Home Made
She
was driving him crazy, pure and simple. And the hell of it was that she had no
idea, NONE that it was happening in the day-to-day reality of their
association. Normally he prided himself in being unflappable, a cool head in
any situation since Criminology tended to throw just about everything at you
but the LAST thing Warrick Brown ever expected to broadside him was—
--A
homemaker.
Oh
yeah, that’s what she really was, in all honesty. In a town with a reputation
for the exotic, the wild and crazy side of human nature it was amazing to find
a Betty Crocker moving through the crowds of gamblers, hookers, grifters and other hard-boiled types. Like
finding a big plump raisin in a mouthful of oatmeal, that little sweetness
making up for a lot of unpalatable taste.
Warrick
laughed softly to himself, wondering where this poetic streak had come from.
Certainly it wasn’t the sort of thing he normally came up with, but in this
case it seemed to fit. He licked the inside of his mouth, still tasting the
faint hint of meatloaf in it. Homemaker, yeah. She
cooked and cooked WELL if the general consensus was anything to go by. Not that
she needed that to make her attractive, but it helped.
Warrick knew he had a pretty
basic Maslow hierarchy going, and almost all his
needs were met on the lower rungs, right up to love and companionship.
That level was pretty dry, truth to tell. He had hookups, ladies for a night
here and there no problem, but it was always on a strictly physical basis. None
of them were more than a good scratch to the itch and that was fine with him.
Fine.
Really.
Okay
maybe not sometimes—getting laid was always good for the body, but rolling away
and leaving afterwards, driving around Vegas just to decompress wasn’t what he considered
fulfilling. The trouble was that the women he COULD talk to he didn’t dare
sleep with, and the women he slept with didn’t want to talk—a delicious irony
that wasn’t lost on him.
He
wanted a relationship and didn’t have a damned idea how to get one going.
Sighing,
he stretched out on his sofa, one arm behind his head, the other across his
stomach. He closed his eyes, letting his thoughts wander, and like clockwork
they drifted to
Slipping
into a townhouse, not wanting to wake her, pleased to have remembered the code
this time for the security gate. Patting the dog, checking
the phone messages, roaming through the semidarkness of a home and knowing the
way by memory.
His home.
Their home.
Moving
stealthily upstairs, pulling off his shoes and socks, passing by the bookcases
and pictures and blended eclectica of their lives,
savoring the secret pleasure of belonging to Lydia as much as she belongs to
him. Finding satisfaction in knowing she’s in their bed, waiting for him.
A soft
glow of light from the master bathroom lights his way and he steps in,
stripping down quickly. He dumps the laundry in the hamper then steps into the
bedroom, gaze locked on the bed. She’s there, yes, right there—
Sprawled
sweetly on her stomach, long honey blonde hair fanned out across her back, the
edges of her pink lace nightie barely reaching her
curvy ass—
Warrick
always stares, cannot HELP but stare at the sight of
her sleeping. So sweetly vulnerable like this, nowhere near the calm competent
technician he works beside. THIS
He’s
not a sentimental type, but some things cannot help but be cherished if only
for their intimacy. Warrick pushes off the doorframe and in a few strides,
gently drops on his side of the bed, laughing inside. His world is pampered now
with things like fabric-softened sheets, clean towels, vacuumed
carpets.
From somewhere deep in his past he remembers
the definition of a sacrament: an outward visible sign of an inward invisible
grace. As he slides towards
She
rolls sleepily to him, seeking his coolness, warming him with the press of her
curves. Warrick lets her snuggle against his chest, burying his nose in the
rich scent of her clean hair. It’s not the color that captivates him, but the
texture, the heavy weight of its glossy strands.
“Booty
inspector—“ he whispers into her ear, making her snort
against his neck.
“I see
you found it around back—“ comes her sleepy reply. Warrick
chuckles and squeezes again.
“What’s
a nice white girl like you doing with a fine ass like this?”
“I’m
living with him—“
“Oh
that’s COLD, baby—“ he laughs, letting her kiss his
throat. He shifts, pulling her onto him, letting the weight of her settle
against his body. She wriggles and makes him groan.
“Ooooh, someone’s glad to see me,”
“Not my
booty—“ she teases. He grunts a little, feeling his
cock pressed between their bodies, swelling eagerly in the maddening shift of
skin to warm skin. Warrick pulls her forward, sucking in first one hard nipple
then shifting to the other as primitive urges surge within him.
“Almost
better than—“ he tells her gruffly, scraping her
sensitive skin with his stubble.
And she
moans, that low throaty sound that drives him wild.
It’s a ‘fuck me’ noise plain and simple and Warrick strains hard not to just
grab her plush hips and plunge upward hard and fast. She’d let him, but he
prefers to take his time here in the sweet darkness of their little world. He
throbs deep within her, engulfed in slick, slick heat,
blind with a passion that tightens his heart and balls at the same time. Lydia
rocks against him, hands on his damp chest, hair swaying around them both.
She’s muttering softly in Polish, words he knows come only from her lust for
him: Ukochany, kocham ciebie Warrick, ohhhhhh—
He pulls her close as their hips reach a powerful
synchronicity, mutual lust rising hard and fast now. With tender precision,
Warrick lightly rubs the ball of his thumb over the tiny pulsing nub deep at
the top of the curly blonde cleft between her thighs. Lydia stiffens, her back
arching as her orgasm pulses around his cock, milking it and Warrick gives
himself over to the hot wild pleasure as he comes himself, deep and high----
Warrick wakes up alone, throbbing. A sense of embarrassed despair washes over him as he stares down at his
crotch, noting the seepage, wondering why he preferred his dreams to the easy
reality of cruising the Strip. And as he slowly gets up from the sofa, wincing
at the wetness, peeling off his jeans, he bites back a bittersweet chuckle at
the answer that comes to him:
Because he loves her. Even if he’ll never take that
gamble to push things further.
As he carries the jeans to the washer he pauses—
--And adds fabric softener.
