The Touch Series Box Set

by t. h. snyder

  "Then I think it would be best if you stay at Derrick's house till I get back. Just in case, please." He tells me in a begging tone.

  "Ok, since you asked so nicely. I will just stay in your room. That way it will be just like sleeping next to you." I say while helping to take of his tee-shirt.

  "Thank you, Char!" He tells me and plants a kiss to my forehead.

  "Agh come on Riley you can do better than that." I tease.

  He picks me up and swings me over to the bed. He throws me down onto the mattress and jumps right on top of me. He holds himself up on his forearms so that he isn't hurting me and begins to trail kisses from my forehead down to my collar bone.

  I know he is teasing me right now, but just the mere fact of his mouth on my body has a million sensations going off all over me. I love his mouth, his lips, and his tongue. I can't get enough of him.

  "What am I going to do without you for two whole days?" I say to him in a very sad voice.

  "Oh baby, don't worry it’s only one night and you will be at work during the day." He tells me like it’s no big deal.

  "Will you call and text me so that I don't have a chance to miss you?" I ask anticipating his response.

  "Did you really have to ask? Now shut up and kiss me!"

  I love when he is so demanding and in control.

  My lips are on hers in a less than a second flat. The taste of her has me wanting more. I could devour this woman whole and still be needy for seconds. Her tongue searches out for mine and when they touch I feel a buzz of need shoot straight through my body.

  She runs her hands over my chest and down the lines of muscles along my stomach. She wiggles her way toward the bottom of the bed so that she can reach her hands inside my shorts. She pulls them down along with my boxers. I roll over onto my back to give her a little help and she’s finally able to spring me free. We are completely naked in front of each other and I marvel at the beauty that is this woman.

  "See something that interests you Miss Taylor?" I remark seductively.

  "Oh why Mr. Kincaid I do indeed. Do you mind if I take a sample of the goods."

  She scoots her way down between my legs and grabs a hold of me in her small hands. The feel of her touching me like this in her grasp is incredible. Her hands are soft and smooth and just perfect. I want to be inside her now, but with the way she is staring at me I think I will let her have a little fun first.

  She moves down the bed just a bit more so that she can have a better angle. I continue to keep eye contact with her and she licks her lips in the sexiest way. She has me so turned on that my body bucks under her and she knows what I want her to do next.

  She leans her head down onto my length and licks from the base of my cock to the tip of my dick.

  I let out a moan, "Fuck Char, oh god baby!"

  With that she takes me straight into her mouth sucking in all of me. I grab onto her hair and move my hips just how I want to feel her suck my dick. She lets me guide her and continues to lick, suck, and swirl her tongue until I can't take it any longer. I pull her up straight into my lap.

  Without hesitation I lift her onto me and I can feel myself pushing into her. It feels so good that I can't help but move. She rides me and I pump in and out of her until we are both screaming for our release.

  She lies down on top of me and falls into a deep sleep.

  God this woman amazes me more every day. I was beyond worried that the fight with Marc would scare her and push her away from me. She is the most resilient person I know and I am in such awe of her.

  Coming back here with her tonight and being in her bed is the only place in the world I would ever want to be. I am so relieved that she is willing to stay with Derrick while I am gone the next two days. I don't know what I would do if anything were ever to happen to her.

  I glance up at her as she lies across my chest and I wonder how the hell I got so lucky to have her in my life. I love her so much and she is just so incredibly beautiful. Her long, dark brown hair is sprayed across her back and falling down her face. I sweep a section from her eyes and push it back behind her ears. I watch her as she sleeps and cannot believe all of this is really happening to me.

  Right now I am still within her and I need to make sure she can have a restful night sleep. I lift her and lay her next to me. I quietly get out of bed and go to the bathroom to retrieve a warm wash rag. I clean up myself and pull on my boxer briefs. Heading back into the bedroom I carefully wipe down between each leg to make sure that every last drop of me is cleaned off her perfect body.

