Shadows (16 page)

I spit my wine out across the island. Isa
starts patting my back, but it really isn't necessary. "Oh, my.
Theron, what did you feed this poor girl? She must be choking on
some vile poison."

"I'm pretty sure your vocabulary stunned her.
I'd bet all my money on that's the reason she choked."

Isa rolls her eyes at Theron. "What does he
know anyways? Come sit with me. I'm tired." We sit for a while and
talk about our likes and dislikes with books. Her library is very
impressive, and I can tell she's definitely put it to good use. I'm
not sure how long we are talking, before Theron takes a seat next
to me. Sliding my stool over to be closer to him, I lay my on his
shoulder and he wraps his arm around me. I try my best to stifle a
yawn.

"Tired?" His fingers run up and down my back.
I could easily fall asleep on this barstool.

"Mmhmm." I nod my head.

"Are we back to not being able to speak,
already? We really must look into the cause of this."

Bushing, I look up at him. His beautiful
swirling eyes are staring straight into me. The way eyes are
different colors entrances me. My heart starts beating faster, and
butterflies flutter in my stomach.

"I can talk, I just don't want to" I notice
his gram has grabbed her jacket and is getting ready to leave, but
I have forgot to ask her what Gilf stood for. "Isa,
wait."

"Yes, darling?"

"What does Gilf stand for? Theron said the
name of your business is short for something." I hear Theron sigh.
I look up at him, and he rolls his eyes.

"Oh honey, I thought you would've figured that
out. It stands for Grandma I'd Like To Fuck." She blows me a kiss
goodnight and heads out the door. I'm rooted to my seat with my
mouth hanging open. She has left me once again, completely
flabbergasted.

"Eventually you will learn to quit asking her
questions. Very rarely are her answers ever normal." Theron kisses
my forehead and takes my hand leading me to our bedroom. I quickly
change into a nightshirt and slip under the sheets. Since I didn't
finish the work I brought home, I set my alarm extra early. I
switch off my lights and curl my body into his.

"Hey, I forgot to ask you how your day went
today."

Watching his firm chest rise up and down with
his breaths, I trace his tattoo with my fingers. "It was
horrible."

"Why? What happened?"

"Ben was a bigger jerk than normal. Kayla
picked up her work for the week and wasn't in. I found out this
afternoon that our company has merged with some Highton
corporation. Sharon is leaving to train in New York. Plus this
snobby blonde, who hates me, is now my boss."

"That sounds like a shit day. You should have
stayed home with me."

"I should have. As a bonus to my crappy day,
Ms. I have a rod up my ass blonde wasn't pleased with my work
today. I have to get up really early to finish my account logs from
today. They need to be completed before I get into work. They are
talking about rearranging staff and I don't want to be let
go."

Theron is quite for a few minutes. He's
running his fingers through my hair. I feel so relaxed and
comforted by him. Everything is better when I'm in his
arms.

"What did you say the name of the company
was?"

"Highton Corporation, or something like that,
why?"

"Just curious. I'll ask Gram about it and see
if she's heard of it before." He looks over at me. I think I see a
glint of fear in his eyes, but it quickly fades away. "My
beautiful, Eve, what am I going to do with you? You are consuming
me."

"Is that bad?"

"No, but I'm definitely addicted to you now. I
can never quit. You are the best habit I've ever had. The feel of
your soft skin, burns me." He runs his fingers under my shirt and
up to my breasts, cupping them, twisting my nipples between his
fingers. I gasp. "The taste of your sweet mouth, is sweet like
sugar." He softly kisses the corner of my mouth, working his way
across. His tongue sweeps out to licking my bottom lip. I open to
him and his tongue claims mine. Desire consumes me. I try to pull
him closer to me, but he breaks the kiss leaving me panting,
wanting for more. "The feel of your body underneath me, my cock
sliding in and out of your wet cunt is sinful." Holy Shit. "I need
you. I want you. I am keeping you."

