Vera – thanks for the help and the advice. Thanks to those who have reviewed, I appreciate it.
I disclaim
Dave looked at Michelle and before he could respond the girls came in looking for dinner. The subject was dropped for now but if Dave knew anything about Michelle, he knew she wouldn't give up. Michelle didn't miss the subtleties between her ex and the new girl. This would be a hard road for Leila, but Michelle knew she could handle it. Dave's return was the topic of dinner and the girl's school schedule. It soon drifted to Dave's new house and Maggie told Michelle all about Leila's ideas and how it would be done. After dinner Dave helped Michelle clear the table.
Once in the kitchen the questions began. "Have you two talked about your relationship once you're back on the road?" she asked quietly.
"No." He replied swiftly trying to leave.
"When was the last time you had sex, Dave?" She asked point blank as if it's normal conversation one has with her ex husband.
"What the fuck, Michelle? Why don't you beat around the bush a little." He asked starting to get irritated.
"You're going to explode. I know you haven't had it in the last two months and if I know you, you only had angry sex for about a month, so roughly it's been damn near a year." She continued as she loaded the dishwasher.
"What are you getting at, spit it out."
Michelle stopped and got close to him. "Don't go back on the road without being with her. Too many temptations out there and I don't want her getting hurt. I know you can be faithful, but after awhile a man's dick starts being the thinker and you may crack."
Dave walked out without a response but still thought about what she said. He knew he would never hurt Leila, not intentionally. He pondered it for the rest of the night. He pulled Leila aside as they were getting ready to leave and suggested they stay in DC for the night and leave for Steph and Paul's in the morning. Not really a suggestion, he'd already changed the flight for the morning and booked them a room near the airport. They said their goodbyes and they'd see the girls soon. Leila could tell on the drive to the airport something was going on with Dave. She sat staring at him wondering if she should ask or let it go and wait for him. He finally looked over and gave her a soft smile. He rested his hand on her thigh and she placed her hand over his. Good enough.
All Dave wanted to do was lay down with her and think about what Michelle said. They stripped to their 'jammies' and ordered a movie. He held her especially tight and enjoyed the feel of her against him. Two months Dave and you're already in love. Two months of nothing but me and Leila, 24/7. Long enough to know my heart only beats for her. He already knew it would hurt when he left for the road. He would miss her smile, her laugh, those eyes, her scent, her tenderness, her touch. He rolled her over so she was facing him. They lay there looking at eachother, the same thoughts running through their heads. Leila ran her hands over his chest with a slight touch. His hands on her face sent chills down her spine. She looked at him with those big eyes and he knew she trusted him. He kissed her softly and wrapped his arm around her pulling her flush against him. He pushed the kisses deeper and harder as she responded, letting his tongue dance with hers. Her rolled her to her back and partially covered her body with his. Leila let her right leg wrap around him and pull him closer, as if he could melt into her. Before they could control the situation he was between her legs and hers were wrapped around his waist. He had a war going on in his body, one half of his brain agreed with his heart saying hold off, the time isn't right. The other half of his brain agreed with his penis saying make love to her, have sex, fuck her.
His brain and his heart were louder and he slowed the kisses. He rolled to her left and pulled her flushed against him again. He took deep breaths to calm down but he was breathing in the smell of her hair and her skin. He growled low in his throat and nuzzled her neck. Meanwhile, Leila was waging her own war. She knew he was doing this on purpose, he was being careful not to rush her. She appreciated his respect, but damn she wanted him. If nothing happens by the time Ric's wedding comes, I will take it upon myself to initiate it. Dave distracted himself with the movie and Leila fell asleep in the comfort and security of Dave's arms.
They spent the next few days with Steph and Paul. Leila and Steph decorated the nursery and the guys played golf, worked out and did man things. The most they exchanged were kisses here and there. He still did the little things that kept the sexual tension growing. Steph and Paul were going to Ric's wedding also, of course Paul was the best man, and decided to fly to Tampa a day early to see Dave's house. The four would leave from there for the Caymen Islands. From looking at the two of them one would think they were married and had been married. They seemed to mesh well together. Steph and Paul noted they slept together but they both knew nothing had happened yet, Leila told Steph most things.
"Nice to see your face has healed." Ric said when he greeted his friends at the airport. He also asked Paul why Leila and Dave were together, he knew they were both coming, but he thought it was separate. When he hugged Leila he said he was glad she changed her mind.
"Me too, Ric." She turned to Dave. "What's this about your face healing?"
"Nothing, just a disagreement with someone." He didn't want Leila to think he was a hothead.
"Just a disagreement?" Steph said rather loudly. "Tell her the truth, Dave. You got into a fight with Booker." Steph was going to tell everything no matter how much Dave shot her the look. "Book overheard Dave in a conversation with a tech and misunderstood. He heard a portion of the conversation and instead of continuing to eavesdrop he went crazy and attacked Dave. He tried to explain to Booker but he wouldn't listen. Book then insulted Dave about his personal life and soon Paul, John, Kurt, Randy and just about everybody else were pulling Dave off of Booker. Dave just had a few scratches on his nose; Booker looked like he'd been to a war."
Leila looked at Dave and he just shook his head and walked off. Paul leaned into Leila, "Had Book said those things about Steph and our child I would've done the same thing." He walked away headed for Dave. Leila deducted this Booker guy insulted Dave's family. She figured out enough and wasn't going to pressure him for details, if he wants to give them she'll listen. She stood there with Steph watching Dave wait for their luggage and talking to Paul. Those loose fit jeans and another retro t-shirt. He could make a yellow tweety bird t-shirt look hot.
