Worth The Chance (Blue Falls #1)

by Stella James

  “Baby, you could be frying up tofu in here and I’d be hard just from watching you.”

  “Is that so?” She began untying her apron as she walked across the kitchen. Her shirt went next. She stood in front of me in nothing but her shorts and a very sexy black bra. She raised up on her tip toes and brought her soft lips to my neck, gently nipping and kissing her way to my ear. “I was thinking of you in the shower this morning.”

  My cock went from aching to pulsing. “Oh? And just what were you thinking?” I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her close enough so she could feel what she did to me.

  She continued to whisper, brushing her lips along my jaw as she spoke. “I was pretending that it was your hands on my skin, washing me. Teasing me.”

  “Did you touch yourself Lily?”

  She let out a soft moan against my neck. “Yes.”

  Fuck me. I brought my hands to the snap on her shorts. I pulled them down her smooth legs, along with her black lace panties. I could see how wet and ready she was and I hadn’t even touched her yet. I reached for the clasp on her bra and drew it from her perfect tits.

  “I want you to show me baby. Show me how you touched yourself this morning while you were imagining it was me.”

  She let out a surprised yelp when I hoisted her up and placed her on the counter top. I backed myself up and leaned against the opposite counter so I could fully appreciate the view in front of me. She looked at me with hooded eyes as she brought her hand down to her now dripping pussy. She brushed two of her slim fingers against her slit and brought them back up to her swollen clit. She rubbed them back and forth and began rocking her hips, grinding herself against her hand. Her eyes didn’t leave mine. Her breath was coming in short puffs as she pushed one finger inside of herself and then another. Her other hand trailed up to one of her perky tits, she tugged on the hard rosy bud and rolled it between her fingers. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head. My cock was begging to get out. I removed the rest of my clothes in record time and brought my hand down to my raging dick to relieve some of the pressure. Lily’s eyes widened when I began stroking myself but her hands remained where they were.

  “This is all you Lily, every inch of my dick is hard because of you.”

  I stalked towards her like a man possessed. Her low moans filled the room and I could tell she was close. I wanted to be the one to send her over. I wanted to own every single one of her orgasms. I removed her hand from her slick center and brought her drenched fingers up to my lips, kissing the tips and sucking them into my mouth. The taste of her pussy was pure fucking heaven. I spread her thighs wide and roughly plunged two of my fingers inside her, curling them up to hit her sweet spot. I brought my mouth to one of her nipples and sucked the tight bud in, biting it gently and releasing it with a pop. I could feel her tightening around my fingers. I removed my hand and replaced it with my eager cock, her hips met my every thrust. Her nails dug into my shoulders as I lifted her from the counter and spun her back against the nearest wall, her legs wrapped tightly around me while I drove into her. Her moans became incoherent words as her pussy tightened and her release flooded me, I came so hard I’m surprised I didn’t see stars. Her arms and legs wrapped tightly around me as I slowed down to a stop. My lips found hers and took a deep kiss. I remained inside of her and took us down the hall to the bathroom. She held on while I turned on the shower, our bodies stayed connected until the hot water began to spill over us. I gently lifted her and placed her on her feet in front of me. We took our time washing each other. I couldn’t stop my hands from roaming over the softness of her curves. When the water turned cold, I picked her back up and took us to the bedroom. We took our time and eased into each other, never breaking our hold. Our hands laced together as we moved in a silent rhythm until we both gave into our pleasure. Her body instinctively curled into mine, the familiar tracing of her finger tips over my hard chest brought me a sense of peace that I didn’t realize I’d been missing all these years. I was sure before, but now I knew without a doubt that there was no going back.

  The weekend arrived and I was anxious to see our hard work pay off. I owed Kate and Mona big time for all their help, Cole too. Our escapade in his kitchen was by far the most brazen thing I had ever done. He brought out this freedom within me that I didn’t even know I had. He took away my inhibitions and made me feel confident, not only physically but emotionally as well. That night when we lay in his bed after wordlessly taking each other again, I knew that I had fallen head over heels in love with him. I wanted to tell him, and I would, but there was still a small part of me that was afraid this was all too good to be true. I was terrified that I would wake up just as bruised and broken as I was before and realize that this had all been a dream. For now I’d keep the words close to my own heart and when I was able to chip away at that last piece of doubt, I’d tell him that he not only owned my body but my soul as well.

  I peeked out the window to where Cole and his friend were setting up the BBQ’s. Trace seemed like a good guy and he’d been Cole’s best friend since they were kids so I made a conscience effort not to judge him based on my past experience. He had a calm smile and laid back attitude which made it easy to like him. Mona informed me that he was terribly slutty and likely wouldn’t settle down unless hell froze over. She stated matter of fact that his handsome face and hot as fuck tattooed body were good for eye candy and nothing else. The good natured way in which she said it told me that she wasn’t the least bit offended by his behaviour. The fact that he was standing right beside her when she said it proved their comfortable friendship. I felt a pang of sadness when I thought about the friends I used to have. When Kevin began manipulating how I spent my time, they gradually stopped trying and I couldn’t blame them. By the time I realized how bad things were in my marriage, I was too ashamed to reach out to any of them for help. I was still ashamed of the fact that I was so blinded by his influence that I willingly discarded years of friendship. It was too late to mend those bridges now, but I would never make that mistake again. I had found a group of people who welcomed me with open arms and that is something I would not take for granted.

