Alex

SNEAKING LACEY UP TO my room was a genius idea but also reminded me of my teenage years with Amber, except that I was the man of the house these days. I was a little embarrassed for her to see the wreck that was my room and our house, but I also wanted to get my hands on her again and couldn’t keep leaving the kids. I checked on both kids after ten and found them asleep, so I got Lacey and a glass of water and led her upstairs.

“Sorry this place is a mess,” I whispered as I led her by the hand behind me. “In fact, it’s probably a health risk.” I mumbled more to myself.

“Hey, I have a brother, this is nothing compared to his room.”

I showed her the bathroom and then my room and let her freshen up whilst I quickly whizzed round and stuffed things in the cupboard. She appeared at the door with a smile, “So this is Alex’s room, huh?” she prowled inside, and I watched as one sleek, tanned leg followed the other. All evening I had been staring at the neckline of that pink sundress and wondering what she wore underneath. Lacey was a shameless flirt, and she made sure I knew what she wanted and tonight, lucky guy... that was me.

“Sure is,” I grinned, rubbing my jaw as I watched her cross the room to get to me, “you are one lucky lady.” I told her, keeping my voice low.

“This I already know,” Lacey stopped in front of me and I bent to kiss her, as she slid her hands under my shirt and her fingertips grazed my skin lightly which made me shiver with need. The kissing became frantic and I couldn’t help but grab at her and roam my hands over the beautiful body that was hidden by her dress.

We tumbled back onto my bed and I took my time, removing her dress and worshipping her body with kisses as she lay splayed across the top of my comforter. There had never been a more beautiful girl in my bed and as I kissed lower, she had to bite her lip not to wake the house. I made sure to worship her hot center with my tongue and show Lacey exactly what this country boy could do. By the time I was naked and hovering over her, she had already come apart and was looking up at me with lust filled eyes and a worked over grin.

I eased my way inside her and she gasped, pulling my pillow over her mouth to muffle her moans as I pounded into her. I had wanted to take my time but the minute she was naked for me, it was harder to ignore my raging hard on. Lacey matched me thrust for thrust and I loved that she enjoyed every damn thing I was doing to her without any inhibitions. I turned her over quickly and pulled her up onto her knees, plunging inside again and taking my release from her as I grabbed her ass.

Afterwards we lay entangled together, and I held her to me inhaling her sweet scent, “Wanna watch some TV?” I whispered, grabbing the remote and switching it on.

“Sure, I’ll just use the bathroom.”

She hopped up. “Wait, I’ll get you a shirt.” The last thing I needed was Logan or Sara bumping into a naked Lacey in the bathroom.

I got up, found her a shirt and threw it over to her, “Thank you.” She grinned.

Lacey padded out to the bathroom and I glanced around my room. The walls were still painted the same pale blue they had been since I was a kid. I had updated the sheets to a plain blue and the band posters had been removed but nothing hung in their place, it was bare. Lacey was most likely well-travelled, lived in a penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park and hadn’t slept in her teenage bedroom for years. We were completely different creatures and where she had escaped and forged her own way, I lingered on in a place I couldn’t leave, and yet the land no longer belonged to me.

She snuck back into the room, pulling my nearby shorts on to also use the bathroom. “Relax,” I told her, “I’ll just be a second.”

I cleaned up and used the bathroom, again catching sight of the tired cream bathroom suite and the tiled walls that looked yellow with age. The place urgently needed some renovations, but we had lived here so long like this that we didn’t notice, I bet she noticed. Why the hell did I invite her inside? All because I couldn’t resist her, and my dick craved her.

When I walked back into my room, she was under the covers watching the TV. I gave her a tight smile and moved to lie next to her.

“What’s up?” she whispered, with concern etched on her face.

I shook my head, “Nothing,” I bent to kiss her and settled back against the cushions.

“There is.” She watched me and I turned to face her.

“Just... I bet this place is a far cry from what you’re used to.” I let out a breath, and she moved to lie in the crook of my neck, so I encased her in my arm.

“You know what I’m used to, Alex?” she asked quietly. “I’m used to backstabbers, cheaters, people who would sell their own grannies to get ahead, and too much money.” She sighed. “What you guys have is real, and I think this last decade I forgot about that.”

“Sometimes I wish I’d wanted more than this land, got away, lived a little.” I told her honestly, “maybe I’d get to choose my own path that way.”

“I got away,” she placed her manicured hand on my naked chest and rubbed me gently, “but I’m not sure I really found my path. I guess I’m still not sure what that is.”

“You’ve made it, Lacey,” I told her, rubbing her bare back through the t-shirt. “You’re driven and successful and you bought this place in one fell swoop, things I could only dream of.”

“But you love this place, it’s in your veins. It’s part of who you are and you have a purpose, a reason to keep going,” she sighed. “When I found out that Bryan had got that girl pregnant, I wondered what it was about my life that I truly loved, that I truly had worth having.” She sighed, her voice cracked a little as she said, “it was nothing.”

