Remember to comment and vote! -Sensanin **************** Chapter 40 Day did what he should have done when Beth'd left him the first time. He ran after her. Hoisting Brian into his arms, Day ran after Beth like a man possessed. "Dammit Beth, Wait!" Day called after her, but either she didn't hear him or she didn't care. Kicking himself into high gear, he got close enough and snaked a hand around her waist pulling her back against him. Day stumbled, teetered precariously, but somehow righted himself with one hand around Brian and the other around Beth. Day surrounded Beth, feeling the soft weight of her breasts just above his arm, her soft red curls tickling his cheek. "Beth" He breathed against her hair, pulling her closer. "Don't run from me. Don't run." Day could feel Beth shaking in his arms, feel her trying to pull away from him both physically and emotionally. But he couldn't let that happen, he couldn't. "Come on baby, let's go home". Carefully Day lowered Brain to the ground, still keeping a hand around Beth. He flagged down a cab and got them all into it; Day was quick and efficient as he told the cab driver where to go. Once they arrived he got them all out of the cab, paid the driver, forced Beth up the stairs, and then they were in the apartment. "Brian go get ready for bed". Day told his son quietly. The little boy must have sensed the mood because he went to the bathroom without hesitation. With quiet strength and determination, Day lead Beth into their bedroom, stripped her down and then carried her to the bathroom. Through it all she was quiet, moving as if she wasn't really there, but somewhere else. Day gripped the woman who meant everything to him a bit tighter as he gently put her in the shower and turned on the water. The water seemed to wake her out of whatever state she had been in, as Day watched her slowly began to clean herself. Only when he was sure she'd be fine, did he go back to Brian and quickly tuck him in. "Is mommy going to be ok?" Brian asked Day around a yawn, snuggling down into his spiderman sheets. Mommy? When did he start calling her mommy? Day wondered worriedly. "She'd not your mom Brian". He told his son quietly. "Yeah she is. Your my daddy and Ms.Beth is my mommy". Brian explained to Day around another yawn before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Day got up slowly, shutting off the light and leaving the door cracked in Brian's room as he went to check that all the lights in the apartment where off and the front door was locked. He was tryng to give Beth the space she so obviously needed by doing the mundane task of checking the apartment, but 10 minutes later he couldn't wait anymore. "Beth?" He called out softly as he entered their bedroom. He sucked in a breath when he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, completely nude. He hair was damp and she was staring at him with an expression that made his gut clench. She looked anxious, pensive, frightened, and... sad. So very sad. "Beth, tell me what's wrong?" Day pleaded as he closed the door and went to kneel in front of her. "I'll fix it baby. But you have to tell me what's wrong". "You can't fix it Day." Beth said so softly, Day thought he might have imagined it. "You don't know that. Tell me the problem". Day responded taking her cold hands and kissing her finger tips. "I love you." Beth said quietly looking into his eyes. Day's heart soared, but then crashed as he looked at her expression. "Is that a bad thing?" He asked slowly. "I can't do this Day. Not now, not with everything. I need space. I need time. I need..." Beth hesitated taking a breath. Day waited silently, never taking his eyes from her. She looked so sad, and he didn't know what to do, what she needed. She wasn't crying, there were no tears in her eyes, she didn't look like she was going to crumble. In fact she looked like she was made out of stone, immovable. "I need you to make love to me, and then... I need you to let me go. Can you do that?" Beth asked him quietly, drawing her hand out of his grasp and bringing it up to his cheek. Let her go? Like a goodbye fuck? Not on her life! She is everything, fucking everything to me! Day thought vehemently, angrily. He closed his eyes, blocked the sight of her body, nude and glorious on his bed, in his house. She wanted to leave him, and he doubted she'd tell him why. Day puzzled out his next move. If he said no and kept her there then what would happen? She'd hate him as much as she hated Jason, maybe more. And if he let her go? Day quickly dismissed that idea, not even giving himself time to think about it. Not a fucking option, he growled into his mind. So then what? "What about Brian?" Day asked, not caring if she stayed with him just for his son. He'd use any dirty trick to make sure she stayed. "I still want to be in his life. He's lost too many people, gone through too much. I won't leave him." She said quietly. Yet Day could still hear the whisper: Not like I'm leaving you. Rational, be fucking rational! Day yelled in his mind, opening his eyes once again. If she stayed with Brian, then she stayed close. He could still be near her, and whenever she got over her fucking... whatever the fuck it was, she'd come back to him. She would. So this wasn't a last time, this wasn't a farewell, Day reminded himself as he crushed her lips against his and laid her back on the bed. This was a promise, he thought kissing her breasts, his hands greedily gripping her curves. It was a promise that she would be back, in his arms, in his bed, apart of his family, apart of him. At least that's what he told himself over and over again as he made love to her. Chapter 41 Three weeks later... "Mommy!" Beth heard Brian scream as he ran down the steps of his elematary school and launched himself at her. Beth caught the little boy in her arms, twirling him around and giving him a raspberry on his cheek. Brian gigled and laughed, making Beth's heart soar. Slowly she lowered the little boy down to his feet and took him by the hand. "You ready to go?" Brian nodded vigorously and the two climbed