Sanctuary

The next day, I would only be able to hang out with my mom for a matter of hours. Her flight was at five in the evening and she wanted to be there a couple hours early.

“Good morning, sweetie.” she greeted as I cooked breakfast.

“Good morning, Mom.”

“What are you cooking? It smells delicious. No... wait. Don’t tell me.”

She stopped me as I opened my mouth.

“Crepes with blueberries and chantily, along with a side of bacon and fresh squeezed orange juice.”

“You know me. I had to make it for you because I don’t know the next time I’m gonna see you and also because I love you.”

She laughed.

“I love you, too.”

Alex came into the kitchen to steal bacon which was predictable. I didn’t even turn around when I scolded him.

“No, Alex.”

“What? How’d you know?”

“I know you better than the back of my hand.”

My mom couldn’t keep herself from laughing. He made an obvious sound of protest and sat back down in the living room. I shook my head and went to plate food.

“Can I help, Abby?”

“The only thing you can do is to go sit at the dining room table with that dork I’m engaged to. Oh and grab the orange juice, please."

She nodded and got Alex to follow her into the dining room. Only a couple minutes later, I handed them their breakfast before I went back to get my mine.

“How’s breakfast, everyone?” I asked as I kissed his cheek.

I sat at the head of the table with Alex on my right and my mom on my left.

“Amazing as always, babe.”

I’ve made this meal on more than one occasion since I’ve been with him.

“Mom?”

“Just like I remember. You always insisted on making breakfast on Sundays as a teenager and you made this often.”

I smiled to myself.

“Do you miss my cooking?”

“Of course I do. Everything you made was delicious.”

“Well, I got my skills from the best.”

Her.

She smiled as well.

“Can I take everyone’s plates?” he asked.

“Yep.”

My mom echoed me.

“Do you have him trained?”

I laughed.

“For the most part, but that. That is all him. He cooked me dinner, my chicken marsala, a few weeks ago, and even took our dishes when we were done eating.”

When he came back and saw us laughing, he kissed my cheek.

“Hey.”

“Hey. Why the laughter?”

“We were talking about you.”

He looked at me confusedly.

“What’d I do?”

“I’ll tell you about it later.”

He’s beyond adorable when he’s confused.

“Ok.”

I washed the dishes and put them in the dishwasher before planting my ass on the couch.

“Is there anything else you’d like to do today?”

“I don’t actually know. I want to stay longer, but unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

“Wanna meet my bandmates?” Alex asked.

“Half of my extended family.” I said.

“Sounds awesome.”

I was excited for myself.

“I’ll go call them.”

When he left the room, I talked to my mom.

“You’re gonna love them. They’re like my brothers which is something I never thought I’d say.”

“I bet I will.”

Before I had a chance to get off the couch, Alex came back.

“What’s the verdict?” I asked.

“It’s a go.”

“Well, I’m gonna hop in the shower.”

Then, I dashed down the hall to take a shower with the sound of laughter behind me. I heard Alex walk into the bathroom once I turned off the shower.

“I walked in at the right time.”

I caught him staring as I opened the curtain. If my mom wasn’t here and we weren’t going somewhere, I would’ve jumped his bones right then and there.

“Alex.”

“Abby.”

“Later. I know what you’re thinking and what I’m thinking.”

“I know, but you’re so fucking hot, I can’t help myself.”

I finished drying off and walked over to him. I kissed him, taking hold of his bottom lip and gave him a look.

“Neither can I.” I whispered into his ear.

“Fuck.” I overheard.

I smirked as I shut the door. I dressed quickly and went to dry my hair in the bathroom. He got out of the shower as I finished drying my hair and left that very second. I went into the living room, so I wouldn’t be tempted. I was by myself and waiting for everyone to get ready. Ten minutes later, I saw my mom come down the hall.

“Hi honey.”

“Hi Mom.”

“You look gorgeous, Abby.”

“Thanks. So do you.”

