Rebound (28 page)

“
You are. Look, I
understand. I just want to explain, if I hadn’t already made it
clear when you showed me your test results. Not using a condom
takes an infinite amount of trust. Not just trust in you, but in
myself. I’m not saying that I don’t trust you, even if it is
implied by my request to use a condom. I just need time to believe
that this between us is a long term possibility and not a week or
month long whim. I’m thinking of you as much as I’m thinking of
me.”

“
I get it.” He kept his
gaze to the side, and sighed.

“
Do you? Really? Because
you grunt and groan, and your little comments aren’t going
unnoticed. It’s making me really uncomfortable.” He turned to look
at me with wide eyes.

“
I’m sorry. I don’t want
you to feel uncomfortable. I just . . .” He rubbed his hand through
his hair. “I just feel that connection with you. I’ve not felt this
way in a long time or with anyone else since . . . you know . . .
my ex-wife. I just want to feel everything with you. I trust you
and I hoped that you trust me.”

“
I have a lot of trust in
you. I just don’t need to go raw to feel I trust you. I’m here,
right?” I rose up on my knees before him and cupped his face.
“Before you came along I was over the idea of being with anyone
else. I wasn’t actually looking or pursuing any kind of
relationship, sexual or emotional. Give me time. This has only been
a week. It took me six months of dating to sleep with my
ex-husband, and he’s the only other man I’ve ever been with, so all
these emotions and sensations are new. I need time to process it.”
I gave him a kiss. He pulled me to him. My chest pressed to his.
His hands went around my waist pulling me onto his lap. I straddled
him feeling his semi-hard cock start to swell at my folds. I held
onto him by the shoulders.

He reached between us and rubbed the
tip of his rubber clad cock with my juices. He guided me onto him
and cupped my buttocks to join us deeper. I gasped in a mix of
pleasure and pain. With his hands he guided my legs to wrap around
his waist. I was so turned on by his strength and virility. He was
more of a man than I’d ever hoped for. I groaned from the way he
picked me up and brought me down on his shaft.

“
You’re so fucking sexy. I
want you so much, Matt.” I groaned my desire, and threw my head
back, reveling in the sensations. I put my feet down on either side
of him and put my head back. He held me by the ass and ground me
into him. I arched back and put my arms behind me, finding a rhythm
as we joined our core. I reclined back, allowing him to hover over
me. His pace increased, our bodies moving steadily. My hands
reached out for anything to hold onto, trying to stop myself from
grabbing and scratching his beautiful body. Our breath was ragged,
but we managed to kiss. Even with us closely attached, I needed
him. He still felt so far away. I didn’t know if I imagined it
because of my insecurities, or if I sensed that he was holding
back.

“
Come for me, baby.” With
his thumb, he circled my clit as he thrust into me. I put my hands
on his shoulders and writhed up until the pressure in my core built
with orgasm. “I’m gonna come, baby . . . please.” With that
expressed need, I thrust up and came with a guttural cry. Matt
drove hard into me and came. He continued with small pumps until he
emptied himself completely. He fell over me and panted until his
breath evened out.

I stroked his back as the waves of
pleasure coursed through our bodies. We remained wrapped in each
other’s arms as our bodies recovered from the impact of our
passion. “I’m not going to survive these sexual exploits, if I
don’t consume a lot of liquids and food.” We laughed
easily.

“
You rest. I’m going to
take a quick shower and make us a quick brunch, so I can make the
roast. Then once that finishes roasting, we’ll go to my place so I
can pick up something to wear. It will give us plenty of time to
get ready for our dinner at six.”

“
Do you always have to
plan out everything step by step?”

“
Yep.” I gave him a peck
and pushed him off just enough to slink out from under him. I
walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower, setting it to my
favored temperature. I clipped my hair up before I entered the
shower and began rinsing myself before lathering up. I heard the
shower door open and Matt entered. He went in front of the shower’s
path and started rinsing. “I was expecting you.” I soaped the body
puff and started soaping his chest.

