Chapter 1 Estranged
I️ laid on the bed, entirely naked and vulnerable. My ashy blonde hair was splayed out. My golden toned skin was glistening with sweat and felt hot to the touch. I️ was breathing like I️ had just done a mile sprint.
The most stunning man I’d ever laid eyes on was kneeling over me. He looked at me, his eyes filled with lust and desire. I️ blushed under his fiery gaze and turned my head down.
A wry smile arose on his gloriously attractive face. He let out and amused chuckle and said “Keep looking at me like that and I’ll think you’re ready for round 2.”
Heat pooled in between my legs. I️ felt myself get wet at his taunting words. I️ went to close my legs, embarrassed at how quickly I️ was overcome with lust, at just the sound of his voice. He grabbed my left thigh with his considerably large hand, preventing my legs from shutting.
My pale green eyes widened at him in surprise. His lips curled into a sexy smile as he lowered his head, down to where I️ was pulsing with need.
“Round 2 it is honey” he whispered.
*buzz* *buzz* “ugh” *buzz* *buzz*
I️ turned over and shut my phone off. 6am already? What was that dream? I️ felt the heat still emanating from between my legs. “Wow” I️ said breathlessly. My cheeks flushed. I’ve never had a dream like that!
I turned over and reached for Alex, hoping to satisfy the throbbing desire that had taken over my body but he wasn’t there. “Of course!” I️ sighed and rolled my eyes.
I️ got out of bed and slipped on my green satin robe. I️ walked from our bedroom into Alex’s “office,” more like game room but whatever.
Yep, there he was playing on his computer. He was talking in his headset and didn’t realize I️ had entered. I️ walked up and leaned against the wall beside him. He turned to look at me.
“Hey babe” he said briefly before turning back to the screen.
“Hi!” I said as I kissed his cheek. “Up all night playing again?”
“Is it morning already?”
“Yeah” I️ let out a little laugh.
“Oh” he said before turning his attention back to the game.
“I️ was going to take a shower before work. Any chance you care to join me?” I️ said looking down. I️ was normally not so forward but.. My body was still trembling with desire.
“Uh maybe later. I’m right in the middle of this- Damn it, Jake!” He yelled into his headset.
“Okay! Well, I’ll see you after work.” I️ said as I left the room.
I️ walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on the hottest setting. I️ took off my robe and stepped in. My body surged with arousal under the scolding hot water. “Well, I️ guess I’ll just have to take care of this myself.” I️ thought.
I️ ran my hands over my wet breast, stopping on my hard n****e, dancing it in between my fingers. I️ slid my hand down my stomach, as my middle finger reached my folds, I️ let out a gasp. “Uhhhh”
I️ plunged my finger inside me and then added a second building up the sensation. I️ imagined the man from my dream, as I️ began violently thrusting against my hand. I️ took my other hand and caressed my hot wet breasts.
“Oh my god” I️ let out breathlessly. Still envisioning the man from my dream.
*knock* *knock*
“Are you f*****g kidding me?” I️ said under my breath.
*knock* *knock*
“Yes?” I️ yelled out impatiently
The door opened.
“Hey sis! Sorry to bother you so early but it was an emergency. I was out of coffee!” My sister said as she entered the bathroom.
“Hey Cleo! This isn’t exactly the best time, I’m kind of in the shower if you haven’t noticed.”
“Can I️ borrow your cream skirt tonight?” Cleo said completely ignoring my last remark.
“Umm.. sure but I️ need it back before the weekend because I’m taking it when I️ go visit Scarlett.”
“Oh right! When are you leaving again?” She asked.
“I️ leave tomorrow night, after work.” I️ said.
“Kk! I’ll have it back to you before then. Ugh, it’s so hot in here.” Cleo said exaggerating her words like she was going to pass out.
“Well if it bothers you so much, feel free to leave.” I️ scoffed.
“Geez! Someone’s touchy this morning. Were you up all night gaming as well?” Cleo barked.
“God forbid, I️ want some privacy in my own home, while I️ shower.” I️ snapped.
“Okay okay. Don’t have to tell me twice! Thanks for the coffee sis, love you.” She said before shutting the door.
Welp leave it to a sister to totally ruin the mood.
Cleo and I️ are total opposites. I️ think we have 2 things in common. One is how stubborn we are. If the Price girls hold a position on something, we aren’t backing down. It made for some very dramatic show downs growing up but we’re best friends now.
Oh wow! I’m taking a really long shower, I️ better hurry up before I’m late. I reminded myself of the day I had ahead of me. I️ finished washing myself off, hopped out of the shower, blow dried my hair in my classic blowout style and did my make up.
