Story: Her Vagabond Heart

Jesus Christ, my brother liked the sound of his own voice. “Rhett! I’ll be in the office this afternoon. I don’t know why this can’t wait until then.”
“Because no one waits for the World Series, brother.” On the screen, Rhett turned his chair and threw a baseball against the wall, catching it neatly when it bounced next to him.
“Asshole.”
Wolfe started talking, something about agility, speed and how some guy had a cannon for an arm, apparently. Sounded dangerous. And on they went.
I stifled a groan. There were so many other things I could be doing right now. Stef was top of that list, since we’d be leaving the beach house within the hour. Me to Raleigh, Stef to Esperance. All I wanted was to spend the rest of our time…not with my brothers.
As if on cue, my study door opened and Stef wandered in. Without looking at me, she headed across to the picture window, standing with her arms folded as she gazed out at the ocean.
I watched Stef as Rhett droned on and on about baseball.
“The asshole isn’t even interested.” Rhett’s voice danced around the edge of my awareness, and I sighed in frustration.
With her back to me, Stef reached for the top button of her shirt. It was like she was pretending I wasn’t there as she undid each button with excruciating slowness. Finally, she pulled the shirt open and let it slip from her shoulders and fall to the floor.
Then she started humming softly, reaching for the button of her ripped jeans. Glancing at me over her shoulder, just to make sure I was watching, she undid the button and slowly lowered the zipper. Of course I was watching. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Rhett and Wolfe were still talking, but it was like a fly buzzing around in the background. Annoying as fuck, but not worth my attention. Stef pulled her jeans down, bending so she could pull them off all the way. I got an eyeful of her black lace panties, which instantly had my dick twitching.
Suddenly, the noise from my laptop stopped and I glanced at the screen, just in time to see Rhett’s eyes widening. “What the fuck? He has a naked woman in there with him.”
Wolfe laughed. “How the fuck can you tell that?”
“Just look at his face!”
Stef straightened, stretching her arms over her head before running her hands down her body, unclipping her bra and letting it drop to the floor with the rest of her clothes. The wicked grin she gave me as she slipped her panties down shot straight to my cock.
“Yeah, meeting’s over guys.” I snapped the laptop closed on Rhett’s yelp of protest.
Stef’s laugh was husky, skittering across my skin as she sauntered toward me. “We didn’t want them here, anyway.” She straddled me, pushing her fingers into my hair and kissing me deeply.
“I want to do something with you,” she murmured against my lips.
“Yeah? Let’s hear it.”
She pulled back and grabbed my phone from the desk. Holding it up to my face, she unlocked it and pressed a few buttons while I watched.
“We’re going to make some music.” She held the phone up to show me she’d opened the sound recording app. “You know. Just to get you through those long nights when I’m not there.”
I raised an eyebrow at her. Taking that aschallenge accepted,she hit the record button and dropped my phone onto the desk.
Stef wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me, and I let out a groan of hungry need. This woman was going to be the death of me. I slipped my hand under her ass and stood up, dropping her onto the desk. She laughed in surprise as she landed, her long hair falling in waves around her shoulders.
“I know you want a duet, but I’m more interested in a solo performance.”
“Mmm, okay,” she replied, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
I pressed fervent kisses down her neck, playing with her breasts, running my tongue over her nipples until she was panting and writhing against me. My cock throbbed in response, aching to be inside her.
I dropped down on the desk chair and pulled it close, lifting Stef’s legs so they were over my shoulders. Leaning down, I took her in my mouth, sucking and licking at her clit, massaging her with my fingers. She moaned loudly, digging her nails into my back. I could feel her body trembling with desire, her hips bucking against my hand. Wanting to make it last, I took my time, savoring every moment, every moan, every gasp. I wanted her to come so hard that she wouldn’t be able to stand. Wanted to make her scream my name, to beg me to never stop. Wanted to leave her breathless and hungry for more.
Finally, I felt her body tense and I knew she was close. I sucked harder, faster, and she screamed in orgasm, her body trembling in my hands.
I let her come down from her high, kissing her gently and holding her close. When she could finally speak, she whispered, “Jesus. Fuck. That was amazing.”
I chuckled. “It’s cute that you think we’re done.”