  She shifts to get more comfortable and I cover her with the blankets. I go back out to the bathroom, turn off all of the lights, and tuck myself in next to my girl.

  "Sweet dreams babe!" I say kissing her on the forehead.

  I am awakening with the aroma of coffee, bacon, and eggs. It smells delicious, yet it’s next to impossible to open my eyes. God, I am still so tired from the damn drama of last night.

  Riley must sense me starting to wake because I hear him chuckle under his breath and the bed is slightly shaking from his body movements.

  I know I need to get him to the airport and I need to drop off his Durango and pick up my Jeep all before work. Ugh!

  "Damn it! Ok you win I am up. What time is it anyway?" I rant.

  "It’s too early to tell you what time it actually is, but if you are a good girl I'll make all of this worth your while when I get back Friday." Riley says while tracing his finger up and down my naked back.

  "Well then I guess I better be a good girl and get my ass out of bed." I say with a silent huff.

  "Oh but what a fantastic ass it’s Miss Taylor." He says while swatting my behind and heads back to the kitchen. "Hurry up before your food gets cold."

  "Yea, yea, yea!" I whine with a smile.

  "What was that I hear? You're not whining are you baby? Because that would not be the behavior of a good girl Char."He tells me with a laugh.

  "Never, I am always a good girl. Just let me get on some shorts and a tee-shirt. I’ll be right out." I holler.

  Riley made a great breakfast, even if it was four o'clock in the morning. We quickly eat, shower, get dressed, and are out the door before five.

  We are so efficient together. I barely had to use my own hands to wash myself in the shower. And if our shower escapade wouldn't have lasted the extra 20 minutes we probably could’ve been out the door even sooner.

  But oh it was so worth it.

  I need to get in my Riley loving now because I won't see him again until Friday night at my parent's house for dinner.

  I drop him off at the departure entrance and decide not to wait because I need to do some car swapping at Derrick's place. I’ve only got an hour or so and I still have to get back to my place to change and head to work.

  Thank god for Derrick last night. I am glad Riley had him come just in case things would’ve gotten really out of hand. Plus Derrick was good enough to send the Jeep to his house so I wouldn't have to go over to Snides to pick it up today. My Savior!

  I am the luckiest girl in the world to have these guys in my life. Not that long ago I wanted to run away from it all. Some days I still do, especially when Chloe and Derrick drive me nuts and crazy ex-boyfriends come back for a visit from Tennessee. But for today I will let all the good soak in and call myself blessed.

  I pull into Derrick's driveway and park next to the Jeep. I don't know if he is up or not yet so I lightly knock on the door.

  "Shit!"

  Well if he was sleeping Manny's bark will get his ass out of bed. I can hear his feet thumping down the stairs and he opens the door.

  "Sorry Derrick, I didn't mean to wake you." I say in my sweetest voice.

  "It's okay Char. You want to come in?" He asks.

  "Nah, just need my keys and then I am off to go home and get ready for work. Riley thought it would be best for me to stay here tonight in case Marc came by my place. Is that okay?" I ask.

  "You don't have to as
k that, of course. Come over after work and we'll make dinner. We can do our nails and hair, and talk all about Chloe and Riley. It will be so much fun!" He laughs like he’s a little girl.

  "You're the best Derrick, see you around six." I give him a quick peck on the cheek and I am back out the door heading toward the Jeep.

  I manage to swing by my apartment, get ready, pack a bag, and get out the door before 7:30. Damn, I am on a roll today.

  I make my way over to the office and feel anxious for Riley. This is a huge move for him meeting with such big name clients. It’s also a great opportunity for him personally and for the growth of Taylor & Sons in the southeast. I know he has a lot of other things weighing on his mind heading down there and I only wish I could’ve gone with to support him.

  He said he would text me when his flight got in so I'll have to keep my phone on my desk. I don't want to miss that call or text.

