“Yes but it’s going to be for a good cause,” Proctor said.
Daniel shook his head again and leaned back.
“I have to go Proctor,” he said.
“But we are not…” Proctor started before Daniel shook his head again.
“I can’t do this right now. Get Lena to call me back when you guys figure this out,” he said. He was just about to hang up when Proctor yelled.
“Wait, sir. Please,” he said.
“What, Proctor,” Daniel asked.
“You really do need to come down to St. Louis. That’s the only way I am sure we are going to manage this,” Proctor said.
“You have got to be kidding me, right?” Daniel asked.
“Unfortunately not, sir,” Proctor said. This was too much for Daniel. He hung up and threw his head back on the couch wondering how his vacation turned work trip turned vacation again had suddenly turned into another work trip. He was still relaxing when he heard his Skype call. He sighed when he saw that it was Proctor calling back.
“Proctor, I can’t do this right now,” he said when he picked up.
“Yes, but sir, I need to know what to tell to tell Lena,” Proctor said.
“Tell her she needs to take care of everything La Nacion de café,” Daniel said. “And by the way the home model. What was wrong with that?” he asked.
“It kind of looks like the Homemart version,” Proctor said.
“So we plagiarized a design and slapped our brand on it?” he asked.
“Sir, plagiarism only applies to written…” Proctor started but then shut up when he noticed the look Daniel was giving him. “We need to make it pop if we are going to make any money off it,” he concluded.
“Well, I am way over here and R&D is not my specialty,” he said.
“Yes sir but you still have to come over and take…” Proctor started before Daniel cut him off.
“Seriously Proctor. I hate to be a mean boss but if you keep talking your job will be on the line.”
“Okay. Talk to Lena. Got it. Bye Mr. Reese,” Proctor said before he hung up. Daniel took a long deep breath and ran his hand through his hair. He was just confused about everything. How was he supposed to tell Erica about this? They had just been talking about taking off to Belize a little earlier…around twenty minutes ago, actually. He sighed and closed his eyes in defeat. This was definitely not good.
Chapter 4
He had his eyes closed when Erica walked into the room. She leaned against the door frame looking at him for a long minute before she finally walked over to where he was. She planted a small kiss on his forehead making him open his eyes. He looked at her and smiled.
“Hey there, beautiful,” he said as she walked round the couch to where he was.
“Hey. Are you okay?”
“Well, to be honest, I’ve been better,” he said in a low voice. She sat on the edge of the couch and looked at him.
“Come here,” she said softly. He looked at her while resting his head on her lap and she slowly began to stroke his hair. “Do you want to talk about it?” she asked.
“Not really,” he said as he slipped an arm around her hips. She smiled and began to slowly massage his head. “Oh wow, that’s…that feels so good,” he said in a low voice.
“You still don’t want to talk about it?” she asked in a soft voice.
“Baby, talking about it is only going to upset you,” he said as he looked up at her. She ran her fingers through his hair, applying a little pressure making him moan in pleasure. “This is a bribe, isn’t it?” he asked in a soft voice.
“Well, it depends,” she said as she went on running her fingers through his thick mane. She ran her fingers down to the base of his neck and he groaned pleasurably.
“Stop it. You are going to drive me crazy,” he said in a whisper.
“I heard you talking to the guy at work. I know you have to go back home,” she said.
He turned his head to the side and looked up at her.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
“It’s okay,” she smiled as she went on running her fingers through his hair.
“I really don’t want to disappoint you or anything,” he said. She ran her index finger from his forehead to his lips.
“There is nothing that you could do that would ever disappoint me and that’s a promise,” she said in a low voice. She was trying to put on a brave face. She looked at him and forced out a smile. “You are a perfect man in every way.”
He reached up and touched her face softly. “No one has ever said that to me.”
“Really? I find that hard to believe,” she said in a soft voice. He brought his hand up and slipped a hand behind her neck and pulled her down. He raised his head and brushed her lips softly. The kiss slowly graduated from soft and sweet to long and hard making her moan into his mouth.
“Shouldn’t you be getting packed?” she asked softly when he pulled away. He got up from the couch and looked at her before he stretched his handout to her. She put her hand in his and he pulled her up.
“Shhh…I don’t want to talk about that right now,” he said.
“But it sounded urgent,” she said in a soft voice.
“It’s okay baby,” he said in a whisper as he cupped her face. He kissed her again, soundly and deeply making her flee from her consciousness. She closed her eyes and he kissed her over and over, deeper and more sensually. It was almost like he was opening a whole new chapter to her. He held her as he tasted her sweet lips, her tongue involuntarily slipping out, gliding over his. The dance in their mouths matched their swaying bodies. He slowly maneuvered them over to one wall. She looked at him as his eyes went up and down her body. It was like he was looking at her for the very first time. She felt her heart rate getting faster and faster as his eyes went up her legs and then stopped at her torso. He put his hands on her waist band and undid the button on her jean shorts before pulling them down. He knelt down in front of her and held each cheek in his hand. He caressed her thighs slowly and pressed his lips softly on her thigh. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall as she felt his lips slowly trailing down one of her legs and then up the other one. She looked down at him and sighed.
