I wasn’t exactly hurt that they got married without saying anything to me, but I was a little annoyed. This was wife number three for him, and so I guessed that he was probably pretty sick of the big weddings. Still, it would have been nice to at least have been invited, or maybe just deemed worthy enough to be told ahead of time.
But no, that was typical of Jonathan Forester. He did whatever the hell he wanted without a care in the world. Meanwhile, he expected perfection from his only daughter.
“Is she angry?” one of the guys called out, looking at Lydie.
“No. She just has a resting bitch face.”
“I do not!”
“You totally do, Claire.”
I frowned and took another sip of my drink. This was typical of her, taking the side of some random guys, busting on me all night, until eventually she decided to ditch them and leave with me. She wasn’t usually like this, just basically when she got too drunk. And with my dad’s people providing all the drinks we could want, she was getting plenty drunk.
“Sorry about them,” Tommy said, sitting too close to me on the booth couch. “He can be very obnoxious sometimes.”
I smiled at him. At least he was trying to be nice, and I really shouldn’t be such a jerk to him. Who knows, maybe he would turn out to be a decent guy, someone worth finally giving my V-card to.
That was my biggest shame in life. I was a virgin at twenty-one, basically a social pariah. Well, I would be if anyone knew. I’d had some boyfriends in the past, and everyone just assumed we had slept together, and I never bothered correcting them. The truth was, every time I finally got close to wanting to have sex, they’d leave me, calling me frigid or crazy.
Which was classic asshole guy behavior. They couldn’t get what they wanted right when they wanted it, and instead of working for it or just taking it like a real man, they acted like prissy little babies. I was better off in the long run and I knew it.
But still, I felt like such a weirdo. As far as I knew, I was the only one of my friends that hadn’t had sex yet, and it was like a badge of shame. Sex shouldn’t have been so important, or at least it didn’t seem like such a huge deal to me, and yet I thought about it all the time. I didn’t want to be a virgin, but I also had enough respect for myself that I wasn’t going to give it away to the first horny idiot I saw.
Lydie said I just hadn’t met the right guy to really ignite my panties. And maybe she was right. Maybe I just needed to get it over with.
“Come on, have a shot with us,” Tommy said, smiling like a sleazeball. I couldn’t help but mentally want to gag every time he spoke.
“I don’t know,” I said. “I have to be up pretty early tomorrow.”
“Have some fun, Claire!” Lydie called out, handing me a shot glass.
I frowned at it. “Are you sure? You know my dad wants me up to meet my new stepmom and stepbrother.”
“I’ve never been so sure before in my whole life.”
“I don’t think so. I shouldn’t get this wasted.”
I put the shot glass down on the table.
“Oh come on, Claire. For once don’t be such a virgin.”
I gaped at her, totally shocked. The two guys laughed and took their shot, not really noticing what had just gone down. Lydie stopped short, her whole face falling, realizing what she had just said to me.
“Shit, Claire,” she said quickly. “I didn’t mean it like that.”
“I know what you meant.” I stood up and slipped past Tommy, inwardly praying he didn’t touch my ass. Fortunately, he was too busy checking his brand new iPhone to even notice it right in his face.
“Claire, come on. I’m sorry,” she called after me.
I walked away quickly, anger rising in my chest. Of everyone, Lydie knew how I felt about being a virgin. She knew I was embarrassed about it, like it was some disease or something. She had never thrown it in my face like that before or used it against me. It was worse that she did it in front of some stupid guys over a stupid shot, all because she wanted me to party like she did.
Well, I wasn’t Lydie, but I could still party. I headed over to the bar, winding my way through the crowd, and stood toward the end. The place was packed with people, from normal preppy dudes to your classic Jersey Shore meatheads. We were all the way down in the Outer Banks, and yet if there was a beach, there would be plenty of Guidos and Guidettes, or whatever they were calling themselves.
I watched patiently as the totally overworked bartender filled drinks as fast as he could. For some reason there was only one guy back there making drinks, and he wasn’t even glancing my way.
I stood there for something like ten minutes. I was nearly ready to give up. All of my thunder was slowly subsiding and I was more tired than mad. Frankly, I didn’t really want another drink and was pretty much ready to go home. I was all filled with anger and indignation at first, but the longer I stood there, the more deflated I felt. I had planned on finding a guy and showing Lydie what kind of virgin I was, but that plan was just a stupid fantasy.
Truth was, I never picked up guys at bars or parties or anything like that. Sure, I could flirt, and I’d kissed plenty of guys, but I just wasn’t the outgoing type like Lydie was.
Maybe it was time I just accepted who I was. I wasn’t like Lydie, or like any number of the blond girls in their skin-tight dresses. I was brunette and plain, or at least I thought so.
As I moved to get away from the bar, I suddenly walked directly into what seemed like a brick wall. I stumbled back, shocked.
“Shit. I’m so sorry!”
“Careful there, babe.”
I looked up, ready to tell him off for calling me “babe,” but the words died in my mouth.
