Chapter 7

Ashlea wasn’t sure why she had given him hope. If she was honest with herself, all she could think about was his hands on her. And if she was really honest, she had watched that video way more than she had to for her professional side. It turned her on how fast he went and there was a better view of his long cock slamming in and out. Every time she watched it, it made her wetter and wish that it was her in the video. Had she really agreed to do just that, if he could stay out of trouble? She assured herself that even if she had, he could never stay out of trouble for that long. At least she hoped not, didn’t she?

It was all so confusing and she didn’t know how to act around him. He wanted to stay in and watch movies. She thought it sounded better than anything else they had done so far. The biggest TV was in his room though, so she had to lay with him on the bed. It was far too soft and his shoulder too comfortable as she slipped off to sleep in the middle of one of the movies.

Jesse watched her sleep and realized that she was the only woman he had been around for so long and not slept with. His cock hardened with the very idea and it was all he wanted to do was make her his. He knew that she wanted him, he wasn’t blind. Jesse just couldn’t understand why she was so reluctant to push that part of it more.

His hands played with her silken blonde strands and he nestled back against the pillow, pulling her back with him. Her slight frame felt good against him. He heard her sigh as she moved against him, pushing his need higher as she groaned next to him. Jesse wondered what she was thinking of and when she moaned again, he hoped it was him in her dreams making her whimper so. Eventually he had to nudge her awake, unable to take her small sounds of pleasure any longer.

She stretched against him and made him groan inwardly as her small breasts pressed against his chest. She fell back asleep, or never woke up and he was left hard, pinned underneath her. Jesse himself was tired, but there was no way he could sleep with her pressing against him like she was. “Ashlea?”

“Huh.”

“You want me to take you to your bed?”

“No, I’m comfortable.”

Her words were slightly slurred and he knew she wasn’t quite awake. His hands moved down to her side and pressed her against his hard length. Ashlea whimpered and pushed back against him. Jesse took it as permission and his lips moved down to hers. He had been dying to kiss her and she didn’t disappoint, moaning into his mouth and pulling him down for more.

Jesse responded quickly, his body moving to cover and pin her beneath him. He pulled his lips away and cupped her scant breasts in his large hands. “Mmm Rick. That feels so good.”

He stopped and looked down at her, her eyes still closed. It became clear that he was not the one she was thinking of and his needs left him. Pulling away, he walked out of the room, more irritated with himself than anything else. He kept waiting for her to fall to her knees in need, but it just wasn’t happening. Even in her dreams, he couldn’t compete with the infamous Rick.

He ignored her the rest of the evening, picking a guest room to stay in. He didn’t go back to his room that evening, not wanting to run into her again. Jesse had never experienced such unrequited feelings and he wondered if he felt that way because he couldn’t have her or if he really wanted her that badly. Either way didn’t seem to matter.

Ashlea woke up early the next morning and she did not recognize where she was for a moment. It was dark in the room, the television on a blue screen. Closing her eyes, she realized she was still in Jesse’s room. Her eyes adjusted and she looked around for a sign of him. For a second, she was worried that he would be out causing mischief. Ashlea sat up and tried to shake the sleep from her foggy brain.

She called his name and after a moment of no answer, went looking through the house for him. Ashlea pulled her phone out to check her messages and she stopped when she saw the number she had been waiting for. She called it back, paused in the hallway.

“Do you know what time it is?”

“Time for some good news I hope. Sorry I didn’t catch your call last night.”

“Good news indeed. I don’t know what you have on him, but nonetheless, he has agreed to your amount. We dropped charges this morning.”

“That’s what I like to hear. Tell your client he made a wise decision and I may even throw some extra in for it. Talk to you soon. Send the paperwork over when it is finished.”

Ashlea smiled to herself as she continued her search. That meant that she could be home that evening, back in Rick’s arms. She had such a vivid dream of him the night before, that she knew she must be missing him bad. There was a second thought that she tried to ignore though. She wanted to stay around and the idea of leaving Jesse didn’t sit well. She had gotten used to his gruffness that covered up a caring man beneath. He spent most of his time working on his skill or helping others.

“You have to go home. This is just a job.”

She told herself the words, but Jesse didn’t feel like just a job. In the few days they had known each other, they had gotten close. Now she would not see him again and the thought made her hesitate when she found him sleeping in a guest room. His broad chest was bare and she tiptoed in, her eyes not leaving the hard ridges. “Jesse.”

