away if I tried. My keep it simple motto was morphing into something completely out of my control. She’ll be gone by Sunday and things will go back to normal. I felt as if my sense of normal was changing, though, and it scared the shit of me. This beautiful woman had slipped into my life and flipped it on its heels. Fuck! I raked my hands through my hair and considered whether or not to stay home tonight . It’s better if I don’t go. The second I made my decision, I heard a knock on my door.
“It’s open!” I shouted.
The door swung open and Sarah walked in. She had on a pair of ratty worn jeans, a grey thermal and black Converse. She wasn’t wearing any makeup and had her hair up in a ponytail. After last night, I didn’t think she could get any prettier. I was wrong. Xandria, without makeup, was not a pretty sight. Sarah, however, was a different story. Some women had it. Some didn’t. This woman had it in spades.
“Well, look what the cat dragged in. What’s up, buttercup?” I asked.
A look of uncertainty appeared on her pretty little face and I wanted to wipe it away. “Ummm, I just wanted to apologize again for last night. I don’t want you to think I used you, because I didn’t. I mean, I’m not like that. I swear.” A flustered Sarah was both cute and sexy. Before she could say anything else, I had her in my arms and over my shoulder.
“Really? This again?” she sarcastically clipped.
I smacked her on her ass, before dropping her on my bed. Then I stripped her bare and refused to enter her until she swore she hadn’t gone home with one of those two guys from the bar last night. She laughed in my face.
“For your information, you are the only man I have ever gone home from a bar with, boyo.”
Her confession made my gut twist. I played it off by teasing her. “Boyo?”
She opened her mouth to reply, but before she could get the words out, I shut her up with my tongue. Then I slid on a condom, plunged my dick inside her luscious body and rode her deep and hard.
After we cleaned up I ordered pizza and we ate it together naked in my bed. I had her two more times that night, once on my living room sofa and once in the shower. After the shower, we crashed hard. Sometime in the middle of the night I felt her crawl out of bed and kiss the side of my neck. Before she could get away, I pulled her in for a second, much longer kiss. I had to work late tomorrow night, but had Saturday night open. It was her last night in town and I had to see her one last time.
“Come over Saturday night.”
Her eyes searched mine and she smiled. “It will have to be after ten. Remember, my brother’s getting married.” I was relieved she didn’t ask me to the wedding. I didn’t do weddings, or brothers for that matter.
“I’ll be waiting.”
She leaned down and gave me another kiss. “See you then, killer,” she whispered.
I followed her to the door and watched her safely get into her car.
I spent most of the next night on an unproductive stake out with Bobby. He asked me all kinds of questions about Sarah, but I had no answers. No, we weren’t a couple. No, I wasn’t going to pursue it any further. Yes, the sex was out of this world. In another life, I would chase her down and make her mine. Of course, I told him none of this.
Saturday morning I woke early and went to the gym. Bobby showed up halfway through my work out. He wanted to go for drinks at a new bar called Dragonfly that night, but I told him I had shit to do. I drove home, took a shower and made myself some eggs for breakfast. I had just turned on the morning news, when my cell rang.
“Cas here.”
“Cas, it’s Alexandria, don’t hang up.” Her voice sounded sober and clear for a change. I didn’t hang up, but I also didn’t engage her in conversation. “You told me when I was ready you would come and take me. Well, I’m ready,” she bluntly stated.
“Today? Look Xandria, I am happy that you are ready, but can’t this
