I got up very early the next morning and noticed Jennifer’s bedroom door was still closed. I fixed some breakfast all the while wondering how my relationship with Jennifer would change. I was no longer the father figure I had been in her mind. About an hour later, Jennifer came into the kitchen and poured a cup of coffee and sat at the bar. She was just wearing a long t-shirt and panties, but I let it slide at this moment because of the night before. She was trying to get a reaction out of me, and I had to remain strong. I was just starting the dishwasher when my cell phone rang, and it was Kate. Jennifer looked at the screen and then back up at me. I could see the doubt in her eyes as I answered the phone.
“Hey Kate, what’s up.”, I asked.
“Not much. How are the girls doing?”, she asked.
“Kaley was not able to make it. She came down with the flu so it’s only Jennifer here.”, I replied.
“Oh ok. What are you going to do today?’, Kate asked.
“Well, I promised to take Jen shopping at the mall. Other than that, I don’t know.”, I answered.
“Would the two of you mind if I tag along?”, Kate asked.
“No, not at all. We can pick you up later. I call and let you know when we are leaving.”, I stated.
“I hope you don’t mind but Kate will be coming with us.”, I told Jennifer.
“No, that’s ok.”, Jennifer replied.
“Jen, we need to talk about last night before we do anything else.”, I stated.
“Jace, please don’t freak out on me about last night………………. I begged you to sleep with me. I don’t regret it and I never will. Please don’t be sorry that you turned me down. Please don’t treat me any different than before.”, Jen pleaded.
“Jen, you know I love you so much. But things are different now……. I can’t explain it, but they just are. I see you in a different way now. You’re a beautiful young woman and that’s how I see you know. But I just don’t know where to go from here.”, I replied.
“Jace, I love you for you. I can’t imagine how my life would be if you had not picked up the pieces.”, Jen stated.
“Maybe you’re substituting love for gratitude. I know you’re grateful for what I have done for you, but I can’t ruin your young life and make a decision that I think we would both regret.
“Neither do I………. but I’m not sorry I asked. Look, we don’t have to figure this out right here and now. I’m going back to school and will be around a ton of boys. Kate is trying to get back together with you. I’m sure eventually I will be embarrassed that I asked you to sleep with me but right now, I’m not. I still want to fuck you. Are you ok knowing that?”, Jennifer asked.
“I think I have to be. Are you ok with me turning you down?”, I asked.
“Yes Jace, I’m very ok with that. I’m disappointed but you have always helped me make the right decision and I must trust you now.”, she promised.
“Jen, what if Kate and I do reconcile…… what then?”, I asked.
“Jace, I love you and I sincerely hope you do.”, Jennifer admitted.
At that very moment, I realized that Jennifer was wise beyond her years. But I also believed that what happened last night was Jennifer saying thank you for everything I had done for her. I was feeling extremely guilty for what I had done but Jen seemed perfectly fine with it. How do I act around Kate now with Jennifer here? This was going to be a problem.
About an hour later we were both dressed and ready to leave for the mall. I called Kate and she said she was ready to go as well. We went two streets over and I pulled into the driveway and got out. Jennifer got out as well it had been a while since she had seen Kate’s parents. I rang the doorbell and Kate’s mother Laura answered quickly.
“Hello Jace and oh Jennifer, I haven’t seen you in forever. My god how much have you grown?” Laura remarked hugging her.
We followed Laura to the family room where Kate’s father Thomas was in his large recliner watching a football recap show. He seemed very surprised to see me but stood and shook my hand.
“I never thought I would see you again son. What did my daughter do to get you over here?”, he asked.
“We talked a bit sir. We are here to pick her up and go shopping.”, I replied.
“Jennifer how are you……... you have grown up so much.”, he said.
“Thank you, Mr. McKinney, it’s nice to see you again.”, Jen answered.
“What are you doing with yourself these days?”, he asked.
“I’m in school at Clemson. Playing softball for them.”, she replied.
“Clemson……… that’s big time Jennifer.”, he said with praise.
“Yes sir, but it’s a grind. We start at six in the morning, and I go to sleep around ten at night. It’s nice to have a small break.”, she admitted.
Thankfully just about that time Kate walked into the room and Jennifer ran over and gave her a huge hug. They exchanged a few words then Kate said she was ready to go. We said goodbye to her parents and went out to my car.
“I always wanted to drive the Jag……. How about it, dad?”, Jen laughed.
“Sure…...”, I replied tossing her the key fob.
I let Kate get in the front with Jen and I climbed into the back seat. Jennifer started the car and we headed towards the mall. Kate and Jennifer dominated the conversation with Jen telling Kate all about college life. It was very apparent that Jennifer was having the time of her life at school. About forty-five minutes later we arrived at the mall and Jennifer found a parking spot. It was packed due to Christmas being just a few days away.
It had been a long time since I had been shopping so I let the women lead on. We started at Rag and Bone where Jennifer started trying on blue jeans. I sat in the chair by the dressing room and just observed women obsessing over clothing. After picking out jeans by several different designers I gave my credit card to Jennifer where she paid for the items. I found it outrageous that a pair of blue jeans would be one hundred seventy-five dollars each but eight hundred dollars later we walked out of the store with me carrying the bag. The next store was Alice + Olivia where tops and blouses for the jeans were obtained. Then we wandered across the corridor to Jimmy Choo’s which I knew was going to cost me. We had made a deal though and everything we bought would be Jennifer’s Christmas gifts. After all, I had no one else at this time to buy for.
The first pair of boots that Jennifer got excited about looked like an army issue boot. She mentioned to Kate that it was a Chike Flat whatever the hell that was. She then found a Kinsey Ankle boot in black to go with her jeans. I noticed Kate admiring a brown boot that was a Mavie 85. Everyone tried on various shoes, but Jen stuck with the Chike Flat which was twelve hundred dollars and the Kinsey Ankle boot which was nine hundred dollars. I told Kate that I would buy her the Mavie 85 boots as well as a Christmas gift. She refused right away but I bought them anyway.
