Chapter 17
CARTER
I slid my hand down from her hair to her neck, and then to her breasts. She arched into my touch, moaning in my mouth. She was beautiful, all worked up like this for me. I slid my hand even lower and rubbed two fingers over her pussy, from her clit down to her entrance.
She moaned louder, gripping at my shirt with both hands when I removed her towel completely.
I was going to make this woman come. I wanted to give her so much pleasure that I’d rock her world.
She opened her thighs wider, allowing me access.
I rubbed up and down her opening, alternating between touching her clit and teasing her inner thighs, working her up.
And all the while, I couldn’t stop kissing her.
I wanted to watch her beautiful face, but I needed to taste her.
When I slid one finger inside her, Val’s entire body shook.
Then she unhitched her mouth from mine just for a few seconds, long enough to say, “Another one. Pleaaaase.”
I thought I might burst in my pants. I kissed her again, sliding in a second finger, and then we were both out of control.
I moved my fingers in and out, curving them to hit her sweet spot, stroking her clit with my thumb.
This wasn’t enough. I couldn’t touch her the way I wanted in this position.
I couldn’t taste her. So I withdrew my hand, laughing when she closed her thighs to try and trap me there.
“Come closer, baby. I want to taste you.”
She let out a small whimper as I pulled her to the edge of the armchair. I was on my knees and placed her thighs on my shoulders. When I pressed my tongue against her sensitive flesh, she cried out my name.
“Carter! Oh, fuck.”
I was shaking with need while I pushed my tongue inside, twirling it, driving her crazy.
I’d worked her up so well that she wouldn’t last long.
When I felt that she was close, I moved my mouth to her clit, sliding two fingers inside her again, curving them.
She exploded beautifully, and I went up to pull her close and hold her as she rode the waves of pleasure.
I rocked her in my arms, inhaling the fruity scent of her hair, caressing the soft skin on her shoulders.
Then she traced a straight line with her finger along my shirt buttons, stopping at my belt. She unfastened it and lowered my zipper, freeing my cock.
“Baby,” I whispered as she stroked my erection once, then took me in her mouth. I didn’t last long either. I’d wanted her for so long that I tipped past the edge within minutes.
“You’re gorgeous,” I whispered when she reached for her towel, which I’d dropped to the floor. “Allow me.”
I took the towel from her and patted her skin, starting from her ankles, all the way up.
“My skin is not dry enough for you?” she asked with a smirk. She didn’t have one drop of water on her.
“Nope.”
I took a detour when I reached her inner thighs, licking once across her center. Then another detour when I was drying off her breasts, pulling each nipple in my mouth. I was getting hard again.
All I wanted to do was flip her around and bend her over. But I didn’t know if she was ready for all that yet.
“Let’s go downstairs,” I suggested while I was kissing her neck.
“I don’t like that idea.” A second later, I registered that she was unbuttoning my shirt.
“Val, baby….”
I straightened up to look at her, and those beautiful green eyes were full of desire.
I slid my hands to cup her ass and lifted her in my arms. She whimpered with anticipation as she wrapped her long legs around me.
I carried her to the bed, lowering her on it.
I could hardly hear anything past the thumping in my ears.
I wanted this woman more than I’d ever wanted anything.
When I lowered her on the bed, she attempted to close her knees.
“No, stay like this. Spread wide for me. I want to watch you while I take off my clothes.”
Her eyes flared, but she kept her legs where they were. I’d never gotten naked faster. Then I remembered one small detail….
“My wallet is downstairs. I have a condom there.”
Val licked her lips. “I’m on the pill, and I’m healthy.”
I leaned on the bed over her, feathering my lips on her jaw. “I’m healthy too, but…baby, you want me bare inside you?”
She nodded, and I wrapped her in my arms, kissing her.
Our release just before had been satisfying but quick.
I wanted this to last. I kissed down her collarbone, then I flipped her onto her belly, touching my lips to her spine until I reached her tailbone.
She moaned when I kissed her right ass cheek, covering the left one with my palm before I pushed a finger inside her.
She was wet and ready, but I wanted to drive her crazy with anticipation first, so I flipped her around again and skimmed my lips right over her pussy. Then I gave her my tongue.
I held her pelvis up at the angle I needed it, making her dig her heels deep into the mattress and grope at the sheets.
I was lying flat on my front, and my cock was wedged between my body and the mattress.
It was almost painful. When her breathing became too labored, I turned to explore the rest of her body.
Her inner thighs, her breasts, until our faces were level.
She looked at me as if I was everything to her. I kissed her deeply while I positioned my erection between her thighs. Val moaned when I gave her the tip.
Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.
There was no feeling in the world comparable to being inside this woman, to feeling her snug around me without any barriers.
I pushed inside inch by inch, watching her beautiful face crumple with pleasure.
She opened up her thighs wider, drawing her knees up.
I drove into her, my pelvis pushing against hers.
We were both relentless, chasing our release.
But when I felt I was too close, I pulled out, bringing my lips to her ear.
“On your hands and knees.”
Val complied, and through a haze of lust, she turned.
I kneaded her ass cheeks, kissing up her back as I slid inside her, fast and hard.
I had easy access to her clit in this position, and I circled it, spurring her to tremors.
Then she moved her hands from the bed to grip the headboard.
