Jason urges everyone to take their seats for the appetizers, and Carter takes the opportunity to find his seat next to Xander – a friendly face. He looks crestfallen by Addi’s lack of acknowledgement. Logan is next to Carter and my family are across the table on the other side of me. My sisters are eyeing the latest man candy, and they waste no time in trying to charm the pants off of both men. They seem to be having fun and the conversation flows freely.
My mom is further down the table next to Addi’s mom Marjory; it’s nice to see her laughing and joking with friends. It warms my heart to see her happy. Addi, on the other hand, is shooting daggers at my sisters and Carter from the bottom of the table. As the waiters take our drink orders and bring out dessert, I catch her attention to accompany me to the bathroom. We’re best friends. One look and she knows what I’m trying to tell her – ‘Get your ass to the bathroom now.’
I excuse myself and drag her by the hand, down the hall and into the restroom. I lock the door behind us.
“What the fuck is going on?”
She leans against the marble sink, her eyes focused on the fascinating tile pattern on the floor.
“I don’t know what you mean.” So this is how she’s going to play it.
“Okay. Have it your way. I haven’t pushed you until now, but you need to get a grip. It’s obvious that you like Carter, and yet you don’t seem to want to give him a chance even though he’s given you no reason to doubt that he’s totally into you.”
She interrupts me with her weak excuses. “Yeah, right. Have you not seen the way he’s shamelessly flirting with your sisters? I wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to take them both home tonight.”
“Firstly, What the Fuck? They’re my younger sisters. And secondly, they are the ones that are shamelessly flirting. From where I’m sitting, he’s been very polite, but he can’t stop staring at you every five fucking seconds.” She’s not happy at that last statement.
“Shut up, Lily. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Did she just tell me to shut up?
“Get a grip, Addi. Xander told me Carter really likes you. It’s written all over his ridiculously handsome face. If you keep blowing hot and cold, you’ll lose any chance you have with him. Make nice tonight, but don’t lead him on if you’re not interested. He’s a nice guy, and he doesn’t deserve the way you’re treating him.” I know it’s harsh but she needs someone to set her straight.
“You’re supposed to be my best friend. Not Carter’s.”
“Don’t talk shit! I’m saying this because I love you. I don’t want you to miss out on a great guy because of that douchebag Gavin.” With that left hanging in the air, I unlock the door to the restroom. “Don’t let Gavin win.”
I hope I wasn’t too blunt, but I feel like it’s the only way I’m going to get through to her. I leave her to think on that before coming back to the table. We’re supposed to be celebrating graduation together so I really hope she’s not mad at me. I take my seat next to Xander. He can tell something just happened. I quietly assure him that everything is fine before taking a long swig of my Prosecco. Not my most feminine moment, but I really need a drink.
Addi emerges five minutes later, her makeup touched up and her head held high. She comes up behind me and gives me a hug, whispering in my ear. “Thanks, friend. Love you.”
I clasp my hands on top of hers, giving them a squeeze. “Love you, too.” She gives me a peck on the cheek and heads back to her seat.
Carter’s eyes are on her the entire time, and amazingly, when he finally catches her eye, she gives him a genuine smile. He looks like the cat that got the cream for the rest of dinner – It’s pretty sweet, actually.
XANDER
I am so fucking proud of my girl. Watching her today was like an out of body experience. Being an only child, I’ve always been the center of attention, my achievements at the forefront of our family. It’s been the same way in business – people falling over themselves to lavish me with praise. I thought I knew what it was to feel pride – I’ve never been shy about my accomplishments – but today I felt a sense of pride that far surpassed anything I’ve ever done.
Lily was transcendent when she took to the stage. I thought my heart was going to explode it was beating so fast. And when she sought me out in the crowd, flashing me that sweet smile – fuck me. I would have shouted to the entire stadium that she’s mine, if I didn’t think she’d die of embarrassment. I wanted to steal her away and have her all to myself, but it meant a lot to her to have her mom and sisters here today, and I’ll do anything to make her happy.
