Always Fraser

by A. K. Steel

  “Thank you.”

  I jump into bed behind Elly and wrap my arms around her, pulling her into me. Before long I can hear her even breathing. She must be asleep.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Elena

  This week has been a juggling act, between my shifts at the café, styling work with the boys, and trying to be at the hospital as much as I can for Dad. I haven’t had a second to think.

  Dad says he’s fine at the hospital by himself, but I know he’s not. He’s bored out of his brain and he needs someone to keep him company and to keep an eye on him.

  He was up this morning trying to help one of the nurses and lost his balance and fell again. He doesn't know how to take it easy, and he’s going to end up hurting himself. He’s lucky he just ended up with a few bruises this time.

  He’s not used to being the one who needs help, and he’s not coping with it. But he’d better get used to it. With months of recovery ahead of him, it's going to be a while before he’s back to his normal self and up and going.

  Fraser’s been amazing this week, so supportive, and the family has adjusted to us being together so it's not as weird anymore. Well, kind of, anyway. Drew freaks out every time we kiss in front of him, but he’s just going to have to get over that.

  Today I’ve been at the hospital most of the day and it's now 4pm. Fraser will be here soon to pick me up so we can head out and do a site inspection on a property near the beach. They’re just having some minor interior renovations done, and he’s asked for my advice on the colour palette. I’m picking up more and more work with them as people see the photos of the townhouses and can see how much of a big difference it makes.

  My laptop has become my best friend. I would’ve been screwed this week without it, but being able to work while I’m here with Dad has certainly helped me do it all.

  There's a knock at the door to Dad's hospital room and we both look over to see the same smiling face that's been looking after Dad all week, Dr Cove. He’s lovely and is doing a wonderful job taking care of Dad and reassuring him when he has questions.

  “Jim, Elena. Sorry to interrupt. Just here to do my rounds.”

  I smile up at him from my computer. “All good, you’re not interrupting.”

  “Jim, how are you feeling today? I heard you had a bit of a fall this morning.”

  “Yeah, but I’m better now, doc.”

  “Don’t worry,” I ensure the doctor, “I’m keeping an eye on him now. He won't get up to no good on my watch.”

  “I bet. You're a good girl, Elena. You’ve been here with him all week,” he says, with his sexy-as-fuck smile. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he’s flirting with me. Right in front of my dad too. Ballsy.

  “Hey, can you two stop talking about me like I’m not here? I may be old but I’m not deaf.”

  “Sorry, Dad.”

  “Let's check your stats then, hey, Jim.”

  Dr Cove goes about doing his normal checks on Dad and then writes in his chart.

  “Hey, Elena, can I see you out the front quickly before I go?”

  I make my way out the door of Dad's hospital room and stand in the hall. I wonder what he wants. Dr Cove follows me out. He is tall. I have to crane my neck up to him. “Is everything okay with Dad?”

  “Yes, sorry to worry you. He’s doing well. This isn’t about him. I was just wondering, once your dad is discharged and not my patient anymore, if there is any chance we could go out sometime?” he asks with that same sexy smile.

  “Like, on a date?”

  “Yes, like a date. What do you say, Elena?” His beautiful eyes meet mine. He’s definitely handsome, and in another lifetime, he would have been perfect, but he’s not Fraser.

  “I’m so sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I have a boyfriend.”

  “Fraser Davis, just here to pick up Elly.” Fraser holds out his hand to shake Dr Cove’s. Right on cue! Typical he had to walk in on the doctor asking me out. “Is there a problem with Elly’s dad? This little chat looks serious.” Fraser’s eyes are fixed on Dr Cove who takes a step back from me, putting a little more distance between us.

  “Everything’s fine with Jim. Nice to meet you, Fraser,” he says, shaking Fraser’s hand.

  “Hey, baby, how was your day?” I say, waiting for the reaction or overreaction that I know is coming. I wonder how much he heard of that little chat with Dr Cove.

