Chapter Eighteen

Anthony

The fears that morning had flooded me without warning or provocation. One minute I was thinking about the amazing weekend I’d had with Eliza, and the next I was replaying all the feelings I had when Amy died. There was no rhyme or reason to any of it, and it was driving me absolutely crazy. One thing I did do right, though, was send Eliza that text. It was hard to do it, especially since everything in me was telling my brain to run in the other direction, but I did it. When she didn’t text back I panicked, trying to figure out what to do next. However, just as the panic was reaching a fevered pitch, she walked into my office and stood there, dripping wet from the rain that just started twenty minutes before.

When she walked in, I wanted to drop to my knees and ask her to forgive me. Just having her there close to me made me instantly forget those fears, but she was determined, and I wasn’t going to take that from her. She was so adorable standing there with her hands on her hips, water dripping down her face and a serious look in her eye. Her speech was raw but intelligent and sensitive, and immediately I knew that I was falling even more for this girl. She had come down to my office just to make me feel better. She had given up her day to make sure that we stayed intact because of my issues, issues that she in no way caused. It really showed me how much she actually cared for me. It showed me that there was a woman out there who wanted to be there for me, be with me, no matter how screwed up I was in my head. There hadn’t been anyone like that since Amy.

There was a moment during that passionate kiss that I thought about sweeping her into my arms and making love to her right there. However, knowing that I was in the middle of a Monday workday, that might not be so romantic. I picked up the phone and called my secretary.

“I need you to cancel all my appointments for the day,” I said, looking over at Eliza. “Something has come up.”

I hung up the phone and reached over, grabbing my coat and pulling it around her shoulders. By that point her teeth were chattering and she was freezing cold. She watched as I gathered my things and switched my computer off.

“Where are we going?”

“Back to my house,” I said, leaning in and kissing her softly.

We left the office, and I grabbed an umbrella from the front, holding it over our heads as we raced across the street to my apartment complex. We took the elevator up in silence, and when we entered she walked into the kitchen and dried her face off. I stood there watching her, my heart pounding in my chest. She turned around and looked at me, a smile moving across her lips.

She grabbed my hand and led me down the hall and into my bedroom, shutting the door quietly behind us. I walked in and turned toward her just as she walked forward, rubbing my shoulders with her hands. Immediately the passion from the weekend in Maine came back to us, and she was unbuttoning my shirt and kissing my mouth hard. She pushed my shirt over my shoulders and off my body and undid my pants, letting them fall to the floor. I reached down and grabbed the edges of her shirt and pulled it up and over her head. Her tits bounced around wildly, and I looked down as she pulled her soaking pants off and kicked them to the side. I sunk my hand down the front of her panties and watched her head roll back as my fingers pushed through her wetness. I gently held her waist and moved her toward the bed kissing her passionately.

She lay down in front of me and scooted back until her head was on the pillow. I pulled her panties from her body and spread her legs open, rubbing my palms over her breasts and down between her legs. Her clit was hard and she was ready, but I wanted to remember what she tasted like first. I crawled toward her, putting my head between her thighs and smiling up at her. Slowly I parted her pussy lips and ran my tongue through her wetness and around her nub. She breathed deeply as I swirled my mouth through her juices. I drove two fingers into her pussy, feeling how incredibly tight she was. My cock pulsed, still trapped in my pants as I fingered her passionately, my mouth moving wildly over her. She reached out and grabbed the sheets on the bed, grasping them in her hands and moaning.

I looked up at her eyes as I pushed her further into ecstasy, lifting her thighs in the air and running my tongue through her juices. She arched her back and moaned, reaching down to her breasts and squeezing, pulling at her nipples. She writhed and wiggled beneath my face as her hips began to grind in rhythm with my tongue. I could feel her body getting stiffer as she came closer to her first climax. Her body moved faster, and she reached down, threading her fingers through my hair and pushing down. She moaned loudly as she lifted her body from the bed and fucked my face, the erotic nature pushing me too close to just plowing into her. As the motions became uncontrolled and wild, she screamed out, arching high in the air and throwing her head back. Her body convulsed passionately beneath me as her juices flowed from her pussy. She whined and moaned as she let the air leave her chest, and her hips relaxed back into the bed.

