Chapter Fourteen- What is Civility?

last update Last Updated: 2024-06-03 15:01:29

Virginia's POV

I could never be friends with someone who I think about as much as I do to you.

His words were an echo in my mind even in a state of unconsciousness. Of course, the second my eyes closed the words were then established behind actions we didn't take part in. Kisses we didn't share. A specific relinquishment of virtue I still painfully had intact. It was a cause to wake up a bit restless as I wondered what would have happened if I had said what was on the tip of my tongue or acted on the way my skin needed to touch his. It made me understand that although this may not be some grand romance that ends in a white dress or even a white picket fence, there were feelings aside from resentment. Just how deep it went, I didn't know. But I could be civil. Even if my mind, body, and the sensitive, and currently damp, valley between my thighs didn't seem to get the memo.

    Brooks' POV If I hadn't wound and pulled this very tie nearly every single day for the past decade then I would have tripped over my own feet at the sight awaiting me in the kitchen. It was rarely used up until a month ago and was now always beaming with life. If not from Landon doing school on the kitchen counter instead of being isolated in his room, then it was for Virginia trying to follow a new recipe. Most of them were either undercooked or overdone, most edible but not flavorful, and yet the way she was so proud of herself became a secret tolerance between my son and I. But this one smelled incredible and she was devoted enough to the ingredients inside the oven to keep from noticing how I stopped and stared at her. Because I could have had an entire condo filled with supermodels willing to give favors on their knees and I'd still prefer the sight of her nervously working over dinner for the sake of being domestic. "Did you forget how to tie it?" Landon'

    Virginia's POV Shit. Unable to sit still while awaiting a response from Brooks, I paced and fiddled with everything from my inner cheek to the ends of my hair. Realizing that Landon was completely out of his two backup inhalers and that Brooks had another one in his jacket pocket from the night before, I was desperate for the comfort of the albuterol. He was fine, actually better than, but I couldn't risk him having an attack and being without it on hand. Especially with the newfound 'civility' between Brooks and me. After a total of half an hour without a response and a call to Delaney, his assistant, only to be told she isn't an 'errand bitch', I managed to convince her to come sit at the condo while I went to Brooks myself. The supper club was a place I felt guilty even looking at let alone entering. There wasn't a woman without a drink in her hand, a dress a bit too tight, or a scowl on her face as I made my way inside. The men paid little att

    Brooks' POV I managed to spend the entire drive home from taking my fingers around her gloriously thick thigh as if to claim some sort of quiet ownership as we drove. I was even proud of myself for the fact my eyes stayed on the road, even if I closed them to focus on her scent I hoped engrained itself into the very fabric of the seat so I could have her next to me whenever she wasn't physically there. "Get out." It was more of a plea than a command. The worry came in knowing that I wouldn't touch or kiss her for the first time as if she was the virgin I knew she was. I wouldn't slowly glide my hand across her cheek and take time deepening a kiss until it made her breathless. I wouldn't tell her how beautiful she was or how long I've thought about this. I wouldn't be a gentleman and then walk her to the door afterward. After tonight, after the last few weeks, after seeing her meet my eyes without shame as I talked about exactly how m

    Virginia's POV It wasn't fair for men like Brooks Callahan to know how to kiss. Because he didn't just kiss, he consumed. His touch, along with his taste, lingered long after the kiss ended and with just one brush of my fingertips to my mouth and I was already transported back into that car as if we weren't interrupted. By the time my alarm sounded for the start of that next morning, my mind conjured more than enough scenarios. They always began the same with my orgasm pulling through and his face darkening with clear lust. Where he took me changed from the hood of the car to the backseat and even in his office as if we were following the storyline of being interrupted. But even if the journey may have differed, the destination was always the same, it left me giving my virtue to him. If we would have remained, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I would have. I still couldn't tell if I was grateful or disappointed that I hadn't. Coming down the stairs to bre

    Brooks' POV See you Soon. The text stared me down as I counted each grueling second closing in closer to eight o'clock. I considered asking her to wear those panties that plagued me for the past few weeks, knowing that throughout the night they would be soaked through because of me. Even if she didn't want me to touch her, I would give the little touches and teasing words that could have the same effect if the way she affected me was any indication. Instead, I remained patient but snippy to those around me, including a very frustrated Delaney. Virginia was a few seconds away from creaming her panties if not for her. That was why I'd given my assistant the runaround and tasked her with the tedious role of finding a reservation so last minute. Even using my name at many popular restaurants was met with obs

    Two Months Ago"I'll take her home!" Damien exclaimed as he slipped out from the rest Aimee had made against his chest. "It gives me the chance to learn all those embarrassing little stories about you, babe." He gave her a charming wink that if I didn't know him, may have even put the heat behind my cheeks. But knowing it was all a manipulative tactic to veil whatever he truly wanted, I glared when neither of them were looking. "I can take an Uber.""And pay the ridiculous fees for the city? Don't be silly, I'm going that way anyway." My heart twisted for a detail it didn't seem Aimee caught. He didn't ask where I lived and still knew where to go.He had been watching me. "I'll be back soon, Aimes." She blew a large kiss and gave me an even bigger smile and I didn't have it in my heart to tell her just who Damien was. After all, maybe he truly liked Aimee. How could you not? She was my perpetual girl crush most days, Kate Upton a close second.

