Candy Canes: A Dirty Box Set

by Angela Blake

  “I can be serious,” he told her as he drank his coffee. “Just because the tabloids say I’m a rich playboy doesn’t mean I’m all bad. Bruce Wayne’s a rich playboy and he saves lives.”

  “Bruce Wayne?”

  “Batman,” he answered. “You know, from the comic books and movies?”

  Selena dipped the rest of her donut in his cup of coffee then continued, “You’re not a superhero in disguise.”

  “That’s not what I’m saying,” he said, “but I wouldn’t mind it though. What I mean is you shouldn’t just take me for what the public says I am.”

  Selena nodded, “That’s why I agreed to letting you take me out. I want to get to know you, Tom. I just have to tell you that I also don’t want to get hurt.”

  “This is a unique situation we’re in, isn’t it?” he asked in response. “Usually people get drunk, sleep together, then go their separate ways or people date, stay together and then start sleeping with one another. We’re kind of in a weird gray area in between.”

  “Weird because I’m not your fuck-buddy but also not your girlfriend?”

  Tom nodded and finished off his coffee, “So, let’s head off?”

  “To the park?” she asked.

  He nodded back.

  “Sure,” she then answered and they headed out of the shop and back to his car.

  On their way they stopped over for a few cans of root beer and hotdogs. Selena had hers in a bun, layered with hot sauce, cheese and ketchup. Tom had his on a stick, topped with just cheese. They ate a bit while on the road and Tom let her play her music from her phone. For the most part, it was the most fun Selena had in a while and the best thing was how unfiltered it was. There was no beer, no sex, no partying and nothing broken about it.

  Tom had to park a long way from the park entrance because there was no parking area. Neither of them really minded it though and it gave them a chance to continue talking while walking.

  He took her arm and they walked side-by-side, closely, as they went down from the parking lot and towards the park. He then asked, “You got any family here?”

  “Hmm? No, I just live by myself,” she answered. “My parents split and they both live out of state. I have a younger sister; she lives all the way in Salt Lake. What about you?”

  “Didn’t find that in your research?” he sarcastically shot back.

  Selena laughed and shook her head, “Didn’t think to look it up.”

  “Well, I have a younger brother who’s in Seattle,” he said. “He’s med-tech and works in a big hospital our uncle owns. As for our parents, well you and I are kind of in the same boat. My mom lives in Boston and she runs pretty much most of our family business. My dad is in Thailand. He retired there.”

  Selena looked at him with a grin, “Now I understand where you come from.”

  Tom shrugged in reply and then pointed out ahead of them, “Those the swings you were talking about?”

  “Yup,” she answered. “I love just sitting there and thinking. They face the see-saws and slides so I get to lose myself watching kids play around.”

  They headed over and fortunately enough there were swings still available. The snow had begun to fall but it wasn’t the middle of winter yet so the ground wasn’t fully covered. There were still a few kids running about, with their parents chasing them from behind. Selena pointed to a little girl trying to maneuver a bicycle around the sidewalks and marveled at how young she was to be playing with that kind of ride.

  “She must be like four or five,” Selena said.

  “That seems right to me though,” Tom told her. “I learned how to ride a bike when I was five.”

  Selena gave a sigh then said, “I didn’t learn until I was like twelve or thirteen.”

  “I hope it won’t take you that long to trust me,” Tom said.

  “I hope so too,” she answered. “It depends on you, actually. I fall in love easily but trust doesn’t come as quickly for me. I’ve been fucked over too many times to be a fool, especially with guys like you.”

  “Guys like me?”

  Selena nodded as she began to swing a little, “Rich guys who think they own the world and can do whatever they want.”

  “What if I’m actually bankrupt and everything you saw in my home is a lie? What if all that’s due to go?”

  Selena shrugged, “If you went poor today it wouldn’t change who you were for the past few decades. We are who we are based on our experiences, memories and mistakes.”

