The Twin

by Smokey Moment

  “They have the best steak. The best lamb. Or if you like seafood, they have that too. What do you like?” he asked, looking at her intensely. He was taken with her. Bella had charisma and charm. Her sex appeal was undeniable. And he found himself wanting to bed her. Her lips looked as though they felt wonderful. Her eyes were sensual. Her voice sexy. He looked away briefly. It would be an insult to lust over her and she had just arrived for their first dinner together.

  “Um. Seafood is good.” Bella looked around again. She had something she wanted to say but she didn’t want to hurt his feelings. She didn’t want to appear ungrateful. “I um…I got my plane ticket. You gave me much more than I needed. Your note said not to give it back, but I’m afraid I have too. I can’t keep it. But I want to thank you for helping me. Because of you, I have no worries now.” He paused as the waiter approached. “What will it be ma’am?” the young man said. “Oh. I’ll have Salmon with potatoes and stuffed peppers,” Bella said. She had already looked at their menu before she got there. He sat his menu down. “I’ll have the filet mignon with green beans and potatoes,” he replied.

  The waiter took their menus. “Um. So…I have something for you,” she said, as she handed him the envelope. He smiled and then picked up his water. “What? Take this. It’s yours. I have no need for it. I have enough to eat with. I’m ok,” she said. “No. I can’t. I found it. I’m gifting it to you. You owe me nothing. Don’t think I’m using money to get close to you. I want to do that anyway. Money or not,” he said with an intensity that could not be ignored.

  Bella looked at him. She was attracted to him. It was hard not to be. He looked passionate. He looked like a man a woman would get hooked on. And the way he looked at her was flattering. Bella was aware of her beauty. But she never had a man make her feel so much more beautiful than she thought she was. She sat the envelope in front of her. “Ok. Alright. I give up,” she replied. She liked him. Everything about him. She would allow him to get to know her. She wanted to know him. His aura was pleasant. His words were like music. He said the right things.

  She wasn’t easy to calm. She had just exited a bad relationship with someone who was terrible with his words. With his expression. With his love and lack thereof. But not Noah. He was engaging. Magnetic. Charming. He listened intently to her, hanging on her every word. They talked for hours about their lives, their work and family. Niles wondered if she noticed a difference. He promised Noah he would take her on a few dates and then change it to phone conversations only until Noah was free to step in. Niles was careful about what he said. Noah had told him not to reveal too much personal information. But Bella was easy to talk to.

  Niles walked Bella to her suite. She opened her door. He hoped to be invited in, but Bella was reluctant. She didn’t trust herself with him. He was too sexy to be alone with. She would want him and they’d just met. “Well. I’m going to turn in early. Watch TV until I fall asleep. Or maybe the TV will watch me,” she joked. “Yeah. Me too. You free for breakfast in the morning?” he asked. “Yes. I would love that.”

  Bella walked into her suite and said bye as she slowly shut the door. She stood there. She wanted to open the door and invite him in. But her willpower was strong. He would have to wait to be with her, even though he turned her on. She had been intimate on the first day before. A relationship that ended up lasting five years. She wasn’t totally against such passionate encounters, if the mood was right. But she wanted to matter to him. She figured he’d had a lot of first night affairs. And she wondered if they ever lasted past the initial lust.

  The next few days were spent seeing every corner of Las Vegas. Niles eventually told her about his condo not far from the strip. They attended a show each evening and always ended their date with dinner and a feature show. Noah texted and called Niles to keep up with the progress. And Noah was less than forthcoming with his attachment to her. He told Noah he was mostly talking over the phone with her and that she hadn’t a clue anything had changed. The truth was Niles had fallen for her. He was making plans to see her frequently. What started out as a favor had quickly turned into something real and tangible. Deep down, he hoped Noah would relinquish his desires. But Noah continued to show interest. He was still dealing with Gemma and two weeks had passed but he still called about Bella every day to get updates.

