“Excuse me, I didn’t mean to startle you, Ms. Hastings” He held his hand up as if to excuse himself for barging in. “I was looking for Mr. Williams but apparently he is not in this evening.” He carried the same deep Hispanic accent as the man who had been in the office with Trent before.
“Uh, no Trent left for a business meeting.” She looked puzzled. She had never met this man before in her life. How did he know her name? “I’m sorry, who are you?”
“Forgive me for being rude, I am Mr. Hernandez.” He extended his hand to her. She studied it carefully before extending hers to him. “Mr. Williams has explained that the two of you are particularly close aside from your working relationship. Please tell me who might he be meeting with tonight? I didn’t realize that Mr. Williams had any other associates aside from myself.”
“Oh, no Trent and I aren’t in a relationship.” She took her hand back and shook her head. Where on earth would he have gotten that idea? Why is Trent telling people they were together? Why did he think he knew so much about her? The questions began piling up in her head. She didn’t know this guy from a homeless man off the side of the road.
“No need to explain anything to me, I pass no judgment on how he runs the business. I can assure you I won’t report it back to HR.” He gave her a sideways grin as he stepped closer to the desk.
She felt the sudden urge to get out of there. She wasn’t sure what this man was here for, but she could tell that it wasn’t anything that she wanted to be involved in.
“Listen, Mr. Hernandez, I really have no idea why you’re here. I also have no idea where Trent is or who he is meeting. So I should just be on my way.” She made a step towards the door.
“By all means, I understand you have a very important job to do. However I would like for you to pass along some information for me, I want my money. And I don’t like having to wait.” His tone suddenly turned very serious.
“Listen, I have about twenty dollars in my wallet. If that will cover it than I will go get it right now. If not, then I think you’re talking to the wrong person.” She edged her way a little closer to the exit at the side of the room.
“You’re very funny, Ms. Hastings. I would hate to have to break that funny bone of yours because of your boyfriend’s misjudgment in my patience.” He reached towards her and she flinched back. He recoiled his hand, “Please pass the message on to him, and let him know that I will be back, soon.” With that he turned and headed towards the door.
An eerie silence transcended throughout the office. It was so quite her ears were ringing. She needed to get out of here. She didn’t give a damn if she had to wait outside for Ryan she was not going to stay in this building any longer tonight. She found herself very jumpy as she made her way out of the office and down the hallway, checking over her shoulder every few steps. The feeling that someone was going to jump out from behind a door caused her to almost run. Relief flooded through her body as she made her way out of the door and down towards the bar counter. She nudged her way through the crowd as she found Judy standing just towards the end of the bar.
“Hey, if you girls are ok for tonight, I think I am going to head out.” Abbi looked at Judy to see any hint of an untruthful answer.
“No, we are good girl. Ashley is actually in better spirits. She found some man to tweak her nipples later so maybe she will be over her pissy mood.” Judy chuckled. “How are you getting home?”
Abbi’s cheeks blushed “Ryan’s coming to pick me up. We are actually going back to his house tonight.” She couldn’t help the beaming smile on her face.
“What? You go girl!” Judy gave Abbi a high five.
“Yeah, yeah. We will see. Hey do you know where Trent went off to tonight? There was some guy upstairs looking for him.”
“No, he just said that he had a meeting with an associate. I assumed it was another bar owner, since I don’t know what kind of associate meets up with someone at this time of the night. Knowing him, he just needed a night off to go unwind.”
Abbi could tell that Judy knew as much as she did about what was going on, so she felt no need in filling her into the conversation she had just had with the unpleasant man upstairs. The uneasiness from a few minutes ago began to pass from her system. She knew that the next time she saw Trent that she would lay into his ass and give him the third degree, but until then she wouldn’t bring it back up. She grabbed her bag from under the counter, after telling the girl’s goodnight she made her way through the club towards the front door. The adrenaline from the earlier conversation had now worn off and she was dead tired. Just as she stepped outside into the crisp night air she saw Ryan’s familiar black 4Runner pull up along the curb. She made her way over to the car as he came around opening the door for her.
“Well hello there beautiful. Your chariot awaits.” He grinned as he helped her up into the truck. She laid back against the seat as he made his way back inside the car. “Seatbelt, I want to keep you in one piece if for some reason we got into an accident.” He leaned across her body pulling her seatbelt down and fastening it for her.
She smiled. It was adorable how protective he was over her.
“You look completely exhausted, let’s get you home.” He planted a quick peck on her lips before turning back to steer the truck out towards traffic, and heading in the direction of his house.

“Babe, we are here.” He gently shook Abbi’s arm in an attempt to wake her. “Come on, you gotta wake up beautiful. Or else I am going to carry you inside.”
“What, huh? Oh, are we here?” Abbi’s voice sounded slightly confused.
“Yes, welcome to my humble abode.” He smiled over at her sleepy face.
He watched her as she took in the front of the large white Mediterranean style three story home. He had fallen in love with the homey feel of the sandstone and wrought iron that twisted like ivy up the stair well and along the front deck. The small front yard boasted a mixture of tropical vegetation that complimented the backyard and flower beds that ran along each side of the driveway. Large red and brown cobblestone took up the remaining front area and wound down towards the wrought iron entry gate. He saw her eyes get bigger as she leaned forwards enabling her to see all the way to the top floor.
