Makin’ the Cut

  The whole ride to his apartment consists of teasing and touching, me as much as him.

  As we pull into the parking garage and I whisper while licking his earlobe, “Please tell me you live on the ground floor.”

  “No such luck, baby doll, I live on the top floor. But I’m sure we can find some way to pass the time on the way up!”

  “Oh, I’m most definitely sure of that.”

  As I pull away and reach to get out of the car, he jumps out and comes around the car to grab my hand.

  “Hold on. Let me grab my bag.”

  He looks confused for a minute.

  I explain. “I keep an overnight bag in my car for when I go to Momma’s. Sometimes we have a movie and wine night and I fall asleep. Just some yoga pants, panties, a tank and a hoodie. Nothing special.”

  He looks at me with a smirk. “Well damn, I was lookin’ forward to you walking around in my shirt. Come on, we’ll take the private elevator up to my apartment.”

  As I throw my bag over my shoulder, I smile. We wait for the elevator to arrive, my hand in his. Damn this feels so natural. The doors open and we step inside. I wait for the doors to close then drop to my knees in front of him. He looks down with fire in his eyes as he realizes what I’m up to.

  I unzip his pants, sliding my hand inside. I feel his hard, long bulge through his boxers as I fumble around for the opening. I find what I’m looking for and slide my hand in around his cock. I pull it free, licking my lips, anxious for a taste. His breath hitches as I slide my tongue over the tip, licking the pre-cum seeping from his opening.

  He wraps his hand into my hair as I lick the underside of his cock before slipping him slowly into my watering mouth. I find a slow and steady rhythm before I add some force and a faster pace. I slip my hand between my legs, rubbing my hot, wet pussy through my pants. I can feel him tensing, trying to slow me down.

  “Damn girl, your mouth feels amazing. But if you keep that up, I’m gonna cum already.”

  His comment excites me. Breathlessly, as his cock pops out of my mouth I say, “Good.”

  I want to pleasure him as he did me this morning. I draw him in and suck harder, bracing one hand on his thigh and the other at the base of his cock. I look up at him as I slide the shaft in and out, teasing the tip with my tongue. He tightens his grip on my hair and I can feel him getting closer. I keep eye contact with him as I pull him back into my mouth with more force. Moving a few more pumps before I feel him spill his seed into my mouth. He calls out my name in ecstasy and I swallow all he has to give.

  As I pull away and start to stand, he pulls me into his arms. “Holy fuck, girl.”

  He slams his mouth to mine. Just as I begin to deepen the kiss, there’s a ding signaling we’ve reached his floor. The doors open right into his apartment. He pulls back a little before lifting me into his arms, carrying me into his apartment. He stops suddenly before walking toward what I can only assume to be his bedroom.

  “If you’re even the slightest bit unsure, now’s the time to tell me.”

  “I’m more than sure. I want this. I don’t know why I keep trying to fight the attraction between us, but I’m done fighting it. It’s as you said, we’re friends with benefits. And sexy benefits they are.” Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him.

  He kicks open the door to his bedroom and carries me to the bed. He lays down, pulling back slightly. “Fuck you’re so beautiful.”

  I reach up, touching his face softly. “Thank you, you’re not so bad yourself.” Unbuttoning his shirt and pushing it from his shoulders, I softly kiss his neck, making my way to his chest.

  He sits up. “I want to see you. I want to kiss every inch of you. I want to take this slow.”

  I gaze at him and pull his face to mine and kiss him as though my entire being depends on it. He makes me feel beautiful. Makes me want to throw away everything I said about never getting serious with anyone. How is it he can so quickly cause me to drop my walls and bare my whole self to him, scars and all? I won’t let my thinking get out of hand though. Right now I just need to enjoy the moment.

  He kisses along my neck down to my collarbone, where he slips his tongue lightly across it. Goose bumps raise across my skin. He pulls my shirt up, watching me as though waiting for me to stop him, when really, I want him to stop this slow torture and just fuck me already. I lift so he can remove my shirt while he unsnaps my bra with one hand.

  “Three hooks huh? A bit of a challenge, but no match for me.” He laughs.

