He shrugged, “Guys like to fix up their basement with video games and stuff then call it a man-cave. I have one of those so for the attic I turned it into my personal luxury room. I can just chill here without anyone bugging me. Nobody goes looking for someone in the attic. They usually think I’m downstairs tuning up a car, working in my office or playing games in the basement. In here I can be free.”
Selena took a seat on the edge of the bed, “You’ve got a pretty big corner to be yourself. When I want to be alone I go to the park.”
“Solitude with nature?” Tom asked as he opened the fridge and took two cans of beer. He opened one up and handed it to Selena.
She took it, sipped, and then answered “No, not that kind of park. I mean the children’s park down Maple Street. I like to sit on one of the swings and just think, usually with a Slurpee or something cold.”
“That’s adorable,” he told her. “I haven’t been to a children’s park since I was eight or nine.”
“Seriously?” she looked at him in horror. “Oh god, we need to go tomorrow.”
“Oh, so now I’m guaranteed to see you tomorrow,” Tom poked fun at her.
Selena’s jaw dropped when she realized she had blurted that out, “Okay, you got me there.”
“I’m good for tomorrow,” he told her nonchalantly, pushing forward with the thought.
Selena sipped again from her drink and looked at him as she said “All right, then, tomorrow it is but only if you help me with something first.”
“You’re bribing me and charging me to spend time with you,” he commented before he drank. He did chuckle at the thought then said “Okay, what’s this one condition?”
“Help me with this job thing,” Selena told him. “There’s a designer’s company downtown. I think I’ll get in if I show them a good portfolio.”
Tom grinned then asked, “Oh, so you’re a designer or something like that? You want me to put in a good word for you?”
Selena laughed and then gave him a soft punch in the gut before replying, “No! I don’t need anything like that. My car’s due for maintenance tomorrow and I need a ride so if you help me get there in time I’ll let you take me on a date to the park.”
“Oh, so now it’s a date?” he again gave her that grin. She loved that look on his face. It gave a unique sparkle to his eyes and she knew he was playing with her at this point but she was having so much fun too.
“Shut up,” she told him and placed her beer can on the floor. “Can I have another one?”
Tom lay back on the bed, reached over his head to open the fridge then handed a can of beer to Selena without sitting back up. As she took it she saw him close his eyes and rest his hands on his chest, holding his can so it wouldn’t spill.
“Hey, don’t fall asleep,” she told him.
“Just relaxing,” he answered.
‘What the hell,’ Selena thought to herself and she lay back down as well. This was when she noticed the ceiling was covered with glow-in-the-dark stars and a moon. It looked like a kid’s ceiling.
She nudged him with her elbow, “Really? Glow-in-the-dark stickers?”
He shrugged then pointed out to one of the formations. It looked like a sword, “Yeah. I loved these things when I was a kid. I always wanted to be an astronaut and visit other planets and stuff. Even today, that’s still kind of my thing.”
“You’re twelve,” she commented.
“Twenty-eight,” he told her. “Sadly though, I never got to touch the stars.”
Selena sat up for a minute, finished her drink then placed the can down on the floor, beside the previous one. She then lay back down and snuggled in a little closer and told him, “I don’t really know what it is you do. I mean, I know you’re some big hot-shot since you live in this house and all but I don’t really know what you do.”
Tom turned to his side, drank a bit, and then placed his can down. He then lay down and turned to his side to face Selena, “I’m a programmer. I help make video games, actually.”
“You earned all this making video games?” Selena gave a genuine look of amazement. She then turned to her side just like he did and now they lay face-to-face.
He nodded back, “Yes. Games these days have budgets that can rival Hollywood movies. I got really good at coding. When I was in high school I wanted to make games because at least in a virtual sense I could still go to the stars. I made a game where the goal was to visit other planets and then make a community out of the natural resources and stuff like that. I don’t want to bore you with all the nerdy stuff.”
Selena smiled and bit her lower lip before she replied, “No, no, I like it.”
“Even the boring stuff?” he asked as he cupped her cheek with his hand. It felt warm.
“Especially the boring stuff,” she answered as she closed her eyes and nestled her face into his hand. “I only just met you but at least this way I get to know you for who you are. The real you, I mean, not the fancy rich guy everyone wants to be friends with outside this room.”
Tom stared back at her for the longest time she could imagine, without saying a single word. He just stared into her eyes and yet despite the silence she didn’t feel any bit awkward. Maybe it was the alcohol swirling in her or just the fact she was incredibly comfortable with him, she didn’t care.
Maybe that was what she felt when he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer. She scooted in and closed her eyes when she felt his lips suddenly land on hers.
Chapter Three
It was a soft kiss, brief and gentle. When their lips parted she opened her eyes and looked to find his staring right back. For a second she was unsure, as if a nudge of hesitance was tugging at her chest, but then it subsided when he leaned back in for another kiss and then another. With each kiss he planted she felt her breath taken away and she inched her body closer to him. As she did she felt his arms wrap around her little form.
