Sapphire (Steele Investigations) (6 page)

I nod again because honestly I’m not sure what to say.  Then
he positions himself at my entrance and gently slides the tip of his cock in. 
It’s uncomfortable but it doesn’t hurt.

“Ok?”

“Yes,” I breathe.

He pushes more of himself inside me slowly and it starts to
pinch. I wince at the pain and he pauses.

“I’m sorry baby. Do you want to stop?” He looks so
apologetic.

“No, no don’t stop. Keep going,” I say emphatically.  I
mean, sure it will hurt this time, but it won’t hurt like this
every
time. Surely.  I hope.

“Ok. Well I’m just gonna get it over with in one thrust okay?” 

Oh shit. Ok. Ok. I can do this. I take a big deep breath and
he thrusts his full length inside me.  I scream out as tears fill my eyes and
spill over.  He kisses away my tears muttering ‘sorry’ over and over. 

After a couple of minutes, the pain begins to fade and I
need him to move. Like now. I tentatively lift me hips to meet his.  Elliott
withdraws his cock and slowly slides it back in.  Jolts of pleasure shoot
through my body as he continues sliding in and out. In and out. I raise my hips
to meet his with every thrust and soon he is picking up the pace and slamming
into me over and over as I moan from the pleasure.  I can feel myself building
and I know I’ll climax again soon.  Sensing this, Elliott reaches between us
and rubs my clit in fast circles.  I come suddenly. And I come
hard.
I
scream out as the orgasm rips through me and I my pussy walls clench down on
his cock.

 “Fuck...
fuck.
So…fuckin’…tight”.  He thrusts once,
twice, three more times before planting himself to the root and roaring out my
name as he spills his seed and marks me deep inside, my pussy still pulsating
and milking him from my own release.  I wince as he pulls out and walks to the
bathroom, returning seconds later with a warm washcloth, he gently cleans me in
the most intimate way.  I glance down at the sheets and notice the blood. Heat
floods my cheeks as embarrassment floods my body.

 “Elliott. Oh my God. I’m so sorry,” I say quickly as I
scramble of the bed to remove the sheets, ignoring the tenderness between my
legs.  He grabs me by the waist and hauls me back against him.

“Hey, it’s okay. Doesn’t bother me.” He kisses my temple
before pulling me close and we drift off to sleep.

His cell phone ringing interrupts our slumber.  I hear him
reach for the phone on the nightstand and then, “Steele. Right. No I have ‘em.
Right. Yeah, I’ll see you shortly. Later.” He presses end and looks toward me. 
“Sorry babe, I gotta duck down to the office to close a case.  I shouldn’t be
too long. Wait here. Chill out. Do whatever you women do. And I’ll see you when
I get back. We’ll go to your Mom’s.” He kisses my nose swiftly, and then he’s
gone…again…

******

After Elliott left for the office, I decided I wasn’t going
to sit around in his house all day pining for his return, after all it was
still morning.  I was a bit miffed, considering he wanted me here and he’d
practically spent all his time leaving, but I didn’t want to be miffed because
of course he had to work.  So I grabbed my phone, the SUV keys which had the
house keys attached and my purse.  I decided to go for a walk and see what the
neighborhood was like.  I strolled down Marks Avenue and came across a corner
store and a little gift shop.  Over the road was a coffee shop, so I decided to
head there first.  I ordered a Large Skinny cappuccino and a poppy seed muffin,
paid for it and took a table near the large front windows so I could people
watch and take in the sites of the somewhat busy-for-a-Sunday-morning
sidewalk.  I finished my muffin and taking the rest of my cappuccino, I walked
across the road to browse the gift shop.  I ended up finding the most gorgeous
pair of silver earrings that the store owner told me were made by a local
jewelry designer  who designs and makes the pieces from a work shop at her
house and then sells them on consignment at Ruby’s Gift’s, which was the shop I
was in.  Ruby, the owner of Ruby’s Gift’s was about twenty five and so gorgeous
she could have been a model. She had copper hair that fell to her shoulders and
brown eyes with flecks of gold through them.  She was taller than me, about 5
inches taller than me and was sweet as pie.  We sat chatting for a while in
between her serving customers and I found she wanted someone to help her out in
the store. 

“Really? Well, I’ve been looking for some part time work
that fits in with my school schedule. I’ve got six weeks left till I graduate,
then my friend Kami and I are planning on opening a store, but if you’d like
some help for the time being, I’d love some hands on experience. If you’d have
me,” I add.