into the back of the black Mercedes. The driver shut the door after Beth had situated herself, then climbed into the front seat. "Where to Ms.McNash?" Henry asked. "Mr.West's house, please" Beth responded clicking on the television in the headrest and handing Brian a pair of headphones so he could watch TV. Beth sat back heavily in the seat, her arm going around the six year old as he cuddled up close to her. Beth turned her gaze to the passing New York City scenery, her mind in the clouds. Three weeks, 21 Days, and God only knew how many hours. Beth's life had calmed down to what was now her "new normal". Vehemently she tried not to think of where Day was, or what he was doing, or who he was doing it with, but still the thoughts entered her mind. It wasn't like she could blame the man for dating again, she really couldn't, she'd been the one to break the relationship off, but she'd also been the one who'd still wanted to be there for Brian. Beth turned to look at Brian who was now asleep against her, his little fist clutching at her skirt. It had to end, it never would have worked out. Beth told herself again, angrily swiping at the tears in her eyes. God, I'm so fucking sick of thinking about this. She'd broken up with Day, told him they could never be together, but that they would always be friends and she would always be there for Brian. He'd allowed it, much to her surprise. He hadn't put up a fight when she'd left and finally found her own apartment, hadn't said no when she'd suggested picking up Brian from school everyday. In fact the man had been a fucking saint in every aspect of their unusual break up. The only think that he'd forced on her was the driver, Henry. All Day had wanted her to do was make sure that she took Henry with her, wherever she went. Her phone started to ring, pulling Beth away from her thoughts. "Hello?" she answered. "Beth! How are you chica?" Ricky's girlfriend Ashley said cheerily. Beth smiled into the phone. Of course it was Ashley. Over the three weeks Beth and Day had been broken up, Beth had met Ashley and the two women had become instant friends. Ashley and Ricky's relationship was a bit volatile, and at times Beth wondered if they should really be together. But then she'd see them, and the emotions they had for each other lying just beneath the skin, and she'd know they should. They were good for each other. "Muy bien! Y tu?" Beth said, using the small Spanish Ashley had taught her to respond. "Oh! I see your Spanish is improving!" Ashley laughed into the phone, making Beth's smile even wider. "Not really, that's about all I remember. So what's up?" "You know there's that stupid fucking benefit for some non-profit tonight, right?" Ashley said with a huff, even though Beth could tell she was happy. Benefits meant a new dress, a new dress meant new lingerie, and as Ashley had one very drunk night explained to her, that meant hot explosive sex with Ricky. "Yeah, and?" Beth said trying to mind erase that entire conversation she'd had with Ashley. But wow, when you get a few drinks in that girl, she just starts going! "Well, Day's date canceled on him and now the two of them are running around trying to find another woman, but then I was like 'ask Beth', and I swear Beth they flipped shit! I mean, so what you two hooked up a couple of times, it's not like you can never do anything together again! Plus you'd be doing me a solid, cause if Day doesn't have a date then Ricky spends the whole time worrying about him, which means no kinky coatroom sex. And lord knows Beth I need my kinky coat room sex!" Beth nearly burst out laughing at her friends audaciousness, on more than one occasion Beth had wondered if the woman had a filter. But if she did, then she just wouldn't be Ashley. "Well, um... I don't know Ash; it's still a bit raw, you know?" Beth hedged, hoping her friend would give it one more push. Because if she was honest she wanted to go, she wanted to be near Day, she wanted to touch him, but she also needed a damn good reason to do those things. "We're here" Henry said from the front seat. "Oh come on Beth! Pretty please! I'll be your bitch for life!" Ashely said dramatically over the phone. "Not nessacary" Beth said laughing out loud and waking up Brian. "I'll do it, I'll do it." "Great! Meet me at Boutique Ludivine in an hour! Bye!" Chapter 42 "Thanks Ashley" Day said with a giant eat shit grin on his face as he stared at Ricky's girlfriend sitting across from him. "You owe me big time Day! I hate lying to Beth" Ashley said with a mirror grin on her face, as she stuffed her phone into her pocket. Day stood up from his desk, walking around and handing her his credit card. "Keep it under 10 grand would you?" Day asked, as Ashley practically yanked of his hand trying to get to the card. "Yeah, don't worry I will" She said before dancing out of his office. Day shook his head, moving to sit back down behind his desk and finish his work up for the day. "She's a handful Day, I'm not sure I would trust her to spend under 10 grand, or if she did it would be like $9,999." Ricky said as he entered Day's office, and handed him a pile of documents. Day just shrugged his shoulders and set the stack next to him. He could lie and play it off like he was actually reading the work in front of him, but Ricky would call his bluff anyway. "It's not like I really care." "Yeah, yeah, Mr. Money's-no-object-anymore. So is there any reason you're doing it now?" Ricky asked, plopping down in one of the chairs adjacent Day's desk. "I woke up this morning with a monster erection and it hasn't gone down yet. It's getting a little hard to sleep." Day said with a smile. Ricky burst out laughing as he grabbed one of the documents and began to go through it like Beth had taught him. "I'm not sure if you're lying or not." Day just shrugged and rolled his neck until it cracked. His dick being hard was only part of why he'd chosen now, he missed Beth, he wanted her back where she belonged, that's why it was now. He had finally moved out of his and Shontell's apartment, finally sold the car they'd