  He wraps his arms around me, kissing me straight in front of Dr Cove. “It was good, gorgeous. But we’d better get going quickly if we're going to see that house. Better finish up with the doctor while I go say hi to your dad. He walks into the room, “Jim, how are you today?” his loud voice bellows.

  I turn to Dr Cove. “I’m so sorry about that. Thank you, I’m flattered, but as you can see, I have a boyfriend. Thank you so much for everything you are doing for Dad. We appreciate it,” I offer with a smile.

  “That's what I’m here for, Elena. Sorry I overstepped the mark. I shouldn’t have asked you. I’ll see you tomorrow on my rounds.”

  “It's fine, really. See you then.”

  I walk back in the room and I can feel how red my face is. That was so embarrassing.

  “Fraser, why did you do that?”

  “What, Elly? I thought I was very controlled. I didn’t get into a fistfight with the good doctor, just made sure he was aware you're taken.”

  Dad starts to laugh. “You two remind me of your mother and me when we were young. She had all the boys after her too. You’d better get used to it, Fraser. It's what happens when you fall for the best-looking girl around. That's why I married your mother as quick as she would let me, to put a stop to it. Good luck to you, Fraser.”

  “Thanks, Jim.”

  “Don’t go putting ideas in his head, Dad. Come on, Fraser. We’d better get going.” I lean down and kiss Dad goodbye.

  “Behave until I’m back tomorrow. No more helping the nurses. You're here to rest.” Dad squeezes my hand and smiles up at me, and even if I’m smothering him with my overprotectiveness, I know he appreciates it.

  I take Fraser's hand in mine and we walk out to the car. He whispers in my ear, “You're going to pay for that tonight.”

  “What? I didn’t do anything.”

  “Being so irresistible that men constantly want you.”

  “I can't help being irresistible,” I say, batting my eyelashes at him.

  “You’d better try.” He swats me on the arse playfully, and I yelp, jumping into his car as fast as I can so he can't do it again. Maybe he’s growing up. That all went down better than it would have a few months ago.

  Fraser

  After inspecting the house near the beach, we make our way back to Elly’s apartment. I follow her up the stairs, watching her arse in those tight jeans she wears. At this point I’m not sure we’re going to make it inside before my dick takes over and I have to fuck her right here in the stairwell.

  Instinctively, she knows what I’m thinking and takes the stairs two at a time in a race to the top. She opens the front door and peers inside.

  “The coast’s clear. No Indie in sight.” Before she has a chance to argue, I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder.

  “What are you doing, Fraser? Put me down,” she says, laughing and trying to wiggle free.

  “Not a chance. I need to remind you why you're with me.” I carry her to her room, throwing her down on the bed.

  “You going all caveman on me, Fraser, claiming your woman before the other Neanderthals can?” she laughs.

  I’m sitting on her, pinning her arms to the bed. “Damn straight! You're my girl, Elly, and the world needs to know it. But for now, I’ll make sure you remember, so you don’t go getting any ideas about the doctor, or anyone else for that matter.”

  “Fraser, you know you're the only one I want. You can stop carrying on.” She wiggles beneath me, trying to push me off her.

  “Well, if you think I’m carrying on like a caveman, I might have to fuck y
ou like one tonight.”

  “And how would that even go?”

  “I don’t know. Rough? Take what’s mine. Wrap your hair around my hand and pull it tight as I fuck you from behind. Bite you as you come, screaming my name. Something like that.”

  “Sounds like a normal night with you then!” she teases, still laughing at me.

  I smile down at her. She’s perfect like this, laughing, trying to tease me. “Well, what did you have in mind then?”

  “What if I want to fuck you this time, claim you? Show you that you have nothing to worry about. I’m all yours.”

  I let go of her hands and roll onto the bed beside her. “That sounds fucking hot. I’m all yours, gorgeous, show me what you’ve got.”

  She has a naughty twinkle in her eyes that I’m enjoying seeing more and more lately as she's becoming more adventurous with me.

