“Why would they do that?”
“Because they’re putting millions of dollars into us. They want to make sure that they’re making a good investment, and that they won’t get caught up in some scandal. That, and it makes for good promotion.”
“But they can’t get anything on you. You’re plain, just like me.”
“I am, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try to cause trouble. They’d do anything, even pit us against each other.”
“But that won’t work.”
“Not unless you give into them. Don’t expose yourself to the limelight. Stay away from the cameras. Shit, wear a burka if you have to. They’ll try anything.”
“A burka,” she laughed.
“Maybe I’m going too far, but I know that you won’t appreciate the added attention, so I want you to be ready.”
“Short of having to get a security detail, I think I can handle it. If things get ugly, and there’s death threats, things like that, then I’ll worry about it.”
“I won’t let it get that bad.”
“Whatever happens, so long as you’re here, I won’t mind.”
“I feel the same way. The media is the only thing in this world that truly scares me.”
“Why?”
“It’s money at the expense of everyone involved, and they play dirty tricks. One player, who turned out to be gay, was caught with a prostitute they paid to make a sex tape. They spammed it on every NFL site they could find.”
“Oh my God,” she gasped.
“That’s what I’m talking about. It’s dirty tricks.”
“We just have to be secure with ourselves.”
“And what we have,” I met her eyes, and she looked away, her cheeks blushing.
“I think we’ll do fine.”
I went back to my food and finished every bite of it. Then I went back for more chicken, and she broke out a bottle of wine. We took it to over to the couch and started talking about our house on the hill, and what we wanted to do when we finally graduated. Ava’s dream, which I’d been trying to get out of her for a while, was to be an author—of course.
She was sheepish about it, smiling and turning away like it was just a childish fantasy, something that could never happen in her world. It could happen in mine, though. I told her about how my father pushed me into my business major and told me that he’d find me a job at his firm. It wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, though.
She went on to tell me about how my degree could take me anywhere. I could use it in any industry that I wanted. I’d never actually sat down and thought about that. It was an enticing idea, but it was too much for the moment. It was meant to be simple.
She was laying on the couch with me with her head resting on my chest, and her eyes looking up at me. She didn’t need to wear anything to be beautiful, but she always dressed up with me. She had on a lilac top, contrasting with ebony curls, and a pair of white pants, so tight I could see the outline of her panties.
I had my hand wrapped around her stomach when she sat up and turned to me. “I got you a present.”
“You didn’t have to get me anything.”
“I wanted to.” She stood up and walked into her room.
“What is it?”
She didn’t say anything, so I folded my hands and waited. I wasn’t sure what she could possibly get me. I had everything I wanted, but the gesture meant a lot. I knew that she was doing it to pay me back for what I did for her family.
I saw her shadow pass over the door and looked up. She was leaning against the doorframe now, wrapped in a nightie, a tapestry of millions of tiny, white lace flowers. I could see her dark nipples peeking through the translucent cloth, and the outline of her hips, succulent mounds of flesh. My cock was hard instantly.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Ava
The last thing I saw before Channing jumped off the couch was his cock ready to burst out of his jeans. He would’ve toppled me to the ground when he rushed forward had he not had his hands behind my back, holding me steady while he ravaged me with his lips and I stepped backward.
I fell on the bed, and he crashed on top of me. I saw his hips rise behind him. Then he crashed down and rested his bulge on the space between my legs. His lips were rising and falling as his kiss moved deeper, and my eyes fell closed.
The pressure of his cock pressed against my lips brought a hot, shuddering sensation spreading out from between my thighs, up my body. It rested just below my belly button and danced with his lips, his tongue swishing against mine. The gentle caress was heaven. His finger trailing down my side an angel feather, smoothing the lace against my skin.
He was diving deeper now, and faster, his head turning slowly, his hand resting on my stomach while he dug his bulge between my legs. I could feel the head piercing through, resting on my lips. It jumped, and a burst of moisture flowed out.
His tongue pulled out, and his hand moved lower, his fingers streaking down the small of my back, over my hips. He pulled me closer, and his cock moved deeper as his lips pressed against my chin, his breath flowing down my neck.
The warmth spread, a fire growing down over my throat, back behind my ear. His teeth didn’t push through, not yet. He sucked on the skin, let it fall, and pulled it in again while he reached underneath the lace and pulled his hand up, over the sensitive skin on my stomach.
His tongue flicked over my earlobe, drew it in, and he bit down—hard. The breath caught in my throat, and he pressed his teeth in, pulled them out and dug them in again while his hand pushed further up my stomach, closer to my breast.
His kiss fell lower, and his teeth with it, digging into the side of my neck, teasing it with his tongue, and his cock was dug deep between my legs. I could feel him pulling it back, then pressing it in. It moved up and parted my lips. I gasped, and his finger passed over the tip of my nipple.
My voice bubbled out, and he cupped my breast, all while his hips moved. His cock pulled in and out. He lifted his head and met my eyes. The look he gave me was one of sheer enjoyment. He was taking me in, enjoying the sound of my voice as it escaped my throat, and exploring my body with his free hand.
