Thread: Enough is Enough (Skye Pilot & TortoiseShell)

After he had watched the rather entertaining movie, Micah was already several glasses of wine into the bottle. He did tend to have a rather high tolerance, and since the wine itself did not have a very high alcohol content, all he had was a rather mild buzz. Pouring a third glass after the movie had come to a close, Micah stood up from his chair, flipping through the nearby shelf of Dvd??s and Blu-ray discs. Picking out the newest Star Trek movie, he put it into the player. Waiting for it to get past all the mandatory, previews and un-skippable messages about pirating movies, he wandered to the front of the mansion. Flipping a few switches by the door, he turned on the front lights to the house, and those in the foyer, wanting to give Desiree and James the knowledge that Micah may very well be watching for the instant the finally got home. Passing through the kitchen on his way back to the living room, he picked up a slight snack. In the fridge, the cook had a small platter of deli meats, various cheeses, and crackers. Taking a small selection onto his own plate, Micah went back into the living room, shutting off the lights to watch the spectacular movie. The volume was up rather loud, so even his attuned ears would not be able to hear the car pull up. Besides, he had never expected them to be home quite this early. Hearing Desiree??s familiar voice break through the air, he paused the movie. Looking over, all he could see was the silhouette of her sexy figure, the light in the hallway behind her making it so her body was cast in the shadows of the living room. ??Desiree?? He asked, standing up, and brushing a few crumbs from himself. Looking to his watch, she was still two and a half hours early. ??You??re home early? Is everything ok?? he asked with concern in his voice, hoping that nothing terrible had happened that evening. Going over to the entrance of the living room where his step daughter stood, he turned the lights on a low setting, not wanting to get stunned by the light, since he had been in the dark watching movies all evening. Illuminating her face, Micah could see the slight bit of disappointment she wore on her face, but at least she didn??t look like she had been dumped, or cheating on. It more or less expressed the night had been a bust. Still though, he figured Desiree and James would have stayed out until the very last minute, given such a late curfew. Wrapping his strong arms around her small waist, Micah pulled the girl close in a warm embrace, knowing that by the look on her face she needed a little cheering up. With the hug, Micah could feel her entire warm and soft body press up against his figure, the sensation of it nearly making him melt. That, mixed in with the fruity and exotics scents of shampoo and hair, stirred up those hungry emotions for his step-daughter once more. Combined with the recent sips of his adult beverage, it was all starting to become too much for him to handle for very much longer. Pulling away from their embrace, Micah took her hand with a smile. Guiding her over to the couch, he offered for her to sit. ??Care to tell me what happened?? he asked, knowing something major must have occurred if she was home so early this evening. Before he sat down next to Desiree though, he went back to the recliner, taking his wine glass in one hand, and the bottle in the other. Putting the glass down on the top of the coffee with the slight clink of glass meeting glass, Micah popped the cork from the bottle, topping off the partially sipped drink. Setting the bottle with cork in place on the floor, he nudged the glass over to her, giving a slight wink to let her know he would be fine if she indulged herself. He had let her drink in the confines of the house before, during holidays and family gatherings, but never when he was hosting one of the parties. Micah figured it would be too much of a risk to allow that, especially after she had told him of the flirting and touching that had happened during them. Finally, he sat down on the large, soft, leather couch next to her, tilting a little so they could have their conversation. Before Desiree could explain what was going on, Micah felt the need to start. ??So, obviously, I didn??t have a party after all,? He smiled, slowly draping his arm about the girls slim shoulders, letting her relax and lean against him. ??I thought about a small gathering shortly after you left, but I really do get enough of those people during work,? He chuckled. ??Besides, I don??t ever seem to have much time just to myself, so I watched a couple movies, as you can see,? Micah said, looking up to the paused movie, a perfect image of the Enterprise up on the screen, looking almost like a painting. ??We can finish it, if you are in the mood,? he continued to say, then looked at Desiree sweetly. ??But first, your turn. What happened? And why didn??t you and James go find a little corner of the world to go make out in?? he asked, rather teasingly of course, mostly just to see how she would react. In reality, there were plenty of spots on the property they could have gone to. Plenty of woods, or down to the beach. Even more so, there were ways to get to those spots without even coming near the house, so Micah would have not known any better.
