Work kept me busy for most of the week, but it was worth it. I just left her to her thoughts and finally on Friday she texted me. I wanted to ask her about Craig, but I knew better. When she just said hi, I waited for more, curious what it was that she wanted, but I knew that I wasn’t going to lead her on. I was going to let her tell me what was on her mind and then I would know better how to respond.
“Let me just call you.”
I waited for the phone to ring and my heart rate jumped a little when it did. I knew that it was her and again I didn’t like the anxiety I felt. I was not used to all of these feelings. I was used to running things. I was a man that ran most things, my business, money, women, everything, except Kendra.
“Hey Dennis.”
Her voice was soft and so sweet. I hoped that the timbre I heard in her voice was because she was in need. It was what it sounded like to me, but I could be wrong. Hell with Kendra, it seemed like I was always wrong.
“Hey Kendra. What is going on?”
“Not much. Just got off of work and I am deciding what I want to do this weekend. What are you doing?”
I had a million things to do, meetings to have and a merger in the making, but for her, I would clear it all.
“Not much of anything. Why, what’s up?”
“I was wondering if you could do me a favor Dennis. I hate to ask you, but me and Craig aren’t really getting along at the moment and I need an extra adult for some plans I was trying to make.”
It sounded promising and I liked the fact that she was arguing with Craig. It just made him further off the list as far as I was concerned.
“Sure Kendra, what do you need?” I was really hoping that she would tell me that she wanted another night like last Sunday. I was still thinking about it and just the idea of it made me a little hard. Damn I forgot how this woman affected me. It was like I could never get enough of her.
“One of the girls needs to go upstate and she wants to take a friend. To leave and go that far, I have to have another adult. This would be something that me and Craig did, but like I said before, we kind of had a falling out and he is not going to be able to make it. I would appreciate it so much if you could ride up with me.”
“I didn’t mean to start anything between you and him. I really didn’t. I was just not expecting him there is all. When I saw you with another man, it just threw me off.”
“It wasn’t like that, but what is done is done. I would really like her to go up there to see her parents. I am hoping to get her out of there, but I have to make sure that her house is ready to go back to. It’s kind of like an inspection and time for them to see if they can work past some of their problems. It is the whole point of this place and I would really like to help her. She hasn’t been home in so long.”
It was not at all what I was thinking about, but the idea of going upstate with her didn’t seem to be such a bad idea. That meant some time together, even if it wasn’t alone. I am sure I could find a way to make that happen.
“When and for how long?” I was asking just to see if I could figure out a way to get some alone time with her, but it didn’t matter what she said. I don’t care about any of that and would do anything to be with her. If that meant taking her up there with a couple of her girls from work, I was okay with that. I would have agreed to anything.
“Tomorrow we would leave and then it takes about four hours to drive up there from here. So most likely we would get a hotel for the night and then go back in the afternoon some time. I want to give her some time with her parents and then make our way back before Monday morning. I know it is a lot to ask and I am sure you have plenty of things to do, but I figured I would ask anyways. I don’t know who else to call.”
“Of course I can help you Kendra. I am here for you in all ways.”
She didn’t miss the innuendo. I could hear it in her voice. But she didn’t really respond to it either. I wanted to go to her and be inside of her, but I held off. I didn’t want to mess up the chance. Kendra was acting like a little bird and I didn’t want to scare her away.
“Well I just need help with this right now Dennis. Are you sure you don’t mind? I am sure that you have a million things to do. I can’t imagine how busy a guy like you is.”
“It’s fine, really. I am the boss so I don’t have to ask permission. I will move a few things around and I will be there in the morning to pick you up.”
She breathed out a sigh of relief. It was the least I could do when I considered the fact that it was my fault her regular partner wasn’t speaking to her. I kind of felt bad, but at the end of the day, I was far more worried about taking his place.
“Thanks Dennis, you don’t know what this means to me. I wasn’t going to call, but I didn’t know who else to call.”
“It’s fine Kendra. I am glad you thought of me. Are you sure you don’t want any company tonight? I could bring over some pasta and wine.”
I waited for her to answer, but the answer was no. I should have known, figured it was, but I held out hope. If not tonight, I was going to make it happen tomorrow night. If I had learned nothing else, face to face with my hands on her body always seemed to produce better results.
Hanging up with Kendra, I had to call Peggy at home. She wasn’t too happy about it, but didn’t reveal it too much in her voice. When she asked why I wanted to cancel everything, I told her that I was going to be helping out a friend.
“Uh huh.”
She made me question my actions, but it wasn’t going to change anything. I would have moved mountains to see Kendra again. This was no different.
“Just push everything that you can to Monday. Say that I had a family emergency or something like that.”
“But you don’t have much family Dennis and if anything happened to your father it would be on the news.”
I sighed. Peggy was right. “Well they don’t know that, but say whatever you think will work best. I trust your judgment on that.”
“Will do Sir. Anything else?”
“Can you call the pilot and see if we can get him for tomorrow morning and Sunday?”
