“The word more barely begins to explain what I felt.” Roni said as she continued to look into his eyes. “I like feeling… more.” She said as an afterthought.
“Me too.” Derek smiled. He chastely kissed her before he brought the covers over them. “Sleep now my sweet Roni.”
With that they stayed cuddled close together as they fell asleep. Roni fell into a deep sleep. Filled with dreams of Derek and their future together.
Chapter Twenty
Roni woke the next morning, alone in bed. She pulled the sheets up to cover her naked body as she sat up in bed. This was the first look she was getting of his room. Like his office it lacked personal touches. There were no knickknacks lying about. The curtains and bed coverings were a boring beige. The expensive dark oak nightstands were also baron. Each holding only a wrought iron lamp. The matching dresser sat against the farthest wall. Once again the items on the dresser were practical not decorative.
She thought back to the decorations in his home. Again, all the items in the living room, dining room and kitchen were all practical. A basket on the coffee table to hold the remotes, a charging station for his phone in the kitchen. Nothing personal, no clutter anywhere. Her place must drive him up a wall. She had junk everywhere. Her dresser had framed pictures of her family and friends. Her night stand held magazines and books. Even her walls, painted a pale blue, had more personality than his. She was going to have to ask him what he had against color.
Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t hear the bedroom door open. “You’re awake.” Derek walked into the boring master bedroom wearing only his pajama bottoms. All thoughts of his lack of décor left her head. He had an amazing body. She could spend years tracing the outline of his ab muscles with her tongue. “Should I do a strip tease for you?” Derek said, arching an eyebrow at her. Obviously she had been staring a little too long.
“Maybe. After all, you seem to have me beat in the clothing department.” Roni pushed the covers off her body to prove her point to him.
He stalked closer to the bed, losing the pajama bottoms as he went. “I would hate for you to feel overdressed.”
“Do you always go commando?” Roni said as he crawled onto the bed next to her.
“Mostly yes.” He pulled her onto him so that she was straddling him. “Look, we are back to the position we met in. I like this position.” Derek’s voice had dropped several octaves. She loved that voice.
“Ah yes, I remember well.” Smiling, she wiggled her ass on his crotch. “Last time I did that move you practically threw me off of yourself.” She moved again for emphasis. “You’re not planning on throwing me off again are you?” This time when she finished speaking, she leaned down, kissing his chest moving up to his neck. Ending by sucking his earlobe into her mouth.
“Mmmm, no I have no plans of throwing you off me this time, last time I was just being polite.” His hands rested on her hips, his thumbs stroking her hip bone.
Roni sat up, looking at him in total confusion. “Polite? Throwing me off of you was polite?”
“Why yes, it was the politest thing I could have done. After all, we hadn’t even exchanged names, so I didn’t want you to feel this.” He pushed his now hard cock up against her wet sex to accentuate his meaning.
Roni giggled. Caressed his bare chest. “So my molesting you that day and grinding against you like this,” Roni slid his dick between the lips of her sex, “made you hard?”
“Oh God, yes.” His hands were now gently stroking her breasts. He watched his hands on her intently as he continued to speak. “You have no idea the effect you have on me. There were days I would leave Starbucks hard from only watching you drink your tea. I would stand there watching you wrap your lips around the cup wondering what it would feel like to have your lips wrapped around my cock.”
“So all this time I thought you never even noticed me, and in reality you were picturing us doing very naughty things together?” She tried to play it off like she was offended. That was difficult to pull off when she was rubbing her hands all over his body.
He tore his eyes from her breast and gave her a skeptical look. “Are you honestly going to tell me that in all those months you never once had a dirty thought about me while at Starbucks?”
Roni smiled, removed his hands from her breast, placing them above his head as she leaned in to whisper in his ear. “Funny thing is you and I had the same naughty thought.” His head rolled back and he groaned. “Now sit there like a good boy while I live out my naughty thoughts using your body.” With that, she slid down his body until her face was in his crotch. She looked up with a smile. “I like the manscaping.”
