Seth held out his arms. In his hands were a bottle of champagne, two plastic hotel glasses, and a big piece of white wedding cake with two forks. Seth placed the plate with the cake on the bed, popped the cork on the champagne, and poured them both a glass. Seth picked up a fork, knelt on the floor and leaned on the side of the bed. “This is really good,” he said, putting a bite of the cake in his mouth. “Try it.”
Julia picked up a fork and took a bite. She smiled and nodded her head. “It is good,” she said. She took a second bite. “Seth, may I ask you a personal question? You can say no if you want.”
“Sure, go ahead.” Seth took a bite of cake and washed it down with a sip from the plastic blue cup.
“Why haven’t you ever been married?” Julia took another bite of cake and chewed. “You’ve been a groomsman in what, five weddings?”
“Six,” he corrected her. “I don’t know.” Seth used his fork and played with the crumbs on the side of the plate. “I just never found the right woman I guess. I’ve never met anyone who made me think, that’s the person I want to stand with in front of all my friends and shove wedding cake in her face.”
Julia covered her mouth to keep from spitting out her cake, laughing so hard she fell backward on the bed laughing. Seth began to laugh, too.
As their laughter subsided, Julia leaned up to grab her cup and took a sip of her champagne. Seth moved the plate to the side and grabbed her ankles, pulling her to the edge of the bed, directly in front of him.
Seth reached for his fork, cut off a piece of the cake and using his fingers, fed it to Julia. He sucked the frosting from his fingers and wrapped his arms around her. Pulling her close, he kissed her hard.
Oh god. Is he falling for me? I can’t let him fall for me. I’m no good for him. I’m too old for him. Am I falling for him? No, I can’t be. We’re just having fun. I’m over thinking this. I always over think it.
Seth pulled back from their kiss and stood up. Julia smiled at him. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. She adored the way he stiffened when she smiled at him, forcing himself to hold back his lust, knowing once they touch, he will no longer be able to control his want, his desire, and his need for her. Knowing what was coming turned the fire inside her into molten lava.
Grabbing the plate from the bed, Seth moved everything back to the table. Julia watched his movements, his muscles flexing and contracting, and her longing for him grew. He moved back toward the bed and when he reached for the blue cup on the bedside table, Julia grabbed his hand.
“Leave it,” she said. She pulled him closer, until he stood directly in front of her. Slowly, she reached up and pulled on his belt, undoing the buckle and sliding it from the loops of his pants. She tossed the belt on the floor and it clanged. She could feel his excitement growing as she unbuttoned his black tuxedo pants, and slowly moved the zipper down. Julia slid her thumbs inside the waistband and pulled his pants down over his hips, leaning forward and brushing her lips against the bulge in his black boxer brief underwear. Seth gasped deeply, and she smiled.
Running her blood red nails up the hardness hiding under the material, Julia again tucked her thumbs in his waistband, this time pulling them outward, freeing his erection for her to enjoy completely.
Julia looked up at Seth and met his gaze. She stroked his penis with her fingertips and used her tongue to trace the length of the shaft causing Seth to moan in appreciation. She watched his face for cues, finally taking him into her mouth. Seth stroked the back of her head with his hand and then fisted her hair. She watched as he leaned his head back, and heard him suck at the air. Julia used her tongue to massage his growing dick. Seth moaned with delight and it sent chills all over her body. Reaching down, Seth caressed her neck and moved the hair out of her face.
“Oh, Julia,” Seth said. Julia closed her eyes at the sound of her name on his tongue. She slid her lips up and down on the shaft, moving further down each time. Seth’s moans grew deeper and louder. The more he groaned, the more it fueled her, taking pleasure in knowing she was the origin of his bliss.
“Take it,” he said. His words were low and breathy. “Take it all, please.”
Sucking harder, Julia felt a rage of heat growing between her legs, her clit throbbing, her pussy hungry with a need to feel him inside her. She slid forward on the bed, and placed her hands on Seth’s muscular thighs, gripping them between her fingers. Relax. Her body was tense, full of excitement and want for his flesh. Relax and make him feel good. Julia let all the air out of her lungs, taking the full length of Seth’s long, thick penis in her mouth, allowing it to slide down the back of her throat. Pulling back just slightly, she took him faster and deeper. Seth’s hand moved to the back of her head and pushed down slightly.
