“I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you wanted to be more assertive, and take charge, I wouldn’t object. I feel like maybe you’re holding back, and I, well, it makes me wonder why? If you’re afraid or worried about anything, don’t be. I want us to feel safe to explore anything with each other,” Nora croaked nervously.
Gage chuckled under his breath, a sense of relief washing over him. For a moment he thought she was trying to find a way to end things with him. He knew he needed to step up his game in the bedroom, he wanted to, hell he had been waiting for the moment that he could let down his guard. He had been raised to respect his woman, to make sure that she wanted his advances. His mother would have cuffed him in the ear if she ever thought that he was behaving like an entitled douche bag. She had drilled it into his head to make sure that he had consent before ever making advances. Apparently, that respect came across to Nora as shy, reserved and passionless. Fuck, he hoped he could prove her wrong.
“I want that too,” he assured, “You have no idea how much I want that.”
Nora smiled broadly at him, as though relieved that he understood.
“I’m not as reserved as you may think I am, woman,” he growled, inching closer to her, suddenly feeling the need to prove his prowess. If she wanted a man, she was going to get a man.
“No?” she teased sliding away from him coyly, tempting him to follow, “Not a shy, passive guy? Are you sure?”
“Oh, I’m pretty sure,” he crowed, setting his wine glass down, and then hers. He crawled over the couch towards her, his cock quickly stiffening between his legs. He unbuttoned his jeans assertively, and pushed her into the sofa cushions, laying her back, then forced her arms over her head in one swift move. She moaned underneath him, her wide eyes brimming with curiosity.
“Don’t move,” he growled, releasing her arms, “stay right there.” He pulled up her skirt and ripped her panties off her, tossing them on the floor beside him, coaxing another moan out of her. He knew he was being rough, but the drive inside him was powerful. He wanted to take her.
“Gage,” Nora whispered, squirming underneath him. He brought his mouth down on hers, hard, forcing his tongue inside.
“Shhh,” he commanded, as he pulled his lips away from hers, “don’t talk unless I tell you to.”
Nora gasped, pulling in her breath sharply, but he could tell it was not in objection. She was digging it. He flipped her over on her stomach, and pushed his groin into her so she could feel how hard he was inside his jeans, then buried his face into her neck to bite her sensitive flesh. She smelled like coconut, sweat and sex, her pheromones perfuming her skin, arousing all his senses. She giggled and tried to pull away.
“No,” he insisted, landing a playful but firm smack on her ass. “Just stay still. Don’t move an inch.”
Gage, slid his hand between her legs, plunging his fingers inside her. She was soaking wet and ready for him. He fucked her with his fingers, while he used his free hand to hold her down. She rocked her hips in unison, forcing him to penetrate her deeper, while she gasped for breath. He knew she was close.
“Don’t cum, Nora. Not until I tell you to. Tonight, I own your cunt, do you hear me?” he insisted, his breath hot in her ear. His erection throbbed inside his pants, begging for release.
He picked her up and leaned her over the arm of the couch, spreading her knees beneath her so he could have better access to her. He leaned in behind her, wrapping a hand around her hip so he could rub her clit. She moaned deeply, sharing her approval. His fingers found her hole again and easily slipped inside. She twisted and squirmed against the couch, begging him for release, but he was having too much fun torturing her.
He chuckled flirtatiously, and whispered in her ear, “You are so fucking sexy, your pussy is hot and wet. Do you want to be fucked?”
“Yesssss,” she gasped, pushing her ass into him.
“Beg me, dirty girl. Tell me what you want,” he demanded, smacking her ass a second time.
She groaned desperately, and put her head down, as though the pleasure was too much.
“Fuck me,” she whispered, her words barely audible. “I can’t hear you,” he growled back, again grinding himself into her.
“Fuck me,” she begged, this time a little louder.
He laughed roguishly, heavily aroused by her need.
Gage took his pants off, releasing his angry erection. He searched for a condom in his pockets but couldn’t find one.
