“What the fuck were you thinking?!” Colton barked, slamming the door behind him. His muscular biceps folded across his chest, dark eyes trailing her weary body.
“I... I had to get out of there,” she sighed. Her head had started to throb, the room spinning. “I don’t feel well.”
His arms scooped her up, her face nuzzling in the soft material of his shirt. She moaned, the scent of his cologne permeating her senses. She was wet already and he hadn’t done a single thing.
“Don’t fucking moan like that,” he snapped.
Kate felt herself drop on the bed, her clothes being yanked from her body. She was unable to stifle her moan, anticipation already heating the junction of her thighs, “Why not?”
“You’re drunk as shit and I can’t fuck you. It’s just a fucking tease.”
Furrowing her brows, Kate glanced down as Colton pulled a pair of shorts over her thighs, “What are you doing?”
“Dressing you.”
His smirk was back and Kate felt the heat from her thigh
Kate awoke with a dull headache. It was actually tolerable considering the amount of alcohol she consumed last night. Yawning softly, she made to thank Colton. The aspirin, his tattooed arms cradling her during the night, the way he made her body tremble as she came. She had no doubt it all combined together to fight off her usual hangover.Caramel-colored eyes trailed over to where Colton had laid during the night, and her heart sank. The bed was empty, void of the almost-naked man with his dark, tempting eyes and his dimpled smile. Of course it was too good to be true.Groaning, Kate rolled from the bed, her bare legs being nipped at by the morning chill. She grabbed a pair of clean panties and headed into the bathroom. The apartment was silent aside from the squeak of the faucets. Knowing that the water would take a minute or two to heat up, she slipped to the sink to brush her teeth.Staring in the mirror, Kate breathed out a frustrated sigh. Her hair was a mes
Curled in bed, Colton’s tattooed arm wrapped tightly around her waist, Kate let out a contented sigh. They’d been talking for hours about anything and everything. Colton had told her about how he met Austin, how he’d played football in school but sucked so he moved to boxing. He’d told her about how he started underground fighting to make money but had been able to escape that life due to his father’s connections. Kate had asked about his family but Colton changed the subject. It wasn’t subtle by any means and she knew it was best to leave it alone. His body tensed and his hair prickled beneath her touch. It was clearly a sore subject.His breath was deep now, his chest rising and falling slowly. Kate’s eyes traveled to his chest tattoo; a black and grey skull with a snake constricting it covering the majority of his left pectoral muscle. It continued across his shoulder and down his left bicep. She wondered if it had any significance, deciding to ask him when he awoke.
Spending time away from the flat, away from Colton would do Kate good. She dawdled to the bedroom, changing into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She grabbed some pajamas and underwear, some workout clothes, and a few outfits for work, before packing some toiletries and slinging her bag over her shoulder. She glanced at her pillow, the one Colton had been resting on and debated taking it with her. Her head and her heart argued but, in the end, her heart won and she snatched it up, tucking it beneath her arm. She grabbed her work bag and her essentials before slipping out of the apartment. She locked the door and jumped when she heard a silky voice ring out behind her.“You look like you need some help.”Kate glanced at the man before her. He was average height with black hair neatly gelled into a quiff atop his head. Hazel, almond-shaped eyes glinted in the sunlight of the hallway and he smiled at her through thin lips.“Oh, I’m right. I’ve just phoned an Uber. Shoul
It’d been three days since Kate had been home. She’d not heard from Colton once and she was resigned to the fact that he had used her. However, she had heard from her landlord, telling her that if she broke the lease, she’d need to pay up until he could find a new tenant. There was no way she could afford both her apartment and her share of Paloma’s so she decided to wait a few more days before returning. She’d need time to prepare herself for the onslaught of women she’d be hearing again.Paloma had bought her some earplugs which made Kate laugh.She was sitting with a small blonde, going through the papers for her stay in a home accommodating women leaving domestic violence houses. Her mind was focused on the task at hand, and she ignored the buzzing of her phone as she typed in the last few details.“Okay, Molly. I’ll send this through. Do you have your stuff with you?” The blonde nodded and Kate continued, “I can drive you there. It’s not far.”Molly sque
Avoiding Colton hadn’t been easy. Kate returned to her apartment for good after coming to a compromise with her landlord. He agreed to let her out of the lease after six months, rather than the twelve she’d signed up for, if she still wanted to go ahead by the end of the month. Kate thanked him profusely. It was a relief, to say the least.Colton seemed to come out for a smoke whenever she was leaving her apartment. They had conversations here and there, but Kate always made sure to keep her distance. She didn’t think she could handle anything more. Her chest ached every night, waiting for the inevitable moans perforating her walls, but they never came.She was sitting cross-legged on her bed, her laptop laid out in front of her along with some papers for work. She’d put some music on, hoping to give herself an escape from imagining Colton. She had heard his bed creak, his soft grunts echoing through the wall. Thankfully, he was keeping his lady friend quiet, although he
Keeping Florence entertained until dinner time seemed effortless for Colton. Kate had sat on the lounge, watching with adoring eyes. He hadn’t been lying when he said he had a knack with kids. He read her stories in funny voices that had her squealing with laughter, played with the trucks and dolls and balls she thrust in his direction without so much as a grumble. When Kate had heated the chicken and rice medley Paloma had prepared, Colton scooped Florence up and rested her against his knee. Dimpled fingers shoveled as much food into her mouth as her little hands would let her. She disregarded the spoon, waving it away when Colton had tried to feed her, content with the mess she was creating.Rice pooled on the floor, a pile of white grains growing on Colton’s dark jeans. As she coughed, he lifted her cup to her mouth, helping her take a sip. It dribbled down her chin as she insisted on eating with a mouth full of water, dripping onto his t-shirt as Florence giggled.Ka
The warmth of Colton’s lips on hers had Kate’s knees buckling beneath her. Strong arms slid around her waist, keeping her steady and pressing against his firm chest. One arm stayed secure around her hips, the other moving to the back of her neck, his thumb brushing against the soft hairs.Kate moaned, Colton’s mouth swallowing it as his tongue caressed hers. The cool sensation of his tongue ring made her dampen in anticipation. She let out a breathy sigh as they broke away, a heat blossoming in her chest as his eyes trailed over her face and down to her breasts. He groaned, the sight of her hardened nipples poking through the flimsy material of her bra. It did nothing to flatter her, and she silently scolded herself for not wearing something nicer.Colton’s hands cupped her soft ass cheeks, his palms kneading into the flesh as he hoisted her against his waist, encouraging her legs to slip around him. She obliged, burying her head in the curve of his neck and kissed. Gent
With his mouth covering hers, Colton pushed himself into her, swallowing the moans that hummed in her throat. Her legs twitched beneath him, as he slid out and thrust into her once again. Her back arched, the velvety skin that covered her breasts pressing up against the hard planes of his chest. Colton grunted, her hips bucking up with each passionate thrust, making him throb inside her. The sensation was overwhelming and Kate didn’t know how much longer she could take before coming undone all over again.Sitting on his knees, Colton grabbed her legs, securing them around his waist as he sunk into her relentlessly. His teeth bit down on his lower lip, his eyes rolling back. “Shit,” he hissed, pulling himself out of her and clamping his hand around the base of his dick.Kate watched in confusion, before Colton’s fingers plunged into her, his thumb tracing circles around the sensitive nub. She cried, her legs clenching against his sides as he leaned down to kiss her.