His kisses became deeper, with pressure, and she felt her whole body seemingly crushed by his passion. She gave it up to him, allowing him to engulf her with each kiss and she opened to him, letting their tongues tie and dance as their bodies began to grind against each other in a slow and steady rhythm.
She could feel a warm knot in her chest begin to flare as they continued to kiss and his arms begin to roam across the expanse of her body. His fingertips danced wherever they travelled, gently caressing her as they glided from her back to her arms and to her waist.
Tom grabbed a hold of her and moved, positioning himself now on top of her. He was gentle, however, and careful to make sure she wasn’t uncomfortable underneath his weight. She bit her lip and looked up to him, stealing a look at the fire in his eyes before he dug back in and kissed her on the cheek. She shut her eyes and softly let out a moan when his lips found their way to her neck, just underneath her ear.
His hips began to grind steadily against her own and his body forced her to spread her legs and wrap them around his body. Underneath her short skirt she could feel her womanhood begin to heat and get wet as she felt his body rub against hers. His warm, lustful kisses descended down her neck and as they did she felt his groin push against hers – he was hard.
Selena’s hands combed through his hair and held tight as he bit down on her right breast. She let out a soft moan again and again right as his left hand began wandering to her other side, slowly massaging her breast in a circular motion.
Tom continued his decent, kissing and suckling on her flesh like a hungry animal down towards her tummy and even below that. When he got down to her skirt she let go of his hair and helped him undo the fastening on her clothes. Tom tossed the mini-skirt to the floor and rushed in to lick at her womanhood, shaved, warm and soaking in anticipation.
“F-fuck,” Selena uttered softly when she felt his mouth devour her pussy. Her legs tightened as he continued to dig into her hungrily. He didn’t stop and drilled his tongue deep into her flesh, letting it slide between th
e folds and into the inner walls. When she felt him dig in that deep she began to moan even louder and she tugged at his hair. She wanted him, she needed him now. She wanted to feel him ravage her and plunge himself deep into her.
Good thing was, Tom knew what she felt and moved back up, kissing her body as he did. She was going to remove her top but he grabbed her by the wrists and held them over her head as he slowly positioned himself. With his other hand he undid the buttons of his pants and he kicked them off.
Selena looked down and saw the anger in his member. It was thick, longer than any she had ever seen, and it was furiously stiff and hungry. She opened her legs and bit down on Tom’s neck as he grabbed a hold of her and slowly began to push himself into her.
The first plunge was a shock. It felt like an arrow piercing right through her flesh and she let out a soft yelp when he pulled back and pushed again. This time it penetrated deeper, pushing its way through the folds of her pussy. He pushed again and again, each time getting in deeper into her body. Each time the juices flowed more and he began to slide in easily and with comfort.
That didn’t mean it was entirely without struggle. She was much smaller than he was and her petite frame and his large cock meant she was tighter than expected. She could feel the walls of her flesh strangle his cock as it bore into her and she glimpsed for a moment to languish at the look of ecstasy bedazzled on his face.
Slowly they got into a steady rhythm and he began to pump into her faster and faster. His hands steadily gripped onto her waist but as they got into a more vicious cycle he took one of her hands and together they squeezed her breast, making her moan out even louder.
However, she didn’t want him to have all the fun. She pushed him off for a second and continued to press onto his chest until he was the one with his back on the bed. She smiled down as she sat on his lap and removed her top. Now she was in his full sight and she marveled at the way he looked at her as she lifted her body up, grabbed his cock and helped it find its way into her.
Gently, she began to bounce on top of his cock. She could feel the cheeks of her bottom as they slapped against his thighs. In this position, however, his cock was in full force as it pushed into her body and she shut her eyes as she quickly began to lose her mind. Soon enough she was sliding up and down in succession with his hands gripping tightly on her breasts. He would sometimes squeeze down on her nipples and twist, making her shout out and moan even more.
In minutes she began to sway her body, almost like giving a lap dance, grinding her body against his. His fingertips traced the outline of her form until eventually he had one hand massaging her breast and the other slowly circling above her womanhood.
Selena could feel the knot in her gut and chest begin to pulsate and she knew she was reaching her peak. She began to pump herself up and down in a faster rhythm, allowing his member to thrust in deep into her flesh and soon enough she began losing herself to the moment. She was moaning, her eyes shut, and her whole body began to tense.
When she came, her whole body shuddered for a fleeting moment and soon she felt all her strength leave her. It felt relaxing, soothing and she knew she wanted more. Fortunately for her, so did Tom.
He turned her over, keeping her down on her knees and elbows. With his hands on her waist, he penetrated from behind and in this position she could feel the enormity of his cock as it parted her flesh and dug deep inside of her. With each thrust she felt her bottom slap against his thighs and his grip on her waist got tighter as he began to go faster and deeper.
“Fuck me,” she moaned out when she felt his cock thrust in again and again. “F-fuck me!”
Tom took her hair with one hand and yanked, keeping her head up, and continued to pull as he pounded into her angrily and excitedly. It did not take long in this manner for her to feel him tense and soon enough he was ready to explode.
