The only thing on my mind right now was imagining how good Mae was going to look in a few minutes when she was begging for my mercy.
Once we were dried off, she tugged me in by my shorts, tilting her chin up as our lips locked together. I slipped my fingers through her hair and pulled gently so she was peering up at me. “I thought you didn’t fuck during the pre-season?” Her chest rose and fell, and desire flashed through her eyes with each passing second.
“I was willing to make a one-time exception. Besides, the official season starts Sunday and that’s when it really matters.”
“What did I do to deserve such an honor?” She gasped. “Is this, like, the equivalent to taking your virginity?”
With a laugh, I wrapped her legs around my waist, carried her into the bedroom and tossed her on the bed. Placing both hands on the mattress on either side of her head, I bent down so our faces were only a few inches apart letting the hunger build for a few more seconds.
The equivalent to taking my virginity?
This girl had no idea what was coming for her… literally.
FOURTEEN
MAE
“I wasunder the impression that you didn’t want to be one of my… ‘little whores’, was it?” October’s lips brushed against mine, and the only response I could manage was a raspy moan spilling from my lips as my back bowed up from the mattress. “Aren’t you, though… my little whore? Just for the night.”
I should have been embarrassed at how much it turned me on hearing him call me that. The way those three words had the power to send a shiver down my spine while simultaneously turning my blood to lava was concerning.
With his lips still skimming against mine, he slipped one hand underneath my swimsuit bottoms. My breath hitched, but I made it a point to maintain eye contact with him despite the nerves that were pooling in my stomach. I’d never felt insecure when it came to sex before, but there was something about doing this with October that made me anxious in the best way.
Like years of anticipation had been leading up to this climaxing moment—no pun intended. Yet, there was still atinypart of me that questioned whether or not I was insane for sleeping with the man I’d despised for nearly half my life.
I wasn’t crazy, was I?
The doubt crept through my mind for only a moment before I was hit with the reminder that this was a one-time event. I wasn’t going to allow myself to feel guilty for giving into the attraction between October and I. Or for letting myself have one irresponsible night of fun that I so desperately needed right now. Then, tomorrow, when we woke up, we’d go back to our lives as usual—snide remarks, avoidances, and all.
Simple as that.
I shifted my hips forward wanting to feel the heel of his palm against my clit while he lined up two fingers with my entrance. My head pulled back against his pillows as he drove his fingers inside as deep as they’d go. October dropped down, placing his lips on my exposed neck and sucking hard making my breath catch as thrills ran up and down my body.
Fuck.
My eyes slammed shut and my inner walls clenched around him eliciting a warm, tingly feeling that spread all the way down my thighs and didn’t stop until it reached my toes. Meanwhile, his hot breath against my skin as he drug his lips along the side of my neck made my head spin. It was a full body experience.
Impulsively, I placed my hands on his hips and tried to tug him onto the bed so that I could get on top, but he didn’t budge. Somewhere in my mind drunken haze I must’ve forgotten that he had five inches and a hundred pounds on me.
Honest mistake, really.
His mouth brushed against the shell of my ear and the hum from his breath against my skin made me light up with excitement. “Not a chance, March. Out there I might let you get the upper hand, but in this bedroom, I’m in charge.”
“Okay, but what if we leave the bedroom? If we go back out to the pool can I—"
I could sense the smug smile on his lips as he nipped my earlobe with his teeth and thrust his fingers into me again, harder this time. It didn’t take long before he placed a handful of searing kisses down my neck and chest before pulling the triangles of my swimsuit top to the side and dropping his mouth to my nipple. He swirled his tongue around the peak while toying the other with his pointer finger.
I writhed beneath him, hot and wild. My only thought, though? How wrong it felt doing this in Scarlett’s old room. Sort of like I was defiling a sacred space, or like she had secret surveillance footage of what was happening in here or something. I mean, it’s nothing she hadn’t seen before, but still. It just felt… weird.
Of all the nights we’d spent having sleepovers in this bed, not one of them could’ve prepared me for this present scenario becoming reality.
“You’re thinking about how this used to be Scarlett’s room now, aren’t you?”
“How did you—"
“Like you said… I know you.” His cocky smile was one of the hottest things I’d seen to date, yet it was completely revolting all the same. However, my arousal decided to betray me and the cocky son of a bitch could feel it too. “Just relax.” The seductive stare he gave me while he whispered between my breasts made my skin irrupt with goose bumps.
October continued to work his fingers in and out of me at a steady pace and the pressure from his palm on my clit sent me into sensory overdrive. I slammed my eyes shut, soaking in the waves of bliss as my orgasm began to build at the base of my spine. But as I should’ve guessed, his rhythm slowed and my impending orgasm started to unravel right before me.
