The party began winding down a little past midnight. Jessy and Samson had already retired upstairs to tuck the kids in, while Ryan and Elaine gossiped in low tones as they shuffled their feet on the dance floor. Everyone was exhausted but happy, and while I observed things from my position beside the bar counter, I realized that for the first time in years I was enjoying this, and it was all thanks to the lovely woman whispering in my best friend’s ear at the moment.
“Well, this is sickening,” Manny snorted, no doubt following my gaze to the dance floor. “I haven’t seen you look so smitten over a woman before. And it’s… quite odd.”
I turned to him with a glare. “Shut up.”
He nudged my side. “Can’t blame you, man. She’s lovely.”
I shrugged. “Tell me something I don’t know.”
We both lapsed into silence once again, watching her. “It must be a weird feeling for you, right? I mean, falling in love with someone wholeheartedly for the first time.”
“Yeah,” I nodded without looking his way. “I’m so sure that she’s the one. Ever since we met at that club. I’m happy our paths crossed again.”
“How charming,” he snickered.
Manny might be trying to get on my nerves, but I was relieved that he knew exactly how I felt toward Elaine. He was obsessed with his wife; Sara and they even had a kid together. “How’s Andres,” I asked. “Still giving you trouble?”
“Ugh, the little devil,” he sighed, dragging a wary hand down his face. “He’s more stubborn than ever. Sara and I are considering whether to send him off to Ottawa to stay with his aunt for a bit. She has two children his age, and she’s very strict.”
“Hmm. Well, how are you going to break the news to him?”
“We told him that Aunt Sally wanted him over for a vacation, and he’s beyond excited. The plan is for Sara to fly over with him, and while he’s still asleep, take the first available plane back home to New York. We’re traveling to Chicago for a week, to sort ourselves out and relieve the stress.”
“Poor you,” I chuckled while shaking my head.
“Wait till you have a kid one day, mate. Then you’ll understand better. Can’t you see how humbled Samson has become all because of his children? I swear, those little sweethearts are superhumans. So energetic.”
I just nodded along, even though I couldn’t relate. Well, the possibility of children was very much valid. I’d already let Elaine know that I wanted three. A sweet little boy, and two angelic girls.
Elaine turned to signal me over, her broad smile beautiful and infectious. I downed the drink in my glass, my eyes still fixed on her face as I made my way over, taking her in my arms. With her head resting on my chest and her arms around my neck, we glided across the living room to a slow tune, encased in our special bubble. She looked up at one point with tears in her eyes and kissed my lips softly. “I can’t take you enough for making me a part of this,” her voice cracked. “It has been such an amazing night. I don’t even know how to describe what I’m feeling at the moment, but I know that I’m more than happy.”
Brushing my thumb over her lips, I husked. “I’m glad you are. You deserve every happiness in the world.”
She beamed, adoration flickering in her eyes. “Your father doesn’t like me.”
“Pay him no mind,” I said quickly. “He’s always been like that. Don’t let his actions get to you.”
“He was mean to Jessy as well. But Samson was there to intervene,” she smiled hopefully. “My father is like that as well. Perhaps even worse, so I’m used to it already. I love the bond between Jessy and Samson. It’s so pure.”
“Just like ours?” I queried, twirling her around.
She giggled. “Yes. It’s so rare to see couples so crazy in love with each other these days. Strained relationships in marriages are the order of the day.”
I couldn’t agree more. “They’ve been lovers since their high school days, so that’s why?”
Her eyes widened. “Really?”
“Yeah,” I affirmed. “And just like us, they lost contact for so many years until Samson met her when she was working as a waitress in a cafe. It was such a nostalgic reunion, as he likes to put it.”
“That’s so romantic. I’m so happy for them. It’s clear they were meant to be.”
“They’ve got one of the most incredible love stories. They’ve been through thick and thin. Strong during bad times and vulnerable during happy times. I first thought that their bond will be fractured once they had kids like I’d seen it happen in the movies, but the children made them fall in love even more. It’s inspirational.”
She fluttered her lashes adoringly. “Our love story is quite incredible too. A lonely girl in a club and a sexy, mysterious man involved in a surprise one-night stand.”
I grinned. “We should recreate our destined meeting again someday, but for now…” I trailed off, capturing her lips. “I’m dying to fuck you hard against the bathroom wall.”
“That’s so hot… and uncomfortable,” she whispered against my lips, her hands jerky, itching to undo my buttons.
“Not now, Cher,” I groaned, my breath hot against her ear as I tugged at her earlobe with my tongue. “Shower sex is uncomfortable? How come you never told me before?”
“You seem to have a kink for it.”
I scoffed. “Nonsense. The bed will be better then, I guess.”
“I don’t mind the shower,” we continued to sway to the music. “When you fuck me slowly with the water pouring all over us, it feels like heaven. I think we should do that tonight. What do you say?” she licked her lips.
Fuck. I couldn’t get enough of her. I pushed my hips forward, pressing my hard-on through her slit, against her moist entrance. Damn. She was so wet already.
“Max,” she sucked in a breath, eyes shiny with lust. “I-I need you deep in me. Now. Just take me right here,”
I raised a brow, turning to scan the crowd once more. I thought better of it. They would be scandalized if they witnessed the dirty things, I wanted to do to this beautiful body tonight.
She yelped as I carried her up, bridal style, the crowd parting quietly as I walked past, toward the door. “No, Cherry. We don’t need an audience.”
–
Standing at the end of the bed, I watched the woman on the bed intently, my cock straining harder against my pants at the sight of her beautiful, naked body. She’d requested that I turned off the lights, and now, only a ray of moonlight filtering through the window illuminated the both of us.
“Now, Max,” she whispered raspily, arousal spiking in her veins as she waited for me to take off my suit impatiently. I’d offered to undress her first, waiting to do it all night. I loosened my tie and undid my buttons one by one, then slid off my pants, my cock springing free.
Fuck. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the sight of the amount of precum leaking from my cockhead. I’d never been so hard, so hot for one particular woman in my entire life. It was all a new, thrilling experience.
Dropping to my knees at the side of the bed, I opened her legs and spread her moist, pink flesh in front of me, inhaling deeply in satisfaction. I needed to worship this body. To press kisses on every inch of it for making me feel this way.
Unable to wait any longer, I slid a finger in cautiously, squeezing my eyes shut as she clenched around me, my cock becoming painfully harder.
“Max,” she moaned, and I fluttered my eyes back open. We both stare at each other, and I could tell that she felt the exact same way.
“Yeah, baby. I know. It’s insane.”
I leaned down and inhaled one more, then dart my tongue out for a taste. A taste of bliss, one that only she could provide. Only she possessed.
I licked deeply, sucking aggressively. She gripped the sheets behind her head, bucking her hips up to my face and taking my tongue in deeper. I clamped my arms around her upper thighs to steady her and take her harder.
Heaven.
