Chapter Fourteen
Levi heard the front door over a half hour ago. First the hard sound of Cayden’s heels against the hardwood floor upstairs, then the patter of water from the shower soon followed.
It crossed his mind to join her, but he already washed the grit from the day off. Besides, he had a feeling she wanted to be alone. While the tree house guy chatted his ear off on the phone, he puttered around the kitchen.
Larry the Builder’s rates were astronomical. At this point, he had no idea why she recommended the guy. They couldn’t afford him … or at least Levi couldn’t.
Snapping his fingers for Belle, his furry blue baby got up from her bed. He opened the back door to let her out.
“I want to work with you guys, but it’s just the price is a bit steep for us right now.” He sat down at the table. The tree houses were good in theory, but without a bank loan, it wouldn’t work.
“My understanding is that Cayden Young is part owner of Goosebay Lake.”
Levi bit back a smart comment. They’d kept Cayden’s affiliation with the resort pretty hush hush until recently. When a Forbes article about her wealth listed her assets, Goosebay Lake came in at a meager number fifteen.
After that piece of information went public, Levi could no longer get anything done on his own. In the past few years, Cayden had to step in and work out more than a couple of deals that he simply couldn’t afford. That article marked the beginning of most of their problems. They barely spoke after their fight, but the publicity from Forbes didn’t help. Business matters had to be done through email.
“She is, but there’s no room in the budget…” Levi’s frustrations evaporated once Cayden stepped into the kitchen.
The button-up shirt she wore buckled wide open. While the roundness of her breasts gave him an instant hard-on, her long hair hung down her back. Truly the stuff Playboy dreams were made of.
“To spend damn near a quarter of a million dollars for three tree houses is a bit steep … even for my partner.”
Revealing a sexy peek of her pussy, Cayden maneuvered her legs to straddle him. Whatever happened today must have been bad enough that she needed to forget it.
“I was just verifying. You see,” Larry the Builder said, “we have a television show and we can do the tree houses at half the cost. And if we can get her on the show…” While Levi became distracted by the sexy Cayden Young, he let Larry babble out his idea.
Allowing her to blow off steam by using his body would be beneficial to him. Since he had been running from early morning until damn near midnight, he pretty much made up his mind.
“Let me see if I understand this correctly,” Levi posed his question as she kissed his neck at the base of his pulse, then licked his throat. He didn’t let on that her antics did anything for him. “You’re willing to give us a major discount if Cayden appears on your show?”
“Our program just got optioned and she’ll help our ratings like you wouldn’t believe. I’m going to work on an idea and we’ll get this puppy started.” Larry stumbled over his words excitedly.
Cayden gave him the thumbs up sign before she sank to the floor.
“What in the—” he muttered, when she reached into his sweats and pulled him out.
“Pardon?”
“This sounds good. I’m, uh … going to have to call you back.” He hung up before she licked the tip of his cock. “Oh fuck,” he choked out before she took him into her mouth and bobbed up and down on his rod.
While he accepted the warm feel of her mouth, she kept her eyes locked on his. Levi fought the urge to shove her head down. After a tongue swirl, a hard suck, then a sweet kiss to his tip, he could no longer allow her to tease him anymore.
Pulling her up by her shoulders, he maneuvered her onto the table and took her pretty swollen lips into his. With the understanding that she didn’t want sweet and easy, he shoved himself into her.
“From behind,” she huffed, while he grinded into her tight, wet pussy.
He wanted to look into her eyes when he exploded. Nevertheless, he would always cater to her happiness, which became the sum total of their problems.
“Are you going to tell me what’s wrong?”
For a split second, he could tell she considered it but instead she lightly nipped his bottom lip.
Not giving in so easily, he thrusted in and out of her until she groaned, and then he flipped her around. The shirt pulled over the bubble of her ass.
“Yes!” she exhaled.
Holding her down with one hand, he rocked into her tight body with his cock. The stress from the day poured out into his long strokes. There were so many things he wanted to say, but wouldn’t dare.
He pulled her off the table and slipped his hand past her stomach to her crotch. Concentrating on the pace of his strokes, he played with her nub.
“Arghh,” she moaned. Increasing his speed, he lightly spanked the front of her pussy. Her body shook hard under the weight of her orgasm.
“Better?” he growled in her ear when he pulled her up.
She gave him a sexy and low chuckle before she pushed her backside into him. Since he didn’t need to be asked twice, he screwed her until he blasted away his stress from the day.
