A Chance Encounter Read online

  She winks at Em who laughs, and I throw her a look. “You get fed and now you are just going to leave us. That’s charming.”

  She knows I’m teasing and sticks out her tongue. “Hey, I am going to see my man and yes I am just going to leave.”

  “Go have fun and we will see you later.”

  Em and I snuggle on the sofa for another hour and then Em goes to hit the books. I am lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Having Em in the house brings a strange sense of calm to my life. She has changed my life for the better and has given me a confidence that I never knew was there. She is giving me the safety to feel what I am feeling for her and even though it scares the hell out of me, it’s what I want. I have never been so sure of anything in my life.

  I hear the bedroom door open, lift my head and smile as I see Em wearing my hoodie. “Everything ok? Can I get you something?”

  She comes over to me and curls into my body. “I just need this for a few minutes and then I will go back in. Are you bored?”

  I pull her tighter against me. “I’m not bored at all, I am surprisingly contented.”

  She leans up and kisses my neck before cuddling back into me. “How is the study going?”

  “I feel I am finally getting it into my head. Thank you for letting me stay here and study.”

  “You don’t have to thank me, you’re my baby and I will do anything to help you with your studies. It’s important to you so it’s important to me.”

  “I saw the form for enlisting in your room.”

  My body stiffens at this, she leans into me and puts her arm around me tighter. “Charlie, if that is something you want to do, I will support you. I will miss you when we are apart, but you will come back to me and we will be together. I know that this is a family tradition and it is important to you. I want you to fulfil what you want and know that you won’t lose me in the process. We are strong Charlie, we can get through anything together if we are both on the same page. I want you in my life for the long term, not just for now. When I think about us, I see us years from now still together and still happy as we are now.”

  Listening to Em, I can’t help but smile. I can feel my heart swell because when I consider my future, I see Em right there beside me. I never thought I would find someone like her and to be honest, I wasn’t looking. She just appeared on my radar and as soon as I saw her it was as if she called out to me. I couldn’t ignore, I had to answer her call. I must have been quiet too long because Em leans up and I can see a fear in her eyes. “Unless you don’t want the same thing, maybe this is only a short-term thing for you?”

  I pull her head down and crash my lips against hers. I put every ounce of feeling I have for her into the kiss and feast on her until we need to break apart to breathe. “Em, does that answer your question?”

  Her head bows and I gently raise her chin, so I can see in her eyes. “Talk to me, baby.”

  “Charlie, I never thought I would find someone like you. You’re my first and...” She sighs but looks into my eyes, “and I’m falling for you. I’m falling hard Charlie.”

  She bites her lip and just looks so cute. I grin at her. “I am your first and I want to be your last too. I want you Em, not just for now but for always. You have burst into my life and the colours around me are so vibrant, I am no longer in a world of black and white or grey. You aren’t the only one falling, I am too and yes it scares me but with you beside me, I am grounded and that makes me relax in the knowledge of what I feel for you. So, I promise you this that no matter what the future holds, I will be right by your side and we will face it together.”

  The smile that comes on Em’s face lights up the entire room and strikes me right in the heart as if it was cupid’s bow telling me that this is what love is all about. She throws her arms around me, kisses me and before long the kiss is getting heated. Em’s hands are under my t-shirt and she is playing with my nipples making me moan. I remember that she must study, and I reluctantly break the kiss making her growl.

  “Baby, you have to study, and this is not going to help you learn what you need to for that exam.”

  “Charlie, we both just confessed our feelings and I want to feel that with you right now. I want you to possess my body and make me scream your name.”

  I growl and lift her up making her yelp in surprise as I carry her to the bedroom. I throw her onto the bed quickly stripping off and agonisingly slowly undress Em. She tries to touch me, but I don’t let her making her hiss in frustration. I have Em stripped to her thong - the only remaining item of clothing, and I can already see that it is saturated. I nuzzle her through her thong inhaling her scent. She smells so good, I nibble her, and I am rewarded by a moan. I take her thong in my teeth and move it off her hips. I can see exactly how wet she is for me and just seeing her glistening lips makes my own pussy spasm. My arousal starts anointing my thighs.

