In The Moment (2 page)

Kevin laughed and slapped the table
top. The server excused himself and disappeared into the back.
“California?”

“What?”

“You have to be from the West Coast. No
accent and your obsession with fish and vegetables. You can’t be
from Texas.”

“Actually, I was born in Guam and I
have lived almost everywhere as a military brat.”

“Okay, you got me.” He leaned back and
ran a hand through his short, dark wavy hair. “So what brings you
to Texas?”

Maybe it was his relaxed nature or his
intense stare as if she was the only person in the room, Amber
found herself readily telling him about growing up in different
states and her college years in Southern California where she
discovered her love of and aptitude for volleyball.

He regaled her with tales about his
land located two and a half hours south of Dallas and his horses.
It seemed that Tessie was the love of his life. The thoroughbred
had both a personal trainer and a personal groomer. Nothing was too
good for his Tessie. He couldn’t know that his stories were just
fodder for her cowboy fantasies.

Kevin’s eyes had dipped to the opening
of her blouse several times during dinner. Her fantasy and reality
were perilously close to combining. She had turned the conversation
back to the project. Her life for the time being was a successful
ménage with her, her vibrator and her elliptical. The three of them
were very happy.

Amber looked around and saw that tables
were being cleared and the hostess stand was empty. They were one
of the last tables seated. “I guess we should go.”

“Junior ain’t got nothing to do
tomorrow.” He glanced over at their server leaning over the bar
looking bored.

“You’re mean.” She perched up on her
elbows, feeling the front of her blouse loosen. She liked teasing
him.

He motioned for their server and
stuffed a few bills into the bill jacket. “Keep the change.” Their
server’s face brightened considerably.

“I’ll walk you out.” He led her through
the empty restaurant into the crisp night air.

He followed her to her car and she
immediately positioned herself between the car’s door and him,
clamping her fingers over the cool metal.

He leaned in over the door, the musky
scent of his cologne wafted over her. “I had a nice time, Miss
Amber.”

“Me too.” She ran her hand over the
collar of her blouse to the low opening. “Except for when you were
trying to peer down my blouse. That was inappropriate.” She plopped
down into her seat and closed the door, leaving an open-mouthed
Kevin in the parking lot.

~~~

Amber had let him look down her blouse.
Kevin was positive that she had purposely leaned up on her elbows
knowing that he could see down to pink edging of her bra. She had
tilted her head to the side letting her hair fall to her shoulders
and then reclined quickly taking the vision away, grinning. She had
been teasing him.

During the meeting on Monday, she had
stood behind him and patted his shoulder several times during her
presentation. Once the meeting was over, he had asked her out for
coffee. She had refused, saying that she had a busy schedule and
ran her hands through the mass of hair that hung around her slender
face. Her dark brown eyes had sparkled in the glare of the sun,
causing him shift his weight to hide the growing twinge of
excitement.

Throughout the week, he tried to get
her to out with him. She was always busy with something, but he was
not going to give up that easy.

When he looked down from the roof, he
could see her walking around in a hard hat and navy blue suit,
asking questions and giving directives. He vowed that their next
night alone together would not end with him jerking off to pay per
view porn in his hotel room alone.

He saw her duck into the metal building
that had been constructed as an onsite break room. “Hey, Ronald,
can you finish the breakdown?”

He climbed down from the roof. Though
she had not initially agreed that the workforce should be split
between two projects, Kevin made sure that Amber understood that a
good roof would protect the investment below. It bothered him that
she questioned every decision that he made, but he quickly forgot
any irritation watching her toss her thick mane over her
shoulders.

He crossed through the construction
site as the guys were cleaning and clearing for the weekend. “Hey,
make sure those floors are covered before you leave”, he yelled to
one group. He had to make sure the site was in order before he
left, but he also needed to talk to Amber. He picked up speed and
rushed toward the metal building.

“You were never willing to try
anything….anything. You’re so freaking controlling…” A man’s voice
shouted through the metal walls.

Kevin swung the door open with a bang.
He looked past the man in the suit to Amber who curled her fingers
tightly around a paper cup, her chest heaving. She turned away from
the both of them.

“Is everything alright?” He glared at
the man, anger rising in his own chest.

The man stomped out of the room without
speaking, slamming the door behind him.

“Who was that?” he asked trying to
control his breathing.

“One of the accountants.” She threw the
cup in the waste basket and turned around to face him. She had
curved a tight smile on her face but he could see the corners of
her mouth tremble. She looked as if she was going to cry at any
moment. “We were engaged a few months ago.”

“Is he bothering you?”
Say yes and I’ll tear him apart.

“No. No.” She twisted her hair over her
shoulder. “I’m so sorry I missed the meeting yesterday. Lilly told
me that it went well.”

He looked at her, not wanting to
pretend to talk about work. She wrapped her arms under her chest
and her eyes glistened. He wanted to hug her close, to wipe away
the tears. “Amber, come see me tonight…” he lowered his voice and
approached her.

“I can’t.”

He stood a few inches from her and
brushed her hair over her shoulder. He pulled her to him and
planted a delicate kiss on her lips. When she didn’t withdraw from
him, he tugged her in closer and pushed his tongue through her
parted lips with an urgency that was difficult to control. He
pressed her into the counter, sliding his hands down to her hips
and back up to her breasts. She jerked her head back,
gasping.

“Come with me now.” He forced his words
out through ragged breaths before craning his neck up to taking her
earlobe into his mouth and tickling it with his tongue. She giggled
softly, encouraging him to go further than he planned.

He massaged her breast through
the coarse material of her suit, groaning that he couldn’t feel the
soft flesh. Amber moaned, circling her arms around his neck. Kevin
pushed his growing erection into her crotch. He lifted his head to
see her eyes flutter shut.
Damn, she’s
sexy
. He squeezed her ass and grinded into
her with hard, quick strokes. “We can leave right now.”

Amber opened her mouth to speak but the
metal click of the door silenced her. Kevin spun around as Ronald
barreled through the door. “Say Kev…oh, sorry.” Ronald’s eyes
widened and then shifted to the floor. “Whenever, you’re ready. We
got the final walk-through.” He backed out of the room and shut the
door.

Amber slid from behind him and
straightened her suit. She flipped her hair back, setting her mouth
into a tight line. “Kevin that was inappropriate.”

“I’ve been thinking about a number of
inappropriate things I’d like to do to you, Miss Amber.” He groaned
and leaned over the sink. “Are you coming tonight?”

“I’ll think about it.” She rushed out
of the room.

Kevin stood up, the ache between his
legs finally subsiding. He walked out and searched for Ronald,
hopeful that he would only have to wait a few more hours before he
had her.

