“Masie, this is Drake. He wanted to tag along. I hope you don’t mind me bringing him without giving you a heads up.” I look at my smiling, curious friend.
She might be smiling, but I know what she might be truly thinking behind the fa?ade. She’s probably freaking out and jumping for joy that I brought Drake here.
“Ah, I’ve heard a lot about you, Drake. Nice to finally meet you. When Lily said you were good-looking, I didn’t realize she was lying. ‘Cause you’re more than good looking.” Masie greets him and Drake blushes from Masie’s boldness.
“You asked for it. You did invite yourself to come along,” I mutter next to him.
“Nice to meet you, Masie.” Drake hands her a bottle of red wine before Masie leads us inside.
Masie doesn’t hold back when she checks Drake’s backside as he moves past her, then gives me a thumbs-up. I simply glare at her. “It’s just us and a few of our close friends.” Masie informs Drake.
I stop when I see Jared outside, laughing and drinking a beer.
Hell, am I being punished? Why are bad things happening to me? When it rains, it pours, they say. Now I know what that phrase truly means.
When Drake sees my expression, he follows to where my gaze has landed. He immediately tenses behind me. “Try to behave will you, Lil?” Drake asks me in a low tone, just loud enough for me to hear.
“Scared that I’ll ditch you for another man?” I’m beyond amused. Drake is really possessive. He cusses and I just give him a bright smile.
“Don’t worry, you can’t be easily replaced.”
Drake starts to thaw, just a tad. “You mean that, Lil?”
Always, Drake. “Yes, I do mean it.”
When we go out to the backyard and join the rest of the party. Jared smiles when he sees me, but that smile turns into a frown once he spies Drake, who follows behind me.
Masie introduces Drake to the rest of her friends. Nick eyes Drake before he shakes hands with him. I’m guessing Nick instantly knows who he is, based on his reaction. “Welcome, Drake.” Nick motions for Drake to take a seat and join them at the table. There are a dozen or so of their friends sitting around the table.
As the party goes on, Nick, David and Drake are engrossed in their talk about movies and special effects. I decide to go inside and help Masie out in the kitchen instead of trying to follow the guys’ conversation. I hardly notice when Jared follows me in.
“Lily, can we talk?”
I clear my throat before I agree. Jared leads us to the living room for some privacy. Jared chooses to stand towards the very end of the room, away from where I am.
“The weeks you promised, I guess that’s not valid any longer?” he asks accusingly.
“The other night, we sorted things out somehow. I want to give Drake another chance. I have to. I feel that I owe it to myself to know if it could really work or not. I meant to tell you,” I plead to Jared. He looks like he can’t believe what I’m telling him.
“I really like you, Lily. You must know that. I’m hurt, yeah. Although, I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t see this one coming after leaving you the other night with him being so angry.” Jared sits on the beige couch and huffs out a sigh. “Tell the guys that I’m going home. I need to clear my head for the day. I just got hit by a big blow. I need time to process this, if you don’t mind.” He suddenly stands up and walks towards where I stand, rooted on the spot.
I feel like the most wretched person for making this sweet guy miserable. There is no other way to go about it. I want Drake and I want to see where this can go. I’m done denying what my heart’s been telling me since the day that he came back into my life.
Jared kisses my cheek. “I knew that this man owned your heart when I saw how you reacted to him. Follow where your heart leads you... and be happy. Take care, Lil.”
“Thank you, Jared,” I say with gratitude for his understanding.
He gives me a sad, shaky smile before leaving the living room and out of the house.
After a few minutes, Masie comes in and gathers me in her arms. “Don’t feel too bad, Missy. I think we all know that your heart lies with Drake after all these years. Jared knew the score. Nick tried to warn him off, but he didn’t listen.”
Masie and I join the rest of party. When one of the guys asks where Jared went, she just shrugs, tells them that he had to sort something out and needed to leave immediately.
“Everything okay, Babe?” Drake whispers against my ear when I sit next to him. He sounds worried. I’m grateful that he didn’t freak out when Jared followed me inside. Knowing how Drake is, he most likely saw it, but trusted me to take care of it and I did; I took care of it.
I brightly smile at him before I give him a quick kiss. “It is now.”
His pauses and looks me over. “Yeah?”
“Yeah, Drake.”
His pleased, beautiful smile does me in. “Thank you. That makes me so happy. I’ll show you how happy I am tonight.” Drake’s eyes burn me up. I feel my cheeks grow hot and my vaginal muscles tighten.
Damn the man. He’s getting me aroused right in front of my friends.
