My heart refused to slow down from the excitement bubbling in me. After years, and I mean years, of waiting for this, it was finally here. I looked up at Cole as he flipped up his Ray Bans to smile down at me.
“Does this mean what I think it means?” I asked.
“It means exactly what you think it means,” he returned with a grin. He held up a finger though before I could burst with energy. “We have to keep this quiet though, Vi. Can you do that?”
“Absolutely. I’ll do whatever you want as long as I have you at the end of the day.”
“Good. Now.” He took a step back to gesture for me to hop into the passenger seat. “Why don’t we go somewhere private to talk before someone on the beach sees us and tells your parents?”
“Where are we going?” I asked, my body already thrumming with anticipation.
“My house. If that’s all right with you?”
“Yes.”
I swallowed thickly as I slid in the passenger seat. Cole slid in next to me, and it took all of my self-control to not lean over and kiss him like I wanted to. I didn’t care where we went. I just wanted to be with him.
Chapter 13
Cole
My cock was already hard when I directed my driver to pull along the beach after catching sight of Violet walking along by herself. Those denim cutoffs showed off her long and tanned legs that I wanted to be wrapped around my waist. Her simple white tank top hugged her breasts and midriff. I just wanted to rip her clothes off right there on the beach and take her, but that feeling dissipated a little from the happiness in Violet’s eyes when she saw me.
It’d been so long since I could remember someone being so happy to see me. Stephanie had never looked happy to see me, but with Violet, it had been pure happiness.
And it nearly killed me not being able to embrace her the way I wanted to when Violet had wrapped herself around me with a shaky sigh of relief. I didn’t trust anyone in the Hamptons to mind their own business. Particularly the women who did nothing besides gossip all day about the latest rumors.
A relationship with Violet Summers would be an outright scandal if we didn’t play this right. If I didn’t play this right.
I still didn’t know what the hell I was thinking when I called my driver back to take me out to the Hamptons, but I stopped by the cell phone store to pick up two phones and lines unconnected from everything. I half-expected something to strike me down from the sky for choosing this route.
Violet had little experience with handling real and mature relationships. She still didn’t know how to process the intimacy of sex, and judging from the bags underneath her eyes, sleep had evaded her for the past few days.
“To my house,” I told my driver before turning to look at Violet. “You haven’t been sleeping very well.”
Violet reached up to touch the bags underneath her eyes. “No, but I’m fine. I’m just so happy to see you.”
“We can talk in private at my house,” I said. “Do you have any plans for the rest of the afternoon?”
“Nothing important that can’t be rescheduled.” Violet pulled out her other phone from the pocket of her jeans. “Let me call my mom though. She’ll send people looking for me if I don’t come home in an hour.”
I diverted my attention to look at the beach as we pulled back down the road in the direction of my house. Violet’s leg brushed up against mine as she shifted in her seat, and it sent lust spiraling through me all over again. I didn’t come out to the Hamptons to jump her. No, I wanted to take care of this the best way possible, even though I had no idea how I planned to do it.
It was hard, though, when I glanced over at Violet as she made up a story of running into an old friend from high school. Her pretty blonde locks were pulled up in a messy bun. A few strands framed her tanned and freckled face that was free of makeup. Her breasts jiggled slightly when the SUV pulled back up to the main road. My mouth watered at the thought of nibbling there as I had done in my office.
Fucking cool it. This is an innocent woman still. You didn’t come out here to jump her bones.
“I bought us a night,” Violet said, lowering her phone with a grin. “My mom has no idea that you’re even here. You must’ve snuck into the house without alerting the usual people.”
“Different SUV,” I replied, and allowed my hand to reach out to touch Violet’s bare knee. Her soft skin was damp from the sea water. “Your mother invited me to some sort of party this weekend, too.”
“Don’t go to it. I don’t plan on going.”
I arched an eyebrow at that. “How are you going to escape your mother on that one? I know how she is about parties and reputations.”
“I’ll figure something out,” Violet said, chewing on her bottom lip in contemplation. “How long are you going to be here at the Hamptons?”
“For the weekend.” I curled my fingers around her knee, trailing up to feel the muscles of her thigh clench. Goosebumps erupted underneath my fingers. “I should head back tomorrow afternoon, though. I have a lot of work to catch up on since my assistant took personal time off.”
Violet’s lips curved up into a devious smile. The touch of her hand on my knee caught me by surprise. I jerked before looking up to find my driver focused on the winding road ahead of us. We were only a few seconds away from pulling up through the back gate that was private. It allowed me to come and go without alerting all the neighbors in the Hamptons that I was home.
Her fingers trailed up my thigh lightly before they brushed up against the hard bulge in my pants. I bit back a groan at the touch. She rubbed there boldly. It was hard sometimes to believe that Violet had never done any of this before.
She leaned in to whisper, “You can punish me later for taking time off. I’ll gladly take whatever punishment you see fit.”