It wasn’t the physical sensation that enticed me; it was his need for affection and the idea that he wanted me to be happy. He didn’t care about how he felt. He got his pleasure from watching my face, and the way it clenched up when he clamped down on my nipple, or the way my body jolted when he slammed the full length of his cock between my legs.
That was a kiss, his touch another, and his hand pulling down my side, the other circling my areola. This wasn’t about pleasure or sex. We were making love, and that was completely different. It added another level to the experience. I didn’t just enjoy his touch or want it. I needed it. I needed to feel his fingers like a warm breeze, stirring fire up inside me, and his eyes drinking in my chest when he moved up to taste my lips. Those eyes were magic.
His tongue was a wand, enchanting my lips, enthralling me with its taste, its force, and skill. His cock was moving faster, and I could feel it jumping, pressing through my lips, teasing out moisture, and a pool growing beneath my stomach, trickling out with every thrust.
He reached his other hand up under the lace to cup my other breast as he planted kiss after kiss down my throat and over my chest. His thumbs were flitting over my nipples, like sparks adding to the flames that were shooting down my stomach, melding with the pool. It was boiling now, scorching hot, and it was beginning to boil over, fueled by his kiss, and his body moving down mine. His cock slid over my thigh, down to my knee as he kissed the tops of my breasts and moved further down, into the space between them.
My nipples were standing up straight. I could feel them harden in anticipation. He had one finger making a ring around the other rim, sending out fire and a sense of anticipation that built up, filling the pool and exciting my senses. His tongue flicked my nipple.
The jolt was instant, and my legs snapped closed. He met my eyes with a giggl
e, let his tongue press through the lace, the mesh digging into the edge of my nipple as his tongue made a heavenly ring around it. His hand pulled down my stomach, his fingers caressing the sensitive skin like fine silk, and rested on the hem of my nightie.
He was staring at me now, pulling the nipple through his lips, letting his tongue flow over it, like wet flames pounding at my heart, flowing down my stomach. The pool was growing, boiling hotter and hotter, and the pressure between my legs was building. His teeth clamped down on my nipple.
“Oh, God.”
His smoky laugh hit me in the gut and sent my stomach fluttering, my legs trembling. He had one finger clamped down on my nipple, moving it between his fingers while he bit down on the other. His teeth were sharp, jarring, but so sweet, rough and sensual, like his hands slowly pulling the nightie up higher, rubbing the lace against my side.
I could feel him grinding his hips up and down my legs, the denim grating against my skin. He lifted my nightie up off my head, and the white veil fell down to the floor beside him. That moment, while the fabric caught the air, seemed to last an infinity. His lips had moved onto my nipple, and his hands were gently moving down my sides. He rested them on the top of my hips and kissed the space between my breasts.
Then he looked at me, and his kiss moved down, just an inch, but it was enough. The anticipation was growing inside me, and my lips were bright red, opening and closing like a blossom grabbing at the open air. His hand moved closer, away from my hip, along the top of my thigh.
The moisture was pooling up under me. The burn was unimaginable, and his lips—there was nothing sweeter than those smooth, succulent mounds of pure affection, like love embodied. Every kiss was a reaffirmation of the connection we had, and his need to bring me pleasure.
He kissed my belly button, and his finger squeezed through the space between my thigh, over my lips, and rested on the space between them. I lifted my head to watch, filled with both terror and excitement. I wasn’t afraid of him. I was afraid of what he would do to me once he took hold.
The pool inside me was raging, seething, and it was ready to burst out. I could feel it pressing through, between my legs and out my opening. It was more than a trickle now. His finger had made it a wave, rushing forward, pushing past.
His finger moved deeper and rested on my opening. The heat caught me in its grip, and I clenched tight, my lips pursed, and my teeth bit down on the back of my lip. I was pulling back, trying to get away from it, but he was pushing forward, and the tip of his finger pressed through.
The warmth and the feeling of his skin scraping against mine sent a shiver flying up my spine, and my head flew back. He pressed in deeper, and time seemed to stop. He was inside now, but I was still stuck in that moment when he pushed through, and my body began throbbing, pulsing, begging to take him in.
He pushed through deeper and slid down onto his knees. He grabbed onto my legs and pulled them open. Then he was on me, his tongue sweeping across my clit, down to the tip and up again, like a hot whip while his finger twisted through me, past his middle knuckle. Then he pushed it all the way in.
Something burst, and the pool started flowing, rushing through me now, as if my body were being drained, sending clouds, like heavenly wisps, eating my skin with tiny, electric teeth. They shot up my stomach and spread out across my chest, down my arms.
He was still swinging his tongue back and forth across my clit, then down, closer to my opening. He curved up through me, and his my spot hard, sending a mind-altering shock through my body. There was a storm building up.
His hand moved up my stomach and rested on the edge of my nipple while his finger pressed into my spot, deeper now, moving back and forth, over and over again. Spots were growing over my vision, and my head was laying back. My eyes closed and I was swimming, my skin tingling, my stomach jumping.
