Page 10 of Ruin the Friendship

I’ve been rotating around these tables for the last half hour, and I swear if I hear one more guy talk about bitcoin or who’s going to win the Stanley cup, I’m going to throw the rest of my drink in their face. I peer over at Kelsey, who looks just as miserable, and silently curse her for doing this to me. Her eyes meet mine and plead with me to stick it out, but I can’t do it.

“Sorry…” I look at the guy in front of me, struggling to remember his name.

“Jason.” I give him a sad smile before standing.

“Sorry Jason, but I need to leave. It was nice meeting you.” Just as he goes to say something, I’m out of my chair and heading toward the exit.

“Ash wait!” Kelsey yells from behind me, stopping me right before I hit the doors. “You’re really leaving?” I nod, feeling the same eyes on me that I’ve felt all night and knowing I won’t be able to take it anymore. With every guy I talked to, I felt his anger radiating toward me. With every smile I gave, every laugh I faked, I knew he was seething in the corner. “Where are you going?” I shrug.

“Our room probably. I just need to get out of here, this isn’t my scene.” Guilt floods her eyes and I smile, taking both her shoulders in my hands and squeezing. “I know you meant well. This just isn’t for me.” She nods, the look of guilt still lingering, so I continue, “But I want you to go back and mingle, okay?” She shakes her head, ready to follow me. “Hey, I want you to mingle then go hang out with that lifeguard who hasn’t been able to take his eyes off you since this afternoon.” Kelsey blushes, her eyes falling to the floor.

“I really like him,” she admits, her eyes softening.

“I know you do. So go have a good time.” She hesitates for a second before hugging me and then making her way back toward the table. I watch her for a second, making sure she’s okay before I push through the door and take the first deep breath I’ve taken in what feels like hours.

I slowly make my way down the hall, passing a few crew members as they give me a slight smile. Just as I’m about to push onto the outer deck I’m pulled back, spun around, and slammed against the nearest wall. My mouth opens on a silent scream but when I see Kacey’s rapidly darkening eyes I moan, knowing I need this, want this, more than I even know.

“Do you know how fucking hard it is to watch you talk to other men for half an hour?” I shake my head, loving the way his hands grip my hips as he pulls me flush against him. “Do you have any idea how fucking much I wanted to pick you up and take you out of that room?” I shake my head again right before his palm cups the side of my face and his forehead rests against mine. “I can’t fight this anymore Ash. I tried, but after tasting you earlier, I can’t stay away.” He pulls back, those words ringing in my ears as I give him a slight nod, knowing I’m going to regret this but not giving a shit right now. I’m taking what I’ve wanted for the first time in years, and I want him.

“Kiss me,” I demand, his eyes widening as his fingers dig into my scalp. I open my mouth to beg him, but he smirks, gripping my hair in his fist and slamming his mouth to mine.

CHAPTER EIGHT

KACEY

The second my lips touch hers all semblance of reality washes away and all I can do is devour her as best I can. My fingers lace through her hair, tangling in the strands as I steer her to exactly where I want her.

Her mouth opens as her tongue whispers against my lips, tasting me until she’s panting for every breath. I move into her, pushing her further against the wall, shielding her from prying eyes. She gasps as a deep groan settles in my chest, her hands resting against my stomach as she softly pushes me away.

“Kace, what are we doing?” she asks, her eyes pleading but for what answer I don’t know. I shake my head, take her hand, and lead her toward the elevators without a word. Her fingers grip mine, her breathing becoming erratic as I pull her into the tight space as it descends. “Kacey?” she whispers, her small voice echoing in the space around us. I take a deep breath, needing to control myself as I take in the woman before me. She looks the same as she did all those years ago in that garage, sexy as fuck with curves that would make any man weep at her feet. The longer I’m around her the more I see the uncertainty in her gaze, and the more I convince myself that I will eradicate that look from her once and for all. Her long wavy auburn hair falls loose around her shoulders, a flowy simple black dress hits her in all the right places as my fingers itch to trace the hem only to hear that intake of breath I know will follow.