bought together, finally given away her clothes. Day had finally put his wife to rest, and now he was ready to move on with the woman he loved. It wasn't like Shontell wouldn't always keep a part of his heart, but Beth had the rest of his heart and all of his soul, and it was high time for her to come and claim it. It was still early in the afternoon, and all that separated Beth and him were hours, minutes, seconds. Insignificant little things, that felt like gigantic mountains. Hours, minutes, seconds until he had her back. Day returned to his work, forcing himself to focus. He'd given her the time she wanted, the space she craved, well in theory he did. In reality he'd been with her every second of everyday thanks to the security he'd hired to watch her. Now the time had come to stop playing games, it was time to call her back, it was time for him to claim his woman. Chapter 43 "It's too much! I don't want it!" Beth whispered harshly to Ashley, as her friend tried to force the obscenely decadent dress on her. "And I said don't worry about it chica. Day's paying for it!" Ashley said back loudly. They'd been fighting for nearly 15 minutes, after Beth had found the perfect dress. Two things had stopped her from buying it though, the ridiculously expensive price tag and the fact that the dress had 'fuck me right now!' written all over it. I'm not trying to seduce Day! Beth reminded herself internally as she fought with Ashley. If Day saw her in that dress, then... then... well he could fuck her right there in the middle of the event or... something worse, he could smile and treat her like a friend. As much as she hated to admit it, Beth much preferred the former to the later. Day treating her like a friend, while he stared at other women, appraising them, well that would kill her. "You know what Beth, fine! Don't have the dress if you don't want to pay for it. But what if I could get you a discount? Would you get it then?" Ashley asked conspiratorially, clutching the dress to her chest. She couldn't wear the dress. It wasn't appropriate, it wasn't something a friend would wear. And even though these thoughts were buzzing through Beth's head, when she opened her mouth all that came out was "Yes." No!! Her mind screamed as she watched Ashley quickly turn and lean over to the cashier. But Beth felt rooted to the spot, in the middle of the store, a war waging within herself. Get it together me! Beth yelled at herself before her feet finally moved. Beth approached the register, inadvertently slamming her hands down and startling both the cashier and Ashley. "The dress-" Beth began, forcing herself to get out the words that she didn't really want to say. "Will be $150 miss." The cashier said pleasantly, holding out her hand for payment. "But that's-" "A big ass discount. Yeah Beth, I worked out a deal with her" Ashley interrupted reaching in Beth's back pocket for the credit card Beth had stuffed there after she'd gotten some things at Victoria's Secret. Things that she didn't really need, things that she promised herself she wouldn't wear that night, with Day. Beth watched shocked as Ashley handed over her credit card to the sales lady. Beth was far too shocked to do anything but sign her name and take the garment bag that the woman handed her. "And for you Ms. Ashley it will be $8,749 altogether." Beth's eyes nearly bulged out of her head as Ashley handed over the credit card that Day had given her. "Phew, I thought it was going to be over 10 thousand! Thank god I put back that skirt and sweater set!" Beth could only gape at her friend as she took the bags and credit card and gave Beth an exaggerated wink. "And you know it wouldn't be a day with me if we didn't go to the spa Beth! So move your ass, our appointment is in 20! And they just barely squeezed us in!" Ashley said over her shoulder as she flounced over to the car. Beth was use to extravagance but even this was a little much, in the back of her mind she wondered if she was stepping into a trap. Things were just too good, but than there was a little voice telling her Day had already started dating again, had been seen with a woman more than one time at a restaurant. Some German supermodel jewelry designer who probably hadn't even heard of chocolate, much less eaten it. Beth walked slowly to the car, looking down the busy street and noticing two men in black suits sitting at the Starbucks on the corner. Ashley waved her hand at Beth in a gesture of impatience and Beth climbed into the car, forgetting the men completely. Smoothing her red curls, Beth frowned completely pissed at herself, it just had to be this week that I decided to binge! She thought angrily her hands moving over her curves as if the cookies and cake were sticking out of her stomach and thighs. I must look awful, she thought as she settled into the car, letting Ashley dominate the conversation by telling her about the spa packet she'd bought them. The sun was still relatively high in the sky, but you could see it wanting to set, craving the need to go down. Silently Beth prayed that it would stay up their forever because if it did she wouldn't have to see Day, she could simply continue to avoid him, like walking around glass. But an ever deeper part of her, a part that she didn't want to admit existed wanted to yank the sun out of the sky and plop the moon in it's place so the night would finally come. So she could finally see Day. Finally. Chapter 44 Day leaned causally against the wall, making sure his expression reflected that of urban boredom. But just under the surface, probably visible in his eyes if you looked close enough was irritation, impatience, and angst. Beth was late! He'd wanted to pick her up from her apartment, sit in a very small car so he could smell her perfume, be close enough to touch her. But as luck would have it the fucking universe liked to toy with him. Ashley'd called him and hour and a half ago saying they were at the spa and that they'd be late but that Henry'd drop them off. Of course he'd fucking known that, thanks to his security, but the heads up had