  “That’s deep,” he commented. “But I do guess you’re right. What does all this mean for me?”

  “The short answer?” she said. “Don’t screw me over.”

  “I think we already tackled that,” he pointed out as he began to swing as well, following her pace. “I mean, for us, what’s our status now? You said it yourself: I’m not really your boyfriend yet and we’re not friends with benefits.”

  Selena gave him a solemn look and answered, “Let’s just not put a label on it and go with the flow, eh?”

  “The flow is telling me to give you a kiss,” he said. He kept his gaze solely glued to hers and Selena could feel sparks beginning to fly between them, in a good way.

  “You’re really evil, Tom Sellick,” she replied as she leaned a little to his side and planted a kiss on his lips.

  “Well, it is like you said,” Tom said, “guys like me think we can get away with whatever. We can demand anything.”

  Selena laughed a little then asked, “So what are you demanding now?”

  “You,” he quickly shot an answer back.

  “Those lines don’t work on me,” she said as she bit her lip, “but I do have to admit I kind of set myself up for that.”

  “You walked right into it,” Tom told her and got off his swing. He walked towards her and hugged her from behind. “Now I’m not going to let you walk out of it, not as easily as you’d think. I like you Selena, I honestly, deeply do.”

  She felt a warm tingle in her chest and without saying anything back she snuggled into his arms. It was cozy, comforting and for a moment she felt like everything in the world was right. She knew it was wrong to trust him, given how open he was about his past behavior around women, but Selena had this strange feeling that maybe things could go right if they both played their cards right.

  “I don’t think the parents appreciate us snuggling like this in front of their kids,” Tom whispered into her ear.

  Selena laughed and nodded. “It is getting a little too cold for comfort.”

  “Want to head back to the car?”

  “Sure,” she answered. “What do you think of this place though?”

  Tom tightened his hug a little, “I love it. Maybe because my first time here was with someone I care about. It’ll sprout good memories.”

  “You’re getting cheesy,” she told him as she sprung up to her feet and began walking back to the car. “Come on, let’s go before you start getting a boom-box radio and serenade me while fist-pumping the air.”

  “Oh, hey I know that movie,” Tom commented as he gave chase.

  Chapter Six

  “Tom,” Selena whispered as she got into the car. “I really want to thank you. I had fun today.”

  “Really? You’re still broke and jobless,” he answered right as he locked his door.

  Selena nodded and said, “Despite that, you still made an effort to make me feel good.”

  “We didn’t really do anything but talk, you know,” he reminded her. He still didn’t put in his car keys to start the car.

  “Yeah, but I don’t really need us to do anything. I love to just relax and talk,” she replied. “I hate it when people try to date at a bar or club because it’s too noisy to actually talk and get to know each other. Even going to the movies or a restaurant isn’t a good idea, in my opinion, because you’re too busy looking at a screen or a plate to really talk to one another.”

  Tom reached out and care
ssed her face and said, “You’re really deep sometimes, you know that?”

  “Maybe I’m just depressed I don’t have a job.”

  He pulled her face in and gave her a soft kiss on her lips, “Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about anything. It’ll all be all right, I promise you.”

  “Are you god now?” she whispered back and gave him a kiss as well.

  “I just know things,” he answered and this time kissed her a little deeper. He pulled her in closer and began to kiss her passionately. He began to push his tongue between her lips and with a soft moan Selena opened her mouth and they began to tie into each other.

  It was getting a little uncomfortable, however, and Tom immediately sought to fix that issue by getting out of his seat and wiggled his way to the rear seats. Selena quickly followed and sat on his lap, facing him as he hugged her in closer to continue their exchange.

  “Close the windows,” she said when she was able to catch her breath. Tom quickly followed her request and raised his tinted windows up. Once Selena was sure they had some privacy she took off her top and began to grind her body against his.

  Tom marveled at the sight of her body. She was the spitting image of seduction and he couldn’t get his eyes off of her breasts, her neck and her face. “Selena, you are absolutely gorgeous.”

