Flawed Perfection: A Collection of Winter Wishes

by Ouvrard, Jude

  Charlotte broke free of the kiss and said, “If you keep doing that, you’re going to make me come.”

  “I know,” he didn’t stop. “Kiss me,” he touched his lips to hers and soon their tongues were softly mingling together. Again and again he dragged himself across her now soaked panties.

  “Nolan, I’m going to come,” she announced just as she felt the first pulses of her release wash over her. She arched into him as more moisture flooded her already soaked lingerie. She thought about calling his name as her orgasm struck but she didn’t know if she should. This was a strange situation in itself and right now, she wasn’t so sure she wanted to get that personal. Yes, sex was about as personal as a person could get with another human being but her comfort level wasn’t one hundred percent in it.

  Dragging in gulps of air, Charlotte finally looked up at the man looming above her. His eyes sparkled in the candle lit room and a smile played across his face. She wondered what he found funny about what’d just happened. “Was I that hilarious?” she ran her hands down his arms.

  “No, but I kind of have a problem,” he said as he looked away.

  “Want to tell me about said problem?” she asked.

  “Let’s just say watching you come drove me over the edge.” He rolled off her and stood by the bed. “I’m sorry,” he ducked his head then turned toward the bathroom.

  Why was he embarrassed about that? Hell, the fact that he came along with her was one of the highest sex compliments a person could get. If someone was giving out gold stars tonight, she and Nolan would each have one.

  There was no way she would let him feel shameful about that. Charlotte stood from the bed and walked to the now closed bathroom door. She pressed her ear against the thick wood and could hear the sound of the shower water pelting the glass enclosure. Crossing her fingers she grabbed the handle and hoped he’d left the door unlocked. Bingo! He did. She quietly stepped into the steamy room and propped herself against the vanity. Voyeuristic thoughts zoomed through her head as she stood there watching Nolan. His palms were braced on the glass wall with the water trailing down his fit body. Muscle upon muscle covered every part of his physique but he wasn’t one of those beefy weight lifters either. He was toned and healthy looking and that’s what Charlotte loved to see on a man.

  “How long have you been in here?” Her head snapped back with the sound of Nolan’s voice.

  When she saw his face, she paused. “Not long.”

  Nolan pushed the glass shower door open, “I guess I need to apologize again for what happened in there.”

  “No you don’t.” she stepped forward, grabbed the door and opened it wider. “Mind if I join you?” she asked as she stepped into the massive space.

  “You’re still dressed.”

  “So.” Slowly she stepped beneath the warm spray, letting the water soak her lingerie. She knew what she was doing and by the look on Nolan’s face, he appreciated it.

  “I can see every inch of you through that wet fabric.”

  “Oh, really?”

  “Yes.”

  “See anything you like?” She teased.

  “I happen to like all of it,” He stepped forward, put an arm around her waist and tugged her closer.

  “I happen to like what I see too,” Tilting her head back a bit she then reached down and placed her hand around his erection.

  “Fuck,” he threw his head back and cursed as she began to stroke him. “Are you trying to kill me?”

  “Maybe.”

  “You’re doing a good job at it,” he chuckled.

  If he thought what she was doing would kill him, he’d be six feet under when she did what she planned to.

  Dropping to her knees, Charlotte looked up and made eye contact right before she grazed her tongue across the tip of his cock. She tasted the tangy saltiness and she wanted more. Opening her lips, she took his length until it bumped the back of her throat. Nolan’s muscles tensed up and a moan escaped his chest.

  Charlotte normally hated going down on a guy but for some reason, she loved doing it for Nolan. With each lick, he would reward her with a groan of approval. Soon though, he took a step back, letting his cock fall from her lips.

  “As much as I love you doing that, I’d rather be here,” he slid his hand over her soaked mound.

  Charlotte was ready for that too. She wanted all of him. Shoving her fingers in the tiny waistband of her underwear, she pushed them down and flung them to the back of the shower. She then reached up to undo the ribbon that held the top of the ensemble together but he stopped her.