“Dammit,” he groaned, throwing his pants on the ground. Nora knew exactly what the problem was and giggled into a pillow.
“Oh, you think this is funny?” he scolded, throwing himself over her. She turned her head sideways so she could meet his eyes, playfully grinning at him. His cock slid between her legs, feeling the sensation of her exquisite wetness lubricating his shaft. God he wanted to bare back her. He hadn’t fucked a woman without a condom in a long, long time and the temptation nearly split him in half. She seemed to enjoy his manly flesh rubbing against her swollen folds as well, as her legs spread open even wider. She moaned his name, and slipped her hand between her legs, tugging on his cock so she could massage her clit with it.
“Jesus, woman, you’re fucking killing me,” he groaned, pushing himself dangerously close to her opening.
“I’m fucking cumming,” she gasped, pushing back into him, “Please, let me cum.”
“Yes,” he stammered, his own cock dripping with excitement.
“Fuck me,” she insisted breathlessly, practically impaling herself onto his blade, “It’s ok, just do it, please.”
He knew she was lost in the heat of the moment, he was too, and he couldn’t stop even if he wanted to. He grabbed her shoulders and plunged his cock into her, as deep as it would go, until her beautiful, curvy ass pressed against his groin. In and out, in and out, her sweet wetness seducing him.
The pleasure was fucking brilliant. He held her hips, rocking himself into her while she squirmed and moaned beneath him. Within seconds she came, her pussy, like velvet, throbbed and tightened around his cock. It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever felt before, and he was close to climaxing himself, but he wanted to enjoy her for as long as he could.
He pulled himself out of her, slow and deliberately, then encouraged her to turn over. As soon as her pretty face was within reach he kissed her, this time a little more gently, but with no less passion. She held his face in her hands, kissing him back with equal intensity.
“God, you’re beautiful,” he croaked, slipping his erection between her thighs.
She opened herself up for him, wrapping her legs around his waist, inviting his cock home. He eased his way into her, pumping his thick shaft against the walls of her pussy, pushing himself deeper and deeper into her, his lover’s squeaks, whispers, and moans fully arousing him
“Tell me one of your sexiest fantasies,” he uttered breathlessly, his eyes locked to hers, “don’t hold back, I want to know the dirtiest one.”
Nora looked at him seductively and bit her bottom lip.
“I, um, I, want to be... with two men,” she panted, sliding her hands down his back to the roundness of his muscular ass, pulling him in tighter. “at the same time. I want to be fucked by them both.”
The thought of Nora being turned on by her fantasy, imagining two men fucking her while she writhed in pleasure, was enough to send Gage over the edge. He imagined himself in that scenario with her, fucking her from behind while she pleasured another man, Nora sucking his cock while another man ate her pussy, the two of them penetrating her at once, all of them cumming at the same time, bodies entwined in a tangle of saliva, sweat, and cum. It was a fucking hot fantasy.
He could feel the orgasm surging in his groin, building with an intensity that rocked his hips even more, forced his cock even deeper, pumping faster and faster until he exploded inside her, his hot seed spilling into her fevered body. She tightened her grip on his ass, her thighs squeezing against him as she climaxed hers
elf, screaming out his name over and over, her body bucking beneath him as he watched her in awe.
She held him while he laid on top of her, giving him time to recover. He could feel his erection surrendering to the exhaustion, his warm, sticky semen spilling out of her as her pussy released its grip on him. His body tingled from the endorphins, all of his senses heightened. He was acutely aware of her breathing, hypnotized by its soothing rhythm. If heaven existed, this was it. This exact feeling.
“I may have jumped to conclusions with you,” Nora mused, shifting her body beneath him.
He rolled on his side, allowing her to wiggle out from under him. She turned to him and smiled.
“You think?” he grinned back, tracing a finger over her cheek bone and down her chin, pulling her towards him for a kiss.
