31 Days of Winter
replied with a shake
of the head as he held my gaze, and I felt his look heating me up. ‘When I
heard your voice answer your phone that day, I had fantasies about you. When I
saw you coming out of that airport gate in that thin emerald blouse, that
matched your stunning eyes, and I saw your nipples were erect my cock hurt I
wanted you so badly. I still want you so badly Ellie, I want to fuck you until
you scream at me to stop, to dig your nails into my backside as you hold on for
dear life while I empty myself into you over and over. I want all of your
orgasms to be mine and I want to bury my face between your legs and taste you
for hours. Honest enough for you?’ he asked with a raised eyebrow and I nodded
and whimpered as he tried to catch his breath. The look in his eyes as he bore
into mine nearly made me combust, but he suddenly broke eye contact and looked
down at the floor and put his hands palm down on the island opposite mine.
‘I’ve never had an instant reaction to someone like this before,’ he added
quietly.
    ‘You really mean that?’ I whispered as my chest
heaved and I imagined threading my fingers through his hair, drawing his tongue
further into my sex.
    ‘Yes,’ he growled in an even lower sexier tone than
normal.
    ‘I feel the same way too, Dan,’ I reached my hand
out across the granite worktop, towards his fingers, and he quickly pulled them
away.
    ‘That’s the problem, Ellie. I know that you want
me, I knew it as soon as I spoke to you on the phone, the way you went all
breathless and stammered, but I can’t do anything about it. We just can’t be
together that way.’
    ‘You’re worried about your job? Surely your boss
would understand if he’s your best friend?’ The tension simmering between us
was reaching unbearable levels.
    ‘He’d think it was wrong if I took it further, it
would cause him a lot of hurt.’
    ‘You’re bisexual and he’s your lover?’ I gasped.
    ‘No,’ he shot back firmly, and finally looked back
at me and let out a small chuckle, then the serious look came over his face
again. ‘It’s personal, I really don’t want to have to share my reasons, I’m
just explaining why I’m blowing so hot and cold with you, it’s nothing you’ve
done, you’re so sweet and honest and ….’ He blew out a big sigh and covered his
face with his hands.
    ‘You told me earlier that I was brave for following
my heart, Dan. If you really want me that badly, as badly as I want you, then
take a chance, take me .’
    ‘Christ, Ellie,’ he spat as he looked at me with a
mixture of hot carnal lust and pure despair. ‘You make it sound so damn simple
and it’s not, it’s not simple at all.’
    ‘I don’t understand. We’re two consenting adults,
no one else needs to know, and you’re single too, what’s the problem?’ I looked
at him confused. He took a few quick steps back and I watched as he
straightened up and those shutters started coming down again.
    ‘It’s not going to happen and I’m very sorry that
I’ve given you the impression that it might, that was wrong of me. We need to
discuss how we’re going to manage to get along for the next twenty-seven days
given we’ve laid our cards on the table and it’s going to be awkward.’
    ‘Then I’d better not see you at all if that’s the
way it’s going to be,’ I snapped and saw a look of hurt cross his face.
    ‘Fine,’ he snapped back. ‘We communicate by phone
and I’ll only come up here if you need me.’
    ‘Don’t worry I packed my vibrator, I won’t need you, Dan,’ I bit, with a little more malice than I’d intended. I was feeling
really hurt, rejected by two guys in one week was more than my fragile ego could
handle at the moment.
    ‘Don’t be so damn childish,’ his voice boomed out.
    ‘Sorry, I thought it was one of the things you
actually liked about me.’ I hopped down off my stool and made a beeline for the
stairs and he grabbed my arm.
    ‘Don’t walk away like that, we