  “Well I need the extra support to hold these bad boys up.”

  He replies, “Mmm, all the more to play with.”

  I start to giggle but then gasp as he quickly sucks my hard nipple into his mouth. He slowly licks and kisses it before moving onto to the other.

  “Wouldn’t want to give one more attention than the other.”

  He has a sly smile as he repeats the same to the other breast before kissing and licking his way towards my navel. I find myself gripping the bed in anticipation for him to kiss me where I can still feel him from this morning. He licks around my navel and descends to my mound. I’m completely shaven, easier maintenance if you ask me. And like a cat stalking his prey, he eyes my sweet treat before diving in and licking me with a force that excites me.

  I attempt to squirm away as he continues to assault my pussy with his tongue, but he isn’t having any of that. He wraps his arms around my legs and pulls me to him, holding me in place as he feasts on me like I’m his last meal. I can feel the pressure building. All too eager for release, I thrust my hips up as I wrap my hand in his hair, urging him not to stop.

  “Oh fuck, please don’t stop. Oh, my god.” I scream before falling over the edge of ecstasy again today at the mercy of this gorgeous man.

  Then he slows his torture again.

  I beg. “Please, Lukah. Please fuck me. I need to feel you. I need to be with you.”

  He raises onto his knees, reaches over me into his nightstand, and grabs a condom. He rips open the wrapper, then slowly rolls it down his rock hard cock as I watch, both excited and nervous of the next step.

  I have only been with one person, and Gavin was nowhere near as endowed or girthed as Lukah. I can feel his gorgeous, hazel eyes on me as I slowly look up. He comes down to where our noses touch and licks my mouth before slamming his lips onto mine.

  In the midst of his kiss, I feel the tip of his dick sliding into me. Holy fuck, that is a sensation I never expected. It feels as though I’m already going to fall over the edge again with only the mere tip inside. I rock my hips urging him to continue, which he happily obliges. Slowly working his way in, stretching me like I’ve never been before. Once he’s settled fully inside my walls, he stills for a moment to let me adjust to his size.

  “Girl, you’ll be the death of me. You feel so right wrapped around my cock like this,” he whispers as he licks my earlobe.

  “Show me,” is all I say in response before rocking my hips to get his attention, silently telling him I want more.

  He gazes into my eyes as he slowly slides his cock from the warmth of my pussy before slamming into me with a force I want more of. I know he wanted to take this slow, but I can’t take it.

  “More,” I gasp.

  That’s all it takes, and he’s fucking me like I begged him to. It isn’t long before I’m again screaming his name as I see stars. We keep this rhythm going and he kisses me so fiercely that I’m digging my nails, piercing his skin, which seems to only fuel him more.

  Sliding his arms under me and grasping my shoulders, he thrusts himself into oblivion. We climax together and it is heavenly. He slumps on top of me, breathing heavy.

  “Holy fuck,” I mumble into his shoulder as I place light kisses on it.

  “Baby doll, I’m not kidding when I say that you’ll be the death of me,” he says, smiling as he rolls onto his side, pulling me to him.

  We lay cuddling, catching our breath when he says what I’m
thinking, “I could lay like this forever.”

  It totally catches me off guard. Shocks me even, causing me to suddenly panic.

  I pull away, sitting up to look at him. “Don’t do that. Don’t use the bliss of an awesome fuck to solidify a relationship. Please don’t do this. What if this doesn’t work between us? I’m still so broken. I’ll shatter what’s already healed.”

  He looks at me for a moment and I almost think he’s about to agree with me, but instead he reaches for me, pulling me back to him. “Savy, baby, I’m not trying to hurt you. I know this isn’t just sex between us. I feel this closeness to you that scares the shit out of me. But if there is one thing my pops taught me, it’s to jump in with both feet. Taking chances are what built not only his company but also his marriage. I want that.”

  I realize I’m holding my breath at that revelation.

  He continues. “I want to jump in with both feet and just take a chance on this. Don’t worry, if you fall, I’ll catch you. We’ll take this at your pace, but I want you to know I’m all in. We’ve got to take a leap of faith and just trust that the other will catch us.”

