Romantic Promises (Alluring Promises Series, #2)

by Baker, Janice

  Maybe I’m just as crazy because right then, I wanted nothing more in my life than to have her in my arms. A smile crept over my face as I started my sprint to catch up with the insane lady yelling at air.

  Her hand flipped up just as I ran up next to her and I grabbed it just in time before her arm would hit me. She spun into me yelling, “You have NO right to accuse me of…” I didn’t let her finish her sentence as I grabbed her waist, pulled her close to me and pressed my lips right to hers, inhaling her essence right before our mouths met. She moaned into my mouth as she wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer. We stood in the middle of the sidewalk for the longest time just enjoying our passionate make up kiss. Resolving our conflict without talking. Using our mouths to explore possibilities of a relationship.

  The romantic idiot in me wanted nothing more than to see myself marrying this woman, when just a second ago I was ready to leave everything to us just having sex. I was taking a huge leap, a tremendous chance with her. Vanessa was the most confusing woman I’ve ever been with and right now, I wanted nothing more than for her to continue to mystify me.

  I pulled back and pecked her lips. “I’m sorry,” I whispered as I pressed my forehead to hers, staring into her eyes.

  She paused for a moment, staring back into my eyes, before closing them quickly, as if to resolve something in her own head. “Forgiven,” was all she whispered to me.

  “I do want something more,” I admitted as my heart beat so hard, I swore she could hear it.

  She swallowed as she asked, “You do?”

  I smiled and nodded. “Yeah.” Her smile was all the reply I needed.

  Chapter 21

  Vanessa

  We just finished off some Chinese food for lunch after another round of amazing sex. We were lying in bed facing each other. Our bodies were pressed together and his hand was softly running up and down along my body. Grazing against my breast, stomach, hip and back up. I was exhausted, but couldn’t help wondering how many other women he had this friends with benefits relationship with.

  We never really discussed any further what we are to each other. I wasn’t sure what “more” to the benefits thing really was. He probably had one with Kara. My stomach dropped just thinking about that. I glanced away from his eyes trying to get the thought out of my mind.

  “What was that?” Matt asked as he brought his hand back up to my face. He swept my hair behind my shoulder, pulling it through his fingers slowly as he did that.

  “What was what?” I look back into his eyes, unsure if my expression had changed. I gave him a half smile and swallowed.

  “What are you thinking about?”

  I didn’t want to ask because I knew it might ruin the moment, but it was possibly a self-destruct button built in to me. Out with it. I swallowed and blurted out my question, “Did you have a friends with benefit thing with Kara too?”

  Slowly, Matt answered me. “Yes.”

  I nodded, knowing I already knew that and I was ticked off that I asked that. I decided I asked one thing, I might as well ask more issues that were bothering me. That self-destruct button was taunting me internally.

  “What was it that you saw in Kara?” I shrugged and rolled my eyes. “Besides her good looks.”

  Matt gave a small smile before answering. “She touched me. I liked that she wanted something better for herself.”

  “Did you…I mean…do you love her?” God, what is wrong with me? My heart sped up not really wanting to hear his answer. What if he does love her?

  Matt shook his head, propping his elbow up and resting his head in his hand. “No. Kara…she was like a little sister almost.” My expression must have changed completely as he continued, “Stop looking at me that way. I didn’t mean an incestuous sister. I just meant that I felt like I wanted to help her out, take care of her…”

  “And sleep with her,” I added.

  Matt smirked and shrugged. “Well, that was just an added perk. She’s a sweet girl. Really.”

  You’ve got your answer now move on. I told myself. “Well she seems interested in Tom’s roommate.”

  He gave a small pensive smile. “Yeah, she does.”

  “Are you jealous?” Another question I blurted out and then cringed, not really wanting the answer.

  “I think I was more annoyed than anything, but then realized I just want her to be happy,” he admitted. He ran his finger along the curves of my body, barely touching my skin.

  “What about you?” I looked back into his eyes, wanting to know if he was really happy. I wasn’t sure how he felt about sleeping with so many women and never having a relationship.