“Yes, smart ass. You know I did,” she said, pouting playfully. “I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I understand why you did,” he comforted. “I can be shy. It takes a while for me to come out of my shell. Seriously, I appreciate your honesty, because it opened the door for me to be myself.”
Nora nodded and smiled at him gratefully. Gage kissed her again, happy that the ice between them was finally broken. He had a feeling there was a lot more fun to be had together, especially if they were comfortable enough to get freaky together.
“Just so you know,” he insisted, his eyes filled with mischief, “I would have eventually kicked that damn door open myself.”
“There’s no doubt in my mind, babe,” Nora agreed, snuggling in a little closer.
CHAPTER 22
NORA
“So now what?” Dana mused, popping a french fry into her mouth.
Nora looked up at her twin, shaking her head. If only there was an easy answer to that question. Last night with Gage had been damn near perfect. After their amazing sex he drew her a bubble bath, lighting the candles in the bathroom, and invited her in. While she sat in the tub, he bathed her lovingly, even washing her hair for her, proving that he had both ‘wildly assertive’ and ‘deliciously romantic’ on his resume.
And then there was Leo. He had been so honest and brave with her, opening his heart just a little wider to make space for her. He had shown her how passionate he could be, from the dance hall to the bedroom, and his story had touched her heart.
“Why did you tell me it was okay to date two men at the same time?” Nora groaned. “Worst idea ever!”
“Because it’s not the 50’s anymore,” Dana laughed. “Women are allowed to explore their options and play the field just like men have been doing for thousands of years. Come on, how bad can it be?”
“It’s bad,” Nora admitted, sitting back in her desk chair. “I can’t do it anymore. It’s not fair to them. I have really strong feelings for both of them, and since polyamory is still not socially acceptable, I can’t fall in love with two men.”
“And yet you are?” Dana surmised, looking at her sister with empathy.
Nora shrugged, chewing on her bottom lip.
“Shit, really?”
“I’m not sure. I am. I think. Fuck.” Nora stammered, her anxiety coloring her cheeks.
She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, and lowered them before Dana could see them.
“Awww, Nora,” her sister comforted, “it will be okay. There must be one of them that you have stronger feelings for. Who are you in love with?”
Nora looked up at her sister, her eyes filled with doubt. Who was she in love with?
When she hadn’t spoken in several minutes, Dana chimed back in, “What are you thinking?”
“I love... well it’s... I think... I think I really need to know how to finish this sentence before I can talk to either of them. Maybe I need some time to myself to figure it out. When I am with Leo, I feel like it’s him. He challenges me, excites me in a way I didn’t think was possible. He gives me the butterflies whenever we are together. But then, when I’m with Gage, I’m sure it’s him,” Nora explained softly, her voice barely a whisper, as though she was just thinking out loud and Dana was not even in the room with her.
“And what is it about Gage?” Dana asked, her voice just as hushed.
“Gage,” Nora smiled, “he is so loving, and considerate, and thoughtful. He makes me happy, comfortable, safe. I feel like he’s my best friend.”
“Oh,” Dana grimaced, hoping that friend wasn’t a bad thing.
“No, no, he’s not in the friend zone, trust me,” Nora insisted. “We have a great physical connection too, especially after last night. What I’m trying to say is that I feel like Gage would always have my back, no matter what.”
“And Leo?” Dana asked curiously. “Would he always have your back?”
“That’s a good question.” Nora wondered, her voice trailing off.
She didn’t know that yet. Gage seemed to always want to take care of Nora, opening doors for her, checking in with her to make sure she was happy, doing little things to make her feel loved. Leo, on the other hand, was more of a modern man. He treated her as more of an equal, assuming she could take care of herself, which she could. He seemed certain that if she wasn’t happy about something, she would speak up, which she was starting to do. He had shown her in different ways that he cared, but it was just more subtle. It took her a while to get used to Leo’s style, but she liked the challenge. Would he have her back? Protect her heart? Put her needs above his own? That remained to be seen.
She just needed to decide what traits she desired from a partner more in the long term. What would ultimately make her feel like she was in a balanced, happy, and respectful relationship?
