Chapter Seven

~Almost Paradise~

"I deal with temptation by yielding to it" ~Mark Twain

CPOV

After my shift was over, I stopped home to shower and grab some clothes, then headed to the bar. I couldn't wait to have her all to myself for two days. I was really hoping to get to know her on a deeper level. Mainly, I just couldn't wait to explore every inch of her incredible body.

I walked in and sat down. Emily immediately greeted me. We both smiled as Issy approached us.

"Hey, why are you sitting on this end?" she asked.

"I didn't want to bother you when you're working," I answered.

"Ahh. I see," she said smiling. "How was work?"

"Boring, working in a Pediatric Hospital is very low key, it's just emotionally stressful."

"You can tell me all about it later. I'll leave you in the capable hands of Emily," she stated and then winked at me.

"Behave," I heard her whisper to Emily as she walked by her.

Emily giggled as she placed my gin and tonic down in front of me, "Here you go, Doc."

"Thanks," I answered as I watched her sexy ass while she walked away.

Emily was good company, but I just couldn't wait until closing time. I noticed a young man approach Issy at the bar. I recognized him from the picture in her apartment. A wave of jealousy crashed through me. I knew she didn't have romantic feelings for him, but he had them for her.

I sat and watched the exchange between them; I could tell by their body language that whatever was being said was intense. He placed his glass down and turned and walked towards the door. I couldn't help but watch him and size up my competition. Our eyes met, and he stared me down until he walked out the door. The look on his face spoke volumes. He wasn't giving up on her. What have I gotten myself into? If I were to be honest with myself, I knew, deep down, he would be the right person for her. He was young and could give her everything I couldn't.

Emily clearing her throat brought me back to earth. "Last call doc," she said.

"I would love another and make it a double, please."

Within thirty minutes, everyone was gone and Issy and I were sitting in her living room and I was telling her about my day at the hospital. I wanted to ask her about Edward, but I knew it really wasn't my place to do so.

"How was the rest of your day?" I asked.

"Boring," she said as she crawled onto my lap and straddled me. "No more talking," she whispered before she placed her lips on mine and unbuttoned my shirt.

I moaned in her mouth as our tongues tangled and our hands explored each other's bodies. I had her shirt and bra off in minutes. My hands massaged her breasts as I kissed down her neck. She rubbed grinded into me causing my cock to get even harder. I wanted to feel her wrapped around me so badly. I kissed my way down to her perfects tits, teasing them with my mouth one at a time.

"God, I need you! Bed...," she moaned as I sucked on her nipple.

We both stumbled down the small hallway towards her room as we continued to kiss and undress each other. We finally tumbled onto her bed naked. Her hand was wrapped around my cock, as my fingers found her heat.

"You're so wet," I groaned.

"Just fuck me! Fuck me hard," she begged as she pushed me off of her.

I lay there momentarily shocked before I saw that she was in the middle of her bed wiggling her ass on her hands and knees.

"You're such a temptress," I groaned.

She reached into her night stand and handed me a condom; I tore it opened and rolled it down my hard cock. I positioned my tip at her entrance.

"Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrist," she cried, as I filled her hard and fast with one thrust.

"You like that?" I asked her as I continued to pull almost all the way out and then slam back in, filling her completely each time.

"God, Carl," she moaned as she pushed her body into me.

"I love the way your body feels wrapped around my cock. I'm so close," I groaned as my fingers started rubbing her clit.

She started to shake and fell onto her elbows, allowing me to go deeper.

"Fuck Issy," I panted. "Your... is heaven."

"My what Carl? My what is heaven?" she asked in a sexy deep voice.

Was she baiting me? Did she want me to talk dirty? "Your pussy, your warm, wet, tight pussy," I purred.

"Fuuuck..., ohhhhhhhh... God," she cried as her orgasm claimed her.

I chanted her name over and over as my release took over my body.

My mind was spinning; I couldn't believe the things I was saying to her. She brought this primal side out of me that I didn't know I had.

We finally stilled our movements, and I slowly pulled out of her. My body fell beside her; we were both panting and sweaty. I quickly discarded the condom and pulled her toward me.

"Now, that's what I call a work out," I snickered as I kissed her neck.

She let out a laugh. "Not bad for an old man."

I laughed. "You're only as old as you feel, and you my dear make me feel twenty-five again."

With my arms wrapped tightly around her, I drifted off to sleep.

I woke Sunday morning and found her still fast asleep. I carefully got off the bed, so I wouldn't disturb her. I found my clothes and got dressed. I needed coffee and the paper. I was a creature of habit.

On the way back from the store I stopped at a bakery to get something sweet for breakfast, not knowing what she likes to eat, I selected some cinnamon rolls, assorted muffins, and a few different danishes.

I arrived back at her apartment to find her still sound asleep. I placed the coffee, baked goods, and my paper down on the table. I wondered if I should wake her or not. I decided to let her sleep and settled down at the table to read the paper.

