If you were expecting the premier of He Lives in Shadow tonight then you didn't see the clue on the website. Anyway I had to deal with something today which didn't leave me much time for writing and first chapters tend to be on the longer side with all the explanations so I wanted to be sure I had plenty of time to do so. He Lives in Shadow will premier tomorrow night.
Ch. 5 You Took Advantage of My Trust in You
(DREW)
"Angel I'm home," I call into the house arriving home from work. I don't get an answer but I know she's here because I saw her car. "Angel?" I call again still no answer but she was up early this morning so I think she might be sleeping. I open the bedroom door and step in, she's not on the bed but I get suddenly blindfolded. "I don't remember you being in charge tonight," I comment as she walks me to the bed.
"I thought I was always in charge," Clare replies.
"My mistake Angel," I grin and adjust my pants as my growing erection becomes constrained in my jeans.
Clare sits me on the bed straddling my lap, she begins unbuttoning my shirt and her lips capture mine. She licks across my bottom lip, nipping it gently and my mouth opens for her. She dances her tongue in and pulls my shirt from jeans before slipping it off my arms. Breaking the kiss to take off my undershirt I put my arms around her and reattach our lips, kissing her with a deep passion and fervor. I feel her body; she's wearing a silky nightie trimmed in lace and nothing else. My hands rove over her form, slipping under the nightie and finding her breasts then her clit before she pulls out of the kiss and gets off my lap.
"Lie on the bed," Clare commands and I crawl back on the bed lying down.
I feel her crawl on the bed and straddle me again hovering over me. She takes my wrists and places them in furry handcuffs on the bedposts. With both my wrists secured she kisses me again, very passionately but briefly. She sits at my side now, her hand curling around my rock hard cock and I tremble relishing her touch. She strokes me only once and then takes her hand away causing me to whimper and shake at the loss of her touch. My cock stands at full attention seeking out her touch again and waiting to her feel her. I can't see her but I know she's smiling, I know because I know my wife and I don't need to see her to know what she's doing.
She leans down to kiss me again and whispers that she'll be right back then gets off the bed. I hear her leave the room and I lie there waiting as her carnal captive for her to return. By the time she comes back my hips are bucking waiting for her to touch me, fuck me, kiss me, anything. I feel her get on the bed again and then something cold touches my skin and I lurch with a shudder from the cold. I know what it is though, it's our favorite sex toy a popsicle. Those phallic shaped popsicles make really excellent sex toys, they can be used for so much and we always have at least two boxes in the freezer. People like my parents and Clare's sister think we just really like pospicles, people like Owen and our other friends know why we really have them. Most of our friends can't eat popsicles anymore but they all agree they make excellent sex toys.
Clare drags the popsicle over my stomach, drawing our initials and then a heart. When I shiver too much from the cold she stops and licks my skin. Dragging the popsicle down from my navel she picks it up before it reaches my pubic hair. She touches the end of it to the head of my throbbing erection and my entire body jolts; I whimper but moan as well and let out a shuddering breath. My hands grip reaching for her even though I can't get her, Clare begins rotating the popsicle on my erection and her mouth. I'm shuddering from cold one minute and then trembling in erotic euphoria the next. Just before I'm ready to climax Clare takes her mouth away and gets up to dispose of the popsicle. When she gets back on the bed she straddles over me again, taking my cock in her hand and then she lowers herself onto me. I moan in rapturous joy and grip my handcuffs squeezing them. I ache because I can't touch her but it makes it that much more thrilling too.
I hear Clare moaning as she opens up, her hands gripping my chest. The two of us moan in rapture together when I'm all the way inside of her, she quivers gently, her nails raking over my chest and for a moment she just sits there as we breathe. Then she begins to move, slow at first and then faster and faster rapidly increasing in speed until she's bouncing on me and making love to me so fast we can hardly catch a breath. I feel ready to climax after just a few moments of this and when I feel Clare tensing and then begin shaking wildly I know she's about to pop. She straightens up arching her back and then she explodes in orgasmic titillating rapture. I climax with her, bucking my hips and moving as much as I can, crying out her name as I cum. Clare collapses against my chest and I slowly pull out of her as my erection fades. After a few minutes she sits up a little and takes my blindfold off and I smile at her.
"That was a nice way to be welcomed home Angel," I grin and she smiles. "Are you going to release me from the handcuffs?"
"No I think I'll leave you tied up and then you can't go on your business trip tomorrow," she replies and I twist my mouth at her.