Thankfully, dinner is over and so is family time. Now, I get to take her to Cube. I’d rather be taking her back to my apartment, but having her grind against me on a dance floor is a close second.
“Come on. You’re riding with me. Carter’s arranged a car for the rest of them. They’re going to wait on Jason.” We say our interim goodbyes and leave.
As soon we pull into traffic, I put up the privacy window and wrap my arms around Lily. It’s so good to have her alone, if only for a few minutes.
“I got you a graduation present. I hope you like it.”
She always gets this shy smile when I give her a gift. It’s so fucking cute. “You didn’t have to get me anything. You’ve already done so much for me today.” I love that she never expects anything of me. Being a billionaire generally brings a lack of appreciation from people. Whatever I buy isn’t enough – but not with Lily. She’d think a stick of gum was too extravagant. It’s an endearing breath of fresh air for me.
“Just open them.” I’m really fucking nervous about this gift. She’s either going to love it, or think it’s way too soon, and freak out about us. Nothing with her is too soon. I want it all, and I want it now – like a greedy schoolboy with no self-control. I take a deep breath to steady my nerves before handing her an envelope and a Tiffany’s box.
“I love it. Thank you.” I got her a silver graduation cap.
“Just so you know, I’m not some crazy guy who’s going to buy you a charm every time I see you. You just happen to have a lot of significant achievements going on in your life right now.” Why the fuck do I sound like in idiot around her?
“I would never think you’re crazy. It’s lovely.” She opens the second pouch, puzzled by what’s inside – a silver and Tiffany blue double-decker bus charm.
“Open the envelope and it will make sense.” Now I’m nervous. She opens the envelope painstakingly carefully and removes the contents – two first-class tickets to London, leaving on Monday.
Fuck. She’s not saying anything. “Baby… talk to me. Are you happy?” I thought there would be screaming, or jumping, or… something.
“Oh my God, Xander. I can’t believe you did this. This is amazing. I’ve been dreaming of going to London my whole life.” I breathe a noticeable sigh of relief.
“Good. For a minute there you had me worried. You did not look happy.”
I grab her face in my palms and kiss her with everything I have.
“I’m beyond happy. I can’t believe I get to see London… and… I get to see it with you.” Then I see the cogs starting to turn. “What if I don’t have a passport?”
“Don’t you know me by now? I have my sources.” I wink at her before explaining. “I called Addi before I bought the tickets to check, I wasn’t going to book tickets to somewhere you couldn’t go!”
She pulls me into a fierce kiss, and I lose myself to the passion I feel for this woman. I take control, gently lifting her into my lap. This kiss is urgent and full of fire. I want her so badly right now, my dick hardens underneath her as I fuck her mouth with my tongue.
My hands begin to roam all over her toned little body, palming her breast over her dress, my other hand sliding under the hem. I stop in my tracks when I feel the lace of stocking tops.
“Fuck me, baby. You’re wearing stockings. I need to see this.” I pull her dress up to her waist, revealing delectable stockings, black
garter belt and matching lace panties. “Fucking hell, Lily. That is the sexiest thing I have ever seen.”
I grab her ass in my hands and kiss her with a ravenous hunger, setting a punishing rhythm with my tongue, desperate to take her right here. I feel like I might explode if I don’t slide my cock inside of her, fucking her to the same rhythm as this kiss.
“God, Xander. I need you. Please… please, fuck me... Mr. Rhodes.” I lose all control at those words, barking through the intercom for David to take us to my office. I know I should be at least a little embarrassed by how much I want her in this moment, but I’m not. Her words are like fire. “I want you now.”
“As much as I would love to, I am not fucking you in a car, with my driver close enough to hear you come. That sound is for me.” Thank fuck, we’ve arrived. The moment the car stops, I throw open the door and bark orders at David; telling him to wait for us. Lily looks mortified as I grab her by the hand and pull her through the doors and across the marble lobby. The security guards smile as I disappear into the elevator, pushing her against the wall and kissing her with everything I have - impatient to get her into the privacy of my office. It’s strange in here at night - all dark corners and silence. It’s exhilarating. “In there, now!” With a slap of her ass, I chase her into the confines of my office.
