A Long Way Home (closed)

[silvertongue217]

He ran back in quickly getting dressed in a pair of gym shorts and a simple white beater before coming back out. He shot her another embarrassed smile and walked over busying himself with the pizza before finally going to lay down on his bed. He took a bite and settled in sipping his water and raising an eyebrow at the movie she was watching. It seemed like it wasn’t a good movie but he shrugged and watched enjoying her company to much to really say any thing else to her about it.

“The pizza was good” He said patting his belly after he finished it “excellent choice sweet heart” He said to her before yawning and stretching “We should be close to that national zoo you were telling me about do you want to go? I figured we could catch a late brunch and then head over spend a few hours there before getting back on the road we should get out of the state late tomorrow night if I decide to drive on through” He explained putting on his glasses and checking the route no his Ipad.

Zoe's eyes darted back to Mike as he reentered the room. He was fully clothed now but she still couldn't get the image of his broad chest and shoulders from her mind. And now he looked just as handsome in his shorts and tee.

"Thanks for paying for the pizza, it was amazing and I was starving." She laughed lightly. "I would love to go to the zoo. I honestly haven't been to anything like that since I was a kid!"

She noticed his raised eyebrow at her movie and snorted. "Don't judge me. I know it's lame but it takes my mind off things." But the movie was wrapping up and she was exhausted again. She pulled herself off the bed, forgetting about her earlier modesty. She tossed the rest of the pizza in the mini-fridge and dug through her bag for a brush.

She reached up, brushing her long hair out before pulling it into a ponytail. The bottom of her shirt raised a bit to expose a strip of her tummy as she did so. Finally, she put the brush down and climbed back into her bed. She glanced over at Mike. "So um, I just want to say thanks again. For doing this. You're an awesome guy."

 

[silvertongue217]

“Oh it’s no problem” Mike said biting his lip and moving his eyes to meet hers. He resolved not to look at her tummy and instead got up going to turn off the lights and check on the car as she prepared for bed.

“You’re a sweet girl like my daughter” He said venturing rarely into his personal life “I wouldn’t have left some one as pretty as you to try and survive the city by her self and I think that punk deserves an ass whipping for doing it” He said growling a little before coming over and kissing the top of her head.

“Don’t worry we will get you home and have some fun along the way” He said winking at her and climbing into his bed “get some sleep we have a big day at the zoo tomorrow” He said shutting off the light and settling in for the night.

And trying to ignore his bulging cock

He couldn’t really hide it any more. He wanted her just like he wanted… her. The guilt felt fresh in his heart but he couldn’t deny no more than he could deny his throbbing erection. He bit his lip and turned closing his eyes shut and trying not to stare at her or go drink it away.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe found it a little odd but none the less sweet and comforting as the man kissed her forehead. They'd only just met but in the amount of time they'd spent together, he seemed to have taken her under his wing, almost as if she were like a daughter to him. But she couldn't deny her attraction to him. There was just something about him that drew her in.

She sighed and turned over to face the wall, her back to him trying to sleep. After such a crazy day though, sleep was slow to come. She had difficulty quieting her mind but finally she dozed off. Her dreams were no solace. Zoe rarely had nightmares but tonight was an exception. Weird, scary dreams invaded that she couldn't get out of.

One in particular was of waking up in the hotel room, finding Marc had abandoned her again. Only this time she was completely alone. There was no one in the hotel and she stumbled out to find the streets littered with bodies. One of them being Marc, gruesomely stabbed and disfigured. Then he stood, along with some of the other bodies, all in similar condition, and came toward her. She ran, screaming, but they were catching up until she felt an icy cold hand on her shoulder.

She woke up suddenly with a soft cry, breathing hard and sweat dripping from her forehead.

 

[silvertongue217]

He heard her cries and woke up blinking away the sleep and looking at her in concern. She seemed to be having a nightmare of some kind and his heart clenched painfully in his chest as he saw the effect it was having on her. He quickly rolled off of the bed going over to her and gently smoothing out her hair.

