Game of Throbs Complete Series (Books 1-3)

by Piquette Fontaine

  He grinned down at me. “Like what you see? You must be Charlotte.” He reached out his hand to shake mine and I just looked down, frozen. A flush crept across my face and up my neck. Holy fucking shit. He is even more gorgeous than I thought.

  I finally gather the strength to shake his hand and then I followed his lean, tall frame to his gorgeous face. Our eyes locked. I gasped, the sparks flying between us, killing any thoughts I may have had. “Umm…yes, yes, I am Charlotte. And you must be Cole.”

  He laughed at the obvious discomfort I was feeling. He must know what he does to women or maybe just me. He grabbed my hand and led me over to table, pulling a chair out for me. His hand in mine, made my legs quiver and desire swirled hard and fast in my belly. I pulled my hand away slowly as I sat down.

  “I am sorry if my taking your hand bothered you; you had just seemed frozen to the spot and there was a huge group of people coming in behind us. I figured we should’ve gotten out of the way.” He smiled at me, flashing me a set of bright white teeth.

  Could he get any more perfect? I feel like I am in a fantasy right now.

  “It’s...it’s okay. I just was expecting…” I trailed off as he raised an eyebrow at me.

  “You were just expecting? What? An older, fat guy?” He asked me as he reached his arm across the back of the booth. His dress shirt stretched taut against his muscles and I thought I was going to faint. This man was too much.

  If only he would whisk me away into the bathroom right now to fuck me senseless…

  I shook off the thought. “I don’t know. Anyway, let’s get started shall we? What have you found?”

  He laughed and leaned in closer. I could smell his intoxicating scent, a musky scent mixed with cologne. I needed to focus. He licked his lips and said softly, “Yes, here are the listings that matched what you are looking for.”

  He spread them out in front of me, keeping his head close to mine.

  I had to ignore him and just focus on the listings or I would ravish him right here, right now in front of all of these people. I didn’t even fucking care. This man was driving my insides wild.

  I focused on my breathing and the sheets in front of me. I couldn’t clear my head though. He made my head spin.

  “Do any seem like ones you would want to look at?” He asked me.

  I didn’t even really look at them. Shit. “Um, yeah! All of them! All of them sound great!” I quickly stood up, unsure of what I was doing.

  He looked confused. “You’re going already? But we haven’t finished discussing everything yet.”

  I flushed and could feel my legs shaking. “I know, but I’m sure what you found was great. Just text me a time and place for this weekend. I am free most of the weekend, hopefully you are as well.”

  Before he could say anything I rushed out of the coffee shop, feeling his eyes burning into my back.

  Great Charlotte, just great. Like he is going to work with me now. I am such a fucking idiot.

  I hurried home, so mortified I wanted to cry. I called Sarah on my way home.

  She could hear my concern as soon as she answered. “What’s wrong Hun? What happened?”

  “I don’t know what happened. He is so fucking hot, I lost my mind. I couldn’t think, or speak, or even control my actions. He had me all flustered. And then like a complete fool, I just fled the coffee shop. I am so embarrassed. I can never see him again.” I said.

  “Aw Char, it’s okay. He must’ve been really something to do that to you. You usually carry yourself very well around attractive men. Look how quickly you brought Max home the other night, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.” Sarah said.

  “I know love, I know what you mean. But I don’t know about this man. He is something different, something I can’t even explain. Even when I talked to him the first time on the phone, his voice drove me crazy. Desire was coursing through me and when he came up behind me in line at the store, I could feel his presence before I even knew it was him.”

  “Damn girl.” Charlotte whistled through her teeth. “I don’t even know what to say. I wish I could’ve experienced that for myself.” She laughed.

  “It is pretty crazy. But he is a bad boy, oozing with sex appeal. I am sure he has women at his beck and call. Not the type I am looking for.” I said.

  “Hey you never know. So are you going to see him again?”

