Isla was restless too. She and Art had gone back and forth over this same issue. Their arguments had gotten quite explosive. After the directors had questioned her for hours, and then me, they had determined that she would be placed on leave with pay until a decision was made. They hadn’t made one yet and I was sure this was affecting her mood as well.
“Dammit, Art, I’m not doing any good locked up here. If something doesn’t happen soon, you may as well lock me up in a psych unit.”
I don’t know what he said back to her, but she ended the call and threw her phone across the room. Luckily, it didn’t break the thing.
“Hey, we both need to calm down.”
“Oh? Got any brilliant ideas on how we can do that?”
“Yep. Let’s go for a run. We need to release the tension.”
So we did. Two feds accompanied us and we took off down a country road. The safe house was in the middle of nowhere, about an hour north of Atlanta. With miles and miles of empty roads around, we had plenty to choose from and we did just that. An hour later we came back, feeling much better.
We sat in the kitchen, drinking water while the guys who accompanied us went to shower.
“Feel better?” I asked.
“Thanks, yeah. You seem to know me pretty well.”
“Not really. But we have been living together for a few weeks. It’s easy to read when you’re frustrated.”
She tugged on her ponytail and rolled her head around. “I’m so tired of being stuck here.”
“Is it the company? I’ve noticed you’ve been avoiding me lately.”
Her hand reached for the neckline of her shirt and tugged. “Actually, it’s the opposite. I’ve been staying away for a completely different reason.”
“Oh?”
She busied herself with her water bottle and acted timid.
“What is it? Have I done something wrong?”
“No. It’s just… nothing really. Stress, I suppose.”
“If you need to talk, I’m here.”
The desire to help her overrode everything. But there was something else. I was hugely attracted to her and it had become difficult to ignore. I hated she didn’t want to be around me. Running through all the scenarios in my head, I couldn’t come up with a single thing I had done to push her away.
“Thanks. Don’t think I’m not appreciative. And I’m sorry you’re stuck here with me.”
“Isla, if it’s any consolation, I’d rather be here with you than anyone else.”
She paused and I figured she would respond, but no. She walked away and I was left standing there. We’d been in such close proximity for the last few weeks it was hard not to recognize all the amazing things about her. She was selfless and caring. I loved how she was so into her dog, Ruffles. She adored that pup. As an animal lover myself, I never appreciated it when others didn’t care much for them. I could see if you didn’t want a pet, but not giving a damn about them was a hard no for me. Ruffles and I had bonded instantly. And Isla was happy about that.
Another thing I respected about her was her love for her family. They had a closeness, much like my family did. Even though her dad wasn’t in the picture, her mother nurtured their relationship and they were all very tight. She spoke to her mom almost daily. After abusing my parents’ love and support, to see this made an even greater impression upon me.
There were many other attributes I liked about her, but I couldn’t discount her looks. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. Huge green eyes complemented by a cute little nose and a mouth with lips I dreamed about kissing. Her long brown hair that I wanted to run my fingers through, was slick and glossy. But it was her endless legs that constantly drew my attention. I’d love nothing more than to have them wrapped around my hips as I thrust deep inside of her.
Shaking myself out of those thoughts, I headed to the shower. It never occurred to me to knock on the closed bathroom door, because it was usually locked when it was occupied. Except this time the room wasn’t empty. Isla stood there naked with a shocked expression on her face. And me, I was frozen in place, ogling perfection. The real deal was even better than I’d imagined and it would’ve taken God Himself to get me to look away.
Turned out, it was Isla who did it. “You just going to stand there and stare or are you going to join me?”
I swallowed the clump of cotton that threatened to choke me. “Did I hear you—”
“Yes, but if you’re going to make a huge deal out of it, I might rescind the offer.” Her eyes were bright, reminding me of priceless emeralds as one hand reached for mine. “Well?”
“Let this man drink in your beauty for a second.” And that was what I did as I slowly undressed. When there were no barriers between us, I approached her and placed both hands on her shoulders. “Are you sure because if I get under that water with you, I make no promises on what happens afterward.”
She frowned. “What do you mean?”
One finger massaged the crease between her eyes. “I mean that I’ve been wanting this since we got here and if we get in there together, I’m going to fuck you, Isla. Is that what you want?”
“Yes,” she whispered. “It’s what I’ve wanted too.”
After the water was the right temperature, I took her hand and we walked in together. Thankfully, it was a large shower and not just a bathtub. I soaped her up and then washed her hair. As she was rinsing it off, I quickly scrubbed myself clean. When she opened her eyes, she grinned. That was when I kissed her. I swallowed her moan and backed her against the tiled wall. Her mouth made me lose my sanity. I couldn’t imagine what the rest of her would do.
My hands wanted to learn every inch of her body, discover all the hidden secrets it held. Unfortunately, my cock had other ideas. As soon as I knew she was ready, I inched inside of her. She was slick with her need and moaned my name as I sunk in all the way.
God, was she ever tight. It could’ve been the fact I hadn’t been with a woman for a while. But the grip she had on my dick was enough to make me want to shout her name.
“Isla, Isla, Isla.” I couldn’t stop saying it. I needed to get in as deep as possible. I lifted her beneath her thighs and held her against the wall, banging her. Thump, thump, thump. Our hips collided with each thrust and every time they did, she murmured, “More.”
“Come for me, baby. I want you off before me. Use your hand.” I was using both of mine to hold her so that wasn’t an option.
“Almost there.” The words came out in a rush of air as she gyrated her pelvis against mine. “Again. Just like that,” she said.
I gave her what she asked for, and she was right. Her tightness clenched around me in a series of explosive waves.
“Fuck. I’m gonna come. I don’t have on a condom.”
I pulled out fast and finished the job with my hand. She grabbed my dick from me, and continued to jack me off, as I collapsed against the cold tiles and groaned. When we glanced at each other, I pulled her in for a kiss. We devoured each other like we were the only two people on Earth and the world was ending.
“Now my tension is gone,” she said.
I let out a chuckle. “Let me rinse off. The water is already cool.”