Tom pulled out and immediately Selena turned around to take his warm member into her mouth. She felt his hands push down on her head and she took him willingly, right as he blew his load into her mouth.
It was warm, thick and yet satisfyingly salty and sweet in a strange manner. When she had cleaned him with her mouth and tongue she looked up at him and Tom had a wicked smile on his face. It was that smile that stuck in her mind, long after the hour had passed.
Chapter Four
“Thanks,” Selena told Tom as he saw her, Ayesha and May out of his house. It was three in the morning and most of the guests had already left. The few who remained had been spending time at the pool.
Tom gave her a kiss on the cheek, “I’ll see you tomorrow then. I mean, later, I guess. After lunch.”
“I’ll call you,” she replied and then shut the door.
Both Ayesha and May gave her a look of pride.
“Don’t even fucking say it,” Selena told them both as they began their way to the street and to their cars.
“You slept with Tom Sellick,” May said as if it was the most glorious thing in her life. Her eyes were wide with astonishment.
Ayesha seemed the same way too, which Selena found strange given that just an hour ago Ayesha was fucking David’s friend Gary inside the bathroom. “Was he any good?” Ayesha had to ask.
“I’m not saying anything,” Selena wouldn’t give them that satisfaction.
“You should be careful though,” May warned as they were getting out of the front garden and through the gates. “That is Tom Sellick, after all.”
Selena didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”
“Sellick’s a playboy,” May answered. Her tone had a sarcastic ring to it as if everyone already knew. “He screwed Jessica over like a few months ago then went to Thailand where they said he fucked around with not one, not two but four different girls.”
‘He didn’t seem that way,’ Selena pondered to herself in silence. She then shrugged and replied, “I can take care of myself.”
“He’ll use you then dump you,” Ayesha said but she had a happy look on her face. “Who cares, though? You got to sleep with a billionaire, at least for a night, so it doesn’t really fucking matter, right?”
They finally got to Selena’s car, which was parked the closest. She opened the door and before she got in she turned to her friends and asked, “Wait, before you guys go, do you think I should call him later? I mean, will it seem like I’m desperate or something? You think he knows that I know about him being a playboy?”
“Girl, every rich playboy knows that everyone knows they’re a player,” May answered. “That’s why they keep playing since they don’t really care anymore about public opinion. Look, if you want to hang out with him later go call him. If he dumps you, it ain’t your loss. He ain’t going to find another ass like yours.”
“Truth,” Ayesha agreed.
Selena had a smile from ear to ear. She loved these two despite how naughty and irresponsible they could be. She waved good-bye and gave them a wink before getting into her car and driving off.
It was a quieter, more contemplative drive than the one she took getting there. There were fewer cars on the road at this hour and the dead silence gave her space to think about what she just did back there.
‘I slept with Tom Sellick,’ she thought. ‘He must think I’m just another one of those sluts he fucked with in Thailand or whatever. I just met the guy and there I was getting drunk and stupid and I let him fuck me like that. What the hell was I thinking?’
She shook the thought out of her head. She knew she was over-thinking the matter. Tom didn’t show any sign of being a bad boy during the whole time they were together. He seemed like a really nice, really polite guy who was gentle when needed and rough when the time called for it. She never felt scared or worried with him in that room, even after they had sex.
However, she did recall that glimmer in his eyes and the wicked smile he had on. That was not the look of a shy, gentleman. She saw the fire burning in him.
“I can play with fire,” S
elena whispered to herself as she decided to drown out her thoughts with music. She lost herself in the beat and kept this peace of mind intact all the way back to her home.
When she was finally back in her apartment Selena didn’t even bother to undress. She just tossed her bag to the floor and plopped herself on the couch. She was still slightly tipsy and she could still feel the aftermath of her time with Tom aching all over her body. It was a good kind of ache, however, and it put a crack of a smile on her face before she finally fell asleep.
***
It was ten-thirty in the morning when she woke up. The sunlight pierced through the open curtains of her living room window and she struggled to get back up. Grogginess was overwhelming her but she knew she had to get moving.
After getting some music playing in the house she took a shower and made some brunch. There was almost nothing left in the fridge so she settled for pancakes and a strawberry tart. She still had some soft drinks left but they were all the weird-tasting grape soda May bought last week. It was better than having nothing though so she didn’t complain.
There was still time before she had to leave so Selena settled in to her room, opened her laptop and browsed online on Facebook. Ayesha had posted some of their photos from last night. There were a lot of stupid photos like when Ayesha and May were flirting with David and his buddies in the solar and by the pool. She also saw a photo of May trying her best to win at beer pong. Fortunately, Ayesha also had a picture of Tom.
Digging in, Selena clicked on it and scoured to find Tom’s Facebook profile. As expected it wasn’t as loud and as extravagant as her friends made it out to be. Most of Tom’s posts and photos were related to work so there were a lot of geeky images about video games and entertainment news. There was the occasional picture of him hanging out with friends and a girl she figured to be his cousin based on the captions.
She found a picture of him hanging out with his mom and dad. It was only at this point she discovered his parents were separated. His father was apparently living in New York and his mom was down in Florida. So why was he here all alone?
