Chapter one #4
“So, you save furry lives during the day, but what about after you leave the animal hospital? What keeps you entertained then?” Cashlynn takes a sip of her drink as we continue to sail across the sky.
“Mostly, I just work out, read, or watch TV. I live a pretty simple life.”
“That sounds boring.”
“What did you expect? That I jump out of airplanes for fun?”
She shakes her head. “No… I guess I just figured you were more of a social guy.”
I scoff. “Yeah, well, the only people I can stand to socialize with these days are my family and a few close friends. Sometimes, even that’s pushing it.”
“I guess that’s normal for a small town, right?”
“I mean, Carrington Cove is more of a tourist town, so there are people to meet and places to go, but that’s not really my scene.” I shrug. “Never has been.”
“So meeting strangers and offering to hold their hands isn’t your usual M.O.?”
I look Cashlynn dead in the eye when I say, “Not at all. This is a first for me.”
She licks her lips, her eyes lingering on mine. “Me too.”
“So if flying weren’t an obstacle, where would you want to travel?”
Cashlynn hums as she thinks, and waiting to hear what she says next has become the most unexpected form of entertainment on this flight. “Greece, Egypt, and France.”
“Nice choices. Why those specific places?”
“The water in Greece seems unreal, so I feel like I need to see it to believe it. Egypt’s history has always fascinated me. And France for the art.”
I glance down at our intertwined fingers, stroking the top of her hand again. “So, you do paint…”
“Uh, yeah…you could say that.”
“What do you paint?”
“Mostly scenery, sometimes abstracts. I’m more of a mood painter, so I let my brain tell me what to create.”
“Have you always been artistic?”
“Yeah. My mom was big into creating art, so I guess I got it from her.”
“My mom is a fantastic cook, and luckily, she handed that talent down to me.”
Cashlynn smirks at me. “Okay, now you’re just not playing fair. You’re a handsome doctor who wears glasses and you can cook?”
My eyebrows shoot up. “The glasses do something for you, huh?”
She nods slowly. “Apparently so. I think they up your sophistication factor. But then I remember that you made me play rock, paper, scissors, and I’m confused.”
Chuckling, I ask, “Why confused?”
“I don’t know. You seemed irritated when you first sat down, like there was this cloud hanging over you.” Fuck, she had you pegged from the beginning, Parker. “But you’ve surprised me.”
I look away from her, not sure how I feel about her accurate assessment. If a complete stranger could pick up on my foul mood that easily, that’s telling. I’ve walked around with this chip on my shoulder for four years, so it’s not that easy to get rid of.
But this woman makes you feel more at ease, doesn’t she?
I swallow hard and Cashlynn’s eyes dart down to my throat as I do. “Do you happen to be free tonight?” I ask, surprising myself but going with this gut feeling to step outside the box for a change.
She tilts her head curiously. “Yes.”
“Good. Because I think you could probably use a drink after this flight, and I’d love to buy you one, if you’re interested.”
“Um…” She bites her bottom lip in contemplation.
“No pressure. But if you’re unsure, we could always play rock, paper, scissors again…”
She licks her lips, smirking. “I actually think a drink is exactly what I need.”
***
“Fuck,” I hiss as I deepen the kiss, pulling Cashlynn closer. I bury one hand in her silky blonde hair while the other squeezes her hip as I draw her closer to my chest.
Suddenly, she pushes me away, her eyes wide and chest heaving, with her hand still firmly planted on my pec as we both struggle for air.
“What floor is your room on?” she asks breathlessly.
“Eleven.”
“Take me there.”
We abandon our drinks as I take Cashlynn’s hand and lead her through the hotel bar to the nearest elevator, hoping no one notices the outline of my cock in my pants. Once we’re inside—alone, thank God—I press her up against the wall and bury my hands in her silky strands again.
“Parker…”
“Fuck, Cashlynn. You’re sure you want this?”
“Hell yes. Fuck me, Parker. I need it.”
I move my mouth down to her neck, kissing and nibbling the skin there as I squeeze her ass in my hands, bringing her hips to collide with my torso so she can feel how much I want her. “You’re so fucking gorgeous. You feel what you do to me?”
She pulls my mouth back to hers, kissing me desperately until the elevator dings, signaling our arrival on my floor.
With her hand in mine, I lead her down the hall, pass the key card over the sensor, and push the door open just enough for us to slip inside before our hands and lips are back on each other.
When I sat next to a random stranger on that plane today, I never imagined this would be how our night ended. But all it took was one drink for us to realize what we both wanted—and now that my body is primed for what comes next, I’m definitely not complaining.
Cashlynn pushes me up against the door and then drops to her knees, her eyes locked on mine the entire time. Those amber eyes are silently making promises as she pops the button on my pants and yanks down my zipper.
“Fuck.”
“I can’t wait to taste you, feel you in the back of my throat.” Her words make my dick even harder as she pushes my jeans down along with my briefs and wraps her tiny hands around my aching cock. “God, you’re thick,” she says before licking me from base to tip.
“Jesus, Cashlynn.” My hand finds the top of her head as her mouth envelops me, taking me as deep as she can before sucking me back out.
With fascination, I watch her bob up and down on my cock, dragging her tongue along my length, swirling her tongue around my crown, and repeating the process over and over again.
I love how eager she is, not letting up even as I hear her gag when I hit the back of her throat.
Who knew that showing kindness to a stranger would lead to one of the best blowjobs of my life? This is so much better than watching Bridgerton.
“Shit,” I grate out as she sucks in her cheeks and pulls me in and out even more rapidly. “You’re gonna make me come if you keep doing that.”
