Chapter 11
DREW
Izzy called me as we were finishing up breakfast, so I stepped out to talk to her. Her grandparents are taking her to a theme park as part of her Christmas gift, so the call was short. It did ease my mind to see her having so much fun. But fuck if I don’t miss her terribly.
Willa told me she had to go into town to run a few errands, so I’m using the time while she’s out to get some paperwork done.
Earlier in the year I was looking at buying a property just outside of Vail to renovate and either flip or use as an income property, but it had just gone under contract.
Now my broker has reached out, letting me know that the first deal fell through and it’s available again.
Looking through everything he emailed over, I know I’m putting an offer down.
It’s too good to pass up, especially when I know the payoff at the end could be so high.
I’m lucky to have lived all my adult life well under my means and invested wisely enough to have the capital to offer an all cash and expedited close.
I hear Willa pull up just as I finish sending everything out. Maya’s unmistakable paw steps muffle the sound of Willa following her up the stairs. Thank fuck they’re here because I’m not sure how I’d navigate this much time alone.
I open the door and grab Willa around the waist, pulling her back against me. “Maya, come,” I command as I step back into my house with Willa in tow.
She giggles and turns in my arms, tilting her head back so I can reach her lips.
Part of me was so disappointed when I walked into her bedroom last night and found her asleep.
It was even more of a challenge to not wake her when I slid under the covers beside her and realized she was naked.
But she worked yesterday, and I’m not an animal.
I’d already devoured her pussy and fucked her against the wall.
I can wait for what I really want. And what I want is her, naked and screaming my name on every surface of my house for the next two days. Which is why I cover her mouth with my own and kiss her deep and slow.
There’s a time for hard and fast, like last night where we were both frantic for more. To finally let ourselves give into the growing attraction between us. But now that we’ve done that, it’s time to savor one another.
My hand grabs her coat’s zipper and pulls it down before pushing it off her shoulders. It falls to the floor, and I don’t even consider picking it up as I direct us to my bedroom. Maya, being the smart dog that she is, stays curled by the wood stove.
Willa’s fingers find the bottom of my shirt and push it up my chest. I break the kiss just long enough to tear it over my head.
She takes the opportunity to do the same with hers.
A plain, black bra cups her small tits. As my lips take hers once more, I reach behind her and unfasten it.
The bra falls to the floor between us, and I pull her against my chest before bending to grab the back of her thighs and lifting her into my arms.
Her legs wrap around my waist as I walk over to the bed.
I need her naked like I need my next breath, so when she drops onto the mattress, I hook my fingers in the waistband of her leggings and tug them, along with her panties, right off.
She leans back on her elbows and spreads her legs wide open for me.
Her slick, pink flesh is on full display for me.
I fall to my knees quicker than a schoolboy at mass and bury my face in her cunt.
The taste of her, earthy and a little sweet, explodes on my tongue.
I have to squeeze my dick to keep from leaking cum already.
She bows off the bed when I hook two fingers inside her, moving them along the walls until I hit her g-spot.
“Fuck,” she cries out, her thighs closing around my head as I find the rhythm and pressure she loves.
I keep going until she loses herself to the first of many orgasms I plan to give her. The way she calls out my name as I keep flicking my tongue over her clit while tremors rock her body is the hottest thing I’ve ever heard.
I want more.
I need more.
She watches through hooded eyes as I stand up and push my pants down my legs.
“Can I fuck you without a condom?” I ask. “I’m tested regularly, even when I haven’t had a partner in over two years, but you can say no. I have plenty of condoms.”
“Yes. All my tests have been negative, and I’m on birth control.”
My dick surges with anticipation at the thought of filling her with my cum. More frantic need builds inside me as I flip her over on the bed. Any plans to go slow fly out the window when she tucks her knees under her, putting her perfect ass on display for me.
“Drew?” She says my name so quietly I almost don’t hear over the pounding of my pulse in my ears.
“Yeah?” I run my palm over her ass cheek and up to her hip.
“Do you have lube? I love having my ass played with in this position.”
I go still because how can she be this fucking perfect?
“It’s fine if you’re not into that, I don’t need it to get off or anything,” she rushes out quickly.
“Oh no, don’t mistake my silence for disinterest. I’m just shocked that you could be so amazingly perfect for me, is all.” I reach over and open the drawer, pulling out a bottle of lube. “Intelligent, independent, sexy as hell, and loves ass play? Fuck, you’re my dream girl, Willow Baker.”
She moans as I drag my crown along her wet folds and sink inside her. Her tight cunt welcomes my cock like it’s always belonged there. She wiggles against me when I still to open the lube, so I give her a test spank, light enough to not sting but hard enough to jiggle her flawless ass.
“Oh fuck.” She rocks her hips back and forth. “You can do that more.”
“More times or harder?” I ask as I drizzle lube along her crack.
“Both.”
Yep. She’s actually perfect. I bring my palm down on her ass again, this time harder, as I pull nearly all the way out and thrust hard back in.
Her fingers sink into the duvet, clutching onto it like a life preserver. The line of her spine as she arches back into me is so beautiful it should be sculpted. I spank her again, this time on the other cheek and hard enough to turn her pale skin pink.
Fuck, seeing my handprints on her ass brings me way too close to losing control, too soon. As I rock back and forth inside her I tease the tight ring of puckered skin, smearing the lube around before pushing my finger inside.
