TRAVIS
That's it. I've made my decision. I can't keep going back-and-forth with myself. I have tried to take Clark's advice to heart. That's why I haven't made another move on Paige. It's been a month since our conversation on the golf course, but nothing has changed between us. I have tried, really, I have. However, I am not able to get her out of my blood.
I know she wants me. What I don't know is just how much. Does she want me enough to be with me? I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
Everything happens in such a blur. First, I grab myPorschekeys. The next thing I know I am double parked outside Paige's apartment. I don't care if I get a ticket or even get towed. What I need to do is more pressing than any of that.
It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday evening. So chances are the Paige isn't even home, but I still have to try.
I get out of my car and race up the steps to her front door. I take them two at a time. Once at the top, withoutstopping to take a breath, I press her doorbell twice in rapid succession and wait.
I am starting to think no one is home when I hear movement from within the brownstone. A moment later, the front door opens. Standing in front of me, barefoot and in nothing but a silk robe is Paige. Her hair is in a messy bun piled on top of her head.
She looks like she just rolled out of bed and isn't happy about it. Her eyes are murderous at first, but when she sees it's me, they soften.
"Travis, what are you doing here?" She rubs sleep from her eyes.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you."
"Okay..." She steps out of the way and I walk into her house.
We stare at each other in her foyer for a long while. I look over her shoulder and get a glimpse of her living and dining rooms from where I'm standing. From what I can see, she's put a lot of thought into the decor, and she has done an astounding job because her home feels like her. It's sophisticated yet homey with modern but warm furniture in various shades of green, brown, black and white.
"What's going on? Why won't you look at me?" she asks.
I offer a weak chuckle. "I guess I'm nervous."
"Nervous about what?" She pulls her robe tighter around her midriff, causing the material to open a little at the top, revealing more of her breasts. I can't help it, my eyes dip down and I am transfixed. She snaps fingers in my face. "Hey! What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong." I run a hand through my hair. "Paige, I can't stop thinking about you."
"What?" Her face goes blank.
"Yeah. Ever since I met you, you're all I can think about. Ihad hoped it would die down after a while, but it hasn't. It's been months now but I can't get you out of my head."
"Oh..." The way she says that isn't so encouraging, but I press forward.
"I know we said that night in your office was a one-time thing, but I want to ask you, do you feel the same way about me that I do for you? Even a little?"
She looks up at me silently for a long while. If it weren't for her shoulders moving up and down with each breath she takes I would probably think she had been turned to stone. I take a step closer to her. "Look, if you don't feel the same way about me, just say it. It's fine. I can take it."
She breathes deep then says, "I do feel the same way about you."
I release a breath I hadn't even been aware I was holding. "Well then, I think that since we both have such intense feelings toward each other maybe we should try this out and see what happens?"
She retreats from me until her back hits the wall behind her. "I don't know."
"What are you worried about?"
"Many things. First of all, we work together. In fact, you're my boss. Things could get very complicated professionally if things don't work out between us. There's also the age difference. We are both in very different places right now. At the moment I am not playing around in my love life. I'm dating to marry. I was hoping to end up with someone more similar to myself in age because I would like to have children someday. I don't know where you stand on all those things."
"I'm not going to lie to you and say I intend to get married to and have kids with you. All I know right now isthat I want you."
"That's exactly what I'm not doing anymore. I'm not leaving things up to chance like I did when I was younger. I made a promise to myself that I wasn't even going to casually date anyone who didn't want the same things as I do."
I close the distance between us. "I understand where you're coming from, and if you say you don't want to pursue anything with me, I will respect that. However, if you feel even a quarter for me as I do for you, will you be able to walk away from this? Even if we don't end up going the distance I know for a fact that I would always wonder what could have been. Knowing you, you will too. Is that what you want? 10 years from now to be married to someone else wondering what could have been?"
I can literally see the cogs turning in her head as my words break down her walls. Her eyes shift from side to side as she convinces herself, then they land on mine.
I know it's a risk, but I take it anyway. I lean down and take her lips in a soft kiss.
