Brett's Little Headaches Page 3


  “Damn, shoulda got her some chocolate and maybe some dessert for the boys.” It was too late now though, and I was sure there were no luxury chocolatiers in this neighborhood. I have to work on getting her out of here, but I’m gonna need more info before I make that move.

  Some women take that independent shit too far and fuck shit up for no good reason. I’m hoping she’s not one of those, because I would hate for us to butt heads over something this important so early in our relationship.

  She answered the door looking all flustered and cute. Her hair was all over the place, but she'd obviously changed and was now wearing low-rise jeans and a cute camisole top, which my boy seemed to appreciate.

  But something told me she could be wearing a gunnysack and he would still stand up and take notice.

  "Come on in if you dare it's a madhouse in here." I satisfied myself with a quick kiss on her lips, which seemed to fluster her as much as the lip lock earlier had.

  I walked past her into the tiny apartment and saw the boys on the living room floor with a mountain of toys. They squealed when they saw me and ran over babbling at me a mile a minute.

  "What's up boys you being good for mommy?" I got down on the floor with them and prepared to be entertaining. Mom had given me some pointers on how to behave. As she’d put it ‘if you’re going to be a dad you have to start with the boys now’.

  "Uh huh." They lied their asses off as they showed me their toys, sometimes holding my face to keep my attention.

  She sat in a chair across from us, watching as I sat on the floor and played with building blocks. The truth is, it wasn't so bad; I would've tried for her sake, but I actually liked the little tykes.

  I felt relaxed and carefree, nothing at all like I expected, maybe this daddy thing wasn’t so hard after all. Who the fuck had I turned into in that park anyway?

  I was never interested in kids before, not mine or anyone else’s. At twenty-eight I figured I had a long ways to go before I started down that road.

  Now here I am seriously contemplating giving this woman and her sons my name and I hadn’t even known them twenty-four hours.

  "I ordered the pizza so it should be here any minute." At the word pizza the boys went crazy and started shouting their version of the word and the blocks were soon forgotten, as Laurie got up to set the table.

  "Come on boys let's go help mom."

  I had her show me where everything was, and me and my new pals set the table, while she watched with an indulgent smile on her face.

  "I should keep you around more often, you seem to get them to behave in ways I can't."

  "That's the idea." I stole a quick kiss in passing which made her blush prettily, but I didn't make a big deal out of it, just kept going.

  I planned on conditioning her to my touch. I know she was still a little skittish yet, but she had every right to be, I would’ve been disappointed if she wasn’t. But it was my job to put her at ease.

  Hopefully I can be patient long enough to let her get her bearings, but it might be close. I haven’t ever had a female tie me up in such knots before, so we were both treading on virgin territory.

  The pizza arrived and I helped her cut tiny pieces for the boys and get them set up in their booster seats. Again she watched me like a hawk as the boys proceeded to make a mess.

  I pretended not to notice and kept up a running conversation with her. I found out she wanted to go back to school full time, but was waiting until the boys were old enough for Pre K and she'd raised enough money to do it.

  She wasn't complaining about her life, but I learned by listening to her that the life of a single parent was tough.

  I didn't want to bring up the ex in front of the boys, but I was dying to know. The more I listened to her, the more I wanted to know about her life.

  She was smart and sassy, and so completely different from everything I was accustomed to. She was real, that’s what it was, that element that I had been trying to put my finger on.

  There aren’t many ‘real’ women in my life. More like leeches and rattlesnakes, always out for whatever they can get.

  I was growing tired and truth be known, jaded by the whole scene. My life so far had been gold diggers and opportunist. Even women who came from wealthy families were trying to land me because they wanted more.

  But it was what they were willing to do, the lengths they were willing to go to that had finally made me want to wash my hands of all of them.

  ***

  Pizza was a hit, if the amount of sauce all over their little faces was any measure, and I knew she didn't want to say anything, but I was pretty sure that it was bath time, so I took the initiative.

  I had no qualms about trying to ingratiate myself in her and her sons' lives. In the last half an hour or however long it had taken Chaos and Mayhem to fuck the whole kitchen up with pizza sauce, I’d fallen head over heals in love with all three of them.

  I didn’t even whimper at the lost of my freedom, didn’t stop to think about what the fuck I was getting myself into. As far as I’m concerned, I'd already made up my mind, and now all that was left to do, was to get her on board.

  "So how do we do this? Do we throw them in a pool or something until they're all cleaned up?"

  She looked at me like I was crazy and it was hard keeping the laughter inside, until she caught on that I was messing with her.

  “I’m sure they’d love that but there’s no pool.”

  “Fine then, why don’t you start on this mess and I’ll get them started in the tub. Or maybe I should just take them outside and hose them off.” I picked Garret up and held him away from me with his sauce covered everything.

  Of course if I did it to one I had to do it to the other to avoid a screaming match.

  We ended up sharing bath duty, which was pretty simple. She just put them in the tub with some toys and sat there talking to them while we watched, until it was time to wash their hair and their little bodies.