  I lay quietly, thinking, is this moving too fast? Can the lust really be so strong that it’s clouding my judgment?

  “One day at a time, that’s all I can offer you right now. I’ve got so much going on that I’m not even sure I’m ready for it all. But I can tell you the more I spend time with you, the more I crave you. Confession?” I state.

  “Absolutely,” he replies.

  “When we bumped into each other, I felt a spark and it both excited and scared me. You lit a flame in me that I thought had been extinguished when Gavin ripped my heart out. I made a vow that I wouldn’t let anyone else in. I’m having a hard time letting my walls down, and trusting anyone with my heart ever again is frightening,” I say quietly, almost a whisper.

  He kisses my shoulder softly, working up my neck to my ears then around to where he feathers my lips with a kiss. “I understand. You have every reason to not trust me or anyone else. I know how you were hurt and can promise I’ll never do anything to cause you that kind of pain. I never thought I’d be the settling down type. I didn’t have family, except for Izzy and my grandparents. I mean yes, eventually, I want to get married and have little ones. But I want to be sure it’s with the right person.”

  I’m frozen as he kisses my skin while he talks.

  “I know the stipulations Pops left are set in stone. But I don’t care about them. I’d rather spend time getting to know someone than to be rushed all because of a position. I know it won’t be long before the press finds out about it. They always do. That’s why I wanted you to hear it from me. I was so afraid that it would cause me to lose you. I don’t know what it is about us or you, but I’m just not ready to give you up. I always want to be honest with you.”

  I let that all sink in. “I want to always be honest with you too. I totally understand how you feel about us, because I feel it too. This is unreal and that’s why I’m so leery. Fuck, it’s only been a couple days. I’m afraid it’s all a dream and I’m going to wake up in my bed alone instead of here with you.” I snuggle closer and rub my ass on him, hoping to get a repeat of earlier.

  “Mmm, baby doll, you better stop or else I may have to spank you. I was gentle before; I won’t be able to this time,” he growls in my ear.

  I grind more. “Just fuck me then.”

  He growls again, only this time he flips me onto my stomach and pulls my ass in the air. He reaches for a condom, tearing it open and rolling it on quickly before plunging into my opening. Nothing about this screams soft, sensual lovemaking. This is rough, hot, borderline angry fucking.

  It doesn’t take long for me to soar over the edge. No sooner than I cum, he flips me over, throwing my legs over his shoulders as he plunges his cock into me again, fucking me with a passion I’ve never encountered. The heat in his gorgeous hazel eyes show me more than I think he’s ready to reveal.

  I moan his name as he pumps faster, gripping my hands as though to use them to guide me where he wants me. I lock my arms in that position as he grinds his dick into me.

  “Oh fuck, don’t stop. I’m gonna cum again,” I moan.

  “That’s it, baby doll, cum for me. Fuck, your pussy is so tight, I’m about to cum already.” As he slams into me harder, he has me seeing stars as I hear him roar my name. He releases my hands and moves my legs as he crawls up next to me, wrapping me in his arms.

  Breathing heavy he asks, “Hot damn. That was intense. I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

  I shake my head, “No, that was amazing.”

  We lay there for a while before I hear my belly growl. “I don’t want to move, but I’m starving. You had me work up an appetite.”

  He chuckles. “Well, my little minx, you’re the one who started grinding that sexy ass against me. I’ll gladly feed you, but we have to get up for that. Come on, why don’t we order Chinese or pizza and snuggle up for that movie?”

  I smile, “I couldn’t help myself. You’re so sexy and the feel of you inside me is cosmic.” Then I kiss him before jumping up to get dressed.

  “No, don’t put all those clothes back on,” he begs as I pull a pair of booty shorts and a cami on.

  “Oh, don’t worry, you can peel them off later. But first I must eat before I wither away to nothing.” I giggle.

  He climbs out of bed, pulling on a pair of basketball shorts from his dresser, then saunters over to me. “You better believe I’ll be removing those later,” he says while placing a kiss at the base of my ear.