  “Yes, he is going to show me the houses he found for me. I hope I can make it through without combusting or better yet, orgasming as we view each house.” I giggled and Sarah laughed loudly.

  “Oh my God, Charlotte, you kill me. Maybe you can have some sex in one of the empty houses.” Sarah was still laughing.

  “What a story that would be, huh? I will keep you updated on what happens. I told him to set up something for Saturday.” Nothing would happen, he was not my type. I am simply finding a house for myself. I would ignore my feelings and think of this as solely a business transaction. I could do that right?

  Chapter 5

  The week passed slowly and all I could think about was seeing Cole on Saturday. He had texted me the day after our disastrous meeting, saying he would meet me at the first house on the list at 10am. I tried to put him in the back of my mind but he was all I could think about.

  The attraction was strong; I had never felt anything like it before. If he didn’t reek of the word dangerous, I would be all over it. But I just had a feeling I would be playing with fire if I pursued my feelings for him.

  Maybe I did want to be burned though. It would be fun. And so sexy.

  No, no. I didn’t want the hurt that would eventually come with it.

  Saturday morning had arrived. I got up early and prepped myself as if I had a big date. I don’t know why but I wanted to wash, shave, and lotion every part of me. Finally when I was dressed, I headed over to the first house on the list.

  I pulled up and there he was standing on the front porch. I could’ve spotted him a mile away. My stomach did a few flip flops, desire running deep inside me. There it was again. I could feel all of my coherent thoughts going out the window. Fuck, I needed my head right now. Get it together Charlotte.

  I parked my car and got out, taking a deep breath. I could do this.

  I walked up to Cole confidently, my head held high. He was watching me intently. I did my best to fight the feelings, keeping things professional. He smiled. “Good morning, Charlotte. Glad to see you again.”

  “Thank you, glad to see you again as well, Cole.” I smiled and he opened the door to the house.

  “You ready? I think you will like this one. It has everything on your list; it is just a little over your price.” Cole said as he walked inside.

  I followed him in and couldn’t take my eyes off his ass. He was a fine specimen. He led me around the house, pointing out the key features I had wanted in the house. I tried to pay attention as best I could but all I could really see was his gorgeous body walking in front of me. He asked me a question. What??

  “I am sorry, what did you say?” I could feel my face heating as I looked up at him.

  His eyes grew dark. “Are you paying attention there, miss?”

  “Ye...yes I am. I just was admiring a few things in the house and didn’t quite hear you.”

  “I asked you what you thought.” He said, a grin starting on his face.

  What I really think is let’s go fuck on the floor and christen this house.

  I shook my head to clear my thoughts and saw him chuckle. He must know he’s driving my insides wild. The cocky jerk.

  I inhaled and answered him. “I really like it. I like how it has everything I want and the convenient location. I just don’t really like the price.”

  He nodded. “Well remember, we can always work on the price. You can offer lower, of course, and sometimes you need to pay a little more to get everything you want.” He winked and I felt my panties get wet. His mouth is so luscious; I want to feel it on every part of me.

  “Yes, you are rig
ht. This is definitely staying on my list.”

  “Good. On to the next one, then?”

  I nodded and followed him out, watching his body move effortlessly. I wanted to wrap my entire body around his and get lost in him. What the hell am I thinking?

  We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon looking at 4 more houses. I liked them all. Two of them didn’t have everything I wanted but had other positive attributes that made them possibilities. This was going to be a tough decision.

  My desire for him grew stronger as the day went on. I couldn’t help it, he just oozed sex and I wanted every part of it even though my brain was screaming no. He knew the effect he was having on me. He grinned and laughed every time he caught me staring at him. He would lean in close to me at times he didn’t need to, or brush against me as he passed by.

  And then it happened.

  We were in the last house together, admiring the backyard and enjoying the afternoon sun. We had sat down on the steps next to each other. He looked over at me, studying my profile.

  “So Charlotte, what is your story?” He asked.

