Twice the Second Chance

Chapter 12 - It's All in a Name

My Goddess she is beautiful. And without even looking, she knew it was me. As I curled around the table to face her, I let my fingers trail across her back. I could hardly wait until I could have her completely.

Humans feel the Mate bond, but it is much less strong for them. Once they have mated, been marked, & have turned, then they feel the full effects of the bond.

I knew she was feeling the bond, though. Her luscious breasts seemed to perk up as her n**ples hardened from my touch. And my minx knew I liked what I saw because she moved her body, making her ample busom more prominent.

The Moon Goddess knew what she was doing when she sent Marni to me. I didn't need a young, inexperienced onjenu. I needed a grown a** woman, & Marni was all woman. I rearranged myself beneath the table as she looked up, catching me staring at her breasts. I refused to be embarrassed by admiring the beauty of my mate.

Without saying it, we took the opportunity to get to know one another. I found out she had a 19-year old son, Trevor, who is out of state after recently leaving for the military. She was both incredibly proud of him & missed him desparately.

She had been married for many years, divorced a year (makes it easier for me, not having to drive him off), & she had reverted to her maiden name, Gold, when they divorced. I didn't necessarily like that the divorce was amicable, but with a child involved, regardless of how old, I understood that this was a good thing.

She is also a corporate accountant who worked in one of my subsidiaries. She had no idea I owned it, & for now I was keeping it that way. I sensed she would have a problem "becoming involved with the boss." The subsidiary was well hidden, so it was unlikely she would discover this fact on her own.

Next, the hard part. My last name. When I said my it was Harwick, I found myself holding my breath, waiting to see how she'd respond. She tilted her head to the side & scrunched up her eye brows in the most charming way.

"Harwick? As in Harwick Industries?" I nodded my head. "But that is a shipping & docking business. You said you owned the bar & the ice cream stand…" she trailed off.

"I do. My primary business is Harwick Industries, but we have a number of other, smaller adventures. It's good to keep a wide portfolio."

"Hmm," she said thoughtfully as she nodded her head. "You're known for treating your employees handsomely. That's rare in your industry." She then looked me straight in the eye. "I like that."

This weekend kept just getting better & better.

(Marni)

I will admit I was a bit taken aback to find out his last name was Harwick. Of Harwick Industries. Only one of the biggest & most lucrative shipping & docking businesses in town. They also had a stellar reputation for treating their employees well. I couldn't help but look Evan straight in the face & tell him I liked that. I should've been embarrassed, but it felt wrong, somehow, too not let him know.

As we talked, we both gradually leanded further in towards one another. Without realizing it, we were sharing my ice cream! At one point, a little bit dribbled on my chin, & he reached out, stopping it with his thumb. He then placed said thumb into my mouth to lick it clean.

I couldn't help but imagine it was his d**k in my mouth, & I shamelessly made sure he knew that. I began to suck his thumb while twirling around it with my tongue. I was staring deep into his eyes as I did this, & I swear his eyes darkened again. I gently grazed my teeth along the thumb as I slowly released it with a pop.

I knew I'd had the affect I'd been hoping for when he tried to subtly rearrange himself. Only he wasn't nearly as subtle as he thought. I tried hiding my pleasure at this, but I'm not so sure how successful I was.

My traitor of a guard dog, who normally takes forever to warm up to men, had weaseled his head onto Evan's lap at some point! I couldn't believe. I guess I know where Huffs stands.

Before too long I began to get chilled & pulled on my zip up & announced it was time for us to leave. "Let me drive you both home," he offered.

"No thanks," I replied. "I need to work off the ice cream." Besides, with the way he affected me, I knew I was not ready for him to know where I lived.

"Can I see you again? Maybe take you to dinner?" he asked.

I didn't want to appear too eager despite feeling excited, so I simply told him to call me. Not yes, not no. Simply call me.
