Chapter Fourteen
I need food. And I can’t cook anything here. I could go to Ms. Patti’s but then I’d miss the opportunity to see Juliette.
Based on my track record here lately maybe I should avoid Juliette.
I pull up The Hidden Hollow’s social media, re-reading their post for the fifteenth time in the last hour. They’re open til eight tonight. Only serving a limited menu. I have an hour.
Slipping my phone in my pocket I get in the truck. I need to just make a fucking choice. And she’s my choice. She can ignore me if she wants to, but I’m going.
The two pieces of advice I got were to make her feel special and keep her in mind. Hiding here isn’t accomplishing either of those.
I spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to convince myself of that parked out front. In the end, I push open the door and walk in.
My eyes immediately start scanning to find Juliette. Only I can’t find her. A tap to my shoulder has me turning around.
“Cal.” She stands behind me with tears welling in her eyes.
Shit. I did the wrong thing again.
“I’m sorry. I’ll leave. This was a mistake.” I step to the side, pushing the double doors open again.
The brisk air hits my face, cooling them from the embarrassment of showing up and being kicked out in front of all those people.
“Wait!” Juliette calls to me in the darkness of the parking lot.
“I’m sorry, Jules. I really am. I don’t fucking know what the right thing to do-”
She shocks me by launching herself at me, taking my face in her hands.
“No. I’m sorry. It’s me. I never want to be the reason you second guess yourself. Your heart is so big, and it tears me up that I did this to you. I love you, Cal Davies. I don’t deserve you.”
“But, you said last night…” I trail off confused by her change of heart.
“I know what I said. I was wrong. I am wrong. And you need to get back on the squad. Lisa just told me what you did yesterday, and you’re a real life Superman. I’m so, so–”
This time I cut her off. Crashing my lips to hers. I fill every single sense with her, holding her tight to me.
“Does this mean you want to work on things with me?” I ask.
“Yes. I’ve always wanted to. I’m just not good at it.”
“We aren’t good at it. What about couple’s therapy?” I place her back on the ground in front of me.
“That’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever said. Can you forgive me, Cal? I made it sound like all your fault, but it’s not, I’m equally to blame and I’m so fucking sorry.”
“Hey! I’ve got hungry people in here! Can we speed this love fest up?” Dakota yells out to us, but doesn’t stick around.
“I love you so much, babe. I’ll never take you for granted again. Together we can figure this out. Because together is where we belong, nowhere else.”
“I can’t live without you, Cal. Life was miserable. I never want to be without you again. Come back in? I’ll get you dinner, and you can stay while I clean up?” She leans into me, wrapping her arms around my middle.
“Yeah, I can do that.” A smile splits my face.
I’ve got my wife back.
It took over an hour to get everyone out of here, and Jules made Dakota start the closing list as soon as we came in. Pulling up the speakers, I play You’re Still the One by Shania Twain while I help her clean up from the night.
“I have a better one.” She leans into me, pulling me close as the notes of Come A Little Closer by Dierks Bentley replace Shania’s voice.
“Mmm, I do like this one better.” I loop my arm around her waist, pulling her into me.
Resting both hands on her perfect ass cheeks, I keep her pulled tight to me and start swaying around behind the bar.
She reaches up, cupping my face in her hands.
“Cal, I’m so sorry.” Tears shine in her eyes under the dim lights of the bar.
“I wanted to tell you that in Bozeman. I know it’s partly my fault.
But then I let the old hurts take over and I let you think it was all you.
When I saw you after your shower, my heart broke into a million pieces.
I never want to make you feel that way again. ”
I lift her up into my arms so we are face to face when I tell her this. “I love you. To no end. You’re the only one for me. I was never going to give up on us because I hurt you. I don’t think either one of us holds all the blame. But together we’re going to fix it. So stop blaming yourself.”
“And you. No more blaming. We just need to focus on each other. Together.”
Capturing her lips with mine, my hands roam her body while her hands rest on my chest. Fuck I missed her touch. Her legs pull me in closer, meshing our bodies together as one.
“Let’s go home, babe.”
“I want you now, here.” She moans.
Using my arm to sweep all the contents off the bar, I growl in response to her moans. The glass salt shakers bounce on the floor.
“I’ll fucking clean it later.” My hands work furiously to get her pants off.
Chuckling, she says, “We’ll clean it later.”
Her fingers gingerly reach between us, unbuttoning my jeans and pushing them down over my hips. She pulls my boxer briefs down and my needy cock springs free.
“God, I missed your cock.” She slips down my body and off the bar, kneeling in front of me.
Stepping back at the push of her hands on my thighs, I give her more space. Her fingers gingerly grip my cock and position it for her lips to wrap around.
“Shiiiiiittt,” I hiss out when her tongue glides up the vein on the underside of my cock.
Her mouth works expertly sucking me in while her hand pumps the base.
“You need to… I’m going to come… I need your…” I can’t even get a coherent thought so instead I pull her up and bend her over the bar. “Goddamn it, woman.”
Leaning over her I cover her body with my own, nipping at the side of her neck. Slipping two fingers into her I work her clit with my other hand. Her writhing causes my dick to rub between her ass cheeks giving a sweet friction I wasn’t ready for.
Her moans and my growls mingle together to the beat of a new song.
“Inside me. Now.” I pinch her clit. “Now!” she screams.
“Come for me first, and I’ll give you what you want.
” My fingers crook, hooking her G spot that I know so well.
“I’ll slam into you hard and fast, hitting your wall, I’ll be buried so deep.
I’ll hold your hips so tight you’ll see my fingers marked on you for days.
I’m going to reach around you and tweak these hard as fuck nipples between my fingers.
And you’re going to take my cock like the good girl you are. ”
She screams out her pleasure as she pulses around my fingers and relaxes in my arms. Before she can finish riding out the orgasm, I do exactly what I said I would and slam my dick into her hard and fast until I’m so fucking close I have to pull out.
“Don’t. Don’t pull out.”
“But we’re not… you came off your birth control.”
She spins in my arms. “I want your baby, Cal Davies. I still want your baby.”
Tossing her on the bar, I pull her toward the edge, lining my cock up to drive into her once more. “Fuck, you feel so damn good.”
Leaning back on the bar, her beautiful breasts are pressed into her shirt. Reaching up I slide her shirt up to display them to me. I cup each one and suck her nipple into my mouth. Her legs wrap around my waist pushing me deeper into her pussy and holding a vise grip on my dick.
I move slowly as she holds me in place creating the friction she wants on her clit.
“Oh, yes! Yes!” She screams as another orgasm takes over.
The way she pulses around my cock sends me over the edge with her.
I spill my orgasm into her for the first time without a condom.
That thought alone could have me hard again in seconds.
We both ride out our orgasms together.
“Now, let’s go home. And do that again.” She smiles up at me.
“Your wish is my command, babe.” I kiss her forehead and pull her down, finding her pants and handing them to her. Pulling my own up next.
This night couldn’t be any more perfect than it already is.
