If, Buts and Maybes

I don't think there is a sound more beautiful, than the moan that left her mouth as soon as my fingers entered inside of her. I don't know what it was about that nipple ring, but the sight of it made my dick twitch. Why did I wear such tight pants? I switch from the nipple with piercing to the other and watch as her head falls back. "Hunter" she moans while gripping tightly on my arm. I move my face back up to hers and watch as her mouth creates the perfect 'O' shape while fingers begin to pump in and out of her faster.

I take my thumb and begin to circle her clit creating more pleasure for her. "Fuck" she hisses. Even the way she curses is enough for me. I kiss down her body, making sure to devour every part until my lip meets her inner thigh. I kiss lightly leaving wet trails behind them. I replace my thumb, which is caressing her clit, with my tongue. I suck on the small bundle of the nerve while curling my fingers up higher inside of her. "Hunter...I'm gonna-"

"Not now...not yet." I interrupt her. I want this feeling to be euphoric for her and nothing else. I spit on her clit before taking my tongue and building up the pace of my licks. She grips onto the roots of my hair pulling tight, which lets out a groan from her mouth. I'm guessing it sent vibrations all around her wet pussy, because the grip became tighter. She takes her free hand and bites down on it trying to hold back her screams. The view from her pussy, watching her chest move up and down, is the best thing I have ever seen.

"It's okay baby, let it out," I tell her

She takes her hand away from her mouth and screams out in pleasure, letting her orgasm drip all over my finger and tongue. I make sure to devour every taste of her that's seeping onto me. Her breathing finally begins to slow down. I move up to her body and kiss her pants. She places her tongue on mine and bites my lower lip, tasting her juices from my lips.

I pick her up and laying her down in bed. I pick her shorts up from the floor and put them on her. I walk to switch the light off. "Where are you going?" she asks innocently. "I'm just switching the light off baby," I reply.

"Oh okay."

I make my way over to her and lay next to her, making sure to wrap the duvet around her properly. She scoots into me and I wrap my arms around her. She traces my tattoos with her finger and questions "When did you get these?"

"I got them after I left England. I guess as a sign of rebellion or summat. When did you get your piercing?" I ask teasing her

"I got it after you left," she admits

"Hm." I hum

"Hunter?" she questions with worry in her voice

"Yeah, Mackenzie?"

"I'm scared," she admits. I know exactly what she means. She's scared that this isn't going to work out. She's scared that I'm going to hurt her again. She's scared that everything is going to shits up and I don't blame her. But I have to show her that she has nothing to be scared about, saying it doesn't prove anything.

"I know baby. But everything is going to be okay." I comfort

"Pinky?" she says while holding her little finger

"Pretty pinky," I reply, linking my little finger with hers, knowing that was our way of promising. I caress her hair and finally hear small deep breaths. I look down at her and see her fast asleep. I don't know how anyone could be so perfect, but she is. I kiss her forehead and then let myself drift off.

A bright light hits my face, waking me up from my dreams. My body begins to adjust to the light of the day and I lift my head up slightly. I pat around on the other side of the bed until I realize that there is no one there. I search frantically wishing to find any indication of him by my side. Oh god I ruined things, didn't I? I begin to question everything about last night, that is until my eyes land on a small note on my bedside table and a tall glass of water. I take a sip before opening the note.

I'm sorry, work called me in early because of a problem. Have a great day at work baby, and let me know when you wake up. Don't worry, I'll grab Eric with me. Glad you loved your birthday x

I smile at the note, with a small laugh leaving my lips. Guess it wasn't a dream after all. I step out of bed and walk into the bathroom, ready to begin my day.

I walk into work's building and begin making my way to the office. The construction of the new offices is almost complete. I open my door and see Sapphire sat in front of my desk with her head on the table. "Sapph?" I question. She lifts and turns her head towards me. My eyes widen at the state of her face. She looks horrible

"I know, I look like shit," she states. I try and give her a smile that disagrees but facial expressions betray me. "What happened?" I ask, walking to my side of the desk.

"Sam would not stop arguing last night. Barely slept," she says weakly

"You said everything was, okay?"

"It was, but then he asked who I was on phone with and didn't believe me when I told him it was you. Then everything just exploded. He said a lot of hurtful things." she says while trying to hold back the tears in her throat.

I go over and hug her tight while she lets out her cry into my shoulders, finally giving in to her emotion. "Shhh, it's okay. What did he say?"

She pulls her head away from my shoulders and grabs a tissue to wipe her tears away from me. "Um, you're not gonna like it," she warns. I look at her with a concerned expression waiting for her to tell me what's been said. What could he have possibly said to hurt her this much. He has never been the type to upset her, always comforting and loving. "Well, he called me some names, until I put him in his place and reminded him who the fuck he was talking to."

"As you should." I reply earning a small laugh from her. I grab a water bottle from my mini-fridge and place it in her hands, for her to hydrate herself. She thanks me and takes a sip from the bottle. "Are you sure you wanna work today, I can give you the day off to catch up on rest." I inform her

"No, it's fine. You have an extremely busy day, and I think being at work will keep my mind off things."

I give her a warm smile and hug her again letting her know if she needs anything to let me know. I know people may think that having your best friend work for you may cause conflicts, but no matter if it was Sapph or any other employee, their mental health is my main priority. We all work in a field where we are the safe place for other people's burdens that at times we forget to deal with our own feelings.

She walks towards her office and stops to remind me to send out the New Year's Eve event invitations for the office. I begin replying to emails until my first appointment arrives. I quickly glance at my phone to see if Hunter has replied to my 'good morning' text but nothing.

I can already tell this day is going to be extremely long.