Sooner, rather than later, my man came strutting in looking as hot as ever. Oh, how the hell am I gonna get through today?

“Ready, ladies?”

Fuck yeah, I am.

I nodded.

“Yeah.”

We decided to take my mom’s belongings with us, seeing we’d probably need to head straight to the airport after this. Instead of me driving, I sat in the backseat while Alex drove. He drove to Jack’s house in record time and I was so excited as I got out of the car.

“Looking forward to this, Mom?”

“Definitely. Warning: Jack is unpredictable. I need to let you know that now. Alex knows that better than I do.”

“I’ve experienced it.”

The fact that he said Jack’s an experience made me laugh; it was the truth. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Zack.

“Hey.” he greeted, hugging me.

“Hey.”

“Zack, this is my mom, Carol. Carol, this is Zack.”

“Pleasure to meet you.”

“You too.”

“Let’s go out back. We’re having a little bit of a cookout.”

We were being greeted by Rian when Jack came up behind him.

“Hey, Abby.”

“Hey, Jack.”

He moved from behind him to hug me.

“Who’s this gorgeous lady?”

I shook my head.

“This is my mom, Carol. Carol, meet Jack.”

“Pleasure to meet you.”

“Pleasure’s all mine.” he said.

“I’m sorry, but she’s taken. She has a boyfriend waiting for her back home.”

“Where’s home?”

“Virginia. Where I grew up.” I said, giving him a knowing look.

He backed off, but my mom got a kick out of the whole flirting act he put on.

"So, what's on the menu?" I asked Rian.

"The usual. Hot dogs. Burgers."

Alex came up from behind, scaring me. Rian shook his head.

"Hey."

"You scared the crap out of me." I tried saying with a straight face.

"Sorry."

He was not sorry.

"You need something, Alex?"

"Nope.”

He walked away and I shook my head.

“How do you deal with him?” I asked Rian.

“I don’t know.” he said laughing.

I laughed too. I looked over to see my mom socializing made me happy.

“It was nice to finally meet your mom.”

“I hadn’t spoken to her since I’ve moved out here.”

“Wow. Why so long?”

“I guess you could say we had a fallout. I was diagnosed with depression and she just didn’t get it, so after a year and an invitation from Miranda, I came here. She’s been trying to get a hold of me ever since and I only responded back in May.”

“You two good now?”

“We’re fantastic. We had a breakthrough.”

“I am so glad to hear that.”

I smiled.

“Thank you.”

Minutes later, I got a bite and found my mom chatting up Rian’s girlfriend.

“Hi Mom. How’s it going?”

“Fantastic. It just sucks that I have to leave in a couple hours.”

“But, you will see me again. I just don’t know when.”

“I know, honey.”

“Hey. I’m gonna go find that weird guy I’m engaged to.”

She laughed and nodded. After greeting Cassadee, I went to find Alex who was chatting up Zach. I came up from behind him and wrapped my arms around his middle.

“Hey.” he said touching my hands.

“Hey.”

“What’s up?”

“Not much. My mom’s enjoying herself.”

“That’s good to hear, babe.”

“Sorry, I interrupted.”

The time was passed quicker than I wanted and my mom had to leave. Getting into the car, my mood was changing and was beginning to become sad.

“You like the guys, Mom?”

“I love the guys. I see why you consider them family and you’re right about Jack. I don’t know how you deal with that craziness on a day-to-day basis.”

Alex and I laughed.

“Alex is almost as unpredictable as Jack. Just wanna let you know.”

“Is that right, Alex?”

“Yep.” he nodded.

Then, my mom began to laugh. The ride to the airport went faster than I wanted it to. Since we weren’t able to go inside to say goodbye, we had to say our goodbyes at the drop off entrance; I wasn’t ready.

“I’m going to miss you so much, Mom.” I said crying into her shoulder.

“I’m going to miss you so much, Abby, more than you’ll ever know.”

