Mary Beth just looked at her. Sam also had a look of surprise on his face. “Whatever, like you matter. Sammy,” she said to him as she moved to the side of Tessa and started walking her fingers up his chest then wrapping her arms around his neck again, “why don’t we get out of her and go back to my place, or we could go back to yours. Are your sexy brothers home? The four of us could have one hell of a party, what do you say?”
This time Sam didn’t get the chance to pull Mary Beth’s arms off Sam because Tessa pushed her way in between them and shoved her back. “Keep your nasty, skanky hands off my man!” Tessa told her.
“Your man, since when? If I remember right, Sammy and I were just together a week or so ago and you were nowhere around.”
“Mary Beth, it was more like three months ago, and I’m with Tessa now, only Tessa,” Sam told her as he put his arms around Tessa, pulling her close.
“Like that’s going to last. She may look different from high school, but she’s not woman enough for you.” Then she looked at Tessa. “He’ll be back in my bed before the end of the week, maybe the end of the night,” she said, trying to belittle Tessa as much as possible. “I guess I could always just keep Rance and Mitch busy until you come to your senses.”
Tessa was ready to pull each and every fake blonde strand of hair from her head, but she also wasn’t one to cause a scene. Thank goodness Sam spoke up to put an end to the situation. Tessa realized that they were drawing a crowd and everyone was watching to see what was going to happen next. “Mary Beth, I’m with Tessa, that’s not going to change tomorrow, next week, or fifty years from now if I have anything to say about it,” he told her as he looked into Tessa’s eyes with such love she felt her breath catch in her chest. “And before you think about it, Mitch and Rance belong to her also. We’re all off the market so you need to just run along and find someone else to play with.”
“You have got to be kidding me, her? Of all the women you guys could have, you want her? That is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.”
“No, what’s funny is standing here watching you throw yourself at someone who doesn’t want you. You are just as pathetic and desperate as you were in high school. Stay away from my men.” Tessa had never been in a cat fight, but she could feel her claws extending.
“This conversation is over. Come on, sugar, I think our food is ready.” Sam took Tessa’s hand and went to the hostess stand to pick up their food.
As he was paying, Tessa heard her name and turned around. “Tessa Walker, is that really you?”
Perry Clemons had been Tessa’s science partner junior and senior year of high school. They had worked well together. Perry was smart and a lot like Tessa. He wasn’t popular. He was too skinny and wore black-rimmed glasses that he hid behind and he had a pimply face. The Perry standing in front of her was no longer the skinny, insecure boy she remembered though. It was like Clark Kent and Superman. Perry was taller than she remembered with well-defined muscles, butt-hugging jeans, and hair that just barely touched his shoulders. He no longer wore glasses and his smile was bright as he pulled Tessa into a hug.
“Wow, have we both changed or what? You look great, Perry.”
“So do you, Tessa. I’m sorry to hear about your dad, how is he doing?”
“He’s doing good, making progress every day. We are hoping he will be home soon.”
“I was wondering if you were going to come home. So you live in Seattle now from what I hear?”
“Yeah, I decided to stay in Seattle after I finished college. You still live here, huh?”
“I moved back after college and went to work for my dad at his accounting firm. You know I always loved numbers. God, it’s good to see you. You look amazing. Do you think we could get together for dinner sometime next week to catch up?”
That’s when Sam cut in. With their bag of food in one hand he placed his other arm around Tessa and pulled her close. “Hi, Perry, unfortunately Tessa’s evenings are pretty much filled right now, but we’ll let you know when we’re available for dinner.”
“I don’t remember asking you to dinner, Sam,” Perry told him as he glared.
“Yeah, well since Tessa is my girl, where she goes, so do I.”
Tessa looked between the two men thinking this stop to get dinner couldn’t get any crazier.
“Your girl? She looks all woman to me,” Perry stated as he looked straight into Tessa’s eyes. “And since when is one woman enough for you? You’ve never committed to anyone.”
“Didn’t realize you followed my social life so closely, Perry. What I do or don’t do is none of your business.”