Then Jennifer led us to the one store I really felt awkward about it. We walked through the entrance of Victoria’s Secret with me carrying five different bags with Jen and Kate in front of me. There was an extremely young- and good-looking woman working the floor and she immediately came up to us. She asked Jen and Kate how she could help them, but her eyes were on me.
Jennifer said she needed some underwear and wanted to see what was available. The woman escorted her to a huge counter where just about every style of panties were laid out. I quickly found a chair about fifty feet away and sat down. The woman kept making eye contact with me and smiling. Once, I could have sworn that she even licked her bottom lip. Jennifer picked out quite a few items as did Kate. I knew Jennifer couldn’t help herself and was going to try to embarrass me.
“Dad, what do you think about these?”, Jennifer asked, holding up a white lace boy shortie.
“Wait, that’s your dad?”, the saleswoman asked.
“Yes, he is.”, Jen responded.
“No offense but you had to be young when she was born. I mean really young.”, she stuttered causing Jen and Kate to laugh.
“It’s complicated…….”, I answered.
“I bet you are……”, the woman replied, smiling.
We checked out and paid for everything and the only other store Jennifer wanted to go to was the Under Armor store which was not in the mall. So, we headed back outside, and I put all of the bags in the trunk, and we drove across town to the Under Armor store.
“Jace, that woman was hitting on you big time.”, Kate laughed.
“Just now?”, I asked acting like I had no clue.
“Oh, come on Jace. I thought she was going to invite you into the dressing room.”, Jennifer giggled.
They made several other remarks about the situation but thankfully we arrived at the Under Armor store which I knew well. We went in and Jennifer was able to get some Vanish Softball pants to practice in and a half dozen pair of sliding shorts. Then she found some Heat Gear leggings with some sports bras to finish off. We then finished off with three pairs of running shoes in various colors.
From there we went to get lunch at The Hillside Tavern where Jennifer loved the hamburgers which were their specialty. We ate and talked for close to ninety minutes before we left. Thankfully, Kate agreed to go home with us and talk for a while. That would at least deflect the tension between Jennifer and I for a few hours. I really had the suspicion that Jennifer would ask me again.
We arrived back at the house, and I carried all of the bags inside to the sofa. Jennifer pulled everything out and laid it all out. Kate and I sat down and watched Jennifer admire her new clothing.
“I’m going to need another suitcase to take all of this back with me.”, Jennifer commented.
“You could let Jace Fed-Ex to you once you get back. He could do it overnight and you would have it the next day.”, Kate responded.
“That would be great. Right before I leave, I will box it all up for you.”, Jennifer promised. Jennifer picked up all of her items and took them to her bedroom. She left me alone with Kate which honestly made me feel very awkward. Thankfully Kate started up the conversation.
“Jace, that was so nice of you to take her shopping. And I want to thank you again for the boots you bought me.”, she stated.
“You’re welcome, Kate. It’s no big deal really.”, I replied.
“I’m dreading going back to work in the morning. The holidays are always very tough. When someone gets the flu or something else, they come to us hoping we can cure them immediately then they can enjoy the rest of the holiday. Unfortunately, in most cases that is not the case.”, she sighed.
“I guess it’s hard to be a miracle worker every day. I can’t imagine doing what you do.”, I replied.
“It’s rewarding most of the time but when you lose a patient it’s tough. Especially if they’re young.”, she answered.
We talked for a while but honestly it seemed like we might have just been going through the motions. I think Kate felt it too, but I was not sure. After about an hour, she asked me to bring her home, which I did. She promised to call me during the week, and we could decide what to do about Christmas.
The new week came and so did the holidays. Kate called me a few times, but we were never able to get together for Christmas due to her schedule. Jennifer went back to school making me promise to keep her offer in my head. She just about stated that she wanted to be in a relationship with me after she graduated from college. I promised her I might just to appease the situation but made her promise that if she met someone, she would give them a chance. I still could hear the last words she said before she went down the ramp to board her plane.
“Jace, I know you think I’m much too young to understand what I want. Please don’t be fooled into thinking I’m a child. I’m looking at you right now and I know I will make you mine.”, she promised.
There was so much of Shelby inside of Jennifer that it was difficult not to do what she had asked. But the one thing that kept haunting me was that I would be betraying everything I had promised Shelby. This was her little girl and a relationship with me was not possible.
Over the next month or so Kate’s phone calls and texts slowed down and we barely saw each other. After a while, I think I may have been a little relieved about not getting back into a quick relationship with her. I was working full-time at the gym and trying to keep up with Jennifer, which made me very busy.
I was lifting several hours a day then training in Muy Thai for several more. I would then shower and work with clients and do paperwork until we closed. The months passed by and I had completely stopped talking to Kate, which was strange, but she always told me she was busy. After a while I just quit texting and calling her. But the more I thought about it the more I realized what Shelby had meant to me.
I was walking around the gym on a Friday night when I heard what seemed like an argument coming from the area where the treadmills were. I quickly walked in that direction to see a young couple having a fairly heated argument. By the time I was close everyone was staring in that direction. The young man reached out and grabbed the woman’s arm trying to pull her closer. She was trying to pull away from him.
“Let her go.”, I stated as I walked up.
“This don’t concern you man……. This is my wife. Back the fuck off.”, he demanded.
“This is my gym…… let her go now.”, I replied.
He let her go and turned to face me with an angry look on his face. After a few seconds of him trying to stare me down I knew he was going to be a problem. He tried to throw a right hook which I blocked immediately. He then followed up with a left hand that I brushed off easily. I reached out with two hands pushing him hard on the chest causing him to stumble and fall backwards.
