I can feel his breath wash over the edge of my ear and down my neck, it causes a shiver to run down my spine. How I wish he would come just a little closer and land his lips on my skin. I let out a soft sigh before I can stop myself. I open my eyes, I didn’t even realise I’d closed them, and turn to look at him. He's moved away from me and in to the kitchen. He’s too far away.
I get up and walk in to kitchen, put my hand on his shoulder and grin as he jumps, from surprise or my touch, I don’t care.
“What are you up to Robson?” I ask.
“Ummmmm getting myself something to eat?”
“No, you're not. Go sit down and I’ll make you something. That’s what I'm here for afterall.” He gives in and sits down at the table. His lack of resistance is more worrisome than the injury from earlier in the day.
Chapter Twenty-Three
DAN
I know I'm freaking Mia out by going along with every one of her requests but I just don’t feel light fighting with her. To be honest, I'm enjoying having her around again. I've really missed just being around her, talking to her and sharing space with her. When I woke up and she was here, it just felt right. I’m watching her move around my kitchen like it’s her own and to be honest, it almost is. We’ve spent many hours in it together cooking food, even before we decided to have sex. When we were ‘just friends’ but the more I think about it, the more I realise we were never ‘just friends’. It was always leading to something. We just never realised it until a few months ago.
Alex made a big deal of my past a few weeks ago but what he doesn’t realise, what none of them realise, except Ally because I think she suspects, is that I haven’t been with anyone but Mia for well over six months. Maybe even close to a year. I've spent all of my spare time with Mia, at home (hers or mine), in the workshop, wandering shops for things for each other’s homes, looking for materials for her shelves, getting each other’s opinions on, well on just about everything. Alex was spot on that I've had my fair share of random women but he was standing there, right beside me with their friends and enjoying all the same spoils.
Mia and I have always spent time together without Alex, even when we were growing up, just kids really. When it suddenly hit me that Mia wasn’t my sister and that I’d fallen for her, I tried, I really did, to pull back. I tried to see less of her but it just didn’t work. Then that day happened and we kissed. I knew, fuck me, I knew what would happen and where it would lead and I still did it. I still kissed her and then dragged her to my bed and when she wouldn’t tell Alex, I tried to understand why but I couldn’t. If I’m honest with myself, Alex and Ally showing up that night at the restaurant was the perfect excuse for me to pull away completely and ease my mind doing it.
I didn’t want to let her go and that’s why I convinced myself that I needed to. Yet, here she is. In my house, looking after me when I've hurt myself. My decision now is whether to accept her being here for a couple of days and soaking it up or just cut the string now and send her home. I can't have her here, get used it and then have her leave again. I’ve already broken what’s left of my heart by walking away from her and her brother.
“Dan. Helloooooo Dan, anybody home? What kind of drugs did nurse feely give you anyway? You’ve completely zoned out on me, Dan. Helloooooo!!” Mia’s standing in front of me, waving her hand in front of my face. I clench my hands in to fists because if I don’t, I'm going to grab her hips and drag her in to me for a kiss, one the likes of which she’ll never forget!
“Did you just call nurse Kat, nurse feely?”
“Yes Dan I did because if she’d been given half a chance, that’s exactly what she’d have been doing!” I can't help it, I laugh.
“Mia, nurse Kat didn’t give me any drugs, not even a Panadol babe. Dr Smugarse however, was trying to knock me out, so that he could get to you.”
“No Dan, he wasn’t and even if he’d tried he wouldn’t have gotten very far.” She’s looking at me, staring in to my eyes and I have to look away. “Now I made you another toasted cheese sandwich this time don’t fall asleep before you eat it!”
I look at the plate on the table in front of me and never has a sandwich looked so good to me! I'm trying to remember the last time I ate, but I don’t think I even ordered dinner last night. I look up to those eyes that change colour with her mood and say, “Thank you Mia. Not just for the food but for everything you did for me today. I appreciate it, especially when I know how difficult I've made it for you to like me the last couple of weeks.”