My lips find hers the moment the door closes behind us. I move quickly, taking Lily with me. I sit on the luxurious, hard wood of my desk, and within seconds, she’s straddling my thighs, her dress around her waist. I quickly unbutton my suit pants and slip them down just enough for my cock to spring free. I yank the lace of her panties to one side and thrust two fingers inside of her as she drops her head onto my shoulder.
“You’re so ready for me, sweets, and it’s so fucking sexy.” I’ll never get enough of her. She always ready for me - slick, wet, and inviting. I position myself at her entrance, drawing her down onto my cock, hard and fast. Being surrounded by her sweet pussy is intoxicating, I can’t get enough of her, and I can’t stifle the guttural moan that escapes my chest.
I devour her mouth with my tongue, fucking her in time with each delicious thrust of my cock. It’s amazing, and I can feel her quickly building toward release.
“Oh God, Xander. I’m so close. I’m going to come.”
I speak in between kisses. “Not. Yet. Sweet. Girl. Not. Until. I. Say. So… Your. Orgasm. Is. Mine.” My voice is thick with desire. I try to hold back but I don’t know how long I can last. She’s so close - I start pounding into her harder and faster. “Yes, baby. That’s it. Oh, fuck. Come for me now. Come with me.” On command, she crashes over the edge and I embrace the immense pleasure that I feel coursing through every nerve ending of my body. We scream and groan, riding out the aftershocks of our joint release. It is raw and primal. “Holy Shit! You are the sexiest woman alive. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand, let alone function in the club around other people.”
“How do you think I’m going to face everyone with this obvious sex hair?” We both burst out laughing, my cock still pulsing inside her.
“I don’t care what anyone thinks, baby. You look fucking breathtaking right now.” I lift her up and place her down gently beside me, straightening her dress before attending to my own attire. We cuddle into each other for a few minutes, enjoying the post-coital bliss before making our way down to the car. I instruct David to take us to Cube. On the drive back toward the club, I take the opportunity to attach the new charms to Lily’s bracelet. They look so elegant on her wrist.
When we arrive outside Cube, poor Lily can’t look David in the eye as he opens the door for us. I think it’s funny. He’s the most professional man you’ll ever meet, but I know he has a good sense of humor when it comes to something like this. We bypass the queue and head to the VIP area.
Addi is on Lily in seconds, trying to steal her away from me. I don’t like to share, but Addi is a good friend to Lily, and it warms my heart to heart to hear Lily so excited as I leave them to go in search of Carter.
“Xander is taking me to London for a graduation present.” I’m pretty sure even over the thundering beat of the music in here, the queue outside heard her scream, jumping up and down like a lunatic. It makes me laugh, and I am so genuinely excited to be taking her to the home of the Globe Theater. They look like kangaroos, high on speed, but it’s cute to watch.
Lily didn’t even notice I left to go get drinks. I tap her on the shoulder, handing them each a French martini each. Addi gives me a sloppy kiss on the cheek before punching me in the arm and saying, “Good work on the London trip.”
I snake my arm around Lily’s waist, pulling her close. Addi rolls her eyes at us and without a word disappears into the crowd, her drink in hand.
I see Carter watching her every move from the bar and as she loses herself in the music, he strides through the crowd and claims her as his. I’m getting a little hot under the collar just watching the way his hands are moving her, pulling her tight against his body. Lily’s eyes are transfixed on them - their connection is almost a visible aura around them. I trace the line of her neck and along her collarbone distracting her from her blatant voyeurism.
“You like that? Watching them writhe against each other as if there is no one here but the two of them. You can feel the sexual energy between them, can’t you? Is it making your panties wet, Lily?”