“Get your things and leave the gym. Don’t come back until you can control yourself.”, I demanded.
He got up and faced his wife telling her this was not over. He then stormed out of the front door and across the parking lot. I walked over to the young woman who I knew was a regular at the gym.
“Are you okay, ma’am?”, I asked.
“Yes, thank you for helping me. He just won’t stop harassing me.”, she complained.
“You two are married?”, I asked.
“We were……... we’re separated now, have been for six months.”, she admitted.
“Do you have a restraining order?”, I asked.
“No……”, she replied, her voice trailing off.
“Maybe you should get one.”, I advised.
“I was thinking about enrolling in your Thai class to learn how to defend myself.”, she said, nervously.
“While that might not be a bad idea it’s not an immediate solution. It’s not something you’re going to learn in a few weeks.”, I offered.
“I’ll be ok…...”, she stated, walking passed me softly touching my arm.
For the next few weeks all went well until I was in my office one Friday night when there was a knock on the door. I looked up to see the same woman who had been in the altercation several weeks ago. I waved for her to come in, which she did right away. She walked around the two chairs and sat down facing me. She was a very attractive women and was dressed in tight jeans, silk top and high heel boots. She had a small amount of makeup on and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
“Hi, I’m sorry to bother you but do you have a minute to talk?”, she asked.
“Sure, what can I help you with?”, I replied, setting my pen down on the desk.
“Ok, first things first. I’m Nicole Jennings but everyone calls me Nikki.”, she advised.
“Nice to meet you, Nikki. I’m Jace Johnson.”, I replied.
“All the ladies know who you are Jace.”, Nikki giggled.
“Thank you, I guess.”, I replied.
“I wanted to ask you about the fight class. How much does he charge. I have seen you in there and you handle yourself very well.”, she inquired.
“I think he charges per class but I’m not sure. “Get with Ryleigh and she can get you the price.”, I offered.
“Okay, I’m kind of limited right now. I’m not getting anything from him and I’m still in school.”, she admitted.
“What are you in school for?”, I asked.
I have an IT degree and am working on my graphic design degree. Still have a little over a year.”, she confessed.
“Sounds interesting…...”, I said, just thinking of something to say.
“Mind numbing sometimes.”, she admitted.
“My father wanted me to go to college, but it did not work out that way.” I admitted.
“What happened?’, she asked, leaning forward.
“My Mom, Dad and sisters were all killed in an automobile accident.”, I answered.
“Oh my god, that’s terrible.’, she said, sitting straight up again.
“It was many years ago, but it definitely altered my life.”, I replied.
“Well, I know you’re about to close so I will get out of your hair. Unless……... maybe you would like to get a cup of coffee with me?”, she asked in a very uncomfortable tone.
“Um, yes……. I guess that would be ok.”, I quickly said, having no idea why.
“Great, I’ll wait in the lobby.’, she answered, getting up and walking out.
I finished up what I was doing and met Nikki in the lobby. Ryleigh was locking up so we both walked out together. I followed her to a late-night coffee shop where I bought two large coffees and we both sat at a table in a secluded corner of the lounge area.
She started a conversation about how she found herself in this stage of her life. Nikki’s father had died early in her life, so her mother had to work very hard to raise her. During her senior year in high school, she became pregnant so during the summer, much to her mother’s objection, she married her husband.
Several months later during an argument she admitted he pushed her hard down a flight of stairs and she lost the baby. He begged her for forgiveness, so she claimed that she fell on her own and no one knew otherwise except for her mother who she had told a few years later. She admitted her husband was controlling and abusive but smart enough never to go too far. There were a few times when the police were called but nothing ever came of it. Nikki’s mother begged her to leave him, but she knew she would not be able to finish school, so she stayed.
A little over a year or so ago she caught him cheating with several other women. She finally succumbed to her mother’s wishes and moved out and returned to her mother’s home. Since then, apparently he had been trying to get her back.
Then she asked me about my life and I told her about my family dying and the lawsuit. Then I moved away and met Shelby. I confessed to loving her with all my heart then how she tragically died. I told her I was raising Jennifer and then finally about my relationship with Kate.
“So, you basically have a daughter who is maybe ten years younger than you?”, she asked, amazed.
“Yes, that’s about it. She is a freshman at Clemson right now. She was in town this past Christmas. She will be back this summer. “, I offered.
“What’s it like having a daughter?”. Nikki asked.
“Very confusing most of the time.”, I laughed.
For the next few weeks, I saw Nikki on a regular basis at the gym. She had asked me to start working out with her with free weights. Two nights a week she would train in Muy Thai. After a few months in the weight room Nikki was much stronger and much more confident. She had increased her leg size considerably and had developed a great butt due to the squat rack. She was still having some problems with her husband, but she was hoping the judge was going to force him to go to court. Every time They had another date set up next month, but she was sure he was not going to show. They had a court date set up but she felt he would not show. Apparently, his family was very well off and had spoiled him his entire life. He was an only child and knew how to use it to his benefit.
We were finishing up a workout on a Thursday night and Nikki was waiting to do her last set of squats. She got up to get under the bar but turned and faced me.
“Would you like to go out with me this Saturday night. Maybe a movie and dinner.”, she asked.
“Oh um……... I am just coming off a relationship and honestly not looking to jump back into one. You’re very attractive Nikki but maybe get your divorce settled before you get into a relationship. I saw it happen with Shelby and it cost her dearly.”, I replied.
“Yes, you’re right. I guess I’m just tired of being alone.”, she sighed.
“I can understand that.”, I laughed.
I kept mostly to myself for the next few months and worked all the time. If I wasn’t working, I was training or sparring with one of the teachers. Summer break was around the corner and Jennifer would be flying in shortly. It would be nice to have Jennifer home again. The one thing I really missed about Kate was the long, lonely nights at home. Kate and I had not spoken in close to four months and I had no idea what was going on with her.
