“Amelia, you feel incredible.”
“So do you.”
I thrust in and out of her slowly at first, but then I picked up the pace when she wrapped her legs around my waist and I fell deeper inside her. My lips met hers and our tongues danced together as I was on the verge of an orgasm.
“I’m going to come, Amelia. Can you come with me?”
“YES!” she screamed as her body tightened. I felt her coming and one last deep thrust was all it took before I spilled myself inside her.
Our hearts were racing and our breathing was shallow. I collapsed on top of her and held her tight. I never wanted to let go. Once our breathing returned to normal and our heart rates slowed, I sat up and pushed her hair behind her ear.
“You’re amazing.” I smiled.
She softly stroked my face with her finger. “That was the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. I didn’t know I could feel certain things.”
“I aim to please.” I smiled.
“You are fantastic in bed, Mr. Black. I have no words for what I felt. You sent me to places I’ve never been.”
I leaned in and kissed her one last time before we had to get dressed and head back to the city.
****
Over the next month, Amelia and I spent as much time together as we could. Actually, we saw each other every single day. I spent the night most nights, but it was difficult with her bed being so small. She wouldn’t spend the night at the penthouse because of my parents. The whole respect issue kept coming up. I really needed to get my own place. It was family dinner night, so I picked up Amelia and we went to the penthouse. As we were having dinner, her phone rang. She excused herself and picked it up from the counter. She answered it and suddenly became excited.
“What’s going on?” I asked as she hung up the phone.
“My parents’ house in the Hamptons sold. The buyer paid cash and I’m meeting the realtor tomorrow to collect the money.”
I got up from my chair and hugged her. “That’s great news, baby. I’m so happy for you.”
“Thanks. It couldn’t have come at a better time. Now I can pay off my student loans and still have enough money to live on until I start getting paid for being a nurse.”
Everyone congratulated her and we sat down to finish our dinner. As the women were cleaning up, I walked over to the bar and poured myself a scotch. My dad and Jake walked in shortly after.
“Would you like me to pour you one?” I asked.
“No thanks, Collin,” Jake replied.
“Sure. Do you have a second to talk?” my dad asked.
“What’s up, Dad?”
“I know you’ve been itching to get a place of your own and, if you think it’s cool, I would like to buy you the apartment that’s for sale on the same floor as Julia and Jake.”
I swear my heart stopped. “Dad, are you serious?” I asked as I handed him his scotch.
“Your mom and I talked and we think it would be good for you to have a place of your own. You’ve exceeded my expectations at Black Enterprises and you’re doing extremely well. I’m really proud of you, son.”
“Dad, I don’t know what to say. Thank you,” I said as I hugged him.
“You’re welcome and now, with you gone, that means your mom and I can fuck all over this place as many times as we want without the worry of anyone coming home.”
I hurried and covered my ears. “DAD!”
He chuckled as he raised his eyebrow and gave me a smile. My mom, Julia, and Amelia walked in the room and my mom looked at me and smiled. I walked over and pulled her into a warm embrace.
“Thank you, Mom. I love you.”
“I love you too, my sweet boy.”
“What’s going on?” Amelia asked.
I turned to her and placed my hands on her hips. “I’m getting a place of my own.”
“That’s wonderful! Where?”
“One floor down. By Julia and Jake.”
She smiled as she pressed her lips against mine. “That’s so cool.”
“I better get you home. It’s getting late.” I winked.
“You’re right. It is getting late.” She smiled.
“Getting late? It’s only eight thirty,” my dad said.
I shot him a look and he then knew exactly what I meant. “Oh, you’re right; it is getting late. You better get going. I’ll contact the realtor tomorrow and we’ll go look at the apartment downstairs.”
“Thanks again, Dad.”
Amelia and I said goodbye to everyone and I told my mom that I’d be back home tonight. She was happy about that because she wanted to make me breakfast in the morning.