“Holy hell, how many people live here?” She glanced over at Ryan.
“Just myself. Oh and Trish, she stays here permanently, the other staff only stay on a temporary basis when she is gone.” He was beginning to feel slightly embarrassed at the enormous showing of his wealth standing in front of him. He could only hope that she would fall in love with its beauty as much as he had. “Come on, let’s get you inside.”
He exited the truck and made it to her door before she could open it herself. Helping Abbi out of the truck he ushered her towards the stairs winding up to the large Spanish style wooden door. His heart pounded in his chest as they got closer to the house, this would be the first time that she had been at his house. This would also be the first time that he had her in his bed, but he was damn sure that she wouldn’t be anywhere else from this point forward. Unlocking the front door he held it closed for added anticipation. After a scolding look from Abbi he swung the door open and led her into the foyer.
“Ryan, your house is beautiful.” He could hear the slight gasp come from her mouth.
“Thank you, I fell in love with it because it actually felt like a home.” For the first time in a long time he took a second to look and admire its beauty as well. The stairs to their left led up to the second and third floors. And from the foyer you would just see into the great room across the hall. The beautiful white and silver marbled floor flowed throughout the first floor reflecting the lights and shadows spilling in from all of the windows.
“Can you give me a tour?” She looked at him in excitement.
“I would love to, how about in the morning? We can have breakfast on the terrace before I head to work.”
“That would be amazing.” She grinned up at him.
“For now, I would like to get you upstairs and into some of those sexy pajamas you like to wear.” He reached down scooping her up over his shoulder.
Abbi let out a squeal as he made his way up the flights of stairs towards the third floor. He slapped her playfully across her butt as he made his way up.
“You call your t-shirts and sweat pants sexy pajamas? Easy to please I see!”
“Shh, you are gonna wake the neighborhood.”
“Put me down, I can walk you know.” Abbi giggled as she bounced along on his shoulder.
“No chance.” He smacked her again.
As he made his way to the third floor he could feel her hands start to travel, first from his shoulders down his back, and then down to his ass, her hands slowly sliding into his back pockets in exploration. Apparently someone was trying to play dirty. He made it into his room, flipping the small lamp on that sat in the corner of the enormous bedroom with his elbow, splashing dim light throughout the room. He stood in front of the large cedar four poster bed and carefully plopped her down as she squirmed and laughed. He placed his hands on his hips, leaning over as he took dramatic deep breaths from the exertion of climbing up three flights of stairs.
“Don’t tell me you’re too pooped to party.” She chuckled up at him.
“Someone isn’t playing fair.” He grinned down at her.
“If you thought that wasn’t fair then don’t let me be the banker in Monopoly!”
She was so beautiful, her hair spread out onto the white sheets, with a smile on her face that made one dimple form on her right cheek. He carefully leaned down and positioned himself on top of her. He felt her hands slide underneath the bottom of his shirt as they made their way up his abdomen. Her fingers gently sliding up to his chest, her touch was fuel to his fire. Every fiber of his being had been waiting for this moment. When he could touch her, claim her as his own. The electricity shooting through his body as her hands traveled up his torso drove him crazy. He leaned down and claimed her mouth first, sucking at her bottom lip as his tongue slid into hers. Her lips were so soft against his. Slowly he planted kisses down her neck to the base of her collar bone. He could feel her breathing increase as his hips slowly grinded against hers.
“Abbi, I am going to make love to you tonight.” He breathed out against her neck.
“Please Ryan.” It was more of a plea than a statement. He could hear the need and longing in her raspy voice.
He leaned up and ripped his shirt off over his head, throwing it onto the floor. He wanted to feel her against him, her skin, her hands, and the exploration of her fingers. He could feel his length growing, pressing against his boxers. He positioned himself back on top of her again, this time pulling her up into the middle of the bed. He made his way down to the bottom of her shirt, slowly pulling the fabric up over her breasts, kissing a trail up her body as his hand slid into the lace of her bra. He could feel her body go rigid as he took her nipple between his fingers, pulling and rubbing it as he slowly pulled the other side down. Exposing her beautiful tear dropped mounds. She squirmed beneath him as he took her other nipple into his mouth. His teeth just slightly closing around its peak as he slowly sucked it into his mouth.
He reached his hand behind her back as she arched herself off the bed. Slowly taking the clasp of her bra into his hand and releasing the fabric, sliding it off of her body, and tossing it onto the floor.
“Please, Ryan. I need you.” Her voice was raspy and urgent.
“Baby, I am already at the point of exploding just from your touch. Let me take care of you first ok because I don’t know how long I am going to last.”
He sat up onto the bed, just inside of her legs, slowly bringing one up to his lips, kissing her from her thigh up to her ankle as he slid her sneaker off and then her sock, repeating the same to the other leg. Her eyes were on fire as she watched his every move. He hitched his fingers into the sides of her shorts slowly pulling them down along with her panties. Every inch of him was about to burst from his pants as he took in her beautiful naked body. Her sex closely shaven as two black wing tattoos scrolled up along her pants line.
