Laurie's Time (The Fairfield Series) (15 page)

“Dad, I hardly think Laurie wants a dissertation on the three of us.”

Laughing, she admonished Rob. “It’s fine, Mr. MacDonald. I love seeing these three cuties.” She wandered down the mantle looking at the other pictures. These were all of the MacDonald clan. Mac lovingly looking down at his wife and children. Rob with Suzy when she was a baby.

Rob watched her carefully and saw the exact second that a wistful look passed over her face. Knowing that she had become more sensitive about her family, he stood behind her wrapping his arms around her. Looking over her shoulder up at him, she smiled.

Right then, Bernie came in with the appetizers followed by Suzy, Rob’s much younger sister. Suzy was a beauty at only sixteen, with the same coloring as Rob. Her glossy dark hair and sparkling blue eyes would surely turn the heads of the boys at her school. Laurie quickly found out that she was a sophomore in high school, had straight A’s, and was interested in a boy named Brad Evans.

Rob rolled his eyes. “Not happenin’, Suzy.”

Suzy huffed, and Laurie could sense an argument brewing between the siblings. She looked quizzically at Rob.

Suzy looked at Laurie asking, “Did you have an older brother? ‘Cause sometimes they suck! He tries to tell me I can’t date until I’m twenty!”

Laurie couldn’t help but laugh at Rob, thinking he was going to keep Suzy from dating. She loved the banter among the family, wishing more than once that she had known that.

The conversation flowed, and she found herself completely relaxed and accepted by the MacDonald family. After dinner, she and Bernie cleaned up the kitchen. Looking directly into Laurie’s eyes, Bernie said “Sweetie, I have to say how glad I am that you are with Rob. He came months ago to tell us of this amazing girl he met, and I knew that night he had met someone special. Mac and I could not be happier.”

Family. Belonging. Friends. Love.
As they drove back to his apartment, she realized how glad she was to have moved to Fairfield.

“Rob, can I ask you a question,” she asked hesitantly.

“Babe, you don’t have to ask if you can ask. Just ask.”

“I was just thinking about Emma.”

“You miss her, don’t you?”

“It’s hard to explain. From the time I was about two years old, we shared a room. She was my aunt, my roommate, my pretend sister, my friend, then my guardian. We talk almost every day and well, I miss her. She works as a high school counselor, but I know she would love to change schools. It’s just, I’ve found a place where I belong, people that I love. When I came here, she told me that it was my time.” Looking into his eyes, she continued, “My time to get out on my own. My time to have my own place. My time to discover me. My time to fall in love.”

Entwining his fingers through hers, he encouraged her to open up more as they sat in the parking lot.

“I would like to ask her to try to get a job here. I’d like her to move to Fairfield, but I wanted to know what you thought.”

“Honored you want my opinion, Laurie, but you don’t need my approval to have Emma come here, whether to visit or live. What are you really thinkin’, babe?” he probed.

“Well… you and I are still kind of new. And I don’t want you to think that you’re not enough for me. Or that she would intrude into our lives.”

Rob placed his fingers on her lips to silence her fears. “Laurie, I’ve got my parents and sister and best friends in this town. You’re here by yourself. Finding your time as you say. But babe, I want you to have your family where they make you the happiest, and if that’s Emma movin’ here, then I am all for it.”

Breathing a sigh of relief, she wrapped her arm around his waist as they walked inside. Sliding her hand down on his firm ass, she gave it a squeeze as they crossed the threshold.

Rounding on her quickly, he picked her up and walked forward until her back hit the door and her breasts were pushed up against his chest. Up until now, their sex had been very active, but tame, only missionary and in the bed. Wanting to make sure she was comfortable, Rob had not attempted anything more adventurous. Leaning his head back to look into her eyes, he quickly asked, “You okay, babe?”

“Oh yeah,” was her response.

That was all the encouragement he needed. Slamming his lips onto hers, he kissed her hard and possessively. Nipping her lips, sucking her tongue into his mouth, slanting his head to get a deeper angle, his kiss owned her. Delving into her mouth, he explored every crevice as his tongue danced with hers.

