I pulled the pillow tighter over my head. ‘No I'm not coming, go away. You can fetch me later or better ask Cole to go.”
I felt Vincent getting off the bed; I thought he was going to the bathroom, but the next thing I felt were the covers being pulled off me and Vincent's big hands around my ankles. He pulled me to the bottom of the bed and then climbed on top of my legs. He grabs my ass in both his hands and squeezed.
“God you have a sexy ass, I just feeling sinking my teeth into it.”
I started giggling and wiggling trying to get way.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh Cat, you still haven’t learnt. You tell me "I won't and I definitely will.”
Vincent bites me but not hard, more like a nibble. Then started kissing me all the way up my back, over my tattoo and up to my neck.
“You have a sexy tattoo on your back.”
“Yes I do!”
“I like it.”
“Oh, thank you sir.”
“Now as much as I want to spend the rest of the day doing what we did last night and more. If we don't get up now I am going to be in shit with Cole.”
“Yeah you’re right. I have class today, and I need to get back home.”
I rolled onto my back with Vincent lying on his side next to me. He had his fingers in my hair again. His smirk disappeared and he looked all serious.
“Hey, about last night. I just want you to know that I really like you and I know that we moved a little quick, but ...”
“STOP!”
(Oh shit this is what I was afraid of. I give myself to a guy and he turns around and wants nothing more to do with me. How could I have been so stupid, this is why I wanted Vincent to get to know me first? This was all my fault. I knew I was not woman enough for him.) All the sadness and betrayal from Hunter came flooding back. I didn't realize a tear was rolling down my face, I was frozen holding my breath waiting for Vincent to say something.
“Hey, why are you crying? Are you ok? Did I hurt you last night?”
The shock and concern in his eyes was too much for me. I needed to get out of there.
“Get off me, I need to go.”
Vincent pinned me down on the bed, I could not move.
“No Caitlin! What the hell is going on, why are you running again? What are you afraid of?”
“I'm not afraid of anything! I need to get home and you need to go to work.”
“I'm not going anywhere until I know what has you so spooked.”
“Nothing!”
Vincent was sitting over me; even if I tried I was not going anywhere. He had my hands pinned either side of my head. His face so close to mine. I could feel his breath on my skin and his eyes burning into mine but I had my eyes shut tight. I just could not look into his eyes.
“Look at me Caitlin, tell me what is going on with you. I thought last night was amazing; the thought of not seeing you for a few hours was driving me crazy. I want to spend the whole day with you under me, but from the look on your face I'm worried that this is just a one sided feeling.”
My eyes shot open, I looked into his eyes, and it was filled with sadness. (OMG, could I have read him all wrong. I thought he was going to tell me that it is over before we really even started.)
“Vincent, I am so sorry I thought … I thought that you were done with me and you were trying to tell me it was over.”
“Why would you think that after the night we had?”
“I don't know, I don't have the experience, I thought you might not want me.”
“Oh Caitlin, no baby, you are so amazing, I am the one who should be worried that I am not good enough for you.”
“Oh, Vincent.”
He bent down and kissed my tears away and then kissed me on the lips, I manage to get my arms free. I wrapped it around his neck and pulled him closer to me. Our kiss was strong hard and passionate. I needed to put these insecurities, caused by Hunter’s betrayal, behind me. I needed to put Hunter behind me and the only way to do that was to tell Vincent all about Hunter, but I was not ready yet.
Vincent broke away from me looking down into my eyes.
“We need to stop this kissing now; if this goes on any longer I am going to keep you as my prisoner in my bed the whole day. Come lets go shower.”
“Shower together, don't you think us being naked in the shower is going to lead to other things?”
With a smirk on his face Vincent got up from the bed and pulled me up with him.
“What other things are you talking about Cat?”
I hit Vincent on the shoulder and started walking towards the bathroom with just a little bit extra swing in my hips.
“Well I don't know, if you don't know.”
Before I even reach the bathroom door Vincent was behind me, hands on my hips pulling me towards him.
“Wiggling your ass at me I think it sparked my memory.”
“So what are you going to do about that?”
“You are teasing me now?”
Vincent walked us into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I could see he was having a hard time. He needed to get to the market in time so that he could get the fresh produce for the shop and to be honest I was not playing fair. I so desperately wanted him to touch me again. I tied my hair in a ponytail so as not to get wet. I made a real show of washing my body. I had my back to Vincent, I could not see his eyes but I could feel them burning on my body. I think I heard him growl at me a few times. After I finished I turned around to find him with his back towards me.
