Being with Her (3 page)

Steve called me up this afternoon asking if I wanted to go out for a few drinks. It's been forever since we've been out so I told him I'd meet him there about eight but that I wasn't staying out very long. I have an early class the next morning.

We're sitting there laughing our asses off at the losers trying to sing karaoke when Paige walks in with some friends. They sit down and I watch as Natalie comes back with drinks, handing one to Paige. I can't take my eyes off her.

"Who's got you occupied?" Steve asks, nodding toward Paige's table.

"No one. Just thought I knew someone," I say. Just as they start laughing at me, Paige turns around and looks directly at me. I tip my beer to her and grin.

Hank elbows me. "Fuck, here comes Charlotte and she's headed straight toward you."

She immediately straddles my lap because that is what we always did. "It's been a while, baby. Coming home with me tonight?" She pouts.

"Not tonight," I say as she starts to grind up against me, wanting me to stroke her under her tight-as-fuck dress. I put my hands on her hips, pushing her gently away. "Maybe another time."

She stands up pouting. She leans over to whisper into my ear and I know that her ass is hanging out, showing the guys that she's nearly naked under there. "Come on, Gavin, my pussy has missed you." She strokes me through my jeans.

I push her hand away as I get up. "Not this time, Char." I walk away toward the bar to separate us. I watch as she stomps off toward her next conquest.

I order another beer and look over and Paige is gone from her table. I look around, spotting her grinding on the dance floor with some bastard. I stand there glaring at them when suddenly she looks up. I watch and see him grab her hips pulling her back against him and I lose it. I stomp over and rip him away from her. She turns around looking stunned and my only instinct is to grab her hand. "Come on." She immediately takes my hand and I pull her away from the dance floor past my table. The guys all cheer and I fist bump Steve and Hank as I continue pulling her out the door.

I had the most amazing night just being close to Paige. It was so natural being with her. The way she held me from behind as I raced down the road on my bike. Her kisses were like magic I've never felt with anyone before. I thought I was going to lose her when she asked about Charlotte. Fuck, people from the past always sneak back in somehow just to fuck our lives up.

After dropping Paige off, I start to leave and pull out of the parking lot. I stop at the light across the street. The streets are empty at this time of night so as I sit there, I look over, watching her place. I begin daydreaming about her taste on my tongue and, shit, it took all I had to pull away from her at the diner and at the lake. She felt so good that I'm scheming a way to see her again just so I can feel her body against mine. As I'm sitting there, the door she walked into opens and out walks Paige with a small child asleep in her arms. Holy Fuck, she has a kid. That was probably the family issue she had making her late to class and why she had a late start at college. The way she kissed me back, I assume that Daddy is no longer in the picture. Shit, what to do. She didn't tell me about a kid so I guess I will act as if I don't know and wait on her to tell me. Once I see her close the door a couple down, I pull out and head toward my house. I think about seeing her again but wonder if I should leave her be since she obviously has other responsibilities. I just can't stop thinking about her, though.

Next class, I see her; she looks amazing. I'm now having trouble keeping my eyes off her. I struggle to look elsewhere so no one notices my new infatuation with her. At one point, she looks up at me and she has a small smile on her face. I give her a small nod that hopefully isn't too noticeable. At the end of class I feel like she wants to hang back to say something but Natalie drags her out the door and away from me.

Rest of the week is uneventful and Friday evening I finally drag my ass to the store to pick up some groceries. I hate shopping but food is a must at some point. As I'm down the breakfast aisle, I hear a little girl that is sounding pretty persistent about a cereal she obviously wants. I look down the aisle and standing at the opposite end is Paige with a small blond girl sitting in the front of the shopping cart. Paige looks up and that's when our eyes connect. We are like magnets when we're in the same room. Our eyes always find each other. She seems to want to turn around and head away but the little one is fussing over her cereal. I start to walk toward her down the aisle. My mind is racing on what to say to my blue-eyed angel. She looks beautiful wearing a short jean skirt and a blue tank top that brings out those deep blue eyes.