“Oh, yes,” he hissed. “That’s it.” She pulled back and did it again, causing him to let out a long throaty growl. Julia pulled back and flicked her tongue against the head of his dick. Tilting her head back, she looked up to see him watching her. She takes his impressive penis deep in her throat one last time, feeling his hips thrust slightly in response.
“Stop,” he said, with a tone of urgency. He put one hand on each side of her head, stopping her movement. “You’re going to make me come in your mouth.” Julia slowly pulled her lips back, giving one last suck on the overly sensitive head of his penis. He took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. “I don’t want to come that way. I want to be inside you.” After applying a condom, Seth reached down, took Julia’s hands, and helped her up from the bed. “Come here.” His voice floated on his breath, a seductive whisper. Lightly taking her in his grip, Seth walked backwards. “Do you trust me?” he asked. The moonlight cascading through the sliding glass of the doors of the balcony illuminated the room just enough for her to see his sculpted body, and fully erect penis. Pulling her close, he pressed against her, their naked flesh bound together. She felt his warm breath on her neck as he put his lips next to her ear. “Trust me,” he whispered.
Julia raised her arms as Seth pulled her t-shirt over her head and tossed it away. “I do,” she said. “I trust you.” The words ooze from her lips, coming out raw, wanting, and needy. Gripping the sides of her underwear, he dug his fingers into her hips and pulled them off. Julia closed her eyes and begged for more, his touch on her skin was almost enough to make her lose control. Seth cupped her breasts and placed a deep passionate kiss on the nap of her neck.
Chills ran down her spine as Seth cupped her ass in his robust hands and lifted her from the floor. In one swift movement, he turned around, and drove her back against the wall, her flesh smacking the cool smooth surface. Slowly, Seth pushed his massive erection into her swollen, wet slit. Julia could no longer hold back her cries. She held onto him tightly, the feel of his body calling to hers to let go of any further inhibitions.
Julia opened her mouth with a soft moan, and Seth didn’t hesitate to move his tongue inside. She could taste the sweetness of wedding cake and champagne, adding to the passion of their kiss.
Seth moved his arms under her knees, draping her legs over the crook of his elbows, spreading her swollen opening. Julia gasped at the depth of his penetration, digging her nails into his shoulders.
“You’ve got me so hot,” Seth said. “I’m not going to last long.”
“Neither am –”
Before Julia was able to finish her sentence the power of her orgasm took over, forcing all the muscles of her body to contract, pushing her back against the wall, her fervent cries fueling his pace. She felt the moisture of her gratification running down the crack of her ass.
Seth let out a low growl, put his palms on the wall, and thrust himself deep inside her, taking her breath away. Seth stood still and buried his face in her chest, his back arching with his heavy breathing. Damn. Julia felt her legs begin to shake. Holy fuck. I don’t think I’ve ever come that hard in my life.
Seth gently lowered her to the floor and kissed her lips. Julia walked to the bathroom, turning back once to see Seth watching
her walk away.
I still got it.
CHAPTER 15
J ulia smiled as the sweetness of the strawberries coated her tongue. “You didn’t have to do all this.” She poked a piece of mango with her fork. Glancing out the window, she saw the first colors over the horizon of the rising sun. The sky lit up with hues of orange and yellow, making the world appear as if it was on fire.
“It’s beautiful isn’t it?” Seth said. His voice brought her back to moment at hand. “The sunrise. It’s beautiful. I’ve seen it every morning I’ve been here.”
“Yes,” she said, smiling. “It is. You’re lucky to get such a great room.”
“It’s almost as beautiful as our sunset.” Seth reached across the table and held Julia’s hand. They stared out the window and watched the sunrise create an artistic masterpiece on the sky and sand.
“Wish I didn’t have to leave tomorrow morning.” Seth picked up his coffee and took a sip.
Julia felt her heart sink into her chest. She pulled her hand away and picked up her fork. Stabbing another piece of melon, she shoved it in her mouth, avoiding eye contact. “We could always exchange numbers, or maybe connect on Facebook or something.”