  The fenced yard behind the library was bursting with the citizens of Blue falls. I made my way around and introduced myself to the people I didn’t already know. The weather was hot so Cole and Trace brought out water guns for the kids to play with. A decision I’m sure they both regretted when the mob turned against them and they were soaked head to toe. Cole’s parents came too and I found myself yet again brought into a tight hug, this time by Cole’s dad, Tim. Looking at him, it was obvious that he took good care of himself. I’d even go as far to say that Cole’s dad was totally hot. He had the same thick dark hair, just more on the salt and pepper side, the same tanned complexion and the same strong jaw. He towered over Judy and had the same muscular build as Cole, no doubt from a life spent doing physical labour. Judy flitted around and mingled with Tim by her side, keeping a firm hand on the small of her back. It was clear that Cole’s parents were still very much in love and judging by the way Tim’s hand made its way down to her ass with a squeeze every so often, they were not lacking in the passion department either. I was bringing a tub of fresh ice out the back door when Kate approached me with a young man wearing a camera around his neck.

  “Lily, this is Brandon, he’s working at the Mayor’s office this summer as part of our student work program.”

  “Nice to meet you Brandon.” He shook my hand while a furious blush worked its way up his neck. He was too cute.

  “Brandon’s other job is to take pictures for the town paper, he’d like to take a couple of the new kid’s corner if you don’t mind?”

  “Of course not, come on in.”

  I set down the plastic tub and led Brandon to the new space. He took a couple of pictures and at Kate’s insistence took one of her and I in front of the new dress up corner, her a
rm draped around my shoulders and a proud smile upon my face.

  The afternoon faded into evening, the last of the town’s people filtered out with murmurs of appreciation and enthusiasm. I was beyond exhausted but there was still the mess to be cleaned up. Cole stayed behind and hauled full garbage bags out to the dumpster in the alley. I was wiping down the last of the folding tables when his arms came around me from behind.

  “You did good today babe, I’m proud of you.” He swept my hair to the side and kissed the back of my neck. I turned to face him and met his stare with my own. The words I so desperately wanted to say were on the tip of my tongue when we were interrupted by Mona’s bellowing voice demanding we find a room to bang each other in. Her timing was terrible but her very vocal entrance made us both smile.

  “What are you doing back? I thought you left already.”

  “As if I’d leave you with this disaster mon ami. I went to get beer.” Just then, Kate and Trace made their way around the corner with two large pizza boxes.

  “We so deserve pizza and beer after all this work.” Kate said.

  Trace nodded in agreeance. “Especially after those little shits turned on Cole and me. My balls are still shivering from that ice water attack.”

  Mona shot him a smirk. “Serves you right for giving those brats the weapons dumdum.”

  We passed the pizza around and fell into easy conversation. The cold beer went down nicely as we cleaned up the last of the mess. Trace and Mona kept the rest of us entertained with their banter. I thought maybe there was something between them at some point but when I brought it up I was shut down immediately with adamant protests from both of them. Apparently their relationship was and always would be strictly platonic. Their teasing continued when Trace’s phone went off, he gave it a quick glance and typed a response.

  “Well, if we’re done here you’re going to have to excuse me. Duty calls.” he said.

  “Oh I didn’t realize you were on call, you didn’t have to stay.” I was met with an amused grin from Kate who was quick to set me straight.

  “He’s not on call honey, he’s going to get his dick sucked.”

  Mona was equally quick to chime in. “Ugh, please tell me that wasn’t Melissa the hoover vac texting you. I wish you’d stop banging that awful troll.”

  “Now, now ladies, no need to get jealous. I’m happy to accept your services should you feel the need to offer them.” His response earned him a glare from Kate and a slap on the back of the head from Mona. He chuckled and narrowly dodged the wet rag Cole tossed at him. “Is that a no then? Alright, you’ve forced me into the arms of the hoover vac, I humbly accept your decision.” He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek much to Cole’s dismay and went on his way. His laughter echoed even after he rounded the corner of the building.

  Mona and Kate left soon after, they decided to keep the night going and headed to Mac’s. I had my bag packed to spend the night at Cole’s but we were both so drained we decided to stay at my place instead. He insisted that I go ahead while he locked up for the night. My legs objected as I climbed the stairs but the thought of a hot bath kept me moving. I quickly tidied up my dishes from that morning and threw the pile of unfolded laundry on my couch into the linen closet. Good enough. I got the tub going and dumped a generous splash of my favourite bubble bath into the running water. The scent of lavender and lemon filled the air as I peeled off my clothes and threw my hair up into a messy knot. My stiff muscles relaxed instantly in the hot water. I leaned back and closed my eyes.

