Love Never Fails (2 page)

I saw the flight attendant come right over to us. That’s the beauty of First Class, wonderful service.
“How may I help you?”
“Two things, will there be wifi on this flight? And may I get a drink please?”
“That sounds good,” I added.  “What are you having?”
“A vodka cranberry to start,” Selina answered.
“A Corona for me with lime would be great.”
“Ok, I’ll be right back with your drinks and the wifi password. You will have to wait until we get to cruising speed before logging on though.”
“Thank you,” said Selina.
“I also have some nice appetizers that I will bring the both of you. Will that be all Mr. and Mrs.?”
“Oh God no,” laughed Selina.  “We aren’t married or even together.”
“Well, you should be; such a handsome couple. I’m sorry if I embarrassed you.”  I noticed that the flight attendant took her time looking at me the minute she knew Selina and I was not a couple.  Sorry, you are not the one I’m interested in.
“Its fine,” answered Selina. As the flight attendant walked away, I waited until she was out of earshot from us.
“I have to agree with her, you are gorgeous.”  I couldn’t help myself; I wanted to see how far I could push her.  Seeing the color creep up into her cheeks, she barely whispered thank you and turned her eyes away. I felt that she shut herself down and did not want to engage a conversation with me. 
So I decided to get comfortable for the flight. Standing up, I took off my suit jacket and laid it flat in the overhead compartment.  The tie came off next and joined the jacket.  I saw her slide a glance towards me to see what I was doing.  Sitting back down, I undid my cuff buttons and rolled my sleeves up to my elbow. The tattoo of an eagle was emblazoned on my forearm from my military days. I noticed that she was glancing at it and also at what I was doing.  I undid a few of the shirt buttons and felt that I could relax on this flight now.  Grabbing my laptop, I would get some work done on the long flight home while planning my strategy in getting to know this princess.  There was no doubt the attraction was there between us and I planned on doing something about it.

Chapter 3   Selina

Ok this is not happening!  I can’t believe I’m attracted to this gorgeous man sitting next to me.  After my ruined relationship, I should be turned off by men.  My head is telling me to stay away, but my heart is bouncing out of control as well as other parts of my body. The quicker we get to Houston, the easier it will be to move on with my life, pure and simple.  Yet I’m not having pure thoughts right about this time.  By saying a Hail Mary, maybe she will help me get thru this flight and fight all temptation. It’s not working, the prayer I mean. I need a drink. Can you sense my panic?
Now why is he getting out of his seat?  Just a small glance to my right and I see him taking off his jacket and tie.  Oh God, I was right; not only tall but he is built, not like the asshole.  I have got to stop comparing the two of them.  As Damien sat back down, I look over at him and give him a shy smile as I saw his eyes look right into my soul.  Seeing a tattoo on his muscular forearm just about does me in. Oh my God a tattoo! Get a grip Selina.  You are turned off from the male sex right now.  I keep telling myself this. They are too much trouble.  Where is that drink?
“Selina, are you ok?”
“Yes, just wondering where our drinks are.”  That lie came out a little too quickly from my lips.  Damien narrowed his eyes and leaned in towards me.
“Be honest with yourself: is that what you are really thinking about as you are sitting here next to me?”
I felt my heart jump in my chest at his direct words to me.  Trust me, that wasn’t the only part of me being affected by him. I felt that unmistakable longing for love, for complete satisfaction from a man to a woman. It was getting a little uncomfortable sitting next to him as my body and mind were betraying me but I forced myself to have a calm demeanor even though I was quivering on the inside.
Given a reprieve of having to answer, the flight attendant came over with our drinks.
“After we get to cruising altitude, I’ll have food to serve the both of you.  In the meantime, relax and make sure your seat belts are fastened.  We are getting ready to take off.”
Looking for my other seat belt buckle, I realize it’s tangled up with the gorgeous hunk. This can’t be happening.
“Umm, I believe that part of the buckle is mine.”
“Well, let’s get this figured out then, shall we?”
Putting his Corona down on the floor next to him, I could tell he was starting to enjoy every minute of this. He reached over to my other side and pulled the belt across my waist.  For a brief second, his forearm brushed against my breast which caused me to suck in my breath. I can’t believe he is doing this.
