Cheers To Comeuppance
Chapter 32

Third Person

After making it to third base and delaying Annika’s initiation into the mile-high club, Annika and Leon awoke from their rejuvenating slumber aboard Leon’s private jet to replace themselves on the final descent into Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. They took their respective seats without feeling the need to exchange words, and upon fastening their seat belts for landing, Leon instinctively took Annika’s hand in his and gave it a squeeze. Annika turned her head to face him and smiled from ear to ear as they locked eyes with one another. It was fast becoming second nature for the two to maintain physical contact, and they basked in each other’s presence.

“Mr. Von Doren, Ms. Silverton, please prepare for landing,” the captain announced politely over the intercom. About five minutes later, the jet touched down as smooth as silk before coming to a complete stop.

“Wow, that was a smooth landing,” Annika commented as she unbuckled herself. “Whoever your pilot is, he definitely has skill. Our family pilot butchers his landings almost every time. It’s like a damn roller coaster with him.” Leon and Toby both laughed at her remark because as she was saying this, the captain happened to come out of the cockpit, and with a smile on his face, he thanked her for the compliment.

“Mr. Von Doren, the car is ready and waiting for you, Sir. Shall I get a second car for Ms. Silverton and have her taken to the hotel?” Toby asked respectfully.

“No need. Annika will be accompanying me everywhere I go.”

“Sir? Everywhere?” Toby repeated to make sure he had heard Leon correctly.

“Yes. Is there a problem?” Leon asked, flashing his well-known look of intimidation towards Toby.

“No, Sir. I wasn’t implying anything of the sort. It’s just that all of the reservations throughout our stay have already been made, and I, unfortunately, didn’t include Ms. Silverton in any of them.”

“Would it be such an issue to add one to our count?”

“Well, perhaps not for the meetings per se, but dinner reservations might be an issue,” Toby replied with remorse and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Don’t worry about me, Leon,” Annika tried to reassure him as she wrapped her hands around his forearm and peered up at him with her doe eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“I know my inclusion on this trip was last minute, and I understand if adding me to your business dinners would be a hassle.”

“Baby, it’s not a hassle for Toby,” Leon responded and cupped her cheeks with his massive hands. If his hands were any more enormous, her face would be entirely covered by them.

“I’m not talking about Toby. I’m talking about the restaurants. A lot of high-end places take reservations seriously, and it’s hard to add more people to a party. So, essentially, it would be a hassle for Toby because he would hit a brick wall with most of the establishments,” Annika argued.

“But—”

“It’s fine. While you’re eating at the restaurants and doing your business, I will be at the hotel, ordering room service to my heart’s desire,” Annika cut him off with her hand and gave him a sincere smile.

“Toby.”

“Sir?”

“Call the restaurants and see what you can do,” Leon ordered.

“Leon, I just said—”

“Let me finish,” he cut her off this time. “If the restaurant can’t make the accommodation, then don’t worry about it. If they can, then add Annika to the party.”

“Of course, Sir,” Toby responded and nodded once to emphasize he understood. Toby looked towards Annika and nodded to her as well, indicating his gratitude for her intervention to make his job easier and for successfully convincing Leon not to overreact. “Sir, do you wish to go to the site now?” Toby asked and gestured towards the car.

“No. Annika and I would like to rest at the hotel. There’s no need to visit the site today.”

“Understood.” Toby opened the door for Leon and Annika, and she slid in first to take her seat ahead of Leon. Once they were securely in the backseat, Toby shut the door and made short work of collecting Leon’s luggage from the jet and stuffing them into the car’s trunk before jumping into the driver’s seat to start their route towards the hotel.

“Leon?”

“What is it, baby?” Annika smiled and pursed her lips. “What?”

“It’s so weird hearing you call me that,” she answered while fidgeting with her fingers.

“Calling you what? Baby?” She nodded sheepishly. “Why is it weird? You are my girlfriend now, are you not?”

“Well, yes. That is true. I guess I’m just not used to it, is all.”

“Would you prefer I call you Doc? Or Anni?”

“Honestly, I think you calling me ‘Doc’ is better than ‘baby.’”

“What? Why?”

“Well, because that’s what you referred to me as when we first met at my practice, and it means more now because I’m your girlfriend,” she admitted.

“Hm, I guess you have a point there … Doc.” Annika smiled and shook her head at the ease with which she persuaded him to change his pet name for her. “What are you going to choose for me?”