  “Um, I really don’t have a story.” I shrugged.

  “Everyone has a story; a gorgeous woman like you must.”

  I could feel myself turn red from head to toe. He called me gorgeous. My desire only grew. “Okay, well. I work for myself as a psychologist at a practice called Southeast Counseling. I am buying a house for myself because I think it’s time to make this big purchase and to invest my money in something. I am tired of paying rent. I work hard for my money, might as well put it to good use. What about yourself?”

  He glanced down, and then looked back up, his intense gaze holding mine. “I sell houses and for fun, I like to go out, ride my bike, and get into trouble.” He winked at me, nudging my arm.

  I giggled. “Trouble huh? You do look like the type, I must say.”

  “Oh really? And what type would that be?”

  I looked away. “You know...” I played with the hem on my skirt, feeling nervous and excited all at once.

  “No I don’t really know but please do enlighten me.” He had leaned even closer now, my legs trembling from the heat. The sides of our bodies were touching and I was melting, my panties soaked. I could barely breathe.

  I turned to look at him, licking my lips ever so slowly. I tried to think of what to say but I was mesmerized by his face, his beautiful, chiseled face.

  Then his lips were on mine and he crushed them against me. He ran his tongue along my mouth, pushing gently so I would allow him in. I did and he deepened the kiss, our tongues playing and exploring with each other. He ran his hands over my legs, up my side, traveling slow up to my breasts. I leaned into him, passionately kissing him back, my mind exploding with want and need.

  He broke away and we both were panting. “Holy shit.” He whispered under his breath. He glanced at me, his eyes boring into mine.

  I couldn’t even speak. I was frozen, his kiss had been unbelievable. I could feel the sparks flying, in my head, on my lips, running between us and surrounding us. I wanted him so bad I could taste it.

  He stood up and offered me his hand. I took it and he led me into the house. He shut the sliding porch door behind us and then lifted me up and onto the kitchen counter. I gasped. No man had every lifted me with such ease before.

  Cole stepped in between my legs, running his hands along my body and up to my face. He pulled my face down to his and began kissing me frantically. I could feel his need, his desire, burning through his kiss. With me sitting on the counter, our heights matched, and I was able to feel his torso all over. The muscles were deliciously well toned and muscular.

  He slid his hands up my skirt, his fingers grazing my panties. He broke away from the kiss, panting. With his eyes not leaving mine, he slid my top off, running his hands over my black lace bra. Then he slid my skirt up as he made his way down my body with his mouth. He kissed my breasts over my bra, and continued trailing kisses down my stomach, and continuing down to my thighs.

  He kissed the inside of my thighs, licking and nipping, endlessly teasing me. I threw my head back, running my hands through his hair. I wanted him so bad I couldn’t stop wiggling closer to his mouth. His breath was hot on my pussy and I thought I was going to come right then.

  He trailed kisses up to my clit, pulling me closer to the edge of the counter, so that I was half hanging off. He slide my panties down effortlessly; then his tongue was caressing my clit. I pulled on his hair, a small moan escaping my lips.

  His tongue tortured my pussy, up my seam, sucking my lips, circling my clit; he slid two fingers inside and I gasped, moaning out loud. He slid his fingers in and out, in and out. My mind went blank. Fuck, this feels amazing. I am going to come soon.

  “I’m going to come; I am going to come Cole.” I shouted at him, moaning in pleasure.

  All of sudden, he stopped, right before the orgasm was going to take hold of me.

  “No, no don’t stop.” I cried out.

  “If you are going to come, Charlotte, you are going to come on my cock.” Cole said.

  He unbuckled his pants, freeing his erection. I ran my hands along his warmth, feeling his hardness beneath my fingers. Cole was very well endowed and I couldn’t wait to feel him inside me. He took a condom out of his pocket, and placing my hands on his hips, he ripped the condom open, sliding it down his shaft. “Are you ready?”