    Brooks' POV It was only an hour's flight from the airport in D.C. to our touchdown in the Hamptons, but I refused to be enclosed with her for longer than what was absolutely necessary. That damn jasmine perfume still lingered in my car, even after two months, and having her strengthen it with her presence again only affected my reservations against her. If not for the way her phone lit up and she hid it away with shame as we both knew who was on the other end, it was a painful but necessary reminder that she was no different than Camille. Even with reminders and reservations, precautions to keep a distance, it was impossible to control everything around her. Anger coming out more often than not. "You need to shut off your phone." I explained with venom in my order. "I was just turning it-"

For years she tried to give me a 'makeover' of the tennis skirts and sweater vests as she said it fit my 'vibe', but I was more comfortable in what had the cheapest price tag. "As long as you aren't dressing up for him..." She eyed me with a friendly skepticism. "I'm dressing up so they let me in." We both shared a chuckle before I pulled a dress for her to view. It was only one of two dresses I owned, this one was cut just above my knees by a faded pea green skirt with an off-white square neckline made up of a woven fabric that made it look almost h

    Brooks' POV I could see the weak resemblance now. Only when looking between them could you see the true similarities. The shape of the eyes, the bend of the cupid's bow, and the way either of them could lift a brow before they would disagree with you. But right now for sharing blood, Virginia almost seemed stunned to see the woman. I couldn't blame her but it didn't beg the question why she was here and how in the hell she was my client. "I just want five goddamn minutes!" She barked and after this latest outburst, Virginia lowered the steps and stood across her mom. She studied her and I realized it must have been because she was sober. There was evidence of use from the sallow skin and sunken eyes but it was clear she hadn't used anything hard for quite some time. "D

    Virginia's POVThere's something I've noticed about my burgeoning sexuality. The more I experience, the more I want. Not in a consuming way like a genuine addiction, but in the way that I trust my partner enough to explore every avenue that fascinates us both. It shows in the silent moments between us with those loaded smiles and quiet conversations behind our eyes. It is complete trust and admiration between two people with formerly broken perceptions of desire and misguided affection. I think we were fixing each other more and more with every little touch and every little moment. "Good morning..." He almost purred against my neck as Landon was turned around watching television as I packed his lunch for the day. Whatever food item I was on has become forgotten to the lips suddenly on my skin as it took everything I had not to moan to the warmth. "Do you think it's too early to convince you to sleep in my bed?" I chuckled and he playfully bit me. "I'm

Watching her fingers begin to peel apart my belt from its buckle, I could already feel precum leak from my head to imagine her taking me down past those innocent lips nobody knew pleasure from before. As she pulled the leather slowly towards her until it slid through the final loop, I had to will my hips to remain as still as possible to keep from frightening her with my gnawing desperation. "Virginia?" I rasped, my confidence slipping at the circumstances no longer being only a fantasy. She answered by looking up at me with wondrous eyes I was about to make water if she'd let me and I almost had to force her back to her feet just to keep a train of thought. "This is a first for

The details were always more for entertainment than a method of teaching, which left me searching "tips and tricks" on my phone on and off throughout the day. But each time there had been the same comments that all circled back to communication. So that was where I started. But with the way he was looking at me, I wish I wouldn't have said anything. "Brooks?" I finally managed as he seemed frozen in time by my comment. I intended for it to

"Do you want to talk about it?" "No!" He shouted beneath the muffling of his comforter. I sat at the foot of the bed and tried to apply comfort by my hand on his back and he moved away from me, almost sandwiching himself between the mattress and the wall. "I didn't know you had a crush on Virginia, Landon." "I love her!" I didn't blame him. She had a way of infecting your heart, the darker and more abandoned and the more she seemed to find a home there. Slowly fixing the fissures until all that was left was the warmth applied to f

As it seemed like an excess for what I theorized would be a quick preparation, I used Google to learn it was a pasta dish guaranteed to have a bit of a kick to it. I was excited to be beside him to help achieve the final result while one detail made me nibble at my already uneven nails for his reaction.The picture I'd sent him earlier in the day was from bravery that faded the second our conversation ended. After slipping on a new pair of panties, I carried on with my chores as Landon was due home later tonight. Now, I was waiting for the front door to come open with him discovering I disobeyed him. I was curious what he would do to punish me-if he was into that sort of thing.When he came through the door

"I can't control myself around you-" I began, her face shifting from nervousness to a subtle confidence that blossomed her beauty into something like a goddess. "Then don't." Goddamn, this woman. I looked over her shoulder and to the four poster bed before imagining what would transpire. A quick shedding of clothes. Heavy petting. French kisses until breathless. Pulling her thighs apart and then those lower lips until I had her soaking my tongue one more time. Maybe two. When wet, I'd shove my angry cock inside of her with merc

    Virginia's POV I expected an argument, not this. Not the feeling of his lips gently guiding mine apart until he could slip his tongue into a slow coaxing of my own. The first kiss had been enough to surprise me but this one was overwhelming. All because it was quietly demanding in a way his hands took stock in my hips until pushing me against the glass, his knee rose to the apex between my legs, and his mouth was a slow assurance from my mouth to my jaw, and gradual to my neck. The smirk against my skin made me moan enough to motivate him further, and before I could remember why I was mad or the fact I was leaving, he was lifting me against the glass until I was reliant on his strength. I gasped to the surprise lift and he grinned up at me. "I'll ne

But hearing the end come from her lips took the ability to breathe completely away from me. Although it had only been approximately three months, I couldn't imagine her no longer a part of our routine. The mere idea of her no longer sitting at our breakfast table with burnt bacon and undercooked pancakes resituated my heart deep into my gut to such a depth that it weighed there with nausea. Thinking of her no longer being the first or last face Landon and I saw before the end of our day and beginning the next cinched my chest in on itself as if being pulled by invisible stri
