Wicked Neighbor (9 page)

Bringing his hand down, he landed the first blow on
the left cheek, the one nearest him. He was standing on her left side, with his
left hand holding her hair. His right hand held most of his strength.

He slapped her hand twice more, bringing the count up
to three. She screamed at the last slap, and he rubbed her burning bottom.
“You’re a lovely shade of pink, Charlotte.”

She panted but didn’t tell him to stop.

“If you want me to stop just tell me to. I don’t need
special words. ‘No’ and ‘stop’, I’ll listen to them.”

“I don’t want you to stop.” The words were whispered,
but he caught them.

Bringing his hand down on her ass twice more, he
plunged his fingers into her sopping cunt. Rubbing his thumb over her clit, he
couldn’t look away from the beauty of her submission. He’d never seen anything
more beautiful in his life.

“Ride my fingers, baby,” he said. “I’ve never seen
anything more stunning in my life.” He meant every single word he spoke.

“Please, Bryan.”

He wiped his fingers over her thigh. “I’m not going to
let you come just yet. I’ve got the paddle yet.”

Releasing her hair, he grabbed his paddle from the
corner. This was a paddle he’d bought but never once used. It had a good handle
that required a nice firm grip. He tested it on his palm first. The paddle
wasn’t large nor was it small.

He caressed the smooth side over her ass, watching her
try to push against the wood.

“I’m going to spank you five times with this.
Remember, tell me to stop.”

“I remember.” She stopped talking as a scream erupted
from her lips.

Bryan took his time with the paddle, giving her a chance
to get over each whack. He rubbed the area with the wood after he brought it
down over her flesh.

She took all five hits of the paddle, and her ass had
gone from a shade of pink to a lovely deep red. Dropping the paddle to the
floor, he removed his jeans, taking a condom from the supply he kept close at
hand. Sliding the latex over his dick, he moved behind her.

Wrapping her hair once again around his fist, he eased
the tip of his dick at her entrance.

In one quick, jarring thrust, he seated himself up to
the hilt inside her.

“Fuck, baby, that’s it, take
all of
my
dick.”

Pulling out of her so only the tip remained, he
slammed back in, fucking her over and over again. The bench stayed in place,
locking her down. There was nowhere for her to go. He held onto her, fucking
her harder. With his free hand, he slapped her ass, loving the sound that
echoed around the room.

“Beg me to fuck you, baby.”

She screamed and begged for him to fuck her, to let
her orgasm. He pounded inside her pussy relentlessly as he filled her to the
brim. His balls tightened as his orgasm neared.

Bryan didn’t stop his thrusts, working his dick all
the way into her core. She screamed, cried, and begged.

When he thrust a final time, filling the condom with
his seed, he heard her whimper.

Did she expect him to leave her out?

In the next second he was on his knees, licking her
clit.

“Come for me, Charlotte. I want to hear you.” He
stroked over her clit, fucking two fingers into her pussy, and with his other
hand, he gathered up some of her cream, working those digits into her ass.

Fucking both her ass and pussy, he sucked her clit.

It was too much for Charlotte, and she flooded his
fingers with her release. When he brought her down from her orgasm, he quickly
washed his hands before going back to her. He released each restraint, and
picking her up in his arms, he carried her over to the bed.

Pushing hair off her face, he saw her smiling up at
him.

“That was wonderful.”

“There’s plenty more where that came from.” He dropped
a kiss to her lips, lying beside her. Locking their fingers together, Bryan
felt calm, happy,
complete
. He’d never had that before
with anyone else.

“What’s going on in that head of yours?” she asked,
pressing her fingers to his temples.

“All this time the woman I’ve been searching for has
been living next door to me.”

“I’m the woman you’ve been searching for?”

“Yes, you are.” He pressed another kiss to her lips.
“How’s your ass?”

“Burning but I’ll live.”

“You deserved that punishment as well.”