We climbed into my Range Rover and I drove Amelia back to her apartment. As soon as we reached her door, she unlocked it, turned around, grabbed me by my shirt, and pulled me inside, smashing her lips against mine with force. My hands instantly gravitated to the bottom of her shirt as she broke our kiss and lifted up her arms.
“God, I need to fuck you up against the wall,” I said as I looked around. “Shit, baby, there’s no open wall space.” I laughed.
“I promise you amazing wall sex the minute you move into your new place.” She smiled as she nipped my bottom lip and unbuttoned my pants.
“I’m holding you to that promise.” I unhooked her bra and threw it on the floor. She pulled down my pants and took hold of my hard cock in her hand, stroking it up and down, sending me into oblivion.
“Not just wall sex either,” she said between kisses. “Kitchen sex, counter sex, bathroom sex, floor sex. Just fucking sex all over the place.”
That was it. I needed to be inside her immediately after all that sex talk. I ripped her panties from her and pushed her back on the bed. As I plunged two fingers inside her to make sure she was ready, she moaned.
“I want you to take me from behind,” she said as she pushed my fingers out of her and rolled over.
“Fuck, baby. I’m dying here.”
“Then get moving, Mr. Black. I want you now!”
I pushed inside her and we both gasped. I moved in and out at a rapid pace, bringing both of us to orgasm at the same time. I pushed and pumped every last drop inside her and then collapsed on top of her, softly kissing her neck with the smallest kisses and holding her breasts in my hands.
“You’re amazing, baby. Just fucking amazing. I love you,” I whispered.
“I love you too, Collin.”
I rolled off of her and onto the other side of her small bed. As much as I loved being with her at her place, it was way too small for two people. We both lay there and I wrapped my arm around her. She placed her hand on me and began to stroke my chest.
“That is so nice of your dad to buy you your own place. I’m so happy for you.”
“He has his motives.” I laughed.
“What do you mean?”
“As much as my mom and dad love having me at home, it’s cramping their sex life because I’m always catching them starting to do things in places other than their bedroom and I yell at them. Plus, my dad thinks I’m old enough and responsible to be on my own. Not to mention the fact that I’m always complaining about how small your place is.” I smiled.
“Yeah, it kind of sucks here, doesn’t it?”
“Nah. Anywhere with you is perfect. Except when I can’t fuck you against the wall.”
She giggled. I moved my arm and leaned over, licking her breast before sucking her now hardened nipple. “Okay, baby. I should go. You have to be up early and so do I.”
“I want you to stay,” she pouted.
“I want to stay, but I told my mom I’d be home tonight. Soon, we won’t have to say goodbye like this. You can spend the night at my place and I’ll drive you to school and to your clinicals in the morning.”
“I can’t wait.” She smiled as she kissed me goodbye.
Chapter 25
Amelia and I stayed up and talked on the phone until two in the morning. The next morning, before getting out of bed, I grabbed my p
hone from my nightstand and saw a text message from Hailey.
“Hi, Collin. I was wondering if we could talk. I told my parents last night and they are really upset and I need to talk to someone.”
I sighed. I didn’t know if it was such a good idea. The fact that she hurt me really bad wasn’t even a factor anymore. I was over it and everything happens for a reason. We did grow up together and had known each other since birth. So I guessed listening to her would be okay.
“I guess. I’ll text you later when I’m available.”
“Thanks. I appreciate it.”
I took a shower, got dressed, ran down the stairs, and followed the amazing scent of French toast and coffee.
“Good morning, Mom.” I smiled as I walked over and kissed her.
“Good morning, Dad,” I said as I poured a cup of coffee.
“You’re in a great mood today, son,” he said.
“That’s because things are good.”
I sat down at the table and my mom set down a plate of French toast in front of me.
“Have you spoken to Hailey?” my mom asked.
“Not really. Why?”
“Peyton and Henry are really worried about her. All she’s been doing lately is staying locked in her room. Did something happen in Italy?”