His finger was attacking me. It had become a lightning rod, taking in all of the passion and affection between us—his touch, my reactions—and channeling it into the tip so he could shoot it through me. The effect was astounding, but it wasn’t satisfying.
His finger was thin, and my body was begging to be filled. He pulled back away from my spot, then drove back through again and pressed up into it so hard that the pressure inside me rose to a breaking point. My legs were trembling, and he was staring right at me, moving his finger back and forth over it while his tongue swept slowly down my clit.
His breath, his tongue, his finger—all a carefully composed symphony, but nowhere near as compelling as the sight of him standing up. His cock was hanging low, resting against his thigh, and he was pulling up on the hem of his shirt.
The thrill wasn’t the skin or the trail of hair leading up his stomach. It was the way he did it. Normally, it would’ve been stylish, with a playful grin while he took his time. This was different. He wasn’t teasing me or playing with me. He was exposing himself to me, and that wasn’t the same at all. It was intimate, romantic, and beautiful in a way, because when he tore his shirt off and stepped out of his pants, he fell on me. There was nothing between us, no cloth, no lace: just raw flesh.
Then his tongue poured in, and we weren’t just connecting. We were trying to become a part of one another. He was exploring me with his hands, down my side, over my breasts. His finger passed over the nipple, and his cock was resting on my stomach.
The foreskin pulled over and his lips swam down my neck as his body moved lower, and his cock slid down my stomach and rested on the space between my lips. He kissed my chest, one side, and then another while his other hand moved down my stomach. He gripped his cock by the base, slammed his tongue through me, and curved up into my spot where he rested while he pulled his tongue back.
His hips shot forward, his cock pushed through, and I felt the bush of hair surrounding it graze my clit. He started moving faster, with long, gentle strokes like waves pressing against the shore inside me. The storm that had been building up was growing.
When he increased the tempo, the storm inside me met the wave. It pulled up the water and held it there, dragging more and more moisture with it. It was like a black cloud hanging over the desert, soaking up every drop of water.
His cock was flying through, sliding out. I could feel it against the walls, filling the neglected places, delving deeper than I’d ever thought possible. He knew how to find my spot, and he knew how to play it. He let his head slide over it, sending lightning surging through me. It melded with the storm, and I began to feel the rain sprinkling through me.
At first, it fell in tiny, hot drops, like liquid flames that burned the skin and built up inside me, until they were flowing out. His cock was pounding at me. Skin stuck to skin, and our chests melded together while his hips rose up and down.
He was just as focused on my lips and my mouth as he was on the rest of my body. His kiss was growing more frantic, and his breath was slamming into my face, wrapping me in a warm shell that turned into a blast of fire when he slammed in deep. The storm flew out.
The clouds rolled through me, wet and tingling, passing over my skin, while bursts of lightning cracked up and down my body so fast I lost track of where they were. The electricity was gliding over my skin, sending a chill, and now a ripple of moisture that grew steadily larger and larger until it became a shudder.
He was slamming through faster, his hips like thunder crashing down on me; his cock was a red hot poker digging deeper and deeper. All of a sudden, his head whipped back, and he grunted, sending a warm stream surging through me.
When he collapsed next to me, he wrapped his arm around mine and turned me over so that I was facing him and he could worship me with his lips. He wanted me, and not just my body. He wanted to worship the woman that I was.
Our connection was growing deeper, and I was drowning in it, but I didn’t care. When he pulled back to look at me, his eyes were resting on mine with a smile curved his lips.
“I don’t think I’ve ever fully trusted another person,” I said, “
but I think I can trust you.”
“You can.” He took my hand, resting at my side, and I rolled back to look up at the ceiling. “I want to do everything I can to make you happy. I don’t want you to have to worry about anything: not your mother, not your sister. They can be taken care of, and so can you. You don’t have to struggle the way that you have been.”
“I can’t ask you to do that.”
“You’re not asking.” He scooted closer to wrap his arm around my stomach and lifted his head up to get a look at me. “I won’t let you suffer.” He pressed his lips to mine, and I swooned.
This man walked into my life and changed everything. I told him that I wasn’t going to let him help me, but I was just putting up a fight for the sake of it. I didn’t really mean that. There was nothing that I wanted more than to let him swoop in and take things over. He’d ease all my wounds and heal all the past heartache. I didn’t have to be a poor girl anymore.
He stroked my cheek while my chest rose and fell, and his breath poured down my stomach. I rolled over so that we were facing again so I could get a look at him. I’d looked into his eyes a thousand times, but they’d always been a barrier keeping me from seeing inside him. Now, they were pure, clear pools, and I could see straight to the bottom where there was nothing but devotion, silence, and innocence, clean and untainted.
“When is your game?” I asked.
“Next week—Saturday.”
“So soon. Your life could change, Channing.”
“It already did.”
“Yeah, but…”
He stroked my cheek and smiled. “You’re what matters.”
“You’ve probably been wanting this your entire life.”
“I have, but there’s a lot to it that I don’t want to deal with.” He turned over onto his back. “There’ll be a party that night. If I don’t go, it will be a big deal, and of course, the scouts will be around, and they’ll want to talk to me.”