“Of course, where to?”
“Upstate, so not too far away.”
Peggy agreed and I hung up with her. I knew that she wouldn’t like it, but she would take care of everything, she always did. I don’t know what I would have done without her half of the time and this was one of them. I made a mental note to myself to pick her up something while I was gone. A gift always seemed to unruffled feathers when needed.
I went into my room and packed an overnight bag. I didn’t need much. All I needed was Kendra. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but as long as I was with Kendra, nothing could go wrong.

I got up the next morning feeling better than I had all week. I knew that it was going to be a good day and I called Kendra to make sure she was up and around. She sounded a little sleepy, so I offered to bring her some coffee on my way over.
When I got there she was still waking up and hadn’t even made it to the shower yet. “Why don’t I help you? I can wash your back.”
Kendra laughed and shook her head, sipping the mocha I brought her. It was her favorite, something I still remembered from long ago. The smile on her face was one that I wanted to see more of.
“No, I don’t think I need that kind of help Dennis. If we get in the shower, there is no way we are going to get out of it in under an hour. You think I don’t know what you have in mind?”
“You know that it is always on my mind. It used to always be on yours as well.”
She sighed and shook her head. “I didn’t say that it wasn’t Dennis, but we have things to do today and the drive up there takes forever.”
“I figured that we could just take the plane and fly up there. We will be there in less than an hour.”
Kendra smiled in that way that I loved so much. “Really?”
“Yeah, does that work for you?” Here I was thinking that we were ta
lking about the shower and not the flight.
“That would be great Dennis. I haven’t been on a plane in a couple of years. Which airport are we going to?”
“My plane is on a private strip. No waiting, no lines, no pat-downs.”
“You have your own plane?” Kendra just shook her head in disbelief. “Of course you do. Why wouldn’t you? I have to admit that no lines does sounds really good right now.”
“How about a pat-down?”
Kendra rolled her eyes. “Down boy. We have things to do, remember?”
I did, but I didn’t want to. I thought we had time, but maybe she was right. I wanted to take my time with her. I didn’t want to be rushed.
“Okay Kendra. I will wait out here then.”
Kendra giggled. “Don’t look so sad Dennis. There will be plenty of time when we get up there.”
That made me smile as she walked into the bathroom. It was just the shred of hope that I needed to hear.
Chapter 15
Kendra
“Dennis?”
“Yeah?”
I poked my head out of the steaming bathroom. “Can you grab me a towel from that basket by my bed? I haven’t had a chance to put anything away yet.”
For a moment he looked like he wasn’t going to, but then thought against it and agreed, telling me that he would be right back.
“You are a bit of a devil Kendra and I think you know it.”
“I wouldn’t say that Dennis. I just really need a towel. I am dripping wet all over the place. You are the one being mean by making me wait.”
“And then you say things like that. We have plenty of time. Why don’t you let me come in there and dry you off?”
I sighed and looked at him through the crack in the door. He had a look of mischief in his eyes that I loved and remembered well. It hadn’t been too long ago that I would have loved to see that look on his face.
“Is that the only way that I am going to be able to get the towel?” I was making suggestions because I wanted him to come into the bathroom. I wanted to put it in his head and then I wanted to mess with it just a little bit. I wanted to test myself and see how far I could go before I couldn’t take anymore. I think that I could go further than he thought. I hoped anyways.
“What if I said yes?”
“You don’t sound so sure of yourself Dennis. Why is that?”
“Because you make me feel nervous as hell, especially knowing that you are wet and naked on the other side of the door, just feet from me. All I would have to do is move just a few steps and you could be in my arms.”
I stopped for a moment, my body trembling with his words and I was rethinking my whole plan. It wasn’t going to work if I couldn’t find a way to turn him down. I had done it before, but not when he was right here and I was, as he said, naked and wet. It seemed like a deadly combination all of a sudden, one that I wasn’t sure I wanted to deal with. Or if I would be able to.
“Well I need to get dry one way or another. So if that is the only way it is going to happen, hurry up and get in here before all of the cold air gets out.”
I swung the door wide and ignored the air conditioned air blowing in at me. My nipples got painfully hard almost immediately, but I wasn’t paying attention to that. I was paying attention to the man on the other side. His eyes were drawn to mine and turning a dark forest green in no time at all.
“Kendra.”
“I am cold, hurry up.”
I ignored the look and moved back a little bit so that he could come into the bathroom with me. He wouldn’t take his eyes off of me and he seemed to have forgotten what he was doing.
“Close the door please. It is cold. I think I mentioned that.” I was proud of myself for not sounding like I was losing my cool. I was, inside I was shaking like a leaf, but I still appeared to not be losing my shit.
“Oh sorry. You um, kind of…”
I couldn’t help the giggle that came out of me. I walked to the sink and waited for him to start. I watched him move towards me slowly, his eyes taking it all in, while I watched him. I don’t know why it was so much better than before. I don’t know why I was dying for him to touch me, literally felt like I would die if he didn’t soon.