  We go out to the kitchen and he pulls the take-out menus out.

  “Let’s get Chinese since we’re having pizza with Fia and Rhen tomorrow.” I say as I sit on the counter in front of him. I circle on the menu what I want and watch him order our food, then he pulls some wine from the fridge and pours a glass for each of us.

  Moving to stand between my legs, he hands me my glass. “Red Moscato, your favorite from what I’m told,” he says.

  “It’s the best. Sweet and goes down smooth.” I smile.

  “Momma told me yesterday to have it on hand and told me how you love your coffee in the morning too. She said they’re essentials to be a part of your life, so I asked Graham to pick some up and put in the fridge for us last night.” He kisses my shoulder but then continues. “Food will be here soon. Do you wanna come sit on the couch and start a movie?” He then sips his wine and kisses my lips ever so gently.

  I wrap my legs around him and nod. He lifts me from the counter, and I tighten my legs around his waist while wrapping my arms around his neck.

  As he carries me, I kiss his neck and ear softly whispering, “I love the way you make me feel. I love how natural this all feels.”

  He sits on the couch with me in his lap. “Mmm, yes so very natural.”

  I roll my hips. We proceed to make out rather than starting a movie. About a half hour later we’re interrupted. Knock, Knock, Knock.

  “Saved by the door.” He kisses me and slides out from under me.

  He gets up to answer the door and I decide to put on the movie. It’s probably for the best, things are moving so fast. The sex, holy shit the sex is phenomenal. Better than I ever imagined. But I can’t let it blind me. I mean, I thought Gavin was great in bed, which now I know he wasn’t even close. I giggle to myself.

  “What’s so funny, baby doll?” he asks as he comes in with the Chinese and paper towels.

  “Don’t judge. Promise?” I ask softly.

  He nods. “No judging.”

  “I was thinking how absolutely amazing you are in bed. I only have Gavin to compare you to. I thought he was great, but now I see I was wrong. I also feel like we should slow down a little too. I’m so addicted to your touch that I can’t seem to get enough of it.” I look away while taking a giant gulp of wine.

  He smiles. “I agree that you too are addicting. But I’m also okay with slowing down. You’re proving more and more how worth
it you are.”

  I smile, snuggling up to him. “Good, that’s good. Let’s watch some movies and snuggle and veg out.”

  We spend the rest of night laughing and watching movies and enjoying each other’s company. I must have fallen asleep because I was awakened when he picked me up, carrying me down the hall to his bed. He tucks me in before crawling in behind me and wrapping me tightly in his arms. It is so soothing.

  Last thing I remember is him kissing my shoulder and whispering, “Sweet dreams, baby doll. Thank you for taking a chance on us.”

  * * *

  I wake up on Monday morning snuggled up tightly in his arms. It’s almost as though we didn’t move as we slept. We have breakfast and coffee then shower before getting dressed and head to my place. He brings his overnight bag that includes a suit to wear to graduation.

  Fia comes by, as promised, to pack my things for the competition and try to get some gossip. I refuse her of course. I won’t kiss and tell; we’re still trying to iron out the kinks of whatever this is. He has given me my space and not pushed for more sex. He lets me initiate it, which is pretty hot.

  That night lying in bed, I start thinking of what tomorrow will bring. It sounds cliché, but it is the first day of the rest of my life. I wonder how we’ll make time for us during the competition.

  “What is it, my little minx. What’s on your mind?” he whispers from behind me.

  “I’m just wondering how this’ll work with us over the next few weeks. I’m enjoying this and all, but don’t want the others to think I’m just there because I’m sleeping with you.”

  He laughs. “We’ll find time for us. No one outside of your family and Izzy need to know. I can promise you have nothing to worry about.”

  I kiss his arm that is slung over me. “Okay, if you say so. Sweet dreams, baby.”

  He kisses my neck, whispering goodnight, then pulls me tighter to him and holds me as I think of tomorrow.

  Tomorrow is a big day. I’m so nervous, scared, anxious, and excited all in one. Tomorrow will be the start of what determines whether I can make the cut!
