Another Man's Treasure (5 page)

Looking at her watch, she groaned. 

“I must have fallen asleep. I’ve been here for two hours.” 

Jude looked down her body and felt that all too familiar twitch in his pants. Just looking at her made his cock hard. Jude grabbed Miranda’s upper arms and pulled her into him.  Sliding his hands over her shoulders to her neck, he tipped her head back and leaned very close to her, placing his lips dangerously close to hers.

“Miranda, I have wanted to do this from the moment I knew you were back in town,”
he whispered against her lips. As his eyes searched hers for an answer, Jude hesitated.

”What are you waiting for
, Jude? Are you going to kiss me or just stare at me?”

“Always sassy and sarcastic, Mandy
.”

Jude teasingly bit her bottom lip. He kissed her gently. Miranda closed her eyes as Jude’s lips met hers. Their kiss deepened and Jude moved his arms down around her waist and held her close. His erection was pushing against his jeans and he began to moan.  Jude stepped back and just stared at Miranda.

“Christ, Miranda. After all these years, you still have such an effect on me.” 

“The feeling is mutual Jude, but,” Miranda started to say, but he promptly cut her off. 

“Unless you are going to tell me you are married or planning a sex change operation, I don’t want to hear it.”

Miranda laughed hard and motioned to her breasts.

rs. Cze=sizeSex change?  What am I supposed to do with these?”

Jude laughed and smacked Miranda on her ass. She scowled playfully at him.  Miranda squealed, put up her fists and started bouncing around.  Jude’s eyes grew as wide as his smile.

“Sassy brat! C’mon, let me give you a ride home.”

“Oh yeah, think you can take me tough guy?” 

“Game on, Mandy!”

He threw up his fists and started to spar with her. Laughing hard, Miranda took off running, with Jude tight on her heels. They got to the SUV and ran around it until they both laughed so hard, they had to quit the game. Miranda walked over to Jude and threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.

“It feels good to laugh and play again. I miss being silly.” 

Jude hugged her tight and kissed her forehead.

“Let me take you home, Mandy. I have an appointment in town with my boss and I need to make sure you’re safe.”

Jude held the door open as Miranda climbed into the SUV. When they reached her driveway, Jude pulled in, put it in park, but left it running. She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss.

“Bye, Jude.”

Miranda started to get out and Jude grabbed her hand. She stopped and turned to look at him. Staring out the windshield for several seconds, he finally turned to her.

“No Miranda. Never again. I will never say goodbye to you ever again. Understand?” 

Her smile faded as she realized he was very serious. She squeezed his hand and quietly spoke.

“Never again. Good night, Jude.”

He let go of her hand and she walked up the porch stairs. He waited to see her turn on the inside light before he backed out and drove away.

Miranda was still a little stunned as she poured a glass of white wine and went into the living room. She put in a DVD and turned on the television. Settling in the chair, she took a couple gulps of the wine as the movie started.

Jude drove to his appointment as he grabbed his cell phone and dialed.

“Craig, its Jude. Yeah, running late. Be there in 15, ok?  Thanks, Craig.” Jude hung up and accelerated.

“I hate being fucking late. But what a reason to be late,” he thought to himself and smiled as he tapped the steering wheel. 
He still felt the burn of her lips and heard the playfulness in her voice.

Waking up this morning without the alarm clock buzzing in his ear was a treat. After his late meeting last night with Craig, Jude decided to take the day off and work from home. First things first, he hit the gym.

Jude drew his naked body out of bed, grabbed some shorts and a tank top, and headed to the master bath to wash up and get dressed. He entered his basement home gym and began his workout routine that lasted about two hours. He worked his arms and chest and decided he would work in some cardio on the treadmill. 

Morning workouts were a great shot of adrenaline for Jude. It pumped him up and gave him the drive to push through the day. Jude finished with some stretches, threw a towel around his neck, ran upstairs to grab his first cup of coffee and took it with him to the study. He shot a quick email to Janice to send all his daily work to him at home. 

Jude sipped his coffee while he pulled up the morning news, along with several financial periodicals. He looked over the stock market and made note of any relevant developments and trends. An email alert sounded so he checked his email and noted that Janice had already sent him the files he needed. Damn, she was a great secretary! He needed to see about getting her a raise in salary.

Buy this, sell that
Jude thought to himself and made several transactions for the firm and a few clients. He walked back to the kitchen, poured another cup of coffee, grabbed his cell phone and called the office. 

