Kacie's Surrender (Homeward Bound Book 1) Page 3

  He moved his hand lower and cupped my sex. My back arched off the tub and into his hand. Before I could reject he slide his finger inside.

  "So wet Kacie for me" he said out of breathe. He began moving his finger and I felt like I would come just with the touch of his fingers. Working my core to the fullest.

  "Nathannnn"I moaned on the verge of coming. All of a sudden water was in my mouth and I woke up gasping for air looking around. It was just a damn dream, one that felt so real. Even in my dreams Nathan could make me feel so good. I couldn't get out of the tub fast enough. I couldn't get him off my mind. I decided to start looking for some designs so I could get things ready for Nathan. I heard buzzing and started looking for my phone it was a number I didn't have in my contacts. I started not to answer but did anyway.

  "Hello, this is Ms.Douglas"

  "Kacie" I froze, how did he get my number I looked at my phone again to make sure someone was really there and I wasn't still dreaming.

  "Hello Kacie are you there"

  "Um....yes how can I help you Mr. Wright"

  "I called to see if we were still on for dinner"

  "Shoot I forgot about it I was just now looking for some designs for you I'm sorry I’ll have to reschedule"

  "Its fine, can I bring you dinner and go over everything together"

  "Look Mr. Wright I can’t"

  "Kacie we are just eating and going over the designs nothing more nothing less" That’s the thing I wanted more I would always want more when it came to him I don't think I could handle us being along. But at least I could get to be with him even if it’s not for real.

  "Sure, that’s fine I’ll look some things up and have them printed and ready when you get here"

  "Ok I’ll bring the food see you in an about an hour or so"

  "Ok" Once we got off the phone I realized he didn't know where I was staying. But I guess if he found my number it wouldn't surprise me that he knew where I was staying. After all it was a small town so I'm sure word got out that I was back. That’s what I was worried about my past coming back on me.

  I decided to get dressed but I had no clue what to wear. It’s not like I was going on a date but still we're talking about Nathan, someone I had a crush on ten years ago. Thinking back to then I realize I was kidding myself thinking I could impress him, if it didn't work then it wouldn't work now. I chose to wear pj shorts and a cami, nothing fancy. By the time I finished there was a knock at the door. My heart skipped a beat, I wasn't ready for this. I took a breather and headed to the door.

  ****

  I left my office early, which I never did before but after I spoke to Kacie it was hard to get her off my mind. I met up with Bryce to clear my head and distract me from heading straight to Kacie.

  "So, what’s the plan for the weekend"

  "I don't know, I'm meeting up with Kacie tonight" he looked at me with a rise eye from behind his desk. He has his own contraction company. Bryce’s father died after meeting him just barley five years ago. He reached out to find Bryce because he was dying from cancer. He had no other children and he wanted his company ran by his son to keep the family name going.

  I knew from the look on his face that he wanted to say something but didn't know how to approach it. Ever since I started looking for Kacie I’ve become obsessed with her. So any time anything was said good or bad I was on edge and Bryce knew it.

  "Say what you have to say"

  "Nothing just how do you think this plan of yours is going to play out what if she has a man" now that was something I didn't think about what if she had a man. If she did it wouldn't last long. That never crossed my mind, not like Kacie couldn’t get a man. Or that I thought she would be single after all these years but a man could hope right. Kacie was mine and nothing was going to stop me from having her.

  "If she do it won’t last for long"

  "Nathan you can’t be serious"

  "Dead" we stared at each other for some time before I broke the silence. "Look I know what I'm doing"

  "Do you, because from the looks of things you don't , what happen to the bachelor no comment Nathan"

  "Gone"

  "Yea I can agree with that your losing your mind behind Kacie don't get me wrong I have nothing against her at all I'm saying is that you need to realize she’s not the girl who was picked on ten years ago a lot has changed since then"

  "You don't thing I know that, I know nothing is the same but I have to try"

  "Ok man if you feel that way you know I have your back"

  "Good, I’ll let you get back to it"

  "Yea ok and why are you off so early this is a new"

  "I told you I plan to see Kacie later"

  "You must be serious to leave work at this hour"

  "Very" and with that I was gone. I needed to go home and change and then grab something to eat. I thought that seeing Bryce would clear my mind but it only pissed me off more. I get what he was saying but I wasn't trying to hear that. My mind was made up I wanted Kacie nothing else mattered.

  I changed and picked up some food. I didn't know what she liked so I got some of everything from this restaurant not too far from the hotel she was staying at. No I’m not a stalker I just had to keep tabs on what’s mines. It took me about an hour to get to the hotel she was staying at. There was no where Kacie could go that I wouldn't find her.

