Eli
One Week Later
At first, I thought I was hearing things.
It took a few minutes for the haziness of my sleep to wear off, and then I heard Falcon’s voice.
For a while, I just lay there, refusing to believe this man was in my damn room.
He’d meant it when he said he wouldn’t make the mistake of not communicating with me again.
Every day for the past week, he called and texted.
As much as I didn’t want to tell him how much I appreciated the effort, I did.
It was so easy for him to buy me things and take me out, but when the extra layer of physical intimacy was added and things started to get more vulnerable, he pulled back on me.
While I understood this was new to him, I wasn’t sure if it was worth it for us to go through.
It wasn’t like this would last forever. What was the point of opening him up and exposing him to being loved if it was going to be over soon?
It was smarter to just end this now—that was what I’d convinced myself of.
So this trip that he thought we were about to take couldn’t happen.
Sitting up in bed, I groaned and wiped my eyes.
“Falcon Cameron Grove, the fuck—”
When he extended a coffee cup in my direction with a cocky smile, I snapped my mouth shut. I took a sip, savoring the warmth of my favorite latte. I smiled and did a little dance in bed before returning my attention to the man casually invading my space . . . and my closet.
“Falcon, what are you doing here?”
“Packing your bags. Get up and get ready to go.”
“I thought I told you I wasn’t going anywhere with you.”
“And I thought I told you that you were.”
My eyes rolled as I set the coffee on my nightstand and crossed my arms over my chest. “You can’t make me,” I whined, but the longer he pulled outfits out of my closet and put them on the bed, the less resistance I had. “And what about my brother?”
“I told him I was taking you out of town. He threatened me not to have you bent over somebody’s balcony, but that was it.”
“What?” I asked carefully in disbelief. “You mean he’s okay with us going out of town together?”
“You’re a grown ass woman, Eli. He can’t tell you no. I didn’t tell him this wasn’t part of the plan, so maybe he thinks that we’ll be doing things for publicity. This shit is personal though.”
“He’s really okay with it?” I confirmed softly.
Truth was, my brother was all I had. My mother was gone, and me and my father weren’t close at all.
I couldn’t take him being mad at me or being at odds with him.
My old therapist used to tell me I wasn’t responsible for how people reacted to my actions and that I was good as long as the things I did were best for me and not intentionally being done to hurt or discredit someone else, but still.
That was an easier concept to hear than act on and believe.
“Yeah, bae,” Falcon replied, coming out of the closet with more of my clothes.
“He talks a lot of shit, but your brother knows he can’t tell me what to do—even when it comes to you.
He trusts me, and though I feel like I’m betraying that trust, I’m still going to do the right thing in the end, so that’s all that matters. ”
With a sigh, I massaged my temples. Isaac had left for Miami yesterday, and seeing as he had to have seen Falcon unlocking the door and coming inside on the camera, he was obviously okay with this.
Falcon made sure to look me in my eyes when he said, “I want some uninterrupted time with you. Can I have that?”
Unable to deny how much I wanted some alone time with him as well, I took another sip of my coffee then headed to the bathroom as I told him, “Yes. You can have that.”
I peed and brushed my teeth and washed my face before telling Falcon to come and take a shower with me.
My eyes scanned his frame, zeroing in on his hard, swinging dick.
It curved to the right slightly—long and heavy.
My mouth watered, but when he gripped my neck and forced me to look at him, I realized I might not be able to have him in my mouth.
“Can I taste you?” I nodded, eyes lowering. “Vocal yes, Eli.”
A moan escaped me when his grip around my neck tightened. Briefly, I licked my lips and bit the bottom one before consenting with, “Yes.”
Our lips connected, and Falcon picked me up and set me on the counter.
I squirmed and moaned as his lips traveled down my body.
Large hands covered my breasts, squeezing and kneading and tweaking my nipples.
My legs wrapped around him, but that didn’t last long.
Falcon spread them and lowered himself to my pussy, licking and sucking and eating until I was a cumming, convulsing mess.
I expected him to rush his way inside of me, but that wasn’t the case. The kisses . . . the touching . . . making me cum with his mouth again and again. By the time he did lift himself, my body couldn’t stop shivering. My chest couldn’t stop heaving.
“Turn your pretty ass around so I can have this pussy,” he commanded.
I turned and got on my knees on top of the counter, looking at him as he slid inside of me.
My eyes instantly rolled into the back of my head because of the fullness.
The length. It felt like forever had passed since he was first inside of me, and that was a dangerous way to feel.
It made me feel like I needed him inside of me daily.
“Open those pretty eyes and talk to my woman.” His hand smacked my ass, and I moaned as I fought to open my eyes. “Tell her how pretty she looks taking this dick.”
My mouth opened, and a whimper came out as my walls clenched around him.
“I-I look so pretty taking your dick, baby. It feels s-so good.”
“Mhm.”
Swift, hard strokes filled me at a medium pace while one of Falcon’s hands wrapped around my neck.
The other gripped my waist and arched my back just enough for him to fill me even deeper.
Crying out, I gave up the fight to fuck this man back.
He was having his way with me, and as good as it felt, I was quite alright with that.
The Maldives
“Aight, so don’t judge me. I didn’t plan the trip, so if you don’t like it, I won’t feel bad. I had my travel agent and personal assistant put the itinerary together,” Falcon shared with me. He was so cute and innocent looking when he wasn’t completely sure of himself, which rarely happened.
We’d been here long enough to sleep the day away yesterday, waking up only for our private beach dinner. This was the longest trip away from home I’d ever taken, and I loved that I got to create this memory with him.
“Seeing as I’m always the one planning trips, I couldn’t care less if you did or hired someone. I’m just glad I didn’t have to do it, and I’m sure it’s going to be great, Fally. What’s on the agenda for today?”
He grabbed his phone, then said, “Hmm . . . We’ve already had our floating breakfast, so next is snorkeling and watersports, and then dinner and potentially seeing the sea of stars.
They put a note here that we might not be able to see the sea of stars and that it’s usually brighter starting next month. ”
“Cool. I don’t care. I love a trip to the beach anyway.”
He chuckled. “Are you always this easy to please?”
“Yep.” I agreed, shrugging my shoulders with a smile. “I don’t really care what we do. I’m just glad I get to do it with you. Plus, you know I love active activities and the ocean, so I’m going to be in heaven snorkeling and jet skiing. I’m so excited!”
Falcon walked over to me in a two-piece linen set that put his wide frame on full display. I could admit he was sexiest on the field, but there was something about the white outfit against his skin that had both my mouth and pussy getting wet.
His arms wrapped around me, and only a second passed before he was picking me up. I loved being in his arms, and my body instantly relaxed against him.
“I take great pride and pleasure in being able to spoil you. I want you to enjoy every second of this trip. If there’s anything I can personalize to make that happen, let me know.”
“I think the only thing that’ll make it even more perfect is having you inside of me when we get back to the villa.”
“Oh, I was gonna do that anyway.”
I laughed and gave him a quick kiss before he put me back on my feet.
We took a few pictures together and separately before heading out to get our day started, and yet again, there was a permanent smile on my face.
I knew it was my responsibility to heal, be happy, and maintain my peace, but Falcon was effortlessly increasing my happiness and peace and making it feel safe for me to love again.
Justin wasn’t the first man to cheat on me, unfortunately, but this was the first time it had been done in such an unnecessarily disgusting and disrespectful way.
I thought I’d still be sad and angry, but every day I spent with Falcon made me grateful I was no longer with Justin.
