CHAPTER 23
Declan
I took my parents to the airport two days after Thanksgiving. I still had a day to myself before I needed to return to work, so I headed into the city and had a drink with some buddies. I’d been thinking too much about Madeline and needed to take the edge off. I planned to slow things down a lot after talking with my parents. I didn’t know if I could give her what she wanted, and Madeline wasn’t the kind of woman to keep sleeping with me in a casual relationship. I needed to let her find a man that would give here everything she deserved.
One beer turned into three and soon we started doing shots. I knew that I was getting wasted but tonight, I didn’t care. I kept drinking and eventually the pretty redhead that had been eye-fucking me since she arrived was making her way over to me. We got to talking and she made it clear what she wanted from me as she sipped the drinks that I bought her. My body was missing Madeline and I knew that this girl could scratch my itch.
We kissed right there at the bar, making out like teenagers. I saw the way that my friends looked at me as she led me to the door by the hand. Lisa flashed through my mind, followed by the one-night-stand that I had just after her death as my head started to feel like it was separating from my body.
I was drunk.
Kinsey took me to an apartment that was a couple of blocks from the bar and unlocked her door. I’d learned her name on the walk and pushed her inside as she giggled. “Eager much?”
I kicked her door closed and pressed her against the wall in a long kiss. Kinsey slipped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer as she wrapped her legs around my waist. She’d let me do anything to her tonight. Her black skirt was short and her legs long and toned, something I noticed at the bar. I slipped one arm around my waist and the other cupped her ass, pulling her closer. Her mouth was hot on mine and our tongues danced together hotly as I squeezed her gently. I closed my eyes and let images of Madeline pass through my head as we kissed, telling her to hang on so I could carry her to her bedroom.
There, I stripped her and slipped my hands over her curves as Kinsey moaned. She ripped at my jeans and pulled them down as she kissed me again, and I groaned into her mouth as she gripped my bare cock. I dropped back onto the bed, bringing her with me as she groaned against my lips.
Kinsey pressed her body against me as I felt her pebbled nipples brush against my chest. I felt her heat as she slipped back and forth over me, making me swell with the feeling of her slick lips rubbing me. I pulled her down for a kiss and thrust my hips up slowly as our tongues danced wildly. She pulled up and I moved my face up to take one of her nipples in my mouth and suck her in slowly as she cried out. I thought about Madeline again as I dragged my teeth lightly over her sweaty skin and slipped my hands down to cup her ass again.
We rolled over, so she was on her back and I kissed down her body eagerly. I was beyond aroused by now and hadn’t touched anyone for several days. Kinsey gripped my hair as I kept moving down her stomach and between her legs, licking her hungrily as she held tightly to my messy hair. She was so wet, and I ate away at her pussy, bringing her to an orgasm within a few moments.
Kinsley cried out my name as her warmth washed over my mouth, making me jerk in surprise. She didn’t taste like Madeline and I dropped my face against her thigh and took a deep breath. Kinsey urged me to sit back and she crawled between my legs to take my hardened cock into her mouth as I closed my eyes. I began rocking with her as she sucked, needing to come. If I came, I could stop this. I could leave before I fucked her.
I shot deep into her throat as she sucked me clean, groaning low in my throat. Kinsey moved back and kissed up my stomach and chest as she stroked me, asking if I had condoms here. I did from a time before I was sleeping with Madeline and I told her roughly where they were. I knew that time was running out as I hardened in a few moments and she was sheathing me with the latex. She pushed me to my back and slipped over me, taking me inside of her deep pussy as I cried out.
Fuck. This felt good.
Kinsey rode me hard as we found a rough rhythm together. I thrust as she slid down and I watched her mouth open in a circle with pleasure. I kept moving with her, fascinated with this feeling before she was coming around me. I urged her to her back and began fucking her with earnest. Kinsey gripped me with her hands, dragging her nails over my skin. I felt her still tight around me and knew that I was going to come. I rocked deep inside as I closed my eyes, lost in the sensations of her touch and tight pussy.
