Chapter 23

David offered her a drink. And she took it. She watched him run his fingers through his sandy blonde hair. And she began to think about The Great Gatsby. How the choices we make in life can sometimes haunt us forever. She had left her marriage. She took that chance. And what if David was something she'd regret forever? She wasn't getting any younger. She didn't know how old he was, but she thought about Gatsby and Daisy. Could she see him married to someone else in a few years and honestly tell herself she'd have no regrets? Rhys was in the back of her mind. But he lived states away and had a career in movies. What would ever realistically come of that? Could anything? Was their attraction just pure sex? David was right in front of her. He was tangible. Real. Beautiful. Rich. (Not that rich mattered but damn it was good icing on his amazingness cake). She decided she'd slam her drink and see what she felt. So she did. She felt good still about this line of thought. "David" she said. "Do you really feel that way about me? What you said yesterday about any man being lucky to have a chance with me?" "Yes Pearl, of course I meant it." There was so much he wanted to say to her. That he waited for her to arrive at work everyday for a year, just to see her walk in. That he fought hard for her to get this promotion because she deserved it. That he'd walk by her office at lunch and catch her reading and it was the sexiest thing he'd ever witnessed. That she had the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen. How he was secretly thankful their hotel reservation was screwed up. How seeing her in that red dress the other night made him want to rip it off her body and lock her in the hotel room with him for days. That he thought she was strong. And brave. That he loved her ideas and how she expressed them. That this week was the single greatest week he's ever had with a woman and that he was madly in love with her. That he found a friend too. A real one. One that stood up for him. And nothing would ever keep him from protecting her now. But he couldn't tell her that. It was too much. Too soon. He looked up at her and offered her another drink. She took it, drank it and walked over to where he was sitting on the couch. She knelt down onto her knees and looked him in the eyes. "I needed a little liquid courage to do this. I'm sorry. I've never been this nervous in my life." She kissed him. Hard. Deep. And he returned it. She stopped him and looked at him again. "I want this. I want to be close to you. I want you to make love to me. I'll worry about my job tomorrow. But tonight I want to be yours." It seemed to take less than a second and he was lifting her up and carrying her into the bedroom. "Pearl, I want it too." He placed her on the bed. Kissing her gently. Carefully taking off her blouse, her pants. Her bra. Her panties. She was completely naked and he just looked at her, moving his hands up and down her body. Telling her how beautiful she is. How he couldn't believe she wanted him. She stood up and took his shirt off. She ran her hands along his body, looking in his eyes. It was a connection she'd never experienced before. She unbuttoned his pants and took them off. Next, his boxer briefs. He grabbed her and pulled her down on top of him. They were both completely naked and feeling his skin against hers was so erotic and so carnal. "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Held." David said. He flipped her over and kissed her, his hot breath on her mouth and neck. Then he slowly kissed her tummy. And went down further. He went down on her. It was the first time she'd ever had a man do that. He took his time, sucking and licking and kissing her. She almost passed out when her orgasm came. She couldn't even warn him. Her entire body tightened up and he pushed his fingers inside of her. "My god Pearl, I can feel you tighten around my fingers." He whispered. Then he was on top of her, pushing himself inside. He didn't even ask her about the pill. He didn't even seem to care. "I need to be inside you. I need to be as close as I possibly can be to you, Pearl." "I want to be that close to you, too, David. I'm in love with you." And with that, he moved all the way inside of her. He was relentless. Even Rhys was more forgiving. He fucked her hard. The intensity was almost painful but in the best way possible. She wasn't expecting this because it started so gentle. Now he was fucking her slow and hard, hitting her wall deep inside. Then he'd pick up the pace. Fast. Unrelenting. She was screaming out both in agony and intense pleasure. She couldn't even catch her breath. He turned her over and started fucking her from behind. He rubbed her bottom and moved his thumb to her sphincter. What was he doing? "I want to be inside every part of you, every hole. Is that ok Pearl?" She had never done that and was terrified. But the thought of it turned her on so much she nodded. He pulled out of her and rubbed her wet juices down her ass crack. "I'll take it slow" he said. And then he was slowly entering her. When he was all way in, moving in and out, she came almost immediately. "Good girl" he said. And continued a little while longer before pulling out and turning her over again. He kissed her and was once again inside of her, fucking her hard again. "I'm going to cum again" she said and in and instant, she was gripping his cock and clawing the skin on his back back and sides. This was unreal. He started to move slow and deep again and said "I'm going to cum. I'm going to cum so fucking hard Pearl." "Cum" she whispered. And he did. He filled her and fell into her like he was wounded. He stayed inside of her. And they fell asleep like that. Several times throughout the night he would wake up, hard inside of her, fuck her again til they both came and fell back asleep.

She woke up sore, and happy. He was still inside of her. She kissed the top of his head and woke him. "We need to pack. We a flight to catch in three hours" she said. "I don't want to pack. And I don't want to catch a flight. I never want to leave this room" David replied.
