25. Comforted

**Jodie**

I can't wait until I clock out. It's Billy's day off, meaning tonight Doug is going to take me home. Aside from him calling me to his office or locking me in the storage room when we were sure that no one was near we didn't get much alone time and I missed him. Okay, he says he missed him too but still, I think I miss him more just because my situation makes it sucks for us to arrange our time alone.

Work is essential for me, I need to feed my family and with the double shift I'm pulling because of Kirk I hardly have any off days as it is. Not that I am asking for it, because I need the extra hours. It's always good to have more money to stash for rainy days. Having had the rug pulled under me once, I have learned the hard way to save money.

Finding a job is hard, especially when you want one that can provide for your mom and your sister while putting a roof over your head. It's a struggle and sometimes late at night, I cried myself to sleep just because I'm too fucking tired and feel that I'm doing the same thing over and over again without seeing an end to my hard work. Money will come and easily slip out of my grasp and merely weeks later, we will start eating instant noodles all over again.

Having this connection with Doug is refreshing. I feel better though my financial situation has not changed at all. But it keeps my mind off of my pathetic life.

"Hey, ready to go back?" Doug takes his seat on a stool in front of me. The man looks hot and I have to clear my throat to calm myself down. I still need to reel myself back from time to time, remembering that I'm supposed to be a guy and my boss is straight as an arrow. There's a certain boundary that I can't cross.

"Yes, let me clock out and we can go. It's Luis and Zak's turn to close up." I look around, there are no more customers, and the tables are clean, the floors are swept. I nod and walk from behind the bar to clock out.

Doug is waiting for me inside his car already, putting the heat on so it's nice and warm by the time I enter the car. And the man grins like a fool when he notices my backpack. Yeah, we talked about me staying over at his place and going straight to work the next day, but I didn't say anything further wanting to make it as a surprise for him. As I say earlier I just miss him too fucking much.

"I talked to Mom and she basically pushed me out of the door and told me not to come back until tomorrow. So, either she really trusts me or is desperate for me to date. I still don't know how I feel about that."

Doug chuckles and tells me that maybe it's time for him to meet Mom. The man puts a hand on my arm, caressing it, cause it is the only thing he can do since we're still in the parking lot of his bar and anyone can walk out any moment.

"Yeah, hopefully sometime soon. I don't know how long I can keep Mom in suspense."

"We need to talk about you coming out as my female bartender." He easily says as he maneuvers the car out of the parking lot.

I quickly turned to face him and my eyes widened from his words. "Really? You'd let a female bartender in your bar?"

"Why not? You need the job and I need a bartender and you're doing amazing with the crew and the customers."

"But...but, people will know that I lied to them."

To that Doug just shrugs at me, telling me that is for me and Billy to come clean with everyone. Even the regular customers that I may and may not have flirted with. Oh...fuck, not good...

Realizing that my head is miles away from our conversation, he takes my hand entwined our fingers, and kisses my knuckles.

"Stop thinking so hard about it. Just put it as an option for the future. It doesn't have to be soon. At least not until we know something about who's messing with your car. I really don't want them to know that they can mess with my female employee. Not to mention the employee that I'm going to publicly claim when she decides to be Jodie." He squeezes my hand and my heart clenches as I start feeling things that I've never felt before.

"You're making me so sappy, I don't know why you even try when you know you have me already. I even bring my overnight bag."

Doug laughs and it makes me relax back in the passenger seat while letting him drive me back to his place.

"So, where do you want me to put my bag?" I tease the second we're inside his house and he locks the door behind us.

The only thing that's keeping him from taking the bag away from me is a big box of office documents that he is moving to his home office, saying something about his future project with his dad. But as soon as he rests the box on the kitchen island, he snatches my bag and grabs my wrist tugging me to the master bedroom.

I giggle as he rests my bag by the end of the bed, but when he circles his hand around my waist and pulls me flat to him, my laughter turns into deep lustful gasps that show just how horny I am.

"God, Jodie, I miss you so much, baby."

Shit...the little endearment at the end just makes my heart flutters. Emotions are flooding, rushing through my veins to the end of my tippy toes as he presses his lips to mine. His kiss is hard and demanding. Our tongues dance and I let out a whimper when he groans as he pushes me down onto the bed and he hovers above me while he continues trailing kisses to the column of my neck and unbuttons my work shirt to trace his kisses even lower.

"Doug, I need you...please,"

Once my shirt is on the bedroom floor, his lips latch onto my chest, and his hand move to unclasp my bra then I moan louder the second he starts sucking on my nipple one after the other. My legs part voluntarily, his other hand moves to the button of my pants when I help him and shrugs it off, letting it join my shirt on the floor.

I curse when his face is between my legs, his lips smile devilishly and his hands grab my naked thighs resting them on his shoulders. I feel the heat creeping from my chest up to my cheeks. I can feel myself ripening like a tomato as he lingers and lazily presses small kisses on my inner thighs. His fingers play with the bands of my panties but he isn't lowering them down. Instead, he pushes them aside and his tongue brazenly slides and starts teasing my drenched pussy with strong licks.

"Oh my god...Doug," I cry his name throatily, begging him not to stop and pleading him for more. I am a whimpering mess who's hungry for his tongue as I let him gather my thighs in his big strong hands and push them flat to my body, folding me like a pretzel. I am pliant in his hold, letting him manhandle me, pinning me down while his lips and tongue devour me, taking me closer to my climax.

When he puts a pillow under my butt, I turn a deeper shade of pink.

"Better get you comfortable, baby, it'll be a while before I am done eating you out." He says when he backs away, showing me how his lips are glistening from my arousal. I am feeling so slick and well-tongued as he keeps on getting me down before we chase my orgasm all over again. I am on the border of my climax when once again he moves away demanding me to calm myself down.

"I'm going to drive you bat-crazy with lust that you're going to come so hard when I smack that pink pussy of yours." He whispers in my ear as he pinch one of my nipples forcing my focus back on him.

"Doug...oh, my god...Doug, please..." My legs are trembling. I can't barely hold on to my climax.

"Lay on your side, I'm going to slide inside you and stretch your walls then make you scream my name when I tell you to finally let go."

When I'm in position and he pushes inside me my fingers dig deep into his forearms that circle my belly, holding me in place. Then when he tells me to come, I scream his name. I don't even care if his neighbors hear me, I'm feeling so high in ecstasy that everything else faded but his hold on my body as if he was making sure that he catches me as I fall from my high.

"So beautiful, baby," he whispers as he lets out a low sexy grunt and unloads himself into the condom.

Emotions flood my veins when I snuggle closer in his embrace before my eyes close and I drift off to slumber.
