I moan at the tenderness.I’m not the only one who’s missing out here.His dick is so hard I can see it bulging against the front of his pants.He comes every day, but it can’t be as satisfying as it is when he thrusts into me.
Hendrix helps me stand and dresses me without my assistance.He makes sure I’m completely put together, including dabbing at the dried tears on my cheeks.He gets my purse from my desk and guides me into the attached bathroom.
Hands on my shoulders, he meets my gaze in the mirror.“I think you look beautiful, but take a few minutes to make sure you feel okay about your appearance, and then we’ll go home, baby.”
I watch in the mirror as he leaves.He doesn’t close the door.Not surprising.The man doesn’t like me to have any privacy.It’s endearing, knowing he’s keeping an eye on me.
I don’t often drift into a deep subspace when we play, but I feel more vulnerable than usual, even though it’s been a while since he finally let me orgasm.
He’s right.I look fine.He did a good job.My face is a bit red, but not so much that anyone would do a double-take.I just want to get home.I have something I need to do.
Chapter17
Hendrix
I’ve been pacing my library for an hour.As soon as we got home, Kelsey went upstairs without saying a word.She hasn’t come back yet.She might be resting.She was exhausted after our scene in my office.But I don’t think that’s what she’s doing.I think she’s finally talking to her parents.
This is a big step for her.I get it.Even though she’s close to them, she’s never brought a boyfriend home or even shared the existence of one with them.She keeps her relationships close to her heart.
It seems the reason for her reluctance stems from the very fact that she is tight with her mom and dad.She’s always known that if she mentioned dating anyone, they would hound her for more details every time she spoke with them.
They’re good people.They care about her.But she wasn’t ready to share what we have.I’ll admit it was starting to make me nervous.I’m surprised how long she’s held off on telling them, even though I’ve withheld sex.It was made worse by the fact that I spent Saturday night buried in her pretty cunt.She knows what it feels like to have me inside her.It’s not an apparition.It’s a real sensation she’s familiar with and craves.
My stubborn girl has held out for days, but I was never going to back down.I hated walking into Myles’s house and finding Madison wearing nothing but a T-shirt, so obviously submitting to my best friend.It annoyed the fuck out of me that they kept that from me.I think that was worse than finding out they were together.
I’ve calmed down.I’m over the initial shock.I love my daughter, and Myles is still my best friend.They’re married now.He would never harm a hair on her head.They look at each other the way I look at Kelsey.
Because of what went down with Myles and Madison, I won’t let her lie indefinitely to her parents.It’s too easy.They’re clear across the country.There’s very little chance they would just show up.Plus, they wouldn’t come to my house without knowing she’s living here.They don’t even have my address.
What they do know is that her lease is ending on Friday.They also know she’s barely spoken to them since I arrived back in town.She takes their calls and begs off quickly, telling them she’s too busy to talk.That isn’t sustainable.
Nothing about this is sustainable.
I spin around the second I sense her behind me.She’s standing in the doorway, rubbing her hands together.She has changed out of her work clothes and into leggings, a sports bra, and a tank top.She looks so vulnerable with her hair tumbling around her shoulders and her bare feet shifting on the floor.
I want to go to her, sweep her off the floor and kiss her senseless.Instead, I don’t move.I wait for her to speak.
She clears her throat.“You were right.”
I blow out a breath.She called them.Thank fuck.And judging from the look on her face, it went well.
“They weren’t even surprised.They said they noticed the way I looked at you at my graduation party.”
I smile.Relief floods me.I didn’t expect it to be a problem, but it was always a possibility.
Kelsey draws in another deep breath and shuffles toward me.“They like you.They can’t wait to see you again.They told me to bring you with me when I visit.”
I reach out both arms, letting her come to me.
She releases her hands from in front of her and runs, throwing herself at me.
I stagger back a few steps as she jumps off the floor, wrapping her arms and legs around me.My hands come to her ass to support her, and I kiss all over her face.God, I love this woman.I want to tell her.I want to say those words out loud, but she’s too emotional right now for me to add to it.A lot has happened this evening.It can wait.
Kelsey’s small fingers come to the front of my dress shirt, and she starts unbuttoning it.
I chuckle.“So eager.”
“I need you.”
