He stopped at the counter. “Dana, I’m so very sorry about what happened here. I see you cleaned. I would have come over to help, but you didn’t call.” He scanned the room. “The place looks good…considering what happened.” He sounded penitent.
Dana sighed. “It was a big job and I’m still not done. I didn’t call because I was very angry.”
“I understand. You had every right to feel that way. I hope someday you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me.” His deep brown eyes looked so sad that a lump formed in her throat.
To the left on the counter sat a vase of wilted flowers. He nodded to them. “I see you still have the flowers I sent.”
She groaned. He would notice the one thing she meant to discard, but forgot during her last visit to the store. She still wasn’t prepared to reopen for business, so it wasn’t something that she needed to accomplish immediately as there were so many other things to attend to first.
“Look, I know you sent the flowers to get me to call you, but I didn’t want to speak to you then,” she said as they entered the back room. She reached for the light switch, but he put his hand over it to prevent her from turning on the lights.
“Leave them off for now, please.”
She didn’t like the romantic ambiance he was trying to establish, but she acquiesced to his request for the time being.
He pulled her into his embrace and leaned her against the wall. Smoothing back her hair from her forehead, he said, “Why didn’t you return my calls? You just shut me out. Trace confessed to me that he told you untruths so he could confuse you, but I thought you’d at least give me a chance to defend myself. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you ever since we parted.” His face was very close, his lips hovering over hers.
She turned her face from him so he wouldn’t try to kiss her. “Trevor, please, I don’t want to discuss this now.”
He grabbed her upper arms and squeezed. “But I do. It’s important to me that you know the truth.”
His proximity made it difficult to think. “You said you wanted to discuss the store. Can we just focus on that topic?”
He released her arms. “Not yet. We’re not finished with this discussion. I want to make sure you know everything.”
Dana realized Trevor wasn’t going to make it easy on her. Already her pulse spiked. She licked her lips and looked around nervously.
“Trevor, Trace told me about Serena.”
He shook his head. “I know. But did he tell you that she killed herself because of him?”
Her eyes widened. “What?”
“Yes, it’s true that Serena started out as my girlfriend. But Trace stole her from me. She didn’t realize that he was a major player and he was very upset when she told him she was pregnant. She thought he’d marry her, but he didn’t want to get tied down to one woman. Instead he told her to get an abortion. She was so distraught that she came to me to ask for my help. I tried to convince Trace that what he had done was wrong, but he couldn’t care less. She was so distressed that she jumped to her death.”
“But he told me you were the womanizer and the one Serena loved.”
Trevor laughed. “That sounds like something Trace would say. Dana, Trace has ruined every relationship I’ve ever had. He’s been trying to come between us since the day he met you because he wants me to go back into modeling with him. I turned him down and that’s why he hates me. That’s why I told you to stay away from him.”
“Oh Trevor, I didn’t know.”
“Now you do.”
“Yes.” She swallowed hard. When he lowered his head to kiss her, she turned aside once again.
“Okay, what’s the matter? You didn’t fall for Trace, did you?”
She laughed nervously. “No.”
“Are you sure? I know he’s very persuasive with women.”
“He tried, but didn’t succeed. He’s not you, Trevor. It really irritated him that I was developing strong feelings for you, so he was doing everything he could to try to confuse me.”
“He won’t be doing that anymore. He left me a note saying that he took a plane to Venice yesterday and won’t be coming back. I guess he finally got the message that I don’t care anymore. He’s costing me a pretty penny to get rid of a legal situation that he stirred up, but that will soon be settled. Then I can get on with my life. The only thing I’m concerned about is that he didn’t do irreparable damage to our relationship. What do you say, Dana, will you give us another try?”
In the semidarkness, she could still make out his features. Though his expression was sad and serious, he was so handsome that it took her breath away.
“Can I think about it?”
“What’s there to think about? Am I not attractive to you anymore because I’m temporarily missing a front tooth?”
Dana sighed. “No. Actually, you’re still very hard to resist.” His body was pressed against hers so snug that she could feel his heartbeat against her breast and the warmth of his breath against her cheek.
“Well, that’s good to know. So what’s holding you back? I want you to be my woman.”
Dana swallowed hard. She knew it would be difficult to refuse him. And with her libido kicked into overdrive just looking at him, she realized that her chance of surviving with her heart intact was one in a million.
“I’m afraid of being hurt again. You’re an extremely attractive man and I have a problem with trust,” she confessed. Her heart pounded so loud in her chest that she swore he could hear it.
He pulled back, stunned at her revelation. “Dana, please believe me when I say that I would never hurt you. We may not know each other that well, but I’m telling you the truth, honestly.”
A tear escaped and trickled down her cheek. He caught it with the tip of his forefinger.
“I don’t know what happened to make you feel this insecure, but it bothers me that you’re upset. All I ask is a chance to prove myself. Please give me that opportunity.”
She sniffled in the darkness. She wanted to believe him, wanted him to be the one who she could count on.
He hugged her tightly.
“Dana, you’re an amazing woman. I admire you. Believe me, I’d never do anything to hurt you or try to take anything from you. I promise to stick by your side no matter what comes our way. Please say you’ll give us a chance.”
