CARTER

I arrive at Lucy’s apartment with a certain air of expectancy.

I find myself nervous about the date. The small, cozy apartment is an extension of her, filled with evidence of her life and passions.

Every corner is decorated with her unique style, and when I was here last night, I felt honored to be in her personal space.

As I wait for Lucy to answer the door, I take a deep breath to calm my nerves.

The thought of spending the evening with her brings a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Finally, the door opens, and Lucy greets me with a warm smile. “Hey there,” she says, stepping aside to let me in. “Come on in, make yourself comfortable.”

Stepping into her apartment, I take a look around. Everything is just as I remember it from last night. The warm, inviting atmosphere makes me feel at home right away.

Lucy leads me over to the couch, and we sit. The conversation flowed so easily between us last night, I hope we can continue with that. As we talk, I find myself admiring Lucy’s intelligence and wit.

Suddenly, she leans in close to me, her face only inches away from mine. “You know,” she says softly, “I’ve been thinking about you all day.”

My heart skips a beat as I feel her breath on my skin. My body responds to her closeness.

Without thinking, I move in to kiss her. It’s the only way forward with her being this close to me. I want her. I want to sink my cock into her as I ride her into oblivion, but I have to take this slow. A few kisses here and there when she wants it.

Our lips meet in a fiery embrace that leaves us both breathless. As we come up for air, I can see the desire burning in Lucy’s eyes.

“I know we barely know each other, but it seems like I’ve known you forever,” she purrs, settling back away from me.

“I know what you mean,” I murmur, curling her long, brown hair behind her ear.

“You’re the only one I’ve told about my dad in a really long time.”

“I’m glad you did. I will spend however long it takes to make you understand that wasn’t your fault and you aren’t unlucky because of it.”

“You’re sweet, and you have your work cut out for you.

” She smiles sadly. “Patty wasn’t at work today.

She’s sick. I was going to tell her about all of you, but I didn’t want to bother her while she wasn’t feeling well.

I feel like I’m a pot about to boil over. All these feelings are clawing at me.”

“You can talk to me.” I reach over to stroke her cheek. “You don’t have to hide from me.”

“Mm,” she purrs, sliding her hand down my chest.

Her fingers brush against the growing not-so-sudden bulge in my pants, and it makes my cock throb. “Fuck, Lucy. I want you.”

I’m getting more turned on by the second, hot and hard under her fingers. How am I going to keep my cool through this?

Tangling my fingers in her hair, drawing closer as our lips meet again before I drop my mouth, kissing her neck lightly. She moans softly. As I nip at the sensitive skin, I want to take things slow and gentle with her.

As we kiss again, I’m certain this is another moment I’ll want to freeze in time forever. Her gentle touch on my skin is driving me wild.

Abruptly, pulling away, I stand up. “I’m going to have to stop. You’re driving me crazy.”

“Sorry,” she murmurs. “But maybe I don’t want you to stop.”

“What?” I’m confused. I know she and Steele have had sex, and I also know she and Jason haven’t. She wants to take it slow.

“I know what you’re thinking. Why you and not Jason,” she says quietly, looking down. “The truth is, I trust you. Jason has a reputation, and it will take me longer to give my body to him. I hope that makes sense.” Lucy twists her fingers together. “He knows I need to wait with him.”

Slowly, I sit down again, keeping a slight distance because the scent of her perfume is surrounding me and making my brain turn to goo.

“I understand. It makes perfect sense.”

“I don’t usually sleep with guys so soon, but I guess that’s because I’ve never found the ones I trust before.” Her eyes meet mine. Her words flow like liquid gold.

“Although everything has progressed so quickly, I want you so badly,” I whisper. “I’m comfortable with you and telling you about my dad last night was something I haven’t done for a while with anyone. The guys know about the pressure, but somehow, I feel you really understand what I mean.”

“I do. It must be so hard for you, all of you, when the scrutiny is so close. You expect your family to be supportive.”

“He is, don’t get me wrong,” I say, wondering how I went from talking about sex to my dad. Not great for the erection, gotta say. “He is supportive, but in a not-so-subtle way. He tells me when I’ve messed up, and we’ve been doing a lot of that lately.”

“You’ll work it out,” she says, stroking my hair. “You’ve won the last two games, and before you say anything, it’s not because of me.”

“I think it is, in a way. We’re all trying to impress you. You are our lucky charm, but in a different way to the usual.”

She nods, looking pensive. “I guess you’ll find out when you play away this week.”

