From the Water (2 page)

She shuddered. There was no way she could gain control over her emotions with him around, tempting her.

A loud
whoosh
from the corner of the room startled Bonnie. She gasped. The main pipe broke, sending a torrent of water across the room. Backing up out of the spray, she grabbed Dirk’s arm.

“Go. You must get out of here.” She pushed him, but he didn’t move.

“I’m not leaving you.” He glanced over his shoulder, shook his head, and turned back around. “We need to get this shut off or it’ll flood the whole room.”

“I know. I know.” She tugged at his shirt. “You have to leave. I can’t have you here. Please, just go.”

He stepped onto the steps and paused.

“Now!” She pointed her finger. “You can’t be around me.”

“But the water…” He frowned.

She wrapped her arms around her waist. “I can handle the water. It’s you. You are making it worse.”

Dirk’s shoulders rose with his next breath. He turned and sprinted up the stairs.

I’m sorry.

Bonnie sat down on the second step, cradled her head in her hands, and closed her eyes.

“Oh Goddess of water, please settle me down.

Stop this mess, before I drown.

I’m outta control, in…over my head.

Please bless me, and listen to what I said.”

Chapter Four

Scooting the towels with her feet along the floor of the kitchen, Bonnie held the cordless phone to her ear. “That’s what I’m telling you. He
is
the one.” She threw up her hand. “No, you don’t understand, Alexis. He was here, but I had to send him away.”

She bent over, threw the towels down the basement steps, and laid two more on the floor. “I don’t think he will come back. He was going fishing with his brother when I invited him over. He might not even live around here.”

The doorbell rang.

“Hang on, someone’s at the door. Maybe I got lucky and the plumber was able to come today instead of tomorrow.” Bonnie hurried to the front door.

She placed the phone against her hip, swung the door open, and squealed. “You came back.”

“I can’t just walk away.” He glanced over her shoulder. “Is it safe to come in?”

She inhaled. “It is now. There should be no more leaks.” The corner of her mouth lifted, and she stepped back, allowing him to enter.

Dirk glanced at her hand. “I’m sorry. I interrupted your phone call.”

“Oh!” She lifted the phone to her ear again. “Alexis.” Bonnie grinned. “Yes, that’s him.” She nodded her head. “I love you too, sis.”

She hung up the phone, setting it back on the charger in the living room. “Let me pick up the towels, and we can talk. I think I’ve got all the water cleaned up.” She glanced over at him. “You changed your clothes?”

“Yeah.” He rubbed his stomach. “The car’s working, and I was able to go down to the gas station on the corner and use their restroom.”

“Good. Good.” She swallowed. The silence overwhelmed her. This was her man. The one the Goddess picked out especially for her. She didn’t want to chitchat or spend time getting to know him better. That would all come later, after they had kick-ass sex.

“Bon—”

“Dirk—”

They both laughed. She smiled. The tension between them broke, and she was able to breathe again.

“You go first.” He leaned against the kitchen counter.

Knowing they were bound together, she stepped in front of him. She walked her fingers up the front of his shirt and fisted her hands in the material. “I want you.”

A slow smile spread across his face. “Baby, you don’t have to ask twice. Where’s your bedroom.”

She shook her head. “No. Too far.” She lifted the hem of her shirt, stripped it off, and then hurried to take off her jeans. “Right here.” With a toss of her head, she flipped her hair down her back, turned, and bent over, placing her hands on the floor. She gazed over her shoulder. “Hurry Dirk, I want it hard and fast.”

Dirk unzipped his jeans, pushed them down over his hips, and lifted his shirt. Fisting the base of his engorged cock, he stepped forward and ran the head along her slit. She moaned and rocked back.

“Please…”

He plunged into her wet pussy with a low, satisfied groan. “Shit. You are so tight.”

Unable to hold still, Bonnie pushed back on him, fully impaling herself onto his cock. She squealed. The slight touch of his balls on her clit flooded her lower body with warmth. Intense pleasure touched every hidden spot deep inside her pussy.

“Oh yes!” She tossed her hair and arched her neck.

He held on to her hip with one hand, reached out, and grasped a handful of her curls. “That’s it, baby. Take it all.” Without letting go, he plunged all the way into her cunt, then slowly withdrew his cock, only to thrust his length back in again. “Come for me, baby. Milk the cum out of my dick.”

