Single Dad’s Spring Break

by Rye Hart

  She turned and glanced over her shoulder, and I met her eyes as I sat up and stretched.

  “We’ll talk about this later, Kayla. I need to go. He’s awake.”

  The light from her phone screen went off, and I realized that the room was too dimly lit. I reached over to turn on a lamp, but she shook her head.

  “The power is out. Has been for a few hours now.”

  “You’re welcome to stay. I don’t want you out in this weather.”

  “Thanks, I wouldn’t want to be out in it. I think your drive is flooded anyway.”

  “I’m sure it is, and the road in. It always floods, which means no one can get in or out.” I walked to the bar and poured myself another drink.

  “Well, Rick and Kayla are staying at his house tonight. She called to check on us.”

  “I hoped you told her that we’re fine.” I took the drink back to the sofa and lay back as she lowered herself into the chair nearest the window. Her silhouette was all I could see, but now and then the lightning lit her features.

  She turned, and the lightning revealed a hard glare. “I didn’t tell her what happened, but are we fine?”

  “I’m sure we will be. You’ll go back to your life soon and so will I, and then we can pretend we never met if you like.” I thought about how I’d tried to knock her up, and hoped that I hadn’t succeeded. As much as I wanted it to be her, that I knew she’d be perfect, she didn’t want me. That realization hit me harder than I’d expected.

  She opened her mouth to say something but a loud crack of thunder and a crash from outside made her jump. She moved away from the window and came to stand near me as I rose from the couch.

  She absently grabbed my arm. “What was that?”

  “I think the wind knocked over one of my planters. I’ll go check it out.” I started for the big French doors in my dining room where I could access my patio, but she held me so tight I couldn’t move without taking her with me.

  “Don’t go.” She was shaking like a leaf, and her eyes were pleading.

  “I’ll be fine.” I pulled away and went to the door where I could already see that there was a branch that had busted a large planter on my patio, but when I opened the door, I realized that a tree had blown down entirely. Thankfully it hadn’t hit the house, but it was a tree my mother had planted.

  “Are you going out there?” I felt another tug on my arm, and I pulled away.

  “You don’t have to act concerned, Bella, but no, a tree fell, I’ll hardly be able to do anything with it.”

  “I am concerned. Aren’t we in tornado country? Are we going to be safe?” Lightning lit the room, and the thunder crackled causing her to stand closer.

  I put my arms around her and pulled her close. “There’s a root cellar from when this house was built; it’s in a small room off the kitchen. If things get ugly, we’ll go down there. You’ll be fine.”

  “I’m sorry about earlier,” she suddenly said.

  I looked into her eyes, and saw that she meant it. “I’m sorry too, but only for not minding my own business. I meant what I said, Bella. I’d never treat you that way.”

  CHAPTER ELEVEN - BELLA

  I guess I’d gone and done it. I’d proven to Reed, however slightly, that I did care about him. I didn’t want him to go out into the storm and get knocked in the head by something blowing around or struck by lightning. It had somehow led me back in his arms, and though it was better than arguing, it hadn’t been my intention.

  We took a little time to go into the kitchen and find some food, opting to leave the fridge shut not knowing how long the power would be out. After we’d split a small jar of chunky peanut butter and three sleeves of crackers, and shared more information about our lives than necessary, I headed up to my room. Reed stayed behind to make sure the house was locked up since his security system was down.

  I pulled back the covers of the huge four-post bed and snuggled down against my pillow hoping the storm would be gone by morning.

  I lay there thinking about Reed and how he’d told off Gavin, and while I hated that he’d made Gavin think I had cheated, it was nice to have someone stick up for me. Gavin had never done that. My lids were getting heavy when I heard a knock at the door.

  Reed opened the door wide enough to stick his head in. “Bella? Are you asleep?” His voice was so soft that if I had been sleeping, he wouldn’t have woken me up.