  “Leave this on,” Nolan gently pushed her until her back hit the glass wall behind her. “Hook this leg around my hip,” he instructed. She did just that as they stared into each other’s eyes. His erection began to glide over her center as Nolan began kissing her with a renewed passion. Pulling away he touched his forehead to hers and said, “Tell me to stop.”

  She shook her head as the water poured down her body. “No.”

  “Then tell me you want me inside you,” he whispered.

  “You know I do.”

  With once more light kiss, he grabbed his cock and placed it at her entrance. She barely had time to take a breath before he thrust upward and buried himself inside her heat.

  “Holy shit. You feel even better than I imagined.” He complimented.

  “I…I…I…” Charlotte couldn’t form a coherent thought let alone a full sentence.

  “I’m right there with you,” he grabbed one of her hands and pulled it above her head. “Wrap your other leg around me.”

  When she was twisted around his body, he pulled himself almost free of her depths then ever-so-slowly he pushed back in. It was agony and elation at the same time. How could it feel this good? She’d never had a sexual experience that could compare to this one. Not that she should be comparing her previous partners to Nolan, but she couldn’t help but be excited right now. It felt too fucking good.

  Minutes of his slow thrusts went by and Charlotte felt herself on the edge but not quite there. “Harder,” she moaned.

  “I don’t want to hurt you,” Nolan stood still.

  “You’re not going to hurt me.”

  “Charlotte…” he began.

  “Just fuck me!” she shouted.

  As soon as that phrase left her lips, she noticed a change in him. It was as if he transformed into an alpha male who would go to any lengths to make sure when she came, she’d come hard.

  ***

  Nolan couldn’t believe what Charlotte all but demanded from him. He wasn’t used to sex like that. His ex wanted nothing but slow and steady in the missionary position. She wasn’t the adventurous type. It was probably the reason she had to use her toy to get off after they’d had sex. For some reason, he couldn’t manage to make her come. But Charlotte on the other hand, she flipped a switch inside him and now he wanted to play. He was ready to fuck her as hard as she wanted and not feel bad about it.

  “Tell me again,” he grunted.

  “Fuck me.”

  “Yeah?” Pulling his cock halfway from her body he took a breath then slammed into her.

  “Yes!”

  Her screams urged him on as he repeated the same thrust for several minutes. She was shocked however when he removed himself from her body and grabbed her waist. He turned her around and pressed on her spine. “Put your palms on the glass and don’t move them.” He kicked one of her legs and she spread them wider. “I need to be deeper,” he said just as he slid forward. Yeah, this position was definitely better for shower sex. Besides, Charlotte looked hot with her ass in the air and her hands on the glass shower wall. Each time he pushed his cock into her, her pussy fluttered like it was ready to come all over him.

  “Mmmmm,” she crooned.

  “Can you do me a favor, beautiful?” he asked.

  “What?”

  “I want you to come on my dick. Think you can do that?” He thrust into her channel and began to grind his hips on her
ass.

  “Yes.” She reached down and began toying with her clit.

  “Yeah, that’s fucking beautiful.”

  Nolan didn’t want to admit it but he’d never actually felt a woman come on his dick before. His fingers, sure. Mouth, of course. But the main attraction down south, nope. He had high hopes for tonight though. And the way Charlotte’s body began to quake, he’d bet in the next few minutes she’d reward him with an orgasm.

  When she pulled one of her hands off the glass and reached back to grab his arm, he knew it was time. “Oh, fuck,” she screeched just as he felt her walls clamp around his cock. Nolan closed his eyes and let the sensations take over. Each time her body squeezed his erection, he moaned and continued to fuck her. It seems like her orgasm lasted forever—her pussy getting tighter with each pulse. It wasn’t until he opened his eyes and the silence bombarded him.

  With his eyes wide he pulled out of her and stood there in the warm spray of the shower. Charlotte stood up straight, and pressed her back against the wall. She stared at him, waiting for him to say something. But what was he supposed to say? This was really fucking bad.

