A Somers Dream Read online

  CHAPTER 6

  Penny tip-toed her way into Shane’s room and quietly closed the door behind her. She stood there for a few moments, letting her eyes adjust to the dimness of the room. She can see Shane’s silhouette on the bed and the butterflies began in the pit of her stomach. Slowly, she crossed the room and reached the side of his bed. She stood there, scanning the length of his body and her eyes rested on his face. He looked so handsome, peaceful, lying there she almost felt guilty waking him up. Almost. She lifted her hand and slowly started to slide it down his chest, tracing his nipples as she went along. She heard his breath catch and looked towards him and saw two eyes staring back at her. She pulled her hand away and Shane grabbed it. “Don’t stop”, he said. With his encouragement, she continued her ministrations, starting at the base of his neck, slowly working towards the chest, across the nipples, down the navel and slowly past the hardness that was straining against his pants. She bent over him and lightly kissed him where her hand had left its trail, sensuously stopping to lick at his nipples as she made her way lower and lower and lower. Shane was about to lose his mind. He reached for her and drew her in for a kiss. Penny tumbled on top of him and joined in the assault he started on her lips. Tongue for tongue, they explored each other’s mouths, necks and ears, both wanting more and both striving to get it. Shane was about to slip off her negligee when she held his hands, she made the sound that would mean no and she put his hands above his head. As Penny straddled him, she slowly reached down to the hem of her negligee and slowly started to lift it, removing it completely. All Shane could do was watch and enjoy. “Absolutely beautiful” he said as he made to grab her to pull her down. “No”, she said “Hands stay above the head, no touching” and she, once again, put his hands behind his head. When she made that move, her breasts moved closer to his mouth and he tried to get a lick but she pulled back fast. Again, he made a move to touch her. “Am I going to need those straps you talked about?” and she put his hands back where she wanted them. “Most likely”, he replied and groaned as she bent over him. She remained hovered over him for a few moments, teasing him with her breasts which were so close to him but he still couldn’t reach. As she began to slide her way down, her nipples slightly touching his body made Shane groan in agony. As her hips reached his groin, she began to grind against him, feeling him as he laid there trying to remain still. “The hell with this”, he said and grabbed her so that he was on top of her. Penny let out a moan as Shane went straight for her breast and sucked on her nipple until it felt raw with need. Her hand cupped her breast, urging him to continue, to take his fill and he did just that. When he left her breast, Penny gave a slight cry; the feeling was so good she didn’t want it to end. Then, a new feeling washed over her as he made his way down her navel and felt his breath upon her mound. Shane began to kiss her, there, through the fabric of her underwear. Penny wanted to feel more; she wanted to feel his breath on her bare skin so she reached down to remove them. Shane brushed her hands away, “Oh no. Don’t make me get the straps. Behave” and he continued to kiss her, nip her slightly, and tease her by stroking his finger on her upper inner thigh until she was wet with wanting. Penny began squirming, lifting her hips for more as sweat began to bead on her forehead “Please” she begged, knowing that she will just die if he doesn’t take her now. “In due time, love” he replied “I want to taste more of you” and with that being said, he pulled off her underwear and lowered his mouth. As he licked and tasted her, his tongue delving inside, Penny grabbed his head and held him. She was losing her mind and loving it. Shane grabbed her from underneath and lifted her so that he could get better access, his tongue reaching in for the honey. Lapping away like she was giving him some type of life source that he needed and without it, he would die. Penny felt like she was going to explode, her insides were as tight as an overwound clock and she knew she was coming fast. “Shane, oh God please” she begged again needing to feel him inside her. “What do you want, love. Tell me. What do you want” he replied as he slipped his finger inside her. He could feel her tighten and that nearly undid him. His cock was so hard and throbbing, he didn’t think he could continue with this little game. But he wanted to hear her say it, he wanted her to say she wanted him, wanted him inside her. He didn’t have to wait long to hear those words and that made him even harder. “I want you inside me. I want it now” she was breathing laboriously now, panting each word as if it was difficult to form them. “What do you want inside you?” He was going to keep it going, continue the teasing until one of them lost control. “This” she said through clenched teeth, she slid her hand inside his pants, grabbed his cock, tightened her hand around it and pulled “This is what I want. This, hard and deep, inside me” That was the only incentive he needed. Reaching over to the night stand, he grabbed a condom out of the drawer. Shane pulled off his pants, covered himself with the contraceptive and hovered over her, staring into her eyes, seeing passion and wanting. He slowly began to enter her, she was wet and tight. Penny wrapped her legs around his waist and Shane almost lost control, so he stopped. “Oh my god, don’t stop!” Penny cried out and grabbed a hold of his backside and used her legs to push him further in. “Baby, hold on. You’re so tight and wet; I don’t want this to be over before it begins” Shane said through gritted teeth, he was going to lose composure. Penny didn’t care, she wanted to feel all of him in her, so she clenched her muscles tighter and made a move to roll over. Shane, not paying any attention, realized what was happening and held onto her lest he slip out. Now that Penny was on top, she began to move, grinding her hips, riding him without abandon. She could feel the urge pushing down, wanting out. She moved faster and faster, swaying and grinding with her hands on his chest for leverage and Shane holding onto her hips lest she buck herself off. “Oh God yes!” she cried out, feeling the intensity, the sensation that soon, very soon, she is going to be in heaven. Shane was ready, he could feel it, like a volcano ready to explode he was ready. He felt her spasm, feeling the hot liquid leave her body and he joined her, both giving out a cry of relief and satisfaction. Penny, feeling spent and weak, draped herself over his body. Shane held her close, feeling her heartbeat going a mile a minute, giving soft kisses and caresses as she tried to regain her strength. Penny lifted herself up on her elbows and looked down at him. “That was amazing”, she said “Can we do it again?” Shane smiled up at her, laughed and replied “For as long as you want”. Penny slid off to the side of him and, head on his shoulder, arm over chest and leg over leg, began to fall asleep. She was happy and sated and was already beginning to dream of round two. As Shane lay silently, listening to her breathing, he was already beginning to dread the time she had to leave. He decided he was just going to have to make this week the best week of their lives. Come hell or high water. With that thought in mind, he pulled off the condom, tossed it in the waste basket he had next to the bed and drifted off to sleep with Penny in his arms.

