Malt Me (Liquor Cabinet Series #1)

by D. L. Gallie

  When I walked into her hospital room the day after, and I saw her beautiful face, bruised and swollen, my heart skipped a beat and started to race. I swear it was going to beat out of my chest. It was in that moment that I realised, I was falling for Mackenzie Merlot.

  After visiting her at the hospital, I broke down and cried when I got home. Relief flooded through my body that she was safe and okay, but all the emotion I was holding in came rushing out.

  Keeping my feelings for Kenz hidden was tough. I didn’t want to scare her; she’d been through enough as it was. Kenz had just been to hell and back, she didn’t need me to make it harder, even though she made me hard, constantly. I’d get hard seeing her smile, seeing her laughing. When she’d sip her coffee, that was the ultimate hard on. Kenz has no idea how sexy she is, and that only increases her sexiness.

  Selfishly, I bought her coffee all the time, so I could hear her moan. Just hearing that was enough to make me smile, plus it gave me an excuse to see her. Hearing her moan was stored in my spank bank for use later…when I was alone.

  One Saturday, when I was at the coffee shop near Kenz’s place, I bumped into Sarah, who had the same idea. Adding another coffee for Sarah to the order, we waited together. She turned her body, stared me in the eyes; leaning forward she pointed and warned, “You better not hurt her, buddy,” She poked me in the chest. “She is not only my best friend, but she’s also like a sister to me. If you hurt her, I will hunt you down, and you will feel pain like you have never felt before.”

  Looking back at her, right in the eyes, I replied. “Sarah, I would never do anything to intentionally hurt Kenz. She is the most amazingly beautiful person, inside and out, that I have ever met. If I get a chance with her, I assure you that I will never do anything to jeopardize that or her. It will be my life’s mission, to give her the happily ever after that she deserves.”

  Sarah looked at me dumbfounded. “Um, wow, that totally was not what I was expecting you to say, but I’m very glad that we are on the same page, and that you will look after my friend when you get your chance.”

  Our order is called, Sarah collected it and walked out. I stood there, staring at her in shock as she left, her reply was totally out of left field. I was sure she was going to warn me off, tell me to stay in the friend zone. Walking out to my car, I smiled to myself when I realised that she said when and not if. My heart did a little flutter at that tidbit of information.

  Kenz and I see each other just about every day, and most weekends we hang out, either at her place or mine. This weekend she suggested we go out for lunch. Reaching for my phone, I tell her I’ll call Sarah to meet us and she hesitantly says, “No, just us. If that’s okay?”

  Smiling at her, I reply, “Yeah sure. That’s fine.” Inside I’m mentally high fiving myself, yelling fuck yeah and doing my happy dance; yes I have a happy dance. I try to act all cool, but my heart is bursting with happiness right at this moment. I’m pretty sure she knows that I am falling for her, just like I’m pretty sure she is falling for me too.

  Kenz and I have our first date, unofficially of course, and it could not have been more perfect. We go to Just Catch and get fish-n-chips, then head to the pier and watch the sunset.

  We sit down at the pier for hours, just chatting. It isn’t until we realise it was dark out that we packed up and headed back to her apartment. I pull up at her house, and after seeing her inside safely, I drive home. The drive home is a blur, but I do know that I’ve never felt so happy to be on a non-date before.

  Two weeks before Kenzie’s graduation, I finally get the courage to officially ask her to be my girlfriend. It is a Saturday afternoon and we are sitting on her couch, watching some chick crap, when I ask. My heart is pounding, my palms are sweaty. I look over at her and I decide that it is now or never. It isn’t very romantic, I am so nervous, I blurt out. “Kenzie, will you be my girlfriend?” I feel like I am going to throw up, but when I look up and I see that her face is lit up like the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, I know she is going to say yes.

  Smiling, she immediately says, “Jordan, I’d love to be your girlfriend”.

  Best seven words ever to have been spoken.

  Before my brain has a chance to register that she actually said yes, she leans over and kisses me. I’m telling you, this kiss is the kiss of all kisses. It feels like there is fireworks going off, and when she runs her fingers through my hair and pulls me closer to deepen the kiss; I nearly come in my pants like a horny fifteen-year-old.