  I was the main attraction after that it seemed, each of them found a million things to show me, until they grew a little tired and fussy and it was time to take them out.

  Again she grew embarrassed by their behavior, and I wondered who the hell she'd been dealing with that she kept doing that shit.

  "Hey how about taking the boys for a spin in my truck? That always used to work on me and my brothers according to mom."

  I could see from her face that she was a little skeptical and I had to throttle back.

  What a dick; you just met her and her kids, invited yourself to her home, which now come to think of it was a minor miracle that she'd let me in, and now you wanted her to get into your vehicle with you at night. What an ass.

  I had a hunch and went with it. "You said your dad usually watched the boys, does he know I'm here?" She blushed and tried to hide behind her hair.

  "Smart baby, real smart." By now we were getting the boys into their pajamas and I was amazed at how right this shit felt, being here with them like this.

  "Give me your phone, was he the last number you called?" She nodded her head and looked at me skeptically. I pressed redial on the last number in the log and waited while it rang.

  A gruff voice came over the phone. "Well child of mine, I see you're still alive so the hottie from the park didn't kill you over pizza."

  "Uh, this is the hottie from the park." I thought she would fall through the floor at that.

  "Hey son how's it hanging? So you survived the tornadoes two huh!"

  "Looks like; listen I just suggested taking them for a spin before bedtime, but I think your daughter is thinking serial killer, so I thought maybe I'd call you and give you the particulars, this way she'd be more comfortable."

  "Give her the phone son." I passed the phone to the still embarrassed Laurie.

  "Hey dad thanks for embarrassing me." She wouldn’t even look at me, meanwhile my soon to be sons were trying to climb me.

  "Anytime kiddo, now tell the nice man to give you his ID."
I could hear him through the phone, so I reached into my back pocket, handed it over, and waited while she gave him the info.

  "Ho-ho-ho, well he doesn't have a record." He was clicking away on keys in the background and I remembered she’d said he was a cop.

  "If he doesn't have a record why do you have him in the system chief?" "Well now because your boy there is a multibillionaire and we have..."

  "He's a what?” She moved the phone from her ear to her chest and glared at me. “Get out of my house." She was furious and fuck if I knew why. The boys reacted to the sudden stress in her voice so I took the phone from her.

  "Thanks chief I'll take it from here, we good?" I accepted the other man's approval before hanging up the phone; next I turned to the boys.

  "You two stay here, mommy and I will be right back." I grabbed her arm and pulled her from their room. Pushing her back against the wall in the hallway, I looked down at her.

  "Explain."

  "What am I, a lost bet or something? Why else would a billionaire be slumming with a single mom and her kids?"

  Her face was like a storm cloud, but the thing that really got me was the hurt that was in her eyes. I took my time and got my words together so that I didn’t fuck this up.

  I’m not too much into rash movements, but as a businessman I know a good deal when I see one, and everything that I believe in told me this was one of those times.

  I just had to get past the first day and it should be a cinch, so here goes.

  "Do you remember what I told you in the ice cream parlor babe? It's your ass, I can't wait to get my hands, my cock, and anything else in it, on it, over it, along with some other body parts of yours."

  I pressed my hard cock into her, "You feel that? That feels like a lost bet...fuck me..." I became tongue tied and lost all train of thought because I'm not sure what happened just then.

  Maybe I pressed into her clit just right or something, but the hot little number was cumming on my cock. No joke.

  I pressed harder and watched in amazement as she shook and her breathing sped up while she made use of the hard cock that was pressing into her through her clothes.

  I wrapped one hand in her hair and pulled her hip forward with the other as I took her mouth in a deep tongue- thrusting kiss.

  I lifted her so that her legs wrapped around me as I sucked her tongue hard and ground my cock into her.

  My heart was doing cartwheels in my chest and I was pretty sure there was going to be a wet spot in the front of my jeans any minute now.

  My hand went down between us and I felt her heat just before I reached for my zipper. All I could think about was getting inside all that wet heat.

  Fuck, you can't take her here Brett, the boys... No sooner had I had the thought than they came toddling out of the room barraging me with their variation of 'what’re you doing?'

  I pressed my forehead against hers, "Fuck Laurie you just sealed your fate." I kissed her forehead and squeezed her hip before pulling away a little bit and letting her legs drop from around me.

  I couldn’t let her go all the way though, not just yet. So I kept her pinned to the wall.

  After I’d caught my breath and was sure that I could speak coherently I turned to the boys.

  "We're just playing a game boys. Say, how would you like to go for a ride in my tank?"

  "Yeah." They chorused together even though I knew they had no idea what I was talking about. I was just buying some time for their mother who was flushed and seemed to me like she was still having aftershocks.

  Fuck, if she goes off like that from over the clothes contact, what would she feel like wrapped around my cock?

  Better think of something else Cantone you're not in much better shape yourself. I had three sets of eyes on me. Two wide-eyed and curious, and the third, a little wide eyed but I think her curiosity stemmed from someplace else.

  “You good here baby?” I tapped her hip because she was still not saying anything, and that seemed to snap her out of it.