A week later, I picked up Jennifer from the airport and we drove straight back home. It seemed every time Jen left and came back to town, she was more beautiful than the time before. The conversation we had made me look at her in a different way than just the little girl I had rescued.
We arrived back home and Jennifer unpacked quickly and took a shower. She put a few things in the washer and then met me in the kitchen.
“What’s for dinner?”, she asked.
“I don’t know……. What would you like?”, I inquired.
“Let’s order Chinese from Fong’s”, she stated.
“Ok, there is a menu in the drawer right there. Order whatever you want and have it delivered.”, I instructed.
“Ok….”, she answered.
Jennifer ordered the food while I went and took a long, hot shower. Just about the time I went back into the kitchen the food was delivered. Jennifer and I sat at the table and opened all the food. We ate and had a conversation, mostly about school and how she was doing. We cleaned up and Jennifer went to her room to go to sleep. The trip had taken its toll on her.
The following day I went to the gym and worked till six o’clock that evening before heading home. I got home and found Jennifer in the theatre room watching a movie. Obviously, she had slept late still having her pajamas on from the night before.
“Hey sweet pea, how about I take you out to dinner tonight?’, I asked.
“I guess so, let me go get dressed.”, she replied, getting up slowly.
I went and took a shower then dressed and headed back to the living area, but Jennifer was still in her room. About ten minutes later, she walked out and I had to stare for a few seconds to believe my eyes. Jennifer had on a very tight pair of blue jeans with a dark gray tank out that was extremely snug. She had on a pair of high heeled boots that I had bought her last Christmas. She had her hair pulled back in a ponytail and had makeup on which I had never seen before. She was every bit as beautiful as her mother if not more. I also had not noticed up until that moment how full Jennifer’s breasts were. The tight pullover shirt left nothing to the imagination.
“Um, is something wrong?”, she asked me, with an evil grin on her face.
“No…. not at all. I have never seen you with makeup on before.”, I stuttered.
“Well get used to it. I’m a woman now.”, she giggled.
“I guess I will have to.”, I stated, heading for the door.
We went to a steakhouse on the other side of town and had a great meal. However, as much as I was dreading it the conversation eventually turned to the topic I was fearing.
“So have you given any more thought to my offer?”, Jen asked, smiling.
“Uh, if it’s what I think you’re referring to the answer is no.”, I said, not holding any eye contact.
“Jace, you have no idea how much I want you.”, Jennifer said softly, looking around.
“Jen, we have been through this. I have told you all the reasons I can’t do that.”, I replied.
“No, you have given me a lot of excuses but not real answers.”, she answered.
“Jennifer, your mother for all practical purposes was the love of my life. I can’t explain that to you because it’s hard for me to talk about your mother. I feel I let her down and she is dead because of me. I can’t do anything to bring her back, but I can make sure you have everything you need to succeed in life. I would betray everything that Shelby and I had together if we went to bed.”, I replied.
“Jace, think about this. You’re the best man my mother ever knew. She knew that when we left you and went back home. She regretted it every day being away from you. Don’t you think now she would want me to be with the best man I could possibly be with. And knowing you like she did would she mind if that were you?”, Jen asked coyly.
“You’re asking me questions that nobody could answer. I don’t know what your mother would want. Then think about this. What in the hell do you think your grandparents would think if we were living together as a couple? Word does get around Jen.”, I urged.
“My mother’s parents would probably be glad, they love you. My dad’s parents would throw a fit, but I don’t care. They can go fuck themselves. They knew how he treated my mom and helped him cover it up. If I never see them again it really doesn’t matter. Maybe that’s awful of me to say but it’s how I feel.”, she sighed.
“I can’t tell you how to feel Jen and can’t begin to imagine what you went through. But I just can’t wrap my head around you and I having…… you know. “, I stated somewhat embarrassed.
Jennifer let the conversation drop for the time being, but I knew it wasn’t over by any means. We went home and watched television for a bit then I went to bed. I was just about to fall asleep when my phone rang, and I noticed it was Kate.
We talked for a while, and it was obvious that neither of us thought that jumping right back into a relationship was a good idea. By the end of the conversation, we both agreed just to put everything on hold for the time being.
CHAPTER TWENTY
Having Jennifer around the house was nice but it also gave her the opportunity to work on the ultimate goal she had at the moment. She would take every opportunity she had to walk around in as little clothing as possible. Every morning, I would get to the sleep shirt and panties look. In the evenings sometimes she would go swimming then walk around in her bikini for a while. After several weeks, I had to admit even to myself that she was starting to tempt me.
One Saturday night I stayed up late watching a series on Netflix that I had started. At about one o’clock in the morning I turned the television off and walked toward my bedroom. As I approached Jennifer’s door, which was closed, I heard a low almost inaudible sound. I stopped in the hallway and then realized after a few seconds that Jennifer was masturbating in her room. I wanted to walk away but my feet would not move. I inched closer to her door and listened intently, and my hand traveled down to my growing erection. For several seconds at a time, I would hear nothing then a slight moan or two would occur. It lasted several minutes and then I was sure I heard Jennifer cum although she was able to muffle the sound well.
I turned and walked down the hall to my bedroom and closed the door. I got in bed and my hand was soon around my hard cock. It had been a long time since I had any sexual stimulation from anything other than my hand. Knowing that Jennifer was on the other side of that door playing with herself had really gotten to me. I was getting close to cumming when I heard a soft knock on my door. I quickly pulled my hand from the covers and rolled over pretending I was asleep.
I heard the door open and I heard Jennifer’s footsteps on the cold tile as she walked around the bed to the other side. I felt her slide into the bed and move very close to my back since I was facing away from her. I tried to control my breathing so it would appear I was sleeping. Somehow, Jennifer knew better.
