CHAPTER 5 – AFTER THE MASQUARADE
She waited for him to take the seat beside her, her feet tucked under her she turned and said …. "Tonight when I returned from the party, I found a box hidden in my flower basket. In it was a doll size cat."
"A doll….? So someone gave you a doll?"
"No listen will you, it contained a Persian nesting doll cat and it was adorned in jewels I think they are fake but it can pass as the real item, maybe fetch a lot at an auction."
"Where is it let me see it?"
"No… no I want to keep it for the time being." She said hesitantly
"Ms. Carter I have told you what happens to people like you who come to this country, it's too easy to get mixed up in things here."
"I know, but don't you see there must be a reason why someone would give this as a gift to Lizzel if she was actually there."
"Possibly, but while you do that you may be wasting valuable time by keeping it when I could have my friend look into it and possibly trace something to it." Thorpe said his tone reasonable and controlled
Jocelyn sensed a repressed anger, but she was even more determined not to give into his request. She refused to meet his steely hidden eyes in the shadows.
"Jocelyn I promise I won't take the doll let me have a look at it and I will give it right back. If not then I don't see the need for me to be here, you can be assured I only want to help you locate your sister if I can help you, but trouble is easy to fall unto the unknowing person."
"So why the interest…? Are you sure you weren't after it and it's why you took up this fast track friendship with me?"
"I swear it's not, I don't make a habit of taking women for friends I rather take them to bed." There that shut her up. "See I am being sarcastic, I am merely concerned for your safety."
"Why?"
"Because I know the trouble you can get into when in the Swiss, it's like a hidden mafia, so sophisticated you can't and don't even know that you have become a pawn."
"Well seems like you know more, and why shouldn't I think you aren't the leader of that mafia, hiding behind a blazer and jeans with briefcase?"
"Why would I need to do that, there is something called the news and something called newspapers, pretty sure you can get a lot of information there."
"In case you didn't know I can't read any of the languages the people speak here duh… and I only know one or two words." She said
"Serves you right… if you had been nicer to me, you could have called me up and I would have been happy to translate for you, so I will just tell you things aren't as they seem, it's as you said if life was a painting it wouldn't be real to you."
"Ok so what are you a secret agent or something?'
'Do I look like a secret agent to you, I hate those guys, but I do happen to like American, specifically New York women _cops?"
"Flattery- I don't know what exactly is your business Mr. Thorpe?"
"Okay the truth is I am a crook, I thief, I rob, steal, I am a drug lord, I might even be a murderer. Is that what you want to hear?"
"Ha-ha! Very funny but I'm not running yet… now answer the question, exactly what it is do you do Milton?"
He leaned in closer to her, taking her glass and resting it on the ground beside him…. "Do you really want to know?" he asked not more than above a whisper
"Yes"
"At the moment…." He paused turning her face to fully face his so their eyes were locked in a heated gaze. "I am a private investigator working with an unknown firm; and my job entails me to provide security for clients traveling or otherwise when needed."
"Really?" she queried licking her dry lips knowing it implied otherwise
"What's with all the questions? Don't you trust me?"
"I don't trust anything." She replied fighting back that urge
"Then what will you make of my presence in your room? If you don't trust anything, me-doth che la Donna ha mentito (me- doth think the lady lied.)"
"Stop it and speak in English, and to be quite honest your presence means nothing, and boy would you look at the time." She exclaimed though she couldn't her watch was inside and she couldn't see the time on his.
"Don't try to change the topic, we were talking about the doll, but if I make you uncomfortable then ask me to leave. Otherwise I insist you give the doll to me and let me deal with the matter."
"There is no matter; this is about my sister, so that makes it my matter, my problem. I am very tired Milton I have had a long night and I have a longer day ahead of me today. Can we meet day after I promise to bring the doll with me then?"…She could see the reluctance in his darken features and from his gentle touch to aggressive she knew he was about to offer more argument. She got up and started walking on wobbly legs to her terrace door, as she put one foot inside , she felt his hand grab her wrist first then halting her step. He turned her facing him.
If only she had turned around 5 seconds ago she would have seen him disassemble his phone and leaving it on the love settee before he got up and headed towards her with determination.
