After a couple of hours, I was pruned and dried out. I drug my lazy ass up the back stairs to my room and hopped in the shower real quick. After I stepped out, I made the executive decision to call it a night
, have some wine and curl up with Bugsy to watch a movie. I threw on an old pair of black yoga pants and an off the shoulder cutoff sweatshirt, before heading downstairs to the kitchen. I fed a very hungry Bugsy and proceeded to pour myself a tall glass of Moscato.

I clicked off every light as I made my way into the living room. I knew what television was like in the middle of the week, so I bypassed the usual HBO movie and put in a DVD. I went with my gut instinct and put on my favorite movie of
all time, Rebel Without A Cause. I mean how can you go wrong with some James Dean?

About a quarter of the way into the movie, I was in desperate need of a refill and a light snack. Just as I approached the kitchen, there were a few loud knocks on the door. Bugsy started going ballistic and I took my time making my way to find out who was at my house. I stopped to pause the movie and set down my wine glass, but then tried to quiet down Bugsy's bark that was echoing through the empty house.

“Settle down buddy.” I patted Bugsy on the head and his barking ceased as he followed me to the door. Sloan was the last person I had expected to see on my doorstep, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. Before I could open my mouth to speak, he was lunging at me. I could feel the passion and want radiating from his sweat-streaked skin. It almost looked as if he had run here. Obviously he hadn't but he wore the sheen of sweat so well. Before I knew it, his lips were on me, his body pinning mine to the wall. My inhibitions disappeared and I threw everything in me into the physical contact. Even if this was only for one night, it was one night I wasn't going to over think our actions.

As his mouth made its way down my neck towards my breasts, his strong capable hands dipped below my as
s and pulled me up around his waist. My breath hitched, as I whispered for him to take me upstairs. Without a second thought or hesitation, he was all but running to my bedroom. When he laid me down on my mattress and pulled away, I half expected him to change his mind and realize this wasn’t what he wanted, but it was the complete opposite.

He ripped of his shirt, discarding it onto the floor. His eyes caught mine in their stare and then my mind completely went blank, thinking of nothing but his bare muscular chest, taunting me to
touch it, taste it and I was well on my way to do just that. First I pulled my shirt off, throwing it on top of his and then next came my pants. I had forgotten the small fact that I hadn't put any panties on, but I was beyond caring. I slowly pulled down my pants, pushing them the rest of the way to the floor.

My eyes never left him and his never left me. I watched cautiously as he took in my very naked body, lying beneath him. Seconds later, his pants and boxer briefs joined the rest of our clothing. My eyes went wide as he took his hard length in his hand. As he slowly started to move his hand up and down, I began to feel
my wetness increase. I placed the tip of my finger on the tip of my tongue and drug it back and forth, getting it nice and moist. My eyes wandered down to his hardness in front of me, and when they did, I slipped my finger from my tongue and made my way to my rock hard nipple.

I skimmed my fingertip across my nipple a few times before pinching it between my thumb and forefinger. As his warm amber eyes caught site of this, his grip on his dick tightened immensely. My tongue darted out and licked my plump bottom lip. I knew exactly what this small action could do to him, so I repeated it one last time. Just as my fingers were headed south, his mouth dropped open and three amazingly fuckworthy words came out of his fuckalicious mouth.

“Fuck this shit!”

With that, his fingers were slipping up and down my wet folds. I threw my head back
, and my body arched into his touch. My eyes fluttered shut, just as he pushed open my folds with one hand and slipped his other fingers deep inside me. I let out an audible moan and my back arched even further. This time his mouth was there to accept my nipple into it. His tongue tickled and teased the hard nub as his fingers worked their magic on my nether regions. When I opened my eyes for the briefest of seconds, his mouth released my nipple and began making a slow but pleasurable descent to my pussy.

His fingers were moving in and out slowly, but picked u
p pace as his tongue met my soft clit. My moans increased in sound and I could feel myself at the edge of the cliff. I took in a deep breath and held on for dear life as I fell. My insides greedily sucked his fingers deeper inside, and I ached to feel him inside of me. I needed to feel his amazing length stretching and tugging at my core. Before I could regain my composure, he pushed himself deep and hard inside of me.

His name rolled off of my tongue fluidly. My body was familiar with this man, and I wouldn't have it any other way. He pumped into me harder than he ever had
, and the ache deep inside of me finally felt its release. I gave myself over to my orgasm completely, and so did he. Minutes later, he was laying sprawled out next to me, when the words came pouring out of my mouth.

“Your father knows about us.”

“I figured as much.” His voice was strained and I began to get worried that I may have said the wrong thing in that moment.

I rolled over to my side
, holding my head up with my hand. “You don't care?”

Please say no! Please say no!

A small laugh rumbled through his chest. “No, why would I?”

“Well, I don't know. I thought maybe you didn't want anybody to know.”

“Are you sure it's not
you
that you're thinking about?”

“I'm sure. I want everybody to know.” I closed my eyes trying to think long and hard about this. Of course thinking about long and hard brought me back to the amazingly beautiful
, long and hard naked man next to me.

Damn it!

He pushed himself up onto his elbow so he was now facing me. “Well then it's settled.”

“What's settled?” I sat myself up the rest of the way, not understanding what he was insinuating.

“You'll go to the company party with me. It can be like our coming out?” His laugh echoed through the room. “Okay that sounded bad, but you know what I mean.”

I laughed right along with him, knowing exactly what he meant. “Okay, deal.”

Sloan's hand came up to my face, brushing loose strands of hair behind my ear. I closed my eyes to enjoy the loving moment that seemed so rare with him lately. I was on the brink of sleep when he decided to speak again.