“That can’t be true,” I slipped out from under her and turned onto my side to face her and watched as emotion filled her eyes, “you got it all, baby: looks, charisma, smarts, ambition and the knack to make it happen. I’d say you got everything but for a minute you were upset and forgot.”

She looked up at me with a tired smile, “I guess I’m not as together as you thought.”

“You’re human,” I bent and kissed her nose, “you think I haven’t laid in this bed at night and wished I was somewhere else and someone else?”

“You are a good man, Alex, giving up your life to be a big brother,” she scooted closer and wrapped her arms around my waist.

“I’m stranded in the middle of nowhere clearing up the never-ending mess my momma left behind, so good or fucked? I’m not sure which.” I chuckled, and she laid her head on my chest.

“Good,” she turned and kissed my chest, “you are all good.”

We laid watching TV a little while longer with her back to me and my arms wound over her front, my hands holding her breasts possessively. She moved her butt to get more comfortable and every swish of that thing set my dick on fire. She turned to face me when she noticed my hardening cock and I kissed her, pulling my shirt up off her body as she reached backwards to stroke me. I fucked her tenderly from behind and she bit her lip to stifle her moans. Having her in my bed was as sweet as a nut and knowing she thought I was a good man made me feel ten feet tall. I wasn’t special, I wasn’t extraordinary, but I had responsibilities and the kids needed me. I had ideas about what I wanted to do: travel, see the country and eventually the world, but for now I was in Montana trying my absolute best not to lose every single thing my grandpa worked for.

The only problem was I had become addicted to the very thing that stood between me and my prize and I had to hope I hadn’t screwed up everything royally by not being able to contain myself when I was around Lacey, the boss.

 

“Let’s just go to that damn bar,” Johnny asked the following Friday when we were alone in the office at lunch time.

“Johnny,” I drew out his name in protest, “you know I hate people.”

He snorted out a laugh as we sat in the office shooting the shit between getting things done. “You don’t hate people,” he smirked, “you hate people gossiping and for fuck's sake the Amber thing is dead.”

I sighed, “Last time we went out she came home with me.”

“I tried to stop you,” he held up his hands, “you were blind drunk, and she was seductive as hell.”

“I can’t risk that happening again,” I shook my head and lowered my eyes to the paperwork I was reading, “I gave her false hope and it’s not fair.”

“Actually,” he narrowed his eyes, “what’s not fair is her fucking that grease monkey Tyrer when you were going through some horrendous shit and then her lying about it.”

I sucked my bottom lip in my mouth, “Old news and I’m over it.” I added breezily.

“So how about I get Vi to come and you could ask Lacey and then even if Amber is there, she won’t come over,” he grinned at the sound of his great plan.

“Why would I ask Lacey?” I asked warily, trying not to sound weird.

“Well she works here, she’s single, you’re single and no other fucker is single around these parts for miles,” he raised his voice at the last part.

“Except Amber and Tyrer,” I reminded him, pursing my lips in mischief.

“Yeah except the ones with a venereal disease,” he quipped.

“Well, um... I guess I could ask Lacey.” I stuttered.

“Dude, I know you like her,” he watched me intently as he said it.

“I...” I shrugged, “what’s not to like?”

He nodded slowly, “I’ll text Vi and you go find Lacey and let's go to the damn bar tonight and let loose.”

“Okay,” Lacey had given me her cell phone number somewhere over the last week and most of the messages we shared were about meeting and what she would do to me when we met up. She was a dirty sexter, and I dug it.

Johnny left the office to make coffee, so I shot Lacey a message.

Me: You wanna hit the bar tonight with Johnny and Vi? X

I watched those little dots dance as she replied and smiled at the thought.

L: Is this like a double date? Very Brady Bunch... x

I smiled down at my phone at her sass.

Me: This is a Johnny wants to get shit-faced and his idea to get me there was to invite you...

L: Does he think you like me? X

I resisted taking a dick shot of how much I liked just messaging her. Instead I decided I needed my fix.

Me: I’ll be at the cottage in ten minutes so I’ll show you then how much I like you... Johnny on the other hand thinks I have the hots for you, little does he know how hot I am for you xxx

L: Get over here, I’m getting naked...x

Me: OMW

Johnny was walking back into the office just as I was dashing out, “Whoa, where’s the fire?” He asked.

“Got some errands to run,” I yelled trying to hide my excited smile as I ran out the door.

“Why are you grinning like a buffoon?” He bent to sip his coffee. “I’ll find out soon enough.”

“Tonight is on Johnny, message me a time,” I jogged down the steps to run across the grass that led to the back of my house. Just then my phone dinged again.

L: Fully naked and getting started without you...

I sped up, and I hoped to hell I didn’t meet anyone on the way as my dick was straining dangerously out of my pants. Damn, nobody's boss ever gave such good perks before...
