Monday
I am all tangled up in the blanket and my robe. It’s dark out the window. My back is achy, but my nipples hurt more. I can hear something. Then I realize that it’s James. He’s in his studio. Happily making music. Or at least I hope he’s happy. I grab his pillow and drift back to sleep.
His hand pressing between my shoulder blades wakes me. “Morning.”
“How long have you been up?”
“I woke up about 5:15 with a riff going through my head. I had to capture it.” His voice is a happy rumble. He kisses my shoulder, “Thanks to you, I was able to do that.”
“mmm. I’m glad” I murmur.
He pats my ass, “C’mon. Up. Breakfast will be here shortly.”
“Whaaa?” I’m confused.
“I called Carl who told me to call Rudy who put me in touch with someone who knows a guy at the Tavern.” He smirks, “Breakfast will be here shortly.” He flips the blanket off me, “C’mon sleeping beauty. Up.” I grunt. He grabs a nipple.
“I’m moving!” I squeak.
Grinning wickedly, “A little sore, are they?” I just give him a look. “I’ll take that as a yes!” He kisses my forehead.
Searching in my closet, I pull out another Hawaiian print dress and pull it over my head. The soft cotton fabric is tender on my sore nipples. James grabs me from behind, cupping my boobs, “That bad?”
“I’m considering bandaids.”
“Ahh.” He kisses my neck. “Sorry.”
I smirk back at him, “No you’re not.”
He smiles, “You’re right, I’m not” as he not too gently grabs my nipples. My knees threaten to buckle. His arms tighten around me keeping me from hitting the floor as he chuckles.
The doorbell rings. James makes certain that I’m able to stand before going to answer it. I cup my own boobs as I leave the bedroom, “Saved by the bell indeed.”
Carl is rolling a taller cart with several bags from Tavern on the Green on top.
James is grinning like a cheshire cat again helping move the bags to the dining table. “Carl, I can’t thank you enough for helping to put this together for me!”
Carl grins back, “It was all Rudy’s doing, James!”
“Oh sure! You can call him James but can’t call me Kira!” I snark with a grin on my face.
Holding up a finger as he pushes the cart toward the door, “Ahh, James is not an owner in the building!” The front door closes.
I see James stuff something into his pocket. I pat him on the bicep, “He wouldn’t have taken it.”
“What?”
“The tip.” I smile at him, “It can get added to the holiday packet I drop on his stand at Christmas.”
“Ahhh. I wondered if you – ahem – took care of him.”
“And Monty and Sebastian.”
“Whose Sebastian?”
“The maintenance guy.” I look at the table, “James. What did you order?” My eyebrows are in my hairline.
“I finally did what I’ve always wanted to do!” The cheshire cat goes psycho grin. I just raise my eyebrows. “I ordered the whole breakfast menu!”
“What?!?” I start looking into the containers.
“I couldn’t make up my mind!”
I turn to him, “The Tavern doesn’t do breakfast on weekdays!”
He smiles, “Turns out one of the cooks is a fan.”
“Chef.”
“Huh?”
“Not cook at the Tavern. Chef.” James just nods. “Maybe we should send the chef a snap?” as I pull my eyebrows out of my hairline.
We arrange the food so that all the items can be seen. James sits at the table holding up a fork and knife with psycho grin spread across his face. I can barely hold his phone still for the laughter. I send myself a text with the snap and hand James his phone back. He sends it to the chef.
“I give it ten minutes and it will be online” James says.
“Five.”
We both dig in. It was all amazing! “Man! I thought I’d overdone on Thanksgiving!” I lean back patting my belly.
James’ phone buzzes. He checks. And starts laughing. He hands it to me. It’s a screen grab from Facebook of the photo we’d taken from the Tavern’s page. The caption: James Hetfield goes crazy for Tavern on the Green’s breakfast! Laughing, I hand his phone back. I hear my phone buzz. Looking at the clock, “I’m late.”
“For what?”
“Work.” I stand up, “I need to at least put on a bra.”
“Why?”
“Zoom meeting.”
“Ahh.” James stands and starts cleaning up the table.
I grab his hands, “I’ll get this. These meetings are never long.”
He bends over and plants a kiss on me which I gladly return. “Then, I’m going to my studio!” he grins.
I walk with him to the studio door, “I hope it’s a good commute” I grin.
“Ahh man, traffic can suck!” He kisses me again. "Traffic jam" he chuckles. My phone buzzes again. We both laugh. He goes into the studio, I go put on a bra.
Back at my desk, I log into the meeting: “Hi Boss!”
“Morning Kira! Damn that Gala dress, girl!!
“James had it made for me.” I can feel my cheeks flame in blush. “Who’s mad at me.”
“Besides the creepy mail room guy? No one. Now, the good news. Margo is now on maternity leave.”
“She ok?”
“Yes. Just the little dude wanted out early! So, you get the novel.”
“How far along was Margo?”
The rest of the meeting went quickly. After ending the meeting, I pull up the files for the book that Margo was working on. It was almost done. Remembering that I’d told James I would clear up breakfast, I quickly take care of it – nibbling on the bacon while clearing up. I sigh as I get ready to close the fridge. I don’t think it’s ever been this full. Returning to my desk with a can of Severed Lime, I decide to go back to the beginning of the book Margo was working on. Pulling my legs into my desk chair I get started. My background music is provided by James.
I love working with Margo. She’s the one that taught me, so taking over her project is a breeze. I’m almost caught up when I feel James’ hands on my shoulders.
“How’s it going?” His lips press against my neck.
Stretching some, “Well, curve ball. One of the other editors’ is suddenly on maternity leave.”
“She ok?” James asks sincerely.
“Yes, just early delivery. Mom and baby are fine.”
“Good.” James’ fingers gently rub my shoulders. “You hungry?” I just rotate my chair and look at him. “I’ll take that as a no” he grins.
“I should go have something sent to Margo.” I uncurl my legs and stretch again.
James runs his hands down my arms, “What’s your deadline now?”
Closing out the files, “I have two weeks.” I send a text to my boss that I’ll be offline – baby shopping - for the balance of the day. I get a thumbs up response.
“That be enough time?”
Standing up, “Yes. Margo was almost done.”
He cups my head and kisses me, “Good.” He strokes my hair. “I think that you need to go shopping.” He grins.
“Would you like to go with me?” I wrap my arms around his waist.
He smiles gently at me, “Sure.”
“Did you finish your song?” I look up into the glorious blue eyes.
His grin gets bigger, “Yes. I was even able to chat with Lars on it.” He pulls me from my office. “He’s jealous.”
“Jealous?”
“Yeah, that you gave me a room with a view for a studio.” I give him a look. “Jess made him set up his drums in their basement” he laughs.
I smile up at him, “I liked hearing you play while I edited.” I stand on tip toe to kiss him. His hands hold me close.
“I think it’s going to turn out great. Lars is already putting drums to it.” I sink back to my flat feet. “What?”
“That blows my mind!” I smile.
“What? That I can start something here, Lars can add to it from Denmark, Rob will be working on it in SoCal and Kirk will lay his solo from Hawaii?”
“Think about what you just said” I say as I take his hand and led him to the bedroom.
He stops shortly after entering the room, “Damn.”
I just nod at him and chuck a shirt at him.
Twenty minutes later we are exiting the cab in front of Bloomingdale’s. The store is completely done up for Christmas and is amazing. We take our time getting to the infant’s section. Going to the counter, I am given Margo’s registry list. James follows me as I look over items. Since he’s had kids, he is able to give me some feedback on what is on Margo’s wish list. I pick out the stroller that will grow with the kid. James picks out the highchair that can also be adjusted as the kid grows up. He also suggests a toy that all of his kids adored. That will be sent from both of us. The salesperson assures us that if we sign gift cards, they will make sure that those are attached to the wrapped gifts before delivery.
James just smiles and puts a scary guy on his. “You know she’s going to die when she reads the gift cards!” I smile up at James. I thank the salesperson and we leave the infants department.
“Do you want to look around?”
James wraps an arm around me, “What do you want to look at?” I just point at the Christmas area. He hugs me a little tighter smiling, “Ok!”
I have more fun just watching him check out all the decorations. Slowly, I led him to a tree in the corner. “Hey.”
He grins, “Hi.”
“Where do you want to spend Christmas?”
He gives me a look. “Where do you want to spend Christmas?”
I work my hands inside his open coat and rest them on his chest. “Colorado” I say looking at his chest.
He lifts my chin, looks me in the eye, “Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
He wraps one arm around my waist, the other around my shoulders and tenderly pulls me to him and just looks at me. All I can do is smile at his blue eyes. “You are positive, aren’t you?” I just nod. “Ok. Colorado Christmas it will be.” He cups my head and slowly kisses me. I snake my arms tighter around him under his coat and kiss right back.
Someone clears their throat. James looks up, pulling me a little closer. I twist my head and there stands a security guard, whose eyes are now really big. “Can we help you?” James asks with a huge smile.
“Just makin’ sure that things are fine back here.” I can see the guy’s really nervous. “Can’t let the Page 6 girl get into trouble on my watch.”
I blush and shove my face back into James’ coat. I can feel him chuckle, “Yeah. We good.”
“Sorry to interrupt.”
“No worries. Thanks for looking out for the women, buddy.”
“Hey, it’s my job!”
From inside James’ coat I say “Merry Christmas!”
“And Merry Christmas to you ma’am!”
I feel James shake the guards hand “Merry Christmas!” That hand rests on the back of my head. I look up. James is almost giggling at me. “You OK?”
“I’m never gonna live that down!”
He actually laughs, “And I’m not gonna let ya!” He kisses my forehead and walks me out of the corner. “Do you need anything from this store?”
“I can’t think of anything.” I look up at him, “You ready to go home?”
“Home here home, or home Colorado home or home California home?” he asks with a twinkle in his eye.
“Here home!” as I smack his chest softly.
“I can go home here now.” He smirks at me.
“aagghh!”
He pulls me into him, kissing my hair, chuckling.
As we sit in the cab on the ride back the apartment, “When do you want to go home Colorado home?” he asks.
I look at him. He’s smiling like a damned cheshire cat again. I huff out a laugh, “Two weeks. I can get a lot done on Margo’s stuff and most of the top of the pile on mine done.”
“That sounds like a plan. I get two weeks to break in my studio here home – uhm – home here studio – er – studio home here.”
I shut him up by planting a kiss on him.
Sunday – Part 7
Sorry it's late posting. It is Gameday!!
Warnings: Ending NSFW , Shameless Product Placement, Football!
I roll to my back. Everything aches. I groan a little. His hand gently lands on my stomach. “hey beautiful.”
“uunngh”
“Yeah, you overdid.” He rolls to his side, his fingers gently smooth my hair out of my face, cupping the side of my head. He kisses my forehead. Grabbing my left hip he forces me to my stomach. He kneels up over my thighs and basically palms my back with his big hands, his thumbs digging into my lower back. “Damn your tense.
“Ow” whimpers out.
His hands work out the knots in my lower back. Then they work their way up my back. He shifts up my body and ends up sitting on my butt. The pressure of his hands on my upper back and his weight on my butt stretching out my spine feels so good. He pulls his hands down my back.
“Do that again, please” I ask quietly.
His hands flutter over my hips, “Do what?”
“Push on my upper back again.”
“Ahh. Like this?” His hands again push on my shoulders and he pushes down on my hips with his body.
“yeah” I sigh out.
He gently eases up, “Better?”
“yes.”
His hands warm my sides as he leans up me. He plants his left hand up over my shoulder. His right-hand cups over the top of my head, his fingers gently playing with my hair. His lips gently kiss the back of my neck. “Morning.”
A smile lifts the corners of my lips, “Morning.”
“It’s game day!” He lifts his weight off me and stretches out beside me.
“oh yeah!” I breath out. “What time is it?”
“It’s 7am.” He kisses the small of my back, “I need to get the ribs going.”
I reach for his hand, “Can I have the oven for about 20 minutes first?”
“Sure,” he again kisses my lower back, “But you’ll have to get your ass out of bed – like right now.”
I can feel him smile against my back, “Ok.” I swim my way to the edge of the bed. James climbs out and helps me stand. “You good?”
Facing him, I put his hands on my hips, “Hold please.” And I arch back, my head almost touching the bed. My back crackles back into place. His hands slide up my back, slowly pulling me upright. I look into his eyes. “All better!” I grin. James grabs my robe and slides it up my arms. I kiss his chest. “Kitchen is that way,” I point out the door.
“Yes. Yes it is,” he chuckles and gently gives me a push.
Getting into the kitchen, I open the fridge and pull out the two types of rolls – cinnamon and orange. Double checking the temps, I start the oven. Tenderly bending over, I pull out a cookie sheet from below the oven. Popping open both canisters, I take one orange and one cinnamon roll, unwinding each, then lining them up and rewinding the pair together. I do this for all the rolls. Then slide the tray into the oven and set the timer. Taking both of the included little icing cups, I dump them into a bowl and add some cream cheese to it and blend til smooth. Setting that aside, I start making coffee.
James comes up behind me, resting his hands on my waist, “What are you concocting?”
“Yumminess” I lean back into him.
His thumbs dig into my lower back again. My knees almost buckle. His hands grab me. He kisses my hair and pats my ass, “Go sit.” He turns my shoulders and points me toward the sofa. “I got it from here.” There’s only concern in his voice.
I can’t argue with him. My back is trying to tighten up again. I sink into the sofa, grab a blanket and the remote. Turning on the TV, I find the right channel and try to get comfy. I watch him in the kitchen. Eyes glowing, big cheesy grin plastered on his face. The sun shining in the window, I close my eyes.
“Here’s your coffee and two ibuprofen” his voice a gentle rumble. The concern in his eyes pinches my heart.
“Thank you” as I take the pills and a slug of coffee. “It feels good to have that room cleaned out for you.”
His face lights up, “I still can’t believe you did that for me.” Putting his hands on the back of the sofa on either side of me he leans over and kisses my forehead – his lips lingering there. My hand gently strokes his arm, the other holding my coffee mug. The timer dings. I can feel his smile on my forehead. Shifting, he rests his forehead on mine, his blue eyes finding mine. “How do you want your eggs?”
“Scrambled, please.”
He kisses my nose and stands, “Cheesy eggs?”
“mmmm, yes please!”
His fingers gently caress my chin, “Be right back.”
“Mmm k.” Gawd, I really overdid it yesterday. The pre-game chatter on the TV is a distraction.
And so is watching him. He pulls out the rolls and checks the temp on the oven, then in go the ribs. In short order, he’s got our breakfast ready. Bringing over two plates each with a combo roll smothered in frosting and a pile of cheesy scrambled eggs. He sets them on the table and returns to the kitchen. Grabbing his coffee mug - and the pot - along with forks, he returns to the living room. Handing me my plate and a fork, he grabs his. I dig into the eggs. He takes a bite of the combo roll. I watch his eyes widen.
“Dis is rweary gud.”
“Thanks” I look at the huge roll on my plate. “Grandmother showed me.”
He strokes my hair, “I wish I could have met her.”
Looking at him, “I think she would have liked you.” He leans over and kisses my temple.
We finish breakfast and he gathers up the plates and forks. When he comes back from the kitchen, he sits next to me, urging me to lean up against him, making sure that the blanket is tucked in around me. And my game starts. The Seahawks against the Jets. We spend the next three hours cheering the good plays, heckling the refs on the bad calls and smooching during the commercial breaks. Halftime, I make a bathroom run as James checks on the ribs. He is actually humming while cooking. He’s wearing a big cheesy grin as third quarter started. “What?” his eyes sparkling.
“Cheshire cat” I snicker.
“The ribs are going to be really good!” his grin widens as he tucks the blanket back around us.
I sniff loudly, “They smell really good!!!” His arms wrap around me.
The second half of this game is close, but the Hawks pull off the win. I am very happy.
James again checks on the ribs. I stand and stretch. James returns with two cans of Severed Lime and two rolls and two more Ibuprofen for me. I give him a smile, take the pills and give him a kiss as he sits back down, tucking me back up against him again. His game starts. The Raiders vs Steelers. At halftime, the score is tied. Again, he checks the ribs. I make a bathroom trip, and so does he. We both converge back on the sofa just as third quarter starts. It’s a well fought game. It goes into overtime. We’re both sitting on the edge of the sofa. With seconds left on the clock, the Raiders make a hail Mary pass into the end zone for the TD. James literally jumps off the sofa yelling in joy that just makes me laugh. His face is lit up in joy. He spins and plants a toe curling kiss on me.
“Ready for some ribs?!”
“Yes!”
“Where’s the cornbread mix? That won’t take long.”
“I’m feeling better, I can get it.”
Placing his hands on my shoulders, he pushes me flat on the sofa, “Nope. Not gonna risk you” he grins. “I got this.”
I tell him where the mix and the pan are. He almost skips into the kitchen. I watch as he sets about finishing the ribs and the rest of dinner.
“Hey, there are some green beans left from Thursday. We can have those too.”
Nodding, “I suppose an actual vegetable would be a good idea” he smiles at me.
I stand and stretch, my back finally beginning to stop complaining.
“You ok?” he couldn’t hide the concern in his voice.
“mmmhmmm. I didn’t think I did that much yesterday.”
“Let’s see. You pulled out about ten bags of donations. Three of just garbage. You vacuumed out all those drawers. Trevor said that you helped shift about as many boxes as he and Gary did in the other bedroom. Hmmm” he’s smiling dorkily at me, “There’s no reason why your back will be hurting.” He pulls the cornbread out of the oven, “Oh yeah, you did two or three loads of laundry too.”
“Forgot about the laundry” I mumble as I sink back into the sofa.
“uh huh!” He pulls the green beans from the microwave. “Do you want to come make your own plate?”
Standing back up, “Sure. Otherwise I might forget how to walk.”
He pulls me into a kiss as I walk into the kitchen, his fingers gently caressing my cheeks, his blue eyes shining.
“What?” I smile up at him.
“Trevor sent me a text this morning. His sister was super happy with the donations.”
“I’m glad they went to a good place.”
He kisses my hair, “Dinner’s ready” he purrs.
Looking at the spread he’s put together, “This all looks really good!”
He almost slaps a plate into my chest, “Dig in!” as he piles ribs on his plate.
I reach into a drawer and pull out a couple of kitchen towels, slinging one over his shoulder. “Napkins aren’t big enough for ribs.”
Again, he kisses my hair, “No! They aren’t!”
Putting some ribs, green beans, cornbread and BBQ beans on my plate, I head back into the living room. James has already changed the channel for the Sunday night game. Bears vs Colts. At half time we work together to clean up the kitchen. The game is well fought. Da Bears win by two.
“Pie?” James asks me.
“Sure. Although I feel like all I have done today is stuff my face.”
He pats his stomach, “Me too.” Standing, “But I can think of a way to burn those calories!”
Raising my eyebrows, “Just one?”
He grabs the remote and turns off the TV. “Pie later” he sneers at me.
“Ok” as I let him pull me off the sofa.
His fingers gently hold my hands, pulling me toward the bedroom. As I get to the end of the bed, he slowly spins me tenderly and he encourages me to sit on the bed, he kneels over my lap, wrapping his arms around me under my arms, he lifts me into the middle of the bed. “Don’t throw your back out!”
As he lays me down, “I won’t.” His eyes sparkling blue.
Kneeling over me, he slowly unties my robe. I rest my hands on his thighs. I can feel them flex slightly as he shifts his weight. Slowly, almost reverently, he opens my robe exposing my naked body. He hisses in a sharp breath. “I forgot you’ve been starkers all day.” Putting a hand on the bed beside each of my shoulders, he starts kissing me. My face. My neck. My collarbones and shoulders. He sits up tenderly shifting my arms off his legs and places my hands on his shoulders, a wicked glint in his eyes. “Gawd, you are so beautiful” as he gently runs his hands over my breasts, stomach and lower belly. I groan in answer. Again, his lips are on mine. One hand by my head. The other still groping my body. My hands run over his shoulders, my nails dragging gently down his biceps, ghosting fingers down his forearms. He gives me a wicked smile and gently grasps both my wrists. Bringing them together, he easily wraps one of his hands around both of my wrists and slowly pushes them to the bed above my head. His eyes search mine, looking for any discomfort. I can only moan and writhe under him. Grinning, he starts kissing my neck again. Laying his body down on me, his height making it easy for him to keep my arms pinned, his lips work down to my neck to my breasts. His other hand cups, squeezes, palms and teases one nipple while his lips, tongue and mouth work the other. My groans urge him on. Tugging my wrists makes him suck harder. I gasp but keep pulling. My hips try lift up into him. “uh huh” he says around a mouthful of my boob. He pulls off my nipple with a pop, “Not yet!” his eyes smiling as broadly as his lips. Sticking his tongue out, he licks the nipple he’d been working. Keeping my hands pinned, he shifts his head to my other breast. This leaves the one wet. And getting cold. And harder. I squirm more. His suction increases. I gasp loudly. He slowly pulls off my other nipple with a pop. His eyes gleaming, “Shhh” he coos at me. “The more you struggle, the longer I am going to take” he breathes wickedly at me. Keeping my eyes locked to his, he lowers his mouth to my ribs. I can’t help it. I squirm and moan. He just chuckles into my ribs, his mustache tickling some. I snort a giggle and struggle some more. Grinning up at me, “Ok, that doesn’t count.” I buck my hips up into his stomach grinning at him. “That does” he whispers and returns to working my nipples, switching between them. I whimper, still trying to tug my wrists free. The sensations he’s putting through me are mind blowing. They are slow. Deliberate. Exceedingly sensual. I can barely move under his weight pinning my hips to the bed. His arm holding my wrists is just out of the reach of my mouth. His mouth shifts from breast to breast, his eyes gleaming up at me. I whimper at the sight. Leaving my breasts, he rises slightly, “Damn. I can smell you.” I can only nod. “Puddle?”
I laugh gently, “Lake.”
Those damned blue eyes sparkle brighter, “Good.” Those lips reattach to a nipple and I arch up whining. He puts a finger on my lips and literally pops off my nipple again. “Shh.” He looks a the wall. “Neighbors.” I can only giggle until his mouth reattaches to my other nipple making me gasp again. He reaches up with his other hand to caress up my arm. He puts one of my wrists in each of his hands and eases them down to my sides. This action has put most of his weight against my hips and I moan loudly. “You doing good?” I can only nod. “Good” he smiles. He gently pins my arms with his forearms which lets him use both hands on my breasts. He tenderly squeezes, tweaks, palms, kisses, cups and sucks them. I can only groan under his attention. He pinches one nipple and I wince a little. “Getting tender are they?” he grins wickedly. I nod. “Good.” He sucks each one. Hard. I whimper and whine. I manage to get one hand free and pull his head closer to my chest. He gently nibbles but I refuse to let his head go. I pull his head even closer to my body. He forces his head up. “Let me breath woman!” he chuckles. I breathe heavily into a grin. Watching me, he teases both nipples. I writhe under him. He lets go, smiling. Firmly placing his hands on my sides, he lowers his mouth to my ribs, sides, belly. He shifts his body lower on mine. My hips being freed from his weight wiggle in anticipation. His kisses move over my pubic bone. His elbows urge my legs apart. His eyes take in my sopping wet cunt. “Forget lake.” His eyes catch mine. “Ocean!” Placing a hand behind each knee, he pushes my legs farther apart. I pant some. Smiling at me, I watch as he purses his lips and blows on my wetness. I gasp loudly at the sensation, my hips bucking up. He chuckles still keeping our eyes locked on each other. Without warning, he dives into my folds, his arms snake under my thighs, his hands reach up, grab my hips, his tongue laps up what I have already excreted. “Damn you taste good!” He dives right back into me. My fingers curl into his silvered locks. He groans into my pussy. His tongue explores my folds, caresses my clit, dips into my entrance, laps up my wetness. I can only use his silver locks to pull him closer. He grabs both my wrists again pulling them close to my thighs. I start panting. Hard. The knot in my belly is tight. Very tight. “don stawhp … gawds don stawhp … right … there!” He concentrates on that one spot, eagerly lapping me. I start to fall over into my orgasm, I yank one hand free, grab a pillow just in time to cover the scream exiting my mouth. My body bucks, writhes and squirms as he continues working me. I can only scream. He slows down painfully slowly to a stop. He presses a kiss to my over sensitized bud. My body jerks. I hear him chuckle softly. Then his hand is tenderly pulling the pillow from my face. I am still breathing heavily and unable to move. My arms and legs feel like lead. His lips press against mine. I can smell me in his mustache. “you back yet?” he huffs gently at me.
“uhn huh”
“Take your time.” I huff out a soft giggle. His hands caress my hair, my cheeks, my eyebrows – which waggle slowly. My eyes slowly open and I’m looking directly into those gorgeous blue pools. “Hi.”
“Hi” I whisper.
“Weclome back.” He shifts my bangs out of my eyes. I just smile. He kisses me. I try to grab him. “Nope” he takes my hand and kisses it. My eyebrows knit together. “Not tonight.” My eyebrows remain knitted. “You gave me something amazing yesterday.” He gently pats my pubic bone, the very tips of his fingers touching my clit making me draw in a sharp breath. “I wanted to give you something amazing.”
I manage to get my left hand up to caress his head, “Ya did good.”
James kisses me deeply, “So did you.” He takes my left hand and kisses my finger around my ring. I smile at him. My eyelids drift down. His fingers gently urge them to close. “Shhh. Sleep.” I feel him pull the side of the blanket up over me. I roll into him. I feel his hand gently stroking my hair.
I don’t feel myself slip into sleep.
Saturday – Part 6
Warnings: Pancakes, Fluff, shameless product placement
Again, his side of the bed is empty when I wake with music coming from the living room. I wonder what it will take to make one of the other two bedrooms a music room for him. I peek out the drapes. It’s finally stopped snowing. Whatever James is working on is going to be amazing. I can hear him humming as he figures out where the words are going to fill in. Maybe. He did help write two amazing instrumentals. His bandmates do call him the Riff Master. I stretch out in the bed. These sheets really do need to get changed. I climb out of bed and tug the dirties off. It took a moment because I was stumbling over the pile of dirty sheets, but I got the sheets changed. I was piling them up in front of the bathroom when I see James standing there.
“I didn’t interrupt you, did I?” my voice a little high.
“No. No. I hit a wall.” He scrubs his eyes, “That’s when I put it aside. Why didn’t you wait? I would have helped.” Concern spreads across his face.
“You were a little busy and I wasn’t going to potentially ruin a gold record.” I wrap my arms around his waist.
The concern seeps from his face making his eyes brighten, “You really liked it?”
“Yes I did” I squeeze his waist looking up into his face.
He cups my face and kisses me. “Well, I can at least take these to the washer.”
I give his waist another squeeze, “Thank you.” I help him by collecting all the pillowcases and follow him out of the bedroom. I grab the towels from the dryer and take them to the bedroom. I can fold those later. I hear James start the washer.
Returning into the kitchen, “What do you want for breakfast?”
James turns to me, “I kinda wanna go out. Is there a place close by?
“Yeah. It’s a real small place. It’s about a 5 minute walk.” I pull him into me, “They have pancakes….”
Pulling me into a kiss, “Let’s go!” he laughs.
Ten minutes later, we’re dressed. As I head out the door, I grab the hot plate and towels for Fannie and leave it with Carl. I call Fannie to tell her, but I know that Carl will just carry it over to her. Fifteen minutes later we are seated in a booth at the diner, pancakes ordered. James rests his hand over mine, “What’s on your mind.”
“What would you think if I give that second bedroom to make it into a music room for you.” I look him in the face.
His eyes open wide, “You’d do that?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Why not. I don’t use that second bedroom.” I think a moment. “Ever.” I play with his fingers, “What would it take?”
Using his other hand, he rubs at the scruff on his face, “It wouldn’t have be a full blown studio.” He looks at me again, “Seriously. You’d do that for me.”
I smile at him, “Yes, James. I will do that for you.” I sigh deeply, “Besides, it’s time I clear out both those rooms.” I look back at him, “You get to pick the room.”
He pulls me around the bench of our corner booth to his side and plants a deep kiss on me. I wrap my hands around his head. Our waitress clears her throat. Still clinging to the other, we look at her.
“Pancakes go?” she says holding our meal grinning.
James loses it, laughing into my shoulder. I just shake my head, “Thank you.” She sets our plates down as James slowly pulls himself together. “Are you ok?”
“It just caught me off guard. I’m fine!” James laughs.
We tuck into our meals. “That was an excellent idea” I look at James as I push my empty plate away.
Nodding, “Thanks.”
The waitress brings our bill. She’s obviously a fan. I just nod at her. “Can I ask you for your autograph, please?” her voice shaking slightly.
Smiling broadly, James signs the order slip and thanks her for being a fan. I go to the register and pay our bill. I make sure to add a good-sized tip and we walk with arms around each other back to the apartment.
Once inside, James looks at me, I nod, then he goes and looks at the spare bedroom. He opens the room that had been Grandmothers room. He comes back to me, “What’s over these two rooms?”
“There’s a mechanical crawl space between this floor and the one above and below. It’s the side walls that have neighbors.”
He rests his hands on my shoulders, “Is that why you scream into the mattress?” his eyes gleaming.
“uh huh.” I bite my lower lip.
He plants a kiss on me. “You are amazing.” I just smile up at him. He looks into both rooms again. He returns to me. “You’re sure.”
Nodding, “Positive.”
He claps his hands, “Ok.” Pulling me to him, “Do you want to go gear shopping with me?”
“How about you go gear shopping and I clear out the room you want.”
He plants another toe-curling kiss on me, “Ok.” He looks back to both rooms again. “That one.” He points to the spare room. “No neighbors on those walls, right?” I nod. “That one.” He pulls out his phone. “Don’t you even think of moving that bed. I got a guy” he points a finger at me. “Hey Pete! Need a favor.” James wanders into what will become his music room.
I remember that I’d done a floor plan, well, of the whole apartment. I needed one for the kitchen remodel and just kinda did all the rooms. Going into my office, turning on my computer, I pull up the diagram and hit print. Pulling the paper from the printer, I return to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. I can still hear James talking in the other room. His studio, I remind myself. He comes out with the biggest cheesiest grin on his face. “What?”
He wraps me into a hug, “One of our engineers is going to pick me up and take me to the warehouse to get gear.” He looks at me, “What?”
“You look like the kid that was just handed the key to the toy shop.”
Cupping my head, he kisses me deeply, “I was!” He kisses me again. His pocket buzzes right beside my crotch.
“Uuh!” my eyes cross.
“Sorry!”
I kinda grind into him, “Don’t be!” My voice a little higher than normal.
He pulls out his phone, “Yeah.” He eases his hold me, making sure that I’m stable on my feet. Sitting down at the dining table, he starts talking numbers. I’m sure it’s equipment, but I have no clue. Going into Grandmother’s room, I pull up the shades. I start shifting things. Most of what’s in this room is holiday decorations. So, I start shifting all those boxes together by the closet. Against the wall is what I’m looking for. Empty boxes. Grabbing a couple, I take them into James’ room and set them down. Going into the office, I pull out the packing tape. Going back to the room, I put together one box and start plowing through the built in drawers. After realizing that most of what’s in them can donate, I go grab a couple of large trash bags from the kitchen. These I fill with the donations and drop them in the living room. James grabs me after I drop another bag. “Damn you can be fast!”