  Pulling back from the best kiss ever, she looks deep into my soul and whispers, “Hi, boyfriend.”

  Smiling, I lean forward, placing a gentle kiss on her nose before drawing back, I run my finger slowly down her now healed cheek and whisper, “Hi, girlfriend.”

  She gives me a megawatt smile, before she kisses me again. My cock starts to twitch. She then climbs over and straddles my lap, my cock getting harder as we make out on her couch, like horny teenagers on a Saturday night at the drive-in. We are interrupted by the sound of the kitchen door slamming shut, and Sarah yelling, “I’ve come to clean ze pool!” Sarah and Josh walk into the lounge room, Josh laughing at her cheesiness.

  Kenz and I freeze, we turn our heads to see both Sarah and Josh standing there open-mouthed. In unison we both say, “Hey, guys,” We both burst out laughing: we do the speaking in unison thing quite often.

  Sarah smiles, turns to Josh, slaps him on the chest, and says, “Cough up, buddy, told you they’d be together before Kenz’s graduation.” Josh shakes his head, reaches into his wallet and hands over one hundred bucks.

  He looks to us both and says, “Seriously, guys, you could not have held off a little longer?”

  With that we all burst our laughing. Kenz climbs off my lap and walks into the kitchen and grabs four beers out of the fridge. She leans in to Sarah and says, “Did you seriously bet on me again?”

  “Yep, and at the rate I’m going I’ll soon be able to buy my very own vineyard.”

  “I think I should get a cut of these winnings, after all it’s due to me you keep winning.”

  “Keep dreaming Kenz. I won fair and square.”

  Sarah grabs a beer from Kenz and then Kenz passes one to Josh and me. The girl’s head down the hall into Kenzie’s room to get ready to go out to dinner. Josh sits down and we catch the last of the footy game on TV while we wait.

  Half an hour later, they both emerge and my heart stops. Kenzie is wearing an amazing purple dress that accentuates her curves and these killer heels that make her already sexy legs look even sexier. Managing to stand up, I walk over to her. “Wow, you look amazing.”

  Sarah squeals, “Fuck, yes, she does. My girl is smokin hawt!”

  She turns towards Josh, clears her throat while doing a spin. Josh rolls his eyes. “Sarah, you also look hot.” He wraps his arms around her and dips her upside down. She squeals, and when he places her back on her feet, he kisses her senseless.

  While they are making out, I gently grab Kenz around her waist, hugging her closer to me. Lowering my head, I gently place my mouth against her soft luscious lips. Her tongue slipping inside my mouth, our tongues twisting together passionately before resting our foreheads together, gazing into each other’s eyes.

  Breaking our moment, Josh slaps me on the back. “Come on, you two, lovebirds, I’m starving.”

  Kenz pulls away and grabs her purse off the breakfast bar, I grab my keys and wallet, and we all head to Dragon Garden; for the first of many official double date nights.

  Sarah and Josh drop us back at Kenzie’s place after dinner. We offer for them to come in for a nightcap, but they decline, thankfully. I want some alone time with my girlfriend. Man, I love saying that Kenzie is my girlfriend. As they drive off, I grab Kenzie’s hand and entwine our fingers together as we head inside. Kenzie is taking her shoes off, so I grab a couple of beers from the fridge and we sit on the couch chatting, just like we used to.

  A few hours later, I get up to leave, and
Kenzie reaches out grabbing my wrist. She looks up at me and hesitantly says, “Please stay.”

  “Are you sure?”

  She stands up and lifts her purple dress over her head; she is standing there like a goddess in a black lacy strapless bra and matching black lacy boyleg undies.

  “I guess you are sure then.”

  She steps towards me giggling, before wrapping her arms around my neck, nuzzling her way to my ear and whispers, “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, Jordan.”

  Placing my hands under her ass, I lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and kisses me. I carry her down the hall into her bedroom, gently setting her down next to the bed. Reaching out, she slowly untucks my navy dress shirt. One by one, she carefully undoes the buttons, the anticipation is killing me. Once the buttons are all undone, she rakes her fingers up my stomach and pushes the shirt off my shoulders and down my arms. She then turns her attention to the button and fly of my jeans, but her fingers are shaking and her breathing is labored. Placing my hand over hers, I undo the button and fly; she places her hands inside the waistband and pushes them down along with my boxer briefs. Stepping out of them, I stand there in front of her fully naked. My dick is rock hard and standing to attention.

