“Tessa,” he said, throwing his head back and
laughing a deep belly laugh.
“Good God,
you are the most adorable thing I’ve ever laid eyes on.”
His hand reached out for hers across the
table and he entwined their fingers.
He
looked her straight in the eyes.
“No,
I’m not married.”
“I had to ask,” she said softly.
“I’m sorry.
It’s just that I dated a guy for a couple of weeks before I found out he
was married.
I’m usually a little
paranoid about it, but I guess I just got so swept up in you that I was afraid
to ask.
Afraid of the
answer.”
They had spent the last
forty-five minutes eating dinner, sipping drinks and talking about all sorts of
things.
She learned a little about his
parents and two younger brothers and the fact that he grew up in the Sarasota
area.
She found out that he went to the
University of Florida for undergrad and law school.
He was interesting to talk to and he was
interested in what she had to say, though she had been successful in steering
the conversation away from her own family.
Her family basically consisted of herself and her drunken mother.
She’d never met her father.
In fact, she wasn’t entirely sure who he might
be.
And her mother was always too far
into the bottle to ever have had another child to care for.
“You don’t have to apologize,” he said, giving her
hand a little squeeze.
“I’m not that
kind of guy.
I never cheated on my
ex-wife.
And I’d never do that to
you.”
Tessa’s eyes widened at his use of
the word “ex-wife.”
She knew there was
no way she was the first woman to claim him, but the idea that he had earlier promised
his life to a woman made her a bit jealous.
“Ex-wife?” she said, drawing out the words.
“Yes, Tessa, I was married,” he said.
He brought his pint of beer to his lips and
took a sip of the dark brew.
“I married Nicole
when I was twenty-two.
Right out of
college.
We graduated at the same time,
and we married the summer between undergrad and law school for me.”
“Why did you divorce?” she asked.
Curiosity had gotten the best of her.
Tessa didn’t know how much of his previous
marriage she wanted to know about, but she couldn’t stop herself from digging
deeper.
“I’m pretty sure I never would have divorced.
I took my vows seriously.
She asked for it,” he replied.
He took another sip of his beer and his gaze
fell to his pint.
But Tessa couldn’t do
anything but hold on to his hand tighter.
Was he still in love with his ex?
“The years of marriage through law school weren’t so bad.
She worked as an accountant for a small firm
in Gainesville as I worked my way through law school.
But afterwards, I took a job with Lowes &
Kravitz in St. Petersburg.
I wanted to
be a little closer to my parents.
And
her family was in Fort Myers.
She was
pissed that I didn’t want to stay in Gainesville, but I wanted to be closer to
the water.
Christ, Florida is all about
the beaches and sunsets, right?”
Tessa
nodded in agreement.
She couldn’t
imagine living anywhere where the beach was more than twenty minutes away.
“But she eventually agreed to move with me.
We got a small house just outside of the city
limits and Nicole found a job at an accounting firm in the city.
I was just an associate at the law firm and I
had to work twelve and fourteen hour days… sometimes seven days a week.
She started to hate me.
I had made her move to a city where she knew
no one and then worked my ass off until all I wanted to do was pass out when I
got home.”
He looked back up at her and
his eyes were sad.
“We fought almost
constantly for two years until she finally asked me for a divorce.
She just told me she couldn’t take being in
the marriage by herself.”
“I’m sorry,” Tessa said.
She had no idea what to say.
“I tried to convince her that it would just be
another couple years of these hours and then I’d be partner and things would
slow down.
I’d have more free time.
But I think by that time, she was seeing
someone else… someone from her accounting firm.
And even though I had taken my marriage vows very seriously, I could
already tell I’d lost her.
So, I didn’t
fight it.”
Tessa’s heart ached for
him.
He was unbelievably handsome and
sweet and sexy, and it seemed like he had really been heartbroken.
“And so you decided to just stay single?” she asked
quietly.
She needed to know if he had
given himself in that way to anyone else.
“I decided to put my job first,” he said smiling at
her as if he knew exactly what she was asking.
She felt her heart rate accelerate.
What he did to her with just a smile baffled her.
“Until now.”
He brought her hand up to his lips and
pressed a kiss against the back of her hand.
Tessa slid out of her side of the booth and into the
side where Greg sat, all the while still holding his hand.
She never wanted to let him go.
She tucked her leg underneath her bottom and
pushed up to press her lips to his.
He
moaned against her lips and she took that as an invitation to deepen the
kiss.
She thrust her tongue into his
mouth.
He tasted of dark beer and a hint
of the blackened spice from his grouper he had eaten for dinner.
It was an interesting and exotic blend for
her.
His hands gripped the sides of her
face and he licked deep into her mouth, tangling his tongue with hers.
“Tessa,” he moaned.
Her hand ran down his chest, feeling his hard muscles underneath.
God,
she wanted this man to be real… more than anything
.
She slid her hand further down to the
waistband of his jeans until she could feel his erection against her hand.
He was rock solid and straining against his
jeans.
She wanted to unleash him and
take him in her mouth… right there.