She answered back with her tongue, stroke for stroke. Her fingers dug into his muscular biceps as she held on tightly, feeling as though she were drowning and he were her rescuer.

She felt her panties getting wet and couldn’t resist squirming desperately against his engorged cock pressing into his jeans. The need for the friction was overwhelming and she couldn’t think of anything else but wanting to have him pumping inside of her, satisfying that need.

He lowered her onto the floor just long enough to unzip her jeans and pull them off her body. Without breaking the kiss, he picked her back up and continued to press her against the door. He held her easily with one hand on her ass, and the other hand pushed up her sweater. Jerking down the cups of her bra, to free her breasts, he sucked one nipple deeply into his mouth, swirling the swollen bud with his tongue.

Rubbing her aching core on his jean clad dick, she could feel him press into her. “Rob, I need more. Please,” she begged.

He moved to the other breast, giving it the same attention that he gave the first. He reached down and grasped her panties in his hand, tearing the fragile material and tossing them to the floor. He unzipped his pants freeing his enormous cock. “Need to get a condom, baby”.

“I’m on the pill to control my periods. I’m safe,” she answered.

He looked carefully in her eyes. “Babe, I’ve never gone without a condom, and I get tested for my job. I’m clean, I promise.”

She looked into his blue eyes, seeing honestly shining back. “I trust you Rob.” With those words, she gave him everything she had to give.

Hearing those words, he felt them wrap around his heart and into his very being. He’d had women give him many things over the years, but never their trust. Those precious words were the most important gift he had ever received. Cupping his hand on her cheek, he stared into the grey eyes that captured him the moment he first saw them, promising, “I’d never put you at risk, Laurie. Never.”

His lips barely grazed hers in a kiss so soft she wasn’t sure it was real. All she knew was that she needed him, body and soul.

Lowering his leg, he pushed his jeans to the floor along with his boxers. Fingering her folds, he found she was more than ready for him.

“You’re soaked, babe. You ready? Can you take it?”

“Rob, please, fuck me now,” she commanded. “Hard.”

He pushed his dick into her dripping folds, slamming her against the door. Looking at her quickly to see if she was all right, he saw her head thrown back, eyes closed, and a smile on her face as she took all of him into her body. Satisfied that she could take it, he began to pump harder and faster, pounding into her as though his life depended on it. Sucking on her nipple again, he lightly bit down, causing her to gasp.

She had never felt so full, so complete in her whole life. The friction was setting her core on fire, releasing sparks that she recognized as being close to exploding. “Rob, I’m close. Oh more, more, I’m close.”

Pumping furiously, he reached between them, pressing on her clit. That was all she needed to go over the edge. Sparks igniting, she felt her inner muscles clenching around his still pumping cock. He continued to ride her, pushing in as far as he could go before throwing his head back, neck straining as his dick released his seed deep inside her willing body.

God, it has never felt like that. Skin to skin. With someone I love.
Panting, he held her tightly as he drew in one ragged breath after another, with his head resting against the door next to hers.
She owns me.
He realized this thought did not scare him, but instead fulfilled him.

His breathing finally slowed down, and he gently lowered her to the floor. Keeping his hands around her waist until she was steady on her feet, he kissed her swollen lips gently, softly. “You’re mine, babe. And I gotta tell you. You have all of me. Heart, soul, body.”

Carrying her back to the bathroom, he turned on the water. Placing her down, he let the water get warm before moving her under the spray.

Having him wash her gently was the most relaxing thing Laurie had felt in a long time. Smiling shyly, she said, “You don’t have to do this, you know?”

“Babe, I take care of what’s mine. And
you
are mine,” he replied, smiling down into her beautiful face.

Taking the shower gel, he gently washed her body starting with her feet and working his way up her toned legs. Spending a great deal of time lathering her luscious ass and between her legs, his cock answered the call of the wild again. Wanting the shower to be about her, he tried to talk his dick down, but where Laurie was concerned, it had a mind of its own.

She had been lathering his impressive body starting with his wide shoulders and moving down his huge arms and chest muscles as he was concentrating on her lower half. As they met in the middle, both standing under the warm shower spray, she couldn’t help but notice his dick, eager and ready again.

