TOMMY GABRINI 2: A PLACE IN HIS HEART (14 page)

CHAPTER TEN

Tommy
sat at a back booth inside Diamante’s and stared out of the window.
 
Grace had just arrived in her Dodge Charger
and was handing the keys to the Valet.
 
Although she loved that little Charger, Tommy knew that wasn’t going to
work.
 
He also knew he was going to have
to be careful, when he broached the subject.
 
But it was a fact.
 
She needed a
car upgrade.

But
her clothes, after that trip to Rodeo Drive, were now dead on.
 
She was dressed sharply, Tommy thought, in
her Versace skirt suit, and when she entered Diamante’s he could see the guys
go out of their way to check her out.
 
But they were wasting their time.
 
That beautiful black woman coming toward him belonged to him.
 
And him alone.
 

He
knew it sometimes didn’t seem so, given the long hours she worked and given how
often he was out of town, but that was why he insisted they get together
tonight.
 
He needed to slow his business
trips down, and Grace had been at the helm of Trammel long enough now, he felt,
that she could start focusing elsewhere.
 
Namely on him.
 
But as he stood to
greet her, he saw more concern than any
thrilled
to be there
vibe in her eyes.

“Hey,”
he said as he took her hand and they kissed on the lips.
 
He stared into her eyes.
 
“How are you?
 
Hectic day?”

“As
usual,” Grace said as she sat at the booth, not across from him the way she
normally sat, but beside him.
 
She needed
to feel his nearness.
 
He immediately
placed his arm around her waist, which warmed her.

“Something
happened?” he asked.

Grace
hesitated, and then responded to him.
 
“I
demoted Nayla,” she said, and then looked at him.
 
He could see her anguish.
 
“I hated to do it, but I would have been a
sham if I allowed her to continue as a department head when her work ethic is
so horrible.”

“It’s
gotten worse since you’ve been in charge, hasn’t it?”

Grace
nodded.
 
“Yeah.
 
She’s barely in her office an hour before
she’s supposedly out in the field checking on drivers and meeting with
clients.
 
Only there’s no record of any
meetings and most of the drivers are complaining that she won’t return their
phone calls, let alone meet with them.”
 
Then Grace frowned.
 
“She’s
definitely gotten worse.”

“Nayla
has serious issues with your success.
 
It
has probably been her issue for a long time.
 
It’s just catching up with her now.”

“I
guess you’re right.
 
She’s been giving me
hell.”

“And
you give it right back to her.
 
Fire her
if it comes to that.”

Grace
frowned.
 
“I pray it doesn’t come to
that.”

“But
if it does, don’t you hesitate.”

Grace
nodded her head.
 
She was glad to know
that Tommy was standing firm with her, but it wouldn’t have mattered if he
wasn’t.
 
Every move Grace was making at
Trammel, moves that weren’t endearing her to anybody, were absolutely necessary
for the future success of that company.
 
Her employees didn’t know it, nor would many of them admit it even if
they did, but her controversial actions today all but guaranteed that they
would have employment tomorrow.
 
But all
they saw now was how bitchy she was, and how, as many have commented, the power
had gone to her head.

After
the wait staff took their order, Tommy looked at Grace.
 
He could see dark circles under her
eyes.
 
“You’re working too hard,” he said
to her.

“And
you aren’t?” she asked with a smile.

“You
know what I mean.
 
I can shuffle a number
of different matters.
 
This is new to
you.”

“I
know.
 
But I just need to get it right,
that’s all.
 
I want to get this right.”

Tommy
squeezed her.
 
“You’ll get it right, stop
worrying about that.
 
You’ll be fine.”

Grace
knew it was true too.
 
She needed to slow
down.
 
But taking over Trammel had
consumed her entirely in recent weeks.
 
This was the first time, in fact, that she and Tommy had actually been
able to meet for dinner in weeks.
 
If he
wasn’t out of town, she was tied up in meetings of her own.
 
And even tonight she had wanted to beg off,
suggesting tomorrow night would be better.
 
But Tommy said no.
 
They were
going to go out and have dinner tonight.

He
also insisted, after dinner, that she drive to his house.

Grace
started to ask why as they walked toward her car.
 
But she knew why.
 
It had been a while since they last slept
together, and Tommy was obviously a little edgy.
 
Whenever he preferred that they go to his
house rather than hers, she knew it was because he wanted to be able to take
her there, sexually, without fear of disturbing the neighbors.
 
Given the size of Tommy’s house, nobody was
going to hear a thing.

She
got into her Charger, and Tommy got into his red Ferrari, in contrast to his
brother’s white Ferrari, Grace often thought amusingly, and he followed her to
his home.
 

He
slammed her against the front door as soon as he closed it, slung off her skirt
and panties, and then lifted her until her legs were across his shoulders.
 
And he buried his face between her thighs.

Grace
knew Tommy was addicted to her cunt.
 
He
rarely ever had sex with her without licking her folds in those long, slow
drags she loved.
 
And this time was no
exception.
 
He licked her and slid his
tongue between her folds until he was kissing her there, and sucking her there,
and
eating
her there.
 
She lifted her hands over her head as Tommy
worked it.
 
They were standing in his
massive foyer, with the silence in the room a mere background prop to the
sounds of his mouth-fuck, as he ate her until she was so moist, and so sensual,
that she almost came.