  Hiding his wealth was becoming difficult. His condo was too fancy to claim it was just a standard, run of the mill, place to stay. He finally admitted to her that he did ok financially, but never told her his worth. She believed he was a hard-working financial advisor and that his income was better than average. Just about everything he did and owned were on the higher end of the spectrum. But he claimed middle to upper class status. And so, she believed he was just an ordinary man of ordinary means with a bit of flare for fine clothing. She had no reason not to believe in him. He seemed quite open. There was a vulnerable quality about him. She had no reason to question him. No reason to doubt anything he said.

  “One more day. You leave tomorrow,” he said, his demeanor changing as he clarified her flight out the next morning. Bella sat across from him at Spago’s. She took a sip of her iced tea and shook her head. Her plane was leaving. But she wanted more time. She didn’t want to leave. But she also didn’t want him to spend any more money trying to keep her in Vegas. She still had enough left over. And she instantly had an idea.

  “Why don’t I stay a little longer. I can change flights. Change it to one that leaves another day. Um…if you want. I mean… I’d rather be here with you,” she said, hoping he wanted her to stay. He lit up with excitement. He hoped she would suggest staying. He wasn’t ready to go. He still had two more days. Dave and Jason had flown back early. Steven and Pete were not ready to leave. Noah was generous with them. They had it made. They were still partying and wasn’t ready for it to end. Pete had lived in Las Vegas briefly. He had family there. He knew the city well. He and Steven were visiting some of his family and having cook outs over their house. They were prepared to stay a few more days.

  “Yes. I want you to stay. But with me in my suite. Get your things. Stay until next week. I’ll get you another ticket. You live in Manhattan, right?” he said. Bella blushed. He was direct. He had a way of making her blush like a teenager in high school. “Yes. Manhattan. Ok. I’ll stay with you.”

  Bella laid next to Niles. He held her close. He was a gentleman. Spooning was as far as he tried to go, but Bella wanted to go further. She was still calling him Noah, completely unaware that they had switched roles. He responded to the name. But every time she called him Noah, it did something to him. He was ready to tell her who he was. That it was his twin who had introduced himself that first day. But Niles was becoming insecure for the first time in his life. He wondered what she would do. And then decided against it. It wasn’t time. They were still too new. But he knew one thing. If Noah failed to get rid of Gemma and left Bella behind, he could never have her. He hoped Gemma stayed.

  T

  heir chemistry was undeniable. He was an awesome man. And she wondered if he was an even more awesome lover. She didn’t believe she would get so lucky. There was no way he was. That would make him the total package. No one was that perfect. But she wasn’t sure. He seemed to be atypical. Too good to be true.

  “Go to sleep,” he said, which startled Bella. She thought he was asleep. “I am,” she said, in a low tone. “What’s wrong?” he asked, as he rubbed her back. Bella was in a fetal position as he laid behind her. She could feel his manhood react. She closed her eyes. She swallowed hard. This wasn’t what a good girl did. She couldn’t desire him. They were still new. They were still getting to know each other. But they had covered a lot of ground. Spending 24 hours each day, with countless hours of talks into the wee hours in the morning, had them comfortable.

  Noah moved closer. His rock-hard penis now pressed against her derriere. His breathing increased slightly. Bella looked back at him then turned away. Niles hand moved slowly down her back to her
waist. He took a deep breath. Bella swallowed again. She wanted him to go further. Touch her below the waist. Reach around her and touch her there. She could feel his breath on her. “I want you so bad,” he said.

  Bella opened her eyes. She reached behind her. She touched him. His erect penis firmly in her hand. She didn’t bother to take it out. She held him through the loose pajama’s he had on. He opened his eyes. He wanted her. He wanted her right then. But he had to be sure. He didn’t want to be aggressive. He was playing for keeps and he feared turning her off. He could be aggressive. But he wanted to take his time with her. She was delicate. Vulnerable. And he had been a hero to her. He didn’t want sex as a thank you for the money he gave her in the envelope. He wanted Bella. Her heart. Her mind. And her body.

  He wondered if she just wanted to touch. Some women were into that. Sex without sex. And he knew some women liked to check the package. To see if their future partner was well-endowed. He was. He had no worries. But he wandered if she wanted him. He continued to rub his fingers lightly across her back and she took him in her hand and began to slowly stroke him. And in that moment, he knew she wanted him. He was now free to proceed.