"You are probably the most confoundedly independent woman I've ever met." He said softly before pulling her into a sensual hard kiss. At first it sounded like she was about to protest, so he pulled her harder into him and elicited a low moan from her instead. One hand in her hair and the other holding her tightly to his hard body, she finally gave in and wound her hands round his neck.
He eased up after he got the response he wanted and parted for air…
"This is wrong, we…" he kissed her again
"You talk too much." he said covering her mouth
"No but what we…" she kissed him again completely forgetting what she was about to say and in one move he swept her off her feet into his arms moving in through the doors to her bed.
"Right now I don't want to think and neither should you, besides it's what we both want no matter what how many wrongs we find in it. We both have from day one." he said raining soft kisses all over her.
"Can't you feel the calore... passione (heat, hotness…passion) between us? We can take each other there and I am willing to bet it's, been a long time for you as it has been for me. Maybe not I haven't had a woman in years, hadn't wanted one in years as I want you right this minute. But I am by no means an invalid." He said running his tongue over her collar bone.
"I ...I didn't think you were." She managed as she found it extremely hard to push her resolve that this was all wrong to the forefront, isn't this what she wanted, when Elias had kissed her hadn't she wished it was him instead, hadn't she wanted his hands, his touch, his lips, his caress, his pleasure?
"Thor…" He kissed her "…is this really what we should be doing? We don't really see eye to eye and I hate a man who thinks a woman cannot protect herself."
"I can assure you I am not one of those men, in fact I applaud your strong sense of independence, it's just in your case I get the feeling that you're impulsive and you only look at your actions after you've done the damage."
"And you'd be right… So as not to, make that mistake right no_." She said her eyes rolling in her head as his hand covered her bare breasts beneath her t shirt "_right- so as nottttt- fuck- to make that misssst-take I think you should go." She finally said as he stopped what he was doing but kept his hands on her breast
"Credi davvero… (Do you really…)" He kissed her lips and trailed down…
"Davvero mi vuoi (Really want me …)" He kissed her navel lifting her t shirt up further exposing her rock hard peaks to the cool air of the night…
"Vuoi che me ne vada, (Want me to go?)" He said taking the left peak in his mouth feeling the exact moment she gave up the crazy idea to get him to leave.
"Ooohhhh sssstttttt…." She hissed as he teethed, the hard peak… "Now that you've started this I suggest you end it." She rasped pulling his head tighter to her breast.
"Come desideri… (As you wish…)" He said switching his tactic to the other breast and applying the same amount of torture to it. She lay on her back beside him panting hard. Not only was he skilled with his hands, the man knew how to drive and drive he did as their coupling was fast and hurried, lacking finesse but the rush of adrenaline was worth it. And he certainly didn't seem in a hurry to leave, maybe there would be more fun to be had, she certainly hoped so and hoped that things didn't become to awkward.
"Are you going to tell me how did your night really go?"
He wanted her to tell him about the kiss he was sure he heard happen between her and Elias. He wondered if she felt anything from the kiss.
"Like I said not too bad," she smiled and chuckled to herself. If only he knew what all happened tonight.
"Well that's good to hear. I'm glad things went well for you."
"Me too…. I was so preoccupied with other thoughts I didn't know if I was going to be able to get through it."
"I'm sure it went well."
"It did."
"Good, that makes me smile."
Their conversation lasted well into the morning, covering many different areas of life, so on and so forth. Eventually the conversation begun to take a different turn, A more personal topic of conversation, they covered sexual likes, dislikes, turn on's, turn off's. Their conversation was definitely becoming heated, in more ways than one. Then came, the next question, one that Jocelyn was not prepared to answer she lay quietly for a moment wondering if she should answer truthfully or not?
Eventually she told him then asked if he had one too. He answered in the affirmative. They lay in silence for a moment, both wondering what to say next. Now that the question had been asked and answered both were feeling a little overwhelmed. Thorpe was the first to break the awkward silence.
"Do you want me to leave then?"
Jocelyn was a little unsure at first but she changed her mind and agreed, on …. "No."
"Just give me a couple minutes please." She quickly went and grabbed her robe so he wouldn't see her nakedness, though it was irrelevant as he had just ravished her body hours ago. When she came back he wasn't in the bed. At first she thought he might have changed his mind and leave, but he was sitting there in the dark on the love settee in his boxers only and he seemed to be lost in thought as she called his name several times with no response.