The guy grinning back at me was gorgeous. He had stubble all along his perfect chin and bright, piercing blue eyes. His body was muscular and cut, but he wasn’t just some tanned gym rat. His jeans and T-shirt combo made him stand out from the crowd, made him look like he was effortlessly attractive. I noticed tattoos along his arms, disappearing up beneath his shirt. An anchor stood out on his forearm, but I didn’t have much time to inspect it.
“You look like you need help,” he growled into my ear, squeezing into the space next to me.
“Excuse me?”
“This bartender. How long you been standing here?”
“I don’t know. Too long.”
“What are you drinking?”
“Whiskey and soda.”
He looked away from me and toward the bartender. After a few seconds, he waved his hand in the air, giving the bartender a nod. The bartender immediately walked over.
“What can I get you?”
“Beer and a whiskey with soda.”
I gaped at him as the bartender walked away and started making the drinks.
“How did you do that?” I asked.
“Confidence.”
“Seriously, do you know him or something?”
“That’s your problem, you don’t even realize what confidence can get for you.” He stood close to me, his nearness and his smell overwhelming me as he spoke in his deep, gruff voice. “You would have stood here quietly while that guy ignored you.”
“That’s not true,” I said meekly, annoyed with myself for my weak response.
“It’s absolutely true. But don’t worry, babe. I can handle it.”
The bartender returned with the drinks and my mystery man paid for them. He handed me mine and held up his beer.
“Cheers, to getting some confidence.”
I clinked his glass and sipped mine. I felt completely out of my league with this guy. He was basically calling me weak to my face, and yet the way he said it with his cocky smile and the easy way he had about him made me want to listen to him.
“So how do I get more confidence, then, if you’re such an expert?”
“You’re an attractive girl. You just need to get men eating out of your hand.”
“Oh yeah? That something you do a lot?”
> “I eat out girls, sure. Not their hand though.”
I blushed. “I bet.”
The song changed and the guy perked up. “What’s your name?” he asked me.
“Claire.”
“Come on, Claire. Let’s dance.”
“I don’t really dance.”
He slammed his beer back, finishing it off, and then grinned at me. “With an ass like that, you don’t dance?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means you have an ass I’d go home and jerk off to if I weren’t about to grind up against it.”
I was totally taken aback at how forward he was being. I was used to assholes coming up with stupid pickup lines, but this guy was something completely different. He was talking dirty, but there was nothing fake or put-on about it. He really meant what he was saying; there was no doubt in my mind.
And that excited me. I felt my pulse race and the heat between my legs suddenly ignite as he grabbed my hand.
“Come on, babe. I know you can dance.”
I took a deep sip of my drink and then put it back on the bar. “Okay. Yeah, I can dance.”
He pulled me along behind him, out toward the dance floor. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me up close to him as he melted into the crowd. The song was upbeat and fast, and everyone around us was sweating and grinding, a rhythmic mass of pulsing, oozing sex.
I usually avoided the dance floor at places like this. But as soon as he pressed his incredible body against mine and began to roll his hips, it was like instinct took over me. I moved along with him, our bodies grinding up against each other. His hand was on the small of my back, and I wrapped my arms around his thick shoulders, our faces inches apart, his eyes locked on mine, his face serious and intense.
We moved like that together and the world around us suddenly disappeared. Every worry and anxiety I had built up in my chest suddenly evaporated under the powerful and serious touch of my mysterious man. I’d never done something like this before, let alone felt so light and free. I didn’t care who was watching or what they thought; all I cared about was my body pressing up against his. He pressed his leg between my thighs and I began to rock my hips, grinding myself into his muscular body, pulled even closer by his strong arms.
It felt incredible, all endorphins and excitement and pleasure, as he worked to the music. I felt something hard between his legs press against my body, and I didn’t mind it. In the past I would have freaked out that a random guy was shoving his clearly-huge cock against me, but it only made my heart beat faster as we kept dancing. It made me feel sexy and excited all at once. I could tell I was losing myself and I loved it.
Soon, he spun me around, pulling my ass against his crotch, his hard cock shoved up against me. I worked my hips and shook my ass, dancing along with him. He kept the lead, keeping us to the beat, as his hands held my hips. I felt his breath on my neck and it was driving me wild. I couldn’t help but imagine what he was thinking, and what the people around us were thinking, and I loved it.
I couldn’t believe what I was doing. Normally I’d be too worried that someone would see me, maybe one of dad’s business associates. If he found out, he’d probably end up yelling at me for hours about how I embarrassed him and all that crap. I was such a good girl usually and always avoided embarrassing Dad, but tonight I didn’t care. None of that mattered to me at all; it was almost like it all existed in a dream.
The only thing I wanted was this incredibly handsome man. There was nothing else in the world but me and him and dancing, and the pleasure and excitement lancing through my body.
Suddenly, his strong hand slowly moved up my body, touching my breasts, and stopped at my chin. I stared into his eyes, my heart hammering in my chest, and suddenly I knew that I wanted it. I wanted him and I didn’t care if I wasn’t even sure what his name was. I didn’t care because for the first time in my life I felt excited and inspired. He tipped my chin back slightly, and our lips were suddenly pressed together. His soft, warm mouth kissed mine, and his tongue slipped between my teeth.
