Seeing Forever (12 page)

He sat down, resigned to the fact that she wasn’t
coming, and probably wouldn’t ever again.
 
Jake had put his mind at ease. ‘Sometimes
working relationships morph into romances.’ He’d felt better hearing that but
now he was back to thinking he’d been an idiot for crossing that fine line.

It wasn’t such a big deal as far as training Willow
went, but the truth was
Katey
brought him comfort and
calm in his now scary and dark world. He needed her in his life.

He was sure he’d heard a car on the driveway and
then a car door opening and slamming shut. He stood and almost fell over in his
rush to get to the door. Willow rushed to him and he fumbled for the harness.

They arrived at the front door before she even had
chance to ring the bell. He opened it back and smiled.

“
Katey
, you’re late.”

“Luc,
it’s
Sadie Sutton.”

His heart sank.

“Can I come in?”
“Sure.”
“
Katey’s
on her way,” said Sadie getting hold of his
arm and leading him back into the living room.

“You spoke to her?”

“No.”

“Then…’

She tapped him on the arm. “Trust me when I say that
I know these things.”

Sadie kept her hand on his arm and for some strange
reason, he believed her and knew everything between him and
Katey
wasn’t as bad as he’d thought.

“I thought I’d stop by to see how things are going.”

“Fine.
Willow’s
been doing a good job, and
Katey’s
been working hard
training him to work with me.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

If
Katey
was on her way,
just where was she?

“Oh, and before I forget.
I’ve
brought you two tickets for the symphony concert on Saturday. I thought it
would be ideal for you to go along with
Katey
. I
checked and service dogs are welcome in there too.”

“I don’t really think…”

Sadie put her hand on his arm again. That was weird,
going out on the town was the last thing he wanted to do but right now he was
so looking forward to it.

“Then that’s all settled. I’ll leave the tickets on
the table here. I must be getting back to my office … no need to show me out.”

He sensed that she was leaving the room. “Ms.
Sutton.”

“It’s Sadie, and yes.”

“Thank you.”

“Just a special treat for my clients.”

Luc tapped the arm of the couch hearing the car
backing out of the driveway and then he heard another one pulling up outside
the garage door. He wouldn’t get his hopes up this time. Once again it might
not be
Katey
.

The doorbell rang and Willow nudged him.

“Okay, okay.”

He stood and sensed that Willow was looking forward
to
Katey’s
arrival as much as he was because he could
hardly hold him back. He slapped the wall and then found the door handle and
pulled it open.

“Hi.”

Shit, he went weak at the knees just hearing her say
that tiny word.

“I thought maybe you weren’t coming today but then
Sadie Sutton stopped by and said not to worry.”

“Sadie was here?”

“Yes, you must have passed on the road because she
left only a couple of seconds before you.”

“No, I didn’t pass another car.”

That was strange, but all that mattered was
Katey
was here now.

“I got a call about a job application so it detained
me. Sorry I’m late.”

Willow walked him to the living room and by the
scent of her perfume he could tell that she was close beside him.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.” There, he’d said it.

“I’m the one who should be saying that. I was rude
and shouldn’t have left like I did but I didn’t know how to react after we’d
had sex.”

He reached out, feeling just air at first but then
he made contact with her arm.

“I guess I was acting like a typical male and
instead should have held you, snuggled with you.”

“Then let’s say we’re both to blame and start over.”

Wow, he’d never met a woman who didn’t insist that
she
was right.
Katey
was quite something.

“
Okay,
and you can start by
giving me a kiss,” he said.

He closed his eyes as her lips went on his. That had
been a mistake. Now his libido was in overdrive again.
 
She pulled away.

“Sadie left two tickets for the symphony orchestra
concert on Saturday night. Service dogs are allowed in there so it probably
will be a good test for Willow.”

“I think that’s a great idea. Do you have anyone to
go with you?”

He smiled. “You want to go?”

“
You asking
me out on a
date?”

“You know, I think I am.”

****

Katey
almost regretted that she’d volunteered to pull weeds in Luc’s garden.
 
She guessed no one had done it for a long
time. She wiped her brow with the back of her hand as the tennis ball Luc had
thrown for Willow rolled close to her knees.
 
She threw it into the middle of the lawn as Willow raced after it.

“How you doing?”
Luc
called over to her.

“I’m getting there.”

“You need some help?”

“You sure?”

“I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t.”

She sat with her legs crossed and watched as he got
up and slowly made his way to her. Willow rushed to his side and guided him
away from the rose bushes he was heading toward. Jake had done such a great job
with the shepherd, so what they needed her for, she didn’t really know. However,
she’d never tell Luc or Jake because now she liked hanging out at his house and
being in his company.

Suddenly she felt sad. What would she do when the time
came for them to part ways? Sure she’d told him she’d stop by and take Willow
for a run in the park, but it wouldn’t be the same. And truth was she’d just
applied for a part-time job at the local pet warehouse. She couldn’t live with
her dad and Ruth for much longer, so she’d need to find more steady employment
very soon.