He slowed, just taking in the sight of her. How God had made such a beautiful creature was beyond him. He could see the warmth blooming into her cheeks as she shyly used her hands to try and cover her body. He grabbed her hands and moved them back out to her sides.
“Baby, you are absolutely beautiful. Please don’t ever try to hide from me.”
“Ok.” He could see the blush spread across her body, before she relaxed beneath him.
He leaned back into her, kissing a trail from her belly button down to her thigh as his hands slowly spread her legs to the sides. He laid on his stomach with her sex spread in front of him. He grabbed her hips and pulled hard bringing her towards his mouth. His tongue sliding along the skin covering her sex as his hand slid her apart allowing his tongue to circle her clit. He watched as her body arched up under his touch. He licked and sucked her clit, teasing every inch of her to the edge of pleasure then stopping. Each time her body would lift from the bed as moans of pleasure escaped her lips and then go crashing back down breathing heavily as her hands traveled along her breasts playing and pulling on her nipples.
He fingered her entrance, slowly sliding one finger into her. She was so tight and she was so damn wet. He found her clit again as her hands came down onto the top of his hair, tugging against the short strands as he worked his tongue and finger at the same time. He could feel her body shaking as she sat straight up. Slowly her sex tightening around his finger as the waves racked through her body. He could feel her releasing; hear her releasing, as she took gasps of breath. As her body settled back down onto the bed, he kissed up her thigh as he pulled himself up, standing just at the edge of the bed. He used his feet to remove his shoes and then pulled off his socks before reaching down to unbutton his pants. The whole time staring down at Abbi’s body sprawled out onto his bed.
“How about you let me do that.” She smiled up at him.
“By all means.” He held his arms out to the sides.
She sat up kneeling on the edge of the bed as her brown hair hung down from her shoulders spilling onto her naked breast. He could feel his cock twitching at the thought of being inside of her. Her fingers worked the button on his pants until it was free and then his zipper. She took his pants down first and then his boxers freeing his length. Her eyes widened as she looked up at him. For the first time since he had laid her in his bed, he caught a glimpse of nervousness in her eye. He ran his hands through her hair gathering it behind her head as he leaned down towards her.
“Baby, we will go slowly I promise. I won’t hurt you.”
“I know, you’re just. Uh. Huge.” Her eyes fluttered up to him as her cheeks flamed.
“Are you sure you want to do this, we can wait as long as you need to.”
She brought her body up against his, her knees sitting just at the edge of the bed. She didn’t need to speak. She was giving him her answer in another way. Her lips starting at his chest and she kissed her way down his stomach. Kissing each muscles of his abs as she made her way down to his waistline, taking her freehand and grasping his erection. He almost came right then. In an effort to try and make it last as long as he could he cupped her head and laid her back onto the bed. Stepping over to the table that sat just to the side of the bed and opening the drawer. He grabbed a small packet and ripped it open rolling the condom on, as he came back over to the edge of the bed. He grabbed her hips and pulled her towards him, her sex sitting just at the edge of the bed. He spread her legs apart propping her heels up onto the edge of the bed.
He could see her wetness glistening from the light being emitted from the small lamp on the opposite side of the room. He took the tip of his cock and slowly guided into her stopping just as she began to take him in. Her body tensing as he spread her apart with his length. He could feel the sensation coming from the base of his shaft. This was not going to
last long. She was so tight around him. He eased his way into her, as her arms flew up to his biceps grasping him.
“Are you ok baby?” He stopped just inside of her entrance.
“Yes, please don’t stop.” She begged.
He pushed his way into her, filling her with every inch of himself. She moaned out as he began easing his way back out. Over and over he slowly entered into her filling her up and then pulling back, his head just inside of her. He could feel her body relaxing and he quickened his pace, leaning down kissing her lips as he thrust over and over into her. His cock twitching as he could feel his cum filling inside of him. Her hands grasping at his back as her nails dug into him. He couldn’t hold back any longer. He needed release.
“Are you close baby?” He breathed before kissing her. “How can I make you come?”
“I’m so close baby. Go harder. Let me feel every inch of you.” His heart burst with desire as the endearment left her lips. She hadn’t called him that before and he liked it.
He wrapped his arms up and around hers and cupped her shoulders as he thrust into her. A growl escaped his lips as he felt the sensation flow up his cock and ripple throughout his body. A gasp fleeing from her mouth as her body shook uncontrollably underneath him. He continued to thrust into her until every ounce of fluid had been pumped out of him. For a moment he laid there, he could feel her body shaking underneath him as her hands skimmed across his back. Slowly he sat up, easing his way out of her. He smiled down at her as she laid sated in the middle of the bed. Her eyes closed and a slight grin forming on her face.
“Well, Mr. Dixon. I hadn’t expected that when I agreed to have a sleepover.” She peeked up at him through one eye.
“Mmm, well we might just have to have sleepovers more often then.” He reached down and pulled the condom from his length dropping it into the waste basket just beside the bed. “I am going to go clean up, would you care to join me?” He leaned down kissing her gently on her lips, swollen from overuse.
