Chapter 6

That year Allisonmanaged to get out of her parent's New Year's Eve party by going to her office's party. To her surprise, Diana had turned down the invitation to join Allison and was going to Allison's parent's party with Chad. Apparently, they were still doing their on-again-off-again thing. While she would have liked to ring in the new year with Chad and Diana, she was pretty sure Roger would be there again, probably with Veronica, something she didn't feel up to facing at the moment.

The jealous girlfriend had clung to him for the rest of the night, keeping Allison from even saying goodbye to him. She didn't care so much, except she would have like to see if a friendship with Roger was possible. But having someone glare at her for an entire party wasn't exactly her idea of a good time. Being at someone else's party was new and different. Since she didn't have to host, she could just relax and have a good time with the women she worked with.

"So, who are you going to try to stand next to at midnight?" Clara asked excitedly.

Allison laughed. "I think as part of the HR team, I'm going to avoid any possible confusion over interpersonal relations between myself and other employees.

"Your loss," said the irrepressible blonde. Allison grinned at her, enjoying the thirty something's joy of romance and hope. Since hearing Roger's view on marriage, she was starting to wonder if she was young and na?ve, wanting romance along with everything else she had in her life. Not that Clara had found happily ever after, either, but at least she believed in it. "I can't decide, what should I look for, looks or wealth?"

"Chemistry," said Allison immediately, without thinking. The other woman's eyes got big.

"Now, that's a good answer, thank you, dear!"

When midnight came, Allison counted down the seconds with the rest of her co-workers before the room erupted in hugs, cheers, and a few kisses. She was absolutely delighted to see Clara was on the receiving end of one of those kisses with a good-looking guy Allison was pretty sure was in the accounting department. The look they exchanged after made her a little wistful.

What would it be like to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone she actually wanted to kiss? Chad and Diana were probably kissing right now. And Roger and Veronica.

Damn Todd.

"Hey, Allison, Happy New Year!" Before she knew it, Matt, one of the interns, had planted a sloppy wet kiss right on her lips before moving on to his next victim. Allison burst out laughing. She should have known to be careful what she wished for. This was so much more fun than her parent's parties.

The next dayshe was shocked and elated to find she'd received an email from Todd.

Happy New Year, Princess.

I'm coming home. I'd like to take you out for your birthday. I know it's on the 14th, but I won't be home until the 19th, so I was hoping maybe Saturday the 20th, we could go to dinner if you don't already have plans. Let me know.

Your Not-So-Lost Lover.

Twenty days. Twenty short days, probably the twenty longest days imaginable, but joy was shooting through her. He was coming home. He wanted to see her. And he'd remembered her birthday. That had to mean something, right?

She wrote him a long email, thanking him for the Christmas gift, telling him about her job and her classes last semester, and said she would love to see him on the twentieth. Then she spent the rest of the day checking her email to see if he'd responded. He didn't until later that night, and just a short note, saying he was very busy with work and couldn't wait to see her. The shortness of the email made her depressed. But he couldn't wait to see her. That part she treasured.

* * *

"Come on, Allison,"Diana said, moaning in exhaustion as she dragged her friend into yet another store. "Can't you just pick something already?"

It was the fifth store they'd been in that day. Allison was intent on getting the perfect dress for her birthday date with Todd. Of course, she had no idea where he was taking her, and when she'd emailed him to ask, he'd only responded it was a surprise but to look nice. The short responses she was getting back from her emails had kept her from writing him more and also worried her. Was he regretting his invitation? Had he met someone else in the short time since he'd emailed her?

"No, I can't just pick something," Allison said, worrying her lower lip between her teeth. "It has to be something amazing, something that screams class and fuck me at the same time."

"Yeah, that sounds really easy to find," Diana said, but her voice didn't have any heat. Being the good friend she was, she started looking through some of the other racks. Both picked out a few options, although Allison wasn't really excited about trying on any of the ones she had found so far. They were just the best of a bad lot. Diana made an excited noise from several racks away and waved her hand at Allison.

The dress was gorgeous—perfect. Made out of navy chiffon with a thin band of satin that made up the straps and went under the breasts, which would emphasize her bust line, it had a skirt made up of layers of chiffon which would flow as she walked and made it look shorter than its mid-thigh length.

"Try it on," Diana demanded, grinning.

