All or Nothing Page 10

  I grin ‘best week of my life’

  He grins back ‘I met the love of my life’ my eyes jump to his my heart leaps.

  ‘Really?’

  ‘Absolutely, you in your shorts and your cute little arse wiggling how could I resist’

  I grin placing my fork down and move over to him, ‘I love you’ I murmur taking his head and kissing the Chicken Chow Mein away, he grabs me and lifts me over to the sofa dropping me down before reaching down removing his t-shirt from my body.

  ‘I think enough talking has been had Miss Stephens’ he is in dominating mode and I love it. He removes his clothes leaving both of us naked ‘by the way I think you have the perfect body, pure woman with your real breasts and shapely hips’ as he talks about the different body parts he strokes them ‘and the cutest arse’ he moves over me licking my nipples as I groan, ‘when you groan I feel it in my groin Miss Stephens’ he pants as he sucks my nipples hard causing me to call out ‘aaahhh’

  ‘Just like that’ he growls.

  I move to grasp his throbbing erection squeezing, stroking back and forth, ‘in my mouth’ I instruct him and he moves to enable me to suck him, I lick the length of him flicking my tongue where his shaft meets his testicles,

  ‘Whoa’ he sucks in a breath ‘what is that?’ he obviously likes it so I continue to suck in and out and every now and then I lick down the solid shaft to that area ‘fuck Abi you are killing me here, put your hands behind your back’ he instructs me and I obey glancing up at him. He gently pushes in and out my mouth at his pace as my hands are behind me, ‘oh yes, I love fucking your mouth Abi’ he pants as I sense him losing control I suck harder and he pounds into me, ‘I am going to come Abi’ he thrusts again and warm liquid oozes into my mouth, I use my hands now to guide him in and out as I suck every last drop.

  ‘Hmmmm’ I moan as he is gasping for breath.

  ‘Jesus’ he gasps stroking my hair ‘stand’ I kiss up his body my sex aching with lust as he sits and pulls me into his lap ‘I love you so much Abigail’ he kisses me groaning ‘so much’ his hands stroke my already aching body his fingers pinching my nipples as I groan, he pushes me back and opens my legs for his viewing. He sucks hard on my sex sending me into a frenzy my hips lift automatically and he pushes them down as his tongue enters me hard in and out, ‘Oh my god!’ I scream as he licks my core before he sucks hard on my clitoris and I explode around him my insides clenching at the generous release. I sit up and straddle him moving my lips over his ‘I love you Grant’ I move my lips gently across his my tongue tracing the outline as his hand finds my hair pulling me deeper into him groaning. Our tongues are stroking and sucking as I rub my moist core along Grant’s recovering erection, the friction is rubbing my clitoris causing me to pant. Grant lifts me to prevent me doing this inserting two fingers inside me ‘ride them’ he orders and I comply slipping up and down my head thrown back as he watches, ‘oh yes’ he pants before removing them and pulling me down on his now hard erection,

  ‘Ahhhh’ I cry out as it hits the spot ‘oh yes Grant’ I link my fingers through his preventing him from setting the pace as I circle the tip only,

  ‘Abi’ he warns attempting to thrust up into me deeper but I move away his eyes darken and I smile as I move slowly against him, too gently for me but when I see how it drives Grant mad I have to suffer it. I groan as I circle my hips lower and lower until I am grinding against him and we are both nearing our release, I allow him to have his hands back as he places them on my hips and thrusts deeply against me as my body shudders and I come hard and fast around him. He calls out my name and explodes inside me stroking in and out for what seems like an age emptying every last drop.

  He pulls me into his arms keeping himself inside me as I fist his hair, ‘no one has ever made me feel like you’ I whisper to him.

  ‘Me too’ he strokes my hair off my face ‘come on bed’

  ‘I am going to take a shower first’ I inform him and move to the bathroom.

  ‘Well now I am going to have to join you’ he sighs teasing and I giggle.

  Saturday morning Grant has to work so heads to his home office about 10am leaving me to my own devices. I had brought my belongings with me as I was aware I was staying so dress in skinny jeans and a purple top, I twist my hair up into a clip and apply some make up before finding my handbag and laptop, time to do some delving.

