Annie finished her third glass of
wine. It had been almost a week since her night with Matt and Peter and she’d
been sleeping alone. Even so, she could feel the touch of their strong hands,
the taste of their skin, the sound of their erotic words. Memories kept her
awake at night, tossing and turning, restless. Needy.
She’d had no contact with Matt that
week, but that was how it usually went. Days would go by when she would never
see him, and then all of a sudden it seemed as if he was everywhere. She’d made
an effort that week to run into him, coming and going when she thought he would
be, lurking in the laundry room, the parking lot. No luck.
Well, she
had
seen him one
time. Looking out her apartment window one evening, she saw Matt with Peter in
the lot. The two of them got into Peter’s pickup and drove off. She wanted to
think that they were just going to grab dinner or something. After all, it was
a work night.
Face it, Annie.
They were
probably looking for women. Much as she wanted to believe it, she hadn’t made
such an impact on their lives that they were going to give up other women. She
hadn’t made that much of an impression on Matt that he would be beating down
her door. Even if he had been sweet, acting as if he were totally taken with
her.
What a sap I am.
Tired and a little tipsy, Annie got
into bed and pulled the covers over her. Eleven p.m. Friday night. Alone.
Loser.
As tired as she was, it was a long
time before she fell asleep. In her mind she saw Matt moving over her, felt him
plunging inside her. She pictured herself riding Matt while Peter moved behind
her. She shivered at the thought. It was all Matt—showering next to her, his
face buried between her thighs, the delicious weight of him on top of her.
Annie clutched at the linens, could practically feel him next to her. Finally
fell asleep.
Even in sleep, she couldn’t escape
him. There was warmth all around her, the touch of his palm on her back,
sliding down to cup her ass. She shivered at the touch of his tongue on her
nape, the nip of his teeth. When he pushed his fingers inside her to probe the
depths of her aching pussy, Annie whimpered with need. “Matt.”
“I’m right here, Annie.”
Oh thank God.
Annie froze,
waking up from her delicious dream. Realizing it wasn’t just a dream. Matt was
actually right there. In bed with her. Touching her. Kissing her.
“Matt?” She rolled over to face
him. The moonlight revealed his sparkling eyes, his sexy grin. “Hi,” she said,
both thrilled that he was there and curious as to why. Six days had gone by
without a word from him and now here he was, naked in bed with her.
“Hi yourself.” He leaned in and
kissed her.
Annie kissed him back, tried to
dispel her questions. Unsuccessfully. “Hey. What are you doing here?”
“Yeah, uh, sorry about that. Ya
know, using your key to let myself in.” Matt brushed her hair off her face. “I
couldn’t help it. I missed you.”
Annie’s heart fluttered, warmth
flooding her body. “I missed you too.” She smiled, threaded her fingers through
his hair and pulled him to her. Their lips met hungrily and she opened her
mouth to him. Tasting faintly of mint, his tongue brushed over hers. She sighed
into his mouth as he moved over her, pinning her to the bed.
“Damn, Annie.” His cock was hard
and rubbed deliciously on her mound. “I’m sorry I haven’t been around but I’ve
had a busy week. I haven’t been able to get you out of my head though. I can’t
stop thinking about you, how sweet you are, how sexy, how responsive.”
She shivered as he kissed her neck,
her breasts. His words were stunning and amazing and she
so
wanted to
believe them. She didn’t want to think that he said the same things to other
women. She didn’t want to be just another one of his women.
Desire and emotion roiled inside
her and she clasped his head as he licked and sucked her sensitive nipples. It
was all too good, too perfect, but she went with it—even as he reached for a
condom to cover himself. Even as their gazes met while Matt settled between her
thighs, rubbing his cock in her wet flesh. But then her brains finally won out
over her hormones. “Wait,” she gasped. “Stop, Matt.”
“Say what? Stop?” He froze, a look
of utter confusion clouding his gorgeous features. He took some deep breaths
through his mouth. “What’s wrong, Annie?”
“It’s just that…” She shook her
head slowly, squirming beneath him. “After last weekend, I haven’t heard from
you. I mean, it was amazing, and I’m a big girl and everything. I can take it
if it was just a one-night stand. So why are you here now?”