“
You’re incredible.” He
said before he kissed my forehead. I smiled and gave him a peck on
the lips. I concentrated on soaping every inch of his body and
turned him around to finish soaping his back and
buttocks.

“
I love taking care of
you.” I said as I rinsed him off. I rinsed the body puff and put
more soap to wash my body. I looked down trying to hide my blush
when I realized that again I said the word “love”. I hoped he
didn’t read into my innocent statements.

“
Let me.” He took the puff
from my hands and began soaping my body. He looked at me with
mischievous eyes and grin.

“
Don’t you dare,
Matt.”

“
What?”

“
I already know what that
look and grin mean. I have a lot to do. Just wash me and no funny
business.”

“
This would be so much
more fun if you just stand there and let me do my job.”

“
You’re awful.”

“
Am I?” He leaned in and
kissed my neck, taking the flesh between his teeth. I groaned. My
nipples hardened and my legs weakened, feeling the stirrings in my
core, as I held onto his shoulders. I bit my bottom lip, stopping
the urges that were threatening to overtake me. I felt Matt’s hands
start to wash the top of my back and slide down to my buttocks. His
soapy hands squeezed my buttocks, bringing me closer to his hard
on. I was surprised by his insatiability. The soap slid in between
my bottom heightened the sensations in my core. His arms started
flexing and I rose up on my toes. I gasped as he picked me up, and
I wrapped my legs around his waist. My arms wrapped around his
shoulders. “I want to fuck you so bad in the shower, but it would
interfere with your plans.” Undeterred, he continued to kiss me.
His tongue ran along my jaw to my neck, where he sucked my tender
flesh.

“
I’ll make it up to you
tonight.” I whispered before I kissed him deeply. He groaned as he
pressed me against the cold tiled wall for leverage. I yelped at
the cold on my back. His eyes were heavy lidded, desire etched on
his face.

“
What will you do
tonight?” He smiled. Oh, how I missed that smile.

“
All sorts of naughty
things that you shouldn’t think about now because you’ll want a
preview, and there isn’t any time for that.” I said breathily, my
heart beating fast. I bit my bottom lip as he ground against me a
few times. He lowered me until my toes touched the tile
floor.

He took the shower puff and washed me
from top to bottom, slowly and deliberately enticing me with kisses
and licks. He cleaned every part of me, much like he did the first
night he showered me. The emotions welled up in my eyes and I felt
the tears would spill. I chastised myself because I couldn’t
possibly feel what I was feeling. It was too soon. I’d joked about
it. But the reality was there. I was in love. I had fallen hard for
Dr. Matthias Keene. If this relationship doesn’t work, would I
survive the break?

***

I didn’t have any time to make the
roast. All of our extracurricular activities made it impossible to
get everything done. Matt took me home to pick up a few things. I
packed my best cocktail dress, a shimmery metallic dress with
capped sleeves. I also picked up my neutral heels and a few
accessories. Matt asked me to spend the week, but I packed enough
clothes until Tuesday morning. I planned on spending the rest of
the week at home. I was determined to keep my independence and
start taking it slower. I was under a sex euphoria, which clouded
my expectations and judgment. With the short talks in between all
the great sex, we haven’t defined what was happening between us.
We’ve jumbled the normal process of dating, and have fallen into a
monogamous relationship without the sex-free courting, which I’m
used to.

Matt let me get ready in the master
bathroom while he used the common bath. I took a quick shower. I
styled my shower dampened hair with the assortment of hair
products. Once I was done, I moisturized, deodorized and perfumed
my body. I kept my makeup light because I hadn’t mastered the art
of applying makeup, but I did manage to apply a dazzling shade of
red lipstick, which was my go-to makeup trick. After inspecting
every inch of myself I dressed in my dress and put on my heels.
Matt dressed in his walk in closet and saw the finished product
when he exited.

“
Wow! You look gorgeous.”
He walked over and pulled me by the hips to his body.

“
You look very handsome. I
love when you wear suits. You look so debonair.” His black suit was
clearly tailored to his body His broad upper body narrowed to a
slim waist and hips. He wore a black button down shirt without a
tie and left the top two buttons open. His long, wavy, salt and
peppery hair was damp and haphazardly styled. He’d trimmed his
growing beard. He looked so delectable.