He didn’t even get a chance to respond before her hand encircled his cock. He let out a low moan. Roni kissed the head of his penis darting her tongue out briefly. She began to jack him lightly at the base of his cock while she licked him from root to tip. Giving him one last mischievous look before she took him into her mouth in one swallow. “Oh Christ Roni!” Derek practically yelled out.
Roni was the rare girl who enjoyed giving head. She thought that because she enjoyed performing the act, it made her better at giving a blow job. She slid her mouth slowly up and down his granite cock, feeling it grow even more as she sucked harder. He was simply too big for her to try and deep throat him. Instead, she used her tongue to lick along the underside of him as she simultaneously sucked and jerked him.
His hands were now in her hair, the pressure he gripped her with was perfect. Not forceful but not gentle. That led to her moan around him. “Fuck Roni. Oh, that feels amazing.” She couldn’t help herself, she slid her free hand down between her legs to play with her clit. “Are you playing with yourself?” She answered with another moan. “This is too naughty thoughts coming true in one act.” His hands tightened in her hair, while she worked her clit faster.
Suddenly he pulled her off his cock and pulled her up to him. He kissed her. No, that was not accurate, he fucked her mouth with his tongue. Breaking the kiss, he spoke. “I want you to be riding me, hard, when I come.” Derek leaned over grabbing a condom. She lifted up so he could put on the latex barrier. Seconds later he was entering her in one thrust. “I’m not going to last long after that blow job. So let’s get you to the edge quickly.”
Her hand went back to her clit as he pinched her nipples. She rode him hard and fast. It didn’t take long for her to get to the point he was at. “Now Derek. Come with me.” She slammed down on him two more times before they both cried out in orgasmic bliss. Her body falling on his in a mix of ecstasy and exhaustion.

Derek returned from depositing the condom in the trash. He crawled back into bed. He cuddled next to her, inhaling her intoxicating scent. “I enjoy spending the morning in bed with you.” Derek said while he tenderly played with her hair.
“What time did you get up this morning? What did you do while I was sleeping?” Roni asked in response. An innocent question, still one he was reluctant to answer. Derek wasn’t sure how she would react to the fact that once she fell into a deep sleep, he had grabbed his laptop and worked. First, he worked next to her in bed. Then he felt as though the light from his laptop was disturbing her, plus she moved around a lot, so he moved to work in his home office.
“Derek?” She spoke it softly as though she thought he may have fallen asleep.
Derek briefly thought about feigning sleep. Instead, he decided to tell her the truth. He spoke gently as he continued to toy with her hair. “As you know I don’t sleep much. Normally I only sleep around four hours a night. Once you were asleep, I stayed watching you sleep. However, once you pushed me away,” he smiled at her “I grabbed my laptop and worked for a bit here in bed.”
“Ok, but you must have gone to work in your home office since you weren’t in bed?”
“Yes, I did.” Derek confessed. Knowing he was about to get yelled at for leaving her alone. Women expected men to stay the entire night cuddling in bed with them after mind blowing sex.
“Show me.” Was all she said in responded.
“I’m sorry, show you what?” Derek was seriously confused.
Roni jumped out of bed starting to pull on her clothes. He had brought their shirts into the bedroom earlier. “Show me your work, your home office.” She smiled at him.
Derek followed her lead, pulling on his pajama bottoms. “You’re not mad?”
“Why would I be mad? I like my sleep, you don’t. You made the best of your free time. Plus, I am a blanket and bed hog. So it was a win-win situation.”
He was dumbfounded. “Ok well then let me show you what I did.” He led her down the hall through the living room and into his home office. He heard a small gasp behind him as she walked into his office.
“So you do have a décor personality.”
Her statement baffled him. “Um, what?”