Matt tilted his head, narrowed his
eyes. “Did you want just a one-night stand?”
Annie hesitated, unsure of the
right response. She knew what she felt in her heart, but she didn’t know if
that was what he wanted to hear. The look of uncertainty in his eyes warmed
her, gave her courage. She needed to tell him what she wanted from him. If he
didn’t feel the same way, then at least she’d had
one
night of crazy-hot
sex with Matt Howard.
“No,” she said. “I didn’t want a
one-night stand.”
He smiled, rotating his hips, the
tip of his cock teasing her aching pussy. Then he froze. “Wait a minute. When
you said you didn’t want a one-night stand, are you saying you didn’t want what
happened last weekend? Or are you saying you wanted
more
than what
happened last weekend?”
Annie allowed herself a moment of
sadistic pleasure before answering. But just a moment. She flattened her palm
on his chest. “I’m saying I wanted more than a one-night stand.”
Matt nodded, his eyes blazing.
“Good.” He eased the tip of his cock inside her, made slow circles with his
hips. “So what about Peter?”
“What about him?” Annie gasped,
toes curling at the exquisite sensations. She had certainly delighted in their
ménage but she had no emotional investment in Peter Nash.
“Well, here’s the thing, Annie.”
The muscles in his arms quivered as he hovered over her. “Pete and I have
shared some women, but only for one night.” He moved a little deeper.
Annie fought the desire to pump her
hips and take him all the way inside her. She wanted Matt to take her. “Just
one night?”
“Yep.” He rolled his head,
groaning. “Damn, you feel good.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Her palms itching, she
planted them flat on the bed. She was
so
ready to get fucked, it was
nearly impossible to focus on what he was saying. “So…uh, one night?”
“Mmm, yeah. You’re the first woman
I’ve come back to, wanted more from.”
“Really?” Her toes curled into the
mattress, her heart pounding triple time.
“Really. In fact, I’ve wanted you
for a long time. I had some mixed feelings about letting Peter have you.”
“’Letting’ him have me?” Annie
licked her upper lip. “So I had no choice in this?”
Matt huffed out a laugh. “Of course
you did. What I’m trying to tell you is I was jealous.” He moved one more agonizing
inch deeper. “I want you in my life, Annie. But just you.”
Digesting his words, she wanted to
jump for joy. But she couldn’t resist a little teasing push. “I want you in my
life too. Does that mean Peter won’t be joining us again?”
He tilted his head, assessing her.
“S’that a deal breaker for you?”
“Afraid so.” Annie clutched his
forearms, seeing stars as his cock drew circles in her tight cunt.
Matt froze for a moment and then
resumed the swiveling motion of his hips. “Well, if that’s what I’ve gotta do
to have you, maybe we could work something out. Do you want him with us every
time we fuck?”
Wait. What?
Desire and
physical response had muddled her brain. Not the best time to be teasing him.
“No, no. I meant to say it was a deal breaker if Peter
would
be joining
us. I want
only
you.” The tension in her belly ratcheted up at his
knowing smile.
“Good, that’s good,” he said.
“We’re going to have so much fun, Annie.”
“Mmm.” She had no doubt about that.
Her body was electrified, on fire. When he finally moved all the way inside
her, she would come. Desperate, she looked pleadingly at him, her vision
blurred by passion.
“Fuck.” He thrust hard, moving in
as deep as he could go.
“Aaah.” Annie exploded, her body
pulsing on his cock, the sensation slowly rolling over her in waves of ecstasy.
He held utterly still inside her, and Annie rode out her orgasm until it
started to leach away. Her vision sharpened and she looked at Matt, the twinkle
in his eye reflecting sexy confidence.
“I love how you come for me, Annie.”
He pumped his hips, his cock creating a delicious friction with her
super-sensitive pussy walls. “Yep, we are going to have so much fun.”
“We are,” she agreed, her response
stirring again. “It might kill us.”
Matt reached down to caress her
calves before pulling her legs up and folding them against her chest. Suddenly
his already big cock felt impossibly huge inside her. He fucked her hard and
fast, wrenching another quick, intense orgasm from her. “Yep, it might kill
us.” Still hard, he fucked her slowly now, letting her catch her breath. “But
what a way to go.”
