Chapter Twenty-Nine
MAX
“Surprise!” I say when Cari opens the door, only it’s not Cari but her roommate, Hazel.
“Surprise indeed.” Hazel laughs. “Come on in, I think she’s in the shower if you wanna wait.”
“Thanks.” I sidestep her, awkwardly going in.
“Cari! Max is here!” Hazel calls through the door with a few light knocks. “I have to get to work, but feel free to hang out.”
Hazel leaves, and I feel a bit awkward not texting and asking if I could come over first. A few minutes later, in a long t-shirt and a towel on her head Cari comes out of her bedroom.
“Surprise!” I try again.
“Hey, I didn’t know you were coming.” She gives me a hug and a quick kiss. Her breath smells like spearmint toothpaste.
“That’s what a surprise is, I thought we could have a day together since we’ve both been busy.” I smile.
“Oh.” Her face falls. “I’m sorry…”
“If you already have plans, it’s okay. I honestly should’ve called first.”
“No, no! I just have therapy in like five minutes. Would you be okay waiting? Then I’m free the rest of the day,” she explains.
“Are you sure?”
“Of course.” She nods. “Just put the TV on or something and when I’m done I’ll come right out. But have a snack, a drink, make yourself at home.” She smiles.
“Okay.” I nod, give her a quick kiss and watch as she disappears back into her bedroom.
I click on the TV, wishing I had brought my headphones, and slump into the couch.
There’s not much on, but I know it’s just for the noise, so I raise the volume.
I glance around the room, deciding to grab a drink from the fridge, and see if I can do some dishes or something more helpful.
It feels silly just sitting there and waiting.
There weren’t any dishes, but on the fridge was a to-do list, and right on top was ‘pick up meds’.
I’ve seen Cari pick them up from the place just around the corner, so I decide to go pick them up for her.
I grab the keys Cari has hanging by the front door.
I didn’t want to leave her in here alone with the door unlocked.
Even if it was the middle of the day. I head down the block, using the map on my phone to direct me to the pharmacy.
I decide to grab her a sweet treat, too, seeing cherry flavored gummy bears by the counter.
Thankfully, I just need the last four digits of her phone number and her last name.
It’s actually a little scary, shouldn’t people need more information to pick up someone’s prescription?
I mean, it isn’t like she’s on narcotics, but still.
I take a loop down the block and back just to kill a little time.
Then I head back to her apartment and sit on the couch.
Her snack and meds are waiting on the counter for her.
Twelve minutes later—yes, I’ve counted—she emerges from the bedroom with a smile.
“Hi.” She bends over to kiss me and glances at the TV. “You’re watching Animal Planet?” she asks, eyeing the monkeys about to do it.
“Uh no, I actually took a little walk. Borrowed your keys, I hope that’s okay.” I nod to them hanging back on the hook.
“Oh, yeah, no problem. Guess I could’ve talked shit about you then,” she teases. “Wait, did Hazel leave that out?” Cari asks, looking at the stuff on the counter.
“No, I hope it’s okay. I saw your to-do list, so I stopped by the pharmacy, and I thought you might want an after-therapy treat, so I got the candy too,” I explain.
“That’s so sweet.” She smiles. “I guess I’ll have to think of some way to repay you.”
I thought she was talking about paying me back for the candy, so I’m about to say no when she climbs on my lap and straddles me. She grinds her ass on my lap and I groan, watching as she leans in and kisses the side of my neck.
“Well, it was very expensive. I’m not sure how you plan to pay me back.” I smirk.
“Hmm, I think maybe I can come up with something,” Cari whispers in a sultry tone as she bites the bottom of my ear.
“Fuck,” I mumble, her lips connecting with my skin. She’s nibbling and sucking, probably leaving behind hickies. I’ll have to ask her to hide them before work tomorrow. She’s always had a thing about marking me up.
Cari leans back, pulling on the bottom of her t-shirt and over her head, tossing it to the side.
Her breasts spring free and I internally groan.
God, her breasts alone make me so fucking hot for her.
She presses her body against me, going back to kissing my neck.
I grip her long, blonde hair and tug it back so she looks at me.
Her sticky pink glossed lips pout as I look into her blue eyes.
“Let me lie down, then I want you on my face. It’s been too long since you’ve sat on your throne,” I command.
“Really?” She bites her bottom lip, looking at me excitedly.
“Fuck, please.” I nod.
“But how is this letting me pay you back?” She raises an eyebrow.
“Because I get to see my sexy girlfriend ride my face, and taste my favorite meal. I’m definitely the one getting paid here.” I wink.
Cari jumps up, letting me lie back on the couch.
I toss aside the extra pillows, and Cari walks over to the arm of the couch before straddling my head.
She positions her pussy over my mouth, and I groan seeing it up close again.
It really is so fucking sexy. Her pink lips glistening with desire, her clit swollen and begging to be touched.