  I didn't know what to expect once I got to Kacie’s door. It’s not like she was making this easy for me. But that just made me want her more. I was use to getting what I wanted and she was making it hard for me. But I loved every minute of the chase everything would be worth it in the end. I knocked on the door and waited a minute before she opened it. The wind was knocked right out of me, she was stunning. She wasn't even dressed up no makeup just her natural beauty. I scanned her whole body and once I seen her Carmel legs my pants grew tighter. I just hope she didn't look down because I'm pretty sure she would be in for the shock of her life.

  "Mr. Wright"

  "Kacie"

  "Come in" I really didn't need to see her designs it was just a way to get to be alone with her. She seemed nerves like this was our first time meeting.

  "Um, I’ll go get some plates you can sit in the living room everything is set up" she disappeared in the small kitchen she had in the hotel. I walked to the sofa and set down next to the area she had set up. Just looking at what she already had up, she really was good at this. I mean I seen her work but this was amazing. It’s like she put her heart into it, which is what I wanted.

  "Here you go Mr. Wright"

  "Kacie you know you don't have to call me that Nathan would be fine we're past formality don't you think"

  "Your a client that’s how I talk to all my clients so get use to it Mr. Wright" when she referred to me as a client that pissed me off. Hearing that she thought about me just as a client, had me feeling some type of way. But I’ll let it go for now, I’ll have her saying my name in no time.

  We began to eat and she was quite, I really didn't like the fact that she acted like she had no clue who I was.

  "So Kacie what made you want to design homes"

  "I don't know I just love designing and bring people’s dreams to life, I'm hoping one day I’ll design my own home" she just didn't know that she would get her wish sooner than she was expecting. But of course I would never tell her that.

  "Well I love your designs and your work you’re really good at what you do"

  "Thanks" At that moment her phone buzzed. It said Jeff; to say I was pissed was an understatement. I know this can’t be the ass she’s pinning for. I couldn’t show my ass just yet. So I waited to see if she would answer the phone.

  "Excuse me Mr. Wright I have to take this" I didn't respond, but I guess she was going to take the call anyway.

  "Hello hey honey" Honey, she was smiling big something she haven't done once while I was here. I wanted to snatch that phone and hang it up, whoever this Jeff was I would find out. "Jeff your crazy I miss you so much
I can’t wait to get back home" OK this was starting to piss me off even more the way she was acting on the phone with this Jeff person. She continued her conversation with Jeff and sat back down.

  "I’m sorry about that I had to take that call"

  "Who is Jeff" it came out harder than I expected it to but at this point I didn't care.

  "Time out, who the hell are you to be questioning who I talk to is none of your business I don't have to explain anything to you, you came here for one thing and one thing only if there’s a problem you can leave"

  "Your right its none of my business I’m sorry" Just because you say it’s none of my business don't mean it’s not. I’m determined to find out who Jeff was. But for now I would allow you to have this "Ok can we get back to looking at the designs" I clearly didn't care about it my mind was more on finding out who Jeff was.

  "Hello" I heard Kacie say bringing me back to the now. I don't know what she said." Did you even hear me"

  "No, what did you say"

  "I was asking you what did you think, but clearly your mind is elsewhere"

  "I love everything you have" I was trying to sound like I knew what she was talking about but the look she gave me told me she seen right through that lie.

  "Look Mr. Wright it’s getting late I think........ Before she could tell me to leave I crushed my mouth over hers and swallowed the rest her words. She tensed up and I could tell she was fighting it, but I was determined to have her. After about five seconds she relaxed and kissed me back. I felt her body relax and she moaned that was my undoing. This wasn't what I had in mind but the moment I did it was all over. The cherry smelled that she wore wasn't expensive but it was made for her, the kiss itself sent tingles through my body. It was like something I never experienced before, now I’ve had my share of women but nothing compared to Kacie. It was something about Kacie that made her stand out.

  Now that I have had a taste of her I didn't want to be without her. I felt her body tense up again and she pulled back and looked into my eyes. The shock and the need was still there, but quickly turned out of nowhere she switched to pissed and slapped the hell out of me. The sting from the slap pissed me off but the look on her face had me thinking about what just happen. Maybe that wasn't the best way to win her over.

  "Don't you ever touch me; it’s time for you to leave"

  "Kacie I......

  "Now Nathan out" She said through gritted teeth. I've had my share of kisses but never have I gotten that kind of reaction. Most women wanted to bed me right away, but not Kacie she was different. I was going to say something but thought better of it I already crossed the line for one night. I headed to the door and let myself out. Damn I just hope she didn't try to run because I’ll hunt her down no matter where she went.