My next time in Gavin's class we can't keep our eyes off one another. I smile at him and he nods his head letting me know he’s thinking about me. As soon as the class is over I want to stay and say something but I can't find the right words. Doesn't matter anyway; Natalie grabs my arm and tugs me out the door.

"What the hell was that with you and Professor Wright?" Natalie pushes me, smiling.

"I don't know what you mean." I try to play the innocent card.

"I saw how you both practically undressed each other with your eyes." She winks as we head toward the cafe.

**

Addy and I are out picking up a few groceries when she spots her favorite cereal, Captain Crunch. She begins begging and whining for it. I try to shhh her but it’s no use; she's already seen it and we are going to have to get it now. I look up while she continues to fuss for her cereal and see Gavin standing on the opposite end of the aisle.

Next thing I know Gavin is heading our way. I try to turn and escape out of the aisle but Addy is going crazy over the cereal. He doesn't know about Addy and he has a confused look on his face. Addy is still yelling 'crunch crunch' which is short for Captain Crunch. Gavin pulls his cart up next to mine; he looks over at Addy and smiles.

He reaches for the box of cereal and hands it to her. "This what you like?" She grins and nods to him.

He looks up at me. "Hi, Paige."

I smile. "Hi, Professor Wright."

"Call me, Gavin, please." He grins.

"Gavin," I repeat.

He looks back at Addy and looks over to me. "She's beautiful, just like her momma?"

It's a question. He's trying to confirm if she's mine. I nod. "She's my princess," I say and Addy giggles. She loves being a princess.

He stands there staring for a couple moments then steps closer. "I've thought a lot about you lately, Paige, and that night with those kisses."

I feel myself blush and look down and nod. "Yeah, me too."

"What's her name?" I look up and see he is looking between Addy and myself.

"Addison, but I call her Addy ... she will be two in January." He is still standing close enough that I can smell him. He smells like he just jumped out of a fresh shower. He's wearing jeans and black t-shirt. Up close I can see a few of his tattoos. Going down one of his forearms are stars and the other is a type of barb wrapping around his nice arms.

"Does she like spaghetti? I thought, if you're interested, I'd like to make you both dinner tonight? My place or yours, whichever."

"I don't know, Addy is a little shy." Of course, as I say this she holds her doll out to Gavin and says, “My baby.”

He laughs. "Yeah, a baby." He looks at Addy then to me. "Not too shy now ... How about it? Dinner?"

I laugh too. "Okay, my place. She'll be more comfortable there and can go to bed at her normal time."

Gavin does this half grin that speeds up my heart. "Okay ... say I'll be there at six?"

"Sounds good. I need to pick up anything?" I don't want to expect him to bring everything.

"Nope, I got it handled." He smiles over at Addy and waves.

"Okay, see you then." I start to push my cart out of the aisle.

"Bye, Paige," Gavin says, watching me walk away.

We get home and I clean up best I can with Addy following behind me. I can't believe he wants to cook us dinner.

**

At six sharp, my door bell rings. I realize I never told him which house was mine and I had also gone to Sarah's when he dropped me off that night. I open the door and he’s standing there with two bags in his hands. He's wearing a pair of faded jeans and has changed into a blue t-shirt that fits him perfectly across what I would assume is a very nice chest.

Addy runs up next to me giggling. He looks down and smiles. "Hey Pumpkin!" Addy laughs again and runs off down the hall toward her room.

I look at him. "I think she likes you." He laughs and nods.

I open the door wider to allow him to pass and he stops and bends down to kiss my cheek. "Hey," he says.

"Hey to you." I smile.

He makes himself right at home in my kitchen preparing his gourmet dinner. I sit aside to watch him work his magic. Addy continues to run throughout the house as she always does. He stops periodically to chat with her as she runs in the kitchen. "You around kids a lot?" I finally ask.