  I lick my lips in anticipation and kiss her labia before using my tongue to gather the sweet juice. As soon as the first drop hits my tongue, all thought of teasing Em goes out the window. I plunder her with my tongue, hitting every nerve in her body. Her fingers go into my hair and I can hear her mumbling my name. I suck her clit hard into my mouth before flicking my tongue over and back making her clit swell. I know she is close to coming so I start to bite her clit and her legs quiver. I welcome the gift of her liquid love in my mouth, swallowing deliriously the gift that she has bestowed upon me. I lick up every drop before I kiss up her body, paying attention to her beautiful breasts with nipples that are stiff peaks, waiting for my mouth to kiss, lick, and nibble.

  Her fingers make their way between my legs and I groan as she starts to play with my clit. My hips follow her fingers craving her touch. I moan out as she slides her fingers inside me. My hips move to the rhythm she sets.

  “More baby, give me more.”

  She slides in another finger filling me deeper, my hot breath floats over her neck as I ride her fingers. Her thumb rubs against my clit and I know I am close to coming. I bite down on the soft flesh of her shoulder as I spill over her hand.

  She slides out of me and I watch as she licks each finger clean. She grins at me before she pulls my head down and captures my lips in a passionate kiss. As we pull apart, I move so I can take her in my arms and run my fingers through her hair.

  “I love you Em.”

  Em stirs in my arms and grins at me. “You said the words.”

  I laugh. “Yes, I did, I love you.”

  “I love you too Charlie, it sounds so good to hear those words fall from your lips. It makes me feel so good.”

  “It makes me feel good to say them and to know you feel the same way too. I promise you if I am going to fill out the form, I will discuss it with you and it will be a joint decision.”

  We kiss and cuddle for a little while before Em hits the books again while I sit with her reading my favourite book at the minute on my kindle app.

  It’s not long before I am getting lost in the words and am transported to a fantasy world. Em leans her head on my shoulder with her notes and I move so that she can get more comfortable with me. The night is spent in a quiet but content atmosphere before I notice Em has fallen asleep reading her notes. I gently move her notes and get her lying down. I kiss her forehead before snuggling into her and letting sleep take me over too.

  Chapter 10

  Em’s exams are almost completed and she is stressed, but we both find strength in each other to vanquish the demons of the day. It’s been nice going to sleep and waking up with her in my arms. Even Stacey has enjoyed having Em around while I was working at the nightclub.

  I’m just tidying up when I hear the front door open. I look at the clock and frown knowing Em isn’t due back for another hour. I open the bedroom door and see Em flop into the chair.

  “Baby, how come you’re home early? I wasn’t expecting you.”

  She looks up at me with tears in her eyes making me rush over and take her into my arms. “Hey, what’
s going on?”

  She clings to me and sobs. “The exam was a disaster, I had a complete mental block. By the time I had got myself in gear, I had to rush the last two pages of it.”

  “Baby, I bet what you have done is going to get you through. It’s ok to get nervous but you completed the exam. You will surprise yourself, I just know it.”

  “I don’t have a good feeling about it Charlie, all the other ones I came out quite confident but this one, I just dread it.”

  I pull her closer to me. “Em, everything will be ok, you will see. When is your next exam?”

  “My final exam is in two days and then I am free for a month.”

  “In two days’ time you will be free, and you will de-stress, and we will look forward to our first Christmas together.”

  I see a tug of a smile on her lips as she snuggles in closer to me. “I love the thought of being with you over Christmas. This year has been such an up and down but meeting you has turned it around for the best. You have turned me upside down and inside out and I love every minute of it. You light up my life Charlie.”

