Chapter 13: Sugar

I'm hurting, baby, I'm broken down
I need your loving, loving
I need it now
When I'm without you
I'm something weak
You got me begging, begging
I'm on my knees
I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away, ooh, baby,
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste

Bonnie

All I could think about was the time I'd spent in the park with Enzo. After the hot interlude, we'd settled down on the grass and he'd held me close while I slept. Yes, I'd dozed off on him, but who would blame me? I'd been exhausted, having worried about him the previous night, I'd hadn't slept and then after the orgasm he'd given me. That was – wow.

Enzo had let me sleep for a couple of hours, then woke me up with sweet kisses all over my face.

I smiled at the memory – so sweet.

"What has that smile on your face or should I ask who?"

Matt! I turned and saw him watching me from the doorway into the bedroom.

"So, you decided to come back."

He walked further into the room and stopped dead when he saw my pile of shoe boxes and suitcases.

"What's going on, Bonnie? You moving out?"

I sat on the bed and he walked over to sit beside me. "Yes. Our relationship has been over for a while now and I know you have someone else."

He looked startled. "Bonnie, I don't know what to say. I tried to keep my friendship with her just that, but along the way it turned into something else. I'm sorry. You don't deserve that from me. You don't seem too upset though?"

"I'm sad that after all the years we've been together it's come to this. But in all honesty, I actually feel relieved. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but I can't help the way I feel."

"Where will you go? I take it you're not kicking me out?" he asked, taking hold of my hand.

"I'm looking at an apartment tomorrow so hopefully I'll move out tomorrow evening." I sighed in relief.

The time was getting on, so I stood to retrieve my cowboy boots that matched my above-the-knee sundress. I'd left my hair down and added more curl to it. I was planning to leave Enzo speechless.

"Bonnie, would you mind if I still came with you as your guest at the picnic?" I looked at him and frowned. "Our company was sent invitations, but there are two other people the boss wanted to attend. At the time you were my girlfriend, so I told him he could use my invitation as I was going with you anyway."

"Okay, but do not introduce me as such," I said. Matt looked startled with my response, but grabbed his clothes and headed into the bathroom.

While Matt had a quick shower, I made my way through to the lounge and collapsed onto the sofa. That went a lot better than I thought it would. Perhaps Matt actually felt the same relief I did. He wasn't usually so calm about things he wanted. Part of me was sad to realize he didn't want me anymore. I was feeling sorry for myself, which was ridiculous because I had Enzo waiting for me.

Why did I have no shyness with Enzo, who I'd known for just over two weeks, but I'd always held myself back with Matt? It just didn't make any sense.

The bathroom door opened, so I dragged myself out of the daydream I was in and walked to the sideboard to collect my purse.

I could hardly wait to see Enzo again. I'd missed him last night, it was going to be hard at the picnic not being able to be with him. I just hoped we got the chance to dance together.

"You ready to go, Bonnie?" Matt asked me as he walked out of the bedroom.

"Yeah, as ready as I'll ever be." I followed Matt from the apartment, down the stairs and out of the building to his car, which he managed to park directly in front.

He opened the door and waited for me to get settled before he shut it then ran around to climb into the driver's' seat. He didn't put the key into the ignition. He sat for a few seconds before he turned to look at me. "Bonnie, are you going to be all right?"

"If all this was sudden, then I would probably answer in the negative, but it wasn't. So yes, I'll be alright. I love my new job and I've met some good people there, as well as made some new friends. Part of me is sad that what we had is over, but even though you cheated on me, for god knows how long, I will still remember our time together fondly. You've been there for all the good and the bad that has happened in my life and I won't ever forget that, but it's time for us both to move on."

We sat there for a minute or two before Matt finally put the key into the ignition and pulled away.