“Jace, I know you’re not sleeping.”, she whispered placing her hand on my back.
When her fingertips first touched me a jolt of electricity went down my spine causing my body to shudder for a second or two. I had not been prepared for such intensity, though I guess I should have been. Deep down I guess I knew this moment was coming although I dreaded every thought of it. What I did in the next minute or two would probably define the rest of my life. For the first time in a very long time, I was scared. I had no idea what to say but I had to say something.
“Jennifer, this is not a good idea.”, I said softly.
“Jace, I can’t pretend anymore. I love you and I will love you until I die. And if there’s another life after we die, I will love you then. I will not apologize for it, and I will not run from it. I’m not the same little girl you met so long ago. Even though we were never meant to be together, I can’t be with anyone else.”, Jen stated, her hand softly rubbing my back.
I rolled over to my back to look in her direction. There was little light in the room, but it was enough to see Jennifer’s beautiful face less than a foot from mine. She softly put her left hand on my chest as she looked into my eyes.
“Jen, my heart and my mind are telling me two different things right now. My heart is telling me to be with you right now. But my mind is telling me is a huge mistake to do that.”, I whispered.
“Jace, you have experienced a lot of pain in your life. You need to put that behind you and start living for you. Trust your heart to show you what you need. And……. If I were you, I’d fall in love with me.”, Jen said.
“Jen, you have a great future ahead of you. You have softball, college, dating and eventually your own family. You can’t throw all of that away.”, I protested.
“Jace, none of those things matter to me if I’m not with you. All I want is to be exactly where I am right now.”, she whispered.
“You’re just so young to be deciding like this right now. Why don’t you finish school first and then we can talk about this again.”, I offered, trying to buy some time.
“I don’t know what I can say or do to make you understand how I feel right now. Nothing I have or do means anything to me if I can’t share it with you.”, Jen said, getting very emotional.
“Jen, give me a little time to think about it and try to make sense of how we feel. I promise you we can work this out,” I stated.
“Ok, that sounds fair to me.”, she replied kissing me on the cheek and getting up.
It took hours for me to go to sleep that night. Jennifer had pushed me up against the wall and I knew I had to give her an answer. There was no doubt that I loved Jennifer, but could I really be in love with her. Lately, I had been having a few different feelings towards her, especially when she was skimpily dressed. Several hours earlier when I thought she might have been masturbating aroused me.
Jennifer was a gorgeous young woman and took after Shelby so much it was painful sometimes. She had an athletic body with curves in all the right places. After many hours of contemplation, I had just two options. I could be stern and tell Jennifer that it would never happen and for her to move on and forget the idea forever. Or I could succumb to her charms and take her to bed. The first option might affect our very close relationship. The second could turn out to be a disaster.
I woke up a little after seven o’clock on Sunday morning and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. I saw that Jennifer’s door was closed so I was relieved that she was still asleep. I made a pot of coffee then poured a cup and walked into the living room turning on the television. I was on my second cup when I heard Jennifer’s door open and then the bathroom door close. Several seconds later, I heard the shower turned on.
I sat there and wondered should I immediately talk to Jennifer and put this thing to bed once and for all. I was still extremely confused over this whole situation and had no clue as to what to do. The other matter that I had not given much thought to was how would family and friends react to Jennifer and I in a possible relationship. I am not sure why, but the answer came to me in an instant.
Jennifer emerged from the shower and walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of coffee. She walked around the sofa and to the sofa across from me in white lace panties and a silk tank top. It left little to the imagination.
“Jen, I did not sleep much last night because of our conversation. But I did have a lot of time to think and I have not changed my mind about us. You must concentrate on school and softball for now. We simply cannot be in a romantic relationship at this time. Once you graduate and come home, if you do and you feel the same way maybe we can talk then. I love you with all of my heart Jen. So much so that I can’t take a chance of jeopardizing your future.”, I stated.
“I don’t understand you Jace, but I respect you and love you. I’m disappointed in one way but admire you for being who you are. Maybe I better go put some clothes on.”, she sighed.
“Good idea sweet pea.”, I replied.
Jennifer reluctantly went back to school and made me promise that after she graduated if we were both unattached, we would revisit the relationship. It bought me three plus years of breathing time and hopefully the chance of Jennifer meeting someone and falling in love. I went back to the gym and started working out viciously to help pass the time. The one drawback about living alone is the loneliness late at night.
The next year flew by, and Jennifer got to pitch in relief for Clemson. She had a good season and was promised to start the following year. She made a quick visit during the summer but went straight back to school to work out over the summer break. Thankfully the relationship situation never came up and we got along great with no issues.
We were approaching the holidays again and I was in my office paying some bills when I received a phone call from a movie company asking about letting their cast and crew use the gym to work out. I agreed and they told me a representative would come by and work out the details.
About two weeks later, a young woman came by from Movie Concepts and Solutions. We worked out a deal when anyone with a badge from their company could use the facilities as they wished. They were in town filming a movie about the murder of a prominent politician and his wife. We negotiated a price, and they left several badges for the actors to use as they needed to.
We had grown to be known as the best place to train in the city. I constantly updated the equipment and put all of the profits back into the business. We had yoga, spin, Pilates, and aerobics classes daily. I had an average of ten employees on at any one time to assist the clients with their training.
I was finishing up my work out on a Thursday evening when I noticed a tall very attractive woman walked into the free weight section. She was wearing skintight long yoga pants with a loose t-shirt with a sports bra underneath. She had one of the movie badges attached with a clip to her waist band. She scanned the room and then started walking toward me.
“You must be Jace, the owner?”, she asked.
“Yes ma’am, how can I help you?”, I answered.
“Ma’am……... I looked like a ma’am?”, she laughed.
“Sorry, it’s just a habit.”, I replied.
