If Carter is already gone, what does it matter?
I don’t know where he is, but I have to find him. I check the campus first, running to his office only to find it completely cleared out, confirming that, in fact, the worst has indeed happened.
Carter has been fired. And it’s all my fault.
He must be absolutely devastated, I think to myself. Worry and fear fills my heart. I have to find him. I have to find a way to comfort him and console him, to assure him that I have his back, no matter what.
He did this for me. And now, he has nothing.
Well, that’s not true. He has me. He has us.
And together, we have our future. We can face any storm life throws our way. I just know it. Carter and I are meant to be together and nothing is going to stop that.
The urge to tell him all of this overwhelms me and I break out into a jog, heading off campus and towards his house.
I need to make him understand that I recognize the severity of what he’s given up for me.
I just have to find him first.
ChapterThirty-Nine
Eve
“Carter…”I gasp when I find him still in my bed. “You were fired?”
He gives me a small smile. “No. I quit.”
“What? Why?” I’m stunned.
Carter draws me down to sit on the bed beside him. His hands land on my waist, his gaze intense as he explains.
“It had to happen sometime. When you had a run-in with your friend Vi, I realized that the time for me to resign was near.” He reaches up and cups my jaw. “It’s fine. Really.”
I have no words, so I give his shoulder disgruntled shove.
“It is not fine!” I screech. “What have you done?”
“Nothing that I can’t recover from.”
“You’re crazy. You know that?”
Carter shrugs. “Crazy about you. I would rather have you than anyone else. Besides, it’s done now. There’s no use arguing about it.”
“You’re way too calm about this whole thing.”
A dimple flashes in his cheek as he smirks. “I think you should come back to bed with me.”
“Carter!” His tone gets me all flustered. “As if coming back to bed and kissing you will get your job back…”
He draws back the blanks and I see that he’s still completely nude. Not only that, but his cock is erect. Instant electricity crackles between us, almost strong enough to touch. His hands dig into my hips. Damn him. My pussy grows damp at the mere thought of his big cock stretching me out and filling me completely..
“You could do more than kiss, if you wanted,” Carter whispers, his voice thick with lust. “Just saying…”
“Yeah,” I agree playfully, licking my top lip. “I could take off someone’s clothes. Run my hands over their bare skin. Take their cock into my mouth…”
“You’re killing me,” he hisses.
I smirk, but keep going.
