He stoically stood there and chewed, his eyes watering. He groaned harshly on a swallow, hiding it with a moan that he hoped sounded like he enjoyed it. As he was currently struggling to clear his throat, fighting for his life, he noticed he wasn’t the only one.
Johnathan’s face turned a color he’d never seen before, and Colin silently laughed to himself as he saw the big guy scootch his plate till it was completely against his body and hunkered down over it. Hiding his face from all of them as he shoveled it down. Finishing on an incredibly alarming cough, he stood up quickly and grabbed a cup, filling it with water before sucking that down and then filling up and drinking another one.
He tossed Colin a single bottle of water before bringing one over to Vanessa. His color was almost back to normal.
“Well! What do you think?” Olivia asked breathlessly, tucking a thick lock of hair behind her ear and smiling so prettily.
“Oh my gosh, you did it this year sis. You do it every year, in fact!” Vanessa quipped, saying a lot, without actually saying anything at all. Colin noted that as a unique talent of hers. He briefly wondered how she'd be in politics.
Olivia beamed, blinding Colin with its loveliness.
“Yes Olivia, that was definitely mac and cheese! You do this every year girl? That’s uunnnbelievable,” Johnathan answered quickly, following Vanessa’s lead.
Olivia nodded proudly, completely oblivious. Colin refused to lie to her so he relied on how well he was with words to circumvent.
“And,” Colin stated quickly behind, draping the foil over the pan and hurriedly putting it in the refrigerator. “Because you’re so damn smart, you saved yourself time tomorrow from having to fix another one, so it’ll be one less thing for you to have to do the day of. I knew I loved you for a reason,” he let slip, the endearment coming out before he could even think.
He froze, hearing complete silence behind him.
Shit. Hmmm, Colin growled in his head, squeezing his eyes shut hard.
Colin silently cursed to himself as he closed the refrigerator slowly. Pausing, he took a deep breath before turning to face her. He stared at her as her face reddened, her eyes wide, the mac and cheese fiasco effectively forgotten.
“Aww,” Johnathan chuckled, breaking the silence. Pulling Vanessa closer, who suddenly stopped secretly trying to scrape her tongue on the side of her teeth. She was looking at Olivia with interest.
“You don’t have to say anything,” Colin whispered sheepishly. “I’m sorry, it just slipped out,” he admitted, turning without looking at the others, grabbing their plates and taking them to the sink. Mentally slapping himself.
In the window’s reflection he saw Vanessa turn and glance at Allison, before slowly dragging her gaze back around and staring at Olivia with an expression in her eyes he couldn’t place.
The interaction niggled at his brain, making him off center.
Olivia came up to him and hugged him from behind. Pressing her cheek to his back, not saying anything. She rubbed her hands down his chest and stomach, stroking him unashamedly. Johnathan had thankfully changed the subject, boasting about how their vehicles and software had been picked up for distribution in Asia, and how some hot shot CEO there had wanted to buy the rights to the software if Colin was interested. Johnathan knew Colin wasn’t interested, but also knew that talking about work took his mind off things.
Colin did the dishes by hand, not ready to turn around yet and face them.
Eventually the tension naturally dissipated, and they went back to normal as the doorbell rang, signaling the delivery of the Chinese food he ordered for their dinner tonight.
They ate, putting Allison to bed before settling into the lounge with drinks, watching a movie. He noticed Olivia was drinking slightly more tonight, and when she tried to get her fourth drink, he slowly ran his hand down the length of her arm, quietly taking it from her and placing it firmly away where she couldn’t get it.
Olivia got on top after they’d all gone to bed. Colin drank up her breathless moans as she ground herself on him, falling forward and taking his mouth rather desperately as she worked over him to find her release. His hands were everywhere, in her hair, grabbing her breasts, her hips, helping her move.
Not having her on top often, he took time to appreciate how fluidly she moved. She didn’t bother to jerk herself around on top of him like most women do when they’re on top. She gyrated, really giving him a show, running her fingers through her hair, and down her body, caressing herself so he could see, making it so good for him.
And when he was ready for the curtain to close, he flipped her and gave her his best standing ovation, his lips devouring her cries as he circled nice and deep.
He went to sleep with that niggling feeling in his brain. He knew Vanessa knew something that was crucial, and those sly looks meant something. Instinct told him that maybe whatever she could tell him could unlock Olivia’s heart. Vanessa had the key.
Everybody But You
The next morning Johnathan woke him up with a text. He slept in late, not able to fall asleep for a long time, his brain not letting it go.
Bro, is she freaking serious? Did Olivia tell you about this shit? -J-Dawg
What are you talking about? I just woke up. -C. Kent
APPARENTLY we can’t eat until Thanksgiving dinner, it’s tradition. Oh, and your girl is already cooking. It’s eight! Everything’s going to be burnt by five. And she’s putting something in a pot that makes last night’s mac and cheese look like a prime rib comparatively. -J-Dawg
He tried to type as he got up to pull on his clothes, but Johnathan beat him to it.
