41. Caleb
Chapter forty-one
A few days later, I’m waking up in my bed alone. But that is not how I went to sleep. The empty side of the bed is still warm, so Lex must be close.
I came back from Killara Bay yesterday morning with Lex following behind in the afternoon. She went home to pack a bag, then came straight here. I’m wondering how soon is too soon to just move her into my place completely.
I stretch my arms overhead, then throw the sheets back, walking to the bathroom to relieve myself. I’m not happy to wake up with a raging boner and no girlfriend to sink into. I’ll need to rectify that immediately.
I can’t hear any noises coming from the living room. When I open the bedroom door, no lights are on, but there’s just enough light streaming in through the open balcony doors that there’s an ethereal glow in the room.
I stop the second I see Lex. Leaning against the doorframe, I watch enraptured as she arches her back and stretches one arm over her head. A gentle breeze ruffles the curtains as Lex moves between her yoga poses in the open doorway between the living room and the balcony.
She leans forward, putting both hands down on the floor, and steps her feet back into the room holding herself in a plank position.
I just about come in my pants when she pushes her hips back and sends her arse up into downward dog, letting her shirt slip down and reveal that she’s not wearing any underwear.
She’s locked away in her mind, running through whatever it is she does during these exercises, and doesn’t notice as I cross the room. My cock leads the way as her glorious arse points to the sky on display for me, that pretty pussy exposed.
My hands grip her hips as I groan and say, “You’re lucky you’re not facing the other way, Siren.
If anyone else saw what’s mine, I’d have to punish you.
” She jumps a little with the initial shock of my presence, but soon eases into my touch, subtly wiggling her hips.
“Although I did wake up alone, with a hard cock. So maybe I need to punish you regardless.”
I run both my hands lovingly over the globes of her arse before squeezing the flesh.
Then, with my right hand, I lay a little tap against her cheek.
She jolts forward with a gasp, and I soothe the skin, assessing her reaction.
Her legs are shifting against each other as if to ease the growing ache.
I spank her again, a little harder this time, and she moans, sinking deeper into her stretch and thrusting her arse upward.
I can see her pussy as it clenches, the skin glistening where her arousal has started to build.
I drop to my knees behind her, perfectly eye level with her swollen cunt. I pry her arsecheeks apart, exposing her centre and that needy little clit that calls to me.
I spit on her, right at her opening, marking what’s mine. Her knees bend as lust weakens her, but I hold her up by her hips and bury my face between her legs.
Lex cries out as soon as my tongue makes contact. I let the flat of my tongue lick from her clit all the way to her entrance and dip inside of her, flicking quickly as my own need consumes me. She moans and bucks against my face as I continue to devour her like a rabid beast.
I reach my hand around her to massage her clit. Her arousal floods my tongue, and I groan as I feel it drip down my beard .
“Mmm, you taste so fucking good, Lex. Are you going to soak my beard so I can carry the scent of you with me all day?”
“Yes,” she whispers on a sigh, and shudders while I run my tongue up and down.
I flick over her clit then bring my hand back around. With my thumb and forefinger, I open her up further, swirling my tongue deep in her entrance.
She cries out, and I pull back so I can look down at her face. She’s still holding her downward dog position, but her eyes are squeezed shut, cheeks flushed as she pants uncontrollably.
“Do you like knowing that I’m constantly plagued with thoughts of you? Counting down the hours until I can lay my eyes on you again. Imagining you coming into my office and letting me eat you at my desk.”
I ease two fingers into her pussy and her body goes limp before quickly snapping back into position. I pump my fingers in and out. Precum gathers on my dick as I feel her clench around me.
I groan. “I’ve thought about that one a few times, Siren.
” I push my fingers down, rubbing against her G-spot while I sink my teeth into her plump arse.
“Your legs locked around my head, you dripping all over my desk.” I hum and close my eyes, envisioning Lex spread out before me.
I’ll bet my desk is the perfect height for me to fuck her as well.
“I need to fuck you now, baby,” I rasp. “So be a good girl and come on my tongue first.”
I twist my palm upward to allow room for my head to dip back in between her toned thighs. My free arm snakes under her pelvis so I can keep her hips angled up, then I run my tongue up and down her pussy, sharing space with my fingers as they drive in fast and shallow.
“Caleb!” she cries out and clamps down on my fingers.
Her body drops as she surrenders to her orgasm, but I hold her up so I can lap up her release, not wanting to waste a drop.
She shivers as I kiss her sensitive pussy, then I ease her down onto spread knees.
