New Beginnings (9 page)

She looked around the room and saw that most people were too busy doing their own thing to bother with them. She looked stealthily across the stage to see who else was up there with them but Gina was the only one there. Max grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear, “That was pretty good. Thanks.”

She smiled at him and kissed him back, feeling guilty as hell for what had happened. She could tell that Max had no idea and she felt deeply ashamed of herself. She should have pulled away as soon as she knew there was a third person but she had no idea who it was until she saw the man standing at the front of the stage. It was the man who looked like Max; he was staring at her and licking his fingers. She watched as he casually pulled his shirtsleeve down and grinned at her. She turned away from him quickly and reddened. She saw that Max was also looking at the man.

“Who is that, Max?” she whispered.

“That’s Senator Frank Phillips,” he muttered. “And I think he’s Jacob’s real dad.”

Chapter 12

Ella

Ella walked to the Starbucks in excitement. She wanted to meet
likestolisten
badly. She really hoped that he would be the one to push Joseph from her mind once and for all. She had spent the previous night worried about his voicemail but had decided to ignore his message. She didn’t want to get sucked back into that drama. Max could handle his business himself. She had wondered if she should tell Max about the message but things had been awkward at the apartment when they had gotten back home. She wasn’t sure what had gone on that night between them but she hoped that it had helped to fix their relationship.

She frowned as she approached the Starbucks. She wanted to meet this guy with a positive attitude and a sunny smile. She twirled around before she walked in and laughed at herself for being so excited. She looked for a guy who fit the photo and prayed that she wasn’t going to meet some guy who was balding or thirty years older than he had said.

“Goldengirl.” A man tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to look into the warm brown eyes of a smiling handsome man.

“Likestolisten?” She grinned at him. He was even better looking than his photo and she loved that he was dressed smartly for the date.

“Yes.” He grinned back at her. “I’m so glad you aren’t a man.”

“Haha, does that happen often?” She smiled at him and he led her to the line.

“I’m not sure.” He laughed. “You’re the first person I’ve met.”

“You’re my first too.” She laughed. “You know what I mean.” She blushed at her awkward words and looked at the board to decide what she wanted to get. “By the way, I’m Ella.” She held her hand out to him.

“You mean I can’t call you Goldengirl?” He faked a frown.

“Well only if I can call you likestolisten.”

“Maybe you can call me Dr. likestolisten.”

“Okay, Doc.” She laughed and ordered a drink. “Can I have a grande mocha Frappuccino please, no whipped cream?”

“Make that two, please.” Doc spoke behind her and handed the cashier some cash. “How did you know that was my favorite drink?”

“No way.” She stared at him in amazement.

“Okay, I lied.” He grinned. “But it sounds like a great drink.”

“Oh hahaha.” She laughed.

“So tell me about you. I’m shocked that a beautiful girl like you doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

“Oh you don’t even want to know.” She rolled her eyes.

“Try me.” He touched her shoulder lightly. “I find that most people usually feel a lot better once they talk about the things that bother them.”

“But this is our first date.”

“So?”

“I don’t want to scare you off.”

“I’ll only be scared if you tell me you killed someone.” He shirked back from her. “Did you kill someone?”

“No.” She laughed and picked up her drink.

“So what’s your story, Ella Van Harkel?” He smiled at her as they took a seat and she smiled at him.

“You really want to know?”

“Yes.” He ran his fingers through his short blond hair and she wondered if it would be crazy for her to touch his hair. It looked so soft, and she wanted to see if it was as soft as it looked.

“I used to have long hair.” She began and stared at him seriously. “I cut all my hair off after my married lover broke up with me and told me he wasn’t going to leave his wife for me.” She paused and giggled self-consciously. “So there you have my life story.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s your life story but I am certainly intrigued.” He leaned in towards her. “You don’t look like the sort of girl that would settle for a married guy.”

“What can I say?” She sighed. “He swept me off my feet.”

“How did he do that?” He picked up her hand softly and held it in his.

“He ate me out in a restaurant.” She grinned unabashed.