  She smiled back and continued to kiss him. His lips began to roam as soon as she was closer, traversing from her lips to her neck. Once she felt his warm breath on her neck Selena began to moan out softly and her voice only seemed to turn him on even more.

  Soon his hands were all over her, caressing and squeezing every bit of flesh he could get his hands on. Selena was not one to let down, however, and she quickly undid the zipper of his pants and reached in for his throbbing, anxious member.

  The moment her hands clamped down on him Tom looked up into her eyes and once again she could see the fires of the beast coming alive. She began to stroke his cock, watching in excitement as each touch revved him up like an engine ready to explode forward.

  “Fuck me,” she cooed into his ear and the words seemed like an explosion, setting him off.

  Tom quickly grabbed her and wriggled her out of her jeans. Once she was free she positioned herself on his lap and slowly slid his manhood into her flesh, allowing it to go in gently at first as it pushed past her folds. Selena was already wet and anxious and it didn’t take much effort for Tom to find his way in. Soon enough he had her right where he wanted and he began to thrust his hips upward.

  “Shit,” Selena whispered as she felt the full force of his cock rip right into her. She felt his hands wrap around her body and begin to pump her up and down as he thrust in a steady rhythm. The whole car began to sway a little, following the beat of their bodies.

  Yet it all felt right. Selena lost herself in the moment and let go of all her inhibitions. She cherished the moment as she felt Tom’s hands grab her and claim her as his own. She reveled in the satisfaction of feeling his cock thrive inside her flesh, pumping like an animal into her with no indication of stopping. Their bodies had melded into one and her mind was spinning in a thousand different directions.

  When she came, it took Tom only a matter of seconds to follow. This time, he did not pull out and she felt his warm seed fill her up from the inside. It was an explosion of ecstasy that blew her mind out of her skull and back.

  Out of breath, she leaned in forward and rested her head on his shoulder, with his cock still inside her.

  “Tom,” she whispered.

  “Yes?” he responded as he hugged her and combed her hair with his hand.

  “Thank you.”

  “Not ‘I love you?’”

  Selena grinned, “We’ll get to that in due time. Maybe.”

  “You’re tempted to say it though,” he told her with a chuckle.

  “I was tempted to say it, Tom Sellick,” she admitted, “but not today.”

  Tom kept her in his arms and he let them rest, seated in the back of his car, as the sun went down and the snow began to fall a little thicker than before. He loved the image, picturing himself keeping her in this strange little paradise, and didn’t want to let go so soon.

  “Will I see you again?” he had to ask.

  “I don’t know, will you see me again?” Selena replied and he knew what she meant.

  “Tomorrow?”

  “I need to apply somewhere else tomorrow,” she told him. “So if you can help me get around town, sure, why not tomorrow. Well, unless you’re busy and all.”

  Tom lifted her chin up with his finger and gave her a kiss on the forehead, “Not busy at all. I think this is the start of something really special.”

  “Or it could be the beginning of our descent into madness,” she stated.

  “Only one way to find out.”

  “Only one way to find out,” she said as she closed her eyes and hoped that she made the right choice. For better or worse, she had tied herself to the life of Tom Sellick and only time will tell what would become of her decision. So far, however, she was in euphoria and if it all ended in madness she could still say she had this one good day.

  THE END

  Tainted Billionaire

  Chapter One

  Nicole looked at her friend, Melanie. The latter was across the table, sitting on a guy’s lap, holding a bottle of beer. The man’s hand was crawling all over her, groping Melanie’s breasts and thigh. Melanie didn’t seem to mind. She loved the extra attention he was giving her.

  “Hey, feeling a little lonely?” a voice asked from behind.

  Nicole turned and saw a man standing by her side, offering her a bottle. Smiling, Nicole took the offer and scooted over to the side. He quickly sat down beside her.