  Finally he shoved his fingers through his hair and spoke, “I can’t believe I did that. I guess…I mean are you…”

  She shook her head, “No. I stopped taking birth control three months ago. We were going to start a family right after we were married.” He watched a sadness pass across her face.

  “Shit.” He reached around her and turned the water off. Thinking time, that’s what he needed. He could go for a walk or punch something. No, the second option wouldn’t do him any good. How could he be so careless?

  “I know this is probably insignificant but I am clean.” She shrugged. Even with worry on her face she was still stunning.

  “Same here.” He opened the shower door and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her he put a finger under her chin and placed a very light kiss on her lips. “Whatever happens, we will deal with it, okay?” She nodded. “Let’s get dried off and I’ll order room service.”

  “Sounds good.”

  Nolan wanted to kick his own ass right now. Stupid didn’t begin to describe what he was. After tossing on a pair of athletic shorts he grabbed the room service menu. Oh look, you can order a box of condoms from fucking room service. Fuck a duck.

  Chapter 5

  Charlotte’s stomach was in knots. She’d been so caught up with Nolan that she forgot to mention a condom. Every emotion was running rampant right now and she wasn’t sure if she should cry or laugh at the stupidity.

  Once she was dried off, in her sleep shorts and oversized t-shirt, she crawled onto the bed and sat Indian style. She heard Nolan ask her something about food but all she could remember was nodding her head. His voice sounded like he was sitting in a barrel while talking to her.

  “The food should be here in about thirty minutes,” Nolan said, without making eye contact. In fact, it looked like he was avoiding her.

  Jumping from the bed she found a pair of flip flops and slid them on. As she walked to the door on trembling legs, she felt tears begin to build. She was determined to leave the room before she broke out into a hyperventilating cry fest.

  “Where’re you going?” Nolan asked.

  “Just need some fresh air,” Charlotte said as she pulled the heavy door open.

  “Stop,” Nolan placed his palm on the door, shutting it.

  “Let me go,” her shoulders slumped.

  “Hey,” turning her around, he grabbed the sides of her face, “You’re tired. Why don’t you lay down and I’ll wake you when the food comes.”

  “I don’t think I can eat anything right now.”

  “I know you’re upset with me, you have every right to be, Charlotte. I made a mistake and the price of it could be high. Tell me what I can do to make things better.” He walked her over to the bed where they both took a seat on the plush duvet.

  “I don’t know. I’m so freaked out right now.” She watched him draw lazy circles on the palm of her hand.

  “We will figure it out.”

  “I don’t even know where you live.” She swiped the stray tears off her cheeks.

  “Napa Valley, California. What about you?”

  “Las Vegas.”

  “See? We’re kind of close to each other.” Nolan stood and began pacing the room. She could tell he wasn’t thrilled about the prospect of a pregnancy test with a positive sign. “Listen, we have a couple more days here, then we fly home. We will keep in touch.”

  Charlotte knew that wasn’t going to happen. Sure, he was a nice guy and all, but if she thought he would be there for her, chances were, he probably wouldn’t. “Okay.” It was time to stop fretting over something that might not even happen. Just as she stood from the bed, a knock sounded at the door.

  “Room service,” the male voice on the other side said.

  “I’ll get that,” Nolan said as he made his way to the door. A minute later he was bringing a tray to the bed. “Wasn’t sure what you wanted so I ordered a variety of stuff.”

  How thoughtful. Maybe he was a good guy. Maybe she wouldn’t have any issues if she ended up pregnant.

  ***

  Nolan watched Charlotte as they sat on the bed and enjoyed their snacks. For some reason his mind wandered into a train of thought that made him smile. She’d be a good mom. He thought. The kid would be lucky if it got her eyes.

  “Earth to Nolan,” she snapped her fingers in front of his face.

  “Sorry, I zoned out.”