She had better leverage like this, and she slammed into me with the same hunger I was pushing inside her.
Her arms were trembling slightly, as if her body couldn’t take any more pleasure.
When she started clenching around me, calling out my name, I was completely done for.
I came hard, holding on to her. Her legs shook even after she climaxed, and I cocooned my body around hers, propping my thighs outside hers, keeping an arm around her waist and my chest pressed against her back.
I was kissing what I could reach of her neck, needing as much contact as possible.
“Are you okay, beautiful?”
Her breath was ragged, but she chuckled. “I’m still recovering.”
After we showered, she wrapped a towel around herself.
“Oh, hell, no. You are putting on actual clothes.”
“Or what?”
“Or I’ll eat you instead of dinner.”
She grinned. “I don’t think I’d mind.”
“Come on, tempting girl. Put on some clothes.”
Pouting, she complied, heading to her bedroom.
“I don’t have a T-shirt big enough for you,” she called. “But if you want to walk around shirtless, I won’t mind.”
“Should I just not put on clothes at all?”
“You won’t hear me complain about that.”
I didn’t put my shirt on in the end, because I needed to let it dry. Watching Val peek at me while we were bustling about the kitchen gave me a lot of satisfaction. For once, she was the one at a disadvantage.
“You were singing earlier,” she commented.
“Really? I didn’t notice.” I didn’t usually sing, Val had this effect on me—I was extremely relaxed and also extremely turned on around her. Val arranged the sandwiches I’d made on two plates at the counter.
I massaged her shoulder blades, partly because they were still a bit hunched, and partly because I couldn’t keep my hands off her.
“You’re still a little tense.”
“Yeah.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“Not really. My lawyer will handle it. I’ve discussed all the options with him; I had just hoped it wouldn’t come to it.”
“How good is he?”
“My lawyer?”
“Yes.”
“He’s one of the best.” She gave me his name, and I wasn’t too happy. He was good, but I was better.
“What if I took your case?”
She turned around, her eyes widening before she shook her head. “No, that’s not a good idea.”
“Why not? I’m a very good lawyer—”
“I don’t doubt that, but I think it’s smarter to separate our professional and personal lives.”
She looked down, and I got the hint. In case things between us didn’t work out, it was easier if we kept the two spheres separate. I understood the message. A vein pulsed in my temple. I didn’t like it one bit, but I understood it.
“Val, I want to be honest with you. Whenever I’m with you, it just feels surreal.
This past week, I’ve thought more about you than anything else.
I know my life isn’t easy, but I’d like for us to enjoy this between us.
As I said before, without expectations. You said you want to take things easy and I respect that. ”
Her eyes searched mine for a few seconds.
I could give her what she wanted. Easy fit well in the whirlwind of obligations that was my life.
Being in this woman’s house, surrounded by her, gave me a glimpse of who she was.
Her warmth reached all the way inside me, and I felt alive in a way I hadn’t before.
When she rose on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to mine, I swear something melted inside of me.
“Hell, yes. Now come on, mister. Show me your massage talents.”
She laughed as I carried the plates to the table.
“You’re doubting me?”
“Not at all. I know some of your other talents, and I can’t wait to discover all of them.”
To prove her wrong, I stood behind her as she ate the second sandwich, working the pressure points of her neck and shoulders.
“Oh, this is so good. Dinner, and your hands. Aren’t you hungry?”
I brought my mouth to her ear. “Not for food, no.”
She sucked in a deep breath, pressing her thighs together.
“Well, I think you should eat anyway.”
“Why, are my hands distracting you?”
“Maybe.”
“Impressed with my massage skills, I take it?”
She sighed. “Yes, yes I am. What other skills do you possess? Just so I’m prepared.”
“I’ll keep them a secret for now.”
“Wait a second, you’ve been inside me and you’re gonna keep secrets?”
I sat next to her, playing with a few strands of her hair. “Before I divulge anything, I need to be inside you a couple more times. See your beautiful face when I make you come.”
She swallowed, and I nearly boosted her up on the table.
My appetite for this woman was insatiable.
I kissed her exposed shoulders, moving from one to the other, enjoying how it made her squirm.
We chatted leisurely during dinner, and after we were done, we moved to her couch.
I pulled her feet into my lap, massaging her arches.
“I’m going to make dessert,” she said after a while, half rising from the couch before I pulled her back and she plopped right into my lap.
“Val, come here.”
“Why?”
“I want to hold you for a bit.” I inhaled her sweet scent, touching her neck with the tip of my nose. “I’m glad you’ve agreed to bring me here with you tonight.”
“As I recall, I didn’t have much of a choice.”
“I forgot that detail.” I smiled, kissing her jaw, then her earlobe.
After I let her go, she skidded to the kitchen, whipping up a smoothie that tasted delicious.
I couldn’t stop touching her no matter what she did.
So when we returned to the couch, I pulled her right in my lap again.
Her thighs were at my sides, and I nibbled on her neck.
“What are you doing?” she inquired.
“I’m about to thank you for the dessert.” I kissed her collarbone, then pushed her strapless dress down, to have access to her breasts. When I sucked a nipple in my mouth, she rewarded me with a delicious moan.
“And how are you going to do that?”
“I have a few ideas.”