“Well, I like Gage,” Dana crowed, winking at her twin. “He’s frigging gorgeous and super sweet.”
“That he is, but in all fairness, you haven’t met Leo yet,” Nora exclaimed, knowing her sister was biased, “and you only met Gage twice, and both times were for just a few minutes!”
“Along with what you have told me about him, he just seems like a decent guy. Devon was so self-centered and you always had to work so hard with him. He made you jump through hoops, remember? I just worry that Leo might be the same,” Dana insisted, holding nothing back. “I understand your attraction to him, I really do, but are you sure this is not just about you wanting to hang with the cool kids all over again? Trying to prove your worthiness?”
Nora stared at her sister, her mouth agape, shocked by the allegation. It wasn’t uncommon for her to get annoyed by Dana’s opinions, hell, they didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but this was too much! Nora was not a self-conscious teenager anymore! She was well beyond that, and the fact that her sister couldn’t see that was infuriating.
“I know you don’t want to hear this, but I worry about you. You deserve the best, and I feel like you are too close to the situation to see things clearly. Obviously Leo is a hot guy, but there is more to a relationship than sex!” Dana chided, dangerously close to crossing the line.
“Don’t you think I know that?” Nora snapped. “I’m not an idiot, Dana!”
“I know you’re not, that’s not what I’m saying. It’s just that I know a thing or two about this. Once the bloom is off the rose—and trust me, it will happen—there has to be something more to get you through the rough patches, those ups and downs that will inevitably come. You must remember that with Devon!” Dana offered, trying to redeem herself. “As much as I love Sam, our sex life is not as hot as it once was, if we weren’t close in other ways, it would be difficult to go through this ‘down’ with him, you know? The transfer to New York.”
Nora understood what she was saying, but Dana didn’t know everything Nora knew about Leo, or Gage. She took a deep breath, trying to gather herself. Dana was entitled to her opinion, it didn’t make her right.
“I wish you had a chance to meet him, that’s all. I feel like you would understand a little better, just why I am so torn,” Nora said, trying to keep her tone level.
She
really needed her sister to appreciate what she saw in Leo, so she could understand why he meant so much to her.
“Well, I would have if he hadn’t avoided meeting me,” Dana grumbled, pushing her food away.
Nora sighed, unable to conceal her frustration.
“He wasn’t avoiding you, he had to work,” she offered half-heartedly, annoyed that she had to defend him.
It sounded like she was making excuses for him, and that would only feed into Dana’s doubts.
“Well then, why don’t I go with you tomorrow night? I’m not in rehearsal and Sam is working on a big case at the moment. It might be nice. If he is introducing you to his friends, it might be a great time to bring me along. Less pressure,” Dana suggested cautiously.
“That’s interesting,” Nora agreed.
It actually wasn’t a bad idea, Nora thought, confident that Leo wouldn’t mind.
“I’m heading over right after work. Do you think you can meet me here, at 5:00?”
Dana grinned at her, nodding her head enthusiastically.
“I’ll be here! I can’t wait to meet him, maybe he’ll prove me wrong.”
“I think once you meet him you will understand what I see in him,” Nora offered warmly, hoping in her heart of hearts it was true.
* * *
The drive to Leo’s place had been relatively easy. They had squeezed their way through a traffic jam, but other than that they made good time. Although she had been a little irritated with her sister, she was grateful that Dana was joining her. She had texted Leo earlier in the day for directions and asked him if Dana could come. He graciously agreed, even stating that he was excited to meet her. Nora took that as a sign that they had indeed been making great strides. She was in a wonderful mood, not only was she happy to meet Leo’s friends, she only had one more day of work before her vacation started. She had scheduled herself off for two weeks, her first time since starting her practice.
Leo lived in a modest condo close to the fire station, a two story town home with an overgrown garden in the front. It was clear that the place needed a woman’s touch, Nora thought, smiling to herself. She looked at her sister and shrugged.
