Within minutes she was rocking against him. He knew she wanted it faster, but he wasn’t letting her climax yet. Instead, he moved out from underneath and positioned himself behind her. He put his cock right at her entrance and slammed forward, causing her to cry out.
Owen knew he wasn’t going to last long given the position and how wound up he was. He moved hard and fast. Cali was pushing back into him, meeting his thrusts.
He brought his hand to her swollen nub and immediately felt her spasms take over. Her walls clenched around him and he released as well. She was milking him, making his orgasm seem to go on forever. The high was addicting as was the woman beneath him.
He leaned onto her back, out of breath and she collapsed beneath him. “That was, that was,” she said.
“I know. And we’re not done yet.” He kissed along her spine and caressed her backside. “Come into the bathroom in a few minutes. I’m going to draw us a relaxing bath.”
A large garden bathtub was in the master suite with jets built into it. He had never used the tub prior to that moment, but thought it was just what they needed.
Owen filled the tub with warm water and added soap to make it bubble. He dimmed the lighting just as she walked in. She had, as she previously mentioned, the just fucked look and he loved it. She was so stunning that he stood for a minute simply looking at her.
Cali moved to stand directly in front of him, running her hands down his chest, stomach, to his length, which was slowly coming back to life. She started stroking, but surprised him when she dropped to her knees and took him fully into her mouth. Owen sagged into the wall for support.
They stared into each other’s eyes. Who am I kidding? he thought. I’m not falling for her, I’m already in love. He would keep the thought to himself for the time being though. He didn’t want to scare her off by saying the words too soon, but he loved her. He felt it deep within his soul. She totally rocked his world.
Cali released him from her mouth with a pop and licked him from base to tip. Standing, she pressed herself to him. He didn’t hesitate in hugging her tight.
Their lips met and their tongues danced with one another. She tasted of a mixture of himself and her sweet cream. The flavor only amped him up further. He slowly started backing her to the bathtub. When they reached the side, he stepped in. Lifting her, he settled her on top of him, straddling his waist, facing one another.
She reached between them and brought his cock to her, slowly lowering herself. Cali started to ride him. His hand went behind her, pulling her forward so he could capture her breast with his lips. His tongue sucked on any inch of skin it met. She increased the pace, driving him wild.
They were both lost in each other and didn’t hear the storm rolling in. He heard the thunder once it seemed to be over the house. Opening his eyes, he could see the bright flashes of lightning throughout the room.
Cali was moaning in rapture. She started trembling and held tight when her orgasm jolted through her. Once she started coming down, he pushed into her quickly and found his own release. He called out her name, almost professing his love, but at the last minute the haze cleared and he caught himself.
Her forehead was resting on his shoulder when the lights started to flicker before going out completely. It took only a few seconds for the generator to kick on and everything was lit.
There was a knock at the bedroom door and Owen heard Steven. “Are you two okay?”
“Yeah we’re fine. No worries,” Owen replied. Under his breath said, “We are more than fine.”
Talking through the door in a raised voice, Steven said, “Okay, just checking. I’m going to bed since we have an early flight. Let me know if you need anything.”
“Thanks man.”
Cali was laughing quietly into his shoulder. She didn’t make any noise, but her body was shaking. “It’s a good thing he didn’t come in.”
He laughed. “Ya think?”
They sat washing each other for a bit. Owen loved to do this for her. “All right, let’s get out, the water is getting cold.”
Cali stood first and grabbed towels for both of them. They dried off and she used the blow dryer on her hair. They both brushed their teeth and slid into bed. Owen spooning her.
“Sleep, beautiful. Tomorrow will be a long day.” He kissed her shoulder and intertwined his legs with hers.
She must have been tired because she only nodded and he felt her breathing even out. The storm would have normally kept him awake, but having Cali in his arms was like a drug. She relaxed him beyond belief and he fell easily to sleep.
* * * * * * * *
Cali groaned when the sound of music filtered into her ears. It was early in the morning and the sun was starting to rise. She groaned and hit the snooze button on the alarm. Owen had been on the other side of the bed, but hearing the alarm roused him enough that he found her and dragged her to his body. Smiling to herself, she knew she always wanted to be with him, just as they were.
The alarm went off again minutes later, this time Owen reached over and smacked it hard. He buried his face into her hair and said, “Too warm, too comfortable, don’t want to move.”
Cali sighed. “Agreed.”
One more round of the snooze button and by the third time he finally shut it off. But before standing, he kissed Cali and gave her the most heart-stopping smile she had ever seen.
His dimples and the chiseled features of his face were the perfect combination of pure sexiness. She was going to have to beat women away from him. Groaning, she realized they would be on the way back to reality soon.
“What’s the matter?” Owen asked as while getting dressed.
“Oh nothing, just that we have to go home. And going home means more women who want my hot as fuck boyfriend.”
“Hot as fuck, huh?”
“Yup,” she said and threw her arm over her face. “Not only do you attract all women, but you have two winners front and center. On one side we have Mia, who let’s face, isn’t all there and seems like she isn’t giving up without a fight. And on the other we have Avery who walks through your company like it’s a runway. She struts and flips her hair drawing the attention of every male with a pulse. She is model gorgeous.”
