CHAPTER 24: Isabelle

I was calling out to Kendra to get ready when I heard my phone from the kitchen counter. I was keeping an eye on it to see when Mason was landing, hopefully having enough time to see him for a minute before I went to work. I wasn’t sure what his plans were after such a long flight and I read through the text as I gasped.

He was coming home right now and wanted to take Kendra to school in the car that was bringing them home and he asked me to wait. I knew that she might be a bit late, but it was only adventure club and she had some time before class. I was surprised when he told me to take the day off, assuring me that we’d come right back to the condo when she was dropped off.

The day off? He was with Ken and if he approved it that was as good as it got. I smiled and looked at the shift dress that I was wearing, hoping that it would be coming off soon. Kendra walked out in her jeans and sweatshirt, carrying her shoes. I helped her get them on and grabbed her packed lunch and led her to the elevator in the main hallway to meet Mason as she looked around. “Where are we going, Mommy? The car is over there.”

“You’ll see.” I told her as we stepped in and I pushed the button for the lobby of the building. I leaned back and glanced down at her as Kendra stared at me. The door opened, and we stepped out into the crowded lobby as I took her hand and headed to the glass doors. My mind whirled as we walked; thinking about the fact that he wanted us to move in and Mason loved me.

He loved me. He loved us.

I smiled at the doorman as he held the heavy door open for us, stepping out onto the sidewalk. There was a sleek town car parked against the curb and I smiled as Kendra looked around. “What is it?”

The door of the car opened and Mason stepped out, smiling at me as our eyes locked. He tore his eyes away from me and called out Kendra’s name and she turned her head to stare at him. “Mason!!” She ran forward and jumped into his arms as I watched, feeling the emotions racing through my body. “You’re home!”

“I am. I was going to take you to school today in this car. I have a seat for you and everything,” Mason told her as he knelt on the sidewalk before her. “After school, I want to take you and your mom to dinner. Your choice. How does that sound?”

“Do I have to go to school?” She asked as he picked her up to carry her to the car, giving me a heated look.

“You are going to learn so much today and then we’ll have some fun.” Mason was looking at me as he spoke, and I blushed as heat washed over me.

“Okay.” Kendra wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m glad you’re back. I missed you.”

“I missed you, kiddo.” Mason placed her inside the car and I heard Ken greeting her as Mason followed her. I laughed as I walked over and got into the car once everyone was settled, asking Ken how the trip was. He told us about the convention and how many people that they met during the trip, looking at Mason several times during the conversation. Kendra stared at Mason with warmth in her eyes as she listened to us and I knew that she was ready for me to have someone in my life. She probably was before this but I couldn’t regret waiting for Mason. He was worth those years alone, trying to better my life.

School was still close, and we pulled up to the sidewalk as Kendra sighed dramatically. “It’s just for the day. We’re going to pick you up later together,” I told her as she narrowed her eyes at me.

“You get to stay home, don’t you?” Her voice was filled with disappointment and I smiled.

“It’s different from school. I can work from there just as easily as I can from the office and I want to spend some time with Mason.” I looked at him, seeing the hunger in his eyes as my body started to tingle.

He walked her up to the entrance along with me and we both hugged her. Some girls came by and watched for a moment before asking who he was. I giggled as she told them that he was Mason, my boyfriend. There was so much happiness in her voice and I watched them walk to their classroom for a long moment. He took my hand once she was out of sight and led me back to the car, his grip tight on me. “Now I want to get you back to the condo and rip this dress off of your body.” His voice was low, and I shivered as I glanced around. “I can’t wait to be inside of you, over and over. You’re not moving out of that bed until we need to pick Kendra up.” He pushed me playfully into the car and I laughed as I climbed onto the bench seat across from Ken, smiling as Mason moved beside me and grabbed my hand again.

“So, the day off is cool with you?” I asked Ken as he nodded.

“You both work so hard. I’ve seen the numbers. Enjoy yourselves for the day.” His eyes twinkled as he looked us over and I blushed. “I can’t wait to get home myself.”

I laughed nervously as we continued back to the condo, relieved when Mason pulled me out the door and called out to Ken that he’d talk to him later. The doorman held open the door, greeting us cheerfully as Mason hurried to the elevators. The doors opened, and he pushed me inside, kissing me as he pressed me against the back of the car. I was vaguely aware that it was empty, but I didn’t care as I wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer. We heard the ding of the door and he pulled away, staring at me before he pulled me to his door and unlocked it.