“Choose what for you?”

“A pet name.”

“You want me to give you a pet name?!” she uttered in disbelief.

“Why not?”

“I …” Annika was completely dumbfounded because she had never really used pet names for anyone, not even Jeffrey. As she had stated previously, it was difficult for her to drop formalities with someone even after knowing them for some time. The occasional ‘Honey, I’m home’ was part of her marital routine, but it was never something she used on a regular basis. Annika wasn’t the type that really believed in pet names and found herself getting goosebumps and on the verge of a gag response whenever she heard others using them with their significant others or spouses. “I’m not one that normally gives them …” Her voice trailed off after she finally found the words to speak.

“Really? Not even for Hollands?” Leon inquired in astonishment.

“No, not even with him. The occasional ‘honey,’ but that’s about it,” Annika declared with confidence.

“Oh, wow.”

“Yeah, I know. I’m weird like that,” Annika murmured as she dropped her head with embarrassment.

“You’re not weird, Doc. I’m flattered, actually.”

“Huh?” Annika shot her head up and furrowed her brows at him.

“I’ll be the first man in your life that you pick a pet name for,” he retorted and presented her with his signature dashing smile.

“I never said that I was going to give you one, Leon!”

“No time like the present, Doc.”

“No!”

“Why not!”

“I just said why! It’s not something I do!”

“But isn’t it something you’ve always wanted to do?”

“No …”

“No?”

“Yes?”

“Yes?” he repeated and tilted his head to the side in bewilderment at her interchanging response.

“I don’t know?”

“Doc, which is it?”

“I DON’T KNOW!” Annika shouted and covered her face as she turned a shade of scarlet due to feeling flustered. Leon chuckled when he witnessed her ears flushing red along with the rest of her face. He gently moved closer to her and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her towards him.

“Okay, okay, you don’t have to give me one, Doc. I was just teasing you,” he whispered and stroked the back of her head to comfort her before chuckling again.

“It’s not funny, Leon,” she replied and began sobbing out of the blue. Leon pulled back and looked down at her, staring at her in awe as he saw the tears forming in her eyes.

“Anni, are you … Baby, are you crying?” He was stupefied at the sudden turn of events. “Why are you crying?”

“Leon, you have to understand that Jeff was my one and only relationship in life. I never dated before him,” Annika revealed, and wiped away the stray tear that fell from her eye.

“Ever?” She shook her in response. “So, he was your first?” Annika nodded this time. “Your first everything?” She nodded again. “Oh, Doc. f**k, I’m so sorry. I was only teasing you. I didn’t mean to make you feel inferior or anything of that nature.”

“It’s not that I feel inferior, Leon. I feel like a newbie when it comes to relationships. My first relationship was also my first marriage, a failed one at that. To be honest, being with you is a huge gamble for me. I don’t know if I can say I love you the same way you love me. But I can definitively say that I have strong feelings for you. Why else would I have dropped everything and joined you on this trip? I want to be with you, but I need you to understand this is all new to me again. I was fourteen when Jeff and I met. I married him at 19, and now, at 27, I’m a divorcee. Well, soon-to-be at least.”

“Annika, I didn’t mean to make you feel like you couldn’t be yourself with me. The whole pet name thing isn’t even all that important to me. If you want to give me one, then I’ll gladly accept one from you, but if you don’t feel comfortable, then you call me by my name. At least you’ve finally stopped calling me Mr. Von Doren.” Annika sputtered a small laugh at his words. Leon cupped her cheeks again and lifted her face to look at him. He fixed his gaze on her and then slowly placed his forehead against hers. Annika intuitively closed her eyes and placed her hands on his wrists. “I love you, for you. I don’t care about your past or what kind of experiences you have in relationships. If something is new to you, then I’ll help you learn. I will not pressure you into anything that you don’t want. And I mean anything. I asked you to tag along with me because I couldn’t bear to be away from you for an entire week, not knowing when I’d be able to speak to you. With the time zone difference and us both working, it would have been damn near impossible. What we did on the jet earlier was also my way of showing you what I want, but I will never force you into anything. I only did all of that because you technically made the first move.”

“I did not!” Annika grumbled and tried to pull away, but Leon’s grip on her tightened, keeping her in place.