“I have been accused of being a bit of a pit bull when I get an idea.”
“I can see that” he smiles.
“You are grinning like the Cheshire cat. What’s up?”
“Ahh. Big Mick happens to be in town and he’s gonna come over and look the room over and then we’ll go gear shopping." He kisses me. “Might be able to just pull a bunch of stuff from storage rather than having to buy anything."
"That’s cool!” I lean into him. “Oh!” I pull away, “You might find this helpful.” I give him the room diagram.
He scans it, “Damn!” He looks around and I give him a pencil. He kisses me. He starts noodling on the sheet. His eyes pop up to mine, “I can write this, right?”
I just smile at him, “yes.” I go back into the room to continue cleaning out my shit. Twenty minutes later the doorbell rings. I hear James answer it. I’m elbow deep into a box from the closet, ass to the door, when James walks in and smacks my butt. Hard.
I pop up, “OW!”
“Well, don’t leave him a target.” The man speaking with a heavy English accent is a rock and roll version of Santa. Long white hair and beard with blue eyes as piercing as James’. All his clothes black.
“Kira, this is Mick” James says. He has me tucked into his side, gently rubbing my tender ass.
I shake his hand, “Nice to meet you.”
Mick scans the room. “Not bad for a New York apartment.” He starts looking around for power plugs.
“Oh! Hang on!” James lets go of me and quickly returns with the room diagram.
Mick takes a look at it. “Who did this?”
“I did.”
He’s nodding, “This is very good.” He points to something on the diagram, and finds it in the room, nodding. “Do you have your own circuit box?”
“Yeah, it’s in here.” I led him into the office. Tucked into a small closet is the circuit box.
“This has been upgraded” he says in approval.
“I redid the kitchen a few years ago.”
“Upping the circuit box was a good idea.”
“Thanks.”
Mick takes a snap of the circuit box with its meticulous labeling. Then he and James sit down at the dining table and start going over what is needed and where it should go.
I go back into the room and pull out several more bags of donation stuff. I move a couple boxes into Grandmother’s room. As I come out of that room, James snags me in a hug, “We’re going to the warehouse. Shouldn’t be too long.” He kisses me.
“You might think about putting down a rug in that room” I suggest.
“Excellent idea! I think there are a couple in the warehouse” Mick chimes in.
James runs his hands over my head smoothing my hair, “You going to be ok?”
I look up into those fucking gorgeous eyes, “Yes.”
He leans his forehead against mine, “No bed moving.”
I look at him, “No bed moving.”
“Ok.” He kisses me, “We’ll be back.”
“See you soon!” I kinda follow them to the front hallway. I listen as the front door clicks closed. Knowing that’s secure, I return to the task at hand. Clearing out his music room. Stripping that bed, I forward my bed sheets and start the others. Most of what was in the built-in drawers in that room I decide is donatable. There are a few things that I add to my closet. A few things that I just shudder at and throw out. I check under that bed. A few dust bunnies. I pull out the vacuum and am working on the built in drawers in the closet when I hear, “Honey! I’m Home!” I turn off the vacuum and stretch my back. James comes up behind me wrapping his arms around me, “Damn! You can be tenacious!”
I lean back into him, “mmmhmmm.”
He kisses my neck, “We brought back lunch.”
The smell of burgers wafts in the room at that moment and my stomach rumbles. “It has been a while since breakfast."
"It has!" He takes my hand and pulls me from his music room.
There are about 12 people in my apartment. Most sitting on the floor eating burgers. I give James a look.
“They are going to help shift the furniture.” He whispers into my ear, “They are all our roadies. I trust them.”
I nod ok. James parks me at the table and hands me a burger. There is a communal pile of fries in the middle. James hands me a Severed Lime, puts his on the table and sits next to me. Mick is on the other side of the table. Someone asks where the trash is and James directs him to the can under the kitchen sink. About twenty minutes later, the bed is shifted into Grandmother’s room, as are the nightstands. A couple of the guys help me re-org that room so that I could get into the holiday boxes easily and they are neatly stacked by holiday.
I go to take a look in James’ music room. There’s a huge paisley carpet on the floor. A desk has been setup so that it looks out that window – tho it doesn’t really have a view. A big tempered glass mat covers the carpet and a rolly desk chair sits on that mat. There are a couple of guys behind the desk, at least one under it with both Mick and James sitting on the front side of the desk working on a piece of gear and cables are sliding all over the place. There’s a standing mic stand. There’s one clamped to the desk. There’s all kinds of music boards sitting on the top of the desk that cables are being plugged in to. A rolling road case filled with guitars now sits in the closet. But it’s at a wonky angle because of the doors.
“James?”
“Yeah?” he turns, his eyes bright.
“Just have them take the closet doors off. They can store them in Grandmother’s room against the wall.”
“What about the building super?” one guy asks.
“I’m the super. I own this apartment.”
Nodding approval, “Page six and an apartment owner. James, you dog!” Mick grins.
I just blush, spin and leave the room laughing softly. Checking on the laundry, I fold the one set of sheets and forward the other. Taking the clean sheets to my closet, I put them away. Then fold and put away the towels I’d dumped on my bed earlier. Crossing back into the living room, I realize that all the trash from lunch has been neatly put into a garbage bag left by the end of the kitchen counter. There’s nothing left on the floor in my living room except the donation bags. I sit on the sofa, a little bit in shock. A couple of guys come in the front door carrying foam that they have obviously custom cut. I follow them. They neatly tuck the foam into one of the built in drawers and close it. They measure the next one down and leave. The first drawer is reopened, and another guy starts setting microphones into the foam. James sees me watching and he pulls me onto his thigh.
“You look a little shell shocked” his lips right by my ear.
“They are so neat and tidy!”
“They better be for what they get paid” Mick says. “I don’t pay them to be slobs.”
“I’m impressed.” I see a couple of them smile.
“We’re almost done” James leans into my ear kissing it.
“James, unless you can play with Kira on your knees, I’m sorry love, but you’ll need to move so I can test the setup.”
“Of course” I stand and move back. One of the guys taps my shoulder. He indicates a shorter road case. I raise my eyebrows and he just nods. I perch on the case. James puts on a set of headphones and starts playing. I can only hear the strings twanging. The same guy plugs in another set of headsets and hands them to me. I put them on. I smile. That screaming guitar riff that James plays so well sounds in my ears.
James turns to me. “What should I play?” My eyes fly open wide. I can hear him. “Mics in the headsets” he smiles and points at the headsets covering his ears.
“Roam” I ask.
He smiles and he starts the song. I can hear the tweakings that Mick is making on the sound board. James is getting into the rhythm. I can tell that he wants to sing but is holding back.
“James, run the bridge again” Mick asks.
Effortlessly, James replays the bridge.
Four of the roadies come in the room. They are carrying some kind of drapery concoction. They hang a 1x2 along the top of the walls and make a large x on the ceiling. They staple gun the top of the fabric to the 1x2. As it unfolds, it’s been covered in the foam waffle sound proofing squares. They repeat this for all four walls and the ceiling. The one over the closet space has plastic tubing in the fabric to make an opening to get into the closet. They’ve done the same idea with the window. Once those are hung, James lets go with the vocals. I just smile.
“That’s got it James. You’re good.” Mick stands and stretches his back.
I take the headsets off and set them on the road case. Another one of the guys taps my shoulder. “Yes?”
“I probably should have asked, but I tapped into the light switch line. That way James doesn’t have to turn each piece on or off individually. It’s kinda like a master switch now.”
“That’s fine.” I smile at James. “And actually a really great idea.”
“You think so?” my downpicking barbarian god grins.
“Yes, that way when we go back to Colorado, we know that this room is powered down.”
“Excellent job Trevor” James says.
Trevor’s shoulders square up a touch, “Thanks!”
“You guys get everything done?” Mick asks the room.
They all answer in the affirmative.
I quickly leave and move into the living room. Trevor approaches me, “Are these trash?” as he points at the donations bags.
“No. Those are to donate.”
“Ah.”
“Do you know someone that could use some women’s clothing?”
“My sister works with a shelter…”
“Take them” I cut Trevor off. “Please.”
“Thank you.” Trevor and a couple of others remove all the donations bags. Sinking into the sofa, I hear them chatting as they leave the apartment, “Damn! James scored a winner this time!”
I smile like a Cheshire cat.
Mick and James come out of the studio. James makes a point to stop and flick the switch off grinning. “Mick, thanks for giving up your Saturday.”
“Just remember this at the next acceptance speech!” Mick squeezes James’ shoulder. The Brit looks to me, “Nice to meet you Kira.”
“Nice to meet you too!”
James walks him to the front door. It clicks closed. I suddenly realize that it’s quiet in my apartment. James comes to me, leans on the back of the sofa over me and kisses me. “Thank you.”
I cup his face, “You’re welcome.”
His eyes pop open, “Ribs.” He stands and quickly goes into the kitchen. “Need to get these babies marinating!”
“Anything I can do to help?” I ask from the sofa.
“Nope.” He’s pulling spices from the drawer. “Maybe order a pizza?”
“That I can do.” I retrieve my phone from its charging stand in the office. Calling my favorite pizza place, I order two for delivery. With a salad. Then I let Monty know.
“It is nice having a doorman” James smiles at me.
“Yeah it is.”
Twenty minutes later the door bell rings. I go collect the pizzas and James tucks the ribs back into the fridge. He grabs a couple of plates and forks. “What do you want to drink?” as he pulls open the fridge.
“Grave Fruit please.” I sort the pies and pull out the salad, giving that container a good shake.
He grabs a Severed Lime for himself and brings my tallboy along with the plates and forks. We plate up and go sink into the sofa. I turn on the TV just as the National News ends. We watch the local news until the weather. Skies are supposed to clear overnight, which will drop temperatures as the clouds move north. Again, we watch Jeopardy. James collects another slice of his meaty pizza. I set my plate down, leaning back into the sofa, patting a full tummy. “Gawd, you and Kirk with pineapple on the pizza” he laughs. I just look up at him. “What?”
“I love to see you happy.”
He swallows his bite, “You make me happy.” He kisses me, “Today makes me very happy.”
“That makes me happy.” Holding up a finger, “Although, I would keep the singing to between 8 and 5. Don’t want Mrs. Friedman and Floofy making a house call.”
James snorts in laughter. “No! We don’t want that!” I kickstart my eyelids. He gently pulls me down to lie on the sofa, my head in his lap. I wrap an arm over his knees stretching my legs out on the sofa. He starts to gently play with my hair with his right hand, his left gently rubbing my back. My eyes start to close. I squirm a little to get comfy. “Shhh. You’ve done a lot today.” Both his hands work my shoulders. I groan lightly. “That’s my girl. Shhh.” Both his hands run down my back to my hips. He works his thumbs into my lower back gently. I sigh as his hands work my back softly. I feel his lips kiss between my shoulder blades. The next thing I know he’s tucking my naked body into bed, pulling my back into his chest, wrapping his arm around my ribs. His other arm is my pillow and I curl up around it. His nose buries into my hair and the back of my neck, “Sleep. Shh” he coos at me.
And I’m out.
Warnings: Part NSFW, Smut, Mostly Fluff
Rolling over, I pat his side of the bed. It’s empty. I sit up. It’s still dark out. There’s music coming from the living room. Smiling, I lay back down. Grabbing his pillow, I curl up around it. Listening to him creating. In my living room. My eyes close.
His arms wrapping around wake me. “Pillow hog!” he whispers into my ear as he tugs the pillow from my arms.
“It smells like you” I whimper happily.
He gently rolls me over and buries my nose in his pit, “I’m right here” he grins.
I inhale deeply, “Actually, not bad this morning.” He chuckles and pulls me to his chest. I bury my nose into his chest hairs, “This does smell better” I say with a laugh.
Rolling me to one side quickly he smacks my ass softly, then kisses me “So. What do you do the Friday after the parade.”
Pushing myself up some, I look out the window. It’s still snowing, but the flakes are bigger. “Usually go see the windows on 5th Ave.” I curl back into his chest. “Although, with the snow it’ll be cold. But fewer people.” I look up into his blue eyes. “Thoughts?”
He gently plays with my hair. I can see he’s considering. His stomach rumbles. We both snicker. “I think better on a full tum” he chuckles.
We detangle ourselves from the sheets and each other. I grab a dress with a Hawaiian print on it and slip into it. He pulls on a pair of shorts and a tank top. As we head into the kitchen he grabs the fabric of my dress. “Have you been to the Islands?”
“Once.” I start making the coffee, “I treated myself when I graduated college.”
James pulls out the eggs, bread, cheese and avocados, “Which Island?”
“Maui. I stayed in Lahaina.” I turn to him, “It’s sad that it’s gone now.”
Gently resting a hand on my waist, “It is. I’m hoping that they get the rebuild right. It was a cool town.”
“You’ve been there?”
Nodding, “I still have property there. North Shore side.”
“Really?”
“It’s a nice way to warm up in January” he grins as he kisses me.
“I bet!”
We pull together a simple breakfast of avocado toast – I added tomato to mine – with coffee. Sitting in the living room, we catch up on the local news. Again, the parade is the lead story, but the snow is the follow up. Breakfast clean up is quickly done.
He wraps his hands around my waist pulling me into his body. “So, are these windows really worth getting cold feet over?”
I gently rub my hands over his chest, “Yes.”
His hands reach down to my ass patting it, “Well, I’d like a shower first.”
“ok” I reach up and kiss his chin. “And a shave please?”
He rubs his fingers over his chin, “I was thinking of letting the beard fill in” as his eyes twinkle. “You don’t like that idea.”
“I don’t mind, but …. Uhm …” I grind my hips against his thigh “it can be uncomfortable” I grin up at him.
“Not liking rug burn” his hands grip me tighter to him.
“Not really” I look up at him with sultry eyes.
He kisses me, “Then a shower and a shave it will be!” He pulls me toward the bathroom.
With no timetable today, we take our time. Our hands gently caressing each other. Fingers washing hair. Mouths gently kissing lips, arms, necks, backs. Bodies writhing together in the warm water. Moans gently fill the air in the bathroom.
James wraps a towel around his waist, then one around me. “You ok?” he gently huffs a laugh.
Leaning into his arm, “Little wibbly” I grin up at him. We kiss deeply.
“I never get tired of watching you climax” his eyes a glorious blue as a smile softens his lips. I blush slightly. He kisses me again. “If we’re going out, we need to get dressed” he purrs into my ear.
Straightening up out of his arms gently, “Clothes.” Pointing to the bedroom, “That way.” He smacks my towel covered butt as I leave the bathroom. I just giggle.
I find a pair of black heavy jeans, a tank top, a t-shirt and a sweater. I’m in the process of layering when James comes in.
He rubs his freshly shaven cheek against my still bare shoulders, “Better?”
“mmmhmmm” I purr looking over my shoulder at him guiding his hand between my legs.
An hour – and a very rumpled bed later – I am getting dressed. Again. James is pulling on a sweater. As he passes me, I smack his ass.
“Hey hey!”
I just grin at him.
He’s looking all over the floor.
“What are you missing?”
“Boots.”
“Entryway closet.” He looks at me. “By the front door.”
“ah”
Taking his hand and tugging down my sweater, I lead him to the closet in question. Tucked inside are our boots and big jackets from the day before. He pulls his boots out. “They’re warm” his eyes in bright surprise.
“mmhmm” I point to the vent in the back of the closet and pull on mine.
“That’s clever” James inspects it.
“Grandmother’s idea. She hated having wet boots.”
Kissing my forehead, “I do too.”
“Give me your phone, please” I ask.
“Why?”
“I need to put a Metro Pass on it.”
“oh. Ok.” He unlocks it and hands it over.
I download the app and tie it to my account, authorizing it when my phone pings. Handing it back, “There ya go.”
Collecting our wallets – he hands over my driver’s license - and the front door key, we head out into the snow. I pull him around the corner to the subway station. I show him how to use the app on his phone to pay the fare. I lead him to the correct platform.
“How do you navigate this?” his eyes slightly bewildered.
“Experience.” I pull him closer to me. “This is how I got to school, work, sometimes shopping.” I lean into his chest, “The parade.” He just hugs me. A train arrives. “This is us” I pull him in the car. He backs me into his chest, tucking his hands into my coat pockets. The ride isn’t that long. I pull him off the train and we exit up into the street.
With the snow falling it is actually a pretty walk up 5th Ave. And not that many people around. Bergdorf’s windows are a fantasy land. His face lights up when we get to the angels in front of Saks. I completely enjoy watching his eyes.
He turns to me, “Isn’t there a skating rink around here?”
Taking his hand, “This way.”
The look on his face when the Tree comes into view… Even without the lights on, it’s an impressive sight.
We take a spin on the ice. Actually, he takes the spins. I take a couple of good spills while he laughs. He picks me up after the last tumble, “I think we’re done here!” he laughs.
Rubbing my ass, “Yes, please!” We turn in our skates. “Anything else you want to see while we’re here?” I look up into his face, his cheeks bright red from the cold.
Shaking his head, “I don’t think so.”
“Then let’s head back. There’s another tradition I want to share with you.”
“This doesn’t involve another Big Guy, does it?” he laughs.
“No!” I answer cheekily.
Taking the subway back home, I pull us off a stop early. A couple of blocks over, I pull him into a Chinese restaurant. The little bell over the door jingles merrily. I reach up and violently shake the bell. There is only one other customer in the place.
“It can’t be! Is that Kira!” comes a voice from down by the kitchen. A tall skinny woman with very long black hair – pulled back in a ponytail – comes almost running up to me, “Nǎinai said that was you on Page 6!!” as she bear hugs me.
“uhf!” I hug back. Extracting myself from the hug, “Dang girl! You’ve gotten stronger!!”
“Someone has to heft the rice bags!” she laughs. “And whom have you drug in here, huh?” she gives me a look.
“Fannie, this is James. James, this is Fannie. We went to college together.”
James pulls off his glove and holds out his hand, “Nice to meet you, Fannie.”
Fannie shakes his hand, “Nǎinai is not going to believe me! Can I please?” she whips out her phone.
James huffs out a laugh, pulls me closer and says “Sure!”
Fannie grabs my other shoulder and she snaps a selfie. I watch as she sends it to Nǎinai. “Now, the usual?” she rubs her hands together.
I hand James a menu “I know I want the Moo Shu. James, do you need a minute?”
“hmmm, Can I please get the Sizzling Beef?”
“Sure.” Fannie starts inputting our order into their system. “Rangoons?”
“Duh.”
“1?”
“3.”
“Rice?”
“Yes please.”
“Ma Lai Gao?”
“Yes please!”
“2?”
“4.”
Fannie gives me a look.
“I’m hungry.”
She laughs at me, “Windows?”
“And skating” I grin.
“You?” Fannie gives me a look.
“She actually spent more time sitting on the ice than standing” James wraps his arms around me chuckling.
Fannie laughs even harder. “I’ll go help Jie get this put together.” She points to a table behind the counter, “Have a seat.”
James and I pull out chairs at the offered table. He holds out his ungloved hand. I pull my left glove off and take his hand. He fiddles with my ring and smiles. “Ya did good today” I assure him. He scrunches up his nose and eyes, smiling.
“Hey Kira! Nǎinai wants to say hi!” Fannie yells holding her phone out the pass-through window.
“Her Grandmother” I smile at James and go collect the phone. “Hi Nǎinai!” I walk back to the table and sit with James. “Yes, it was really beautiful! … We did. No, it’s James’ first time seeing it live. Of course!” James takes my gloved hand in his. “The windows are a fantasy this year. They were really weird that year.” I smile at James. He smiles back. “Yes Nǎinai, I was in Colorado. That’s where James lives. Yes, it snows in Colorado too.” We both squeeze hands. “Thank you Nǎinai! And Shèngdàn kuàilè to you too!” I end the call.
“I didn’t know you speak Chinese.” James cocks his head at me.
Scrunching up my nose, “That’s all I know.”
“And she still mispronounces it” Fannie laughing arrives with a box in her hands. “Dinner’s ready!” she grins.
“Woah” James says as he pulls his glove back on.
“Watch the bottom of the box. Oh, and I need that plate back” Fannie passes the box to James. He gives me a look at the weight.
I hand Fannie her phone back, “Total?”
She grabs me in a hug, “Paid.”
“Thanks Fannie!” I go to open the door for James. “Merry Christmas!”
Fannie waves as she heads back to the kitchen. I quickly pull out a large bill and drop it by the register and follow James out the door. We get just around the corner, “Thanks Kira!” Fannie yells. It echoes around the block.
It’s a quick walk back to my building. Carl opens the lobby door and quickly hits the elevator call button, “Have a good time?”
“Yes, thanks Carl.”
“Do I smell Moo Shu?” he grins. I nod as the elevator door opens. “I’ll have to stop by on the way home!”
I take the box from James as he digs out the key and pushes the door open. I quickly enter and set the box on the dining room table. We shrug off our coats and dive into the box with our dinner in it. In the very bottom of the box wrapped up in a couple of towels is a cast iron plate. It’s hot. “That’s why it was heavy.” James quips.
I grab some mitts, “Let me reheat that.”
James watches me start the gas stove and set the plate directly on the burner, “Why?”
“Can’t have sizzling unless the plate is hot.” I turn off the burner and put the plate on top of a mitt on the butcher block. I collect the container marked SB. I open it and upend its contents on the cast iron plate. It begins sizzling delightfully. “See?” Using chopsticks I make sure that everything is sizzling hot.
James comes over and kisses my neck. “That smells really great!”
I pull out a couple of plates and we fill them. I carry my plate to the living room and turn on the TV. The weather again forecasts snow. James joins me. I let the news finish and Jeopardy starts. We both try to get the answers right between bites. When done, I collect the plates and take them to the kitchen.
“You ready for Ma Lai Gao?” I ask James.
“What is that?”
“Yum is what it is!” I say carrying the container to the living room.
James takes a slice. I watch his eyes widen as he takes the first bite. “Dats werawy gowod!”
I pull out a slice for me. “Fannie doesn’t offer it to just everyone.” I smile around my first bite.
“What’s that smile for?” James licks his lips pulling out another slice.
“It can be the holidays now” my voice a little wistful as I pick at the cake slice in my hand. James wraps an arm around my neck and kisses my temple. I lean my head on his bicep as he finishes the last slice.
“I like that it’s not super sweet” he says standing up, collecting the carry out container.
“It is satisfying” I agree. A shiver runs up me.
Jame sees it, “You cold?”
“A bit chilly. Dinner helped.”
“naw” he comes up to me, “let’s warm up.” He stops a moment looking around. “Uhm…”
“Office bath” I grin up at him. “But we need the towels from the big bathroom.”
“You go start the water, I’ll grab the towels.” I watch as he pulls off his sweater walking towards the bedroom.
I move towards my office shedding my clothes in front of the washer closet on the way. I’m standing naked beside the tub checking the temp when James comes up behind me. I can feel that he’s naked too. I step into the tub holding a hand towel. The warm water actually stings my toes a little. I sit and slide forward as James slips in behind me, pulling me back into his body. Completely soaking the hand towel in the water, I drape it over my chest. I turn my face towards James’ neck and heave a sigh.
“You good?” his voice rumbles gently.
My left hand gently caresses his cheek, “Very good.”
His left-hand cups mine holding it close to his face. His lips kiss my fingertips. His right-hand curls softly around my neck. I can feel his erection rising into the small of my back. I wiggle my hips. He sucks the tip of my left pointer finger. His right hand slowly, gently, drifts down between my legs. I move my left leg up over his granting him full access to my pussy. He starts with gentle caresses to my whole crotch. His large hand cupping me, holding me firmly. Gently, his large fingers start exploring my folds. Pulling my lower lips apart tenderly. His fingers start running circles around my bud. I suck in a sharp breath. His lips warm my temple and work down to my ear. His left hand moves to my breasts, playing with them. The circles on my clit become slow strokes reaching down to my opening. I can only relax into his body as his arms keep me from reaching back to grab his stiffening cock. “uh huh” his lips right by my ear. “I want to watch you” a kiss to my ear, “feel you,” a kiss to my neck, “convulse in climax.” His lips find the magic spot between my neck and shoulder. I shudder and moan. His left hand gently holds a nipple, his right-hand slides two digits into my tight hole. I groan, my body both arching and tightening. "Fuk, you have a tight pussy” his voice rumbles happily in my ear. My head rocks back on his shoulder as I start panting softly. His left knee holds and lifts me as his right hand pushes another digit into me. I groan and whimper at the same time. His right thumb finds my clit. My hips buck up. His left arm holds me securely. “don stawhp … don stawhp” escapes my lips, my head rocking back and forth on his shoulder. “I have no intentions of stopping” more kisses to my neck “until you cum for me.” I groan louder, my hips buck up again. His left hand reaches up and cups my chin – a couple fingers wrapping around my throat. His right fingers curl and uncurl inside me while that thumb speeds up on my clit. I crash over into orgasm, my hips thrusting completely out of the water, sloshing some out, his left hand turns my chin and his mouth covers mine as I cry out in pure pleasure. “There’s my good girl” he purrs into my ear as my hips slowly sink back into the water, his fingers gently slid out of me then again cup the juncture between my legs gently yet firmly. He holds me, his fingers gently making lazy patterns on my body, as I recover laying on his body, his lips randomly kissing my face, ear, neck, hair. My breathing evens out.
I rotate over so that I am now floating face to face with him. I pull my knees up the outside of his legs, my hands on his shoulders. His blue eyes pierce into mine. I kiss him deeply. Then sitting as best I can over his knees - making sure to not hyperextend them – I move his arms to rest on the edge of the tub. I let my hands drift over his chest, one fingernail gently tracing his tattoos. He closes his eyes, shifting in the tub some to rock his hips up. My right hand slowly runs teasing circles down his chest, sides, belly, finding his happy trail. His eyes slit open. “I like watching you too” as I chew on my lower lip. He rumbles at me and closes his eyes again. My right fingers tenderly wrap around his hard on. He groans and his cock thickens. “mmmmm” I purr and land a kiss on his Adams’ apple. He sucks in a sharp breath. I tighten my grip on him as he moans again. I release my grip – his eyes open - and reaching between my own legs gather the slick he’d done to me and quickly wrap that hand back around his cock. “That’s wicked” he mumbles. I raise my eyebrows at him, “That’s payback” slowly beginning to pump him. He actually growls at me. My actions on him cause the surface of the water to slosh some. His head rocks back and rests on the edge of the tub, his breathing quickening. I plant my left hand over his clavicle divit. His eyes fly open. I speed up my right hand, “That’s my good boy.” He groans and his shaft gets even thicker. He's trying to keep his hips from bucking up. I suck my lower lip, “Such a good boy.” My left fingers grab a little tighter, my right hand moves faster, his eyes close and his groans fill the bathroom. “close …. so damned …. Close .. close” My left fingers slid up his throat gently. I can feel him ready to explode in my right hand. I lean into his neck, “Now.” I cover his mouth as his release slams into him. His arms strain as his hands grab the edge of the tub. I’m sure his toes curl but I can’t see them. I slow the motion on his cock but keep a tight grip. His left hand joins my right around his shaft pulling it slowly up milking the last out of him. His right arm flops around my shoulders and gently tugs me to him. His lips still locked with mine. His left hand pulls my right hand slowly from his deflating cock and puts it on his chest. He presses his lips to my forehead, “I needed that” he mumbles. I put both my hands on the tub on either side of his neck, rising and kissing his face. His eyes drift open. “hi” I sing softly. A smile spreads from his lips to his eyes “hi” he sighs. I lay several quick kisses to his cheeks, nose and lips. I let my hands drift across his shoulders and down his chest. “Your knees can’t be comfy” he mumbles shifting me to my left, urging my legs to straighten. A thread of his cum floats across his tummy. “uhm, we may need to rinse off in the shower” I grin.
“Ya think” he sighs out.
I push myself up to my feet. I look to floor, “And some more towels.”
“Puddle?”
“Lake.”
“Yikes.”
I step out and pull a towel from the counter. I shrug my shoulders and drop my bathsheet into the water on the floor. James stands up and pulls the plug in the tub. I hand him his towel, “I’ll be right back.” I quickly streak across my apartment and grab some more towels, one for me, the rest for the floor. Returning to the bathroom, I find James on his hands and knees reaching under the tub with his towel. “That’s not exactly what I was expecting to see.”
He wiggles his hips, “Good view?” he chuckles.
“Very” as my voice cracks.
James laughs as he stands and starts collecting the wet towels, “Washer?” I show him that just outside the office door is the laundry closet. My clothes from the day are dumped in front of it. I open the washer door and he shoves the wet towels in. I hand him a dry one. He wraps an arm around me, kissing me. “I’m hungry again” he says as I start the washer.
“There’s turkey leftovers.”
He pats my ass, “Let’s rinse off first” wrapping an arm around me and pulls me toward my bathroom.
A quick rinse off and some clean jams, we converge on the fridge. I make myself a turkey sandwich with some warmed sweet potatoes on the side. James makes a pile of the turkey and finishes off the stuffing. “Do you mind?” he asks pointing to the stuffing pile on his plate. I shake my head smiling at him. He puts his plate into the microwave.
I take another scoop of the sweet potatoes and head to the living room. The snow is still falling, pretty heavily. The path lights in the park are just pools of lighter snow in the dark.
“Wow. It’s really coming down.” James is standing behind me holding his plate.
“Yeah it is.” I take a seat on the sofa.
James rounds the table and sits next to me. He lifts my left hand, kissing my ring “Reminds me of another night.”
I look him in the eye, “Me too.” I flip our hands over and kiss his palm. We smile at each other warmly. He squeezes my hand, gently letting it go and we dig into our plates. Afterward, we jointly empty the dishwasher and reload it with the dirties. I move the potatoes into a smaller container and restore them to the fridge with the last of the turkey.
We return to the living room and sink into the sofa. James pulls me into his body. “Hey.” He gently rubs my shoulder, "You're a million miles away.”
Sighing, “I have to come clean on something.”
“You’re pregnant.” He totally deadpans that answer.
I smile, “You know I can’t get preggers!”
“Please tell me.” Both his eyes and voice smiling kindly.
“I told you that my parents died when I was three.” He nods. “They were in a plane crash that killed everyone onboard."
"Holy shit.” His hand squeezes my shoulder.
I grimace a smile. “I guess Grandmother sued the airline. They settled out of court.” I look up into his eyes, “I have a trust fund.” He just looks at me. “I don’t use it often.”
“That’s up to you.” Just a statement from him.
I smile softly. “That how I bought the Shelby.” Again, he just nods. “I used it to pay for my education. And the remodel. The trip to Hawaii.”
“That’s it?” his face a little shocked.
I think, “Oh! I spent last summer in Seattle.” I look into his eyes, “New York summers suck.”
He smiles and pulls me to him, kissing me. “Your Grandmother would be proud of you.” He again rubs my shoulder, “Feel better?” I nod. “Any more secrets?”
“At the moment no.” I look sideways at him as he gives me a look. “I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet.”
“Fair enough!” he laughs and kisses me again.
The washer beeps. I go forward the load into the dryer. James meets me by the kitchen. “C’mon. You can barely keep your eyes open.”
I let him guide me to bed. I drop my robe and slip under the covers that James holds up and curl up next to him. His left hand gently stroking my hair. I don’t remember the sandman taking me away.