 “Yes.” She claps  “That sounds great Rae! Are you free now?
I could show you the ropes?” She says to me with a smile so stunning I can’t
help return the sentiment.

 “Sure, I just have to go leave at about half past three”,

 “Awesome, that gives us plenty of time” She says as she
pulls me into a hug. “I’m so happy Rae. Seriously, I think we’re going to be
great friends”.  I give her a giant smile back and stomach dips.  I realize
this is because in my whole life, Kami has been my only ‘friend’. I have known
other girls but they have always been Kami’s friends or just girls I was
friendly with.  Kami has been my only ‘friend’ and now I have another one, by
the name of Ruby and she seems lovely and fun and I can’t wait to get to know
her better.

Ruby spends the next couple of hours showing me around her
store and explaining products and then she shows me how to use the register
then she takes me out back and shows me where she keeps the stock and tells me
that the shop used to be her Mom’s but after her Mom had a bad car accident 5
years ago, Ruby took over the business and added another section to it, which
she tells me, increased business trifold.  I draw my eyebrows together in
confusion, not sure what part of the gifts and knickknacks that Ruby could have
added to make the store increase in sales that much.  She laughs lightly and
opens a closed door that I hadn’t noticed till now.  I enter behind her and my
mouth drops open in shock.  The room is dimly lit with  purple/pink lighting
and as I browse the shelves I am stunned to find an assortment of sex toys.
Vibrators, rubber vagina’s, nipple clamps, anal beads, sexy lingerie, naughty
lingerie,
oh God is that double end dildo?
I almost choke on my tongue
as I continue to look around in amazement.  There are sex toys here I didn’t
even know existed. I mean of course I’ve heard the girls talking about them
over the years and I’m quite open minded with such talk, however, I’m not sure
I would ever use any of this stuff myself,
although
that Butterfly clit
tickler looks like fun. I smile to myself and wonder whether Ruby offers
employee discounts.  I look over to Ruby and notice she’s eying me with
trepidation.  I haven’t said a word since we entered and I get the feeling
she’s worried that I might be disgusted or something.

 “Do you offer employee discounts on this stuff” I ask her
as I burst out laughing. She waits a beat before throwing her head back and
joining me.

I leave Ruby’s Gifts at twenty past three to head back to
Elliott’s.  I haven’t heard from him but this doesn’t surprise me –he doesn’t
have my number, and I don’t have his.  I could ring Kami to get it, but if he’s
working on something important, I don’t want to interrupt him, and besides if
he wanted to contact me, he could ring Kami and get my number. I unlock the
front door at half past three and go to Elliott’s room to change my outfit for
dinner at Mom’s.  I note Elliott isn’t home as I quickly change into a pair of
low rise dark denim skinny jeans and a pretty blouse that Mom bought me for
Christmas two years ago.  I fix my hair and top up my lip gloss, lightly brush
on some pale rose blush, a slick of mascara and a spritz of perfume.  Then I
pull on my black cowgirl boot, which are the
shit
. I bought them last
year when Kami and I went on our twice yearly mega shopping spree.  We go on
shopping sprees throughout the year as well but the Mega Sprees only happen
twice a year and only involve Kami and myself. All other shopping trips are
open to anyone.  The Mega Shopping Spree is not.

I make it out to the kitchen area, and quickly decide that
it would be presumptuous to just take the SUV without Elliott’s permission.  He
said I could use it yesterday, however, that doesn’t mean that it’s okay for me
to use it today.  So, I ring the local cab company and stand outside to wait.
Not five minutes the cab arrives and I direct him to my place.  Ten minutes after
that, I’m in my car and on my way to the florist to pick up my weekly order of
Sunflowers.  Every Sunday I buy a dozen Sunflowers for my Daddy.  They remind
me of him – bright, strong, tall, happy, loving.  I make small talk with
Bernice, who owns Bernie’s Flowers, as I do every week.  She tells me about her
son who’s my age and single and how great he is and she begs me to let her play
matchmaker – she does this every week and my reply never changes, – “Ahh,
Bernie, you know I think your son deserves someone worthy of him.  I can’t
dedicate enough time to dating at the moment to be worthy.” I offer her a small
smile to soften the blow, which I also do every week, and just like every week
she replies by shaking her dusting cloth at me, “Oh push-tush. You are the most
worthy.  You are beautiful and smart, generous and loving, happy and honest. 
You deserve the best, beautiful girl.”  She hugs me and releases me and I gave
a wave and make my way back to the car and onto the cemetery.

