Chapter 12 - Carter

Vivian was visibly flustered from my display and wouldn’t look at me as she secured her hair into a low ponytail. Her dress was a soft punk and clung to her curves, the kind that came from having a child and had to be some of the sexiest parts of a woman that I’d ever seen. Here in LA, everyone went to extremes to lose all their weight and look perfect, but I didn’t like that. Not in a woman that I wanted to spend any real time with.

Dinner was at a well-known steakhouse in the city and we arrived to be led to a room in the back. It was an open bar and Vivian widened her eyes as I asked her what she wanted. “Just one glass of wine. I need to focus.” She smiled grimly at me and I vowed to get some more into her so she’d loosen up. I liked Vivian with a little wine in her system and remembered the night back in New York as my cock hardened underneath my suit.

We made our way around the room of fellow investors and I introduced her as my fiancée and assistant. Vivian shone like a star compared to the other fake-looking women and handled everyone with a grace that most women didn’t have. She was interested and witty as she laughed and talked to them and I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

This was more of a mingle dinner just to get to know one another. I chatted lightly as I watched Vivian move around. She was stunning and rage filled me when I saw the other men eye her and nudge one another.

We enjoyed shrimp and steak for dinner along with a few other courses as Vivian kept charming the room. She was making me horny as fuck and I shifted in my seat. A blonde woman came to sit down beside me. “Carter, it’s been a while. We met last year at this event.” I took a closer look to see that I did know her. Since I was here with my married assistant last year, I worked the room and ended up going to this woman’s room after dinner. The sex wasn’t memorable though. I nodded at her. “How are you?”

“I’m doing well. How are you?” I asked politely as she blushed.

“It’s Brittany and I’m fine. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later tonight.” Her hazel eyes were filled with hope but the thought almost made my cock soften.

“I have plans. Thank you,” I said. Britanny nodded with a stricken expression on her face, murmured something and got up to walk away. I moved my eyes back to Vivian.

Dinner dragged on and I watched her sipping another glass of wine. She was obviously trying to avoid me, spending a lot of time at other tables. But I wasn’t going to let her forget about what she had seen in our hotel room. I wanted her now more than ever before.

There was a brief rundown of the following two days and we all called it a night. There was going to be an early start to the day tomorrow and I stood gratefully, wanting some alone time with Vivian. We took a cab back to the hotel as she leaned back with a yawn.

“You were a natural out there,” I complimented her and she smiled at me. There was the look of more wine than she had planned on and I licked my lips.

“They were nice, you know? It’s an interesting topic for me and the food…was incredible.” She shook her head and looked out of the window. We rode in silence as I took her in, feeling more than lust and less than love. Once we arrived back at the hotel, I took her to the elevator and pressed the button. Once the doors opened, I led her inside with my hand on the small of her back. I felt her shiver under my touch.

Vivian turned towards me as the doors closed, her eyes wild with heat as she stared into my eyes. “Did I act like the proper fiancée?” Her voice was rough. I nodded. She hadn’t been over-the-top affectionate with me, but classy, with a small touch here and a smile there. One that claimed me as hers and made me want her more. It suggested that she was an animal once she was behind closed doors.

I don’t know who initiated the kiss. We were suddenly pressed together, clutching and grabbing as our lips locked in a hungry kiss. It wasn’t proper at all, but messy and desperate. We moved against the walls with the upward movement of the elevator spurring us on, moans and whimpers filling the air as she tugged hard on my hair.

The doors opened and Vivian wrapped her arms and legs around me as we made our way to the bedroom. I didn’t even look to see where I was going, I was too full of my need for her. I bumped into the door and we both yelped. I finished the walk to the bed as she slid to her knees and sucked my tongue into her mouth.

Vivian slipped my suit jacket off and dropped it to the floor before she loosened my tie. Her eyes were dark and dilated as she worked it with her fingers, throwing it across the room in her haste to unbutton my shirt.

I moved my hands down her body to find the hem of the dress and pull it up, over her head. She was wearing a cream bra with matching underwear underneath and she blushed as I tossed the dress to the ground. I removed my pants with my eyes locked on hers in the dim light of the lamp we’d left on, kicking them to the side as she took me in with eager eyes.

“How is it that you’re hotter than you were back then? You played hockey.”

“I age like a fine wine,” I teased her as she laughed. I crawled onto the bed with her and pressed her back to kiss her again, feeling her wet heat against the lace of her underwear. My cock jerked hard and I took a deep breath. “I want you so bad.”

Our mouths met in a hungry kiss as she lifted her hips against my body, moaning uncontrollably. I kissed her until she was breathless before I moved down her neck and sucked and nibbled at her soft skin. I smoothed my hand over the lace that was covering her nipples as she gasped, finding them hard and ready for me. I remembered how much she loved me to play with them and I hardened further as I reached down to unhook the front.

Her son flashed through my mind as I kissed her further down, needing her in my mouth. Those eyes reminded me of someone and I couldn’t place it as I licked around her nipple slowly, loving the sound of her moans. It was safe to assume that she hadn’t been active in the last few years, based on her reaction and my knowledge of Vivian. I was sure that she had always been monogamous with me, throwing herself into us.

Today was no different as she arched her back to offer me more. I sucked her right nipple into my mouth, dragging my teeth lightly across the skin as she let out a ragged cry. One hand held her around her back while the other slipped between her legs to find her soaked for me.

“Carter,” she moaned as I stroked her over the fabric and bit down gently. It wasn’t long before I found her bare pussy with my hand, stroking her clit firmly as I continued to tease her nipples.

I made her come that way before I slid my hand inside of her to feel her heat. I went deep, sliding my finger into her as she jerked under me and cried out my name. I took a breath and kissed both nipples before sliding down her body to press my mouth to her damp folds. Vivian clutched my hair and I moaned in pain as I circled her clit with my tongue. She was sweet and wet and I ate away at her like she was my last meal, something that I hadn’t enjoyed since my last time with her. I got her to come again, drinking her in as she gripped my hair painfully. I sucked her until she was nearly weeping and pulled away to crawl between her legs and kiss her lips. My cock was hard, throbbing for her as I fed her taste to her. “Are you on anything?”

“I have been on the pill for a while. Are you clean?” Vivian asked as I nodded solemnly.

“I get checked regularly. I haven’t been a saint but I’m always careful. I wouldn’t consider doing this bare with anyone but you.” I was sincere and I saw tears fill her eyes as I stroked her cheeks.

“I trust you,” she assured me as I pressed forward, ready to enter her. “I want you.”

I slipped inside, finding her surprisingly tight as she moaned. She was still wet and I moved deep inside of her, pausing to enjoy the sensation. “You feel so fucking good.”

“You’re perfect. I’ve missed this,” Vivian whispered as we slowly started to rock together. I forgot how perfect we were together as we moved and finally admitted that no other woman felt like Vivian. No other woman made me feel complete like she did. I kept moving, building up speed as I drove myself into her with her hips meeting me thrust for thrust. By the time I started feeling the pressure, I was slamming into her and she cried out for more.

I jerked as I came, crying out her name. I could feel her release against me as well and buried my face inside of her neck as we both recovered. Once I could move, I rolled to the left side of Vivian and stared at her for a long moment. She was beautiful, more so than ever before. I could see the exhaustion in her expression as she rolled towards me, pulling me against her before she fell asleep.

I carefully untangled myself from her and made my way to the living room for some water, taking one of the mini bottles of Jameson while I was there. I knew I was in trouble as I stared over the city. I knew that this was more than a bet.