Thursday
Reaching to his side of the bed, it’s empty. I blink awake. It’s barely sunrise. I can smell onions cooking. Kicking my way out of the covers, I pull on my robe. Our clothes from the Gala are draped over the chair in my room. Padding out to the kitchen, there stands James. He’s engrossed watching the onions brown in the pan. I lean on the counter and watch him. Those tattoo laced hands that had me screaming in pleasure last night, that make amazing music, are now expertly chopping up celery. He scoops the celery into the pan. “I didn’t wake you, did I?”
“The smell woke me.”
“Sorry.”
“I love the smell of onions being browned. That’s a comfort smell for me.”
Stirring the pan, “Me too” he grins. He moves the pan off the heat, “Do you have spices?” Pointing to a drawer, “Ah.” His eyes light up. Kid in the candy store. “I figured that I could get the bird in the oven before we leave on a slightly lower temp and it should be ok until we get back.”
“Anything I can do to help?”
He smiles at me, “Coffee?”
Moving into the kitchen, I set about making a pot. I end up shoving the stuffing into the bird since I have the smaller hands. Being small does pay off every now and again. Putting the bird into the oven, we clean up the kitchen. Fixing our coffee mugs we move to the sofa. I power up the TV. All the local channels are showing the parade prep. The weather forecast is snow flurries and light winds. I curl up into his side. James wraps an arm around my shoulders and gently strokes my hair. When the news cycle repeats, I turn off the TV. Stretching some, “We should get ready.”
Standing up, he pulls me to my feet, “I want to check on dinner.” He takes our coffee cups to the sink. I go to the front door. There’s a stack of papers there. I pick them up and close the door.
Dropping the stack on the dining table, I open the top one to page six. There in glorious color photos is a full spread of the Gala last night. Of us. James wraps his arms around me from behind. He points to one of the photos of me, “Nice ass.”
I laugh and spin in his arms grabbing his ass, “Yours is pretty good too!” He snorts a laugh.
“We need to get ready” he says holding me tight. I hug him back. He walks me backward into the bedroom as I giggle in his arms. When we get to the bed, we tumble into it as his misguessed the distance. We both laugh loudly.
Sitting up, I look at his reclining form. “What?”
“You amaze me” I almost whisper.
Rising up on his elbows, “How.”
“Watching you this morning. Your hands. The tattoos. Your music. Cooking.” I bit my lower lip, “What they do to me.”
He smiled at me. “I love watching you. I love watching you while I make love to you.” He pulled me closer. “I am so glad that we are sharing this weekend.” He kisses me deeply. “Together.” His blue eyes filled with compassion. And something more. I wasn’t sure what I saw there. He pats my hip, “We need to get dressed.” He gets up off the bed and pulls me with him.
I pull out a pair of wool pants, a tank top, a silk liner shirt, a sweater, scarf, gloves and a hat. Finding a thong, I start getting dressed. James pulls on a pair of heavy jeans, a tank top, a thin hunting shirt liner, a sweater, scarf, gloves and hat. We both pull on our fur lined boots. Grabbing the extra warm things, we make our way to the dining room table. “Oh wait!” James says. He goes back into the bedroom and quickly returns, “Here.” He hands me a couple of hand warmers. “Hope they are still good. They were buried in the bottom of the hunting backpack.”
Smiling, I tuck mine into my pocket. “Thank you.”
James texts Rudy, and then checks on the turkey in the oven again. “You sure you’re comfortable leaving your oven – your gas oven - on while we’re gone?”
“Very.” Taking the newspaper stack to my office, I collect my phone and tuck it into my coat pocket. “I did it last year. And the year before that, and the year before that.” Collecting my scarf, “Besides, too late now.”
“ok.” He smiles at me. His phone buzzes. “That’s us.” He pats his pockets. “Let’s go!” He holds out his hand to me and we walk out into the hallway. James locks the front door. A quick elevator ride and we are in the lobby.
“Happy Thanksgiving Carl!”
“And to you two!” Carl says happily as he opens the front door.
We climb into Rudy’s taxi. “Where to?” he grins.
“As close to Hearld Square as possible, please” I ask.
Putting the car in drive, “It’s early, but I can probably only get four blocks away.”
“That’s fine” James says.
“How was the Gala last night?”
James smiles. “It was wonderful” I say. “They always put on a glorious show.”
“It is pretty spectacular!” Rudy chuckles at his own pun.
James joins in the chuckle, “Good one!”
I kiss his cheek, “My king of dad jokes” I giggle. James pulls me in closer a huge cheesy grin plastered on his face.
Pulling over, “This is as close as I can get you to the Square today.” There are roadblocks on almost every street.
“No worries. Thanks!” James says happily.
Leaning over the back of his seat, “Give me a call when you’re ready to head back. I’ll collect you at this corner.” James pays the fare, then climbs out.
“Thank you, Rudy. And Happy Thanksgiving!” I say as I climb out after James.
“Enjoy the parade!” Rudy says. He waits a moment as someone is ready to jump in almost before I’m completely out of the car.
“That happen often?” James gives the other rider a dirty look.
“Almost every time.” I do up my coat and tug on my cap. James follows suit and we head toward the Square.
There’s a check in point for Grandmother’s seats. A young assistant looks up from her tablet and looks at me. She looks at James. Her complexion fades a little. “I hate to ask, but I am supposed to check IDs.”
“Of course.” I turn to James. He looks at me. “Mine is in your wallet.”
“Oh yeah.” He pulls it out, shows the young woman my ID then slips it back into his wallet then back into his pocket. He pulls his coat down over his pockets.
“Thank you.” She picks up a walk-talkie. “Someone will be here shortly to show you to your seats.” She fidgets with her gloves.
“Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving” I say.
She blushes, “And to you too!”
Hands grab my shoulders, “There you are!”
Turning, “Mrs. Corbett! Happy Thanksgiving!”
“Thank you! And to you!” She pulls me from the check in point. I grab James’ hand. “This way!”
She leads us past all the TV cameras and across the street to the stands setup in front of the stores’ grand entrance. We weren’t quite as far to the end of the bench as I would have liked, but, we weren’t front and center either.
“So, what did you think of the show last night?” Mrs. Corbett asks James.
“I can see why it’s called Spectacular!” he smiles broadly. I stifle a snort. “I really enjoyed it!”
“I am so glad!” Her radio buzzes. “I must away! I will come collect you after to visit the Big Guy.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Corbett!”
“Again, with the Big Guy.” James cocks his eyes at me. I just grin at him.
The bench begins to fill up. As families arrive on our bench, I shift us to our left to allow them to sit in the middle. James looks at me, questions in his eyes. I point to all the cameras across the street. “Technically, this is the worst seat in the house as all the performances will be staged to face the cameras.” James nods. “Moving us to the side means minimal camera time for us.” I reach up and tug his stocking cap down a little more on his head. He slouches a little giving me a side long glance with a gleam in his eyes. I snorfel a giggle.
He snakes an arm around my waist and lifts my chin with his other hand and kisses me. “Hey you.”
“Hey you.”
“Happy Thanksgiving.”
I reach up and tenderly kiss him. “Happy Thanksgiving.”
He just holds me close to him, tucking my head under his chin.
The Broadway theatre presentations start. I lean into him, “Here we go!”
He’s trying to watch everything at once, “This is kinda exciting!” After the first performance, James pulls out his phone and discreetly snaps a selfie of us. After some texting, he pockets his phone. I look at him. “The kids.” I smile and nod. “And Lars.” I start giggling. “Rob. Kirk.”
“What? Not your manager?”
His eyes light up, “Oh yeah!” He pulls his phone out again and another text is sent. He shows me the response from Kirk. A middle finger. “Oops. He’s in Hawaii.” I grimace. He checks once more. His kids each sent him selfies back. I watch him as he reads their messages. He tucks his phone into his inside jacket pocket and takes my hand.
I squeeze it. “I made a promise to you.” He kisses the back of my gloved hand. I lean into his ear, “I will never get between you and your kids.” His eyes glow as he kisses my hand again.
The sirens of the NYC motorcycle cops echo in the concrete canyon. “This is the start!” I spend the next few hours watching him watch the parade. He tries to watch everything at the same time. Somewhere in the middle I open the hand warmers slipping one into each glove. The flurries start just as the end approaches, I get a little excited. My favorite float. Santa. I get giggly and little teary eyed.
James pulled me into a full on hug. “You ok?”
Wiping away the tears, “This was our favorite.”
“You and your Grandmother?” I could only nod. He just holds me.
As the people began to leave the stands, I tug James hand to keep our seats. A short time later, Mrs. Corbett shows up. “Well? What did you think?” she asked James.
“Wow.” His face full of joy, “This is an experience. I am so glad that we came.” His arm still around my waist.
“Well, someone is waiting to meet you two!” She smiles at me conspiratorially. “Let’s go!” She leads us from the stands to a side door, down a hallway and into what looks like a conference room. “Wait here just a moment.” She leaves us there.
I sit on the table and pull off my cap and gloves tucking them into my coat pockets. “Did you really enjoy it?”
He grabs my face, “Yes!” He kisses me.
“I’m glad.”
James pulls off his gloves and loosens his coat and scarf. Standing between my knees, he pulls me into his chest. I wrap my arms around him. No words are needed. Just being together is enough.
I hear the door open and there’s a soft tap. James turns and Mrs. Corbett is standing there. “Are you ready?”
“Yes” I respond sliding off the table and taking James’ hand. We leave the conference room and are led into a winter wonderland. There are Christmas trees everywhere covered in all kinds of ornaments – each with a price tag. We walk slowly through them, me leading James. His blue eyes seem to sparkle with wonder. There is no one else in the space. We move past the last trees and there, on a huge chair that’s almost throne like, sits Santa.
I keep walking forward. James looks at me, “The Big Guy, huh?”
“uh huh!” I almost skip the last bit.
“There you are! I haven’t seen you in a very long time Kira!”
“Hi Santa!”
“And you must be James.”
Almost blushing, James nods. He gives me a look. I crinkle my nose at him.
“I understand that this is your first time seeing the Parade in person, James. Tell me. What did you think?” Santa leans forward, hands on his knees.
“Honestly, it was amazing.” James grins. “The balloons don’t look that big on the TV.”
“Yes, they would look smaller on TV” Santa chuckles. “Even on a big screen” he chuckles again. “I know what this one wants for Christmas” Santa nods towards me, “But what would you like?”
James cocks a look at me, “What do you want?”
I raise my eyebrows at Santa. “It’s the same request every year. Snow. From about 9pm Christmas Eve to about 10am on Christmas Day” Santa chuckles out. Looking at me, “You know that all I can do is forward your request on to Mother Nature.”
“I do Santa. And I appreciate that.”
Giving a big belly laugh, “Well, you are a very good girl!”
James kisses my temple, “Yes she is.”
“So, what can I bring you, James.”
He thinks a moment nodding. “Happiness. For my kids.”
“I will see what I can do for your three children.”
I watch as James’ eyebrows almost meet his hairline. Santa just belly laughs.
“Thank you, Santa.”
“You are most welcome Kira” Santa says happily.
I look up at James, “You want a photo with the Big Guy?”
James laughs, “Sure!”
Santa laughs again. Mrs. Corbett appears and takes our phones. James sits beside Santa and I perch on their knees. Several snaps are taken on each phone. I almost trip getting up, but James grabs me.
“Good catch there James!” Santa laughs softly.
“Yes, she is.” James smiles broadly at Santa. “Merry Christmas, Big Guy.”
Santa lets out a deep genuine belly laugh, “Ho ho ho! Big Guy! Ho ho ho!!!”
Heading back into the trees, I stop to look at the ornaments. A crystal snowflake catches my eye. I feel James take my left hand into his. I collect the ornament. He kisses my hand. I look at him. Then my hand. There on my ring finger is an eternity band with the sparkliest diamonds I have ever seen. James slips his hand around my neck and kisses me deeply. I am in total shock.
“This is not an engagement ring.” James’ eyes are serious. “I told you that I’d never marry again. But,” he looks at my hand, “this is a promise ring.” I’m confused. “A promise that I will spend every day earning your forgiveness.” He kisses me again. My heart soaring higher. My insides fluttering hard. My brain saying ‘Ok, we good’. He rests his forehead on mine, “Don’t say it. I can see it in your eyes. Let me have this.”
“Ok” squeaks out of me. “This is just a start then….”
Smiling, “That’s what I want to hear,” and he kisses me again. Deeply. Someone clears their throat. We both snicker. Pulling me into his side, we find our way out of the trees. He pays for my snowflake. It gets wrapped up and we head to the exit. The flurries have become an outright snow fall. He texts Rudy as we make our way to the pick-up corner, both of us pulling on our gloves and doing up our coats. We did have to stand a few minutes waiting for Rudy. He was most apologetic. We assure him that as long as he was safe, that was all that mattered. Getting to the building, James pays Rudy and probably tips him well. Morty opens the door for us and we quickly escape the wind and cold. Getting to the apartment front door, James opens it and we get hit with the smell of roasting turkey.
“Oh man! That smells wonderful!” I groan.
James dumps his outer layers on the table and checks the oven. He uses the meat thermometer. He smiles broadly. “Almost done!”
I pull off my outer layers and set about making the rest of dinner. The yams get popped into the microwave. The rolls get set in front of the oven vent. The green beans are set on the stove. I pull out the pie and set it on the counter.
We both clear off the dining room table of our outer layers. I show James the rack for drying gloves and scarves in the hallway. The coats get hung in the hall closet, I make sure that the heater vent is wide open before closing the door. We set the table together. My new ring still catches me off guard.
James checks the bird again, “It’s done!” He sets it on the butcher block.
“How long does it need to rest?”
“About 20 minutes.”
“Perfect!” I pull the yams from the microwave and shift them to the oven. Reaching into the cabinet, I pull out the mini-marshmallows. James opens the bag and grabs some. He tosses a couple at me, but I miss catching both. So he pops several directly into my mouth.
I had to dig for Grandmother’s carving set. “I haven’t used it in years.”
James takes it, “Wow. This is an excellent set.” He sits down with it and sharpens the blade with the whetstone in the box. I watch him. He was very intent on making sure that it was done correctly. I pull out a platter and he sets about carving up the turkey. I put the marshmallows on the yams. I put the rest of dinner on the table, the yams last. James sets the main course in the middle. I turned the oven off and put the pie in to warm with the door open. I finally sit down at the table.
He turns to me, holding his hands out to me. I put my hands in his. He wraps his fingers around my hands, his right fingers toying with the ring on my left hand. “It’s tradition to say what you are thankful for before digging in.” I just nod. “I am thankful that you wrote that note and that it snowed that night.” He kisses both my hands.
“I am thankful that you didn’t just slam the door on me. That you are truly trying to earn my forgiveness.” I kiss his hands. Then I wipe away the tear that falls from his eye.
He leans into me and kisses me. My stomach rumbles. I snort into our kiss. He just out right laughs. “Light or dark?” he asks merrily.
“Both.”
It wasn’t a huge bird, but it wasn’t tiny either. We managed to do it justice. Along with the other dishes on the table. There are leftovers that still got put away. The dishwasher gets loaded. We plop onto the sofa.
“Pie?”
James belches, “Not yet.”
I turn on the TV. We settle on watching the classic black and white Miracle movie. We both chuckle at the old balloons after seeing the new ones earlier in the day. Once it was over, James stands and goes into the kitchen, “Pie?”
“Yes please.”
He brings back two plates with pie slices on them totally covered in whipped cream.
“Did the patisserie chef have the night off?” I deadpan and blink quickly at him.
James actually snorts. Hard. I take the plates from him – setting them on the coffee table - as he was laughing so hard. When he calms, “I knew I wanted a dessert that night, and that’s all I had!”
“It was perfect under the circumstances!”
He bowls into me laying me out flat on the sofa. His eyes shining. “This has been the best Thanksgiving I have ever had.” Our lips meet. “Ever.”
My hands caress his face, “Me too.”
He grabs my left hand and kisses both my ring and my finger. Then my mouth. He shifts his leg over me and I push back. “What?”
“I gotta pee!”
We detangle ourselves and I run to the closest bathroom. After washing up, I return to the sofa. It’s empty. The flush of another toilet tells me where he is. I collect a plate from the coffee table and dig into it as James returns to the sofa. “It’s nice to have several bathrooms so close together” he says, picking up his plate and joining me on the sofa. I change the channel to the local news. The parade – was of course – the lead story. The follow up: US at the Gala and parade. We just look at each other. It wasn’t a long blip, but enough to totally unnerve me. I was the unknown woman at his side. He kinda giggles.
“What?” I squeak.
“I wonder what they would think if they knew that everything was under your name!”
I had to giggle too.
The news carries on into the weather. Full on snow fall overnight with clearing late Saturday afternoon for the balance of the week. We both look out the front windows. It is snowing pretty good. But small little flakes. James leans into my ear, “Looks like you got your wish.”
I turn my head to him, “It’s not Christmas Eve.”
I turn off the TV. We eat our pie watching the snow fall. I put our plates on the coffeetable. James stretches out and puts his head in my lap. I play with his silvered locks. I look down as he snores softly. I drag a blanket over his damned long legs and watch the snow. The day replays for me. His cooking in the morning. His hands. The parade. Santa. Dinner. My ring. I take the time to really look at it. The diamonds are set in the middle of a wide silver band. Between every pair of diamonds is a gold cross or x. I tug it off. Inscribed on the inside of the band: Tiffany’s. I almost drop it on his face. Slipping it back on my finger, I look at him. He’d not begged off dinner to come home to me. He’d begged off dinner to go shopping. At Tiffany’s. For me. I was in shock. The private flight from Denver. Dinner from the Tavern. A ring from Tiffany’s. He’s spent a fortune on me. James grunts some and shifts in his sleep, his face turning into my stomach. I tenderly caress his cheek. It’s a little scruffy as he didn’t shave this morning. I smooth his eyebrows. He sighs in his sleep, his body relaxing a little more. I sit there in my tiny NY apartment with the megarocksuperstargod snoring in my lap. My upper arms still bearing the bruises from our escapades yesterday morning. The ring from Tiffany’s wrapped around my finger. The memories of Colorado. The laughter that has built up after. “Yes, James” I whisper. “You are doing a great job working on my forgiveness.” Again, I smooth his eyebrows with my fingertips. “And I will continue to work on not taking you for granted.” I don’t remember my eyes closing.
“Hey sleepy head, c’mon.” James’s voice a sweet rumble in my ear. I sniff awake. It’s late. It’s still snowing. James is standing in front of me. “C’mon, lets get comfy in bed.”
I make it off the sofa. James’ arm guides me to the bedroom. I tug off my shirt just inside the door. James pulls his off. I sit on the bed and pull off my pants. James is stretching right in front of me. I undo his pants and they fall off his hips. James reaches behind me to flip the covers down, “In we go.” He guides me back into his body. I tuck my feet under the covers. He pulls the covers up over us. I curl up around his arm which doubles as my pillow. He wraps his other arm around my ribs. His nose buries into the back of my neck.
Moments later, we are both snoring softly.

Wednesday
I roll over to find the bed empty. It is barely dawn. I hear a guitar being played. I smile. James was somewhere in my place doodling. I crawl out of bed, still very sore from yesterday morning, but it makes me smile. Pulling a robe on over what I’d worn the day before, I pad out to the living room. James is sitting on the sofa, guitar on his knee, notepad on the coffee table, completely lost in writing. Not wanting to crunch in on his vibe, I return to bed. Laying there listening to him create.
His lips are pressed against my temple, “Hey sleepy head.” His hand rubs my back, “You gonna wake up today?”
I scrunch up my eyebrows, “What time is it?
“About 8.”
I stretch and groan at the same time. “Did you finish your song?”
“Did I wake you with it?” his eyes showing concern.
“It sounded really good.” I smile, and get lost in those fucking blue eyes.
He kisses my neck, “I still need to work on some things, but yeah. It’s gonna be better on electric.”
I caress his arms, “I’m looking forward to hearing it.” I stretch again and yawn, rebounding into a ball.
He pats my hip. “My turn to make breakfast. C’mon.”
He helps me climb out of bed. Walking into the kitchen, he’d already started the coffee maker. For being the megarockgodsuperstar, he could actually cook. Sorta. His grilling skills are far better, but he still knows his way around in the kitchen. He put together a breakfast for us of scrambled eggs with cheese, sourdough toast, sliced avocados and coffee. His eggs are fluffy. The toast is well buttered. The coffee hot. He clears away the plates when we are done. We curl up on the sofa under a blanket. “What do you want to see today?” I ask him.
“You.” He kisses me, “Naked.” His eyes twinkling.
“I can barely move after yesterday morning!”
“Didn’t say I was going to fuk you, just that I want to see you naked.”
“MMmk.” I stand up, tossing the blanket aside and take his hand. Leading him back toward my office and into that bathroom. The only one with a tub in it. I had replaced the stupid shallow apartment tub with an old-fashioned claw footed cast iron monster tub. Turning on the taps to start filling it, I pull off my clothes. Then I start pulling off James’. I dump some bath salts into the waters, then I step into the tub and sit. James slides in behind me. Using my toes, I turn off the water when the tub is full. James lets water fill his hands to pour it slowly over my shoulders. I gently message his arms. Reaching under the water, I message his thighs and calves. James gently rolls me to the side and rubs my back, making me sigh in contentment. He still flinches at the sight of my bruised arms. I move his hand between my legs, “I can still feel you” I purr into his ear. His other hand grabs my head and kisses me deeply.
“I love you” he whispers.
“I love you” I whisper back. My insides fluttering. My heart soaring. My brain screaming ‘Hang on a second here.’ I pushed that last thought to the side.
We lay there in the tub, wrapped in each other’s arms until the water begins to chill. Since it is a cast iron tub, that takes some time. We finally climb out and wrap up in towels and cross my apartment to pull on some clothes.
“What time is the gala thingy?” James asked.
“We have to be there no later than 5pm.” I look at the clock, it was just coming up on 1pm. “Do you want some lunch? There’s paella left.”
“mmm! That sounds great!” as he kisses the back of my neck.
Pulling on clean Yoga pants and a t-shirt – trying to keep the bruises from showing - I quickly get into the kitchen and pull out the paella. James comes up behind me as I put the dish into the oven. He wraps his arms around me as I set the temp and a timer. His hands grab my boobs pulling me into his chest, his face buried in my neck. “What are you doing?” I giggle.
“Hugging you.”
“Groping my boobs!” He gently squeezes them. I reach back with both hands and grab any part of him I can – his head and a hip. His mouth starts working on my neck. I pull away slightly, “No hickies today.” The suction becomes pressure, but I can feel him smile. I pull his head a little closer, “Tonight” I whisper. I can feel his question, “I’m wearing a sweater and scarf tomorrow.” His kisses are little harder. I sigh out a laugh. Pulling his hands from my boobs, I turn in his arms. He rests his hands on my ass. I caress his face with both hands. “You are so handsome.” I can see the doubt in those big blue eyes. “You are.” I pull his face to mine and kiss his lips wrapping an arm around his head. His arms wrap around my waist. We are still kissing when the timer goes off. I pull away gently, “I don’t want to burn lunch” my hands holding his head.
He smiles at me, “Please don’t burn the paella. It should be really good today since it’s marinated.”
I smile at him, “I can’t reach into the oven.”
“Hmmm.” He looks at me, the oven and back to me. “I suppose…” as he gently releases me.
Our hands slowly drift off the other. I turn off the timer and check in the oven. It’s bubbling nicely. Grabbing a couple hot pad holders I pull out the dish. James has already pulled out the two bowls from the dishwasher. I grab the leftover rice from the fridge and pop it into the microwave. James pulls out two spoons and napkins and has the table set by the time the microwave is done.
Opening the fridge, “Drink?”
Pulling the rice from the microwave, I start portioning out our lunch, “Uhmmm, Obituary today, thanks!” He kisses the top of my head as he passes me. Picking up the bowls, I follow him to the table.
He takes a bite, “This is even better today!”
Nodding, “It usually is better a day or so later.”
We’re about done when the doorbell rings. I answer the door, “Carl.”
“Your bird, Miss Mooreland” he smiles.
“Actually, it’s his, but ok!” I open the door wider.
Carl carries the bag from the store to the kitchen and James joins us. He opens the bag and unwraps the butcher paper from the bird. Since it was a fresh one, it wasn’t covered in plastic wrapping. Nodding, “Looks fine” James smiles.
“Excellent!” Carl says as he heads back to the front door.
I follow, “Carl, we’re going to need a car service for this evening.”
“Going to the Gala?”
“Yes, but the catch is, the gown I’ll be wearing I can’t bend over.” I am ever so slightly embarrassed.
Carls’ eyebrows knit together, “This one is a challenge, but I’ll see what I can do for you.” He steps out into the hallway, “Pick up about 4pm?”
“Yes please.”
Nodding, “I’ll ring you!” and he’s off down the hallway with his cart full of turkey deliveries.
I close the door and go back to the kitchen. James has put the clean dishes away and is working on putting the dirties in it. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!” He cocks a goofy grin, “I had an ulterior motive.”
Looking askance at him, “And that was….”
“I need a pan for the bird.”
“Ahh.” Going to another high cupboard, I manage to swing the door open, “There are a couple in here.”
James comes up behind me and easily pulls them both down. “I think one of these will do.” He returns to the bird and puts it into one of the pans.
“Do you want foil to cover it?”
“Foil or a towel will work.” He repositions the bird, “Or both.” I dig out an old kitchen towel and pull the foil from the drawer. James soaks the towel, squeezes it lightly and places it over the bird then covers the whole thing with the foil. I give him a look. “The soaked towel will keep it from drying out in the fridge. The foil keeps the moisture in the pan.”
“Huh.” I screw up my eyebrows, “I think Grandmother said something like that.”
James puts the panned bird in the fridge, then washes his hands. “It’s probably time we think about getting ready for this evening.”
Looking at the clock on the stove, “You’re probably right. I should wash my hair.”
He grabs my hand, “I’ll help” he smiles at me.
Letting him lead me to the bathroom, “You just love playing with my hair!”
Nodding, “That too!”
A good scrubbing later, we both emerge from the shower stall. James stops at the sink and checks his cheeks. Grabbing a second towel, I leave the bathroom while he shaves. Sitting on the bed, I towel my hair dry. I hear the blow dryer in the bathroom. Three minutes later, James comes into the bedroom. Naked. I heave a sigh.
“What?” he looks at me.
“You look wonderful.” He rubs his belly. “Trust me, you look wonderful.” I take his hand and put it between my legs where I’m getting wetter by the moment.
Grinning wickedly, “We don’t have time right now.”
“Sadly” I whine.
He reclaims his hand from my body and licks me from it, groaning.
Reaching up I cup his face, “Later” I whisper. Then I smack his ass. He grabs me and kisses me, smiling.
“Where is my suit?”
“Hanging out with my gown” I nod towards the closet. James relinquishes his hold on me and opens the door. He pulls out his suit pants and lays them on the bed. He reaches into his suitcase and pulls out a pair of briefs and socks. I return to the bathroom to attend my hair and makeup. Starting with a quick double bump to the pits. Once my makeup is done, I work on pulling up my hair. I manage to get a couple of long curls left out to hang down my back. Digging out my curling iron, I add a little more curl to them. Taking another look at me in the mirror, I like what I’ve come up with. Deciding to not take any chances, I take a damp cloth and give my sex a quick wipe down. Then pull out a tampon and put it in place. I wasn’t going to take the chance that I’d leak my arousal all over my gown since I have to go completely commando under it. I hear James becoming frustrated in the bedroom. “What’s wrong?” I ask as I reenter the room.
“I can’t get these cuff links…” he’s struggling with the little gold devices.
Holding out my hands, “Here, let me.” It took a moment, but I got them in place. Patting his wrists, “There.” I help him with his jacket. I make sure that his shirt collar in the back is standing up. He turns. “Damn!” I breath.
“What?” he starts checking his clothes.
“You look hot!!” The tampon was great idea.
“So do you!” he grabs me and kisses my cheek.
“I need to get dressed!”
Patting my ass, “Mmmk” he pouts slightly as he releases me.
I dig out my shoes first. After putting them on I pull out my gown. It’s deep green velvet with rhinestone trim is actually pretty heavy. Its plunging back makes it easy to step into. I pull it up and James helps make sure that it sits correctly on my shoulders. His fingers gently tug up the plunging back to make sure that my ass is covered. Barely. His fingers linger a moment before he gently runs them up my back to fluff my curls. He plants a soft kiss between my shoulder blades.
Then he stands back, “Wow.” His eyes are radiant. “I do love this gown on you.”
I gently rub the front of his pants, “You love this gown off me” as I walk out of the bedroom.
He groans, “That too!”
Going to my office, I pull out my ID from my clutch wallet. Returning to the dining table I check my phone. No call from Carl yet.
“I’ll put that with mine” James says putting my ID in his wallet with his.
“Thank you.”
His fingers make lazy patterns on my exposed back. “What jacket are you going to wear? It’s cold out there.”
“Oh.” I think a moment, “You’ll need an over coat too.” I take his hand, “Come with me.” I led him to the storage bedroom. This had been Grandmother’s room. She’d had her closet lined in cedar. I open that door and pull out an overcoat, “I think this will fit you.” James turns and I pull the overcoat up his arms. It fits him perfectly as I smooth my hands over his shoulders. He turns slowly, his fingers running over the material. He just looks at me. “It was my Grandfathers. I never met him, but Grandmother said that someday I’d need it.” I look into his blue eyes. “I guess that is today.”
“It’s beautiful.” James kisses me tenderly. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” I turn back to the closet and pull out Grandmother’s dress coat – as she called it. “I never saw her wear this. But like Grandfather’s, she insisted that I keep it.” The coat is curly black wool, with a broad fur collar.
James takes it from my hands and holds it for me. I slip my hands into the sleeves and James pulls it up my arms, gently lifting my curls so that they don’t get smashed. He fingers the fur collar, “This is real fur.”
“I think Grandmother said it was fox.”
James rests his hands on my waist, “Does that bother you?”
“Not really. I think Grandfather hunted it.” I run my fingers over the pelt. “They would not have been trophy hunters. In the 30’s they would have needed the meat.” Knowing his feelings on hunting, I smile at him.
James presses a kiss to my forehead. He fluffs the collar, “It looks beautiful on you.”
I hear a phone buzz. “I think our ride is here.”
James takes my hand and pulls me from the bedroom back to the dining room table. “yup. That’s Carl.” He pats his pockets, “Phone, wallet.” He reaches into his front pants pocket, “key!” He grins like a cheshire cat. “Ready?”
“Yup!” as I head to the front door. This gown makes me walk a little taller, straighter back. Namely because if I slouch, the gown will slide off my naked body.
James locks the apartment door and offers me his elbow as we walk to the elevator. “You look amazing” he breathes into my ear. A few moments later, we are in the lobby. Carl is opening the front door for Mrs. Friedman and Floofy to come in.
Looking up, Mrs. Friedman stops. “Kira. You look gorgeous. Is that your Grandmother’s overcoat?”
“Thank you, Mrs. Friedman. Yes it is.”
Leaning in a little closer, “May I see your gown?”
Smiling, James helps me pull off the coat. He takes my hand and spins me slowly. I hear a gasp from Mrs. Friedman. James pulls the coat back up my arms.
