Room Service

by Chance Carter

  This time James did chuckle.

  “I’m fucking serious, James,” Billy growled, not impressed by the insensitivity his partner was showing.

  “Oh, just relax, William, I’ll take care of it,” James chided, a little more condescending than Billy liked. “If I didn’t know you better, William, I would think you were smitten.”

  He chuckled.

  “Well you do know me better, James, and no one says smitten anymore,” Billy responded glibly, ready to end the conversation.

  James laughed again, clearly appreciating Billy’s reply.

  “I’ll be in touch next week,” he said, hanging up his cell.

  He picked up his burner phone, the one reserved just for Alice, and read the text that chimed in while he was in the bank. His heart hammered in his chest and he slammed his hand against the steering wheel several times.

  He read the text again.

  Thank you for everything, Billy. I couldn’t do any of this without you.

  As he was mentally berating himself for being such a jerk, a second text came through.

  How about I saddle up the horses and we go for a sunset ride?

  Billy reread both messages and shook his head at the sheer irony.

  Chapter 19

  Alice

  After Alice tucked Amy in for the night, she left her with Lisa and made her way down to the barn. She tacked up both Sadie and Donald, packing the saddle bags with everything they needed and slipping a large blanket into one bag and a flask of wine with two plastic cups in the other. She planned for them to ride the horses west, toward the coast, and watch the sunset on the beach together.

  It was the most romantic location on her property. In fact, it was where her father had proposed to her mother all those years ago. Once she had the ranch up and running as a resort, she planned to build a gazebo on the exact spot. It would be a perfect location for beach weddings. The photographs would be spectacular! Even when the tide was in, this particular spot was protected from the surf. She couldn’t wait to share that with Billy.

  She was re-checking the cinch straps on both horses when Billy came in, freshly showered. He had picked a daisy which he handed to her as soon as he was within reach. Alice blushed at the sweet gesture.

  “I was told once that daisies represent loyalty,” Alice shared, tucking the flower behind her ear.

  Billy dropped his eyes for a moment, a gesture Alice chalked up to modesty. She gave him a small peck on his cheek but he quickly pulled her into his arms, crushing his lips against hers. Alice felt an intensity she couldn’t quite explain, almost like agitation, as though he were afraid of losing her.

  She leaned away from him and met his eyes. Aside from the smile he offered her, she could sense something else. Sadness?

  “Everything ok?” she asked kindly, suddenly concerned for him.

  He nodded his head quickly and grinned at her, then gave her another quick kiss.

  “I’m fine. Thanks for suggesting this. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I got your text,” he said, releasing her from his embrace.

  Alice went back to checking the straps to make sure they were good and tight, then handed Billy Donald’s bridle straps, so he could lead him outside. She followed behind with Sadie.

  “Which way are we going?” Billy asked as he mounted his horse.

  Alice easily hoisted herself onto Sadie’s saddle and gestured for him to follow her. They cantered toward the ocean, watching the sun slowly sinking in the western sky. When they got to the edge of the slope, Alice pulled up on Sadie’s reigns and dismounted. She approached Donald and grabbed his bridle, stabilizing him so that Billy could jump off. He was getting quite comfortable in the saddle, so her assistance wasn’t necessary anymore, but she wanted to be nearby, just in case.

  “Shall we head down? I put some things in Donald’s saddle bag. Will you grab them for us?” she asked, ground tying both horses.

  Billy nodded, collecting the blanket and wine and joining her. They held on to each other as they made their way down the embankment. Although it wasn’t steep, it required careful foot placement, so they took their time descending.

  Once they had everything set up on the beach, Alice poured them each a small cup of wine and they sat down side by side on the blanket. Billy placed his arm around her and she snuggled next to his warm body. It was a beautiful evening, peaceful, warm and breezy. The sunset was breathtaking, a pallet of oranges, pinks, and reds painted the sky the color of romance. Alice sighed deeply, grateful for all of it. The sunset, the ocean, and the beautiful man beside her. She was happy.

  “This is perfect,” Billy said, taking a sip of his wine.

  “It really is,” she agreed, wondering what was on his mind.

  He seemed so pensive.

  “Did you manage to set an appointment with the loan officer today?” he asked.

  “Yes, I have a meeting scheduled for Monday morning. I spoke to him briefly about the situation. He doesn’t think it will be an issue,” she replied calmly.

  The call had set her mind at ease. The initial moment of panic she had experienced earlier that day had dissipated soon after Billy had left. Of course, there would be set backs along the way and she had to relax and trust that everything would work out.

  She appreciated Billy’s positive outlook and was grateful he was there to support her and keep her grounded. Life had thrown her a lot of curve balls and she always seemed to be waiting for the other shoe to drop. This cynical approach had kept her from taking chances, in life and in love. She was finally ready for all of that to change.

  “I may have to leave for a few days at the end of next week. I have some business to attend to. I promised the folks at my last job that I would help them out at the end of the season. They contacted me today and asked if I could assist them with a few things,” he said quietly.

  His tone was quite solemn so Alice shifted her body to see him better. Was that what was bothering him, she wondered.

  Billy smiled gently at her, as though trying to reassure her.

