In To Blue: Book One Of The Blue Series (8 page)

Why is it every time we decide to tour a city, it goes to hell
?
  Grant finally ends his call.  I hope we can actually do some sight-seeing.  Instead he turns to face me.  Avery, I’m sorry but I have to go into the office.  Will is going to drop me off and then take you back to my house.”
 
So much for a fun Sunday with Gran
t
. “Ok.”  I frown.  We turn onto Fifth Avenue and pull to a tall office building.  The structure looks like as if it was made out of glass.  Grant kisses me.  “I’ll see you later.”  “Sure.”  Grant climbs out and walks inside. 

I arrive back at his house and I head straight for the stables.  Timmy has done a great job caring for the horses.  I start thinking about the ranch and Blue.  I pull my phone out of my pocket and call Buddy.  “Hey stranger.”  “Hey Buddy.  How is everything?”  “It’s all good, like a well-oiled machine.”  “How are my babies?”  “Doing great.  They miss you but they are handling it very well.” 

Buddy goes through all the daily activities with me.  We discuss some deals he is working on regarding the acquisition of some potential new racing horses.  “Sapphire is doing great.”  “Buddy how is your dad?”  “He is great.  Everyone is doing good Avery.”  “Have you heard anything from the Sherriff?  He pauses.  He is trying to keep something from me.  “Buddy, what is it?  There is silence.  “Damn it Buddy!”  “Ok Avery.  Coy has taken off no one knows where he is.” 

Oh shit
!
  “What about Reese?”  “He talked to dad.”  “What!”  I immediately tense. I know that had to be a hard conversation.  “Buddy what did he say?”  “Avery, he swore to dad he had nothing to do with the attack.”  “Bullshit! Does Uncle Rex Believe him?”  “Yes Avery.  He does.”  “Does the Sherriff know this?”  “Yes.  That is why they are looking for Coy.”  “Avery don’t worry about it.” “Damn it Buddy! I am going to snatch you through this phone.” 

“Avery, the Sherriff isn’t releasing many details.”  “What details Buddy?”  “Damn it Avery!  It is only going to upset you.”  “I swear Buddy Roy Foster, if you don’t start talking, I am going beat it out of you!”

“Avery calm down.  The Sherriff said Coy is obsessed with you.”  My worst fears are coming true.  “Apparently he has been stalking you since the two of you broke up.”  They found pictures of you.  “He has been following you around for the past several weeks.”  “Pictures of me?”  “Yes Avery.  Pictures of you on the ranch and pictures from the charity ball.  “He had pictures of you with Grant.   Coy is fucked up.”  

“I think maybe I need to come back home.”  “No Avery!  We talked about this.  You are staying put.  “If Coy is after you he may be just waiting on you to come back.”  “Buddy if I come back it could draw him out of hiding.” 

“Avery are you kidding me?  Hell no!  Don’t make me get dad on the phone.”  “Ok!  I will stay put but two weeks is all I’m willing to stay away.  I miss you all and my babies.”  “I know Avery but you need to stay safe.”  “Tell everyone I said hi and I love them.”  “Will do Avery.   I will call you later.” I hang up.  I’m in shock.  I thought I knew Coy. I guess I didn’t. 

I start thinking about the time I have spent with Coy.  
 
Had he given off some warning signals that I ignored?
 
Thinking about him now only upsets me.  I’m afraid.
What if Coy knows where I am
?

I wish Grant was here.  Grant makes me feel safe.  I feel protected with him.  I feel nothing else matters when we are together.  I haven’t told him but he owns my heart.  When we are together it is only us.  Nothing else matters. 

I know we have some things we need to work out.  I push that out of my mind I can’t think about that now.  I decide to call him. “Hey baby!”  “Hey.  Grant, how long will you be at the office?”  “It will be several hours.  I am covered up in paperwork.” 

“Is something wrong Avery?”  I fight back tears.  “No.”  “I was just wondering when you would be back.  I’ll see you later.   Bye Grant.”  He pauses.  “Bye Avery.”  I wander around the stables for a while trying to not completely breakdown.  I finally cannot hold it back anymore. I completely loose it letting the tears fall down my face.

I return to the house.  As I enter into the living area, Grant walks through the front door. He immediately walks up to me.  Grant wraps his arms around me as I cry.  This is what makes me care for Grant, his compassion.  I could stay here in his arms all day.  I feel safeguarded in his arms.  Those strong arms wrapped around me creates a great sense of security.  I feel warm and close to Grant when he holds me.  “Baby what is it?”  “Coy is after me.  He has been stalking me since I broke up with him.” 

