Building Something Hot Page 9

  After they caught up a little, Briella decided to drop the bomb on Dexter.

  “So, where is the computer that Dexter jacks off in front of for Mila?” Briella asked conversationally.

  “What!?” Dexter and Kason yelled at the same time. Mila and Dexter both turned beet red.

  “Oh, you didn’t know? Our little love birds here thought it would be so special to masturbate for each other while on the webcam. I just found out the other night,” Briella informed Kason.

  “Tell me you’re fucking kidding!” Kason said to Briella.

  “Ask for yourself,” Briella told Kason. Kason looked at Dexter for answers.

  “Yeah, we did, but I didn’t get anything on the computer, man. Besides, we thought you two were doing the same thing, and that’s why you bought the webcam,” Dexter said, embarrassed.

  “You dirty little shit. I’ll get you for this, perv!” he teased.

  Kason looked at Mila, whose head was in her hands. “And you Mila, I expected better from you. Oh, the disappointment!” he said dramatically, clutching at his chest as though he had just been handed a terrible blow. They both know that he was messing with them, that he wasn’t really mad, but the embarrassment was complete. Mila turned so red Briella thought her ears might burst into flame.

  She decided to let them off the hook. “Hey, speaking of urges, want to help me with mine, Country Boy? I’ve been missing you like crazy, and I seem to remember something you said about no music?”

  “I thought you’d never ask!” he said, and pulled her up from the couch to kiss her passionately.

  Just then, Parker walked back into the room.

  “What are you doing?” Parker yelled when she saw them, her eyes wide in surprise.

  Kason broke the kiss, surprised to see Parker standing there, glaring at them. Briella’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Parker. Kason grabbed Briella’s hand and led her toward the stairs.

  He got halfway up the stairs and turned to look back down at Parker. “You know what Parker? This is none of your business! You are my employee , nothing else. Its time you started to realize that,” he yelled at her.

  Kason stopped for a minute, looked up at Briella, then back to Parker and said calmly, “We’re going to be busy for a while, then we’re going out to dinner. You might as well go home now and come back tomorrow, with a new attitude. Don’t be too early. I’m sure we won’t get much sleep tonight.”

  He turned back to Briella, as she giggled and jumped into his arms, giving him another knee-weakening kiss. He carried her up the stairs and brought her to his bedroom.

  Parker was shocked and looked over at Dexter and Mila. Dexter shrugged. “You had to know that was going to happen, Parker. He’s been telling you ‘no’ for how long? He is in love with Briella, so it’s time to see him as your employer, not as a possible mate.”

  Mila nodded. “It’s time to leave him alone Parker. You really don’t want to mess with Briella. She’s tough when someone gets in the way of what she wants.”

  Parker opened her mouth to speak, then shut it again. Tears sprang to her eyes. Mila saw this and felt both bad for Parker but satisfied that it had finally sunk in. “Just wanted to warn you. Now, if you’ll excuse us, I think Dexter needs to give me a proper welcome!”

  She grabbed Dexter’s hand and led him upstairs.

  When everyone had left the game room, Parker sat on the couch, crying. She had known that Kason was holding back, but she had honestly thought it was a game he was playing. She just couldn’t believe that Kason didn’t want her.

  She cried for a good long while, then dried her eyes and headed for the door. There had to be a way. There had to be some mistake. There had to be some way to show Kason what he really wanted, as long as that other woman wasn’t around to pull his attention away.

  She left the house determined to find a way to get Kason away from Briella.

  Upstairs, Kason led Briella to his bedroom, but then he asked her to wait before they went inside.

  “I can’t believe you said that to her,” Briella said, her eyes wide. She hadn’t known how things really were between them, though she had chosen to give Kason the benefit of the doubt. Now that she knew, she was undeniably pleased.

  “You’re the only woman I want,” he reminded her.

  “So why do I have to wait before I go inside?”