“So who are the flowers from?”

Shit!

“It's okay, I already know. Honestly, I saw you two at lunch today.” He hung his head in shame and instead of being mad, I was happy.

It was nice to see he had a little bit of a jealous side. Is it weird that I took that as though he cared? “So that's why you left early huh? I knew it had to be something.”

“Yeah well, it wasn't what you think.”

“Oh? And what do
I
think? Please enlighten me.” My head instinctively rolled onto his chest and up beneath his chin. His lips pressed against the top of my head just before he let out a deep sigh.

“Okay maybe it is what you think. Lets just leave it at that.” He kissed my forehead and rolled us into the middle of the bed.

I wanted to push him for answers, I really did, but my mind was throwing up a big red flag saying no. I shook my head and let out a small giggle to let him know I was, we were, fine. Within minutes, I was fast asleep in his arms and reveling in his touch.

Thirty-Six

Sloan

I hadn't expected the night to go that way, okay maybe a little bit that way, but not the talking part. Of course I wanted to tell her how I felt. Hell, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but something inside of me still lay dormant and I wasn't ready to reawaken it. I watched Aston sleep for a little while, before I lost the battle to my heavy eyelids. When I woke up a couple of hours later, she was still snuggled against me, and I rolled over to pull her in deeper. Any other time and I would have made my way out of her grasp, but not this time.

I must have fallen back asleep because when I came to, Aston was gone. The side of the bed where she once laid was now cold and empty. I frantically pushed myself out of bed and ran downstairs to find her. When I found her in the kitchen making breakfast
, I breathed a little bit easier.

I had made the decision t
o let this girl in, all the way in, so I took it upon myself to take over making breakfast. She tried to push me out of the kitchen a handful of times, but to no avail. I was determined to make this woman feel wanted, needed, and loved. A small wry smile crossed her face and I smiled in return.

Man she was fucking gorgeous!

“How did you sleep?”

“Like a baby, but I'm sure I owe that to the company I had.” She winked and headed to grab plates from a nearby cupboard.
“What about you?”

“Oh
, I slept better than I ever have before.”

“I highly doubt that, but I'll take it.”

We both shared a laugh and then I scooped out some hearty portions onto both of our plates. We ate in silence and after we finished, she made her way upstairs and into the shower. I made my way back upstairs to get dressed, but the smell of lavender and vanilla enraptured me and I found myself walking towards the cracked bathroom door. I gently pushed it open and my senses were assaulted with an aroma that was mouth watering.

Now, I could have very well been a good boy and run along and leave her be, but lets face it, I'm a bad boy. I slightly pulled back the curtain to not frighten her, when I saw the “fuck me” look in her eyes. Without
second-guessing myself, I stepped into the cloud of steam and felt my way to her body. She pressed a chaste kiss to my lips and then turned ever so slightly to bend over. I took this as an invitation and wound my arms around her waist. My dick was pressed against her backside, as I made small circles around her clit. I would've played with her a little bit longer, but my dick jumped at the mere thought of being inside her tight pussy. Without caution, I entered her and then stilled so I wouldn't come from just her touch.

I continued to circle her nub as my oth
er hand came up to her hair. I gave a hard tug, just as I pushed all of me inside of her. I felt her tighten around me and I couldn't stop myself. I pumped in and out as fast as I ever have and within seconds we were finding our release together. I slid my hand down her soaking wet back, before stopping at the top of her ass. I gave it a small slap and she jumped at the shock of it. I smiled a wide grin and then kissed the top of her head.

You going into work today?” I knew she knew the answer but after last night, I couldn't fathom the thought of her being
in the office today and me not seeing her.

“I think so, yeah.”

“Didn't you give Ariel the rest of the week off?”

Shit!

“Yeah, but I can manage without her for a few more days. You worried about little ole me?”

“Absolutely not, I was just curious when I was going to see you again?”

“Soon Aston, very soon.”

We both smiled and I jumped out of the shower, giving her some space to get ready. I dried off quickly and had my clothes back on
, just as fast. If I was going to make it to the office on time, I had to get going. I hustled back into the bathroom, kissed the fuck out of her and promised to see her at the office in a bit.

I hauled ass back to my house. I was wearing a permanent-grin and for once
, I liked how it looked on me. Twenty short minutes later, I was out of the house and headed to the office. Today was going to be a great day, I could feel it all throughout my body, or maybe that was the remnants if her.

Thirty-Seven

Aston

Last night and this morning was incredible. I was still sore from our night and early morning tryst. A girl could definitely get used to this. I was walking on cloud nine when I finally made it to the office. My body could feel his presence the moment I stepped out of the elevator. Of course reality came crashing down on me like a ton of bricks, once I entered my office. I had totally forgotten about the hundreds of roses scattered throughout my office and there went my cloud.

Knowing how the flowers would make Sloan feel, I called for Annie to throw them
all away. Every single last rose was to be gone within a half an hour. As soon as my office was cleared out and back to normal, I made the one phone call I had been dreading.

“Thank you for calling Destination Unknown
, this is Shelby. How may I help you?”

"Hey whore, long time no talk.”

“Well if it isn't the skank herself. You and Sloan come up for air? Or is it Nole? I just can't keep track anymore.”

“Ha ha
, you're funny for a nitwit. Yes we did, and it was Sloan.”

Insert long pause, and let the insults flow!

"Well good for you."

I sat back in my chair, baffled at the odd way Shelby was behaving. We always insulted each other and made fun of one another. It was our thing. "Okay, spill. What the hell is going on with you? And don't tell me nothing."