“Gorgeous and scandalous!” Mrs. Friedman actually smiles, “Just like your Grandmother.”
“Thank you” I reply quietly.
“Miss Mooreland, James, your car is here” Carl says holding the door open.
James again offers me his arm and we walk to the car. I hear Mrs. Friedman say to Carl, “They make a good-looking couple.”
We both snorfell laughs.
I have to reach inside the coat to pull up the back of my gown before sitting. “You ok?” James asks.
“Just making sure that I don’t stretch out the back” as I sit in the bucket seat.
James holds his hand out to me. I lay my hand in the warmth of his. He slow blinks me. I smile back at him. All too soon, the van pulls up to the front of Radio City Music Hall. It’s a full-on red-carpet event. I look at James, “We don’t have to…”
He lifts my hand and kisses it. “I want to.”
The door by James is opened by a valet. He steps out. It takes a moment, then the photographers go nuts. The big megasuperstarrockgod at the Rockettes Gala. Gracefully turning, James holds his hand out for me. I gingerly step out of the vehicle, grabbing his hand. Once he knows that me – and my gown – are safely out of the car, he tucks my hand into his elbow. The cameras are non-stop. As we approach the doors, I can see the confusion on the staffs’ faces. James’ name is not on the list. I stop at one staff member holding a tablet, “Mooreland.” Looking at the list, he finds my name and smiles at me. He opens the door to the Hall. James steps back slightly to let me enter first. Once inside, an usher points the way to coat check. James sheds his first, then turns me so that I’m facing into the foyer and slides my coat off. He collects the check ticket. Stepping up behind me, he gently takes my left wrist in his left hand. From over my right shoulder, his right hand appears – holding a pink rose. I burst out laughing looking up into his sparkling blue eyes just before he kisses me gently. I can hear the cameras outside going bonkers. I take the rose from his hand and he gently lets his right arm drift down my bare back to rest just above the scoop of the gown barely covering my ass as we walk into the foyer. Again, I hear the cameras clicking away like crazy.
Mrs. Corbett approaches me, “Kira! I am so glad to see you!” She gives me a quick peck on each cheek.
“Good to see you Mrs. Corbett!” Pulling James a little closer, “May I introduce you to James Hetfield.”
Mrs. Corbett’s eyes grow large, but she maintains her cool, “Welcome to Radio City Music Hall!”
Nodding slightly, “Thank you. It’s really pretty.” I can feel him wince.
“Yes it is an amazing building. Have you seen the Spectacular before?”
“No, this is my first time” James says happily now that the subject is changed, his fingers gently playing on my lower back.
“This is the first time James has done the holiday in person.”
Looking at me, “Then you will be using your Grandmother’s seats tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“I will personally make sure that you have seats front and center!”
Raising a hand gently, “I’d prefer the front and center seats go to the kids.” I can see Mrs. Corbett thinking. “However, I would love to have an appointment with the – uhm – Big Guy.”
Her face lights up, “Done!” She looks across the foyer, “Excuse me please” and she hurries away.
“The Big Guy?” James just looks cockeyed at me.
“Yup.” I smile back mischievously at him. “The Big Guy.” James’ fingers gently lift my chin and he kisses me tenderly. More camera nuttery.
I wrap my right arm around his arm as an usher approaches. “Miss Mooreland, your box is ready.” She indicates the stairs, “This way please.” I shift the rose from my left hand to my right, grabbing a fist full of skirt as we start to climb the stairs. Again, I hear the cameras clicking away. Once at the top I drop the fabric. James looks at me concerned. I just smile back at him. Entering the box, I slide one chair closer to the rail and – holding up the back of my gown – sit. I pull the other chair closer to me and pat the seat. James just snickers at me and sits, his hand resting on my thigh. I look at him, “You ok?”
Shifting his hand from my leg to wrap around my shoulders, his fingers gently pulling me closer, “You never said it was box seating.”
“oops.”
He kisses my temple smiling.
The lights go down.
Two hours later, we participate in the standing ovation. The smile spread across his face lifts my heart. He sinks back down in his seat. “That was amazing.”
I smile at him, “TV doesn’t do it justice.”
His eyebrows are almost in his hairline, “NO. It does not!” He stands again and plants a kiss on me, “Thank you.”
Grabbing the backs of his arms, “You are very welcome.”
The Hall slowly is emptying out. James holds his hand out to me and we leave the box. Looking up and down the hallway, he pins me to the wall, kissing me deeply. His mouth by my ear, “I can’t wait to get you home.”
I whimper. “Let’s go.”
He again takes my hand and we walk down the hallway to the main stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, James leaves me with my pink rose standing in the middle of the foyer facing the doors – I think deliberately – to go collect our coats. I see him pull out his phone. Probably calling our car. He shrugs on his overcoat and collects mine. Coming up behind me, he gently turns me and then - with a smug look in his eyes – gently lifts my coat up my arms, one at time to accommodate the rose. He deftly pulls out my curls and drapes them over the fur collar. I just look knowingly up at him. He’s showing me off. Somehow, I’m fine with that. He takes my hand and completes the spin, tucking my hand into his elbow just as his phone buzzes. “Ready?” I merely nod and let him lead me out into the cold to the car. Again, the cameras are going wild. He hands me into the car and then climbs in himself. “Home?”
“Yes, please.”
James nods to the driver as he pulls me into his side. I bury my nose into the pink rose. “I still have the postit petals.”
“You do?” his blue eyes sparkling.
“Of course I do.” I play with the real rose in my hands. “That was very creative and romantic.” He just smiles at me leaning in to kiss me.
We get back to the building and step out of the car. The night doorman, Morty, opens the door. “Miss Mooreland! Very good to see you again! How was the Gala?”
“Thank you Morty. Good to see you too! Wonderful as always!”
“It was marvelous!” James chimes in.
“Uhm, Morty. Would you please keep a keen eye out for paparazzi?”
“Of course, Miss Mooreland.” Morty pushes the elevator call button. He winks at James, “When you’re out with the most eligible single woman in New York City, everyone is going to want your picture!”
“Already?” I say.
“Probably page six tomorrow morning” Morty grins.
The elevator door opens. We step in. “Page six?” a look of total confusion on James’ face.
“The gossip page” I lean into James.
“Most eligible single woman, huh?”
“Not any more” I lean a little harder into his body.
Kissing my hair, “Good!”
The doors open. After opening the front door I dip into the first bathroom using it and pulling out the tampon – that is completely soaked. My rose gets dropped into a water glass. Two minutes later, we are both naked in bed exploring each other’s bodies. Our clothes, jackets, and shoes are strewn in a path from the front door to the bedroom.

Tuesday
Blinking in the morning light, I groan awake flat on my back. My left arm up over my head. James’ left arm is wrapped over my ribs. He’s on his stomach, but his face is buried in my side. He snorfels some as I stretch, his mustache tickling my side making me giggle. He blows a mouth fart on my side. I laugh out right at the vibrations in my chest. He tightens his hold on me and blows another. I can feel his smile as I squeal in laughter. He blows yet another, laughing himself. “No more! I gotta pee!” I squeak.
James lifts his arm from my ribs, “I concede the point to peeage!”
I almost leap from the bed and run to the bathroom. Washing up after, James pads in and gently scoops my 5 foot 2 frame into his 6 foot 1 body, kissing me. “Morning.”
I kiss him right back, “Morning.” I pad out naked to the kitchen and start the coffee pot.
“Aren’t you afraid people can look in your windows?” James asks. He’s put on a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top.
Shaking my head, “Nope. Tinted windows. As long as the lights aren’t on inside, I can’t be seen from outside. Besides, this window overlooks the park.” As I pad back to my bedroom, “Who’s gonna peep on me? A squirrel?”
“Never know!” he says loudly. “Those little buggers can’t be trusted!”
Digging into my closet, I pull out a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. Stopping in the bathroom, I pull up my hair. I get back to the kitchen just as the coffee pot beeps that it’s done. I hand James a mug, “Here ya go. I’ll be right back.” Going to the front door, I collect the newspaper. Carl will make sure that I get one in the mornings. Stopping at the dining table, I plop the newspaper down and do a quick glance through. The usual pre-holiday sales inserts take up most of it. Leaving it there, I walk toward the kitchen.
“I have yours here” James says from the living room. He’s on the sofa, sipping his coffee. My mug is on the table.
I make the turn and go into the living room. “Thanks” I breath, picking up the mug and taking a big slug.
“Did I get it right this time?” he smiles.
“Yes. It’s perfect!” I lean over and kiss him deeply. His hand cups the back of my head, holding me in the kiss. When we part, we are both breathing a little harder. “What time are you planning on going to the office?” I ask him.
He collects my mug, sets both on the table. “Later” he purrs at me as he carries me back to the bedroom, kissing me the whole way there. He lays me down under his body. Kneeling over me, his hands on either side of my ribs. My right hand reaches up and snarls into his silvered locks. My left hand grabs his right bicep. My legs are trapped between his. Our lips have yet to break from each other. He shifts his knees up closer to my ribs, freeing his arms. Still kissing me, he tugs my tank top up exposing my breasts. His big hands gently cup, message, palm and squeeze them. His fingers start to tease my nipples. I groan against his lips, my back arching into his chest, my fingers in his hair tighten making him sigh. He finally breaks our kiss and tugs his tank top off. He helps me pull mine all the way off. My hands wander over his chest and stomach. His tattoos and downy silver chest hairs get traced and tugged by my fingers. Moving backward on his knees, he tugs my yoga pants off as he gets off the bed and his shorts add to the pile of clothes on the floor. His eyes drink in my body. I’m outright panting at the sight of his naked frame at the foot of my bed. His erection bouncing off his belly. A wicked grin spreads across his face, “Up or down?”
I slowly run my hands up my body from my hips to my breasts, “You are the guest” I sigh out. “You get to pick.”
Leaning over, he grabs my ankles, “You are wicked this morning!” he flips me to my stomach. Before I can move, he’s between my legs, lifting my hips up on his thighs, his strong hands holding me tight, my back arched deeply, cheek pressed into the bedding. I can feel his cock pressed up against my dripping cunt. I groan loudly. I can feel his hand move between our bodies and position his head against my entrance. He tugs on my hips forcing just his cockhead into me. I gasp. “You are tight and wet” he groans.
“You are so damned thick” I whimper.
He chuckles wickedly at me. I can feel his legs shift. I know what he’s going to do. I can’t help myself, my walls grip his cockhead tightly. He groans loudly. “Fuk, that feels good!” as his fingers dig sharply into my hips. He patiently waits for me to relax. It’s hard to do with him just barely in me knowing what’s next. He runs his hands up my back from my ass to my neck and back down again, several times. I slowly relax, which eases the hold my gummy walls have on his dickhead. With one more run up my back with his hands, in one swift motion he grabs my upper arms, lifts his hips and completely impales me on his raging cock. I bury my face into the mattress with the primal noises that escape my mouth. He holds me there, cock buried balls deep into me, grunting. Then he slowly starts rocking his hips, slowly drawing in and out of my core. He begins to pick up the rhythm of his strokes. Each one a little harder than the one before. Deeper. Impossibly deeper. Harder. More primal. Neither one of us capable of forming a coherent word. The tension in my belly begins building fast. My breathing becomes ragged. I struggle in his hold which makes him tug me harder. I can feel his cock twitching inside me. His strokes becoming sloppy. Suddenly, he drops my arms, his body pressing me down into the mattress, his arms on either side of me, his lips next to my ear, “Mine” he growls as he reaches his pinnacle. My hips lift in to his as my orgasm slams into me. I scream into the mattress again. My gummy walls squeeze every last drop out of him as he makes a couple more thrusts into me. Then he collapses onto my body. Neither one of us can move. Both of us panting. His cock gently slides out of me. After a moment, he turns my head pulling my face out of the mattress. He kisses my temple. I huff out a laugh. He slowly rolls off my body, but pulls me to him, stroking my hair. I flop an arm over his ribs. “Now” he pants out, “that is a great way to start the day!”
“Yes” I kiss his ribs. “Yes it is.”
We both doze.
His chest hairs tickling my nose wake me. I roll slightly off his body. He’s sound asleep. His dark blonde eyelashes lay against his cheeks. They have just begun to show the silver that covers the rest of his body. I lay there watching him. Enjoying the shared warmth of our bodies intertwined. His penis flaccid and pressed against my thigh. Just a short time ago it had almost split me in two. I could still feel the inner stretch it had caused in me. I heave out a sigh. His eyes flutter open. Those glacier blue pools take me in and his face lights up in a smile. One hand he runs over my back, the other gently rubs my hip. “How you doing?” he mumbles.
I smile at him. “I’m excellent.”
His head lolls back on to the pillow. “I bet our coffees are cold.”
I bust out laughing. He looks at me and joins the laughter. Patting my hip, “Let’s get cleaned up.”
I shift out of his arms. He climbs out of the bed and holds a hand out to help me. Arms wrapped around each other, we head into the bathroom. A quick body shower revives me. James does the whole shebang. But then, he does have plans for the day. I wrap a towel around me, giving his back a kiss, I let him have the bathroom. Picking up my discarded yoga pants and top, I quickly get dressed. Then I tidy the bed. Damn, but we made a mess of it! I pick up his shorts and tank, fold them and put them on the foot of the bed. I pull on a sweater as my shoulders are getting chilled. James’ arms snake around my body, he buries his face into my neck. His freshly shaven cheeks are smooth. His cologne subtle but arousing. His mustache tickles my neck. I twist in his arms, wrapping mine around his neck. He leans down and kisses me. Then he looks at me and heaves a sigh.
“What’s wrong?”
“Just happy” he says quietly.
I run my hands down the back of his head to his neck to his shoulders “That makes me happy.” I stand on tip toe to kiss him.
Sighing again, he hugs me. Then gently eases his grip. He goes to his suitcase, “Do you know what today’s weather is supposed to be?”
“Depends on where you’re going.”
“uhm, Midtown I think is where the office is.”
“It’ll be windy there.” Sitting down on the bed, “Mid 30’s for the high today.”
James pulls out a pair of black jeans, a black t-shirt and a black sweater. His underwear has the only bright spot with its red stripe and lettering in the waistband. I kiss his bare back and let him get dressed. If I’d stayed, the bed would not only need to be remade, again, but the sheets would definitely have to be washed today. Actually, I should probably wash the ones we just used. But that can wait. Moving into the living room, I collect our coffee mugs. Going into the kitchen, I dump the contents out. I remake my mug. I still have three articles to crank out today. Going to the dining table, I re-start looking at the newspaper again. I pull out a couple of holiday shopping ads that pique my curiosity.
“Anything interesting?”
“Just a couple of ads so far.” I push them closer to James. “Otherwise, nope.”
Placing both his hands on the sides of my face, James kisses me. “Do you think I’ll need the big coat?”
Nodding, “I’d suggest you take it. It’s better to have it and not need it than to not have it and want it.”
Kissing my forehead, “Sage advise.” He pats his pockets. “Phone.”
“Charging on my office desk.”
“Oh yeah.” He goes into my office and returns checking it. “Management says that they’ll send a car service to pick me up.”
“Do you want to be incognito or get the hoopla?” James looks at me. “Towncar service will always draw attention in this town.”
“Incognito.”
“Let me ring Carl. He’ll get you in touch with Rudy.” I go into my office, setting my coffee down by my computer – which I power on - and call downstairs. A few minutes later, “James, give me your phone please.” He hands it to me. I enter a couple of numbers into it. Handing it back to James, “You now have Carl’s number. You also have listed under ‘Taxi’ Rudy’s number. Rudy has been the go to cabbie for years. And I added my address to my contact info.” I take a sip of coffee and pick up my phone sending a quick text. His phone buzzes. “That’s the grocery store from last night.”
James puts his phone in his pants pocket, “You are amazing.” He leans over and plants a solid kiss on me. Standing up, he looks at his watch. “I better get going.”
“Carl will ring you when Rudy gets here” I smile at him. James again plants a kiss on me, his hand cupping the back of my head. His phone buzzes. “Car’s here” I say against his lips.
He chuckles but stands up. As we walk to the front door, James collects his big coat. A thought suddenly hits me. “Wait wait wait” I say scampering to the kitchen. I pull from the front of a drawer a key ring. It only has one key on it. I hand it to James.
“What’s this?”
I smirk at him, “The key to my front door.”
He looks at me. “Really?”
I nod. “Please don’t lose that key ring. Grandmother gave it to me.”
Clutching the item in his hand to his heart, “I promise.” His phone buzzes again.
I kiss him, “Better get going.” We walk to the front door. “Have a great day!”
He kisses me, “You too!”
Then he’s out the door and it clicks closed behind him. I stand there a moment. I haven’t been alone since our fight three months ago. But this is different. I feel secure. Grabbing the morning paper, I return to my office and log into work.
I am two paragraphs from finishing the last article when I hear, “Honey! I’m home!”
“I’m in the office” I call out giggling. James wanders in and smiles at me. “What?”
“You didn’t eat lunch, did you?”
“Uhm no.” I giggle slightly. “Two more paragraphs and I’m done for the week!”
James kisses the top of my head, “Hurry up!”
Five minutes later, I complete the article. Saving it and my notes file, I send the links to both author and my boss. I exit out of my work server and power down my machine. Collecting my long cold coffee mug, I leave my office. I find James again standing at the living room window. I wrap my arms around his waist from behind.
“Come here” he says pulling me around in front of him. He cups my face and kisses me deeply.
I sniff, “You found a cigar bar.”
A smirk lifts his lips, “I did.”
“How’d things go with the managers?”
His hands begin working on my back, “Good. They insisted on taking me to Tavern on the Green for lunch. Then to a cigar bar.” He kissed my hair. “They wanted to take me out to dinner, but I begged off.” He again kisses me deeply. “I wanted to be with you.” His hands run down my arms and I wince. With concerned filled eyes, James tugs my sweater open. My upper arms are very black and blue where he’d grabbed them earlier this morning. His face pales.
I reach up to his face cupping it with both hands, “Don’t.” My fingers gently stroke his face. He’d been served papers, shortly after our argument, being charged with rape. The claimant saying that her evidence were old photos showing that he’d bruised her. The case was thrown out when it was brought to light that she’d tried to accuse several other stars of the same thing using the same photos. But it had unnerved James. Because he’s a big man and – I’m not complaining – likes things a little on the rough side in bed. “Don’t you go down that path. We both know what put these on my arms.” I pull his forehead to mine. “I completely enjoyed this morning.” I kiss his lips, chin, neck. He shudders a sigh. “Look at me.” His blue eyes find my brown ones. “I’m ok.” I kiss him again. “Nothing a little arnica oil can’t fix.”
His hands press against my back, “But not before tomorrow night.”
I smile up at him, “That gown is long sleeved.” I can see him digging into his memories and then smiles at me. I wiggle my eyebrows at him.
He kisses my forehead again sighing. “I brought back dinner.” His eyes light up, “And I got a really good looking set of ribs for Sunday!” He grabs my hand and pulls me to the kitchen. Again, kid with the key to the candy shop. He pulls out the ribs and unwraps them. They really do look great. He’d also gotten corn bread mix and some beans. He rewraps the ribs and stows them in the fridge. Then he pulls up a large bag from Tavern on The Green. He’d ordered us each a Rack of Lamb. They smell wonderful.
“James … wow.”
“You’ve never been there?”
I just shake my head. He moves me to the dining table and begins setting out our dinner, talking the whole time about the experience. I just smile at him. After putting out everything, he finally takes a chair. He smiles at me, “Dinner’s served madam” using his really lousy French accent.
It was amazing. Then he pulls out the four desserts he’d ordered. “I couldn’t decide on just one.” We share the Bing Cherry Crème Brule, the Key Lime Tart, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie and the classic New York Cheesecake slice. Neither of us could finish them. I lean back in my chair, patting a very full belly, “I think I over did.”
He pats his, “Me too.” And belches loudly.
Together we clean up, then sink into the sofa. I curl up into him. He wraps an arm around me, the other he strokes my hair. We just sit there, enjoying being together. No need to talk. I lay a hand on his chest, gently messaging him. He lifts my chin. His glorious blue eyes sparkling. I smile. He kisses me. Tenderly. Softly. Then he tucks me close to him. I sigh into his chest. The next thing I know, he’s pulling the sheets up over us both in bed. I kiss his bare chest and let sleep reclaim me.
I am having so much fun writing these! Here is the October offering.
The one for November is in the wings!
Link to the September post:
Warnings: The end is NSFW. Strip Joints mentioned.
Damn this man can be frustrating. I suppose any man can be frustrating. I’ve had relationships before. But none of them worked out. The last serious one that I’d had ended a couple of years ago and it broke my heart. Ok. Shredded it. This one came damned close to doing it again. Although the last month, we have both been working on it. Together. We’ve had some heated discussions. No yelling. Some discussions have ended with the agreement to disagree. Some he’s changed my mind. Some I’ve changed his. But here it is, close to Halloween and I’m sick. I have kept him at a distance because I don’t want him getting sick. Hell, Lars would skin me alive if I get the mighty James Hetfield sick when they are working on new songs. James and I had closed up his Colorado house to stay in his NorCal place so he could go into HQ with the rest of the band.
James is a little hurt that I’m pushing him away. Even after explaining to him that I don’t want him to get sick. He still curls up with me in bed. He’s been keeping his kisses to any part of my body except my mouth. I’m not going to complain. He’s excellent at kissing body parts. I also think he’s hoping that I’ll get better in time to go to Kirk’s big shindig on Halloween.
“James, I really don’t like to be scared.” I mumble, then cough. It feels like I’m hacking up a lung.
Patting my back, “But Kirk’s parties are really good.” He’s almost whining. “Will you at least consider going?”
I know that this party is a big deal, “I will consider.” More coughing, “If I get over this.” I blow my nose, which is sore and red. I untwist the Hawaiian print dress I’m wearing.
He pulls me into his side, cupping my head, “I’m sorry you don’ feel good.” His fingers feel cool on my forehead. He grabs the digital thermometer and presses it to my forehead. It double beeps. “100.2. Do you want more tea?”
I can only nod as I cough some more. I watch from the sofa as he sets the kettle to boil. I had moved to the living room sofa – for a change of scenery from our bedroom. I slowly sink back into the sofa. My eyes flutter open as I feel his fingers on my forehead. My mug is sitting on the table. I sit up and he hands it to me. It’s the perfect temperature, which means that I’ve been asleep. I chug most of it. It feels good on my throat. It hits my stomach like a ton of bricks. It’s the only thing I have consumed all day. I curl into a ball against him as he takes my mug. He gently urges my head into his lap, tucking the blanket in around me. I close my eyes as he plays with my hair.
It's dark when I wake up. Still on the sofa. I cough hard. Grabbing some tissues I spit out what I’ve hacked up. At least it’s beginning to break up. I hope. I sit up slowly. I can hear James in his studio. He’s putting lyrics to a new tune. I just sit and listen. Damn! It’s going to be a hit! Standing up slowly, I make it to the bathroom. Washing up after, I splash some water on my face. It feels so good that I lean on the counter. I feel his hand on my lower back. “You good?”
“Yeah.” I slowly stand up and lean into him. “Just had to pee.”
He presses his hand to my forehead. Before I can protest, he’s scooped me up and carries me back to our bedroom. Grabbing the thermometer, he presses it to my forehead. “101.3. If this gets any higher, I’m taking you in.”
I can’t argue. I sink back into the pillows. I feel him get off the bed. My eyes close. Then I feel the mattress sink as he sits on it. A cool cloth is pressed to my forehead. Another he presses to the back of my neck. I whimper softly. “Shhh. Just sleep.” I drift away again.
I hear voices. Speaking softly. I feel James’ hand cupping my head.
“Doc, she’s been down for at least a whole day.”
“Temp?”
“101 to 102 consistently.” I can hear the concern in his voice.
“Is she drinking or eating anything?”
“It’s been awhile. I got some tea in her yesterday afternoon.”
I hear a deep sigh. “She needs some electrolytes. Let me set up an IV for her.”
I try to squirm. “Shhh.” His fingers cup my face. “I got you.” I manage to pull his fingers to my neck, leaning into the coolness. The bed sinks on my left side. I wince as the band is tightened around my arm. “Hang on Kira. It’s only for a moment.” Then there’s a stinging in my left arm. I manage to kick out with a leg. “Almost done.” His lips press cooly to my forehead, his fingers play with my hair. The sting eases and there’s a cool sensation running up my arm. The band is removed.
“Ok. I have this one wide open. Keep an eye on this arm. It’ll need to stay pretty straight for this bag to get in her.”
“Got it, Doc.”
“I’ll leave a couple of bags in your fridge. Pull the next bag back to about half.”
“Doc, thanks a million.” The bed shakes gently. I can only guess that they are shaking hands. I whimper and try to curl around him. “Shhh. You’ll feel better soon.” His hand caresses my hair.
“Call me if anything looks wonky. I’m only doing this cause I know you can handle the IV port. You’ve had enough in your life.”
“Thanks again.”
“I’ll see myself out, James.” I hear footsteps. “I’ll check in with you later.”
“Thanks.” James rolls me to his side, draping my left arm over his chest. His fingers make gentle lazy patterns on my arm and shoulder. The darkness reaches up and pulls me under.
It’s pitch black outside when I float awake. I’m flat on my back. James is on my right side, his arm and leg keeping me pinned. I struggle a little to move. “Hey. What’s wrong?”
“Gotta pee” I cough out.
I have never seen him move this fast, he’s standing on my side of the bed, one hand holding my left hand, the other under my right arm pulling me gently to my feet. “Hang on a sec.” He reaches behind me. The IV bag hits my back.
“That’s cold” I flinch slightly.
“Sorry. It’s still attached to you” he gives me a small smile.
I wobble to the bathroom. He stands holding the IV bag while I use the toilet. He did have to help me stand after I cleaned up. He squirts some hand sanitizer on my right hand and works it in. “Faster than washing just the one hand.” I snorfel a smile. He almost carries me back to bed. Tucking me back into the sheets, he rehangs the IV bag. I look up. He’s jerry rigged a mic stand to hold the bag. I laugh softly. “What?”
Pointing with my right hand, “Very creative.”
“I didn’t want to put a hole in the wall” he smiles at me. I wiggle to get comfy. He checks the bag. “I’ll be right back” he kisses my forehead. “Don’t go anywhere.” He pats my stomach as he leaves. I blink and he’s back, a new IV bag in his hands. “Let’s go ahead and change this one out.” Like a trained nurse, he quickly gets the bags changed. He adjusts the flow on the line. I just look at him. “You don’t want to know how many IV ports I’ve yanked out of my own arms.” My fingers gently rub his arm as he sits. “A night nurse in Montreal took pity on me and showed me what to do.”
“That had to be horrid.”
“Honestly, I was terrified.” He gently stretches out next to me. “I still double check the setlist and where I am on stage.” I can see the memories in his eyes.
“You were very lucky that those flames didn’t sear your lungs.”
Nodding, “That would have ended me.” I gently caress his cheek. “The year it took to be able to pick up a guitar again was torture.”
“I’m sure it was.” My fingers linger on his face, “I heard what you were creating earlier. It sounds great!”
He smiles at me, “That was two days ago. But thanks!” He kisses my forehead.
“Two days?”
“Yeah, you’ve been a little out of it” his fingers caress my face. He grabs the digital thermometer. “Look at that! 99.8!”
I smile softly. “I do feel better.” A coughing fit hits me. He just rubs my back.
“Actually, you did cough in your sleep.” He brushes stray hairs from my forehead.
“Have you slept at all?”
“Some. But I’m good. Let’s get you out of the weeds first.” He pulls me to him, making sure that the IV tube isn’t being crushed, and curls an arm around my head. “I’m not going anywhere. Sleep.” I wrap my right arm around his and let sleep pull me back under.
My eyes squint open to a room filled with bright sunlight. The IV port is still in my arm, but the tubing has been removed. I sit up and cough hard. I hear the toilet flush, then water in the bathroom.
“It lives!” James smiles at me. He’s wearing just a pair of boxers. And damn he looks good. Another coughing fit hits me. James slides onto the bed, patting my back. “Doc stopped by this morning. He gave you a shot of B12. That should give you the boost you need to get over the cough.”
“That explains why my ass hurts.”
Nodding, “Yeah, that’s one of those shots that can’t go thru an IV.” He kisses my shoulder, “I want to leave the port in for a bit. I can take them out, but can’t put them in.”
“I understand that.” I squirm to the side of the bed, “I gotta pee again.”
He helps me from the bed to the toilet and then the sink. “Let’s shift you to the family room.” He snakes an arm around me, “Change of scenery.”
“A change of sheets please?”
He snickers a laugh, “You read my mind.” He helps me sit back into the sofa in the family room and covers me with a big fuzzy blanket. “Need anything?” as he hands me the TV remote.
“A Severed Lime please?”
He kisses my forehead. “Be right back.”
I power up the TV and start looking through the guide. His hand comes over my shoulder, “Here. Careful it’s open.” His voice soft.
“Thank you.” I look into his blue eyes, “For taking care of me.” Another coughing fit. This one hurts my chest. His hands gently hold my shoulders and rub my back. I pull his hand from my shoulder to my chest, “It hurts here.” He rubs my chest gently. His hand warm on my skin. And deeper. I cough again. James uses the heel of his other hand to pound on my back. I grab some tissues and spit out the phlegm. It’s green.
“That’s not good.”
“Better out than in” I manage, spitting out more.
“I’ll call Doc again. Get his opinion.” He kisses my hair, “In the mean time, I’ll go change the sheets.”
“Please spray the pillows and mattress with Lysol.”
He kisses my hair again, “Good idea.” He takes my left hand, “I think we’re done with this.” He deftly pulls out the IV port from my arm. Then he holds the spot for a minute waiting for my blood to congeal. “There. All better.” I cough hard. “Well, getting there” he chuffs at me.
I find a movie and start it as another fit hits me. More phlegm comes up. I drop the messy tissues to the floor with the other ones. I curl into the corner of the sofa, tugging the blanket tighter. I blink awake as the movie is ending. Music floats from James’ studio. I cough again, bringing up more phlegm. I chug some of the Severed Lime. The bubbles actually feel good on my sore throat. I start another movie and I recurl into the blanket. It’s dark when I sit up, coughing again.
“Hey,” his hands on my shoulders again. He reaches out and grabs the Severed Lime can, “Here, sip.” I take a couple of sips. “Doc stopped by while you were sleeping. He looked at what you’ve coughed up. He didn’t want to give you an antibiotic shot without knowing if you have any medical allergies.”
Shaking my head, “None that I know of.” I cough again. I take another drink.
“He left the shot, if you’ll let me.” I look into his big blue eyes. He’s concerned. Very concerned. And torn. Being brought up Christian Scientist, medicines were frowned on. But modern medicine saved him when he was so badly burned. I nod at him, holding tissues to my mouth as another cough hits me. Once he knows I’m ok, he goes to the fridge and pulls out the syringe. He picks up the alcohol wipe packet from the counter as he returns. “Doc said the best place for me to jab you is in the ass.” He sits on the sofa. I slowly roll to him, draping myself over his lap. “If you felt better, this would be interesting!” He opens the wipe packet, pulls up the Hawaiian dress I’m wearing and rubs my ass with the wipe, then his fingers grab that cheek and the other stabs. I wince. He pulls the dress back down and rubs the spot, “All done.” I just hang there. “You better shift off my lap, or I might just let my evil thoughts take over” he growls gently into my ear.