been appreciated nonetheless. That of course didn't excuse the fact that Day very nearly wanted to killed Ashley for spending his money so fucking frivolously, but then she'd assured him he'd be glad that Beth went to the spa. Day had nearly given himself a nose bleed thinking about all the things she'd done at the spa, for herself, for him. It was those stupid fucking thoughts that had got him hard, and those fucking thoughts that made him want to whip out his dick and jerk off until he was raw. "She's late" Ricky groaned coming up to Day and handing him a drink as he threw one back himself. At least I'm not the only one in pain here, Day thought with a forced grin, taking the drink and tossing it back with the same aggression as Ricky. "Fucking women. Always got to take fucking forever to put on a dress and some makeup" Day growled under his breath, looking around the room for what seemed like the billionth time. "I would still fuck her if she was bat-shit crazy and wearing a god damn trash bag." Ricky smothered his laugh as a few heads turned their way then quickly turned away. "Chill Day, you're scaring everyone off, and there are some potential clients here." Ricky said with a laugh as he took Day's empty glass and handed it to a passing waiter. Day didn't give a flying fuck in hell who was here! That hadn't been the point of coming, the point had been to get Beth close enough that he could pounce and she couldn't run away. He'd planned everything to the T, and his plans didn't really include pleasing some 60 year old white men. Flirting the Fence Ch. 40-49 "Ah! I think I see them. Holly fuck!" Ricky breathed, as Day turn his head in the direction Ricky was looking. "Holly fuck is right!" Day growled as lust knotted low in his gut and started to burn. Mine! Fucking Mine, Mine, Mine! His dick screamed at him over and over again, followed a millisecond by his heart doing the same damn thing. This evening with Beth was going to torture him and make his dick so hard that it might actually turn to stone. She's walking towards me! Day thought, pushing up from the wall and standing to his full height. What the hell is she wearing? Day thought with a growl as he hunched forward, catching the eyes of any guy who started at her too long and making sure they got the message. She looked like hot wet sin in a floor length emerald green dress that was cut low in the frond and looked like it probably dipped in the back. Diamonds hung off her ears, neck and wrist as she walked sensually over to him. Her skin was glowing, her curls were pulled up leaving her neck exposed and her eyes were smudged black with thick black lashes. Everything about the damn woman screamed fuck me now! Here! Up against the fucking wall! "Hi Day?" Day heard Beth say uncertainly. Quickly he looked down, not even realizing that she was so close, standing in front of him, breathing the same air he was breathing. "Hey" He crocked swallowing hard and trying to keep his face neutral. It wasn't time yet, patience Day, patience! Beth smiled uncertainly, moving to stand beside him. Day turned to watch her move. Yup, that back definitely dropped. "I'm sorry your um... date canceled" He heard her say softly, smiling up at him. Date? Oh, yeah. And with those words he remember what he was doing, what he had to do. Giving her what he hoped was a friendly smile he put out his arm. "These things happen. You ready?" Chapter 45 These. Things. Happen. That's what he said, Beth thought covertly watching Day, looking for any reaction. There was none. It was those three words that left no doubt in her mind that Day had actually had a date. Not that she'd really thought he might have been lying, but now she was sure he hadn't. He's moved on, Beth thought blinking back tears as she put on a smile and began to tour the room with Day. Didn't he say he loved me? Beth thought as they stopped and she began to converse with some rich diplomat and his date. If it's that easy to move on, then why can't I? "Are you thirsty?" Day asked her suddenly, making Beth jump. Smoothing her nerves, Beth turned to Day; his eye brows were raised and he was wearing that stupid social mask. Beth hated that mask! When he had on that damn social mask of his, which was far better then hers, she honestly couldn't tell what he was thinking. It's perfect, Beth thought with a sad internal smile. "I could use some water." Beth answered quietly, looking at a point just behind Day's shoulder because she couldn't look at him. But Beth never got that glass of water because at the same moment a stunning caramel skinned amazon goddess rushed up to them and threw her arms around Day, squealing excitedly. Instantly Beth took a step back and tripped over her dress, but thankfully strong arms caught her and helped her back up. "Are you ok miss?" Beth shook out her dress, completely flustered, as Day smiled and hugged the stunning beauty back. Beth turned from the scene to the man who had saved her from making a complete fool of herself. "Yes! Sorry, thank you so much!" Beth said, her voice cracking at the end. No! No! NO! She screamed at herself as she looked around for an exit. Tears were threatening to spill over, chock her and wrap her in misery. But she'd be damned if she let another person see her like that! But the man, bless his heart, wasn't paying the slightest attention to her. Instead he was practically growling at the amazon woman wrapped around Day. "Aiesha!" The man barked, suprising Beth and Day. The woman, Aiesha, just smiled and disentangled herself from Day, turning to look at the man who had growled at her. Beth looked between the two, noticing how utterly different they were. The man had gorgeous wavy blond hair, with bulging muscles everywhere, and striking green eyes; while the woman looked waif thin, and liked she was dipped in caramel honey! "Habibi relax, Day's a friend. His wife and I used to do grunt work for the firm!" The woman said hotly, before her eyes grew wide and her hand went to her mouth. Beth watched her turn to Day, tears glimmering in her amber eyes. "Day, I'm so