Her words were low, not really wanting to wake him up, enjoying the view in front of her. He moved in his sleep and the sheet moved lower, covering just above the start of thick hair that covered his groin. Her hand died to come out and touch it, but she could not. She was to tell him the good news, but when she sat down next to him and his eyes finally met hers, she didn’t want to.

“Morning Jesse. I was wondering if you wanted to take a swim with me?”

His eyes looked confused, but he sat up and nodded his head. “Let me get dressed.”

She nodded, leaving the room and went to her own to put on a bathing suit and brush her messy locks. He was done before her and was waiting with sleepy eyes for her to come down the stairs. His swim shorts left very little to the imagination, as well as a hardened cock in the thin material. She tried to ignore the tremor in her legs.

“You ready?”

He nodded his head and they walked out back to shoreline. The sun was just starting to peak over the horizon and the air was still a little crisp. The water was slightly cooler and she gasped as she dived in the water. Jesse was quickly behind her and they swam out until she stopped. Rolling over to her back, she floated for a minute as the stitch in her side went away. Jesse’s eyes watched her and it was only when they were back to a touchable level, that he said anything.

“So when are you going to tell me the good news?”

Chapter 8

She laughed, knowing she was caught. “How did you find out?”

“Manager called me last night while you were sleeping. I wonder why you aren’t on your way back to New York? You job here is done, isn’t it?”

“Well I guess it is. I just wanted to go on one last swim.”

“If that were so, you wouldn’t have had to wake me up.” He had her there and his eyes held the hope in his heart. “Maybe, your maybe is a yes?”

Ashlea bit her lip as he moved closer to her. The water lapped at her chest and she shivered with the look in his eyes. “I didn’t say it was a yes.”

“Well tell me now that it is.”

His hands were around her, his lips inches from hers. He was giving her an out that she didn’t want. All she wanted was his lips on hers. Moving forward, her lips met his, touching his ever so slightly as his tongue moved in her mouth. His hands pulled her closer and she whimpered with the power of his touch.

Picking her up, she wrapped her legs around him and hung on with her arms. Jesse’s strong arms held her, as his mouth devoured her own. She whimpered with the pleasure and gasped as she felt hardness pushing up against her core. The bikini was no help in stopping his cock from pressing against her.

The next thing she knew, he was setting her down on the wet sand, her eyes dilated with need. His dark depths took her in and his fingers flew to her heat. Her body shot up as a finger wiggled in beneath her bottoms and he growled as he felt the wetness trapped inside. Ashlea grabbed the pulsing piece of meat in between them and pulled him closer. She wanted him right then, forgetting it was the middle of the day and the beach wasn’t private. She didn’t care who seen them, as long as she got to feel him inside of her.

“Yes, now.”

Jesse’s hand jerked his shorts down, his cock freeing itself as he pushed himself to her. Her thighs opened and she invited him in. It was not the way she wanted it, but she would take him however he would give it. She felt the large mushroom head pushing against her hot hole and then slipped in with her wetness. Ashlea moaned low in her throat, Jesse hissing as he pushed through her suffocating sheath. Each inch was lovingly embraced and he had to grit his teeth.

“Mmm yes Jesse. Fuck me like those girls in the videos.”

He turned her around, her ass going in the air as she went to her hands and knees. Jesse jerked her bikini bottoms off and pushed his face into her slickness. The salt water masked her flavor until he pushed his tongue deep, making her cry out. Grabbing a handful of her hair, he yanked her up as he slammed forward. It was more than she had anticipated, his hot meat sliding deep against her womb. “Is that how you want it Ashlea? Like a naughty little girl?”

She shook her head yes and cried out as he slammed deeper and released her hair. Instead he used her arms for leverage as he pushed deeper and deeper. Each rut of his hips pushed her closer to her end and then she was screaming, her pussy drowning his hard length in her juices.

Jesse got a strange feeling that someone was watching them. He looked over to see a reflection on what he thought was a camera lens and what he was doing hit him. He was out in the middle of the day with his PR Rep and the last thing either of them needed was for someone to see them or take pictures. He yanked out of her and slapped her ass. “Come on, let’s go in.”

