“I was just being nice.” Cocky smartass.
Chapter Seven
Liam
“Where do you think you’re going?” I asked as I saw Norah making her way down the stairs.
“I’m going to work this morning,” she coughed and continued to come down stairs. When she got to the bottom she stopped in front of me.
“Oh no you are not, little one. You’re still sick. You need to stay in bed.” She glared at me.
“That’s just what you want isn’t it? Me lying in bed all day and night, just waiting for you to wait on me?” She put her hand on her hip.
“Well I thought I had made that part of myself pretty clear. There is nothing I want more in life than to have you in my bed all the time. But right now, this isn’t about me; it’s about you. You need your rest, Norah. Going back to work when you’re not 100% is only going to hurt you and your co-workers in the long run.”
“But I have been in bed for three days!” she was whining. “I need to get up and be around people. That will make me better! Not staying in bed,” she poked her bottom lip out. I stepped closer to her.
“Be careful, little one. You are well enough for me to bite that lip you’re poking out. And if you think I won’t do it, keep sticking it out like that and see what happens.”
“Maybe I want you to bite it,” she stepped closer to me and tried to sound sexy, but sounded raspy. I leaned forward and touched her face. Then I ran my thumb over her lip. Just as I leaned down to suck on it, she started coughing.
“Well that is sexy!” I said as I took a step back. “Go back to bed Norah. The library can live without you for a couple more days.” She turned around and I swatted her butt as she started back up the stairs.
“You are no fun!” she snapped.
“I promise I will show you just how much fun I can be as soon as you are better. But you have to get better first, Norah!”
By the time I got home from work, I was tired myself. I had talked to Norah twice while at work and knew she was feeling better.
She had managed to go the whole day without a fever and kept everything she ate down. I brought home the Chinese food she said she was craving and headed upstairs for an evening in bed. I walked in the bedroom just in time to see her stepping out of the shower. I leaned up against the counter and crossed my arms against my chest.
“This just goes to show how good you are for me.” She turned to face me, her naked body still glistening from the water, towel drying her hair. “I’ve had a very long, bad day. But here you are in all your glory. Just seeing you like this, knowing you are all mine, makes me so happy.” She dropped the towel and stood in front of me.
“Well seeing you happy makes me happy too,” she smiled. I couldn’t help myself, I had to touch her. I touched her shoulders and ran my hands down the front of her body to her waist and pulled her to me. “I’m all wet, Liam. Your suit is going to get wet too,” she said quietly.
“I don’t care.” I kissed her passionately holding her body close to mine. “I’ve missed you. I’m glad to see you’re feeling better.” She wrapped her arms around my neck.
“What would you say if I told you, I have Chinese food in the bedroom, and I just want us to spend the evening and all night in bed together?”
“That sounds perfect,” she whispered.
She put on an old t-shirt of mine and panties even though I objected to the panties, while I showered and put on my pajama bottoms. We got comfortable and fed each other, while watching some sort of dance competition show.
“Can’t we watch the news or a good movie?” I asked. She moved closer and wrapped her legs over mine. I held out an eggroll and she took a big bite.
“No we can’t. I want to watch something that we absolutely don’t care about. I want to lay in this bed and talk, look and touch you. I don’t want you to be distracted or feel like you’re missing something if I happen to take your attention away.” I set the food on the side table. “I just want to be with you.”
“That sounds perfect,” I took her face in my hands and kissed her mouth while pulling her to straddle my lap. I ran my hands under her shirt and over her body. “Tell me if you aren’t up for this, Norah,” I panted in between kisses. She pulled the shirt over her head and through it on the floor. It took me about 10.5 seconds to push her back on the bed and cover her body with mine. I started at her stomach and kissed and licked up her body. She ran her hands through my hair as I took in one of her nipples. She arched her back and turned her head exposing my favorite part of her body; the little butterfly tattoo behind her ear. Like a moth to a flame, so was my mouth to her neck. I could hear her breathing heavy and wiggling under me trying to remove her panties.
“I told you not to bother putting these on, but don’t worry about it we can make it work.” I placed my hand over hers and pulled the fabric the side exposing her flesh to mine. I had managed to pull my pants just far enough to feel her. “Oh god, I’ve missed this,” I groaned as we became one. She wrapped her legs around my waist and we moved our bodies together. Her grip tightened on my arms and she clenched her eyes shut. “Are you alright?” I asked as I rocked into her over and over at a seductively slow pace.
She moved her hands from my arms to the sheets and fisted them in her hands. “Norah, are you okay? Do you want me to stop?” I leaned back and waited for her to open her eyes.
“Don’t stop!” she panted. I moved my arms to the sides of her head and put all my weight on my elbows and kept moving my hips in and out. We looked in each other’s eyes, while tangling our tongues together. I could feel her hands move to my sides pulling me closer, then back to the bed clenching the sheets. She kept biting her bottom lip and breathing heavy when I kissed her neck. Her neck had always been sensitive, but tonight my lips or tongue grazing her skin seemed to make her crazy. I moved my hand down her body under her behind to pull her closer to me, and she raised her leg to my shoulder. “Liam…..oh my God…..Liam…..Don’t stop…..oh my God…..ah, ah,ah….yes, yes, yes….” She was pulling on the sheet and rocking her body against mine. She opened her eyes and kissed me hard and forceful as she reached her climax.