“No problem…… I was wondering if I could get some advice on training. I’m going to be in town for three months or so. I want to use the spare time to get into great shape. I have several scenes in the movie where I will be partially clothed. They are not being filmed for several months though.”, she added.
“Sure, I will be more than happy to help you.”, I answered. n
“Great, I’m Alexis Timmons but everyone calls me Alex.”, she stated, shaking my hand.
Alex explained to me the areas she wanted to work on. It was mostly lower body. She wanted larger thighs, a tighter butt, and a smaller waist. I really could not figure out why because her body seemed fine. I set her up with some cardio for the day then went downstairs and wrote a program for her to follow in case I was unavailable. For the next month or so, Alexis was a regular although her times varied depending on her schedule.
Over that month, I got to know Alexis and her life story as she knew mine. She was an only child that grew up in Miami and eventually went to Hollywood to try to become an actor. She worked a ton of odd jobs to support herself until she landed her first role. Since then, she has been in seven films, this being the eighth. Although never the star but always as a supporting actress. Alexis averaged about forty thousand dollars per film and had been doing at least two a year thus far.
She had been with the same guy for several years until he asked her to give up acting and settle down. That was two years ago, and she was still thinking that she would land that big role. Now two years later, she was wondering if she had made the right decision. Unfortunately, he had moved on and just recently got married. So, she continued her dream to try and land that one big role.
Somewhere halfway through the film she was close to achieving the look she was after. She had lost almost fifteen pounds and replaced it with about eight pounds of muscle on her lower body. Everyone on the set had noticed and it was great publicity for the gym.
I was finishing up with Alexis on a Friday night when she threw me a huge curveball. She asked me out to dinner and perhaps go drinking in a club after. I had not been out with a woman in ages in fact since Kate and I had separated. After quick thinking, I accepted her invitation although I did mention that I did not drink at all. She replied that she would figure something out. She gave me the address to the house she was renting, and I promised to pick her up about seven the next evening. She told me to dress casually, which I did.
I arrived on time and picked Alexis up. She was dressed in tight jeans and a red silk button down blouse. She had on short black boots which made her appear to be taller than she even was.
We arrived at the restaurant and had a very nice meal and a great dessert. We talked about everything in the sun, but she was particularly interested in Jennifer and our relationship. She found it amazing that a single man would take on a burden as I had done. I never considered Jen as a burden but I kind of understood what she was saying. When we got back to my car she once again mentioned going to a club for a few drinks. I once again brought up the fact that I did not drink so she said she had an idea of where to go. She stated that members of the crew and several actors would hang out there from time to time. She stated that she could have a few drinks and I could enjoy the entertainment. I shrugged my shoulders, and we got in driving to the address that she had provided. As I pulled into the parking lot, I knew this was going to be trouble.
The address was to a very high-class gentleman’s club called the Cataclysm Club. I had heard rumors about this place for years but had never actually stepped foot inside. As I parked the car and turned the engine off Alexis must had noticed my reaction to the club.
“Are you embarrassed to be here?”, Alexis asked.
“No, not really. I guess I’m a little surprised that’s all.”, I replied.
“Oh, they are going to love you in here.”, Alexis giggled.
We walked in and Alexis confirmed that she was on the VIP list with the company. They quickly scanned the list and acknowledged her and brought us to a secluded booth on the right of the huge dance area which doubled as a bar. There were two beautiful girls on the bar dancing for a handful of patrons that were seated there.
We got into our booth where we sat side by side with a small table in front of us. Alexis ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and I ordered a Coke. We had just been served our drinks when a young blonde-haired girl walked over to our table. She was wearing a pair of black lace panties and a bra with a black lace cover-up over it.
“Hey guys, I’m Tiffany. I’ll be your hostess tonight so if you need anything just ask.”, she said seductively.
“Yes, I think my friend could use a dance.”, Alexis giggled.
“Oh, they’re going to have a ball with you big boy. You are some kind of fine.”, she replied, motioning a tall brunette over.
“Hello, I’m Stacy. Would you like a dance?”, she offered.
“Um…… not really.”, I replied.
“Yes, he does…...”, Alexis ordered.
“Would you like to get a private room?”, Stacy asked.
“I guess so….”, I replied thinking privacy would be better.
“I need a credit card first.”, she requested.
I gave Stacy the credit card in my wallet, and she returned a few minutes later with an open ticket. She explained that everything was negotiable, and the bill would be tallied at the end of the night. Alexis and I followed her down a long hallway in the rear of the building. She opened a door on the right side of the hallway, and we followed her in. It was a well decorated room with a large sofa and two huge reclining chairs that faced each other. There was a large audio system on the right side of the room with four speakers, one in each corner of the room. This was all new to me and I had no idea what to expect.
Stacy was wearing a fire engine red body suit with a short red skirt over it. She was really put together and had a body that was built for fucking. She started a song on the audio system and then walked over to me facing me. She then turned around and pushed her firm ass in my direction swaying back and forth slowly. She then lowered her ass until it was pressing against the crotch of my jeans. She rocked her hips back and forth several times and I felt my cock twitch several times. She continued that motion for about a minute then stood up and turned to face me. She then straddled my thighs and sat back down on my lap pressing her crotch against mine in one motion. She took both of my hands in hers and placed them on her hips as she rocked back and forth.
“I thought we couldn’t touch….”, I asked.
“In here, I make the rules.”, she quickly responded.
“Not a problem.”, I replied.
By the time the song ended my dick was as hard as ever. She stood up and went over to the audio system and started another song. She then walked over to me with a huge smile on her face.
“Do you want another dance or should we give your friend one?”, she asked, looking over at Alexis.
“Oh, by all means give her one.”, I laughed.
“Hey now…….”, Alexis protested.