  My morning at work is unproductive because I am worrying about Riley landing in North Carolina safe and sound. I feel like every 10 minutes I’m checking my phone.

  Finally, about half past 10 a text alert comes through.

  Riley - I made it! Call you later tonight, love you!

  I quickly respond.

  Char - I am glad, I was thinking of you. Good luck today, love you too :)

  Hearing from Riley finally puts my mind at ease. Now it’s time to focus on work; nothing like working numbers and not being able to concentrate.

  The rest of the day goes by quickly and I am anxious to have some time with Derrick tonight. It will be nice to catch up and see how things are going between him and Chloe. I can't imagine how hard it is to have the person you love live across the country. I really don't know how they do it.

  I guess when you are meant to be together not even thousands of miles can stand in your way

  The flight down to North Carolina gave me the time to think about how I was going to approach my sister again. It kills me every day knowing that our relationship has been ruined and I miss her like crazy.

  Even though Emma and I are 10 years apart, we still were really close growing up. Keith and I were even good pals. The death of my parents took a toll on all of us and I need to try my best to mend our family back together while I am down here.

  My flight lands at Piedmont Triad International Airport a little after 10 o’clock and my first call to duty is to find a rental car. I don't need anything fancy, just transportation that will get me to and from the clients and my hotel.

  I get myself in a black mid-size car and head over to the Embassy Suites where I’ll be staying the night. My meeting isn't until one o'clock so I figure I will unpack my stuff and try to reach Emma.

  I am seriously scared shitless to call my own sister and it really is a joke. We are fucking family for crying aloud. I should not be feeling like this.

  I dial her number and to my surprise she actual answers. I am fucking shaking.

  "Emma?" I ask.

  "Riley!" She replies.

  "Hey, um, I um. I am down here in Greensboro on business and really wanted to know if there is any chance I could see you tonight." I tell her holding my breath awaiting her response.

  "Riley! It’s so good to hear your voice. The way things were left was absolutely horrible on my part, but you have to understand. I don't think I’ve been in my right mind since Mom and Dad died."

  "Emma, you are my sister and no matter what has happened over the past few weeks I’d like nothing more to move past it all with you."

  "Oh thank god!" She exclaims. "Where are you staying while you are down here?"

  "I am in the Embassy Suites by the airport. Can you come by and meet me for dinner? I’d rather it be just us though for tonight. I want to talk to my sister without distractions and interruptions. To be honest Emma, I really don't think being around Keith is a good idea."

  "I understand Riley. I can be over that way around 6:30 tonight."

  "Good, thanks Emma. See you then."

  I disconnect the line and take in a sharp breath. Well that went better than I thought it would. I am so glad Emma is willing to meet with me and talk things through.

  I need to let Char know.

  I dial her cell rather than texting. This is way too good of news to send over text.

  Thank god she answers.

  "Char baby, guess what!" I say with excitement.

  I really do feel like a little kid I am so happy.

  "Hey babe, what's going on? You sound so happy." She says and I can tell she has a huge smile on her face.

  "Well you already know I landed and now I am at the hotel. I had some free time so I built up the nerve and called Emma."

  "That's great! Did she answer? Did you talk to her? What did she say? Oh sorry, I am just filled with questions for you." She says with a nervous laugh.

  "You are so cute! Well let's see if I can answer all those questions. Yes she answered, yes I talked to her, and she said she would meet me here at the hotel around 6:30. Did I get that all right?" I ask with a laugh.

  "Riley this is so great. I wish I could be there for you."

  "I need to do this just me and Emma. It will all work out. I can feel it." I tell her in a confident tone.

  "Ok, well be sure to call me later tonight. I am going to stay at Derrick's house. We have a nice little bonding night planned; you know the typical girl stuff. We are going to do our nails, hair, and take about our significant others." She giggles.

  "Sounds like fun, I'll talk to you later. Oh, and Char. I love you babe!"