My eyes slipped closed at those seductive words. I opened them abruptly when the SUV came to a stop at the edge of the driveway. I looked over at Violet as the SUV pulled up through the thick hedges that obscured curious eyes. Desire sparkled brightly in her eyes.
Fuck talking about keeping our relationship quiet. There was no way in hell that I was going to be able to sit through a conversation.
I took Violet’s hand away from my throbbing dick. Lacing my fingers through hers, I squeezed her hand tightly as the SUV pulled up to the back door of the kitchen. I opened the door before my driver could even put it into park and helped Violet slip out after me.
“I’ll text you when I’m ready tomorrow,” I said before shutting the door behind me.
The kitchen door was open like I left it. The house staff was gone, too. Complete and utter privacy like we needed. I pushed the door open to let Violet step inside before locking it behind her.
Violet gazed about the spacious kitchen with a smile. She turned to look at me, setting her phones down on the kitchen island.
“Beautiful kitchen,” she said. “What was it that you wanted to talk about?”
I tossed my wallet, keys, and phones onto the kitchen island next to her things. I was so hard that it was almost painful.
“We can talk later,” I growled, taking three large steps to gather her into my arms. “I can’t think of anything else right now.”
“Thank God for that,” Violet murmured against my lips before I swept her up into a hot kiss.
I kissed her long and hard as we stumbled blindly through the kitchen, knocking things down in the process. I didn’t care, though. All I could care about was Violet’s mouth on my own and her teeth nipping at my lower lip. Soft moans escaped her into my mouth as our tongues battled against one another’s for dominance.
I needed this. Fuck. I needed her badly.
The back of a couch caught me by surprise. Violet took the opportunity to push me back into the couch cushions. I fell back into them without too much protest when she climbed up on me, straddling my hips with a happy grin. Her blonde hair had fallen out of her bun. It tangled wildly around her flushed face, and her lips were swoll
en from our kisses already.
“You missed me,” she whispered, one hand trailing down my chest to the band of my jeans. “I can feel it. You missed me, huh?”
Her fingers reached in to give the tip of my cock a wicked squeeze. I sucked in a harsh breath when she reached in further to stroke me teasingly. My hips jerked upwards to grind up against that sweet heat I could feel coming from the center of her legs.
“More than you’ll ever know,” I groaned out, clasping onto her hips. “You’re not sore anymore, are you?”
“Not anymore.”
My fingers flexed against her hips. “Good, but I’m going to make sure it feels even better than the last time.”
“How so?” she asked, giving me another squeeze. “I don’t think you’re going to last very long here.”
I sat up quickly to knock her hand away. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I lifted her easily to toss her back onto the couch cushions this time. Violet let out a startled cry as she looked up at me with wide eyes that were vibrant with excitement and anticipation.
“You’ll see, sweetheart. You’ll see.”
I wasted no time in tugging her tank top up to toss it on the ground, followed by the lacy bralette she was wearing. I buried my face in the valley of her breasts while nipping at the sensitive skin there. She arched up against me with a throaty moan when I took a nipple into my mouth, teasing the little pink bud with the tip of my tongue.
“Cole,” she panted, writhing underneath me. “Please. Just take me now. Don’t tease me.”
“It’s called foreplay,” I corrected against the heat of her skin. I pressed a kiss above her belly button before reaching the hemline of her jean shorts. “You feeling good, baby?”
“More than good. Please.”
She propped herself up on her elbows to gaze down at me pleadingly, but I had no plans of letting her get up easily. Even if the soreness was gone, I wanted each and every time to feel better. We had all the time in the world without the fear of someone walking in on us. I planned to make the time count.
I pulled her jean shorts down the smoothness of her legs, followed by her underwear. She laid back, hands tugging at my shoulders, but I pushed them down into the couch pillows. The smell of her arousal only added to the ache in my loins. I wanted so badly to bury myself into that sweet and tight heat again, but I resisted it for the moment.
I kissed the apex of her thigh.
“Cole.” Violet sat up again with a desperate look. “Please, just fuck me. Don’t—”
Her head tossed back in pleasure when I sucked in the bundle of nerves begging to be touched. I sucked and licked until I felt her inner thighs quiver with a pending orgasm. Her fingers clawed at my hair desperately as she tried to stay rooted to reality, but she gave in a minute later when her body lurched off the couch. A scream tore past her lips as she bucked wildly in the throes of an orgasm.
Hot juices spilled out over my fingers as I cupped the quivering flesh there to feel her ride out the waves. Her chest was flushed bright red from the intensity of it as she looked down at me with wild eyes.
“Told you,” I said smugly. “Ready for another, baby?”
“Yes,” she said. “Please, Cole.”
I tugged my shirt off, tossing it to join the rest of the clothes on the floor. Violet sat up to help me with my belt and pushed the fabric of my pants and boxers down to free my erection. Hot lips sucked on the tip of my cock before I could push her back down to the couch cushions. She sucked hard again which earned a groan from me.