She finally touched him on the shoulder…
"Hey you alright…?"
"Yeah why would you think I wasn't?"
"Well… I have been calling you for some time well and you haven't answered me."
"Sorry…I … you wanted to say something?"
"No…um" Jocelyn thought about their situation for a moment. Weighed the cons and pros of their brief fling, she knew that if she let Thorpe - Milton into her life then, anything would be possible and he could end up hurting her too she didn't know if she was ready for that or she could be over thinking it. On the other hand, if she didn't she might never see him again it would be too awkward and then she would never know what could have been. She told herself that this year she was going to take more chances and be a little more adventurous. What the hell, she thought, you only live once.
"I'm going back to bed you coming?"
"Ci puoi scommettere, bello (You bet. Beautiful!)" He replied before finishing the rest of his wine.
He may have already seen her naked but she wasn't about to go all shy and actually put on clothes. Clothes he would take off of her anyway. He wasn't done with her yet, in fact he was far from it and it was after 4 in the morning.
"You look nervous." He said
"I'm a little nervous."
"I think we're both past that now aren't we? I mean, look how things went earlier."
"I suppose. This is different though. That was exciting in a way, two strangers, giving into lust." Jocelyn said
"So you have had your fill of me?"
"No its just we're in person now, face to face and well we both got what we wanted."
"I can't sneak out even if I wanted to." He said hoping she wasn't implying that he did.
"Do you want to?"
"Do I want to what?"
"Sneak out."
"No."
"Good because I'll be ok. I just need a few minutes I think to adjust."
He smiled softly at her and reached up to gently caress her cheek. She smiled back at him and closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of his hands against her face. The next thing she felt was his lips on hers, a soft and gentle kiss at first followed by more feather light kisses and nibbles. Jocelyn slowly opened her eyes and looked into his. She could see the fire in his eyes and they seemed to look like a midnight blue now and that wasn't all as she was returning his kisses full force. His mouth parted beneath hers and she slipped her tongue into his mouth. She felt his arms wrap around her pulling her in closer and closer, her own arms winding around his neck, her fingers playing with his hair, her body pressing deeper into his.
A moan escaped his lips and that was it for her. She pulled back briefly to look into his eyes; "I want you again. Right here, right now." And with that they were once again tumbling onto her tangled bed sheets. As soon as he removed his boxers and then her robe they kept staring straight into each other's eyes. "Your eyes they are-?"
"Yes..."
They came together in the middle of the bed and continued as their hands stayed busy with exploring each other's bodies familiar but it still seemed all new to them. Moments later Thor kisses turned to lithe nipping and nibbling every now and then. She could feel his hot breath spread around her and that sent shivers down her spine, his hands roaming all over her body, searching exploring, occasionally he would play with her sensitive nipples, pinching them lightly, tugging at it before blowing on them, before he pulled one at a time into his mouth, she pressed him closer and he took it as encouragement to bite on a nipple, eliciting more noises from her as she bit back a moan of both pain and pleasure. He wanted to hear her voice her pleasure instead of biting on her lips and tongue, eventually she'd catch on to what he wanted soon enough and for now he'd continued his mouth's assault on her.
Jocelyn arched her body up towards his mouth wanting more, needing more as she was on the edge of climax. He must have understood her. His free hand on her other breast squeezing and caressing slow and gentle and then with a little more urgency. She wrapped her legs around his muscular body feeling his hard cock pressed into her thigh. She slipped her hand between their bodies so she could play with him. He moved off of her just a bit so she could have better access to him, he wasn't one to shy away from contact; he wasn't going to blow his load just yet.
"I take it you like him?"
She only nodded before squeezing him harder
"Fuck- that's a bad girl right there… do you think you're ready?"
She nodded, he smirked
"Show me then that you're a woman who knows what she is about…" he said placing her hand also over her own heat,
Thor wasn't too big at full erection he stood at proud eight and some inches but he also filled out with his thickness; one hand was not going to fit all the way around. For now though one hand was all she was going to be able to use as he had her other hand pinned between her own legs, feeling the wetness build and the heat rise. Thor leaned in and whispered encouraging words into her ear as they both started to lightly rub her clit while he continued to suck and play with her nipples. She was so close to cumming that she begged him to stop before she did. Thor seemed to take her plea into consideration before shaking his head no, and commanded with his eyes and husked erotic words that she continues, that he found it sexy and wanted to watch her play with herself.