“Baby,” she moaned. Her body was tingling and her heart was pounding hard in her chest. She looked at him as he pulled down her panties. From where he was, he could get a whiff of her sex. It drove him wild. He wanted her so much but he also wanted to make her beg for it. He looked at her and put his mouth on her, sucking on her clit. She moaned and gasped as she felt his tongue running wildly on her already hard clit. She held his head against her as he licked her out and sucked on her. Without even realizing it, she was spreading her legs wider ready to receive whatever he had planned for her. She moaned and groaned and let him have her as he kneaded his fingers into her huge plum ass. She could feel herself getting feverish as she got closer and closer to her climax. “Daniel…” she moaned softly as she felt herself tightening up. He pulled away from her pussy and got on his feet. He stood in front of her and kissed her softly. She loved the fact that she could taste herself on his lips.
“Come with me,” he said in a soft voice. She looked at him and stepped out of her panties as he followed him to the bedroom. He looked at her and held her close to him. She was looking into his eyes as he pulled her shirt up. She raised her arms up over her head and he pulled the t-shirt off. She did not have a bra on that day and Daniel loved that fact because it made thing so much easier for him. A gasp escaped her lips when he filled his hand with each breast. She closed her eyes and parted her lips ever so slightly as he kneaded her softly. She was unable to deny him anything and her own need flared hot. Her hand found his head when he lowered himself and kissed her neck. She was moaning as her pussy got wetter. She slipped her hands under his t-shirt and pulled it off before she slowly caressed his muscular chest. Every time she feasted her eyes on his chest, it was like she was seeing him for the first time. Her hands slowly went d
own to his waist.
“Not fair. You are still dressed,” she said as she looked at him. He looked into her eyes and began unbuttoning his pants. He pulled the zipper down and looked at her. “Take it all off. Everything,” she whispered. A smile played on her lips as he looked at her. She couldn’t help but smile as he pushed his underwear off letting his cock practically spring out of his boxers. She looked at his cock and gasped.
The gentle moment had past. He pushed her onto the bed and kissed her deeply. She was moaning as she wrapped her legs around his waist. She was moaning and grinding her hips against his crotch, begging for him to take her but he was holding back. He kissed her neck and let his tongue run down to her shoulder. He suddenly pulled back and she loosened the grip she had around his waist with her legs. She reached for a condom from the top drawer of the night stand and handed it to him. He smiled and shook his head.
“You do it,” he said in a soft voice. She bit off the tip of the wrapper before she pulled out the rubber. Daniel was on top of her, his knees on either sides of her body. He watched her as she rolled the condom onto his cock. She looked up at him in anticipation and he suddenly turned her around making her gasp loudly. His hard cock was wedged against her butt and she found herself wishing his cock would just slip into her wetness.
“Damn it, Erica. You are so damn hot,” he whispered roughly as he kissed her shoulder. “Do you have any idea how crazy you drive me,” he asked as he swept her hair to one side and began kissing her neck. “You make me so damn hard.” His words were crashing into her, making her get even wetter. She could feel the hot fluid slipping out of her. There was something different with him today, she realized. He was rough and gruff and it was turning her on more than she thought possible. He wanted to kiss her and fuck her till kingdom come. Erica was loving the gruff in his voice. She was almost sure that he would just have to talk to make her climax. He took her lobe in his mouth and nibbled making her practically flood herself right there. She was breathing faster as she felt her breath getting hotter against the bedding.
“Do it, baby. Give it to me,” Erica found herself begging for his cock. His hands were everywhere, caressing her shoulder, her arms. He slipped a hand under her and cupped her breast. She should feel his hot breath in her hair and the hardness of his cock against her pussy. He was teasing her and it was driving her crazy. His tongue found the back of her ear at the same time he pushed a few inches of his cock into her. She gasped as he pushed more of himself into her. She moaned her disapproval when he pulled his cock out of her. “Baby please…shove it back in,” she begged.
“Are you sure?” he asked as the tip of his cock plated at her opening.
“Yes, baby. Please,” she begged again. She suddenly gasped when she felt all nine inches of his thick cock inside her. He exhaled loudly as he felt her tightness engulf her. She arched her back making him moan loudly when he felt himself get deeper inside her. He was forced to stop and catch his breath.
She laid flat and then arched her back again. She was driving him crazy and she knew it. She had him exactly where she wanted him and every nerve was on edge. She moaned and Daniel got even hornier as he began moving himself in and out of her. He did not even realize that he was going harder and faster into her. His pelvis was slamming into her ass making a smacking noise that turned him on all the more. She bit into the bedding to muffle her screams as he fucked her, hard. They were in their own infinite loop and Erica never wanted it to end. She held on for dear life as he pushed into her, harder and faster. Each stroke was longer than the last and each thrust was harder than the last. She could feel a storm building in her pussy but he never let her feel the results of the storm in her pussy. He suddenly pulled out and knelt in between her legs. She moaned when she felt his hands in her ass. She closed her eyes and he crouched in between her legs. He pushed her thighs wider and began caressing her pussy with his finger. Her toes were curled as she felt shivers through her body. He suddenly turned her around and pinned her down on the bed. She looked up at him and spread her legs for him.