"Angel you know I hate to be away from you but I have to go on this trip. I will only be gone a few days," I remind her.
"This is the second trip this month I thought you were going to travel less," she comments still not releasing me.
"I know and Bob's trying not to have me travel at all but sometimes I have to and I'm trying to get it all done now so I won't need to travel at all when you're nearing delivery," I remind her.
"But I hate when you're gone, especially now and Owen and Paige have two week old Andrew so they can't keep me company," she pouts.
"I know but Adam and Ash will and my parents, I'm sure Fitz and Jenna will too if you ask them."
"Yeah I suppose at least Justin is coming over tomorrow after work," she says and I grimace at her fighting the handcuffs.
"He is not spending the night here," I growl.
"No he's not I knew you'd hate that, he's spending the evening and he'll leave before I go to bed," she tells me finally releasing me from the handcuffs.
I take her by the wrists and pin her to the bed with me straddled over her. I'm not hurting her at all, in fact she's grinning at me with a carnal glint in her eye ready to go again already.
"I don't want him here with you alone, I trust you I don't trust him at all. I never have and I never will trust him or like him for that matter. I know he's your friend but I don't like him."
"After all these years you've known him you still think he's got some secretly harbored crush on me?"
"He does! Every relationship he's had has been short, a few months at best and every girl he's dated looks like you," I respond moving her nightie up with my knees a little.
"They have not," Clare shakes her head but shimmies her hips a little so her nightie moves up more.
"Yes they have, not exactly like you because I'm the only one lucky enough to have my angel, but all the girls have had blue eyes. They've all had your hair color too and always the same length you happen to have it at the time. He wants you and he can't have you so he just inserts himself into your life, anyway he can. He went to DeGrassi even though he should have graduated already…"
"He missed a lot of high school being on mission trips Drew," Clare reminds me for the millionth time.
"He went to the same college and got a job at the same place you work. I don't trust him and I don't want him here with you alone, I don't even like him in the office with you alone but I can't really do much about that."
"He'll be here during the evening and gone by the time I go to bed will you relax. I love you more than anything ever but you are so frustrating sometimes," Clare scolds me.
"I know but you love me anyway," I smile taking her lips with mine. "Now let's do something about the fact that you're horny again."
She smiles and I release her wrists putting her legs over my shoulders. She's still pretty wet so I'm easily able to glide three fingers into her while my tongue dances on her clit. She writhes and moans, my name dropping from her lips with deep breaths. Her hips buck and I add another finger, a moment later another and now I'm fisting her and she's loving it. Her body moves and undulates, trembles and quivers, emitting moans and my name from her lips. Just as she's reaching the brink of orgasm I kiss her, hard and passionate but quick and release her lips to let her release her orgasmically happy cry at the height of climax.
"That was fun, I suppose we should eat now," I comment while she's still breathing hard.
"We should call Paige and Owen, see if they're up for dinner we'll bring it to them," Clare says.
"Good idea," I grin kissing her cheek.
She gets her phone and calls Paige and Owen while I clean up a bit. She tells me they haven't even eaten yet and didn't realize it was so late and would love dinner. So we call in an order and pick up dinner before heading to their place. I use my key to get in rather than ring the bell and bother Owen.
"Sweet Cakes dinner," Owen calls into the house when we come in.
"Owen don't yell across the house," she snaps at him when she walks out holding Andrew. "Sorry for the mess I feel like I haven't slept in two weeks," Paige says.
"You probably haven't I doubt we will either once this one comes," Clare says rubbing her belly and then taking Andrew while I put the food in the kitchen.
"We've slept it's just been disturbed every couple hours because my little man has a big appetite," Owen argues. "Why don't you and Clare get him in the playpen and we'll set up dinner," Owen says to Paige stealing her lips for a kiss.
The girls go to the sofa and I help Owen get the table ready and the food set up. He does look tired and I know that will be me in a few months.
"Aren't you taking shifts getting up?" I question.
"We were but I'm working and she's on leave so Paige is mostly getting up at night. I wake up at four and take care of him until I have to leave for work and I take him as soon as I'm home so she can shower and all that. It's exhausting, I know it will totally be worth it but I'd love to have a full night's sleep again. And sex, having sex again would be nice," Owen comments.
"That's a good point I don't know how Clare and I would survive without sex that's going to suck," I remark and Owen nods in agreement.
The table is set and we call the girls over, we sit and eat, talking and laughing. After dinner Clare and I clean up and I help Owen get Andrew to bed while the girls relax a bit. Then we say goodnight so they can hopefully get some sleep.