“Janice, do me a favor please?  Call and set up a meeting for tomorrow morning with Mr. Johansson and the acquisition team for 9:00 am. If it causes any scheduling conflicts, work around it and shoot me an email of any changes. Thanks Janice, you’re aces.” 

Jude grabbed a pear, held it in his teeth and took his cell phone and coffee back to his study. He sat in his chair and put his feet up on the desk. He sipped his coffee and ate the pear while reading the proposal Craig gave him last night.

Holy sufferin shit!
Company car… expense account…full rein on all decisions and acquisitions
.  As long as he made his deadlines, his time was his own. This was a fantastic opportunity and he knew it.  One part of the proposal stood out above and beyond all the rest…the location of the acquisitions…California…LA to be exact.  Jude smiled, setting down the folder and picking up his cell phone.

Going to take time to do some investigating while out there, Jude ‘ol boy, on a certain redhead…
there is more than inheriting your parent’s house that got you back to Willow, isn’t there Miranda and I am determined to find out what the fuck it’s all about.
Jude dialed the number and drummed his fingers on the desk, waiting for an answer. 

“Ross, Jude Delaney here…yeah I know what fucking time it is in California. When has that ever stopped me from calling you? Listen, Ross…I need some info on a Miranda Jones.  She moved to LA approximately 10 years ago…her
aunt’s name is Sadie Mulroney…anything and everything you can find out.  I will be in LA in about a week.  I will let you know when my flight is booked.  Yeah? Ok, ok…call me back when you are awake.  Thanks, dude.  No, you can’t fucking call me collect, you ass!  You have more money than the Rockefellers for Christ sakes.” Jude laughed and ended the call. Jude finished the pear and threw the core in the empty coffee cup. He leaned back in his chair again and invited some old memories to play out in his mind.

Sweet Jesus, did he just hear her right? After all the chasing and cajoling, Miranda was saying yes? Two years he had been completely infatuated with this gorgeous redheaded girl and now, tonight, she was finally going to be his?  He leaned b
ack and looked her directly in the eyes.

“Miranda, are you sure? Don’t screw with me here and change your
mind, because I won’t be able to stop.” 

Moving back slightly, Miranda reached
down and               rubbed his hard cock through his jeans, never losing eye contact with Jude.

“I’m sure
, Jude. I want you as bad as you want me. We have waited long enough.”

Seventeen years old, graduating in a couple months, Miranda was more than ready to give up her virginity to this boy.  Although she never spoke the words, she knew in her heart she loved Jude Delaney. 

Jude pulled her close, he reached around her back and unhooked her bra, tossing it on the ground.  Holy fuck, her breasts were magnificent, large and taut.  He pulled her against him so he could feel them pressed into his flesh. Kissing her hard, Jude ran his hands up and down her back and moaned into Miranda’s mouth.

“Miranda, baby, you feel so good against me. I gotta have you NOW!”  

Jude lifted Miranda up so that he could remove her shorts and panties. He summoned all his self-control not to Kntrze=rip them from her curvy body.  Jude unbuckled his belt and slid his pants down as Miranda watched with growing excitement. This was the first time she had ever seen a boy’s penis and she was in utter awe of Jude’s toned, well-endowed body.

Watching her reaction as he took her hand and placed it around his swollen cock, Jude whispered to her.

“Mandy, baby?  Is this your first time?” 

Miranda shook and nodded as tear ran down her cheek from embarrassment. She whispered and lowered her chin.

“Yeah, it is.”

Gently lifting her chin, Jude caressed her cheek.

“It’s ok, baby.  We will go slowly.  I’ll be careful…trust me?” 

Miranda nodded again and Jude pulled her close,
              rolling her over on her back.  Shedding his jeans, he moved her legs apart and settled in between her knees.  His cock was throbbing and swollen, almost painfully so. Jude leaned down and kissed Miranda tenderly.  Slowly he entered her and felt the barrier.

“This may hurt a bit baby, but I promise not for long…just relax.”               

Entering her as gently as he could, Miranda cried out slightly and Jude began to move in and out slowly.  After the first initial shock of
the pain, Miranda enjoyed the sensations running amok through her body.  So much of what happened next was a blur.

She reached up and buried her head in Jude’s neck as he pumped in and out
              of her pussy.  She closed her eyes tight and the flash of colors that danced in               her brain as an orgasm flooded her body was exquisite.  She could hear Jude groan and call out her name as he pulled out quickly and came on her stomach.  Collapsing on top of her, Jude laid over her body as they both caught their breath.
