Chapter Forty-Four

Will

A s soon as Maya's car hit my driveway, I was at the front door yanking it open. The beautiful smile that she greeted me with was worth every part of the shitty day I'd had. There was never any trouble in my bar, yet earlier I'd had to stop a fight between two dickheads who couldn't take their booze. It had only been four in the afternoon, and they were supposed to be friends. Then to top it all off some prick had gone into the back of me at the traffic lights on the way home and tried to say it was because my brake lights weren't working. He had no case, as there was another car behind him with a dashcam that clearly showed my lights were working, and that the traffic lights were on red.

When I'd spoken to my insurance company they said he had no insurance, which meant that the police had to be involved. Thankfully, the number plate matched the car so at least they'd find him.

"Hey, handsome." Maya's arms went around my neck, and she leaned in to kiss me.

Instantly my rough edges were smoothed out, and I began to relax, forgetting everything except how good it felt to have her in my arms.

"Journey okay?" I asked when we finally pulled apart and I led her into the house.

"Yeah, the usual traffic on the M62, but once I'd got over the top it thinned out a bit." She gave me another quick peck on the lips. "Something smells good. What is it?"

"Curry. Maddy made it this afternoon when she got home from school?"

"She's a good girl." She dropped her bag. "Has she left for her party yet?"

I rolled my eyes. "No. She's up there with her friends, they should be down soon. I think Zak's picking them up."

"He's driving?" Maya asked, frowning.

"Driving there at least. I've already given her the talk about getting in a car with someone who's had a drink."

Maya laughed and patted my chest. "I'm sure he'll take care of her."

"Yeah, and don't I know it," I muttered.

"Will," Maya chastised.

"What?" I hissed, leading her into the lounge. "I was a teenage boy, Maya. I'm fully aware of what they'll be getting up to." I shuddered, wishing I had no awareness whatsoever

"And, as we've discussed before, Maddy will be careful." Red lips broke into a wry smile, and I immediately wanted to kiss her again.

"I actually want those girls to hurry up and go out." Looping my fingers in the belt loops of her jeans, I pulled her to me. "You're not in a hurry to eat are you?"

As I kissed her neck, Maya pressed her tits against my chest and moaned. I'd totally discovered her hot spot a couple of weeks back. She had others, but they were more accessible with her clothes off.

"I can wait," she whispered. "When do the girls go out?"

"Soon." My hand went to her arse, and I cupped it, giving it a squeeze. "Although not soon enough."

Then, as if they'd read our minds, three pairs of feet could be heard thundering down the stairs. Maya and I pulled apart, but as the girls raced through the door, giggling, I moved her in front of me to avoid an embarrassment.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I asked as the three of them pulled to a halt. "And where's Liv?"

"Zombie schoolgirls," Maddy replied and beamed at Maya. "It's her mum's birthday. Hi Maya." Maya smiled back as Maddy continued talking. "And before you say anything about seeing my knickers, I have running shorts on underneath."

"Thank the lord for that." I looked between the three girls. They all wore the same school uniform, the skirt of which just about covered their backsides, and their socks were pulled up over their knees. As for their faces, they were made up in grey and white paint, to look like zombies, apparently. Maddy and Emma were grinning at me, but Ana was far from happy.

"You not loving the costume, Ana?" I asked. "Your face is kind of giving it away, love." Maya nudged me and I was reminded how bony her elbows were. "She looks miserable," I aimed at her.

"I wanted to go as ghost," Ana grumbled. "In fact, I didn't even want to go at all."

Maddy plastered on a smile and forced out a small laugh. "You can't just go in a sheet, Ana." Maddy's back stiffened, and it was clear that things between her and Ana hadn't improved. It was also clear that Ana was still suffering with her parents separation. It had only been a week since we'd talked, but I'd hoped something I'd said had sunk in.

Emma looked at her phone and broke out a grin. "The boys are here."

"Deep joy." Ana sighed heavily, her comment causing Maddy to flinch.

"Okay, girls," I said, clearing my throat. "Have a great time."

Emma skipped out with Ana following slowly behind, while Maddy came to kiss me on my cheek.

"Bye, Dad."

"Bye and be safe." I hugged her to me. "Is Ana okay, by the way?"

She shrugged alongside a frustrated sigh. "I don't know. I thought she was, but she's hardly said a word all day."