  She stands up to the side of the bed and removes her jeans and T-shirt, standing in front of me wearing only a pale pink lacy bra and G-string. Peeking through the thin lace fabric, I can see her pink nipples of her perfectly rounded, perky breasts, which are just begging me to touch them. But I remember this is her show, so I behave, and wait for what she has in mind.

  She climbs over me, tugging at my T-shirt and pulling it over my head. She then moves her way down my chest, running her fingers over my abs as she arrives at my waistline where my jeans start. Her delicate fingers are making quick work unbuckling my belt and sliding down the zipper of my fly, wiggling my jeans down my legs and tossing them on the timber floor.

  She turns back to me with a sexy smile as she hooks her thumbs into the sides of my boxer briefs, biting her lip as she slides them down, watching my cock jump free. I like this side of Elly, she’s playful and sexy as fuck.

  My eyes are begging her to touch me, ease the tension that’s been building since I saw her talking to that doctor. The need to claim her so strong. But instead, she straddles me, as she runs her hands up the sides of my chest until our faces meet. She looks straight into my eyes, teasing me with her wicked smile. She knows what she's doing all right.

  She brings her lips to mine, slowly kissing me. Then her touch is gone and she’s placing small kisses down my chest, down my happy trail until she makes it to my cock. She takes me in her hands and licks from the bottom to the top, sending a shiver down my spine. She's driving me crazy and I’m finding it hard to just watch her.

  She makes her way back up again, swirling her tongue around the tip and tasting the pre-cum that's leaking out. Fuck, if it's not the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. Then she takes me in her mouth. My hands go instinctively to the back of her head, lacing through her hair, as she takes me deeper in her mouth.

  “Fuck, Elly, that feels so good.”

  I take over the pace, gripping her hair tighter and moving her head back and forth so I’m fucking her mouth. She pulls back. “Thought I was in charge here.”

  “You are, but you're driving me fucking crazy. I need to fuck you now.”

  She lifts her head, smiling at me as she removes her bra, dropping one strap at a time seductively like she's giving me a strip show, then unclipping the back as it falls to the bed beneath her. Her hands move to her panties as she locks her fingers in the sides of the lace, slowly sliding them down her toned legs. She knows what she's doing to me and she's in no hurry to give me what I want. My eyes are glued to her, watching her every move.

  She moves slowly back between my legs, but this time she spreads her legs, straddling me. My throbbing cock can feel the warmth from her arousal as she grinds on me, leaning her body forward and placing a small kiss on my lips. She moves over to her bedside drawer, pulling out a condom. Her hands are back on my cock, rolling it on. With no restraint left, I run my cock down the glistening slit of her entrance and push myself in as she lowers down onto my cock. She lets out a little gasp as I slide in balls deep.

  Her hips start to roll in small circles, getting used to my size, and I pull her down to me so I can kiss her again. As my hands roam down her body, feeling her silky-smooth skin, until they stop on her curvy arse. I dig my fingers into the flesh of her hips, as I pump my throbbing cock into her harder, and we start to move together.

  She breaks the kiss and rises so she’s sitting all the way upright, giving me a full view of her amazing body. Her tits bounce as she rocks her hips back and forth, picking up the pace, really giving it to me. She’s a fucking goddess. Her perfect body riding me, taking what she needs.

  I reach up and cup her tits in my hands, rolling her hardened nipples between my fingers as she continues to rock back and forth on my cock.

  Holding myself up, I suck on the right nipple while still holding the other, rolling it between my fingers.

  She throws her head back, “Yes, yes, yes!” she screams.

  And I can feel the muscles of her pussy tighten and contract as she completely loses control. “Fuck, Fraser.”

  “That’s it, gorgeous, come all over my cock.”

  She lowers her head to mine as I move slowly inside of her, filling her up with my own release.

  “Fuck, Elly! If that was you showing me I’m yours, I believe you! That was fucking amazing. You were like a woman possessed.”

