by Wood, Lauren


  “So truth is, that I'm hard as a rock and all I want to do is be inside of you. Maybe if you would have given me more than just a little taste before we left, I wouldn't be in the situation that I'm in right now. They could bring the food out here, right now and it wouldn't be fast enough. All I can think about is burying myself inside of you.”

  She pulled her hand away from me and leaned back a little bit. I think for a moment, she was afraid that I was going to come across the table in my lust. I can't say that it would have been the last thing on my mind. It really wasn't. I wanted to be inside of her and if there was a way to do it right here, I think I would have done it. If she would have let me anyways.

  “You can wait just a little while. Maybe you need to work on your patience. I hear that it's a good virtue to have.”

  “I don't know about all that. All I know, is that I want you something fierce.

  “Do you want another kiss to tide you over?”

  I think she was actually trying to offer something to me, but unbeknownst to Bella, it would have been enough. I don't think she had any idea how badly I wanted her and a little kiss was it going to do it. I wanted to get close to her, feel her, taste her and none of that required her lips.

  I got a little closer to her, scooched the chair over to her side of the table and watched her react to the sound, as the chair scrapped loudly across the floor. Her anxiety went up and she visibly jumped when I touched her leg.

  My hand was hidden by the long tablecloth and it was just what I wanted. I wanted to be able to touch her, with no one the wiser. It was all I could do, touch her like this and I was going to take advantage of it. I knew no other way not to. If she was going to make me wait, I was going to have to figure some way to keep myself appeased. It was the only thing keeping me from ravishing her like I wanted to.

  My fingers played on her thigh, just above the knee. I moved the fabric of her dress up, so that I was touching her bare skin and she kept eying me sideways. I refused to look at her, instead, becoming interested in the waitress that was bringing us our drinks.

  Moving my hand up higher, I heard Bella gasp as the waitress stopped in front of the table. Bella wasn’t able to do much more than look down. I was getting closer to her core and I thanked the waitress. I had a feeling that she knew something was up, but nothing would be said about it. We had anonymity, even if it didn’t feel like it.

  When I reached her panties, I could tell that they were wet, and it made me need her more. My hardness was jumping in my pants and I couldn’t get the thought out of my mind. I needed her, badly and I had to feel the wet heat for myself. She was calling to me.

  Yanking her panties to the side, I saw Bella’s hands grip the side of the table. She wasn’t able to moan as I entered her, but her eyes closed, and her insides squeezed the digit that was penetrating. I could already feel her doing the same thing to my manhood and I was throbbing even worse. I was trying to get her in the mood, but I was only making it worse for me. I was practically gagging with need now.

  “Jack, you have to stop!”

  She was whispering and cutting her words at me. I wanted to tell her that I wasn’t going to stop until she came, but I didn’t have to threaten her. I felt a flood of fluid as her eyes closed and her knuckles went white. Watching the release go through her face, was almost as good as feeling it for myself. It was a sight to behold and I was finding it hard to pull myself together. Bella was magic and I hadn’t even gotten to feel her properly yet.

  What was she doing to me?

  Bella

  My heart was slamming in my chest and my hands were shaking. I think the worst part of it, was when I opened my eyes, I could see my food in front of me. That meant, that somehow in the midst of all, that the waitress had come back and I hadn't even noticed.

  “You know, for somebody who was starving, you haven't even touched your food.”

  My hands were still trembling when I went for the glass of wine. All of a sudden, my throat was completely dry, and I knew that he was waiting for a comeback. The problem was, I didn't have a comeback. Not after that.

  “I just need a minute, I think.”

  That got a bigger smile at Jack's face and I don't know why it bothered me so much. Maybe because he wasn’t supposed to take so much pleasure in how he messed me up. My whole body was buzzing like there was electricity flowing through me and when I looked around the restaurant, it was like I was seeing it for the first time. Before, there was blinder over my eyes, but now, I could see everything. It was brighter and I noticed a couple of people were looking at us.

  I hoped that I hadn’t made too many sounds. I don't think I've ever came that hard and I found it impossible to think that I hadn't made any noise. Maybe I'd literally passed out for a moment. I don't even know. He’d kept riding the small swollen nub, until I had to push his hand away. And then I was the one that actually moved my seat over away from him, so I couldn’t be in his reach. I couldn’t let him do that to me again.

  I look down at the food and I was no longer hungry. I was hungry for something else that wasn’t going to come from the restaurant or any menu. I wanted him to touch me like he had before. I was ready to go back to his place, but when I mentioned it, he shook his head no.

  “What do you mean, no? You were the one that didn’t want to come here. Said you couldn’t wait, remember?”

  “Yes, and now that we are here, and I got to watch you get off so spectacularly, I think that I can stand to eat a little. Might as well. I have a feeling that we’re going to need the energy.”

  His words made me shake a little bit and I wondered if he knew what he was doing to me. I think he did. The grin on his face was hard to deny. I moved closer to him again, my hand going on his knee. He jerked and that was far funnier than it should have been.