She stretches her arms in front of her, lowering her chest to the floor and turning her head to lie against the carpet as she takes deep breaths.
I rub my hands over her hips and up her waist, bringing my worshipping touch down her back. Tremors shake her spine, and I repeat the flow of my movements.
When I see her inhale long and deep, I’m satisfied she’s recovered enough and grip her hip in one hand and my cock in the other.
“Deep breath, baby,” I warn and then slam my dick inside her.
Lex screams and claws at the carpet while I fuck her with carnal need. Every time my hips snap against her, her arse cheeks ripple and bounce and I think my heart might explode in my chest with how much it turns me on.
“Fuck, Lex. So fucking beautiful,” I say through gritted teeth.
“God,” she whimpers.
I lean down, covering her back with my chest so I can whisper in her ear. “It’s Caleb. Make sure God can hear it when you scream it, baby.”
I run my hands along her outstretched arms and intertwine my fingers with hers. She’s completely cocooned by my body, the heat trapped between us making me delirious as I continue to fuck her.
“Caleb,” she says.
“He can’t hear you, Lex.” I can’t look away from her face as ecstasy consumes her.
“Caleb.” It’s a little louder, but still not good enough.
My heartbeat pulses in my head as I fuck her faster. Harder.
“Again.”
“Caleb!” she screams and clamps down on my dick. Sparks ignite down my spine and bursts through every limb as I release my cum inside her. Black spots dance in my vision as I beg for air.
“You’re right, Siren. Yoga is an excellent way to start the day.”

An hour later, Lex and I are drinking coffee on my balcony, snuggled together on the daybed with her back against my chest and my fingers running through her loose hair.
“Did Dylan mention anything after I left?” I ask.
She shakes her head. “No. He talked about how excited he was for the company to grow. How happy he is that he met you and Gage.” She takes a sip of her iced latte, then shifts so she can see me better. “Although every time he mentioned you, he’d then ask about the guy I was talking to.”
“How does he know you’ve been talking to someone?”
“He saw me get a text from you the first morning I arrived, and apparently, I was wearing a new smile because of it.”
My hand stills in her hair, one side of my lip tugging up. “Oh, yeah?”
“Mmm,” she hums and runs her hand along the inside of my knee.
“He liked the idea of someone making me happy. I still think I want to wait a while before telling him. I don’t want him stressing that the success of the distillery is determined by the success of our relationship.
I’m kind of wondering if he didn’t mention any suspicions because he didn’t want it confirmed. ”
I kiss her forehead. “I’ll always make sure you’re looked after.”
She smiles up at me, and I drop a kiss to the tip of her nose, then resume running my fingers through her hair. “I don’t know how this factors into things, but H&H Mining is hosting a charity ball next Friday. I’d love to take you as my date.”
Her hand stills on my calf where she was drawing circles, and I try to catch her eyes to figure out what she’s thinking. She takes a breath and moves her hand again, over my knee and the top of my thigh, then back down my calf .
“What about photos being taken? Won’t people ask questions about who I am to you and the fact that we’re working together?”
I take a deep breath, understanding that whenever I’m seen with a woman, the press does like to do a deep dive on who they are.
At this point, the first headline they go for is, Will he finally settle down?
Well, that’s an easy yes, but if anyone looks into Lex, I’m sure they’ll find her connection to Legacy Malt and, in turn, mine.
I lean over to put my coffee mug on the table beside us, then bring Lex’s face to mine.
“Hey. They can say whatever they want. We know what’s true. If shit hits the fan about our working relationship, we can turn the focus on Smoke and Barrel. That’s the real reason our business relationship came about.”
Lex chews her lip with worry, and I want to erase all her doubts. I take her coffee and put it on the table with mine, then ease her around and lift her so she’s straddling my lap.
Her hands land on my chest while mine frame her face. I run my thumbs over the freckles scattered on the apples of her cheeks.
“You mean more to me than any woman has in my entire life. You are the blood that flows through my veins and makes my heart beat. I could be scared of the intense way that you make me feel. But the truth is, I get so damn excited by the thought of you that I forget to question it. You make everything so good, and I just want to enjoy it. I want to make you feel just as happy as you make me.”
A single tear spills down her cheek, and I quickly swipe it away.
“Selfishly, you turn me into a pathetic sap who can’t handle a night away from his girlfriend,” I say with a smile as I stare into her pretty grey eyes.
She laughs as two more tears fall free, then buries her face into my chest before I can wipe them away, and cuddles into me .
“Whatever happens, I promise we’ll always be okay.”
“I’ll be yours, if you’ll be mine.” She says the words right against my heart.