“I don’t know, Seth,” Julia said, chewing. Don’t fall for him. Don’t do it. It’s just a fling. It was just sex – fucking hot sex, but just sex. Let him leave and let it go. “I thought we agreed this was just going to be us having some fun – nothing more.”
“Is that what you want?” The look on Seth’s face caused Julia to pause.
“I don’t know,” she wiped her mouth and sat back in her chair. “I don’t think I’m ready for anything else. I’m sorry.” Julia watched Seth’s expression change. He looked down at the napkin in his lap. His eyes seemed to lose their sparkle. She felt herself wanting to console him, to take him in her arms, to bring back his smile. It scared her. She needed to get away before she gave in to him. “Maybe I should go.” Julia stood up from the table and grabbed her things.
She began to move toward the door but stopped. She turned around, placed her things on the bed, and walked back to table, kneeling in front of Seth. She reached up, and grabbing him behind the neck, pulled him down to meet her lips. Julia fisted his hair, and plunged her tongue into his mouth. Seth wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight, putting his own passion into their kiss.
Pulling back from their kiss, Julia looked into Seth’s eyes and cupped his face in her hands. “You’re a wonderful man,” she said. “I’m so happy that I met you, that I had this time with you. You have no idea what you did for me. And someday you will find someone perfect for you. You’ll find a woman that you want smash wedding cake with. I promise.” Julia kissed Seth’s lips quickly and stood from the floor.
Without looking back, Julia grabbed her things from the bed and walked out of Seth’s hotel room for the last time.
JULIA SCRUNCHED her hair with the soft white towel. Thoughts revolved through her mind, thoughts that kept her body from settling completely and continued to fan the fire of her lust. She second-guessed her decision not to stay in contact with Seth several times. Each time she managed to convince herself she did the right thing. Idiot! Why do you always have to do the right thing?
Thoughts of Seth and internal argument distracted her enough to answer her cell phone without checking the caller ID.
“Hello,” she answered. Her voice was cheerful and light for the first time in years.
“Jules?” Brian’s voice came through, sending chills down Julia’s spine. “Is that you?” Julia dropped the towel to her side, listening to the ghost of her past life chase away the joy she had finally found in her tropical getaway.
“Brian ...” words escaped her. She knew what she wanted to say, but she vowed never to let him see that side of her – to know how much he hurt her. You fucking bastard. You cheating, lying, worthless fucking bastard. Why the fuck are you calling me? It’s not enough that you ruined my life and humiliated me, now you want to ruin the best time I’ve ever had by calling me – now? “What do you want, Brian?”
“I just wanted – needed – to talk to you,” Brian said. “Do you have a few minutes?”
“Not really,” Julia said. She sat on the edge of the bed, rested her elbow on her knee, and rubbed her temples. Just leave me alone Brian. “I’m already late and I need to –”
“Jules, just give me a few minutes.”
“If you stop calling me Jules, I’ll give you one minute.”
Julia stood and began pacing the length of the room several times before retaking her seat on the edge of the bed. Are you fucking kidding me? Ass! “Okay, fine. What do you want to talk to me about?”
“I wanted you to hear it from me first –”
Julia heard Brian let out a deep breath. “Beth and I are having a baby.” Julia scoffed, covered her mouth with her hand, hoping to hold back the laugh that rumbled in her chest.
“Julia?” Brian’s voice changed, holding a note of concern.
Now you care? Now you give a shit about my feelings? You stupid fuck! She no longer restrained the laugh inside her. She opened her mouth allowed it flow through the phone, hoping Brian would drown in her amusement. “I already know, dumbass,” she said. “Thanks to your lovely wife.” Saying the word ‘wife’ to Brian felt like razorblades on her tongue. “She tagged all my friends in her little baby bump picture on Facebook.”
“She did what?” Brian said. Julia truly enjoyed the shock value her words apparently held. “Wow, Julia, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
“Well, that’s obvious.” Julia fell backwards onto the bed, her hair splaying out behind her head like the feathers of a large bird. “Is that all you wanted?”
“Um, yeah,” Brian’s voice stalled. “I guess so.” There was a pause as neither of them spoke. “So you’re doing okay? You’re happy?”