We hugged for the longest time, maybe even the longest I have ever hugged her in my life.

“Text me when you get off the plane and when you get home, ok?”

OMG. I was sounding just like a parent.

“I will, honey. I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

We finally separated and she walked into the airport with her overnight bag and her suitcase. I sobbed into Alex’s shoulder once she was out of eyesight. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head.

“I miss her already.”

“I know, baby.”

We stood there for a few minutes before I finally pulled myself together and got into the car.

“Can I get you anything?” he asked.

I shook my head. He squeezed my hand and started the car up again. I fell asleep on the way home because I was emotionally exhausted.

“Abby?”

I felt Alex’s hand on my arm, trying to wake me; I assumed we were finally home.

“Yeah?” I said in a groggy voice.

“We’re home.”

I nodded and slowly got out of the car.

“I’m gonna take a nap.”

“Ok.”

I walked into the house, taking my shoes and headed straight into the bedroom. I crawled into bed and laid down, hoping Alex would join me. When I saw him come in, I smiled and patted the bed; he joined me.

“Thanks for joining me.”

“How could I not?” he said smiling.

I moved my head onto his chest.

“I love you.” I said.

“I love you, too.”

It wasn’t long before I fell asleep. I woke to a still sleeping Alex and heard my stomach growl. I tried getting out of bed, but a voice stopped me.

“Don’t go.”

I tried not to laugh.

“But, I’m hungry.”

“No. Please stay.”

“I’ll order pizza.”

He immediately woke and slowly sat up.

“Ok.”

I laughed and went over to kiss him. I think I kissed him once today and that was this morning. It was nearing five now and that’s too long if you ask me. He made the kiss deeper and pulled me in and as much as I wanted to go order pizza, I was intoxicated.

“Damnit, Alex. Why do you have to do this to me? My stomach won’t shut up.”

“I’m hungry too, but I’m hungry for both you and pizza.”

“I’ll compromise just because you’re irresistible. One time, then I’ll order pizza and we can continue after we eat. Deal?”

“Deal.”

I locked my lips back onto his and grinded my hips into his like I did yesterday. The grip he had on mine was bound to leave bruises and that was perfectly fine to me and the squeeze to my ass caused me to moan.

“Alex.”

He looked up at me with the most intense look I’ve seen in quite a while.

“Take off my shorts.”

He rubbed me from outside them which elicited another moan.

“Please.” I said into his neck.

I moved so he could take them off.

“Thank you.” I said before biting his neck.

“My pleasure.”

“This shirt needs to come off along with some other things.”

I began kissing along his jawline.

“Fuck Abby.”

“Clothes off.”

I looked straight into his eyes hungrily. We quickly disposed of our clothes which felt freeing to be quite honest.

“You have no idea how much I’ve wanted you for the past couple days.” he said.

I blushed.

“I think I have some idea.” I said as I laid on the bed with Alex on top.

My hands through that hair of his before kissing him again and then putting my arms around his body.

“Ready?” he asked.

“Fuck yeah.”

And in one swift move, he entered me.

“I missed this.” I cried out.

The build-up sexual frustration let loose and the passion between us was immeasurable.

“Me too. Fuck.” he said looking straight into my eyes.

My fingernails dug into his skin and drew blood as I was nearing orgasm.

“Almost... there.”

With one more thrust, I came and collapsed into my pillow.

“Fuck.” I said, breathless.

“You can say that again.”

When he pulled out, he moved and laid beside me.

“Can I tell you something?”

“Of course.”

“I drew blood.” I said looking at my fingernails.

“Clearly, you were in need of this.”

“I have no idea how much longer I could’ve waited.”

“If I can be completely honest, I wanted you so much all day, especially with you being a tease in the bathroom this morning.”

I was flattered.

“I spent as little time as possible after that because I didn’t know what I’d do if I saw you naked.”

He laughed.

“I’m gonna order pizza. I really burned calories after that.”

“So did I.”