  CHAPTER 7

  Daylight came too quickly as far as Penny was concerned. The night she had with Shane was so passionate and wonderful that she didn’t ever want it to end. They made love four times before finally giving into their bodies demands to sleep. It had been a long time since Penny had a man sleep next to her but with the exertion she spent, sleeping was not an issue. She felt warm and comfortable and secure lying in Shane’s arms last night that when she woke, she couldn’t help but smile. Feeling his arm around her and not wanting to wake him, Penny slowly removed it so that she could get up. “And where are you off to, young lady?” She looked over her shoulder and saw Shane giving her the most incredible smile she had ever seen and she melted back into him. She didn’t really want to move but nature was calling her. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you. I was just going to the bathroom” she said as she was beginning to settle herself back into his arms. As she snuggled in closer, Shane moved so that she ended on her back and he was above her looking down. She had sleep in her eyes and it was the most erotic look he had ever
seen. With a small growl, he bent his head and began kissing her, slowly, tasting and savoring each pore until he could define every single one. Penny reached up and cupped his cheeks in her hands, enjoying his early morning kiss. “What do you say we pick up where we left off?” he said in between kisses while his hand began to explore exposed parts of her body. Penny groaned at the feel of his touch and began to move her hips in anticipation. “I’ll take that as a yes then” and Shane slid his hand towards the heat that she was emanating from between her legs and noticed how wet she was already. Shane felt amazing knowing it was because of him she was wet and ready. With the urgency behind them, they made slow, passionate love. Taking each other to the highest peak of intimacy that when they were ready, they both let their heat flow in and over each other and savored the feeling of completion and satisfaction. Feeling spent, Shane collapsed on top of Penny, feeling his heartbeat join hers in the radical pace they had put them through. Caressing her with each beat his own heart made while feeling her caress him. ‘It can’t get any more perfect than this’ he thought to himself and savored each moment until he felt her move beneath him. Coming up on his elbows to look down at her, he couldn’t help but notice she was looking a bit uncomfortable. “Am I getting heavy?” he asked her as he began to roll to his side while keeping his arm around her waist. “Never to heavy” she replied as she started to get up “just the bathroom is now screaming my name” and she hopped out of bed and dashed across the room. As she was about to close the door, she could hear Shane laughing and saying something about breakfast. When she walked out of the bathroom, she looked at Shane as he sat on the edge of the bed putting on his pants. ‘Even gorgeous when he just wakes up’ she thought and crossed the room for her robe. “Does that sound good to you?” Penny was deep in thought and didn’t hear what Shane had said. “I’m sorry. What was that?” Penny turned around to see him standing by the door “I asked if you wanted some breakfast. Thought maybe French toast? Bacon and fruit?” Shane noticed something about Penny that he wasn’t comfortable with. She looked like she was over thinking something and not liking the outcome. He crossed the room to where she was standing, put his arms around her and kissed her on the top of her head. “Is everything alright?” he asked her, hearing the concern in his own voice and not really liking it. Penny looked up at him and smiled “Everything is fine. French toast with bacon and fruit sounds awesome. About time you fed me. Didn’t think I performed well enough for food” and she poked him. Shane couldn’t believe he thought something was wrong. He was getting jumpy and worried that she might leave but he knew he was over reacting. Feeling something jab in his side, he looked down into deep blue eyes “Did you just poke me?” he asked, keeping his voice as neutral and upbeat as possible. Penny, still smiling, reached up and gave him a kiss “Well, fair is fair. You’ve been poking me all night”. And with a quick peck, she got out of his embrace and ran for the bathroom. All Shane could do was smile. He finally found the one he’d been searching for and he’ll be damned if he’s ever gonna let her go. With that thought, he made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen to make the woman of his dreams breakfast.

