Banking on Him

Chapter 18 - Reese

When I woke up, Serena was still sleeping, but the morning sun was shining through the window.  I lay in bed, careful not to wake her, savoring these last few perfect minutes.  I was preparing for her to start putting her walls back up as soon as she woke up.  I knew she would be thinking about work and how soon she could get back home.  I sighed, this weekend had been amazing and I wasn't quite ready for it to end yet.

Slowly, her eyes fluttered open and she smiled lazily.  "How long have you been watching me sleep, creeper?" 

I layed on the southern charm.  "I can't help you're so beautiful when you're asleep."  I reached up to tuck a strand of wild blonde hair behind her ear before trailing my fingers down her face.

She sighed audibly and pressed her body against mine.  Her lips met my chest and my breath caught.  I had started to get hard just watching her sleep, but now I was at full attention.  She giggled when she felt my length brush her leg.  She looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and said, "Let me take care of that for you." 

Before I could even respond, she had shimmied herself down between my legs underneath the sheets and took my cock in her hands.  She placed open mouthed kisses up my entire shaft before taking me as far into her mouth as she could.  She cupped my balls, rolling them between her fingers and I moaned.  She had so easily found my weakness.  The feeling of my cock as far down her throat as it could go and my balls in her hands was about to make me cum.  I threaded my hands into her hair and guided her down further on my dick, wanting to see how far she could go.  When her lips touched my body and she was taking my entire cock in her throat, I pulled her back, letting her know I was about to cum.  She picked up her pace, sucking and licking her way back down my cock, eager to take every last drop.

She let my shaft pop from her mouth and came back up from under the covers, licking her lips, seemingly pleased with herself for getting me off so quickly.  And she should be pleased, little did she know, I hardly ever got off from head, but with her I couldn't hold back. 

She laid her head on my chest and sighed.  "That was for giving me such an amazing day yesterday.  I haven't had that much fun in years.  I don't know if you know this about me, but I can be a workaholic."  She giggled at her own joke. 

"I may have heard that about you."  She looked up at me, serious again.  "Seriously, thank you."  I nodded.  "I just hope you let me give you many more amazing days." 

I don't know why I said that.  I knew she wanted to keep this casual, but apparently my brain lost its filter.  She wasn't looking at me, but I felt her tense marginally.  There was an awkward pause before she got up and picked up my shirt off the floor.  When she turned to face me, the moment was gone.  "So, I think you owe me breakfast." She said with a smirk. 

So, she was choosing to ignore what I said.  Part of me was relieved, thinking it was for the best.  The other part of me wished for it to be true.  I knew I shouldn't be, but I was falling for her already. 

Instead of following that unproductive train of thought, I got up and followed her into the kitchen to make breakfast.

We decided on bagels and lots of fruit.  After breakfast we sipped coffee on the deck, while catching up on some e-mails.  I knew that's what she was doing without asking, because I could see the small v forming between her eyebrows and a frown was set on her face. 

I knew I had it bad, because I desperately wanted to do something, anything to put a smile back on her beautiful face. 

She sighed heavily and practically threw her phone across the table.  I knew work set her on edge, but I wasn't entirely sure how to handle the situation.  I grabbed her hand and she came willingly into my lap.  "What do you say we ignore the real world for a little while longer?  I'll make us a picnic and we can take the boat out for the afternoon.  After lunch, I'll take you back to your car." 

She smiled brightly.  "I'd like that."

"Alright, go get ready and i'll get the cooler and sandwiches."

Twenty minutes later, Serena emerged from my bedroom looking radiant as ever.  I was just finishing up packing the cooler full of sandwiches and finger foods.  She strode up to me and kissed my chest, then my shoulder, then my jaw.  "You better put a shirt on, otherwise we will never make it to the boat."  I laughed out loud, but gave her a quick peck on the cheek and went into the bedroom to change. 

When I got back, shirt and swim trunks on, despite my immense need to take her gorgeous ass right back to bed, we headed down to the boat.  She seemed extremely interested in all my working knowledge and where it came from. 

I told her that being on the lake was my dad's favorite past time and he taught me how to properly care for and maintain a boat.  Going out on the lake had been something we all did as a family, but cleaning and servicing the boat was something dad and I had done to bond.  She was surprised to find that I had actually built the majority of this boat piece by piece after my dad died.  It gave me the structure I needed when I felt life wasn't fair.  Well, building the boat and building his empire, though I assumed she knew quite a lot about the building the empire part.  She was my banker after all.

She spent the afternoon, sunning herself, and I spent the afternoon alternating between watching her and reading a book.

Having feelings was never something I had had to deal with before. I was always the one trying to slow things down in a relationship, not that I had many of those. I liked keeping my distance. I had never found myself in the situation of wanting more from a woman before.  I thought a lot about this while Serena napped in the sun.  Maybe it was the chase that made her so appealing to me, or the fact that she was practically off limits.

I'll admit, the sneaking around had been fun so far but I also longed to take her out and show her off. I wanted her to meet my mom, formally, and my sister and to take her every place she wants to go.

I knew I couldn't actually do that right now, but maybe I was getting ahead of myself. Maybe I just needed to practice the patience I was preaching to her constantly in the bedroom.

*****

After an amazing day in the sun, Serena and I headed back to my place.  I was sad the weekend was over, knowing that her work obligations were going to keep her from me this week.  I had promised to let her focus and I was a man who kept his promises. 
When we got to my house, I helped her put her bags in her car.  She seemed suddenly shy, so I spoke first.  "Thank you for spending the weekend with me."

She smiled, "I had a great time."

"Is it too corny for me to say I'm going to miss you this week?" I asked.

She laughed, "Not corny, but remind me who is the girl in this relationship?"  I grabbed her hips and pulled her to me, trailing my hand down over her chest. "Well, since you've got this great rack, i'd say it's you."  She laughed and smacked me on the arm, before sliding her hands up around my neck and kissing me fiercely.  When we broke apart she whispered, "I'm going to miss you too."

I smiled brightly and patted her on the ass.  "Alright, I better let you go.  I know you have to be a kickass CFO and all that."  She laughed and gave me one last kiss before she was gone.
