It’s as likely later this evening her mouth will surround my dick as my tongue will lap at her core. Not that I haven’t missed having her wrapped around me, but we found out a lot about what the other likes by avoiding sex the past few months.
I fasten my pants and sit back on the couch, admiring her in the bathroom. I love watching her dress. The way she points her dainty toes, gliding those stockings over her silky legs. My dick twitches when she slides her feet into new black Jimmy Choos and wriggles the bra she wore at the boutique over her head and searches for her black dress.
Lost in my thoughts and admiration of Paisley’s body, the knock on the door startles me. I slip a tee on before answering. Music floats in from the hall.
It’s Kelsey.
“Everything good?” I ask.
“You wanted me to tell you when Cris Sanchez got here. They seemed acquainted, so I sat him in the VIP section with Tom.”
“That’s great.” I’m amped for Paisley and Daveigh to meet. “Damn, I haven’t showered yet. Can you get them drinks on the house? Don’t let Cris start a tab.”
“Already done.”
“Julian?” I question.
The opposite door swings open, giving me a glimpse of the kid who broke the top ten on the charts this week and his band doing their pre-performance rituals in the dressing room. Julian exits, raising his palm for high-five. Kelsey slaps his hand.
“We’ve got it covered.”
Julian agrees and heads to check on the guys in the security and sound booth.
“Thanks, Kelsey. And thanks for sticking by. I wasn’t the best boss in the beginning.”
“Know what, Jake? I couldn’t have done this without Julian. But now that he’s here, you can disappear, and we’ll be fine.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. And Kelsey, if the two of you are confident in handling it, remind me I promised you both a raise.”
Paisley’s been supportive during the hectic end of the renovations. Being there for her, showing I’m as excited about her attaining her goals as she is about me reaching mine is important to me. If I can take the time off to be with my girlfriend, I’m going to do it.
A bar back hollers for Kelsey. “Gotta go, but a raise isn’t something I’m forgetting.” She walks away backward.
Pais is brushing mascara over her eyelashes when I bring the trousers and button down to the bathroom that I’m wearing of the opening. We switch places and she goes into the office to give me space and a few quiet minutes.
In the shower, I let the hot water run over me, loosening any lasting tension, and appreciating what I’ve accomplished so far. Whatever this Jake Ballentine’s skin that I’m wearing is, it fits me.
Outside the office door, my future awaits. VIPs who are eager for a glimpse at the venue before the house lights go down will arrive soon. There’s a ton of crap to finish before the doors open. I let it slide because Kelsey and Julian make a great team.
I pull on the clothes Paisley picked out for me to wear. She has exquisite taste. Paisley is my future, too. She’s also my here and now. My everything I didn’t know I was missing.
On the couch cushion, I notice her torn panties and offer them up on a finger.
“I didn’t bring more.” Her shrug is playful.
“I don’t recall saying you needed another pair,” I quip.
She shoots me an arched brow, taking them from me and dropping them into the trash.
“Zip me up. You’re going to be late to your own party.”
I do as I’m told. Then wrap my arms around her. She laughs again when I say, “They all know to wait. My girlfriend is a bad influence on me.”
Pais turns, adjusts my collar, and plays with the button on my shirt over my breastbone.
“I love you,” she says. “No matter how any night after tonight goes, I’m proud of you. I’m…” She pauses, stowing herself. “Don’t do it again, but I’m glad you ran to figure out you.”
I cup her cheek. “I’m glad you ran, too, so I could figure me out… Don’t you do it again, either.” I press a gentle kiss to the crown of her head. Then I chase after Paisley when she drags me toward the door. We have a whole road ahead of us and I don’t want to miss a moment of it.