  The past several days had been a whirlwind. As Penny spent the morning languorously in bed reminiscing the past week, Shane was in the shower regaling her with his rendition of Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman. Their days were spent talking, discussing family, friends, work and whatever else that took their fancy. Penny found out that Shane had an older brother whom he was very close to and, at the moment, was abroad. He never really quite got along with his father, never seeing eye to eye on things and when his mother died, the distance between them grew. She could see the hurt in his eyes but she was never sure if it was due to his mother’s death or the non-existent relationship with his father. Penny wasn’t about to delve into the matter. She believed that if he wanted her to know, he would tell her. He discussed the ‘family business’, which was antiques, and how he chose to leave and stretch out on his own. He needed a challenge and starting his own business gave him just that. As for friends, they were more acquaintances than anything else. His brother is his true friend and he wouldn’t have it any other way. The rest of the times together were spent either swimming or playing card games, trying to outwit the other, while the nights were spent in each other’s arms. Penny called Cathy, as she had promised, on her third day to let her know she could hold off on calling the National Guard. She was fine. Actually, she was better than fine. She wasn’t quite sure what it was she was feeling but she certainly wasn’t questioning it, she’d figure that out when she got home. She didn’t want the time with Shane to end but she knew it had to.

  As Shane stepped out of the bathroom in only a towel, Penny watched him through half closed eyes. He approached the bed, being quiet thinking she was still asleep, he slid in next to her and drew her close. His hair and torso were still wet and Penny felt the dampness on her back. She also felt damp in another area as well. She rolled over and smiled, caressing his face as he bent to kiss her. “Good morning” he said, “it’s a beautiful day. Did you sleep well?” “Uh huh, marvellously well” she replied while her hand began to stray down towards the hardness the towel was trying, in vague, to conceal. Shane deepened the kiss, removed the towel and stretched out on top of her, holding her arms above her head as he began to kiss her neck. “You want more?” he asked, knowing what the answer will be but wanted her to say she did, “four times last night wasn’t enough?” Moaning, Penny wrapped her legs behind his thighs and began to grind her hips against him. “I just can’t seem to get enough of you” she said breathlessly, letting out a tiny whimper as he teased her with his hardness against her delicate spot. “That’s exactly how I want it” he said as he slowly entered her and gave her what they both have wanted for the rest of the morning.