“I think I can take care of this now,” I told him. Totally ignoring me, Damien’s head was bent over by my face.  The smell of his cologne was an aphrodisiac to me as it tantalized my senses. I was able to get a good look at him, even down to his dimples thru his close cropped beard that I imagined he has if I could get him to smile on this trip. Pulling the other side from in between our seat, he clicked the belt and tightened it around me. Glancing at me as his mouth was barely inches from my lips, time seemed suspended between us.  His eyes devoured my lips and then reached up to my eyes, darkening with desire as he stared at me.  I could feel him without him touching me.  How is that possible?
“Thank you,” I whispered. With a slight smirk, he sat back in his chair. Taking a deep swig of his beer that was the only telltale sign that showed he was as attracted to me as I was to him. Maybe a quick fling was what I needed to make me get over the asshole as well as take away my insecurity of not being pleasing to a man.  Maybe it was the asshole that wasn’t good in bed.  I really didn’t have much to compare him to.  My friend Julia always said I needed to go out and just have fun, one night stands, see what was out there.  Maybe my upbringing stopped me from having that kind of fun as my Catholic roots always took a firm hold on me. Being raised in a Spanish and Irish home, I didn’t stand a chance.  Maybe this time, I can relax the rules just a bit for this man.
The flight attendant made the announcement over the PA system that we were next in line to leave.  I felt my anxiety kick up a bit.  I finished my drink in two big gulps as the vodka hit my stomach like a ton a bricks.  The warmth of it spread throughout my body.  As I looked out the window, I felt a tear fall down my cheek and then another and another.  I can’t lose it in front of this man but I couldn’t help myself.  I was leaving devastation behind to living in an unknown city and carrying a broken heart.  Feeling a hanky pressed into my hand, I glanced down at it and saw the monogram emblazoned on it: DS.  I couldn’t look at him but just nodded my head as I used the hanky to wipe the tears from my cheeks as I continued to look out the window.  A warm hand held onto mine which made my emotions come bubbling to the surface.  Just his kind gestures put me over the top.  I just let the tears fall as soft sobs shook my body as the plane lifted us into the air and towards my new life.

Chapter 4  Damien

She was killing me.  Hearing the sobs leave her body, this was more than just the flight.  I know her resume, she traveled all over the world; it’s not the flight.  No, this was heartbreak, pure and simple or maybe not so simple. Whoever he was that broke her heart was a fucking loser in my mind.  Holding her hand seemed to make her sobs worse but I didn’t want to let her go. I couldn’t.  We’ll get to cruising altitude; get us another drink and something to eat.  Maybe she will open up but something tells me she won’t.  At least this will help her; a good cleansing cry didn’t hurt anyone and helped set them on the right path to rediscovery. 
As the plane leveled off, she pulled her hand from mine and apologized for losing it like she did.
“It’s fine Princess.  I’m glad to have been here to help.”
“Princess? Hardly.”
“If you were mine, you would definitely be my Princess.  May I?”
Giving me a slight nod, I reached over to brush the tears from her cheeks as she just stared at me.  Licking her lips, I just stared at the fullness of the bottom lip.  I reached over and touched it with my thumb as I felt her tremble a bit from just that light touch.  I felt it right down to my crotch.  For the first time ever, I recognized this woman had the power to bring me to my knees. I have never felt this protective over a woman before and I’ve had many that have come in and out of my life.  No one made me react like Selina has.
The flight attendant came over just at this moment with a tray of food and another vodka cranberry and a Corona. 
“You can use the wifi now. Just press the button overhead if you need anything else.”
“Thank you,” said Selina.
Raising her glass to mine, Selina made a toast.
“Here's to new beginnings, both personal and business.”
“That sounds good to me Princess.”
Looking at me, Selina took a big sip of her second drink. Laying sideways in her seat, she tipped it back a little and settled in comfortably with her legs tucked up under her.
“I was supposed to be on my honeymoon right now.  I cancelled our wedding a month ago after I found him screwing a nurse in his office when I stopped by unexpectedly. I can’t get that vision out of my head and really in my heart know it wasn’t the first time he cheated on me.  It was the first time I caught him and that was that. I guess I can count myself lucky that I found out before we got married.”