“Good girl,” he said in a soft voice as he moved lower and lower on her body, avoiding taking her nipple in his mouth. She gasped loudly when he buried his head in between her legs and licked her out. Erica was moaning as she felt his tongue parting her folds. She was rocking her hips, grinding herself into his mouth. She was shivering and moaning as he licked her out with purpose. He was getting the entire length of his tongue inside her making her moan. She twisted her body up on the bed and he took her clit into his mouth, forcing a finger deep inside her.
“Yes baby…yes!” she cried out loudly, shaking and panting. He pulled back from her pussy and looked at her. Her chest was heaving as she quivered on the bed. She had never had anyone eat her out the way Daniel did. She could still feel his finger inside her. He was now fingering her hard, his thumb rubbing against her clit. It was almost too much for her. She cried out when she felt wild hot molten pouring out of her core. He went on fingering her over and over until she jerked up and he pulled his finger out of her. She looked at him moaning and panting. There was a smile on Daniel’s face as he pushed his cock into her once more. She moaned out loud and wrapped her legs around his waist again. This time, she was not going to let him out of there so easily. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and he began pumping into her. He was going harder and harder literally knocking the air out of her mouth. He stopped thrusting and looked down at her.
“You okay?” he asked.
“Yes. Don’t stop. Don’t you dare stop,” she said looking up at him. “Fuck me, Daniel,” she said looking at him. He began thrusting again, deeper and harder. With all the licking, sucking and fingering he had been giving her, it was not long before she felt herself climaxing long and hard. Her orgasm was longer than she had ever felt before and as wild as ever. Daniel was having a hard time keeping his cock inside her. She moaned and held him as he went on thrusting until his orgasm took over.
“Oh God, baby…Erica,” he moaned as he felt himself emptying into the condom that was the barrier between the two of them. She held him tightly as he shook on top of her. She could not put her finger on it but it felt like she had just made love to him for the last time and that made her sadder than anything she knew. She could feel her eyes welling up. He raised his head up and looked down at her. “Hey…hey…what’s going on? Did I hurt you?” he asked. She shook her head and brushed off her tears but it didn’t help. More tears rolled down to her temples. Daniel pulled his still hard cock out of her pussy. He laid next to her and held her close. “What is it? What’s going on?” he asked.
“I guess I’m just sad that you’re leaving,” she said in a soft voice. He held her tightly and kissed her softly.
“I will be back. It’s just for a couple of days. Four max,” he said as he looked at her. “I will come back to you,” he said in a soft voice.
“It’s just that there was something about today. It was so…final. Like it was the last time we will ever be together,” she said.
Daniel frowned and pulled away from her. He looked at her and smiled.
“When I told you that you were my best decision, I meant it. And there is no way that I am going to pass up spending time with you,” he said as he brushed off yet another tear. She looked at him and shrugged. “What, you don’t trust me?” he asked.
She forced out a smile and shook her head.
“I do but in my defense, I have only known you for a few weeks,” she said with a smile on her face.
“Ouch,” he said as looked at her.
“I’m sorry. I just don’t know how…” she never got a chance to finish her sentence. He kissed her softly and caressed her cheek.
“Hayes, if I ever let you get out of my life, I will shoot myself in the head and that is a promise,” he said. She didn’t know why but she smiled. She looked at him and shrugged. “Hey, seriously. I love you. And I am not letting you get away so easily,” he added in a soft voice.
“I love you too,” she said with a smile.
“You know what you are going to do? You are going to enjoy a few days in Athens, you know have some kind of personal time, maybe do some shopping or something and then I will see you in Belize? How does that sound?” he asked in a soft voice.
“A little sad but better than what I had in mind,” she said as she rest her head on his shoulder.
“We’ll be okay, baby. You’ll see,” he said before he planted a kiss on her forehead.
Chapter 5
When Daniel and Erica woke up the next day, Erica wanted to cry. She helped him out with his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed.
“So, this trip to…” she suddenly trailed off and laughed.
“What?” he asked as he looked at her. “What is so funny?”
“Well, I just realized that I have no idea where you live,” she said with a smile.
“And I don’t know where you live either,” he said with a smile. “But I have heard you mention Philly every so often so I think that is home for you?”
“Actually, I grew up in Kirksville, Missouri and then moved to Philly with my sister. Career choice and stuff.”
“That is so weird. I was born and raised in Missouri,” Daniel said looking at her.
“Really?” she asked with a smile.
“St. Louis actually.”
She crossed her legs and looked at him.
“Nice to meet you, Daniel Reese, from St. Louis.”
“Nice to meet you too, Erica Hayes from Philadelphia,” he said as he looked at her. She looked at him and smiled. “So, I know this is weird and everything so I really don’t want you to worry about anything. I’ll take a cab to the airport. I hate goodbyes.”
She looked at him and shook her head.
“What do you mean?” she asked looking at him sadly.
“I just can’t do this goodbye thing. I hate it and seeing the sadness in your eyes is going to be too much for me,” he said touching her chin.
