34. Happy
Gene swallows hard. Just when he thinks he is getting to know her, Olivia shows him even more of herself. There is a playful side come out right now that blindsides him completely. Yes, he's done it in a car before and he has never been shocked at any kind of sexual suggestion a woman makes. But this is Olivia. She knows perfectly well she has finally managed to unsettle him and the little lights that are dancing in her eyes make his heart flutter and his stomach tremble. Visions of her naked body against his in the back of the rental flash before his eyes, but he can't. Not here. Not now. This isn't his car.
Olivia's laughter fills the car and he laughs with her, even if he has no idea what she's going to say next.
"Relax Gene. I don't mean right now," she chuckles, but the look in her eyes tells him that she would be up for some fun if he was.
"This isn't my car," he says with a slightly hoarse voice and she puts a hand on his arm reassuringly.
"Another time," she promises him and he nods eagerly at the suggestion. "Now please keep your eyes on the road."
He grins and obeys, steering them into East 77th street. They're almost at the apartment building on the corner of East 77th and 2nd avenue.
He watches Olivia when he parks in front of the tall building to see her reaction to the surroundings.
"There's a parking garage across the street," he tells her, pointing to their left. "We can check it out if you want."
"No, this is fine," she tells him quickly as she gets ready to exit the car.
It's a one-way street with parking on both sides, and Gene knows they are very lucky to get a spot at all this time of day. Olivia doesn't know it yet, but the penthouse comes with their own spot in the parking garage across the street, for her black Mustang or a new car; whichever she prefers. He quickly gets out of the car as well and they walk up to the building. Gene uses his keycard to open the door to the lobby and guides Olivia to the elevators.
"Both go all the way up to the penthouse, but only with this keycard," he explains as they get into one of the two elevators.
He scans the card and then presses the penthouse button. He smiles when he sees some apprehension on Olivia's face. She forces a smile of her own but she doesn't seem to like the small space very much. He moves closer to her and pulls her against his chest, kissing the top of her head. He feels her relax, and just seconds later, they arrive on the top floor.
…
The view from the apartment is stunning and Olivia finds it hard to imagine actually living here, in such a luxurious place. The kitchen may very well be the most modest room in this place, although it's larger than what she has now and is fitted with all the modern conveniences she could ever ask for. The men who are doing maintenance on the roof and are tending to the plumbing inside the apartment, try to stay out of their way but Olivia has to step over some of their equipment a few times. Gene grabs her hand and shows her around proudly. There are three bedrooms and as many bathrooms, but only one bathroom has a bathtub and a double sink.
"Do you like it?" Gene asks her eagerly, still holding her hand.
She smiles at him.
"It's all a little surreal to be honest," she tells him.
"Well, there's no rush whatsoever. I already own the building, remember? This won't be rented out again until I give permission."
Olivia nods and looks around again. They stroll from the bathroom back to the master bedroom. The room is empty but even without furniture, it breathes a kind of luxury Olivia has never had in her life.
"My place would fit inside the living room," she muses and Gene rubs her back gently.
"I'm not asking you to turn your life upside down for me, Olivia," he says softly and she turns into him to look into his kind eyes. "If you want to hang on to your own place for a while longer, I'll understand. I'd offer to pay your rent but something tells me you wouldn't want that."
He's right. She wouldn't want him to pay her rent. She doesn't want to be a kept woman. She's always treasured her independence. But she also knows that is she is serious about sharing her life with Gene from now on, something will have to give. And this apartment is amazing. There is even a nook in the living area where Gene plans to set up his home office. It says on the floorplan that it's the breakfast nook, but the dining area will do just fine for breakfast as well. She walks through the living room and opens the door to the main terrace. They walk outside together to admire the view and Gene wraps his arms around her from behind. He kisses her cheek and Olivia feels a sense of contentment wash over her that is so alien to her that she feels a lump forming in her throat. She tries to keep breathing normally but naturally, Gene senses that her demeanor has changed, even without seeing her face. He can read her body like a book in every way.
"Are you alright?" he asks her, loosening his grip on her.
Olivia knows he probably wants her to turn around in his arms, but she doesn't want him to see her on the verge of tears. And so she nods.
"Show me."
"What?"
"Show me you're alright. Look at me."
The urgency in his voice tells her he doesn't mean to give her orders; he's just worried.
"I'm just a little overwhelmed," she says, still not facing him. But when he grabs her arm and nudges her, she finally gives in and turns around.
Gene looks into her eyes, searching for clues and she smiles up at him, hoping to reassure him.
"Tell me what you're thinking honey. If this is too much too fast, we'll slow down. I promise."
Her love for him overrides her fears once again and helps her to try to put into words what she's feeling.
"Gene … it's just … I've never felt like this before. Ever. I don't even know what to call it."