She wants to say no, but everything I said is true. I know that look in her eye. My own sexual appetite awakens again, sated only thirty minutes ago, my desire is sparked watching their bodies move together, knowing how earth-shattering it feels when my body collides with Lily’s. Anticipating how much pleasure we will wring from each other. She drops her head back onto my shoulder, allowing me unfettered access to her neck.
I kiss behind her ear in the spot that I know drives her wild. I want her, right here, right now, and as I tease her with my tongue, I let out an uninhibited moan.
“I want you, Xander.” Those four words are like a red rag to a bull.
My excitement spikes at the memory of the last time we were locked in the private room here, listening to hundreds of people on the other side of the door as we lost ourselves in each other. Before I realize what I’m doing, we’re already locked inside.
She hasn’t said a word to me yet, but I can see the pure, unadulterated lust in her eyes. I leave her standing at the door, striding across the room to sit on the sofa. I leisurely throw my arms across the back of the sofa, but my eyes give me away, greedily devouring every inch of her as she stands before me… waiting… wanting.
“Take off your clothes, Miss Tate.”
“What?”
“You heard me. Now take your clothes off so I can look at you.”
I’m in a dominant mood. I want to drink her in slowly, raking my eyes over her naked flesh before I devour her.
She slowly removes her dress, letting it drop to the floor. When she steps out of it, she flicks the dress with her shoe, landing it right in my lap. It’s so damn sexy. I gasp as I take in the sight of her half-naked body, dressed only in stockings, a garter belt, lace panties and a matching bra. Fucking perfection. She moves to take off her heels but I stop her.
“Leave them on. You look so fucking sexy right now, I just want to bend you over the desk and fuck you until you’re screaming my name.”
“What are you waiting for? Fuck me, Mr. Rhodes.” Holy fuck! My restraint shatters in an instant and I’m up, tearing off my jacket and waistcoat, shirt and tie. I rip open my slacks before moving to the desk. The sight of her makes me loose all control as she bites down hard on her lower lip.
“Do you want me to touch you, Miss Tate?”
“Yes. I want you to touch me.”
A sly grin slides across my lips. “Come here.” I’m desperate to own her, body and soul. I back her against the edge of the desk before staking my claim on her mouth. Our lips and tongues crashing together in perfect symmetry. She rakes her nails down my back, and it’s all I can do not to p
ound into her as hard as I can.
Our kiss becomes all-consuming, my hands fisting in her hair, clutching her ass, palming her breasts. We can’t get enough. I make quick work of removing her bra, guiding her back to lie on the desk, her gorgeous, full breasts heavy with arousal, on display just for me.
I move my head down, caressing her already hardened nipples with my lips. I take one into my mouth, kissing, suckling, tugging on it while forcefully grabbing the other in my hand. Her skin is silky smooth on my tongue, sending a pulse straight to my cock. I slide one hand beneath her panties as I turn my attention to her other breast, teasing it with his mouth. I unleash a guttural groan as my hand meets with the evidence of her arousal.
“Miss Tate, it would appear that you are more than ready for me.” Her back arches off the desk as I thrust my fingers inside of her. She feels so fucking good.
I tease her with a few deep, delicious thrusts before pulling out. With the speed of a cat, I flip her onto her front; legs on the ground spread wide; her naked breasts pressed against my cold hard desk. I grab my cock, letting it loose from my boxer shorts – an ache beginning to build.
“As pretty as these are, I’m afraid they have to go.” I rip her panties, throwing them to the floor, exposing her slick, throbbing sex to my gaze. A groan of approval escapes her throat as I grab her hair to anchor her in place as I rub my cock up and down her wet folds, coating myself in her arousal. Without warning I thrust into her, right to the hilt. The stretching feeling of her tight pussy around me is exquisite. I halt my movements, taking a moment to control my breathing.
“Do you want me to fuck you, Miss Tate?”
Her answer drips from her lips, a plea for me to take her.
"Yes."
One sharp, hard thrust.
“Are you mine, Miss Tate?”
“God, yes, Xander.”