  With a knowing grin, he disappeared behind the door and shut it in her face. Briella put her hand against it and wondered what in the world he was doing in there. It seemed to take a very long time, but soon he opened the door and told her to close her eyes.

  When she shut them, Kason opened the door and led her into the room. Briella could feel the heat from candles, as well as see the little flashes of shadows against her closed eyelids. She knew that he obviously had a lot of candles lit in the room, even though she couldn’t see them.

  After he had led her to the middle of the room, he pulled her into his arms and whispered against her neck “You can open your eyes now.”

  Briella slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. There were at least a hundred candles lit. No wonder it had taken him so long! Right behind them was a king-sized bed with navy blue silk sheets, and on the bed was a white box with a big red ribbon on top. On the tables on each side of the bed sat vases of Fire & Ice roses.

  Briella gasped at the beauty of the room. Kason sat her down on the bench at the end of the bed and handed her the box. “Something beautiful for a beautiful woman,” he said, and stepped back, waiting for her to open it.

  Inside was a baby blue silk nightgown with a matching robe. Briella ran her hands over the gown and looked up at Kason. “This is beautiful, Country Boy! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to wear it for you.”

  “Why wait? The bathroom is right through that door. Go put it on,” Kason suggested, pointing to a door across the room. While Briella was changing, Kason undressed down to his boxers and slipped between the sheets.

  After a few minutes, Briella came out wearing the nightgown. It fit her perfectly. It was a long gown with a slit all the way up her thigh that showed her left leg with each step. It was very classy, not something that made her feel cheap. She actually loved the way it felt against her skin and how it flowed over every curve.

  Kason’s mouth went dry, and the only sound he could hear was the blood pumping in his head.

  “Wow…” was all he could say.

  “So you like it then?” Briella asked, smiling at him in the candlelight.

  Kason nodded, still unable to get the words out. He was lying with his back against the headboard, half sitting up. Briella walked over to the bed and climbed on top of him, her gown flowing gently around her curves to settle over his thighs.

  Briella brought her hand up to his face. She began tracing all the contours of his countenance, as if to memorize every aspect of it. Kason closed his eyes and leaned into her touch. It had been so long since she had touched him, and he had missed her so much.

  Kason caught her hand and kissed her palm. “I have missed you so much,” he said.

  “God, I have missed you too!”

  “I’ve been counting the minutes until I would see you again. It’s getting harder and harder to be apart. I feel like I’m in a dream when you’re here with me.”

  “If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up,” she said with a smile.

  “I wish you could stay here forever…”

  “Make love to me, Country Boy,” she whispered, already breathless. “I need you.”

  “If you insist…” Kason gently flipped her over to lie on her back. He kissed her softly at first, then harder as she pushed her lips up toward him and silently begged for more. As he pushed the spaghetti straps of her nightgown down her shoulder, he kissed each bit of skin he revealed. “Just remember what I said about the walls,” he murmured. “Don’t hold back at all. I want to give you pleasures you’ve never reached before.”

  Kason sat back on his knees le
gs and ran his hand up the outside of her legs, pushing the hem of her gown up as he went. When the bottom of the gown was around her waist, Kason dipped his head down and kissed the inside of her thighs.

  Soon he was kissing the core of her, and she gasped with the sudden sensation. He took his time, teasing and licking and even gently biting before he settled in for what she knew would be a very quick and satisfying moment. Then he was licking her most sensitive spot and pressing his fingers into her, and she was lifting her hips to meet him as he murmured unintelligible things against her skin.

  She erupted in her first climax of the day, screaming with pleasure.

  Kason came up and lay next to Briella after he felt her first wave pass. He whispered urgently, “I need something from you…I’m not going to last. I’m just too excited.”

  Briella realized exactly what he wanted, and she was more than happy to oblige. She moved down the bed as he lay on his back. Without hesitation, she bent down and took him in her mouth. She didn’t bother to tease him or play with him - that would come later. Right now she wanted to give him the same pleasure she had felt, and she knew it wouldn’t take long. After a few strokes of her hot mouth and wet tongue, Kason groaned that he was going to come.

