Cosmic Love (Stargazers Book 1) (3 page)

“That would have required marriage in a case like this or his living somewhere nearby and you begging for permission to sneak off from here once in a blue moon.” Ford sipped his water.

“Yeah, it would have been okay with me. We never got that far.” Gina sighed, a pall falling over her mood.

“Hey, chin up.” Ford touched her cheek gently.

“Sorry. I'm still not really over it.”

“I can tell.” He shrugged. “Give yourself time. You can still have fun, though, right?” He clicked his tongue suggestively.

“I guess so.” She smiled at him, holding his gaze.

I can't wait to get back to my room or his later.

Their food came, steaming and smelling delicious. “This looks amazing.”

“It is.”

They ate in silence for a moment.

“Seriously, though, we can get involved. It's fine, you know.” Ford put his fork down, watching her.

“Um, okay, and you know this because...?” Gina trailed off, playing with a bite of baked potato.

“I'm the main boss, and I called my boss last night to ask.” He leaned back and stared at her.

“Oh.” She swallowed hard.

“Yes. I think that's called planning ahead. As long as we all keep our minds on work at work and don't have any petty drama, he's fine with it. We do get random inspections, and they will be on the lookout for tension and that sort of thing with a new employee.” He cleared his throat. “Especially one that looks like you.”

She laughed. “I see.”

“So, here we are. Dessert?”

* * * *

“That was delicious.” Gina stretched and moaned softly as they walked out of the cafe.

“Always. I've had that cake I don't know how many times, and it never disappoints.”

They walked along in silence for a bit. “So, would you like to go back to my place and have a drink?” Ford asked, his hand under her elbow.

I thought you'd never ask.

“Sure.”

“I know it's a work night, so I won't keep you out late. Although the weekend will be here soon. Not that it matters much. If we need to work, we do.” He chuckled softly.

“Sounds good to me. I could use a drink. I just now feel like I'm starting to catch my breath,” Gina said, sighing.

“We'll see about that.” Ford opened the door to the apartments, his tone suggestive.

“Hmm.” She smiled as he opened his door.

“Guys! What's up?” Larch Montbrook strolled toward them, a tight smile on his lips.

“Oh, shit. This guy always picks the worst times,” Ford muttered, shoving the key all the way in the lock.

“Not much. Dinner.” Gina gave him a challenging grin. “Enjoy your evening, Larch.”

She walked inside Ford's apartment, savoring the look Larch had given her. It was one of pure, unadulterated jealousy.

And she liked it.

“Whew. Glad you lost him,” Ford said, throwing his keys on the table.

“Me too.”

Sort of.

A pang went through her. She hadn't meant to hurt Larch's feelings...or start drama.

“What are you drinking?”

“A screwdriver if you have the stuff to make it.”

“Of course I do.” Ford winked at her and worked on their drinks. “Make yourself at home.”

Gina sprawled out on his luxe brown couch. The place was nice—modern like her place, but it had a touch of maleness about it with animal statues and outdoorsy objects on the end tables.

“Nice place you have here,” she joked.

“Look familiar?” He brought their drinks in. He held a cold beer and handed her a large screwdriver.

“Wow. I'd better drink up.”

“That's the idea.” He gave her a seductive smile, and heat suffused her veins.

She took a long quaff of her drink, and he did the same with his beer as he sat very close to her. The heat off of his body came to her in waves, and her core turned to liquid.

Without a word, Ford gently took her drink and lay his on the table next to it. She didn't resist him as he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly against him. His lips pressed into hers with urgency. She moved her hands to his hair and moaned.

“Mind if I mess up the bun?” she whispered.

“Hell, no. Do whatever you want to it.”

Before she could, he lay her back on the couch and kissed the hollow of her throat, her neck and the top of her breasts. His tongue swirled over them, leaving trails of fire on her chest. She moaned. It had been way too long since she'd felt anything like this.

“I want you right now,” he rasped.

“Do you have protection?” she asked as he stroked her inner thigh with his hand.

“Of course.”

She said no more as he flipped her over with a quick move. He shoved her dress up and yanked her pantyhose down, kicking her heels off in the process.

“I need to be inside of you. I've wanted to be since the moment I saw you, Gina.”

She gasped as his lips searched her inner thighs, his hands kneading them as he went.

He moved her dress up higher, and she moaned as his warm mouth pressed against her bottom. He kissed and sucked her cheeks as his hand moved to her clit.

“Oh my God. Please don't stop, Ford.” Her clit tingled, and she was already soaking wet. “I want to come.”

“I know you do, but you can wait a minute.” He laughed as his fingers teased the erect nub.

Her pussy clenched in warning. “If you don't stop, I won't be able to hold back,” she ground out between her teeth.

“Don't worry. I'm going to take care of you, baby.”

She whimpered as she heard a wrapper crinkle.

Ford grabbed her ass with both hands and pushed inside of her.

“Oh...” she said. He was large and long, filling her. That much she could tell.

“You like that?” He didn't move.

“Yes, please,” she begged.

“Please what?” He laughed softly, squeezing her ass cheeks.

“Fuck me.”

“Like this?” He slid out and back again so slowly she thought she would scream.

“Harder!” She wriggled against him, trying to push his cock deep inside of her.

He teased her with the tip of his cock against her pussy. Then he let go of her right side and moved his fingers back to her clit.

“Oh no.”