Owen walked over to the bed and took a seat by her side. Pulling her arms away from her face he said, “Look at me. Neither of those women matter to me. I’ll take care of Mia and make sure she doesn’t bother us. And Avery, it’s purely business. Any attraction is one-sided.”
“You’ve looked at Avery, right? Like really fucking looked at her? She’s raw sex appeal.”
“Caliana, there is no other woman for me, only you. Even when we were apart all of those years, you never left my mind. I always hoped that one day you would walk back into my life, even if only as a friend. But to have you as more,” Owen said, shaking his head. “I couldn’t be happier. You are everything to me.”
Cali sat up and engulfed him in a hug. “Thank you,” she whispered. He held her as they watched the ocean from the comfort of the bed for a few minutes.
“Okay, get dressed and packed. We need to get moving. I’ll have breakfast waiting for you on the deck.”
Cali dressed in a light blue, cotton tee and denim shorts. She packed and made sure to leave nothing behind. Walking into the bathroom, she glanced into the mirror and saw the pearl on her neck. She brought her fingers to the necklace, thinking of how she would never forget the trip. It was amazing from start to finish and Owen did it all for her. To be with her, with no interruptions.
Gathering her belongings, she walked to the front of the house and left the bags by the door. She saw Owen was on the deck with Steven and Adeline. Cali pulled over a chair to join them and ate in silence, watching the waves.
“What’s wrong, honey?” Adeline asked.
“Just sad to leave is all.”
Owen reached over and took her hand in his, caressing the back with his thumb. His touch alone was soothing. She had a feeling one day she w
ould see the view again.
~ 11 ~
They left in the early morning for the long flight home, having to stop a couple of times for fuel along the way. Everyone slept on and off throughout the flight. The time difference would really mess with them once they landed. Owen knew he would be dragging at work on Tuesday, but the trip was all worth it. The time he spent with Cali, just thinking about it made his cock twitch.
Once the plane came to a stop, Owen stood and stretched. He was the last one off and thanked the pilot for his help flying to and from Hawaii. He got a free vacation out of it too. Owen put the pilot up at a local hotel since it was such a short time they were gone.
They descended the plane steps and went to Owen’s truck. Cali hugged Steven and Adeline goodbye. Owen shook Steven’s hand and gave his wife a kiss on the cheek. He adored her and was happy to have them both on the trip.
He told Steven to take Tuesday off and he’d see him mid-week. The drive to the cabin felt like it took forever since he was beat. All he wanted was to go inside, strip and curl around Cali in bed.
Pulling into the drive between the cabins, Owen shut the truck off and strode to the passenger side. He helped Cali out and grabbed the bags from the bed. Walking to her front porch, she stopped dead in her tracks and he almost ran smack into her.
“Why did you stop?”
She said nothing so he walked in front of her to look at her face. Her jaw was hanging open and she pointed toward the Jeep. Then she moved her hand and pointed at the front door to her cabin. Owen turned and noticed all four of the Jeep’s tires had been slashed and her cabin’s porch light illuminated a big red X spray painted on the front door.
“What the fuck? Cali, get back in the truck.”
“Owen, I want to go,” she said, but was cut-off.
“No! I don’t know if it’s safe. Now, Caliana!”
His blood was pumping and he was pissed. Pulling out his cell phone he dialed Steven. He asked to him to get over to the cabin immediately. Owen hung up and dialed the police next.
Owen jumped into the truck to wait for the police. He didn’t want to disturb anything in case there might be evidence, plus he didn’t know if someone was still inside. Looking over at Cali he could tell she was becoming mad.
“Who would vandalize my property? I’ve never done anything to anyone.”
“I don’t know, but we’ll get to the bottom of it.”
Within a few minutes, the police arrived and took statements from both of them. Since they had been out of town the statements were short. Both were asked if they had any enemies or any idea who would do that. The answer was no. After the questioning was finished and the cabin was thoroughly checked, the police told them even though the door was shut, someone did enter the cabin and ripped it apart.
They were told dishes and glassed were broken, pieces were scattered all over the kitchen. The couch had been sliced open, the bedrooms were ripped apart with clothes strewn about in the one room. The police said someone really did a number inside. They weren’t sure if the suspect was someone looking for something or just went in to trash the place.
The police did allow Cali to go inside, only briefly, and with an escort. She started to cry when she saw the destruction and Owen’s jaw hit the floor. He told her they would go to his other house and she was going to stay with him.
He had a high fence, security system and Steven lived on the property as well. Owen had the house built and made sure a separate residence was constructed to house his security. At the cabin they were out in the open and more vulnerable.
Back outside, Owen took her over to the truck so she could rest. He told the police he had cameras all around the cabin next door and would review the footage. The police said that would be helpful and asked him to give them the footage as soon as possible.
Owen had the place wired to transmit to his main home therefore nothing was stored at the cabin. He never mentioned the cameras to Cali, it slipped his mind until the moment with the police. He had been so engulfed in her he didn’t think to say anything. He did it as a security measure. Every one of his properties were outfitted with top of the line surveillance. As soon as he got a good look at who the suspect was, he would tell her.