"My sister has two ... seven and four. They are a handful but I enjoy being around them." He smiles.

While the noodles are boiling, he continues to stir the sauce. He looks over at me and sets the spoon down and crosses over to me at the counter and kisses me so softly holding both hands on either side of my face. Just as he starts to deepen the kiss, Addy comes running into the kitchen. She is yelling, 'Momma, Momma', so I turn toward her a little out of breath to see what she needs while Gavin walks back over to finish up dinner. He glances over his shoulder and catches me staring at him and he simply winks at me and turns back around.

"I've wanted to do that again so bad," Gavin says as I pull out plates next to the stove where he's standing. I nudge him with my shoulder and grin.

Dinner is great and I tell him as much. He seems happy that I’m enjoying it. Addy definitely does ’cause she’s covered in spaghetti sauce. I clean Addy up and get her pajamas on. I sit her down to watch her favorite movie about a mermaid.

I push Gavin toward the living room. "You cooked, I can clean up."

"Won't argue that." He chuckles and I laugh. He wanders over to the sofa and sits with Addy. I hear him asking her about the mermaid and the funny crab. After a while I no longer hear them talking and look over and Addy is asleep next to Gavin and he is watching me in the kitchen. I walk in and pick her up and tell Gavin to 'give me a minute.' I lay her down in bed and kiss her forehead and close the door behind me.

I walk back into the living room and laugh ’cause Gavin is watching this mermaid movie with an amused look on his face. "Kids really love these movies?" He laughs as I walk over and sit next to him with several inches between us.
"Yeah, you get used to them. This one was actually one of my favorites as a little girl too," I say as he looks over at me.

His look sobers. "Addy is beautiful and so full of energy."

"She's great. She is all I have; she's my world." I smile over at him.

He grabs my hand and pulls me closer to him. He shifts a little and pulls me over onto his lap so I'm now straddling him. I whisper, a little breathless, "Gavin". My skirt is now bunched almost to my waist.

"Shhhh." He rubs a finger across my lips. "I don't know what it is, but there's just something about you." He leans over and brushes his lips against mine and moves his hand through my hair. "You're so beautiful."

I feel my face and neck blush at his compliment. I reach out to grab a hold of his shirt at each side as he continues to kiss me. He moves from my lips and works his way down to my jaw. Pulling my hair back, he continues down to my neck and over to my ear. As he does I can't help the moan that escapes me, it feels so good. He casually picks us both up and lays me flat on my back on the sofa and lowers himself over me. He raises his head to ask. "Is this okay, Paige?"

My simple answer is a nod and another moan as he runs his hand down to the hem of my shirt; he lifts his head and looks at me as if asking permission to rid me of my shirt. Again I just nod. I rise up to help allow my shirt up over my head. He just stares down at me in my white lace bra and jean skirt.

"You're so fucking beautiful, Paige." He lowers his face down to my one breast and nuzzles it with his nose while he lowers the cup of the other. He begins to twist my nipple with his thumb and finger. I arch toward his touch. He slides his mouth over to my exposed nipple and sucks hard. I cry out at the pain and pleasure of it. He reaches behind me and unclasps my bra, pulling it away from my body.

"Tell me if I need to stop, Paige." His breathing is becoming heavier.

"No, don't stop," I pant.

Once again he lowers his mouth to my nipple and continues to suck and torture them to stiff peaks. I can feel his erection pressed against me. I pull his shirt up and he releases my nipple to help allow his shirt off too. His chest is even better than I imagined. His chest and abs are mouth-watering and his muscles flex as I move my hands up and down his chest. He has several more tattoos on him that I am too preoccupied to examine at this moment.

He stands up suddenly and pulls me up with him. He grabs me from behind my thighs and lifts. I automatically wrap my legs around his waist as he starts to head for the hall. He looks at me and I point to my door. He closes the door behind us and lowers me to my feet.

“Is this okay, Paige?" he questions again.

