CHAPTER 14

Vivian

I reached for my tea, sipping it slowly as I took a break from studying for my test. I glanced back towards my bedroom, knowing that my phone was charging in there. I didn’t want the distraction of Boyce even though he was in my every thought. I heard something in his voice when he mentioned moving on from what we had, and it scared me. He sounded like I felt inside, and I sighed.

I adjusted my messy bun and looked down at the book in my lap. I knew most of the information by now since I remembered things easily, but there was that fuzzy part of my brain that was lost in thoughts of Boyce. I knew that I cared for him as more than just an affair though the idea of how forbidden it was did excite me. It was something that would always make me smile even when my heart was breaking when he was gone. Boyce showed me a taste of what life might be like when I was older and getting past college and I loved the preview. My parents always told me that I was an old soul and they were right.

I stretched and yawned before starting on the book again. I had a test every day this week and it was going to be a long one, making me thankful that I was getting away this weekend. I needed the bay and my room with the breeze. I loved my little town here, but I didn’t think it would ever feel like home to me. Bella was loving New York and talking about staying there for an extra week at Christmas if she got a part in a play. She’d be home for the main holiday but leaving just a couple of days afterward. I selfishly felt happy that I’d be alone with Boyce during that time. Family would be at the house for meals and the main celebrations, but we’d be alone at night. I craved the idea of sleeping in his bed for several nights, making love until we fell asleep from exhaustion. I could make breakfast and play house with Boyce and I closed my eyes and sighed.

I hadn’t spoken to him in a couple of days. I was trying to focus on school and just stepping back a little bit. I could get myself off with the gifts that he sent me, and I did, but it wasn’t the same without his dirty talk urging me to go harder. I needed to hear him coming as well, knowing that I was the one turning him on. I also liked to think that he was being exclusive to me for this time even though we didn’t discuss it in detail.

I read for another forty-five minutes before standing to head to the bathroom. I washed my hands before stepping into my bedroom, my eyes zoning on the blinking lights of my phone. I walked over quickly and picked it up, noting that it was charged before unplugging it. I saw that Boyce had called for the third time in two days and swiped across the screen to call him back, sitting on the bed as the phone rang. “I thought you were dead,” Boyce told me as I rolled my eyes.

“Just busy with school. How are you?” I asked as I smiled at the sound of his voice.

“Busy with work. Are you still coming on Friday?” He asked, and I let out a breath. He was looking forward to it like I was.

“Yeah, of course. I’ve been studying my ass off here, so I am looking forward to relaxing a bit. I miss the water,” I admitted as I dropped back onto the pillows. “I miss you.”

“I miss you, Vivian. You know this isn’t just going to fade away, don’t you?” His voice was low as I shivered. “There’s enough heat here to keep this fire burning for a while. There’s comfort and familiarity with you.”

“It seems like that should be keeping us apart,” I told him carefully as I felt the fear of approaching this subject again.

“Probably but I am not going to get enough of you anytime soon.” Boyce promised me as I blushed. We chatted for a few minutes before I heard the rasp in his voice and slid my hand between my legs. I’d been missing our nightly chats. We moved quickly to sex and I just used my fingers to stroke my clit to the sound of his voice, feeling the tingling in my pussy. Boyce jerked himself off as he told me what to do and we came together as I felt myself explode. I counted the days until Friday as I recovered, knowing that I’d be seeing him in a couple of days. We ended the call with a promise to talk the following night and I dropped my cell phone to the bed.

It took all the strength that I had to move myself and make more tea. I still needed to study even if I did feel like jello. I returned to the couch and kept reading, repeating the things in my head that I needed to know. I felt like I worked Boyce out of my head enough to get through the following day and I kept studying until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I dropped down on the couch, shoving my stuff to the floor as I breathed on and memorized the way my body was still tingling.

I got through the next couple of days of tests and studying through the night, thankful for the breaks to talk to Boyce. I enjoyed the release that he offered me and just hearing his voice made me think of home. I had not felt as comfortable with anyone else the way that I did Boyce and that was part of what made this so easy for me. I promised him before hanging up on Thursday night that I’d see him the following day. I stayed up another few hours to study and dropped into bed knowing that I was going to be tired the following morning.

