Banking on Him

Chapter 38 - Serena

It took me a month to pack up my condo, mostly because after giving my resignation at work, Harry had me working overtime to create detailed lists of everything that I do.  He wasn't confident that they were going to be able to find someone before my notice was up.  So, between the crazy hours I was working for the bank and the time I was spending getting our new consulting business started with Erica, I hardly saw Reese.  

Even so, he was super supportive during the whole process.  He brought me dinner almost every night and was happy to see me even if it meant I fell asleep during a conversation.  He never once complained, but I could tell towards the end he was getting a little annoyed.  Finally, I set a date for the movers to come to get the boxes I packed and the following weekend I was officially moved into Reese's house.  

I flopped down onto the couch and kicked my shoes off on Sunday afternoon.  We had just finished unpacking all my boxes, and I was exhausted.  Reese sat down next to me and handed me a glass of pinot grigio.  "I love the service around here," I said as I took the glass.  Smiling I took a sip.

He chuckled and bumped my shoulder with his, "So, what are we doing tonight Ms. James?"

"Well, I thought I would take a well deserved night off, and we could order takeout and maybe take a bath in that big bathtub you never use."

"I might have used it more often if there was a beautiful woman in there."

I smacked his shoulder and shook my head.  "Go get the takeout menus.  I'm in the mood for Chinese."

After dinner, Reese cleaned up while I headed into the bathroom to take advantage of my new bathtub.  It felt crazy to be saying that, but Reese kept insisting that this was our place.  I turned on the water and grabbed the bubble bath I had bought just for the occasion.  

I was lighting candles when Reese slipped into the bathroom.  He wrapped his arms around me, and his lips found that spot on my neck that always made me groan out loud.  I could feel his smile against my skin before he turned me around and lifted me to sit on the edge of the counter.  I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply, desperate to reconnect with him after the craziness of the past month. 

I grabbed the edge of his shirt and slipped it over his head, tossing it onto the floor.  His pants and briefs went next, and before I knew it, he was standing before me completely naked.  I ran my fingers down his chest, and he practically ripped my shirt off.  "I need you, now Serena," he whispered as he unbuttoned my shorts and lifted me to slide them off my body.  He kicked them away and focused his attention on my now naked body.  

His lips started a trail down my neck and headed towards my core.  I opened my legs to give him more room and he slipped two fingers inside me as his lips continued their descent towards where I needed him most.  I slipped my fingers through his hair and tugged gently, encouraging him to pick up the pace.  He moved his fingers in and out of me while his tongue lapped at my clit until I was just about to cum then he entered me in one quick motion, his hands gripping my hips.  

My nails dug into his back as I urged him on.  "Harder... Please... I need... I need."  My pleas were cut off when my orgasm overtook me.  I felt weightless as wave after wave of pleasure overtook me.  Reese slammed into me one last time before I felt his release.  

Reese took a minute to recover, his head resting on my shoulder.  Eventually, he kissed me softly and scooped me up, heading to the bathtub.  He stepped in before he set me down.  I slipped down into the bubbles, settled in between his legs, and sighed contently.  "I could definitely get used to this."

"You better," he replied as his arms circled me, pulling me down deeper into the blissfully warm water.  

I smiled, realizing for the first time in a long time, everything in my life was going right.

As always, thank you so much for reading!  I know that I have been MIA for a while, so anyone who was keeping up with this story has probably been missing it.  I was on vacation for the holiday's and then work got crazy.  Regardless, I'm going to make an effort to post once a week and finish Reese and Serena's story for y'all.