She chuckled. “We’ll agree to disagree.”

He sucked her nipple into his mouth, satisfied when
she moaned, arching up against him.

“Fine, fine, fine, you were right.”

Bryan stopped, laughing along with her.

“This has got to be the most surreal experience of my
life.”

He couldn’t agree more. Bryan hadn’t realized it at
the time, but he did now. The moment he’d moved in and seen Charlotte for the
first time, was the moment he’d first started falling for her. He’d find
himself watching her get her mail, mow the lawn,
tend
her garden. All the time he put it down to simply being curious, but it wasn’t
that. His feelings had developed into something more.

With her in his arms, Bryan knew there was nowhere
else he wanted to be.

Chapter Nine

One week later

“Open your eyes, beautiful,” Bryan said.

The scent of coffee lured Charlotte out of her sleep.
Opening her eyes, she stared across the bed to find Bryan already dressed. They
were in his home like they had been for the past week. She only went home to do
her work, but that hadn’t much happened because Bryan would follow her home. He
distracted her too much. She’d already called Lillian for an extension on the
website design.

She couldn’t help it. Bryan was one hell of a
distraction. He had the tools and the imagination that kept her away from her
work.

“Why do I have to open my eyes?” she asked.

“Barbeque day.
You reminded me last night to wake you up so you could go and make some
of your brownies. Susan left a message asking if you’d make them.”

Groaning, she started to sit up. She gathered the
sheet with her to cover herself. Bryan wouldn’t let her. He pulled the seat out
of her grasp, handing her a cup of steaming coffee instead.

“Your bed is so much better than mine.”

“I know.” He sat down beside her. She watched as he
opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

“What’s the matter?” She blew across the surface of
her coffee ever so gently so none of it would spill over the sides.

“Please, let me know if I’m going too fast. I’m way
out of my element right now.”

“You’re scaring me, Bryan.”

“I’ll just get out with it then.”

She raised her brow, still waiting.

“What is it?”

“Will you consider moving in with me?” He spoke
quickly.

Staying silent, she took a sip of the hot coffee sure
that she hadn’t heard him right. “You want me to move in with you?”

“Yes, I want you to move in with me. You’ve spent a
great deal of time here already.”

“I’ve got my own home.” Were the rules changing? Did
she want to move in with him? It was such a huge step, one she hadn’t
anticipated making.

“I know. I want you to consider moving in with me. I
care about you, and I do see this going somewhere.”

She nodded. “Okay, I’ll consider it.”

Their week together had been amazing. She’d gone to
the doctors and was now on the pill. In a month they’d be able to have sex
without the use of condoms. They’d explored each other, deeply. Bryan seemed to
have a fascination with her ass. He was constantly caressing or squeezing her
ass. She couldn’t help the hit of pleasure recalling the way he’d been teasing
her ass open to prepare her for his cock. Charlotte hadn’t thought it was
possible to get so much pleasure from him touching her ass, but she did.

“Great. I’ve got to head out. Grab some beers to take ‘round
to Michael’s. I’ll see you when I get back.” He pressed a kiss to her lips
before turning and leaving the room. They’d done this often as well, leaving
each other in their homes.

Bryan had a key to her house as well.

Their neighbors already knew about them. They’d been
stopped a couple of times to ask if they were an item. Each time, Bryan had wrapped
his arm around her shoulders pulling her against him.

Finishing her coffee, she climbed out of the bed to
use his bathroom. She had a toothbrush and her own conditioner on his shelf.

“We’re slowly moving in together now.”

Once she was finished, she left the bedroom to grab
her clothes. He still didn’t like her getting dressed. She had to hide behind
the sofa when Michael popped around to visit so he didn’t see her naked.

She pulled on one of Bryan’s shirts over her skirt.
Leaving his home, she locked the door, taking the less seen walk of shame back
to own home through the backyard.

Entering her home, she took the time to dress in a
summer dress that she’d left out. She rushed to her kitchen to start making up
the brownies.