“Yeah, she got knocked up,” I blurted out as I took a bite of my French toast.
“WHAT!” my mom exclaimed.
“I’m surprised Aunt Peyton didn’t call you. She told them last night.”
“That’s a shame,” my dad said as he took a sip of his coffee.
“Peyton did call me last night, but I didn’t answer because your father and I were in the middle of—”
“STOP! Can’t you just say that you were busy? Do you always have to be so detailed?”
I looked at my dad as he sat there laughing. “It’s not funny, Dad. How would the both of you like it if I brought Amelia here and had wild sex and were so loud, you could hear us in any room of the house?”
“Collin, that’s not cool,” my mom said.
“EXACTLY! Now you get how I feel. I don’t like the thought of my parents having sex. That’s just...just...”
“Okay, son. We get it. We’ll try to be more careful with what we say,” my dad said.
“You’ve been saying that for years,” I said as I rolled my eyes.
“Well, I’m going to call Peyton. Now I feel horrible.” My mom kissed me on the head and walked upstairs.
My dad got up from his seat and put his plate in the dishwasher. “Ralph is driving me to the office today. Are you joining me or are you driving yourself?”
“I’m driving myself.”
“Okay. I’ll see you at the office,” my dad said.
“Have fun with Ralphie.” I laughed.
My dad stopped and turned around. “He is a bit strange.”
I laughed as I got up from my chair and grabbed my keys from the kitchen counter.
As I pulled into the parking garage of Black Enterprises, my phone rang. I pulled it from my pocket and it was my girl calling.
“Good morning, baby.”
“Good morning. How was your breakfast?”
“It was great! I wish you were there.”
“My clinicals were cancelled for today, so my friend Gina and I are going to the library for the day to study for our exams that are coming up. Plus, I have a research paper that’s due tomorrow.”
“Okay, babe. Have a good day and I’ll see you later. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
As soon as I got to my office, my secretary, Blythe stopped me. “Mr. Black, your father wants to see you in his office.”
“I just saw him thirty minutes ago.”
She shrugged and went back to typing on her computer. I stepped into my office, set my briefcase down, grabbed a cup of coffee, and headed across the hall to his office.
“Morning, Diana. How are you?”
“Good morning, Collin. I’m good. After you meet with your father, can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Sure. Let me go see what the old man wants.” I winked.
I opened the door. He had just hung up the phone. “Come in and have a seat.”
“What’s up?”
“Congratulations, son. We just landed the Firman deal.” He smiled.
“What the fuck! Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m dead serious.”
“How did that happen? I basically told Mr. Firman to fuck off after all the shit he tried to pull with the deal.”
“I guess he liked you and your ‘I don’t give a shit if you don’t go with us’ attitude.”
I sat there as my dad smiled at me. I knew how proud he was and it made me happy. Black Enterprises was going to be my company one day and I was going to make sure it stayed strong and successful, just like my dad did when he took it over from my grandfather.
“You’re getting a huge bonus, son. I’m taking you to lunch later and we’re going to celebrate.” He smiled.
“Thanks, Dad.” I smiled as I shook his hand.
I walked out of his office and stopped at Diana’s desk. “I heard the good news. Congratulations.”
“Thanks. What did you want to talk about? Is Jacob okay?”
“He had his doctor appointment yesterday and I told him how much better Jacob was doing after you took him surfing. Unfortunately, it didn’t last once we got back to the city. The doctor told me that the ocean water would definitely help Jacob because of the high content of saline in it. You knew that, didn’t you?”
I pursed my lips and gave a small smile. “I was hoping it would work. I had been doing some research and I came across several articles that stated it’s the natural way of helping patients with cystic fibrosis. I hate to tell you this, Diana, but I think you need to move to the ocean.”
“Yeah, right, Collin. There’s no way I can afford that. Plus, I’d have to pack up and move somewhere where it’s warm all year long.”
“California,” I said with seriousness.