  His light moans turned Bella on. She began stroking him more vigorously. He placed his mouth on her back and began sucking her skin. The hot air from his mouth turned her on even more. Bella began to moan. She continued moving her hand up and down his shaft. She still had him through his pajama pants. She wanted to feel his skin. She turned around. They could see each other under the lights of the water fountain outside their window.

  Niles stroked the side of her face. She had seduced him and won his heart and nothing had happened yet. He wanted her to go back home with him. He wasn’t ready to end what they had. Not even in three days. She would need to return home at some point. And he couldn’t deal with the separation. His mind raced. What if she returned home and forgot about him. What if she got involved with someone else. Or maybe lost interest. He had to have her. She was the one.

  “Come to New York City with me,” he said. Bella stared into his eyes. The moment was intense. She didn’t want to leave. They were on the same page. “Oh Noah. I want to be with you. I do. But I have to go back home. I own a boutique. I have to check on it. Retrieve my packages from the store next door. Open it up for business. Its new. I have to be there or it won’t survive. But I want to be with you,” she said. He kissed her passionately. All she needed was to tell him she felt the same. Bella sighed. She felt his emotions. She could see he was serious.

  Bella paused. She stopped stroking him. The conversation was serious. What was he asking? She couldn’t up and move and she had a life to get to. But if he was asking her to be with him and change her life for him, she wanted to take the chance. It would be the craziest thing she’d ever done. There would be objections from family and friends. But Bella saw herself with Noah. He was the one. And she was ready to be with him as much as possible. What they had started in Vegas was the tip of the iceberg. She had not tired of him. She needed more.

  “I will go home and take care of some things. And I will join you in New York if that’s what you want,” she said. “No. I don’t want to part. Not yet. I’ll go with you. Help you. Be there for you. And at some point, we’ll go to New York,” he said. Bella’s eyes opened wide. She was surprised. She was happy. It felt right. He was the one. “Alright,” she blushed, as she kissed him fervently. Bella continued to look deeply into his eyes. She had an incredible feeling. She was glad he would come with her. She was sure she would miss him while she took care of her business. “I have something to tell you,” she confessed. “You do. What,” he said, smiling and looking at her mouth. Bella blushed again. “This was meant. You and me. I felt it before I came here. I felt something was waiting for me. I didn’t know what it was. I felt my life would be changed during this trip. I told Dani. I see now what that change was. It’s you. I was supposed to meet you. You’re the one,” she said.

  She held him tight as he rolled on top of her and dove his tongue into her mouth. Bella had on panties and his tee shirt. She gently touched his bare chest. He was sexy. His body was amazing. “Oh Noah,” she moaned, as he pulled her panties to the side. Bella squirmed in anticipation. He looked deep into her eyes. His gaze never waned. “You’re mine. I will love you with all my heart. Never forget that. Anything you need. You ask. Do you understand me Bella?” he said, his voice serious. She smiled. He was already everything she needed. “Yes.”

  He kissed her passionately and held her panties to the side as he entered her. Bella jumped. She let out a loud moan. He took his time. Bella hadn’t had sex in months. Niles was huge and she jumped every time he advanced further. “You want me to stop,” he said in her ear. “No,” she said in a wispy voice. He was better than good. He was awesome. His slow yet methodical moves had her ready to scratch the walls. Niles stopped once he was completely inside her. He relished the moment. She felt like a warm cloth wrapped tight.

  He kissed her slowly then began pounding her fiercely. Bella’s mouth opened as she tried taking him. The feeling was unbelievable. Bella’s eyes teared up. His touch. His words. The moment, were all encompassing. And she could hardly contain herself. There was nothing to do but moan and cry. Her tears were tears of happiness. He could feel her pull and slowed his movements. “No. Give me you,” she said. She wanted him to make love to her the way he liked to make love. If it became too much, she would be more aggressive in telling him it hurt. But for the moment, it was a pain-pleasure that was sensational.

  He slowed then stopped and began kissing and lightly sucking her lips. He stared into her eyes. He was overwhelmed with his feelings. He had fallen in love before they even made love and now that he was inside her, his fate was sealed. But Bella was not his. He was not supposed to indulge himself with her. Noah specifically asked him to charm and seduce without bedding her. And he had failed miserably. He had just begun. He planned on making love to her multiple times throughout the night.