Cari grips the couch before I grab her thighs and pull her pussy down to my face.
She moans as I start licking her pussy and teasing her clit with my tongue.
I look up, watching her body bounce on top of me.
Cari is rocking her hips back and forth, my flattened tongue gliding up and down her folds.
She’s so wet, this could be a waterfall.
She moans as she grabs her breasts and starts playing with her nipples, tugging and pulling while grabbing the rest of them.
Her belly bounces with her boobs, her eyes are closed with pleasure as I lick her.
Her body looks so fucking good rocking back and forth.
I don’t know how anyone could not like being with women like this.
Because if I could spend every day like this, I would.
Just seeing her full of pleasure and her body so intimately.
God, she is so fucking beautiful. I know she knows it, but I would have to tell her later.
I’m not going to stop now, that’s something that could wait.
“Yes! Oh, Honey, I’m melting for you,” she whimpers above me in little cries.
“Mmm,” I hum into her clit, causing a vibration through her pussy.
“Honey, please,” she begs.
I look up, watching her desperately chasing her orgasm.
As much as I want to tease her, I decide to help.
I suck on her clit, flicking my tongue over and over the sensitive bud.
She starts moaning. Some of it is my name, some of it is inaudible.
I don’t want to ever stop; hearing her is like music to my ears.
God, how can she be so fucking sexy? I press my thighs together, hoping to alleviate some of my desire, too. She gets me so fucking wet it’s crazy.
“Oh, Max!” Cari cries, and her pussy convulses. I don’t let up, sucking her clit and feeling it drip her sweetness over my lips.
“Oh my God,” Cari says breathlessly, sliding off my face and standing up. “We need to go to the bedroom because I’m so wet it’s going to ruin the couch,” she says looking down at me.
I don’t respond, jumping up and taking her hand, following her to the bedroom. I strip down to nothing and Cari comes up behind me, pushing me against the bedroom door.
“I wish I had a mirror here for us because I want to be able to see us fuck in every position,” Cari says, leaning in, kissing my neck.
She sucks on it lightly and wraps her hand around my throat. Pushing on the right spots to drive me absolutely wild for her. Fuck. I’m not going to get through this. I’m like a teenage boy when it comes to her. I couldn’t hold off if I wanted to.
Cari slides her hand down my chest, only stopping to flick my nipple piercings before stopping at my pussy.
She runs two fingers through my slick folds and groans.
I grip the side of her arm to keep my balance, and she smirks.
Holding eye contact with me, her hand on my throat, the other starts sliding inside me.
“Mmm, Honey, you’re so wet for me. You like watching me ride your face?” Cari asks in a low, sultry voice.
“Fuck, yes,” I mutter.
“I can tell how much.” She slides a second finger inside, pumping it in and out of me.
I grip her arm tighter, my legs starting to feel weak. Clearly, I’ll have to start going to the gym again if I am going to keep up with her sexually. She smirks as she squeezes my throat a little harder, and my vision starts to go fuzzy.
“Don’t fucking stop,” I beg as she moves her hand.
Her thumb brushes my clit, and I’m screaming a string of curse words while she watches me come.
When I’m finished, I let go of her arm and she slides her fingers out of me carefully.
She pulls them up to her lips, shiny with my wetness, and slips them into her mouth one at a time.
She moans loudly, humming as she sucks each one clean.
“God, you taste so fucking good,” she says.
It might very well be the post orgasm brain, but I think I love her.
I don’t want to say it and ruin this very sexy moment, but I know I am falling in love with her.
Cari lets me be myself, even at my worst version she still cared for me.
And I know I am going to do everything I possibly can to keep her.
“Come on, I’ll get you some water.” She leads me to her bed to sit and brings me a cup of water. I sip it gingerly and hand it back.
We both slide back into the bed, and she pulls me into her arms.
“I thought I was just bad at love, but maybe I didn’t have the right person before now,” I say.
“Maybe you had me, but our timing was off too.” Cari winks.
“That definitely sounds right. I’m glad you gave me a second chance. I’d be beating myself up over it for the next decade if you didn’t,” I admit.
“I’m just glad you pulled your head out of your ass and admitted your feelings for me. It was hard being right about something when you kept saying no,” she teases.
“Hey, what can I say? I was scared, and I needed some time to grow up a little. Ben kicked my ass into shape; we owe him more than my copay,” I joke.
“Shirley, too. We should be able to tip therapists. They work harder than bartenders, and I don’t even know how much they make.” Cari agrees, picking up her lipgloss and reapplying it.
“Maybe we’ll invite them to the wedding.”
Cari gasps. “Did Max Montgomery just joke about marriage?!”
“Maybe I did.” I shrug.
“Wow, maybe we aren’t so bad at love after all,” Cari says, and I lean in to kiss her freshly glossed lips.