"No problem."

It was the first one she put on, practically quivering with hope in the dressing room. Yes, yes, YES! The dress fit perfectly. The sober navy blue kept it classy. The sweetheart neckline and satin snugly encasing her breasts would be the first thing any man would see, followed by the ever-moving fabric of the skirt. When she walked, the chiffon was so light and fluffy, it moved with her, giving tantalizing glimpses of her winter-creamy thighs. When she spun, the skirt flared out, and her legs were visible almost up to the point of showing panties.

Class, seduction, sex—the was the perfect dress. Easily accessible for Todd's hands and mouth. The layers of the skirt would frustrate and tease him as they floated. She imagined them fucking, standing against a wall somewhere as her skirt rippled and flared around them. So hot.

"This is it." Grinning in the mirror, she twirled again for her friend, and Diana applauded.

"Hallelujah," she said, teasingly pretending she was too exhausted to move after the long day of shopping. But Allison could tell from Diana's approving and happy expression, she was happy for Allison.

When the phonerang the morning of her birthday, with a phone number she didn't recognize, Allison picked it up immediately, even though the ringing had woken her. Hoping, but not expecting, she was rewarded with the deep, rich rumble of Todd's voice.

"Happy Birthday, Princess."

"Thank you," she said softly, feeling suddenly and unaccountably shy, a little anxious, and scared. She hugged her pillow to her belly, rolling onto her back as she held the phone to her ear. In a way, she felt like a teenager again, getting her first phone call from a boy. So silly, but she liked the fluttery feeling in her stomach.

"Sorry, I can't be there to help celebrate."

"I'm really looking forward to celebrating with you," she said. "Tonight, I'm just doing a boring thing with my parents."

"Ah, no friends to take you out?"

"That's tomorrow," she said.

"And the guy you told me about? Will he be there tonight or tomorrow?"

Allison grinned. It was obvious Todd didn't like the idea of her being with someone else, and that knowledge filled her to the brim with happiness. He was jealous, and she liked it.

"Neither. I broke up with him before Christmas."

The silence made her a little nervous. Had she misread the situation? Had he preferred her with someone else, so it would be obvious there was no emotional attachment? Not that she was sure she could fake not being emotionally attached to him.

"Good girl," he said finally, his voice low. Hearing that made her shiver with pleasure. Yes, she wanted to be his good girl—his and only his. "Would you like a birthday surprise from me, Princess?"

"Yes," she said, even though she had no idea what he meant.

"Go get the toys I sent you for Christmas."

Hot lust surged through her. The sexy purr in Todd's voice had already been turning her on, and now, she was completely awake and ready to go. If only he was here to take advantage, but since he wasn't, she'd take whatever it was he wanted to do to her. She'd always scoffed at the idea of phone sex or cybersex, but that was before she'd fallen in love with a man who was on the other side of the world.

"Okay, I have them."

"What are you wearing?"

"Nothing, I just woke up."

More silence. It occurred to Allison, the silences on Todd's end might be because he was getting himself under control—emotionally when she told him she had broken up with Roger, and physically, now that he knew she was bare-ass naked. She grinned. Nice to know she affected him as much as he affected her.

"That's hot, Princess. Do you always sleep naked?"

"Ever since moving out of my parents," she said, her voice taking on its own sexy purr. "What are you wearing?"

"Boxers. I'm just getting in bed."

"Well, I hope whatever we're about to do is going to give you pleasant dreams."

"The best." She could almost see his grin. "Now, Princess, I want you to put me on speakerphone and lay me down next to your head." She did so, her body already humming with anticipation.

"Okay."

"Good. You're only allowed to touch yourself in exactly the way I tell you." Allison's pussy clenched. "Move as I talk. I want you to put the index finger of your right hand on your collarbone and the index finger of your left hand on your belly button, and move them both toward your breasts, stroking your skin."

Her breathing was already picking up.

"Cup your breasts, squeeze them gently." Allison moaned softly as she caressed herself at his orders, the fact he was in her ear, telling her what to do, making the experience that much more pleasurable. "Squeeze them, and again, a little harder. Does that feel good, baby?"

"Oh yes, it feels so good, Todd."