I heard her clear her throat. I looked up to see Issy smiling at me. She looked sexy as hell wearing a tan robe that ended mid-thigh, and her hair was everywhere.

"Morning, I went out to get some coffee and breakfast," I said, as my eyes roamed her body.

"You like what you see?" she asked as she sat down next to me.

"You have no idea," I answered willing my erection to calm down. "When I was out I stopped at the bakery."

"Thanks. I could use some coffee. What did you get at the bakery?"

She looked adorable I handed her the bag. "I didn't know what you would like so bought a variety."

She grabbed a cinnamon roll. I watched as she brought it to her lips; she let out a small moan as she bit into it.

My dick twitched at the sound of her small moans. What the hell was wrong with me? I couldn't tell you the last time I actually had sex before Bella, and right now all I could think of was those lips wrapped around my cock. She looked at me and smiled. It was like she knew what I was thinking.

"So Doc, what would you like to do today?" she asked with a huge smile on her face as she sipped her coffee.

"That's a loaded question, my dear Issy," I replied.

She got up and sat on my lap. "Let me rephrase the question. After we take a long shower, what would you like to do?"

Images of her wet flooded my mind, and I groaned. "It's a beautiful day, let's go to the marina," I suggested as my hand started to roam her body. "We can make some sandwiches and have a picnic down there. I just need to stop by my place and grab my camera."

"Sounds perfect, but why do you need your camera?"

"I love taking pictures; it's a passion of mine. I've wanted to go to the marina for weeks and snap some pictures. I've just been so busy that I never could find the time."

"How long have you been into photography?" she asked.

"Just a little over a year. I kept me sane during the divorce."

She nodded. "Sounds like we have a plan, but first would the sexy doctor care to join me in the shower?" she purred.

"Yes," I answered her as my hand slide from her thigh up to her sex.

After an incredibly long shower, we were dressed and in her kitchen. She was making sandwiches while I was hunting through her cupboards and fridge to find some snacks for our picnic. Issy grabbed a blanket, and we were out the door.

We stopped at the store for some beer and then headed to my place. She stayed in the car because she was on the phone with her aunt. I guess there would be time to show her my place another day. I quickly grabbed my camera, and we were finally headed to the marina.

Surrounded by the beauty, I couldn't help but take few pictures of the sky and some of Issy. She was just as beautiful as the landscape in my eyes. She laid out the blanket under a tree, placed the cooler down next to it, and handed me my sandwich.

After we finished eating I grabbed two beers out of the cooler and joined her back on the blanket so we could talk.

"Tell me about yourself?" I asked.

"There's not much to tell," she said shrugging her shoulders. "I work at a bar, and I have no idea what I want to do with my life," she answered quickly.

"I know that already. I was hoping you could tell me about you. Where did you live before college? What was your childhood like?"

She stiffened instantly at my questions and sat up. "Look, if you want to get to know me better you can ask anything of a non-personal nature and I'll answer it."

I placed my hand under her chin and lifted it so I could look her in the eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"Sorry, I'm just not ready to go there. I'm not that girl," she whispered as she pulled away from me.

"That's fine; no more questions," I said feeling defeated.

She smiled and lay back down on the blanket. I moved closer to her, and I could see her body relax. I leaned down slowly, searching her eyes for any hint of doubt, finding none I gently placed my lips on hers. I longed to get to know her, to unravel the mystery that is her, but I guess I would have to take what she was willing give for the time being.

We spent the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening asking each other 'safe' questions, like what's our favorite color, food, rock band, and movie. I was just happy to learn anything about her.

We stopped for pizza on our way home. I noticed a man on the other side of the restaurant with a bunch of guys watching the game staring at us. I was pretty sure it was Edward. I know I had no reason to be jealous; she after all was with me.

After we ate I paid the bill and was happy to be out from under his watchful eyes. Soon, we were back at Issy's, watching a movie and cuddling on her sofa. Halfway through the movie I couldn't take it anymore, and I let my hands roam her body. Her body responded instantly as small moans escaped her mouth.

"Carl," she sighed as my hand slid under her shirt and cupped her breasts.

"I want to feel you, all of you," I whispered into her ear then sucked on her lobe.

"Fuck, the movie," she said as she stood up. She took her shirt and bra off and tossed them to the side. Her eyes never leaving mine. "Are you coming?" she asked as she turned and walked toward her room.

My cock was instantly hard. "God, yes," I groaned as I got up and followed her.

We spent the next few hours enjoying each other's bodies. We finally collapsed and I watched her drift off to sleep in my arms. My mind went into overdrive. In a short time, she has come to mean so much to me. Why won't she open up to me? Would a relationship with me take away the life she deserved to have? Then, there was the voice in the back of my head telling me that this was wrong, she should be with someone younger, someone like him. I knew I was being selfish by wanting her; but in this moment as I held her naked body to mine, I really didn't care about anything else.