  “Me?”

  “Yeah. Don’t you deserve to be happy?”

  His smile brightened. “I’m happy right now,” he quietly said as his hand brushed my cheek, making my heart jump.

  “You are?”

  “Yeah, I’m having fun with you.”

  I wasn’t sure what answer I wanted from him, but his answer seemed like a let down. I faked a smile, hiding that I was starting to have a little more feelings for Matt. “Fun. Yeah, I guess that’s what we’re having, isn’t it?”

  He smacked my bare ass quickly. “Come on. You need to change,” he said as he started to sit up.

  I really wanted to just take a nap and snuggle in his strong arms. “Change for what?” I groaned playfully.

  “We need to work off some of that Chinese food.”

  “Ugh…between you and Aubrey, why can’t I just have a friend that lets me rest through my carb coma?”

  He chuckled as he slipped his jeans back on. “Nah. Change,” he ordered. “I’ll be back in a few minutes to drag you down to workout.”

  I gave a slight pout as I flopped onto my stomach and pulled a pillow over my head. He chuckled and pulled it back, kneeling on the bed. He bent down and whispered, “I’ll make it worth your while.” He kissed my neck and left.

  Well, I couldn’t resist that offer, could I?

  “Crap. Do you have any more condoms?” I heard Matt ask me. I had just stepped out of the shower and was drying off. After a hot sweaty workout mixed with sex, I needed a hot shower, you know, so we could have some “clean” sex.

  “Umm, I don’t think so. You can check the nightstand on the right. I might have one in there.” Aubrey gave me a couple after I told her about my break with Charles. Charles and I never used one since I’m on birth control and Matt and I still hadn’t broached the subject.

  “Holy shit! What’s this?” I heard Matt exclaim. I looked up and stared into my reflection in the bathroom mirror with an “oh shit” look knowing exactly what he just found. I dashed into my bedroom just as Matt pulled out my vibrator from my nightstand.

  “Agh!” I screamed as I dove onto the bed. “Give that back to me!” I tried to grab it from his hand.

  “No way.” Matt’s eyes were lit up as he licked his lips, staring at me excitedly. “Look at you. Dirty little whore using a vibrator,” he teased me with a sexy lustful gleam in his eyes.

  “I don’t use it,” I lied as I gripped my towel closer to my body. I’ve used it almost every night since we got back from our night together in New Jersey. Every fantasy was entirely about him.

  “What? Why have one and not use it?” He laughed as he looked it over and started playing with the controllers. He smiled even more as the speed rotated the plastic shaft around. He put his hands to the beads in the shaft and squeezed, chuckling like a little boy with a new toy.

  “We bought it so I could…practice.” I told him squeamishly.

  Matt stopped what he was doing, his smile completely gone as he asked in a gruff voice, “We?”

  I realized what he must have thought so I quickly explained, “Aubrey bought it for me.”

  His eyes lit up and he licked his lips. “Nice. That sounds like a good time. Should we invite her in here when she gets back?”

  My mouth popped open at what he thought Aubrey and I
did. “Very funny. No. She bought it for me so I could,” I stopped not wanting to tell him the real reason. “…learn.” Was all I could come up with.

  “Learn what?” He sat up a little straighter, intent on hearing what I was going to say. I rolled my eyes and started to get off the bed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. “Vanessa? Learn what?”

  Knowing he was going to just enjoy a good laugh about my shortcomings, I took a deep breath and spit it out. “How to give a better blow job.” I swallowed and started to try to wrestle my wrist from his grip.

  Matt’s eyes seemed to pop out of his head as he asked in all seriousness, “Really? You did just fine at the conference.” He gave me a sweet smile as I rolled my eyes. “No really. You were great,” he insisted. His eyes turned seductive and he gave me that half smile. Fucking sexy as hell. “Let’s see you practice.”

  I huffed as I tried to grab my vibrator from his hands. “I’m not doing that!” He quickly pulled it back, laughing.

  “Come on. Let’s see what you’ve got, baby,” he teased as he started to rub B.O.B. against my lips.