"Now pinch your nipples, lightly, then harder, keep squeezing your breasts… Oh, your moans are getting me so hot, baby." Hearing him admit to his own arousal made her moan even louder. Breathing heavily, she clenched her teeth as her fingers closed on her nipples tighter than she would have done on her own. "Get the nipple suckers I sent you and put them over your nipples, then pump the ball three times."

Allison gasped as her nipples were pulled into the cups.

"How does it feel, Princess? Talk to me."

"Oh… it hurts a little. It feels like you're pinching them. I'm getting so wet, Todd. Please let me touch myself."

"Not yet, baby, I know you like the pain. Squeeze the ball again."

Allison moaned as she followed his direction, her nipples tingling as the air within the suction cups dwindled.

"Ohhh, Todd, it hurts."

"One more time, baby," he crooned, pushing her limits, as always. She cried out, squeezing her thighs together as her pussy creamed. Her breath hissed out as she adjusted. There was so little vacuum left in the suction cups, her nipples were distorted and almost touched the plastic of the cups. Pain speared through her body and went straight to her pussy.

"Oh, fuck… that hurts, Todd… Please…" She was panting as she begged.

"Are you wet, baby? Do you want to touch yourself?"

"Yes, please, Todd."

"Spread your legs wide."

She groaned as the pressure her thighs had put on her clit was taken away. Her nipples were throbbing in time with the clenching pulses of her pussy.

"Now, take the phone and put it down by your pussy, I want you to stroke and play with it but don't touch your clit. I want to hear how wet you are."

Whimpering with the need to truly touch herself, Allison held the phone in her left hand as she put it by her pussy, the cool plastic touching her inner thigh. Now that she was focused, she could hear the sloppy sounds her pussy made as she twirled her finger in her wet folds. Not touching her clit was killing her, but she did it because that's what he'd told her to do, and she didn't want to disappoint him.

She was so aroused, she almost missed him speaking again.

"Fuck, Allison, you sound so wet and hot." Hearing him say her name, instead of calling her Princess, just made her hornier. "Take your finger out of your pussy."

"Todd, please!"

"Do it."

Almost in tears with frustration, she followed his order.

"Suck your juices off of your fingers and be loud about it." As she obeyed, he groaned, so at least she had that satisfaction. "Fuck, baby, I can practically taste your sweet body." If she'd been standing, her knees would have buckled.

"Todd, I need to cum," she begged when she was done with her fingers.

"It's okay, Princess, it'll feel better soon… Take the probe and suck it, I want to hear your mouth working over it." Allison pressed the rippled length into her mouth, sucking loudly, so he could hear her slurping over the length of it. "Good girl." Those two words sent little shivers of happiness through her again.

"Cover it with lube and get it nice and slick, then get on your hands and knees."

The movement caused her breasts to bounce, and she cried out as a flash of pain ran through her nipples, electricity running through her clit in response.

"Oh, Todd! My nipples!"

"Shhh, baby, you're about to have more to worry about. I hope you've been playing with your toys, or this is going to hurt. I want you to get that pretty ass of yours high in the air and shove the probe in, all at once."

She let out a small cry as she pressed the vibrator quickly and deeply into her, filling her brutally and stretching her wonderfully. It never even occurred to her not to do exactly as he said. Now, she was partially upright, pussy juices dripping down her inner thighs.

"It's in… Oh, Todd… please…"

"Good, now turn it on, all the way, and lie on your back."

The buzzing filled her ass, making it clench in delight as she carefully laid back on the bed.

"Todd, please… oh, please, you have to let me cum."

"You like having things in your ass, don't you? You're such a dirty girl."

"Oh God, yes." She moaned as her insides rippled, a shiver going through her. "Todd, I'm going to cum soon."

"No, you're not. Spread your legs again as wide as you can. Are you spread, sweetheart?"

"Yes, so spread open… oh, Todd, I'm spread so wide for you…"

"Slap your pussy." His voice was utterly confident and commanding. Her hand was in the air and down on the wet folds of her pussy before she'd even registered his words. She cried out in surprise and pain, her back arching and thrusting her tortured nipples upward. As her breasts jiggled, she cried out again. The toy in her ass buzzed, increasing the mix of sensations.

"Again. Count to ten while you spank yourself."

Moaning and whimpering, she spanked her own pussy, and the sensitive folds burned.

"One… oh… Two… Three… Fuck… oh, Todd… Four… Five…"

"Harder, Allison, I want to be able to hear it."