“You're welcome Dan. The last couple of weeks don’t change years of history between us. I still don’t want anything to happen to you, well not unless I cause it anyway!” She throws me a cheeky grin and walks back in to the kitchen to clean up. I could tell her to leave it but as she wipes down the bench and I pick up a piece of my sandwich, I enjoy the wiggle of her arse. I can't help but wonder if she's tempting me on purpose but then I realise, she doesn’t really have to put any effort in to teasing, tempting or drawing me to her. My eyes and body just follow her, I'm drawn to her.
I really have to get away from here if I have any chance whatsoever of getting over her.
MIA
I don’t know what to do with this Dan. He's so … easy! He's said yes to everything! Me coming to stay for a couple of days to help, not getting himself food, sitting down when I tell him to and he was just off on another planet. I don’t know what he was thinking about but that wrinkle between his eyes, at the top of his nose, was the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Whatever he was thinking about, he was really concentrating. I'm sure he’d just love being told he's adorable too, maybe I should tell him just to get some sort of snarky comment out of him. This quiet and malleable version of him is a little bit worrying.
I clean down the bench of the few crumbs I left behind, when I look up I can see Dan watching my arse in the reflection of the splash back, so I put a bit more effort in to the cleaning an already very clean bench and hope he's enjoying the view and not just staring off in to space again.
I turn and throw the cloth in the sink, “Dan is there anything in the workshop you need me to fix up?” I barely finish when he replies.
“No.” he says rather harshly. “No, Mia, everything can stay how it is for today. Thank you for asking though.” His voice has softened by the time he's finished speaking.
“Sorry Dan, I know you don’t like people going in there without you and definitely not touching your stuff. I'm sure it can wait a couple of days until you're healed.” I say with a smile and grab his now empty plate. “Looks like that sandwich hit the spot? Now go back to the couch and relax for a while. I've got a little bit of work to do then we’ll think about dinner and maybe a shower.”
“Thanks for the sandwich Mia, it did hit the spot. I've got a few things I need to do but I won't stop you from your work.”
“Did you need me to call your client and let them know that the project is going to run a few days over the deadline?” He gives me a look I can't decipher but I don’t back down. He's supposed to be relaxing and yet he's planning on working.
“No Mia, I don’t need you to call a client for me, I can do it, I have another hand you know.”
“Yes, I understand that but you're supposed to be relaxing, atleast for today. Please let me help you.”
“What I was working on wasn’t for a client, it’s for ….” He hesitates for a few seconds and I wonder who he's building that beautiful chest for. “It’s a project for me. I was making it as a gift but I don’t think they’ll accept it now or even if I want to give it. So no, I don’t need to you to call a client but thank you.” He takes a deep breath and continues, “I'm just going to go in to the workshop and draw up a few things. Before you say anything, I promise not to work with anything except a pencil ok? No machinery or tools.”
I can't tell him no he can't work, so instead I nod and sit back down at my laptop. He's not a child and as much as tying him up sounds realllly good to me, I
won't do it to him. Not without his consent anyway. He walks away and I’m left with a huge grin on my face, not seeing a god damn thing on the screen, only Dan. Naked. Tied to his bed. At. My. Mercy. Shit now I'm wet and there's no relief in sight. Maybe I can sneak away and …. No, I can't. Can I?
Well ok, I know I can but I shouldn’t. I shake my head and continue reading the latest manuscript that Tonya sent. Shit! Bad idea! I've gotten to a point where they have sex and fuck me if the leads don’t turn in to Dan and myself going at it instead!
I get up and go to the door, check that Dan is still in his workshop and then I walk so fast it could almost be considered a jog, to the spare room downstairs that I chucked my bag in to. I know I want Dan back but it would have been a little too presumptuous even for me to have chucked my bag in his room! I close the door quietly, why I don’t know but I feel like I'm sneaking around and well that means being quiet.