“Maybe later” I grin up at him as I push myself back into the corner, another cough hits me.
“My poor little Kira.” He tucks me in, kissing my forehead. He goes into the kitchen. I hear him puttering around in it. I’m still a little too far gone to pay attention. He comes back carrying a bowl, “Here, sip this.” It’s miso.
“That tastes so good.” I drink more. “Thank you.”
He returns to the kitchen and comes back with his own bowl. A much bigger bowl. He puts my feet into his lap and I start another movie.
I don’t remember falling asleep. My feet are still in his lap. Our soup bowls on the coffee table. He’s curled up on his side, several pillows under his head. I gently extract my feet. “You ok?”
“I gotta pee.”
He stands up and helps me stand, “Well you do have about three IV bags of fluids in you.”
As we move toward the bathroom, “I do feel better.” I cough again.
“Yeah. Uh huh.” He gives me a look.
“I do” I protest while using the toilet. He stands behind me while I wash up. I take a good look at my reflection. I grimace.
"What?"
“I need a shower.”
“Not at 2am. C'mon. Back to the sofa with you.”
He sinks into the sofa with me. “You go to bed.” I cough again. “I’ll be fine.”
Pulling my feet back into his lap, “Yes, you will be fine.” He reaches up and tucks the blanket back around me. He takes the remote and starts another movie. He gently rubs my ankles and calves. I slide back into sleep.
The morning sun shines in on my face. I struggle to shift. My feet are still trapped in James’ lap and hands. His warmth feels good on my feet. I watch him sleep. His eyelashes curl against his cheeks hiding his bluer than blue eyes. His lips slightly open under his graying mustache. Oh, the joys that mouth has given me. His fingers curled around my ankles that make such magic on his guitar. The magic they work on me. Inside me. I whimper slightly. And cough. Hard. His hands tighten around my ankles. “I’m ok.” I drop the tissue. “Not as green.”
His eyebrows rise, “That’s good.” I cough again. “Better out than in.” He grins at me, shifting my feet out of his lap. “How about some breakfast?”
“Yes, please.” I look up into his eyes as he stands. “I’m sorry I’ve been such a pain.”
“I’m glad I was able to take care of you.” He kisses the top of my head. “Then maybe a shower.”
“That bad?”
“I have smelled better after a show.”
“Yikes.” I kick out of the blanket. I change the channel to local news. The weather is on. Nothing new. Clouds, fog, spotty rain.
“Ahh. San Fran in late fall” James sighs as he hands me a plate. He sinks into the sofa next to me.
His scrambled eggs are smothered in cheese. There’s sliced tomato and avocado on my plate. “mmmm.”
“Good?”
“Yeth” I say around a mouthful.
He takes the remote and finds the NFL Network. We finish eating while getting the latest updates on the teams. Well, he finishes our breakfast. I could only eat about half of what he’d put on my plate. Once the updates are done, James collects the plates and dumps them in the sink. He comes back, turns off the tv, pulls me to my feet, pulls the blanket off the sofa and unloads about half a can of Lysol where I’ve been sleeping. Then he leads me to our bathroom. Pulling off my dress and dropping his boxers, he pulls me into the shower. I lean against the back wall as he washes my hair, my back, my body - being very tender between my legs. I know he’s horny as hell, but I’m so not horny. It pinches my heart that I can’t be sexy for him right now. The steam from the hot water puts me into a serious coughing fit. James wraps an arm around my waist and holds my head with his other hand. I hack out the biggest chunk of phlegm ever. It’s yellow, green and brown all at once. Using a spray wand, James washes it down the drain. I slowly stand up. “Well, there’s that” I whisper.
“Maybe that’s the core and you’ll get better now” James cups my head and pulls me into his body. He releases me gently, rinses us both off and after turning off the water, wraps me up in a towel. I waddle to the bed and sit. That last hack hurt. James sits behind me and using a towel, dries my hair. I almost fall asleep sitting there. He tugs the clean sheets and blankets down, “In you go.” He pulls the towel from my body and tucks me into bed. I’m asleep before the covers are tucked around me.
The next couple of days, I slowly recover. Still hacking a cough, but not as bad. I start putzing around the house taking care of little things. I still crash out almost every time I sit down.
Knowing that I’m out of the weeds – as he put it - he’s been working a lot lately at HQ. He didn’t get home until about 11pm a few days ago. It’s 10:12pm. I cough again. I had tried his phone but it went directly to voice mail. I figure that he’s doing vocal work. I decided to call the HQ main line. I almost hung up.
“Hello.”
“Hi, this is Kira.”
“Hey! It’s Avi. How you feeling? James told us that you were super sick.”
My eyebrows are in my hairline, “I’m doing ok, thanks for asking. Uhmmm, this is kinda embarrassing, but would you please give James a note to pick up some cough drops?”
“Uhm, sure. But he and Jacob left for the club. I probably won’t see him before you do.”
The club? THE club. “Oh. Ok. Thanks.”
“Do you want me to run some up to you?”
“That’s very kind Avi, but I think I have enough to get through tonight.”
“Well, feel better!”
“Thanks!” I end the call.
Curling up tighter in bed as I cough, a million thoughts are going through my head. There’s only one place that men refer to as The Club. He went to a strip joint. I’m surprisingly not mad at him that he went to a club. I’m more upset that he didn’t let me know. My eyes close.
His warm body is spooned up behind me. My clock shows 3am. Just that he’s back safely is all I care about. I press up against his warmth and drift back to sleep.
“Hey sleepy head.” His voice rumbles in my ear. His big warm hand is slowly rubbing between my shoulder blades.
“That feels really good” I murmur into the pillow.
His lips press against the back of my neck. “You feeling any better?”
“Let me wake up first, then I’ll let you know” I smirk at him. I turn my head looking up at him, “How was the club?” All the color drains from his face. His hands freeze on my body. I pull myself up and sit cross legged in bed. “James, why wouldn’t you tell me?” I’m not shouting. I’m not accusing. It’s more statement than question.
He rolls to his back, his left arm rests on his forehead, his right hand resting against my calf. “I thought you’d get mad.”
I cock a smile at him, “Let me surprise you.” He looks at me. “I really don’t care if you go to strip clubs.” He blinks. “I really don’t. Some of those women are gorgeous.” He blinks again. “Hell, I’d fuk some of those women.” That got his attention. “All I ask is that you let me know. And bring this” I run my hand over his boxers where his erection is growing, “home to me. I’ll be more than happy to take care of it. I just want to know when to expect you home.” I can tell he’s gobsmacked. “What?” I smile at him. “Have I rendered the great wordsmith silent?”
“Kinda.” He sits up, holding my hand with his on his crotch. “You’re serious.”
“Very.” I feel him get harder. “James, there’s nothing wrong with watching them dance. For some, that’s how they are putting themselves through school. Or taking care of sick kids or parents. But this” I gently squeeze him, “comes home to me.” He bowls into me laying me out flat on the bed, his lips kissing my face and neck. I try to push him back, “If I get you sick, Lars is going to kill me!”
With both hands planted on either side of me, he rises up, “Lars is sick. Probably got it when he went to Jessica’s shoot on the beach last week.” He almost drops on to me, planting a toe curling kiss on me. I wrap my arms around his neck. Parting the kiss, “I’ve missed this.” His blue eyes sparkling at me. “I am sorry that I didn’t tell you. It won’t happen again.”
“What won’t happen again?” I ask cheekily.
“I will tell you from now on where I’m going. You’re right. You should know when to expect me home.”
I caress his head from forehead to the nape of his neck, “Thank you.” I twist my head into the nearest pillow and cough.
“Well, that is sounding better.” He grabs the thermometer and presses it to my forehead. It beeps. “Hey look at that! Normal.”
“yay!” I play with his hair, “I could really use a shower.” I sniff his chest, “So could you.”
“What?”
“You smell like cigarettes.” We both sit up, “I don’t mind your cigars, but cigarettes just stink.”
“Noted. I will shower after coming home.”
I grab his boxers, “Maybe I can help you” as I slid off the bed pulling him with me.
I was still a little anxious over the next couple of days about going to Kirk’s Halloween party. I really do hate spooky stuff. Spiders top of the list. Halloween and being scared next. I’m standing in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher when my phone rings. By the ring tone, it’s James. “Hi!”
“Hey. I’ll be home a little early tonight.”
“What’s going on?”
I can hear him snicker, “Kirk is sick.”
“Well damn.”
“Yeah, he’s bummed that he’s gotta cancel the party. Sooo, I’ll be home early tonight.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
I hear him chuckle as he ends the call. Well, this is a curve ball. A wicked idea comes to me. I set up the stereo and put the remote on the landing. I dash upstairs and dig through my things in the closet. There. The little plaid skirt. Don’t know why I’ve kept it. Don’t know why I packed it, but here it is. I find a pair of scissors and cut about 6 inches off the hem. It now barely hides my pussy and my ass cheeks peek out beneath it. I almost run into the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, I’m hairless. And wet. I pull on a pair of black knee high socks. My clunky white sneakers will have to do. Then the skirt. My heavy duty pushup bra is next. My tits are almost hitting my chin. I take a white t-shirt of his and sacrifice it. I cut the neckline super low. Then I twist the hem up and knot it right below my bra showing off my stomach. Running back into the bathroom, I pull my hair up into a super messy bun. I’m putting on bright red lipgloss when I hear the garage door open. My heart is pounding and I’m a sopping wet mess between my legs. I grab a towel and give a wipe as I hear him come in the house.
“I’m home.”
“Hi! Sit on the sofa. I’ll be down in a moment.” I watch him from behind a corner. I grin happily as he sits in the middle of the sofa. I get to the landing and hit play on the stereo remote. His own song – Devil’s Dance - blares to life. He spins and sees me. I chew on my lower lip as I try to move down the stairs in a sultry manner. Hard to do in bulky sneakers. But the look on his face is worth it. He’s almost drooling at the sight of me. When his song gets to the line “I’ve got what you need,” I squat, and quickly spread my knees flashing him with my cleaned and sopping wet core, then snap my knees together. He actually grunts. I slink around the living room trying to dance like a stripper – which I’ve never done before in my life. I finally crawl across the wooden coffee table. I can feel the strip of fabric I called a skirt slide up my rump – which I wiggle slowly as I crawl. Putting my hands on his thighs – which are shaking – I get a couple of inches from his face and in the dirtiest voice I could, sing his own words to him, “Let’s dance.”
He doesn’t just grab me. He tackles me. His mouth crashing into mine. His arms wrap around me as we crash to the floor between the sofa and the coffee table. He shoves the table aside. He’s grabbing at the shirt I’ve tied up and my bra. I’m undoing and tugging off his belt. His hands grab his jeans and about pops off the metal buttons on his 501’s. I help him yank down both his jeans and boxers. He grabs my hips and lifts while I point his dripping cock at my sopping cunt. With one thrust he roars into me balls deep. I cry out. Not in pain. I was so wet the Titanic could have slid into me. The pleasure of his girth filling me made me cry out. He grabs my left wrist and pins it to the ground by my shoulder as he starts thrusting. Hard. The look in his eyes, on his face. Hunger. Wild. Feral. I moan loudly. My legs wrap around his waist, the heels of my sneakers dig into his hips forcing him deeper still into me. Again, my voice cries out in sheer pleasure. He lets go of my wrist to grab my hip again. He’s slamming into me. My hands grabbing his arms pulling him closer to me. His balls slapping my taint. His fingers dig deep into my hips keeping me from moving away. We are both reduced to primal grunts and growls. I feel his strokes getting sloppy. His thumb finds my clit. We both scream in release. Not your normal orgasm vocalization. It was an If the neighbors were any closer, the cops would have been called scream. We are both panting, he slowly lowers his weight onto my body, his hands cupping my head. I kiss his arms, neck, chin, chest.
Then I cough. Hard. We both start laughing. He gently withdraws from me. I reach around to find the ruined t-shirt and shove it between my legs, which makes him give me a look. “I’m leaking on the carpet!” I manage to squeak out. Still laughing, he tucks the fabric under me. He rests his head between my well lifted boobs as he never did get the bra off.
“I’ll never be able to play that song live again!” he pants out. My laughter just redoubles. “I’ll never be able to explain to Lars why not!” he laughs into my chest. My fingers just play in his hair.
We lay there a tangle of arms, legs and clothes for a bit recovering. I push the hair from his sweat covered brow, “Now tell me, wasn’t this better than a spooky Halloween party?”
His face still buried in my boobs, “It’s pretty close!”
I originally posted this a while ago, but I think I screwed it up. So, here's a re-write that has become the prologue to several other fics that are in the wings. I hope you enjoy it!!
Warnings: Angst, Sex Suggested
Why did I ever fall for this man?! Is he talented? Yes. Is he good looking? Damn yes. Is he great in bed? Fuck yes. Is he being a dick? All holy hells yes. Has been since he got home from the road. Am I regretting moving to his place in Colorado? Right now. Yes. His last dig at me has me packing my carry on and putting my computer into my backpack while wiping away the tears I swore I wouldn’t shed. I can walk away from everything I can’t fit into these two bags. I looked over at the smart home device for the time. It’s 3pm. The notification bar was flashing yellow. “Computer, what’s the notification?” The robotic voice responds, “For the Vail Colorado area, the National Weather Service has issued the following weather warning. A severe winter storm is forecast to begin snowing heavily at 2pm local time with heavy snow levels accumulating to 3 to 4 feet, drifting 6 to 8 feet.” The rest of the warning went unheard as I grabbed my two bags, the note I’d written, and ran to the front door. I dropped the bags on the floor, still clutching the note, as I saw my plans end. Opening the front door I slowly walk outside into the dark, the snow had already been falling. Big fat fluffy flakes so thick I could barely see the light at the end of the driveway. Looking over to the garage door, “No, no no no, no!” The drift was already a good 2 feet tall. For a split second I thought about taking his damned truck. It would easily clear that drift.
“What the hell are you doing?” James yelled from the open front door, looking between me and the bags on the floor.
Taking one last glance at the pile of snow blocking the garage door, I turn back to the house, “Well, I was going to leave you.” I slapped my note into his chest. Pushing past him, I collected my bags and slowly made my way back to the room that I had claimed as my own a week before.
“What the fuck!?” James yelled just before slamming the front door closed.
I kept walking dejectedly. Making it back to the room, I tossed the backpack onto the bed and just stood there clutching the carry on. I could hear James come storming down the stairs. “What the fuck? You are leaving me?” I turned. His usually glacier blue eyes now a threatening dark blue filled with rage.
“Well, mother nature said no” as I motioned to the now very dark window. “Not tonight anyway.”
I heard the paper flutter to the floor. “Why?” The pain in his voice was natural, not forced. It pinched my heart.
I turned to him but couldn’t look him in the eye. “What was the one thing I asked of you when we started dating?” He just stood there. Then I did look at his face. He was obviously thinking. “I asked you to not compare me to the exes.” He nodded slowly. “I am not them and the exes are not me” I raged at him. The rage fading from his eyes. “But ever since you got home from the tour, you have been … well …”
“A dick” he finished my sentence.
“Yes” I snapped. I put the carryon I was still holding on the bed. “You have done nothing but compare me to them for months.” I turned back to him, “The final straw was when you started counting your cash.” His eyebrows knitted together. “Every night before you go to bed, you count the cash in your pocket, put it in your wallet which you put on your nightstand. Then in the morning after you shower and get dressed, you count it again.” His fingers twitched as he processed what I said. “I don’t need your money.” He just looked at me. “I have my own career and my own bank account.” He continued to stare at me. “I could have taken your damned $90 thousand dollar truck and left you the Shelby that I paid $125 thousand for.” He cocked his head but didn’t ask. I answered anyway. “Taking your truck I would have gotten pulled over by your state trooper friends in a heartbeat. That would be a felony. And you would have no say if I got arrested or not.” I turned away from him shaking slightly. “Right now, you are not worth a felony on my record.” I moved to the desk and sank into the chair.
He looked around the room. The realization hit him, “When did your stuff get down here?”
I huffed a smile, “James, I moved down here a week ago.” He looked at me. “You didn’t notice that I wasn’t sleeping in your bed?”
His hands kinda flapped uselessly, “I thought you were coming to bed after me and getting up before…”
“Thanks for noticing” I said sorta like Eeyore.
His eyebrows knitted together again, “But the sheets got changed.”
“Yes they did” I just looked up at him.
“And the kitchen … the dishes … the laundry …”
“The grocery shopping, collecting the mail, dusting” I looked down at my hands.
“Why?”
“Who else was gonna do it?” I dug back at him. “It’s not like you’d do any of those things.” He huffed a moment but didn’t say anything. “I wanted to hire a cleaning team, but you went almost mental on me about that.”
“I don’t want someone just rummaging through my shit” he flared.
“I understand that” I tried to stay calm. “But there are teams that specialize in people of your status. Plus” I pointed to the monitors on the desk, “I have a job! One that I enjoy!” my temper trying to flare. I leaned my elbows on the desk rubbing my eyes.
He was quiet for a minute. “Look, this storm is going to blow for a couple of days” he said trying to stay calm. “Let’s get some sleep.” I just nodded. He stepped backwards out of the room collecting the note from the floor, “We can talk in the morning.” He softly closed the door.
I looked at the closed door. His cologne lingered. More than just his cologne. Him. The tears started to fall. I let them. Sniffling, I decided to take a soak in the tub. Starting the water, I dumped in some salts from the cupboard, then sank into the hot water. I mulled over the past 8 months. The good, the bad. More tears. When the water turned cool, I got out, drained the tub and climbed into the bed. The heat from the soak worked a charm and I was asleep in minutes.
I woke up still wrapped in the towel from the tub soak. I slipped out of the bed, pulling on jammies and a robe. I opened the bedroom door. I could hear that James was in his studio. It was a super crunchy riff floating through the house. Smiling to myself, I went into the kitchen. Pulling out what I needed to make a breakfast sandwich, I looked at the items on the counter. It’s just as easy to make three as just one. I left two on a plate in the fridge covered with a paper towel, with “Zap for 30 seconds” written on it. I left another note on the counter, “Breakfast in fridge.” Collecting my sandwich, a granola bar and a couple cans of Severed Lime from the fridge, I returned to my room. Pulling my computer out of my backpack, I logged into work.
My chat window opened:
Boss: You make the flight?
Me: No. Got snowed in.
Boss: You ok?
Me: Meh
Boss: Wanna talk?
Me: Not right now.
Me: I’m going Marinas Trench. I need to get the last three chapters done. They’re late.
Boss: Understood. Don’t worry about being late. I’ll put in a good word for ya!
Me: Thanks.
I clicked on the Out of Office option. Then opened the files I needed from the New York servers and ate my sandwich waiting for the computers to synch. Once done, I launched into where I’d left off.
I had no idea how long I’d been working until there was a soft knock on the door. “Hey?” came James’ voice.
I turned to the door, “Yeah?”
“May I come in?”
Stretching, “Yeah.”
James came in and leaned against the wall. “You sleep ok?”
Uncurling my legs from the chair, “Yes, thank you.” Looking over at him. “You?”
“Yeah, ok” he said. He looked like shit.
I cocked a smile at him, “Liar.”
He huffed a laugh, “I don’t think I slept at all.” He scrubbed his fingers through his silvered hair. “Thanks for the breakfast sandwiches.”
I nodded, “You’re welcome.” He kept trying to look at my computer monitors. “What are you doing?”
“I guess I don’t know exactly what your job is.”
Patting the end of the bed, “Sit” I said. He sat and leaned forward. “I’m an editor.” I rotated back to face the monitors. “This screen is the book I’m working on” pointing to the monitor on the right. “This screen” motioning to the one on my left, “are my notes. The laptop in the middle just keeps me awake.” I paused the cheesy disaster movie.
“Why the notes?” his curiosity was genuine.
“Well .. here” I pointed to a block of text highlighted on the right screen. “The author has brought in a new character that has no backstory. If this character was just in this paragraph it wouldn’t matter, but it shows up several more times.” Pointing to the text on the left monitor with matching highlighting, “These are my notes back to the author asking about a backstory for this character.”
James shifted to my left so see the screen. “And how many notes does this author have from you?”
“On this book” I looked to the page count in the lower left corner of the window, “92.”
“Really?” he seemed shocked.
Stretching out my back, “Yeah, this guy tends to get lost in his own words. So, I have to try to get him back out of the woods.” I turned back towards James. “You have never asked about my job before. Why now?”
He sat back and looked at me. “Because your note is correct.” He rubbed his hands nervously on his thighs, “I haven’t taken any interest in you … outside of the bedroom.”
I heaved a sigh, “I probably should have edited my own writing.”
“No” his eyes popped up to my face. “No. You were right. You were probably pissed as hell when you wrote that note.” He ran his hands through his hair – which he did when he was nervous. “But every word was true. I have treated you like a whore. I have compared you to the exes. I have not discovered you … about you.” His shoulders slumped some. “I am sorry.”
That hit my heart. Hard. I rested my fingers on his knees. “James. I can accept your apology.” His glacier blue eyes found mine. “I can see that you mean it.” Those gloriously blue pools now filled with doubt. “But you will have to work on the forgiveness.” I withdrew my fingers from his knees slowly.
Nodding, “I completely understand.” His smile slightly lopsided. “Will you please give me the chance to earn that forgiveness?”
I watched him a moment. Then, smiling back at him, “Yes” I said softly. His eyes brightened along with his smile as he stood. “By the way” I looked up at him – damn but he’s tall. “I really liked that crunch you had going this morning. It sounded amazing!”
Incredibly, his eyes lit up even more, “You really liked that?”
“Yes” I smiled up at him.
“Thanks.” He fidgeted. “Uhmm, what would you like for dinner?”
“What time is it?” I asked looking at my computer screen.
“It’s like 3pm. But since you made breakfast, I thought I’d make dinner.”
Nodding at him, “I will leave that to the chef.”
Nodding as he moved towards the door, “You like your steak …?”
Smiling at him, “Medium Rare.” He closed the door with a grin. My head was laughing Of course it would be steak! My laptop pinged.
Boss: Surface to Marianas Trench…. (I love my boss!)
Me: evening.
Boss: How’s it going?
Me: Half way through last chapter.
Boss: And the other thing…..?
Me: Perhaps there is a chance here.
Boss: ????
Me: He just invited me to dinner.
Boss: I thought it was snowing there still.
I took a picture out the window of the thickly falling snow and attached it to the chat.
Boss: So?
Me: He’s making me a steak.
Boss: Ahh. Well, then you need to go get ready!
Me: Right after I finish this chapter. Then I’m all caught up on this book.
Boss: Fine.
Boss: Hope it goes well!
Me: Thanks!
I finished the last chapter fairly quickly since it was not a complete chapter. Saving both files to the servers and sending the links to the author – with the boss cc’d on that email – I closed down my computer. Standing up and stretching, I moved to the bathroom. I decided to take a shower and wash my hair. If James was going to put in the effort to change, so could I. No more being a slob. I sat on the bed drying my hair when there was a tap on the door. I popped up and grabbed the robe. “Yes?” No answer. I opened the door. There hanging on the light fixture in the hallway was a garment bag. A postit note stuck to it. Dinner at 6pm. Smiling, I collected the bag and closed the door. Laying the bag on the bed I opened it. I only got about 6 inches open when I gasped. Inside was a dark green velvet gown with beaded trim around the scoop neckline. It was the dress I’d told him about. I’d even made him watch the movie. James had had it made. He’d threatened to have it made for me to wear to the next awards show. But I never thought he’d do it. That was just a month or so after we’d started dating. I looked at the clock. 5pm. I had time. I went back into the bathroom and did some tidying up. Did my makeup and pinned up the hair. I knew that he loved my long hair, but this gown … the hair had to be up. Going back to the bed, I pulled the gown from the bag. I slipped into it. With the plunging back to just above my ass, I was completely commando beneath it. I went to move the garment bag and it felt heavy. Patting it down, I discovered a pair of heels. They glittered with the same rhinestones as the trim. Just as I slipped them on, there was a single tap at the door. I opened the door. The hallway was empty. But there was a pink post it note on the floor. Squatting down – if I’d bent over the gown would have slipped off me – I picked it up. There was a doodle on it. I couldn’t figure it out. But looking up the hallway was another post it. Another doodle. As I walked to the stairs, there were more postit notes. Each with a doodle. I climbed the stairs and turned into the living room. There stood James. In his Brioni tux. The sight took my breath. Damn! He looked good! And he was holding another postit note, a crooked smile on his face. He held it out to me. The doodle on this one was a rose.
“Oh!” I held out the ones I’d collected, “These are rose petals!”
Blushing, “Yeah, I couldn’t go get a real rose, so I improvised.”
I gently collected the one he held, “It’s lovely.” I looked up into his eyes, “Thank you.”
James held out his hand to me – which I took – and he slowly spun me. “I should have given this to you ages ago.” He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed it. “You look stunning.” I just blushed. James tucked my hand into his elbow and gently led me down the hallway away from the kitchen and into the formal dining room. He’d set the table. There were candles on it and two place settings. He pulled out the chair for me and scooched it in when I sat. “The staff seems to have not reported to work this evening, so I will have to substitute” he said in a really bad French accent. I giggled. His eyes lit up. “I shall return madam.” I giggled even more. James disappeared into the kitchen. I put the pile of post it note petals on the table. He returned with two plates. Each bore a steak, a pile of green beans and a large slice of bread smothered in butter. I smiled. He was trying. I cut into the steak and took a bite.
“How is it?” James asked.
Swallowing, “Perfection” I said. He dug into his own. I took a bite of the green beans. A couple were still pretty frosty. I didn’t say a word, but just smiled. The bread was a garlic sourdough that I loved. The butter was a bit much, but again, I wasn’t going to complain. James had obviously put some thought into making dinner and I wasn’t going to ruin it. I’d had worse meals.
“The weather is forecasting that this snow will last another 48 hours or so” James said.
The weather. A safe place to start. “I haven’t listened to the weather or news today.”
“Did you get your book done?” James leaned towards me.
“I did.”
“How many do you edit?” his blue eyes clear and piercing.
“Uhm. I have about 20 items in the wings to work on.” I took a sip of the Squeezed to Death Orange in my glass. He’d used champagne flutes for the sparkling water.
“Why so many?” James looked at me with raised eyebrows.
“Some are just articles.” I put my fork down, “It all depends on release dates. The one I worked on today is supposed to release after the New Year. The others have release dates after that one.”
“It has nothing to do with whom the author is?”
Pushing my plate away and leaning on the table, “Sometimes. All depends on the author and release dates.” I looked at him. He was genuinely interested. “If it’s big wig author and the release date is close, then that file gets bumped to the top of the pile.”
“Who is the biggest author you have edited?” His smile was slightly crooked.
“I don’t get the Mitchell’s or the King’s” I grinned.
“Why not?”
“My boss says that I’m too brutal with my notes” I slow blinked him.
James sat up. “Yeah, you can be.” He used his napkin on his lips. “But perhaps they need those brutal notes.” He smiled at me. “As a recipient, I can attest that it kicked my ass into changing how I think.” He held out a hand to me. I laid my fingers into it. “And I thank you.” I didn’t know what to say. He simply laid his other hand over my fingers and smiled at me. Then he popped up, “Dessert” he said collecting our plates. I squirmed in my seat. My thoughts ranging all over the place. He had totally messed me up. Again. Just like he had when we’d met. He returned with two small plates. Piled creatively on each were four sandwich cookies held in place with cake frosting and topped with whipped cream. He set them down with great flourish, “Tah dah!”
Trying my best to not snort out a laugh, “I’m sure that the patisserie chef labored all day to create these delicacies.” James did snort out a laugh. Which made me burst out in laughter. I picked up one of the cookies and happily munched it. James retook his seat and tucked into his plate. “Seriously, these turned out pretty good” I said licking whipped cream from my fingers.
“The frosting isn’t too much?” James asked seriously.
“No. It’s just the right amount” I said scooping the last bit up on my finger.
James grabbed my hand and gently sucked the frosting from my finger. I didn’t retract my hand but did go a little stiff. He kissed the back of my hand before pushing it back tenderly towards my body, smiling at me. “I’m sorry” he said kindly. “Just a little too soon.”
Looking down at my now empty dessert plate, “Maybe not” I said softly. I knew he couldn’t see it, but my thighs squeezed together tightly.
“Perhaps I should escort the lady back to her room” he said looking down at his plate, “before I make a compete fool of myself. Again.” He smiled at me as he stood, offering me his hand.
I took his offered hand, collected the postit notes and stood. He tenderly tucked my hand into his elbow and walked me back to the room I’d claimed as mine. I turned at the door, “That was lovely James.” I again slow blinked him, “Thank you.” I wiggled his bow tie, then let my hand rest on his chest, “You look very handsome in this suit.”
He gently cupped my face and kissed my forehead. “Thank you” he said softly. His hands gently ran down my shoulders then arms to my hands, “I can’t wait to see you in this gown again.” He lifted both my hands to his lips and kissed them. “Good night.” He took several steps backwards before turning. I turned and opened the bedroom door. I put the post it rose petals on the desk. I kicked off the heels and then shrugged and let the gown slip off. I stood there naked. My desires wanted to race up to his room and let him have his way with me. My integrity said no. My curiosity wanted to know what James would do next. Hanging the gown up, I decided another soak was in order. I unpacked my waterproof vibrator on the way into the bathroom.
I was sound asleep. I felt his hand on my shoulder, “Kira” he said softly. He shook me slightly, “Kira, wake up.” I opened my eyes to find James standing by the bed holding my robe. “There’s something I want to show you.” I fumbled out of the bed. James helped me into the robe and then tucked me into his side, his left arm draping from my right shoulder down to my waist on the left side. Wearing a huge coat and scarf, he guided me to the big sliding doors to the upper patio. “Here, put these on.” He guided my feet into a pair of fuzzy boots, then put on his own mukluks. He opened the door and led me outside. It was bitterly cold, trying to suck the air from my lungs. James lifted the collar of the robe to cover my mouth, “Here this will help.” It did make breathing easier. I looked up and he had the scarf wrapped around his own mouth. He opened his coat and his arms gently held my back close to his chest. Then he pointed. I followed his finger.
The clouds had parted and the sky was filled with stars. The landscape was a blanket of white snow as far as I could see. The bitterly cold temperatures had crystalized the top of the snow. The moon was rising. It was reflecting on the frozen crystals making them glitter. It looked like diamonds had been scattered over the ground. “Here it comes!” he whispered excitedly into my ear, his breath warming my ear and neck. I shivered. My nipples hardened painfully. Then the Aurora flared into life. An undulating ribbon of greens, blues and purples danced into the sky. I gasped. The frozen snow below reflected the colors of the Aurora. James wrapped his arms around me, one around my shoulders the other around my waist. I leaned back into his warmth watching the magic of nature unfold in front of me. I have no idea how long we stood there speechless at the beauty. As quickly as it started, it ended. “Wow” was all James said.
I leaned back into him, looking up at his chin, “Thank you for waking me.” He hugged me tighter. “That was stunning.”
His hands patted my body, “I am glad I shared it with you.” He nodded towards the distant pass “And here comes the next round of snow.” The clouds looked black and nasty in the now darkened sky since the Aurora had faded.