  As I listen to the words leave her mouth, I can feel my heart soar. The butterflies take flight and I have the biggest grin on my face. Everything she has just said, I feel it through my entire body. She has lit a fire inside me that I never knew was there and just the simplest of hellos has me grinning like a fool. I have fallen for her and I can’t see my life without her in it.

  “Em, I have never met anyone like you and since you came into my life it has just gotten better. I have no words to even come close to what you mean to me. You are the last thought on my mind and you are the first thought when I wake. I miss you when we don’t talk which is crazy because at most it’s only a couple of hours that we don’t speak.”

  Em lifts her head and the sparkle I see in her blue eyes just lights up her beautiful face and the smile that I receive says more than words could say. I capture her lips and the kiss turns heated very quickly. Em’s hands go under my t-shirt and start to play with my nipples. A moan escapes my lips as my sensitive nipples harden further. Her kiss is hot, demanding and pouring every piece of feeling she has for me into it. Her mouth moves to my neck, she finds my weak spot and I move my head to give her further access.

  She hoarsely whispers. “I need you, Charlie.”

  I am not one to disappoint so I stand and take her to our bedroom. I strip her out of her clothes before I strip off myself. Em lays back on the bed and opens her legs, I can see how much she wants me. I run my hands up her legs and kiss her inner thighs. The scent of her arousal floods my senses. Her hips move towards my mouth, I grin as I move past where she wants me, and I kiss up her body. I suck her nipple into my mouth and hear a groan of appreciation from her. I swirl my tongue around her nipple before moving to the other nipple. I love her body and I love how she responds to my touch. I kiss down her body licking her navel before going to where she wants me. Em’s hand is in my hair pushing me down and I nip the skin before I start to lick her clit. Em’s back arches as I flick my tongue faster before I suck it into my mouth. I plunge four fingers into her beautiful pussy feeling her walls tighten around me. I take her hard and fast losing myself to the rhythm of our bodies. She milks my fingers as I feel her clit swell in my mouth. I moan against her sensitive quivering clit and I am rewarded with the call of my name and the sweet release of sweet juices in my mouth as I feel Em’s body convulse with her orgasm. I don’t stop wanting more of her and Em responds cumming over and over again. Her body goes limp as I move up her body and kiss her. She looks into my eyes and I see a predatory look she moves her hips and puts me on my back before moving on top of me. She looks down into my eyes and the sparkle in those blue eyes is dancing. She has a look of love that is unmistakable and it makes my heart sing.

  Her fingers make their way down my body and her nails trace my skin making me groan with the pleasure. My body has goose bumps and I am pleading with her to touch me and take me. She opens me up and slides all four fingers into my warm wet pussy. She pumps her fingers faster in and out of me, lighting up every nerve ending. I am mewling with the pleasure hips following her every move. We kiss passionately only breaking when I scream out her name as she brings me to an epic climax. She slows her fingers wanting to feel the last ripples of my orgasm before sliding her fingers out of me and licks them clean. She kisses my lips before lowering her head to my chest. I run my hands up and down her back, both of us content enjoying the moment of just being together.

  ****

  Em’s last exam was completed and as soon as I saw her that evening I saw her stress free and happy. She skipped through the front door in complete contrast to the last exam.

  “Charlie, I’m free, they are all done.”

  She jumps into my arms and I just about catch her barely keeping my balance.

  “Hi baby, I take it went well?”

  She kisses me and then leans back. “Yes, it went very well. I am confident with this one everything I studied came up.”

  “That’s great honey. We should go out for dinner to celebrate your new-found freedom.”

  “Oooh that is a good plan, where will we go?”

  “What do you fancy? Indian? Chinese? Italian?”

  “You know I always fancy you, babe.” I grin and can’t help but kiss her again. “How about Chinese, we haven’t gone there in a while?”

  I nod my head. “Sounds good, go get ready and I’ll ring and make the reservation.” I let her down and she starts undressing as she walks towards the bathroom. I shake my head and smile. “You are lucky Stace isn’t here, you wouldn’t be doing all this teasing.”