"Yes." My voice is low and husky. He pulls my
shirt over my head, tossing it to the floor. My nipples are hard
peaks, my breathing is heavy. Hovering over me, he pins my arms
above my head. Soft kisses besiege my neck and work their way down
my body. I know what he's going to do, but I want to taste him.
"Stop." He looks up at me and pulls his lip through his teeth
questioning me with his eyes. My mouth is suddenly dry so I lick my
lips. "I want to taste you."

"Fuck, beautiful. That's the sexiest thing
I've ever heard."

He grabs my waist and flips onto his back
taking me with him. I straddle his hips. I can feel his hard
erection under me. Grinding onto him, I swirl my hips. My panties
are soaked with my wetness for him. Sliding my body back down his
legs, I pull the waistband of his boxers down. I've noticed how big
he was before, but this view is incredible. Firmly gripping him, I
slowly move my hand up and down his hard cock.

"Mouth, beautiful."

I do as I'm told. I lick the tip of his cock
and slide my mouth down around him, circling him with my tongue.
He's so hard. His hands find the back of my head as I find my
rhythm. Pulling my lips back, I gently scrape him with my teeth and
swirl my tongue around his tip. I feel him jerk in mouth. It only
encourages me more. I firmly grab onto his balls gently tugging
them as I take him all the way into the back of my throat. I almost
gag, but I breathe through it. Tears sting my eyes, and I do it
again. His hips raise up and he pulls my head back with my
hair.

"Fuck. I'm going to come if you don’t
stop."

I moan around his hard cock. I'm incredibly
turned on, but this is all for him. I want him. I need to taste
him. I pick up my rhythm and grab the base of his cock with my
other hand sliding it up and down. Gripping his balls with my hand,
I tug them as my tongue swirls around him. I feel his body go rigid
beneath me. I take him all the way in the back of my throat, and I
feel his release shoot down my throat.

"Oh, God! Yes, baby take all of
me."

I lick and suck every last drop of his salty
release. That was unbelievably empowering. I crawl my way back up
his long torso, eyeing him as I go. He's so incredibly perfect. He
pulls me to him and I fall to his chest.

"Beautiful. That was incredible, but now we
have a slight problem."

I look at him confused. What problem could we
possibly have?

"You didn't get yours."

"Oh. Are you going to remedy that? I think you
should" I wiggle my body on top of his.

"Are you going to start making
demands?"

"Maybe. A woman has needs that need to be
filled you know. I could get them filled elsewhere." As soon as I
say I regret it. Fear and anger take possession of his face. Smack!
His hand sharply meets my ass. "Ouch!"

"Eve, that was not funny or cute. Never, ever
joke about being with someone else or leaving me."

I look into his eyes and see the hurt that I
have put there. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I need
you. You consume me, too."

"Is that so?" He tucks a strand of hair behind
my ears and I softly nod my head while chewing the inside of my
cheek. I feel awful. "Lucky for you, I'm addicted. Sit up." My body
automatically complies with his demands. I sit up my legs resting
against his sides. I can feel him hardening beneath me. My relaxed
breaths turning ragged. My thoughts are all over the place
wondering what he's going to do to me. I know it's going to be
amazing, it always is.

"First things first. Your panties, although
they are incredibly sexy, must go." He pulls at the bows on my
hips, gently undoing them. "Lift." I do as I'm told and lift my
hips up. Sliding my panties out from underneath me, he tosses them
to the floor. "Condom." I reach over and pull open the nightstand
drawer. I grab one condom and close the drawer. Ripping it open
with my teeth, I look directly into his eyes. They are swirling
with approval. "Put it on me. Make sure to pinch the tip." Once
again, I immediately do what I am told. I pinch the tip of the
condom and roll it down his erection. I run my hands back over his
thighs slightly grazing him with my nails.

"Like this?" My voice is a soft whisper. He
answers me by lifting me by my waist and slides me down his hard
cock. I have never been so completely filled in my life. My breath
escapes me. My nerves are electrified. I can feel every inch of
him. I place my palms on his chest and slowly lift myself. Grinding
back down, I clench my muscles around him.