  Stepping towards her, I wrap my arms around her silky soft shoulders and I pull her into me, our lips colliding. She slightly opens her mouth, and I take the chance to slip my tongue in. I gently nip her lip as I pull back. Looking into her eyes, I see that they are ablaze with lust, and it only makes me harder knowing she wants this as much as I do. Kissing down her neck and along her collarbone, I unclasp her bra and it falls to the floor.

  When I see her breasts for the first time, I near come right there. She has the most amazing tits I’ve ever seen; they are the perfect size for my palm. Her pert pink nipples are erect and hard, I can’t wait to suck on them. Gently massaging them, I softly tug her nipples, rolling them between my thumb and finger, before bending down and taking one into my mouth, gently suckling and nibbling on her nipple.

  She pushes away; I panic, thinking that she doesn’t want this anymore but she bends down and quickly removes her undies. We are both now fully naked, the air between us thick with erotic lust. Glancing down her beautiful body, I see her bare smooth pussy is glistening already. Stepping forward, I gently place my hands on her cheeks, “Are you sure about this Kenz?”

  She looks deep into my eyes. ‘Yes, Jordan, I am. You make me feel safe and I’ve never felt that before. I want you to make love to me right now.” That’s all the reassurance I need, I lean forward and kiss her, pulling her closer to me; I escalate our kiss. Reaching down I rub my finger around her clit, she is soaking wet. We both moan into our kiss, as I continue to circle her clit with my finger, she begins to grind her pussy on my hand.

  Easing her back gently, I lay her on the bed. Once we are both lying down, I kiss my way down her chest. Licking from her belly button to the top of her mound; when I reach her clit I take it into my mouth and suck. Her back arches off the bed and she moans, shoving her pussy further into my face. Inserting a finger, I suck on her clit harder. She moans as I lick down her slit, flicking my tongue into her tight hole, before licking back up to her clit. I gently bite her swollen nub as I insert another finger. Arching her back as I hook my finger around to find her G-spot, her movement, effectively shoving her pussy further onto my face.

  She reaches out and tugs on my hair, while I continue to suck and nip on her clit, I feel her walls clenching around my fingers. I hear her whimper, “I’m coming.” She tugs harder on my hair as I thrust my tongue deeper into her pussy, my tongue and fingers pumping in and out, faster and faster until I feel her explode all over my fingers and tongue. I suck all of her glorious juices, as she comes down from her orgasmic high.

  When I feel her relax, I work my way back up her amazing body. Looking into her glorious green eyes, I say, “Hi, girlfriend.”

  She giggles and tugs me in for another kiss. I swear each kiss is more electric than the last. Breathlessly, she pulls back, “Hi, boyfriend.”

  Before I know what she is doing, she has wrapped her hand around my dick. She pushes me onto my back, stroking my cock as she works her way down my chest. When she reaches my cock, she licks the top while continuing to pump up and down with her hand. She then hollows her cheeks and takes my cock deep into her mouth and sucks. “Fuck me, Kenz, ohm yeah, suck me harder.” She keeps pumping and sucking. I feel myself about to come when I lift her up. “Kenz, as much as that is fuckin’ amazing, when I come with you for the first time, I want to be buried balls deep inside of you.”

  Giggling, she slowly kisses her way back up to my mouth. I grab her face and slam my lips against hers for a kiss. She reaches into her nightstand, grabs a condom, and straddles me, ripping it open with her teeth before slowly rolling it over my thick, throbbing cock. Getting up on her knees, she slowly lowers herself onto me, her eyes rolling back in delight.

  Watching her ride my cock is the most erotic, hottest thing I have ever seen. We move into a sensual and evocative rhythm, our bodies aligning together. Closing my eyes to savour the moment, I groan with desire, opening my eyes, I see Kenz squeezing her tits and tugging on her nipples. She moans and I feel her muscles tighten on my cock. She explodes around me and screams my name as she rides out her orgasm, letting out one final moan as she grinds her hips on my cock. With a guttural grunt, I release my seed deep inside of her and we ride the final waves of our orgasm together.