She cries out my name and rocks back against me, fucking herself on my cock and finger as much as I’m the one fucking her. My other hand grips her hip to still her, so I can take complete control.
“You want me to fill this pussy up with my cum?”
“Yes,” she answers with no hesitation. Her walls tremble around me, squeezing my cock as the first wave of her orgasm crashes through her body. “More,” she chants. “More, more, more.”
I slip a second finger into the tight ring of her ass and piston my hips in and out of her. Sweat beads on my temple, rolling down the side of my face as I do everything in my power to extend this moment. I never want it to end.
“Fill me up, Drew,” she commands in a breathy tone, her orgasm still milking my cock.
And I lose it. My cock surges with release, painting her walls with my cum. I pull my fingers out and drop my forehead between her shoulder blades as my orgasm slows.
She reaches an arm back and squeezes my thigh.
We stay in that position until both of us catch our breath, and then I muster the energy to stand back up.
I pull my cock out of her, watching in fascination as my cum leaks from her pussy.
Pearly, white drops run down her flesh, and I can’t stop myself from gathering them on my dry finger and pressing them back inside her.
“Let’s not waste any,” I say at the gasp she makes. “I’m going to get something to clean you up. Don’t move.”
“Couldn’t if I tried,” she mumbles into the duvet.
After wiping myself off, I walk out of my bathroom with a warm, damp wash cloth. She hums in contentment as I run it over her pink ass cheeks and then wipe away all the lube and cum. I pull down the duvet and sheets, helping her move up to crawl under the covers.
As soon as I join her in bed, she rolls toward me, resting her head over my heart and running her fingertips over my ribs. I kiss her forehead, and she looks up at me.
“That was incredible.”
“You’re incredible,” I correct her. Because she is.
I made good on my promise to spend both days fucking her all over my house, and then hers.
The rare moments where we weren’t tangled together usually consisted of us taking care of Maya or feeding ourselves.
Honestly, the moments in between sex, spent doing mundane things, might have been my favorite part.
Every conversation revealed something more about Willa, and I listened like I’d be given an exam afterward.
I’m on my way to Denver to pick Izzy up at the airport, and I know Willa’s probably getting up to go to work about now.
We didn’t talk about how we’re going to continue this once my daughter is home.
Izzy loves Willa, so it would probably make her over the moon to know that I want to start dating Willa.
I just don’t want her to get too attached and be heartbroken when Willa leaves for the summer.
If I’m being honest, I’m worried about myself being heartbroken, too.
Instead of dwelling on the inevitability of that scenario, I turn up the music and force myself to think of anything else.
It works, and before I know it, I’m pulling into the parking garage at the airport and sitting near the baggage claim.
I’m early, so I pull out my phone to check emails and messages, only to see a message from my broker that we got the house in Vail.
The plane just touched down, so I have just enough time to call him and set up a time to sign all the paperwork.
Once that’s all taken care of, I slip my phone into my pocket and walk over to the area where Izzy and her grandparents will walk out from.
Occasionally someone will give me a second glance, no doubt recognizing me from somewhere but not being able to put a finger on it.
I like to think of it as a perk of being a linebacker.
I was good enough at my position to be spoken of regularly by commentators and have my headshot flashed on television screens during most games.
But players on my side of the ball don’t get the flashy coverage of players on offense.
Honestly, fine by me. It is humorous to watch people try to put it together, though.
Depending on my mood I’ll either tell them I just have one of those faces or the truth. Usually the former, though.
“Daddy!”
My head snaps up as I see Isabel running to me, her dark curls flying behind her.
I kneel down and scoop her up as soon as her tiny body comes barreling into me.
I swear to everything precious in my life that my chest finally loosens for the first time in days.
I bury my face in her hair and blink away the happy tears that sting my eyes.
“I missed you so much, Bug.”
“I missed you, too.”
I meet her grandfather’s eyes over her head. “Doug.” I hold my hand out in greeting. “How was the flight?”
“It was great. This one couldn’t wait to get back here, though.” He smiles as he takes my hand and shakes it. “Bea will meet us at the baggage claim. She had to use the restroom.”
“Alright.”
He falls in step beside me, and I can’t help but feel for him. I know what losing Isabel would do to me. I can’t imagine how he feels. Especially when he looks at her because she looks like a clone of her mother.
Izzy still clings to me, so I keep on holding her even as we step up to the carousel. Doug and Bea will have luggage as well; his sister lives in Boulder, so they’re going to visit for a few days. Bea joins us a few minutes later and gives me a brief hug.
“I hope you don’t mind, I put a scrapbook of Crystal in Isabel’s bag. I labeled everything, so each photo has context to tell Izzy.”
“I don’t mind at all. Thank you for doing that, Bea. It’ll definitely help when Izzy asks questions about her mom.”
“You can always call us, too.” She sighs with tears in her eyes and runs her fingers through Izzy’s curls. “Whatever time, any day. Nothing matters to us more than she does.”
“I know.”
“Don’t cry.” Izzy lets go of me and reaches for Bea. “It’s okay, Grandma.”
“I know, sweet girl.”
After we get our luggage, I offer one last time to drive them to Doug’s sister’s house, but they won’t hear of it. We say our goodbyes before Izzy and I head out to the truck, leaving them to walk over to the rental car kiosk. I get Izzy buckled into her car seat and get us headed home.
