He smiled at her.
“Ahora, sientate. You need to eat before you go out. You are beginning to look a little thin,” she said as he took another bite of her casserole.
“Just so you know, Yolanda, I am going to go over to her place tomorrow. Not tonight. I respect her too much to treat her like a booty call,” he said as he looked up at her, and she just nodded.
Chapter 12
Natasha was trying to wrap her mind around her newest situation, or rather figure out why after so long, Matthew had decided to call her again. She had tried being respectful over the phone, but the fact that he had chosen to stay away for so long without as much as a phone call made that quite hard for her. She had been thinking of going to the office when he called her.
“Hello?” she said when she picked up.
“Natasha.” She’d heard his familiar voice, and for a moment, she could not find the strength to move her feet. “Hi.”
She sighed softly and clenched a fist.
“Hi.”
“I was wondering if I could see you,” Matthew said, and she bit her lip. “Please,” he said again when she took too long to answer him.
“If I am going to talk to you then it has to be strictly business,” she said.
It took a long minute before she agreed, but she suddenly didn’t feel the urge to leave anymore. She just wanted to get the whole meeting with Matthew over and done with. But when he showed up at her apartment, she was sure that she had made a mistake in agreeing to see him. Because as soon as she saw him, she realized that scheduling a business meeting had just been a ruse to see her.
“So, what seems to be the problem with your web page? Any glitches?” she asked when she saw him, and he shook his head.
“Actually, this has nothing to do with the web page. I need to talk to you about us.”
She shook her head and exhaled loudly.
“There is no us, Matthew.”
“Natasha, please,” he started before she shook her head and shrugged. “Just hear me out.”
“There is nothing to be told, hence nothing to hear out,” she said. “Travis will show you out.”
He shook his head.
“Well, too bad because I am not leaving until we talk,” he said, and she sighed
“Fine.” She shut down her laptop and put it in her bag before she sat down. “Then when you are done here, you can leave, but I am not sticking around to hear whatever it is you have to say,” she said before she walked out.
The next day, it only seemed logical for her to decide on working from home rather than go to the office and risk running into Matthew again. So, after sleeping in that morning, she got up and took a shower before slipping into a comfortable maxi dress, one of the ones she had picked up in Italy. She made her way to the living room and took a seat before she reached for the phone. She called her favorite Chinese place and ordered her favorite, orange chicken and fried rice.
She sat down and got a playlist started while working on her latest project, trying to push any thoughts of Matthew Leander to the back of her mind. She was not sure how long she had been working by the time she heard her doorbell.
“It’s about darn time,” she said as she took her wallet and walked to the front door. “Normally, it only takes thirty minutes before my food gets here, but today there…” she started as she pulled a few bills out of her wallet. But her voice trailed off when she looked up and saw Matthew standing at her doorstep. “Matthew,” she said in a low voice.
“Hey,” he said as he looked at her. “I got the delivery guy just in time.”
“So, you took my food?” she asked.
“I am not leaving until we talk, Natasha. So, you either let me in or I will be forced to make a scene out here,” he said, and she took a long deep breath. She stepped aside for him to get in and he smiled at her.
“Just so you know, you have five minutes,” she said as she closed the door.
He walked towards the living room and placed the food on the coffee table before he looked around.
“I see you are back to being the workaholic,” he said, and she shrugged.
“Well, it is obvious that travelling the world was not in the cards for me,” she said. “So, I just went back to doing what I know. What I enjoy doing.”
She had her arms crossed over her chest as she looked at him.
“And if you can just say whatever it is you need to say, I would highly appreciate it so I can go back to work.”
Matthew gave her a long look up and down, lustfully.
“You look beautiful,” he said in a low voice, and she shrugged.
“Like I said, Matthew, just say what you need to and get the hell out.”
He nodded and took a long deep breath.
“Listen, Natasha,” he started. “I was wrong and I am sorry. I shouldn’t have just left on tour after all that time we spent together at the villa.”
She shrugged.
“No, you shouldn’t have.”
“I know,” he said in a soft voice. “And after everything, after being with you at the villa, I found out that you were the missing piece of my puzzle, Natasha.”
She rolled her eyes.
“Oh, sure. Why don’t you go with the most cliché reason in the book?”
She turned around and walked to the kitchen. She grabbed a half-empty bottle of wine and pulled the cork out. She was about to pour herself a glass when she turned around and found him standing behind him.
“It seems like I am going to need this a whole lot more than I thought,” she said before she took a long sip of her wine right from the bottle.
“I am getting nowhere with this, aren’t I?” Matthew asked, and she shrugged.
“It is good that you finally realized that,” she said before she walked to the front door and opened it for him to get out. He walked up to where she was and pushed the door shit.
“I am in love with you, Natasha,” he said, his hand on the door. “And I hate that it has taken so long for me to realize this.”
She wanted to say something. Anything really, but she just couldn’t find the right words. All she could do was stand there, looking into his eyes. Looking into those perfect eyes.
“There, I said it,” he said in a voice of surrender. “It has taken me a long time to realize it, but that is just the truth. I love you. And I don’t want to lose you so soon after I just found you.”
He was now slowly taking steps towards her.
“And when did you find all this out? When you had some Chinese or French bimbo under you while touring the world for your blog?” she asked, and he shook his head.
“Actually, I knew it when we were still at the villa. But it did not occur to me until much later when you were no longer around,” he said. “But if you want me to leave, I will. I’ll go right now and you won’t have to see me again if you don’t want to.”
He was about to leave when she took his hand in hers. She put the bottle she was holding down on the table next to the door.
“I think I am falling in love with you too,” she said in a whisper.
