“I suppose you may be right about that, Ramon.” She sat there in quiet solitude contemplating how she was going to handle the paperwork that was undeniably going to fall on her desk. She would see it, as a slap to the face, but it wasn’t like he had promised her the world on a silver platter. “I did have a great time. It may have not ended the way that I wanted it too, but I don’t think that I will ever think of him without fond feelings. I don’t know how he felt about it, but I would say that we fed off of each other’s lust for life.” She would love to do it again and they were of like mind in that regard.
Chapter four
She couldn’t believe it and as that plane took off into the open sky, she knew that she had to find some distance away from her problems. Her best friend in Tahoe had offered her safe passage to her winter getaway. Getting pregnant was not something that she expected, but she found over the last couple weeks that she wasn’t going to get rid of it. She was tempted to tell Payton, but this would have ruined his chances of playing the field. She didn’t want to put him in a position to have to take care of the baby. She was perfectly capable of doing that on her own.
Payton was looking out the window of the airport and seeing that the woman that was carrying his child had now found a way to slip his grasp. He watched the plane disappear, but that was not going to be enough to stop him. He knew that she was on her way to a friend’s place in Tahoe. He thought that if he could corner her at the airport that he could confront her about the baby. Unfortunately, fate had a funny way of playing with his mind and now he had no choice, but to follow her. He had already contacted a private jet and they were already fueled and ready to go on the tarmac.
He felt like his friend had set him up and by telling him that she was pregnant made it impossible for him to let her go without him having his say. Over the last couple of weeks, he couldn’t think of anybody else and it had made him look at the other girls more critically. There were those that were falling all over themselves to be with him, but he denied them that request. He had been celibate for the past two weeks and he had no idea how a girl like Josie could get underneath his skin like that. Her curves and her beautifully big body were permanently on his mind.
He was escorted onto the plane and given the VIP treatment of a celebrity. They were going to meet again and by hell or high water, he was going to make sure that she knew exactly how he felt.
It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time and it seemed that the universe had other ideas of making them like ships in the night. She arrived at the Airport first and went through the customs, before finding a rent a car in her name waiting for her arrival. She drove away from the curb, not realizing that Payton had come out at precisely that time.
Payton called his friend and gave him an ultimatum that he couldn’t refuse. He would get him tickets to the playoffs behind the players box, but he had to find a way to squeeze the information out of the person that he had over heard talking about Payton and the pregnancy. He waited by packing back and forth in front of the Airport doors.
“I got the information that you want and you better not be fucking with me, Payton. I want those playoff tickets and you have no idea what I had to do to get that information. Let’s just say that I’m taking one for the team and leave it at that.” Payton’s friend was one of the other teammates. He wasn’t exactly attracted to the supplier of that information. She wouldn’t give in, until he agreed to one night. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that, as this girl was different than the others. She had this certain quality and maybe it was a good thing that they found each other.
“I promised you the tickets and I am not a man that goes back on my word. I don’t know how to thank you.” He hung up. He hailed a taxi and gave them the address to where he wanted to go. It would take about 15 minutes to get there. He had no idea why Josie would keep this from him, but she had to have a good reason. It was possible that his claim that this was supposed to be a one night stand had made her wonder if maybe their night together was only supposed to be that one night. If that were the case, then he wouldn’t blame her one bit for trying to keep this to herself.
Josie had arrived at the cabin, swung open the door and closed it behind her. She had stopped for a few supplies, but there was a full pantry at her disposal. She had just begun to cook a very hearty meal of pasta, when she saw the headlights of some car coming up the drive. She thought that maybe it was one of her friend’s friends, but then she shockingly put her hand up to her mouth. Payton emerged like a ghost from the past.
Payton saw her through the window and he rushed to the stairs. He looked at her through the only obstacle in the way. She was shaking her head. He smiled and saw that her worry that he was angry had now diminished. He motioned for the door to open and she knew exactly what he wanted. They stood there staring at each other a few inches away.
Payton placed his hand on her stomach and even though it was still too early, he was aware that his prodigy was lying within. “I’m sorry that I made you think that I didn’t want any of this. I think that I was scared that you were getting a little too close for comfort. I thought that I was going soft, but I think I realize now that love has a way of striking at a moment’s notice.”
His hand on her stomach made her see his desire for family had come from a night that they could never talk about openly with anyone. It was wild and untamed and then he was sweeping her off her feet. “I don’t know what to say. I wasn’t expecting to see you and there’s a small part of me that thinks that I’m going to pinch myself and find out that I’m dreaming.” He carried her across the threshold and over to the dining room table. There were no plates to get in the way, as he placed her on top of it. They frantically went after each other’s clothing with him dropping his pants and her lifting her skirt like she had done in the club.