“Don’t be silly. Go back to your office. I have work to finish for your father before he fires me.” She winked.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and smiled at her before I walked away. As I walked down the hall, she called my name. I turned around and looked at her.
“Thank you.” She smiled.
I nodded my head, put my hands in my pockets, and went back to my office.

“Here’s to your sometimes lousy attitude.” My dad smiled as he held up his scotch.
I brought my glass to his. “Thanks, Dad. I appreciate it.”
“I called your mom to come and join us, but she’s with Peyton. I wonder how that’s going.”
“Oh shit. I forgot about Hailey.”
“What are you talking about, son?”
“Hailey sent me a text message this morning, asking if she could talk to me because Peyton and Henry were really upset about her being pregnant and I told her I would.”
“Are you going to tell Amelia?”
“I didn’t plan on it. Why? It’s only a quick talk.”
“Son, if I’ve learned anything at all in life, it’s NEVER keep anything from the woman you love. Even if it’s the smallest insignificant thing. You really need to trust me on that one.”
His phone rang and, as he answered it, I pulled out mine and sent a text message to Amelia.
“I love you, baby.”
“I love you too. I hope your day is going good.”
“It’s the best day ever. Well, except when I first laid eyes on you. I’ll tell you all about it later.”
“Lol. I can’t wait.”
My dad hung up from his call and smiled. “The realtor is on her way to the apartment now. I told her we’d meet her there in fifteen minutes.”
“Great; let’s go,” I said as I reached in my pocket and pulled out my keys.
We drove to the building and, when we stepped off the elevator, my heart
started racing when I saw the realtor. Shit. I thought to myself. She turned and looked at us as she unlocked the door across from Julia’s and Jake’s apartment.
“Hello there, Mr. Black. What a small world.”
“Yes, it is,” I said as my dad and I stepped inside the apartment.
“You know my son?” my dad asked.
Shit.
“Yes, I do. We just closed the deal on the house in the Hamptons.” She smiled.
My dad grabbed the back of my neck. “Is that so?” he said as he looked at me.
I wiggled out of his grip and smiled at Macy, the realtor. “Let’s see this great apartment, shall we?”
She showed us around and I fell in love with it. I could see myself making this my home. A home for me and Amelia someday.
“What do you think, son?” my dad asked.
“I love it, Dad. Plus, you and mom are right upstairs, so if you ever need me, I can be up in a flash. I love the fact that it’s so close to family. Julia and Jake are right across the hall. I need to be close to my family.” I tried to sugarcoat it so he wouldn’t yell at me about the beach house once we were alone.
My dad looked at me and rolled his eyes. “We’ll take it. I can write you a check right now so my son can have the keys. I’m sure he’s dying to move in.”
“Brilliant. Let me run downstairs and grab the paperwork from my car and we can settle this today.”
As soon as she walked out of the apartment, my dad walked up and smacked me on the back of the head.
“What the hell did you do?”
“Ouch, Dad. Stop with the hands. Okay, I bought Amelia’s parents’ house in the Hamptons.”
“What did I tell you when you asked me to buy it?”
“I know. But please listen to me. That house means everything to her and she was sad when it sold, but she needed the money so bad. I want to make it our home someday. Like you did for Mom.”
My dad sighed and walked over to the window. “She’s the one for you. Isn’t she?”
“Yes, Dad, she is. She’s my entire world now. I thought I was in love with Hailey when we were together, but I wasn’t. Yeah, I loved her; don’t get me wrong. But I didn’t know what actual love was until I met Amelia. I feel things for her that I never felt for Hailey. I have new emotions, new feelings; things I can’t explain. I want to protect her and shield her from all the bad in the world. I want to help her get better and I want to spend my life with her. Dad, I can actually envision a future with her and kids. I know it seems weird to you and you’re thinking it’s too soon, but she’s the love of my life and I’ll do anything to make her happy. And if buying the house where she had one last good memory of her family before they were torn away from her makes her happy, then damn right I’m going to do it.”