“Fuck, Norah!” I panted. “Either you are exaggerating a little tonight, or I’ve been doing something wrong this whole time,” I leaned up, kneeling between her legs. I grasped both her hands in mine and kept pulling her to me. “You feel amazing, baby.” I looked down and watched myself moving in and out of her. That was all I need to send me over the edge. I pumped myself in her a few more times, then hovered over her kissing her neck and sucking on her lips. “That was so sexy, Norah. Watching you completely lose yourself, knowing I was making you feel like that, I’ve never heard you come like that….it was so hot,” I moved my body to her side and traced a circle on her stomach with my fingers. “I don’t think I even did anything out of the ordinary. I was trying to take it slow and keep it low key since you are just starting to feel better.” She had moved to her side and was facing me, looking me in my eyes but still hadn’t said anything. “Have I been way off the mark before tonight?” I really did want an answer.
“Why would you say that?” She touched my face and ran her fingers over my lips.
“Because I don’t think I have ever seen you come apart like that.”
“Like I said, I wasn’t even doing anything overly exciting, but you seemed to enjoy yourself more than you ever have before.” She smiled and shrugged her shoulders. “I really want to know.” I leaned up on my elbow and looked down at her. “Have I been boring you with different positions, our public escapades and the sex toys in the basement?” I chuckled but I was very serious.
“Not at all. I like the things we do. I guess I was just over due, and everything built up inside me. When you started touching me, it all came to the surface.” She sat up and moved under the covers. I followed close behind her and spooned her in my arms.
“Well that seemed like the most intense orgasm you have ever had.”
“You would tell me if I was doing something wrong all the time, and had finally gotten it right, wouldn’t you?”
“Liam, I can’t imagine you ever doing anything wrong in the bedroom…or the basement, or the limo, the study, by the trees…” She snuggled against me.
“Okay, thank you for that,” I kissed her hair.
“You’re very good at weddings, at picnics, in bathtubs, in the shower…” she went on and rubbed her butt against me.
“I think you’ve made your point,” I said.
“Oh, and the gym,” she rubbed my leg and wrapped her legs in mine.
“Thank you for stroking my ego, Norah. I get the point.” I kissed her neck and behind her ear.
“Well since you are such a good boy, as soon as I get strength back, I will stroke something else,” she hummed.
“You have such a dirty mouth sometimes, young lady.”
We fell asleep in each other’s arms. But Norah was true to her word. A few hours later, I woke up to the most erotic hand job of my life.
Norah
The next two weeks at work were very exciting. The event planners were preparing for a big wedding and I was asked to help out. I spent the mornings putting all the books away from the night before, but when I was done I was given a long list of things to do for the event. It reminded me of what Tiffany must have felt like planning her wedding. I ordered furniture, cleaned linens, and checked on center pieces. When the caterer and Mary had a big disagreement and they ended up quitting, I saved the day by recommending Rosa’s nephew who was just starting out in London and needed the business.
In the evenings while Liam sat in the study talking on his phone making his big business deals, I sat at the round table in the corner talking to florists and printers.
“My, my, little one, it seems something to do with your time, has turned into quite a bit more.” Liam stood with his arms crossed against his chest, leaning against the doorframe, watching me.
“This is only temporary. Mary had 3 of her people leave all at once and she really needs the help right now. Believe me, I got the easy job. Tim was put in charge of the seating arrangements and picking a new band.” I closed the notebook in front of me and put my phone down. “Are you ready for bed?” I asked. He started walking towards me.
“You’re not thinking this could lead to something else?” his voice was even toned, but I could tell he was concerned.
“Well Tim mentioned that with the three positions open in library events, and the summer approaching, Mary might ask our supervisor if we could fill them. I think it is going to depend on how this wedding turns out,” I paused, “but I wouldn’t take another job before talking to you first.” He smiled.
“Norah, I wouldn’t hold you back if this is something you really wanted,” he still had a smug grin on his face.
“You wouldn’t?” I asked with my hand on my hip. “What if I told you with this new job, I had to start working in my bathing suit?” I grinned back at him, thinking of the big photo shoot debacle.
He said he wanted me to do it, if it was what I wanted. But quickly flexed his Dominance when I went from modeling shorts to underwear.
“Well I would think it was really weird that the library would want you to work in your bathing suit,” he laughed. “Don’t get cute, little one, you know what I meant. If you would like to further your career of putting books away, to event planning, I wouldn’t stand in your way.” He paused and cleared his throat. I started to clean up my papers and shove them in my folder. Then he grabbed my hand, a little too tight. I looked up at him. “I still don’t want you working long hours away from me though. So if this new opportunity starts to interfere with us, I would have no problem ending it.” He dropped my hand and started out of the room. “Let’s go to bed, I’m tired.” I kept my eyes on him walking calmly out of the room, then he turned to look at me. “Maybe we should get you a briefcase and your own laptop so you can keep your work organized.” I nodded and shoved all my things in a canvas bag I bought at the library. I had been making notes of contacts, event ideas, and party packages on any paper I could find.
