Chapter Two
The limo pulled up to a much grander estate than Kelsey imagined.
The house was hidden from the road with a long drive through thick wooded foliage.
Breaking into the sunlight both girls gasped at the magnificent lake front property.
The house itself was pristine white with blue shutters.
Two stories high, there were windows where they could look straight through the house to the lake beyond.
A large barn and several smaller outbuildings were situated at the outskirts of the manicured lawns.
“I thought you said you lived in town?” Kelsey asked, awestruck.
“This is in town, or nearly,” Ty replied smiling as he opened the door.
“It’s all relative. My practice is a few miles up the road.
It’s close enough to be convenient, but I like my privacy.
Later I’ll take you around so you have a general idea of where we are in relation to town and Marcus’ place.
Would you like a few minutes to say goodbye to Susan, Sweet Pea? ” he asked gently.
“Yes, please,” Kelsey whispered.
“I’ll give you a hand taking in Kelsey’s bags,” Marcus offered, getting out of the vehicle.
“Are you going to be all right?” Susan asked shifting over to Kelsey’s seat and taking her hand.
“I think so,” Kelsey answered squeezing tightly. “I mean Ty’s great isn’t he?” she asked hopefully, raising her blue eyes to Susan’s.
“He’s perfect,” Susan assured her with a laugh. “He’s sweet and kind and sexy as hell. The house is beautiful and I know he’s going to take good care of you. Did you bring your movie?”
“It’s packed, but I’ve watched it so many times I think I have it down. I may never be able to watch a ‘Meg Ryan’ movie again after this. Are you sure normal women make that much noise when they…you know?”
“I don’t know about all women,” Sue answered thoughtfully, “but based on my personal knowledge I think it’s pretty close. Ty will think he’s a master stud if you can pull it off and hopefully, in time, you won’t have to worry about faking it.”
“I’m not holding my breath for that,” Kelsey replied. “I just want to please him and as long as it’s not too painful I should be good.”
“Kelsey, before they come back I want to ask you something. Do you think you’ll be doing the grocery shopping?”
“I don’t know, maybe,” Kelsey replied. “We haven’t really talked about it, why?”
“Well, Marcus is planning to starve me with healthy foods and I think he said something about the housekeeper doing the shopping. I was wondering if you would mind picking up some of my favorites and stashing them for me, just in case? At least then when I come over I can get my Cheetos fix,” Susan said grinning.
“Unless you’re worried about getting in trouble? ”
“No, that should be all right. Ty never says anything about what I eat, and besides he’s not really a spanker like Marcus. I’ll figure something out.”
“Thanks Kels, I appreciate it. I’ll call you as soon as I can,” Sue promised just as the men returned to the car. Kelsey got out and Ty took her hand, leading her into the house.
Susan stayed where she was, across from Marcus until he snagged her wrist and pulled her over and onto his lap. Burying his face in her hair he sighed, his arm firmly around her.
“Ah,” he sighed, breathing in her fragrance. “Alone at last,” he whispered approvingly.
“All right you lecher, take it easy,” Sue replied. “There’s still the driver you know.”
Marcus laughed, sliding one hand down and massaging her bare foot gently. Working his way back up her leg, he pushed her short skirt out of the way as he stroked her delicate skin.
Sue squirmed as he lingered at the inside of her thighs, her stiff back relaxing in pleasure despite herself. When his large hand moved higher, cupping her firmly, she moaned in delight.
“You’re wet,” Marcus groaned.
“Whose fault is that?” Sue asked, her breathing rapidly accelerating.
“Mine, I hope and I intend to keep you that way, wet, hot and needy. How do you feel about going commando?” he teased, lightly stroking her clit through her panties.
“That is exactly the kind of question you ask when your hand is not buried between my legs,” she gasped.
“But you’re so such more amenable this way,” Marcus replied, smiling as he bent to kiss her neck.
“Exactly,” she agreed, her thighs falling further apart as she arched into his hand. “It’s an unfair tactic,” she panted, loving the feel of his erection pressing against her ass. “You just think it will be easier to spank me without panties.”
“Red, any spanking you get from me will always be on your bare ass,” he laughed. “Panties are a minor inconvenience, easily remedied.” As if to prove his point he slipped his finger under the edge of her panties and gathered her moisture, rubbing it over her clit in slow circles.