“Hey” He said gently noticing she was awake “You were having a nightmare” He said looking into her eyes.

“Why don’t you come and sleep with me?” He said running his nails up and down her arm. He gently lifted her up not bothering to ask her permission and brought her over to his bed.

He placed her in bed and crawled in after her adjusting his pillows so she was nestled against him.

“Is that better?” He asked her gently kissing the top of her head.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe looked up as she Mike came over to her bed, sitting on the edge. He spoke soothingly to calm her down. Despite her still pounding heart, his nails on her skin sent shivers through her. She was surprised that he suggested she sleep in the bed with him and before she could answer, he was picking her up.

He lifted her easily as if she weighed nothing. It all still felt so surreal but she didn't fight him. He placed her gently on the bed and pulled the covers around her comfortably, crawling in to join her.

Her back to his chest, she nestled up close, noticing he was careful to keep his hips away from hers. But she felt warm and safe and calmed down quickly. "Thank you..." She mumbled before she fell off to sleep again.

 

[silvertongue217]

“My pleasure sweet heart” He whispered closing his eyes and feeling himself drift once more. He settled back into sleep drawing her closing and breathing in her scent. His dreams were filled with her thoughts of them being together….. mixing with thoughts of his daughter.

He slept soundly his alarm forgotten. It was morning and he was pressed into her one hand on her hip keeping them connected and the other across her breast. His head was buried into her hair breathing it in deeply as he lightly snored.

And he was hard

It pressed into her ass throbbing hard and thick.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe slept soundly the rest of the night with no more frightening thoughts or dreams. She woke up slowly the next morning, bit by bit realizing just how close she was to Mike. His arm was around her protectively, resting over her breasts, while one held her hip secure. His body was arm against hers, but as she moved slightly she became aware of his erection pressing against her ass.

She froze. She didn't assume it was because of her, but that it was an entirely common morning wood. But that didn't mean it wasn't weird to feel it pressed so urgently against her. And slightly erotic. She felt a pulse of heat move between her legs.

Where did that come from?

Not wanting to awaken him just yet, she attempted to wriggle forward, away from him. She bit her lip, the motion at first only succeeding in rubbing more into him. But then she was able to pull herself away and carefully extract herself from his arms.

She exited the bed but couldn't help but glance back, nearly groaning as she saw the bulge in his shorts. She forced herself to turn away. Trying to put the thoughts aside, she padded over to the coffee maker to make a cup for each of them.

 

[silvertongue217]

He awoke a few seconds later groaning and stretching out. He smelled the coffee and looked up his bleary eyes taking her in. His hair was disheveled and stuck up in odd places his eyes blurry with sleep.

“Morning” He said his voice husky with sleep. He started to rise and froze finally realizing his current problem.

“Shit” He thought making a show of stretching and moving around waiting for it to subside. He finally moved pulling his shirt back on and grabbing the coffee.

“Thanks sweetheart” He said sighing and taking a measured sip “did you sleep better?” He asked her out of genuine concern sitting on the bed and sipping his coffee.

 

[cbelle02]

"You're welcome." She said, stirring a packet of sugar into her own coffee. "I did sleep well and I feel much better today, actually." She smiled at him as she sat on her own bed, sipping the coffee. Sure, it may have been odd that the stranger made a point to comfort her and hold her, but he'd been gentlemanly about it. He didn't make any inappropriate moves. At least not intentionally.

Marc would have told her to suck it up, go back to sleep, and not to bother him, with not so much as a comforting pat on the back.

"You're a really generous guy, Mike. I'm sorry to have woken you last night. I hardly even get nightmares but I guess with everything going on my brain overreacted. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate what you did. And what you're doing. You're pretty awesome."

 

[silvertongue217]

“Oh it is fine” he said waving I off with his hand “I know what night terrors are like my daughter use to get them as well” he explained sipping his coffee and draining it in one smooth gulp.

