Feeling playful suddenly, I grinned evilly and nipped his thumb. Before he could yank it away, I took it fully in my mouth and ran my tongue over it. The passion it lit in his eyes set me on fire all over again.
Carter stripped his shirt the rest of the way off. I took my shoes off and so did he. Then he went for my sweater, grabbing it by the hem and peeling it up my body like a kid unwrapping a present. Off it went, and I was in my bra and tights.
“You’re fucking gorgeous,” he said, his voice low and gravelly.
“And you’re wearing too many clothes.” I wrangled his pants open and they slid down his legs, leaving him in just dark boxers. I pulled them down and his cock bobbed in my face. I licked my lips and took him in my mouth, unable to resist.
“Fuck, Shelby, that’s good.” He grabbed onto the bedpost, like he needed support to hold him up.
Carter was hot and salty, hard and alive. I moaned around him and he hissed. His other hand caressed me all over, like he couldn’t stop touching me. It spurred on my passion.
His hips started moving, out of his control, and I knew he was close. He tried to pull away. “Not yet,” he begged.
As usual, I refused to listen to him. Instead of stopping, I went faster, gripping the base of his cock and stroking, not leaving him any room to hold back. And he didn’t.
His cock jerked between my lips, making me melt. I swallowed and smiled up at him. His eyes were dark with lust. “Holy shit, Shelby.”
Carter pushed me back onto the bed and he yanked my tights down my legs. My panties, he tore off. Carter would get an earful about that later, but in the moment, it just made me wetter.
He dropped to his knees and licked up my thighs, first one and then the other, working upward until he found my center. His tongue found my clit while his thick finger parted my lips and slid inside me. I gasped and my hips jerked up.
His other hand reached up to caress my breast while he feasted on me. Wild pulses of heat rippled through me. I was too sensitive. I couldn’t hold still. But Carter held on for dear life, keeping a steady rhythm that would either kill me or make me see God.
I couldn’t believe it was Carter Allory with his face between my legs and I couldn’t believe how good it felt. My pleasure peaked, and my orgasm crashed over me, wave after wave, and all I could say was hallelujah.
Pulling just his boxers on, Carter climbed into bed beside me. I curled up against his chest, listening to the sound of his beating heart.
“Thank you, Carter,” I said into the silence.
His baritone chuckle was loud in my ear. “Um, you’re welcome, I guess? I mean, you don’t have to thank me. It was fun for me too.”
I slapped his bare chest lightly. “No, not for that. For the sponsorship thing. I know I freaked out a little, but before that, I had a lot of people coming up to me, being nice and thanking me. People I hadn’t really talked to since everything happened. So thank you for thinking of the idea and thank you for shelling out however much money you spent.”
Carter rubbed my back and I snuggled up even closer to him. “It was my pleasure. And it was the least I could do. It doesn’t make up for my company’s past mistakes, but maybe it’ll be a step toward redemption.”
“For you or for me?” I asked sleepily.
“Both.”
I groaned. “I need to go home.”
“You don’t have to,” he said. “Plenty of room for you right where you are.”
“That’s sweet, but Mrs. Presley will never let us hear the end of it if she knows I spent the night.”
Carter chuckled again. “Why? ’Cause you’re not a paying customer?”
“No.”
“Is she old fashioned?” he asked. “No lady callers after a certain hour?”
“Not at all,” I said with a smile. “The whole point of bed and breakfasts is for couples to have romantic getaways. Mrs. Presley has heard more banging than an old carpenter.”
“Okay, then what’s the problem?” he asked.
“She might not be old fashioned, but she’ll push for us to be a couple,” I said, trying to keep the emotion out of my voice. “Which is obviously something that can never happen.”
Carter was silent a beat too long. “Obviously. Well, she probably won’t be back for a while yet. You don’t have to rush off this exact second.”
