The next day Drake got up and scratched his five o'clock shadow.
This house was so familiar to him, he practically lived here as a boy. He spent so much time here with David.
He started the breakfast.
Eggs, toast. He made coffee.
He called up to Stella.
" Hey, foods ready." He yelled.
She bounced down the stairs. She was wearing her work out gear.
"Oh, I don't eat breakfast, but when I get back I will definitely take some coffee." She smiled at him.
He felt something move inside of him seeing her smile.
When she turned that smile on a person, they might do anything for her.
He ate his meal and turned on the news.
Stella ran...she ran longer than ever. She wanted to punish her body for betraying her mind.
She was feeling drawn to this man. He was not the one for her, he would make a terrible husband. He had his needs.
She thought about that ...she could never be the kind of woman that he wanted.
She ran farther.
Stella bent down, breathing hard. She was in town. She didn't see how she had come all of this way. She never ran this far before.
She turned around and started to walk back.
Drake saw her then. He had driven out looking for her when she hadn't returned.
He pulled up next to her.
" What the hell? I got worried, you didn't come back."
She got into his car.
" I think I was just in my head, I don't usually run this far. Sorry." She rubbed her temples.
He smiled. " I know a way to relieve the tension. Trust me." He grinned.
She did for some reason. He had never lied to her.
Was he an arrogant alpha male to everyone? or just her.
She went into the bathroom to change, she got into the shower.
Drake was standing there looking at her washing herself.
When she got out, he toweled her off. She stood there. It felt very loving, very sensual.
He lowered his mouth over hers slowly and kissed her, she was standing there quietly, stark naked in front of him, vulnerable to his advances.
I like this part, yes I can do this all day...
She kissed him back.
He picked her up and took her back to her bed.
She looked so beautiful.
He was lusting for that soft body again.
He gently placed her on the bed and began to pleasure her with his hands, then tongue.
He moved down to her naval, then lower. He wanted today to be about her learning her own pleasure as a woman.
She moaned, her back arched as she opened to him.
" Yes, more please...Drake I need something." She was winding up to something.
He wasn't planning to enter her.
He couldn't stop himself.
He swiftly opened his pants and slid into her- this time it was more forceful, all the way.
He lost all control of his senses. Drake grabbed her thighs and pulled her tightly to him.
It was even quicker than yesterday.
She was so close to something, she felt her body winding like a coil. She was ready to release it.
She was panting now.
He finished, he was done. He couldn't believe this, again? He was like a 14 year old boy around her.
He rolled off of her. "Damn it!" He said.
Stella looked at him, feeling like a bucket of ice water had hit her.
She touched herself, she wanted something, needed it.
He looked at her, knowing what she needed. He thought she was the sexiest woman he had ever slept with.
" Did I mess it up again, sorry. I told you I wasn't good at this."
She apologized to him.
He was the one that screwed up again.
She was like a drug. He had to be with her. He found himself losing all control.
He took her hand as he caught his breath.
" It's not you, I mean it's all you ..but it's me messing it up."
Drake sat up. He looked at Stella.
He wanted her. He needed her to stay with him.
Drake said. " I'm sorry Stella."
Stella got up and pulled on a t-shirt and some pink shorts.
" I'm not a baby. Let's just pretend this never happened. I don't plan on repeating it, ever again ..so just leave me alone like all of the rest." Stella fought the tears.
Drake grabbed her arms and looked at her.
" Not me, I want you Stella."
Drake knew she surely didn't deserve a man like him, but he was drawn to her.
She doesn't even know how sexy she is.
Drake took her hand, he kissed it looking intently at her.
"Let's go." He said.
Drake was only 23. He didn't know exactly how to be the loyal lover that she needed.
Drake just knew that she couldn't stay there, she would die of loneliness.
Stella was dazed. "I'm coming home with you?"
" Lets take a little trip, get acquainted. I know just the place."
Stella felt excited. She excused herself to the bathroom and got cleaned up.
He had me in bed, three times, he knows I'm not a good lover, why does he want me?
Drake called into the bathroom.
" You good?"
She said,"I think so, oh...I don't know."
He was anxious to get going, take her to his family's summer home.
When she came out he smiled and rubbed her back awkwardly.
" Let's go get your things, I guess you are now living with me." He smiled.
" This isn't going to work. I can't give you what you need, in the bedroom so to speak. You have your appetites Drake."
Drake frowned. "I don't understand, you did have s*x with me right? Of course I want you."
She looked at Drake.
" We are leaving now." Drake smiled and kissed her, "I want you Stella."
They drove in his sports car.
Stella couldn't believe she just moved out, her leg began to shake nervously.
Drake put his hand on her leg. She stopped shaking.
He could see that she was very nervous.
" You want to call your folks and tell them you moved out?"
" Drake I think it won't matter to anyone. When people show you who they really are, you believe them."She said sadly.
Her long hair fell over her face. Drake moved it and frowned.
He knew she was right. Her parents would just be relieved that she wasn't their problem anymore.
He promised her now. "You will always know who I am Stella, I won't lie to you, I will take care of you. Do you like the countryside?" He smiled.
She took a deep, cleansing breath.
She nodded. "I don't have many girl clothes. I can't dress in jeans and football jerseys as a woman can I?"
He smiled." I suppose not."
They drove east, through southern California.
Stella loved the large boulders everywhere.
" Let's stop and do some shopping," he said as he kissed her hand.
Stella said,"I dont have any money."
" I do, I will get you what you need. My birthday gift to you."
" Drake, you are my wish, when I blew out the candles on my birthday cake. My wish was not to be alone on my birthday, you walked in right after that."
Drake said," You won't be alone from now on." This time he lied.
He couldn't keep this promise, he wasn't ready yet, but he would be.