  She smiles, all shy now, her face flushed with little beads of sweat forming on her hairline. She looks sated and relaxed as she slides off me, rolling onto her side and placing her head in the crook of my arm. “See? You have nothing to worry about. I’m all yours,” she mutters sleepily.

  I never thought I would be in this position, but the connection I feel with Elly is overwhelming, in a good way. I don’t want to leave her side. I’ve been staying at her place most nights since her dad got sick, and our connection is getting stronger every day. When I’m with her, I forget all the shit from my past, and all I can see is our future.

  Today, even though it's a Sunday, I’ve been at the office finishing off some work for this week. Elly had a busy day of shopping planned with Indie, for their styling business, so I took the opportunity to catch up while I could.

  Before I head back to Elly’s tonight, I need a change of clothes for tomorrow, and I’d better check in with Blake. It’s been two weeks since Jim had the heart attack, and his recovery is going really well. Some days are better than others, but the family are all staying positive and getting on with what needs to be done. He’s back at home now and Elly has been taking him to his appointments and looking after him as best she can so Anne can still work. It was hard for her to get time off at such short notice.

  Hopefully, I can get in and out of here quickly then be back with Elly in time for dinner. I wouldn’t admit this out loud, but I’ve missed her today. It's amazing how fast things are moving with us now that her family finally knows what's going on. I can see our whole life playing out in front of us, and for once, I’m not scared of what the future holds. I want it all with her. Marriage, kids, the perfect house with the white picket fence, just like the family she grew up in. My chance for a real family.

  I pull up at our house and have to park on the curb. I wonder who owns that red sedan parked in the driveway. Maybe Blake has got himself some pussy after all. Good for him.

  As I walk in the front door, I can hear Blake talking to a female. He sounds serious but that’s standard Blake. He would be like that with a date as well, I imagine. But as I look to see where the voices are coming from, I see him sitting at the dining table, and my eyes widen in fear when I see who he is with. My mum! I can feel the colour draining from my face. I'm not ready for a face-to-face confrontation with her. I thought hanging up on her the other week was clue enough that I didn’t want to see her. What the fuck is she doing here?

  Chapter Eighteen

  Fraser

  “Why are you in my house?” I know I’m being rude, but what the fuck is she doing here? I’m not giving her money just because she turned up at my house. Is she fucking kidding?

  “I’m here to see you, my boy. It's been way too lon
g. Come and give your old mum a hug.”

  Blake stands up. “I’ll give you some space to chat.” He walks down the hall to his room, and I’m silently begging him, with my eyes, not to leave me alone with her. I’m not sure what to do. I want to run back out the front door, but I know, now that she's here, I’m going to have to deal with her.

  “Come on, son, come sit with me. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. We have lots to talk about and catch up on.”

  I don’t move from where I’m standing in the doorway. I don’t want to go anywhere near her. She's not my mum, she's some stranger. Her face is the same, but she's aged a lot! Her hair now grey and her eyes sunken, she looks thin and tired, but I can tell she's the same woman I knew. She's here for one thing and one thing only. This is all an act to manipulate me so she can get what she wants. My bet, that money she was after on the phone call.

  “I know you’re not here to see me. You couldn’t care less about me and catching up on lost time. So, I’ll ask again, why are you here?”

  She smiles sweetly. “Son, of course I care about you. Come sit with me and tell me what's going on in your life. Your friend tells me you're doing really well with your business.”

  I have no words. The anger is radiating off me. How dare she sit here and pretend to be my long-lost family that actually cares about each other and wants to be involved in each other's lives. I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my body, she makes me so fucking mad.

  “Is your girlfriend's father all right? Your friend said he had a fall and is sick. I've come around a few times this week and you haven’t been here. Come, tell me about your girl. It's nice you have found yourself a girlfriend.”

  “Elly’s none of your business. Stop asking me questions, trying to pretend you care, when I know you don’t. If you did, you wouldn’t have left me when I was 14. What kind of a mother just walks out on her own kid?”