I️ was waltzed into my walk in closet deciding what to wear. This is my favorite part of the day! I thought to myself. Growing up my family always thought I️ would be a fashion designer. I chuckled while shaking my head, thinking about how determined I was to have a career in fashion as a child.
I️ slipped on my beige high waisted trousers. I️ buttoned up my blue blouse and tucked it into my pants. I put on my white knit sweater, pulled the collar out of the sweater, and tucked my sweater into my trousers as well. I️ scrunched up the sleeves of my knit, about 3/4 of the way up, and folded the blue button up sleeves twice. I️ put on my tan heeled loafers and walked over to my floor length mirror.
Almost, I just need to add some accessories. I put on my gold tear drop earrings and 2 petite gold chain necklaces. I put on my glasses and brown bag to complete the look. Perfect! I thought as I examined the outfit in the mirror.
As I️ was about to leave the closet I️ saw Alex’s section of the closet. I️ remembered how poorly he dressed before we met. Now, he loves dressing nice. It’s amazing how much confidence a nice outfit can give someone.
I️ was finishing making myself a cup of coffee, when Alex came out of the office.
“Sorry I️ didn’t come to bed again, last night babe” he said as he yawned. “Did you make me a cup?” He looked at the other coffee mug in my hand.
“Yeah, here you go.” I️ said as I️ handed him the mug.
“Well, I’m off. I’ll see you tonight.” I️ said as I️ walked towards the door.
“Have a good day at work.” He said as he lifted his coffee cup at me before taking a sip.
Alex and I️ have been together for 3 years and engaged for almost a year now. Wow crazy how time flies, I thought to myself. We were just 23 and 22 when we met. We moved in together after a year of dating. Living with each other was a hard adjustment at first. Alex is an only child and had only ever lived with his parents before we met.
On my drive to work, I️ was thinking about Alex and I️’s relationship. Is it bad that we haven’t started planning the wedding? I thought. I️ mean we haven’t even really discussed it since we first got engaged. That’s pretty normal though, right? You get all excited to plan the wedding after the proposal and then the excitement kind of fizzles out? Yeah, I’m sure that happens to a lot of people.
I️ remember the day I️ first met Alex. I️ noticed him right when I️ walked in the library. He was good looking but was completely oblivious to that. He was helping a girl check out a book, she was hopelessly flirting with him and the poor sweet soul had absolutely no idea. I️ chuckled to myself remembering how clueless he was.
I️ was in the administration and finance section searching for a book. Alex came down the isle, rolling a cart of books to place on the shelves. He was cute, even in fluorescent lighting, a good sign I️ thought to myself. I️ watched him place a book on the bottom shelf and then he managed to hit the cart with his back on the way up, causing a mini avalanche of books. He looked around to see if anyone had seen his fumble and caught me staring at him. When we mad eye contact, we both started laughing. I️ walked over to help him and I introduced myself.
“I’m Blake” I️ said
“Alex and will you do me a favor and pretend you didn’t see that?” He asked shyly.
I️ giggled as the words “You’re really cute.” slipped out of my mouth.
He looked at me utterly surprised, maybe by my forwardness or maybe just because he had never heard a stranger say something like that to him. I was honestly surprised by my forwardness as well. After what seemed way too long, he finally spoke.
“You’re cute too.” He said as he looked at the ground, too shy to make eye contact.
Well I’m going to have to make the first move here, I thought. I bent down and started picking up some of the books on the floor.
“Do you have a girlfriend Alex?” I asked.
He smiled so big, as he picked up a stack of books from the ground. “No” he answered.
“Do you have plans this weekend?” I asked him looking down at the books in my hand. He looked at me bewildered. This boy, I️ thought to myself.
“I️ - I️ - I️ don’t have any plans.” He barely managed to spit out.
“Any chance I️ could convince you to accompany me to dinner?” I️ smiled.
“Ye - Yeah! Yes! Definitely.”
We went to dinner and it was a little awkward but nice. At the end of the date, he was dropping me off at home. While we were sitting in his car, he asked if he could kiss me. I️ told him I️ was not a kiss on the first date type of girl. He responded with 2 thumbs up. Yep, 2 thumbs up! I️ looked at him and said “Did you just thumbs up me?” He looked down, refusing to make eye contact and said “Please don’t ever tell anyone about that!” We both laughed. At that point, I️ just felt so bad, I️ leaned in and kissed his cheek.
Wow so much has changed since then, I️ thought to myself. I️ don’t remember the last time we laughed like that, or even spent time together really. I️ mean at this point, we’re practically glorified roommates. I️ can’t remember the last time we were intimate or kissed on the lips for that matter. Maybe 6 months ago? 8? A year? No, it hasn’t been a year. I’m being dramatic.