  Briella simply moaned on him and kept doing what she was doing. Within moments he grunted and exploded in her mouth. She kept moving until his hips stopped bucking and his hand twined through her hair, urging her up.

  Kason smiled at her. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I think it was the nightgown or something. Maybe the way you screamed my name…I just couldn’t wait.”

  Briella laughed. “It’s actually very flattering that you couldn’t wait.” She lay down next to Kason and pulled the hem of her nightgown down.

  He grabbed her hand. “What are you doing? We aren’t done yet.”

  Kason took Briella’s hand and put it on his hardness. The surprise and delight was clear in her eyes as she smiled up at him. “See, I’m ready for you again. You didn’t think I’d let you off that easy, did you? God, I want to be inside you so bad right now,” Kason said, his eyes still burning with desire.

  “There’s nothing stopping you…”

  But before Kason could move, Briella pushed his shoulders and made him settle back onto the bed. She climbed on top of him again, this time with her gown hiked up to her waist. She kissed his neck and his chest, teasing him, but he grabbed her hips with his strong hands and pushed her down on him, grinding against her. “Please don’t make me wait,” he said.

  Briella slid him into her and they both groaned with the pleasure of it. Now that she was in control, she moved fast enough to keep him on the edge but too slow to let him come. She watched his face as he begged her for more, enjoying the heady sensation of having so much power over him.

  But soon even she couldn’t hold back anymore, and she moved faster. When the time came, neither one of them held back the sounds. Briella cried out his name and Kason hollered louder than she had ever heard him.

  She finally dropped to the bed beside him, exhausted.

  Briella fell asleep soon after, and Kason lay there watching her. He was deeply in love with Briella even after such a short time, and sometimes that frightened him. But stranger things had happened in the world, and he was sure of what he felt. He couldn’t imagine life without her.

  Kason looked at the clock; it was a quarter past five. They had dinner reservations for 6:30, so he got up to take a shower. Before he left the bedroom, he went around and blew out the candles, leaving the sweet scent of smoke in his wake.

  Kason went into the bathroom and started the shower. After he stepped into the spray of water, he felt a rush of cool air and hands around his stomach. He turned to see Briella standing there, naked.

  “You left me alone in bed,” Briella whimpered.

  “You looked so peaceful sleeping there. I was going to wake you up when I got out of the shower.”

  “I’m awake now!”

  “And so beautiful,” he whispered and kissed her nose.

  “Want to play?” she asked, reaching down to feel the part of him that had so recently been inside her.

  “Oh, yes. But not right now. We need to get ready for dinner,” Kason said, and stepped away from the water to put Briella under it. She soaked her body and her hair, and stepped to the side so that they could share the water.

  Kason put some shampoo in his hands and turned Briella around. He spread the shampoo throughout her long hair and massaged her scalp. As his hands caressed her head, Briella moaned and swayed as her body grew weak. There was just something about his hands massaging her head, the slippery soap, the warmth of the water…it all made her want to fall asleep standing up.

  He grabbed her around the waist to keep her from falling, then moved her back into the spray to rinse her hair. Then Kason squeezed shower gel onto the body sponge and went to work on Briella’s body. He gently washed every inch of her skin, taking special time on the parts that he knew would bring the most pleasure, then rinsed her off. Briella then took the soap and gave him a sweet smile.

  “Your turn,” she said.

  When she was done with his body and he was clean as a whistle, they turned the water off. He stepped out of the shower stall, grabbed a fluffy towel, and dried Briella off from head to toe.

  “You really know how to pamper a girl, don’t you?” Briella asked, half asleep. “You’ve got me so relaxed, I don’t know if I can go out.”

  “I promise to always treat you like a princess, darling. I will cherish you in every way,” Kason said, as he wrapped the towel around her back and used it to pull Briella close to him. He bent his head and kissed her. At first, it was a very innocent kiss, one that slowly turned deep and passionate.