James kissed the top of my head. “Now, you are shivering. Let’s get back inside.” He rotated us, his arms still wrapped around me. We walked – a little awkwardly – back into the house, closing the big glass door behind him. We both kicked off our boots. He backed us into the sofa, pulling me down into his lap. He reached over and pulled up a blanket. He wrapped it around us. I curled up into his arms shivering, my head resting on his chest. His fingers gently stroked my hair. Sleep reached up and grabbed me.
I woke up on the sofa with the blankets tucked in around me still wrapped up in my robe. I could hear James in the kitchen. I sat up. “Morning sleepy head!” he chimed cheerily. “Coffee?” All I could do was nod. He brought over my favorite mug filled with coffee. I took a sip. It was super sweet. “Too much sugar?” I nodded. He went to pull the mug from my hands but I wouldn’t let it go.
Instead I took a couple of huge slugs from it, “Now, just put more coffee into it and it will be fine.” James went to the kitchen and grabbed the coffee pot bringing it back to me. He filled my mug. I swirled the mug and took a drink. Smiling, “Yum” I beamed. I looked out the window. More snow had fallen over night. The sky was still filled with grey snow clouds, but not snowing. At the moment.
James collected his mug and sank into the sofa with me. He flipped on the TV and tuned in the local news. There were the stories about roofs collapsing under the weight of the snow, power lines down, cars sliding off the roads – one accident ending in a death. “I’m glad you were smart enough to not drive that night” James whispered to me.
“Me too.”
I looked into his eyes. The passion I saw there made my knees weak. I reached up and wrapped my fingers around his head, pulling him to me. I kissed him gently. His eyes widened. He cupped my head and kissed me back just as tenderly. “So how are we going to spend the next day or so?” I asked teasingly.
James tightened his arm around my waist pinning me to his body, “I can think of a way” he rubbed his hands on my hips, “or two.” He gently pushed me back, “Only if you want to.”
I could tell that although his voice was joking, his eyes said that he’d changed. I was no longer just a fuck buddy. I was a woman that he wanted to spend time with. In more ways than one.
“I’d like that” I purred. “Just remember, you are still working on my forgiveness.”
He showered kisses all over my face, slowly pulling me towards his bedroom, “I know a way to start working on that” he growls softly at me.
I just smiled and willingly let him lead me.
On man! I can see how this can become addictive!!! I hope y’all like this one!!!
Warnings: Smut, Unprotected sex, slight degrading and confrontation, NSFW
You are very happy in your job. You’d been there for several years. Your boss, James, is a good looking – hell – handsome man. Standing 6’1” with silvered short cut hair, horseshoe mustache, heavily tattooed, he could be an imposing figure. Until he smiled. It was always bright and his bluer than blue eyes would sparkle. Both of you had been through some tough times. His divorce. Your long term relationship ending. Having to move the company office due to water damage.
Then came the contract that on the surface looked to be a dream deal. You, James and his business partner Chad, have spent numerous late nights in the conference room going over every word in the contract. Finally, the day the customer was to come into the office to sign the deal arrived. James had promised everyone that should this deal get signed, he was taking everyone out to dinner. Studying your closet, you select the lacey purple dress. Since it was July, the short skirt would be acceptable. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you hope that James likes it too. Quickly collecting your work things you hurry to get to the office. You end up parking your car next to the huge black tuck that belongs to James. You collect your things, get out of the car, lock it and get to your desk just inside the front door. Your computer is just finishing powering up when you hear James walk up behind you.
“Hey, do you think this paragraph is really correct?” he sets down the stack of papers on your desk, pointing to the words in question, his other large hand resting gently between your exposed shoulder blades. You really have to concentrate on the words and not the feeling of his hand on your back. Pulling up the document on your computer you get to the paragraph in question. You do a quick read through and make some edits.
“Does this work better?”
James flips the papers over grabs a pen and scribbles some changes. You quickly make them. He leans over you again to read the paragraph. His cologne is just enough to be alluring. Looking sideways at him, his lips curl up into a radiant smile.
“That’s it!”
Hitting the print icon, “It’s on the printer!”
He pats your back and leaves your desk area “I’ll go get it!”
You watch James go down the hallway. You can’t help yourself. He’s wearing the black jeans that just fit his ass perfectly. The cowboy boots are perfect. A white button down shirt with the rolled up sleeves exposing his tattooed forearms. Your heart flutters.
The front door flies open and in walks the customer.
“Mr. Mancini, welcome to ….”
Mr Mancini almost throws his phone at you. “You need to fix my travel!” You take a step back as his face is filled with rage. “I hate that airline! And where is my coffee! I told you to have my coffee waiting!”
You start out calmly, “Mr Mancini, I didn’t do your travel, but I will see what I can do …”
“You will fix it! And get my coffee now!” He’s yelling at you full volume. In all your years of working, no one has yelled in a rage at you. “I said now!” Mr Mancini manages to land a backhanded swipe across your left check.
It sends you stumbling into the short file cabinet behind your desk where you collapse to the ground. Your head reeling. From down the hallway you hear Chad yelling and a roar that can only come from James. Chad is pushing the customer back. James leaps the countertop of your desk to plant one foot on either side of you, hugging you with his lower legs.
“Chad if you want this contract, it’s yours. But I want nothing to do with that man.” The tone in James’ voice is one you’ve never heard him use before. Low. Growl. Dangerous. Leaning down, James tenderly puts his hands on your shoulders making you jump slightly. “Hey” His voice now a gentle rumble next to your ear. “Can you stand up for me?” You are shaking to your core and can’t move. Gently lifting you, James collects you into his arms and bulldozes his way out the front door, leaving the shouting voices behind.
Taking you to his truck, he balances you on his knee while he opens the passenger door. He hoists you into the passenger seat and secures the seatbelt. Making sure that you are completely inside, he closes your door. Moments later he’s in the driver’s seat and the truck roars to life.
You are totally numb. He tenderly grasps your left wrist, “Hey” his voice a gentle rumble, “stay with me.”
Your eyes lock onto his tattooed hand. The warmth of his fingers are slowly warming your cold arm. “What did I do wrong?” comes out in a squeak.
His fingers gently squeeze, “Nothing. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”
The tears start to fall. You can’t stop them. You’re afraid to move. Moving would let the dam break.
His voice a comfort, “I’m taking you to my place. You don’t need to be alone right now.” The truck makes a right turn, “Don’t worry. I got you.” It seems like moments later the truck pulls into his driveway. He jumps out and pops open your door. Undoing your seat belt, James scoops you out of the big vehicle, kicks that door closed and carries you inside. He kicks off his boots just inside the garage door.
You barely notice where you are. You are only acutely aware of being in James’ arms. The warmth he radiates. The rumble of his voice. The hints of clean cotton shirt, his cologne and cigar from his neck as you rest your head on his shoulder.
He sinks into the sofa, which puts you squarely in his lap. He gingerly brushes a stray bit of hair from your face. “You are safe now.” That simple declaration opens the flood gates. Your sobs are uncontrollable. James just wraps you up in his arms securely. “Let it out.” He tenderly tucks you closer to him, “It’s ok” he coos into your hair. He gently strokes your hair. Your sobs slowly ease to hiccupping, then to sniffles. The shoulder of his shirt now soaking wet.
James, holding you even tighter to his chest, leans over to the sofa table, collects the tissue box, sits back and hands you several. Turning your head away, you blow your nose. He gently wipes away the tear streaks down your cheeks with his thumbs. His fingers gently lift your chin, “Let me see.” His blue eyes filled with concern. You let him turn your head. His fingers gently touch your cheek. Your face still being tender from being slapped, you flinch slightly. He cups your head in both his hands and pulls you closer, “No bruise.” His lips press tenderly to your forehead.
You pull back, blinking slowly, looking into his big blue eyes seeing the concern shift to – well – something more. The denied tension inside you bubbles up flushing all other feelings away. You take a shuddering shallow breath as he leans in closer, his eyes locked on yours. You meet his lips.
A silent explosion happens between the two of you. You both feed from the other. His hand cups your head and his other arm wraps around you holding you close to his chest. Your arms wrap around his shoulders and neck. You are both panting when the kiss slowly breaks.
Almost in a whisper, “HR isn’t going to like this.”
A smirk spreads across his face, “I can fix that.” He kisses you again, “You’re fired.” A longer kiss.
“Ok.” You relax into his arms.
He shifts you off his lap forcing your legs to pop up. “Where are my shoes?”
His eyebrows scrunch up, “Maybe in the truck.” He gently shifts your legs so he can stand. Holding out his hands to you, you stand. James gently pulls you toward him. His fingers softly caress your arms, up over your shoulders, down your back – slowly unzipping your dress at the same time. A shiver runs through your body. You rest your hands on his waist. At the end of the zipper, James fingers start working up your back, slowly pulling your dress open. He pauses for just a moment when he expertly unhooks your bra. His fingers pull both clothing articles off your shoulders. They puddle around your bare feet. Leaving you standing in front of this imposing man naked – save for the lacey purple thong. Locking your eyes to his, you hook your thumbs into the waistband.
James’ hands quickly covers your, “I’ll get to that” his lips silence yours “In a moment.”
Your hands ghost up James arms. His large hands rest on your naked waist. Your fingers trace their way to the buttons on James’ shirt. You undo the top button. James’ fingers are making lazy circles on your hips. The second button is undone. You pull the fabric open and kiss the bit of his chest newly exposed. He inhales sharply. Another button undone. Another kiss to his chest. Another hitched breath. Reaching behind him, you untuck his shirt from his jeans. James grabs his shirt and yanks it open, the remaining buttons pop off in all directions. You run your hands up his body to his shoulders pushing the ruined fabric from his body where it joins your dress on the ground.
You take a half step back, but James’ arms pull you back into his body. His lips crash into yours. Your arms wrap around his now bare back. Your palms plant on his skin pulling him closer to you. You can feel his erection pressing against his jeans. His chest hairs gently rub against your very erect nipples. Your loins flutter in response as a whimper escapes you.
Not breaking the kiss, James lifts you and carries you from the living room to his bedroom. Kneeling up onto the bed, he lays you out under him. His lips not breaking from yours.
Finally pulling away from your mouth, James kneels up. His eyes drinking in your body. His hands exploring your curves. “You are beautiful” he breathes.
Reaching up, you undo his belt buckle and pull the leather from his pants and toss it aside. The belt buckle clatters on the tile flooring. James reaches to undo his jeans, but you gently push his hands away. Smiling down at you, James lets you have your way.
Running your hands down his hips to his thighs, you feel his body respond to your hands. James sighs deeply. Slowly your hands move to the front of James’ thighs just above his knees and slowly up. Your fingers find his erection held in check by the fabric of his jeans. Firm. Strong. Throbbing. You palm slowly up his cock. James sucks in a sharp breath.
Pushing your arms to the side, he leans over you. Planting his hands on either side of your body, kissing you. He slowly lowers his body over yours. You whimper. “Just wait” he smiles at you. “You can have that soon enough.” His kisses slowly move down your neck to your chest. “You first” he whispers into your ear. You whimper as your pinned hips try to buck up into his. He moves slowly down your body. Kissing. Nibbling. Sucking. Licking. Making you moan and whimper as he leaves his love marks on your flesh.
He positions himself on his stomach between your legs. His eyes lock on yours, his grin deliciously evil. You wiggle your hips silently begging. Resting on his elbows, his hands cup your butt and lift your hips to his mouth. His gaze shifts from your eyes to look hungarily at your sopping wet thong. He inhales deeply about half an inch from you making you whimper in anticipation.
Flipping your legs over his shoulders frees his hands. He pulls his knife from his back pocket. Your eyes open wider at the blade when he snaps it open.
“I have wondered if the carpet matches the drapes” he chuckles. The sharp blade slices the waistband easily of your thong. James closes the blade and tosses the blade in the general direction his belt went. Your hands fly to cover your crotch as James literally sucks the fabric from your body. He groans in ectasy as he savors your essence from the fabric. He spits the destroyed garment to the side. Opening his eyes, he sees your hands covering your privates. He looks curiously up at you. Seeing the twinkle in your eyes, he smiles and kisses your knuckles, “Please?"”
Grinning and wiggling a little, “What do you think?” biting your lower lip at him.
Gently licking your knuckles, “They match” he chuckles.
Smiling, you move your hands, “Ta dah!”
His eyes open wide, “Ahhh! Bare floors!” Kissing your pubic bone, “Why?” His fingers squeeze your ass cheeks.
Letting your fingers caress his face, “Personal preference. I just don’t like hair … there.”
James sends his tongue in a long slow lick from your taint to your clit making your hips thrust up into his face, pulling a long groan from you. Licking his lips, his blues eyes catch yours, “Yeah. Hair would just get in the way.” He lowers his mouth back down and his tongue starts exploring your sex. His licks, swirls, suckings and tender nibbles render you unable to form a coherent word.
As the tension in you builds, he lowers your hips to the bed, wrapping his arms under your legs up over your thighs so that his hands grasp your hips, locking you in place. The sudden inability to move intensifies the sensations that James is doing to your nether regions. A few expert licks from James’ tongue sends you over the edge. Your body tries to buck against the restraint James’ hands have your body. Your vision blurs and the moan becomes a scream of release. His tongue keeps working your clit, overstimulating you to the point where you can longer move. Panting. Barely able to move. Vision blurred. You are only aware of his mouth on your cunt.
James slowly pulls away from your overstimulated clit. He presses feather soft kisses on your inner thighs. Slowly he releases his hold on your hips. You are weak from release. James slowly works his way up your body leaving a blazing trail of kisses, licks, nibbles and hickies on your flesh. It feels like he is reviving your body with the intensity of his lips.
Your eyes flutter open to find his bright blue eyes directly in front of you. Your arms don’t want to respond, so you crunch up and lock your lips to his. James kisses you back with a passion that reaches deep into you – to your very soul. His eyes fill with everything his kiss gives to you. Passion. Desire. Wants. Needs. Lust. You two feed off that kiss.
Recovering, you realize that he has shed his jeans. His naked body is pressed against yours. His erection is twitching at your dripping opening. Your fingers find his face, tracing his eyebrows, down his nose, his mustache. His lips kiss your fingertips, gently sucking on the pads of your fingers. Reaching between your bodies he teases your clit with dripping end of his cock leaving you moaning and wiggling under his torturous teasings. The only words you can barely utter “James, please.”
James grins at you and slowly pushes the head into your soaked pussy. The size slowly filling you makes you suck in a deep breath, your eyes flaring wide.
“Shh, shh” James coos at you as he pauses. “Breath” he whispers.
It takes you a few moments to adjust to the feeling of him stretching deep inside you. Once the discomfort dissipates, you rock your hips up and hook a leg around his waist, your heel digging into his ass forcing him still deeper into you. This action makes you both inhale deeply.
James plants both his hands above your shoulders. His knees nudge up tight against your hips, forcing him still deeper into you. He lowers his face down to the crook of your neck, his panting breath warm on your flesh. You can tell he’s holding back. Waiting on you. Wrapping your arms around him, you turn your face to his ear right by your lips. Kissing his ear, you whisper, “yes.”
James’ groan reverberates through your body as he slowly starts moving his hips. His shaft gets impossibly thicker, stretching and filling you as never before. At first, James’ movements are slow. You can feel every vein in his cock, the shape of the head as he slowly moves in and out of your tight hole. His voice growls in your ear “You are so tight.” He grunts as his cock drives slowly into you “So wet.”
Your fingers dig into his back, clutching his neck. You tighten your leg around his waist “All for you” as he dives deeper. He growls louder and sinks his teeth into your shoulder.
Arching your back, you cry out in both ectasy and pain. You use all your strength to hold his head close to your neck. Jame’s teeth tighten on your shoulder. He keeps a steady rhythm pounding his hips against yours. The pressure building in you. The room is filled with the sounds of wet flesh slapping wet flesh as he pounds away in you. The obscene sound of his cock sliding in and out of your pussy. Both of you are reduced to primal grunts and groans. You rake your nails down his back. Letting go of your shoulder, he lifts his head roaring, his hips slamming even harder into you. You reach down and claw his ass. He cries out again. His thrusts slamming you into his arms above your shoulders, holding you for his pounding pleasure.
The orgasms crash into you both at the same time. The gummy walls of your cunt squeeze his cock intensely as his cum fills you. James manages a few jagged thrusts before calming and slowly lowering his weight on to your body. His softening cock slides from within you. You can feel the warm mix of your climaxes seeping out.
His hands caress you. Starting with your hair. Slowly touching your face. His fingers gently closing your eyelids. “Just feel” he whispers into your ear. His fingers glide gently over your neck, over your shoulder. As they move over your bicep, sleep grabs hold and pulls you under.
A gentle rumble in your ribs pulls you back to wakefulness. Your left arm is over your head, your right hand is draped over James left arm – which is wrapped around your ribs. He is sound asleep, his face burrowed into your left side. The top of his head pressed into your armpit – keeping you from lowering that arm. His left leg is up over your hips. Your legs dangle over his right thigh.
You have not felt this way – safe – in ages. You softly trace the intricate tattoos on James’ left forearm. He snorfels into your ribs which tickles and makes you giggle. He tightens his hold on your ribs and blows mouth farts on your side. You squeal in laughter. He blows another. “Stop! I gotta pee!” you cry out in laughter.
Rising up on his elbow, a smile spreads across his face to his eyes. James leans over you planting a kiss on you. He releases his hold on you, “Bathroom is that way” he points.
Slipping off the bed you make your way to the door indicated. Finding the toilet in it’s own little room, you sigh in relief. Washing your hands after, you quickly return to the bedroom.
James passes you “My turn” landing a backhand smack to your bare ass.
You stretch out on the bed. James returns and spoons up behind you, pulling you into his body. Kissing your neck, “Oh shit. I bruised you.” You can feel his fingers tracing out the spot on your neck.
“That will cover up ok.” You roll to your back within his arms. “At least you didn’t draw blood.”
Shaking his head, “Not my thing.”
Smiling, you pull his face closer and kiss him.
“Shouldn’t you be at work?” James grins at you.
Doing an exaggerated pout, “I got fired.”
James, trying to be serious, “I know a guy. I could put in a good word for you.”
A wicked smile grows on your face. “That’s sweet. But …” Leading with your hips, you manage to roll him to his back letting the momentum carry you up on top of him. “There’s a new position I thought I’d try for.” You grind your dampening crotch into his quickly growing erection.
“Oh! That’s interesting.”
Reaching between your bodies, you place his cockhead at your entrance, “I hear the interview is very penetrating” as you slowly sink down his length, stretching your depths.
James groans and pulls down on your hips, driving deeper into you. “Well, that’s a great opening” he manages. Using your Kegels, you grip his cock, squeezing and releasing. He groans again.
James thrusts his hips up, overbalancing you. Catching yourself on his shoulders – your left hand sliding off and landing by his neck. James cups the back of your head and kisses you as you keep your actions working his cock. Breaking the kiss, “That’s great multi-tasking abilities” he hisses.
Planting both your hands on his chest, you sit back up driving him deeper into your wetness.
Feeling his response, you speed up the rhythm. His eyes roll back as you can feel his cock twitch inside you. James reaches for your clit, but you grab his hands, “uh huh. This is all for you.” A few more strategic grinds and Kegels and he is undone. With grunts and groans he fills your insides, your gummy walls milking every drop out of him.
James’ hands caress up your sides gently urging you down to his side. He kisses your forehead, “You’re hired” he smirks. You kiss his face and neck. He lazily wraps his arms around you and heaves a sigh. There you two linger.
Then with a speed and agility you didn’t know he had, you are caught off guard as you find yourself on your stomach, he is behind you, his knees have knocked yours wide and you are impaled by his cock slamming back into your still dripping cunt. His large hands pulling you tight against his body.
You can feel his chest hairs grazing your back as he leans over you, “Now.” He slams into you again, “Let’s talk benefits.”
Only one word barely escapes your lips “ok!”

You tap your foot eagerly as you sit on the plush leather couch. If you knew it would take so long, you would’ve worn something less revealing against the chill of the air-conditioned room. The show ended 20 minutes ago and James still wasn’t back from the stage. Metallica was in the process of filming their new movie, Through The Never, which was due to be screened in a month's time. You suddenly hear a familiar laugh, low and rumbly- joined by high pitched laughter shortly after. The door to the dressing room swung open and you were greeted by your boyfriend’s sweat-laden face, his bandmates following behind him guffawing in laughter before their eyes rested on you, noticing your presence.
“Oh my god sweetheart, I haven't seen you in forever!” He picked you up effortlessly in one hand, kissing your lips passionately. As his hand slipped under your skirt, Kirk piped up from behind James. “We’ll leave you lovebirds to it-“ he sniggered, walking towards the door as the others followed suit, throwing jabs at you and james
“Don’t mess up the couch! I plan to sleep on it later dude” Lars chuckled
“I better not find anything weird in my suitcase later!” Rob continued
With his lips still pressed against yours, James threw them the middle finger as they shut the door behind them and locked it. “Happy birthday honey, how could I ever forget?” You say through grins as you bring your top up and above your arms, boobs spilling out of their confines . He sits on the sofa, straddling you in his lap. His right hand comes up to toy with your nipple, a moan escaping your lips as you feel the stimulation he’s giving you. You feel his lips curling into a smile as he pulls you closer to him “Fuck..I missed you” He pants into your ear as his free hand trails down your back, letting his fingertips graze your slick-stained panties. “So wet…and i haven’t even taken it off yet-“ He sneered, “Did my pretty little slut get ready for me beforehand?” You couldn’t help but nod your head at his sweet but degrading words. Suddenly he stopped. “Are you sure you can take me today? Im already an old man you know…” He asked hesitantly, a twinge of uncertainty in his voice.
“Older is always better“
You could tell he wanted more than you could take, but hell were you ready for him and you wanted what he was going to give you, so you nodded in agreement. James still looked uncertain so you just reassured him. “It's your birthday and i want to make you happy, so i'm absolutely thrilled with anything you can give me-Just remember our safeword.” Little did you know what he had in store for you…
A devilish smile spread across his lips as he put you down on the ground, ripping off every article of clothing you had on. His faux mohawk soaked with sweat as he towers over in front of you, his visible bulge threatening to pop out at any moment as his aching cock was restricted in the confines of his jeans. “Please James I need it so bad…” Hearing your words, his hand went to grip your hair into a makeshift ponytail, muttering as he saw you on the floor, impatiently waiting for sweet release. “Open it sweet-shit, that's what you want, dontcha?” He purred. You gulp as you bring your hand up to unzip his fly, the heat between your legs growing by the second.
As soon as his zipper was brought down all the way, his long, throbbing and painfully hard cock slaps you square on the face. He chuckled as he spread the pre-cum over his tip, tapping it incessantly on your lips. “Open up sweetheart, show me how bad you want this old man’s cock…“ He degraded as you part your lips. In one smooth motion, his hardness enters your mouth, making you gag on its size. James pulls out, sniggering as he sees your lipstick stain on the base of his cock. He rested its underside on your face, wondering how you got it all to fit into your mouth. Without warning, he quickly slammed himself back into your mouth. He smiled as he saw you taking his full length down your throat, his balls slapping against your chin and the only sounds in the room being his grunting and the sound of flesh hitting flesh. Suddenly he ordered you.
“Turn around”
He asks you to stand up and turn around, placing your hands delicately on the sofa behind you. He kicks your legs to spread them apart wider, admiring your dripping cunt between them. You whine in anticipation as you feel his fingers gently circling your clit as he slowly pushes his digits into you, hissing at how eager you were. You like that, don't you?" James barked. "Love it when you're treated like the little whore you are.” You couldn't help but nod as he slowly licked long stripes up your slit, humming in satisfaction into your cunt as his tongue traversed it.
Finally, you felt his calloused palms grabbing your hips as he rammed his hardness into you. You squirmed under the stretch, a sharp scream making its way out of your mouth. “Fuck, Jamie, 'm so close." You whined, receiving a heavy hand on your ass. He smashed his hips against your backbone, keeping the mind numbing rhythm you were used to. Just as you felt the knot in your stomach come undone, he pulled out. Exasperated, you turned behind to glare at him, a Cheshire cat-like grin spread on his face as his head tilted ever so slightly upwards. From this angle, he couldn’t look hotter. “You don't get to come till i say so” he grunted as his chest rose and fell. James pushed back into you and went right back to fucking you as if you weren't on the brink of tears.
He kept at this for a while, getting you so close to the edge and then pulling out just to hear you whine and beg. “Fuck baby, so wet and tight ju-just for me..” The whole night he was just trying to see how many positions he could bend and fold you into, enjoying your face as different expressions appeared with every thrusts. James had a habit of praising and degrading as he edged you;
“You’re being such a good girl for me”
“I'm so lucky to have a cocksleeve like you”
“That ass and that pretty pink puss in that tight skirt…god woman do you wanna kill me?”
Finally, his hips rutted against your backside as you felt the sweet release of our shared connection, his arms gripping themselves to your chest as he came inside of you. "You've been so good, tonight, you know that?" He whispered into your ear, peppering your forehead with kisses. You nodded as you both drifted off to sleep with you in his lap, forgetting that his cock was still inside of you–but that's a problem for another time.

Kirk and Lars were just passing through this as filler characters…anyway enjoy ya animals!
<——————————————————->
It had been 5 days since I was invited to stay and help out at the Metalli-mansion. It was going extremely well, much to my satisfaction and surprise. My day consisted of usually cleaning up the rooms, washing the bathrooms, preparing food, and mopping the floors. Dinner was my favourite time because i got to eat with the whole band together. Kirk and Lars would often have their own conversations at the opposite end of the dining table, while James, Jason and I would joke about on our side.
God, I loved how they talked and interacted, like how James’s hands caressed his thighs when he laughed, or how Jason's biceps bulged whenever he raised his arms above his waist level. But I had to remember, I was working for them- and I couldn’t let them ever know what my true thoughts were.
<——————————————————->
“Alright guys, me and Lars are gonna head off, we have some unfinished work at headquarters so we’ll be back in a day- y/n, don't mess up my room!” Kirk joked as he walked out the door with Lars trailing behind him. I splattered some dish soap on him, giggling at his antics.
As I finished washing the plates, I saw James and Jason in the corner of my eye. I guess it was just me and them now, but I didn't mind. The clock struck 9pm and i wished everyone goodnight.
My eyes landed on the clock, it was 12am. My stomach rumbled. I got up, groaning as i got up to go get some food downstairs. Passing by, I realised that James was awake, talking to someone in his room, his door slightly ajar. I heard the bright tone of Jason's voice coincide with the roughness of Jameses. They were talking about…me?-
“She's so hot, i don’t know how much more i can take-the way y/n walks and talks i just need her-“ i heard jason, a groan emitting his lips.
“Obviously- she’s a bombshell, have you how she looks at me and you, it's just makes me wanna-“ James was cut off by me swinging the door open-unprepared for what i was about to see.
<——————————————————->
Here I was, standing in front of my idols (who were, apparently having said discussion on the floor-) , after hearing them talk about me- their hard-ons evident through their thin jeans. They scrambled to their feet, their hands covering the tent in their pants.
“OH-uh- y/n, please don’t tell us that you heard what we were talking about-“ Jason squeaked as he squirmed.
My face blushed red, I could feel my panties getting soaked. My hand trembled as I felt a knot in my stomach forming.
“I don’t mind…” my voice trailed off as I took a step towards them. I could see how much pain they looked like they were in-their faces flushed with sweat. “If you wanted to, all you had to do was ask” Without another word, I palmed them through their jeans, feeling them twitch at the same time.
<——————————————————->
In a matter of minutes, clothes were being thrown erratically on the floor. My mouth found solace with James as he smashed his lips against mine, his now short, blonde locks messily pressed up against his forehead. The taste of cigars and whiskey lingered on his tongue as our lips fought. I could feel Jason's warm body pressed up behind me as he began trailing kisses down my back down to my clit. Jason crawled onto the bed and beckoned to me. James picked me up and threw me onto the bed, the irises blue eyes full of lust. “On your back-Now” He commanded. I didn’t waste another second as I settled on top of Jason, my back flush against his chest. His fingertips caress the soft fabric of my panties and James lets out a low growl. I stop in my tracks, resting my head on Jason's shoulder closing my eyes, desparate for more.
James takes his hand closer to his mouth and spit on it and he reaches my clit, starting rubbing it with his fingers, slowly sliding 2 digits inside of it. Underneath me, I could feel Jason rubbing his fingers against my ass to stretch it out, his eyes closed in ecstasy. “Don't worry baby, you're doing so well. We just gotta get you ready-right?” James said to Jason, who nods in agreement, bringing his hand up to toy at my free nipple.
Jason's hands are everywhere I want them to be, skilled and unrelenting, drawing sensations so intense that I can hardly keep up. James’s fingers pump in and out of me, lubing me up. Just as i moaned, they stopped their actions, making me whine at the lack of stimulation. However, i heard the sound of cloth rustling as they proceeded to remove their boxers. I gasped when i saw the lengths they packed. James’s cock was long and beautifully curved. Jasons was around the same length, but slightly girthier. Wasting no time, they immediately slammed into me, the stretch making me wince in pain, but soon the pain turned into pleasure as they matched each other's thrusts.
Moans spilled out of me as they fought for dominance over my lower half. Tears fell from my eyes as I tried to keep up with their pace, but it was no use. Finally, the knot in my stomach came undone, and I spilled all over both of them. They pulled out as I started to drip on the sheets, my legs trembled as I came down from my high, panting and shaking. I looked over to James and Jason, they were still hard.
“Round two?” I mused, watching a cocky smile appear on their faces
<——————————————————->
“J-Jason…ask the–shit…ask the slut what she wants” James sneered through laboured breaths, looking down as he towered over me. His newfound meanness only made him hotter.
Jason smirked as lowered himself to me, grabbing my hair and pulling my head back.“Whaddya want sweetheart?” He whispered, the intoxicating smell of his sweat mixed with pheromones made my clit pulse back to life.
“Everything”
That was all the confirmation they needed. James spouted another command, as Jason swiftly positioned me between his legs. He guided my mouth, his hand still locked onto my hair, down his shaft. Tears brimmed in my eyes once again as my head bobbed up and down his girth. Every time Jason pulled it out, he compared it to my face, wondering how the hell I got it all to fit. After a while of teasing, he had enough. Grabbing the roots of my hair, he slammed my head down on his dick, making me feel his hardness down the back of my throat. ”Honey, you’re wonderful…” he whimpered through grit teeth. As he pulled out, he let go of my hair. Throughout this whole time, i caughy james in the corner of my eye on a chair, stroking himself off to the sight of me getting skull-fucked by his bandmate. I gripped the sheets, nails digging into them as I tried my best to hold myself up. Moans and whines turn shaky, the tears finally escaping my eyes and rolling down my cheeks.
“All yours now James” Jason groaned, taking a seat where James once was, his hand already rubbing the head of his hardness. I looked at James’s aching cock. His was way longer, and I just know he would send me to the hospital if he even tried to fit it in my mouth.