“Oh, but you did, Doc. You told me that you joined me because what I said to you in my texts turned you on,” he whispered to her as he closed the distance between them. Annika’s breath caught in her throat when she realized the mere mention of her being turned on actually turned her on. She subconsciously clenched her legs together, something that did not go unnoticed by Leon’s keen observation. “Hmmm … I see my words are making you fidget, Doc. Let’s do something about that, shall we?”

“Wha—?” Annika’s response was brought to an immediate halt when Leon’s hands left her face, landing on her waist instead. Before she knew it, she found herself being hoisted onto his lap with her legs on either side of him. “Leon!? What are you doing?!” she shrieked. “Toby is in the front seat!” she whisper-shouted at him and tried to remove herself from his lap.

“Toby is too busy driving to even care. Plus, this car has a barricade,” he insisted, and hit a button on the door panel.

“Leon, we can’t … We’re in the car!”

“So? The windows are fully tinted, and this part of the car is now soundproofed with the barricade up. Plus, we’re about an hour away from the hotel.”

“An hour?!”

“It’s rush hour right now.”

“Oh.” Annika bit her l*p when she realized she was hesitating less and less to Leon’s advances. Leon fluidly adjusted his body to slouch at an angle, his head leaning on the headrest behind him and his hands firmly on Annika’s h**s. He expertly ground her against his hardening member, recalling that Annika wasn’t wearing any undergarments.

“I want you to grind yourself against me, Doc. I want you to take control of this and make yourself c*m all over my slacks.”

“LEON!” Annika was so shaken at his blatant provocativeness that she tried to push herself away from him, but one of his hands grabbed the back of her head and pulled her into a fiery k**s that immediately took her breath away. Annika’s hands landed on his shoulders as she gripped his shirt with all her might. She felt her resolve fading away with every movement of his lips against hers. When he sensed that she was giving in, he cunningly thrust his h**s upwards into her core, eliciting a gasp from Annika. He took the opportunity to delve his tongue into her mouth, and they both simultaneously m****d while reveling in their desire for one another. Annika felt her lungs starting to burn and reluctantly broke away to get some much-needed oxygen in her lungs. But Leon wasn’t finished with her yet. He moved his k****s to her neck without missing a beat and began to suckle on her tender flesh, causing Annika to squirm with desire.

“That’s it, Doc. Move your h**s against me like that,” Leon cooed as Annika moved against him without even knowing what she was doing. Annika wasn’t a very s****l person. But then again, it wasn’t because she didn’t enjoy s*x. It was Jeffrey who had never made s*x enjoyable. He was often done before she could even reach an actual climax. More often than not, Annika had to masturbate to have an o****m. As a doctor, she knew the female o****m had a wealth of medical benefits. It was pretty sad when she thought about it. “Doc, where are you?” Leon grilled her, bringing her out of her thoughts.

“Huh?”

“Seriously? You’re getting distracted? Right now? While dry humping me?” Leon asked incredulously.

“I’m sorry. I was just … I’ve never done this before.”

“What? You mean dry humped?” She nodded her head bashfully. “Damn, what am I going to do with you, Doc?”

“Ummm … You could teach me?” Annika’s statement sounded more like a request, to which Leon quirked an eyebrow in satisfaction. He grabbed onto her h**s once again, slouched a little more, and raked up the skirt of her dress so that he could have a full view of her womanhood. Leon knew just by feeling her on the jet earlier that she was clean-shaven, and he couldn’t be more excited to feel her delicate folds grind against his full length. But for now, Leon would have to settle for this because he knew he couldn’t allow himself to end up with blue balls again.

“Hold onto my shoulders, Doc.” Annika nodded as she permitted him to take the lead—for now. Leon gently moved her h**s back and forth against him, then side to side, around in a circle, and then made her spell out the word ‘coconut.’ Leon had to stop several times to adjust himself in his slacks. “Oh f**k. Just like, Doc. Grind against me just like that. Pretend you’re riding this d**k.”

“Leon, this feels so good,” Annika vivaciously said as she leaned her head against his shoulder and moved her h**s, no longer requiring his guidance. “Leon, I want to see it,” she whispered and stopped moving.

“You what?”

“I want to see it,” she repeated and grasped him securely with one hand before noticing her feminine pre-cum had indeed soaked his slacks.

“Are you sure?”

