Just Another Wedding

Four orgasms. Three used condoms. And one long nap. Though now that he’d opened his eyes, Bill couldn’t get back to sleep. At this time back in Hanton, he would be out jogging the streets with his cop buddies. Now, even with the sexy, naked woman beside him, his mind focused on the need to feed his rumbling stomach.
Slipping from the arms of his most adventurous lover, he left the bed and collected his clothes off the floor. He ducked into the bathroom to relieve himself then dressed in his suit from the night before, tucking the tie into his pocket.
With one last glance at the beautiful woman who’d invited him into her bed, he left the room, hoping the hotel had a continental breakfast.

Pepper rolled over, stretching her muscles, tired from a night of the most amazing sex ever. Bill. Oh shit! She turned to the other side of the bed, but found it empty. He’d already left. A glance around the room confirmed it, his clothes gone, too.
Disappointment clutched her gut. She’d known all along their time together would end like this. Though she couldn’t deny the hope for something more. One-night stands and casual dating were no longer enough. With no husband, or even a serious boyfriend, each passing day filled her heart with more loneliness. Her parents, after thirty years of marriage, were still unbelievably blissful, as were her recently married friends. Would she ever find the same happiness?
She slid off the bed, swallowing her pride. It’s my own fault. I need to start looking for the right guy. Not the right now guy.
With a heavy sigh, she plodded to the bathroom. Why can’t I have both in the same person? Because keepers don’t sleep with someone they’d just met. She knew that, and yet she’d still invited Bill up. Maybe at another time and place, the night may have gone differently. If he hadn’t been fresh out of a divorce.
A knock sounded at her door. Shit. Housekeeping already? She hadn’t meant to sleep so late. But after an all night session with Bill, she’d forgotten to set her alarm. The shower would have to wait until she arrived home.
She grabbed a robe and wrapped it around herself. Hopefully, she’d at least be able to change before they kicked her out.
Opening the door, she held her breath, prepared to argue for that one concession.
“Good morning, sleepy head.” Bill waltzed into the room, his arms filled with food. “I didn’t know what you wanted for breakfast, so I brought a variety of things.”
Tears pooled in the corners of her eyes. Her heart swelled. “You...you came back?”
He furrowed his brows. “Of course I did. I just needed something to eat, especially if we go another round or two. I know you said you were buying, but I thought it might be more intimate up here.”
She chuckled, wiping her tears. “I don’t think we’ll have time. I have to check out soon.”
“Oh.” He frowned. “Well, maybe you’d like to come back to my place? Hanton is only a half hour away. That is, if you don’t already have plans.”
She shook her head. “No. No plans. I just didn’t think this would go beyond the hotel. I thought once you’d left, I’d never see you again.”
After setting the food on the wooden desk, he turned and faced her, looking as vulnerable as he had last night when he realized his mistake. “I’m sorry. I thought... never mind.” He headed for the door. “Goodbye, Pepper. Thanks for last night.”
“No!” She rushed to him, grabbing his arm. “I do want more. It’s just that when I woke and you weren’t here....”
Pulling her against him, he held her tight, pressing his lips to hers. She moaned at the sweet invasion, and the taste of a chocolate chip muffin. Gripping his ass, she felt the swell of his cock against her stomach. Ready to go all over again.
But he pulled away, leaving her breathless.
“You’d better get dressed and eat before it’s too late. I’ll pay for the extra night if you don’t check out in time. Though I’m really anxious to get you into my bed.”
Sweet and sexy, and God, she wanted him. She expected last night to be just another wedding. Yet, with Bill, it turned out to be so much more. Perhaps she’d finally found her keeper? Only time would tell.