I finished my last test in the afternoon, certain that I aced all of them. I headed out of my class and towards the street to get to my apartment and pack a bag. “Viv! Wait for me!” I turned to see Miranda approaching me and stood still, wondering what she wanted. “Want to go dancing tonight? A bunch of us will be going.”

I pretended to be sad and shrugged. “I’m heading home for the weekend. Plans with friends there. I’m sorry.”

“That’s probably best. Billy was going to go.” I frowned and nodded as if I cared.

“Next time. I just made the plans this week and I’m leaving today. Have fun and you can tell me all about it next week.” I smiled brightly, feigning enthusiasm for her as Miranda frowned.

“Are you going to see a guy? You look awfully happy.” Shit. I needed to stop this conversation quickly and ran a hand through my hair.

“There’s a guy there, but it’s casual. We knew that going in with college and all.” I would never tell anyone who it was. “It’s just fun times when I’m home, but I did make plans with friends. This week was so long with tests!”

“Wasn’t it though? I am not driving tonight for that reason.” She seemed to forget about what we were talking about as we chatted about our tests. Miranda saw someone that was going tonight and hugged me before running off, calling back for me to have fun. I turned and walked towards the gate that led to the main street, noting that Billy was watching me from several feet away. He had a scowl on his face and I dropped my head down, ducking through the gate and hurrying towards my apartment. It was just one night, and I didn’t see why he was still thinking about it. He could do the same thing with most any girl on campus.

I forgot about him as I packed for the trip. I’d looked back several times on my walk to make sure nobody was following me. There were several students walking back to their homes, but none seemed to notice me. I turned on some music and sang as I packed mostly casual clothes and a few things in case we went out. I was too tired for that tonight but there was still tomorrow. Once I had everything I needed, I zipped up the bag and took a quick look around. I grabbed my purse and keys and locked up before heading to my car.

I turned on a good station for the drive home, singing along to the songs as I watched the sun move closer to the horizon. It was setting just as I crossed over the bridge, painting the world in vibrant shades of gold and purple. I took the exit to get to the house and drove a little faster down the main road to get there quicker. I saw the driveway and pulled in with a wide smile, parking in the garage as I noticed that Boyce was home. I popped out of my car and walked inside, calling his name as my heart pounded in my chest. “Boyce. I’m home!” I called out as I walked through the living room, certain that we were alone.

“I’m upstairs, Vivian.” I followed the sound of his sexy voice and walked into his room to see him fresh out of a shower. I licked my lips and walked towards him, eying the towel wrapped around his waist.

“Are we alone?” I asked as he nodded slowly, staring at me hungrily.

“All weekend. I am giving all the staff weekends off for the time being. There’s no need for them now.” Boyce reached his hand out to me and pulled me against him as I gasped, wrapping my arms around his neck. “Hi.”

“Hi,” I whispered before crashing my lips to his and feeling his tongue slide into my mouth. Boyce’s kisses were slow and sensual as he slowly explored my eager mouth and my body reacted in kind. I was weak in the knees and my thighs ached with need. He lifted me and carried me to the bed, dropping me down as he hovered over me. Boyce kissed me again and I ran my hands through his damp hair as we pressed together.

“You taste like sin,” Boyce told me before kissing me softly again.

“I am a sin for you,” I reminded him as he moved to my jaw and kissed it heavily. I let out a moan as he moved down my neck, finding the soft skin there before he sucked it into his mouth. In between kisses, Boyce undressed me and finally tossed the towel aside before he moved his head over my pebbled nipples. I moaned as he sucked one into his mouth, dragging his teeth over my skin as I clawed at his back. “Boyce. I need you.”

“Did you pack any of your toys?” He asked as I blushed. I had brought my favorites along and he chuckled as he lifted his face to look at me.

“In the car.”

“I am going to make you come on my own for now. I can’t even think of leaving you here.” Boyce squeezed my breasts and played with one nipple while sucking the other, alternating as I cried out with every move. His free hand moved down my stomach and between my legs, finding me wet and ready for him. He stroked my firm clit before sliding two fingers inside of me to stroke my inner walls. I rocked against his hand as he moved back to watch, coming hard as his thumb found my clit. Boyce wasted no time in kneeling before me to taste me, lapping my juices as I wrapped my hands in his hair. He ate away at me before pulling away, leaving me empty. “I want you to sit on my face and get me off the same time as I am you.” I’d never done that, and fear and excitement rushed through me as I stared down at him. “I’ll take you from behind after we’re done.”