  First I call David who for a moment considers I am calling for a date and I suddenly feel uncomfortable.

  ‘Sorry to call you David but this is a business call’ I soothe.

  ‘Well never mind it is lovely to hear from you anyway’ he insists ‘what’s the problem?’

  ‘Well first off I am not looking for free advice, I expect you to bill Grant for this’ I explain the situation as far as I am aware of it and David advises that he meets with Grant and gathers all the information first hand.

  ‘Oh great thank you David, can we set up an appointment now?’

  ‘Sure, I can see him this morning if that helps other than that we are looking at the end of the week I am afraid’

  ‘Oh that would be great, could you come to the apartment as Grant is working from here today?’

  ‘Sure, what’s the address?’ I give him the details and he informs me he will be there within the hour. I make my way to the office and tap lightly against the door which is ajar, ‘come in Abi’ he calls gently his head in his computer, he glances up and assesses my outfit, ‘very nice, you have the body made for skinny jeans’ he purrs.

  ‘Why thank you sir’ I grin ‘I realize you are busy but I have made a decision without running it by you I hope that is ok?’

  ‘Go on’ he mumbles suspiciously.

  ‘You are so distrustful. David is on his way for an appointment regarding Amber, I discussed the basics with him but he needs to get the information from you. It was today or the end of the week so I agreed to today, the sooner we get things sorted the better do you not think?’

  He nods, ‘I agree good call thank you Abi’ he pulls me and lands me in his lap ‘have I told you how much I love you today?

  ‘Not today’ I admonish him.

  ‘Well I do, very much’ and he drops a kiss on my lips ‘now go woman before I lose concentration, let me know when David arrives’

  ‘Ok, would you rather I went home today if you are working, we can meet up later if you like?’

  ‘No!’ he growls ‘I want you here, I just lost a couple of days this week being away’

  ‘Only I won’t be offended’ I express again.

  ‘No I like having you around Abi don’t disappear on me please’ he looks anxious.

  ‘Ok’ I agree and move back to my laptop to do some research on paternity tests.

  The intercom buzzes and I move to the door, ‘hi’ I call.

  ‘Hi Abi, its David’

  ‘Come on up’ I invite opening the front door and moving to the office, I tap again and Grant calls ‘you don’t have to knock Abi’

  ‘David’s here’ I murmur.

  ‘Ok’ he stands and stretches his back and I wrap my arms around him kissing his chin.

  ‘You want me to busy myself somewhere?’

  ‘No, I have nothing to hide’ he assures me grabbing my hand and leading me back to the living area. I move to the kitchen area and switch the kettle on, with a gentle tap David calls,

  ‘Hi’ and Grant is there,

  ‘Hi David’ he shakes his hand ‘thank you for coming on such short notice please come in’ David enters and moves to the dining table with Grant, I move around and smile at him,

  ‘Hi David’ he bends to kiss my cheek.

  ‘Hi Abi good to see you again’ his eyes drink me in similarly to Grants and I wonder about whether this was a great idea.

  ‘And you, thank you again can I get you a drink?’

  ‘Coffee would be good thank you Abi, just black please’ he places his briefcase on the table withdrawing some papers.

  ‘Grant?�
��

  ‘The same please baby’ he hums and I know it is for David’s benefit. I leave them to it move to the kitchen area to prepare the drinks as they seat at the table. I place the drinks down and continue to the fridge to check on food for lunch, I am within earshot of the conversation but don’t feel it is my place to join them. Who does Grant’s shopping I wonder, I bet he has a lady that cleans and shops for him.

  They were discussing dates and my ears prick up, so when Amber informed Grant of the pregnancy it was before we met in Vegas? That somehow makes me feel uncomfortable, why did he start an affair with me if he had all this drama going on? I assumed that it was after Vegas he found out. I push it to the back of my mind, I guess he was single and I was single and we were both aware it was merely a holiday fling neither of us wishing for anymore at the time.

  The more I contemplate it the more I become anxious I need to just accept what it is and deal with it, we both felt better last night after facing Amber. My mobile rings and I move over to take it moving into the bedroom, ‘hello’

  ‘Hi angel how are you doing?’ it was my mum.

  ‘Hi mum, I am good thank you. Everything ok with you and dad?’

