“Wow… that was amazing,” Lance said as he stood up. His hard cock was still flapping away in mid-air. He pulled up his boxers and then zipped his pants back up before fastening them. He ran his hands through is hair.
I pulled my pants up as well and stood up. My legs were a bit wobbly as I tried to stand. Lance noticed that I almost stumbled over and he grabbed my arm to hold me upright with a giggle. “Are you alright?”
“Yes,” I said. “I’m getting to old for being on the floor. My old age is finally catching up with me.”
“I think you have a few good years left in you,” Lance teased. He kissed me and then patted my ass.
I loved it when he touched my ass. It made me feel sexy and desired. He made me feel like the most desirable woman on the planet. It was refreshing. What woman doesn’t dream of feeling that way? And he did it to me, every moment I was with him.
“Great,” I said. “You always know what to say to a girl.”
“Just one,” Lance replied. He winked at me and followed it up with that perfect smile.
His phone rang just then. He checked it briefly. “It’s my mom. Weird… she usually doesn’t call me.”
“Answer it,” I said.
“Ok, I’ll just be a second,” he replied. “Hello? Mom?” he answered. There were a few moments of silence. “Wait… what? Slow down… what happened?”
I could tell by the tone in his voice that something horrible had just happened. I felt a lump in my throat and fear in my heart. It was tight in my chest making it difficult to breathe.
“Ok, I’m in Cleveland. Send the jet. It’s the fastest way,” Lance said.
He ended the call and looked up at me with tears in his eyes. “My mom… she said my dad just had a massive heart attack. He… um … might not make it…”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. All the air in the room was sucked out and it felt like some kind of vacuum, pulli
ng my consciousness through my eyes making them hurt so badly that I could barely see. Tears stung my eyes as well before they started to roll down my face towards my chin. My heart was breaking for him.
I rushed to his side and hugged him. He buried his face in my shoulder for a minute and had a good cry. He was trying to be tough, doing his best to stay strong, but it was all starting to get to him. He was overwhelmed. I could feel him finally starting to cave in, but then he suddenly pulled up and wiped the tears from his face.
“I’ve got to get to the airport. They are flying my dad’s private jet in. It’s the fastest way for me to get back to Cincinnati.”
“I’m going with you,” I said.
“Are you sure?” he asked me with urgency in his face.
“Of course,” I said. “I would do anything for you. I love you.”
Relief washed over his face and for a moment I could tell he wasn’t in soul crushing pain. “I love you, too.”
He grabbed my hand and we ran out the door. I locked it behind me quickly and then hopped in his car before we sped off towards the airport.
We’d actually said those words. I didn’t know what was going to happen next, but I knew my life would never be the same.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Lance
I stared down at my father’s empty body. He was not there anymore. His face looked very peaceful, like he was just sleeping. I was too late. I’d hurried to get there as fast as I could, to be with him before he died, but I was too late. The doctors did everything possible, to keep him alive, but he was too far gone. He’d had a quadruple blockage and he entered full cardiac arrest on the table when they were operating on him. He was gone.
My body was numb. I was in shock. I could barely even cry, or if I was crying, I didn’t really feel it. I just wanted so badly to reverse time, to take back some of the awful things I’d said to him, to let him know that even though I would never be the son he wanted, I was still his son and I loved him. I wanted him to love me too. I think he did, in his own way. At least, it helped me to believe that he did.
I hugged my mother tightly and held onto her. I thought I might fall over without her under me to hold me up. Or was it the other way around? She was quivering like I’d never seen her, shaking like a leaf. She and my father had not been close for a long time, but I knew she still loved him. And this was too much for her to take. I was also pretty sure she was crying for me as well.
I couldn’t stay in that room for long. I had to get out of there and get some fresh air. Being near my father was making me feel ill. I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t him anymore. He was no longer there. Just his body. He was gone forever. I would never see him or talk with him again. I’d wasted so much time over the years being mad at him about such petty, stupid things. What in the world was wrong with me? How could I have been so stupid? I should have just accepted him the way he was, realized he was never going to change, and just gone about my life. But he was so damn domineering that he wouldn’t really let you do that. No, he wouldn’t let me be myself around him. He practically forbade it.
But he was going to be nearly impossible to let go of. I walked out into the hallway behind my mother, the both of us crying as we made our way to the waiting room. It was too tense in there. I saw Kat sitting there looking worried. She knew how dire this was, and she had come with me to be supportive.
