Chapter 9 - Unexpected

The very same day when I confirmed my arrangement with Josh, Elliot came to find me at my house in the night. He seemed really quiet, and sensing something was not quite right, I pulled him to sit down on the steps of my back porch and loosely linked my arm with his. He kept silent for several minutes, and unable to bear with the silence, I asked him if he was alright.

"Something wrong Eli? You're usually not this quiet. You're beginning to resemble Josh." I said, attempting to crack a joke.

Elliot turned and looked at me with a serious face. "Josh came by today. He asked me for my agreement in the arrangement between you two."

"And ?" I prompted.

"Why didn't you say a thing the past week? Rick told me that Josh stayed the night last week, when news of Kellie broke out."

"What was I to say? I was trying to provide some comfort, but one thing led to another, and we ended up sleeping together. I thought it was a one-off thing, and wasn't expecting any further progression of the relationship."

"You could have said something! Anything to give a hint! I was suddenly struck dumb when Josh came by and said he was entering the sexual agreement with you! I didn't even know he saw you in that way!" Elliot's voice was rising through his speech, and by the end of his sentence, his voice was almost a near shout.

Before I could reply, he continued with his rant. "I wonder how many guys you have had one-offs with, and didn't bother telling Rick and I?"

At his words, I turned pale. Looking at my face, Elliot knew he had just made a huge mistake. He cursed quietly, and attempted to take my hand to apologize, but I shook off his hand with a cold glare.

"How dare you say that! Are you implying I'm some kind of slut? You know that I am only involved with you and Rick! There hasn't been anyone else since I first lost my virginity to that jerk!" I shouted.

I quickly turned my back on Elliot as I felt tears threatening to fall. When I felt Elliot's hands on my shoulders, I tried to shrug him off, but he tightened his grip and pulled me to lean against his chest.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I'm such a jerk. I'm no better than that other jerk." Elliot apologized profusely.

Elliot turned me around to face him, and cursed at himself upon seeing the silent tears on my cheeks. He bent and kissed the tears away, punctuating each kiss with an apology. When my cheeks were dry, he wrapped his arms tightly around me and we stood there in silence.

"I'm sorry… Although we don't have any romantic feelings entangled in this relationship, you know that I'm a jealous & possessive man. I keep what's mine. In the first place, having to share you with Rick isn't easy on me. But I don't have any say in that as he met you first. If I had known you first, like hell I would be sharing you with anybody. Now Josh comes along and I find out you are going to have another man in your life? At this moment, that's a little hard to accept." Elliot explained.

"Elliot…" I understood his feelings and I wanted to say something, but Elliot stopped me.

"Let me finish… Josh came to ask for my agreement. He said you agreed, but if I was not willing to give my agreement, the arrangement would still fall through, and he would not force the issue. I wanted to say no, but I couldn't. After knowing you, my life and Rick's have become different. We have both come to need you. I think Josh needs you too. I think sub-consciously he knows it, that's why he had the thought of entering an arrangement with you. I always thought he is the last guy to ever enter this sort of relationship. He had always been a one woman man."

"In case you are wondering, I gave my agreement, though I wasn't very happy in doing so. But what made me so pissed was that you didn't say a thing. You could have told me something so that I could prepare myself. It was a bombshell to have Josh tell me calmly that he slept with you, and that you two are entering an arrangement together." Elliot continued.

"I apologize for that. I just didn't know how to bring it up. I'll make it up to you." I looped my arms around Elliot's neck and gave him a quick kiss.

Before I could pull back, Elliot pressed his lips against mine and slipped his tongue into my mouth. He lightly stroked my tongue with his, and I moaned as he plundered my mouth. We broke away to breathe, and Elliot continued to trail kisses across my cheeks and down my neck. He latched onto a spot on my neck and began to suck, as his hands slowly unzipped my dress and he smoothed his hands across my bare back. His hands traveled lower and played with the waistband of my panties, before slipping inside and cupping my bare buttocks.

Blood was rushing to my head, and I struggled to regain composure. I lightly pushed against Elliot's shoulders. "Elliot, stop." But I was distracted when Elliot began kneading my buttocks. "Elliot, we really have to stop." This time I was more insistent.

Elliot's hand stilled. "Why?" he asked, looking a little hurt.

"We're standing outside. The neighbours will see us. Can you control yourself till we enter the house?" I teased.

Elliot's eyes lit up at my words. Without another word, he grabbed my hand and hurriedly pulled me towards the house. After entering, he slammed the door shut, turned the locks and pulled me back into another kiss. Elliot walked me backwards till I hit the kitchen island. He quickly slipped my dress straps off my shoulders, and dropped it, pooling the dress at my feet. I pushed off his jacket, and he stripped off his shirt. Using my thumbs, I rubbed circles around his nipples till they hardened into tight peaks, then I took one hardened nipple into my mouth and began licking and sucking. Elliot let out a harsh groan and buried his hand into my hair. I was about to move to the other nipple but Elliot dragged me up for another French kiss.

Elliot undid the clasp of my bra, pulled it off my arms and dropped it on the floor. He then cupped my breasts and began massaging them in slow circles, then rubbing his thumbs repeatedly over them. With his left hand kneading one breast, he bent his head and took the other into his warm mouth. I moaned loudly, and pressed his head closer. When he was satisfied, he took the other breast and gave it equal attention with his mouth, while his hands moved down to strip off my panties. Not happy that I was naked while Elliot was still clothed, I quickly undid his jeans and pulled down his boxers. He quickly kicked it away and picked me up by the waist, placing me on the kitchen island.

"Lie down." I quickly obeyed, and Elliot spread my legs open. He began trailing kisses from my neck, down between my breasts and down my stomach. I gripped the edge of the table in anticipation, but was slightly disappointed when Elliot stopped. He moved back up to kiss me, but lightly trailed his hand down my body. I gasped when his finger found my clitoris, and began rubbing it between his fingers. I felt myself spiraling higher and higher, and getting wetter and wetter. Elliot slipped his index finger into my wet cunt and began to stroke in and out, and then inserted another finger to join in the motions. His movements increased, and I knew it would not be long before I climaxed.

Elliot pulled his fingers out and I groaned, but he then swiftly hoisted himself on the kitchen island and plunged in with a single stroke. He began pumping rhythmically and I straddled his hips to draw him deeper.

"God Sam, you feel so good." Elliot moaned. "Faster, faster!" I gasped.

Elliot increased his speed, and both of us were moaning and groaning in pleasure. In a few short moments, I shuddered in delight when I finally climaxed, and after a few more thrusts, Elliot climaxed as well.

Elliot collapsed onto me and we lay on the table, spent and satiated. "Forgive me for my earlier spoken words?" Elliot asked. I looked up at him and smiled. "Maybe a kiss will help in your apology." I suggested. Elliot smiled, a wicked look crossing his face, and he proceeded to kiss me senseless, till our earlier argument was all but forgotten.

A/N: A big thank you to those who continued to send me reviews even though this story has been stopped for so long. I actually lost motivation to continue this story, but after reading the reviews, the new & the old, I actually felt motivated & inspired, which led me to churn out 2 chapters! I will try to put my many ideas and thoughts into words to see this story to the end.