They got their luggage and rental car for the weekend and headed for the hotel. There was a late dinner at the cabanas by the beach so they all decided to relax and rest before dinner. Leila could tell something was wrong with Dave. He went to the balcony and stared at the ocean. She grabbed a beer from the mini bar and took it to him. He turned when he heard her come out and leaned on the rail. He took the beer in his left hand and played with her hair with his right. She placed her hands on his hips and they just gazed at eachother.
"I have to go." She said softly.
"Where are you going?" He asked seductively.
"Stephanie made us spa appointments this weekend. I'm heading for a botanical body scrub with a vishi shower. I'll be back in an hour and a half. Why don't you rest and clear your head." She said as she leaned into him.
"What the fuck is a vishi shower?" Dave said vishi shower with a wanna be accent.
"You're such a guy. I'll explain later, maybe I'll even sign you up for one." She giggled and gave him a quick kiss before heading back inside. Dave decided to see what was on tv here and laid on the couch. As he flipped through the channels he had a few discussions with himself. The next thing he knew he was being woken up by a tiny body laying on top of him. He didn't have to open his eyes to know Leila was back, he must've drifted off to sleep. She smelled like fruity flowers but he still knew it was her. His body knew it was her. He wrapped his arms around her and instinctively smiled. What is this girl doing to me? Dave's cell phone rang and he answered it. He talked to Paul for a few minutes and hung up.
"That was Paul whining. I understand I have a massage in the morning." Dave asked quizzically. Leila propped her head up on his chest and smiled that smile.
"We have a couples massage in a private cabana on the beach at sunrise. So do Paul and Steph." She replied as if everyone did this.
"What exactly is a couples massage and do I have to get naked?" His voice growing deeper at the suggestion and underlying tones. Leila smirked at him.
"That's your decision but it is customary to be fully naked. We'll be under a sheet."
"The same sheet?" It was his turn to smirk.
"No, we'll be side by side on different tables." She pulled herself higher so her face was just above his. She placed her legs on either side of him. "Did you want to be naked under the same sheet?" She let her tongue snake out to lick his lower lip. Dave immediately opened his mouth and sucked her tongue into his, revealing he put his tongue ring in. He let his hands drift down resting them on her hips. Dave tried to control the kiss but Leila refused. She would be in control today. She could feel Dave's growing excitement and cut the kiss short. "I'm going to get ready, care to join me?"
"Will we be naked?" He asked trying to get more kisses.
"Who's got a one track brain this evening?" She asked as she climbed off. "You get ready for dinner and we'll have naked time later tonight." She slipped her tongue in his mouth for a quick tease.
"Wait a minute, a sunrise massage? As in very early in the morning? No, I don't do mornings. Especially after a night like tonight." He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her kissing his neck. How does he know exactly where to kiss me?
"What's tonight? Big plans? Are you meeting someone later?" Her eyes had a hard time staying open, they want to roll back into her head.
"I spotted a girl and I'm hoping she'll come back here with me tonight. I have a nice evening mapped out and I hope she likes it." His hands held her hips, fingers inching closer to what she desired. The heat of his body, the touch of his hands, the feel of his kisses on her heck and shoulders, he was driving her insane. Leila's phone rang and they both groaned. "After dinner, both of our phones are being turned off." Dave went to shower and Leila talked to Stephanie. When she hung up she opened the bathroom door. She could see Dave's silhouette and her eyes found the outline she craved to feel. Wow, I can actually see it. Shit, we have to be together tonight. If I could get blue balls I'd have them.
"Did you need something, baby girl?" Dave had been watching her watching him for a few seconds.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Um, we have 15 minutes." Leila quickly walked out and grabbed her make-up bag. She threw it on the vanity and grabbed her dress. She changed her clothes and sat in front of the mirror brushing her hair. "I think I'm going to explode. I can't handle this. Everytime he touches me I think I'm going to cum all over myself. Everytime we lay together, everytime he looks at me with that sexy as hell half smile." She let her head fall against the counter. "I just need to get laid."
"Me too." Leila spun around at the sound of Dave's voice. Her jaw dropped open and she stared at his massive body, water droplets running down his magnificent skin. "Everything you just said are things I've thought for the past two months." He crossed the room so fast it made her gasp. He jerked her up from her seat and his mouth crashed down onto hers. She grabbed at his towel forcing it from his waist taking him into her hands. He lifted her skirt and literally tore her panties from her body. He lifted her legs and wrapped her around him. He could feel the heat and wetness between her legs and it caused his brain to dismiss all rational thought. He unzipped her dress and yanked it over her head. They resumed the feverish kisses as he walked to the bed. When he laid her down he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "This is not what I wanted." He started to back away.
Leila grabbed his arms. "Romance can come later, we can take our time later…" Dave stopped her. She held his face with her tiny hands. He was melting in her eyes.
"I really want too. Fucking shit you're beautiful, but you and I are going to have to suffer until later. You deserve so much more than a quickie. And right now that's exactly what it would be." When he regained control, he leaned back and looked into those mesmerizing eyes. He bent down and kissed her tummy, tickling her belly button with his tongue. He wasn't ready to move yet, he wanted to savor the moment of her naked form in front of him. She pulled at his hands and he moved back above her. She wrapped her arms around his back and held him tight. Reality set in and Leila began pushing him away.
"We've got to go! We'll be late!" They both jumped up and got dressed. Dave watched Leila pick another dress and she stopped to look at him. He walked to her and hugged her tight. They enjoyed the feeling for a few seconds before breaking apart again. Just as they were finishing, Paul and Stephanie knocked on the door. They both knew instantly something had happened. Stephanie grabbed Leila and began to walk out of the room with her. Dave reached for Leila's hand pulling her back to him.
"She's my date Stephanie and I will not be leaving her alone all night." Dave slipped on his sunglasses, you know the ones, and led Leila to the elevators. Paul chuckled and got a smack in the arm.