Our eyes met in the mirror and I groaned inwardly. He was already devouring me by the way he looked and so help me I wanted him to do just that to me. I needed it.
“Are you going to start or do I need to?”
It was an innocent question that didn’t get an answer. Instead Dennis took his jacket off and moved towards me. The jacket was tossed on the bar on the shower and then he started to unbutton his shirt.
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t want to have to change and I have a feeling that I am going to get wet.”
I told him that I wouldn’t get him wet, but he still took it off anyways. I had to close my eyes to the hard lines that I could still feel pressed against my body from the other night. It was a feeling that I don’t think I was going to ever get rid of. The memories were burned into my brain and I didn’t have to see him, to see him behind me. I held my breath, sure that it would give away how wrecked he had me.
“Put your arms out Kendra, so that I can do this properly.”
Doing as he asked, I was almost immediately bombarded with his touch. The towel was warm and soft against my skin, a sharp contrast to the slickness of his hands. Every so often his hand would slip and he would rub my skin for a moment before he ‘realized’ what he was doing. Then it would be back to the warm towel and I was made to wait for it him to do it again. I did wait for it, with every breath in my being. I couldn’t help myself, no matter how hard I tried to stop the anticipation that was going to ruin it all.
“I think my tits are dry enough Dennis.”
He chuckled and I felt his hot breath on my sensitive earlobe. “I just want to make sure I am doing a good job.”
“I think you have done well.” My voice hitched as his fingers rubbed on my hardened nipples. He wasn’t even trying to pretend that it was an accident anymore. There were no more games, just his touch that drove me wild.
Another short laugh out of him before he moved down to my stomach and then the rest of my back with his hands. It wasn’t any better now that he left my tits alone and I soon realized the error of my ways. Why had I told him to move on from my nipples and breasts, when the only other places that were wet were going to be even worse on my senses? I really hadn’t thought it through. I was quickly regretting my decision whole-heartedly. Now I was wishing that I had just made him give me the towel because I was getting far too horny for my own good. I wanted him badly. I couldn’t help the need that I felt.
When he moved down to my ass, I was told to open my legs. So that he could do it proper, but I didn’t want to. I knew if I did, there were going to be slips and I don’t know if I could take much more. Dennis had a way of making me come and I had to find a way to say no. This was my idea after all.
He moved them for me, separating my legs so that they were nice and wide. His hand on the towel was lax, but for the first few swipes to dry me, it was just the towel. I wanted to feel his hands on me and his fingers. I tilted my ass up a little bit in the air so that he could see where he was needed the most.
The slickness of his fingers on my core was hard to deal with. “You are so wet here Kendra. I will have to do an extra good job. It feels so slippery.”
I bit my lip, trying to ignore what he was doing, but it was impossible to. I bent over a little, grabbing the sides of the sink. I was already giving in to his touch. He rubbed me slowly and I started to move with his hand. It didn’t take long for the build-up that I wanted to start. I pressed my lips together to stop the sound from coming out of my mouth, but I couldn’t stop the pleasure that went down my leg. I am not sure if I wanted to or not. All I knew for sure was that Dennis had won. It was impossible to tell him no. I waited for him to give me more, but to my surprise, aggravation, he then went back to the to
wel and moved lower to my legs.
“You got wetter Kendra. How am I ever going to do my job if you keep making a mess like this?”
He was trying to be funny and I was trying to catch my breath. I knew that now he was the one that was playing with me and I can’t say that I liked it all that well. My plan backfired horribly and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do now. Dennis was on his knees now, drying off the rest of my legs. He was taking his time when all I wanted him to do was touch me where I needed him most. I needed Dennis inside of me again. I was like a junkie and he was my drug.
“Please Dennis.”
“I am almost done Kendra. You don’t have to rush me.”
I growled at him and he found it funny, which made me even more aggravated. As he got to my ankles, I hoped that he would move back up, but he didn’t. Instead he was backing up and admiring his work. I was dry, but parts of me were still so wet that it didn’t quite feel that way.
“Is there anything else that you need Kendra?”
Our eyes met in the mirror and I wanted to say yes, I needed him inside of me. He had a know-it-all grin on his face that made me pause my voicing of my needs. I didn’t need him being so damn triumphant. I figured that it would do him some good to wait a little longer. I had already gotten some satisfaction and I decided that it was going to be enough. Now he could wait as well.
“No, I think that is all I needed, thank you Dennis. I am going to get dressed now.”
I walked past him, one of the hardest things I had done in a while and moved out of the bathroom. I had to walk carefully so that he wouldn’t see how he had affected me so. My legs were weak and all I could think about was more.
When I got into my bedroom, I sat down on the bed and tried to get my breath right. I was just thinking about Dennis and I almost got up to go back to him, hoping that he was still as ready as before. But then my phone rang and it was Jessica. She wanted to know when I was coming. I decided to tell her that I would be down there in half an hour, making the decision for me. If I didn’t have time to be with Dennis, it would save me from falling deeper into his web.