  Kenz collapses onto my chest, we are both breathless, our hearts frantically beating. After a few minutes, she lifts off me; I remove the condom and place it in the bin in the corner. Lying back down, she snuggles into my side and throws her leg over me. We lay there in each other’s arms, subconsciously, I rub my hand up and down her arm; I’m so content right now. The world could end, and I’d die a very happy man, I laugh at that thought.

  Kenz lifts her head to look at me. “What’s so funny?”

  “I was just thinking that I could die right now and I’d be okay with that. Kenz, that was the most intense sex that I’ve ever had. You are amazing Mackenzie Merlot. I’m so glad that you came crashing into my life.”

  Her smile grows, as her cheeks turn a deeper shade of pink, enhancing her post orgasmic glow. “Jordan, you’re amazing and I’m ever so glad I bumped into you, too.”

  Leaning over, I kiss her. Pulling back, I stare into her eyes, I’m lost in a sea of green and I smile. She returns my smile and my heart skips a beat. “Kenz, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met. Your after orgasm glow is stunning.”

  She reaches up, grabs my face and kisses me. I roll us over, so I’m between her legs; my cock is already hard when she starts to rub her pussy against me. Grabbing another condom, we make love again before falling asleep, in each other’s arms.

  Graduation comes around quickly, and after struggling, with some long nights and big weekends, I manage to catch up on all that I missed. Officially, I graduate with the rest of my class in October, minus one person of course.

  Clint is still safely locked away, not able to hurt me or anyone again. I used to check in weekly with the Department of Corrections to ensure he is still locked away, but I haven’t checked in with them or thought about him in a long time. I’m ever so grateful that he is locked away. I’m finally getting on with my life but most of all, I’m not letting him win.

  Graduation day is hectic but amazing at the same time. Mum and Skye travel down for it, and stay with me for the weekend. I finally tell them that Jordan and I are dating. “Finally,” they both say in unison. I’m glad that they approve and are happy for me; looking back, I wish I had listened to everyone’s concerns in regards to Clint and then maybe, he would not have assaulted me.

  Before the ceremony I was super nervous, I am scared that I’ll trip on my gown and fall flat on my face. To be on the safe side, I decide to wear black ballerina flats, with my Nine West black three-quarter pants an
d a fuchsia silk sleeveless top. After several different hairstyle trials, I decide on simple and chic, low bun. Looking at myself in the mirror, I look and feel very sophisticated.

  The ceremony goes off without a hitch and I don’t trip when I walk up onto the stage to collect my diploma. When my name is called, Mum, Skye, and Jordan are all shouting with glee; it’s quite embarrassing but I can’t help but smile. I’ve not felt this happy, or relaxed in a long time, it is very refreshing. Kenzie is finally back.

  Once the ceremony is over Mum and Skye take me out for a celebration dinner, just the three of us. It is nice to be just us girls again, I realise how much I miss them. They bought me a beautiful gold and white gold watch as a graduation present; I cry happy tears when they give it to me.

  After dinner Jordan meets up with us for drinks. We head to the casino, and as Skye is under eighteen, she heads back to my apartment. Jordan, Mum and I end up doing karaoke and drinking margaritas until three in the morning. Man, do we all have horrible hangovers the next morning.

  Waking up early the following day, I decide to do some laundry while I wait for the coffee to brew. Mum and Skye are still sleeping, so I quietly grab the basket and head down to the laundry, which is located in the garage. Walking through the kitchen, I open the back door and there is a package sitting on the top step, addressed to me.

  It’s a beautiful eggplant purple box with a shimmery silver bow. I immediately smile and think it’s from someone close, as it’s my favourite colour. When I open it up its full of sunflowers, I smile and think they are from Jordan…unbeknownst to me, they’re not from him.

  The weekend with Mum and Skye flies by. I wish they could stay longer but they have to get back in time for Skye to be at school on Monday, as she has her end of year finals. It’s hard to believe my baby sister will be in her last year of high school next year. Just before lunch on Sunday, I wave Mum and Skye off, and this time I cry happy tears when they leave.