I've been in work clothes all day and I tell myself it’s time to get in to something more comfortable. That’s my excuse for stripping down to my underwear and I'm sticking to it. My reason for stretching out on the bed and feeling myself up? Well, you know whoever needs a reason for that? Without further thought, I put myself back in to that story I was just reading and squeeze my nipple through the lace of my bra. My other hand makes it way down my stomach and under the lace of my knickers.
My finger touches my clit and my hips jump off the bed! Being so close to Dan and then reading that chapter, shit I’m so ready for him, it’s bordering on ridiculous!
My finger slides down and I push in to my wet and waiting pussy. With my thumb pressing on my clit, my middle finger sliding in and out of my pussy, I pull my boob out of my bra and massage it. I pinch and roll my nipple between my fingers and I add another finger to the one already pumping in and out of my pussy. I'm so wet they’re moving easily and my thumb slides over my clit. I can feel everything inside me building fast and I'm concentrating on nothing except the release that I know I need and I can feel building right up until ….
Knock Knock, “Hey Mia are you in here ……………. Ohhh fuck me!” Well that’s exactly what I'm imagining is happening and even with Dan’s abrupt entrance, I can't stop the freight train that is an orgasm! If I stop now, my body will kill me!
Should have locked the fucking door!
DAN
Well holy fucking shit! It’s not what I expected to find Mia doing but hell I'm not gonna complain! She's as hot as fuck! Lying on my guest bed, two fingers in her pussy and the other hand gripping her nipple. I know I should leave but I can't move my feet! FUCK ME!
“Don’t let me stop you Mia.” I can see just how close she is to coming! I remember that look and I can smell her arousal from here. Her fingers are still moving and she's moaning softly, I'm guessing she's trying to keep quiet for my benefit. It’s not even close to working, my jeans are trapping my now very hard cock and I have to shift to make myself some room. I can feel the pre-cum starting to drip out the head of my cock and make a damp patch on the front of my jeans. I can feel it there and Mia’s eyes are staring at the front of my jeans, making me harder if that’s possible and I say; “Ohhh fuck sweetcheeks. Please don’t stop.”
“Dan.” She says my name on a breath and I can't cope. I take a step closer to the bed but stop myself there, if I get any closer I won't be able to hold back and she hasn’t invited me to join in. “Dan. Ohh fuck Dan I'm so close, I need you….”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea …”
“It is Dan! I need you to pull out your gorgeous cock and stroke him for me. Please Dan, I won't stop but I need you to do this. For me, please?”
When she asks so nicely how can I refuse? Her hands are still working her body and I stand there watching her. My cock is in my hand and I'm stroking it, just like she asked me to. IF this is part of her plan, one of Max’s directives, then I. AM. FUCKED! Literally and figuratively. The only way this little scene could get any better is if she was in MY bed, pleasuring herself!
Her eyes haven’t stopped watching me stroke my cock and I can feel the orgasm working itself through my body. I've come by my own hand a few times since we split up but nothing can compare to this. The only thing better would be if I was in the comfort of her warm wet pussy. I'm watching her fingers slide in and out her and I wish it was me. My fingers, my cock, my tongue…. “Argggh fuck! Sweetcheeks, are you gonna come soon?”
“Yes Dan, but I need to see you come first. Please Dan.” I close my eyes and make a mess in my hand! This woman fucking destroys me! I open my eyes because it registers that Mia is moaning my name and I watch, as she comes all over her hand! She brings both hands to her chest and massages those beautiful mounds as I watch her come down from her orgasm.
“Fuck Mia! That was the hottest thing I have ever seen!” She looks at me, her face is flushed and her nipples are still erect and rosy. She gets up from the bed, strolls over to where I'm standing, she stops when she's close but not touching me. She brings a hand up and places it behind my neck, pulls me down and gives me the hottest kiss of my life, then she places some tissues that I hadn’t noticed before, in my come filled hand.
“Next time you should wait for permission to enter a room Dan, you never know what you might walk in on!”
I haven’t moved! I'm planted in the same spot I stopped when I found her pleasuring herself and I watch as she turns around and heads for the bathroom. I don’t know whether to follow her or run, as fast as I can and as far as I can away from the house!