  I smacked it away and rolled my eyes again. “No,” I said, this time more insistent. I was embarrassed enough. I didn’t need him watching how horrible I really was at that.

  He pushed me back onto the bed, my towel falling open as he straddled me. All naked. His heavy hard throbbing cock was resting on my stomach. He took the vibrator and turned it on. He ran it over my neck as I giggled. It was tickling me, but Matt was making me wet just by being so playful in bed.

  He took the vibrator and ran it down my chest to my breasts. He circled each nipple with the vibrator. The rumbling of the vibrator left my skin tingling and so turned on in its wake. Then he ran it along the side of my stomach and then across. Looking into my eyes the whole time to see what this would do to me; he watched my reaction. He smiled as I swallowed slightly and pressed my lips together. I had stopped giggling and was seriously enjoying what he was doing to me.

  He rubbed it around my breast again and took his other hand to his hard cock. I watched him as he stroked himself slowly with that half smile of his.

  “You like that, Vanessa? Do you like that vibration?” I gave him a brief nod.

  He gave a small chuckle and then took the vibrator next to his cock. His was most definitely larger as I glanced down at the difference. “What do you think, Vanessa? Would you rather have this one inside of you?” He held up the vibrator, “or this one?” he glanced down to his own cock.

  “Yours,” I barely said loud enough.

  He smiled a little more. “I didn’t hear you, Vanessa. You need to speak up.” He took the vibrator behind him and ran it in between my legs slowly before finally resting it right at my wet opening. I felt like my eyes would roll back from the phenomenal pleasure of the vibration. Just resting it in between my slit and gliding it back and forth was about to make me come. He tilted the vibrator a little more against my clit and I began to moan, “Oh…Matt.”

  “Did you say you wanted me, Vanessa? Or this thing?”

  I couldn’t catch my breath as another moan escaped my lips. “I…I don’t care right now.” I just want something in me. Suddenly he turned off the vibrator and I felt the immediate urge to grab it from him and turn it back on. I popped my eyes open. Matt had a satisfied Cheshire grin.

  He leaned down as he tossed the vibrator to the side. He growled into my ear, “Looks like you like that thing. Maybe you should use it more often if I’m not around. I like that thought of you pleasuring yourself.” He kissed me right under my ear, “Touching yourself.” His lips brushed against my cheek. “Shoving it in your wet pussy. Making yourself come.” He began to nibble on my ear, then ran his tongue over my neck and kissed me tenderly.

  I squirmed from his little teasing act. I pressed my thighs together and he looked up at me as he was beginning his descent down to my breasts. He chuckled as he gripped both my thighs and spread them apart. “Trying to give yourself some relief?” He placed his knees under my legs, so I couldn’t close them. Then he cupped both my breasts, squeezing them together.

  “Damn you’ve got fantastic tits. I think my cock needs some attention too. What do you think, Vanessa?” My eyes widened, unsure of what he meant. I watched him inch up my body and place his cock in between my breasts and move back and forth, fucking my breasts as he pinched each of my nipples. My hands immediately reached up to feel the tip of his cock. I flicked my tongue out to taste him. Salty and sweet mixed together as I licked my lips and then his cock again.

  “I wouldn’t mind giving you a gorgeous pearl necklace right now, but damn I’d rather be inside your tight wet pussy.” He moved his body back down and took each of my legs and spread them as wide as he could. It was quite the stretch for me and I realized how vulnerable I felt as he looked down at me.

  “Vanessa, you have the most beautiful pussy I’ve ever seen.” As I took in his compliment, his other hand reached down to his cock and he ran it back and forth along my wet slit, making me squirm like he did earlier with the vibrator.

  I was just about to beg him for his cock when he slowly entered me. We both moaned as he gradually slid himself further in me. His hand returned back to my leg and spread them further as he thrust hard into me.

  He started out slow, but then began to thrust harder and faster. Then he brought both my legs together, right up to my head as he pounded harder into me. I never knew I was so flexible and it felt fantastic. Sexy. The angle from which he was pounding into me felt fucking amazing. “Oh, yes,” I moaned as I felt him thrust harder and harder into me.