“Oh yes, baby.” He flicked his cock against her pussy hole and rubbed her clit in a smooth rhythm.

“Please fuck me. I'm going to come now.”

“Go ahead,” he commanded. “It won't be the last time tonight.”

Gina exploded, seeing red and blue stars in front of her eyes. “Ford, oh my God!”

He pushed his cock deep inside of her, making her orgasm even better. Waves of pleasure rolled over her as he pounded into her cunt.

“I don't want to come yet,” he said and pulled out of her.

“Umm,” was all she could say.

The tip of his cock pressed against her ass. “May I? You're ass is so ripe. I've been wanting to do this since I first saw you, too.”

“Of course.”

So, he's into anal.

“I'll just smooth the way.”

Gina heard him opening and closing something.
Man, he's prepared for anything.

Ford spread her ass cheeks wide and worked a finger into her canal and then two. She moaned with the pain and pleasure of it.

“Tell me if it hurts.”

It just might. It had been...how long?

He pushed into her slowly—an exquisite torture.

“You okay?” He stroked her back as one would a child's who is distressed.

“Oh yeah. Better than okay.”

“Good. That's what I like to hear.” He groaned. “You feel so good—so tight.”

She laughed softly, and he moved into a rhythm, pistoning in and out of her.

“Oh yeah.” A tingle pulsed through her from back to front.

“Like that?” He rammed into her with a grunt.

“Yes.” Unbelievably—to her anyway—the tingle intensified until she was on the brink of exploding again.

“Are you ready?” He asked, moving deeply inside her.

“Oh my god. Yeah.” She moaned and pushed against his cock.

“Me too.”

When he shouted, it triggered Gina's own release. Again, she saw explosions behind her eyes. This time, they were more like meteorites than stars, though.

Ford collapsed on top of her, hugging her to himself. He kissed her neck. “I'll be right back,” he whispered.

Gina sighed with contentment when he pulled out of her and disappeared into the restroom.

That was mind blowing.

She could have purred like a kitten, rolled over, and gone to sleep. She was that content after their lovemaking. When was the last time John had brought her to orgasm twice? So long ago she couldn't remember.

He returned in a few moments, a big smile on his handsome face. “I enjoyed that.”

Gina giggled. “Me too.”

“Can you stay the night?” He asked, sinking down next to her. He massaged her feet with strong hands, and she whimpered with pleasure.

“Yes.”

Without a word, Ford took her hand and led her to the bedroom.

* * * *

To her surprise, the alarm woke her at 7 a.m.

“I can't believe I slept all night.” Gina stretched and snuggled closer to Ford's warm body.

“Me either...with you beside me. You're too sexy for sleep.”

She laughed as his erection pressed against her stomach. “Round two? Do we have time?”

“Of course.”

“I have to get a shower and get dressed.”

“Shh, we'll be quick.” He caressed her breast, and she groaned.

Gina grasped his cock with one hand and cupped his balls with the other. She had wanted to take him in her mouth the night before, but he had been in control.

“Oh, Gina.” His words were a prayer to a goddess as she shimmied under the sheets. She took the tip of his cock in her mouth, tasting the salty top of it.

Ford groaned, rubbing her head with his hand. “Don't stop. Where did you learn to do that?”

She didn't answer as she swallowed the rest of his thick, hard cock and moved up and down. She teased him, moving the head against her lips before letting him push hard into her mouth.

“Stop, baby, or I'm going to come now, and I want to come inside of you.”

Gina slid his cock into her mouth—deep--one more time. “Okay, okay,” she said, peeking up above the covers.

Ford didn't say a word as he flipped her around, his cock pressing against her ass. He entered her pussy from behind, thrusting deep.

“Oh, hell.” Gina grabbed at the sheets.

“You like that? Is it big enough and deep enough for you, baby?” Ford asked, ramming in and out of her.

“Hell yeah,” she said, gasping as his fingers pressed her nub.

“I want you to come for me. I can't hold out long.” He paused. “I'm sorry. It's just been so long...”

She sighed. “Keep doing what you're doing, and I will.” She melted against his hand.

The spiral of pleasure began, building from her clit to encompass her whole body. “Ford! Oh my god,” she shouted.

His answer was a final thrust and a clinging to her. He bit her neck with a growl as he came inside her, pulsing and pushing into her deep.

They lay panting and holding each other.

“Sorry. That was quick,” he said, kissing her forehead.

“No, it was amazing.”

“It's been too long. It will get better in a few days.” He sighed, moving his fingers over her lips.

“For me, too.”

They both laughed softly.

Gina lay in his arms for another moment.

I could get used to this.

“I have to go. I still need a shower.”

Ford hugged her tightly. “I know.”

She wriggled out of his embrace. “I'll see you at work.” Gina felt self conscious as she stood, trying to find some clothes. They were all in the den.

“Stop.”

She did, not looking at him.

“You're gorgeous. You do know that, right?” Ford asked, propping up on his elbows.

“Not really. I know I'm average...maybe a bit above average. Just being honest.”

“You are way above average. Never forget it.” He got out of bed and smacked her ass as she left the room.

Gina hurried out of the apartment once she had thrown on her clothes.

She hoped to make it down the hall without seeing anyone else.

“Where are you going, young lady?” Larch stepped out of his apartment a few yards away.

She groaned. “Um, to get ready for work.”

“I can guess what you were doing last night then.” His gaze narrowed, and he bit his lip.
