Chapter Five
I was taking by surprise when she ran her slender hands up my shirt and touched my chest. My hands were still soapy from the dishes, but I wrapped one of my arms around her waist and buried my hand through her short hair. I lifted her up so that I wasn’t breaking my back and took those familiar steps into the living room. The room smelled of cinnamon, one of my favorite smells, and for some odd reason it made me want her more.
“I’ve missed you so much” I said as I placed her on her back on the sofa. Unbuttoning my shirt, she stared into my hazel eyes and smiled so innocently that I craved to kiss her again.
“I’ve missed you too; it’s been so hard for me.” I kissed her then unable to contain my excitement any longer. I brought my hands to the hem of her dress and pulled it up. She wasn’t wearing any underwear to my surprise and her small breasts were now exposed as well. I kissed her breasts making sure to stop and suckle on each of her nipples. She shivered and moaned as her hands made their way to my belt buckle.
“I love you” I said once she exposed my aching length and held it in her hands. She pumped me gently and then increased the speed of her hands when my breath became erratic. After a while I stopped her not wanting to climax in her hand. I lifted her leg up and placed it over my shoulder as I took myself into my hand and angled it towards her.
“Be gentle,” she said. I nodded knowingly, it’s been a while since we’d had sex and I know that it might be a little tight. I entered her slowly and she struggled to keep her breath steady. She was definitely tight and it took a lot of effort on my part to just not ram myself into her. I wanted to bring her pleasure not pain, so I restrained myself.
“Are you okay?” I asked once I was fully in. She hesitated for a moment, apparently getting used to my length, then she nodded her head.
“Move,” She didn’t have to tell me twice and I started moving slowly in and out of her as I began overwhelming her with pleasure.
“Ah” I groaned as I pushed deeper into her. We were both breathing hard and she was biting and sucking on my earlobe. “You’re so hot and wet.” I said in between my moans. I brought her other leg over my shoulder and began pounding hard into her.
“Ahh!” she called out in pleasure releasing my earlobe and throwing her head back. I looked at her face, which was contorted with pleasure. “So good” she moaned when I quickened my pace. The feeling of Julia’s hot sex around my cock was amazing and it reminded me how much I missed her body as well. The way she rolled her hips and called out my name was so hot that I couldn’t believe I let another woman fuck me.
“I’m going to come soon,” I said bending my head down to kiss her lips. Our tongues fought for dominance but I eventually won.
“Me too.” She said once I released her mouth. She couldn’t take it anymore and she came scratching at my back. “Michael!” she called out my name. Hearing her voice in ecstasy brought me over the edge as well and I came long and hard inside of her.
“Fuck” I said biting into one of the couch cushions to stop my groans.
We made love a few more times after that, completely forgetting about the purpose of me coming over tonight, but I knew she planned this. She wouldn’t have looked the way that she did if she wasn’t planning on having sex. I cursed under my breath when I realized Jacob was right, but I was secretly happy at the same time.
The next morning before we had to go to work, we stopped by Starbucks. I opened the car door for Julia and we walked hand in hand with each other. When we were about to approach the door a woman bumped into Julia knocking down her purse.
“I’m sorry about that” I recognized her voice and once she stood up with Julia’s purse I understood why. I must have been the most unlucky man in the world because staring at us was Elizabeth. Is she stalking me? She looked at us in alarm and her eyes landed on our intertwined hands. I noticed a shift in the air around us and I started to feel a sense of dread.
“It’s okay” Julia said reaching for her purse. Elizabeth’s eyes met mine and I looked away uncomfortable. After a while of us standing there awkwardly, Elizabeth decided to break the silence.
“Enjoy the rest of your day.” She said walking passed us. Her shoulder bumped into mine and she paused. “See you at work, Michael” Even though what she said was something so simple, I knew that it would cause problems.
“I thought you said you didn’t know her?” Julia said as she turned around and faced me. Damn it! I hated how observant she was. “She was the woman who walked away from our table the other night.”
“I don’t remember” I said lamely. That was the first thing that came to my mind. Julia looked at me like I was stupid and her face suddenly appeared very angry.
“That’s her isn’t it? The woman you fucked?” I was shocked when Julia cursed, she hardly ever curses unless she is super pissed. I knew that if I continued to lie to her, I’d be digging a deeper grave.
“Yeah, I only said I didn’t know her because I didn’t want you to overthink things.”
“So lying was your solution?!” A couple of people slowed down to eavesdrop as they walked by. I looked around and grabbed her arm.
“People are watching us, let’s go inside and ta…” she snatched her hand away from me before I finished my statement.
“Go fuck yourself!” she yelled and walked in the other direction. I went to catch up with her, but a bus pulled up and a boat load of people practically ran off of it.
“Damn it! Watch out!” I screamed at the crowd that suddenly surrounded me. I tried to push my way through them, but the crowd was too thick. By the time I was able to break away from them, Julia was gone.
When I got to work I made my way straight to Elizabeth’s cubicle. Numerous people greeted me, but I walked right passed them without a second glance. When George took one look at my face, he moved aside letting me walk passed him without any question. Elizabeth was at her desk typing something on her laptop.
“Can I speak to you for a minute?” I said though my clenched teeth seething at her.
“Can it wait till later? I’m really trying to get this sent before nine.” I didn’t give a damn what she needed to do. I grabbed her arm and practically yanked her up from her seat.
“Now” She took one look at my face and nodded her head. A few of the early birds watched us in interest as we took the elevator up to the roof. Nathan glanced at me and I shook my head like I was saying “not now”. The roof was designated for smokers and thankfully nobody was up there this morning.
“What the hell are you doing?” I said once I closed the door behind us.
“I was doing my work before you manhandled me up here.”
“You know damn well that is not what I’m talking about!” I couldn’t hold back my feelings anymore. If I wasn’t a man, I would’ve slapped the hell out of her. “Why couldn’t you just give Julia her purse and leave? Why did you have to say that extra shit?”
“You’re mad at me for telling the truth? We are co-workers.” I glared at her and she stopped talking.
“Julia saw you at our table the other night and I told her that I didn’t know you. Saying “I’ll see you at work” fucked up everything!” This woman was literally trying to sabotage everything that I worked hard to get back. I’ll be damned if I let her succeed.
“A cheater and a liar, you’re the total package” she said sarcastically.
“And you’re nothing but a jealous bitch.” I said with venom in my voice. “Keep harassing me and I will report you. If you don’t have shit to say to me about work then keep it moving because I’m fucking done with you.” Elizabeth turned to me shocked and just when she was about to say something, I got back into the elevator and left her looking stupid on the roof.