  Niles entered her again and picked up the pace once he was completely inside her. Bella moaned and arched her back slightly. She opened her legs wider. She wanted all of him. He increased his speed and cupped her ass as he went deep. Bella held him as he planted his face in her neck. He kissed her neck, slowly, at first, then sucked with an intense pressure as he continued pounding inside her. Bella moaned loudly. He was intense. His penis filled her up completely. She opened her mouth slightly, as she felt herself cumming. Niles could tell she was. He felt a warm sensation as he continued. “Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh,” he grunted, as Bella matched him with passion and desire. He closed his eyes. Her tight warm vagina had him in a nice firm grip. He was totally under her spell. Niles knew he was in trouble. Bella was everything he ever wanted and the addition of the best sex he experienced, did not help.

  “Damn Bella…” he said, as he tried to control his heart. She was Noah’s girl. Something he tried telling himself over and over. But the moment was his. Noah couldn’t take that away. He still hoped Noah patched things up with Gemma. Or at least was unsuccessful in getting away from her. “You’re taking my last name. Your name is Bella Langston. You hear me,” he said in her ear, as he prepared to cum inside her. It was a rare moment for him. He usually wore condoms. But this was his first love. First real bond.

  Bella smiled at the thought. Intense passions had her in its grasps. She let out a series of moans. The lights from the water show put a romantic ambiance on their incredible evening. “You have people calling me that already. Since the first day we met,” she said. Niles looked at her. His strokes still powerful. He sucked her neck. Then looked in her eyes again. Bella was emotional. She wondered why that was. Why he called her Mrs. Langston and didn’t even know her.

  “Tell me.. Why did you have people calling me Mrs. Langston that the first day?” She wanted to hear him say it. That he knew it immediately. That he knew it before she did. That she was under stress, and didn’t feel a connection had been made almost i
nstantly. He slowed then stopped. Still inside her. Bella closed her eyes. His penis was throbbing. It felt sensational. She opened her eyes and looked deeply into his. He rubbed her face. His answer to her question, he thought, was obvious. “Because you are. You will be,” he replied, never taking his eyes off of her. Bella got emotional. “Yes. I am. And yes, I will.”

  Niles awoke in the middle of the night. He felt Bella’s side of the bed then jolted up. She was gone. He panicked. “Shit,” he said, as he jumped up and ran out of the room. Bella looked back at him then looked out the window. She appeared to be in deep thought. Niles approached her slowly. His breathing calmed as he saw she was not gone. She was half dressed. She had her bra on and the skirt she had on earlier that day. Niles looked her up and down. He approached from behind and stood close to her. He smelled her. He closed his eyes. He hoped she wasn’t leaving. And he prayed she wasn’t ending their night.

  “What wrong?” he asked. Bella wiped her eyes and shook her head. “I don’t know. I’m afraid. I never felt this way about anybody so fast. We hardly know one another. It’s only been a few weeks. I can’t be this intense with someone I just met,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye. Niles held her from behind and after a few seconds turned her around to face him. He held her face. He moved her hair out of his way. He wiped a single tear as it rolled down her cheek. Bella looked in his eyes. It was dark but the lights from outside had their faces illuminated. Niles stared intensely at her. He didn’t say a word. He didn’t have to. Bella could see his pain. And after a brief, and highly intense moment, he spoke.

  “Listen. I know you’re scared. So am I. But I love you and I know you love me. We can’t help how fast it happened. That doesn’t make it any less real. There’s something I have to tell you. I can’t tell you now. It’s too early. Just know that I love you. And if you leave now, you’ll be turning your back on us. Don’t be afraid Bella. You told me this was meant. That you felt something was waiting for you here. It was me. I’m here. I can’t lose you. I waited my whole life for you. I’ve searched for this feeling. I wasn’t sure what it would feel like and if I would even recognize it. All I knew was it was something I was sure I wouldn’t want to live without. And I finally found you,” he said. Bella touched his face. She was no longer afraid. He said everything she needed to hear. “Oh Noah,” she said, as she embraced him.