“How about you sleep with me from now on I don’t mind and it isn’t often a old guy like me gets such beautiful company in bed” He teased not even fully realizing he was flirting the same way he did with her.

“I mean if that’s not to weird with you” He said blushing slightly trying to resist the urge to drink that was in his mind.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe was surprised that Mike offered to allow her to sleep with him. Every night? Was that really appropriate? He didn't seem to have any foul intentions, but still. She hardly knew him. Though she had to admit, she did find him attractive, and her thoughts weren't exactly entirely impure. But she had not intentions of acting on them and she doubted he had any similar feelings. Or did he? Was he flirting with her or just being nice?

"Um...thanks for the offer, but I think I'll be ok from now on. Last night was just...atypical, you know? Besides, sometimes I steal covers." She grinned and shrugged. "I'm used to sleeping alone anyway."

She finished her coffee and sat the cup aside. "I'm gonna go get dressed." She announced and grabbed her bag and moved into the bathroom. Since they would be going to the zoo later that afternoon, she dressed in a pair of denim shorts and a snug fitting tank top. She pulled her hair back and brushed her teeth before finally rejoining Mike.

 

[silvertongue217]

Later that evening

Mike yawned and blinked clearing away some of the sleep in his eyes. After a long day at the zoo and then driving he was ready to hit the hay and get some much needed sleep. They had an excellent time at the zoo so much so that Mike felt like his old self again instead of the ghost he had been for the past year. It was Zoe her light, her young soul….

Her beautiful

Yes even though he tried to fight it at one point he had stopped. He would live with the guilt he reasoned in his head as he noticed his comments starting to dip more and more into the flirting zone. There was no denying it so he didn’t try instead he simply flirted with her and admired her every chance he could get. Her tank top and shorts left little to the imagination any ways and even though he felt like a pervert he couldn’t stop himself.

He pulled into the motel shaking himself from the thoughts and turning. She was asleep curled against the seat looking so innocent and beautiful it made his hear clench. HE reached over softly stroking her cheek before sighing and opening the door. He stepped out and walked around grabbing the room keys and carrying her into the room. He kept the lights off and tucked her in smoothing her hair out and kissing it before going and getting the bags.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe couldn't remember the last night she'd had so much fun. She felt like a kid again, seeing all the animals and even interacting with some. It was also a good learning experience. The zoo was huge and Mike had treated her to anything she'd wanted to eat or drink.

She also noticed he had been more flirtatious with her throughout the day and a few times she was sure she'd caught him checking her out. She didn't feel threatened at all, though, and to be honest, she kind of liked it. Besides, it was all just light fun anyway. She even found herself flirting back a bit. Once, when they'd taken a break for food, she'd offered him a bite of hers, feeding it to him herself. The effect was strangely erotic and she'd pulled back, surprised. She didn't know if he felt it too, but neither of them mentioned it.

They drove on after the zoo for a few more hours and she drifted off to sleep again. She didn't awaken until she felt him lower her into a soft warm bed. She smiled as he kissed her hair and tucked her in before going out again. She was asleep before he came back.

At some point during the night, Zoe awakened. She softly padded around the room to the restroom, then back to get a drink of water. Still in the clothes she'd worn the night before, she figured she'd be more comfortable if she changed. Glancing over at Mike, confirming he was asleep with his back to her, she quickly changed in the room, wearing just her panties and a big tshirt of Marc's that flowed down to her thighs.

She watched Mike sleep, noticing how he looked more at peace when he slept, and a bit younger. She thought of how it felt to snuggle in his arms and glanced back at her own bed. Biting her lip, she grabbed her pillow and stood by Mike's bed. Then carefully, she crawled onto the mattress, trying not to wake up. She placed her pillow next to his and turned her back to him, snuggling up until she could feel the warmth of his body against hers. She was soon asleep again.