“
Stop! You’re going to
make me hot and bothered and I’ll sweat and it’ll frizz my hair and
I’ll be so pissed at you.” I said, trying to pull away. He was
having none of it, and I felt his erection at my hip, as he nuzzled
his nose in my hair.

“
Maybe, I shouldn’t take
you tonight.”

“
What? Why?” I asked,
alarmed that I may not look appropriate.

“
Because I don’t want any
of my friends eye fucking you all night.”

“
Matt. I doubt that will
happen. I would give you a kiss, but I don’t want to ruin my
lipstick.” I said, lightly slapping his chest. I finished putting
the last item in my clutch. “Are we ready to go?”

“
Soon. I just have to
finish something in my office. Give me a few minutes?”

“
Absolutely.” He kissed my
cheek. I took my tablet and went to the living room to sit and read
a bit before he was ready to go to the restaurant. I read a few
pages before he exited his office.

“
I’m ready to go, babe.” I
turned off the tablet and put it on the side table. He extended his
hand to help me stand up from the couch. He walked ahead of me and
grabbed our coats from the closet. He deftly put on his light
overcoat while I wrapped my shawl around my neck. He helped me
shrug on my trench coat. As he stood behind me, he buttoned my
trench coat, working his way slowly from top to bottom while
skimming his hands over my body. I shivered under his touch. I
willed myself to stop getting wet at his touch. He held me to him
and brought his nose to my hair. “You smell so good.” He kissed the
back of my ear. I patted his hands, which were still holding me at
my belly.

“
Let’s go. The sooner we
get this over with, the sooner we can come home and fuck until we
pass out.” I whispered, pulling away, and opened the front door to
exit toward the elevators. I must’ve left him stunned because he
didn’t follow as quickly. I grinned at him as he quickly locked the
door. He walked fast to meet me at the elevator, and grabbed my
hand as the doors of the lift opened, an older gentleman exited the
elevator and we bid him a ‘good evening’.

“
Yep. You’re going to be
by my side all night.”

“
Why?” I pressed for the
parking ramp.

“
Didn’t you see the way he
looked at you?” He stood close beside me.

“
No, Matt. I don’t go
around noticing things like that because I told you, I’m not
looking. You’re being silly.”

“
You have no idea, do
you?”

“
What?” I looked him in
his beautiful brown eyes.

“
You don’t notice how you
affect men? How they look at you? Not just your beautiful face, but
your body. When you make no effort in your appearance, you look
beautiful. But when you make yourself up like tonight, like at the
club, you’re ravishing. I watched how the men looked at you all
night. Do you remember how many men went up to you?”

“
They didn’t just go up to
me. They went up to my friends to. It didn’t mean
anything.”

“
Perla, the men tried to
talk to you, grabbed your arm or body, and looked at you from head
to toe. There were quite a few times where I was ready to lunge at
some guy that touched you or got too close on the dance floor.” He
seemed to get angry at the memory. I was stunned by his jealousy. I
was also aroused by his possessiveness. The elevator arrived at the
parking level. We exited hand in hand.

“
Listen, Matt. I don’t
notice because I’m not looking. And I’m with you, so I wouldn’t
even glance another man’s way while we’re together. I’m all yours.”
I reached up to kiss him when he opened the car door to let me. He
gave me a small peck, preserving my lipstick and preventing his
lips from being stained red. He walked around the car to the
driver’s side and within minutes we were on our way to Carve for
dinner with his friends.

When we arrived at the restaurant our
coats were checked and we were escorted to a room in the back.
Matt’s friends and their dates were already there. Everyone looked
like they came out of a high end magazine. The men were dressed in
expensively tailored suits. The women were dressed in tight dresses
that showed off their thin frames. They weren’t your average sized
women. They were tall, slender, enhanced and overdone. I wondered
if there was a photo shoot before dinner. Matt introduced his
friends, and each handsome male introduced his date. I shook hands
with each woman, limply returning the greeting.
