Pieces of Me (11 page)

“You are a beautiful bride but I want you out of this dress. The only request I had from the designer was to make sure it had a zipper instead of buttons”

Davis ran his hands down the length of her back unzipping her dress along the way. It was strapless so he nipped and kissed her shoulders and any exposed skin his lips could make contact with. He always thought Nicole had a body that was made to worship. Tonight he was going to worship her. He kneeled down so that she could step out of her dress. Nicole stood there in only satiny panties, hose and a garter belt.

Davis used his teeth to pull her panties down until he could remove them with his hands. He slowly removed her hose trailing kisses down each of her beautiful legs. He looked up at her from his kneeling position. She was a sight to behold standing there completely naked. He saw the heat in her eyes and was thankful that he was the one who put it there.

The deliberateness of his movements as he kissed his way up her body was excruciating for both of them. Davis was so hard he could probably break glass. It was killing him but tonight he was going to take his time. He felt Nicole tremble as he kissed her inner thighs. He pressed his face into her sex and breathed deeply. The scent of her drove him crazy.

Nicole thought she was going to burst. She entwined her fingers into his hair. And, when his tongue darted out to caress her in her secret place, she couldn’t help but close her eyes and bask in the feeling. Still kneeling on the floor, Davis sat Nicole down on the bed before throwing her legs over his shoulders giving him better access. The pleasure was so intense that she had to lay back on her elbows. Davis allowed his tongue to explore her folds before thrusting it deeply into the cavern of her body. His tongue mimicked the rhythm of love making. He loved the taste of her and the sound of her moans.

Her body was on fire and she felt the beginning of an orgasm building. Davis inserted a finger inside of her as he continued his assault with his tongue. When he pushed the second finger inside of her and continued to plunge it in and out in a circular motion Nicole thought she would pass out from the pleasure. He drove his fingers inside of her as deeply as he could. The sensation was so intense Nicole almost came off of the bed.

Nicole had a sheen of perspiration covering her entire body. She was breathless “You feel so good Davis.”

“You taste so good.” Then he took her tight little bud inside of his mouth.

Nicole exploded into a million pieces. She spasmed around Davis’s tongue and he devoured all of her crème.

Davis quickly removed his clothing and kissed his way up her body. She opened her legs wider to accommodate his gorgeous physique. He kissed her stomach and licked his way up to her breast. He couldn’t decide what was his favorite part of her body and thank goodness he didn’t have to decide. Davis eagerly took her nipple into his mouth while kneading the other.

Nicole greedily ran her hands all over him. When she reached his hardness and wrapped her hands around him Davis released her breast and growled deep within his throat. He closed his eyes trying to calm himself. He put his forehead on hers. He wanted to go slow but Nicole was making it hard for him.

She was ready to feel the raw power of Davis inside of her. This time she kissed him and thrust her tongue inside of his mouth. She could still taste her essence on him. Nicole guided Davis to her entrance way. She rubbed his member against her slick folds and that was all it took for him to plunge deeply inside of her. But, instead of going hard and fast, he went painfully slow. Nicole wanted him to pound her. Davis had a different idea. He didn’t want to screw her. He wanted to make love to his wife. He pulled almost all the way out before pushing agonizingly slow back inside. It was taking an enormous amount of restraint to go so unhurried. He had beads of sweat covering him too. He penetrated her so deeply Nicole was about to lose her mind. When Davis looked in the mirror in the morning he was going to see all the scratch marks Nicole was leaving on his back. This was the most intense love making Nicole had ever experienced. She needed him to go harder and faster. Nicole reached down and grasped his sack. It was tight. She squeezed it just a little bit. That was enough to break Davis’s control. He surged into her hard and deep. He kept up a furious pace sliding in and out. The friction of him against her clit was amazing. Davis felt Nicole’s muscles start to contract around him. He knew he was going to come soon too.

“Davis. I’m coming!”

“I know baby. I feel it.” He kept going deep and hard, fast and hard, in and out, in and out until finally he erupted inside of her body.

Davis didn’t want to crush her so he rolled off and pulled her into the crook of his arms. He let her rest for a little while before starting round two. He had two months to make up for. It wasn’t until early morning before they fell into an exhaustive sleep.

Chapter 17

Davis had been back from his overseas trip for about two weeks. Since he had been back he’d made an effort to work from home a few days a week. Davis didn’t want to make the same mistakes with Nicole as he did with Anne. However, today he needed to go into the office. His team had run into a problem with one of their major accounts and Davis wanted to be present to work through those issues. It took them well into the evening before they got a handle on the problem. He’d made sure that he called Nicole to let her know he would be working late. She was disappointed but seemed to understand. It was nice coming home to her. Nicole seemed genuinely eager to hear about his day and for as different as they were, they had a lot in common. As much as he enjoyed getting to know her, he enjoyed their nights just that much more. Nicole was so passionate and not afraid to show him just how much she wanted him. They hadn’t been able to keep their hands off of one another. Davis smiled just thinking about her. He hadn’t been this at peace in a long time.

Everyone else had left for the night and Davis was ready to call it a night too until he got a call from the security in the building.

“Mr. Chatham, Ms. Mathews is here to see you.”

Davis paused “Um, send her up.” He had no idea what Anne could possibly want. Davis hadn’t spoken to her since they’d broken things off.

She rapped on the door “Davis are you busy?”