He glanced over to her and could see the tears streaming down her face. He went to her and wrapped her in a tight embrace. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure this out,” he said and kissed the top of her head.
She nodded. “What about my Jeep, my clothes, everything that was destroyed inside?”
“Steven should arrive any minute. I’m going to ask him to call a tow truck and your Jeep will be fixed. He will also secure the cabin and we will make sure everything gets replaced. I’ll have someone come in to clean and we can come back out here over the weekend to take a look and grab all of your belongings. Then we’ll lock both cabins up for the season.”
Her grip on him tightened as she whispered, “Thank you. Thank you, for taking care of me and all of this.”
“Of course, Caliana.”
Just then Steven pulled in. He drove a black, tinted, fully armored Cadillac Escalade. You couldn’t tell from the outside, but the SUV could take a beating and would keep on going. The Caddy looked like every other one on the road. It was one of the vehicles he had at the house. Owen knew when he called Steven that he would drive it. The SUV was the safest vehicle he owned.
Steven walked over to him and Owen gave a quick rundown of the situation. Steven would stay until Cali’s Jeep was taken to be fixed, the cabin was secure and would then drive Owen’s pick-up to the main house.
Owen asked Cali to hand her keys to Steven and instructed him to do a sweep of both cabins once the police were finished. They had been interviewed and were free to go. He knew no one had been inside of his place since the alarm wasn’t tripped, but he wanted to be sure. They both thanked Steven for his help and climbed into the Escalade.
As they pulled out of the drive, she asked, “Why are the windows funny looking?”
“The windows are bulletproof as is the rest of the vehicle.”
Her eyes bugged a little. “Why do you need a bulletproof vehicle?”
“You can never be too safe, beautiful. And when you are worth a lot of money, people take notice. I have the Caddy for the same reason I have Steven on my team. And with you, I won’t take any chances.”
She nodded and he reached over to take her hand in his. Cali sniffled and he could tell she was fighting to keep from crying.
The rest of the drive they remained silent. Owen kept tossing ideas in his head trying to figure out who would have done something to her. It could have been a robbery, but something in his gut was telling him it wasn’t.
Finally they approached the front gate to his house. He punched in the code causing the gates to slide open. He was tired and just needed sleep. He’d text Steven to review the video footage tomorrow while at work. No day off for him after all, he thought.
Winding up the driveway, he hit the button on the visor to open the garage door. He glanced over to Cali and kissed the smooth back of her hand.
“Everything’s going to be fine.”
“Easy for you to say. You weren’t the one who had their tires slashed and entire cabin trashed.”
“No, it wasn’t me, but what hurts you hurts me. I don’t like to see you upset and I will do everything in my power to figure out who is behind this. Now, let’s go inside and get some sleep.”
They both stepped out of the Escalade and into the house. Entering into a small hallway with a utility closet on one side and the stairs leading to the second floor, he put the bags on the floor and led the way to the kitchen. He was surprised to see Adeline waiting for them.
“Hi you two. Would you like something to drink before bed? Maybe some hot chocolate to help you relax? I’ll even put a little something extra in it,” she said with a wink.
“Sure, Adeline, thank you. You didn’t have to come over to do this,” Owen said.
&nbs
p; “Nonsense. I know I didn't, but you two need a little comfort so I’m here to provide it. Now sit and I’ll bring the mugs over to you.”
* * * * * * * *
Once the steaming mug was placed in front of her, Cali seemed to snap out of the numb state she was in. She was scared to the point of shaking. No one came to mind who would want to harm her. She thanked Adeline and took a long look around the kitchen.
“Owen, your home is beautiful.”
The house had a U-shaped kitchen with white cabinets and on the top of the upper ones were smaller glass door cabinets for more storage. The under cabinet lighting showed off the different browns and tans in the granite countertops and the matching subway tile backsplash.
All of the appliances were stainless steel and appeared to be commercial grade. There was a large center island where a second, smaller sink was located. The floors throughout were a light wood. It was her dream kitchen.
Owen and Cali were seated at a breakfast nook located right off of the kitchen. She looked over to him and noticed he never even heard her. Lifting her hand, she ran it across the stubble on his cheek. He leaned into the warmth and closed his eyes for a minute.
He finally stood and said, “Come on, let’s go shower and try to get some sleep.”
Cali followed his lead, walking up the flight of stairs. They walked into the master suite and he dropped the bags on the floor. She was exhausted, but not too tired to notice the sheer size of the bedroom.
He had a large, California King bed set on a dark mahogany frame and large headboard. The bedding was a deep sapphire blue and the floor was a darker shade of wood than downstairs. The ceiling was recessed and had lighting built within. Near the large bay window was a seating area with two overstuffed, light tan chairs and ottomans.
Owen walked to Cali and pushed her hair from her face. He cupped her cheeks in his hands before gently kissing her. “Go jump in the shower. There is a hair dryer underneath the sink if you want to use it. I’ll take one when you’re done. We need to get some sleep.” She hugged him tight and whispered another thank you.