“I don’t want to go,” I blurt out like a fool.

She giggles. “You have to.”

“I know, and I want to, but I don’t want to leave you. Not now, not when we’re getting closer.”

“I know what you mean,” she says softly. “I want to give you myself before you go.”

“You don’t have to do that. You have nothing to prove, Lucy. Just because you and Steele are there already, it doesn’t mean we have to rush to this.”

“Who’s rushing?” She leans in closer, teasing me by brushing her lips lightly over mine.

“Fuck, Lucy,” I murmur, shoving my hand into her hair. “Fuck, I want to.”

“Go crazy then,” she says huskily, sliding a hand under my shirt and pressing her fingers against my hard chest muscles.

Gently taking Lucy’s hips in my hands, I push her back on the couch, wedging my body between her thighs. Capturing her mouth with mine as I press into her. I want to kiss every inch of her. Biting her lip softly, my blood is on fire. “Do you trust me with your body, Lucy?”

“Yes,” she breathes. “I trust you, Carter. Take me.”

Groaning with restraint at not ripping her clothes from her, our lips meet again in a fevered kiss. As I pull away, I lift my shirt off over my head.

Lucy’s hands roam over my chest and abs before pushing down on the button of my pants, making me hiss with pleasure.

Sliding them over my hips, I struggle to kick them off as my hard-on makes it difficult.

Finally free and going commando, which lights up her eyes.

Withdrawing, I pull her black dress up over her head as it allows me to.

Her skin is so soft, and I rasp as her tits fall free from the black cotton bra as I unclasp it. Fuck, she’s beautiful.

Instinctively, I reach up, flicking her nipple gently with the pad of my thumb before lowering my mouth to take it between my teeth and suck lightly. Gasping loudly, her nails dig into my scalp as she arches into me.

Withdrawing momentarily, she watches me hungrily suck on her nipples until they are peaked and swollen under my mouth. Arching into me again while whispering, “Carter.”

Running my tongue down over her stomach, I plant tiny kisses as I drag her panties down her legs. When her delicate feet are free, I lean back to run my hands down her soft, smooth legs.

“God, you’re beautiful.”

She looks a little shy, lowering her eyes from mine. “Are you admiring me?”

“Absolutely.”

Spreading her thighs and teasing a single finger through her soft folds, I watch as Lucy’s breath hitches at my touch, making my cock throb with a need for release as I fuck her with my finger.

Her body writhes and pulls away so gently under me as she fights to keep control of her heavy breathing.

Fanning my hand over her pussy, I press down on her clit with my thumb, so she cries out loudly.

Unable to stop my grin, I know I’m about to destroy her again and again.

I need her to trust me with her body and believe she has nothing to prove to me; I slow down and drag my fingers up her warm center before resting them on her clit again.

Circling with just light pressure only a few times, she begs for more as her hands swipe through my hair and drop down to grasp at the cushions of the couch.

She spreads her legs further, giving me complete access to taste her.

Sucking at her swollen clit as my fingers flick over it and push into her welcoming heat faster and harder while I devour her sweet pussy like it’s my last meal, thrusting two fingers inside her as she cries out loudly in release, “Carter!”

Even as I lap up every last drop of her cum, begging for more like a wild animal, I want so much more from her.

“Please,” she begs. “Please.”

Staring at me softly panting on the couch, Lucy beckons for me to come closer to her.

As I crawl over the top of her until our chests are heaving against each other again, I sink my cock into her hot pussy.

Pushing in until I’m buried to the hilt, I settle my body, so her legs are pinned beneath my knees.

Rocking back and forth, I stare into Lucy’s hooded eyes as she moans at my unrelenting rhythm.

Thrusting faster and harder with every breath we draw in, there’s no way I’m going to last much longer. Her slick heat envelops me entirely as we collide together under a cloud of passion.

“God, you feel so good around me, sweetheart,” I whisper, kissing her.

Biting down on her bottom lip as erotic tension builds deep in my core and explodes like a supernova, I thrust a final time before going deep to fill her with cum as she surrenders around me, her climax rocketing through her.

Nothing has ever felt as magical as making love to her.

I never want to leave her side now that she’s given this part of herself to me, and it will be hard to play away knowing she’s here.

Staring at her with contentment, I kiss her lips lightly as she strokes my hair back.

“Dinner?” I murmur against her skin as my cock softens inside her warm pussy.

She giggles, that sweet sound echoing in my ears. “Fuck, yes. I’m starving.”