His shrewd eyes figure out what is going on with my body as he sees the changes in me. His eyes dilate as he stares at me. I’m surprised when he suddenly stands up and excuses us both. “I have to speak to Lily for a bit. Please excuse us.”
Since they are busy talking about playing poker, they don’t mind us leaving.
Drake quickly leads us upstairs and shoves me inside the bathroom where he locks us in. “I need to be inside you. Now!” He hisses against my ear as he positions me facing the mirror, against the sink. His hands take care of my jeans along with my underwear, pulling them down just past my knees.
“Are you wet?” Drake urgently asks as his finger checks. “You are… dripping…” He groans against my neck. I hear his pants fall on the floor before he speaks again. “Bend over. Don’t part your legs. I want to take you like this. I know you’re tight as it is… but I want to feel you break open while I stretch you further. Hold tight because I’m not going to take you fast this time.”
My eyes stay glued to the mirror as his hips thrust forward, the head of his cock parting my folds. “Do you feel the difference when you don’t part your legs? My dick can barely fit in there.”
I’m panting so hard, I can barely think. Though he has a hard time sliding it in all the way in, he is persistent. He pulls out and puts it back in, inching deeper inside me with each thrust. It teases my hunger, sucking me into a sexual cloud that I can’t get enough of. The more he teases, the hungrier I become.
“Do it, just f*cking do it,” I dare him to just hit it all the way home. I anticipate the pain it will bring, but I know that Drake will make up for it.
Drake grabs both of my ass cheeks while he bites my earlobe as he rams his cock into me hard until it hits the wall of my cervix. I grunt from the painful throb. “Keep your ass up as I instructed you earlier. Don’t you dare move. My cock’s going to love you until you can’t take it anymore. Is that what you want, Babe?” The head of his shaft teases the wall of my womb.
“You’re all talk,” I moan against him.
“Remember, you asked for this,” Drake informs me before he pulls out and drives in with precision.
I’m shaking and sobbing his name in a minute as I come, my muscles contracting against his moving shaft. My hand pushes against the mirror as he annihilates my body, taking me to the next level. “Don’t move!” Drake hisses against my shoulder.
“I can’t… too much.” Tears prickle in my eyes as my body starts to tighten again, readying for another wave of release.
“Let go,” Drake commands as my body does just that, but he isn’t finished. Not by a long shot.
My body is trembling more than I thought possible. My strength to keep the position he ordered is thinning. “One more?” he asks as he slows down, his dick still stroking me while his lips rain kisses on the back of my neck. “Tilt your head a bit. I want your lips.”
Our lips touch, passion licks my soul as our tongues fight, fervently. Drake powers into my depths with titillating force as he impales me with his hard shaft. Striking me deeper, taking me to another dimension. His hands press against my stomach as he pierces me with his throbbing cock. “Come for me, Babe,” Drake instructs again before he bites into my shoulder. It makes me convulse around him. I cry out as an orgasm takes hold of my body.
Drake rolls his hips a few more times before he hisses out a few angry curses. He comes beautifully as I watch him in the mirror. He is incredible to watch. My eyes find his in the mirror, his cock still pulsating inside me. “You love watching me go crazy, I see.” Drake smiles as he kisses my neck.
“I can’t help it. You look too hot to resist.” Hopeless, that’s me, alright.
Drake pulls out and spins me around, kissing me hard. “You’re amazing. Do you know that? I’m so crazy about you.”
“I’m crazy about you, too.”
“Good to know that the feeling is mutual. Let’s go join your friends, and then we can head home. I want you alone.” Drake kisses me one more time before he cleans me off with a wet paper towel.
We’ve just finished our shower together and are in bed, ready to sleep, when Drake speaks into the dark.
“Lil?”
I perk up. “Hmmm?”
“I was thinking; why don’t you start working on your business plan with Masie? I can hire another person. You guys were pretty excited discussing the possibility of it earlier, so why not do it? Go look for a place tomorrow to rent. Go over business details and open up in the next three months?”
“Is this your subtle way of firing me? Will you be hiring a hot blonde as my replacement?”
“No. If it will make you happy, I will hire an efficient gay man. I had one before named Kip, but Shannon fired him when I was out of the country. I could contact him again and offer an incentive, but my point is, I want you to work on something that you love to do. It’s time, Lil.”
I know it’s time for me to really go out there and do my thing.
I kiss his chest and whisper against it. “I know, thank you for bringing it up. I’ll speak to Masie first thing in the morning.” My hand touches his neck where it begins to curve to his shoulder.
“Good. I think this will be a good step for you,” Drake murmurs against my forehead before he drifts off to sleep.
