PARKER

“ Y ou know, for late April, the weather is really nice. I can’t believe the veranda is open.” Haley took another bite of food, once again deflecting and changing the subject from my direct question. She’d avoided the topic of work all night.

“Yes, well, we are having a warm spell this year. Maybe the pier will be open soon and I can take you down to get some cotton candy.” I pretended to not notice her clever misdirection, but I began to wonder why she made it a point of redirecting my focus.

“But you didn’t answer my question. I asked if you were finding anything at work difficult at the moment. ”

She sighed, her shoulders dropping. The breeze off the lake was chillier than I had planned, so I had given her my jacket, but now I was beginning to feel a bit cold. I tried to keep my muscles relaxed so I didn’t start shivering. It was a good thing we were almost done eating, anyway.

“Look, I don’t really want to talk about work.

It’s difficult for me to keep the professional side of this relationship separated.

” She looked up at me. “If we’re on a date, I want to talk about our personal life.

I know we’ll have some things to sort out if this gets serious, because every person wants their partner to listen to how their day went. Right now, though…”

“Say no more.” I held my hand up for the check and to halt her explanation. “I completely understand. Just answer one more question. How do you like the new car?”

Her grin returned in full force and she gushed. “I love it. It drives like a dream, and when I had to pick up my dry cleaning, I had space for everything and nothing got wrinkled. Thank you so much for the generous gift.”

“Bonus,” I said, winking at her. “So, you drive a lot around town?”

“Not really. Just errands in the evening and whatnot. The weekends get busy sometimes, though.” She wiped her mouth and draped her napkin over her plate. “I bet you have people to do all that stuff for you. Don’t you?”

I chuckled. “Yes, well I do have lots of people to do stuff for me, but the one thing they can’t do for me is relax.”

Haley drew the jacket around her shoulders more tightly. The dress she wore wasn’t exactly conducive to outdoor dining. As the sun set, the temperature dropped quickly. I felt bad for reserving the outdoor dining table.

“You have plenty of people to work for you at every level. You should just take some time off if you need to relax.” Her hand rested on top of mine, fingers brushing lightly over my wrist. “You seem stressed often. I bet a mini staycation would help you a lot.”

It was the perfect lead-in, and I couldn’t pass it up.

“Actually, I was thinking we should take a trip. You know, get away for a few days. Maybe we could have a long weekend and visit somewhere warm while we wait for spring to actually show up.” I turned my hand over, wrapping my hand around hers, and she grinned.

“Really?”

“Yeah, what place would you like to visit but haven’t seen yet?” I loved the curiosity sparking in her eyes.

“Well, I’ve never been anywhere on the West Coast, and I love beaches.”

“Los Angeles it is. We can visit Malibu, Santa Monica, the works. What do you think? We can go anytime, this weekend or next?” Just thinking of taking her away from this place fueled me.

Here in Chicago, we had to venture to places outside of our normal neighborhoods to avoid being seen by Vine staff members.

In LA or any other city, we’d have privacy to do what we wanted.

And I wouldn’t mind locking myself in a hotel room with her for five days straight, either.

“Yeah, alright, let’s do it.”

For the first time in this awkward relationship, I felt we were on the same page.

Things had been a bit touch and go, and with Jack Williams getting pushy, I was afraid Haley would shy away from me again.

I was relieved to leave that restaurant with her tucked against my side, arm around her waist. I led her to the car and we were greeted by Gordon, who said nothing as he let us into the car.

He knew I had an early meeting and thus, Haley would be going home because we discussed it before leaving to pick her up.

We started out into traffic, which was horrible this time of night on a Friday evening, and found ourselves stuck in a jam. I closed the window between the driver’s seat and the back of the limo and rested my hand on Haley’s thigh.

“I had a good time tonight, and I really can’t wait to take you away from here.”

She angled her body toward mine a bit and rested her hand on mine. I could have sworn she pulled it closer to herself. “I am looking forward to that too.”

“I mean, I’d like to take you home and show you just how much I’m looking forward to it, but you know I have to be on the plane to New York by four a.m. It’s already past eleven. With this traffic, I won’t get home until after midnight.”

This time, I knew she was pulling my hand closer to her body.

It slid up her thigh and inched beneath the edge of her dress.

“Well, that’s such a shame because I would love to know how excited you are.

Maybe there is another way you could show me?

” Again, she guided my hand closer, pushing it beneath the hem of her skirt.