  I took out the last of the trash and locked the back door. Lily was nearly dead on her feet, I’d be surprised if she wasn’t already passed out upstairs. I was so damn proud of her for all the work she put into today. A far cry from the shy woman I first met, the Lily I saw today put herself out there with confidence and ease. I had no doubt that her new program would be popular. She was great with kids and it seemed as though the whole town thought highly of her. She was kind and patient with the older folks when they wanted to learn the ropes on social media and more than once today I saw her entertaining several smaller kids so that their parents could have something to eat. I was a lucky son of a bitch to be able to call her mine. I’d also noticed more than one set of wandering eyes checking her out today. I couldn’t blame them. The dress she had on fit her like a second skin but that didn’t stop me from grasping her hand with mine to show them she was off limits.

  I dragged my feet up the stairs to her apartment, thinking a hot shower would feel good right about now. I kicked off my shoes and peeked over at her bed, expecting to see her fast asleep. She wasn’t there so I continued to the bathroom where I caught the faint smell of flowers. I stood in the doorway and took in the sight of Lily completely relaxed, surrounded by bubbles and candlelight. She looked so peaceful, like she didn’t have a care in the world. She lazily opened her eyes and gave me a slow smile.

  “You know, I bet this tub is big enough for two.” Her voice was soft and sleepy.

  I wasn’t about to turn down the invitation. I undressed quickly while she watched me with blatant appreciation. My cock was already half hard and bobbed against my stomach as I moved toward the tub. She sat up, moving forward to give me enough room to slide in behind her and promptly leaned back into me. I put my arms around her and used my hands to scoop up the bubbles and rub them up and over her arms and shoulders.

  “Thank you for all your help this last week, I couldn’t have done any of it without you and everyone else taking the time to pitch in.” she said.

  “No need to thank me, I was happy to help.” I brought her hand to my mouth and brushed my lips against her soft skin. She sat up and turned to face me, bending her legs and placing one on her either side of me so I was snug between her thighs. She lightly ran her fingers through my hair and brought them to rest behind my neck. Her eyes found mine as she leaned forward and brought her lips tentatively to mine. I could sense that it was important for her to take control this time and I was more than happy to let her run the show. Her kiss was soft but sure, she nipped gently at my bottom lip. I waited for her to open her eyes.

  “Take whatever you need baby, I’ll give you anything.” And I meant it.

  She nodded and parted her thighs until my cock was running along her wet folds. She lifted herself up and used her hand to guide me to her entrance. She slid down my length in one slow thrust, her eyes never leaving mine. A low moan escaped her throat when she bottomed out, my entire cock now buried deep inside of her. She began to move, grinding her swollen clit against me with every push of her hips. I brought my hands to her hair and tilted her head back, bringing my mouth to her neck I swirled my tongue over the silky skin above her pulse. We moved slowly, like we had all the time in the world. I leaned back, my hands now firmly gripping her hips. Her eyes were still on me, her breath coming in gasps as she rode my cock like a queen. “That’s it baby, take my cock like it was made just for you.” She picked up her speed, her beautiful tits bouncing as her tight pussy continued to suck me in.

  “I’m so close Cole, you feel so good inside me baby. I need more.”

  I tightened my grip on her hips and bucked up hard. Water splashed around us as our bodies came together with each fierce strike. Her nails dug into my shoulders, her core pulsing around me. “Oh Cole, oh God yes, don’t stop!” She came undone in my arms, I pounded furiously into her and came with a shout. “Fuck!”

  Our sated bodies slowed to a stop, our arms around each other firmly. My eyes opened when she began to giggle into my neck. “Um Cole?”

  “Yeah babe.”

  “I think we need to get a mop.”

  I looked down and realized the tub was nearly empty, water and bubbles dripped over the sides and covered the bathroom floor. “Mm, it was worth it though, wasn’t it?”

  “Best bubble bath ever.” she replied lazily.

  I awoke the next mo
rning to find a note on the pillow beside me.

  Good morning beautiful, went home to grab clothes. I didn’t want to wake you, I’ll be back soon with breakfast.

  I peeled back the sheets and slipped on an old t shirt and some boy shorts and padded to the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My messy hair and the faint red marks along my neck made me look thoroughly dishevelled. And completely happy. I brushed my teeth and ran a comb through my tangled hair. Spotting the mop against the tub gave me a vivid recollection of last night. I’d wanted to show Cole just how much I needed him. I wanted to give him the satisfaction of knowing what he did to me. When he leaned back and let me take the lead it was as if he was reading my mind, the desire in his eyes melted away my hesitation. When he looked at me I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. I felt cherished and safe in a way that I couldn’t describe.

  I put on some coffee and settled onto the couch with my Kindle while I waited for him to return. I’d been so busy lately and I had plenty of reading to catch up on. I was a couple chapters into MJ Summers’ new novel when Cole came through the door carrying a bag from Olive’s, the smell of pure bliss immediately filled my tiny apartment.

  “Mm, is that what I think it is?” Everything Olive made was truly delicious but her scones were particularly amazing and equally addictive.

  “Only the best for my girl.” He said with a sexy wink. I leaned up for a quick kiss, the masculine scent of his soap had me lingering for another before I snatched the bag from his hand and breathed in the aroma of cinnamon and blueberries. “Hey now, I’m beginning to think you’re happier to see that bag than you are me.”