When she was on her second batch, Susan knocked on the
door to her kitchen.

“Can I come in?”

Charlotte had left the door open to allow some fresh
air through.

“Sure. I’m just cooking up some brownies.”

“Where’s your sexy neighbor?” Susan asked, taking a
seat at the counter.

“He’s gone for some beer.” She mixed the dark
chocolate and butter together. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.
I can’t recall you being this happy. Bryan’s good for you.”

“He is.” Biting her lip, she recalled his earlier
suggestion.

“What is it? I notice that little question in your
eyes?” Susan asked.

“He wants me to move in with him.”

“What? That’s great. What did you say to him?”

“I said I’d think about it,” Charlotte said, finishing
mixing in the flour before putting the tray in the oven, and pulling out the
other tray.

“What? Why?”

“We’ve not exactly been dating long. I mean, we’ve
been dating for real, a week.”

“So? What’s the problem?”

“How long were you and Michael dating before you moved
in together?”

“A year, but you’ve been living next door to Bryan.
You know him.”

“No, I don’t. Not really.”

Susan let out a sigh. “You’re going to make this
really complicated, aren’t you?”

“No. I’m just trying to be sensible.” Charlotte shrugged,
packing away the ingredients she no longer needed.

“For once, listen to your heart instead of your head.
You’re happy. Bryan is making you happy. Just go with it.”

She stared at her friend and nodded. “Okay. I’ll think
about it. I was going to think about it anyway.”

“Good. I came just to see how you’re doing.”

“I’m doing
good
.
Really good.
It’s strange how fast my life has changed.”

“Love will do that for you.”

“Love?”

“Yeah, think about it. Charlotte, I think you’re in
love.”

Charlotte chuckled. “We’re having fun. Go and get your
barbeque ready so that we’re not all suffering with food poisoning.”

She watched Susan leave while laughing at the same
time.

“Yeah, I’ve fallen for Bryan, and that wasn’t my
plan.” She spoke to her empty kitchen, knowing it was the only place where her
feelings were in fact safe.

Blowing out a breath, she started going around her
house to air out the rooms. With it being warm, the air smelled stale to her.
She opened the windows, and the slight breeze rushed through the room.

Charlotte passed a mirror and stopped when she caught
sight of her reflection. Going on her toes she lifted the bottom of her dress
to see the marks Bryan had left on her ass. She ran her finger over the marks,
recalling the whip he’d used. The spanking bench had become one of her favorite
places to be.

“They’re beautiful,” Bryan said.

She jumped, dropping the dress down, and calling out.

“You scared me.”

“I’ve got a key.”

“I thought you were going to get beer.”

“I did, and I’ve given it to Michael. I figured I’d
come and surprise you. I’m pleased I did.
Some of my finer
work, if I say so myself.”
He moved up behind her, running his hands
over the curves of her ass. “Man, I want this hot little ass. Will you let me
have you tonight?”

“You want to fuck my ass tonight?”

“Yes, you’re ready, and I’ll go easy on you.”

“Okay. If you want my ass and you think I’m ready,
I’ll be happy to give it to you.”

He eased his hand underneath her dress, stroking over
the marks. “I wish we didn’t have to go to this barbeque,” he said. “I’d bend
you over right now and start working this pretty ass.”

She moaned. “I want that, too, but we did promise and
I’ve been a bad friend.”

“You’re spending time with your man. We’re not doing
anything wrong.”

“We’re being neglectful.” She gasped as he moved her
panties out of the way to start stroking over her clit.

“We’re together, Charlotte. We’re new, and we’re
exploring each other. Michael and Susan understand.” He kissed her neck. “I
don’t want to share you with their guests. You’ll stay by my side, right?”

“Yes, if that’s what you want.”

She smiled to him in the mirror. The smile stopped
when he pinched her clit.