Her
fingers started to unbuckle his belt, but his hand grabbed hers.
“Stop, Tessa!” he said, breaking their kiss
and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before looking her in the eyes.
“I’ve been on the edge of exploding for a
while now.
And I don’t want to do that
until I’m deep inside your beautiful body.”
“Then we need to get out of here now,” she
whispered.
“Because I want to make you
come more than I want anything else right now.”
The look of shock on his face, though brief, made her giggle.
“Fuck,” he said, shifting to take his wallet out of
his back pocket.
He pulled out three
twenties and threw them on the table before scooting her out of the booth.
He grabbed her hand and quite literally
dragged her through the front door and into the parking lot.
It was a gravel and shell lot and with her
wedges on, she had to grasp his bicep to keep her balance.
The sun had set a little over an hour ago and
twilight had fallen.
The air was filled
with saltiness and moisture clung to her skin from the still high
humidity.
When they reached his BMW at
the edge of the lot, he spun her around and pressed her back against the
passenger side door.
He caged her in
with both of his hands on either side of her shoulders.
She had just enough time to look up at him
and see the lust in his gaze before he slammed his mouth down on hers and
kissed her like she was his source of oxygen… like he needed her to live.
One of his hands slid down her side and over
her hip.
He cupped her ass and pulled
her into him.
“Do you feel that?” he asked between licks into her
mouth.
“Do you feel what you do to me?”
“Yes,” she whimpered.
He felt huge and harder than granite against
her abdomen.
He was obviously bigger
than any guy she had been with and the thought did frighten her a little.
Though she wasn’t a virgin, she also wasn’t
very experienced and she’d never been fucked with such a large one… of that she
was sure.
“I’m going to fuck you fast and hard the second we
get inside my place, but once I release this fucking tension, I’m going to
spend the rest of the night making you scream my name.
Do you understand that?
I am going to make you come so many times and
fuck you so thoroughly that the only person you will ever remember fucking you
will be me.
Now, get in the car before I
take you right here.”
He slammed a rough
kiss on her lips before opening her door and letting her climb inside.
She watched from the passenger seat as he
walked around the front of his car.
Before he opened his driver’s side door, he took a deep breath.
He was obviously trying to calm himself.
But Tessa had no intention of allowing
that.
She smiled to herself as he slid
into his seat, buckled his seat belt and started the car.
He backed out the parking space and headed
toward the exit of the parking lot.
Turning on the roadway, he started driving towards Gulf Drive in
silence.
Tessa slid her hand across the console and onto his
leg.
His thigh tensed under her hand,
but he kept his eyes on the road and both hands gripped the steering wheel
tightly.
She heard the turn signal click
on as they made a left onto Gulf
Drive
, headed towards
what she imagined was his condo.
Her
hand moved slowly up his thigh until she felt the bulge in his pants.
The corners of her mouth slipped up into a
smile.
She did this to him.
She had some pride in that fact.
Her hand cupped him through his jeans and he
grabbed her wrist.
“Tessa,” he pleaded, still keeping his eyes on the
road.
She unbuckled her seat belt and
raised herself up to lick the side of his neck.
His growl was primal and his grip on her wrist grew tighter.
“Buckle your seat belt,” he ordered as he
pushed the gas pedal, moving the car through an intersection.
Tessa’s other hand came around and undid his
belt and the button of his jeans.
His
head went back against the headrest and he groaned.
He had to keep a hand on the steering wheel
so she knew she had him and he knew it too.
Her hand slid beneath his boxer briefs and for the first time she felt
his rock hard cock in the flesh.
He was
even bigger than she imagined, but she swallowed down the panic because she
wanted desperately to give this to him.
“I want to taste you now,” she whispered against his
neck.
Her hand freed him from his
underwear and her fingers wrapped around his girth.
Slowly, she moved her hand up and down his
length.
“Jesus Christ,” Greg moaned.
Tessa lowered her head to hover over the
bulbous head of his cock.
She had only
given one blowjob in her entire life and she wanted to get it right.
She wanted to please him like he did
her.
His earthy male scent invaded her
senses.
God, he smelled amazing!
Her
tongue flicked out over the head of his cock and his salty flavor made her
moan.
Gripping the base of his cock, she
licked the head again.
“I want to release that tension for you,” she
whispered against the head his cock before her mouth opened and engulfed him.
“Holy fuck,” Greg cried.
Her tongue swirled around the head and her
fist pumped his length.
She felt the car
swerve but she was oblivious to where they were.
Her entire focus was on his pleasure.
Her mouth came down his length until her lips
came close to her fist.
She was surprised
by how much of him she could take in the position they were in.
She was crouched over the console sucking him
deep into her mouth.
The car came to an
abrupt stop and his hand that was still grasping her wrist released her and he
threw the car into park.
His hands
weaved into her hair, brushing it from the side of her face.
Coming up his length with her mouth, her eyes
darted up at him.
His gaze focused on
where he disappeared inside her mouth.
He placed a little pressure on the back of her head and she slid her
mouth back down his hard cock until she felt him at the back of her
throat.