Water ran down his body. He was leaning his head against the tiled wall of the shower. (Mmh wonder what was happening there.) I placed my hand on his shoulder.
“What you doing Vincent?”
“Trying really hard to be a gentleman, you are right; showering together was not a very good idea.”
I just giggled not too sure what to say to that statement.
“That is not helping Caitlin; your little giggle gives my friend orders to stand at attention!”
(Hell I am so turned on right now I don't give a dam if we are late.) Vincent still had his head against the tiles and his eyes were closed, trying so hard to control himself.
I went to stand right behind him, the water from the shower still cascading down our bodies. I am a little scared of his reaction to what I am about to do, but I can’t leave him like this; I can’t leave myself like this.
I pressed against his back and curled my arms around his body, with my hands on his chest. He did not move but I could feel the tension radiating from him. All of a sudden I thought that it might be a bad idea. I took my hands off his body and start backing away.
“Don't stop!”
“Sorry what did you say?”
“I said don't stop.”
My body felt like it was on fire. As I turned around, Vincent was standing facing me. My eyes drifted over his body, I could stare at him all day, he was perfect and hot as hell.
“You have started something now and I think we both know that we are going to be late today.”
“Mmh I’m glad to see you changed your mind.”
I took a step closer to Vincent but before I could put my hands on him, he had me pinned against the shower wall. He lifted my legs over his hips and pressed his rock hard shaft against the bottom of my ass. With my back pressed against the cool wall I placed my hands on his shoulders to steady myself. Vincent placed his hand on the wall next to my shoulders. He leaned in with his mouth so close to my ear and whispered.
“You better hold on baby this is going to be hard and fast.”
Then he kissed me in my neck, sucking and licking his way down to my breasts. He sucked my breast twirling his tongue around and around my nipple. His tongue was like magic on my skin, turned me on with every movement. Before I could even comprehend what was happening Vincent lowered his hand and found my pussy.
“Wet and ready for me to claim.”
My legs still loosely wrapped around his hips Vincent pul
led away just enough so he could slip his hand around his cock. He moved his hand up and down, oh my word it is so hot to see him do that. My eyes were fixed on his penis. I needed him so badly. I arched my back too get closer. Vincent's eyes focused on mine and I could see he was just as desperate for our connection. Very slowly Vincent placed his tip at my entrance. I was already so turned on and wet. He placed his hand on my ass and the other one still on the wall next to me.
"You better hold on baby"
I braced myself for what was coming; it was not going to be long, from just watching him my climax was already building. With one fast hard move Vincent slammed into me. He was so deep I could feel his balls hitting against my ass. For a split second I realized that we were not using protection but it felt amazing. Vincent moved faster going deeper than I thought possible. I think I must have been holding my breath, I could feel my climax building.
“Vincent I am going to …”
I could not even get the words out; my nails were digging into his shoulder. His hand on my ass was gripping tight. I knew he was close.
“Feel it baby, I am right here with you.”
I let go, my pussy gripping him as tight as my climax ripped through my body, seconds later I could feel Vincent finding his release. He moved twice before his body relaxed into mine. He rested his face against my neck. I turned and kissed him on his temple. It was so perfect. Just us, that moment with nothing between us, not even latex. Vincent pulled away from me lowering my legs to the ground.
“Now was that as good for you as what it was for me?”
It was perfect, more than I ever thought it could be, but I think I should keep a little mystery.
“It’s ok!”
“OK?! You really know how to bruise a guy’s ego so early in the morning, I can show you again if it might help.”
“No, no I'm just kidding, we need to shower we are really going to be late.”
Chapter 16
About an hour later Vincent and I arrived at the farmers market. It was an amazing to see how busy it was that early in the morning. The sun was only just peaking its head out. Vincent made quick work of selecting what he needed for the shop. We made it back to Simplicity about thirty minutes later than normal.
Rebecca was already standing outside waiting for Vincent to open up. I was watching her from the safety of the car. I was still not too happy with the feeling I got from her.
Her face lit up when Vincent got out of the car, she started walking towards us but when she saw Vincent walking around to my side of the car, she stopped. I got out helping him with the packets. When I turned to face her I felt the hatred radiating from her and the look on her face confirmed it. WTF is this all about, but my luck Vincent was oblivious to what was going on, as when he turned to face Rebecca she was sweet and innocent. What the hell was this woman’s problem? After the night we had I was really not in the mood for that bitch.
I greeted Rebecca first but only when Vincent greeted did she respond. I looked at Vincent to see if he noticed what just happened, but typical he didn’t.