Roni shook her head, smiling. “Your house and your other office are clutter free. Done all in beige. This room, this is you.” Her smile grew.
He looked around his home office. He never showed anyone his home office. It was decorated in all his beloved nerd paraphernalia. Mostly Star Wars toys. Some he had spent a small fortune on to obtain. Displayed on the shelves around his office were all his figures and ships. His most prized ones, sat behind his desk in a glass case. “I know it is extremely nerdy.” Self-deprecation was his go to reaction.
“Yes, it is. But I love it! I haven’t seen any of these since I was a kid. This collection is amazing. Is that a stuffed Ewok?” Her eyes lit up when she saw that particular piece of his collection.
Derek laughed in relief. “Yes, that one took me a long time to find in good condition. It is one of my favorite pieces in the collection.”
“They were my favorite. They looked all cute and cuddly, but they could kick some Empire ass when needed. Why do you hide all of this in here? The rest of the space you occupy is so controlled and frankly boring. This is who you really are. It has life to it, personality. You should take part of this collection to the office or put it in the living room.” Roni said in pure excitement as she looked at each and every piece in his collection.
“I don’t like people to know that I am into this childish stuff. This is something I do for me and me alone. Actually, except for Alex and Caroline you are the first person to see my home office.” He had always been reluctant to share his nerd side with anyone beyond Alex and his sister. They were his family, they had always accepted him no matter how severely he geeked out on them.
“Again, I think you need to tell your inner teenage nerd to calm down and enjoy what he became.” She paused in thought. “You know what your problem is Derek?”
That caught his attention. “And what is my problem?”
“You haven’t realized that this stuff,” she waved her hands around the room, “is now considered cool. Haven’t you heard of geek chic? Well, that is what you are. Look at you, you look like a Greek God and you have the intelligence of Einstein. Plus, you don’t have the ego to go with that package. Which makes you one incredible sexy man.” During her naughty camp counselor self-esteem raising speech, Roni had stalked closer to him. She was now toe to toe with him. She looked into his eyes. “In case you haven’t noticed a lot of people think you are great, including me.”
Derek smiled down at her, pulling her into his embrace. “I have to say that I liked your speech. However, I do have the ego. At least when it comes to my computer skills. I am the best at what I do, it is the rest of life I am still working on.”
“I have a great idea. Let’s spend the rest of the day cuddled on the couch watching all of the Star Wars movies.” Roni said, clapping her hands to his chest, bouncing on her heels. She was adorable. How could he say no?
“Sounds like a great way to spend the day. I will grab the movies, you go grab some pillows and snacks. We can order in later.” He had more work he should finish today, but for the first time in a decade, he was going to blow off work to spend the day relaxing.
“Oh, this is going to be fun!” Roni kissed his cheek before bouncing out of the room in search of movie supplies.
Minutes later they were snuggled together on the couch under blankets with Episode I, playing on the TV. Derek was surprised to see, just how excited she was to watch these movies. Clearly she was not doing this to appease him or make him feel better. No, Roni was repeating the lines in time with the characters which told him inside the blonde bombshell was a diehard Star Wars fan. Derek liked her even more in that moment if that was at all possible.
Chapter Twenty-One
Roni awoke Monday morning with the biggest smile on her face. After the Star Wars marathon yesterday she had reluctantly gone home for the night. Even though Derek insisted she could stay, she had to come home. After all, she couldn’t wear her jammies to work, and that was all she had at Derek’s house.
Roni stretched, feeling sore in all the right places, then looked at the clock. Perfect! She had set her alarm extra early wanting to beat Derek to the office to surprise him with breakfast. She bounced out of bed. It was amazing what a day of Star Wars and great sex could do to a person’s mood. Rushing through her shower and morning beauty routine she was out the door in under an hour.