“Oh, I think maybe we can figure that out.” I squeezed my fingers between her thighs, pushing until my fingertips felt the silk of her panties. “But I have to warn you, I didn’t bring a raincoat.”

She snickered. “I don’t have one either, but it doesn’t mean we can’t dance in the rain.

” Her playful wink sucked me in. I pushed my hand harder between her thighs and felt a hint of moisture on her panties.

She spread her thighs, and I began softly stroking her through the fabric, rubbing and stirring her up.

“Guess we can have drinks?” I asked impishly, and she bit her lip and nodded.

“I hear that sweet garden nectar is in season.” I hit a nerve and she hissed, pushing her hands against the leather seat on either side of her hips and rising up. “God…”

“And me without my stemware.” I rubbed her harder, then gently pushed her panties aside to feel the puddle growing there in her slit.

Haley clenched her teeth as my fingers sank into her opening, slippery and hot. “Guess you just have to drink from the source,” she moaned, reaching up and pushing on my shoulder.

The limo wasn’t a stretch limo, so there wasn’t much room, but she made it easier for me to enjoy myself and pleasure her by scooting back against the door.

She raised one leg, spreading herself wide and giving me unfettered access.

That is, after I used both hands to slip her panties down over her hips and feet, then clench them in my fist.

“Holding them for ransom?” she asked.

“Oh, I just might. But first, I’m really thirsty.”

She was mine, laid open like a holiday feast, waiting for me to delight in her.

I dived in, cupping my hands around her hips and pushing my tongue into her soft folds.

Her pussy was divine, juicy and sweet. I licked and sucked, smearing her juices all over my face until she was gripping my hair by the handful.

The more I ate her, the more she panted.

“God… In me… I need something in me,” she moaned, and I responded by taking the wad of panties in my hand and forcefully pushing them in with my fingers.

Her eyes went wide, and she groaned loudly.

I knew Gordon could hear us, and I didn’t care.

He knew enough to respect my privacy. I followed the panties with my fingers and began fingerfucking her.

It didn’t take long, and her orgasm came in powerful contractions that had her fogging the windows and calling my name.

“Yes… Parker, that is… oh, yes…”

I indulged myself, even after she had calmed. Her sex tasted amazing. I couldn’t get enough. But she pushed me away, and I took the hint. Besides, my cock was rock hard and ready to play.

“Oh, wow… That was incredible.” She laid her head back and caught her breath for a moment while I scooted back onto the seat and sat up.

I didn’t want to rush her, but my dick throbbed, aching for her to pleasure me.

I unzipped my pants, staring down at her still-bare pussy.

It was red and swollen, evidence of her enjoyment, and it made me so aroused I began stroking myself.

“Ah, ah… I get to do that,” she chided cheekily.

I was happy when she leaned forward to take my cock in her hand but disappointed that the view of her gorgeous valley was gone.

“Think there’s any milk in this thing?” she asked, smirking.

Her mouth wrapped around my length like a warm towel straight out of the shower.

Her tongue danced along my skin, teasing me as she started stroking and sucking.

“Oh, God, Haley…” I stroked her hair, pushing it away so I could watch her mouth take me in and spit me out.

She looked up at me out of the corner of her eye, and I started thrusting upward.

I growled, a deep, chest-rumbling growl, and she grinned briefly before moving her head from side to side.

Her mouth opened wider, and I felt my dick push into her throat.

The way her throat constricted around my head made me shudder.

I grabbed her hair and pushed hard on her head while thrusting upward.

She gagged, squeezing my cock harder, so I let her up, but she sank me deeper into her throat again.

Over and over, she repeated the action until she drove me to the edge.

I felt the pressure build to the point I thought my balls would explode.

“Fuck… I’m gonna come…” I looked around frantically for something to catch the load and realized she wasn’t backing away.

“Oh… shit,” I groaned when I realized she was just going to swallow it.

It drove me wild, pushing buttons I didn’t know I had.

I forced her head down again, shoving my cock into her throat, and let my load go.

My body spasmed, my cock pulsing as climax hit.

Haley swallowed every drop, making the sensation even better.

When she sat up, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled. “I guess we don’t need to go to your house for drinks now.”

I laughed and pulled her toward me, offering a chaste kiss. I wasn’t sure if she’d want to kiss me after I ate her like that. She responded with a peck then sat back and straightened her dress as I put myself away.

“I’m really falling in love with you, Ms. Spencer.”

The weight of post-sex relaxation made my eyes heavy, and I felt close to dozing off, but I could have sworn I heard her say, “I think I’m falling in love with you too, Mr. Danvers.”
