All or Nothing (10 page)

‘Because it is where I wish to be Abi.  I
told you I want to be with you’ he murmurs seriously.

‘I don’t know if I can be with all that is
going on’ I glance at him seriously and he places his plate on the table in
front of us.

‘Give us a chance, how do you know if you
don’t give us a try? We are good together’ he reminds me.

‘I am not doubting us I was there in Vegas
I know how good we were’ I pause, ‘Amber and the baby however I don’t know
whether I can cope with that’

He runs his hands over his face tiredly, ‘I
know it is a mess Abi’ he sighs.

‘Why would she lie about the baby being
yours if you only spent a couple of nights together?’ I query before I realize
what I have said and laugh once shaking my head.

‘It wasn’t a fraction of us Abi’ he reassures
me ‘she is an opportunist’ he utters distastefully.

‘What do you mean, what does she hope to
gain?’

He frowns as he searches my face before
answering, ‘because I am worth a lot of money Abi, she is after my money’

This is news to me and I regard Grant with
a frown, ‘I thought you owned a few properties’

He laughs sarcastically, ‘quite a few Abi’

‘Whatever’ I sigh ‘I am not interested’

‘I know which is what is special about you
Abi’

I place my plate on the table and reach for
my wine, ‘I just don’t know Grant’

‘If it was just me standing here requesting
a chance would you say yes?’ he enquires his eyes pleading with me.

‘Yes’ I stare down at my hands.

‘Here I am Abi’ he whispers ‘let us take
one step at a time’ he encourages.

I move my eyes to his searching, can I do
this?  Can I ignore all the drama that is before us?  My insides are fluttering
and my breathing is fast as I see my feelings reflected in Grants eyes, he is
holding his breath as his eyes search for an answer.

‘Ok’ I whisper ‘but I can make no promises
for later’ meaning when the baby arrives, I realize I am setting myself up for
more hurt but I cannot ignore the excitement from within at the prospect of
prolonging our affair for potentially a few months more.

He exhales a breath before pulling me into
his arms inhaling my scent, ‘that’s all I can possibly ask at this point in
time Abi’ I nuzzle his neck as the familiar scents tantalize my senses.

He kisses my hair squeezing me tightly to
him, ‘thank you Abi’

‘I am still not certain Grant’ I mumble
into his neck.

‘I know and I cannot blame you’ we sit just
holding each other for what seems like an age as I absorb the sweet sensations
running through my body at the contact. ‘I am going to go’ he whispers into my
hair.

‘What?’ I frown up confusion radiating from
my eyes.

‘I don’t want you to feel it is all about
the sex Abi.  We have a date tomorrow night, I will collect you at seven’ he
grins at my shocked face ‘there is nothing I would enjoy more than to take you
to bed right now and it is taking all my inner strength not to.  Wear something
hot!’ he instructs as he stands and holds out his hand for me to take.  He
grabs his jacket and walks to the door pulling me into his embrace, I snake my
arms around his waist as my insides tingle at the contact.

He tips my chin, ‘goodnight’ and he leans
in to gently kiss my lips, I move my hand and pull his head down into me as I
deepen the kiss my tongue finding his as we tangle, I groan and he follows his
hand pushing my backside against his growing erection.  My sex is aching with
need as I grind against his groin.

‘Hmmm Grant’ I croak as he nibbles my neck.

‘Stop me Abi’ he demands his hand moving
under my t-shirt and upwards to pinch my nipple.

‘Ahhhhh’ I moan as his tongue thrusts once
again against mine swirling and stroking, his other hand moves down my sweats
and over my backside to my moist core, I am panting against his mouth, ‘you
can’t leave me like this’ I groan as he strokes my sex from behind whilst his
hand is stroking my breast.