I laughed and put some appropriate clothes once I was out of bed.

“I hate that you have to get dressed.”

“Just for half an hour. We can eat naked if you’d like.”

“I’ll think about it.”

He smiled and kissed me. We sat in the living room while we waited for pizza.

“This is taking forever.” he whined.

“You poor baby.” I said pinching his cheek.

He pouted.

“It’s just gonna be ten more minutes.”

He nodded and pathetically laid his head on my shoulder till we heard the doorbell ring.

“Let me pay.” he said.

I wasn’t going to protest. The second the pizza came, he sat it down on the living room table while he grabbed us something to drink. Like the pig I am, I grabbed a slice and began eating.

“Someone’s hungry.” Alex said, sitting beside me.

If I wasn’t chewing, I would’ve laughed. I handed him a slice as I continued eating.

“How is it?” I asked.

“Delicious.”

“I have never been this hungry in my life. I might eat three slices, even four.”

I felt so comfortable around Alex that I didn’t even worry about how much of a glutton I can be and the man doesn’t judge; he’s actually told me he likes a woman who can eat which caused me to burst out into laughter.

“You’re gonna need fuel.”

I laughed.

“So are you.”

He laughed too.

Twenty minutes and three slices of pizza later, I was ready for another round.

“I’m heading to the bedroom. Wanna join me?” I asked.

“I’d love to.”

We went into the bedroom while I grabbed my lingerie bag and went into the bathroom. I bought four different sets of lingerie and I was frustrated; which set... oh, wait! I got it!

“Abby?” he asked five minutes later.

“I’ll be out in a minute!” I said adjusting what I was wearing.

That man better be in his briefs and sitting on the edge of the bed. This may just be the best I’ve ever worn. I opened the door to a sitting Alex who was speechless as I walked toward him.

“Is this- is this one of the t-treats you g-got me?”

He had trouble getting his words out; I loved it. I crawled into his lap before answering him.

“Yes.” I said seductively.

He wrapped his arms around me and placed those big hands on my back. I hungrily kissed him while he tried to get me even closer to him likely wanting to touch my chest.

“Can I undo this?”

I was right.

“Not yet.”

“When?”

“I’ll let you know, big boy.”

That’s when I felt his cock up against my incredibly sheer panties and first moaned.

“How about the bottom half?” he smirked, sticking a couple fingers in my pussy.

I was speechless. I had absolutely no idea what to say. Since I hadn’t answered him, he proceeded to thrust them in and out while I tossed my head back in pleasure.

“Oh my God, Alex. Please, please take them off.”

“Not yet.”

He’s using my words against me. I growled at him.

“Asshole.”

“You love it.”

“You’re right. I do. Now, come on.” I said, beginning to ride his fingers.

He eventually continued to do the job himself for a couple minutes till I came.

“I’ll take those off now.”

I got off his lap, so he could and once they were, I forcibly pushed him onto the bed. He started to nibble and bite my neck before moving down to my breasts which were still covered up.

“Now?”

“Please and thank you.”

“Much better.” he said once they were free.

He planted his face in my cleavage and soon I felt his tongue travel to my right nipple, flicking it. I’m gonna come again sooner rather than later and now, I can feel the warmth coming from me and it’s getting worse by the second. My heart was racing and I was enjoying every second of this. He did the same to the other when I felt his glorious mouth kiss my breasts then traveled downward. By the time he reached my clit, I was on the verge of orgasm.

“I’m gonna come.” I moaned, grasping his messy hair.

Only ten seconds later, I came with his face deep in my pussy.

“Come here and kiss me.”

He came up and kissed me.

“I love you so much right now. Two orgasms in less than five minutes.” I said, touching his face.

He laughed.

"How can I ever repay you?"

"Well, I have a friend who's in desperate need of help." he said scratching his head.

I laughed.

"I think I can help. What do I need to do?"

That night was one of the best nights I've ever had and I hope to have ones like it again.