Instinctively
realizing it too, Tommy grabbed her up in his arms and headed for the
stairs.
 
He was unbuckling and unzipping
his pants as he walked.
 
It had been too
long for him.
 
Not having Grace beneath
him now had him desperate with the need to have her there.
 
So desperate that they didn’t make it to his
bedroom.
 
They were halfway up when Tommy
laid her on the stairs, pulled out his dick, and shoved it in.
 
He had to get a taste now, he had to screw
her right this moment, or he was going to cum outside of her.

He
screwed her hard.
 
Right on the stairs of
his big home.
 
Her hands latched onto
either side of the railing as Tommy thrust into her with hard shoves that made
her feel the explosion of his arousal with every stroke he made.
 
He grunted in a hard, rough grunt with every
thrust.
 
Her head was lobbed backwards as
he fucked her, which made her look so sexy to Tommy that he placed his hand
around her neck, pressuring it to heighten her pleasure.
 
And it worked.
 
She began to scream.

Her
small body was taking the blows in a way that made him know she loved it
too.
 
He slung her blouse and jacket up,
exposing her bra, and then he slung that up too.
 
At first he just looked at her large breasts
as they bobbed wildly from the impact of his thrusts, and then he put his mouth
on it.
 
He licked and sucked her so hard
until every one of her senses were so aroused that she couldn’t help it
anymore.
 
She started cumming.
 
She slung her legs between the rails, as she
came.

As
soon as she opened her legs as wide as she did, it became too much for
Tommy.
 
He started cumming too.
 
He grunted
oooh
so loudly that it seemed to echo throughout the home.
 
He pushed into her with his final push and
released with a torrential release.
 
He creampied
Grace so definitively that he could not force himself to stroke again.
 
Not even once.
 
And when he pulled out, his cum poured out of
her in such a thick whiteness that it saturated, not just her cunt, but her thighs.

After
their cum Grace was still lobbed backwards, but when she lifted her head and
looked up at him, she knew, by his sensual look alone, that he was not through
with her yet.

He
grabbed her into his arms and carried her to bed.
 
He undressed himself, and undressed her, and
by the time he placed her on the sheet, underneath the covers, he was aroused
again.
 

She
was still dripping with his cum when he laid on top of her and entered her
again.
 
Although this time it was a
wonderfully slow fuck, it was just as intense.
 
She held onto him as he rode her cunt. He rode it with long, masterful
strokes that sounded as if he was sloshing around and stirring liquid, rather
than stirring her sexual desires.
  

He
kissed her on the lips and then wrapped her in his arms, as he fucked her.
 
He was making such tender love to her body
that she stretched and moaned and settled down to an incredible place of
serenity.
 
He fucked her in ways that
made every fiber of her being come alive with sensuality.
  
And this was her man.
 
This gorgeous creature on top of her,
muscular and sweaty and all man, as he grunted and moaned too, was all
hers.
 

And
when they came, they came together.
 
Usually it was one and then the other, but not this time.
 
They came together.
 
Tommy pushed in while her cunt pushed out and
they both released to a thunderous ejaculation.
 
So thunderous, in fact, that they still felt the tremors well after the
release.
 

Grace
ended up so saturated that Tommy had to clean her up, not only with a cloth,
but with a big-ass bath towel too, before he could even carry her to the
Jacuzzi.
 
But when they got into the
Jacuzzi, with his dick still red from overuse, and her cunt still on fire
because of that overuse, Tommy’s strength deserted him.
 
And he fell asleep.

Afterwards
they were in bed, snuggled together, and watching a movie.
  
Then commercials came on.
 
A car commercial.
 
This one for a Hyundai Sonata.

“That
reminds me,” Tommy said, as they watched the commercial.
 
“I want you to begin a car search.”

“A car
search?” Grace asked as she looked at him.
 
Then she looked back at the TV.
 
She didn’t get it.
 
“For a Hyundai
Sonata?” she asked.

Tommy
smiled.
 
“For whatever car you want.
 
Just as long as it’s a luxury car.”

“I
have a nice car, Tommy.”

“I
know you do.
 
But I want you to have
something more.”

Grace
understood about the clothes.
 
But the
car?
 
“If I wanted a new car, which I
don’t, but if I did, I can buy it myself.”

“You
won’t take a bigger salary at work yet,” Tommy reminded her, “so I don’t know
how you figure you can buy anything at this point.”

“I
want to earn more money, you know I do.
 
But the funds just aren’t there.
 
That’s why I can’t take a bigger salary yet.
 
Jillian was borrowing so much against the
company’s assets, in the name of T&D, that I’m working overtime to figure
out what those bills she racked up actually paid for, first of all, and then to
get those bills paid.
 
And I have to get
them paid before I can even think about pulling money out.”

Tommy’s
heart swelled with pride.
 
He would have
expected nothing less from her.
 
He
looked at her hair, and began to rub its softness.
 
“I knew when I made that decision to turn
Trammel over to you that you would do right by it, babe,” he said as he
rubbed.
 
“I knew you would.
 
You’re sacrificing to get it back on track,
and I think that’s exactly the way to go.
 
That’s what the boss should do.”
 
Then he looked at her.
 
“But just
so you’re clear: Your sacrifice is not mine.
 
I take care of you.
 
I pay your
bills.
 
And if you start earning a
million dollars or more, I’ll still take care of you.
 
I’ll still pay your bills.
 
Just so you’re clear.”