Maya ran a hand down Maddy's arm. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

Maddy nodded, already aware that I'd told Maya all about Ana and her parents. "Maybe. For some reason she's mad at me for calling Dad, yet she was the one who said it was okay. And she's been vile to everyone today, even the lovely lady in the Co-Op on the way home."

"Just keep an eye on her," I advised, kissing Maddy on the forehead, "but don't let her spoil your night. And make sure you don't drink too much, or that Zak doesn't drink and drive."

I got the eye roll. "I won't, I won't, and he won't. Okay?"

" Okay ." She then turned on her stupidly high heels and followed her friends. "Christ, teenagers."

"Teenagers, who," Maya said pausing as the front door banged shut, "have now left us alone."

She grinned and I grabbed her, continuing from where we'd been interrupted.

Craving her had become something that I'd gotten used to over the last weeks. Every single minute of every single day, all I wanted was her. It only intensified when I wasn't with her or hadn't seen her for a couple of days. With our work and the distance from our homes, a couple of days was the very least amount of time we were apart, generally it was five and I hated every single one of them.

With our hands tugging at each other's clothes, it was obvious Maya felt the same way. She couldn't get me naked fast enough, her fingers ripping at the buttons on my shirt.

"I've missed you so much," she rasped as she stepped out of her jeans and kicked them to one side. "Please can we just make this hard and quick, because," she said, reaching behind to unfasten her bar, "I'm desperate for you and some curry."

I paused momentarily to watch her, sure that my eyes were like that bloody heart-eyed emoji that Maddy sent me whenever I told her she could have something or do something. Basically, when she was creeping.

"I can go as fast and as hard as you like, gorgeous." Not able to wait any longer, I yanked off the rest of my clothes, racing with Maya to see who got naked first. It was a tie and we both moved at the same time, grabbing and smashing our mouths together.

My heart thundered as I grabbed her hair, pulling her head back to give me better access to her neck. Running my nose up the smooth length of her sweet smelling skin, my dick throbbed with need for her. My blood boiled with want, and when Maya cupped my balls with her long, delicate fingers, I thought I was going to explode.

Walking her backwards to the sofa, I put my hand between her legs and ran a finger through her wet pussy.

"Will." My name from her pouty lips sounded like a prayer. A plea. A pledge. It was everything or anything she wanted it to be because I would do anything for her. Give her whatever she wanted.

As she lay down, Maya's legs instantly parted, and she hooked one heel on the sofa and left the other on the floor. She was glistening with desire and her hips were moving to their own rhythm and I was desperate to join them. The ache in my dick urged me forward, and while I'd have loved to take my time and feast on her, I couldn't wait. Dropping to my knees between Maya's legs, I grabbed her hips, lifted her up, and then pushed inside of her. There was no sweet talk, or preamble, I thrust in quick and hard, only pausing to relish the feel of her wrapped around me. Grabbing her knee for purchase, I pushed in and out like my life depended on it. A sheen of sweat was already forming on my chest from the effort and exertion of making sure my woman was satisfied.

Maya mewled and reached behind her to grab the cushion that her head was resting on. Her tits lifted, her hard nipples enticing me to suck them. I leaned down and took one in my mouth and pulled on it, grazing it with my teeth.

"Yes," Maya gasped, turning her face into her bicep. "So good."

" So, fucking good," I echoed, keeping up my tempo, not missing a single beat. "And you're so damn sexy. Never met anyone…" I paused as feel the start of my orgasm pulled at my balls, before groaning, "Like you."

"Yes, that's it, just there. Yes, Will." She pushed against the arm of the sofa so that with each of my thrusts, her hips met mine, slamming into one another. Colliding in frenzy.

Watching her fall apart sent my heart into overdrive, she looked beautiful and free, her mouth dropping open into a gasp of elation. As her toes curled and her fingers gripped the cushion, I came with her, roaring out a curse of pleasure.

When I collapsed on top of Maya, her arms came around my back, and she hugged me tight, dropping a light kiss to my cheek.

"Amazing," she whispered. "Just what I needed."

Chuckling, I let my body sag, my bones feeling like jelly in the moment of peace in the aftermath of incredible sex.

"You hungry?" I eventually asked.

" Yes. Starving."

"Give me a minute and I'll get us some curry."

"Actually, any chance I could have a shower first?" Maya shifted her leg, and I remembered we'd stopped using condoms so she must be sticky.

"Mind if I join you?"

She gave a contented sigh and shook her head. "Not one bit. In fact, I'd love it."