“That was true until you talked Jessica into your bed. You knew we were dating but you did it anyhow.”
“Perry, I’m sorry about that. First of all, I didn’t pick her up, she came on to me, and that was over a year ago. I didn’t know you two were involved or I wouldn’t have had anything to do with her. Whatever else you might think about me, I don’t poach on another man’s woman.”
Sam looked at Tessa then said, “Come on, sugar, the food’s getting cold. I’m ready to go home.”
Tessa looked at Perry. “It was good to see you,” she told him as Sam took her hand and they left.
On the way back to Tessa’s, the silence in the truck was almost unbearable. Everything that had happened at the restaurant made Tessa realize she had missed a lot of what had been going on here while she had been gone. She really didn’t know Sam or the man he was now. Didn’t know about the kind of women he had dated or if he was serious with any of them. She was more nervous now than she was before.
Sam finally broke the silence. “Tessa, I’m sorry about Mary Beth and Perry. I haven’t lived as a monk all these years and I’ve made some bad decisions I’m not proud of. I sure don’t want my past to affect our future.”
Tessa let out a sigh and said, “What’s past is past. I for one would like to keep it there.”
Sam gave her a smile and put his hand on her thigh.
Tessa didn’t need to hear about Sam’s past. All that mattered was the here and now. All that mattered was getting to know him. She was glad when they had finally pulled into her driveway.
Tessa went to change her clothes as Sam plated up their meal. Tessa wasn’t sure what to wear. She looked at herself in the mirror, grateful once again she splurged on sexy underwear. The baby-blue bra and matching thong looked good on her. The sheer material made her feel sexy and her nipples hardened thinking about Sam seeing her like this. She decided to just dress comfortable, pulling on a pair of lounge pants and a tank top. When she walked into the kitchen, Sam had the table set and the last plate was just coming out of the microwave.
“I had to heat up the food. It wasn’t hot enough.”
“It smells wonderful. I can’t believe how hungry I am.”
As they ate dinner they chatted about their day, avoiding the situation that had occurred at the restaurant. After they finished, Sam helped her clean up the kitchen and put away the leftovers.
Sam couldn’t believe how nervous he was. He was never nervous around women but something about Tessa made this time with her so important he was worried he would mess up. “Want to watch a movie?” Tessa asked, pulling him out of his nervous thoughts.
“That’s sound great. What you wanna watch?”
Sam followed her to the living room and they looked through the DVDs on the shelf. They both reached for Transformers at the same time.
Tessa laughed. “I’ll put it on.”
Sam went and sat on the couch, pulling his boots off, and smiled as Tessa sat down next to him, but not too close. This felt like he was in high school all over again. The movie started and Sam couldn’t take her being so far away so he pulled Tessa closer to him.
Tessa had trouble watching the movie, feeling Sam’s fingers as they traced circles on her shoulder. Then he started kissing her neck, moving along her jaw line to claim her lips. God, the man could kiss. Tessa melted into him,
wrapping her arms around him as he pulled her onto his lap. This was what Tessa had dreamed about, being in Sam’s arms, making out on her parents’ couch.
Sam slid Tessa underneath him as he stretched out above her, licking and nipping at her lips, kissing her deep and owning her mouth. “Damn, Tessa, I’ve wanted this for so long, sugar, I can’t believe I’m really here with you. I will never get enough of you.” He plundered her mouth with his tongue.
Tessa moaned as every nerve ending in her body came to life with the tender stroke of his tongue against hers. Her pussy quivered, remembering the way his tongue felt on her clit. She ran her hands over his back, feeling the muscles there from working hard on the ranch, finally sliding her hands down to cup his ass. Damn, the muscles there were so hard, she wanted to run her lips over the cheeks and take a bite.
Sam ran his hand under her shirt, releasing her bra. God, he loved front closures. He pulled the cups aside and filled his hand with her beautiful, full breast, pinching her nipple and making it even harder than it already was. Sam pulled her shirt up and over her head, tossing it to the floor. “Jesus, you’re incredible,” he told her as he lowered his mouth and took her nipple into his mouth.