"Yes, just like that. Do it again."

I do, but this time I slam back down on him
hard. I gasp. Every nerve ending is screaming out in pleasure. I
won't be able to handle much more of this. Theron takes control and
grasps on to my hips holding me in place. He drives his cock into
me pulling out slowly and crashing back into me over and over
again. I'm moaning and writhing on top of him. I'm on the brink of
an orgasm and he knows it.

"Are you ready?"

I fervently nod my head. Once again he has
made me speechless. Slam! "Ahh!" Slam! "Fuck. Theron!"

"Scream my name, baby." He drives his hard
cock into me hitting every single nerve as I come undone above him.
My climax is intense and unending. My legs are shaking as my
muscles spasm around his cock. "Hold on, beautiful, I'm not
done."

I'm not sure that I can, but I don't have a
choice. Theron's hand dig into my hips as he pounds into me. I feel
his grip tighten and he comes, bellowing out inaudible words. He
releases his grip and I crash onto his chest. We are both
breathless and sweaty. I can't move and he doesn't. His fingers run
softly up and down by back. I shiver. "Are you cold,
baby?"

I make no movement or sound in response to his
question. Softly he rolls me to the side and grabs the duvet to
cover us. Burying my head in his neck, I place a soft kiss on this
throat. His arms wrap around me cocooning me in his grasp, and I
don't plan on leaving it anytime soon. I drift off to sleep with a
smile on my lips.

* * * *

I'm walking along the beach with
Kayla. We must be around eleven years old or so. I can see Matt
playing with some boy in the distance. The boy turns his head to me
and smiles. I'm not sure why, but my stomach always seems to drop
when I see his smile. I look at Kayla and she nudges me. She thinks
it's funny that I have a crush on him. I can't help it. He's
exciting and we only see him at the beach. Kayla stops and grabs my
shoulder. "Why do you think he always wears his
sunglasses?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's cooler
than you. “I go to shove Kayla, but she dodges me and I almost fall
into waves. I’m able to stop myself, and I fall backwards but my
feet still hit the water. Kayla is hysterically laughing as I try
to stand the waves lapping around my feet.

"Here comes your knight in shining
armor.” I shoot her a dirty look. The boy with the sunglasses pulls
me to my feet. I start brushing the sand off me, when someone calls
for him. I think it's his dad. He's always in a suit and he's
always so angry.

"Tomorrow," says the boy with the
sunglasses. Blushing, I nod my head and smile at him. I wave
goodbye as he runs back up the beach to the man waiting for him. I
watch him walk away and suddenly I feel so lonely.

Chapter 9

T
here is an awful
sound screeching in my ear. It takes me a moment to realize it's my
alarm. I try to roll to shut it off, but someone's legs and arms
have me trapped. I gently nudge his arm off my waist, and slide his
legs to his side of the bed. Turning off my phone, I head to the
kitchen. I am in desperate need of coffee, especially starting work
so early. It doesn't take me long to finish the accounts I brought
home. I close up my laptop and head for the shower.

My thoughts are an unorganized mess as I'm in
the shower. I'm nervous about work. I hope I'm making the right
decisions with Theron. The thought which captures my attention the
most is my dreams about the boy with the sunglasses. I have a
feeling I know him, but I can't tell if they are memories or
dreams. I finish my shower and get dressed for work. I'm definitely
distracted this morning. I'm finishing breakfast when Theron graces
me with his presence. Wrapping me in his arms, he spins me around.
I gently brush his arms off of me. He's going to wrinkle me, and I
want to look my best for work today.

"What's gotten into you today?"

"I woke up alone and I didn't like it. I came
out here to find you."

"You've found me, but I need to get to work.
Did Paul bring my car by yesterday?"

"Nope. He will tonight when Kayla and he come
by for dinner."

"What? You invited them to dinner? What am I
cooking?"