Luc knelt down and she touched his hand to let her
know she was right beside him.

“How about we pull weeds together?” she asked.

“Sounds like a deal.”

She wrapped his hand around hers and lifted the
first one out of the soil.

His breath tickled her ear as he moved in behind her
and shifted his body behind hers.

“Smells like the lavender’s in bloom,” he said,
raising his nose in the air.

“Yep.”

“Would you snip a piece of it off and let me smell
it up close?”

“Sure.”

Katey
took
the clippers and cut off a few heads of the flower. She put it close to him and
he held her hand as he took in the scent.

“I miss seeing them. They’re from my late mother’s garden
and they were her favorite. When we sold Mom’s house, Josie took half of them
and I planted the rest here.”

“They are beautiful.”

He let his hand linger on hers and looked up at her
before reaching up and outlining her lips with his fingers. Luc leaned in and
kissed her.

“I want to make love to you again,” he whispered.

“I’d like that.”

“I don’t think we should do it out here, though, do
you?”

“Probably wouldn’t be a good idea,” she said as they
rested their foreheads against one another.

“And this time be prepared for a mind-blowing
climax…I have my reputation to think about.”

Chapter
Thirteen

“Poor Willow must wonder where we disappear to and
why this room is sometimes off limits,” said
Katey
,
as she ran her hand down Luc’s stomach.

“At least he gets to rest.”

Katie turned onto her side. She ran her pinkie
around the tip of his cock. “Since you’ve lost your sight do you feel things
more intensely?”

“Funny you should ask that because I’m not sure if that’s
normal or if it’s because it’s you, but right now, it’s the experience of a
lifetime.”

Katey
wrapped her hand around his shaft and moved it up and down like he’d shown her.
Luc groaned.

“You keep that up and I’m going to come before I get
inside you.”

He flipped over onto his side so they were facing
one another, his warm breath now on her shoulder. Luc reached out and felt
along her collar bone and then headed south until he found her nipple. He
rolled it between his finger and thumb, turning it hard. It throbbed in time
with her heartbeat.

“Are your nipples light or dark pink?”

She’d never thought about it before and had to
glance down so she described them accurately.

“I’d call them dusty pink.”

“My favorite color and I bet they taste good, too.”

Katey
pushed her head back as Luc began sucking on her nipple and then playfully and
gently pulling on the very tip with his teeth.

His hand rolled over her belly and down into her
pubic hair.

“And I’m guessing these are pretty curls.” He kissed
her while letting his finger glide downwards.

She didn’t have to be asked this time, she parted
her legs for him, resting one over his calf.

“
A guy ever play
with your
clit before?”

“Nope.”

He didn’t say anything but began stroking it until
it ached and throbbed like her nipples. She rested her chin on his shoulder,
suddenly feeling relaxed, euphoric almost. And while he might not see it, he
could probably feel her almost drooling on him.

Luc picked up intensity, circling it and then
rubbing his finger across it until her jaw dropped open some more. Her legs
felt tingly and her belly, well something was happening in there too. She
groaned and dug her fingers into his arms.

“
Katey
, just relax honey,
just let me do all the work.”

Was this it?

He pressed one more time and she felt the room spin
and heat travel throughout her pussy.

I’ve
just had my first orgasm.

She moaned and didn’t know why but felt the need to
run her tongue along his collarbone.

“I take it you came?” said Luc.

“Did
I
ever.”

“Wait ‘til you come with me inside you. They’ll hear
you three states away.” He slid his finger inside her and tickled her pussy.
Her legs jerked and she grew wetter as he delved even deeper. Last night’s
soreness was suddenly gone and forgotten.

“I have an idea,” said Luc.

Luc slid his finger out of her, flipped over and
pulled her up onto his thighs. He ran his hand back and forth over them.

“Women always get more direct stimulation on
top…well, at least that’s what the ladies have told me, so let’s do it this
way.”

“I’m going to be too heavy for you.”

He slapped her butt and she laughed.

“
Katey
, I’m not lying to
you when I say I hate skinny girls. I haven’t seen it but by what I’ve felt I
love your body.
It’s
round, curvy and I can’t get
enough of it.” He slapped her ass again.
“Nothing worse than
spanking a skinny butt.”

He was a sweetheart. She leaned over and kissed him.

He ran his hands over her face, outlining her lips
and tucked her hair behind her ears as it flopped forward, probably tickling
his cheeks.

“You want to get a condom for me, because I’m in
desperate need of getting inside that hot pussy of yours.”

Katey
reached over to the bedside table and grasped the foil package. She tore it
open for him. She placed it in his hands and the two of them rolled the condom onto
him.

“Okay, ready when you are, just lift yourself up and
then down onto my cock.”

She still wasn’t sure she wasn’t going to hurt him,
but she raised her butt and took his shaft in her hands between her legs and
gently introduced his cock to her pussy. She lowered her body, feeling him fill
her, but this time with no pain.

“Feels good,” she said.

He slapped her left thigh. “I can do some of the
work but it’s up to you, to lift yourself up and down.”
