A couple of hours passed, and all the arrangements to head back to Portland were set up. I thought for sure that Lanie would have come down from her room, but when she didn’t, I began to get concerned. I had only today left to spend alone with her, and I wanted to make the most of it. I didn’t want her to worry about telling me what happened, but I needed to assure her that whenever she was ready to talk about it, I would be here to listen.
In the meantime, I needed to respond to Brian’s email and let him know that I would be back in Portland tomorrow night. I also needed to let him know that Lanie wouldn’t be with me and wouldn’t be able to attend the dinner, if the invitation was still open. Hopefully it was, because he would be getting the biggest surprise of his life. Hitting the send button, I placed my phone in my lounge pants and head up the stairs to check on Lanie.
I knocked lightly on Lanie’s door and waited for her to open it. It took a while, but when she finally did, I could tell that she had been crying. Her eyes were red and swollen. I couldn’t imagine the torment she was going through, but that wasn’t to say I couldn’t feel her pain. Reaching across the threshold, I took hold of her hand. “Lanie, I know what you are feeling is beyond anything I could comprehend. Everything Winston and Brian did to you will not go unpunished. They will pay. I promise you that.”
When Lanie looked up at me, something was lost in her expression. The gleam and happiness that once adorned her eyes was gone. She was fighting to hold back her tears, and her pain compelled me to pull her near. I wasn’t sure if it was what she needed, but it was something I needed to do. I felt the need to let her know that no matter what, I was here for her, and whatever Winston and Brian had taken from her, it would never change the way I felt.
Lowering my lips to hers, I kissed her gently, absorbing the moans surrounded by so much emotion. When I pressed my tongue between her swollen lips, she opened her mouth, and in a surge of heated passion, I explored every inch of her cavern. Lanie wrapped her arms around me and pressed her body hard against mine. I wasn’t sure what was happening between us but knew that I didn’t want it to stop. Lifting her from the floor, her legs wrapped around my waist, and I held her tight, never wanting to let her go.
Something must have snapped inside her to cause her emotions to unleash in such a way. I wasn’t complaining, but still, there was a hint of concern. More than anything, I didn’t want her to regret what was about to happen. Breaking our connection, I set her gently on the bed and towered my body over hers. Her eyes were on mine, and I could see the desperation inside them. Swiping my hand across her cheek to move a stray hair, I whispered, “If you ask me to stop, I will. I want this to be right for both of us, Lanie.”
She said nothing as she claimed my lips. There was an urgency to her kiss, and the fight was on as she began working her hands beneath my t-shirt. This wasn’t how I expected things to go. And even though I wanted it to continue, I still needed her to confirm that she wanted this. Damn, I hoped she didn’t stop me from doing what I had waited so long to do. “Lanie, I need you to tell me what you want in words.”
“I want you. I want you to take away all the bad and fill it with good.”
This time my lips were on hers, right where they belonged. Instead of rushing to tear away my clothes, Lanie held me close. I was the one ripping away her clothes. Her robe came off first and she was forced to release me, but only long enough to pull her arms through the sleeves. God, she was beautiful, and I wanted become familiar with every inch of her body again. My fingers slid beneath the straps of her nightgown, pushing them off her shoulders and down her arms, exposing the tops of her creamy breasts.Perfect beyond belief.I couldn’t help but lower her nightgown to expose the perfection of her taut nipples that pressed against the soft silk of her nightgown.
Lanie let out a small whimper when I clasped my mouth around her nipple and began sucking and lapping the hard peak while grazing my tongue across the tip. Not even the gods above could bribe me away from tasting her sinfully delicious sweetness.
When her breath hitched, I thought maybe she was having second thoughts about this continuing. But when her hands raked through my hair, pulling me closer, I knew that she was all in and ending this was nowhere in sight. “That’s it, baby, let yourself go. Feel all the pleasure I am about to give you.”
Snaking my hand under her body, I guided her further onto the bed and positioned myself between her legs. Her nightgown was wrapped around her waist, denying me full access to her body. Kissing the valley between her breasts, I lifted my head for a moment and said, “Lift your hips, sweetheart. Your nightgown wasn’t invited to this party.”
As soon as her hips were in the air, her nightgown was off and on the floor. Her panties soon joined the pile of clothes on the floor since they also needed to go. Kissing her deeply, the vibration of her moans rippled against my tongue, through my body, down to the very tip of my already straining cock.This woman would have me completely undone.
