Chapter 21: Play with You

Alijah was sore and a bit ticked off. After a night of fantastic birthday sex and then again that morning, Kieran had told her that they needed to fly to Dolores, Colorado, for business. She had not been amused. When she had reminded him that she didn’t work weekends, he told her that technically she wasn’t. However, their appointment was at six Monday morning, and it made sense to fly out Sunday afternoon.

So, they had packed and gone to the airport with Chayse and Erin in tow since they were flying out that afternoon as well. Now, she was seated on Kieran’s private plane, playing cards. Though she knew them flying out today made sense, she just wanted to spend her birthday lazing around.

She had just finished laying out the cards to start another game of Tri-Peaks when she felt Kieran’s hand drop to her thigh. She glanced over at him to find him still reading the reports he’d pulled out when they first took off. Turning her attention back to the cards in front of her, she began to play. Alijah was halfway through the game when his finger started to make slow circles on her exposed thigh due to the shorts she wore.

She bit the inside of her cheek and focused on her game. They’d been in the air for thirty minutes, and she’d learned from Kieran that the total flight was a little over an hour and a half. Alijah figured she could play different card games until they landed.

Kieran’s hand began circling her thigh, and Alijah shifted slightly. She had pretty much been ignoring him since he told her she wouldn’t get to have a lazy, relaxed birthday.

Finishing up her game, Alijah grabbed the cards to reshuffle them. She heard Kieran lay the papers down on the table in front of him. She could feel his eyes on her but continued to shuffle the cards.

“Can I play with you?” Kieran questioned, and by the tone of his voice, she knew he wasn’t talking about the cards.

Alijah laid the cards down and turned to look at him. He’d pulled his lower lip between his teeth, and she could see the mischief in his eyes. He slowly released his lip as she shook her head at him, rolling her eyes playfully.

He took her hand and stood up. Alijah allowed him to lead her to the small bedroom on the plane. She stood in front of him as he sat down on the bed.

Kieran released the button on her shorts before pulling down the zipper. He looked up at her as he pulled them, along with her panties, down. She had taken her shoes off when they’d lifted off, so she stepped out of the clothing items.

“If I didn’t know any better, I would say you only like me for my vagina,” Alijah told him with a raised eyebrow.

Parting her outer lips, Kieran leaned in and gave her clit a quick lick. “It’s a good thing you know better.” He pulled his shirt over his head before looking up at her. “Though it is a plus.” He threw in, smirking.

Alijah hit him playfully on the chest. Kieran caught her hand and fell back onto the bed, pulling her on top of him. She laughed lightly, her hair falling into her face, and Kieran was in awe. She was so beautiful. Her entire face lit up when she laughed, when she smiled.

Kieran wanted to bury himself deep inside of her, but he knew she was sore. He had woken up twice and taken her during the early hours of the morning. While he believed in pushing her body for her pleasure, Kieran didn’t believe in hurting her. He had become so in tune with how much she could take, and he knew that having sex with her at that moment would push her too far.

“I want to fuck you, bury my dick so deep you feel it in your stomach,” he told her, watching her chest as her breath hitched. “But I’m not going to hurt you. So...” He finished, trailing off as he pulled her up his body to straddle his head.

Kieran leaned up and flicked his tongue over her clit several times. Taking hold of her waist, he latched onto her clit, laying back entirely on the bed, bringing her down with him.

The suction of his lips on her clit was slow. They had about an hour before they landed, and Kieran was in no hurry. He used his teeth to cause friction against her clit. The action was slow and deliberate.

Alijah moaned at the feel of Kieran’s lips on her. She threw her head back and slowly began to gyrate her hips. Kieran lifted her slightly, removing his lips from her clit. Sticking his tongue out, he positioned her, pulling her down and sliding his tongue into her.

His hands on her waist, Kieran slowly moved her up and down. Each time he brought her down, he was sure to breathe out slowly through his nose onto her clit.

“Please don’t stop.” Alijah moaned.