‘Fuck it!’ he releases me and leads me to
my bedroom where he pushes me down and pulls off my sweats, he leans down and
kisses from my knee up to my pulsing core spreading my legs as far as they can
possibly go, ‘god I love how responsive you are to me Abi’ he groans as places
small nips around my core, ‘you are so wet’

‘Grant’ I call panting and he flicks his
tongue over my clitoris sending delicious sparks of pleasure through me ‘ahhh’
I call ‘Grant more’ I demand and he chuckles ‘forever insatiable Abi’ before he
thrusts his fingers inside me simultaneously as he sucks my throbbing clitoris. 
I cry out as my whole body convulses with the intensity of my orgasm over and
over until I lay there spent my core contracting. 

‘Fucking hell Abi’ Grant croaks and steps
out of his trousers and releases his steel hard erection.  He places it at my
entrance and holds my hips up his tense face sparking with lust as he thrusts
inside me.

‘God’ he calls as he stills absorbing the
sensation before he moves slowly circling my insides,  I am still recovering
from my orgasm as I feel my insides stir,  I pull my t-shirt off leaving me
naked as I meet Grant’s thrust my nipples tightening with need as he gazes at
them.

‘Touch them’ he demands moving around and
around inside me his face flushed, I move my hands to my breasts stroking them
my eyes never leaving his, I pinch the nipples and feel my insides clench his
solid shaft, ‘god Abi’ he whispers as I can sense he is struggling to hold it
together, ‘more’ he insists and I throw my head back as I pinch and stroke my
breasts panting against the waves that are building inside me.

‘I am going to come’ I call as he thrusts
harder and harder and we ride the waves together calling out as he pumps into
me.  Grant moves forward panting as he remains inside me attempting to regain
his breath.

‘You are something else’ he pants kissing
my neck as I wrap my arms and legs around him bringing him into me ‘I can’t get
enough of you’ he leans down and sucks my nipple sending a shot of desire
through me causing me to moan, he chuckles ‘seriously Abi you are going to kill
me here’ I smile up at him admiring his bed hair and flushed face, his
sparkling eyes and his soft lips.

‘Stay’ I demand ‘I have plans’

‘This isn’t what I had planned’ he frowns
‘I want to woo you Abi’

‘That ship has sailed, I want you in my bed
for however long it…’ I stop myself and his eyes darken,

‘Abi, I thought we were going to try’ he kisses
my face his eyes anxious.

‘We are’ I insist ‘stay please’ I clench my
pelvic muscles against his softening erection persuading him whilst I send a
grin his way.

‘All or nothing Abi’ he muses.

‘What do you mean?’

‘I need to know you are in this’ he murmurs
seriously.

‘I cannot say how things will turn
out….later on because neither of us know what is going to happen and how we are
going to feel about events that are before us.  Let us just enjoy this for
however long it lasts, there are no guarantees in life’

He regards me ‘I am not going to be without
you Abi no matter what’ he informs me seriously.

‘Well I am here now’ I inform him
seductively ‘what do you suggest we do?’

‘I have a few ideas’ he murmurs biting my
neck moving down to my breasts.

I awake and stretch Grant’s head is resting
on my stomach and I push my hand through his hair, ‘you awake’ I whisper.

‘Hmmmm, no more woman I am not a machine’
he grumbles playfully and I giggle.

‘You are worse than me’ I insist.

‘Erm’ he lifts his head to face me ‘I don’t
think so sweetheart’ he raises a heavy eyebrow ‘good job Bella and Mike wasn’t
here all the noise you were making’

‘I think they are back by the way’ I smile
‘morning’

‘Morning back to you’ he crawls up my body
and kisses my chin.

‘Hmmmm I like the stubble’ I croak ‘very
much’

‘I remember the very same conversation in
Vegas resulting in us nearly missing our flight’ he chuckles ‘but I am not
going there if there are people within earshot madam’ he flips onto his back
and stretches glancing at the clock, ‘do you know it is 10.35am?’ he frowns ‘I
have work’

‘On a Saturday?’ I enquire.

‘Definitely on a Saturday’ he leans over
and kisses me briefly before jumping up before I grab him.