"Yes, Gavin, it's okay," I answer, with my breathing labored.

"Thank fuck ... I’ve been dreaming about you since I first saw you in class." He brings his hand up to the waist of my skirt and unsnaps the button and lowers the zipper. It falls to my feet and I step out of it, standing bare before him in only my white lace panties. He picks me up again and walks us to my bed lowering me down. He stares, taking me all in as he begins to unbutton his own jeans. He pushes them down and steps out of them, standing before me in a pair of boxer briefs. He looks delicious, from his chiseled chest to the V that disappears into the waist of his briefs. I can see the outline of his erection straining against the fabric of his briefs. He starts to slowly pull my panties down my legs and I have a shiver run through me. He chuckles. He lowers his head and begins kissing his way down my stomach toward my sex. I begin to panic, no one has ever been down there in this way before. He senses my panic and looks up with a concerned look on his face.

"No one's ever ... you know." I nod toward my now damp sex.

He smiles. "I'm honored to be your first ... I’m going to make you feel so good, baby. Your pussy is so pretty and pink."

He begins to kiss the inside of my thighs. He takes a deep breath in and mumbles something about my sweet smell and I jerk my head up. "What?"

He chuckles. "Baby, you smell amazing and I'm about to taste that sweet pussy."

I lay my head back down, his filthy mouth arousing me more than I already am. The moment his tongue swipes between my folds, I arch my back and let out a small whimper. I grip the sheets on each side of me as he starts his assault on me. I feel him insert a finger into my warmth as he sucks down hard on my clitoris. I'm moaning now and squirming around. This feeling is unlike anything I've ever felt. He's holding my thighs apart with one hand as he thrusts a second finger into me. He continues to suck and lick, suck and lick. As he latches onto my clit one final time, his hand moves from my thigh and he pinches my nipple. I scream out his name over and over again.

He crawls up my body and kisses my neck. "That feel good, baby? Your pussy fucking tasted amazing, just like I knew it would."

"Oh my God, Gavin ... Please fuck me. I want to feel you inside me." I feel kind of dirty talking that way, but he makes me feel things I never have before.

He chuckles and slides his briefs off, grabbing the condom he must have laid next to us on the bed. He rolls the condom down his shaft. I lay there staring at his penis that is about to devour me. It is engorged and straining toward me. He kneels back down between my legs and starts to kiss my neck, moving toward my ear just as I feel him push into me. He instantly stills to allow me to get accustomed to his size.

"Damn baby, you feel amazing. You feel your pussy gripping my cock?" I grab his face between both hands.

"Gavin ... move; I want to feel it." I crash my mouth to his and he opens for me, tongues battling each other. He begins to thrust in and out. I wrap by legs around him and meet each of his thrusts. I've never felt this way with sex before.

"Harder, Paige? ... You want it harder?" Gavin is panting into my ear.

"Yesssss ... Harder and faster, Gavin," I cry.

Suddenly he pulls out and flips me onto my stomach. He jerks my hips up and slams back into me from behind.

"Fuck, yeah, Paige, you feel so good, baby." He reaches between us and presses against my clit and I scream into the pillow.

"OH MYGOD GAVINNNN," I continue screaming.

Two more thrusts and he stills, jerking a couple times, emptying himself. He relaxes over my back but making sure not to put too much weight on me. After a few minutes, he pulls out and walks over to the bathroom to discard the condom. I collapse onto my stomach, allowing my breathing to return to normal. He comes back and lays down next to me, pulling the covers over both our naked bodies. He shifts us so my back is to his front, he kisses my shoulder and stretches his arm around my waist.

We lay there a while in silence. "You okay, baby?" he whispers.

I put my hand over his at my waist. "Yeah, more than okay."

He chuckles. "My baby like it hard?"

"I guess sometimes," I smile, loving when he calls me baby.

"Close your eyes," he whispers. He doesn't have to tell me twice as I start to doze off with the biggest smile ever.