His sincere pleading hit an emotional chord. Hot tears flowed down her cheeks.
“Shhh. It’ll be all right. I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere. You see, I’ve fallen in love with you.” He brushed away her tears with his thumbs.
Her heart nearly broke with his revelation. Could that possibly be true? She had hoped he would fall for her, because he had worked his way into her heart with his sweet talk and caring ways.
“I was falling for you too, before this whole mess with Trace. It’s crazy, because I don’t know you that well, but I swear it feels real. Though it scares me to say so, I like this feeling. But please understand that it’s going to take time for me to trust again. I’m willing to try if you are.”
Trevor relaxed and leaned his head against her forehead. He sighed heavily. “Thank you. I can work with that. I was holding my breath, afraid you’d say no. You won’t regret this, I promise.” His words were a balm to her fragile feelings.
His lips possessed hers in a kiss that packed powerful emotion. She sensed his intensity and the depth of his love by the way his tongue delved into her mouth to dance with hers. Though he had kissed her before, this one was special, filled with love and tenderness. It lingered on and on, giving and taking until she was weak in the knees. Dana had never experienced such affection in her entire life.
Desire roared to life inside her like a hungry lion. It was time to forgive and forget. Dana no longer wished to stifle her natural inclination to show him how much she cared for him. With a heart unburdened by the fear of being hurt, she finally felt free.
She grasped the bottom of his shirt and unbuttoned each button slowly. A hesit
ant smile creased his lips and grew steadily wider as she got closer to the top. Slipping her hands beneath the silky soft shirt, she eased it off his shoulders and let it drop in a soft pile at his feet. Though his body was shadowed in dim light, she could see the outline of his broad shoulders and the bulge of muscles on his arms.
She traced the fine hairs on his chest and slid over the ridges of his tight abdomen, all the way down to the top of his pants. As she slipped her fingers inside to release the button and zipper, she heard his deep intake of breath. He let her explore without making a move of his own. In the silence of the workroom, she heard every notch of the zipper as she lowered it. When his pants tumbled down his legs, she saw his manhood greet her, stiff and erect. He kicked both his pants and shirt aside.
“Do you like what you see?” he said, his voice thick with arousal.
She wrapped her hand around his swollen cock and stroked upward, twisting and massaging as she went. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back.
“Always!”
Growling his impatience, he grabbed a fistful of her sweater and pulled it up over her head. She shook her hair back in place and smiled at him. Slipping her bra straps off her shoulders, she turned around so he could unfasten it. He took her cue and released the snaps. Warm hands worked up her sides and stroked the outer edges of her breasts, then slipped around to grasp a handful. The moment he pinched her nipples, she gasped and leaned her head against his shoulder, moaning softly. He continued kneading the soft mounds while she rocked her hips back and forth against his shaft.
Kisses started at her shoulder and worked their way up to her earlobe where his warm breath brushed against her skin. “You’re so sexy,” he said. Her clit jumped in response to the compliment.
“So are you.”
Dana reached back to grasp his hips, feeling the muscles moving as he rotated against her. They swayed to unheard music as their erotic dance heightened the friction between their bodies. A fire flared low and spread throughout her body as his one arm trapped her breast and the other hand flowed down the valley of her abdomen to the top of her slacks. Bypassing her button and zipper, his hand slid under the material into the thick curls at the apex of her legs. Goose bumps rose on her skin as the cool temperature of the room contrasted with the heat of his hand.
“Take these off,” he said and she reached down to release the catch and the slacks slid down her legs. She wore a skimpy thong that she pushed down also.
His hand never left the warm cleft between her legs. When his fingers touched the sensitive nub, she cried out. Her body stiffened for a moment as all thought focused on the sensation of his fingers probing between her pussy lips into the innermost part of her femininity. Her body responded by lubricating his fingers and dripped liquid heat down her legs. If he didn’t realize it by now, she was a raging wildfire and soon he would be caught up in her firestorm. There was no holding back, she was primed and ready for anything he could give her.
He twisted her to face him, lifting her leg upon his hip. His turgid cock pressed against her pussy which puckered like a little mouth kissing the tip of his penis. Though her back was to the cool metal wall, she didn’t notice the chill. Her attention focused on her inner muscles quivering to wrap around his thick cock. Her nipples peaked against his chest as her breath came in deep rasps.
His gaze locked with hers as he plunged deep inside her, digging his fingers into the soft flesh of her hips. Her cry of ecstasy reverberated against the walls. His intensity was written in his face and the droplets of sweat covering his forehead.
“That’s it, give it to me,” Trevor whispered in her ear as he pumped against her. His manly scent mingled with musky sex and sweet chocolate.
She dug her nails into his shoulders, closing her eyes to concentrate on the movements, which rocked her world. It seemed like it had been ages since she indulged in wild abandon, taking pleasure in the animalistic rhythm of mating. His rod struck her sweet spot, and she gasped as her core vibrated against him.