“Hands and knees, i want you to watch the show” James mocked, his lips curling into a smile as he lined his tip with my aching slit. I knew he would be rough, but I was finding out the hard way now. He spread me open and slid himself into me. My eyes widened as he grabbed me by the hair, pounding into me ruthlessly as I could hear the squelching of our bodies colliding.”We’re gonna fuck you brain-dead,” James sneered from behind me, his free hand giving my ass a tight slap. He gave out a low, menacing laugh, as his hand made its way down to my face to pull it back. He shoved himself back into me, making me gasp in pleasure. My tits jerked forward with every thrust of his hips, my mouth parted in a silent moan. He flipped me over and ruthlessly abused my cunt over and over again. My nails raked down his back, my hands tangling and pulling his messy blond locks back as he smashed into me with reckless abandon. “Ja-Jamie! I'm gonna-“ without saying another word, he slammed so hard into me I could feel his cock in my ribcage. Pleasure shot through me like a bullet as I saw him pull out his sopping wet member from me.
As I tried to get off the bed, Jason caught my arm. “Where do you think you’re goin sweetie?” He quipped, a devilish smile forming on his lips.
Fuck, more?
<——————————————————->
I felt myself get hoisted into the air as I felt a heavy hand come down on my ass. James lifted me up and hoisted me down on his still hard cock. I heard it squelch underneath me as my walls hugged his length, feeling it pit in my stomach. From behind I could feel Jason peppering me with kisses, suckling love bites into my supple skin. He lined his shaft with James’s, feeling his breath on my neck, his hand once again coming up to toy with my nipples, slowly kneading it and fiddling. Without a warning, James dropped me down onto their combined lengths, his hands still gripping my arms. I shrieked as I was speared by their dicks. James moved me up and down their combined lengths, groaning and shuddering from the stretch. He wrapped his free hand around my throat, silencing my moans. “Y-Fuck..You’re a loud one, gonna train you to be quiet, right baby?”
I grunted, a moaning muddled mess. I could feel every inch of him in me, obliterating my insides.”Bet you like this, huh? Being my little fucktoy.” James grunts, his voice low and husky. Their contrasting personalities really shined through as I could feel the combined efforts of their movements, Jason being more careful from behind while James roughed you up from the front.
James goes faster, not bothering to be shy about the groans and whines he makes, his eyes never once leaving me. “Fuck, taking us s-so good baby…that tight cunt of yours-“ It only takes a few more minutes before he makes a mess across his abdomen and hand, his seed spilling in large quantities over his skin. I looked over at Jason, then i looked over at his…still stiff as a stick. As James sat on the couch bubbling in his own ecstasy, Jason brought me down onto the bed. I instinctively spread my legs to my sides to give him access to my clit. He rubbed soft, slow circles on it, occasionally slipping a finger in.
“Jason…please-i need more”
As his eyes met mine, I saw unbridled passion. “Oh-baby you’re so perfect..” Praises left his lips like a prayer, his eyes sealed shut in anticipation. He gripped my waist and lined his cock with my clit, slamming into me again and again. “Ahh! Fa…faster! I’m gonna-!” His name left my lips like a prayer, my nails raking down his back as he slammed into me. Driven by wild frenzy, I bucked my hips into his thrusts, begging for more friction. “Go on sweetheart, let me taste you” He purred into my ear. Finally, the nth knot in my belly gave way, and i released. He followed soon after, groaning as he saw his seed splatter on my chest and abdomen.
“Wait here, ill get a washcloth for you sweetheart” Jason whispered as he got up to go to the kitchen. As I was still in my ecstasy fueled daze, I realised that I had forgotten about James. I pivoted my head to look at him, only to see him changing back into his clothes, stuffing his dick back into his pants, huffing and straining. He noticed me staring and let out a chuckle.
“You are one hell of a woman you know that?”

i wrote this at the PEAK of my ovulation week
Part 3 Coming soon 🖐️💔😔
The Newcomer (Part One)
The merciless glare of the bar lights in my eyes made me squint as I took another swig of whiskey from my glass. I slammed it on the table and nestled my forehead in-between my elbow, sighing as I attempted to drink my troubles away. Work as a maid had been rough lately and I had been waiting for my raise, but it seemed like thay day would never come. I was just glad the next day was a public holiday. The distant hum of the bar's radio sounded as though the air was whispering lyrics to me. Every time I drank I could feel the exhaustion creeping into me, my eyelids drooping with every word that floated into my ear. “Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every da…” the lyrics to ‘Fade to Black’ thrummed inside me. That song always resonated with me, standing by my side through thick and thin, from high school to the current day, especially from my favourite band. Soon enough- the last thing i remember was trying to being shaken awake by bar staff, before ‘thump’ my head slumped forward as I blacked out.
<——————————————————>
A cool breeze brushed past my face as I slowly pried my eyes open , my head pounding. ‘Where the fuck am I?’ I looked around as I checked for any indication of where I was. Surrounding me was multiple guitars hanging and framed beautifully on the wall. There were Explorers, Flying Vs, Les pauls, which made me wonder wh the hell lived here. I stood from where i was and slowly looked to see what was written on the tape plastered to a white explorer guitar. I read out loud “EET FU-“ Suddenly, a door swung open behind me. I froze in shock, afraid to turn my head.
“Oh the beauty’s awake!” A warm-sounding voice chucked.
“She oughtta be, we saved her ass last night! Did you see what those bastards had planned for her?? She would’ve been scarred forever-” Another responded, having a more low, southern and gravelly voice compared to the latter
As I spun around, I was faced with two burly men, one slightly taller than the other. Although my eyes tried to focus, i could tell one was an auburnette and the other was a dirty blonde. I suddenly felt arms around me, bringing me back down to the sofa i was sat on. “Oh dear” the auburnette cooed “i don’t think shes really in the right mind yet James-“ “No shit jason, she just got back on her feet” The blonde retorted
James?…Jason??
<——————————————————>
Finally my mind made the connection,I was in the Metallimansion- the home of THE Metallica. My mind struggled to comprehend the notion that I was just saved by my idols. The clarity hit me like a freight train and my legs sprung me up to my feet.
“Hey there missy, calm down-we just wanted to let you know you're in good hands.We were just finishing a show so we went to the bar you were, but turns out it was already closing time. Some weirdos were gonna rough you up because you were slumped-drunk on the counter, But thank god we stopped them.” James drawled, a friendly smile on his lips, arms akimbo as he looked proudly on.
Holding my head in my hands, I was absolutely starstruck. I had posters of these guys everywhere in my dorm room, although i would be ashamed to admit what I imagined when i looked at them. “Seems like shes familiar with us!” Jason grinned through his pearly whites.
“Familiar?? Hell I know everything about yall!” I could barely contain myself as they smirked at my enthusiasm, hearing me ramble about every nitty-gritty detail I knew about the band.
“If you’d like you can hang with us for a few weeks, besides its probably not safe for you out there right now because those guys took your ID and if they find you god knows what they'd do- and don't worry about pay. We saw the logo on your clothes which said “Sunrise Cleaning”-“ Jason started
“After a bit of researching and much deliberation, we know you work as a maid. So if you'd like you can just work here and clean the mansion, it's definitely better than working for some dusty old rag- plus we’ll give u a room“ James finished
Head over heels, I obliged- one opportunity to work for Metallica, who would say no? I nodded my head and my fate was sealed.

Blind
James Hetfield x Reader ☆ smut, friends to lovers
You and James had been best friends since childhood. Growing up together, you shared everything from secrets to dreams. Both of you had a passion for music, and as you got older, you both pursued your dreams of becoming rockstars.
You found success with your band, while James found fame with his own. Despite being in different bands, you remained close friends, always supporting each other through the ups and downs of the music industry.
When James went through a tough divorce, you were there for him every step of the way. You listened to him vent and reminded him of his worth. You were his rock during his darkest days, and he couldn't have been more grateful for your unwavering support.
As time passed, James began to see you in a different light. He realized that you were the one who had always been there for him, the one who truly understood him and cared for him. He started to see that you were the one he should have married, not his ex-wife, realizing that he was slowly falling in love with you over all these years.
One day, as you were sitting together backstage, after a show, your band being the opening act for Metallica. The energy from the show still buzzing in the air.
James let out a sigh, running a hand through his sweaty silver hair "Man, that was a killer show. Thanks for being a part of it." You smiled with a hand on his shoulder. "Of course, James. Today was so great. You guys were amazing as always."
He nodded, but you could see the weight of something else on his shoulders. "What's on your mind? You seem a little off."
James hesitated for a moment before opening up. "It's just...my divorce. It's been weighing on me a lot lately. I thought I was okay, but it's still hard, you know?"
You nodded sympathetically, knowing how tough it must be for him. "I'm here for you, James. You know that, right?"
He smiled gratefully, but then his expression turned serious. "There's something else I need to tell you, though. Something I've been keeping to myself for a while now." You raised an eyebrow, curious. "What is it?"
James took a deep breath, his eyes meeting yours. "I...I have feelings for you. More than just friendship. I've been trying to ignore it, but it's been eating away at me."
You were taken aback, not expecting this confession. But as you looked into his eyes, you saw the sincerity and vulnerability there. And at that moment, you realized that maybe he always secretly had the same feelings for you as you had for him. Wondering if you could have been married to him all this time instead of his ex-wife, sparing him the difficult divorce. But perhaps the divorce was needed to make space for something new.
"I...I don't know what to say, James," you stammered, feeling a rush of emotions. "I never knew you felt that way."
He reached out, taking your hand in his. "I understand if you don't feel the same. I just had to tell you. I couldn't keep it inside any longer."
You squeezed his hand, feeling a warmth spreading through you. "James, I...I think I feel the same way. I did for a long time, actually. I never thought you would like me in that way."
A smile spread across his face, relief evident in his eyes. "Really? You mean it?" You nodded, feeling a weight lifting off your chest. "Yes, James. I mean it."
And in that moment, backstage after a show, you and James shared a tender, heartfelt moment that would change the course of your friendship forever. Love had been hiding in the shadows, but now it was out in the open, ready to be embraced.
James smiled even more, sitting closer until you were mere inches from his body, his hand resting on your knee. He looked into your eyes, blushing. After a pause, he spoke up, his voice soft as though he was testing the waters. “I don't know what to say, um...maybe I...Can I... do something?”
You look into his blue eyes, managing a nod. James smiled tenderly, a little nervous, and lifted one of his hands to cup the side of your face, gently caressing your skin with his thumb. Without another word, James leaned in and kissed me, his lips soft and tender against mine. The kiss quickly deepened, igniting a fire within me that I had never felt before.
James hummed into the kiss, enjoying it more than he could ever imagine, which caused him to pull you closer against his body until you were pressed flush, almost no space between you two. He softly nibbled on your lower lip, silently asking for permission to continue further.
You felt your body temperature heat up and parted your lips as James slowly slipped his tongue into your mouth, his hands now gripping your hips firmly, pulling you to him. His tongue explored your mouth hungrily, a low hum reverberating in his chest.
You melt into him, now desperate for more. James continued to kiss you, his hands gripped your hips, almost possessively now, as his tongue began to gently and slowly swirl around your own. His mind was filled with you, and nothing but you. He slowly pushed you backwards until your back hit the soft cushions of the sofa.
You let out a sigh and wrapped your arms around his neck as James' body hovered over yours, strong tattooed arms kept you locked in place.
James broke the kiss for a moment, his breathing coming out in short, shallow breaths as he looked down at you, his eyes slowly raking over your form. "You're so beautiful...was so blind..." He was panting slightly, his cheeks flushed, as he lowered his head towards your neck, pressing hot, open-mouthed kisses from your jawline down to your collarbone, all the while hardening in his pants.
"Should have told you years ago, I'm sorry..." You whispered, running your fingers through his silver locks. James mumbled against your skin, his words low and his hot breath ghosting over the sensitive skin of your neck.
He began to leave a trail of small, gentle nips and kisses across your collarbone, his hands slowly making their way down to grip the back of your thighs. “Nevermind that... ‘m gonna make up for lost time now...”
James groaned low against your skin when you wrapped your thigh around his waist. One of his hands quickly slipped underneath it, his fingers gripping the back of it to hold you in place against him. He left a trail of kisses up the underside of your jaw, reaching your ear, and nipping at the soft lobe, gently pulling it between his teeth, his hips shifting to press against your core.
"Mhm James, I need to feel all of you...waited so long..." James groaned softly against your neck before he quickly lifted his head to look down at you. His eyes roamed over your face, taking in the sight of you. He was panting, his breath coming in shallow gasps now. “Are you sure? I don’t know if I can stop once I start, princess...”
"I don't know if I want you to stop once you start." You smiled and watched him expectantly. James looked at you for just a moment before he gently cups one side of your face with his large hand, his thumb caressing your cheek gently.
He lent down and presses a soft, slow kiss to your lips, all while his other hand slowly slides under the hem of your shirt, his fingers slowly skimming over the soft skin at your waist. When he pulled away from the kiss, he whispered against your lips. “You have no idea what you do to me, sweetheart.”
James slowly began to pull your shirt up, exposing more of your skin, all while his mouth began to leave a trail of kisses down the new bared skin, stopping to remove the piece of clothing from you, throwing it aside.
He looked down at your bra for a moment before he gently palmed your breast through the fabric until his other hand snaked around to your back to undo the hook of your bra. “God… I’ve imagined seeing you like this… so many times… couldn’t get the sight out of my mind…”
James gently slipped your bra off and quickly tossed it somewhere, his eyes slowly raking over your bare chest. He swallowed thickly before he looked back at you, his breath catching in his throat for a moment. “You're perfect."
You shivered once the cool air hit your naked chest, nipples standing tall in anticipation. James slowly lowered his head to your chest, his gaze never leaving your own as he began to lay a trail of open-mouthed kisses and gentle nips along your collarbone, down the center of your chest, his hands squeezing you gently, followed by a pause to undress from the sweaty shirt he's wearing adding it to the pile of clothes on the floor.
He kicked off his boots before opening his leather pants to undress, before he placed hungry kisses on your belly. James warm breath caressed your skin, you felt a shiver run down your spine. His gentle kisses left a path of tingling desire in their wake.
When he reached the waistband of your shorts, he paused, seeking silent consent. Your body was arching subtly into his touch, as if begging him to proceed. With a soft hum of approval, James eased your zipper down, his fingers grazing the sensitive flesh beneath. He peeled back the fabric, revealing the lacy edges of your panties. A slow, sensual smile spreads across his face as he pulls the heeled boots from your feet, followed by your shorts.
You watched his every move, impatiently waiting to finally feel all of the man you always dreamed of. James admired the sight before leaning down to place a soft kiss right above your clit, through the lace, making you wetter by the second.
The delicate lace of your panties was no barrier to James's questing mouth. He pressed tender kisses against the damp fabric, his breath hot and enticing against your most intimate area. Each kiss sent ripples of pleasure coursing through your body, making you squirm restlessly beneath him. The friction of the lace against your swollen clit heightened your sensitivity, and you couldn't suppress a needy whimper as your hips lift involuntarily, seeking more contact. "James, please, I need you."
James chuckled low in his throat as his hands slid up your thighs, thumbs brushing against the outer lips of your sex through the thin material. Slowly, almost reverently, he begun to peel away the lacy barrier, exposing your glistening folds to his eager gaze.
He discarded his boxers with haste, freeing his impressive length from its confines. It sprang forth, thick and hard. Your eyes widened as you took in the sight of him, your tongue darting out to wet suddenly dry lips. He looked magnificent, all sinewy muscle and raw masculinity. When he wrapped one large hand around his shaft, giving himself a slow stroke from base to tip, you couldn't tear your gaze away.
The movement was mesmerizing, his calloused palm gliding over velvety skin. He pumped himself languidly, his thumb swirling around the leaking head, smearing the clear fluid. All the while, his heated gaze remained locked on yours, dark with promise and barely restrained hunger.
"Up to your expectations, sweetheart? Tell me, do you want this?" James hovered over you, hot and ready.
Without breaking eye contact, you reached up and grasped James's firm buttocks, pulling him closer until the tip of his cock nudges against your slick folds. "Give me what I wanted for so long."
Your words, laced with longing and yearning, serve as a catalyst for the intense moment about to unfold. With a sigh, James lined up with your entrance before sheathing himself within your welcoming heat. A collective gasp echoed through the room as he fills you completely, his girth stretching your inner walls deliciously.
For a fleeting instant, you remained still, savoring the sensation of being utterly joined. Then, with a slow, deliberate roll of his hips, James began to move. Each stroke was a masterful blend of tenderness and passion, designed to stoke the flames of your desire to a fever pitch.
As he picked up pace, the sound of skin slapping against skin fills the air, punctuated by your breathy moans and James's guttural groans.
Your body responded instinctively to James's rhythmic thrusts, undulating beneath him as waves of pleasure began to crest. The sensation of being so thoroughly claimed, so deeply connected to another, was almost overwhelming in its intensity.
With each powerful stroke, James seemed to hit that sweet spot inside you, sending jolts of electricity coursing through your veins. Your nails dig into his back, urging him on as you lost yourself in the relentless build of ecstasy.
James's hands roamed your curves possessively, one palm cupping your breast while the other teases your clit. His touch was electric, every caress heightening the ardor between you until you were both panting and straining towards the precipice of climax.
"Oh fuck, Jamie. I'm coming..." Your breathy cry of impending release spurred James on, his hips pistoning faster as he drives into you with renewed vigor.
"I've got you," James rasped, his voice strained with the effort of holding back his own orgasm. "Let go, sweetheart. Come for me."
His thumb on your clit rubbed tight circles around the swollen nub as he continues to pound into you. The dual sensations prove too much, and with a keening wail, you tumble over the edge into oblivion.
Wave after wave of pure bliss crashed over you, your inner muscles clamping down around James's shaft as you convulse beneath him.
James' body tensed, a deep groan rumbling in his chest as he buries himself to the hilt within you. His hot seed pulsed forth in powerful spurts, filling you to the brim as he rides out the intense climax.
For a few moments, you remained entwined, caught in the aftermath of your shared ecstasy. James' face was a mask of satisfaction, his eyes closed as he savors the feeling of your warmth enveloping him. You could feel the steady thrum of his heartbeat against your own, a soothing counterpoint to the chaos of emotions swirling inside you.
Slowly, James pulled out, his softening member slipping free with a wet sound. A tender smile played on his lips as he brushes a stray lock of hair from your forehead. "I was a blind man, very blind..."
"And I was just plain stupid to not tell you what I feel..." As you lay there, breathless and spent, you knew that this was just the beginning of our journey together. Despite the challenges and obstacles that lay ahead, you were certain that your love would conquer all.
And as you held each other close, you whispered, "I love you, James. I always will." And in that moment, you knew that you were meant to be together, now and forever.
Hi, you write so beautifully for current James and I was wondering if I could request one, if that’s alright please? They both meet by chance and feel some connection towards each other. Reader isn’t very confident, but decides to give in and experience some loving even if it’s temporary and maybe not real. They spend an intense night full of passion, lots of emotions, different poses, etc. James is very sweet and worships all of her. They also talk to each other about everything and their bond only gets stronger. Day comes and he wakes up alone in bed as she left knowing that there never could be something between them. Feel free to add either a happy or sad ending. Thank you!! ❤️
So sorry this took me so long, I hope this is what you had in mind ❤️
Sweet connection
James Hetfield x Reader ☆ Fluff and Smut
Beneath the fluorescent lights on the inside of the gas station, the day unfolds like a cracked vinyl record, the same monotonous tune repeating itself with every passing hour. You stand behind the counter, absentmindedly sorting through a delivery of tobacco products. It was just another boring day where customers came and went, each interaction as forgettable as the last.
“Hey, can I get one of these, please?” a voice calls out, breaking through your dull concentration.
You turn, expecting to see a tired regular or a bleary-eyed traveler seeking a caffeine fix. Instead, your heart leaps into your throat as you process the sight before you, the unmistakable silhouette of James Hetfield, standing in front of you with casual confidence.
You blink as the world suddenly dims, the buzzing lights and distant sounds fading into the background. “Oh, um... sure!" You manage, scolding yourself for how utterly starstruck you feel. You can practically feel your cheeks turning crimson.
James raises an eyebrow, a hint of a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. “Is that a yes?” His voice was rich and deep, like the heavy thrum of a guitar riff, sending a delightful shiver down your spine.
“Y-yes! Right away!” you stammer, focusing your attention back to the display of cigars as if the neatly arranged packages would provide you with the composure you desperately need. Your fingers tremble as you fish one out, nearly dropping it twice before you turn around to the register and the Metallica frontman.
As you scan the item, you risk a glance at him. James was studying you with an amused expression, those piercing blue eyes strangely warm, as if they saw more than just a stranger. “You a fan?” he asks with a chuckle, seemingly being able to see right through you, leaning against the counter, his presence both intimidating and thrilling.
“Uh, yeah! I mean, I am, but—” you interrupt yourself, unsure how to express your admiration without sounding like a babbling fangirl. “I just didn’t expect to see you here. Like, in this... gas station,” she replied awkwardly.
He chuckles again, that rich sound echoing in your ears, and you can't ignore how his soft laughter makes you feel all fluttery inside. “Yeah, I tend to haunt the unlikeliest of places."
“I can see that,” you say with a shy smile, thankful that your voice seems to be regaining some of its earlier confidence. You hand him the sealed package and your fingers brush slightly, sending a jolt of electricity through you. His gaze lingers on yours, and time feels like it has hit the brakes.
He glances around, as if noticing for the first time how small and mundane the place is. “You know, it’s nice to get away from the limelight sometimes. Just bought a house around here. That's if you're wondering what I'm doing in a small town like this."
His words take you by surprise. You had never expected to hear something so personal from a rockstar. It was as if he felt a strange sense of trust in you, despite knowing you are a fan.
"I can understand that, Mr. Hetfield," you reply, your voice trembling slightly. "It must be hard to live a life in the spotlight."
He nods, a hint of weariness in his eyes. "Yeah. Sometimes, it's nice to just be... normal, you know? To have a quiet place to retreat to."
"It's nice here, would you like me to show you around sometime?" You ask, the question spilling from your lips before you can stop it.
He looks at you, surprised, then a slow smile spreads across his face. "I wouldn't mind that," he says, his eyes twinkling.
"Well I...you know where you can find me." You smile and watch his curious features before he pays for his cigars and gas.
You talk for a few more minutes, your conversation flowing effortlessly despite your nervous demeanor.
As he turns to leave, you can't help but feel a strange sense of connection with him. Despite your vastly different lives, you share a common desire for peace and simplicity.
"Thank you." he says, a genuine smile gracing his lips. "It's nice to talk to someone who understands. Oh and call me James."
With that, he strides out of the gas station, leaving behind a lingering sense of wonder and an unexpected memory. As you watch his car disappear into the distance, you can't shake the feeling that you just had an encounter with a man who, beneath the rockstar persona, was simply a human being longing for simple connection.
You feel your gaze drawn towards the window, the cars passing by, a welcoming distraction from your rambling thoughts. Lost in your reverie, you barely notice the incessant buzzing of a phone.
Glancing down at your own, you realize with a start that it was not the source of the noise. Your eyes fall on the foreign device resting on the counter—James' phone. A sigh escapes your lips as you realize the predicament.
Tossing up your options, you decide to return the phone after work. You know you could inquire in town about his new abode or simply search for his distinctive car.
Curiosity mingles with a sense of anticipation as you plot your evening adventure. You'll find a way to make his forgotten phone a bridge, a chance to cross the space that separates you, a chance to maybe find your way into his life.
You clock out of work at the end of your shift and get into your car, ready to face your mission. As you drive your heart beats a little faster and after a few wrong turns, you finally navigate your way to a lakeside neighborhood, where the air carries the scent of pine and tranquility.
There you spot it, a sleek black luxury SUV parked in the driveway of a very modern style country house. You park your own car and step out, your pulse racing. As you approach the house, each step is a mixture of excitement and trepidation. What if he’s not home? What if he is? Would he even remember you?
You walk up to the front door, the air thick with anticipation and ring the doorbell. Moments later, the door swings open, revealing that familiar face. He blinks in surprise, and his eyes widen in recognition. "It's you!" he exclaims, and suddenly, the world fades away.
“Your phone,” you manage to say, holding it out like a peace offering. His soft laugh dances through the evening air.
"Oh wow, there it is, I had no clue where I left my phone, I was searching the whole house. Can't believe you went through all this trouble to bring it back to me despite not knowing where to find me...," he says, his voice filled with gratitude.
"It was no trouble at all...it's a small town you know..." you reply, trying to keep your cool despite the fact that you were standing in front of one of your biggest idols. "I just wanted to make sure you got it back."
"Well thank you, I appreciate it," James says, a small smile playing on his lips. "Would you like to come in for a drink? I feel like I owe you one."
You can't believe your luck. Not only are you standing at James Hetfield's front door, but now he is inviting you into his home. "Oh I...I would love to," you say, trying to keep the excitement out of your voice.
As you walk into his house, you can't help but take in every detail. A very rustic farmhouse style but at the same time very modern and the air was filled with the faint scent of incense. James leads you to the living room and offers some coffee which you gladly accept.
"So, I didn't get your name did I?" James asks from the kitchen, before taking a seat on the couch next to you after placing two cups of coffee on the wooden table in front of you.
"I'm Y/N," you reply, feeling a rush of nerves at the thought of actually having a conversation with him.
"Well, Y/N, I have to say, I'm impressed by your honesty and determination, I haven't even realized I lost my phone for the longest time, and that anyone who found it would respect my privacy is quite a rare thing I guess...," James says, his eyes meeting yours.
You feel your cheeks flush at his words. "Oh I promise I haven't touched it since finding it on the counter...I just couldn't let your phone go missing," you say, trying to sound casual.
James chuckles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Well, I'm glad you did. And who knows, maybe it was fate that brought us together. It's nice to get to know someone from around the area you know."
You can't believe what you are hearing. Is James Hetfield actually flirting with you? You take a sip of your coffee, trying to calm your racing heart.
As the evening goes on, you talk and laugh, sharing stories and getting to know each other. And as the hours pass, you realize that maybe, just maybe, this chance encounter at work could turn into something more for real.
"You know I'm having quite a hard time these days, after my recent divorce..." James says as he's staring ahead as if to avoid your gaze despite deciding to tell you about his personal problems.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you," you reply sympathetically, reaching out to touch his hand in a gesture of comfort.
"Yeah, it's been tough. I never thought I would be going through something like this. I thought she was the one, you know?" James says, his voice filled with a hint of sadness.
"I understand. It's never easy when a relationship comes to an end, especially when you thought it would last forever," you say, trying to offer some words of encouragement.
"I just feel a little lost, like I put so much of myself into that relationship, and now it's gone," James tells you.
"It's okay to feel that way, James. It's all a part of the healing process. Just remember that you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help you through a difficult time," you say, squeezing his hand gently.
"I appreciate that, I really do. It's just hard, you know." James says.
"Take it one day at a time. Allow yourself to process your feelings. And remember, there is always hope for a brighter future, even in the darkest of times," you say, offering him a small smile of reassurance.
"Thank you for listening, and for being here for me. It means more than you know," James says, finally meeting your gaze with a look of gratitude in his eyes.
"Of course, James. I want to see you happy. You deserve nothing less," you say, giving his hand one final squeeze before letting go.
As you sit in silence, the weight of James' words hanging in the air, you realize that sometimes the greatest act of kindness is simply being there for someone in their time of need. And in that moment, you know that you will do whatever it takes to help James find his way back to happiness. As much as you can do that is.
"Thank you, really. I'll be fine, I just had to get away for a bit, so I came here and bought this house. You know a place I can come back to whenever I need to clear my head for a while."
"You sure made the right decision like you'll love it here and this view? Look at that, it's fantastic." Admires the sight out of the large windows, giving you an amazing overview of the lake outside.
As you stare out into the scenery, James nods but keeps his eyes on you, having a much better view, admiring the person in front of him, yearning for something that makes him feel desired and something that reminds him of his once felt love towards someone.
The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, reflected in the still surface of the lake. "I know it's beautiful," James says, his voice calm and soft, "but not quite as beautiful as you..."
You turn your head, catching the warmth in his gaze. He had moved closer, his arm resting against the back of the sofa, his hand gently resting on your thigh. A shiver runs down your spine, not from the cool air, but from the intensity of his eyes.
"James..." you breathe, your heart hammering against your ribs. He doesn't speak, simply leans in, his lips coming to brush yours in a feather-light touch. His kiss was slow, a gentle exploration, tasting of the unspoken desires.
You feel a rush of emotions flood through you as you melt into his touch. The world around you seems to fade away as you lose yourself in the moment. His hand moves from your thigh to cup your cheek, his thumb gently caressing your skin.
You can feel the heat between you, the electricity crackling in the air. It seems to be a moment of pure connection, a moment where everything else ceases to exist. You can feel his heartbeat against your chest, matching the rhythm of your own.
You kiss him back eagerly as he pulls you closer. And then, suddenly, he grabs your leg and pulls you into his lap, holding onto your thighs to keep you seated.
His touch is electric, sending a jolt of desire through you as you look into his eyes, dark with desire. "Do you want this?" he whispers against your lips, his breath hot against your skin.
You nod, unable to form words as you lean in to kiss him again. The connection between you is intense, a fire burning between you that threatens to consume you both.
Breaking the kiss for a moment, you look into his eyes and whisper, "Yes, I need this..."
And with that, you surrender yourself to the passion that had been building between you, letting go of all inhibitions as you give yourself over.
You can feel James' hands grabbing onto your hips, pulling you closer to him, body pressed against his. The contact is making you shiver and your heart pound in your chest.
His lips find your neck, placing hot kisses on your skin and you moan softly, hands moving to the hem of his shirt, fingers finding their way underneath the fabric, feeling his warm skin.
Your touch makes goosebumps rise on James' skin, his lips moving to your ear, breath hot against your flesh.
"You're so fucking sexy," he whispers, his hands moving to your thighs, fingers digging into them. You bite your bottom lip, hands wandering to the front of his pants, your fingers nervously fumbling with his belt. You can already feel the hardness through James' jeans, your body influenced by the action.
You let out a soft breath as your digits finally manage to undo his belt, hand slipping inside his pants, your fingers wrapping around his hard cock.
"Fuck, Y/N," James gasps, his hips bucking into your hand. You start to stroke him, hand moving up and down his length, your thumb brushing over the head of his cock, spreading the precum that had leaked out. You can feel him getting harder in your palm and you lean forward once more, lips finding his, your tongues dancing together as you continue to stroke him.
"I want you, James," You whisper against his mouth and James lets out a soft groan, his large hands moving to your ass, pulling you closer to him.
"I want to feel you inside of me." You murmur into the kiss. "Fuck, if you continue doing this, I'm gonna cum," James moans as you can feel him getting closer.
He lets out a soft sigh, his hands moving to your shirt, undoing the buttons. You squeal internally as he removes it from your shoulders, hands going to your bra, undoing the clasp. As the bra falls away, James's hands replace it, cupping your petite breasts, thumbs gently brushing over peaked nipples. He kneads the soft flesh, his touch both possessive and adoring. "You're so beautiful," he whispers, his lips finding yours again, his kiss tender and deep.
You moan into the kiss, body trembling with need. James's expert touch drives you wild, and you can feel your pussy getting wetter by the second. You pull away slightly, eyes dark with desire. "James, please."
In response, James moves to gently push you down onto your back, bare skin touching the texture of the sofa and your legs wrapping themselves around his waist.