Jocelyn was beyond turned on by the fact that he wanted to be an audience to something she did in private when the mood struck her, that she had no problem doing just that. He pulled back a little to sit on his hunches to watch her play, not stopping his massing of her breasts.
"UtiLizzare due dita (use two fingers),"
She did as he asked allowing two fingers into her dripping haven and started to fuck herself slowly at first. His groan was long and deep.
"Don't forget to play with the clit," he husked
She placed her thumb on the hard distended end of her clit; she wasn't going to last long at all. Thor moaned/ groaned wantonly as he watched his deep breathing in sync with hers. Jocelyn had her eyes closed but she could feel his intense stare.
"Più veloce (faster,)" he commanded
Jocelyn did as he asked, moving her fingers harder and faster, as well as Thor increased his pressure on her breasts massaging them harder, flicking the painfully stiff nipples in time with her thrusting fingers as she went faster he for every whimper, he'd groan even lower in his chest, and then seemingly he couldn't take it anymore as he once more covered her hand with his until she could feel that intense pressure build up again, and in moments she came.
Thor eyes danced over her watching as her body lifted off the bed and when she started to calm down he started exciting her all over again.
Jocelyn was so sensitive that she came again within seconds.
No fewer than three minutes had passed before she rolled him onto his back straddling him she kissed him long and hard, with need and fire, then needing to see what got him going she leaned in and started licking and biting at his nipples. He half hissed, half moaned aloud just as she lightly bit down on one thrilling him to the end of his cock. And then her hands wrapped around his hardness once more, stroking him hard and fast, and then slowing down just as fast, Thor started to squirm under her ministrations, wanting more than her hands but she would play him the same way he'd played her and continued to flick her tongue over his body, massaging and caressing him up and down, coming back to rest just above his cock. She looked at him and he was in pure ecstasy.
She moved up and lifted holding his strong member she rubbed it along her opening, coating him with her wetness, immediately Thor stiffened as he let loose a low guttural moan. She lifted up and continued stroking him. He seemed to enjoy that very much; she eased up only to be halted by his words.
"Don't stop… non smettere di bambino! (Don't stop baby)! I'm not going to cum just yet. I have better control than that." She only smiled wider when he said that.
"Joce –I just want you to do one thing for me, before you get on the horse… please get up here I'd like to put my own mouth and tongue to good use and do make sure that you're holding on to something tight," With a sexy grin she complied. The minute she straddled his face she felt his tongue dart out and lick, her lips, she shuddered almost convulsively. He licked her slowly then fast for a while and then she felt him spread her wet lips apart before his mouth, lips and tongue just devoured her. She went back to jerking his cock, fast at times then slow trying to not just focus on her own pleasure but it was hard when he knew exactly where to lick and bite her. Suddenly out of nowhere, she felt Thor slide a finger into her dripping snatch hitting her sensitive bundle of nerves triggering a mini orgasm within her as his tongue continued to tango with her clit.
That surprised her and threw her even closer to the edge. At times she could feel his tongue replace his fingers… licking and fucking with a generous bite in between. That was a whole new experience for her; she never had a man do it like that … and she had to admit she loved it. Thor took such time loving her pussy and every time he felt her getting close he would stop. She started grinding her pussy into his questing face begging for more, at her pleas he would stop causing her to dig her nails into his skin almost painfully before then going back at it when she wasn't expecting it.
Catching onto his game she went back to teasing him as well pumping his cock still coated with her slickness and after several teasing, manipulative jerk of her hand he stopped her.
"No more… I know I am going to cum if you don't stop. I don't want to do that right now, I want to be able to cum with you." With that said Thor pulled his fingers out of her and slid out under her positioning her as he got behind her into a kneeling position. Jocelyn could feel his hardness pressed against her but he didn't enter right away.