Stacy walked over to Alexis and stood in front of her as she had done to me. The music started and Stacy quickly sat down on Alexis’ lap, giving her little time to protest. She quickly ran her hands over Alexis’ body taking it all in. She began to seductively move back and forth gently on her lap grinding her pussy into Alexis’ crotch. Stacy was staring into Alexis’ eyes telling me that she was definitely into women. Stacy took Alexis’ right hand in hers and lowered it between her legs until it was under her skirt. I could see Alexis was somewhat embarrassed but not enough to pull back her hand.
Stacy then lowered her hand between Alexis’ legs and began to rub her pussy in an up and down motion. I saw Alexis close her eyes as she enjoyed Stacy’s fingers on her jean covered pussy. Alexis’ right hand was having the same effect on Stacy as I saw her face getting flushed. Then Stacy changed all of the rules by reaching down and unbuttoning Alexis’ jeans. She quickly pulled the zipper down and pushed her hand inside of her pants. I could tell the exact moment that Stacy’s fingers first touched Alexis’ pussy. It didn’t take very long for Alexis to cum hard on the end of Stacy’s fingers. In a way, I was surprised that Alexis’ was comfortable being that vulnerable in front of me. After all, this was the first time we were ever out in public anywhere.
Stacy got up and thanked us and made her way out of the room quickly. Alexis quickly straightened herself up and fixed her clothing. She was extremely quiet but that was expected after what she knew I had just witnessed.
We went back out, and she had one more drink but I could see she was extremely self-conscious. I made the suggestion that we should leave, and she agreed quickly. I paid the bill and we walked out to the parking lot and got into my car. I looked at the clock and noticed it was a little after ten o’clock in the evening. I had just pulled out of the parking lot when Alexis spoke up for the first time.
“I can’t believe I let that happen. I’m so sorry.”, she sighed.
“Alexis, you have nothing to be sorry about. You were in the moment, and you went with it. You enjoyed it didn’t you?”, I asked.
“Yes, I did……... but you got nothing out of it.”, she protested.
“That don’t matter…… by the way, uh…... you look really good cumming.”, I laughed.
“Well, that’s good because I love to cum.”, Alexis giggled.
“Who doesn’t?”, I laughed.
“Then why don’t you come back to my place, and we can both cum?”, she suggested.
“How can I turn down an offer like that.”, I replied.
About twenty minutes later, I followed Alexis through the front door of her house. She locked the door behind us and grabbed my hand leading to the large bedroom at the back of the house. She sat down on the bed and pulled her boots off then stood up and unbuttoned her jeans. She pushed them down to the floor, exposing a pair of black silk panties. I quickly did the same and we were on the bed in each other’s arms minutes later.
“I need to tell you something before we go any further.”, Alexis stated.
“Uh…… ok, tell me.”, I replied.
“Before I started doing regular films, I uh…… I did a few adult movies.”, she said quietly.
“Oh…………... how was that?”, I asked, not knowing what else to say.
“It wasn’t bad and the money was decent. Plus, I got to be around people who were completely open about sex. I can’t tell you how refreshing that is. Just two people trying to make each other feel as good as possible. No strings, no games.”, she answered.
“Let’s see if I can make you feel as good as possible.”, I hinted, moving down her body.
I got between her legs and extended my tongue into the wettest pussy I had ever tasted. It was almost as if she had just had a very wet orgasm. She responded immediately by arching her back and grabbing the back of my head.
“Fuck yea, eat that pussy.”, she moaned.
“Are you always this wet?”, I mumbled.
“Yea, and I can squirt to if I’m in the right mood.”, she giggled.
I buried my tongue back into her steaming pussy and sucked on her clit from time to time. She was bucking her hips back and forth as my mouth sent wave and wave of pleasure through her body. Several minutes later, Alexis exploded into an orgasm her body shaking in tremors. I continued to softly lick her pussy as she slowly pushed herself against my mouth. She reached down and pulled me up towards her until we were face to face. She pulled my head down and pushed her tongue into my mouth tasting her fresh cum. She pulled away from me and opened her eyes.
“You have potential, mister.”, Alexis said, smiling.
“I’m sure glad you approve.”, I replied, looking deep into her eyes.
Alexis lifted her lower body and reached down grabbing my firm cock and pressing it into her pussy. She lowered herself slowly on me all the while never breaking eye contact with me. She licked her bottom lip and then began to move slowly back and forth on me. She leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips.
“Hey, um…… are you on anything now?”, I asked.
“Yes, I take the shot., she answered, quickly.
Alexis knew how to fuck and within minutes she had me on the verge of filling her up with cum. She also had a great sense of where her partner was in the encounter. She stopped moving just in time, knowing exactly what she was doing.
“FYI, I need to cum again….”, she laughed.
“Not a problem with me.”, I replied.
She leaned back slightly, and her right hand traveled down below her stomach. She quickly found her clit and began to rub it in an up and down motion. Within minutes, it was obvious that she was approaching another orgasm.
“You’re a very naughty girl…...”, I stated.
“You have no idea just how naughty I am.”, she giggled.
“Then show me.”, I hinted.
She once again began to use her hand on her pussy this time with stronger motions. Within minutes her face, neck and shoulders turned pink. Alexis’ breathing was labored, and her eyes were closed as she hit the peak of excitement.
“Oh fuck, I’m cumming.”, she wailed, as her entire body began to spasm over me.
Alexis’ orgasm was strong and she finally collapsed on the mattress next to me. She rolled over to her back and struggled to regain her breath. I moved down her body once more and started gently licking her extremely wet pussy.
“Oh my god, give me a second……”, she panted.
“I thought you had experience. Are you giving up already?”, I laughed.
“Nope, I never give up……”, Alexis replied.
“Good.”, I replied, pushing my tongue inside of her again.
She was lying back with her arms over her head softly moaning as my tongue covered every inch of her soaked pussy. I heard her sigh several times as I tongue touched her clit. I got up slowly and moved above her slowly positioning myself between her firm legs. I reached down and pushed the head of my cock gently inside of her. She opened her eyes as I pushed slowly inside of her and wrapped her arms around my waist.