“Sorry, babe,” he said, with a smirk. “He just knows what he wants when he’s around you.”

Smiling, she just moved her slick hands over his cock, alternating between his shaft and his balls. “Anytime, honey,” she replied.

Rob continued his lathering of her breasts, focusing on both with equal enthusiasm, by this time knowing his dick wasn’t going to behave. Not with a soapy, naked Laurie in front of him.

Shyly looking up, she asked softly, “Can we try shower sex?” He gave her a questioning look, so she quickly added, “Oh, we don’t have to. It was just a thought.” Feeling the embarrassment engulf her, she knew she was blushing furiously.

Raising her chin with his fingers, he gazed into the grey eyes that were now stormy. “Babe, anything you want. Anytime you want it.”

Lifting her up again, settling her on the tip of his cock, he guided her onto him gently this time. Unlike earlier, this was about slow. Gentle. Easy. Care. Comfort. Pressing her back against the shower wall so that the water was on his back and out of her face, he moved her up and down, letting the sensations flow over both of them.

Taking a wet nipple in his mouth, he sucked gently, circling his tongue around the beaded tip. Knowing this was a new experience for Laurie, he realized it was new for him as well.
It’s all new with her. Everthing. The sex. The feelings. Everything.

It didn’t take long for her to feel the familiar pull of her impending orgasm. Climbing higher and higher until she knew she was ready to jump off the edge, she felt him press against her clit and that was all it took for her to fly apart. Throwing her head back, she felt her orgasm roar through her as her inner walls grabbed at his pulsating cock.

With just a few more pumps Rob joined her, as she milked every bit of seed out of his straining dick. As he emptied himself in her waiting body, he knew this was it for him. She was his forever. Lowering her carefully onto the shower floor, he leaned back to turn off the cooling water.

She placed her hands on his face as his hands came up to cup hers. “I love you, Rob,” she admitted. “I love who you are. I love how you make me feel. I love who we are together.”

“Oh Laurie darlin’, I love you too. Never felt this. Never thought I would. But you’re it for me.”

They slept that night tightly tucked in, both dreaming of a future together in Fairfield.

T
he holidays swept in, separating Rob and Laurie for the first time. Since he was volunteering to stay at the station over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to relieve the firemen who had families, she decided to go visit Emma. The girls spent three days talking, sharing, laughing, and planning. By the time Laurie had been there for one day, she had convinced Emma that Fairfield was the greatest place to live. Emma confessed that she would look for a job there, also feeling the stress of living away from her only relative.

On Christmas Eve, they sat on the floor of Emma’s apartment, drinking wine and looking through old photo albums. The two women looked so similar, both as children and adults. And of course, pictures of Sarah brought back many memories. Laurie couldn’t help but wonder what her life would have been like if her mother was still alive. But knowing that the past cannot be changed, she looked ahead with enthusiasm.

Reminiscing about Christmases’ past, they laughed and even cried a little, sifting through the memories. Looking at the pictures of her mom, Laurie became pensive.

“What’s going through that mind of yours, Laurie?” Emma asked.

Laurie smiled. “You always could read me, couldn’t you?”

“Let’s just say I’ve had years of practice!” Emma retorted. “Come on, spill it, girl. I can tell something is on your mind. Is it about Rob?”

“Oh no, everything is fine there,” Laurie said, her smile lighting up her face. “It’s… well, it’s about my father.”

Emma looked at Laurie in disbelief. For the past six years, Laurie had not talked about her father. She never spoke of him in anger; she just simply never spoke of him. Having read that Sarah was just a fling to him seemed to close the door to that relationship. “Okaaay,” Emma said slowly. “You’ve definitely gotten my attention.”

“I was talking to Jean, our school social worker and counselor, after the fire and she mentioned that my parents must be proud. I’d just told Rob all about my parents and it no longer seemed forbidden to tell someone I trusted about them. But after I explained the situation, she brought up that if Mom never told him about me, then how could I ever be sure that he actually rejected me? Let’s face it, the only two people who actually know what happened was Mom and Brock.” Laurie looked at Emma and just shrugged. “I mean, I don’t plan on finding him, but well…let’s just say that it gave me a different perspective.”