After a little taste I pull away. "Was that all right?"
She nods. I dive back in for another, but this time it's a little more fevered. My hands find hers. Then I move and pin them above her head as we lap at each other's lips.
I breakaway and say, "Paige, I need you right now."
With a smirk, she bucks me off her and I allow myself to break away from her and stumble back. She steps forward, takes me by the hand and runs up her staircase. She walks me through a door I assume leads to her room and closes it behind us.
She lets go of my hand and takes a couple steps back. Her hand goes to the bow holding her robe together. She loosens it. After it falls open, she pushes it off her shoulders and the delicate material pools at her feet, leaving her standing in front of me gloriously naked.
I honestly have never seen a woman more beautiful than she is. Standing there she looks like Venus emerging from the sea on the clamshell. Her full breasts sit perky on her chest. Her torso goes in at her waist then flares back out again at her hips, creating the perfect hourglass shape.
I am painfully hard. I reach down and squeeze my cock through my jeans and an involuntary groan escapes me.
I close the distance between us and Paige's breath catches when I stop in front of her. I raise a hand and brush my knuckles across her nipple and she shudders. That same hand goes to the small of her back. I pull her body against mine while my other hand goes to the nape of her neck where I hold her in place. I lower my lips to hers once more, and I am lost in her yet again.
Moments later I take a step back and in record time strip myself of my clothing. Now I am just as naked as she is.
My throbbing cock juts out from my abdomen as if reaching for her, and she answers. She steps up to me and gingerly grabs me in the palm of her hand, and I see stars. She jerks me once, twice, thrice, and I've had enough.
She yelps as I lean down and scoop her up into my arms. I carry her over to the bed, and as I throw her onto it a cloud of her scent rises to meet me and my brain almost short circuits. I climb in between her legs and rub myself against her mound and she rises to meet me. She whimpers when I lower my head and take one of her nipples into my mouth while I tweak the other with my hand. I slowly and deliberately kiss my way down her abdomen until I am staring her pussy in the face.
I lower my head and drag my tongue between her pussy lips as she quakes beneath me. She tastes delicious.
"Do you likethat?" I smile.
She answers by grabbing the back of my head and shoving my face into her crotch.
A weak chuckle leaves me just before my lips reconnect with her pussy. I eat her out with so much vigor. I cannot get enough. As my lips and tongue go to town, my hand reaches for her clit and it doesn't take long before she rides out her orgasm on my face.
I wipe my mouth on my forearm then crawl up her body. I stare into her eyes as I line my dick up with her entrance.
"Wait... Do you have a condom?"
Oh, right. I climb off her and retrieve my pants from where I left them. I pull a foil package from my back pocket and in no time I have rolled the condom over my needy cock. Then I am back between her legs. I drag the head of my cock up and down her entrance, then ever so slowly sink into her, excruciating inch by excruciating inch. She closes her eyes and bites her bottom lip. Her legs come up and wind around my waist as I bottom out in her.
Both of our breaths are labored, but it's when her eyes flutter open and she smiles at me that I pull out and drive myself back into her. The garbled sound that escapes her is easily the most erotic thing I have ever heard. I want to hear more of it. I pull out of her and slam back in, over and over and she sounds lost in ecstasy. I increase my pace with each thrust. The faster I go, the louder Paige gets, and it is music to my ears.
It doesn't take long to feel my balls tense up. A few more thrusts and I am erupting within her. As I cum, she reaches a hand between our bodies and rubs at her clit and she too follows me over the edge.
I lean down and take her lips with mine, and we both ride out our orgasms with our mouths fused together.
I pull out of her once we both come down from theheavens. I do away with the condom, pull the sheets back so that both of us can climb into bed. We should probably get cleaned up, but I don't want to. Tonight, I want to go to bed covered in Paige in every way possible.
I pull her body against mine and I spoon her. I don't remember ever being so happy. I'm so glad she has chosen to give us a chance. I don't know where any of this will go, but I am interested to find out. That's the thought that lingers as I drift off into probably the best night's sleep I've had in years.