“He what?” Doc had the gall to look shocked.

“He took me to a restaurant one night, before I even had an interest in him. We were talking about some business stuff, he uh, worked for my brother.”

“Okay.” Doc nodded and urged her to continue.

“He dropped his napkin and crawled under the table to get it, before I knew it, his face was in my crotch and his tongue was in me.” She laughed. “What can I say? I like sex and that was the most exciting sex I’d ever had at the time.”

“You’ve had more exciting sex than that?”

“You could say that.” She laughed.

“I’m intrigued.”

“I don’t think this is good first date conversation.” She sighed.

“It doesn’t scare me, Ella. In fact, it makes me think that we could have a lot of fun together.”

“I’m not looking for fun.” She sighed. She had ruined it, now he would think she was all about sex. He wouldn’t want a proper relationship with her.

“Fun is the best part of a good relationship, Ella.” He looked at her seriously. “Without fun, there is no relationship. Sex is a healthy part of a relationship.” He moved his hand from hers and placed it on her leg. “A very healthy part.” He rubbed her leg up and down and grinned as she gasped. “I want my woman to enjoy all aspects of our relationship.”

“What do you do, Doc?” She leaned towards him and moved his hand up her leg and underneath her skirt. He gasped as she placed his hand on her crotch. “I have no problem with my sexuality, by the way.” She grinned at him. “Just in case you wondered.”

“I can see that.” His fingers rubbed her crotch slowly, waiting to see how she would react. She looked around the room casually to make sure that no one was looking at them and then opened her legs wider to give him easier access. He slipped a finger underneath her panties and started rubbing her clit.

“So, ah, what do you do?” Ella tried not to squirm in the seat as he played with her pussy. She wasn’t quite sure she knew what she was doing but she did know that she thought he was attractive and she was ready to get over Joseph. She was not going to let him dictate her moods. The best and quickest way to get over him would be to sleep with someone else.

“I’m a doctor.” He grinned as he slipped a finger inside her easily. She was already soaking wet and he couldn’t believe how easy it had been for him to get this far with her. He guessed it ran in the family.

“No way.” She laughed and squeezed her legs together so that the feeling of his fingers inside her was more intense. “You’re really a doctor?”

“Yes.”

“So what’s your name?”

“Most people call me Dr. Spencer.”

“Dr. Spencer, I like that.” She grinned. “I guess you do a lot of listening in your work as a doctor?”

“You could say that.” He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, “What do you say we get out of here?”

“Yeah?” She cocked her head. “Where do you want to go?”

“How about the park?”

“I love the park.”

“So do I.” He withdrew his fingers and looked around him before putting one on his mouth. “Hmm, you taste better than the drink.”

“I do?” She smiled at him sexily.

“See for yourself.” He pushed one of his fingers into her mouth and Ella, taken by surprise, sucked her own juices off his finger. It was the first time that she had tasted herself like that and she wondered at the taste.

“What do you think?” He grinned.

“I was wondering if you taste as good as me?” She grinned and stood up, flattening her skirt as she walked towards the door.

“Maybe you’ll find out.”

“In the park?” She looked at him in surprise.

“Is there a better place?” He laughed and grabbed her hand and they walked out of the Starbucks. He quickly took out his phone and sent a text message:
Contact has been made with the target. Information should be forthcoming.

Ella and Dr. Spencer walked to the park briskly, both of them excited for what was to come. Ella heard her phone ringing and saw Joseph’s name and pressed ignore. She put the phone back in her purse and grabbed Doc’s butt.

“Hey.” He pulled her towards him and slapped her ass hard.

“Sorry,” she smiled. “I couldn’t resist.”

“Hey I don’t mind as long as you don’t mind receiving as well.”

“I love receiving.” She grinned.

“So tell me more about your ex-lover and your brother,” he said casually. “They work for the same company?”

“You could say that?” She smiled sweetly at him. She didn’t want to tell him that she was a billionaire, or at least an heiress. Men started acting weird when they found that out about her.

“I hope your boyfriend wasn’t your brothers boss?”