  “Let’s see if you are as easily distracted as I am.”

  I had every intention on driving him just as crazy as he had done me, but he moved out of my way very quickly and told me that it wasn't going to happen.

  I started to pout, and he just shook his head quickly. “There is no way that I'm letting you get your hands on me right now.”

  “That's not fair. You got to mess with me.”

  “Yeah, but you didn't come all over the place like I will. I'm so damn backed up. I think if you look at me the wrong way right now, I'm going to wet my jeans and then we're going to have to walk out of here in a very embarrassing situation.”

  I told him that I was willing to take the chance, but he made it clear that he wasn't. Jack was usually so serious, but at that moment, he looked at least ten years younger from the smile on his face. It was like I was finally getting to see a different side of Jack, the one that he didn't show to many people. I had saw this part of him before, when he was around Dana.

  To save us from any more attention, I decided that I would let it go for now. I had every intention on doing what I wanted later. Maybe when we were driving home, it would be a good time to mess with him. Then he wouldn't be able to get away from me.

  The food was great, but it was hard to pay attention to it, when Jack was just across the table. As much as we needed to talk about what happened at the bakery earlier in the day, I think both of us were trying to stay away from the topic. If we talked about it, then it would be real and there would be something that had to be taken care of. Right now, it was nice just to be together. I don't know what was going on between us, but it didn't really matter at the moment. What mattered was being together.

  After we got through the meal, Jack was ready to go, and I was right along with them. I was ready to get out of that place and I was certainly ready to get my hands on Jack. My body was still buzzing with the attention that he had given me before and my release, I felt like it was the least I could do to give him the same thing.

  I got in the truck next to him and leaned on his shoulder. I let him start up the truck and start on his way home, before my hand went back
to his knee. This time he couldn't get away from me and he growled underneath his breath, deep down in his throat.

  “I wouldn't do that if I were you. I think you're going to get more than what you bargained for.”

  At the time, I didn't understand what he was talking about. I thought he was just being dramatic and telling me that he was worried. I could obviously see that Jack was rock hard. Once I took him out of his pants, he was visibly throbbing and jerking around with the fresh air on his heated skin.

  “Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?” He was growling at me again and instead of waiting for him give me an answer, I stroked the hard meat in front of me. I watched it bounce up with the touch.

  I wasn’t too worried about how it felt in my hand; I was worried about how it was going to feel in my mouth. I stretched my lips to accommodate him and sucked him into my mouth. He made a loud groaning sound that got to me, making me even wetter than before. Quickly, I was throbbing and shaking.

  I didn't get too much time, before the man was bursting in my mouth. He had not been joking around, when he said that he was not going to be able to be played with that much. I had maybe got in a minute or two, before he was unloading down my throat and I had to swallow quickly, so that I could breathe. When I was finally able to, I saw that he had pulled to the side of the road.

  I wiped my mouth and sat up. Jack was staring at me like he was in some sort of trance.

  “Are you going to go, or what?”

  “Yeah. I’m going to go.”

  He looked confused and it was a sexy look on him.

  “Well, come on. We aren’t going to get there this way, if you don’t get to moving.”

  Jack was just staring at my mouth and I asked him if I had any on my chin.

  “No, nothing like that.”

  “Well, come on. You have to get us back to your place soon. I don’t think that’s going to be enough for either one of us.”

  “Speak for yourself.”

  That made me giggle, but Jack wasn’t finding the humor in it. He was still trying to recover, but there was no recovering from me. I didn’t want him to forget it either.

  Jack got back in traffic and we were finally on our way to his place. I didn’t think that I would be so nervous about all of it, but I was. I was worried about what came next, after the bedroom play. We were good at that, but what about the rest of it?

  Jack

  Her eyes popped open and I don’t know why, but they went for the door first. I was trying not to take that as a bad thing, but it certainly didn’t seem like a good thing. I pulled Bella to me and she smiled in that sweet way.

  “Why are you looking at me like that?”

  “I am just happy that you are still here. Last time I woke up you were gone.”

  “I said goodbye.”.

  I told her that it didn't count, if I didn’t remember.

  “Well we both need to get up and get to work, don’t we? The muffins aren’t going to make themselves.”

  I could tell that she wasn't very thrilled to get up and go. There were many mornings that the last thing I wanted to do was get up and go to the bakery, but I knew that it was for the best. It gave me some direction, at a time when I needed it most.

  I looked over at the clock and told her that we had a little bit of time.

  “We can't have that much time.”

  “You went to sleep pretty early last night. I went to go get us some drinks and I came back and you were out. It's only four in the morning right now.”

  She asked me if I usually got up this early and I told her that I did. I didn't see the point in mentioning the fact that I had changed the alarm clock a little bit. I knew that when I woke up, I was going to want to spend time with her before we left for the day. I had been thinking ahead, knowing I was going to need her this morning. I had not been wrong on that front.