"You know I was thinking we could take Andrew this weekend, it would be good experience for us and it would give them a break. They'll probably sleep for the whole weekend," Clare says when we get home.
"Good idea you can call Paige tomorrow," I reply.
"I will, I doubt she'll say no," Clare says.
"Me either just be prepared for a weekend without sleep," I tell her.
"You think I sleep with you snoring all the time anyway," she teases.
I growl and chase her into the bedroom; she screams and giggles as I tickle her mercilessly on the bed. I only relent when she can't breathe anymore, I let her breathe a second and then kiss her gently.
"I do not snore."
"Only when you're sick but I love you anyway," she says..
"I love you more Angel."
(CLARE)
"Hey you landed safely I take it?" I answer when I see Drew's picture flash on my cell phone Wednesday afternoon.
"Yep we're here and I'm walking to baggage I'll call you from the hotel tonight," he says.
"Okay I love you be safe."
"I love you more Angel," he says and we hang up.
I set my phone down and get back to work, when I'm almost done with what I need to do for the day Justin comes in. He's coming to have dinner and then going home, I knew Drew would be really angry if Justin tried to stay over.
"I'll be ready in a few minutes just have to finish this," I tell him and Justin smiles. He walks behind me and begins rubbing my shoulders as he often does. It actually takes me more than half an hour to finish and just as I start shutting down my phone rings again; it's Drew calling so he must be at the hotel. When Justin sees Drew's face on the screen he stops rubbing my shoulders and I answer the phone. "Hey are you at the hotel?"
"Yeah just got my room it's got a nice view, of course the view would be better if you were here."
"I wish I was too, at least it's a short trip and you'll be back Friday night. I love you," I tell him.
"I love you more," he says and we hang up.
I gather my stuff and we leave the office, Justin follows me home in his own car. I pull into the garage and he parks behind me in the driveway next to Drew's car. I go in through the garage and unlock the front door so he can come in; re-locking the door once he's in. We set down our stuff and start making dinner; he's making vegetable curry a recipe he learned in India, he's made it before it's one of my favorites. We cook together and set the table, talking mostly of work while we eat.
"Oh shoot I totally forgot to call Paige, I'll be right back," I tell Justin and grab my purse running upstairs to call Paige. She doesn't answer so I call Owen and he answers.
"Hey Gorgeous missing your man?"
"Yes very much but that's not why I called. We were thinking that we could maybe take Andrew for the weekend," I tell him.
"That would be awesome we could use the sleep. Hey Sweet Cakes Drew and Clare are offering to take Andrew for the weekend," I hear him tell Paige.
"Great I think I'll sleep all weekend," she says.
"Drew gets in Friday evening and we'll want that time to ourselves but we can pick him up Saturday morning," I tell them.
"Perfect we can all have breakfast, thanks we'll see you guys Saturday," Owen says. I say goodbye and hang up going downstairs again and Justin's already cleaning up.
"You could have waited for me after all you did most of the cooking," I comment.
"I don't mind," he smiles as I stand next to him at the sink and take over drying pots as he washes them. "So how are you feeling? The pregnancy still going well?"
"I've been feeling great recently; I have more energy and stamina. I'm even hornier than usual which is great when Drew is here," I comment putting the pots away, "but sucks when he's gone, vibrators just do not cut it."
"I can fix that," Justin tells me and before I can laugh or do anything he suddenly turns me around and smashes his lips to mine! I'm so shocked I can't even move, it doesn't feel like when I was 15 and we kissed at church camp. His tongue is trying to probe into my mouth and his finger is hooking into the waistband of my skirt, he's trying to open my button. I get over my shock and push Justin away angrily.
"What are you doing?!"
"You said you were horny, you wanted me to help. You know how I feel about you Clare and I know it's mutual," he says.
"Excuse me?! Justin you're a close friend but I don't feel that way about you I never have. You know I'm happily married to Drew, I'm pregnant with our first child and you decide to kiss me?! I said I missed Drew and it was hard when he was away that was not some secret signal for you to kiss me. You need to leave," I tell him pointing to the door.
"Clare you can't deny that…"
"Out Justin!" I demand again.
He backs up and leaves the house as soon as he has his keys, when he's gone I lean against the counter. As soon as I hear his car leave I run upstairs grab my phone and purse and get in my car. I don't want to bother Owen and Paige so I go to Adam's because I don't want to be alone. I use my key to get in, the living room is dark but there are lights on in the hall.