Tessa arched her back, pushing against him, wanting to get closer. This was like a dream, a dream she never wanted to wake up from. Sam’s mouth felt incredible as he sucked one pebbled nipple, and then the other into his mouth, biting lightly on the tips and sucking hard. Tessa could feel her clit throb and cream flow freely from her cunt to coat her panties. She was wet and needed his touch.
Sam continued his ministrations on her breasts as he ran his hand down her stomach and under the waistband of her pants. He cupped her mound and Tessa moaned into his mouth. Sam moved his hand under her panties and parted her labia, softly stroking her clit. “Damn, Tess, you are so fucking wet. I need to taste you, baby.” Sam rose above her and slowly pulled her pants and panties down her legs, tossing them to the floor. Her bare pussy was shiny with her juice and his mouth watered to lap up every drop of her honey. Sam spread her legs wider as he lowered his mouth to her and licked the entire length of her slit.
“Oh, Sam!” Tessa cried out as Sam kissed, sucked, and licked every inch of her pussy, making sure she knew how much he enjoyed what he was doing. When he finally pushed his tongue as deep as he could into her cunt, she cried out. He continued working her over with his wicked tongue, bringing her even closer, right on the edge of coming. He slowly sucked her clit into his mouth, grazing it with his teeth as he pushed two fingers into her, curling them just right, and rubbed, finding and massaging that spongy sweet spot inside. Tessa panted, knowing she wouldn’t last much longer when Sam flicked her clit rapidly with his tongue. Tessa screamed as the climax overtook her. Her body shook as her vaginal muscles clamped down on his fingers. She panted as she slowly came down from one of the most intense orgasms she had ever had. Her juices continued flowing with each small aftershock as Sam lapped up every last drop.
The door flew open and crashed against the wall. “Tessa, where are you? What the hell?” Brad yelled as he came flying through the front door and stopped dead in his tracks as he saw them on the couch. Sam moved to cover Tessa, grabbing the blanket from the back of the couch to cover her.
“Brad, what are you doing here?” Tessa asked as she tucked the blanket around her, feeling her cheeks heat as they turned red.
“I came by to check on you. I had just walked onto the porch when I heard you scream. You scared the shit out of me.”
Sam wiped his mouth off with his hand, hoping Brad didn’t notice as he told him, “She’s fine. I’ll be staying with her tonight.”
“Yeah, I can see that. Tessa, we need to talk,” Brad told her.
“Um, can this wait ’til later, Brad? I’ve got company.”
“I see that, Tessa Rose. We need to talk now.”
“Fine, go in the kitchen, I need to get dressed.”
“Jesus,” Brad said as he turned and walked away.
Sam handed Tessa her shirt and pants, then kissed her after she was dressed. She could taste her juice on his lips, the tangy sweet flavor of the passion he had just brought to her. “I can taste myself on your lips.”
“Does that bother you, baby?”
“No, Brad being here, interrupting us, bothers me. I’ll be right back,” she told him as she licked his lips, seeming to emphasize her point.
Damn, she made him harder than he had ever been. Even though her brother was in the other room it wasn’t putting a damper on his arousal. She was so open, ready to learn and explore. Most girls didn’t like to kiss him after he went down on them, but not his Tessa. She undid him. She was perfect.
“What do you want that is so important, Brad, that it can’t wait until tomorrow?”
“You need to go and pack an overnight bag. You are coming home with me.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Tessa, unfortunately I saw what was going on when I walked in. I think it’s best if you just do as I say.”
“God, Brad, do you hear yourself? I’m not a little girl and it’s a good thing you didn’t walk in on me and Mitch last night. I’m sorry if my choices are bothering you, and I don’t want to hurt you or this family by them, but I’m not going to change who I am or who I’m with because you think I’m a little girl who needs rescuing. I love you, Brad, but you need to go home to your wife. Sam will be here to look after me.”