I had filled up 2 legal note pads with information on renting furniture, dry cleaners, florists and cake decorators. I even had several pages of room layouts I had drawn up myself to show Mary how we could set the room up differently. It had become a big mess. I didn’t realize until that moment that this was something I might really want to do. I felt important and creative. It made me truly happy in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with Liam. I tried not to get too excited that if this new job took up one second more of my time than he deemed acceptable, it would be over. I smiled and followed him up the stairs.
He seemed really tense and I wasn’t sure if it was the thought of me having more of a life without him, or something at work. When I came out of the bathroom after brushing my teeth and putting on my black lacy nightgown, he was sitting up on the bed with his head back and his eyes closed. I crawled on the bed and straddled his legs, and he leaned up to look at me.
“I don’t know how much fun I am going to be tonight, little one, I am exhausted.” He let out a deep breath. I ran my hand down his chest and began to rub him.
“Don’t worry about it. Let me help you relax.” Liam liked control in all things, but I knew when I took him in my mouth he was mine. He made his sweet humming noise, lightly touched the back of my head, and his body completely relaxed.
Chapter Eight
Norah
I stood at the top of the stairs looking out into the hall going over my checklist. Everything was finally in place and the hall looked absolutely amazing. I put my pen in my mouth and for the fourth time mentally counted the number of wait staff Tim and I had hired, when I heard his voice. It sent chills up my spine.
“Well if it isn’t Norah Chandler. Wow, gray is an excellent color on you!” I turned to see Nick Meyers slowly walking up the stairs. I took my clipboard and covered my chest suddenly feeling under dressed in my strapless gray knee length dress. I looked over my shoulder to see if I could make it to the elevator before he got to the top. I didn’t think I could. I stepped back. “Don’t be scared, Norah. I’m not going to hurt you,” he said. The thought hadn’t crossed my mind until he mentioned it, so I turned to walk away. “Please don’t leave, I just wanted to talk to you,” he kept talking even though I was now making my way across the room to the small elevator in the corner. “Please, Norah, I am so sorry for what I said to you before, I really am. Don’t run, I just want to talk.” I pushed the button and stood there waiting for the elevator when he cornered me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. “Norah, please, I’m not going to hurt you. I just wanted to talk to you.” I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him. Nick was very tall, probably 6’5 with blonde hair and very handsome. He was wearing a dark gray suit with a black shirt underneath without a tie. His eyes were pleading with me, and he genuinely looked sorry.
“Fine, talk,” I said in a very determined voice. I figured we were in public so there was really nothing he could do to me. He gestured for me to sit down at one of the tables in the room so I slowly walked toward the chair and took a seat. He sat beside me.
“I know I scared you at the dinner that night, and I’m very sorry. I had heard Liam was in love and settling down but I couldn’t believe it.” He cleared his throat. “I don’t know what he has told you about our relationship, but we ran kinda wild before, and…” he tugged at his collar, “shared a lot of things.”
“Liam told me.” I was glaring at him. He nodded.
“Well good, although it probably gives you an even lower opinion of me,” he chuckled a little.
“I have no opinion of you at all, Nick.” I crossed my arms against my chest. He looked upset at my comment, then his eyes softened.
“Fine. I don’t expect you to like me, Norah….at least not right now. I just want the chance to be your friend.” He reached his h
and out like he wanted to touch mine, but mine was no longer on the table. He recoiled almost immediately.
“I don’t want to be your friend, Nick. And I really don’t think Liam would like you trying to be my friend either. Matter of fact, I think Liam would be very upset just knowing you were here talking to me,” I paused and thought for a second, “How did you know I was here, anyway?” I asked. He looked down at his hands and then back up to me.
“My niece is getting married here tomorrow. I saw a list on her desk that listed you as one of her event planners. I wasn’t sure it was the same Norah Chandler….actually I’m very surprised.” Again he smiled almost the same smug grin that Liam smiled when he knew something I didn’t.
“Why are you so surprised? Didn’t think I was capable of doing anything else besides being a sex slave?” I snapped back. His grin didn’t diminish.
“No, not at all. I am sure you have many talents, Miss Chandler. I am surprised that Liam is letting you use any of those talents, besides being his sex slave….is all.” I stood up and walked back to the elevator. “Liam can be demanding, which I am sure you know.”
“Yes, I know exactly how demanding Liam can be, thank you!” He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to face him.
“Norah, I don’t want to fight with you, I don’t want to upset you. I just want to talk to you, be your friend, like I said. Liam doesn’t have to know, actually it’s probably best if Liam doesn’t know,” he smiled his cocky grin.
“I don’t keep things from Liam.” He stepped closer to me, completely closing the distance and touched my chin to make me look at him.
“Well I am sure if you tell him you saw me here, he is going to be more than upset. He might even re-think this whole job thing.”
“So I suggest, if you want to keep this job, then you don’t mention me at all.” He stepped away and took my hand in his. He leaned down looking me in the eyes and lightly kissed my hand. “Have a good day, Norah,” he whispered as he turned and walked away.