  "I know. I love you too."

  Ah, this is an amazing feeling. I have the girl of my dreams, a great job working for an incredible contracting company, and I am going to get my sister back in my life.

  I get myself ready to meet with my client and gather all the plan details I brought with me. This is a larger client who is looking to build three strip malls in the area. It’s a nice size job that will bring in a lot of work for Taylor & Sons Contracting. A job like this is just what we need to get our feet wet in the south.

  I make my way from the hotel to the building location. "Here goes nothing Kincaid, you can do this!" I tell myself. A little pep talk never hurt anyone. This job is mine and I am going to knock this out of the park.

  I meet with three gentlemen expecting me. We discuss my business with Taylor & Sons and the relationship they have built with Bryce and his family over the years. I tell them that I have vast experience with a prior contracting company and recently relocated up to Boston. The men are pleased with the conversation and begin to inform me of the vision they share for the strip mall.

  We walk through the empty lot and head-on into one of the modular’s they have set up along the back property line. I review the plans Roger and Bryce have discussed with them in their last meeting and the plans we can anticipate moving forward.

  After a few more moments of conversation the meeting breaks and we go our separate ways. The gentlemen know to expect a final bid by the end of the day and I tell them I look forward to working with them in the future.

  I am stoked about the meeting and think it went really well. I head back over to the hotel and give Bryce a call.

  I share with him the details of the meeting, the plans and any changes they have adapted to the prior plan and what I can foresee we will need to make this job happen.

  Bryce is happy with the results and gives me the go ahead to send out our final details along with the official Taylor & Sons Contracting bid.

  Now all I need to do is wait till tomorrow and see if we are the team they choose to build their dream.

  I head straight over to Derrick's after I hit the farmer's market. I grab us a few steaks and some fresh veggies to grill along with some wine and beer. I figure a nice relaxing night out on his deck is exactly what we both need.

  When I pull up to his house I can see he too is just getting home. He comes over to the Jeep and helps me unload the bags from the market.

  We mak
e our way in the house and I tell him what I have planned for dinner. He is all for it, but suggests we get into some comfy clothes first.

  I head upstairs to Riley's room and shut the door. Once I’m fully inside, I am hit with the wonderful scent that is Riley. I quickly get changed and hop onto his bed. I’m acting like a teenage girl snuggling into his pillow and breathing in his scent. I am so head over heels for this guy and I can't wait to see him tomorrow.

  My thoughts are pulled away from my Riley obsession and I begin to think about what he must be going through right now. In less than a half hour he will be meeting with his sister. I can only hope that the conversation goes well with him and Emma. For his sake I want him to be happy and having Emma back in his life will be amazing.

  I hear Derrick tap on the door and I tell him to come in. He laughs when he sees me all curled up on Riley's bed.

  "Please don't tell me you are doing what I think you are doing." Derrick says with a laugh.

  "Um, well what does it look like I am doing?" I say kind of embarrassed.

  "Well it looks like you are all wrapped up in Riley's covers and pillow. You weren't sniffing them were you?" He asks covering his face to fight the laughter.

  "Fuck you asshole. I can't help it, I miss him." I say acting all shy.

  "You two are made for each other. It’s like neither one of you can stand to be away from the other without acting weird." He says coming into the room and sitting on Riley's desk chair.

  "It’s weird. The way I feel toward him is nothing like I did when I was with Marc. Riley and I connect so much more than Marc and I ever did. Don't laugh at me, but it's like he is my missing piece."

  "I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way about your sister. Look at all the shit Chloe and I’ve been through in the past eight years. Do you really think we would still be together if we didn't know we were the other's better half?"

  "Yea I know it. You and Chloe are a great example of two people that are meant to be together forever."

  "Well enough about our love drama for now. Do you think you can pry yourself away from Riley's pillow long enough to come eat dinner?" He says reaching his arm out for me to grab.