“That man is an asshole.  You need to find the right man who will treat you the way you should be treated.”
Selina laughed out loud.  “Really Damien, you guys are all the same. Get in and get out.”
“Not all men sweetheart, you just haven’t met the right one.”  I reached out to the curve of her cheek and brushed my fingers down her face and onto her neck.  Reaching behind her neck, I pulled her closer to me as I met her halfway.  I had to kiss her, had to show her that she was partially in control while I was totally in control of her. 
“I want to kiss you Princess.” 
Feeling the slight nod of her head, I brought my lips to hers.  Feeling her hands on my shirt, she pulled me closer while her lips parted for me. Slanting my mouth against hers, my lips were hot as they had their first taste. Hearing a soft moan come deep within her throat, our tongues were entwined with each other, devouring each other.  I was lost in her.  This was dangerous.  I explored her mouth, my hand taking some liberty in moving lower down her neck to slightly inside her shirt.  When she arched her back into me, feeling her breasts on my chest was totally sexy.  Hearing the sounds coming from her made my dick react.  All I could say was her fiancé was an idiot to give this woman up.  I can only imagine what she would be like in bed but knew that we had to slow this up before things got out of control.  Then I felt her hand travel down the front of my shirt.  She slowly unbuttoned more of the top buttons as her mouth traveled down my neck and onto my chest.  Jesus, what was she doing to me?  I quickly looked around, thankful we were in the last seats and First Class wasn’t full either. Since it was evening, the cabin lights were already muted so that added to mood.
As her hand drifted down onto my lap, I had to stop her. 
“Hold that thought Princess.”
I stood up and grabbed two blankets from the overhead compartments as Selina brought both of our seats to lay back.  Sitting back down next to her, I put the blankets on top of us.
“What do you want Selina?”
“I want to forget.”
“Lower your jeans now.”
Selina kept her eyes focused on mine as I saw her movement under the blanket.
“Lower your panties now.”
She nodded her head and looked at me, her topaz eyes turning a darker shade from lust.
“I’m going to make you forget all about him, make no doubt about that.”
As I lay on my side, my fingers found what I have been thinking about all night and pushed right into her. Hearing her moan out loud, I covered her lips with mine.  I stopped moving my fingers and moved my mouth to her ear.
“You can’t do that, bite my shoulder when you come but you can’t moan out loud like that here.  Do you understand me?”  Nodding her understanding, I felt her shift closer to my fingers.
“Tell me what you want Selina.”
“I want you to make me come Damien, I want to forget, please.”
“My pleasure ma’am.” Sliding my fingers up and down her folds, I parted them with my hand while my mouth was on hers.  She spread her legs as far as she could in the seat as I stuck two fingers deep within her. She actually was biting my tongue as she kept her moan quiet like I instructed her.  As waves of pleasure started building within her, I knew she was close by how she was gripping my fingers inside of her.  Her hips started moving against my fingers as my thumb rubbed against her clit.  She was coming apart in my arms as she buried her face in my neck and bit down as her whole body shuttered from this experience.  Wave after wave of pleasure came crashing down on her as I didn’t let up until I felt her quiet down from her orgasm.  Pulling my fingers from her, I lifted my hand to my mouth to lick my fingers while watching her. 
“Oh my God,” she whispered.
“Taste.”  Selina licked my fingers, sucking them right into her mouth which sent shock waves right into my dick. 
Pulling my fingers from her mouth, she moved her hand under the blankets right to the zipper of my pants.  As she unzipped my pants, she kept her eyes locked onto mine.  Giving me a sly smile, she went down under the blanket and pulled my pants down.   My dick had a mind of its own and it wanted Selina.  Feeling light kisses up and down the length of me, she licked the whole top part before I pushed myself into her mouth.  Feeling the vibration of her moan on me made me put my head back into my seat as Selina made love to me. Moving her hand up and down the length of it as her mouth and tongue were sucking, it was an amazing feeling.  As she cupped my balls, I knew that I was going to come in her mouth sooner than later.  I always like to be in control of these situations but was fast loosing myself in Selina.
