“I know the feeling,” Teyler says as he nuzzles into Colleen’s neck. “Is Taylor going to be out for the night?”
Colleen’s eyes widen. “Um, I don’t know. Why?”
“I’d like to finish what we started the other night. I’m dying for another taste, baby.”
Colleen blushes pink at the memory of her leg over Teyler’s shoulder while he licked her pussy to perfection. She’d been seconds away from the best orgasm of her life when Callan Black had interrupted them. She’d like nothing more than to finish what they started as well. But she couldn’t do that if Taylor was going to be the next one to interrupt them.
She sends her daughter, who seems to have disappeared with her childhood crush, a text.
Colleen: Should I leave the door unlocked?
Taylor: You can just ask me if I’m staying with Cole and he’s still technically married, so it’s not like that. And this trying to call him Cody shit is ridiculous!
Colleen: Well?
Taylor: Mother, are you trying to get rid of me? And if you are, don’t explain or I’ll barf.
Colleen: WELL???
Taylor: Okay, okay, keep your clothes on. PLEASE! No. I’m not coming home. Have fun and use protection. Don’t forget what happened last time.
Colleen: I got the best part of my life.
Taylor: Love you too, Ma.
Colleen: Be safe. See you tomorrow. And remember he’s still married.
Taylor: His divorce will be final in a few months. I’ll text before I come home. I don’t want to catch Dad doing the walk of shame. LOL! And I know the score with Cody. *eye roll emoji* I’m fine.
“Well?” Teyler asks as he lets his tongue tease behind Colleen’s ear.
“She’s staying out.”
“I’m not sure if I should be as happy as I am about that.”
Colleen laughs. “Oh, please. She lost her virginity to him when she was home on Christmas break her freshman year of college. It’s been years, Tey. I’ve told her it’s not good for her, but she won’t listen. She needs to learn her own lesson. She’s using him to hold back from having a real relationship. She knows she’ll never have one with him. He’s married for fuck’s sake.”
“Again, I don’t like it, but, baby, I’m so fucking hard up and turned on by you, I can’t think of anything else. Let’s get out of here.”
Before they can make their escape, the room grows silent when Jenny Collins says, “Can I have everyone’s attention? First, I would like to thank everyone for coming out tonight, dressing up, and donating to The Perfect Pet, the new and improved animal shelter of Falls Village.” Everyone applauds to show the young girl they’re proud of her accomplishments before she can continue. “To end the evening, Beast and his friends would like to put on a parade for you. The dogs, minus Beast, of course, are available for adoption. If you’d like an application, grab one at the front desk on your way out. Any questions feel free to ask. Again, thank you for all your support.”
Colleen smiles as a puff of air from Teyler’s laughter brushes her ear when the regally dressed Beast starts prancing around the room with the other dogs following behind. “I can see why that dog has a spell on him.”
“Look,” Colleen says as she nods toward Callan and Jordan having a private and what appears to be an intimate conversation. Callan has her trapped against a wall, his arms caging her in on either side and his big body blocking hers. She isn’t trying to get away and Callan takes a chance. He lowers his mouth to Jordan’s and takes her in a heated kiss.
“’Bout time,” Teyler says. “Now, come on. I need to get you home.”
“Why? Is my costume going to turn back into rags at the stroke of midnight?”
“No. But my dick is going to embarrass me well before then. I’d like to be buried deep inside you when it does.”
“Oh.” Colleen sighs as Teyler takes her hand and they start back to Spill the Tea for Teyler to grab his car. It’s chilly and there’s a breeze coming off the harbor, so he’d rather have Colleen warm in his car than catching a chill on the short walk to her place.
When they arrive at the shop, Teyler opens the passenger side door of his sports car, his one guilty pleasure he’s allowed himself to splurge on and helps Colleen in. Most of his money is in savings or was used to start up his basketball training app. Once inside the car, Teyler turns on the heat and zooms off in the direction of Colleen’s quaint home.
Along the way, they pass a few of the townspeople walking back to their cars, storefronts, or homes, and wave. When they pass Mallory James and Kevin Travens, Colleen asks Teyler if he likes art.
“Art? Like what kind of art?”
“Kevin is an artist. Paintings mostly, but he’s branching out into some sculptures and things. Mallory’s gallery might be a fun…um, date night. I mean, if that’s what we’re doing. Dating.”
“We’re doing more than dating, baby. You’re mine, you always have been. I’ll take you anywhere you want to go, but understand, I don’t share.”
That has Colleen laughing as she opens her door to climb out and finds Teyler in her space. He backs her against his car and cages her in the way Callan Black had had Jordan caged in at the fundraiser. It’s a move of pure male dominance and it gets her heart rate going. Thankfully, she’s been exercising and feels a world better so she’s pretty sure the speed of her heart is being caused by the man pressing his big body, his erection fighting for release, against her, and not a heart attack.
“Did I say something funny? Because I’m not fucking around. I don’t want you with another man.”
“Tey, I haven’t been with another man since…” She clears her throat. “And, yeah, I feel great and my cholesterol has never been lower, but I’m still fat by everyone’s standard.”
“Not fucking mine, you’re not. I’m done trying to make you understand how attracted I am to you. Now I’m going to show you.”
Teyler takes Colleen by the hand and tugs her toward her front door. “Wait,” she demands. “We, ah, we use the back entrance if we’re not going in through the garage. I don’t have a key for the front door on me.”
Teyler growls over the additional steps it’ll take to have her in private. He quickens their pace and runs his hand over his head while she fishes out her keys. “You need a fucking security system that gives you quick entry.”
Colleen laughs again. “In Falls Village?”
“I don’t care where you are, I want you safe. I come with baggage, baby. Fans that hate or love me. I’m talking to Black in the morning, he’ll agree with me.”
Then Teyler’s lips cover hers and Colleen forgets all about Halloween costumes, pet shelters, and crazy fans.
They fall into the house together and Colleen can’t seem to find the light switch that was on the wall the last she checked. The light from the hallway will have to be enough to illuminate their path to the bedroom.
“You realize this will be the first time we have sex and can spend the entire night together,” Colleen states as they fumble with their clothes on their way into her master suite.
