock said into the phone. “Yeah. I remember. What of it?” The voice said no longer full of sleep. “There’s been a development.” Brock said putting his arm around a now shivering Melissa and guiding her into the living room. “On my way.” The detective said before hanging up. Brock pressed the red button to cancel the call. And sat Melissa down next to him on the couch. “Baby, you okay?” He asked worried that this would be a tipping point for Melissa, knowing that even the strongest of women would find it difficult to cope, with everything that happened. “Y-yeah.” She said haltin

    Melissa awoke to bright sunlight streaming through the glass windows. The warmth felt nice on her skin. Rolling onto her side she opened a sleepy eye, she had a sudden feeling of dread, as she saw a tie that was not Brock’s, and a memory of last night came flooding back, Chris, she remembered the way his hands felt on her body, and the way he felt inside her, for a brief second she smiled then she felt an arm drape across her. That feeling of guilt gnawed away at her insides. She’d cheated on Brock. A single tear ran down her face as she realised this fact. She was in her own world thinking of what to say to Brock how to redeem her relationship when a voice, thick and scratchy from having just woken up, startled her. “Good morning babygirl. Not too stiff I hope.” The voice came from behind. She immediately turned over, and was met with Brock’s smiling face, an eighth of an inch of stubble, and very messy hair. Bro