sorry I-" Beth watched Day's jaw tighten, but he just waved the woman aside and extended his hand to the man just behind Beth. "Darius West" he said curtly, pumping the man's fist. "Clayton O'Brielly; Aiesha's husband." Day heard the man say as he pumped Day's hand. Beth nearly laughed out loud as she quickly turned from the group and swiped at the moisture in her eyes, being as careful as she could not to ruin the make up that she knew was on her face. Men! Beth laughed to herself, as she quickly looked back with a pasted and practiced smile on her lips. The woman Aiesha was looking at her softly, like she knew exactly how she was feeling. Doubt it! Beth thought forcing her smile up a notch. The amazon queen probably hadn't even heard the word bad hair day much less fat! "Beth McNash", Beth introduced herself to the woman, taking the initiative, "I'm a friend of Days." The woman didn't even bat an eye at her cold tone. Instead she continued to smile warmly, which as much as Beth hated to admit, looked genuine. "Aiesha O'Brielly. It's so nice to meet you Beth." Over the next few minutes they all talked, and Beth couldn't really say that she hated Aiesha, she was kind and funny, and it was obvious that there was genuine love between her and her husband. In all honesty she liked the woman, and they even exchanged numbers and decided to get a bite to eat. The only thing that really irritated her was that every so often Aiesha'd brush Day's arm, and no matter how friendly the gesture was, every single time, Beth's gut clenched. "Sweetheart we really should be going-the kids?" Beth heard Clayton whisper to Aiesha. "Oh! Of course!" Aiesha said to her husband reaching up and touching his cheek, the gesture romantic and cute. "I just get so caught up talking. You know how it is Beth." Beth heard Aiesha say to her, her eyes twinkling with laugher. "Of course! Good company is hard to find nowadays, and when you finally get them, you're loath to let them go". Beth respond, smiling warmly at Aiesha. "Exactly!" The woman said laughing, and brushing Beth's fingers. "But", Aeisha began, her laugher subsiding, and her eyes going to Day's, "You have my deepest condolences Day. Shontell was a wonderful woman." The air within the group grew tense, as Day murmured his thanks. Together they all said their goodbyes, Clayton practically having to drag Aiesha away. But there was still no mistaking the last words Aiesha whispred to Beth. "But you can really make him happy. Take good care of him Beth." Silently Day took Beth's arm and continued their walk, a yearning churning in Beth's gut. She wanted Day, she loved him. So what was standing in her way? Silently accepting the glass of water Day was able to finally get her, Beth clashed eyes with his leather brown ones. Me. She realized, with a stabbing in her heart. I'm standing in the way of my own happiness. Chapter 46 "You ok Beth?" Day asked, as he watched her stare at him without drinking her water. Beth blinked up at him, like she hadn't really heard him. He watched her, look around quickly, and briefly he wondered if she would run. I'll fucking chase her if she does! Day growled into his mind, clenching his fist but keeping his face straight. He watched as she leaned over and handed a passing waiter the water that she'd only taken a sip of. "Thank you" Day heard her mutter softly to the waiter as she turned back to him. Always so polite, Day thought with a wicked internal smile. Please Day! Day... I want.... more... please... more. Yes! Yes! Even while screaming out his name as he fucked his way into her very soul, she was polite. Day was thinking about Beth's polite pouty lips wrapped around his cock, when she did the most unexpected thing. She kissed him. And it wasn't one of those sissy ass pecks on the cheek either! Beth kissed him like he was her everything, like she needed his breath to survive. Day felt his body walking her backwards, his hands hitting the wall as he devoured her mouth, but he was honestly too concerned with Beth's tongue to really make sure it was a wall and not some guy's back. Day leaned in closer to her, crowding her in, absorbing her space. Slowly Beth drew back, nipping his bottom lip as she went. They were face to face, only a few puffs of air seperating them. His cock was rock hard, and Beth was wearing a dress. They were in a room full of people, at a benefit for local orphanages, and all Day could think of was sliding her up the wall and dropping her down of his dick, very, very slowly. "Why?" He asked dumbfounded. Does it matter! His dick yelled at him, get up stairs! "I love you" Beth said clearly, staring straight into his eyes. He watched her take a breath and continue, his heart suddenly in his throat. "I love you, and that scraes me. I've never loved anyone who hasn't been family. What's even more frightening is that, with everything I've put you through, you've stuck with me, you've put up with me; you fought for me. But I'm no go Day, I'm a mess, and I'm insecure, and I always run away when things get tough, and... and... I love you." Beth said with emotion, tears shinning in her lime green eyes. Closing his eyes, Day savored those three words. There was no but after them, there was no shame, they weren't forced. It was honest, and pure, and Beth; beautiful, glorious, sexy-as-hell Beth. Finally, Day thought with a relived sigh, opening his eyes and looking at her. "It's about damn time!" Day growled before crushing her lips to his. He could feel her soft laugh against his lips, tongue, feel it in his belly. They needed to get out of there; now! "Come on!" Day said, pulling back from her and beginning to tug her to the entrance of the hotel lobby. "What about Ricky and Ashley?" Beth whispered as she ran to keep up with him. "They're fine." Day growled, as he snaked his arms around her waist and practically carried her out of the ballroom, much to the shock and surprise of many of the guests. Across the room, Day catch Ricky's eye, and gave him a nod, before his friend was tugged into the coatroom, for what looked like the second time