 

[silvertongue217]

“Mmm that’s it Zoe baby” Mike mumbled in his sleep her movement and starting to snuggle awakening the dream he was having.

An erotic one

He was already hard and he pressed it against her his hands moving up to push her shirt up pressing her panty clad ass against his cock. He was wearing nothing but his boxers underneath and she could feel every inch of him against the crack of her ass.

“Mmmm I’ve been waiting for this all day long” He murmured his other hand moving to her breast playing with it through her shirt as he bucked a little stimulating humping “I keep trying to be good but I cant not when you tease me and turn me on like you are I don’t know if you feel th same way but I have been dying to fuck you all day long”

He was clearly asleep and not aware of her playing out the dream and not realizing she was a participate in his erotic dream.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe awoke again to Mike's mumbling, his words difficult to make out, but she realized his cock was fully hard and pressed against her ass, his hand on her breast. She swallowed hard, resisting the urge to press back. She could tell he was still sleeping and obviously dreaming. About her? Maybe someone else. But he couldn't be aware that he was acting out his dream.

Part of her wanted to stay there, to let it play out. But what would that mean for them after? Surely she shouldn't take advantage of the situation. She gasped lightly as he humped against her again, his cock sending a bolt of heat between her legs. He wasn't aware of what he was doing. She didn't want to embarrass him.

Slowly, she extracted herself again. She made her way over to her own bed again. But she couldn't kill the thoughts, the feel of his hard cock against her ass, his hand on her breast. His words.

Soon, her hand slipped beneath the covers, teasing under her panties, surprised at how wet she already was. Her fingers slipped between her lips, brushing over her swollen clit. She bit her lip to hide her moans as she let her thoughts drift to fantasy, her legs open wide as toyed with herself.

 

[silvertongue217]

He made his pleasure known for her

There would be no doubt that night who Mike was reaming about. The usually quite man continued to moan and play out his dream moaning her name repeatedly and quite loudly. His lust need so bad for her that he couldn’t be silenced. He went through the dream finally cuming in his sleep and quieting but with the bomb having effectively been dropped into the room.

The next morning he awoke early feeling better and a little horny form his dream. He stretched getting ready to get up when he noticed what happened.

“What the” He murmured pulling off his boxers blushing in embarrassment as he realized what happened. He had came in his sleep! Acting like a horny teenage boy. He looked over at her and bit his lip hoping she was still asleep as he got out naked and sporting a slight hard on from the morning. He walked over past her rooting for his clothing giving her a view of his ass as he tried to quickly get into the bathroom and shower.

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe had came hard that night as well, urged on by the fact that Mike seemingly kept murmuring her name. Finally, he quieted and after 2 orgasms, she finally fell asleep herself.

She stirred the next morning as Mike got up. She'd forgotten all about it until she opened her eyes, catching a glimpse of his semi-hard cock and bare ass as he made his way to the shower. Fuck. Was it just a horny dream or did he really want her? She closed her eyes as the bathroom door shut again.

She heard the shower turn on and pictured him under the water, naked as it flowed over his body. Stop it, Zoe! She scolded herself. Sighing, she got up and made another 2 cups of coffee, still in only the tshirt and panties.

 

[silvertongue217]

He showered quickly pulling on his boxers and frowning when he realized he hadn’t brought any thing less in. He murmured a quick curse and stepped out wearing just his boxers and going over to his bed. He bit his lip noticing she was in a long t shirt and panties and roughly clearing his throat.

“Good morning” He said his voice thick with lust that he tried to clear away “how did you sleep?” He asked pulling on his shorts remaining bare chested as he walked over and sat down to pour some coffee for himself. He looked at her bare legs and bit her lip struggling to look at up and into her eyes as he gave her a kind smile.

“You fell asleep in the car and I brought you in” He explained softly “I figured you didn’t want to be woken up”

 

[cbelle02]

Zoe glanced over at him as he entered the room, in just his boxers. She watched him pull his shorts on, eyes locked on his broad chest for a moment before she tore them away.

