Unwillingly, I leave the warmth of her mouth and lean my head against hers. We’re panting like two horny teenagers who can’t get to second base and it’s so frustrating. And more than anything, I’d love to feel how wet her pussy is for me right now. But, if it hadn’t been for Lili forfeiting, this foreplay never would have happened.

“Zane, I really have to leave before I do something I’ll regret.”

“It’s just a kiss. Albeit a fucking sexy one, but just a kiss nonetheless.” I close my eyes, give her one last kiss and stand up as quickly as I can. Putting distance between her and her luscious breasts pressing against my chest is a necessity. “Please excuse me for a moment.” I walk into the bathroom as fast as I can to adjust the bulge in my pants. I’m sure Lili felt how much I want her, but it’s one thing to know and another to see.

After a few minutes tick by and my raging hard-on is back to somewhat normal, I head back into the living room. Regret crawls up my spine when I notice she changed back into her own clothes. “Lili, if you insist on leaving then please take off those wet clothes and wear what I gave you. Return them or burn them but you’ll catch your death with those on.”

“I’ll turn the heat on in my car and they’ll dry in no time. Thank you for a lovely Thanksgiving, but I really must go.”

Why do we keep dancing around each other and continue playing these foolish games?

She’s already at the front door by the time I catch up to her. For whatever reason she wants out and now. I quickly grab my keys, take off the spare and hand it to her. “Here, take the key and come over anytime you like. Write out on the deck, in the cubby or sitting at the island. Someone should enjoy all of this if it can’t be me.”

My heart tilts when she shakes her head. I won’t take no for an answer, so I open her clenched fist, place the key in the center and close her hand. This time I shake my head when she’s about to protest.

“Goodbye, Zane.” Her voice as well as her hand trembles as she reaches for the door handle, but I beat her to it.

“The last thing I want to do is pressure you, Lili. But, at some point in time, you’ll crave the passion of the storm. And when you do, I’ll be waiting.” I leave a lingering kiss on her cheek before she has a chance to walk away. Lili is a flower who’s waiting to be plucked, she just doesn’t know it yet. I watch until she turns the corner and then I slowly close the door. Lili is going to be a challenge. She’ll come around. She doesn’t know it yet, but patience is one of my greatest qualities.

Now, I’m going to have another glass of wine and a cigarette. If Lili wants to be stubborn, then so be it. But the next time she wants to see what’s behind the locked door, I’ll gladly show her.

Walking out onto the back deck, I sit on the chaise lounge. The same one she sat in earlier. It’s still wet from the rain, but it doesn’t faze me in the least. Just because Lili is my new obsession, I can’t help wondering what Dakota is up to. Especially since we spent several holidays together. So I send her a quick text.

Zane: Hope you’re having a wonderful Thanksgiving, Dakota. Keep in touch.

Dakota: I’m happy and I have you to thank for it. Love you hard, Z.

LILIANNA

Going to Zane’s was a huge mistake. Huge. He’s so different than Ryder, yet I’m still attracted to him. Obsessed, really. If we are a storm like he claims, then I fear we’d blow out much too soon. And it would kill me if I had to live through that kind of pain again. As much as I’d love to push my boundaries and take this to the next level, I can’t. He’s just a reminder of what I could have had, and it devastates me.

I’m exhausted by the time I get home. Both physically and emotionally. It takes everything I have to get out of the car, walk into the lobby and get into the elevator. My emotions are all over the place and the last thing I want to do is break down and cry. Not a happening thing.

I peel every single piece of clothing off me as soon as I walk in the door and head straight for the bath. I turn the knob to hot, close the curtain behind me and let the rising water envelop me like a cocoon. The hot water feels so good that I break out in goose bumps from my head to my toes. The heat was on high all the way home and yet I was still chilled to the bone.

Grabbing the body wash, I lather up and begin washing the memories of today away. Zane’s kiss broke me into tiny little fragments. And when I press my fingers to my chapped and bruised lips, I know they’ll surely be a reminder of him for days to come.

After stepping out of the shower, I quickly dry off and put on a pair of panties and night shirt. If Zane could only see how sexy I look now. I’m exhausted but I know falling asleep will be tough. Even after bathing I can still smell him on my skin. His scent lingers in my hair and is embedded in my mind.

I wish I knew why we had this intimate connection. When his skin touches mine, it sends little jolts all throughout my body. Lust so overpowering that you want to rip each other’s clothes off. Lust was always something I would write about but never felt on this kind of level. Ever. I love Ryder with all my heart and being intimate with him just brought us closer together, but I never felt that jolt. Truthfully, until tonight I never knew I was missing out on anything.

It’s after two when my phone rouses me from sleep. Nothing good ever comes from a phone call this early in the morning. “Hello. . .”

“Lili, I’m so sorry for calling at such an ungodly hour, but I have a huge favor to ask.” Oh my god, it’s Natalie. Something must be seriously wrong.

“Anything, Natalie. You know that.” I’m now wide awake.

“It’s Zack. He was out with a client tonight and she stole his cash and credit cards. I’d go pick him up but I’m at Mary’s for Thanksgiving weekend. If there were someone else I could call I would, but you’re the only one I know who lives close by. His fucking client was a nut job and I already reported her to the police. Zack and I will go down and file the necessary paperwork on Monday.”

I flip on the light and lean against my headboard. This sounds like a whole heap of trouble. “I don’t know, Natalie.”

“Aw, sweetie. He’s downstairs in the lobby. He didn’t want to knock on your door until I called you. Just let him crash for a few hours and I’ll send a car for him first thing in the morning.”

Oh, good god. “Fine, send him up.” So much for getting any sleep now.

“You’re the best, Lili. I owe you big time for this one.” Oh, she has no idea I’m keeping track.

A few minutes later, Zack raps on the door and I reluctantly let him in. “Lili, you’re a lifesaver.” He pulls me in for a hug and I can’t help wondering if he’s drunk. He smells like a barroom and his eyes are glassed over. Great. All I need is a drunken man in my apartment while I’m alone. I might be a statistic on the morning news. “Did Natalie tell you what a fucking nut job that client was? She was pissed because I wouldn’t fuck her, so she slipped me a mickey and stole my shit. All I want to do is sleep. I’m exhausted.”