He kicks off his shoes before pulling the shirt over his head, your eyes locked on his delicious appearance, body well maintained, tattooed arms strong and ready to keep you in place.
James's hands move to the waist of your pants, quickly undoing the button and pulling the zipper down. With a swift motion, he peels the pants off, leaving you in only a pair of skimpy lace panties.
James gazes at your naked body, a look of appreciation on his face. "You're gorgeous," he breathes, his eyes raking over your form. "I can't wait any longer."
With that, James is on his feet and quickly sheds the rest of his own clothes, his cock erect and proud, throbbing with need. "I want you inside of me," you murmur.
Groaning, James climbs back onto the sofa, hovering over your body, hooking his inked fingers into the waistband of your panties before pulling them down your legs. Left bare, he situates himself between your spread legs. He rubs his tip teasingly against your wet entrance, causing your hips to buck instinctively. "You want it, baby?" he asks, his voice thick with desire. "Tell me how much you want this."
"I want it so bad." You pant, eyes fixed on where both of your bodies join. "Please, fill me up. I need to feel you, take me hard."
James doesn't need to be told twice. With a savage growl, he plunges deep into your tight and welcoming heat. You cry out, your back arching off the sofa as you feel every inch of James's thick cock filling you up.
He starts to move, his hips snapping as he establishes a steady rhythm. Your hands grasp his ass, pulling him closer, urging him to go deeper. "Fuck me, James," you moan, voice breathy. "Harder, please."
James complies, slamming into you needily with each powerful thrust. Your eyes roll back in your head as you cling to James, nails digging into his flesh. "That's it, baby," James growls, his hands holding onto your thighs, spreading them wider to allow even deeper penetration. "Take it all. You're doing so good."
The sound of your flesh slapping together fills the room, accompanied by your whines of pleasure. James leans down, capturing a swollen nipple with his mouth, sucking and biting gently as he continues to thrust. "You gonna cum for me?" he urges, his voice rough. "Let me feel you come around my cock."
Your soon to be happening orgasm hits you like a freight train. You cry out, body shaking uncontrollably as waves of pleasure washes over you. James feels your pussy clenching rhythmically around his cock, milking him, and it's all he can take. With a few more powerful thrusts, he spills himself deep inside of you, moaning freely as his release coats your gummy walls.
Collapsing onto your sweaty body, James tries to catch his breath, his own body slick with sweat. Your arms wrap around him, a satisfied smile on your face. "That was incredible," you whispered, stroking James's silver hair.
James chuckles, pressing a soft kiss to your shoulder. "We're not done yet," he promises, already feeling his cock stirring again. "I have a feeling this night is going to be very long and very satisfying."
And it was. James and you explore each other's bodies with relentless passion, discovering new ways to pleasure each other with each passing hour. It was a night of uninhibited desire, one that both would remember with intense satisfaction for a very long time.
The sheets were a tangled mess, and your bodies were spent, but the smile on your faces said it all. It was a night of pure, unadulterated, erotic bliss but it all seemed to end too soon when James awoke in his bed by early morning, left with nothing but a cold and empty mattress next to him, your presence still lingering in every cell of his body, making him let out a sigh as he stares at the ceiling wondering when he deserves to feel that certain kind of happiness again, not just for one simple night but for a brighter future.
But little did he know that you would come back with a warm smile and a fresh breakfast waiting for him, driving all the way to the best bakery in town by early morning, hoping he would still be asleep and not sad about your disappearance. And after the sun rises he would be one happy man with wonderful hopes for the future.

Read Part 1
James Hetfield x Reader ☆ Smut, age gap
It was a perfect summer day, the sun shining brightly in the sky and a gentle breeze blowing through the air. You had been invited to a BBQ party at James' house, and you couldn't wait to see him again after your last encounter. As you arrive at the party, you can hear the sound of laughter and chatter coming from the garden where everyone was gathered. You walk over to join the bunch of people, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness at being around James again.
You spot him standing by the grill, chatting with some friends. He looks handsome as ever, his tattooed arms peeking from his shirt as he takes care of lighting up the barbecue with a big smile on his face as he talks. You can't help but feel a flutter in your chest as you make your way over to him. He turns to face you as you approach, his smile widening at the sight of you.
"Hey, there you are," he says, reaching out to give you a quick hug. "I'm so glad you could make it."
You return his hug, feeling a rush of warmth at his touch and the smell of his perfume intoxicates your mind . You can't deny the chemistry between the two of you, and being in his presence only heightens your feelings.
"Hey James. Do you need help with anything?" You speak, offering your assistance.
James looks over at you with a knowing smile. "No, it's alright. Just sit back and relax."
You nod, feeling a little guilty for not making yourself useful. "Are you sure? I don't mind helping out."
He shakes his head, waving you off. "No, no. I've got it under control. Why don't you go grab a drink and enjoy yourself? The grill won't be ready for a little while."
You hesitate for a moment, but eventually relent. "Alright, if you're sure. I'll go grab a drink then."
You shrug and walk inside to the large kitchen, chatting with some friends before grabbing a drink from the cooler pouring the inside into a plastic cup.
Once a beverage in hand, you head out into the garden where the party is in full swing. The sound of laughter and chatter surround you as you scan the crowd for familiar faces.
You spot your dad talking animatedly with Lars and another friend. You make your way over to them, a smile on your face as you greet them both. Lars pulls you in a quick hug and smiles. "Hey! You like to hang with the old farts huh? Or just making sure your old man stays out of trouble?" Lars jokes and your dad smacks his head jokingly with a playful glare making you laugh. "Maybe I do. James invited me so I came." You shrug with a smile, playing it cool but you can feel your dads eyes watching you curiously.
As you chat, you can't help but steal glances at James from across the yard and your mind keeps drifting back to your past experience. You try to push the thoughts of James aside as you focus on enjoying the party.
As the day wears on, the smell of grilled meat fills the air, signaling that food was soon to be ready. You find yourself getting hungry, your stomach growling in anticipation of the delicious food that awaits you.
Seeing James standing alone in front of the grill, you can't help but admire the way he looks so focused and skilled as he flips the steaks. You make your way over and casually lean against the counter next to him, fiddling with the cup in your hand as the delicious smell of food fills your nostrils.
"Wow, look at that meat," you say, trying to break the silence between the both of you.
James raises an eyebrow and smirks as he follows your eyes wandering between the food and his arms, "Are you talking about the steaks or my arms?"
You blush at his teasing tone, feeling a bit flustered as you stammer, "Uh, I mean, both. The steaks look delicious, and your arms are… impressive."
He chuckles and turns his attention back to the grill, flipping the steaks with ease. "Thanks, I've been working out a lot lately. Gotta stay in shape for the younger generation."
You can't help but admire him, feeling a warmth spreading through you as you watch him in action. "You're really good at this, James. I'm impressed by your skills."
He glances over at you, a soft smile playing on his lips as he chuckles. "Thanks, but it's easy when you have good company to cook for. Plus it's a bonus when the person I'm cooking for is as gorgeous as you."
You blush at his compliment, feeling your cheeks warm at the way he was looking at you. You can't deny the attraction you feel towards him, the way your heart races whenever he was near. Maybe this barbecue was more than just a friendly gathering after all.
As James finishes the majority of his cooking, you begin to plate up the food, setting everything up on a table next to the grill. He hands you a plate with a smile and places a perfect looking steak on top, his eyes meeting yours in a silent exchange that speaks volumes. "Thanks for the help. Enjoy."
As the sun begins to set, the scent of food fills the air as friends and family gather around the barbecue. James had been manning the grill all afternoon but now he finally took a break to join the festivities.
The music is loud, the drinks are flowing, and laughter fills the air. Everyone is in high spirits as they enjoy the delicious spread of food that has been prepared. James can't help but smile as he watches his loved ones chatting and laughing, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the sunset.
As the evening wore on, the party only seemed to get livelier. People start dancing, moving to the beat of the music and letting loose.
James watches you all evening, waiting for the perfect moment to steal you away from the crowd without anyone noticing. He sees his opportunity as you make your way to the buffet to get another quick snack.
Just as you reach for some bread, James appears at your side, his hand gently wrapping around your wrist. Startled, you turn to face him, only to find yourself being pulled away from the party and into the shadows of the nearby garden shed.
Confusion and excitement wars within you as James presses you against the closed door of the shed, his eyes filled with hunger and longing. In the dim light, you can see the intensity of his gaze, the way his chest rises and falls with each breath.
"I missed you." James whispers, his voice low and husky. The words hang in the air between you, charged with emotion and desire.
Without a word, James leans in closer, his lips hovering just inches from yours. A shiver runs down your spine as you feel his warm breath against your skin, sending a rush of electricity through your body.
And then his lips are on yours, soft and urgent, pouring out all the pent-up emotions he had been keeping hidden. You melt into his embrace, feeling the heat of his touch searing through you.
James' hands wanders up your hips, squeezing them roughly as he pulls your body tight against his.
You moan into the kiss as you feel James' hardness pressing into your stomach. You know what he wants and are more than eager to give it to him. With a growl, James pulls away, looking into your eyes with a mixture of lust and intensity.
"You want more, don't you, baby?" James growls, his breath hot on your face. "Wanna get fucked nice and hard just like last time?" You nod, biting your lip as a shiver runs down your spine.
James forcefully swings you around before he bends you over a large storage box in the corner of the shed. The box was sturdy and at the perfect height to expose your ass which James immediately starts groping.
"Such a beautiful sight," James mutters as he slaps your ass, making you gasp. "I've been thinking about this ass ever since I last had it."
He slides his hand between your legs, rubbing you through your thin shorts. You arch your back, pushing your ass back against James' groin as you let out a moan.
"Take these off," James orders, pulling at your shorts. You lift your hips, allowing him to peel them down your legs, along with your lacy panties, leaving you completely exposed.
You feel the cool air on your wet pussy and instinctively spread your legs, giving James full access. He takes advantage, rubbing your clit with his thumb as he slips two fingers inside you, eliciting a loud moan from you.
"Such a little slut for me, aren't you?" James teases, pumping his fingers in and out of your dripping hole. "I bet you've been thinking about my cock ever since the last time I fucked you senseless."
You whimper and nod vigorously. James leans down, his hot breath on your ear as he nibbles on your earlobe.
"I'm going to fill that tight pussy up again," he whispers. "Gonna stretch you out and make you cum all over my cock."
With that, James stands and removes his digits before he pulls down his pants and lines his throbbing dick up with your waiting hole. He grasps your hips and slowly slides himself into you, moaning at the tightness that envelopes him.
You bite your lip to stifle a scream as you feel James fill you up. James starts to thrust slowly, pulling out until just the tip of his cock remains inside before slamming back into you.
"Fuck, you feel so good," James groans, picking up the pace. "Tight little pussy was made for my cock."
Your moans fill the shed as James pounds into you. Your juices flowing freely, coating James' shaft with each deep thrust.
"That's it, baby, you gonna cum for me?"James pants, feeling your pussy clench around him.
As if on command, your body trembles, your orgasm washing over you as you cry out James' name, muffled by his large hand. Feeling your pussy pulsate around him sends James over the edge, and with a few more sharp thrusts, he unloads his hot cum deep inside you.
As his orgasm subsides, James wraps his arms around you. He kisses you then, a deep, passionate kiss that speaks of his gratitude and desire. Breaking the kiss, he nuzzles your neck, his breath warm on your skin as he whispers, "Damn, woman, you are incredible."
James pulls out, his spent cock twitching as he watches his cum leak out of you. He smacks your ass playfully, causing you to jump.
"That's what I like to see," he says with a satisfied smile. "My cum dripping out of that sweet pussy."
You turn your head, giving James a cheeky grin. "This our thing now?"
James laughs, pulling you to your feet and kissing you. "Dirty little thing," he growls against your lips.
You shiver as James pulls away, already looking forward to the next time you could sneak away and continue your heated affair.
Facing him, you bit your lip. James notices the gesture, and a grin spreads across his face. "You've got that look in your eye, baby. What are you thinking about?"
"Why the shed though? You got no bedroom?" You joke playfully, making James chuckle. "Where's the fun in that?", before he gets dressed and kisses you before pulling you to your feet.
Reaching down, he picks up your shorts, crumpled on the floor where they had been hastily discarded earlier. "Get dressed, baby. I'm sure someone noticed our absence by now." Though he spoke of caution, you both knew the risk only added to the thrill.
You take the offered shorts and step into them, feeling the material slide over your sensitive skin, still buzzing from the orgasms James had coaxed from you.
Once dressed you both knew your secret affair wasn't over yet. There were more pleasures to be had, more boundaries to push, and you were eager to explore every delicious possibility together.
Forbidden Encounter
James is good friends with your dad who's also in a band and you meet him at a show which leads to you both secretly fucking on the backseat of his car.
James Hetfield x Reader ☆ Smut, age gap
You stand in the crowd, watching your dad's band perform on stage, your eyes immediately fall on him - James. He was a close friend of your dad and you had always had a major crush on him. But he was like a forbidden fruit, always out of reach. His smile was captivating, his eyes sparkle in the blinding spotlights and you can't help but steal glances at him the whole evening. Every time your eyes meet, your heart skips a beat.
His presence alone makes your heart race, and you can't tear your eyes away from him. You knew it was wrong to have such feelings for your dad's friend, but it was impossible to ignore the desire you felt for him. Despite the fact that he could potentially be your father, you couldn't help but be captivated by his charm and charisma.
As the show continues, you can't shake the feeling of longing that fills you. You knew that you would have to push these feelings aside, that a relationship with James was out of the question. Despite the forbidden nature of your potential relationship, you couldn't help but hope that maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for you.
But then he disappears from your sight. You know you had to find him, take that chance to have your way with him.
You sneak out of the concert and follow your instincts, guided by the pull you felt towards him. You stumble upon James standing by his sleek black car, puffing away on a cigar. His brooding eyes meet yours as you approach him, and a flirtatious smile plays on his lips. Without hesitating, you walk up to him and your eyes meet once again.
"James, hey," you say softly, trying to mask the nervousness in your voice.
"Hey there, beautiful," James says, his voice smooth and alluring. "Care to join me for a smoke? I've been having a feeling you'll come find me."
You hesitate for a moment, feeling a rush of nerves at his confident demeanor. But something in his gaze makes your heart race, and you find yourself nodding, unable to resist his charm. "Why'd you leave?"
"Needed some fresh air I guess..." As you stand by his side, James leans in closer, his breath mingling with yours.
"Actually I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time," he confesses. "I can't explain it, but there's something about you that draws me in. Guess I've always had a thing for my friend's daughter."
You blush at his bold admission, but can't deny the sudden surge of desire that course through you. Before you know it, James pulls you into a fierce kiss, his hand coming to rest on the small of your back.
The next thing you know, you're entangled in a heated embrace in the backseat of his car, lost in a whirlwind of desire and longing. The windows fog up as you give in to the undeniable chemistry between you, his touch setting your soul on fire.
As you feel James' lips on your neck, a shiver runs down your spine. His touch is electrifying, but deep down, you know this was wrong. You shouldn't be doing this, not here, not now.
"Mhm James...this is so wrong..." You manage to whisper, trying to resist the urge to melt into his embrace.
You can see the raw emotion in his eyes, the desire he feels for you. James' hand find it's way between your legs and he whispers in your ear, "No one needs to know, sweetheart. It'll be our little secret."
As James' hand disappears under your black dress, you can't help but let out a soft moan of anticipation. His fingers graze against your wet panties, causing a sensation to ripple through you.
"Gosh, look at you," James whispers, his voice filled with desire. "You're soaked and I haven't even touched you yet."
His words send shivers down your spine as you feel your heart race with excitement. You can feel the heat between you growing, the tension thick in the air.
"Please," You beg, your voice hoarse and full of need. "I need you to touch me."
James obliges, sliding his hand inside your panties and moaning softly at the feel of the warmth and wetness. His finger finds your clit, and he starts to rub slow, lazy circles, sending sparks of pleasure through your body.
James adds another finger, sliding it into you, slowly in time with the circles he rubs on your clit. "You like that, baby?" he growls, his hot breath in your ear sending shivers down your spine. "You like it when I finger-fuck your tight pussy?"
With a shaky breath you reach out for his belt, brushing your hand against his hard bulge.
He grabs your wrist and removes your hand before undressing you in a swift movement, leaving you in just your panties. He hooks his fingers into the waistband and slowly pulls them down, revealing your bare pussy.
James growls, his eyes fixated on your wetness. He bends down and presses his mouth against you, his tongue lapping at your clit. "So beautiful."
You cry out, your hands reaching out to grab the back of his head as he eats you out. He slides a second finger into you, slowly in time with the the way his tongue moved against your bundle of nerves.
“You like that, baby?” he growls, his hot breath against your cunt sending shivers down your spine.
“Yes, fuck yes,” you moan, your hips bucking against his mouth.
“You’re so hot, baby. I can’t wait to fuck you,” he growls, his voice low and husky.
You reach down and grab his hair, pulling him closer to you. “Then fuck me already,” you demand, your voice breathy with need.
James removes himself from you for a moment, his eyes blazing with desire. He strips off his clothes, revealing his hard cock, looking mighty fine for his age.
He grabs your hips and positions himself between your legs. He teases your entrance with the tip of his cock, before thrusting into you in one swift motion.
You gasp audibly, your back arching off the backseat as he fills you up. James sets a punishing pace, his hips slamming into yours as he fucks you hard and fast.
You reach out and cling onto his back as he thrusts into you. James leans down and captures your lips in a searing kiss, his tongue exploring your mouth as he fucks you.
You moan into the kiss, your body trembling as you feel yourself getting closer and closer to the edge.
James reaches down and rubs your clit, his fingers circling the sensitive spot.
You cry out, your orgasm crashing over you like a wave. You convulse around James’s cock, your pussy milking him as you come.
James growls, his thrusts becoming erratic as he reaches his own climax. He buries himself deep inside you, his cock twitching as he fills you up with his cum.
James collapses on top of you, his breath hot and heavy against your neck.
You wrap your arms around him, your bodies slick with sweat.
“Fuck, that was amazing,” James pants, his voice low and husky.
You smile, your body still trembling from the aftershocks of your orgasm.
“Yeah, it was,” you agree, your voice barely above a whisper. "You still got it Hetfield."
James chuckles, his body pressed against yours as you lie on the backseat of the steamy car, both of you panting and trying to catch your breaths. You run your fingers through his grey hair, your other hand tracing the curve of his chest. "Will we do this again sometime?" You blink and look up at James hopefully. "Maybe, but for now we'll keep this our dirty little secret alright?" He smiles and leans down to give me a final kiss, knowing it won't be our last.
Love Me Harder
An amazing collaboration with @metallicames !! ❥
*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚
Description: 1991, You and James are friends with benefits, but you knew each other since you were in high school and since then you’ve been inseparable… but lately, during James’ last tour something changed, making you doubt about your special friendship, or so you thought until that night…
Warnings: smut, angst, unprotected sex, fingering
*. ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚
“Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
Gotta love me harder”
-“Love me harder”, by Ariana Grande & The Weeknd
*. ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚
Being James Hetfield's friend with benefits has never been easy, it's actually like being on a roller coaster: you never know what might happen, what mood he'll be in, or when you'll see him next.
I haven’t heard from him in days… he was having some gigs with his band around the country, he promised to call me so he could tell me how his tour was going but the last call was two weeks ago by now. We’ve been friends since we were in high school and talking to each other about our lives always been a habit, but now that his career became bigger he changed: the alcohol his destroying him but he doesn’t seem to care, but I do…
I was having my work break during my night shift, while he was probably getting ready for another show, I couldn’t help and decided to call his hotel. A lady answers my call before sending it to James’ room; I heard him answering the phone “Yeah?” I could identify his drunk and probably high voice through the speaker “James, it’s me Y/N…” he sighed heavily hearing my voice “…you didn’t call, I wanted to know if you are doing okay” my voice was low, I felt like he didn’t want to hear me.
James sighed heavily into the phone again, his words slurred slightly as he spoke."Fuck, Y/N... I've been busy, alright? Shit's been crazy with the tour and all..."
He took a long swig of his beer, the sound of liquid glugging echoed through the receiver. James grimaced slightly at the bitter taste, but continued to drink nevertheless. “I figured, but I was worried about you, that’s all…” I tried to be more sensitive as possible trying to bring him back to reality noticing that he wasn’t sober.
"Look, I ain't got time for this fuckin' heart-to-heart bullshit right now, ya know? I got a fuckin' show to play in like, an hour..." he never been this cold with me, the previous years was always euphoric to tell me about his tour, but this time is different. “James I just-“
James's voice dropped to a low, irritated murmur. "I'm fine, 'kay? Just fuckin' alright here. Stop worryin' about me like I'm some fuckin' damsel in distress or somethin'..."
He letted out another exasperated sigh, running a hand through his long, dirty blonde hair. "I'll call ya when I get back, 'kay? Now quit bein' such a fuckin' girl about this shit..."
Without waiting for a response, James slammed the phone down, cutting me off mid-sentence. I was speechless, hurt, that wasn’t the James that I used to know… I waited for a call that night and the days after and it never came.
Today, a few weeks later after our last talk I had the worst day at work, after replacing my colleague’s shift that lasted four hours more then my usual, I came back home exhausted, with the only thought of sleeping and finally relaxing with the thunders and rain sounds through the windows hoping to finally stop overthinking about him; After a few hours the storm wakes me from a restless sleep. Thunder shaking the windows, and the rain lashing against the glass like a fist. I turn over in bed, trying to reclaim the warmth of dreams, when the intercom ring sharp and insistent, cutting through the night like a blade.
I glance at the clock: 3:20 a.m.
Disoriented, I stumble toward the intercom. “Who is it?”
“It’s me...” The voice is low, hoarse, heavy with something unspoken. “James.”
It takes me a moment to believe it. “James? What… what are you doing here?”
“I’m sorry. Can I come up?”
I don’t hesitate. I press the button and unlock the door. I wait in the doorway, pulling the thin fabric of my sleep shirt tighter around me. When I see him climb the stairs, my breath stops.
He is soaked to the bone, rainwater dripping from his hair, his clothes clinging to his body. His eyes are unfocused, his steps unsteady, i can tell he'd been drinking. But there is something else too: a desperation clinging to him like the storm itself.
“Are you insane?” I whisper, pulling him inside. “You’ll catch your death out there.”
He doesn’t answer. He just stay there, eyes locked on mine with an intensity that make me forget the cold. I peele his wet jacket off him, and the heat of his body surprises me, he feels feverish, trembling. Then he steps closer, and before I could speak, his hands are on my face, and his mouth crashes into mine.
It ain’t a kiss. It’s a plea.
And I answer it.
We kiss like we are trying to drown in each other. There is no space, no air, only heat and hunger. We stumble through the hallway, shedding wet clothes as we keep walking, lips never parting for long. My back hits the bedroom door, and we fall onto the bed, still tangled in half-removed shirts, his hands roaming, urgent and rough, like he needed to feel every inch of me to believe I am real. James's breath comes in harsh, ragged gasps as he hovers over me, his blue eyes dark and intense in the low light. He can feel the heat radiating off my skin, the soft curves of my body beneath his trembling hands. The alcohol coursing through his veins only amplified his desperate need to lose himself in me, to forget the chaos and darkness that haunted his every waking moment.
He captures my lips again in a bruising kiss, his tongue delving deep into my mouth, tasting me, claiming me. One hand tangles in my hair, gripping it tightly as he angles my head to deepen the kiss, while the other hand slides down the smooth column of my throat, feeling my pulse jump beneath his touch.
James's hips ground against mine, the evidence of his arousal pressing insistently against my core. He needs me, needs to be inside of me, needs to feel something real. The world outside this room fades away, the storm still raging but now nothing more than a distant hum, a muffled soundtrack to our desperate coupling.
He breaks the kiss with a harsh gasp, his forehead falling to rest against mine as he struggles to catch his breath. His voice is a low, ragged whisper when he spoke, his words hot against my lips. “I need you. I need to feel you. Now..."
James's hands roamed my body with a desperate, almost frantic hunger, calloused fingers skimming over the soft curves of my breasts, my stomach, my hips. He pushes my shirt up and off, tossing it carelessly to the side, before leaning down to take one hardened nipple into his mouth, sucking and biting at the sensitive flesh until I cry out in pleasure-pain.
His other hand slides between my thighs, roughly pushing my panties aside to delve into the slick heat of my core. He groans against my breast when he feels how wet I am, two fingers plunging deep inside of me, pumping in and out of my tight channel.
I can feel every inch of him, hard and heavy against my thigh as he looms over me, his hips rocking forward, seeking friction. With a low curse, he takes off his own shirt, revealing the lean, muscular expanse of his chest, the light dusting of hair glistening with rainwater and sweat.
James kicks off his jeans, leaving him bare and exposed, his thick hard cock ready to be used. He settles between my thighs, the head of his erection nudging against my entrance, and with one hard thrust of his hips, he buries himself to the hilt inside of me.
I gasp at the sudden intrusion, my back arching off the bed as I adjust to the feeling of him stretching me wide, filling me so completely. He set a fast, almost punishing pace, the headboard slamming against the wall with each powerful thrust of his hips.
One hand grips my hip hard enough to leave bruises, holding me in place as he takes his pleasure from my body. The other hand slides beneath my ass, tilting my hips up to meet each driving thrust. The obscene sound of skin slapping against skin fills the room, mingling with our harsh pants and moans.
The storm outside rage, but it only echoes the storm between us the frantic rhythm of skin on skin, the harsh gasps, the sound of the bed creaking beneath the weight of something more than lust.
He is above me, inside me, and I clung to him as if letting go would shatter something irreparable. There is no space for thought only the relentless surge of his hips, the grip of his hands on my thighs, the heat building between us like fire under wet wood.
And then, in the middle of it all in the middle of the madness I hear it. A breath, a tremor.
“I love you.”
I freeze.
My body doesn’t stop, but something inside me does, like the world is slipping sideways. My fingers grip his shoulders. My voice is barely audible, a thread of disbelief.
“What?” I whisper, not daring to believe what I just heard. “James… what did you say?”
He slows down, just enough to meet my eyes. His own are dark, wet not only for alcohol anymore, but something deeper. He holds my gaze and say it again, slower this time, with a clarity that cut through me.
“I love you.”
The words hung there, raw and exposed, heavier than anything else in the room. My chest hurts. Everything in me screams to me to hold on and to run at the same time.
But I don’t move. I reach up, tangle my fingers in his damp hair, and kiss him like it is the first time and maybe the last.
As James's hips stilled, buried deep inside of me, I can feel his cock pulsing and throbbing, hot seed spurting in thick ropes to paint my insides. The sensation of his release triggers my own, and I come with a sharp cry, my inner walls clenching and fluttering around him, milking every last drop of his essence.
My orgasm crashes over me like a tidal wave, I gasp beneath him, back bowed, fingers clawing at his shoulders as I ride out the intense pleasure, wave after wave of bliss consuming me.
James groans low in his throat, hips grinding against mine as he prolongs both our peaks. He can feel me coming undone around him, my silken walls gripping his sensitive flesh like a vise. It is almost too much, the intensity of it, the raw, primal connection.
Even as the aftershocks begin to subside, James doesn’t pull away. He collapses against me, his weight pressing me into the mattress, his face buries in the crook of my neck. Our chests heavy together, sweat-slicked skin sliding against sweat-slicked skin, as we struggle to catch our breath.
The air between us is thick with the musky scent of sex and the weight of unspoken emotions.
This night ain’t just a mistake or a relapse. It ain’t just sex. We cling to each other like the storm outside might swallow us whole. And even though fear grips my chest the fear that tomorrow he’d disappear again, that morning light would erase all of this I let myself believe, just for that night.
In this moment, I am his. Entirely. And for the first time, it feels like he is mine too.
The harsh light of morning pierces through the curtains, falling across the tangled sheets and naked limbs of our spent bodies. I wake up first, blinking away the remnants of sleep, taking in the sight of James's face on the pillow beside me. His features are relaxed in slumber, the usual tension gone, leaving him looking almost boyish. Almost vulnerable.
I glance down at our bodies, still entwined, the sheet kicked down to our waists. The room is a mess, clothes strewn haphazardly across the floor, the air thick with the scent of sex and the faint aroma of alcohol still clinging to James's skin.
I softly stand up from the bed trying to not wake him up, collecting a top and pair of shorts heading towards the kitchen.
As I reach for a mug from the cabinet, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn to see James, still naked except for a pair of boxers. His hair is disheveled, falling in loose waves around his face.
He pauses in the doorway of the kitchen, leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his bare chest. His eyes, still heavy from sleep.
I can see him swallow hard, Adam's apple bobbing in his throat, as he meets my gaze. The air between us feels charged, the silence heavy with the weight of last night's passion and the unspoken words left lingering on our tongues.
James remains quiet, his expression guarded, as he studies me. It is clear that he is still processing, still trying to reconcile the events of the night with the harsh light of day. “Morning…” I say breaking the awkward silence between us “…you want something for breakfast?” I ask him again trying to keep it cool but inside me I am screaming thinking about what he told me last night, I know he wasn’t completely sober but he wasn’t drunk of course, maybe those three words were actually true… “Just gimme a beer” he says, I stop what I was doing before looking at him with a disappointed expression before seeing him laughing “I’m playing with ya’… a coffee would be perfect” I sigh at his joke before preparing everything for both of us.
“Here you go” I say giving him the mug. The silence is deep, again, my thoughts are killing me from the inside while I keep thinking about everything that we had hours before, I can’t take this anymore “James…” I start keeping my eyes focused on my coffee “Mh?” He simply replies making things more difficult for me “About last night… uhm… Were you serious?” I spit out nervously “About what?” He asks leaning down on the chair “About what you told to me…” he doesn’t say anything, he probably knows but he doesn’t want to touch the topic “Listen Y/N, whatever I said that wasn’t the right moment, I was probably too much turned on my the moment and-“ I know him, I know him too well “So you remember…” he freezes “why you playing this shit with me James?” That’s enough he can’t treat me like one of his tour girls I’m not like them and he knows it “I’m not playing with you, I’m just-“ he tries to justify himself “You are what? What’s your goal of being this distant with me? We’ve been best friends for years and now you are acting like a total dick: you disappear, then you come here, you fuck me saying that you love me, then you deny everything! What do you want from me?!” I snap, standing up from the chair, hands in my hair, I go back to my bedroom trying to stay calm starting to feel my eyes filling with tears, I was ready to tell him that his feelings are the same that were hunting me since he left for the tour, but now I’m regretting everything.
I lay down on the bed for a few minutes before feeling the mattress moving behind me, a hand gripping my waist. James’ mustache rubbing my skin while he places a soft kiss on it “I’m sorry for being such a dick sometimes” he says softly “You are always a dick James” I say making him escape a little laugh “I meant everything that I said yesterday night…” he finally admits; my heart starts to beat faster at his words “…Never been a moment where I didn’t think about you when I was with the band. But I was too scared about this feeling that I lost myself with the alcohol…” he sounds so miserable, vulnerable but he finally opens to me “I love you too James…”I turn around to look at him, his blue eyes studying me, I could see his happiness in them thanks to my words “ya’ do?” He asks “yes… but promise me you will let me help you to deal with your emotions and these alcohol problems” he smiles softly at my words, placing a kiss on my lips “I want you to help me Y/N, you are the only one that can do that”.