“The Sherriff found pictures of me and you.  He is looking for Coy but he can’t find him.”  “Avery it’s ok.  You are safe here.”  I’m in shear panic mode.  “What if he followed me up here?  I’m putting you, your employees, and your horses in danger by being here.” 

I start coughing.  “Jacob.”  “Yes Mr. Harrison.”  “Could you get Ms. Foster her cough medicine?  “Right away sir.”  “Calm down, you are going to make yourself sick.  “He can’t get to you here.  I have security.  He has no idea where I live.  I won’t let him hurt you.” 

Jacob hands me my cough syrup and some water.  I sit down on the couch.  I take the medicine and drink some water.  Grant sits down next to me. “What are you doing here anyway? I thought you had to work?” 

“I do but I felt bad for asking for you to spend the day with me and then changing plans on you.  I knew you were upset when I talked to you on the phone. I thought it was because I went to work but now I know why.” I swallow the lump in the back of my throat.  “I called Buddy to check on things.  He told me what was going on.” 

“I see.  Avery, why don’t you get some rest.  That cough syrup tends to make you sleepy.  While you rest, I’ll finish up my work in my office.”  “Ok.” I whisper.  He stands up and hugs me.  “Don’t worry you are safe here.”  I nod as I walk to the guest room.  I hear Grant talking to Jacob as I leave the room but I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about.

I awake to Grant kissing my neck.  “Wake up baby. I had Zander prepare dinner for us.”  I roll over, wrapping my arms around his neck and I pull him on top of me.  I kiss him hard on the lips stirring my tongue in his mouth.  “Avery you drive me crazy.  As much as I would like to have you right now,our dinner is getting cold.  He raises up and pulls me out of bed.
 
Damn
!
I was hoping for dessert first. 

Zander has prepared shrimp scampi, baked potato and a fresh green salad.  “This looks great. I’m starving.”  I decide to start with the salad.  The vinaigrette is delicious.  “Baby, since tomorrow is Monday, I need to go into the office. I have a lot of deals I need to read through.  I thought maybe you would like to meet up with my stylist Jacques.  He could take you shopping and to lunch on me”

I have to admit shopping sounds fun.  “That sounds great but I can pay for my own clothes and lunch.”  “Nonsense Avery. I know you can afford it but I want to do it for you.  I know I haven’t been able to spend a lot of time together and this is my way of making it up to you.  Don’t think about arguing with me about it.  It is a done deal.”
 
Talk about a mind reader.

“One more thing, with all that is going on I am assigning you a bodyguard.  His name is Anthony Jones.  I thought it might put your mind to ease about Coy.”  I find it odd he assigned me a bodyguard.  It actually concerns me.
 
Is he afraid Coy might find me
?
  “Ok”  “Great!  He will be here in the morning.” 

After dinner Grant gives me a tour of the house.  The game room is awesome.  It has everything pool tables, card tables, the works.  There is also a media room and it looks just like classy old movie theater.  The last room he shows me is his gym.  “You are welcome to use it anytime you like.  Now how about dessert?”  “Sure.  What are we having?”  “Well Ms. Foster, I’m going to be enjoying you for dessert.” I laugh as he scoops me up and takes me to his room. 

After we enter his room Grant puts me down on my feet.  He lifts my shirt over my head admiring my breast as they are peeking through my bra.  I feel his hands down around my waist unbuttoning my jeans.  He slides my jeans and panties down my legs as I step out of them with my bare feet. 

Kneeling down, he drags his tongue from my ankle all the way up to my thigh.  He plants soft kisses on both of my inner thighs.  My body is screaming for more.  His simple touch makes my skin heat and my core is moistened with anticipation.  He laps his tongue against the soft folds of my sex.  Parting my folds he slides his tongue up to my clit.  He lightly begins licking my clit.  My body becomes rocked with an orgasm.  My knees are weak and will give at any moment. 

The pleasure he is giving me is driving me crazy.  I want him to just fuck me with everything he’s got.  I place my hands on his solid shoulders to steady myself.  My clit has become so sensitive I can’t take any more as my body begins to tremble.  “Grant stop. Please I can’t take anymore.”  I pull on his arms until he is standing upright.  I grab him by his shirt and kiss him hard.  I can taste the tanginess of me on his tongue as I drive my tongue into his mouth. 