  Briella broke the kiss, and turned to walk away. “If we keep this up, we will never go to dinner.”

  “We will never leave the house,” he agreed.

  “You sure know how to wake a girl up! Briella laughed as she walked back into the bedroom and got dressed.

  When the four got to the restaurant, they were led to a table next to a window overlooking the lake. The view was so spectacular that they just stood and looked for a moment, as the indulgent waiter smiled at their expressions of wonder. As they sat down, Mila noticed there were five plates set instead of four. “Are we expecting someone else?” she asked.

  “You think you can come to town and not have dinner with me?” came a familiar voice. Briella jumped out of her chair and ran to her mother. She threw her arms around her so hard that she almost knocked her to the floor. “Mom! I am so happy to see you. How did you know we were going to be eating here tonight?”

  “Kason invited me a few days ago. Such a sweet young man, including his girlfriend’s mother in his plans the first night she gets here,” Charlee said, as she lightly squeezed Kason’s chin.

  Charlee reached over to Mila and gave her a hug. “Been staying out of trouble?”

  “You know I have! But the real question is, have you?” “Never!” Charlee said, and laughed and took her seat.

  Briella looked over at Kason. When his eyes met hers, she mouthed ‘Thank you’ to him, and he winked back and grabbed her hand. Then the waiter came to take their order, and it was nonstop talking between all five of them for the next hour.

  The next day, Briella and Mila got up and prepared a huge Sunday brunch. Kason explained that friends would be coming in and out all day, so they made plenty of food for everyone. “Our friends want to see the women who have stolen our hearts,” Dexter teased them.

  Charlee was the first to show up, ready to spend the day with them. They packed up all the food and headed to the lake. Kason and Dexter had set up a bunch of tables and chairs, and put a sign up in the front drive, telling all of the visitors to come down to the beach.

  Briella was heading to the house to get more ice when she was met by Parker, who was walking towards the lake. She took a deep breath. Now was as good a time as any to make thin
gs abundantly clear to this woman.

  “Oh, Parker. I’m glad you’re here. I wanted to talk to you,” Briella said, in the nicest voice possible.

  “What do you want? I was just headed to the lake,” Parker grumbled.

  “Well, I need to talk about your advances towards Kason.”

  Parker glared at Briella and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Go on.”

  “I know about everything, and I don’t appreciate it. It’s time you understood that you work for him, and that’s it. He has no romantic feelings toward you whatsoever, and if you can’t get that through your head, then you won’t be working for him much longer,” Briella said as calmly as she could.

  Parker threw her head back and laughed as though she didn’t have a care in the world. “You know what, you’re not my boss. You don’t tell me what to do, and you sure as hell don’t tell me when I’m fired.”

  “I’m trying to be nice about this…”

  “No, you’re not. You’re trying to muscle in where you don’t belong. You watch, I’ll be the one with Kason in the end,” Parker said.

  Briella’s mouth dropped open. “What did you say?”

  Parker smirked. “Hard of hearing, city girl?”

  Before Briella could say another word, Parker walked away, headed for the lake.

  Dexter walked out of the house at that point, looking upset. “I heard everything, Briella,”

  Briella stared at him. “I don’t know what to say.”

  “There is something wrong with that girl. I’m going to talk to Kason. He needs to get rid of her,” he said, then hurried toward the lake.

  “Dexter…”

  “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her in the meantime,” he called back to her. Briella waved, watched him hustle away, and went into the house to get the ice.

  When Briella got back to the beach, she saw that Parker was sitting near Kason at one of the tables. She chose not to speak to her or approach her, but rather to ignore her, at least for now. A few of Kason’s friends helped Briella drain the melted ice from the coolers and replace it with fresh ice. She talked with them for a while and thanked them for their help. Afterwards, she walked over to the table where Kason was.
