Page 7 of Cash

He turned away from her and she groaned at his absence.

"Hold on, baby. I'll be right back."

He reached for his pants and pulled out another condom before crawling back into bed. This time he took a little detour under the sheets. He needed to taste her again. He loved oral sex--was good at oral sex.

"Oh, Cash," she called out in surprise as his tongue flitted across her clit.

"I need you to come one more time before I slide back into this pretty little pussy," he said. He licked her with the flat of his tongue from entrance to clit. Her hand fisted in his long hair, and she cried out. He slid in two fingers to her already wet and swollen center and worked her. It wasn't long before she was squeezing her legs around him and moaning his name.

This woman was something special. He wanted more than one night. As he kissed up her body, he pulled back just long enough to roll the condom down his length before settling himself between her legs.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked. He was about to break one of his own ground rules, but he was beginning to think this woman was worth breaking all his rules for.

"Yes," she said as she reached up and grabbed his face and pulled him down to her. Their lips met in an earth-shattering kiss. First it was a soft kiss, his lips finding hers, testing them out. But then she opened to him, and her tongue flitted over his lips. He opened to her, and his tongue tentatively licked into her mouth. It had been a long time since he had kissed anyone. Kissing complicated things, but she was different. He knew that now.

He deepened the kiss and pushed into her core as he did. At this level of connection, he was overwhelmed with emotion like he’d never felt. He knew what he wanted, and he wanted her. She clung to his back as he pumped into her, still kissing her. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands fisted into his hair as they kissed and fucked. It was tender and new and Cash's player heart was rearranging itself for a perfect, Evie-sized place. He was hers now and he wasn't even sure how that happened, but it was the truest thing he’d felt in a long time.

This would not be a one-night thing. He would make her his. He waited for that thought to scare him, but it didn't. It just felt right.

At that moment she broke the kiss and cried out as she clenched around him. "You're so fucking beautiful," he rasped out and then followed her right over the edge.

After another trip to the bathroom, they fell into each other's arms. He kissed her again and relished the fact that he planned to do that so many more times. With that thought in his mind he drifted off into an easy sleep with his arms wrapped around the woman he might just change his ways for.

He woke a few hours later to a text from Conner.

Conner - Hey are you busy?

Cash - What's up?

He texted back trying to gingerly move away from Evie. He didn't want to wake her.

Conner - Can you come over?

Cash - yeah, is everything okay?

Conner - No, some shit went down with Sasha last night. I need to make sure she's safe.

Cash - I'll be right there.

He didn't know what all of that was about, but he knew that Conner wasn't one for dramatics, and if he said it was about Sasha's safety, then it really was. He looked at Evie in the bed next to him. He was anxious to see her again, but he didn't want to wake her.

He quietly got up and got dressed. Then he wrote her a note.

I had to run but I would love to see you again. Call me and let me take you out on a real date. - Cash

He wrote down his number and set the note on the desk. She sighed and shifted on the bed. He couldn’t help it. He walked over and gave her one last kiss.

"Don't go," she said as she sleepily reached for him.

"I'll talk to you soon," he said, kissing her head one last time.

Her eyes were still closed so he wasn't even sure she was awake but hopefully that note would be enough to make him call her, if not, he would be seeing her around the rink this summer.

He stood quietly turning to leave. As he walked to the door, he still couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her. The corner of the desk jabbed into his thigh as he walked by in the dark room. Her purse fell to the floor with a soft thud. He set it back on the desk and made his way to the door. Quietly he left the room hoping he would hear from her later.