  I lifted my head. “Is everything okay?” I sat up wondering if he was going to suggest going down into the cellar, but instead, he came in and sat at the foot of my bed.

  “It’s fine. I wanted to see if you’d like some company.”

  The very words from his mouth, the suggestion, and knowing that when he said company, he didn’t mean company, sent a delightful ache to my core. It was almost embarrassing how much he affected me.

  “Sure. Would you like to stay in here?” I thought he might prefer his bed, but as I asked he was already crawling his way across mine wearing nothing but his boxer briefs. He pulled back the covers and settled down beside me, tucking me beneath his arm. I faced him, hitching one leg across his hip and feeling the hard cock that rested against his tight tummy. It was too easy to reach over and stroke him, and even though I wasn’t sure I should be instigating sex after what had happened between us over the past six hours, I couldn’t help myself.

  He rocked his hips forward as I ran my hand up his length and then his head turned and instinctively I found his mouth. He pulled me across him, his thick cock pressing hard into my center.

  I had put on an oversized sleep T-shirt and my favorite lace panties, which were now wet as we ground against one another.

  I sat up and straddled him, and he hooked his arms up under my ass and pulled me forward. I let him guide me as I felt him slip down and soon I was straddling his face, and he was working his mouth against my damp lace, sucking the wet spot that had been there. His finger came up and pulled the side of my panties over, and he dragged his tongue between my folds and slipped it inside me.

  I moaned as I threw my head back and pinched my tight nipples. I was going to come all over his face. He slid one finger deep in my slit, and he pushed another against my little star. The pressure made me want him inside me so badly that I moaned and my release built up in my core. As his finger slipped inside my ass, pushing past my tight rim, I came. He gripped my waist and pulled me down hard on his mouth, moaning as he slurped my pussy, which quaked and dripped.

  “Fuck,” he mumbled against me, and then he lifted me up and put me on my back. He buried his face back in against me and then worked two fingers into my pussy. He pumped his arm, his fingers sliding in and out, stroking my walls and grazing against my G-spot. The waves of pleasure didn’t stop with that orgasm, and soon another was making me scream out.

  “I want to fuck you, Bella. Tell me you want that.” He pushed his fingers deeper as if showing me right where he wanted to be.

  “I do. Please, put it in me.” I needed him to fill me up and stretch my walls with his thick member. I loved the way it felt inside me, and he was the only person who could make me come so good. Sex with Gavin had been lackluster at best.

  He pulled his fingers free and centered himself, his bulbous head pressing hard against me before he nudged it in. The thick rim of his cock popped inside me, stroking against my tender spot and causing me to moan with pleasure.

  I could be as loud as I wanted with the only staff staying put inside their quarters through the storm and Kayla and Rick gone. Reed cupped my breasts and kissed my pebbled nipples, taking special care to give them each equal attention. He pulled away, and found my mouth and kissed me hard. He trailed his tongue down and around up my jawline and to my ear where his breath gave me chills as his cock pumped me steady. All of his mouth work tingled in my mound as he ground against it.

  I could feel that he was close to coming and I knew that I should ask him to pull out but I couldn’t. He felt so damn good inside me and a primal part of me
wanted him to fill me up. I was two days off my pill and knew it wasn’t safe, but I still couldn’t bring myself to stop him.

  Instead, I wrapped my legs tighter around his waist and pushed my heels into his muscular ass, forcing him even deeper. He groaned out loud and buried himself to the hilt inside me and it was the most intense pleasure I’d ever felt.

  “Oh God Bella, you are so fucking amazing,” he panted as he thrust.

  Before I could say anything in response, Reed threw his head back and roared loudly as he emptied himself deep inside me. The feeling of his cum filling me so much that it flowed back out of me with him still inside, caused me to clench and scream out as a powerful orgasm shook me.

  Reed collapsed on top of me and we stayed like that until our breathing slowed and our hearts stopped hammering in our ears. When he finally rolled away from me and I realized what had happened, I started to panic.