  “Take it, baby. Let me see your gorgeous face as you come from my cock,” he growled. Excitement coursed through me that he was commanding me. His thrusts became harder and more intense inside of me, building and taking me higher as my breaths became more shallow.

  I came so intense, my pussy shuddering around his cock as I moaned out with pleasure. He kissed me rough, thrusting his tongue into my mouth, kissing me hard as I started to come down, breathless.

  “Feel good, baby?” I barely nodded as he lifted himself slightly and pulled my legs off to one side. He started thrusting slowly into me as I watched him moan. I was mesmerized by his intent to please me; his gaze on me as our eyes locked while he shoved his cock in me. Before I knew it, I was starting to reach another height as he thrust harder and faster into me.

  “Fuck, I love your pussy, Vanessa,” he growled as I watched his intent expression as he worked so hard to bring me to another orgasm. I’ve never had a partner try so hard to try to make me come again. He was insatiable; as if his only goal was to make me come again and again. I placed my hand on my lower ab, feeling his cock inside of me as he drove into me faster and faster. “Oh yes Matt, yes!” I screamed out not caring if anyone heard me. My orgasm ripped through me, taking me before I even realized I was there. Matt smiled down again at me, proud of his caveman display. All I could do was try to catch my breath.

  “What’s your favorite position, Vanessa?” I couldn’t answer, which only seemed to please him more. He pulled out of me quickly, making me feel so empty. He immediately flipped me onto my hands and knees, pulling my ass into the air as he gripped each side of my hips. “I’ve been wanting to take you from behind again the second you bent over to pick up that file in my office.” What file? I couldn’t remember what the hell he was talking about, much less what my name was anymore. “God, I love your hips, Vanessa,” He grumbled as he guided his cock to my wet pussy and shoved himself hard and fast into me, knocking the breath out of me.

  He reached down and pulled the nape of my hair, riding me as if I were a bronco. I didn’t care because he felt so fucking good from behind. He grabbed my breast with his other hand and pinched my nipple tightly as he rode me hard. He let go of my hair and grabbed my hip again. “I’m going to come so fucking hard in you, Vanessa.” He thrust harder and faster. I could barely breathe realizing I was going to come not only from his cock, bu
t also by his words of how badly he loved fucking me. His grip on my hip became tighter as his hand left my breast and it grabbed my other hip. Thrusting harder and faster, his hard thick cock went so deep inside of me.

  I moaned as I felt the wave of my orgasm rip through me and I heard him grunt, “Fuck yeah, uhhh.” He pumped a few more times into my pussy as I heard him continue to grunt in that caveman way that I was starting to love so much. He mumbled something inaudible. I thought he said something like, “What you do to me.”

  I collapsed onto the bed as he lowered himself onto my back, laying heavy on me. He lay soft kisses along my cheek and then to my ear. “I’m so sorry, I only gave you three. I couldn’t wait any longer. You were driving me crazy,” He surprised me by saying ‘only three.’ That’s two more than I’ve ever come with any man and probably three more than Charles actually.

  I didn’t want to think about him right now though. This new relationship — friendship with benefits thing we were having is fantastic. Well, at least in the sexual way. I laughed to myself thinking about that fourth item I never wrote down on my list. Matt was definitely meeting that qualification. More sex was definitely something he was giving me.

  ******

  Charles sent me a text that he wants to see me. I couldn’t deny him since we hadn’t seen each other in so long and this “thing” with Matt was getting more and more intense.

  I told Charles I would meet him Sunday, knowing I could probably tell Matt I was going to meet my parents for something. Charles asked that I come to his apartment, but I knew that wasn't a good idea. It told him I’d rather meet at a restaurant near his apartment.

  I stood at the stove, making scrambled eggs for Matt when he came up and leaned on the counter next to me. “So I was thinking that before we go to Mel and Flynn’s for dinner that we head over to this winery that’s nearby. We could spend the day wine tasting and strolling through vineyards.”