She pulled into the Starbucks parking lot. She smiled to herself. Oh where it all began. Pulled the door of the café open with one hand, and searched in her purse for her chirping cell phone with the other. As always, she was not paying attention to the world around her and ran into the back of the person in line in front of her. “Oh, I am so sorry.” A statement that she uttered at least a hundred times a day it seemed. Looking up she realized she had wasted the apology.
“Clumsy Barbie strikes again.” Alex spoke with laughter.
“Good morning Super Asshole. How are you this fine morning?” She retaliated.
He placed his hand over his heart in mock shock. “Such foul language so early in the morning. Don’t you know the unspoken rule of cursing is no bad words before coffee?”
She laughed. “I bet you break that rule every morning.” Her phone chirped.
“Not every morning, but most. So, since I didn’t hear a word from Derek all day yesterday I was assuming you two kissed and made up.” Alex said with a little eyebrow wiggle thrown in for good measure.
“Yes, as a matter of fact, II did forgive him. I think I even convinced him to act more human at work.” She knew that even though her words came out in a normal tone she was still blushing over how many times they made up.
Alex’s laughter was loud and from the gut. “By the red of your cheeks, I am assuming it was a marathon make out I mean make up session.”
“Wow, what are you sixteen? A lady never kisses and tells.” She quipped back.
“No problem because guys love to kiss and tell. And embellish a little here and there.” He smiled. “Are you trying to beat D into the office? Bribe him with coffee?”
“Yes, and although I am not sure coffee is a bribe I will still say yes.”
“Too late. I got a text from him about an hour ago saying he was already in the office.” He smiled again. She kind of wished Izzy was with her so she could smack that smile right off of his perfect face.
She looked at her watch. “Fuck a duck. It is only 6:30 in the morning what time did he get to the office? I was sure I had him beat.” Again her phone chirped at her.
“Again with the cursing before coffee. I may have to speak to your boss about that mouth of yours.” After that his smile fell. Serious Alex, Roni already knew, was a rare occurrence. Therefore, serious Alex should be taken, well, seriously. “I want to talk to you about Friday. I know you two have talked, but I feel the need to explain Derek a little. Let’s grab a coffee and sit for a few minutes before heading into the office.” He must have seen the hesitation in her face because he added. “Please Roni.”
“Ok, but just for a few minutes. I have a lot to do today. I know the position is only temporary, but at the same time I don’t want Jemma
to be behind when she comes back.” They ordered their drinks and sat down at one of the empty tables in the back of the café.
Alex looked down at his coffee for a few minutes before running his hands through his hair in a frustrated gesture. He finally settled his hands on the table. “Ok, I have known Derek since we we’re three and I pushed him down and took his toy the first day of preschool. You see, Derek has always been intense, focused, and nerdy. After I took his toy that first day. He didn’t even try to get it back. He sat on the ground not crying or telling on me. At that moment I knew he may be nerdy but he was tough. So I took him under my wing. Made sure no one else picked on him. It stayed like that throughout high school and part of college.”
“Yeah, I knew you had met in preschool, I didn’t know you met because you bullied him.” Roni was wondering where Alex was going with all of this. Plus her phone had been chirping away, alerting her to incoming texts. At this hour it could only be Derek.
“Well, I made him less nerdy and he made me less of an asshole.” He smiled at her. He held up his hand to halt the smart ass comment that was already on the tip of her tongue. “Anyway, you see Derek has never really had anyone in his life besides C and me. We know he works too hard. We know his work is his world and have accepted being secondary. He has lived in his work bubble for a long time Roni. Friday was just an example of what happens when that bubble is jeopardized. He needs balance. You are the only person I have ever seen him let close enough to give him that balance. To break that bubble and make him a real person.” He once again ran his hands through his hair.
“Ok Alex. I know that I am not the first girl to be in his life. And I can see you are concerned and beating around the bush about something. It is very early in the morning and my brain is still slowly coming online. How about you tell me what you are so worried about so we can get to the office?” Roni knew she was being abrupt with Alex but she wanted to hurry this along so she could see Derek.