"I, uh, I slept well. Thank you. Thanks for bringing me in. Sorry I keep falling asleep in the car." She said, laughing a little. She could sense a tension between them, something unspoken. But she ignored it. No reason to embarrass either of them.

"The zoo was so much fun, too. I guess you wore me out!" She said, then blushed a little as she sat on the bed, the shirt riding up a bit.

 

[silvertongue217]

“I guess it says some thing about me if I can wear out a pretty girl like your self” He said chuckling flirting again ass he starred at her legs.

“It was really no issue” He said reaching over and giving her leg a squeeze rubbing it a bit more than he should as he got up “I enjoy taking care of you” He said reaching out and giving her a hug kissing the top of her head and snuggling her against his chest. He held her for a few seconds before letting go reluctantly and going to pack the car while she got ready.

 

[cbelle02]

"I guess that means you've still got it." Zoe laughed, responding in kind to his flirtation. She thought about placing her hand on top of his on her leg, but he'd moved it before she could and pulled her close. Her breasts pressed against his hard chest as he kissed her head.

"But really, I had so much fun with you. At the zoo." She smiled as he pulled away and started to take the bags to the car. She took a quick shower, getting dressed and gathering up the remainder of her things. Then she joined him for another leg of their drive.

 

[silvertongue217]

“I’m thinking tonight we stop and have a nice dinner” He said putting the bags in the car and shutting the trunk. He gave her a kind smile and turned opening the door for her.

“I had reservations at this fancy restaurant for this leg of the journey” He explained to her climbing into the drivers seat “I managed to get another chair for you as well so you have the pleasure of taking a old man like me out on a date and keeping m company” He said starting the car and pulling out of the hotel.

“I trust you brought some thing to wear?” He asked “if not we can pick you some thing up”

 

[cbelle02]

"Oh! Well that's very kind of you, thank you! I think I have something decent enough to wear." She told him.

They drove on for a while, finally stopping for gas shortly before reaching the restaurant. Zoe took the opportunity to run in and change into a black dress she'd brought. It stopped mid thigh and dipped low in the front, exposing a modest amount of cleavage. She threw on a cardigan over it and went back out to the car.

Mike had gone in to pay for the gas and she waited. She sat patiently in the car, when she noticed something peeking out from under the console. She picked it up, realizing it was a picture. The picture was of two women, one close to her age, the other old, possibly her mother.

Then she realized it must be his wife and daughter. Was he married? He hadn't purposely tried anything with her so it wasn't like he was cheating, but she still felt guilty for the thoughts she'd had. She quickly replaced the picture when she saw him returning, not wanting him to think she'd been snooping.

She smiled at him as he got in. "Does this suffice?" She asked, referring to her dress.

 

[silvertongue217]

“Oh wow” he said his eyes widening taking in her appearance “you look….” He said biting his lip “exquisite truly my dear” he said climbing into the car.

He had changed as well into a nice black and red suit that showed off his shoulders and his physique. His wife always impressed upon him the importance of looking good and he would be lying if he wasn’t showing off for her slightly. He watched her discreetly as he pulled out sing if she noticed and was pleased.

He drove for a few seconds before noticing the picture poking out “ah I se you noticed the picture” H said taking it out and tapping it “my wife and daughter they got into a car crash five years ago and died” He explained swallowing hard and continuing to drive.

“I haven’t really had a chance to tell you” he said seeing the restaurant coming into view “we have been having fun more fun then I have had in a while seemed a shame to spoil it with sadness” he said looking at the picture before pocketing it into his jacket. It was back the sadness as well as the guilt he had been having so much fun and flirting with her he now felt ashamed.

And the desire to drink

He pulled in and got out going to open her door intent on getting inside and ordering himself some wine slipping back into his old ways faster than he could blink.