“Wow,” she giggled, reaching for my face and pulling it up to hers.

I kissed her lips softly as I reached one hand over to the nightstand next to my bed. I pulled out a new box of condoms and pulled one out, holding it between my lips. I opened up the packaging and rolled it over my shaft, disappointed that I had to wear one but thankful that I had remembered. I moved my body between her legs and reached down, grabbing the base of my cock and stroking the shaft. She lifted her ass in the air and pulled her legs around my waist, closing her eyes and feeling the whole of my cock slide into her. I moved strong and deep, and she moaned loudly at the feeling of my cock sliding through her wetness.

It felt so good to be inside of her, and I hadn’t realized how much I wanted it until that moment. She reached her hands up and pulled me down close to her, forcing our bodies to rub up and down one another’s. Eliza was this amazing and sexual woman, and her body was like a temple to me. We mashed together and moved in motion, our breaths matching and our eyes locked onto each other’s.

I spread her legs farther apart and looked deep into her eyes as I thrust my cock deep and hard inside of her. She smiled and moaned, stretching her body out, leaving her large breasts to bounce up and down on her chest. I leaned down and ran my lips across her chest as I pushed in and out of her, feeling my balls slap against her. She reached up and grabbed the bed behind her, pulling on the mattress and arching her body into mine. I slowed down a bit and sat up, pulling her legs onto my shoulders and grasping her ass. I pulled her toward me and pushed deep inside. Then, bracing myself I began pumping fast and hard. She screamed in pleasure beneath me, and I felt her wet mound tightening and releasing around my cock. She reached down and started rubbing her clit as I pushed into her with speed, feeling my own orgasm beginning to rise.

Her moans matched the rhythm of my body and the sounds echoed through the entire apartment. As I thrust deep and hard, I could feel her body begin to tense and I knew she was about to explode. She rubbed her fingers against her clit, biting down on her lower lip and clenching her eyes shut. I wanted to feel her orgasm again, her pussy vibrating against my shaft, the flowing juices rushing around it. As she reached her peak, she lifted her hips from the bed and tilted her head back, only a slight whine escaping her throat. I moaned loudly as I felt her pussy pulsate around my shaft, and bared down on her hips, ramming my cock in as deep as I could get it. After several more thrusts, I leaned into her, letting my body rest against hers as I came hard, the orgasm sending a mixture of electricity and relaxation through every muscle in my body. She moaned loudly as her body began to relax, my cock bulging inside of her. That had to have been one of the most erotic moments of my entire life.

We lay there wrapped in each other’s arms, catching our breaths. I looked over at Eliza, and she started to giggle, still feeling the effects of her orgasms. I sat up, pulling myself to the edge of the bed and jumping up. I put my pants and shirt back on and reached out, pulling Eliza from the bed as well.

“Come on,” I said. “Let’s have some dinner. I’ll cook this time.”

I cooked dinner and laid out a blanket on the floor in front of the fireplace. We sat quietly enjoying each other’s company and filling our stomachs. When we were done eating, I cleared the dishes and put more wood on the fire. She was wearing one of my button-ups since her clothes were still soaking wet, and I sat down next to her, bringing her back against me. We sat there listening to the rain pour down over the city. The thunder rumbled above our heads, and the lightning lit up the night sky. She was so gorgeous in the light of the fire, I could barely keep my hands to myself, even after such an amazing lovemaking session. Just as I leaned over to kiss her, the lights flickered out, and we sat there in just the light from the fire.

She laughed as she watched the shadows dance across the room. I got up and went to the cupboard where I kept about a dozen candles. I set them all around the kitchen and living room, lighting each one and breathing in the scent from the jar. After the last blackout in New York, I decided it was a good idea to have candles in the cabinet just in case. Tonight, we didn’t have to have them, but it added to the ambiance of the night.

I walked over to the couch and grabbed the large fleece throw and several pillows, tossing them down next to her. We lay down on the blankets and curled up, staring out at the city. There were still lights on in other areas, and you could see the lightning crash across the sky. I kissed her shoulder and pulled the fleece up over us, making sure that she was completely covered and warm. As I drifted off to sleep, Eliza wrapped in my arms, I couldn’t help but think that I had to be the luckiest man in the world.
