CHAPTER 12
Declan
I woke up after a couple of hours, thirsty but reluctant to move. I slowly stretched and slipped out of bed, looking at Rayna curled up into a fetal position with a soft smile on her face. I walked to the kitchen, buck naked and smiling before I grabbed water from the fridge.
No woman ever made me feel this way before.
Claire was fun but more comfortable for me. That seemed enough at the time. I looked out of my windows, seeing the city in the late afternoon sun as my mind moved more into the night. I remembered that she said there was a bag in the car and I slipped my feet into some sandals to go out to her car, flipping on the light switch as I looked over the sleek SUV. At least James wanted his wife in a safe vehicle. I tested the passenger side door, finding it open as I pulled gently on it. I saw the purple duffel bag in the back seat and made my way to that door to pull it out. I tested the weight, guessing that it was good for a couple of nights if she was a low maintenance woman.
Taking it into the house, I carried it to the bedroom and set it gently by the bed. She was now turned towards me, showing off her gorgeous body in her sleep without inhibitions. I noticed that about her when we were together, despite the obvious work in the gym that she was doing. Her planes were defined and sexy with a few curves remaining, and she drove me insane. I was a regular at the gym myself, but I disliked the too skinny women there, and even the ones that were going for too much muscle. I wanted them to look feminine, and I felt the ache between my legs as I looked her over hungrily. I wanted to be inside of her again, and I licked my lips slowly as I told my cock to calm down. She worked all night and needed the rest. There would be plenty of time later after I took her somewhere nice for dinner and conversation. I couldn’t wait to watch her face as we talked closely together, sipping wine and enjoying a meal.
I looked at the clock, seeing that it was now four-thirty. It would be a late dinner, but I liked those, being used to that with my job. I worked a lot and often ate late into the night, which made my gyms visits more intense. I chuckled to myself as I thought about the workouts that I’d be getting at home now. Those were the kind that I preferred, particularly with a woman as beautiful as Rayna.
I was watching a game on the couch, dressed in some shorts when I sensed someone in the hallway. I glanced up to see Rayna walking in dressed in my robe with a sheepish smile on her face. “Hi. I slept so long, Declan. I’m sorry.”
“You were tired from work, Rayna. It’s fine,” I assured her as she looked at me, making my cock hard all over again under the soft material of my shorts. My robe was large on her, but I could imagine all too well what was underneath it as I looked her over with a smile. She shuffled over towards me, dropping on the couch as I felt something race though my body that scared me. I felt my arm reach out to pull her closer to me, smiling as she melted into me.
“What were your plans?” Her voice was soft, and I felt her face move towards mine as I turned my head to find her lips. I kept it as brief as I could, more than just a peck but not a full make out session.
“I’d like to get out of town and go to dinner with you. I don’t know what you packed in the bag, but I brought it in for you,” I told Rayna as I got lost in her drowsy gaze.
“That sounds nice. I’ll need a shower first,” she replied as her eyes invited me to join her. “I have some things in the bag that will work as long as it’s not a fancy place.”
“Not at all. Good food in an intimate setting. I just want a place that we feel comfortable where we can talk a bit.” I smiled at her. “Did you want help in the shower, Rayna?”
She managed to drink some water before we were rushing into my big shower, naked as she looked around with an impressed gaze. “You know, for a smaller house this is impressive.”
“I make the most of what I’ve got,” I teased her as I pulled her under the hot water. She laughed as she dropped her head back to soak her hair, giving me a good view of her gorgeous breasts. They weren’t large but a nice handful and incredibly fun to suck on as I reached out for one of them. “You’re so beautiful, Rayna.”
I watched her flush as she lifted her face to look at me, wonder in the beautiful orbs. I was stroking her hardening nipple by now, and I felt her hand slide down my stomach to my cock, already half-hard. “I am?” She asked in a shaking voice as I nodded, feeling myself harden further. Her hand gripped me, stroking slowly as I pinched her nipple.
“I feel like a fucking teenager with you,” I told her as I closed my eyes and gave into the feeling, even though I wanted to come inside of her. I only opened them when she slid down to take me into her mouth, slow and deep. There had been a point during our first night that she did this, hunched over my body on the bed. I wanted to record it since it was so hot. Now was no different. I stayed still, giving her control as she sucked me into her throat slowly to adjust. God, her mouth was so hot and wet, and I knew that I could fill her with me as I slipped my hands slowly into her damp hair. I couldn’t help but rock with her, slowly so I wouldn’t gag her but enough to get a rhythm going as I told her to play with her clit. I knew that she was wet right now and I wanted her ready when I lifted her against me to fuck her.