Kieran lifted an eyebrow even though she wasn’t looking at him. If he could smirk with his tongue inside of her, he would have. She thought he was going to torture her again. In this position, however, she had control. Yes, he was lifting and lowering her, but she could take over at any time.

Her legs began to shake, and Kieran knew she was close to cumming. She removed his hands from her waist and laced her fingers through his before placing them on the bed. Alijah continued to ride his tongue slowly. Right before she was about to cum, she lifted off his tongue, hovering over him. Alijah looked into his eyes before sliding back and leaning down to kiss him.

The kiss went on for a few moments as her orgasm subsided. When she was sure she wouldn’t come immediately from the contact of his tongue, she slid back up. Kieran stuck his tongue back out, and she slowly slid down on it.

She always enjoyed the way he gave her oral pleasure. He would stiffen his tongue and then wiggle it inside of her. It drove her crazy.

Alijah sank onto his tongue and began to rotate her hips. After a moment of that, she began to rock back and forth. He breathed on her clit, and she began to shutter. Just as she was about to release, she rose off his tongue.

Kieran reached up to pull her back down, but she laced her fingers through his and slid down to kiss him again. Alijah snaked her tongue into his mouth. She took his lower lip between her teeth and tugged it gently when they pulled apart. She then ran her tongue along it before straddling his face again.

This time, Kieran latched onto her clit. He sucked it quickly as Alijah began to rock back and forth. She looked down, locking eyes with his. His mouth was warm around her clit, and she was a moaning mess.

Alijah was close. She could feel it, her orgasm right at the precipice. As it crept up on her, she placed her hands on the bed and lifted herself. His lips released her clit with a small pop.

Kieran raised an eyebrow at her. “Is this supposed to be payback for last night?” He leaned up and took a lick. “Because I’m sure you’re torturing yourself more than you are me.”

Alijah giggled before lowering herself again. She began to ride his tongue quickly as Kieran reached up and began to rub her clit with his thumb.

“Kieran. Oh, my...you’re always so good to my pussy.”

At those words, Kieran stopped rubbing her clit. Placing his hands on her waist, he lifted her. He licked his bottom lip as he cocked an eyebrow at her.

“Whose pussy?” He questioned.

“My...”

She didn’t get to finish. Kieran flipped them over. Her back against the bed. He leaned in and licked her clit slowly before dipping his tongue inside her a few times.

“Whose pussy?” He questioned a second time, hazel eyes dark.

Alijah opened her mouth to answer but could only release a moan as he dove between her legs, putting his tongue to work. Kieran knew precisely how to quickly bring her to the edge, and Alijah was a moaning mess.

Kieran reached up and placed his hand around her neck, squeezing as he caused quick friction to her clit with his teeth. He watched as she arched her back, rising off of the bed. Her legs began to shake, and Kieran released her clit. He blew on it.

“Whose pussy?” He questioned again, licking her from opening to clit, circling his tongue around it. “Tell me,” he demanded, biting her clit gently.

Kieran observed the signs of her body.

“Yours! Baby, it’s yours! All yours!” Alijah screamed as he latched onto her clit, sucking it hard as she came.

Kieran continued to lick her languidly through her orgasm. When it completely subsided, he moved up to hover over her. “I want to bury my dick inside of you right now,” he informed her before leaning down to peck her lips, hand still around her neck.

Alijah’s eyes were hazed in the afterglow. “Do it.”

“Your body isn’t ready.” He released her neck, kissing her again. “I can wait.” With that, he rolled to lay beside her.

“Kieran, where are we?” Alijah questioned as she sat up in the front seat of their rented car.

They had landed about half an hour ago, and a car was waiting for them. Kieran had told her she could stay in the car while he got their bags and signed the paperwork for the vehicle. Once they were off, she hadn’t been paying attention to their surroundings. Only when he turned off of the main road, and the trees opened up did she notice.

“Wait here. I’ll be right back.” Kieran informed her as he exited the vehicle, ignoring her question entirely.