He took a step forward and gently held the back of her neck. He pulled her close and gently lowered his head before brushing her lips with his. She leaned in as he pressed his forehead against hers. She took a long deep breath and sighed as she closed her eyes.
“I am scared, Matthew,” she said in a soft voice. “This…this is new to me…well, practically new to me and I…” Her voice trailed off and she exhaled deeply. “I’m scared.”
“There is nothing to be afraid of, Tasha,” he said as he looked at her. “I am not going anywhere.”
He pulled away and gently touched her chin. He raised it slowly and kissed her softly. This kiss was deeper than the earlier one. More sensual. More passionate.
“I’ve missed that,” she said in a whisper as he gently backed her up against the wall.
“Not as much as I have,” he said before he interlaced her fingers with hi
s and pinned them on the wall behind her above her head. She was breathing hard as she looked at him. “And I am about to show you just how much.”
He kissed her again before he took her hand and led her back into the living room. He was holding her waist ever so possessively as he gently tugged on the straps at the back of her neck that held her dress up. She gasped silently when the dress gathered around her ankles and he looked at her almost naked body.
“No bra,” he rasped in an aroused whisper. “Were you expecting me, Natasha Bailey?”
She barely had enough time to answer him when he suddenly pulled her close and claimed her lips in one long sensual kiss. He was running his tongue against her own, exploring her mouth with his tongue. By the time he was pulling away she was breathing hard and heavy. But he just held the back of her neck again and kissed her. Hungrily. Savagely. Proving his intent to her as he caressed her.
He pulled back and gently ran her hand down her torso gently brushing against her already hard nipples. He was still looking into her eyes when his hand found its way down to her crotch which was already moist. She let out a whimper when she felt his finger gently brushing against her already hard clit. She moaned softly as he began working his finger on her, and she could already feel her legs getting weak under her.
He gently pushed her down on the couch and undid his pants before he got on top of her.
“I have missed you so much,” he said in a soft voice. “So, so much.”
She spread her legs and let him settle in between her legs and gasped when he pulled her panties to the side exposing her wet pussy to him. He gently lowered himself into her, and she gasped out loudly as she felt him filling her up. She closed her eyes as he kissed her lips softly. She was savoring how full of cock she was, the delicate feeling of his ownership of her body. She instinctively tilted her pelvis up to meet his downward strokes. Her moans were slowly growing louder and louder, and before she knew it, she was groaning loudly as he claimed her with every deep perfect stroke. Her hand found its way to his perfectly thick mane and held on to the thick lock of hair as he moved in and out of her.
“Harder…deeper…please,” she begged as he went on fucking her, honoring her request to go not only harder and deeper inside her but also faster.
Her groans turned to screams and shrieks as he slammed himself against her over and over until she felt herself getting so dangerously close to the edge that all she could do was murmur unintelligible sounds.
“Go on, baby, cum for me,” he whispered in her ear. “Give it to me.”
His words were her own undoing.
She felt herself exploding all around his cock, and she was suddenly reduced to a superbly mind-numbing mass of quavering flesh under him and it was only seconds before he followed suit as he called out her name over and over.
“Tasha! Oh fuck, Natasha!” He collapsed on top of her and buried his head in her neck. “I love you. I love how you feel, so perfectly wet and silky.”
“Stop it or I am going to just get on top of you and do this all over again,” she said, and he raised his head to look down at her.
“I don’t want to rain on your parade or anything, but it will take me around twenty minutes to half an hour before I can go again.”
She smiled as his cock slipped out of her.
“Oh, I can wait. Believe me.”
*****
Natasha and Matthew spent the day showing each other just how much they missed each other. On the couch and on the living room floor, in the bed, and even in the shower before they finally dozed off in an exhausted post-coital slumber. But when she woke up the following morning, Natasha was all alone in bed. She rolled over and reached for her phone on the nightstand.
“Wow, I must have been really exhausted,” she thought when she noticed that it was almost ten. She got out of bed and looked around the room. There was no sign of Matthew anywhere, and she did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
“Matthew,” she called out. “Are you in here?”
She walked up to the bathroom and put on a bathrobe before she made her way out to the living room.
“Matthew?” she called again, but there was still no answer.
“That’s rude. He should have at least left a note telling me where he rushed off to,” she thought just as she heard her doorbell ring.
She took a long deep breath and walked to the door. She opened the door and shook her head when she didn’t find anyone but on her doorstep was a bunch of roses and an envelope tucked into the flowers.
“What the…” she started as she bent to pick up the flowers and then pulled the envelope. She opened it and gasped silently when she found two plane tickets to India. She was still looking at the tickets when Matthew walked up to her. “I thought you left,” she said in a soft voice.
“I did. To get those…but I was kind of hoping to get back before you woke up,” he said. “And I also got take out.”
“But this…” She shook her head. “What is this all about?”
“I want to have a future with you, Natasha. I want to do what I love and still be with the woman I love,” he said in a soft voice. “I want to travel with you. Enjoy the adventures the world has to offer with you.”
She shrugged.
“So, you thought India would be a good start?” she asked, smiling, and he nodded.
“Look, I shouldn’t have walked out on you. Brushed you off the way I did.”
“But you already more than made up for it last night. All night last night,” she said, and he nodded.
“I know, but I don’t want it to stop there,” he said as he took a step forward. “Come on, baby. Let’s see the world together.”
She took a long minute before she nodded.
“What the hell?” she said. “I have always wanted to see India anyway.”
“Great.”
He kissed her softly before they made their way back into the apartment.
“So, shall we eat as we search for most common things for an American tourist to do in India?” he asked as he led her into the living room.
“Sounds like a plan,” Natasha said, smiling.