I completely lost myself right then and there. My panties were on fire, a soaking inferno of need and want. I’d never felt like this for a man before, let alone some total stranger. I didn’t even know his name. I’d never kissed someone without learning their name first, and yet there I was making out with him publically on the dance floor.
He suddenly moved away and began walking off toward the back of the club, tugging me along behind him. I followed, and I knew that I couldn’t do anything but follow. I wanted him and needed to see where things were going. It was a pure animal desire flooding me.
He walked past the VIP and I glanced up but didn’t see Lydie anywhere. We walked toward the back of the club where the bathrooms were. He parted through the crowd like they simply knew that he had to pass. Nobody bothered us, let alone stepped in our way. He ignored the lines and went through toward an unmarked door. He pushed it open and led us into a series of back rooms, obviously halls for the staff. Finally, there was a door with an “Exit” sign. He pushed through that and we were out in the cool beach air in the alley behind the club.
We were totally alone. I knew it was absolutely crazy to follow this guy out here. He could easily murder me or something like that, but I wasn’t afraid of him. Frankly, that worry only heightened my desire and excitement for him. Plus, something was telling me that he wasn’t dangerous.
“This is better,” he grunted, pressing me up against a wall.
“Are you this forward all the time?”
“Only with girls like you,” he said in my ear. “Only with girls that get me fucking rock hard on the dance floor.”
“I didn’t do that.”
“Sure you did. With that perfect fucking body.”
And then he was kissing me again, his hands grabbing my ass and pressing me up against his hard dick. I moaned slightly into his mouth and began to grind up against him, needing it so badly.
“Easy girl,” he grunted in my ear.
“I don’t know what I’m doing,” I said, panting. “I don’t do this.”
“Don’t do what?” I felt his hand move up my leg and under my dress. I shivered as he slipped under my panties, gently thumbing my clit. I gasped as pleasure rolled down my back. Fire and passion raged inside of me, drowning out any part of me that wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing. My body was telling me yes, and I was going to listen.
“I don’t kiss guys when I don’t even know their name.”
“Would that help?”
He kissed my neck as he continued to work my clit. I wrapped my arms around his strong shoulders and held on, standing on my tiptoes, pleasure and tension flooding and warring in my core.
“Yes. I don’t know. Fuck that feels good.”
“I’ll give you a name. But only if you come for me.”
“I don’t think I can,” I said. But as he continued working me, kissing my neck, I knew that was a lie.
“Please. You’re panting. You’re practically about to burst,” he growled, grinning.
He was right. Shit, I’d never been so close to coming from a guy just rubbing me like that before. Normally I needed way more time, but with him it was fast and brutal and totally overwhelming.
“Okay. Okay, you can make me come,” I gaped as he kissed me again.
I began to move my hips with his hand working my clit, over and over, slow and fast circles sending pleasure bolting through my brain.
“I’m close,” I gasped.
“Come on, babe. Come nice and hard for me.”
And it overtook me, pleasure rolling like waves through my brain as my body contracted. I came on his fingers, his masterful, incredible fingers, and moaned loudly, not caring if someone heard. His hot breath on my neck only made it more intense as he whispered dirty encouragement into my ear.
“That’s right, come on my fingers. I love making this soaked little pussy come. I love your slick clit and perf
ect tits.”
Slowly it passed and he moved back, grinning at me.
“Holy crap,” I said, breathing deeply.
He took my hand and pressed it against his big, bulging cock. I squeezed and began to stroke it softly, my eyes wide.
“My turn now,” he grunted. “Think you can make me come?”
“I think so,” I said softly.
“I want to see you suck this cock. I want to see you swallow all my hot cum.”
I gasped and bit my lip, shocked. “First, what’s your name?”
“Nathan. You can call me Nate.”
I blinked and cocked my head. There was something about that name, something really familiar . . .
But before I could think of it, my phone began to buzz.
“Shit,” I said.
“Go ahead.” He nodded at my pocket.
I pulled out my old, beat-up phone and read the text. It was from Lydie.
shiitttttt I’m maddd dunk girl
And two more in quick succession:
siickkk as fuuuckkkk
omg bitch pukingggggg
I wrote back, Where are you? Are you okay?
bathroom bitch just puked need to rally
I cursed under my breath, putting my phone away.
“What’s the matter, babe?” Nate asked.
“My friend. She’s wasted right now and needs some help.”
He grunted, nodding. “Well then, let’s go find her.”
I frowned down at his huge dick, still hard as hell. “I’m sorry.”
He grabbed me by the hair, a soft fist full, and pulled me close. I gasped as surprise and excitement filled me.
“You’ll pay me back.”
“When?”
“Later.” He grinned and let me go. “Come on.”
“She’s in the girl’s bathroom, I think.”
I followed him back inside, back through the hallways, and out toward the bathrooms. We skipped the line, ignoring the loud complaints of other girls. He silenced them with a look and followed me inside.
“What the fuck?” some girl putting lipstick on said as soon as she saw Nate.
“Helping a friend,” he grunted.
“Whatever, perv.”