Alijah watched him walk into the building he had parked in front of. Bringing her hand up, she hit the button for the locks. The building was rustic, and they seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. She had seen how these things ended for black people in the movies. She was not about to take any chances.

It only took a few minutes for Kieran to come back. Alijah unlocked the doors when he got to the car and turned to look at him as he got in. He put the car in drive and continued down the dirt road.

“Kieran, where are we?”

“I told you we were coming to Dolores, Alijah,” he responded, glancing at her before turning his attention back toward the road.

Alijah rolled her eyes. “I know that. I mean, where are we now exact…”

Alijah trailed off as a beautiful cabin came into view. It was gorgeous. There was a fire pit outside, which she was sure was used for colder months. As she looked around her, she spotted another cabin a short distance from the one Kieran was pulling in front of. She took in the entire area, and it was breathtaking.

“We’re at the Dutton Hot Springs,” Kieran informed her coming to a stop in front of the cabin. “It seemed like the perfect place to end your birthday.”

Alijah turned to look at him. She took her seat belt off, lunged over the middle console, and hugged him. She kissed his cheek before opening her door and getting out of the car. She could feel Kieran behind her as she made her way to the door. She stepped aside to allow him to unlock it.

Once they were inside, Alijah could not believe her eyes. The cabin was beautifully decorated. She opened up a door that led to the bathroom and gasped at the shower. It was exceptional. She would almost say it put Kieran’s to shame.

Alijah was stunned. Here she had been irritated with him, and he had surprised her, putting the perfect finishing touch to her birthday. Admittedly, however, she was a bit skeptical. He had spent so much money on her already for her birthday, and by the looks of this place, he was spending a pretty penny.

Alijah walked out of the bathroom to find Kieran sitting on the bed.

“Do you like it?” He questioned.

“Yes,” Alijah responded, nodding. “You didn’t have to do all this. How much is this costing, Kieran?”

He signaled for her to come to him, and Alijah walked over, sitting on his lap. “I know I didn’t have to. Don’t worry about how much it’s costing.”

Alijah huffed as Kieran leaned in and pecked her on the lips. She lay her head on his shoulder as he ran his hand up and down her side. It always amazed her that he had this side to him. One that she knew he didn’t let anyone see but her. She was grateful that he trusted her enough to let his guard down and be vulnerable with her, even if it was only for a moment.

“So, I thought tonight we could go see a movie and go out to dinner,” Kieran spoke.

Alijah removed her head from his shoulder to look at him. “You mean like a date?” She questioned, a little surprised.

While they had gone out on her birthday and to the opening of Mirage along with lunch at work, they hadn’t actually gone out before. It was a bit of a shock to her.

“Yes, Alijah. Unless you want to keep me a secret here as well.” He teased her.

Alijah kissed him. She’d spoken with Chayse, and her cousin had pointed out that it didn’t matter what anyone else thought of her relationship with Kieran. As long as the two of them knew what it was, who cared. Chayse also pointed out that people had seen them together at Mirage, which was definitely not in a business sense. Any of those people could have been people that worked for Kieran. So, she had decided to say fuck what other people would think and live in the moment.

“We can leave at around six-thirty,” Kieran told her, lifting her from his lap. He pulled out his phone and looked at it. “That will give us a little over three hours,” he responded, throwing his phone on the bed. “I’m going to get the suitcases from the car. Find a movie for us to go see.”

“My purse is in the car with my phones in it,” Alijah responded as he stepped out of the door.

“Use mine.” Kieran threw over his shoulder as he continued.

Alijah picked up Kieran’s phone and laid back on the bed, holding it above her head. She tapped the home button for the phone to light up, and of course, it was fingerprint protected. She placed the phone back on the bed and waited for him to return as she looked up at the ceiling. It only took a few minutes for him to come back with both suitcases.

“I need you to unlock your phone,” she stated, holding it up.

“Cyclone,” Kieran responded, placing the suitcases by the door.

“What?” Alijah questioned, sitting up to look at him.

“It’s the backup password,” he told her.