He pulled her bikini bottoms back up and moved towards the house. He waited for her to get up on wobbly legs and then swept her off her feet, carrying her inside and away from prying eyes. The salt was starting to dry on their skin, so he carried her down the hall to one of the bathrooms. Setting her down, he opened the door and pushed her in. His hands were right back on her, pulling her tiny strings off to reveal all to him. She whimpered with the touch and mewled into his mouth. He felt perfect against her.

Jesse moved away long enough to turn the water on and shed his own shorts. His cock was hard and pointing towards her in need. She grabbed him with her hands, stroking him softly. Going to her knees, Ashlea pushed him into her mouth and her pussy tingled with the guttural groan as his hands grabbed a handful of her hair.

Pushing her against his hips, his cock stuffed her mouth full, gagging her with its depth. Jesse could not help but push deeper with the sound of her choking. Her lips felt like heaven wrapped around his length and when she looked up at him with those clear blue eyes, he almost lost himself in the slice of heaven.

“Yes Ashlea. Fuck that feels good.”

She added her hand to grip the base that she simply could not fit and stroked him with the bob of her mouth. Jesse became rougher, his hips slamming into her as he had her quim. Ashlea pushed away, her lungs in need of some air, her jaw in need of rest. Jesse yanked her up and pressed her against the sink, his teeth nibbling on her bottom lip. “Fuck you are really good at that.”

Lifting her up by grips on her round ass, she gasped at the cold marble beneath her. The air was thick with steam, but the heat had not penetrated the thick stone. His hands and mouth took to her slight breasts next, pulling on the tip, while another was sucked into his hot mouth. Her head fell back and her thighs widened as his body moved against her. Again she felt his thickness rubbing against her honey hole. Scooching her ass down, her puffy lips spread with the move forward. Jesse groaned and pulled his length away, breathing quickly as he watched her squirm.

“I need you inside of me, stop teasing me.”

In a heartbeat he was back and pushing deep inside of her. She squeezed him as her walls stretched to accommodate his girth. His name became a mantra on her lips and her tightness shrank as she got closer to her own end. Another stroke and she would be there, but he stopped at the last moment, leaving her to whimper and gasp. Her feet went higher, resting on the side of the counter, her head at a crazy angle against the mirror. Her hand went from bracing herself to between her legs, rubbing the enflamed flesh to completion. His hand covered hers and moved faster, rubbing her until he saw the first stream of her pleasure leak out. Ripping his hand away, his mouth went to cover her, slurping as she came in his mouth.

Pulling back, she let go of his hair and her blue eyes looked back at him. He grabbed her arms to help her up, a smile plastered on his face. “Let’s get in.”

She had long since forgotten where the steam had come from, the beating water of the shower just a noise in the background. Everything was centered on him and his touch made her forget even that. Her legs shook as he helped her down, stepping her into the warm stream in the stall. Following her in, his large body took up most of the excess room. It was impossible not to touch him as he closed the door, his body overwhelming her small form.

Jesse spent no time wasting, his strong arms lifting her up, pushing her back against the slippery tile. Letting gravity pull her down, his cock positioned beneath her and she was skewered from below by his meat. Cursing, her arms pulled her up from his neck, her breasts rubbing against the hard lines of his chest. Ashlea whimpered as her sensitive nipples were dragged against the soft hairs that sprinkled the top. Clinging to him on the inside and the out, her eyes closed with the full possession. Like everything else in his life, Jesse knew only one speed.

His hands gripped her waist, slamming her down as his hips thrust upwards. Ashlea was a mess of moans and cries as he pummeled her insides. In the back of her head, she could hear the similarities of the girl in the video and her own screams of pleasure. Jesse had a way of becoming part of her and she was quickly tightening up around him as her insides imploded from the repetition.

Ashlea gripped him, her walls clenching his throbbing cock, while her lips begged for his cum. She couldn’t take anymore and he finally started to stiffen up, a heat blasting inside of her. She clenched him as he held her still, his body pinning hers against the tile. Jesse kissed her, his tongue pushing in as he filled her full of his hot seed. It was the first time he had felt so complete and it was minutes before he moved away.

Releasing her and watching his softening rod slip out of her, he finally looked down into her smoky blue eyes. They twinkled and her face was alight with a smile he had not seen before. “Turn around.”