  She looks over her shoulder with a cheeky grin on her face. “You never know what could happen one day but today isn’t that day.”

  ****

  As we are at dinner, Em’s phone beeps to say that she has a text message. She takes it out of her handbag and I notice the smile that comes to her face automatically. I take a sip of my wine and wait for her to tell me the news.

  She puts the phone away, looks at me smiling and then takes a sip of her wine. I quirk my eyebrow making her laugh.

  “We have a visitor for the weekend.”

  I grin as I know exactly what she is talking about. “Ray is going to be with us?”

  She nods her head excited. “I can’t wait to see him. What shall we do with him?

  “We will think of something, this will be fun, I’m looking forward to seeing my little buddy again.”

  I see her stop chewing the piece of chicken and points the knife at me. “You are not to steal my nephew from me again or I will ban you from any activities we do.”

  I laugh at the serious look on her face and then hold up my hands in surrender. “I won’t intentionally steal your nephew, but you can’t blame me if he comes to me more.”

  She cocks her head to the side and then smiles. “It’s a good thing that he likes you so much, it just shows that you are in with my family and seen as an extension of me now. Ray is the toughest to win over, but he took to you straight away. It makes me happy to see him like that.”

  “I feel like I have been inaugurated into your family and it feels really good babe. I am looking forward to seeing Ray, it’s going to be a great weekend for us.”

  Chapter 11

  I got the weekend off work so that I could spend as much time as I could with Em and Ray. We are going to meet Danny halfway to collect Ray and they are going to spend the weekend being pampered and enjoying themselves.

  “Babe, are you ready to leave?”

  I see her rushing around and frown wondering why. “Babe, what’s going on? You are running around here like a tornado.”

  She stops what she is doing and looks at me. “We have a child coming to stay with us and I was reading online about house safety issues and look at everything here. What if he falls and bumps his head, or worse, oh my god, do we have time to get some childproofing done?”

  I laugh, cross over and t
ake her in my arms. “Honey relax, we don’t need to do all that. Ray will be fine, we will be watching him and if he falls, we will pick him up and dust him off. Stop fretting, he is going to have a wonderful time and he will be coming with his favourite toys and if we need anything we will all go out and get it.”

  She looks into my grinning face and blows out a breath. “I don’t know why I’m freaking out. Ray has been around my brother for years and he is ok.”

  I start to laugh. “I will tell him you said that. Are you ready now sweetheart? Calmed down enough?”

  I am rewarded with a thump on the chest but quickly followed by a kiss. “Yes, I’m ready and thank you for calming me even though you were an ass laughing at me.”

  “That’s an apology?”

  She frowns at me. I quickly kiss her and laugh. “Let’s go and get Ray.”

  The drive is full of excited chatter from Em and what we could do with Ray. I just smile to myself as I listen to her. I glance over at her and she is vibrant and happy, and it makes me feel great seeing that happiness in her. We had arranged to meet at ‘Northern Oak and Spa.’

  I have never been there before, and I am relying on Em to navigate us. She is so busy talking and I am trying to read every sign along the way.

  “Wait, Charlie, we need to go left.”

  Her outburst takes me by surprise, we miss the turn and I pull into a layby as soon as I can to turn around. I look at Em and laugh. “Way to go navigator that is how it’s not meant to be done.”

  She folds her arms. “It’s the first time I missed it.”

  I take her hand and kiss the back of it. “I know it is, you are very cute when you are so excited.”

  She shrugs and laughs. “I am excited, turn right up here and the hotel is on the left-hand side. You are going to love lunch in there.”

  I take the turn and as we approach the hotel, Em can see Danny’s car. There jumping up and waving already is a very excited Ray. I laugh and shake my head as I realise that this is going to be a very hyper and noisy weekend. I am pulling in and Ray is already pulling away from Danny to get to the car. Em has her belt off and is out of the car quicker than a flash.