Brad hated this, hated that he had walked in on her naked on the fucking couch with Sam’s fucking head between her legs. He was never going to get that image out of his head. Why couldn’t she just do as he said? It sure as shit would make his life easier. She was a grown woman, but he was having a hard time getting that through his thick skull. “Tessa, are you sure about this?” Brad asked her as he grabbed her shoulders.
“Brad, I’ve been in love with Sam since I was a little girl. This is the first time I’ve been alone with him and you are ruining my moment. Go home. Please. I will call you tomorrow. I appreciate you checking on me, but please leave.”
Brad shook his head, knowing that he wasn’t going to win this battle. Tessa wasn’t the little girl who listened and followed orders like she did when she was younger. She was a grown woman in control of her life and her future and he didn’t like it one bit, but he had to keep repeating it in his mind before he picked her up and dragged her home.
Brad moved toward the front door. “Fine, I’ll go. But if any of them hurt you, they’ll have to answer to me.”
Sam walked up behind Tessa, pulling her into his arms. “I’d never let anything happen to her, Brad, and I’d never hurt her, neither would my brothers, you know that. She’s safe with us.”
“I’m just glad it was me that caught you and not Mom or Dad or Ally for that matter. Jesus, I’m gonna have to go have a drink. I so didn’t need to see all that. I love you, little girl.”
Tessa walked over to Brad and hugged him then kissed him on the cheek. “I love you, too, Bradley. Lanni is staying with me tomorrow night. Why don’t you let us keep Sophie for a couple hours and we can have our own little girls’ night? Then you can take your beautiful wife out to dinner, or not, and have her all to yourself. I’d keep her all night, but I’m not feeling safe enough for that yet.”
Brad smiled. “You are my favorite. I’ll talk to Annie and let you know for sure, but that sounds good to me.” Then he looked at Sam. “Lock up when I leave and put the chain on. I’m trusting you to take care of her.”
“I will, Brad. Night.”
Brad finally left. Tessa went to turn off the TV and pick up her underclothes. She looked at Sam as he leaned against the doorframe. Damn, he was the sexiest man she had ever seen, besides his brothers, but there was just something about him. She felt her mouth begin to water, wanting to taste every inch of him.
“What are you looking at me like that for?” Sam asked as he walked toward her, pulling her into his arms.
“What look is that?”
“You’re looking at me as if you could eat me alive.”
“Funny, that’s kind of what I was thinking. I want to taste every single inch of you with my tongue. I want to feel my lips on your cock, taste your cum as you shoot down my throat. I think it’s time we went upstairs.”
Sam couldn’t move. Did she really just say what he thought she said? “Tessa, baby, you’re playing with fire. You’re killing me, sugar. Just when I think I have you figured out, you shock the shit out of me. Come on, I can’t wait any longer.”
Sam took her hand, grabbing his overnight bag, and headed upstairs with a giggling Tessa right behind him. He opened her door and flipped on her light. “How did you know what room was mine?” she asked.
“Tessa, I’ve been over here many times with Mitch visiting Brad. I made sure to know which room was yours. I always fantasized about spending the night with Brad and sneaking into your room, hoping to not get caught by your parents.”
Tessa pulled her shirt over her head. “Then what did you do after you would sneak into my room, Sam?”
Sam watched her as she turned, pulling back the comforter on the bed, then slipping her pants down her legs. Moving to him, she pulled his shirt from his pants and over his head, tossing it to the floor. “I’m waiting. Tell me what you did once you slipped into my room?”
Sam couldn’t think as he felt her lips on his chest, sucking his nipple into her mouth. The little flat disc quickly came to a point. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He walked her to the bed, lying down over her.
“I would crawl under the covers with you, wrap myself around you, feeling your body and kissing you until you woke up with my name on your lips. Once you realized it was me, you let me love you all night long as I made you scream time and time again.”
“Oh, Sam.” Her eyes filled with tears, one rolling down her face, and he wiped it away with his thumb.
“Why the tears, sugar?”