She closes the bathroom door and I realise I'm standing there in the middle of the room, cock hanging out of my jeans, tongue hanging out of my mouth, a fistful of tissues and my own come! I shake my head and walk to the other bathroom to clean up, it’s difficult when you only have one hand!
I AM IN SO MUCH TROUBLE! So totally fucked I can't breathe!
As I catch my breath and try to make sense of my thoughts, there's a knock at the front door.
Chapter Twenty-Four
MIA
I have a quick shower to clean myself up. I can't believe I just did that! It wasn’t planned, all I wanted was to get this lust under control before I saw Dan again and actually jumped his bones. That book and him combined, lethal!
I didn’t plan it but I can't say I'm too sorry that I forgot to lock the door. Just to know and see he was just as affected as I am, means that my efforts aren’t going to be wasted. Then again, the attraction and great sex, they never were an issue between us.
As I walk out of the bedroom, showered and dressed in my comfy jeans and a t-shirt, I hear a knock on the door. I wonder where Dan is, as I open the front door to find a woman I've never seen before, standing there.
“Good Afternoon, can I help you?” I say in the calmest voice I can muster. Before the woman can speak, Dan walks up behind me and greets her.
“Good afternoon Raina, how are you? I didn’t realise we had an appointment today, or did I forget about it?”
After ‘Raina’ has finished looking me up and down, she focuses her attention and smile on Dan. “No Dan, you sweet thing, you didn’t forget a meeting, I wanted to talk to you about a new project for me.” She goes to walk in to the house but she can't get passed me just yet!
“You should have called me Raina, you know my rules!”
She giggles, this woman is old enough to be his mother and she giggles! Holy shit, is this how he gets his business? I don’t think I can stand here and watch this happen! I turn to walk away but Dan stops me with his hand on my stomach.
“You know I don’t talk to clients in my home Raina. If you head over to the workshop, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” He speaks to her in a firm voice but he has a very charming smile on his face and that would soften the blow. “Next time, call before you come over to make sure I'm around.”
“Well I heard you weren’t working with your business partner anymore, so I thought I’d drop in on the off chance you were here and look, just my luck y
ou are.”
Dan hasn’t taken his hand from my stomach, so I can't move away without making a scene. This woman is flirting with Dan and I'm standing right here! She doesn’t know who I am, for all she knows I could be his girlfriend.
“Yes, just your luck. Let me talk to Mia for a few minutes, then I’ll be right there ok? Don’t touch anything though I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself!”
He gives her another one of his charmingly gorgeous smiles and closes the door as she starts to walk away. I’d almost call that a sashay, except why!?
“Remove your hand now please Dan, I need to get back to work please.”
“You didn’t seem to mind where my hand was while Raina was at the door.” Shit! I didn’t realise he was standing that close to me and his voice sends a shiver down my neck!
“Yes, well I didn’t want to cause a scene in front of your client, so I stayed but I'm sure you can both do without my presence for your meeting.” I take a step to move away from him because after what he just witnessed in my bedroom, I'm still on fire! I know I'm supposed to be ‘winning’ him back and Max would be pissed off at me for not using the whole situation to my advantage but I just can't. Just the thought of him with another woman, any woman not just Raina, has me feeling all kinds of possessive.
“That’s all she is Mia. A client. I'm polite to my clients, it’s how I get repeat business and how I get new clients because the current ones recommend me to their friends.”
“Sure Dan and letting them flirt with you is just a bonus hey? A nice little boost to their ego, or is it a boost to yours?”
“No Mia, it keeps them coming back because I'm nice to them. It’s called customer service sweetcheeks, not flirting. I'm not giving her false hope, I'm being friendly and if she reads it some other way, it’s not my fault. I do NOT flirt with clients, fucking hell Mia!”
“Well your client was flirting with you and I was standing right there! She doesn’t know who the hell I am! I could have been your wife for all she knew and you didn’t shut her down either, so in my book that makes you just as bad!” I make to walk around him but he grabs me around the waist and pulls me in to his body.
