DANIEL'S GIRL: ROMANCING AN OLDER MAN (6 page)

And as she was easing up, Daniel was
spilling out.
 
He thrashed into her and
thrashed into her until his spigot released spunk all over her pussy, and
caused every muscle in his body to tighten up, and to tremble too.

By the time they both stopped
trembling completely, and came back to themselves, something had shifted
between them.
 
They were breathing hard,
and looking into each other’s eyes, and knew that a shift had happened.
 
This was their first mating, and already a
shift had occurred.

For Daniel it was a heightened sense
of ownership.
 
It was as if he was seeing
something, and he knew it would someday belong to him, although it didn’t
belong to him yet.
   

For Nikki it was a sense of
attachment.
 
Of belonging to
someone.
 
It was as if she had been
flying solo all of her life, with no one on ground to catch her if she fell.
 
But now there was a safety net.
 
But it was going to require an awful lot of
trust, because that net might close at any moment, and she could fall.

There was a shift.

Afterwards, after Daniel ran water in
his Jacuzzi tub, he and Nikki, with her back against his front, bathe
together.
 
Her vagina was battered, he
knew he had put it on her, and would probably be more sore later on if it
wasn’t handled right.
 
That was why,
although she bathe herself, he took charge of bathing her pussy.

“Do you have classes tomorrow?” he
asked her as he bathe her.

“Yes,” she said, finding sensuality
even in his wipe.

“What times?”

“Only one, and it’s from ten to
eleven.”

Daniel continued to rub her vagina,
loving the tightness of it and still pleased that he was the first one.
 
And he decided something he had never decided
with a date before.
 
“You’re staying the
night with me,” he told her.
 
“I’ll take
you home in the morning.”

Nikki smiled and leaned back against
him.
 
If she had any doubts that he was
treating their coupling as a one-night stand, his statement just now completely
alleviated it.
 

Daniel, too, knew it was true.
 
This was another first for him.
 
Especially after his marriage, he hated to
wake up with some woman in his bed.
 
But
he was looking forward to sleeping, and then waking up, with Nikki.

 
The next day, after Daniel drove her home and
Val joked about “the glow” she now had, Nikki had a long phone conversation
with Miss Newsome, who couldn’t stop thanking her for getting Daniel to help
her sons.
 
Nikki tried in vain to explain
to her that Daniel helped because he wanted to, not because of her, but even
Val, after she hung up, told her to knock it off.

“Just quit,” he said to her.
 
They were in their apartment, at the small
kitchen table, having breakfast.
 
“Daniel
Crane is helping her because of you.”

“That is so not true,” Nikki
said.
 
“He decided to help her because he
agreed those boys need better representation.”

“Oh, sure.
 
And you aren’t glowing, either, are you?”

“That’s exactly right.
 
I’m
not
glowing!”

“You’re glowing,” Val insisted.
 
“That man put it on your butt last night.
 
He broke you in.”

“Ah, forget you,” Nikki said.
 
She and Val were close, but she wasn’t about
to dig that deep, even with him.

“But you know what that means,” he
said with a smile, as he bit into his toast.
 
“You’re his now.
 
If you hear from
him again, and that’s a big IF, then he’s going to try and put a claim on
you.
 
Especially if it was good.
 
If it wasn’t so good, that’s different.
 
But if it was good, and if he calls you
again, you’re going to be his.
 
You’re
Daniel’s girl now.”

But Nikki dismissed such talk and got
up to get dressed for class.

But as she walked to class across the
sprawling college campus, she kept thinking about what Val had said.
 
IF
he called her again, he had said, as if there was some doubt that Daniel would
phone.
 
But Nikki fully expected to hear
from Daniel again, even though a part of her felt foolish for expecting
it.
 
He got what he wanted, after all, and
most men would take their winnings and go home.

But he had promised her that he
wouldn’t hurt her.
 
That had to account
for something.
 
She knew she wasn’t
experienced in matters of the heart, and she knew men would lie to get into a
female’s panties all day long, but she saw the sincerity in Daniel’s eyes when
he spoke those words.
 
She saw the
conviction.
 
Besides, a man who would
help Miss Newsome the way he had agreed to help her, couldn’t be a bad
man.
 
He just couldn’t.
 
So she fully expected Daniel to get in touch
with her again.

But what she didn’t expect was that he
would call her cell phone as soon as her class had ended, as if he had timed
it.
 
And it wasn’t his secretary who
phoned her, either.
 
He phoned her.
 
He told her to meet him in front of the
administration building on campus in twenty minutes.
 
He was taking her to lunch.
 

Nikki beamed with joy as she hung up
her phone.
 
The administration building
was in the very front of the school and was one of the more popular pick up
locations.
 
Nikki knew she could get
there in a matter of a couple minutes, but she was too thrilled to be laid
back.
 
So instead of taking her time and
scrolling over to the admin building, she practically ran.
 

“
Hey,
hey, Nikki, hey!
 
What crusade do you
have today
?”
 
The three girls sang
this cheer in unison, and then giggled.
 
Like Nikki, they were waiting to be picked up in front of the admin
building too.
 