“My god……... no one has ever fucked me like this.”, she said softly.
I started moving in and out of her slowly enjoying how tight and wet she was. I leaned over and began to gently kiss her neck and cheek. She eagerly responded as she lifted her hips to meet each and every thrust I made. She began to whisper softly into my ear as I used my tongue on her neck.
“That’s it baby……… fuck me slowly. Slide that dick in and out of me.”, she moaned.
“Did you enjoy Stacy playing with your pussy earlier tonight?”, I whispered in her ear.
“Oh, fuck yea……. I wanted her to…... um eat my pussy.”, Alexis’ replied.
“You want to feel a woman’s mouth on you huh?”, I quickly responded.
“More than anything……”, she moaned.
“Maybe we could make that happen.”, I answered.
I had always enjoyed sex especially being inside of a woman. I think it was more of a feeling of power that this beautiful creature would let you inside of her body. She was allowing you to use her most intimate part of her body for your pleasure.
Every woman I had been with was slightly different in their approach and their feel. First with my sisters, it was simply hurried and little emotion. With Shelby it was pure love which made our being together a wonderful experience. With Shelby’s sister Samantha it was pure fucking for pleasure. But none of them was wet the way that Alexis was. Alexis also gave you the feeling that she was so into the moment.
“God, your pussy feels so fucking good. You’re fucking soaking wet.”, I whispered.
“Oh, I get wet just thinking about sex.”, Alexis’s giggled.
“I’m about to cum inside you……”, I warned.
“No…… I want to suck you off.”, Alexis pleaded.
Alexis slightly pushed me off her then rolled me on my back. She quickly moved down the bed then looked me deep in the eyes as her mouth closed over the head of my cock. She began to move up and down on my cock using her tongue in a swirling motion. It took less than a minute to realize that Alexis knew how to suck a man’s cock. In addition, she rarely broke eye contact with me. It made me feel like she was really enjoying the moment and like pleasuring me. She also let me know that there was not a lot out of bounds when it came to sex.
“You’re going to make me come……”, I whispered.
“Mmmmmmmm…...”, was her only response.
“Alexis……….”, I said louder.
She simply responded by softly taking my shaft in her hand using her thumb to rub the underside of my cock. I felt the cum race up my shaft and saw the moment it erupted into her warm mouth. She blinked her eyes a few times then quickly swallowed my cum using a strong suction. But instead of slowing down, Alexis increased the speed of her mouth on my cock giving me a sensation I had never felt before. For the next several minutes Alexis’ mouth sucked and kissed me cock until I was completely soft in her mouth. The feeling was indescribable and completely drained me. She then moved up the bed and softly kissed my cheek then whispered in my ear.
“How was that?”, she inquired.
I turned towards her and reached for her neck then pulled her close to me. I put my lips on hers and pushed my tongue into her mouth and found hers. She immediately responded with newfound passion and lust pressing hard into my mouth. She was moaning and straddled my thigh and began to rub her pussy against my upper thigh. She broke away from my lips for a moment and opened her eyes simply looking into mine. She brought her right hand up to my face and her fingertips softly caressed my cheek.
“I’m not sure I ever want to get out of your bed.”, she said softly.
“I’m not asking you to……”, I quickly responded.
I had heard the turn I want to fuck all night long many times before, but I thought it was just talk. But honestly that’s exactly what we did until the sun came up and streamed through the bedroom curtains. We fucked and talked then fucked some more. By the time it was morning the both of us were close to exhaustion. We took a shower together then dressed and I took Alexis out to breakfast at a local diner. I then dropped her off back home, but she promised to call me in several hours after she checked with her studio schedule for the upcoming week.
As promised, she called to let me know she would be shooting on Tuesday and Thursday all day but had the rest of the week off. We made a few plans to be together but pretty much decided to wing it most of the way. We made plans to go out that night and have dinner then go back to my house for the night. I had just stepped out of the shower and was drying off when my phone rang. I looked over and noticed it was Jennifer.
“Hey sweet pea, how are you?”, I answered.
“I’m good Jace, how are you?”, she answered.
“Ok sweetie…... what’s up?”, I inquired.
“I need to talk to you……... but I’m not sure how you are going to take this.”, she sighed.
“Jen, whatever it is just tell me. You know I love you. Nothing you can say will change that.”, I promised.
“Jace, I’m in love with someone.”, she admitted.
“When did that happen?”, I asked.
“Almost as soon as I came back up here. I met him a few days later and we just kind of clicked. Please don’t be upset with me.”, Jennifer stated.
“I’m not upset with you Jen. I’m happy for you but I must approve of him.”, I laughed.
“That’s why I’m calling. He’s a senior and graduating soon. He’s been offered two jobs and one of them is there by you. I’m thinking of leaving school and coming back home with him.”, Jennifer stated.
“Wait, you’re quitting school?”, I asked.
“I’m thinking about it.”, she answered.
“Jen, I don’t think that’s a very good idea. You just started college and you have so much ahead of you.”, I replied.
“I know…… I know. But he’s all I ever think of. I don’t want to lose him.”, she said.
“What does he have to say about you quitting school?”, I asked.
“He’s against it. He wants me to play ball and graduate,” she admitted.
“Well, at least he is thinking clearly.”, I replied.
“Jace, we both have about a week off soon. He wants to come interview for the job there and I want to come with him. Could we stay there, and I could talk to you some more about this?”, she asked.
“I think that would be a good idea…...”, I replied.
I instructed her to put the airline tickets on my credit card and that I would pick them up from the airport. We made arrangements and then hung up. I was worried about Jennifer giving up on her dreams and moving back home for someone she had only met months before. I knew how relationships went and I did not want her to risk her future on her first crush.