He spit into his hand and made sure that she was ready, before taking her breath way with the first stroke of his mighty weapon. This was a performance that was one that had to be seen. They hammered into each other, forcing each other to look into each other’s eyes and knowing that this was only the beginning.
“Fuck me…fuck me like you didn’t do that night.” She was forcing him to think outside the box and not just do the same thing over again. “I mean it…show me that I’m not just a number or a notch on your belt. Show me with your body that things can always be spicy between us.”
Payton lifted her and she found her legs dangling around his waist with her body now suspended in the air. They’d never done this before and she knew that she must’ve been special for him to put up with the strain of her weight wrapped around him like a boa constrictor.
“I need this more than you can ever know. I’ve been without, since the moment that you left me that morning. I’m not just saying that and I think that you know what I’m referring to…your body…your eyes and the way that you move is like no other. You are a rare gem that needs to be appreciated… Fuck… Fuck…my god; you are just, as wild as I remember. He pushed her up against the wall, not even bothering to care that the pot of vegetables were boiling over. He did manage to reach out and turn the knob to prevent any kind of fire. The only fire that needed to burn out of control was the one between them.
Josie bit his neck and made him cry out, as his cock bucked to the sensation of not only her constricting pussy, but the feel of her mouth making him shiver. He pushed her up against that wall and made her feel him deep inside. She could feel him even deeper, as he planted his feet and lifted her off the floor with the thrust of his knees. They kissed with their mouths scorching and their minds now remembering that night in vivid clarity.
“Oh my god….I think that we are going to…”
“Cum together.” They had said it at exactly the same time, as their union came to an end. They kissed lightly and knew that there was nothing and no one that was going to tear them apart again. He found her by having his friend arrange for him to go to the exact same place that she ha
d tried to hide from him.
He reached for the inside of his jacket. He took out the annulment papers and tore them up in front of her eyes. Their marriage would stay intact and the family that he had always longed for was right there at his fingertips and he was never going to let them go.
RIDE
Chapter one
Tina was sitting there in her office looking over reports and there was a knock on her door. She had told her Secretary Jennifer to leave her alone for the next half an hour. She wanted to catch up with her work and not be bothered by any kind of interference that might keep her from getting out of here early tonight for a change.
The knock was this resounding echo that drummed into her skull. She was getting annoyed and tried to put it out of her mind, but it wasn’t going away. “Jennifer, I don’t think that I have to tell you this again, but I’m not ready for any of your nonsense.” She had long dirty blond hair and a body that she tried to hide from those eager eyes. She couldn’t deny that her work in the gym lately had gotten her the results that she was looking for.
“I really think that you should come out here, Dr. Sterling.” Jennifer stood on the other side of the door looking over her shoulder nonchalantly at the man that had just entered. He had walked in like he owned the place and was sitting there in a pinstripe suit looking as dapper as ever. “I don’t think that this guy’s going to take no for an answer. He won’t leave, until he talks to you face to face. I’ve tried to tell him that he could come back later, but he says it’s a matter of life and death.” Jennifer knew that this man was only using that term to get a quick response.
“Tell him that I don’t have time and that he should come back later. If he continues to be a nuisance, then just give him a card to one of the other doctors in the building. I’m sure that one of them will be able to see him in the manner that he requests. I will not be coerced into seeing a new patient. If you need to, you can tell him that I only see female patients.” Tina was getting this migraine. She knew that eventually she was going to have to pop a couple of pills to get rid of it. It was always that way on a Friday afternoon when things had piled up on her desk. She was a bit of a procrastinator. Her mother had warned her that these days would weigh heavily on her shoulders.
She mumbled something underneath her breath. The only person that could hear what she was saying was herself. She was lambasting Jennifer for being bullied and she thought that her assistant was above that sort of thing. She had made it abundantly clear from the moment that she hired her that she was going to have to be her last line of defense.
There was nothing, but silence and it gave her sense of calm to think that Jennifer was doing what she was told. She did like the spunk of this 22 year old kid. There was a small part of her that wanted to live vicariously through some of her stories of late night escapades. She remembered blushing the first time that she told her of the three some that turned out to be an all out orgy by the end of it. She secretly placed herself into those scenarios. She would never do such a thing in real life. She did feel this need to fantasize.
The knock came back, but this time it was louder than it was before. “Don’t blame your assistant. I told her that I was coming back here and if she tried to stop me that I would walk right past her anyway. To her credit, she did try to block my path, but I easily lifted her out of the way. She told me what you said and I’m afraid I’m going to have to use that against you. It is my right to be seen by any doctor that I choose without the threat of prejudice.” Keith Starr knew what it was to be put under the spotlight.
He was a charismatic young billionaire with a multiyear contract with the Phoenix Coyotes. He was worried about constant headaches and fatigue. He hadn’t told his trainer, but one of his best friends had given him the name of Tina Sterling. He was reluctant to see a female Dr., but his friend assured him that she was all about discretion. His friend’s sister was a famous tennis player. She had a condition that if made public would become an albatross around her neck. She would not be finding any sponsors, because they wouldn’t be able to take a chance on her not being able to play.