  It wasn't hard to convince her what activity we should do to pass the time. I could only think about touching her. I felt lucky to wake up next to her, especially the way we had met in the first place.

  I wasn't going to think about what we needed to talk about, the big elephant in the room. For now, I was going to forget about it and just feel the woman next to me.

  We were on our way to the bakery and Bella looked like she was nervous. She just had this look on her face and I knew that we were going to now have to talk about what I didn’t want to discuss.

  “I know that we haven't talked about Billy much, but I really don't want him to show up today.”

  “Do you think he will?”

  “I didn't think that he would come all the way to Michigan to see me, but he's here. I didn't think he would get in a fight with you, but he did. I don't even know what he is capable of anymore. I knew that I wanted to get away from him. I feel like that was probably the best decision I have ever made, but I have no idea how to deal with him.”

  I had been thinking a little bit about it as well, because anyone that was messing with Bella, was messing with me as far as I was concerned. It had been a long time since I’d been dragged into this sort of situation. I could see how she could have twisted him up to make him do it. I don't think it was her fault though.

  It was a lot easier to have a little empathy for the man as well. I had a taste of her and all I wanted to do was hold on tight. I could imagine that he was now realizing that he had lost her, and he was trying to get her back. If I ever lost Bella, I knew that I would feel the exact same way.

  “I'm going to deal with him Bella. I doubt that he will come back, but if he is stupid enough to, then I will take care of him.”

  “What are you talking about Jack? You are a Baker.”

  “Yes, I am a Baker, but that doesn't mean that I haven't gotten it to my fair share of fights.”

  “Billy is not that way. I am surprised that he didn't have a gun with him the last time he was here. He is just dangerous Jack and I don't want anything to happen to you. I have seen him do some bad things.”

  Her voice trailed off and I was left to imagine what those bad things were. There had always been pain in her eyes when certain things were brought up and the man was one of those things. It made me want to hit Billy again. In reality, it made me want to hit him until he couldn't walk anymore. Or maybe even breathe. No woman should ever have that sort of fear in her eyes and I hated the man who had put it there.

  “You don't have to worry about me Bella. I promise you, that I am going to keep us all safe.”

  “What about your daughter? I don't want anything to happen to her or in front of her, because of him. Maybe I should stop working at the bakery for a while. Just until this all blows over.”

  She was starting to pull away from me and I wasn't going to let it happen. I couldn't, I was unwilling to let Bella go. So, any situation that ended with me and Bella apart, was not a good ending for me. I wanted to imagine us together. This guy was only a small blip on the screen. I was sure that it wouldn't be long, before he was out of our lives for good.

  “You are not going to stop working at the bakery. You are going to do whatever it is that you normally do. That is how guys like that win. Nothing is going to happen to you when you are under my protection. I won't let it happen.”

  She smiled and snuggled up against me. It wasn't as good of a feeling as when we were being naughty, but it was almost as good. I wanted her to feel safe with me. I don't know how she had found herself in my life, but I knew that I was going to protect her while she was here.

  We got to the bakery to open up. I wouldn’t see Dana until after school, but it was still strange to not have her dragging herself to the back room. I knew that my daughter wanted me to find someone and be happy, but I wondered how she would feel about Bella.

  “So, what do you want me to do boss?”

  “Just get started on the dough. I will be along to help, as soon as the order gets here. I want to make sure that everything is there. Last time, we were missing alm
ost two hundred pounds of flour.”

  She agreed and I watched her go into the back. I was still stunned by everything that had went on between us. It didn’t seem real, even though I knew it was. I had been waiting a long time for someone like Bella and I wasn’t going to waste any more time. I knew what I wanted. I wanted her. That was going to be all that mattered.

  I went out back ,because I heard the semi out there. It was a bit early, but the driver liked to get his work done early. I was more than happy to oblige him, because then I got this bit of my day done. It was a big order and it was almost an hour before I got back into the bakery. Most of the ingredients had to go into the walk-in cooler and then I had to rotate everything, so nothing would go bad. It was a lot to do, but I knew that I was going to have a nice view when I got back in.

  Everything was put up and I was putting on my apron for the shift. The dough should have been done, and I was a little surprised to not see it ready to go. Nothing was in the ovens either, so now I was behind. I couldn’t see Bella, so I called out her name, to see where she was.

  When she didn’t answer, I figured she was out back or maybe up front with a customer. The door was unlocked at six, so there could be some people upfront. I didn’t panic, not right away, but I had a feeling that something had gone wrong. Where would she have gone?

  Calling her name a couple more times, there were a couple of customers out front, but no one said anything about seeing her. I don’t know where the hell she went to, but all of the coffee that was poured, was done by the customers themselves.

  It was only then, that I started to really panic. I didn’t know what was going on, but I knew that she wouldn’t have just taken off like that for no reason. There had to be some reason why and I wanted to know what it was. Bella had to be in trouble. I couldn’t imagine her just jetting without telling me something. It just wasn’t like her