  “Did you hear what I asked you?” she stuck a French fry in her mouth and began to chew. He shook his head. “I asked what you were doing for Christmas.”

  “Christmas?”

  “Yeah, it’s the day after tomorrow.” She laughed. He really liked her laugh.

  “I completely forgot it was so soon.” Back home he would spend time with his huge family. They were big on get-togethers like that. His mom would spend all day cooking an elaborate turkey dinner and his dad would sit, stretched out in his recliner while watching some kind of sports show. His sisters would show up with their husbands and kids making Nolan feel like the odd man out. This year was supposed to be different though. The plan was to get married a week before Christmas and spend the holiday in paradise. So much for the getting married part.

  One upside to it though, was Charlotte. It looked like they’d be spending the holiday together. “Want to spend Christmas with me?” he turned and asked.

  “Sure. We might as well celebrate together.” She smile then took a drink of her water. “It’ll be kind of strange not having a tree this year.”

  “Looks like we traded a fir tree for some palm trees.”

  “That’s not so bad.” She shrugged her slim shoulders.

  Nolan watched as a quick mask of sadness passed across her features. “You okay?” he asked.

  “Yeah.” She sighed but continued. “I had so many plans, ya know? I thought my future was set in stone but I guess I was mistaken.”

  How was he supposed to comfort her? Hell, he was riding in the same damn boat and it looked like someone poked a hole in both their life rafts. “I know what you mean.”

  “And now this whole…the thing that happened earlier.”

  How many times did he have to apologize for his thoughtlessness? It wasn’t that he brushed the incident off, he just figured there wasn’t a reason to panic until they were given one. Shaking his head, Nolan left the room and went to the balcony. Leaning over the railing he let out a deep sigh. No, this wasn’t what his future was supposed to look like either but if he was dealt this hand, he’d play it.

  “Hey, I’m sorry,” Charlotte’s sweet voice sounded behind him. He turned his head to see her but didn’t say anything. “I shouldn’t keep bringing it up. Let’s change the subject. I mean, if things do go sideways and we end up in each other’s lives, I think we should know a bit more about each other. Don’t you think?”

  “That’s quite a subject ch
ange,” he laughed. “What do you want to know?”

  “What do you do for a living?” She slapped her hand over her mouth then took it away. “I just realized how bad that sounded. I didn’t mean it like, I hope you have a good job to pay child support, or anything like that.”

  “I didn’t take it that way.” Nolan took a seat in one of the patio chairs. When Charlotte sat down, he answered “I own a vineyard in Napa.”

  “Really? You make wine?”

  “Yeah. It’s been in my family since my great grandfather immigrated to the US. My dad sold it to me two years ago.” He was proud of his business.

  “Do you sell a lot of it?” She pulled her legs underneath her and turned to face him.

  “Our wines are in every Michelin Star restaurant around the world. And they’ve won several awards.”

  “You sound like you love what you do.”

  “I do love it. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. What do you do?”

  “I a dental assistant.” She smiled. “Well, it’s for a kid’s only dental office. It’s stressful sometimes, younger kids don’t like the sound of the drill.”

  “I can only imagine.”

  “I’ve been working there for seven years now. They treat me well and I actually look forward to work every day.”

  “That’s how I am. It honestly doesn’t seem like work.”

  “I know!” she said loudly.

  Nolan chuckled at her enthusiasm. It was strange to find another person who loved their job about as much as he loved his. The vineyard was his baby in a sense. He’d watch the vines grow and produce quality grapes every year and it gave him something to be proud of.

  When he looked over at Charlotte, he cocked his head to the side and studied her.

  “Why are you staring at me?” she asked.

  “Can’t get over how beautiful you are.”

  She shyly ducked her head and pushed a lock of hair behind her ear. “Thanks…I guess.”

  “Come here,” he said as he extended his hand. When she placed her into his, he gave a soft tug. Falling onto his lap, she adjusted herself and wrapped her arms around his neck. Why did having her close to him feel so right?