  “I won’t be long. I know the timing sucks, but I feel like I owe it to them to keep my promise. I know I’ll feel better if I can just tie up all the loose ends. Then I can come back and give you my undivided attention,” he explained, hugging her a little tighter.

  “And the crew? Will they continue to work while you are gone? Who will supervise them?” she asked, her concern not yet satisfied.

  “Well, they probably would be okay on their own but I was thinking this might be a good time for them to take a bit of a break too. Many of them haven’t seen their friends and families for over a month. I was thinking they could take five days off, and then we’ll all come back refreshed and push hard until the job is done,” he offered carefully. “What do you think? You’re the boss.”

  Alice brushed her bangs out of her eyes, considering his request. She didn’t fancy the idea of the crew working without Billy around to lead them, even if they could handle it on their own. If anything went off the rails she wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to fix it. She trusted his judgment.

  It did dawn on her that this was the first time he mentioned leaving since his arrival. The subject had never come up, although she had wondered plenty of times what his plans were, and if he had changed them. She wanted to ask him to stay on at the ranch, to explore their relationship together, but she was too afraid to broach the subject with him. She didn’t want to admit she was happy, and jinx everything.

  “When will you be leaving?” she asked, trying to control the emotion in her voice.

  “I’m not certain. I’ll know better next week, but if you agree, I’ll let the crew leave on Wednesday, with the plan that they will return on the following Tuesday, after Labor Day. I just placed an order today for the last of the supplies we’ll need. The delivery won’t arrive until late next week anyway,” he answered.

  He wedged his cup in the sand and leaned back on his elbows, looking up at her
.

  “I guess that will be ok. As long as you think we will be able to stay on target?” she questioned gently.

  The last thing she wanted was to micro-manage him.

  “I’m confident of that. Now come here and give me a kiss,” he said playfully, pulling her on top of him.

  Alice giggled, almost spilling her wine. She set her glass down beside his and then straddled him, kneeling one long leg on either side of him. She could feel the warmth of his groin as she pressed down into him, her lips pressing into his. The stubble on his chin was course and the friction from it burned the blushed skin of her cheeks, but she didn’t mind. She quite enjoyed how it tickled her senses, especially in combination with the scent of his intoxicating aftershave. He had a way of heating her up quickly.

  Billy held her hips tight against him and his erection grew quickly under her. As if they had a mind of their own, her hips gently rocked back and forth against his cock, applying just the right amount of delicious pressure. She moaned softly into his mouth, enjoying the pleasure building up inside her. Billy moved his hands to her ass and gently squeezed her cheeks, encouraging her to continue jamming on him, their dry fucking bringing her closer and closer to orgasm.

  “You are make me fucking crazy, Alice. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going when I’m around you,” he confessed in her ear.

  “Well right now I hope you are cumming,” she joked.

  He sat up quickly, toppling her over, then swiftly flipped her on her back. He unfastened her jeans as fast as possible.

  “Let’s say we take these off you, shall we?” he asked, a dirty smile on his face.

  She lifted her ass for him and he peeled them off her, panties and all, then tossed them aside. He made quick work of removing his own jeans, then positioned himself on top of her, his body pressing into her. He shared a slow, romantic kiss with her, the tip of his penis teasing her folds, his hot pre-cum dripping on her. She was ready, she was wet, and she wanted him.

  “Open your legs for me,” he growled, his command serving to heat her up even further.

  The sound of his sultry voice made her feel so naughty, like she could just let go of all her inhibitions and explore any sexual fantasy she wanted and he would meet her there, arms wide open.

  “Please, I want to ride you this time,” she begged, forcing the words out between each desperate breath.

  “Ride me?”

  “Like a bucking stallion,” she said.

  He smiled and gave her a look like he was all hers, ready to do anything she requested.

  “Lie down,” she said.

  He got down on his back and she pulled off the rest of his clothes and her own, leaving them both completely naked.

  She looked down at his cock, which was sticking up from his groin like a lone tree in a field. She leaned down over it and blew gently. He let out a soft moan as she got closer and opened her mouth.

  “Yes,” he moaned.

  She kissed his tip, then took it in her mouth and caressed it with her tongue. She’d never tasted anything so delicious as the drop of pre-cum on the tip of his cock. She lowered her mouth down his shaft until she reached the hilt, then slid her tongue all the way up the underside of his long, hard dick. It twitched with pleasure.

  She looked down at him and grinned.

  “What have you got planned for me?”

  She shrugged and threw her leg over his body, straddling him. She positioned her soaking wet pussy right above his cock and began to lower herself, ever so slowly.

  He gasped when her pussy lips touched his bare cock, and his eyes widened when she continued to lower herself down on top of him, his naked cock sliding up into her like a sword into it’s sheath.

  “Oh God,” he moaned, as she began to sway back and forth, and bob up and down on his cock.

  Using her legs, she rose up and down as if she were a cowgirl riding a horse. The pleasure was excruciating and pretty soon she was moaning in pleasure, a wave of spectacular orgasms flowing through her like waves on a beach.

  Billy could feel himself reaching the edge, and afraid that he might cum inside her without a condom, pulled her off him.