“Marcus, please,” she begged as her head fell back, exposing more of her neck to his kiss. Her hips arched, trying to steer him inside her but he wouldn’t be rushed and in fact lessened the pressure as she pushed against him.
“Settle down, Red. We’ll be home soon,” he breathed into her ear.
“Fuck you, Marcus,” she growled, sitting up and grabbing his shirt in both hands. “You started this fire and you damn well better be good at putting it out.”
“Such language coming from such a delicate little thing,” he laughed, pulling his hand out of her panties, giving her one final pat as the driver turned off the road.
He wasn’t kidding about the mountain lodge.
It seemed they went uphill for a long time on the winding driveway.
Suddenly they broke through the trees and Sue stared in absolute amazement at the huge log structure.
The entire front was a wall of glass reflecting the beauty of the landscape back at her.
A wide veranda spanned the front and wrapped around the side of the lodge. Sue could see a huge in-ground pool with a rock waterfall on one side. The place was enormous and she stood outside the limo on her bare feet, frozen in awe.
Marcus was pleased with her reaction. He’d designed the entire lodge himself and despite the rustic look, it had every comfort known to modern man.
He left Susan standing there while he and the chauffeur carried the luggage into the foyer.
Returning quickly he bent and tossed her over his shoulder, carrying her into the house like a marauding warrior, giving her a crisp smack on her butt.
“Come on, Red,” he said grinning when she squealed. “Come see your home for the next year.”
“That’s nice Marcus, real nice. Thanks for embarrassing me in front of the driver,” she hissed.
“Johnson? He’s been my driver for several years and is the soul of discretion,” he assured her, kicking the wide door closed and setting her down.
“That’s beside the point. I’ve known him for all of five minutes and I don’t like…”
Sue’s voice fell away as she turned and looked into the great room, The outside wall had a natural stone fireplace big enough for her to stand in.
The chimney, exposed all the way to the rafters, which looked to be more than two stories high.
At the far end there was another wall of windows, matching those on the front and the lake glistened in the sun.
Taking her hand he pulled her to the glass and opened the sliding doors, stepping out onto the back deck.
“See that white house?” he asked pointing, across the lake. “That’s where Ty and Kelsey live.”
“Do you have a boat?” she asked, thinking it would be much easier to see her friend by going across the lake.
“Several, but there are no motor boats allowed on the lake and believe me your perception of the distance is deceptive. I’ve rowed it many times and it’s farther than it looks from here.”
“Oh,” she said softly. Guess speeding across the lake to visit Kelsey and getting her junk food fix was out of the question.
“Do you want to see the rest of the house?” he asked.
“Yeah, sure,” she replied as he led her from the room.
His office was on the first floor, at the opposite end of the house, the window facing the lake.
It was comfortably furnished with oversized everything, including the desk.
The walls were lined with book shelves and there was a fireplace on the outside wall.
The mantle had several framed pictures and Sue studied them.
There were pictures of two small identical boys with what she assumed were their parents and another with an older couple, grandparents probably.
A picture of a beautiful blond woman caught her attention and she picked it up for a closer look.
“Who’s this?” she queried looking at Marcus as he shifted through several papers on his desk.
“That’s Bianca,” he replied looking up to see what Sue held.
“Who is she?”
“She was someone very important to me, once upon a time.”
“Where is she? What happened to her?”
“She lives in France with her husband,” he answered, leaning against the desk, his arms crossed over his chest as he studied her reaction.
“So you didn’t stay together…why?”
Marcus sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he turned to face the windows before he answered.
“I loved her, but I couldn’t make her happy.
She didn’t understand what made me tick, couldn’t accept some of my proclivities,” he stated with a grimace.
“It would never have worked out. For a while I thought I could live her way, but as time went on I became more and more frustrated and she became more unhappy. She knew I wasn’t satisfied.
She’s a beautiful woman; it was difficult for her to understand why her beauty wasn’t enough. ”
“Did you spank her?”
“I did, several times in fact. She couldn’t or wouldn’t accept that it’s part of who I am.”
“Is that why you turned to Sugar Babies?”