“You have no idea, do you?” I mutter, stepping into her and chuckling as her gasp fills my ears. She shakes her head, eyes wide as I lightly kiss up the column of her throat. “You have no idea how hard it’s been not being this close to you. You have no idea how many times I’ve stopped myself from touching you, kissing you, hell, fucking you until you can’t walk properly.”

“Kace,” she gasps, her mouth opening but I steal it, kissing her until she melts against me. I know we have a lot to talk about, but I also know if I don’t get her back to my room, and soon, I will be fired from this ship for having sex in an elevator.

Just as I’m about to throw all my reservations out the window and sink to my knees in front of her right here, the doors miraculously open and I haul her down the hall, grasping my key and opening the door with expert precision. The second I hear the audible click of the door shutting behind us, I grasp her ass, lifting until her legs wrap around my waist.

“Of course, you feel better than anything I could imagine.” Her eyes widen before my hand wraps around her throat, her head hitting the wall behind her as I take her lips with mine.

“Kace, please…” she begs, those words causing arousal to shoot to my cock as it hardens even more between us. I push us off the wall, licking up her neck as her groans fill the room. The second my knees hit the side of the bed I drop her, her laughter washing over me as she bounces on the mattress.

“Naked. I need you naked,” I mutter, sinking to my knees as she gasps, my fingers trailing up her thighs and under her dress until it’s bunched at her waist. “I mean it, Ash, I need to see all of you.” She quickly does as I ask, ripping the dress from her body and undoing the bikini top that looks fucking edible against her tits. Part of me can’t even believe this is actually happening. I’ve had her a million times in a million different ways inside my head, but watching her undress for me, feeling her against me, and knowing I’m minutes away from actually fucking her. It’s too insane to be real.

I strip out of every piece of clothing before I crawl onto the bed, my eyes drinking her in because she looks incredible. She is perfect. Every inch of her was made just for me and I can’t wait to taste all of her. My gaze lingers on her breasts, watching as they rise and fall with each heavy breath before traveling down to the prize between her legs; her utterly perfect, wet pussy. And all I can think is that it’s all mine.

I slide between her legs, my cock throbbing as my mouth waters at the thought of tasting her. I kiss my way up her thighs, the soft mewling sound that escapes her lips egging me on as I push them apart, giving myself ample room to devour her. I take one last look at her before I move in, my tongue dragging over her silky-smooth pussy. Her cries of pleasure fill my ears, her back arching as her fingers lace themselves in my hair, pulling until I feel that hint of pain. I growl, swiping my tongue over her, parting her lips and devouring her as my cock throbs beneath me. I move to her clit, my hands still pushing her legs wide as she shivers, my tongue delving deep, needing more of her taste.

“Oh fuck,” Ashley gasps, writhing and squirming under my touch. “Kace, please! I’m so close!” Her mouth opens on a silent scream as the orgasm blasts over her, my fingers digging into her thighs as I lick her through her pleasure, basking in her taste and wondering how I went so long without experiencing this bliss.

“That was one,” I mutter against her pussy, kissing it lightly before hauling myself up and cupping the side of her face.

“One what?” she asks, breathless.

“One orgasm. You didn’t think I would let you out of this bed without giving you multiple, did you?” Her eyes widen and I chuckle softly, lightly kissing her lips before getting up and grabbing a condom from my pants. The second it’s on I’m back between her thighs, lining up with her entrance. Before she can say a word, I sink deep, her jaw dropping as I fill her completely.

“Fucking hell,” she mutters, every breath I had in my lungs before this moment is gone. My body feels weightless as her warmth wraps around my cock, strangling it until I don’t think I can take anymore. “Move,” she whimpers, her fingers digging into my shoulders and her hips gyrating beneath me. “Kace, please move,” she begs, and I oblige, slowly pulling out before sinking right back in.

“Fuck, Ashley,” I grunt, thrusting harder as she moans eagerly. “You’re so fucking tight baby. Fuck, I knew it would be sexy as fuck to see my cock sink inside of you, but this?” I whisper, her eyes locking on mine. “This is perfection.” Instead of saying something sarcastic like I assumed she would, Ashley leans up, her fingers tangling in the loose strands of hair at the base of my skull, and pulls my lips to hers.