  “New guy, meet Melanie and Danny,” Nicole introduced as she pointed to her friend and the man she was flirting with. “Melanie, Danny, the new guy.”

  “I’m Michael,” the new guy introduced himself. He gave a simple nod off to Danny and Melanie before he turned his attention to Nicole. “Thanks, by the way. I was hoping we could sit down, drink and talk for a little while.”

  Nicole smiled back at him and then said, “Well, I was starting to feel out of place here. She’s got his hands all over her. I got nothing.”

  “Makes me wonder,” Michael told her. “You’re one hot little chick so I’m kind of surprised no one else approached.”

  “You think I’m hot?”

  He raised a finger and toyed with her orange-red hair, “Of course you are. I mean, look at you. You got gorgeous green eyes, fiery hair, your skin is like milk and you got the body of a bombshell. You’re like a walking sex goddess.”

  “Woah, slow down,” Nicole said with a chuckle. “I get it, I make you horny. Petite girls do that. Don’t worry, I ain’t offended. At least someone thinks I’m gorgeous.”

  Michael laughed and took a big gulp from his own drink before he said, “Does that justify the boner I have in my pants right now?”

  “A big guy like you? Aren’t you hard like all the time, even when looking at a wall?”

  Michael laughed again, “That’s a tough thing to say to a guy. I’m not a pervert or anything like that.”

  “But you still go to bars hoping to find a drunk, easy woman to fuck?” Nicole followed up with another question. She wasn’t going to let him into her pants that easily, even when she felt warm and in need of a man’s touch.

  “Maybe,” Michael answered, “or maybe I was just hoping to find someone just as lonely as I am.”

  She looked at him as he said this and for the first time in the few minutes he had been there she finally got a better look at him. Michael was tall, almost six-feet-four, and had a beautiful light tan to his skin. He had dark brown hair and blue eyes and a neatly kept five o’clock beard trimming his chin. He was honestly quite handsome.

  “Melanie already looks quite busy,” Nicole whispered into Michael’s ear. “How ‘bout you and I sneak
off and give them some space?”

  He put his bottle down, took Nicole’s hand and then led her away from the table. Nicole turned back one time to check on her friend. She saw Melanie waving good-bye while kissing Danny.

  He led her to his car, parked right outside the club. Inside, the loud music and stench of alcohol and cigarettes died away. They stepped into the passenger seats and quickly she leaned in close to him, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped her with his arms.

  Oddly enough, it felt comfortable.

  “Thank you,” Nicole told him. “To be honest, this is my last night free.”

  “What do you mean?” he asked.

  “Work,” she replied. “I’m down to my last credit card. I need to start job hunting again in the morning. I figured me and Melanie could waste our last extra cash on a dance and some drinks.”

  Michael began to caress her head and hair with his hand, “I guess I’m lucky then. I got into the right place at the right time.”

  “You definitely gave me the drink,” Nicole whispered. “Let’s get onto the dance part.”

  Michael watched as Nicole sat up and moved up to sit on his lap. In the dark he could barely see her but he did see the outline of her body as she began to remove her clothes. The mere sight of her skin made his heart beat a little faster and when he laid sight on her breasts, even in the dark, he felt his blood rushing in anticipation.

  Hungrily, he grabbed her in an embrace and pulled her close. Without thinking he began to nibble and kiss her neck, going up to her ear and to her lips, as she grinded her body against his. He didn’t even notice she had slid her mini-skirt off and was rubbing her bare pussy against his crotch.

  She wanted his warmth. She loved every moment she felt his hands on her body. When he undid his zipper and she caught hold of his manhood she felt nothing but ecstasy and excitement flooding her senses.

  The warm of his lips and his tongue on her flesh made her squirm and moan. Perhaps someone saw them outside. Perhaps no one did. She didn’t care at this point. In the morning, he’d leave her and life would be the same as if nothing happened. All she cared about at this point was the pleasure of his body against hers.