I grab his shirt and rip it open as the buttons go flying across the room.  I plant small kisses across his chest.  I lick each of his pecks before dragging my tongue down to his waist.  I look up at him as I undo his pants.  I slide his pants and his tight boxers down his legs.  As he steps out of his clothes I slide off each of his socks.  His hard cock is curving upwards.   I look up at Grant his body is so tense he wants my mouth on him. 

I lick each of his inner thighs.  I then move my tongue up to his balls.  Dragging my tongue across his balls.  Grant’s body begins to shake.  “Oh yes baby!”  I hum as I drag my lips up and down the length of his cock.  Grant now is so shattered with anticipation he grabs my shoulders in order to maintain his balance.  “Oh fuck Avery!” 

I place my hand on his cock and pump his length as I slide my lips over the head of his cock.  I continue to hum as I take him in and out of my mouth.  I release my hand letting his cock slide in to the back of my mouth.  “Oh yes baby don’t stop.”  Grant gasp.  He begins flexing his hips to meet the motion of my mouth sucking on his length.  His intensity increases. He jerks me up and kisses me roughly on the lips. 

“Fuck baby you almost made me come in your mouth.”  “That was kind of the point Grant.”  “No.  I want to come inside you.”  He pushes me on the bed.  He grabs a condom and slides it on.  Grant immediately is on top of me sliding his cock inside my core.  The orgasm from him entering my core hits me like a freight train.  His thrust are quick and forceful.  I feel such a euphoria from the pleasure Grant is giving me.  Grant’s body tenses and he gasp as he finds his release inside of me.

I awake the next morning in bed alone.  I throw on the clothes I had on last night and walk toward the kitchen.  “Good Morning Avery.  Are you hungry?  I have fresh fruit and pancakes.  “Sounds wonderful Zander.”  After breakfast, I check on Timmy and the horses. 

Knowing Jacques will be here any minute I get ready in a rush.  I’m hobbling around the room trying to get my jeans and boots on when I hear the doorbell ring.
 
Shit!  He is here
.
I quickly finish getting ready and haul ass to the living room. 

“Bonjour Magnifque!”  “Excuse me? I say looking puzzled at this man dressed in black dress pants, black shoes and a red button up shirt.  “I was saying hello to you in French.  You must be Avery. I am Jacques Lavoie, Mr. Harrison’s personal stylist but you can call me Jack everyone does.”  “Nice to meet you Jacques I mean Jack.” 

“Let’s see what we got here.  Turn around and let me take a good look at you.”  I am completely embarrassed.  This French guy is basically eyeing every inch of me.  “Very nice.  Mr. Harrison wasn’t lying when he said you were gorgeous.”  I immediately blush.   “Let’s get out of here.  We desperately need to get you out of those rugged clothes.”  “What did you just say?”  “I‘m sorry Ms. Foster. I didn’t meant that in the way you think.   I mean let’s go shopping!” “Call me Avery.” 

“Excuse me Ms. Foster.”  I turn and there is this big burly African American male who looks like a linebacker.  He is good looking guy who is sharply dressed in a black suit with a white shirt. “I’m Tony.”  I had forgotten about the bodyguard.  “Hi Tony.  Uh Jack, this is Tony my security guard.  Tony this is Jack my stylist for the day.”  They each exchanged hellos and handshakes.  

During our car ride to New York City, Jack tells me all about his career as a stylist.  He has worked with high profile business clients for the past 10 years.  He primarily works with men but has worked with some women.  “I don’t work with many women.  They find me intimidating.”  “Why is that?”  I ask.  “Cause I tell it like it is.  I’m very honest.”  “Great.”  A guy that has no problem telling me my ass will look big in a particular dress.  This isn’t going to be as fun as I thought it would be. 

To my surprise we had a blast shopping.  Jack took me to all of the popular boutiques of course with Tony in tow.  I ended up with quite a wardrobe.  I got some dresses, skirts, tops, shoes, accessories, lingerie, and some designer jeans.  We stop at a small quaint café and enjoy a nice lunch.  After lunch we walk by a store.  In the window, there is this deep blue double breasted coat that had a belt tied around the waist. The color is amazing.  “You like that coat don’t you?  Jack asks.  I nod.  “Come on.”  He grabs my hand and we are in and out within minutes with my new coat.