Enzo

Standing in the shade at my parents ranch, I watched everyone arrive with their partners and children, and it made me feel lonely as hell. I wanted Bonnie to be with me, standing beside me. Since her very soon-to-be ex had no idea about us or the fact that Bonnie was moving out, she'd asked me to be patient for one more day. It wasn't what I wanted to do, but I'd agreed. One more day couldn't hurt, right?

"Bro, what are you doing hiding over here?" Damon questioned.

"I'm not hiding. It's hot," I replied, then drained the beer in my hand.

He laughed.

"You two pussy's having your own party?" Mason asked as he walked around the corner with Tyler and Stefan.

"No, Lorenzo was hiding out here," Damon announced, then got out of hitting range.

"I was not hiding. I was having a quiet drink before I have to be social." I took the bottle of beer Tyler offered me and gulped about half of the bottle down.

"Are there going to be any hot chicks here today?" Damon asked.

"They're all married," I replied, causing Stefan to choke on his beer.

"Not all are married. Wait until you meet his assistant." I was going to kill Stefan.

Damon paused mid-drink and looked at me. "Well Lorenzo, you've been keeping a secret," he looked to Stefan, "how hot?"

He looked at me then back to Damon. "Curves, lots of them. Long, dark, curly hair and boobs to fill…."

"You better stop right there," I told Stefan when I actually felt like using my fist.

"It would seem that the hot assistant is already spoken for," Mason commented.

"If you'd seen them in the car after Enzo's accident, you'd have no doubt," then he grinned. "In fact, I'd ask him what they got up to while locked in the hospital room."

Mason choked on his beer, while Tyler and Damon just stood looking at me. Fuck.

"What?" I asked. There was no way I planned to get into a discussion with my brothers about Bonnie.

"You've been on your own for six years. You've finally hooked up with someone and you don't plan on telling us, is that right?" Mason asked.

I put my beer to my mouth and froze. Bonnie was walking in my direction, on her own, and she looked sexy as hell. The sun was behind her, which made her dress transparent. She took my breath away.

"Who the fuck is that?" I came back to my senses at Damon's comment and realized all four of my brothers were standing with me, staring at her. Bonnie looked up and stopped when she saw the lot of us just standing there, probably with our tongues down to our knees.

"Lorenzo, don't just stand there, go and claim your girl." My mother's words brought me back to my senses.

"She's mine. You four can keep your hands to yourselves," I growled out.

As I started to walk towards Bonnie her whole face lit up. I heard my mother sigh behind me and a few snickers, not to mention Damon, who made a comment under his breath.

Before I wrapped Bonnie up in my arms, I quickly looked around for Matt and saw him disappear around the barn with his boss's daughter.

Standing in front of her, I took her face into my hands. "You're stunning. Hell, I think I'm going to have to beat my brothers up for looking at you and drooling!" I bent down and kissed her gently on the lips. "I've missed you."

She placed her hands on my hips and threaded her fingers through the belt loops on my jeans, then pulled me close, before she sealed her lips to mine.

As soon as our mouths touched, I slipped my tongue inside and fused it with hers. Our bodies started to melt together when I heard more than one throat being cleared behind me. With reluctance, I pulled my mouth from Bonnie's and met her eyes. She licked her lips, which dragged a groan out of me.

"You're going to kill me today, you know that?" I breathed heavily and dreaded having to introduce her to my brothers.

A quick glance over my shoulder confirmed what I already knew. They were standing where I'd left them, but in a line, to meet my woman.

Bonnie followed my gaze and started to laugh. "Come on, introduce me to your other two brothers."

"Do I have to?" God, could I sound any more pathetic. CEO here, not idiot!

Bonnie slipped her hand into mine and gave a slight tug to get me moving. "I told Matt I'm moving out and about the apartment I plan on looking at tomorrow. He seemed…. okay I guess. Which was a relief."

"About the apartment…."

"Hey, get over here and share," Damon shouted.

Bonnie laughed and walked towards my mother, who held her arms out to her. "Bonnie, it's so good to see you again."