that night. Practically running out the room, Day smiled and turned to kiss Beth's arm. "Day" He heard Beth breath his name. Grinning, Day strode into the hotel lobby, hoping he'd hear her say that again, but this time pitched higher and screaming out in pleasure. Chapter 47 Beth blushed from the roots of her hair straight down to her newly manicured toes. Of all the things Day had done to her, this had to be the worst. The man had gone completely prehistoric on her! Beth thought, trying to look as dignified as she could while being carried like a sack of flour. In the corner of the room, closest to the coat check room, a movement caught Beth eyes and she turned to see Ashley waving at her. Beth's eyes went wide as Ashley mouthed "Go for it!", then with an air kiss disappeared into the coatroom. Beth tried hard not to laugh out right at her audacious friend, as several women gasped, and looked over as Day carted her off. It's not like I can really do anything anyway, Beth thought as the ballroom gave way to a brightly light lobby. Beth looked around the lobby, watching as people turned to gawk at them. One woman in particular looked like she was going to have a damn heart attack, and death couldn't be sure if that was because Day was behaving like a caveman or if she was just not a fan of interracial couples. Still Beth couldn't help but stick her tongue out at the woman, feeling a bit childish. People were always so dramatic! Then all of a sudden, Beth was all tossed into a elevator, with Day growling at the elevator operator to get the hell out. She watched the man turn white and scramble out of the elevator as Day pressed the up button. Out of the corner of her eye Beth could see the elevator doors whoosh closed and then she was suddenly face to face with Day, the reality of her situation smacking her in the face. Three weeks, a little bit more than 24 days, and God only knew how many hours since Beth had confined herself to celibacy. Why the hell is it so hot in here?! Beth thought frantically as the elevator began to climb the levels. Day seemed to sense her desire and leaned closer, boxing her into an even smaller space within the minuscule elevator. Three weeks, Beth thought launching herself at Day and forcing him to the other side of the elevator. "I need you!" Beth heard herself whimper against Day's lips, her nimble fingers already fiddling with the loops of his belt. Beth turned her eyes up to Day's leather brown ones, but the color was deeper there, bordering on black with his stare bordering on animalistic. "You have no fucking idea" She heard Day whisper as he claimed her lips in wild kiss, and his hands gripped her ass and hoisted her up into his arm. Beth felt her back hit the other side of the elevator, as Day squeezed and massages her ass. Distantly she heard the elevator climb another floor, and in the part of her mind not currently lost to Day's hot hands and mouth, Beth wondered how much longer they had. But then Day's hands were under her dress, ripping at the delicate lace of her panties and stroking high into her heat. "Day!" Beth gasped as she threw her head back and tried to catch her breath. The man definitely knew how to move his fingers and... and... Beth was losing her train of thought as she slammed her fist against Day's back and came hard on his hand, biting her bottom lip to keep from screaming bloody murder. "Fuck! Beth, you're dripping!" Beth her Day say gruffly as he pulled his hand from under her dress. Beth gave a shaky laugh as she leaned fully on him for support. "Uh... umm" After that no more words were exchanged, everything was pure instinct. Beth grabbed her skirt as Day released himself, immediately positioning himself at her entrance. Slowly, he lowered her heated sex onto his the hard length of his cock, and all Beth could do was mewl like a new born kitten and remember to breath. Holy shit! Beth thought as she scratched at his dress shirt and panted like she was in heat. She could feel him nudging deep, forcing himself deeper, opening her up wide. Beth couldn't think past the feeling, the utter abandon, the sheer illicit pleasure of losing herself completely to the man she loved in a hotel elevator. Beth felt him nudge her cervix and he still, bending his head down to her breast and he tried to caught his breath. With measured patience Day drew out of her, and Beth strived very hard to remember not to scream as he stroked into her, lifting her up and setting her down with the rhythm of his thrusts. "Day! Darius!" Beth screamed wildly as she came again, digging her heels into his ass, as black starting to invade the corners of her vision. "That's right Beth" She could hear Day saying as if from a distance as he licked around her ear, "Just like that baby. I want you to scream my name just like that from now on." Beth could only laugh tiredly as Day carried her out of the elevator still impaled on his dick. Wait! A sleepy and sated Beth thought. He didn't come! And just to make sure, she clenched her inner muscles, and was rewarded with Day's little groan of approval. God this was going to be a long night, Beth thought with a cheshire cat grin. Chapter 48 Day ground his teeth as Beth clenched hot and pulsing around his cock. The woman had no fucking sense of self preservation! Day thought striding through the pent house suite with Beth, limp and sated in his arms. Day didn't exactly know where he was going but he knew what he was looking for, and that was a flat surface to lay Beth down on. The kitchen island was lucky enough to be that surface. Day grimaced as Beth once again clenched down hard on his cock, making him groan and throb heavily inside her. Reaching his arm out, Day felt around to make sure there was nothing on the shiny marble top that could hurt Beth, before laying her back on it. He watched as the cold marble hit her and she involuntarily arched her back, thrusting her breast invitingly into the air. Day bent down and latched onto a nipple, gripping her hips, he started to thrust into her, gripping the edge of the counter to keep from bruising her. "Careful Day! My breasts are a little tender" Beth gasped, gyrating her hips on him. Day just nodded and drew back, burying his head in the valley of her breasts as he continued to thrust. There was no finesse to his thrusts, no measure, it was just fucking Beth until she couldn't think anymore, until he couldn't think, until the fucking world around them disappeared into nothingness. "Darius!" Beth screamed out as her hands ripped his shirt and her teeth bit hard into his bicep, forcing him to pull her more firmly against him and thrust back into her harder, more viscously. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Day groaned loudly, slamming into her as the pain mixed with the pleasure and blended together until he couldn't remember anything but Beth and her body wrapped around him, pumping with him. This was what he'd always wanted! It wasn't perfect or clean or pretty; it was a craving, an obsession to be with another human being, to get as far deep inside of them as a person could go. Day couldn't remember when he'd started feeling this way about her, when had it gone from good sex, to something he craved and needed to keep him sane? Day slammed his fist on the counter as he came, his knees buckling. Beth was a second behind him, clutching onto him, crushing her breasts to his chest as she sobbed out her release. Holding onto her with shaking arms, Day lifted her up off the island and stumbled back into the refrigerator, before he slid down onto the tiled floor. They panted there for long minutes, neither of them speaking as their bodies warmed the cold floor of the kitchen. Day rose his hands and lightly began to play with her hair and stroke her back. "Your hair looks good. Did you do something different?" Day asked hoarsely, rolling the thick red curls between his fingers. Day watched as Beth tilted her head back to look at him. Bruised lips, red eyes, glowing cheeks, never had Beth looked delectable then she did now. "They did my hair at the spa" She answered tiredly, her voice soft and quiet. "Hmm... I like it" Day said, pulling her closer to him, and burying his nose in her locks. Long seconds faded as they sat in companionable silence, still wrapped in each others arms with Day still buried deep inside of Beth. This is where she belongs, Day thought closing his eyes and drawing the fragrance of her hair into his lungs. "You were having me followed, weren't you?" Day heard Beth ask suddenly, her question breaking the companionable silence they'd had. But then, it was Beth and she never was one to just sit around and put up with shit. Day groaned as he shifted her in his arms. "Yeah" "Why?" He heard her ask. There was no malice in her voice, just curiosity. "There have been some... problems at work. Some threats, and the security was just me being over protective." Day said vaguely, beginning to get uncomfortable. This was his fucking night! He didn't want to spend it freaking Beth out with an issue that was already being handled by his security team. He wanted to spend it in bed, or in the shower, or in the Jacuzzi. Whichever one was fine. Flirting the Fence Ch. 40-49 "What problems?" Beth asked persistently, making Day grit his teeth. "Not now baby," Day said, tilting Beth's head up to kiss her sweetly on the mouth, "tonight is for us." Day felt Beth entwine her tongue with his as he deepened the kiss, and he thought that they had ended the conversation portion of their night, but then Beth drew back. "What about Brian? Who's he staying with? If you got a babysitter we have to get back!" Beth said vehemently, inadvertently pushing her breast more firmly against him chest. Does she even know how sexy she looks right now? Day wondered, raking his gaze over her body. Half dressed, with her hair a completely mess, and reeking of sex, she couldn't have looked anymore perfect if she tried. Even now, still buried in her, his body already preparing for the next time, she was more concerned with Brian then anything. In all honesty Day had forgotten anyone else besides Beth existed. Reaching up, Day rubbed the back of his neck, the floor starting get uncomfortable. "Brian's with Tyra" "Tyra? Like my friend Ty?"Beth looked at him surprised. Day stroked an errant curl out of her face, as he answered her. "Yeah. She tracked me down a few days after you ran away. She's been helping keep an eye on you too. But yeah, I asked her to take care of Brian tonight" Day explained, shifting and raising up from the floor. He held his hand out to Beth and she took it gratefully, raising on shaking legs. Day could see a red blush creeping up her neck as she spoke. "Oh. Well it seems you had all the bases covered tonight." Day could tell she was a bit pissed off at him, as he swung her into his arms and went to look for the bedroom. He was just about to open his mouth and explain himself, when she cut him off; "Is this the penthouse?!" "Yeah" Day said on a laugh, finally locating the bedroom door and pushing through it. "Why did you get the pent house! This must have cost a fortune; I mean if Brain is at Ty's then why didn't we just go back to the apartment?" Beth asked worriedly, slightly spoiling the mood for Day. Tossing her on the bed, Day stripped the rest of his clothes off. "Beth" Day growled, completely done talking as he settled his weight over her. "I'm not going to stop just because you're growling at me!" Beth said indigently, as Day began kissing a trail down her neck. She really won't, Day thought, trying to think of how he could get her to shut up. The thought came quickly, and made his dick so hard it hurt. Pushing off of Beth, Day stood over her and grabbed her hips to pull them to the edge of the bed. "What are you doing?!" Beth gasped, as Day fluidly dropped to his knees and found the best way to end the conversations for the rest of the night. Chapter 49 Stupid fucking Day and his stupid fucking male ego! Beth thought as she tried to walk in a straight line but only succeed in grimacing harshly and stumbling. "Careful Beth" Day chuckled as the reached the front desk to check