‘Feel free to shower’ I mumble snuggling
back up in the warm duvet ‘I would offer to join you but I don’t think we would
fit in our tiny cubicle’

‘Ok I won’t be a moment’ he pulls on his
trousers and walks through to the bathroom, I move my achy body out of the bed
and wrap my robe around me entering the kitchen.  I put a pot of coffee on and
stretch again, wow what a night.  I move into the living area to find Bella on
her laptop, ‘well hi’ she grins ‘how did it go or do I need to ask?’

I grin back ‘early days’ I mutter
embarrassed and she giggles.

‘Abigail Stephens you look well and truly
fucked’

‘Bella Andrews such crudeness at this hour
of the morning!’ I feign a horrified expression ‘you want coffee or you got
some?’

‘No I am fine’ she murmurs continuing with
her work.

I bring in two cups of coffee and place
them on the table, Grant appears all showered and fresh ‘morning’ he addresses
Bella who glances up and whistles.

‘Morning Grant, you are a sight for sore
eyes.  If it wasn’t for the fact that I already have an extremely sexy man I
would be swooning at this moment’ she teases and Grant grins over to her.

He sits at the small bistro table that sits
in the corner of our small living area and drops a kiss on my head, ‘I see what
you mean about the shower’ he whispers for my ears only and I grin,

‘I am sure there is a way mind’ I inform
him and he shakes his head in amusement ‘do you want some toast or anything?’

‘No, I must dash I will grab something on
my travels’ he insists gulping a mouthful of coffee and standing, ‘seven o
clock missy’ he reminds me ‘see you soon Bella’ he calls and she waves,

‘Bye Grant’

I walk him to the door and he leans down
eyeing me beforehand, ‘hands to yourself please or I will never get out’ before
kissing me too briefly, ‘thank you yet another glorious night my Vegas girl’
and he is gone.

I drift back into the living area and flop
on the sofa, Bella places her laptop to the side and grins at me, ‘so tell me
all’

I inform her of what is happening, I am not
sure whether she already knows or not but I decide to be totally honest.

She blows out a breath ‘I don’t know if I
could do it’ she shakes her head ‘there are going to be stressful times Abi he
is right you are either in or out, you cannot stamp your feet every time
something doesn’t go your way.  He is going to require your support your
feelings may have to be put aside’

‘I do not stamp my feet’ I gasp at her
words.

‘Well maybe not stamp your feet but when
you aren’t happy with something you shut down and detach, you always have’

‘Do I?’ I regard Bella

‘Yes. So this girl what first opinion did
you form of her?’

‘Not a good one and that was before she yelled
in my face’

‘I do not know much about Grant only what
Mike has informed me but from what I gather he has very uncharacteristically
fallen hook, line and sinker.  If you aren’t certain about him Abi leave it
that is my honest opinion there is going to be enough drama’

‘Is he rich?’ I ask ‘he thinks she is an
opportunist’

She laughs, ‘are you kidding me?’ she looks
flabbergasted.

‘What?’

‘Abi, have you googled Grant?’

‘No, why would I google him do people
actually do that?’ I question surprised by her reply.

‘Grant is a millionaire Abi surely you are
aware of his wealth’

‘A millionaire! Why would I be aware?’ I
sit and survey our surroundings ‘I didn’t know’ I am disturbed, ‘to be honest
that is a turn off’ I gasp.

‘Ha! Abi you are such a strange creature!’
she giggles rolling about on her side I just sit and frown at her.  Grant a
millionaire I think back to search for any indication that he has wealth and
find none.  He had a driver in Vegas and a suite but you don’t have to be a
millionaire to have those.  I knew he owned that club but I didn’t realize it
was a lucrative business owning bars and clubs.  I feel as if I don’t know him
at all now and for the rest of the day feel strangely uneasy.

I stand in front of the mirror my insides
nervous for our date.  I have dressed in my nude dress I wore in Vegas
accessorized with my black shoe boots and black patent clutch bag, I have
straightened my hair and pulled it into a high ponytail and applied my night
time makeup with glossy lips.  I turn and enter the living area as the doorbell
rings, I totter to the front door and open it to find a suited and extremely
groomed Grant with his green eyes devouring me.