  I didn’t even have a chance to answer before he plunged inside me. I cried out in ecstasy. He slid in and out, going faster with each thrust. We fit together like perfect puzzle pieces.

  I couldn’t take it anymore, I screamed his name and came hard on his cock, my pussy squeezing his cock and pulling him in deeper. He found his release seconds later, groaning and whispering my name. “Fuck, Charlotte.”

  Afterwards, we leaned back against the counter, trying to catch our breath. He wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my chest. When our breathing slowed, he pulled away, leaning back to look at me.

  “Wow. That was amazing. And hot. Can I take you out to dinner?”

  I couldn’t help but laugh. “Now you want to buy me dinner after you fucked me?”

  He grinned. “Of course. You deserve to be treated like a lady.”

  I knew it was a bad idea but I said yes. How could I resist?

  Chapter 6

  I flopped down on my bed as soon as I got home. My body was tingling, still full of sensation. My mind was reeling. Fuck. Did that really just happen? Did I really just fuck my realtor in a house I may buy?

  It was incredible; I have never felt such a strong connection with someone. Cole was fucking hot, making my insides wet. I could orgasm just looking at him. But he was only going to hurt me. He didn’t do relationships, I could tell. I am surprised he even liked me, given all of my extra curves and thick hips. I was probably just a pump and dump, like all the rest.

  I had to chock it up to amazing sex. We had that connection because of wonderful sex and that was it. I bet he won’t even ask me to dinner. He just wanted sex.

  I don’t even know if he was still going to help me find a house. If not, I will get another realtor. I will miss staring at his hot ass.

  No Charlotte. Stop it. He is trouble.

  I met Cheryl, Erica, and Sarah for lunch the next day. Sunday was always my relax day, sometimes stepping out to have some fun too. A little shopping and a little dining was all I needed to end my weekend and start my work week.

  I sat down at the table. Only Sarah was there so far.

  She gave me a hug, giving me a long look. “Charlotte, you are glowing. Did your house hunt go well yesterday?” She winked.

  I blushed, feeling the heat creep up my neck and into my face. “Yes, yes it did. I found a couple I am interested in.”

  “And? That’s all you have to say? I want details girlfriend! What did they look like, did they have everything you needed, and are you going to keep looking or what?” Sarah couldn’t contain a
ll of the questions that came pouring out of her mouth.

  I giggled to myself. “Slow down, love. I will tell you everything. It’s funny though, I can’t remember that much about the houses.”

  Sarah stared at me, trying to read my thoughts. “What do you mean?” She suddenly gasped. Her hand flew to her mouth. “Charlotte, what happened?”

  “I couldn’t help it…he kissed me and next thing I know we are fucking like rabbits on the kitchen counter.”

  Sarah let out a tiny scream. “What! On the kitchen counter of one of the houses he was showing you? Omg. How scandalous. How…sexy. Holy shit. Was it good? It must’ve been good.”

  I giggled at Sarah. She was so innocent yet not prudish at all, it was adorable. “I know, so bad. So unprofessional. But Sarah, it was the most mind-blowing sex I have ever had. I couldn’t resist him. The connection we have is insane; I can actually feel it pulsating between us. We fit together so perfectly. I lost sense of everything around me; there was just me and him.”

  Sarah’s eyes widened as she listened intently. “I pray one day I get to experience something like that. I am beyond jealous right now. But so happy for you.” Sarah smiled, reaching over to grab one of my hands. “Just see where it goes. Don’t give up too easy, Char, thinking you already know him. People are full of surprises and you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

  I nodded in agreement. “You are right. Let’s just keep this on the down low for now though, ok?” I asked Sarah.

  “Yes, of course. Give yourself as much time and space as you need. I just wanted you to be aware so you wouldn’t lose out. Sometimes life brings people to you on purpose.”

  Later on that evening, Cole sent me a text. “You were delightful earlier. Let me take you to dinner tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at 7pm.”
