The night passes quickly with so many conversations with people I’ve never irlfriend, Ruby, up fro whatever they are working on Caleb was taking a red-eye back to wherever it is he goes, but said he’ll be back next one out ofe chance she wouldn’t talk to me anyway after what happened this summer, but I also think there’s a chance she would and with Caleb’s words echoing in s with a call from Aerie Daniels, I take the opportunity to slip away from the crowd "Hello"
"Hi, Ben It’s Aerie"
I open a door marked EXIT and end up in a quiet service hallway With no one around I lean against the cool stainless wall behindokay?" I ask
Not only is Aerie my ex-fiancée’s best friend but she also works for ht I’ for that quick trip to New York City I told you about and thought I should get everything together for the Noveoing to be fine Don’t stress about it"
"Are you sure you don’t needIt’s all set and there’s nothing to worry about"
"Okay It’s just I’ve never been out of the office on trigger day My plane lands first thing in theout the desserts all at once"
I hear a fa reedily take S’belle in The way her body moves with each movement, I can’t suppress the memories that always surface when I see her I reht Her perky tits that hardened the minute I caressed them, the way her mouth opened and her eyes closed when I touched her in the most inti over my body, the way she smelled, the raspy tone of her voice when she pleaded for ins to spin with fresh justification about why it’s okay to just talk to her She exits the sh the next set of doors, and again the hall is quiet once h the phone
"I’e to make my own voice sound normal
"Okay, then I’ll check in e land"
"Sounds like a plan And, Aerie, for fk’s sake, have fun"
She responds with a laugh, "Language, Ben, language," and then she hangs up
I shake my head and shove my phone in s open again
"Ben," she greets me in a velvety soft voice
I can’t even tell whether I’m more startled or happy to see her there But when a flush runs up her neck and her breathing steadily picks up, I want to think she’s as impacted by my presence as I am by hers Her reaction surprises aze My eyes drink her in with a thirst--her hot body, her beautiful stare My nose catches a faint whiff of her le and I almost spasm on the spot Just as I open ain
"Did you find the serving spoons?" a guythe across the hall to the counter and picking up a handful of silver ladles
He holds the door open for her and she glances attoward him And as I watch her, the way her bodyback to that night so long ago The fantasy coet
I filled my hands with her beautiful brsts as I slammed into her from behind Moans of passion that I weren’t sure if they were hers orI had been drunk, but I felt completely sober when my hands roamed her body and my lips followed Her puy was so sweet and I wantedof my deepest darkest sexual desires left my mouth I saw her smile at my words She whispered how she wanted to answer theht her mouth to mine I felt my dick throb and I wanted more
The way I felt when I was inside her was unlike anything I had ever experienced But I force ht away It’s not how I should be thinking But fk, seeing her again s I know I shouldn’t
As I head back to the party, I tell myself that I need to leave the past in the past But the words just don’t feel right