Gene pulls her a little closer and kisses her forehead.
"Could it be … happiness maybe?"
She swallows and her chin begins to tremble unexpectedly because he's right. When she doesn't say anything but just stares at him, Gene leans in slowly. Once he is satisfied that she won't pull away, he kisses her softly on the lips. Olivia lets out a sound that resembles a sob when she falls against him and returns the kiss. Gene anchors her to him and she feels like she can finally let go. Their kiss intensifies and when they finally come up for air, there are tears on his cheeks as well as hers. She has no idea whose tears they are but it doesn't really matter. She sucks her bottom lip between her teeth and nods.
"Yeah?" Gene asks, his voice raspy and hopeful.
"Yeah."
"For real?"
His face lights up and his joy is infectious.
"For real," she confirms, now smiling too. "We'll just … let's take our time to get this place ready. I'll keep mine for now so no more hotel rooms."
Gene's grin widens.
"No more hotel rooms, I promise."
"Alright then. Let's do this."
Gene laughs out loud now, picks her up and turns them around twice before het sets her down again.
"I love you so much. I don't wanna rush you but I feel like I finally have what I've always been looking for so …"
"I understand. It's scary but I feel it too."
"Tell me what you feel," Gene asks and she knows he needs the constant confirmation as much as she does.
"I feel … happy."
They kiss again and suddenly Olivia can't wait to get her man back to her apartment. And once they've furnished this one … oh, the possibilities.
…
Gene closes his eyes. His entire body is humming and he groans softly. Olivia's mouth had been one of the first things he noticed when they had first met and it will be the death of him yet. He can still hardly believe he will have her, just like this, from now on and forever. She's moving in with him and her happy tears had made him happy too. And now she's determined to give him a proper thanks for finding them the penthouse and for giving her all the time she needs to adjust. He has told her she doesn't ever need to thank him for anything but how can he pass this up?
Her full lips have traveled his entire body and every nerve ending is on high alert, wondering where she will strike next. She has blindfolded him and he thinks it is sexy as hell. He isn't tied up but he's holding on to the headboard of her bed just so he can heed her request not to touch her. He is spread out for her in complete surrender and she doesn't betray his trust.
She hovers over him and he thinks he can feel her nipples scrape his abdomen when she slowly licks and sucks his nipples one by one. His cock keeps jumping up and he thinks it's hitting her thigh this time. Or is it her knee?
He keeps hoping she will drape her warm body over his and then she wraps her lips around his full blown erection again and his eyes roll back in their sockets. Now he doesn't know what he prefers but it doesn't matter, since it isn't up to him. Not this time. He has given Olivia full control and she doesn't disappoint. He croaks her name and hears her chuckle, her hot breath hitting his stomach now. She is moving down again and he holds his breath. His hips thrust up involuntarily when he suddenly feels her lips wrap around one of his balls. She massages the tender flesh with her tongue while she sucks very gently, making sure she doesn't hurt him. She moves to his other ball and he thinks he feels her breast on his knee.
"Liv," he croaks again.
"You like that, baby?" she asks him and she clearly knows he does.
She sits up on her knees between his legs now and moves her hands underneath his ass cheeks. His breath hitches again. He has and idea what's coming next.
He can't believe how deeply she's taking him in. He hears her hum and moan and the fact that she is enjoying it so much makes him even harder if that's possible. He wishes he could see her but it will have to be another time. He just holds on to the headboard and tries not to thrust up too far for her comfort. But he's beginning to lose control and Olivia shows no signs of stopping this time. She's going to finish him off and he opens his legs wider for her. No woman has ever made him give up control like Olivia does now and he is reeling.
Olivia's moans and grunts spur him on. She's going to let him come in her mouth? He isn't sure but he decides he doesn't have to know. She knows exactly what she's doing to him. She can read his body like he can read hers. He doesn't have to worry about her; she is in full control of herself as well as him. And at that thought, he is able to relax in the most amazing way, giving his body permission to bend to Olivia's will completely. He is rewarded with an orgasm like he's never experienced before. It is there suddenly, burning through his veins and making his body convulse. He tightens his grip on the headboard but the rest of his body feels like it's free-falling. All his senses register anymore is this all-consuming pleasure Olivia is giving him and he is drowning in her while she takes all he can give her and swallows it effortlessly.
When his body finally stops shaking, she releases him gently, places a soft kiss on his tip and then slides up his body until she is completely stretched out on top of him. She reaches up and unties his blindfold and he finally lowers his arms to wrap them around her shoulders. He is speechless and he can see in her eyes that she knows. She rests her head on his shoulder and kisses his jaw. He knows he will want to return the favor shortly but he needs a few minutes. She understands. She knows he will never leave her hanging. He kisses her temple and she relaxes against him. She's happy because he's happy and he is happy because she is. It's all he's ever wanted.