“I don’t care who you are and I certainly don’t respond to those kinds of threats.” Her voice was laced with annoyance. She rubbed her eyes. She was looking at these pages and knowing that there was no end in sight. “Leave or I’m going to call the police and tell them that I have an intruder.” She didn’t think that she would go that far, but she was trying to put this man back on his heels.
“Look, I can either report you or I can go to the press and make a big stink out of you being prejudiced about men. How do you suppose that will look to the public?” He was about to hammer down his fist on to the door one more time, but it wasn’t necessary. It swung open to the agitated expression on Tina’s face. He looked at her and for a moment became speechless. He couldn’t help, but to admire the woman’s confidence, but also her hidden need for something a lot more than just a good book to curl up to. Her curves and the way that she moved made him want to see more of what was under that lab coat. He loved his women with more than the average woman.
“You have 5 minutes to tell me what you want. It wasn’t necessary to become this belligerent. I would have gladly seen you, but I was busy and I demanded my assistant to keep my schedule light. Since you’ve already come all this way, I suppose I should listen to what you have to say. I’m sure that you think that you’re some big deal, but I really don’t know you.” She looked at him and the way that suit hung on his body and she could only think about what he would look like without it.
“I can’t believe that you have no idea who I am. It’s that close to the playoffs that you’d think that my reputation would precede me. I’m guessing that you’re not much for sports and that you find most if not all of them barbaric. I have the fate of my team riding on what happens here. They are expecting me to put on a show that’s going to put that cup in our hands.” He thought that he could make her see the importance, but she didn’t seem the least bit impressed.
“Like I said, I’m sure that you are a big deal to someone, but you’re not to me. Once you come through that door, you are my patient and I will give you my undivided attention. What exactly can I do for you and why is it that you insist on beating around the bush.”
The only bush that he wanted to be around was hers, but he was not going to make the mistake of trying to seduce a woman that had this ice cold exterior. He felt that cold chill through his bones, but she did seem like she was responsive to his advances. He wondered if maybe she could be that elusive whale that everybody was talking about. There was always that one that was unattainable, unless of course you had the good looks and charm to make their panties melt off their body.
Tina looked at this black man with short cropped hair and muscular physique. She knew him to be a slave to his body. She wanted to pity him for that, but she couldn’t. She had once been reluctant to step into a gym, but when she did, it was like she had been born again. She became addicted to looking at herself in the mirror after every workout to see the results. Those days of worrying about her physical makeup was over. She may have been big boned, but she had found a way to mold that into something to be proud of.
“I was hoping that I could take things easy and get down to what is bothering me in time. It appears that you are in a hurry and I guess I’m just going to happen blurt it out. I have to take my annual checkup and I’m worried about what they’re going to find. There are times that I can’t sleep and my mind races with images of failure on the ice. At first, I thought it might be a panic attack, but now my hands are trembling and my breathing is getting a little heavy. I feel tired all the time and it’s an effort to just get out of bed sometimes in the morning.” He watched for any kind of reaction, but mostly she was stone faced through the whole spiel.
“Those symptoms could be a multitude of different things. Some are easily medicated and others are more severe that could cost you your career. I don’t want you be worrie
d and we may as well get down to the meat of the matter. I’m going to have to ask you to disrobe and get completely naked. I’m going to be taking some blood samples and I will need you to pee in this jar. I’ll give you a few moments alone to complete the task, but then I will make a very quick study under the microscope. This building is equipped with its own test lab downstairs and I have a few markers that I can call upon to get them posthaste.” She didn’t know why, but she wanted to touch him. Tina knew that she didn’t really need him to get undressed, but that was the perk of being a Dr. and having that kind of power in the palm of her hand.
Chapter two
He folded his suit and hung it over the chair that was near the table with the stirrups. He had a pretty good idea of what they were used for and was hoping that he wasn’t going to have to be subjected to that kind of humiliation.
Tina felt like her skin was on fire. She would need to do something to alleviate the situation. She easily undid the first couple of buttons on her white blouse underneath the starch white lab coat. Her stethoscope was around her neck and she had this giddy anticipation about porting it against his chest and watching him breathe with each breath making his chest rise and fall. She could almost envision what he would be like naked and vulnerable in a situation that was ripe with sexual tension.
“I think that I’m going to head out. I do have that appointment and I did clear that with you a few days ago. I hope that he doesn’t give you too much of a hassle. I know him, but I can’t place exactly where. I know that it will come to me. I get this feeling like he might be some sort of celebrity.” Jennifer looked at her boss to see if she was going to show any signs that she was right on the money. She never smiled or showed any indication that she might be right about this.