I was sore as he pulled me inside of the foyer and slammed the door, pressing me against as he kissed me without abandon. I reached out to hold onto him before I pulled his t-shirt up his muscled body. Mason pulled away from me reluctantly and stripped it off in one fluid move before he looked me up and down. “I missed you so fucking bad.” Mason cupped my face and kissed me again, softly for a moment. “I want you in my bed.”

I pushed him back and led the way to the master bedroom. I couldn’t wait to have his mouth on my body and he stopped me and pulled me back to him for another kiss. Mason reached around my back and unzipped the dress, letting it fall to the floor as I shuddered before him. Mason kissed me again, and I wrapped my legs around his body as he carried us to the bed. I was desperate to have him inside of me and moaned against his lips as our tongues danced together.

He stripped off his pants, kicking them off before he unhooked my bra. “You are so damn beautiful.” Mason leaned down to kiss my jaw as I let out a happy sigh. His hands slid up my sides and stroked the soft skin underneath my breast as I cried out. My nipples were pebbled and needy as his fingers found them and squeezed gently, causing me to arch my back against him. He kissed my neck, arching above me so he could tease me by kissing slowly down my body as he rubbed his thumbs against me.

I cried out as his mouth wrapped around one, sucking it firmly into his mouth. I felt his teeth dragging against me and felt a warmth between my legs, soaking the lace of my underwear. Mason reached down and stroked me, pulling away for a moment to tell me that he could smell how badly I wanted him. I whimpered as he teased the other nipple with his mouth and teeth before moving down my stomach.

A week without Mason was too long. I didn’t know how I’d handle it ever again as he slipped the panties down my legs and slipped a finger inside of me. He slid it inside and out slowly as I wrapped around him, telling me how hard he was going to fuck me. I felt the void of his hand and then his warm breath on me before he pressed his mouth against my pussy. I arched up, offering more of myself to him as I slid a hand into his hair. Mason started my licking me all over, drinking in my arousal as I ceased to recognize the sounds coming out of my mouth. He found my clit with his tongue, stroking it repeatedly until I was begging to come. Mason sucked it into his mouth and bit down as I felt my body let go.

It was intense and so long as he slid his finger back inside of me and stroked my sensitive walls slowly. I closed my eyes and breathed in, still feeling desire as I enjoyed the aftershocks. “I love you,” I murmured as he rested his face against my stomach.

“I love you… more than I have ever loved anyone else. It’s the best feeling that I’ve ever had.” Mason smiled lazily at me as I met his eyes. “I missed you both.”

“Can I show you how much I missed you?” I asked as he raised an eyebrow at me. Mason pulled away and crawled up my body as I watched his hard cock get closer to my mouth. I reached for some pillows and propped my head up further and then reached out to pull him into my mouth.

Mason was thick and warm as he moved inside of my mouth, pressing back into my throat as I moaned. I loved the feeling of Mason inside of me in nearly every possible way and I wrapped my mouth tighter around him. He rocked against me and I welcomed him, feeling him slide deeper inside of me as he thickened. I knew that he was coming as he jerked against me and prepared to swallow every drop. I was shy about this in the past but with Mason, I was willing to do anything that he wanted. He stilled as he released, moaning my name as I took it all.

Mason pulled out and dropped beside me, breathing raggedly as he closed his eyes. I took this time to look at him, flawless on the bed beside me. I never thought I would have someone like Mason in my life. Jackson had such a way of making me feel like I was disposable and once I was pregnant, I believed it to be true. I thought that I needed to try to be the best mother I could be and make up for the faults that I had as a girlfriend.

Mason made me feel sexy in the bedroom and intelligent at work. He gave me the confidence that I was lacking and the love that I’d been craving. He opened his eyes and looked over at me, smiling gently. “See something that you like?”

“I sure hope that you’re not done with me,” I teased him as he glanced down at his cock. He was already half-hard, and I chuckled as I reached my hands under the pillow and offered him a full view of my body. Mason stretched and showed off his six pack abs as I licked my lips.

He moved slowly, reaching for a condom before he sheathed himself between my legs. “I want to find a way to do this bare, Isabelle.”

“Should we try some other form of birth control?” I asked as he slid inside of me. I gasped as he stretched me, making me feel like it was the first time for me. I always felt that way with Mason and I hoped that it was always this passionate. We started to rock together, needing to come together as I gripped his back. I clawed at him as I thrust against him, needing him deeper. Mason moved harder, filling me as I wrapped my legs around him. I knew that I was going to come soon and cried out his name as I pulled him closer.

I came a beat before he did, and Mason roared my name as he jerked inside of me. He pressed his face into my neck and breathed in as I held him, still shaking above me. We stayed this way until he rolled over and asked if I was hungry.