She shook her head. “No more. I need a minute.”

He pushed her around, her breasts pressing up against the heated wall. She waited for his penetration, his assault on her senses complete. Instead she felt slippery fingers moving against her, leaving a trail of soft bubbles in their wake. His hands worked on her front, sliding around her turgid tips and soft underside of her breasts. By the time he had reached the small tuft of hair above her womanhood, she was pushing back against his hard length.

It slipped between her thighs and she touched it lightly with her hands. Groaning, his hips jerked and he yanked out of her. Ashlea tilted herself just a little and rejoiced as he slid deep inside of her. Her insides screamed from the raw feeling, but she couldn’t get enough. She begged him to go slow and for several strokes he managed. About the time she started to shake with her forth orgasm in such a short time, Jesse’s resolve was gone and he started to slam into her as she screamed his name.

***

There was a sound in the distance that roused Ashlea from her sleep. She felt the warm body she was snuggled against and smiled to herself. The day had been exhausting, they always were with him. Another buzz and she realized it was the man’s door buzzer. Throwing on one of his shirts, she padded down the stairs to open it. A delivery man handed her a large envelope addressed to her. She signed the man’s list and she opened it. She had expected it to be the paperwork from the settlement, but instead it was a magazine. She saw the cover and groaned inwardly, cursing as she went back up the stairs.

“Jesse, wake up!” Ashlea slapped down the magazine, the two of them gracing the cover. “Did you know about this?”

He shook his head, but a smile crossed his face as he saw the compromising pictures. “It’s amazing what a good lens can do, huh?”

“Why are you so happy about this? Do you know what this is going to do to my career? I have already gotten ten missed calls from my boss.”

“Good. Then you will have no reason to go back to New York. Stay here and start your own PR Firm. You already have me as a client and you have done wonders for me. Besides with the low-ball settlement, I still have quite a bit of money.” He winked at her, but she did not seem too relieved.

She looked at him like he was crazy. The jury was still out on if he actually was or not. “You can’t be serious.”

“Very much so.” He was walking towards her with a determined look that moved her away.

“You don’t date. I know everything about you, remember?”

“I didn’t date. Things change.”

The foot of the bed stopped her from moving back any further and she looked down, unable to keep up the intensity in his eyes. “And you could be happy with just one woman?”

“As long as that woman is you, yes. You make me very happy.”

“We don’t even know each other Jesse.”

One hand cupped her cheek, while another pulled her body forward to his. “You’re right Ashlea. There are some things that I haven’t told you. No one knows but a few.”

She sat back a little, his hand moving off of her face. There was something different in his eyes, a pain that she had only seen in passing before. “Just tell me.”

He took a deep breath, his eyes looking off in the distance, focusing on something out of sight. “That room I put you in, is my daughter Angela’s room.”

“I didn’t know you had a daughter.”

“I don’t. Not anymore.”

His face tightened and she felt his pain seeping out into the room around them. Ashlea almost wanted to stop him, tell him that she didn’t need to know. It hurt her to see him like that, vulnerable in front of her. She waited for him to say more, hoping that if he did, it would somehow relieve his pain.

“Angela was nine and since I was getting popular in the MMA, I wanted to keep her out of the spotlight. I wanted her to have a normal life, so she lived with her mother and I would see her as much as I could. Denise was milking me for child support and I finally told her that we would have to go to court. She stopped letting me see Angela and though I wanted to go to court, my manager insisted that it stay hushed. He was afraid it would ruin my reputation.” His lips lifted with a sardonic grin. Ashlea waited, holding her breath for what happened next.

“Angela had an accident at home in the back yard pool. She was pronounced dead at the hospital and she was gone before I got there. I never got to see her alive again. The last time I seen her was in the Rose Room, right before I left for a match. That was a year before she died and I didn’t do anything, because of my reputation. My little girl would still be alive, if only I had fought for her. And now, I can’t bear to change the room. I keep it just the way it was before she left.”

Ashlea was stunned, her arms going around his neck. She had never heard a wisp about any of it and she had so many questions, but it was not what he needed. What he needed was her touch and it seemed to almost have a healing effect on him. His body relaxed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

“I know enough that no matter what is behind you, it can never change the future I see ahead of us. I am sorry that you had to keep that in for so long. I can’t imagine it, but I am here now.”
