A Hope and a Chance(42)
Author: Jennifer Foor

“I’d love to hang out with them, and I promise to be nice. Good luck with the investors,” I said as I happily ran into the house.

I didn’t see Buffy when I got inside, so I hurried up and headed into my room. After gathering some clean clothes I went into the bathroom. As I reached in to turn the water on I heard someone knocking. I walked to the door first but no one was there. Then I turned around and saw Chance standing at the window.

I pulled it open quickly. “What are you doing?”

He smiled, displaying his perfect teeth. “I’m trying to work, but then I saw what you were doing. I didn’t want you to freak out if you saw me staring.”

“That’s illegal you know. You’re a peeping Tom,” I joked.

“You can handcuff me right now, Hope. I wouldn’t even put up a fight.” He laughed, while still looking at me with intent.

I leaned out and grazed his lips. “Don’t tempt me.”

“So are you giving me permission to watch?” He asked.

“What do you think?” I started pulling off my shirt and backed away from the window while sliding my shorts off slowly. When I stood up he was smiling but moving out of my sight.

“That is so mean,” he said in the distance.

I took my time in the shower, and not because I wanted to tease Chance. I was half tempted to pull him inside. I just wanted to let the water run down my face and relax. When I got out I didn’t see him anywhere around. He may have had to go get one of his famous cold showers he’d told me about.

I wrapped myself up in a towel and started to get dressed. When I was done applying lotion to my legs I headed into my bedroom. After about five minutes someone knocked on my door. “Come in.” I was hoping to see my boyfriend.

Buffy tottered in and sat down beside me on my bed. “Hey, can we talk?” She asked.

“Sure.”

“I feel like an idiot for how I dealt with things this morning. I was so excited that I didn’t take into consideration that it would be hard for you. I am so sorry, Hope. I really love you like a sister and I don’t want to lose that if I marry your dad. I know that sounded convoluted, but it’s the truth.”

“Buffy, I feel the same way. I am sorry too. I should have been more understanding. You love my dad and he loves you. You guys should be able to do whatever you want.”

She leaned her head on my shoulder. “So, are we cool?”

“Absolutely,” I said.

She threw her arms around me and squealed like she was describing a high school crush.

“I was thinking that you might want to watch movies with me and Chance. Your dad is going to be getting home late. You know how those investor meetings go. They almost always end up at some golf course and country club.”

I smiled, only thinking of being in the same room with Chance. “That would be great.”

Mark had pulled me aside and asked if anyone had come over to the house while he and Buffy were gone. I assured him that nobody did. That wasn’t a lie.

We were burying ourselves into an endless mess, but there was no other place I wanted to be. Hope was fully aware of my feelings now, and she would never let me stop even if I wanted to.

My sister had this brilliant idea to have a movie night, and I would have declined if it weren’t for the fact that Hope was going to be there. Buffy had this problem of getting the worst girly movies ever made. I usually fell asleep after the first twenty minutes, and her shortly after. We’d end up taking days to finish, well she would at least.

I finished painting the posts on the front and back of the house, and headed to my place to shower. I imagined that my sister would order pizza and we would just veg out all night. Hope had no idea what she was in for.

When I was all cleaned up I headed over to the main house. I called out for my sister, but she wasn’t anywhere to be found. I then snuck up to Hope’s room. She was sitting at her computer with headphones in. I strode up behind her and kissed the back of her neck.

She jumped before turning around and pulling me into a hug.

“Where’s my sister?”

“She just left to go grocery shopping and grab the movies,” Hope explained with an ornery grin.

“So, we’re alone?” I needed to verify.

She placed her soft lips against mine. “I was just getting ready to come visit you. I had to wait until she at least pulled out of the driveway.”

“What were you going to do when you found me?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

“What do you want me to do?” She bit down on her lip, while awaiting my answer.

“I can think of a million things I’d like to do with you, but for starters I think we need to do this.” I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers again. She gripped the collar of my shirt, and pulled me even closer to her face. Her lips rubbed down my neck and she bit me before she ran her tongue over the bite mark.

“You smell so good.” She whispered.

We started taking off our clothes as fast as we possibly could. “What if someone comes home?” I asked in between kisses.

“We should just hurry.” Hope pushed me down on her bed.

Hope moved her hands up my thighs and kissed me on my belly button, and then with her tongue she worked her way up to one of my nipples. She obtained it with her teeth and slowly pulled it. “Oh God!”

Then she climbed on top of me, straddling my legs. Her tongue found mine and she played with it, teasing me with her own. We didn’t have time for slow passion; we needed to hurry so that we didn’t get caught.

Hope reached down and grabbed me. She lifted her body and then we were one. At first she was rocking slow, but soon picked up the pace. She used my chest to balance her weight while she guided her hips back and forth. It didn’t take us long to become overwhelmed with each other. This girl had all of my attention, and there was nothing I wasn’t willing to risk to be with her.

When her body began to lose control it was difficult for me to be able to hold out. A few seconds after she slowed her rhythm, I was sent into a frenzy.

Hot.

Sweaty.

Passionate.

Love.

Hope leaned her face toward me and kissed me slowly. I couldn’t help from wrapping my arms around her keeping her close to me. After a few minutes we both agreed that we needed to get dressed before Buffy returned home. The grocery store was just ten minutes away, and the movie rental was out of this big video box right inside of that same location. Depending on what Buffy needed, she may already be on her way back.