He stood up from behind his desk and waved her inside. He was surprised that when she walked into his office his heart still beat a little faster “Come on in Anne.”

“Thanks for letting me up.”

“Of course, please have a seat. How are you?”

Anne sat down slowly but spoke softly “I’m still pretty heartbroken but that’s neither here nor that at this point. I probably shouldn’t even be here but I had to come. Davis what’s going on at Chatham Industries?”

Davis didn’t like the sound of this “What do you mean?”

Anne reached into her purse and pulled out a document. She handed it to him. Davis took it from her and began reading it.

“
Dammit
. Have you gone to the police?”

“No! I can’t you read the letter. I wanted to talk to you first. The letter said if you didn’t back off and let ‘sleeping dogs sleep’ they’d hurt me or worse my family. Who are these people, what do they want, and why did they bring me into this?”

Tears started falling down her face “I’m scared and don’t know what to do.” The more Anne spoke the more hysterical she became. She jumped out of her chair and ran into his body. Automatically, Davis wrapped his arms around her. He hated to see her like this especially when this problem really had nothing to do with her. She’d been pulled into this madness because of him. Well, he would make sure no harm came to her. “You know I’ll do everything I can to protect you Anne. I’ll always care about what happens you.”

Nicole decided to surprise Davis and bring him dinner. She’d asked the security guard not to alert him that she was coming up because she wanted it to be a surprise. When Nicole arrived at the door it was slightly ajar. She thought she’d heard the sound of Anne’s voice. She’d never forget the sound of her voice from that night in the garden when she’d heard Davis tell her ‘he’d always love her’. Nicole froze. Then Davis declared “You know I’ll do everything I can to protect you Anne. I’ll always care about what happens to you.”

Nicole thought her heart was going to break into a million little pieces. She didn’t know if she should burst into the office and confront him or just go home. Before she could do anything Davis looked up and saw her standing in the doorway. He immediately dropped his arms from around Anne.

“Nicole what are you doing here?”

She straightened her back and refused to let them see how badly she was hurt “I thought I’d bring my husband dinner but I can see I came at a bad time.” Nicole turned to leave and starting walking back towards the elevator.

Davis bolted after her “Nicole wait.”

She kept walking until she made it to the elevators. Nicole stabbed the down button and just kept stabbing it hoping it would make the doors open faster.

“Wait dammit!”

“Wait for what Davis! We’ve only been married for a few weeks and you’re already running back to her?”

“That was not what it looked like.”

“Really? It looked like she was in your arms and that you were telling her you’d always care about her.”

“Nicole, you’ve got to trust me on this. It was not what it looked like. I didn’t do anything wrong I’m just trying to help a friend.”

Nicole looked at him incredulously. “Are you serious? A ‘friend’. That’s the best you’ve got! You’ve been pinning for Anne for years and you expect me to believe that?”

The elevator opened and Nicole remembered she was holding the bag with his dinner in it. She threw it on the floor, got on the elevator and pressed the down button. She wouldn’t allow the tears to well up in her eyes until after the doors closed.

Davis was so angry he wanted to hit something. While he was standing in the hall staring at the elevators, Anne stood back in his office and listened to the entire exchange. She couldn’t believe her luck. Anne couldn’t have planned this out better if she’d tried. Thank goodness, she was still friends with Davis’s personal assistant. Otherwise, when she’d called her last week to find out about his schedule, she wouldn’t have gotten the scoop that someone was stealing company secrets and selling them to some unsavory characters. That’s when her plan started to take shape. Add to it, that little Ms. Nicole was the jealous type. Well, she was definitely going to give her something to be jealous about. Her plan to win Davis back might just be easier than she’d originally thought.

Davis returned to his office.

“I’m so sorry Davis. I hope I didn’t cause any trouble because that is the last thing I wanted to do.”

“It’s not your fault. She’ll cool off after a while. Look, leave those documents with me and I’ll get started on trying to untangle you from this mess. I’ll be adding extra security to you. I’ll call you with the details.”

“Thank you so much.” Anne kissed him on the cheek. She lingered awhile around his mouth hoping he’d kiss her deeply. When he didn’t, she slowly turned around, smiled, and walked out of his office. Davis thought about kissing her but couldn’t do that to Nicole. She didn’t deserve it. Maybe he’d better give her some time to cool off before he went home. Then, he thought better of it, shut down his computer, and left the office.

Chapter 18

When Davis opened the door to their bedroom, Nicole was already in bed with her back turned to him.

“I know you’re not sleeping. Do you think we can talk rationally about what happened tonight?”

“I was NOT being irrational.”

“There is nothing going on between Anne and me. She came to me for help with a problem. I was comforting her Nicole. That’s all.”

Nicole sat up, “Why you? Can’t she find someone else to help her? How would you feel if you’d walked in on me and one of my exes Davis?”

Davis yanked off his shirt and tie. “Nicole, I’m not going to explain to you again about what happened tonight. You can either believe it or not. At this point, it is your choice and you’re going to have to figure out how to deal with it. I’m tired and I’m going to bed.”

*****

Two days had gone by without either of them really speaking to one another. Davis spent long days and nights at work trying to avoid the situation. On the third day, he’d had enough. He needed to figure out how to make things right with Nicole. He hadn’t realized how stubborn she could be and thought she’d crack by now. She was right, if he’d walked in on her in another man’s arms he would have strangled the guy to death. Davis smiled to himself and picked up the phone to call the florist. He had some serious groveling to do.