  “Why did you do that?” she panted, still in the afterglow of her orgasms.

  “You want to ride me?”

  She nodded.

  “Bareback?” he said, indicating his cock, which was ready to explode but still completely naked of any condom.

  She looked into his eyes and nodded again.

  Billy smiled and lifted her up off him, turning her around so that she was facing his toes.

  “Then let’s do this reverse cowgirl.”

  Alice looked back at him over her shoulder.

  “What difference will this make?”

  Billy put a finger in his mouth, wet it, then touched her anus which was facing him.

  “Oh, you just leave that to me.”

  Alice blushed in embarrassment when she realized what he intended to do.

  He ran his finger in circles around her asshole, pressing against it gently. She began to rock back and forth, his cock in front of her pussy, and his finger gently touching and pressing against her asshole.

  He spit on his finger and rubbed it into her asshole, lubing it up.

  Then, without warning, he slid his finger smoothly into her slippery anus.

  “Oh God,” she moaned.

  She continued rocking, riding his finger as it slid in and out of her asshole, opening her and getting her ready for him. As she moaned and rocked on his finger, he applied more saliva and then slid in two fingers at a time.

  “Billy,” she moaned, “yes.”

  He lifted her up a little and then put her back down on his rigid cock, sliding into her pussy.

  “Oh, God,” she moaned.

  As she rode his cock, he continued wetting and fucking her anus with his fingers.

  “Now,” she said at last.

  Without waiting another second, he lifted her again, and this time lowered her asshole onto his erect cock. She was so wet and lubed, his shaft slid right up into her anus in a single, slippery motion.

  She cried out and rocked back and forth, rising herself up and down on his cock. He watched his shaft sliding in and out of her anus and moaned in pleasure, gritting his teeth.

  Up and down she went, and when he felt the first surge of his orgasm, she cried out in shock. The sensation of his cum, pouring into her asshole overwhelmed her, and she began cumming at the same time. His cock continued pouring semen into her asshole and she cried out, her orgasm gushing all over him. His swollen cock was filling her in all the right places.

  He held her hips tightly, controlling her rhythm, both of them almost passing out from the pleasure, the naughtiness, of their position.

  When their orgasms finally subsided, Alice turned around and collapsed onto him, pressing her breasts against his chest.

  “That was amazing,” she panted, crushing her mouth on his, exploring him with her tongue, her hips grinding, grinding, grinding into his. His cum rubbed against her tummy, giving him a thrill he hadn’t expected.

  She reached down and grabbed his cock in her fist.

  “You’re a very naughty boy,” she teased.

  He grinned at her, and began playing with her clit with his fingers. Then he reached around and while sliding the fingers of one hand into her pussy, slid a finger from his other hand into her anus.

  She cried out, feeling another orgasm beginning to rise up deep within her.

  Alice felt compelled to look away, suddenly bashful.

  “Oh no you don’t,” Billy whispered softly. “Look at me. You’re beautiful, and sexy, and brave, and uninhibited, and confident. Don’t you dare hold back on me. I want to watch you and I want to hear you scream when you cum. Give it all to me.”

  His tone, his words, his need, were just enough to send her over the edge. She felt her orgasm explode in her womb and radiate through her body, her pleasure gripping her tightly. With
his strong hands, he held her firmly against him, prolonging every sensation, her pleasure refusing to release her. She moaned softly in his ear, calling out his name, over and over again. Finally, she let out a deep sigh, resting her chest against his, allowing her body a chance to recover.

  Billy caressed her hair softly, for a moment, then raised her head so he could kiss her. His cock was still hard.

  “I want you, Alice,” he whispered, his words sexy, deep and desperate.

  She nodded at him, heeding the desire in his eyes.

  He effortlessly eased her off him and turned her over on her back, spreading her legs open with his knee. He positioned himself on top of her and this time put on a condom. Then, he plunged himself inside her, his eyes searching hers with earnest, silently confessing his desire. He gripped her shoulders tightly, fucking her gently at first, until his pleasure overtook his control.

  He didn’t hold back anything, his cock thrusting into her as deep as it would go, his passion driving his desperate need. Alice could feel her body responding with every movement, her excitement peaking in response to his moans. Suddenly she climaxed again, a wave of toe curling electricity surging through her core. She grabbed his ass as her entire body stiffened beneath him. Billy kissed her hard on the mouth, wanting a taste of her pleasure, and allowed his own orgasm to bring him to the edge of madness.

  Billy rolled over on his side and pulled her close, her back resting against his chest. He held her tight while they watched the last of the sun gently kiss the ocean goodnight. Alice felt blissful, all her insecurities and fears about love drifting away.

  She wondered if Billy felt the same way.

  Did he want her as badly as she wanted him?

  Did he need her as desperately as she needed him?

  She knew at that moment she would give her life for him. She would give him every atom of her being, every bit of her life and soul, because without him there could be no life for her. She was done for. She was in love. She was all his, and her destiny was in his hands.

  She knew it, and she knew that no matter how much she valued strength, and independence, there was no life for her unless it was in his powerful, loving arms.