  After their morning romp, they both felt extremely hungry. Shane headed off to the kitchen to prepare brunch and Penny hopped into the shower. Tonight was her last night with Shane and she wanted to make it as special as possible, but how? As ideas swam through her head, she quickly washed up and dressed and headed to the kitchen. Shane was just finishing up and handed her a plate when she showed herself at the counter. A western omelet with fruit and a side order of toast was the meal and she couldn’t wait to dig in. They were both pretty quiet while eating, both knowing it was their last night together and neither was in the mood to discuss it. After brunch, they headed out to the backyard and sat pool side to enjoy the sun’s rays and warmth. “It’s gonna be pretty quiet around here when you’re gone. Are you sure you can’t stay longer?” he said, pushing a piece of errant hair behind her ear. Shane didn’t want her to leave whatsoever. He enjoyed her company and wanted to continue enjoying it. “If I want to keep my job, I do. I wish it was longer, I really do. I’m not up to leaving just yet but I have to go back” Penny let out a small sigh, she so wasn’t ready to leave. “Well then, I guess you’re just gonna have to come back or I am gonna have to go to you. Either way, we are seeing each other again. Unless…”Shane couldn’t finish that last part just in case what she had said was just her way of being nice. “Oh! That would be awesome! I definitely want to see you again and soon. When can we set it up?” Penny was excited; she was going to have to find the time to come out again. She was gonna work on that once she got home and checked her schedule. “I’m sure I can push some things around in the next couple of weeks, maybe open up a long weekend?” Penny smiled and Shane followed suit. “That sounds great. I have a business trip that I have to take. I’ll be gone a week so when I get back, we can get together”. Shane was on a high right now, he was going to see her again and that made him feel excellent. Penny was excited as well, she was hoping tonight wasn’t the end of their ‘relationship’, for lack of a better word. But once again, Penny had that look of doubt in her eyes that Shane had seen before. Being cautious, he reached for her chin and turned her fact to look at him. “What’s wrong?” He wasn’t sure he wanted to hear the ans
wer. Penny looked into those green eyes and wasn’t sure how she was going to voice her concerns without it sounding like she didn’t want to see him. With a sigh, she turned her head “This whole week has been one helluva ride. What if things cool off once we’re apart? What if you decide it was fun while it lasted and turn around and forget me? What if you meet someone else and decide that I’m too far to bother with and be with that person instead?” Shane was hearing her but he wasn’t believing what she was saying. Is she backing out? Shane was reeling with anger and confusion. “What the hell?” he said, “Are you having second thoughts already? I don’t want anybody else and I’m certainly not going to forget you. Don’t you want to be together again?” He felt his heart wanting to beat right out of his chest and it took every ounce of control he could muster to try and be calm. He knew she felt something for him, something deeper than only lust. He just hope he wasn’t wrong. As Shane was staring at her, waiting for her to respond, he noticed something in her eyes as she turned to look at him. He knew that look and his heart dropped when he saw it. She had fear in her eyes and for whatever reason, Shane was going to find out. Placing his hand on her cheek, he looked into her eyes “What’s going on?” he asked her. Penny had built up this whole scenario in her head that, as other men, he would believe she wasn’t worth the effort and move on. The last thing she wanted to do was get her hopes up just so that they can be crushed later on. As she looked at Shane, seeing the concern in his eyes, she didn’t know how to explain it so she would just go right out and say it “In the past, other men that I have dated would say the same things to me. They would be sweet and be absolutely wonderful. Then, as time went on and we got back into the swing of our lives like work and such, they would leave me. They never believed I was worth the effort to wait around for so they would leave. My work takes up a lot of my time and no man likes to be second place. I feel that once I leave, I’m never going to see you again. That this is all just a dream and I’m about to wake up” and that’s when she felt the tears slide down her cheeks. Feeling embarrassed, Penny tried to turn away but Shane had a good grip “Wow. Okay, I’m going to say this once so listen carefully. I can’t prove I’m no different from any other guy and I can’t make you believe what I say is true. But, what I can do is show you what you mean to me and show you that I mean what I say. We all got shit on once or twice, that’s life. But are we gonna let it stop us from seeing if what this” he pointed between the both of them while still looking into her eyes “is actually real? We may get hurt, yes. But we may also find out that we are right for each other and we can be happy. But we’ll never know if we don’t try. So. My question to you is…do you want to try?” Holding his breath, Shane waited for an answer while rubbing his thumb across her cheeks to dry them. Penny was dumbfounded at what he said and she had her doubts but she was willing to give it a chance. “Yes” she said “I want to try” and smiling she leaned into Shane and he held her. Come hell or high water, he was going to show her that he wasn’t going to let her go.
