Heart of Ice

by Jalissa Pastorius

  ***

  Rose petals floated in the tub, a husky voice whispered in her ear. Her body shudder as he leant in to lick her inner ear. Swirling his tongue around it and biting down, her body grew hot. He then whispered her name in her ear before moving on to her neck. His teeth grazed her skin and his tongue wreaked havoc on her body. When his lips moved to claim hers, she sighed in utter bliss as he dominated her with a crushing kiss. Moving his large hands to pinch her hard peaks she couldn’t help the sounds that spewed from her mouth. It was when his hand began to sink lower that raised alarm. She wanted it no demanded it. Christina jerked awake. The water sloshed around causing her to shiver. She needed to cool off. She had been dreaming of Matt. Damn that man and his good looks. She didn’t even remember falling asleep in the tub. The water was now a biting cold. She quickly washed herself before getting out the tub. Enveloping herself in a large towel she entered her bedroom. She pulled out the business card from her clutch. Pulling out her phone, she took the cowardly way out and send him a text.

  If your offer is still on the table, I would love to join you on your trip.

  She sent the text before turning her phone off. She was in no state to converse with him. She was already dreaming about the man. She needed a break. Closing her eyes, she looked forward to what tomorrow would bring.

  Chapter 4

  Christina jerked awake. The hot dream she’d been having left her a little shaken and slightly embarrassed. She took a shower to cool off. Checking that she had everything she needed before she left; she noticed a text message from Matt flashed across the screen. She still couldn’t believe, she texted him, especially when she thought about the implications of her actions. What did it imply? Was she ready to lose her virginity to this man? They were bound to be having hot rigorous sex, right? Ugh, why did everything have to be so complicated?

  I’ll pick you up Friday morning at 9am.

  She thought about it some more. Was she ready to lose it? It was too late to back out now. Bleh! She knew next to nothing about the art of seduction. It was what she got for being such a book worm. Throwing everything into her bag, she got into her vehicle and made her way to the university.

  Christina was glad the day was almost over. She passed out the final exams to the students in her loss prevention course. They were mostly seniors who would be graduating. She was proud, she had a good group; it still was awkward, teaching students who were two or three years older than her, but hey she got to eat. Revealing her age was something that she fought the university on. Relieved that they finally complied, she continued her employment there; however, she still suspected that some of the students knew her true age—not that they tried anything. This was Vanderbilt University, very prestigious. No one wanted to jeopardize her wrath and face expulsion, or the angry parents who was investing so much into their education. At least, this was what she thought until the last student in her class turned his test into her.

  “Professor, I really enjoyed this class. You’re a great teacher.”

  “No problem Joshua,” she said glancing up into his into his honey colored eyes. White teeth gleamed back at her and his hair was cropped closely to his head in a fade fashion. He was quite handsome, the girls all had their eyes on him, and strangely she never heard of him dating anyone. Oh well, not her business. He was an A student and that was all that mattered to her, he was graduating from the university with honors and as a valedictorian. Handsome and smart. Good for him.

  “Well there was something else I wanted to talk about.”

  “And that is?” she asked putting her things into her purse.

  “You.” He said inching closer to her.

  “What are you talking about Josh?” She said running behind the desk to keep it between them.

  “C’mon professor, you got to live a little.”

  “What I do in my free time doesn’t concern you,” she huffed out. Persistent little brat. Why wouldn’t he go away?

  “I know that you’re only twenty-one, and that makes you my junior.” He said sliding over the desk and trapping her between the wall and him. What was up with all these men attacking her? Did she have a sign stamped to her forehead that screamed prey?

  “I’m the professor here, I suggest you back away.” She said trying to keep the blush from forming and her voice firm. Obviously, she was failing miserably.

  “Really?”

  “How did you get such information? That information isn’t privy to students.”

  “I guess being the heir to a million dollar industry helps.” Christina’s heart raced as he inched closer. He wasn’t her green eyes. Luckily, her phone rang interrupting the conversation. She picked up the phone on instinct, she didn’t care who was on the other end.

  “Hello?” she said casting a wary eye at Joshua.

  “Christina,” the voice replied. Hearing the voice, she instantly blush. It was Matt.

  “Matt,” she whispered into the phone.

  “What are you doing?” he asked.

  “Wrapping up my last class of the day.”

  Joshua looked at the woman who held him captive with her beauty for the last year. He always saw her rushing hurriedly through the halls, on to teach the next class. It was when he finally enrolled in her class that he really got a chance to see her beauty firsthand. Her hair was always pulled back in a bun making her look slightly older. He was so interested in her that he had a friend pull her profile. Discovering that she was only twenty-one, he figured he stood a chance. He would watch from a far and wait. Watching her blush while she talked to another man riled him up.

  Christina looked up as Josh moved in, “Joshua, you’re dismissed.”

  “Who are you talking to?”

  “That is none of your concern,” she told him frowning.

  “Is he your boyfriend,” Josh persisted.

  “Joshua you are a student, please go.” Her anxiety was rising. She had no idea that he could be so pushy.