  ‘Yes all fine, you coming to see us tomorrow?’ I think for a minute, ‘yes I will be down about 1pm is that ok?’

  ‘Sure, I will do dinner. Where are you?’ she enquires naturally.

  ‘Erm at a friends’ I stutter.

  ‘Oh right a male friend by the cageyness’ she teases.

  ‘Yes a male friend mum’ I feel my cheeks flush and I roll my eyes.

  ‘Well feel free to bring him along’ she tempts.

  I laugh ‘what are you like mum, I will see you tomorrow’

  I have a voicemail from Bella which I listen to,

  Hi, just checking you are still alive.

  I am at Mike’s what you guys doing later?

  Call me.

  I wander back into the living area and David is putting his things away.

  ‘How did it go?’ I probe innocently.

  David glances at Grant, ‘Abi can know anything regarding this case David, I am not concealing anything’ he informs him.

  ‘Yes fine, we can set the wheels in motion now for the paternity test but we do need to ascertain whether she is pregnant and how far along by a hospital scan. I imagine things are going to be tense with the prospective mother for a while so we work by the book do not attempt to contact Amber and if she contacts you write it down and send a statement of the events over immediately’

  ‘David, thank you very much for your help’ Grant shakes his hand respectfully before turning to me.

  ‘Abigail, a pleasure as always’ he kisses my cheek and Grant walks him to the door.

  Once David has gone Grant saunters over to me, ‘someone has an admirer’ he murmurs kissing my neck.

  ‘He is just a decent guy’ I mutter embarrassed.

  ‘He is a good guy’ he agrees ‘who was on the phone?’

  ‘My mum, it is my Sunday to visit them tomorrow she invited you too actually if you are at a loose end’ I reply flippantly.

  ‘What did you notify her about me?’ he appears a little unsure.

  ‘Nothing really just that I am at a friends and she suggested my friend is welcome’ I shrug.

  ‘Friend eh?’ he pulls me against his groin.

  ‘Good friend?’ I suggest and he growls his teeth against my ear lobe.

  ‘How would you have me describe you, the man that makes my knees buckle in bed……oh and by the way who is having a baby with another woman?’

  ‘God that sounds terrible’ he mumbles running his hand over his face ‘I am so sorry Abi, I should let you go I realize that but I can’t, I shouldn’t invite you into all this chaos’

  I wrap my arms around him ‘let’s just take a day at a time’ I mumble into his neck my insides churning at the thought of never seeing him again ‘Bella called she is at Mike’s they want to know what our plans are tonight’

  ‘I thought we would take a drive out this afternoon find a little country pub to eat in?’

  ‘Sounds like heaven to me’

  Chapter Thirteen

  ‘So it’s probably best we don’t mention the baby at this point’ I plead with Grant ‘my parents wouldn’t understand’

  Grant regards me for a moment ‘Ok, I can drop you off and collect you later if you would prefer’ he murmurs quietly.

  ‘No! I want you to meet them but there is no point in sharing our dramas until absolutely necessary’ I express running my hand nervously over my hair ‘I want their first impression of you not to be tainted by all this, I want them to see in you what I did’

  His face is strained I recognize he is battling with all of this, it is one thing us locking ourselves away in his ivory castle leaving the world behind us but in real life the world isn’t as forgiving.

  Mum greets us at the door of her and dad’s small terraced house, ‘Hi angel’ she kisses me pulling me in for a hug.

  ‘Hi mum, this is Grant’ I stand back introducing my green eyed beauty, Grant had dressed in jeans and a shirt with a smart jacket and looked delicious.

  ‘Pleasure to meet you Mrs Stephens’ Grant shakes her hand politely.

  Mum pulls Grant down and kisses his cheek, ‘lovely to meet you Grant’ she smiles adoringly up at him and I smile. We walk into the kitchen where dad is stirring something on the stove ‘Hi dad’ I call moving over to him wrapping my arms around him.

  ‘Hi precious’ dad hugs me back dropping a kiss on my head ‘how’s my favorite girl?’

  ‘Good thanks dad, dad this is Grant’ I gesture towards Grant who holds out his hand to my dad.

  ‘Grant, good to meet you’ dad retorts.