Vincent unlocked the shop and apologized to Rebecca for being late. She was so sweet.
“It doesn’t bother me.”
Shit whatever chick you and I will have this sorted out as soon as I can get you alone.
I walked with Vincent into the kitchen and started unpacking the parcels. I placed all the items on the counter and Vincent started packed away.
Rebecca was in the front sorting out the tables when Vincent went into the cold room. He was taking inventory of everything and it was going to take a while. This was my opportunity to confront Rebecca about her attitude towards me. I made sure Vincent was well on his way with his stocktake before I approached her.
She was standing with her back towards the kitchen and didn’t see me coming. I went to stand right behind her; I didn’t want to raise my voice, to upset Vincent.
“What is your problem, Rebecca?”
“What do you mean?”
“Since the tournament you seem to have a problem with me or should I say a problem with Vincent’s interests in me?”
“Oh I don’t have a problem, may be a slight irritation but not a problem, I know this will be short lived, like all the others in the past.”
“Excuse me!”
“Vincent and I have history, we are soul mates. I am always here to pick up the pieces and he has always been my rock, my support. You are just a little bump in my road to happy ever after. So run along, us big people have work to do”
The wind was knocked out of me, what could I say to that. When I asked Vincent if there was something between them he told me I have nothing to worry about.
“Whatever”
I turned around and walked out of Simplicity, I didn’t even think about getting my bags out of Vincent’s car, I just needed to get home.
By the time I got to my house the tears were streaming down my face, I was devastated. How could Vincent lie to me like that after I asked him directly? I tried to open the door but it was still locked. I knocked on the door, I hoped Heather was home. While I’m waited for the door to be opened I heard my name being called. I turned around to find Vincent running towards me. I needed to get inside; I started banging on the door by the 4th knock I nearly knocked Heather in the face. I had no time to apologise because Vincent was already making his way up the stairs. I sprinted past Heather nearly knocking Cole off his feet. I just made it in time to my bedroom door, slamming and locking the door in Vincent’s face.
I slid down the door and was sitting with my back against it. I pulled my legs to my chest and started crying. There was a knock on the door I knew it was Vincent. I really didn’t want to talk to him.
“Go away, Vincent I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Cat open this door I want to talk to you, when I came out of the cool room you were gone, Rebecca said you just left.”
Trust that bitch to play innocent.
“Go away Vincent I don’t want to talk to you, go ask your best friend and soul mate to talk. I am done, you lied to me!”
“Caitlin, open this door I don’t know what you are talking about!”
“Run back to Rebecca she is always there for you.”
“Cat, open this door now.”
I started screaming at him to leave me alone I was becoming hysterical; I needed him to leave immediately. After a few minutes it went quiet, I think I heard Heathers voice outside my room. I got up from where I was sitting and walked towards my window. Looking out I saw Vincent and Cole walk towards Simplicity and there in front of the shop the bitch was waiting. Hell I despised her.
I climbed into my bed and pulled the covers over my head. I cried and cried, I heard Heather asking me to open up the door so she could talk to me but I just wanted to be alone.
I fell for Vincent so quickly, so completely, then for that woman to tell me it wouldn’t last, they were soul mates. I eventually fell asleep.
I woke late afternoon, shit I missed class today, and my parents were going to kill me. All the crying made me hungry. I put my ear to the door to listen if anyone was outside. It was dead quiet, safe for me to go out. I unlocked the door and peaked out the door, no one in sight, when I stepped out I nearly fell over the biggest bunch of white roses I had ever seen. It could only be from Vincent. I was still very angry with him and didn’t feel too happy about everything but this was white roses and was sort of my favourite flowers. I picked them it up and made my way down stairs.
The house was dead quiet, no one in sight. I grabbed my IPod and put my earphones in my ears. (When I am in a mood I need my music blasting the pain out of my head.)
I started baking, (I love baking) I thought a nice chocolate cake would do the trick. Mmh chocolate could fix almost anything. I was just about to put the cake in the oven when I turned around and found Heather sitting at the kitchen table watching me. I hadn’t heard her come in. I pulled my earphones out and just looked at her; I waited for
her to start interrogating me. But she said noting, she just stared at me.
“What?”
“I don’t know, you tell me what? You storm into the house this morning early knocking me over, then your boyfriend almost breaks the door down to get to you.”
“Don’t call him my boyfriend, he is not my boyfriend he is her boyfriend, I was just a hiccup in the road.”
“Who are you talking about, Caitlin?”
“Heather I was such a fool. Right from the beginning I felt something was wrong, I knew there was something between them.”