"Dio bambino, guardando la tua figa da questo punto di vista è semplicemente magnifico, (god baby, looking at your pussy from this angle is just magnificent,"
"Posso mordere il culo stretto dolce (can I bite your sweet tight ass)
"Cazzo ... sto andando a fare un amore così dolce con Te, scivolare lentamente in voi, la necessità di assaporare ogni po 'di questo momento con voi joce, (fuck... I am going to make such sweet love to you, sliding into you slowly, needing to savor every bit of this moment with you Joce)"
"All I got was fuck_" she said pushing back to meet him and yet he eluded her
Squeezing his cock harder he shifted forward only to stoke her pussy from behind, never penetrating, his goal was getting her wetter and wetter till she was dripping he enjoyed teasing her hearing her expletives, urging him to put her out of her misery. He leaned in then kissing her back caressing her with his free hand. She couldn't take it anymore and all she wanted was for him to fuck her already.
As she grinded back slowly he chose that moment to plunge deep into her and settle there for a few bathed seconds enjoying her warm, loving hold on his muscle. He could only move in and out slowly, as her walls tightened around him, wanting to keep him in place, but he still managed to tease her occasionally moving faster but then slowing down. She could feel his balls slap against her clit as he fucked her long rhythmically she reached under to try and play with them with every thrust forward, and he had the same thoughts as his hand came around and under her to play with her breast, squeezing and gently pulling on her nipples. He released her hip and grabbed her hair, gently tugging it; to draw her back so he could join her lips to his in a searing kiss she let out a moan as he kissed her biting on her lips at times before their tongues continued dueling.
Jocelyn wasn't one for having her hair pulled during sex, hell she'd never had it done before but the way this man was making her feel hell it just served to turn her on even more when he did and she responded by clenching her walls tightly around him. Oh yes she would love having her hair pulled like that during sexual play if it was this good. He pulled a little harder as his speed picked up as he started to really slam into her rubbing her clit as they coupled a whimper, and a buried scream later she came instantly Thor then pulled out so he wouldn't cum right away. He pulled her up into a sitting position and started fondling her breast as one hand snuck down to play with her pussy and rub, her throbbing swollen clit. She came again almost instantly. He continued this as he licked and nibbled her ears, kissed her neck and shoulders, biting on occasion surely leaving her marked. Rolling over he told her to straddle him, which she did instantly.
Jocelyn took his cock into her hands and started to stroke him before guiding him into her sopping wet heaven. He moaned and grabbed one breast. Rolling the nipple between his fingers pulling them and squeezing, she started to rock back and forth slowly and then just went into a tizzy. She bounced up and down, rocked back and forth slowly, still fucking him hard she was done playing nice, she'd cum so many times and he had only come once hours ago, she needed a very long break and that meant making him cum hard and fast. She stopped the minute she felt him pulsing inside of her.
Jocelyn bent down to place a soft kiss on his lips but instead he grabbed her head and kissed her hard and passionately. She returned the kiss with just as much urgency, sliding her tongue into his mouth. As they kissed, Thor rolled her over back onto her back and entered her with great force. Spreading her legs far apart he threw the left over his shoulder as he slammed into her harder and harder with each controlled thrust. He intended to render her incapable of walking when he was done with her, going in deeper, He started to rubbing on her super sensitive clit, rubbing fast because they both knew he was very close to coming. The minute she started to cum again, Thor let out a loud growling sound and came himself, wheezing out a long soulful grunting moan with his final thrust. He fell on top of her. After catching his breath Thor rolled off of her but he made sure he took her with him. They just lay there for minutes possibly an hour, cuddled and eventually the two well spent fell asleep.
~~10-AM~~
Jocelyn woke to see Thor propped on one hand watching her sleep.
"What time is it," she asked.
"Just after ten," he responded. Jocelyn tried to sit up but was gently pushed back down. She turned to Thor and stared.
"Got a hot date you were late for?"
"No, I was just surprised that it was that late. How long have you been awake?"
"Not long. You're beautiful when you're sleeping though. I didn't want to wake you, even though I did."
Jocelyn couldn't help but to laugh, "You didn't want to wake me but you did want to wake me?"
"Yeah, I know, I don't make much sense right now." He smiled down at her.
Jocelyn snuggled in closer to Thor, feeling his warmth. She did need to get up but didn't want to leave the bed either for fear that she would return and he wouldn't be there anymore. Like a dream, he would be gone. Instead however she turned to him and kissed him softly. He looked down at her surprised…
"What was that for?"
She responded with a mischievous smile ….. "Do I need a reason to start round three?"
With that he chuckled and they spent the next few hours wrapped in each other's embrace. Thor and Jocelyn finally fell asleep again, even more exhausted than the morning.
