I vy

My laughter bubbles up into the night air as Andreas and I emerge from the cute little ice cream shop where we stopped for dessert.

“I don’t understand how anyone could eat mint chocolate chip.” He pulls a face as he looks at my cone in a cup.

“Because it’s delicious.” Taking a spoonful of my ice cream into my mouth, I moan. “Maybe you just haven’t tried the right brand. Here, give this one a try.” I hold the cup out to him.

“Hell no,” he shoots back, making me laugh harder. He’s adamant about his hatred for mint chocolate chip ice cream.

“How’s the raspberry sorbet?” I nod at the cup in his hand.

He holds a spoonful to my lips. “Open.”

I allow him to feed me the sorbet, reveling in the tanginess of the sweet sorbet.

“Mm,” I comment with a nod. “Good, but nowhere near as good as this.”

I take another taste of my ice cream.

A spark ignites in his eyes. “Your taste in ice cream is terrible but I don’t mind watching you enjoy it.” The wickedness in his voice makes my nipples harden.

“Maybe you …” I stop as we round the corner, headed toward the parking area where the car waits for us. “Ari?” I look over at the woman beside her. “Stacey?”

My eyes drop to their intertwined hands.

“Ivy,” Ari greets, surprise obvious in her voice. “What are you doing here?”

I hold up my ice cream as it should be obvious.

“Right.” She nods and then looks over at Stacey, who’s wearing a sheepish expression. “Um, well, you know Stacey.”

“Of course.” I draw out the word ‘course’ because I’m the one who introduced them. “Wait, are you two dating?”

Ari’s eyes flutter and she blinks rapidly. “Well …”

“Let’s talk.” I take her arm and pass Andreas my ice cream with a look that says I’ll be back in a minute.

He gives me a wink.

“What’s going on?” I say in a low voice once Ari and I are a few feet away from Stacey and Andreas.

She runs a hand through her hair. “To be honest, I’m not exactly sure.”

“But you two are …”

“We’re … getting to know one another.”

“In a way that’s more than friends?”

She nods.

“Wait, is that why you’ve been avoiding me?”

“I haven’t been …” She trails off when I fold my arms across my chest and give her a look that says I dare you to lie to my face.

“Okay, okay … Yes, that’s why. Kind of.”

My arms fall to my sides. “You don’t think I would judge you for dating a woman, do you?” The hurt in my voice is palpable.

“No,” she quickly replies, grabbing my hands. “I know you wouldn’t judge me over that. It’s just that ever since we’ve met, I’ve only been with Paul’s stupid ass.

“I didn’t want you thinking I was moving on too fast, or worse using your new friend as a rebound.”

“She’s not a rebound?” I ask just to check.

“No. We’re taking things slow.” A wistful smile covers her face. “But it’s nice, Vee. We have a lot in common and laugh a lot and she’s a great kisser.”

“Kisser?”

Ari nods. “We’re moving slow.” The spark in her eyes is one I haven’t seen in a while. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't deny the happiness emanating from my best friend.

“Oof!”

“Sorry,” I tell her for squeezing her into a hug so hard.

Laughing, she wraps her arms around me.

“I’m always rooting for you, Ari. I don’t care if you were screwing half of L.A. As long as you’re being safe, if it makes you happy, I’ll have your back.”

She pulls back, tears in her eyes. “I really needed to hear that. I don’t even know why I was scared.”

“Because it’s new and you’re happy. Sometimes being happy is scarier than being miserable.” Unwittingly, I look back at Andreas.

“Does Mya know?” I ask.

Frowning, she rolls her eyes. “You know if she knew you would know.”

I cackle. “That’s true.” I nod at Stacey. “I’ll let you finish your date, but we’re having dinner this week,” I insist.

“It’s a deal,” Ari agrees before we rejoin Andreas and Stacey.

‘Thank you’ I mouth to Andreas as he hands me back my ice cream.

“You two look good together,” I tell Ari and Stacey as they stand side by side.

“Are we still on for the secondhand shop next Wednesday?” Stacey asks me.

“Of course.” I pull her into a hug to let her know that I’m good with her and Ari. Then I hug Ari and remind her of dinner this week.

“That was beautiful,” Andreas says as soon as we’re back in the car.

“What?”

“What you said to Ari.” He smirks. “I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I overheard you.”

“It’s true.”

“I know, that’s what makes it special. Now if you could only give that level of acceptance to yourself.”

“What did you—” I stop when Andreas pulls my almost finished cup of ice cream out of my hand and places it on the seat holder compartment between us.

“I think you deserve something special for being such a great friend.”

He doesn’t give me time before he moves over the divider and goes to his knees in front of me.

“This is the main reason I asked you to wear a dress tonight.” His voice is a growl as his hands spread my knees apart and ease my dress up to my waist.

“The panties are a slight problem. But we’ll work around that,” he informs me before his head disappears beneath the fabric of my dress.

“Oh!” I gasp out at the first feel of his tongue against my pussy lips.

The lace fabric of my panties still separates his tongue from my skin, but he’s doing his best to melt the fabric from my body.

Riiip!

I push out a shaky breath as the sound of my underwear being ripped to shreds echoes around the backseat of the car.

I truly hope the driver can’t hear my loud moaning, but at this point I’m beyond caring enough to stop. It doesn’t take long for me to come.

“Your mouth is fucking magical,” I pant while Andreas moves up the length of my body. I cup his face and trace his lips with my tongue. For some reason I can’t get enough of tasting myself on him.

“Now it’s my turn,” I tell him. I push him away. “You sit.” I point to the seat I was just in, making us switch positions. Thankfully, the backset is roomy enough for me to navigate until it’s me on my knees in front of him.

“Ivy, you don’t have— Shit!”

I squeeze his dick through his pants.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Keep it up and you’re begging for another spanking.”

Yes, please.

That was all I needed to hear before I squeezed him again. I unzip his pants and maneuver my hand to pull his dick out. There’s already precum leaking out of the tip.

I cover it with my mouth, suckling the tip for a bit, using his precum as lubrication. The moment I feel Andreas’ hand at the back of my head, I take him deeper into my mouth. He doesn’t press hard enough to make me choke on his cock, but his hold is firm.

My nipples hurt as they press against my bra. Liquid leaks from my pussy the deeper I take him into my mouth. The moans coming from Andreas just might be enough to make me come again in the back of this car.

“Baby,” he growls at the same time he raises his hips. His dick hits the back of my throat. “Baby … Ivy …” He pulls my hair, his sign that he’s about to come.

I bob my head faster, feeling greedy to taste his seed on my tongue.

Andreas gets the message and relaxes his body. The moment he does, a new tension invades him, making him go rigid. A second later I get my wish.

The first splash of his cum in my mouth is quickly overshadowed by the next one followed by the next. I continue to suck him off as he comes. He’s turned me into a greedy vixen.

And I couldn’t be happier about it.

“Shit!” He curses when I finally release him from my mouth. “Come here.” He eagerly pulls me onto his lap and slams his lips against mine.

We kiss like hungry teenagers who’re discovering kissing for the first time. Or maybe lovers who’ve been at this for years but still can’t get enough of one another.

When we part, we’re both panting, gasping for air.

He wraps his hand around my neck and brings our foreheads together.

“Are you sure you have to leave tomorrow?”