"It's good to see you again too, Lillian." My mother pulled away and threaded her arm through Bonnie's to introduce her to my brothers. Why she needed to be introduced to those idiots was beyond me.

"Bonnie, you already know Stefan and Tyler, so this here is Damon, you may want to stay away from him."

As Stefan roared with laughter, he received a dirty look from our mother. She then moved on to Mason.

Because of his accident, Mason was badly scarred, from the tips of his fingers, up the back of his right arm, along the back of his shoulder and part of his side and back. I was nervous for her to meet him because he would test her and if she failed he'd be cold, which would probably upset her, and then I'd have to hit him.

"Bonnie, this is my eldest son, Mason." Bonnie held her hand out to him and of course he held his right hand out to her. She looked down and then back up to his face before she took his hand, wrapped her fingers around his as they shook hands. Mason was surprised.

"I'm not afraid of you, Mason," Bonnie told him.

"I like you. Next time I'm in the city, we can grab a coffee together and I'll tell you all about Enzo."

No way was that happening.

"I would like that. Don't forget."

I frowned. "Don't get your shorts in a wad. I'm not poaching." With that, Mason walked off.

My mother still had her arm through Bonnie's, like they had been friends for years.

When I looked more closely, mom had tears in her eyes. She turned to Bonnie and kissed both of her cheeks. "Thank you for being kind to him."

Bonnie looked shocked. "I wouldn't be anything else."

"It's just that since his accident, he's locked himself away in that cabin he calls a home and I worry about him. He needs a friend, and I think he's chosen you."

Was what my mother spoke to Bonnie the truth? Was he lonely and in need of a friend who could accept him just as he was? We also needed to have the 'will-you-move-in-with-me' talk.

Bonnie

Damon and Mason were both attractive men, and if Enzo hadn't made it clear I was with him, then I was pretty sure one of them would have made a move on me. My guess was that it would've been Damon, although something about Mason pulled at me. He was wounded and his mom thought he needed a friend. Well, I could do that, provided Enzo behaved himself.

"Bonnie, I've been looking all over for you," Matt said as he walked up behind me, putting his arm around my shoulders.

I shook him off. "Matt…."

Before I could finish, he started to talk. "Bonnie, Mikael is over there and would like to talk to you." The cheek of him.

"I've nothing to say to him." Mikael was my previous boss and I owed him nothing.

"Bonnie, stop being awkward and come and talk to him."

"Who are you?" Damon asked with a look on his face I couldn't decipher.

"I'm Bonnie's boyfriend, Matt. And who are you?" Matt replied.

"Okay that's enough," I said. "Matt, you're not my boyfriend anymore, so you don't get to tell me what to do and who I should meet."

"Bonnie we agreed we would come here together," Matt argued.

"We agreed to come here together, but not as a couple. Mikael's looking for you, tell him I'm busy."

"Bonnie?" He finally realized I had no intention of playing nice, which was just as well, because I could sense the anger rolling off of Enzo.

He turned and walked off, and before I could even turn back to Enzo, he was being pulled into one of the tents with my ex-boss's daughter.

"What's he doing with Rebekah?" Stefan asked.

Rebekah, the name he had shouted when he'd come in the kitchen. He was an idiot. Her dad would go insane if he found out, which he was likely to do if they carried on like that. I'd actually met her when we spent the weekend at her father's house, although I didn't remember her being called Rebekah. Hang on a minute, was she the reason I lost my job? Okay, I wasn't going to freak out, because if I hadn't lost my job, I wouldn't have met Enzo, but I was still pissed.

"He's been having an affair for awhile, not sure how long really, but I've only just realized it was with his boss's daughter," I said.

"Shit Bonnie. That sucks."

"Thanks Stefan, but it really doesn't. I'm okay with it. I shouldn't be, but I am."

"Lorenzo, come and help over here a minute," his dad shouted.

Enzo placed his hand on my back and bent to whisper in my ear. "Will you be okay?" I shivered and turned my body more into him to hide my pebbled nipples.