Alijah typed it in and started looking up movies and times. She wasn’t surprised that Cyclone was his backup password, though she would never have thought of it. Kieran told her the story of the first product he had successfully purchased and sold. It was a handheld vacuum cleaner. It was light and durable but as powerful as a full-size vacuum cleaner. You could see inside the chamber, and as it sucked up dirt, it swirled within it like a tornado, hence how it came to be called Cyclone.

Kieran went about taking out his laptop as Alijah looked for a movie for them to see. While they were celebrating her birthday, he still needed to work. His goal was for them to have at least two uninterrupted days before it became a working trip. He had planned for them to be there until Friday. With Remy back at the office, he didn’t mind being away for the week with Alijah.

He placed his laptop on the bedside table before picking up Alijah’s suitcase and putting it next to the bed beside her. He knew that she had packed a lot of work attire. However, he hadn’t been alone in his plan to surprise her. He had enlisted Chayse to pack her another suitcase with clothes appropriate for their stay. The suitcases were identical except for the handles, so, while Alijah hadn’t noticed, it had been easy for him to grab the suitcase Chayse packed from the trunk when they made it to the airport instead of Alijah’s.

“What type of movie do you want to see?” Alijah asked him.

Kieran looked over at her as he unzipped his suitcase. “It’s your birthday, baby. Pick whatever you want to see.”

After a few moments, Kieran grabbed his toiletry bag before walking into the bathroom and starting the shower. When he walked back into the bedroom, Alijah informed him of the movie they were going to see. Kieran simply nodded as he pulled his shirt over his head. He then made his way to where she still lay on her back and hovered above her.

“Come take a shower with me.”

Alijah lifted a brow as she stared at him. “You just want to feel on me,” she told him.

Kieran smiled at her before leaning in and kissing her softly. “You’re damn right.”

Alijah smacked his shoulder, and Kieran laughed as he got up, pulling her with him. He had packed all of her bathroom products in his bag since they had been in his bathroom back at the condo. Once in the bathroom, he stripped her slowly before finishing undressing and stepping into the steaming shower.

“Is that a carnival?”

Kieran could see the approaching rides that Alijah was looking at and nodded. It was indeed a carnival. The lights were beginning to shine as the sun disappeared. They had left the cabin later than expected, and it was almost eight-thirty.

“Can we go there?” Alijah questioned him.

“You want to go there instead of the movies and dinner?”

“Yes,” Alijah responded, turning to look at him.

Kieran glanced over at her and was surprised that he didn’t run them off the road. She was breathtaking. The last rays of the sun shone behind her as she waited for his response. Green eyes shining, brown hair a mass of curls.

“Yeah, baby. We can go there,” he answered, committing the image of her to memory.

Kieran found a park after pulling into the carnival space. Turning the car off, he got out before going and opening Alijah’s door. He intertwined his fingers with hers and led the way to the entrance.

After paying their entry fee, Kieran gave Alijah free reign and followed her around the carnival doing whatever she wanted. He loved the smile that seemed to be continuously on her face and the joy she was getting from the simple things they were doing.

They had ridden everything twice and had, what he was sure, was an overly unhealthy amount of fatty food. After which, they had played a few games, and he won a stuffed animal and a goldfish for her, which she had then turned and given to a little girl who had been desperately trying to win her own fish, after making sure it was alright with the girl’s mother.

It was after midnight when they left the carnival, and Kieran could tell that Alijah was beyond tired. They were halfway to the cabin when he glanced over and saw that she had fallen asleep holding onto the stuffed butterfly she had chosen.

When they made it to the cabin, Kieran got out and unlocked and opened the cabin door before going back to the car and unbuckling Alijah. He picked her up out of the car carefully and carried her inside. Laying her gently on the bed, Kieran removed her shoes, shorts, and the thin cardigan she was wearing. He then undressed and climbed into bed beside her. Kieran pulled the blanket from the bottom of the bed over them before turning the lamp off. He wrapped his arm around her waist and settled into sleep.