  “Are you okay?” Matt asked.

  “Yes I’m fine,” she replied. If Josh didn’t leave she was going to push the panic button. She’d be damn if she let some hot headed student bully her.

  Joshua looked at her; he wanted to apologize but was angry. Who was she talking to? He watched her carefully, and it didn’t look like she’d been dating anyone. What changed?

  Christina gave a relieved sigh as Josh finally exited the class room.

  “Look Matt I have to go.”

  “Is he gone?”

  “Yes.”

  “Okay, call me if you have any more trouble. I’ll see you Friday, nine am sharp.”

  “Bye.”

  Matt Dallas sat in his office gazing at the New York City skyline. Christina had been on his mind since their last encounter. He’d been disappointed when she hadn’t called him. Looking at the reply to the text she sent him, gave him hope. Wrapping up all his tasks, he decided to give her a call. Her breathy voice answered him. He wondered whether or not she always sounded like a siren on phone. His blood immediately rushed south. He adjusted his pants. He frowned when he realized her voice was strained. He wondered what was wrong. Hearing her say that a student, a male one at that was harassing her almost sent him over the edge. He was ready to pack up and take a jet straight to Nashville. She was his and he didn’t like sharing. Once she ended the call with him, Matt cancelled whatever appointments he had for the day. He’d let Collum deal with them. He called his private pilot and told him to have the jet ready in two hours. He was going to Nashville.

  Christina sighed, as she made it home. She had an eventful day. Joshua cornering her like that really surprised her. She wondered if she was going to have to start carrying pepper spray around. She wasn’t the tallest person in the world. She looked for signs of Sarah. It seemed she hadn’t stopped by. Christina didn’t mind Sarah dropping by after all she was her best friend. She suspected that she would make an appearance tonight to talk about how
her exams went. Ordering a large supreme pizza and grabbing a bottle of pink moscato champagne, she sat down on the couch and indulged in her favorite TV station, ID investigation channel. What did you people expect? She had a degree in criminal justice. The story was getting good when Sarah made her presence known, coming through the door loud as usual. Christina shook her head and giggled. They were practically polar opposites.

  “Pizza! Feed me woman!” she said dropping her things off and making a beeline for the food. Once settled on the sofa, she gave Christina a smirk.

  “What?”

  “What exactly transpired between you and that major hunk of a man?” Christina blushed furiously as Sara wiggled her eyebrows at her.

  “Nothing, I’m mean we kissed,” she said hiding her face behind the pillow.

  “Hmm, what else.” Sarah asked leaning in closer.

  “Well, I’m going with him to the cabin in the mountains.”

  “What?!” Sarah squealed. Christina hurriedly poured herself a glass of champagne. She was going to turn into an alcoholic if she kept downing the drinks.

  “I knew you had it in you! So that means you’re prepared to lose it.”

  “Ugh, Sarah I hate when you say it like that.”

  “You have to tell me, how it is with an older man.”

  “Kill me now.”

  “Oh, we have got to go shopping to pick out some little hot negligees for you.”

  “I will die. Can’t we just order them online? I’ll pay for overnight shipping,” she said trying to deter Sarah.

  “No! Get your visa ready honey. I know what we’re doing tonight.” Christina looked at Sarah in fear. She was in deep trouble, once Sarah got her mind on something, it was impossible to stop her. Her shoulders sagged in defeat.

  “Very well.”

  ***

  Matt laughed as Collum’s voice screeched at him from the phone. He was on his private jet heading to Nashville.

  “You dirty bastard! You could’ve warned me! Leaving me here to fend for myself against these savages. You owe me Matt, and believe me I am going to collect.” Matt smiled as he had a shot of tequila to relax.

  “Aw, it couldn’t have been that bad. You’re just pissed that you wouldn’t be able to spend time with that blonde. Don’t think I didn’t see the way you were eyeing her. I am going to have to warn you to stay away from her, until I get Christina to be mine.”

  “Dude, you’re serious about her.”

  “Yes, I am. She didn’t recognize me; which mean she couldn’t be in it for the money. I like her vulnerability, that ass, and those large tits.”

  “Alright man. I got it. You two have fun.” Collum said disconnecting the call. Now he knew Matt was serious. It was time to do some digging. He would be damn if he let another girl come in and crush his friend again. Collum was happy to have him back to normal. When all their other friends left him alone because he wanted to be, Collum stuck by his side and pestered him until raged and finally broke—crying in his arms. They never talked about it, but that was the first time he’d ever seen Matt cry. Family was everything to him, since he had such a shitty childhood. Collum got on the phone and made a call.

  “Get me a file on everything you know about Christina Moore. I want it by tomorrow morning.”

  Chapter 5

  The two entered the adult fantasy store. The little ringing bell announced their presence. Storming through the store like she owned the place Sarah found the negligees area, Christina simply followed behind her with a flaming face. They slowly made their way through the various pieces of clothing. Could this even be called clothing? Christina gulped as she looked at the pieces; they left little of nothing to the imagination.

  “Isn’t he going to realize that I’ve been planning to have hot rigorous sex with him?”