Lips, urgent and searching pressed against hers, his tongue seeking to mate with her tongue as feverishly as his cock strove to take her to the edge of all reason. She was once again on sensation overload with every nerve ending lit like a firecracker ready to explode overhead on the Fourth of July.
“I’m going to come soon!” she managed to say as her breaths became jagged.
“No, don’t, not yet. Wait for me.”
“I don’t think I can.”
“I have an idea.” He slipped out of her wet channel and she almost cried from the abrupt dismount.
Trevor grabbed one of her newest creations, the twisty sucker penis, from the drying rack. It was eight inches long and two inches wide of colorful twisted sucker that ended in a mushroom top. She watched him lick it wickedly with his tongue, wetting the top, wondering what in the world he was doing. Was he going to finish what he started? Her pussy quivered in anticipation. When he bent down on one knee between her legs, she thought he would rub the sucker over her lips to give her a sugary taste, but that wasn’t his intention. He pressed it against her entrance before sliding it inside her sheath.
The candy slid easily along her juices and filled her vagina with strange new sensations. He twisted it around and pulled it in and out of her, mimicking his own thrusts just minutes ago. Though she preferred the hard, male cock because of its warmth, she discovered that the candy turned her on more than she had anticipated. She leaned back and closed her eyes to enjoy the ribbed edges of the candy, which played havoc with her very stimulated inner muscles. Each time Trevor pulled it out completely, it made a slight sucking noise.
“Oh my!”
“You like?” He came up to kiss her.
“Definitely.”
“Haven’t you ever tried your candy toys?”
“No, I didn’t expect them to be actual toys, just novelty candies.”
“I think you’ve just made a fascinating discovery.”
“Yes,” she said breathlessly as he continued to work the candy in and out.
“Hmm, what have we here?” Trevor said with a snicker. He stopped pumping her insides with the candy sucker and set it aside.
When she opened her eyes, Trevor was smearing melted chocolate on her nipples. She giggled as the chocolate dripped down the sides of her breasts and Trevor chased it with his tongue, following it back up to the tips of her nipples, which he sucked to ensure he had retrieved every drop.
Dana loved the candy play, but wanted to feel the release that had been building. She wrapped her right leg around his waist, trapping his chest against hers. Looking deeply into his eyes, she wiggled her mound against his erection.
“I’ve got a treat for you too.”
“Really?”
“Uh huh, but you have to stop what you’re doing and close your eyes.”
He did as requested and a smile crossed his lips. She reached over to get some chocolate.
“You can open your eyes now.”
He did so and stared at her mouth covered in chocolate. She gave him a very messy kiss, smearing the chocolate beyond his lips, then licking it with her tongue. Her hot, wet pussy brushed against the tip of his cock and he bucked against her until it slipped into her sheath. This time, she was in charge of the tempo and depth. When he buried himself deep inside, her inner muscles clenched tightly around his cock. His eyes grew wide and he smiled while rising up against her.
She picked up a licorice whip and flicked it back and forth against his chest. His nipples raised into tiny bumps in response to her flogging. He moaned and Dana knew he was enjoying the playful punishment as much as she enjoyed administering it.
“You’ve been a bad boy. I wanted to come, but you wouldn’t let me. Now I’m not taking ‘no’ for an answer.”
She lifted a breast to his mouth. He suckled on it while pumping with an increasing pace into her core. No longer playing, they reached a fevered pitch and she groaned as his entire body stiffened and he dov
e deeply into her. Her muscles latched on to his cock, vibrating against him. She too gritted her teeth and suddenly exploded against him. He pulled out just in time to spew his cum against her belly.
Collapsing against his chest, she breathed heavily until her pounding heart slowed to a natural beat. His chest rose and fell with exaggerated breaths until he too came down from the high they had just experienced.
“Oh, that was the sweetest thing I’ve ever done,” he said to her while running his hand through her hair.
“I agree. I really enjoyed that.”
“We should do it again and again and again.” She smiled wickedly.
“Right this minute?”
Dana flicked her tongue across his top lip. “As soon as possible.”
“Well, give me a few minutes to recuperate and I’ll be your willing partner.”
“We’re good at merging, aren’t we?”
His chuckle rumbled in his chest. “That’s one way of putting it.”
She ran her fingers through his chest hair, drawing circles around his areolas.
“You know, that’s not a bad idea.” His expression became very serious.
“What?” She smiled hesitantly at him.
“A merger.”
She looked at him quizzically. “What are we talking about here? Sex or business?”
“Actually, this is why I asked you to meet me here. I was thinking that after what happened you might need some assistance, whether it’s financial or in restocking the store. I’ve got some employees who can work here so you don’t have to stay here late at night to get caught up. I know you pride yourself on being a one-woman show, but you could use some help.”
Dana sighed and looked around the room. Yes, she loved the store, loved creating her unusual candy pieces. She didn’t mind spending almost every waking hour in the shop. She had made a very large investment in her dream and devoted most of her resources to seeing it come to fruition.
“I don’t know what to say. Your offer seems too good to be true.”
“Say yes.”
Dana hugged him and sobbed into his neck. “Oh my God! That would be so wonderful. Thank you so much!”