"We'll go and see what dad wants, you stay with Bonnie." One of his brothers said, which one I couldn't tell, because Enzo had me so turned on I couldn't think straight.

"Bonnie, you're going to kill me," he whispered again.

"Then stop whispering in my ear. It turns me on having you so close and when you whisper in my ear I erupt into goose bumps. Not only that, my nipples are pebbled."

"Fuck, you're seriously playing with my libido. The next time I take you it will be in a bed, not in the barn or up against a wall in a hospital, but in a bed where I can spend hours touching your body, tasting your body, especially your pussy."

I stepped closer to Enzo and wrapped my arms around his waist. "That was cruel, I need…."

"What do you need, Bonnie?"

I clenched my fists into his t-shirt. "I need you Enzo. Just you."

I could feel his heart rate pick up at my words.

He pulled away, took my hand and dragged me into a small office to the back of the garage.

The minute the door shut, he sealed his mouth to mine and sent all my senses haywire. God, he sure knew how to kiss and the taste of him was intoxicating. I ran my hands through his hair and his whole body shuddered against mine. His penis felt long and hard against my stomach. I reached down with one hand and stroked him through his clothes, but I really wanted to see him, to touch him with no clothes between us.

"Bonnie, you have to stop." He moved my hand away and kneeled on the floor. "I'm going to taste you. I want to go back out there with the taste of you on my tongue."

My legs nearly buckled.

He grabbed hold of my hips and backed me up to the wall for support, then he took hold of the hem of my dress and lifted it up. He moved closer and spread my legs further apart. He put his tongue to my thighs and let my dress fall over his head as I practically melted into a puddle.

My stomach quivered, my breathing was choppy and my thighs trembled in need as Enzo kissed my pubic bone and then used his fingers to move my thong to one side. I was so aroused I could come from just his touch. My sex started to clench and he wasn't even inside me.

"Enzo, I really need you."

"I know baby. I'm trying not to lose control. This is about you, not me."

And then he rubbed around my clit and moved his fingers to rub around the entrance to my sex, I couldn't hold the moan back anymore. It had felt too damn good. "Don't stop."

"Fuck, your pussy is soaked."

He inserted two fingers into me. I clamped down and started coming as he put his tongue to my clit and sucked it into his mouth. My orgasm went on and on as I writhed around on his mouth and fingers, while he brought me back down to earth.

"Hell," Enzo said. He sounded rather muffled.

He pulled his fingers out of me and then shoved his tongue into me and I erupted again and came on his mouth. Well, he did say he wanted my taste on his tongue.

Enzo slowly let go of my hips and put my thong back in place, then moved from under my dress. I looked down at him and around his mouth looked wet – he licked his lips. My eyes darkened.

"Now you."

"Later," he croaked and stood up.

"Oh my," I said when I looked down and saw the bulge in his jeans. "Enzo, you've brought me to orgasm five times now and you've seen my pussy twice. I haven't seen your cock once, not even at the hospital, or in the park. I felt you, boy did I, but I haven't seen you," I pouted.

He looked at me. His eyes were hot.

I told him what I wanted. "I want to touch you without any clothes. I want to stroke along your length, get to know your girth. I want to lick up all your milky cream from the bulbous head at the tip of your penis and then I want you to come in my mouth, like I just did with you."

"Fuckin' hell, you keep talking like that and I'm going to come in my jeans."

I licked my lips.

"Lorenzo, get your ass out here!" Damon shouted at the same time as he banged on the door, making us both jump.

We both looked down and Enzo still had a large bulge in front. He smirked and opened the door.

Damon took one look at us both and obviously saw his brother's condition, then burst out laughing.

"Sorry to interrupt," he said with a huge grin.

I started to laugh and Enzo looked at me with a frown. I laughed harder and of course I set Damon off again. Enzo seemed to have his libido under control for now and took my hand to lead me out into the daylight.