We dropped to the bed side-by-side when we were finished, breathing deeply. I offered to get us some water and she thanked me as I stood and made my way into the hallway. I peered into the living room to see that her windows had blinds on them that were closed, so I walked to the fridge and grabbed two bottles before returning to the bedroom. Kinsey was propped on some pillows and took the bottle with a grateful smile, looking me over slowly as she blushed lightly.
I joined her on the bed and took a long drink of the water and closed my eyes. I knew that this wasn’t a place I wanted to sleep tonight but I could justify the sex. I’d only been with two women after Lisa and this was a normal thing for a single man to do. That’s what I’d been told. We made small talk before she yawned, turning her face towards me. “Do you want to stay?”
“I work tomorrow. I should get a car home and I’ll just grab mine in the morning. I am tired from the busy week.” I smiled at her as she faltered for a moment before nodding. We chatted a bit more before I dressed and called a cab from the bathroom after I washed up. I kissed her gently by the front door as she closed her eyes and watched her as I pulled away. “Have a good week.”
“I will.” It looked as though Kinsey wanted to say something else but let it go as I opened the door. She smiled as I told her to lock up, checking my pockets to make sure I had everything.
I waited a few moments for the cab, waiting in the cool air as I breathed it in. This was the right thing to do for me. I didn’t need to settle down as much as my mother wanted me to. Playing the field was the way to go and I watched as a yellow stopped in front of the house. I got inside and gave the man my address, dropping my head back and closing my eyes. When we arrived back at the house, he told me that we were here, and I gave him a couple large bills from my wallet.
I stumbled I to the front door, unlocking it and walking inside. It seemed empty now and that hit me hard as I wandered to my fridge for something to drink. I took another water out and closed my eyes as I drank it down gratefully.
I went to bed and stripped down to my boxers before slipping under the covers. I didn’t set the alarm since I worked tomorrow night and closed my eyes as everything over the past week raced through my mind.
I got up in time to make some lunch and shower before work. I dressed in a pair of black slacks and clean blue shirt slowly, feeling the alcohol from the night before. I reminded myself not to do that again as I uncapped my second Vitamin Water and took a long sip. It was going to be a long night and I drove to the hospital in the dimming light of the evening. Glancing around the lot, I looked over the cars to see if Madeline was here. I knew that I wouldn’t go back to her, not after the night before. She wouldn’t understand my actions and likely wouldn’t want me anymore.
I saw her car as I walked towards the entrance, taking it in before I walked inside. I turned away from the ER to go to my locker and get everything put away before I checked the boards. I chatted with some of the other doctors about my week, laughing as they shared stories from their own holiday. Mine was calm with just my parents. The surgeons that were married with children sounded like they were lightly complaining about the chaos though I could see how much they loved it. I went to my first surgery thinking how good that sounded, scrubbing in for a simple case of appendicitis as I thought about a wife and kids in my house.
I did a few smaller surgeries before I had a chance to eat, walking to the cafe with one of the other doctors to get a sandwich. I glanced around, not seeing anyone else in the small dining area as I paid for my light dinner. We sat and ate until our pagers went off, throwing away the rest of the food into the trash.
My night passed quickly with several surgeries before I was walking out of the door, noting that Madeline’s car was gone. I hadn’t spoken to her in a few days and missed her as I slipped into my car. Was there any point now?
I went home and changed to hit the gym. It had been a few days since that as well. I looked around the gym and searched the bodies to see if she was there. There were a lot of beautiful women, but I didn’t see her. I finished my work out and went home to get some sleep before my morning shift the following day.
The days passed working and I didn’t see Madeline for a couple of weeks until one night at the hospital. I watched her as she laughed with another nurse, stepping to a place where she wouldn’t see me. She looked beautiful and my cock hardened as I took in her smile. Madeline needed a man that would cherish her, making me tell myself that I was doing the right thing by pulling away from her. I watched as she headed to the doors, probably to meet an ambulance and turned to walk away. I headed the opposite way and told myself that I was doing the right thing.