Feeling her nails rake over my length, she concentrated on the tip before engulfing it all into her mouth and towards the back of her throat.  Reaching under the blanket, I held her head in place while I fucked her mouth. I made sure that I didn’t push too hard to hurt her but just enough to give her what we both wanted.  Feeling the rush starting, I jerked as I released myself within her hot mouth.  As my spasms subsided, Selina came out from under the blanket and smiled at me.  She placed a kiss on my cheek and whispered a thank you in my ear.
“There‘s plenty more where that came from Princess.” Not liking how she looked at me, it seemed that she was making this a one night stand.  She was definitely in for a rude awakening.  At that moment, I decided to keep my association with her a secret.  She would know that I always got what I wanted and I was just starting with her.
Chapter 5  Selina
I knew the minute he offered me his hand and hanky, I wanted to have some kind of sex with him; Damien would be my one night stand.  What were the chances we would ever see each other again?  I decided to consume a bit more alcohol to give myself some courage and gave him signs that I would be open to consensual adult sex.  How clinical that sounded but I really needed to forget the asshole and see if I was attractive to the opposite sex.  It seemed like Damien was into me too so what the hell.  I decided to tell him what happened to me.  Getting all comfy, I related the story of how I found my fiancée screwing that tramp and that I reached out to the new boss to see if the job was still available in Houston.  Damien just understood everything.  He was so easy to talk to.
When he reached out to me, I was a goner. I’m so glad he made the first move as I really didn’t know how I was going to initiate anything.  At a club was one thing; an airplane I was lost. Moving closer to him, I wanted his lips on mine so badly.  I knew he would help me on the road to forget my heartbreak.  I felt a little guilty using him but I was attracted to him.  He was a warm, attractive man that knew what he was doing; he seemed a bit of a domineering alpha male type but that was fine with me.  I didn’t have the experience I knew he had so that helped make this easier. It would be exciting to give control to him. I just didn’t want to get caught but it seemed like everyone was asleep and First Class wasn’t even sold out.  Lucky us. 
As I started to moan deep in my throat, he warned me to be quiet so we didn’t get caught.  That would be mortifying but made it all the more risqué.  So grabbing a few blankets and putting the seats down, I was already shaking with excitement on this sexy adventure, knowing that this man was just what I needed right at this moment.  He would be the one to initiate the new me.
When he ordered me to take my jeans and panties off, a flood of excitement reached my core.  As he fingers buried themselves in me, I was transported to another realm, where new beginnings began and nightmares ended.   Doing what he told me to do, I kept my face in his neck and bit down as I came hard against his fingers. I never had this reaction with the asshole before so I know the healing process had begun.  Then I couldn’t wait to give him the same pleasure back. 
I was told that I wasn’t good at oral sex but maybe it was the man that I was with. 
Damien couldn’t get enough of what I did to him; it gave me a sense of power and accomplishment, especially when he came in my mouth. He was more endowed than what I’ve known too and was definitely attracted to me judging by his response.  That much I know.
I wanted to shout for joy that I did it, that I made another man feel as wonderful as he made me feel. I took everything that Damien gave me and tried not to have any type of connection with him. It wouldn’t work if I developed any type of feelings for him. That would be my undoing.  I had to stay strong and just concentrate on my new job. But first I had to get thru the rest of this flight.  So I settled back in my seat and thought about getting some work done.  Feeling good about myself, I thought I was a bit of a vixen but in reality, it needed to be coaxed out of me.  This man definitely did that for me. Just looking at him made me want to do things that I’ve never done and only read about.  So I told him thank you and tried to dismiss him a bit. I wanted to distance myself from him. No sense in getting caught up in him if this was a onetime thing. Seeing the look in his eyes scared me as he seemed to tell me that he was nowhere near done with me.  What are the chances that we would meet up again anyway?  Houston was a big city. 
I was able to get a wifi password hook up and got to work on mapping the new drilling site for Stone Oil Industries.  I kept my conversation to a minimum with Damien; I got what I wanted from him, now it was time for me and for healing.  But maybe, I will give him my number.  He could be my “friend with benefits” if he would be agreeable to that.  This is a new Selina taking control over her life.  I actually started getting excited about the new me.
