“She came out here and I asked her if she should be doing that without you. She said she wouldn’t have if it had been anyone else, and I told her that was smart. She was just telling me about school.”
“I don’t want you talking to her.”
“And why’s that?”
“We’ve had enough of men like you in our lives.”
“Men like me?” I don’t attempt to hide my offense.
“Yes, men who charm their way into our world, pretending to be something they’re not, knowing full well they’ll just throw us away at the earliest inconvenience.”
“Jesus Christ, Juliette.” I shake my head. “I don’t know what man-hating podcast you listened to today, but that’s not my intention at all, and in fact, the other night I’d planned on saying just that before you got pissed and tossed me out.” I can hear my voice rise and I attempt to calm myself down, but it’s too late. “I was trying to be responsible and tell you that while I didn’t regret what happened between us, if it happened again or went further, that’s all it could be: something physical. I’m not looking to confuse you or your daughter. I was hired to do a job and I’ll do it. I will keep both of you safe, and if things get physical with us, then so be it, but we’re both adults. We both know we aren’t each other’s happily ever after, and we want different things. If you don’t want me talking to Chloe because you’re afraid she’ll get attached, then fine, I get that. But don’t lump me in with the deadbeat pieces of shit who have hurt you or abandoned you, because I’m nothing like them.”
Her shoulders drop and her face softens. “I’m sorry,” she says, bringing her hand to rub her forehead. “You’re right, I’m just projecting.”
“I’m sorry,” I say, stepping up onto the porch. “I shouldn’t have raised my voice, but I want you to know that I meant what I said. I know I probably sound like a complete asshole saying that I have no intentions of pursuing anything outside of a physical connection with you, but I’d rather be perceived as an asshole for being too honest than hurt you or lead you on.”
“I understand and I feel the same way. Chloe is my first priority in life, and I want to protect her from the type of hurt she’s felt in the past. She likes you—I can see that—and she trusts you. I do think it’s important for her to see that she can have trusting relationships with men. But with that being said, I won’t confuse her by making her think there’s anything other than a completely professional relationship between the two of us.”
“I understand.” I watch as she fidgets with the edge of her sweater. “I know it’s for the best. I don’t want her confused either.” I can’t stop myself from moving closer toward Juliette. My hand reaches up to clutch the door frame above her.
“Yeah, for the best,” she repeats in a hushed tone as she looks up at me.
I’m trying my best, but her sweater falls open, revealing her breasts in a silky white tank top with no bra. The cool air causes her nipples to harden beneath the shirt.
“You’re killing me,” I murmur as I brush the sweater open a little further, my hand coming to her waist. I rub my thumb against the material, her skin burning through it against the pad of my thumb. “You make me want to fall to my knees and beg.” I drag my hand up her body, brushing against her breast as I wrap my fingers around the back of her neck to pull her mouth to mine.
I fully expect her to push me away, but her body melts against mine as I back her against the door, my tongue finding hers. I know I need to stop, but I physically can’t. I press my firm cock against her as my other hand falls to her breast.
“Tell me you’ve thought about it since the last time. Tell me you’ve imagined my cock making you come while you used that toy inside your sweet pussy.”
“Stop,” she murmurs, finally pressing against my chest, “we have to stop. It’s not a good idea.” I finally step back, putting some space between us as we catch our breath.
“Right,” I agree, nodding my head. Her eyelids are heavy, her lips parted and swollen as she stares at me.
“Yes,” she finally says, barely loud enough for me to hear. “I have.”
I smile. “Do me a favor. Since we both agree that nothing can come of this and we aren’t willing to take the risk, every time you have an urge, just use that toy. Can you do that for me?”
I can tell she wants to be defiant. She wants to tell me to go fuck myself and be snarky about it, but to my surprise, she doesn’t. “I can do that.”
“Good girl.”
“Oh, by the way, did you take my panties?” She lowers her voice as if someone might hear us.
I laugh, nodding my head. “I did.”
“Can I have them back?”
“No. Besides, they’re torn, so they’re no good to you.”
She cocks her head to the side. “And what good are they to you?”
“They smell like you,” I say as I reach out and touch her chin softly before turning to walk down the steps of the porch. “Oh, and Juliette?”
“Hmm?” She turns around to look at me after opening the door.
“Make sure you fuck yourself thoroughly, because if it were me in your bed, you’d be completely and utterly wrecked before I was done with you.”