It stung as she slapped herself, much harder than she had before, but she didn't stop or lessen the strength.

"Oh, Todd! Six… Seven... Eight... Fuck… Nine..."

"Cum for me, Princess."

"Todd! Oh, Todd!" Her hand came down for the tenth slap, hard on her clit, and thrashing as the little bud swelled, she came, her abused pussy clenching and throbbing around nothing as she writhed, bucking against the palm of the hand that had just been used to punish herself.

"Good girl."

She flushed with pleasure. "Oh, Todd…"

"Oh, we're not done, Princess."

Allison moaned again. What more could he do to her?

"Take the suction cups off your nipples, Princess."

Oh, no. She'd almost forgotten about those because her nipples had started to become a little numb. Experience told her this was going to hurt—a lot.

Pressing the button that released the vacuum and let air back into the cups, she held her lips closed over a shriek of pain as blood rushed back into the tormented nubs.

"Don't worry baby, the pain won't last," he said soothingly. "Rub your nipples for me, gently. You're such a good girl, Allison. I'm going to make you feel so good again for your birthday." He kept murmuring to her, praising her as she rubbed her nipples. The pain was dulling to an aching burn, and she moaned a little as her fingers started to arouse her again, the vibrating in her anus keeping her on edge.

"That's it, Princess, it's starting to feel good again, isn't it?"

"Ooooh, yes…"

"Okay, Princess. Now, get your vibrator." Eagerly she pulled out the vibrator and told him she had it. "Slide it into that pretty pink pussy and turn it on low…"

She moaned as it teased her sensuously, moving slowly inside her, the clit teaser buzzing gently against her swollen bud.

"Turn it up a level and start working it in and out of that pretty pussy… I don't want you cumming too quickly."

Her body was rousing again for him as she worked herself with the vibrator, her ass clenching around the toy inside it, her reddened nipples still so sensitive on her chest.

"Hold it in you and put it on pulse, then turn the clit part all the way up." Allison moaned her excitement as heat began to rise between her legs. "Now, turn up the beads." She began to moan louder as the little beads traveled throughout her pussy, making her tingle and burn with ecstasy that mounted higher and higher.

"What do you want, Allison?"

"Fuck me! I want you to fuck me."

"I am fucking you, Allison, I'm fucking you with those toys. I'm in your ass, I'm in your cunt… I'm going to keep fucking you for as long as I want."

Allison cried out, her orgasm cresting at his raw and abrasive words.

"Cum, Allison. Cum for me, my dirty little girl," he whispered fiercely in her ear.

As soon as he said the words, she began a high-pitched whine as an intense orgasm crashed over her, pounding through her body like high tide on a beach.

"Oh, Todd!" She screamed his name, again and again, her body undulating on the bed, riding out the exquisite ecstasy he'd led her to.

Thrashing on the bed, she could hear him breathing heavily in her ear through the haze of her heights of passion. The vibrator began to buzz painfully inside her, her pussy flesh oversensitive and tingling.

"Todd… please, can I stop… I need to stop… it hurts…"

"Just a little longer, Princess…" He was groaning, and she realized he must be cumming as the vibrations pushed her to another orgasm. Screaming as the intense feelings washed over her, she listened to him moan her name as he came with her while far across the ocean. Every part of her body shuddered uncontrollably as she rode out the intense rapture.

"Take the vibrator out, Princess," Todd said, his voice a little hoarse as he got himself back under control. Allison moaned and sighed in relief as she obeyed. "And the probe."

Empty now, her body relaxed, feeling wonderfully satiated.

"Oh, Todd… that was the best birthday wake-up call I've ever gotten," she said, laughing a little.

"I'm glad to oblige," he replied, and she could hear the self-satisfied grin in his voice. "I have to go now, Princess."

"You do?"

"Yes, it's getting rather late here, but I have a feeling I'm going to have some fucking fantastic dreams tonight." Allison giggled, feeling giddy, even though she was disappointed he couldn't talk longer. "Take care, Princess. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon."

"Me, too," she said sincerely. "I can't wait."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Hanging up was hard, but she couldn't stay too down. Todd had called on her birthday, staying up to talk with her, to satisfy her. He was going to be back next week, and not only that, he wanted to see her. Life was ridiculously good right now.