Over the years, coming here has gotten easier. It wasn’t
easy at the beginning and I would hyperventilate every week I came out here. I
pushed myself though and now I feel peace when I come to visit Dad.  I find his
spot on the grass and swap last week’s Sunflowers for this weeks.  I brush my
hand across the headstone wiping away any dust that has gathered during the
week.

“Hey Daddy.  I, um, well, it’s, um, six weeks till
graduation.  I wish you could be there to see me in my cap and gown.  I know
you’ll be there, just like you always are, but I’d really love a cuddle and a
kiss from you Daddy.  I miss you so much.  Daddy, I met someone. A boy…Um, well
I didn’t actually just meet him, per say, I actually, well, even you know him.
That’s how long I’ve known him for, but what I mean is that, well, I think
we’re seeing each other.  It’s Elliott.  Elliott Steele. Kami’s older brother. 
I really like him Daddy. I think I might
love
him.  I’m not sure I know
what to do with that.  You’re the only other man I’ve ever loved Daddy,” I
swipe a tear away, press my fingers to my lips and then to the photo on his
headstone.  I whisper, “I love you Daddy. Always,” and I turn back toward my
car.

I arrive at Mom and Michael Senior’s house at ten to six. 
Their maid Lucia lets me in and shows me to the enclosed patio where Mom and
Michael senior are sitting sipping their drinks, wine for my Mom and scotch on
the rocks for Michael.  They turn as they hear me approach and Mom gets up to
envelope me in a tight hug, kissing my cheek and saying, “Oh, Lorraine,
darling. How have you been? We’ve missed you.  Come sit. Would you like
something to drink?”

“Hi Mom. Yes, I’d love a wine please,”

“Lucia, please get Lorraine a glass of wine,”

 “Yes, ma’am,” Lucia replies.

 “Hello Michael. Nice to see you again”.

 “And you Lorraine.” He tips his glass towards me.  Lucia
returns with my wine and tells my Mom and Michael that dinner will be served in
twenty minutes.  I take a sip of the cool, crisp, refreshing wine and take a
seat next to my mother. 

“So tell me darling, how has school been?  You’ve only six
weeks to go. You must be getting excited?” My Mom asks excitedly.

 “Yeah I honestly can’t wait for it to be over and done
with.  I’ve got a lot of studying to do in the next month to prepare for exams
and then Kami and I have been thinking of starting a business together”.

“Oh that sound interesting Darling..” Mom is cut short by
her cell phone ringing.  She looks at the display and then says “Sorry I have
to take this” She leaves the room as she takes the call.  “Michael, Kami and I
wanted to speak with you one day to get some advice on starting the business,
if that’s okay with you?”  “Why, yes of course, Lorraine.  I’d be happy to
help.  Let me know when you’re both free and I will make some time in my schedule
for you,” he replies with a smile. 

Mom reenters the room with a sly smile on her face directed
at me.  I raise my eyebrows in confusion but she offers nothing.  “Let’s move
into the Dining room, shall we.  Dinner will be served shortly.”  I stand to follow
her and Michael and take my usual seat across from Mom, with Michael sitting to
my left at the head of the table.  Lucia appears asking if we would like
refills on our drinks, Mom and Michael both reply “please”, while I opt for an
Iced Tea.  Lucia reappears with our drinks and some herb bread as we continue
small talk.  I take a bite of the crunchy, warm bread and stifle a groan. It’s
absolutely delicious and I’m hoping we’re having Italian for dinner.

The door bells rings and Michael looks questioningly at Mom,
“Are we expecting more company, dear?” he asks, however Mom doesn’t have a
chance to reply because at that moment Elliott comes breezing in with Lucia. 
Michael stands to shake his hand and pat his shoulder saying, “Elliott, son. 
Good to see you.”  Elliott returns the sentiment and moves on to my Mom giving
her a kiss on the cheek and hug, telling her she looks lovely.  Elliott comes
over to me and kisses my cheek, whispering in my ear that, “we’ll talk later”.
He’s pissed at me?  I am shell shocked, I don’t know why he’s here, I mean he
said he would come but then he left with no contact for the whole day and now
he just shows up here and he’s
pissed at me?  I cannot believe this shit! 
I
am quietly seething when I take my place at the table.  Elliott sits to my
right, making small talk with Mom and Michael, and Lucia returns with Spaghetti
Bolognaise, garlic bread and salad.  “What did you do today, Lorraine? Did you
go visit with your dad?”
