Well, if that was his plan, he had another thing coming. I might have been that person before but not anymore. He wasn’t going to frighten me with text messages and subtle threats. I would ignore his messages until he got tired of sending them.
I wasn’t going to let Stan drive me out of my mind. Not when my future had just started to look bright. For once, I had something to be excited about. I'd started to believe I could follow my dreams and make something of my life.
Being with Luke and seeing him follow his own dreams had inspired me. I had also learned how a man should treat a woman. He treated me with respect and he cared for my opinions. It sounded so simple, but that in itself had shifted something inside of me.
It made me believe in myself and I now believed I had the capability of being whatever I wanted to be.
These last few weeks working for Luke and taking care of Molly had opened my eyes to a new way of living and thinking. Like a curtain in my brain had been opened and showed me life could be paradise on earth. Human beings were like flowers. Flowers need water, and humans need encouraging words. I got that from Luke. He encouraged me to go back to college and most importantly, he made me believe I could do it.
I remember once confiding in Stan that I wanted to be a fashion designer.
He had stared at me open mouthed with disbelief, then burst out laughing. "You've got to be kidding me! You, a fashion designer?" He'd doubled up in laughter and then proceeded to mock me for weeks by sarcastically referring to me as Ella Wang because he knew I admired Vera Wang.
Needless to say… that had been the end of that and I had pushed my crazy dreams to the back of my mind.
I had allowed Stan to mess with my head once. I would not let it happen again, I thought fiercely. I smiled when I spied Luke’s car coming up the drive. He was home a little earlier than usual. I was about to bound out of my room when I remembered Penelope was here.
I ran a hand through my hair and adjusted my dress. Not that it mattered. Luke had seen me at my best and my worst.
Minutes later, a knock came on the door and the doorknob turned.
Luke peered in, and all my worries evaporated.
I smiled back at him. He entered and shut the door and locked it. My heart pounded wildly as he closed the gap between us.
"My sweet Ella," he said.
"Hi," I said shyly.
He slipped his hands around my waist and lowered his head to kiss me.
I inhaled his scent and shut my eyes, enjoying the feel of his mouth against mine.
He pulled back after a moment. "I checked in on Molly. She's asleep. She must have been very tired."
"We went to the park," I told him.
Luke lowered his head again, and kissed my neck.
I giggled when he touched a sensitive spot.
"I didn’t know you were ticklish there," Luke said and went for the same spot.
I tried to push him away and when that didn't work, I curled my body and slipped out from his grasp.
Our horseplay ended up with Luke lying on top of me on the bed. He smoothed my hair away from my face and stared down at me.
He looked so sexy in his work clothes. An expensive looking grey suit, a white shirt, and a tie. I imagined what his employees would say if they saw him now and giggled.
He touched my nose with a finger. “What’s so funny?”
“I just wondered what the people at work would think if they saw you now,” I said.
He chuckled. “They would think it’s my clone. They probably don’t think I know how to laugh.”
I burst out laughing at the accuracy of his statement. I felt special since I got to see this side of Luke. The playful side.
I became aware of a bulge pressing into my stomach. The air between us changed from playful to heated. Luke's gaze dropped to my mouth and I parted my lips. He brought his mouth down and kissed me. Hard. Deep. I dry humped him, wanting to feel more of his rock-hard cock.
My hands dropped from his shoulders to his back and then to his tight ass. A wave of longing to be filled came over me but it wasn’t the right time. Molly would be waking up and then there was the added complication of Penelope being in the house.
Our breathing grew heavier and I knew if we did not stop now, we would go all the way. I broke the kiss.
Luke stared at me questioningly.
"Molly will wake up any time," I said.
"She’s not awake yet though and I can be very fast," he quipped and captured my mouth again.
For a few seconds, I allowed myself to get lost in his kisses, before I broke it off again. "And Penelope is in the house," I added.
Luke groaned and rolled off me. He lay on his back staring at the ceiling. "For fuck’s sake. It’s about time I set some rules with her."
Feeling sorry for the tent he sported, I reached out and cupped his cock. He groaned. Quickly, I unzipped Luke’s pants and pulled out his cock. It pulsed heavy and smooth in the palm of my hand.
Luke lay back with his eyes closed but his heavy breathing let me know he surely enjoyed my touch. When I took him into my mouth, he let out a long happy groan. “I’ll be done in a minute,” he promised.
He was true to his word.
Luke