“I think I should get an idea of what’s about to tear me apart at the hotel, don’t you?” Annika spoke seductively, her own eyes now filled with l**t for the man underneath her. She gently moved her lips against his in a very domineering yet gentle k**s as she quickly made use of his belt, button, and zipper. When she felt there was enough room for her hand to make way, she reached in and pulled out Leon’s fully erect phallus. She received the full look she had wanted and suddenly found herself zoning out at its size. She found herself questioning inwardly, Holy f*****g hell. Is it even possible for a man to be this … blessed!?

“You like?” Leon asked smugly, knowing full well himself that he was blessed down there. Annika met his eyes and nodded without saying another word. “Do you want it?” She nodded once more. “What do you want to do with it?”

“I think you know,” Annika retorted and started to move her h**s against him again. Leon’s eyes slammed shut from the sudden warmth of her lower folds as they began to incase him in utter pleasure.

“No … I … f**k … I don’t,” he mustered out with difficulty and started to keep her steady as she was feeling the pleasure arising within her. Annika’s lower abdomen started to tighten, and her moves began to quicken.

“I want it,” she breathed into him and started to move against him more, fervently chasing her high.

“At the hotel,” Leon replied and started to press her down, so the friction between them intensified.

“Leon, oh my …” She gasped when she felt her climax was near the brink of explosion. “Leon, I think I’m …”

“c*m for me, Doc,” he g*****d and slammed his lips against her, moving her even faster. The pressure and friction from grinding their bodies together made Annika reach her climax, and she started to shudder against Leon. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on for dear life as she felt the wetness drip from her most sacred area onto Leon and his own release spurting between them.

As they both waited for the high of their o*****s to pass, they breathed heavily into their k**s and slowly started to part ways. Annika rested her forehead against Leon’s, and when their eyes met, Annika kissed him once more. She refused to let him go, even though they had finally caught their breaths and were no longer panting messes.

“Damn, that was f*****g amazing,” Leon finally said as he gently put his now soft member back into his pants. He reached over to the door panel and pulled out some wet wipes, cleaning himself off along with Annika.

“Oh, my goodness, I really got your pants soaked,” she mumbled once she caught wind of the mess she had made all over him.

“That’s okay. I wanted you to, remember?” Leon smirked and gently wiped away the remnants of her o****m off his clothing.

“Oh, God. I can’t believe we just did that,” she giggled and lifted herself off of him while adjusting her dress accordingly.

“Wait until we get checked into our room, Doc,” he retorted, and pulled her legs over his as his hand swiftly went straight for her p***y again.

“LEON!” She tried to grab his wrist, fully aware of what he was attempting to do.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you c*m again just yet. But I want to feel just how wet you still are,” he smirked and inserted his middle finger into her, flicking her g-spot several times and her eyes rolled slightly before quickly pulling out and tasting her. “Mmmm … I can’t wait to bury my face into your p***y, baby,” Leon said without any adverseness. Annika gaped at him and bit her bottom l*p. “What?”

“I … Uh …” Annika stuttered, unsure of how to voice out her current concern.

“Hold on … Have you never?” Leon questioned, and Annika shook her head. “What the f**k? Did you even have a s*x life with that tool!?” Leon was aghast, hearing that the woman whom he loved so much had been so sexually deprived.

“Like I said … I’m new to a lot of things,” she muttered under breath. Though Leon wanted to break Jeffrey’s neck for depriving such a beautiful and fine woman of so much, he was somewhat happy because he would be the one to show her exactly what Jeffrey couldn’t.

“There is so much I must teach you, Doc. And trust me, when I say you’re going to want to take notes.”

“I’m a quick study.”

“I do not doubt that, but fair warning, when I’m done with my lessons, your brain may not function properly for a few hours.”

“That’s your opinion.”

“No, baby. That’s a f*****g fact. And I’ll prove it to you.”

“When?”

“Right now.” Annika furrowed her brows, under the impression that he was going to f**k her in the car, but then she felt the car come to a halt and heard the front door open and close. She glanced out the window and found that they had arrived at the hotel. “Get out of the car, Doc. I’m going to show you exactly how a man is supposed to pleasure a woman. Then you’re going to pleasure me like we agreed upon in the jet. Then, once you’re ready and nimble, I’m going to f**k you like you’ve never been f****d before.” Before Annika could even process everything Leon had just said, he opened the door, grabbed her hand, and dragged her into the hotel.

Normally, if someone had been this aggressive with her, Annika would freak out and start to panic, yet she found herself unable to contain her excitement.

Holy mother of God, what have I gotten myself into?