  The drive home was in a blare, thoughts of Kacie running though my mind. I couldn't control myself around her. Something pulled me to her and I wanted to protect her with everything I had. I’ve had my share of women but none have ever had me wanting to spend every second of every hour with them. Kacie was going to be harder to get but I refuse to live without her. Now that she was back I wasn't about to let her go. Only problem with that is getting Kacie to see that too.

  CHAPTER FOUR

  Once Nathan was gone I couldn't do anything but think about that kiss. After that kiss my body responded to him in ways no man has ever had me feeling before. I was more scared of my reaction to him that I panicked and slapped him. I wanted more of him and was willing to give him everything but then fear and my pass wouldn't allow me to cross that path with him. Not now or ever for that matter.

  He was just like the kids who were cruel to me growing up. And I refuse to allow that to happen to me again. Sleep didn't come easy that night I stayed up tossing and turning most of the night. But by the time I did sleep I was sexually frustrated and pissed at Nathan for leaving me like this.

  The next morning I woke up to the realization that I slapped Nathan, I knew for sure he wouldn't want me to do his house. I really wanted this contract but not like this. I called Jeff to let him know what happen and of course he didn't care about the contract he was mad about Nathan kissing me. He was fine with me heading back home; we could find other people was all he said. I knew Jeff really wanted this contract but of course I went and missed things up.

  Why couldn't I just accept the kiss and move on. Just thinking about that kiss sent a shock wave down to my girly parts, the parts I keep and have kept hidden from men. Nathan's face came into view and threw my body in over drive. At that moment my phone rang, "saved by the bell" I thought looking at the screen, my breathe caught in my throat as I read

  "Wright Enterprise" on my screen.

  Oh my gosh I knew he would fire me, I just hope he didn't press charges. I thought about not answering the phone but I was never a quitter, if he was calling to fire me then so be it, I’ll find other contracts. Maybe not as big but I’d fine some. I pressed talk and cleared my throat.

  "This is Ms.Douglas" I said trying to sound confident to no avail.

  "Kacie" I couldn't believe Nathan himself called to fire me. The nerve of that ass whole I thought he paid people to do his work. I at least thought he would have his blonde bimbo Lena to do it, I really don't think she liked me. But then again why am I surprised Nathan could do his own dirty work.

  "Yes, may I ask whose calling" I knew it was him but hell I didn't want him to know how much I was affected by his call. I didn’t sound like my confident self.

  "Kacie you know it’s me, I was calling to see if you could meet me in my office in about an hour" So he wanted to do it in person well he could kiss my ass. I’m not walking in there to get trapped and have to be carried out of his office after I slapped him again.

  "Nathan I'm not coming down there if you want to fire me do it now over the phone, or do you want to embarrass me is that your end game" I went off I knew if I did have a chance it was gone now. But I didn’t care this town did nothing for me but cause pain. So the quicker I could leave the better.

  "Whoa hold on Kacie who's getting fired or better yet embarrassed"

  "Ok you can stop it now if you’re going to do it then do it, or are you a coward like you where back then and couldn't say nothing"

  "What are you talking about, that’s not why I want you to come to my office it’s to discuss the designs, since last night I didn't pay attention to good" ok now I really feel like an ass, so much has happen to me that I jump to defense mode right off the bat. Nobody ever stood up for me but my grandmother and she was gone now so I had to fend for myself.

  "Look Mr. Wright......

  "Its fine Kacie I deserve that Ill see you in an hour"

  With that the phone call ended, I couldn’t believe he hung up on me. I had every right to call back and curse him out. But now I really felt bad, I jump the gun thinking the worse I was no different than the kids who did it to me ten years ago. I guess I think the worse about everything even if it’s not. I needed Jeff and bad, I called him to let him know what happen.

  "Hello diva, are you headed home yet" he sang into the phone. That’s why I loved him he lived life to the fullest and I lived my life through him.

  "Umm yes and no"

  "Nah uh, what you mean yes and no when I talked to you not to long ago you made it perfectly clear you where headed home, what happen in the last hour that has you yes and no, do I need to come down there and slap the hell out of him too"

  "Clam down Madea, it’s not even like that"

  "Well then I need to know what’s going on then honey"

  I went through the whole conversation I had with Nathan. From me going off and calling him a coward. But by the time I was done the line was silent I actually thought he hung up, but when I looked at the screen he was still there. "Umm hello Jeff"

  "Oh honey I'm here I'm just shocked, damn baby girl you really put your foot in your mouth"

  "You don't have to be so mean about it"

  "Baby girl I'm not, this
aint the Kacie Douglas I know, what happen to you since you’ve been there"

  "I don't know maybe it’s just being here and everything that I’ve been through, these people haven't really been good to me"

  "I’m still in shock Kace, what were you thinking no matter what he did you never should have gone there"

  "I know Jeff that’s what makes it so bad because I went there what do think I should do"