His movements sped up. Bonnie’s legs shook. Her pussy rippled and spasmed around his cock, and she flew over the edge into an orgasm that left her bucking against him.

He let go of her hair. His hands dug into her hips as he sank his dick fully inside her. Grinding himself against her ass with a satisfying release, he held her close. Her head fell forward, and she would have fallen to the floor if not for Dirk’s hold on her waist. Her body relaxed and sated, she had no strength to straighten up.

“Come here, baby.” He pulled her against him, wrapped his arms around her waist, and snuggled her back against his front. “This is going to sound crazy, but I never want to let you go.” He kissed the side of her neck. “I want to stay here and make love to you every way that you ask for it. Fast, slow, gentle, rough.”

Bonnie turned around and slipped her arms around his neck. “Yes. I want the same thing. In the house, outside on the ground…” She shuddered, her body growing stronger. “In the water. I want to have sex with you in every imaginable place we can think of together. Stay with me.” She ran her hand down his cheek.

He laid his forehead on the top of her head. “Damn.” His shoulders sagged.

“What?” She pulled her head back to gaze at him. “Don’t you want to?”

He shook his head. “It’s not that. I promised my brother I’d go with him on this fishing trip. I’m already running behind because of the radiator hose that busted in the car and then the fiasco here.” He grimaced. “I can’t disappoint him.”

She stepped back. “I understand.” Her chest tightened. She didn’t want to part, but the Goddess would bring him back. That was a fact. “It’s OK. Go fishing with your brother. You wouldn’t want to miss that kind of opportunity.”

The front door opened, and Bonnie’s head whipped around to the kitchen door. “Darn it. I should have known Alexis and Carly would barge in.”

Dirk fastened his jeans and ran his hands across his stomach. “Don’t you want to get dressed before they come in here and wonder what’s up?”

She laughed. “Why? They know what I look like naked. Plus, they know I’m old enough to have sex.”

“Bonnie! You home?” Alexis walked into the kitchen, stopped, and took in the both of them. “Well, congratulations, sis.”

“Thank you.” She flew into Alexis’s arms and whispered, “I have been so blessed. Isn’t he incredible?”

Carly entered the room, took one glance at Dirk, screamed, and joined her sisters in a group hug. “Your man came.”

“Of course he did.” Bonnie turned to Dirk. “Dirk, these are my sisters, Alexis and Carly.”

“Whoa…triplets.” He shook his head, chuckling. “Hi. It’s nice to meet…all of you.” He stepped over to Bonnie. “Babe, may I use your phone. I left my cell phone in the car.”

“Sure. There’s one in the living room and another down at the end of the hall if you wish to talk privately. I’ll talk to my sisters and get dressed.” She moved over to grab her shirt off the counter.

Dirk left the kitchen. Bonnie sighed, her gaze following him.

“What’s wrong?” Alexis set down her bag.

Bonnie shrugged her shoulders. “He’s leaving.”

“What?” Both her sisters spoke in unison. “Why?”

“It’s OK. I’m fine with it…really.” She sniffed. “He’ll come back, right? Max came back to Carly, and the Goddess always answers our spells.” Her shoulders shook, and her lower lip popped out. “Oh damn. I don’t want to cry. I’m so happy. This is the best day of my life.” She leaned back against the counter.

“He
will
come back, just you watch.” Carly handed Bonnie her pants. “Now put these on and wipe your eyes. You don’t want him to see how much this hurts you.”

She nodded and finished dressing. “Thanks. I don’t know what I’d do without the two of you.”

Dirk cleared his throat, stepped past Alexis and Carly, and stood beside her. “Bonnie?”

Raising her head, she gave him a shaky smile.

“Are you OK?” He swept his thumb beneath her eye. “You’re crying.”

She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her cheek against his chest. “I will never, ever forget today.”

He stroked the back of her head. “Don’t cry. I fixed it so we won’t have to be apart. I talked with my brother.” His hand stilled. “He says there is plenty of room on the boat. How would you like to come out on the water and go fishing?”

She pushed him away from her. “Get outta here!” She covered her cheeks, smiling. “Are you kidding me? Yes! Of course I’ll go with you. You have no idea how much I love the water.” Her laughter filled the room.