  “Yeah I’m fine.” She straightened her clothes and fixed her hair, which I don’t remember mussing, and I couldn’t resist one last peck.

  “I’ll be right back, make sure the boys are dressed warm enough okay.” I left her as she was rounding them up.

  I went downstairs to get their car seats situated, and to give myself a chance to cool down, before running back up to get the three of them.

  She was a little better, or I should say she no longer looked like she needed a good hard fuck, but there was no way I was going to get that picture out of my head anytime soon.

  "Let's go babe, we'll take the boys for a little ride before bedtime." She refused to look at me, her face was red, and she kept fidgeting and biting her lip.

  I didn't bother telling her there was no need to be embarrassed. I just got the boys strapped in while they babbled away at me.

  Then I lifted her tiny ass into my truck, and of course I rubbed my semi hard cock against her again. Maybe that had been a fluke back there, maybe she wasn't as responsive as her reaction suggested.

  She drew in a deep breath and I felt her body tremble. Fuck me she's for real. I couldn't help kissing her again right there out in the open.

  I barely restrained myself from going too far and thought to myself that at this rate I’d better set down the ground rules fast.

  I sat her in the passenger seat and stood between her thighs, making sure to keep that connection, while my mouth devoured hers. When the boys started chortling and clapping their hands I came back to my senses.

  "I can't wait to get inside you, don't make me wait too long." I whispered those incendiary words in her ear, before turning her around and buckling her in, then walking around to the driver's side.

  I did a little adjusting on my way around to the front of the truck and tried to get my breathing under control.

  She packed a serious punch in that little body of hers, and I was right. She tasted like strawberries and hot summer sin. Where the fuck had that come from?

  "Okay boys you ready?" I looked back at them after climbing behind the wheel. They babbled their versions of ready, and I took off slowly.

  I'd only planned a little trip around the block, but I felt so good all of a sudden, I headed for the lake area outside of town.

  It would mean at least an hour drive, but I think the boys would enjoy it, and it would give me more time with their mother.

  It didn't escape my notice that she hadn't said anything since our first kiss. I wasn’t sure if she was processing shit or thinking up ways to shoot me down. Good luck with that. There is no way I’m letting her get away from me now.

  Reaching over the console, I took her hand in mine, rubbing my thumb over her fingers. "Talk to me babe." I kept my voice low so as not to alert the boys, who were busy speaking their secret language to each other.

  At least that's what it sounded like they were doing. "Um..." She lifted her free hand and dropped it back in her lap, all the while biting into that bottom lip.

  "Laurie, word of warning. I'm barely hanging onto my control and only because of the boys, but you keep biting into your lip like that and I will take you."

  She released her lip and looked at me like she was afraid I was going to make good on my threat right then and there.

  "Not to worry babe, I said if the boys weren't here, but they are so you're safe, just don't do that anymore okay, it has a weird effect on my dick."

  I wanted to ask her if she reacted that way to all men, like maybe the sperm donor. The thought made me very...not happy. Fuck it.

  "Do you always react like that to stimuli?" Back to the lip biting again. "I don't know, I've only been with one guy and it was only once."

  "You..." I pulled off onto the side of the road and stared at her. "You've only had sex once in your life?"

  She nodded with her cheeks inflamed. What I was about to do would either scare the shit out of her or...I don't know what the fuck.

  "That's it, I
'm going to be the next and only other guy to have you. Do whatever you have to do to get that settled in your head. Today is the day you met the man you're going to spend the rest of your life with."

  I could see I’d blindsided her with that one, but I was surprising myself as well so that was okay. There was just something about her and the boys, the whole package. And I already had the dog, readymade family if you ask me.

  To think, that my first impression of her had been less than flattering. Spending time with her has shown me that she is a whole lot more than I’d given her credit for.

  She’s one of those females that make a man think of hearth and home. Of protecting his woman from the big bad world and keeping her safe.

  The boys were an added bonus, something I would never have thought in a million years that I would go for, another man’s kids.

  I’d wondered about stuff like that before. A man taking on another man’s family, and though I can’t say that it was my ideal situation, this one worked for me, she worked for me.

  She hadn’t said anything as yet to my bold statement but I could see her gearing up for it, and knowing her, I might have my work cut out for me.

  "We just met, what makes you think it will work? I have two kids remember? And besides, I'm nowhere near your league."

  "Babe what you’ve got is worth a helluva lot more than I could ever afford. Don't stress it, we don't have to rush into anything...no scratch that.

  I want you on a flat surface as soon as possible, but I'll give you time to see that I'm on the up and up. Not too much though, and I'm definitely not giving you that much time to think about the sex thing. That, we have got to get to like soon."

  I could already imagine it in my head. Her beneath me as I pounded away at her sweet body, damn.

  I can’t remember the last time a woman had tied me up in knots. In fact, I don’t think that shit had ever happened before in my life.

  "I just met you Brett, I'm not exactly in the habit of jumping into bed with guys I just met." I do love that little prim and proper thing she does whenever she thinks I’m stepping over the line.
