Carter slammed his palm down on the surface of the pool table. “I will not let him get away with this.”

“Calm down,” Troy said. “You know how hot headed Devin is. He’ll apologize tomorrow.”

“I don’t need his fake ass apology. He’s gonna regret this,” Carter lamented, fingering his face. “He could’ve broke my jaw.”

“Don’t do anything stupid, Carter. We are all friends and you know how Devin is.”

Carter wasn’t listening as he marched out of the room. Shortly after, Troy heard him pull out of the driveway, his car tires screeching. Barry was going to throw a fit about the tire tracks he left behind. But Troy was worried that Carter would do something he’d regret.

Chapter 13

A month later…

The beginning of summer brought more rain. Cassie especially like to smell the earth after a good shower. It’s been a month since and Devin started dating and she knew their relationship was going to move to the next level. As she readied for her date, she took extra care oiling her skin and dabbing her favorite scent behind her ear.

They were supposed to attend a concert and after, who knows what would happen. She missed his kisses and his closeness, yearned to take the next step in their relationship. Just thinking about his lips on her body made her shiver. She wanted to feel his hands all over her and she knew he wanted the same thing. Every time she was in his arms, she’d feel his erect cock telling her how much he wanted her.

Before she completed her makeup, she heard the doorbell. Pulling on her plush robe, and slipping into her bunny slippers, she went to let him in. As soon as she opened the door and he saw her, he stepped inside, kicked the door shut and drew her into a searing embrace. His lips devoured her as her fantasy began to materialize. Davin’s hands were inside her robe and gently kneading her breast while his tongue gave her a glimpse of what was to come later.

He broke away, leaving her breathless.

“Hi,” he greeted, his breathing short.

“Hi. I will go finished getting dressed.”

She turned to walk away, her knees weak and stickiness between her thighs. Moving one foot in front of the other was excruciatingly sensual now that she could feel the stickiness in her panties. Why did she choose lace panties of all the underwear she possessed? The gentle abrasion of the material rubbing her clit heightened her sexual tension.

As though sensing her need, she felt his come up behind her and pulled her against him. She twisted around to face him, their mouths immediately crashing together. The toe curling kiss sent gushes of hot juices erupting from her. Without further ado, he was lifting her in his arms and taking the stairs. When he reached the landing he paused and she pointed in the direction of her room. They were out of their clothes and tumbling to the bed by the time they reached the bedroom.

No long foreplay was needed as their hands and lips explored each other. He could not get enough of her kisses and their lips seemed to be unable to stay apart. She wrapped her legs around him, indicating she was ready. Devin entered her wet, warm flesh, which welcomed him as he thrust his hip, sinking into her. Their kiss deepened as he found her tongue, wrapping his around hers, feeling the electricity charging through him.

Their bodies moved with the mating dance in cadence to their own music. Soon the tempo increased, and with it came panting and heavy breathing. His grunts along with her whimpers melded together, creating their own lyrical sounds. Her cry of ecstasy coupled with his growl of release expressed their rapturous bliss.

He felt his heart would burst with the emotions welling inside of him. Cassie had become his life, his dream, his everything. Devin was certain that he never wanted to spend another day without her. He’d never thought of marriage or children before now. But as they tried to catch their breaths, sweat glistening on their skin, he pictured himself being a husband and father. The thought sent a rippled of excitement through him, setting his cock on fire once more.

It seemed they would miss their date tonight. The concert could wait.

Chapter 14

It has been a great month spending time with Devin. He’d call her every morning before he headed to whatever he was doing and they spoke on the phone very night before bed. He said it was a surprise but whatever it was, she would be proud of him. He said that he was in some kind of training for the job he was about to do. That was surprising given that he was a trust fund baby. She knew he didn’t need the job, so she figured that he was being groomed for some role in his family company which he said he’d tell her all about when he was done his training.

Devin’s enthusiasm about this venture put her at ease about him keeping his family business a secret from her. He even promised that he’d take her to meet his mother at the end of the month, which was one week away. She was looking forward to it.

Just like every night at around nine thirty, the phone beeped. Cassie was already in bed, anxiously awaiting the nightly conversations whether by text, video chat or regular conversation. She smiled and picked up the phone, taking note that there was a message with attachment. The number was hidden and that surprised her. Devin never hides his number.

Upon checking the attachment she saw that it was a voice recording. Curious, she opened it and turned up the volume to be able to hear it clearly. There was some crackling at the beginning of the recording and then it cleared up.

“…just surprised, is all.”

“Nevertheless,” a male voice said. “A thousand bucks says he won’t get with her.”

“A hundred grand,” another male voice added. “Are you in, Carter?”

“Yeah, why not? He can’t possibly get her.”

A voice she recognized chuckled and then spoke. Her heart raced as her head began throb. This couldn’t be what she thought it was. She closed her eyes and was about to turn off the recording but something compelled her to continue listening.