Julia looked up at the ceiling and watched the slow rotation of the blades on the wicker fan. Am I happy? Am I? I never thought about it ... I think I am. Yeah, I am.
“Jules – I mean, Julia,” Brian quickly corrected himself. “I just want you to be happy. I’m sorry that I hurt you. You deserved better.”
“Yes, I did, Brian. I have to go.” Feeling the onset of tears, Julia covered her eyes with her free hand. “Take care and congratulations.” She didn’t wait for Brian’s response before hanging up the phone and placing it on the pillow beside her.
Julia began to cry. She lay on the bed, covered her face with her hands, and cried. Her abdomen quivered with sobs. She cried for the years she gave Brian, and the years she would have given him. She cried for the child they never had. Julia cried because deep in her soul, past the embarrassment, the betrayal, and the hurt, she felt something – something beautiful, and it was freeing.
Letting out a deep cleansing sigh, Julia closed her eyes and her mind filled with images of Seth. She saw his eyes, his lips, his body. She remembered the feel of his touch on her skin, his scent. And the tears dried. They were just memories, but still they calmed her, giving her a sense of hope and love. Julia sat up on the bed and in an instant a realization came upon her. She realized she knew what she wanted, who she wanted, and there was no time to waste.
CHAPTER 16
Standing in front of Seth’s room, Julia tried to catch her breath. Please be awake. Please be awake. Please be here. She knocked again and took a deep breath.
Seth opened the door wearing nothing but a pair of grey shorts. Julia’s eyes scanned his body. Damn. Yeah. I’m doing this.
“Julia!” A smile came over Seth’s face and Julia could hear the excitement in his voice. “Come in, please. Come in.”
She walked in the room, turned around and waited for Seth to close the door. The latch clicked, Seth moved the lock into place. Julia pushed her body against his, wrapping her arms around his waist, rubbing her hands over his firm, toned back. Seth wrapped his arms around her and ran his fingers through her hair.
“Hey, Julia” Se
th said, his voice was deep, low, and her name on his lips thundered through her body. He used his knuckle and lifted Julia’s chin, raising her eyes to meet his gaze. “You okay?” he asked.
“Yes,” Julia said, gazing into his beautiful eyes. “I am now. I’m with you.” Her words came out soft, and sound more needy and wanting than she intended. She wanted to beg him to take her, to make her body his own. I want you, Seth. Please. Julia didn’t speak, and held Seth’s gaze, feeling her breath leave her body.
Seth grabbed Julia by the back of her neck and pulled her towards him. He pressed his lips against hers and she allowed herself to settle into his embrace. Bending over slightly, he gripped the back of her legs and lifted her. She felt moisture flood the crotch of her silky panties and a fire building in her core. Julia hopped into his arms, wrapping her legs around him and holding onto his neck, never losing their kiss. He walked to the bed and gently laid her down. Seth undid her pants and pulled them off her legs and Julia yanked off her top and bra, tossing it across the room.
Inserting two fingers, Seth caressed Julia from the inside, making sure she was wet and ready for him. She spread her legs, welcoming his touch, pushing against him, demanding more. He felt the flood of her want and licked his lips, his own desire building fast.
Seth quickly reached for his jeans, still draped across the chair, yanking them to the bed. He removed his wallet, threw the jeans to the floor, and scrambled for the golden foil packet. Ripping it open with his teeth, Seth knelt on the bed and skillfully rolled the latex sheath onto his impressive erection with one hand. He brushed the wallet and package remnants to the floor with his hand and then slowly lowered his body onto hers. Julia let out a deep breath as his weight pushed the air from her lungs. She stretched her arms out to the sides and dug her fingers into the soft fabric around her.
Seth entered her slowly, sliding into her wet heat. She hoped he would drowned in liquid passion. Julia bit her bottom lip and let out a long, soft whimper. She let Seth set the pace and rhythm. Her mind filled with the sensations of his body against her, his balls slapping against her ass, the grinding of his skin against her overly sensitive clit. Seth whispered her name into the nap of her neck and she felt the moist heat of his breath causing her already erect nipples to harden even more.