She immediately releases me with a pop and stands back up. “We can’t have that yet now, can we?”
I pull her mouth to mine and back her into the room with my pants still down around my ankles. I help her out of her coat and rip her shirt up over her head, tossing it to the side, revealing a deep emerald lace bra containing her perky and fucking perfectly sized breasts.
But it’s her ass that I’m dying to see, preferably with my handprint on it soon. The moment she stood up on the plane, revealing those beautiful curves, I nearly drooled as I followed her down the aisle. She’s so fucking sexy and my heart is thrashing at the idea of claiming her.
“Get naked, beautiful.”
We don’t take our eyes off each other as shoes, pants, and underwear hit the floor. Finally, we’re both standing bare, mere inches apart, waiting for the other to make the first move.
My eyes roam all over her body, memorizing the dip in her waist, her rosy nipples, the trimmed pubic hair above her pussy, and those thick thighs I can’t wait to feel wrapped around me.
She eyes me appreciatively before stepping up to me and running her nails up and down my stomach, tracing the V of my hips. “God, your body. You must work out a lot.”
I chuckle. “I try.”
She nods, licking her lips. “Your effort is appreciated.”
I whip my glasses from my face and set them down on the dresser. With my hand stroking my cock, I nod toward the bed. “Lie down.”
Cashlynn doesn’t speak as she moves to the bed, our eyes locked on one another, crawling up toward the pillows as I reach down to my pants and take out the just-in-case condom from my wallet.
I toss the condom onto the bed and begin crawling forward, making my way closer to this woman and the sweet heaven between her legs. I dip my head down toward her pussy, pushing her thighs open with my shoulders to expose her to me, and Cashlynn doesn’t even hesitate.
“Lick me, Parker.”
Jesus. This woman is something else.
“With pleasure,” I mumble against her inner thigh before dragging my tongue through her slit, tasting her sweetness that only intensifies my need for her.
“God, that feels good,” she moans as I keep licking her, flicking my tongue back and forth over her clit and sucking the little bud between my lips. “Parker…yes…right there…” Cashlynn guides me to where she needs me most and then stuns me by saying, “Put your fingers inside of me…please.”
I suck two fingers in my mouth, then slowly push them inside, watching her pussy stretch around me and suck me in as I stroke her G-spot. God, it’s so hot, so carnal, so out of this world that my dick twitches as I go back to sucking her clit and finger fucking her until I know she’s close.
This woman is unraveling me and I couldn’t even stop it if I tried.
Her confidence is sexy as hell, her sounds are like a soundtrack I didn’t know I was missing from my life, and feeling her tighten around my fingers makes me feel like the luckiest fucking man on the planet—that this woman is giving herself over freely to me.
Fuck, I’m already addicted and I haven’t even been inside her yet.
“Oh, God…right there. Yes, Parker!” On a scream, Cashlynn comes all over my hand, soaking my fingers with her release and bucking herself against my mouth, seeking out the pressure and friction that she needs.
When her body collapses on the bed, I kiss her inner thighs and tease her clit again with my tongue as I reach for the condom. I tear it open, covering myself as I move to hover over her.
Her eyes snap open, meeting mine before she pulls me down to her, swirling her tongue against mine and opening up her legs so I can slide right inside her. It takes a few thrusts, but when I bottom out, we groan simultaneously.
“Jesus, you’re tight,” I manage to grate out as her pussy squeezes and sucks me in.
“It’s been… a while,” she moans as I thrust in and out of her.
“Me too. Fuck, Cashlynn. Suck me in, baby.” I lift her leg up and wrap it around my hip so I can slide in deeper, making us both moan.
“Keep going, Parker. Harder.”
The bed slams against the wall with each thrust as I pound into her.
For a second, I contemplate our neighbors on the other side, but the thought is fleeting as I feel Cashlynn tighten around me.
Her nails dig into my back as I suck and nibble along her neck, moving down to her breasts and sucking one of her nipples into my mouth, making her moan louder.
She moves her hand down to her clit, circling her bundle of nerves as I pick up my pace, helping her get there.
“Yes, yes…God, yes!” Cashlynn comes again, and watching her beneath me, tossing her head back as her release overtakes her has me finding my own orgasm at the same time.
Completely spent, I roll to her side as we both come down from the high. I lie on my side, facing her, tracing along her collarbone while her eyes remain closed.
I wonder if she’s up for a long night of fucking… After having her once, I know without a doubt I want her again.
But before I can say anything, her eyes pop open and she launches herself from the bed, rushing to find her clothes.
What the fuck?
“Uh, is everything okay?” I ask as I watch her naked form dart around the room.
“Yup!” she replies, about two octaves higher than her normal tone, avoiding my eyes.
“You sure?” My dick is still half hard and this woman is acting like there’s a fire in the building. Was the sex not satisfying for her? I mean, she sounded like she was enjoying it. Hell, if she was faking it then she must be one hell of an actress.
“Everything is perfect, Parker. I just…I need to get going, okay?” I watch as she puts her clothes back on before I can even process anything, and then she’s grabbing her purse and heading for the door.
I jump from the bed, intent on chasing her, but then I think better of it.
That’s all this was supposed to be, right? No strings attached sex.
Then why do I feel this overwhelming need to convince her to stay?
“Thanks for the orgasms,” she says over her shoulder, taking one last peek at my dick with a smirk before stepping out of the hotel room.
I’m left standing there in nothing but my birthday suit, wondering if this is all I should have hoped for—if this is what the rest of my life will be like since I’ve sworn not to fall for anyone ever again.
Little did I know that seeing Cashlynn again was inevitable—and that when I did, I’d be wishing I never gave in to my attraction to her at all.