“No.” She smiled.

“That’s good.” He paused. “So what do they do?”

“I’m not exactly sure.” She tried to change the subject. “I don’t really ask about business stuff.”

“Oh.” He paused. “Maybe one day, we can visit the office that they worked at.”

“Why?” She frowned looking at him curiously.

“Oh you know, so you can purge Joseph from your mind.”

“Yeah, I guess so.” She bit her lip as they walked into Central Park. She was starting to feel a little uneasy. Something about their conversation had bothered her and she wasn’t quite sure what it was that was making her feel so odd.

“Hey don’t worry. I have protection.” He grinned at her.

“Huh?” She looked at him sideways.

“Huh? What do you mean, huh?” He pulled her towards him and pulled her top up quickly and popped her right breast out of her bra before sucking on it hard. Ella groaned as he bit hard on her nipple and grabbed his hair before pushing him away and pulling her top down.

“What the fuck are you doing?” She looked around and saw a couple staring at them in shock.

“I just wanted to spice it up.” He pulled out a condom packet from his pocket. “This is the protection I was talking about.”

“Oh.” She sighed. She was confused. This date wasn’t going as she had planned. Things were going a lot quicker than she had wanted but maybe it was for the best. She tried to talk herself out of her confused state of mind. She told herself that she was starting to feel uncomfortable because Joseph had just called her.

“Have I told you how hot you are?” He rubbed her back and smiled at her gently, his brown eyes warm and kind and Ella felt her heart melt. He really was a hottie.

“You can never tell a girl she’s hot too many times.” She smiled and ran as he slapped her on the ass again. He chased her and they fell to the ground as he caught up with her. She was laughing as he tickled her and it wasn’t until she felt him on top of her that she realized they were in a more remote part of the park. She felt his lips on hers and she closed her eyes and kissed him back. He wasn’t the most passionate kisser that she had ever had but he wasn’t bad. She opened her legs as he started grinding his hard cock into her and he quickly pulled her top up again to suck on her breasts.

“You have beautiful tits.” He grinned up at her and nibbled on her nipples. She yelped as his teeth bit down on her and he whispered a quick sorry. She felt his hands go up under her skirt and he quickly pulled her panties down and stuffed them into his pocket. She looked down at him as he pulled her skirt up and moments later she felt his tongue licking her pussy. She closed her eyes and spread her legs wider, imagining that it was Joseph in-between her legs. She screamed as Doc bit down on her clit and she looked down at him.

“What the fuck. That hurt,” she growled at him and he grinned up at her.

“Keep your eyes open. I want you to watch me as I eat you out.” And with that, he bent back down to her pussy and lifted her ass up so that his face was submerged between her legs. She groaned as she felt his breath on her and as he pushed his tongue into her, she found herself squirming in the grass and trying to hold in a scream. He certainly knew his way around the female anatomy and she felt herself shuddering within minutes as she came hard on his face. He licked up her juices and moved back up to kiss her.

He then rolled over and pulled his pants down and pulled his cock out. “Get on top of me.”

“Wait what?” She looked at him dazed.

“Ride me.” He pulled her on top of him.

“What, here?” She looked around and contemplated telling him no.

“No one’s here.” He grinned. “It’ll be fine.”

“Fine.” She grinned at him and sat on his cock. It slid into her pussy easily and she moved her hips back and forth on him.

“Take your top off,” he growled and pulled her top off. And then he ripped her bra off so that she was completely topless. “Bend down so I can suck your tits,” he ordered her and she leaned forward. He took her left nipple in his mouth and sucked on it as she bounced up and down on his cock. She groaned as she felt him sliding in and out of her. His cock wasn’t the longest she’d ever had but it was really wide and she felt like it consumed her whole pussy.

“Fuck, I’m going to cum.” He pushed her off him and rolled her on her back while slipping his cock out and coming all over her breasts. He grunted as he came and she felt his warm cum spurt all over her breasts. “Sorry,” he groaned as he looked down at her with a dazed look. “You forgot to put the condom on before you started riding me.”