"Adam," I call into the house.
"Clare?" He calls back after a few seconds. He comes out of the bedroom with boxers on and putting on a t-shirt. I realize he must have been having sex with Ashley and now I feel terrible.
"I'm sorry I should have called, I'll go just pretend I was never here," I say and start to turn but he grabs my arm.
"Stop what's wrong and don't tell me it's nothing," Adam insists just as Ashley comes out in one of Adam's t-shirts.
"I didn't mean to interrupt I just needed someone," I apologize.
"You're obviously upset, come tell us I'll put on some water for tea," Ash says and Adam takes my hand walking me to the sofa while Ashley goes into the kitchen.
"Okay tell me what's wrong? Did my brother do something stupid?" Adam asks.
"No Drew was right, right about Justin. He came over tonight to have dinner and keep me company. He wasn't going to stay the night that was never part of the plan. We made dinner and then I went to make a phone call, I came back and helped him clean up. We were talking, I was telling him I was hornier than usual and it was hard when Drew was away. Justin said he could help with that and then he kissed me. He was trying to get my skirt off. When I recovered from my shock I pushed him away and asked what he was doing," I'm saying when Ash brings over three cups of tea.
"Did he answer?" Ash questions.
"He told me I know he feels about me and that he knows it's mutual. I told him it wasn't, I told him he knows I'm in love with Drew and I told him to get out. He did leave but I'm just in shock, after all these years he chooses now to kiss me! He knows how I feel about Drew, he knows I'm pregnant. Justin was a trusted friend but I don't know if I can every even look at him again," I sigh stirring my tea.
"I can't believe he did that either, well okay I kind of can but I thought he'd do it a long time ago," Adam comments.
"You can sleep here tonight," Ash offers.
"Yeah definitely sleep here," Adam nods and my cell phone rings. It's Drew he must be calling to say goodnight.
"It's early are you going to bed already?" I answer trying not to let my voice betray that anything is wrong.
"What's wrong?" Drew asks.
"Don't get mad," I reply.
"You know when you say that I have a valid reason to get mad and so I probably will get mad so just tell me what's wrong," Drew asserts.
"You were right about Justin," I admit and bite my lip.
"I knew it! What did he do? Can I kill him now?"
"Everything was fine it seemed like just another dinner together."
"But?" Drew prods.
"But when we were cleaning up and talking I was saying how I was even hornier lately. It was just conversation and I didn't think…I mean it was something I would have said to nearly any of our friends but then Justin kissed me."
"I'm going to kill him," Drew interrupts me.
"He was trying to get my skirt off, I pushed him away and he basically told me he loves me and said I knew it was mutual."
"I told you didn't I tell you? Next time I tell you someone is in love with you listen to me!" Drew exclaims.
"I know I know you were right I'm sorry and looking back I guess I can see other signs but I didn't ever think. I mean he never said anything and he knew I was with you, it's been so long and he's had other girlfriends."
"All of which looked like you," Drew reminds me, "he's not still there is he?"
"No I kicked him out and came to Adam's I'll sleep here tonight," I assure my husband.
"Good, I'm really jet lagged and I have a meeting at seven so I'm about to crash."
"I love you sleep well," I tell him.
"I love you more Angel, now let me talk to Adam," Drew insists so I give Adam the phone.
"Hey bro…yep no problem…yeah I'll talk to Fitz tomorrow we'll take care of it…goodnight," Adam hangs up and gives me back my phone.
"He asked you guys to keep an eye on me didn't he?" I question.
"Have you ever known Drew not to be concerned about you?" Adam replies and I shake my head.
I sit up talking with Adam and Ashley for a bit while we drink tea, the spare bedroom is really an office but Adam was smart enough to sound proof the walls. It's a pullout but it's pretty comfortable and it's only for one night. I wake up early and drive home to change for work, I park in the driveway and walk to the door to unlock it.
"Clare," Justin says and I turn to glare at him.
"You need to go," I tell him in a firm voice.
"Clare I know you feel the same way I…"
"I don't even know how you feel and the only person I'm in love with is Drew now get off my property or I'm calling the cops, or Adam, Owen and Fitz," I tell him and go into the house locking the door behind me.
Work will be interesting, I'm so used to Justin coming into my office but that's when we were friends and I don't know what we are anymore.
Update Thursday April 23rd picking up probably with Drew coming home, some Clew naughtiness and them taking Andrew for the weekend.