  ‘Mr Stephens thank you for having me’

  ‘Ray please!’ dad insists ‘you are very welcome son’

  I notice that Grant visibly relaxes as we sit and enjoy mum’s roast dinner, my parents are extremely approachable and soon we are all chatting naturally. Dad talks cars with Grant and they seem to bond over their love of fast vehicles, mum gazes up at Grant and I grin well he has definitely charmed my mum.

  ‘My daughter seems to have forgotten to mention you Grant, how did you guys meet?’ mum enquires and I flush.

  ‘I will leave that story to Abi’ he smiles over to me his eyes expressing he will go along with whatever I say.

  ‘Abi?’ Mum frowns.

  ‘We met in Vegas mum when I went to that awful wedding with Scott’ I decide honesty is the best policy.

  ‘Oh!’ mum appears confused, I informed mum on my return that Scott and I had parted company but I never elaborated.

  ‘Scott ditched me on the plane over mum and Grant rescued me’ I flush as our Vegas affair fills my mind.

  ‘Oh’ Mum looks furious ‘what he just left you?’

  ‘Pompous arse’ dad fumes.

  ‘Mum, just forget it ancient history’ I press.

  ‘Well thank you for looking out for my girl Grant’ dad pats Grant on the back.

  ‘Anytime’ he murmurs his eyes sparkling towards me.

  I grin and mum smiles at the interaction ‘so you have been dating a few months then?’

  ‘Erm, sort of’ Ok this is getting complicated now ‘anyway we should be thinking of making a move I have laundry to do’

  Mum and dad are gushing all over Grant and I find it amusing, after the kisses and please come agains we finally make it into the car and drive off.

  ‘They are charming’ Grant mumbles as we pull into the motorway.

  ‘They are, you definitely have a couple of fans there’ I turn to face him and he smiles.

  ‘For now’ he mutters and I know he is referring to Amber and the baby.

  I stare out of the window contemplating the future, if only we didn’t have this hanging over us we would be so happy.

  ‘You ok?’ he calls.

  ‘Yes just tired’ I reply suddenly feeling sad.

  ‘You
sure you won’t come back with me?’

  ‘No I really do have laundry to do, but thank you for a great weekend’

  ‘Thank you Abi’ he whispers.

  Grant drops me home but refuses to come in explaining he is going to check in on one of his clubs on the way home.

  ‘We ok?’ he wraps his arms around me at the door kissing my neck ‘you have been extremely quiet during the drive back’

  ‘Of course’ I hug him tight breathing him in, he tips my chin up to search my face.

  ‘You know I love you don’t you?’ he reminds me perceptive to my mood.

  ‘I know’ I nod tears forming behind my eyes.

  ‘Abi, what is it?’ his eyes are anxious.

  ‘I am fine’ I take a breath ‘probably hormones’ I lie.

  He nods, ‘you sure you don’t want to grab your things and come back with me?’

  ‘No thank you’ I lean up and kiss him gently ‘I love you’

  ‘That’s not the problem though is it? Us loving each other’ he sighs, I just stroke his face and pull away.

  ‘Speak to you soon’ I force a smile and he does the same.

  ‘See you soon Abi’

  I once again throw myself into my work not leaving the office until 8.34pm on Monday, Grant had called briefly at around 6pm but I had to cut him short as I was going into a meeting with Richard and the Managing Director regarding my new position. I walk slowly out of the building hungry and tired and notice Grant’s Jaguar parked outside. He exits the car and walks towards me his face tense and troubled.

  ‘Hi’ I call my eyes lighting up at his presence.

  ‘Hi’ he mumbles his eyes penetrating mine before relaxing slightly, we stand gazing at each other my insides fluttering ‘I missed you’ he murmurs quietly.

  ‘I missed you too’ I whisper as my stomach somersaults and I reach up placing my lips against his, he inhales a breath before his hand finds my neck and deepens the kiss his eyes closed. We stand on the pavement our tongues stroking each other’s, this isn’t about sex this is about reconnecting. Grant ends the kiss leaving me heavy eyed ‘come on’ he grabs my hand and guides me to the car where he opens the passenger door.

  I enter inside and settle in the leather seat, Grant joins me and starts the car, ‘you hungry?’