I watched as he stretched out on his back and looked at me expectantly. I moved into position, looking down as he wrapped his thick arms around my thighs. I lowered myself against his mouth, feeling him suck my clit into his mouth as I groaned and looked at his hard cock. I leaned forward as he held me still, taking him in my hand before I wrapped my mouth around him. Boyce always felt good like this. He filled me and moved back into my throat, but I’d grown used to that by now. I knew what to do and I bobbed over him, tightening my mouth as I moved. I added the slightest hint of teeth as he moaned and bit down on my clit, making me jerk slightly in his grip.

We kept on until we were both ready to go over the edge and I screamed as my release washed over his face. Boyce held on tight as he jerked into my mouth, coming down my throat as I swallowed him like a starving child. It was thick and salty as I drank him in, making suckling sounds as he slowly licked me clean. I pulled away as the fatigue set in and rolled to the side, onto my back to I could look at him. His mouth and chin were glistening with me and I smiled uncontrollably. “Fucking great,” Boyce told me as I blushed. “Give me a second and I’ll fulfill my promise.”

“No worries. I’m still soaring from that,” I assured him as Boyce chuckled.

“That was nothing, Viv. I am going to fuck you senseless,” he promised me with a carnal look in his eyes that made me shiver. Boyce moved to kiss me hard, making me part my lips and taste myself as I pulled him closer. I never thought I’d want this, but I sucked the taste into my mouth hungrily as he moaned against me. “Turn over.” Boyce barked as I moved to my knees once he released me. He gripped my hip with one hand and slapped my ass with the other, watching my thighs as they grew slick with want. I gasped as he plunged inside of me hard and fast, making me scream with the way that he filled me.

This was everything and I cried out as I rocked against him, taking him deeper inside. I loved fucking Boyce and moved closer to another orgasm as I felt my breath hitch in my throat. He moved back inside and scraped against my walls and I came again, just as hard as the other times. I dropped down to the mattress as he came inside of me, mixing with my own juices as I imagined getting pregnant by Boyce for a fleeting moment. I shoved the idea away as he pulled out and leaned down to kiss the damp skin of my back tenderly. “Welcome home,” Boyce told me as I smiled and rolled to my side. “Do you just want to stay in tonight? I know you had a long week.”

“That sounds great. I’d love to just have dinner and hang out in here. Maybe watch a movie?” I suggested as Boyce moved to slip an arm over my body.

“That’s perfect.” We rested together for a while as I basked in the quiet of the house and scent of our sex that filled the room. I was tired and could fall asleep easily like this. I was drifting off when Boyce asked me if I wanted grilled steak and veggies for dinner, and I opened my eyes and nodded. “Want to nap while I’m cooking?” His voice was gentle and his eyes warm as he looked down at me and I licked my lips slowly.

I could taste both of us.

“I might take a quick shower to freshen up, if that’s okay? I don’t want to go to sleep right now.” I told him as he nodded and leaned down to kiss me.

“Help yourself. I’ll be out back.” Boyce left the room after pulling on some clothes and I rolled over and stretched. I grabbed a robe to wear downstairs to my own shower, filled with all my favorite things. I washed my body under the hot water, washing and conditioning my hair before stepping out to dry off. I found some leggings that I’d left here and an oversized t-shirt to wear and brushed my hair our before pulling it into a messy bun. I went to the fridge for a cold water and walked out back to see Boyce manning the massive grill.

“Smells good,” I offered, inhaling deeply.

“I had Anne pick up some filets at the store for us and there’s fresh zucchini.” Both of those were my favorites and I smiled as I walked towards him. He had a bottle of beer beside him, sipping it as he looked at me out of the corner of his eye. “How was the shower?”

“It felt great. I think I can stay awake for a while now.” I wanted to kiss him and looked around, aware that the backward was private but still not willing to risk being seen. It was dark out now but the flames from the charcoal offered a bright light.

“I have no problem going back to bed with you,” Boyce told me softly as I giggled, feeling like I was on top of the world. I went in to make us a salad to go with dinner, bringing it to the outdoor table to eat. It was still nice out and we both loved to take advantage of the warmth before the cold weather came.