out. Smug bastard! Beth thought heatedly, her clothes feeling restrictive and painful against her breasts. She'd just forgone the underwear all together even though Day had been kind enough to ask Ty to pack an overnight bag for her. The man had simply thought of everything, except her discomfort in the morning. He of course was fine, because the idiot had paced himself! Her on the other hand... swollen, puffy, and hot were the best things to describe her current predicament. She'd barely gotten any sleep, Day'd just kept turning to her, using his fingers and his mouth, teasing her mercilessly until she'd begged him to stop! "You ready Beth?" Day asked her softly, close to her ear, much closer than she'd thought he was. His hand settled comfortably at the small of her back as he guided her over to a set of elevators for the garage levels. Stupid Day! Beth thought over an over again, as her traitorous body turned to him, wanting him even now. "Are we going to pick up Brian?" Beth asked trying to change to a safe topic. She leaned forward as they reached the elevator and pressed the down button, feeling Day's hand grab her ass. Turning to him, Beth was about to berate him when she saw the hottest most fierce look in his eye. Apparently one night hadn't been enough for him. The thought of begin trapped on another small elevator with Day heated Beth's blood and really made her wonder how sore she actually was. But then two more couples came up to them, and the elevator arrived. They all loaded onto the car, and Beth wasn't sure if she was happy about being around people or sad; she divided not to think about it, as she turned to Day and raised her brow, waiting for an answer. "We can if you want, but I was thinking about going to the grocery store and then heading home. Tyra said she'd drop Brian off around six tonight. But we can pick him up if you want, I haven't really planned anything" Day said with a shrug, as they maneuvered off the car and into the 2nd level of the parking garage. "Sorry" Beth murmured to a woman as she brushed by her arm. Hopping off the elevator they began walking in the direction of Day's car. "That works for me. I can pick up some things for dinner tonight, and snacks and stuff for the rest of the week. I'm probably not going back to my apartment anyway" Beth said absently, her eyes going wide as Day clicked the alarm on his new car. "Is that a Tesla Model S?!" Beth nearly screamed, running over to the gorgeous, exceedingly expensive car and reverently running her hands over it. Beth could hear Day chuckling behind her; "Come on, let's get going" Day said, slapping her lightly on the ass, as he moved around the car. Beth climbed in, running her hands over the interior, her eyes shinning brightly. It wasn't that she was a car fanatic, but Beth could appreciate a well made machine. "Why?" she whispered to Day as he climbed into the drivers side. "Because you said I should buy one, and I thought you might like it" Day said, shrugging as he pulled out of the parking space and began to wind his way up the garage floors. Beth was so excited, as she looked around the white interior of the car, her eyes catching on the rear view mirror. Was somebody following them? Beth wondered as she turned and looked at the black SUV trailing a distance behind them. "Are we being followed?" She turned back to Day and watched as his hands gripped the steering wheel a bit tighter. "We are, aren't' we?!" Beth said loudly, turning to look at the black car once more before settling back into her seat back. "It's just extra security in case anything happens. I told you about this" Day grumbled, leaving the garage and turning into traffic. They weren't in the city proper, so the traffic wasn't that bad. Beth crossed her arms, and shot daggers at Day. "No, you gave me some vague response and then changed the subject" Beth shot back, trying hard not to get sucked back into the beauty of the ca. "I mean if it's this much of an issue, why don't you just tell me what the problem is?" Day paused at a red light, turning to look at her. "Because I don't want you to get upset, and I honestly don't want to waste anymore time on it. I promise after everything is said and done, If you still want to know I'll tell you" Day sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Beth uncrossed her arms and looked at him. She really couldn't be upset, she knew he was also just trying to protect her; and after everything she'd been through would it be so bad to let someone else handle the problem? Beth asked herself. The answer was no, it wouldn't be so bad. "Alright. So after the problem goes away so will the security, right?" Beth asked, relaxing back into the seat. "More or less" Day answered vaguely turning and continuing onto the highway. "That's not an answer Day" Beth said, turning her head against the headrest to look at him. "I'm still a CEO of a very lucrative company Beth, and I've made a lot of enemies to get where I am. You'll have two security guards with you at all times". Beth heard Day grind out. Beth was too tired to fight with Day, so she just grabbed his hand and entwined their fingers. "We'll talk about it later". Beth watched as Day shook his head ruefully, with his eyes on the road he pulled up their linked hands and kissed her ring finger. Beth smiled softly, picking up on the not-so-subtle hint. She wouldn't mind it, of course. The idea of being married to Day didn't leave her with dread, like with Jason, the idea was nice and left her feeling over joyed. Beth turned to the road as they took an exit. "Do you know where you're going?" Beth asked curiously. "Yes I do dear" Beth heard Day say. Beth smiled and swiped lightly at him; "Just asking." Sitting up straighter, she turned to him, watching the relaxed expression on his face. I love him. Beth thought, her heart feeling heavy and light all at once. "Day, I love-" Beth began, but a car coming much too fast on Day's side caught her eye. The last word was lost on a scream as the car accelerated and slammed right into them. *Remember to comment and vote!*