That sweet mouth on me was nearly my undoing. I couldn’t last long with Violet sucking on me the way she was now, or how her hands gently stroked in time with each suck. One of these days, I would let myself indulge in this type of release, but for now, I wanted to be buried deep in her to feel those tight muscles clenching with pleasure. I gently threaded my fingers in her hair to pull her head back. She let go with a reluctant smack of her lips. She looked up at me in confusion when I motioned for her to lay down.
“Lay down,” I told her. “I’m not letting you get me off that way.”
“You got me off that way,” she pointed out but stretched back with her legs wrapped around my waist. “What’s the difference?”
Slick flesh and heat surrounded my cock when I pushed inside of her. I kept one eye trained on Violet’s face for any sign of discomfort. Her lips thinned slightly as she blew out a hot breath, forcing her body to relax against me.
“Relax,” I murmured, resting on my forearms to kiss her forehead. The pressure on my cock was nearly too much to handle, but I forced myself to go slow. I didn’t want to hurt her again without knowing it. “Just take a deep breath, baby. This feels a million times better, coming inside of you.”
“It does?” She breathed against my ear.
I dug my fingers into the sides of the couch. Sweat was dripping off the both of us now. Her fingers grasped at the back of my shoulder blades.
“Fuck yeah,” I groaned out, grinding up against her. “You have no idea how good it feels.”
I felt the tension in Violet’s body slowly give way. Her eyebrows furrowed into a completely different expression as I rotated my hips back for a deeper thrust. She didn’t wince when I thrust hard again. She wrapped her legs around my waist tightly, thighs squeezing in a wordless encouragement.
“Harder,” she whispered. “Faster.”
I didn’t need more encouragement than that. Grasping the back of her thigh, I propped her leg up on my shoulder. The new angle gave a deeper penetration, and that was when I went crazy.
Chapter 14
Violet
The sting of sex was starting to lessen into something far more pleasurable. Each thrust sent my senses spiraling in a million different directions it felt like. The first time had felt good. There was no mistaking that. The pain had only lasted a minute or so, but this time, it only lasted a few seconds before it gave away to something far more pleasurable than before.
Cole’s face was contorted in pleasure. His fingers were digging into the back of my thigh so hard that I knew there would be bruises there I would have to explain, but I didn’t care to stop it. He was here with me. He was here making love to me the way I always desired it—passionate and wild to the point that I could barely hang on to his writhing body.
Another orgasm came barreling down on me. It stretched every single one of my senses as it burst in my stomach. That rush of pleasure was intoxicating as I clung to Cole’s arms to keep grounded. I wanted to see that look on his face.
Sweat dripped down his temples. His eyes were clenched shut as he went jagged against me with a loud groan. I felt him release inside of me while his face collapsed in sheer pleasure. The both of us clung to one another for what seemed like hours with the sunlight shifting throughout the living room.
Exhaustion finally took me. After spending the past few nights worrying over Cole, I could finally sleep knowing his answer. His answer was lying next to me on the couch with his arms wrapped around me while we soaked up the silence together.
I woke a little while later when I felt Cole scoop me up in his arms. I opened my eyes to find him smiling down at me.
“Sleep,” he said quietly. “I’m just taking us up to my room.”
I didn’t protest. I slept long and hard to wake only two times in the night to find Cole’s arms wrapped around me tightly. It wasn’t until the bright morning light came through the bedroom windows that I finally felt rested.
Warm breaths puffed up against the back of my neck. Cole’s arm was heavy and secure against my waist when I sucked in a deep breath, unwilling to move just yet. Every inch of him was pressed up against my back. The blankets and sheets were tangled about our legs.
It felt so good to be here in his bed. A smile tugged at my lips while I mentally went over the previous day’s events. After wondering for days if Cole would turn into a ghost, I got my answer by him showing up at the beach. I got my answer from the way he had made
sure that every inch of our love making felt even better than before.
I didn’t care if I had to lie to my mom again. If I could spend the rest of my day and Saturday night in Cole’s arms, it would be worth the constant pestering.
I shifted beneath Cole’s arms slowly to look over at him. My heart swelled with warmth at the sight of his face, utterly peaceful in his sleep. The dark shadow of a beard covered his strong jaw and cheeks. This was the man of my dreams, and I finally had him.
Unable to lay still any longer, I managed to slip out of bed without disturbing Cole as he wrapped his arms around my pillow instead. I found a spare shirt in the walk-in closet filled with fancy clothes and shoes to slip into before finding a guest bathroom further down the hall. Cole’s Hampton home was much more spacious than the one my parents owned. There was no doubt about that.
I found our clothes and my underwear downstairs in the living room from the afternoon before. Shimmying back into them, I went into the kitchen to look through the fridge for breakfast. My stomach growled loudly when I found pancake batter and fresh milk and eggs.
“Yes,” I said, pulling everything that I could find out. “Sex really does make you hungry.”
Especially sex with Cole. I probably burned at least a few hundred calories from yesterday. A giddy giggle left me at that as I measured out a couple of cups of pancake batter in a bowl. I started a pot of coffee, too, while I waited for the frying pan to heat up.