  “HA! So you are planning on giving it away,” Sarah yelled like a proud coach whose player scored the winning touchdown.

  “Will you shut up,” she whisper yelled, pulling her friend towards her in a death grip.

  “Chris, I swear you are such a prude. He probably expect you to have some type of lacy underwear. Let’s get you some black, to make those sexy grey eyes of yours pop.” She said holding up a piece. The material was shear and frilly with little light pink bows on the hips of panties, she wasn’t sure, and a nightie that completed the ensemble. Christina looked at the price tag, a whopping fifty bucks for these scraps of clothing. She shook her head.

  “How about this white one?” Sarah asked.

  “Yes, let’s just announce to the world that I am his virgin sacrifice. Here master, I am here to offer myself to you.” Christina said rolling her eyes.

  “He’s bound to know anyway. He has to pop the cherry.”

  “The correct term is the hymen and it is the membrane that surrounds the opening to the vag--.”

  “Yeah, yeah, yeah don’t go all smarty pants on me.” Deeming that they had enough lingerie, Christina was ready to leave the store. Sarah looked at her friend, if she thought that was all they were going to get from this store, she was sadly mistaken. It was time she came out of that shell of hers. Dragging her over to the toy department, Christina was prepared to die. Open up ground and swallow her whole. She would be forever grateful.

  “You need something for when he’s away.”

  “Is that your way of justifying your actions.” Christina asked. She felt like her face had ignited. She didn’t even want to look around the store, but the makeshift penises just assaulted her from everywhere. What if someone from the university saw her here? Surely, one could die from humiliation and embarrassment.

  “Just grab one, any one. Hurry up.” She was so hot; she was going to pass out. Damn Sarah and her vulgar ways.

  “Okay, okay, settle down.” Sarah said finally looking at the Christina. The woman was turning different shades of purple. Sarah giggled; perhaps she did push her friend a bit too far. She grabbed the dildo and some anus beads and shoved it in the cart. She wanted Christina’s first time to be awesome. She guessed she’ll cut her some slack. Taking the bag from her friend she took it to the counter. Not batting an eye, she held her hand out to Christina for the visa. Swiping and paying for the items, they left the store.

  Returning home, she put all her things up as Sarah teased her. She was going to strangle Sarah at the rate she was going. She couldn’t believe she brought those things. Ever since meeting Matt her mind had been on a one track course—sex. It was all she thought about. Why was this happening to her? It probably wasn’t as good as all the hype about it. When she thought about those hot steamy dreams she had of Matt, she realized maybe was missing out on something.

  “There’s just one more thing I need to do gorgeous and you'll be set.” Sarah said as she sat on the edge of Christina’s bed. It was time her friend met a guy who could take care of her and protect her. Christina’s sweet nature and good looks made her a target for cruelty and jealousy. Sarah stood by her side as always protecting and ensuring that no one made her cry.

  “What’s that?” Christina asked looking at Sarah.

  “Live life to the fullest. Take advantage of every opportunity. Be spontaneous. Promise Chris. I only want the best for you.” She looked at Sarah, the girl was serious. She was so glad she had Sarah as a friend. Her self-proclaimed best friend that is. She giggled.

  “I promise.”

  “Good, now all there’s left to do is for you to let down that wild gorgeous curly hair.”

  “But I don’t want to!” she whined.

  “I wished I had naturally wavy hair like yours! All you do is wear it in a bun. It stretches to the middle of your back. Omg! I just got a plan!” she smirked devilishly at Christina. Uh oh, Christina knew that look. It didn’t bode very well for her. To summarize, it would simply end with her in some type of unorthodox situation, with Sarah roaring with laughter at her expense. Just the same she gave into Sarah’s demands.

  Matt was tired. He leapt on
the jet the second he heard Christina was in trouble. Now that he landed, he sat in his hotel room with a good old fashion beer. This time during the trip, he booked the presidential suite. It was just for one night, but he needed his space and he wanted to feel comfortable. The woman definitely wasn’t his norm. He hadn’t dated since Natalia, but it was something about Christina that made him want to own her in every way. It could be her looks, that hot little body or the innocence she projected. All he knew was that he wanted her. He usually got what he wanted. The woman was everything he wanted, educated, humble, kind, and luscious, he could just go on and on. When he thought about the extracurricular activities they would be participating in later, his body stood on end. He would take her rough, hard and on all fours. She would love every moment of it. Beer forgotten, he got up to take a cold shower and cool himself down. This woman was going to be his, instinct told him so. He finally turned in for the night. Christina would be waiting for him tomorrow.

  “Okay, it’s time I said my goodbyes. You enjoy your two weeks of pure lusciousness and don’t forget what I told you.”

  “Yeah, yeah, yeah, got it.” Christina said flushing bright red. Sometimes Sarah shared too much information. If she thought about it anymore she was going to die from embarrassment. She had to be up bright and early to make sure she was ready at nine. She was packed for the two weeks that she would be in Colorado with Matt. While Sarah’s back was turned, she tossed the bag into her suitcase.