I was close to coming when I pulled away from her and lifted her wet body up, seeing the surprise in her eyes. “You don’t want me to finish?” She had asked before I was inside of her, making her eyes roll back into her head. “Oh, God.”
“There is a lot of time for everything, but I am going to be inside of you. A lot.” I thrust up as she whimpered, clinging to my neck tightly. Her nipples were hard against my chest, and I knew how sensitive she was as she slid against me with my movements, hearing her moan. Every noise that she made turned me on more, and I fucked her harder as I pressed her against the gray tiles of the shower, taking her hard and deep.
We came together, our cried echoing through the bathroom as she dropped her head against the wall. I let her go, sucking in deep breaths as she leaned against me and kissed my chest. I gave us a few minutes before I washed her hair for her and then her body, soaping her everywhere as my hands roamed her body slowly. She giggled and did the same for me when I was done, jumping out of the shower to grab a towel as I reached for her again. “I’m hungry!”
I was as well, and I grudgingly dried myself off. I dressed in some worn jeans and a green button up shirt while she dug into her bag, the towel still wrapped around her body. She grinned as she pulled something out and shook out a dress that looked clingy, featuring an animal print as I eyed it. It seemed to move with every shake of her hand, and I knew that it was going to drive me insane all night.
She dressed after she dried her hair into loose waves and applied a little makeup. I told her that we were going to drive a bit so we could be alone together without fear of being seen and I noticed the look in her eyes as she stroked mascara onto her lashes. It was a mixture of regret and relief. “I’m sorry.” Rayna’s voice was soft, and I looked at her as I finished buttoning up my shirt. “I feel like this is such an inconvenience for you.”
I swallowed as I stepped towards her. “That isn’t the part about this that bothers me.” Rayna looked at me for a moment in the mirror. “I just hate that he hurts you, Rayna. I want to keep you safe, during this time that we have as well as beyond that.”
“I’m okay, Dec.” My heart picked up at the sounds of a nickname coming from her lips. “I just want you happy.”
She finished getting ready after an awkward moment of silence, and I watched as she slid the dress over the matching bra and underwear. It was clingy and swished around her lower thighs when she walked. Fuck me, but it was sexy. I offered her a protein bar before we left along with some water, knowing that we had a drive ahead of us tonight. She smiled and took it, letting me lead her to the SUV that was to the right of the long driveway as I opened her door. Rayna smiled at me, and I closed the door as my heart picked up yet again.
I drove us to San Diego and found a small seafood place that I loved, seeing her give me a surprised look. “San Diego?”
“Just a little drive,” I assured her as I hopped out and went to get her door. Her heels clicked as she stepped out onto the pavement, her dress sliding up just a bit as I watched. I took her hand, and she licked her dark lips as she looked around slowly. We walked inside and were promptly seated in a private corner where we could see the wharf.
I got to knew her on a deeper lever, feeling the loneliness in her voice as she spoke of growing up with nannies and chefs instead of her parents. They were both working or traveling, but Rayna did observe the lack of love between them and often. For a while, she thought that was how things were until she got her first crush in middle school.
Sadly, it was the way things were, and she knew soon after that crush that she was going to marry James. He was a player in school, but her mom told her that didn’t matter when Rayna voiced her concerns. It was an excellent pairing and would bring two successful businesses together, giving her a stable financial future. Rayna’s mom never came out and told her that her father cheated, but it was implied.
There was a part of her that wanted to fight this with all that she had. Rayna watched James sleep his way through high school and even college as she tried to stay in the background. She didn’t date because Rayna didn’t want to get attached to anyone, or worse yet, have them get attached to her. She could leave everything behind and start over, but her parents were her financial support, and she was too scared to go and find a job, a new life.
She married James when he was two years into college, and she was working at her Dad’s firm. It was just a casual thing until she was married and popping out babies to carry on her name, but both Rayna and James pushed that off. They used condoms even though she was on the pill for rough periods, never telling him that. Rayna feared getting an STD, so she decided to push him into still using protection, but their sex life was never great, to begin with.