“I do want that. It’s no joking matter. Men are going
to be drooling over you.”

Charlotte liked his possessive qualities, but she’d
not grown into some dashing beauty queen. She’d been around her neighbors’
friends before and been perfectly safe.

“I see you don’t believe me. Last year, you weren’t
being fucked by the hottest, sexiest guy in the neighborhood.” Charlotte
couldn’t help but laugh. “This year, you are. You’re in touch with yourself,
Charlotte. Men will see that. You’re wearing your hair down and wearing clothes
that are not confined to a grandma’s wardrobe. You’re being you.”

“When you try, Bryan, you can be quite the charmer.”

“I’m not even trying.”

She smiled. “You’re really sweet.”

“Don’t go ruining my reputation.” He dropped a kiss to
her lips. “Come on, we’d better head to the barbeque.”

“I can’t. I’ve got to finish the brownies. You head
over without me. I should only be a few minutes more.”

****

“So, you and
Charlotte, huh?”
Michael asked.

“I’m a lucky guy,” Bryan said. He picked up a beer,
taking a long drink while he looked out over the party of guests. Charlotte
would be joining him any minute. He spotted Daniel in the corner talking to a
red head. Bryan wasn’t surprised when he saw the other man arrive with a guest.

The rules of Club Sin wouldn’t allow Daniel to say
anything.

“Whatever you do, don’t break her heart,” Michael
said. “Susan would plot your demise, and she’s my wife, man. I’d have to go
along with whatever she said.

Bryan laughed, holding his hand up. “Don’t sweat it. I
swear
,
I’ve no intention of breaking her heart. In
fact, I’ve asked her to move in with me.”

“You’re not kidding?”

“No. She’s not jumping for joy, but I’m hoping I can
convince her to move in. I’ve got a couple of ideas up my sleeve.” He winked at
Michael.

“I don’t want to know what you’ve got planned. Susan
and Charlotte are close. She’s a nice woman, and I’d hate to see anything
happen to her.”

Bryan slapped him on the back. “Nothing bad is going
to happen to her. I promise.”

“Do you love her?”

“Yes, I do. I love her, Michael. That’s why I asked
her to move in.”

“You’re moving a little quickly. What changed your
mind?”

Staring at the ground, Bryan thought about the best
way to answer. “Have you ever found a person that in the strangest of
moments,
leaves you feeling open, exposed, alive?”

“Yeah, I’m married to her.”

“Charlotte has been living next to me for the past
year. I didn’t realize it before, but I would spend hours thinking about her,
watching her. I did her lawn just for the excuse to talk to her. She’s amazing,
the other half of me, man. I’ve already wasted a year. I’m not into wasting
another moment of waiting for her.”

“Wow, you really do have a way with words,” Charlotte
said.

He turned around to see her standing behind him. She
sported a huge smile that twisted his stomach.

“Hello, baby.”

“Hello, the other half of me.”

Sipping his beer, he reached out to take her hand.
With one easy tug, he had her falling against him. “You’re not trying to tease
me, are you?”

“Why would I do that?”

“You tell me. If you do, I’ll have to find a reason to
spank your ass.”

She chuckled. “No, I’m not teasing you.”

He didn’t say anything about what she heard. “You
finished the brownies.”

“Yes, they’re all in the kitchen.”

Leaning down, he kissed her neck, feeling her pulse
race against his lips. “I can’t wait until tonight.”

“Me neither.” She pressed against his front,
whimpering.

Bryan pressed a hand against her stomach, pulling her
back against him. He rubbed his cock against her ass for good measure. Anyone
who looked toward them would think he was whispering something in her ear. He
saw a couple of the men eyeing her up, appreciating the view. Bryan gave them
all a stern look to let them know who she belonged to.

“We’ve got incoming,” Bryan said, spotting Daniel
walking toward them.

Charlotte tensed in his arms. Bryan didn’t move,
giving Charlotte the support she needed.