But unlike Nikki, they
were bored with waiting and needed entertainment.

They chose her.

“
Hey,
hey, Nikki, hey!
 
What crusade do you
have today
?” they repeated.

Nikki ignored them both times.
 
To her they were nothing more than typical
mean girls with nothing better to do.
 
All three were small and pretty and were leaders on the cheerleading
squad.
 
One of the girls dated the
captain of the football team, or either used to date him.
 
Nikki didn’t exactly have time to keep up
with that kind of news.
 
But they, like
many of the students who saw Nikki around campus, were always teasing her.
 
She needed to give those crusades a rest,
they would say.
 
She needed a makeover,
she needed a life, and she particularly needed a man.
 

“So tell us, Nick,” the football
captain’s girl said.
 
“What’s the cause
today?
 
Are you saving the chia pets, or
are you collecting lunch money for the panda bears?”
 
The other girls giggled.

“But seriously, Nick,” the leader
continued.
 
“Why don’t you come to our
sorority house tomorrow night?
 
We’re
having a fab party and we would absolutely love to have your exceptional
personality in attendance.”
 
Giggles
again.

Nikki could see Daniel’s pearl-white
Jaguar turn onto the campus, driving fast, which seemed to be the only way he
knew how to drive, as he headed her way.

“Come on, Nikki, you’ll love it,” the
leader went on.
 
“We’ll play all the
Frank Sinatra songs you want to hear.
 
And you can even do the Carlton dance.”
 
Even more giggles.
 
“But ooops,
what in the world am I thinking?
 
I
completely forgot!
 
You can’t come stag
at our parties.
 
You have to bring a
date.
 
And what man on the face of this
earth would take you on a date?”

The girls really laughed at that one
as Daniel’s Jaguar stopped in front of the building.
 
He got out of his car and walked around it,
toward Nikki.

“So tell us, Nick,” the leader asked
again, “what sane man would take you on a date?”

Daniel was dressed in a periwinkle
blue Armani suit and rounded the car looking pristine, Nikki thought.
 
His hair had dropped down along his forehead,
giving him a youthful appearance, and his muscular body, a body she now knew so
well, seemed to strain the fabric of the suit.
 
He kissed her on the lips when he made it up to her, to the amazement of
the cheerleaders, and opened the car door for her.
 
Nikki then turned around, and looked at her
stunned college mates.
 

“This man would,” she said, and was
about to get in the car.

But the football captain’s girl only
had eyes for Daniel.
 
She could see that
sugar daddy doing all kinds of wonderful things with
and for
her.
 
Nursemaid Nikki
certainly didn’t deserve a man like that!

“So you’ll come to the party then?”
the leader asked, eyeing Daniel as if he was a steak to eat.
 
“You can come, and you can bring him too,”
she added with a sweet, innocent smile.
 
“Will you come, Nikki?
 
Please?
 
Pretty please?”

Nikki looked at her as if she was an
airhead personified.
 
What, did they
think Nikki was stupid?
 
Did they really
believe that she would all of a sudden want to belong to a group like
theirs?
 
“Let me think,” Nikki said, as
if she was actually giving the invite some serious thought.
 
“Do I go to your party and bring my
date?
 
Or do I stay home and put needles
in my eyes?
 
Umm,” Nikki said as if she
was actually weighing her options.
 
“What
to do, what to do.”
 
Then she smiled.
 
“Ooops, the needles won.
 
Sorry, girls,” she said, dropping the smile
that was as fake as theirs, and got into the car.

Daniel smiled too and shook his
head.
 
The silliness of youth, he
thought, as he closed the passenger door, rounded the car, and got back
in.
 
Nikki was laughing as they drove
away.

The leader looked at the other girls,
who were staring at her.
 
“What y’all
looking at me for?” she snapped.

Over the next few weeks, there would
be many lunch dates and dinner dates for Daniel and Nikki.
 
Every day, in fact, they had some form of
contact.
 
But it was usually brief, a lunch
here, a dinner there, as Daniel often had to be out of town or attend some
major meeting or entertain some out-of-town business associates.
 
She even spent the night with him a few
times.
 

But as the third week of their
courtship was drawing to a close, and he was set to leave town, yet again, on
business, he picked her up after class, in front of the admin building once
again, to take her, she thought, to lunch.
 
But instead of taking her to lunch, he first took her to a car
dealership.
 
To a Lexus car
dealership.
 

As soon as his Jaguar came to a stop
in the parking lot, Nikki looked at him.
 

“What’s this?” she asked him.

Daniel already felt odd about making
this big a leap.
 
But he didn’t feel it
could be helped.
 
He had business
meetings in California tomorrow and throughout the weekend, and then he had to
leave there and be in China all next week.
 
He didn’t feel this was a matter that should wait until he returned.

“This is a car dealership,” he said.

“I know that,” Nikki said with a
smile.
 
“But why are we at a car
dealership?”

“You need transportation.”

“I have transportation.
 
I catch the city bus wherever I have to go.”

Daniel didn’t even realize he was
holding her hand, until he was just now about to reach for it.
 
He squeezed it.
 
“That’s not going to work, babe,” he said.
