Chapter 22
~~ MICHAEL ~~
Christ. Lily was hot and heavy against me and her closeness was playing havoc with not only my body, but with my intentions too. I never meant for that to happen. Oh yeah, I wanted it to happen, but not while she was unavailable.
She was in my arms and my tongue was still wrapped around hers. All my blood had traveled south, giving me one hell of an erection and if she didn’t stop wiggling around, I was going to explode in my jeans.
She continued to rub her p-ssy against my cock. I smoothed my hands down her back and took a firm hold of her hips. I pushed her down onto me as I arched up into her. She started to make whimpering noises – she was close.
I kept her pressed tight into me as I slowly pushed my hips up into her while I kissed the life out of her. She pulled her mouth away and looked straight into my eyes.
Then it hit. “Oh god, Michael.” She came apart in my arms. Her orgasm seemed to go on and on. I just held on tight and tried not to join her.
I held a limp Lily in my arms with her still sitting astride my erection. It was both heaven and hell wrapped in the sweetest torture. I breathed deeply just as Lily moved her head from my shoulder and looked at me.
“Michael, you need to….”
I shook my head. “No.”
With unsteady legs, Lily climbed from my lap then knelt back down between my legs and looked at the obvious bulge in my jeans. She looked uncertain and then she had my jeans unzipped before I could get my befuddled brain to work. I grabbed hold of her wrist. “Lily no.”
“You’ve given me the best damn orgasm and you’re uncomfortable, so let me take care of you.” Grinning, she moved back to my crotch. Hell, I was an idiot.
I stood, forcing Lily’s hands to fall away. “Lily, I want nothing more than to have your hands and mouth on me, but when that happens we’ll need a bed and more time than what we have.” I held my hand out and helped her up from the floor.
I quickly refastened my jeans and pulled her back into my arms for a hug. “I really didn’t mean for all that to happen, you caught me at a weak moment. But I’m not sorry it did. God, I could never be sorry for having you hungry in my arms.”
“I’m not sorry either.” She kissed my chest and stepped out of my arms. “Do you want to talk about the picnic? It might be safer.”
“Um, about that,” I met her eyes, “that was the excuse I used to get you to myself for the day, without work getting involved.” I laughed at the look on her face. “Although I have to say, I wasn’t expecting to react quite the way I did with my brothers over you. Other than to double check there isn’t any problems with everyone we’ve booked, there’s nothing to do.”
“I should be pissed, but I’m not. I’ve enjoyed meeting your family and getting a good look in the barn!” She grinned.
“Is it safe to enter?” Ramon asked.
Lily quickly passed a glance to my groin and then met my eyes. She smirked.
“It’s safe.” She shouted back.
Ramon walked in and stopped a distance away, probably wanting to stay safe with how I’d been acting.
He grinned. “Mom wanted me to come and check that everything was all right. I guess she didn’t want to catch you with your jeans around your ankles.”
Lily started to giggle, which ended in a full belly laugh. She covered her face to try and hide the fact, but it didn’t help.
I couldn’t help, but return her grin. “We haven’t gotten that far…. yet!”
“I really did not need to know that. I also think George is anxious to get back, something about a date with a lady named Janet.”
I looked at him, shocked. The crafty devil, he never so much as breathed a word to me. “Come on.” I took hold of Lily’s hand. “Let’s go and embarrass George.”
“You’ll do nothing of the sort,” Lily said as I frowned down at her. “I think it’s sweet.”
I groaned and Ramon laughed behind us. He knew damn well that Lily had me wrapped around her finger.
I pulled her with me as I walked to where George was standing to the side of the car with my parents. The sight filled me with both hope and dread. I just prayed Lily didn’t have second thoughts about anything that was going to happen between us. I was her boss, which I knew bothered her, but I had no intention of letting that come between us. Hopefully after this afternoon, she’d leave David. I wasn’t going to be able to wait much longer. It drove me crazy knowing she was going home to him instead of with me.
I wanted nothing more than to ask her to move in with me, but I didn’t want her to have any regrets. I needed her to come to me on her own without my influence, although I guess I should have left her alone this afternoon. Until she was free, I was going to keep my hands to myself, no matter how many cold showers I had to take.
“George! What’s this I hear about Janet?” He blushed – a lot. I grinned and turned to my parents. “Mom, Dad, thanks for lunch, although I didn’t eat a great deal, it was good seeing you both.”
“Likewise son.” My dad hugged me and stepped to Lily as my mom hugged me hard.
“She’s lovely, Michael. Don’t screw it up. She’s nothing like Viv,” Mom whispered. I kissed her on the cheek before I stepped back and helped Lily into the car.
As soon as the car doors shut, I pulled Lily back into my arms. “Let me hold you. We’ll be back in the real world soon.” She snuggled more into me, which made my heart pound. The erection which had stayed semi-erect after the barn had shot back to full attention and was pushing against my zipper – it wanted freedom.
With Lily against me, I used my other hand to try and rearrange it to a more comfortable position, but of course Lily caught me.
“Would you like a hand with that?” She offered. I chuckled.
“You stay away from there.” Just to be sure, I took hold of the hand that rested on my chest and, after kissing her palm, held it against my chest.
“Michael, will you tell me about your past?”
I sighed. What she wanted to know was about what I’d told her about Viv in the barn. “We were married for three years. In that three years, she slept with more men that I can count, and those are the ones I know about. It took me a while to realize that she was the one with the commitment problem and it had nothing to do with me. I guess I wasn’t enough for her to stay loyal. But I didn’t love her, Lily. I thought I did, but when it all came to a head, I was pissed, but not heartbroken. Although I wanted her out of my life I didn’t wish her dead. That happened in a car crash on the way to see the lawyers about the divorce. Her flavor of the month was driving.”
She tightened her hold on me. “I’m sorry, Michael. You didn’t deserve all that.”
She kissed my chest. “You’re enough for me. I feel burned every time you touch me.”
My erection did a jump at her words, so I thought it would be best to change the direction of the conversation before George got one hell of a view. A view only meant for my eyes.
Three days. That was all it took for her to get under my skin.
I held her close all the way to her apartment building, not wanting to let her go.
She moved away from me and straightened her ponytail, which had gone lopsided during the car ride back to the city. “Michael,” she said so quietly. She turned her head to look out of the window. I watched her gulp and my heart dropped. She turned back to me. “We can’t be close again until I’m free.” She wiped a lone tear away. “It won’t be easy for me, but I have to keep my distance from you.”
I reached out for her and pulled her into my arms. “Lily, it’s okay. I’ll wait for you. Always.”
She sniffled into my chest. “I promise you that you have nothing to worry about. We may share a bed but he won’t touch me.”
“Okay,” I choked out. I pulled away and opened the car door. When I stepped out, Lily followed close behind.
She took a deep breath and met my eyes. “Thank you for today. You have no idea how much I enjoyed being with you and your family. I look forward to doing it again.”
I was actually at a loss for words. I wanted to grab her and take her home with me and to not let David anywhere near her. She started to move away from me and caressed my hand as she passed.
“Goodbye Lily,” I whispered.
I stood outside the car and held onto the door to prevent myself from going after her. I just watched as she walked up the steps and then disappeared through the security doors.