  He must have seen the look on my face, because he propped himself up on his elbow and looked down at me, concern in his eyes. “Bella are you ok?”

  I slowly shook my head. “We shouldn’t have done that. I should’ve made you pull out,” she said.

  “I thought you said you were on the pill?” he asked.

  “I was, but I didn’t bring it with me. It’s been two days. It wasn’t like I expected any of this to happen so I didn’t think I needed it.”

  I looked up at him and could have sworn that I saw something that looked like hope cross his face, but it was gone as quickly as it had come. What was that about?

  “Listen Bella,” he started. “I know you didn’t expect this, and neither did I, but is it really that awful? I mean, if I’m being honest, I want more with you.”

  I sat up and looked at him, the reminder of what we’d just done spilling down my leg. “More?” I asked. “I don’t know how that would even work, Reed. We live thousands of miles apart and have totally different lives. Plus, you know I just got out of an engagement. I’m not sure I’m ready for more.”

  The truth was, however, that my emotions were at war inside me. Part of me knew that it was way too soon to consider committing myself to anyone. Another part of me, though, felt that Reed was different, and wanted to know if we could be more. The confusion was almost too much to bear.

  CHAPTER TWELVE - REED

  Bella and I had talked for almost an hour after our last encounter and I could actually see her internal struggle. I felt she wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with her, and all I needed was a little time to convince her that I wasn’t Gavin. I’d tell her all about the inheritance and the stipulation as soon as possible, but first, I’d solidify our relationship. I didn’t have time to do things the other way around. Time was too precious, too valuable. If I hadn’t been certain I’d have not gambled with her, but I’d never lost a bet before, and I was betting on us.

  Or maybe I wouldn’t have to tell her anything at all. I realized now that I was starting to fall for this woman. What had started as a means to an end to get at my father’s money was turning into something else completely. Even if I wasn’t starting to have real feelings for her, I would have taken care of her and any baby anyway, but now I was starting to actually see a future here. I could see Bella with our child and us actually being happy. I could have the best of both worlds, and I was starting to think that I wanted just that.

  What the fuck was happening to me?

  She fell asleep in my arms and my gaze wandered down her body, nice and slowly, to her perfect breasts and down to her flat little tummy that I would make big and round with my child, and then below to the perfect little cleft. I loved that she kept it completely bare and my tongue and cock appreciated how slippery her little pussy was because of it.

  I wondered if she kept it that way for her last lover and decided to keep encouraging it. It was perfect. She was perfect. Everything was happening so fast, that it almost seemed like fate had intervened.

  I ran my hand through her soft hair to pull it away from her face, and then sometime after fell asleep.

  I woke in the morning with her gone from the bed. I got up and heard water trickling in the bathroom. The door was open, so I walked over and peeked inside. She was in the tub, with the water on and bubbles all around, her hair bundled up high with tiny tendrils hanging down. Her bright eyes widened even more as she saw me standing there.

  “Door was open.”

  “I’ve always wanted a claw foot tub. I figured I better enjoy it while I can, but the water keeps getting cold, and my bubbles are dying too quickly.”

  “You have to agitate the water.” I put my hand in and swished it around, creating a few subs.

  “If I keep doing that I’ll never relax.” She lay back and bent her knees. I leaned over for a kiss, and she met my eyes as if she had a lot on her mind. “I’m going to walk around and take some photographs of your yard today.”

  That meant that she wasn’t planning on running out of here like she had been yesterday. I was pleased.

  “It’s a mess with the storm and all, but make yourself at home. I’d like us to go out to the concert tonight. We’ve missed a few of the events, but this is supposed to be the biggest night.”

  “Sounds good. I’d like to spend a little time with Kayla if you don’t mind.” She gave me an apologetic look, but I reassured her with another kiss.