~~~

Amber stood in front of Kevin’s suite
at just after nine. She had taken hours to decide to drive to his
hotel.

Harold’s words had opened wounds that
she thought had healed. She had believed him when he said that her
conventional nature had forced him to seek excitement with another
woman. With the aid of Kevin Miller, Amber hoped to live out her
own adventure. Proving Harold and the pained part of herself
wrong.

She took a deep breath and knocked on
the door.

It swung open to reveal Kevin in a pair
of jeans and a shirt with sleeves rolled up around his strong
forearms. “I thought I was going to have to go to Plan
B.”

She took another deep breath and
entered the suite, clutching her bag to her chest. He closed the
door and leaned against it not moving. “I’ll take your bag. Drinks
are out on the balcony.” His eyes swept unabashedly from her face
to her breasts to her hips to her bare calves, a devilish grin
spreading across his face.

She practically flung the bag at him
and hurried out to the balcony, her heart beating wildly in her
chest. She plopped down in one of the lounge chairs and grabbed a
bottle of water from the nearby patio table. Amber took several
large gulps and set the half empty bottle back on the
table.

She slowed her breathing and closed her
eyes, mentally preparing for whatever was going to happen. His
touch earlier in the afternoon had excited her almost to the point
of climax. He had no qualms about groping her in the semi-public
space and pushing his erection between her legs. The thought of his
large hands caressing her breast sent a wave of her heat through
her and she moaned unexpectedly.

“Thinking about me?”

She popped her eyes open and swallowed
hard. He made it very difficult for her to maintain her composure.
Kevin sat down facing her with a wide grin on his tanned face.
Amber scooted slightly to her left to accommodate him. She felt
like she was curling around him. “Kevin...”, she
started.

“We’re not working. So you call me Kev
like my friends do and I’ll call you Am…Sweetpea.”

“Don’t call me Sweetpea.”

He nodded his head not listening and
kissed her. His tongue hungrily explored her mouth, teasing her
tongue. He pushed her back, rolling his palm over her breast. She
fought to breath and pulled away.

Undaunted, Kevin attacked her neck with
the same veracity, sucking and biting down to the valley between
her breasts. He slipped the strap of her dress down and cupped her
breast. He raised his head up and watched his fingers curl around
to pinch her nipple. Amber gasped. “Kevin we’re outside.” She
couldn’t make her body move to pull her dress back in
place.

“No one can see, Sweetpea. And if
you’re quiet, no one will know what I’m doing to you.” His voice
deepened and his lips parted as he jerked the other strap down her
arms.

He dropped his head and sucked her
nipple into his mouth grazing the delicate skin with his teeth. She
brought her hand to the back of his head holding him steady as he
kissed and licked over her breast. “Ohhh, Kev…we should go
inside.”

He sat up quickly. She started to pull
the strap up. “Leave it.”

“Aren’t we going in?” Her voice was
almost a whine.

“I told you nobody can see us.” He
dropped to his knees beside the chair and slid his hand up the
short sundress to her panties.

She held back a scream at the
suddenness and audacity of the motion. He pushed her panties aside
and jammed two fingers into her wet opening. Her head dipped back
and she groaned loudly. “You have to be quiet now, Sweetpea.” He
spoke casually as if they were having lunch. He seemed not to
notice the fact that she was grinding against his massive fingers
under her dress.

He twisted and spread his fingers
inside her, rubbing his thumb over her clit with a pressure that
threatened to send her soaring off the balcony. He yanked the dress
up with his free hand. The cheeks of her ass squirmed over the
chair’s rough covering.

“I thought I could wait to taste you,
but I can’t.” He bent his head over his hand and flicked his tongue
over her bulging clit. He sucked her hard, still pumping his large
fingers in and out of her.

Amber arched back in the chair, panting
loudly and moaning as she exploded against Kevin’s fingers. He
pushed in deeper, the base of his fist bumping her ass. “Please
stop…Kev…please stop.” She curled her fingers into his hair.
“Please.”

He withdrew his fingers and licked her
once more. She squealed.

Kevin got to his feet and hoisted Amber
up over his shoulder and carried her through the balcony
doors.

Kevin pulled his shirt over his head
and unzipped his pants. He wriggled his jeans and underwear down to
the floor. His thick erection stood out from his body at full
attention. “You can scream all you want to in here,
Sweetpea.”

Though she still felt as if her knees
would buckle beneath her from when Kevin plopped her down on the
floor, she was not going to let this man think that he could just
take her like some hapless virgin in a porno flick.