  “I’ll be downstairs if you need me. Take your time.” I dressed and headed out just in time for Rick and Kayla to show up. Kayla wasted no time running up to see Bella, and I wondered if they’d talk about what we’d all been up to and just how detailed they’d get. Rick walked the property with me as I assessed the damage and though it wasn’t too bad, I wondered why Bella would want to photograph it in this condition.

  “So, how’re things with you and Bella? Did you talk to her about the inheritance situation?”

  “No, I haven’t, I need a little time. I didn’t want to scare her off, but yeah, I think she’s one.”

  “You better work fast, my friend. Kayla said she’s just broken up with some asshole, and she’s scared you’re catching her on the rebound. You better make sure she’s solid before you get too involved. She even made me promise that if the two of you implode, that it won’t wreck our relationship.”

  “You didn’t tell Kayla about the will did you?” I didn’t need the two girls talking about things before I had a chance to explain.

  “Just that you had some money coming. I didn’t say anything about the clause. I wouldn’t. It’s not my place.”

  We spent the rest of the afternoon at the house with the girls, and they spent a lot of time walking the property and taking photographs, while Rick and I got the tree out front taken care of. Bella would only let me do it after she’d taken pictures and she’d even tried to slip a few of me into the mix, but then she was annoyed that I didn’t smile.

  At the concert, I felt like I was on a real date, especially when she stood close and held my hand. I hadn’t ever really had that with anyone I cared about and it felt kind of nice.

  We went for a late dinner after and then came back to the house, Rick and Kayla opting to use the same room as before.

  Bella had joined me in my room. “I got some good pictures today. I’ve got a whole new collection in mind.” She smiled brightly as she slipped off her clothes.

  “I’m glad that my home could be an inspiration.”

  “It’s the beautiful disaster, like the cancer photos of my mother. Something as beautiful as your house after the storm, I thought it would make a great story.”

  “You’re so creative and talented. It’s very sexy.” I stripped off my pants, letting them fall from my hips to a puddle at my feet, and moved toward the bed. Bella climbed across it and crawled her way over to me on all fours, and without any ado, she took my cock into her mouth and sucked it nice and slow.

  “Very creative,” I whispered. She giggled with a mouthful and then she pulled away.

  “It was right there in my
face; I had to give it a taste.” She sat up and shrugged, but I gripped my cock and held it out as an offering.

  “Don’t stop on my account.” She leaned over and continued, but then I picked her up and had her lay back against the bed with her legs spread wide, ready to rest on my shoulders.

  I pumped my cock a few times and centered it at her opening, still slick from her spit. “Do you have a condom?” She gave me an apologetic look, and even though I had a box of them inside my nightstand drawer, I shook my head.

  “No, I’m fresh out. I’ll be careful.”

  “It’s okay. Just pull out this time.” She gave me a wicked smile. “I want you to come on my tits.”

  I knew I was going to have to deceive her and for that, I felt like a piece of shit, but it wasn’t like I was going to keep it from her forever. I justified my actions by the fact that I was falling hard for her. “Okay. Are you ready for it?” I wagged my cock at her, and she nodded. I pressed it into her and slowly inched my way in until my balls were pressed hard against her ass. She’d not been able to take me as deep the first time, but now it was as if her pussy was made specifically to fit me. I slowly rocked in and out wondering how I she was going feel when I came inside her anyway.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN - BELLA

  I’d talked to Kayla about the sex with Reed and how he’d come in me twice already. She thought I might be okay, but warned me about risking it again. I wasn’t going to let it get in the way of our fun, but as long as agreed to pull out, I felt okay about it. If we really did decide to do this long-distance thing, I’d get my pills filled when I got home and then whenever Reed and I got together, I’d be all set.

  His cock felt amazing inside me, as if the two of us had been made to fit together. And his size made him perfect for stroking my G-spot. Every thrust with my hips tilted at the perfect angle had him hitting it, and I came twice before he lifted me up and brought me to the shower.
