F I V E

Kate tossed and turned. In the depths of Colton’s apartment, she could hear the breathy moans of Paloma and Heath and she hoped it was keeping Colton wide awake. After a hot shower, she still wasn’t able to dull the sensation of him pressing up against her, the feel of his mouth on hers. She understood in that moment why women got hooked. He could make her feel things she hadn’t felt in such a long time. The problem was that he knew it, and he was an ass because of it.

She groaned, rolling towards her nightstand. She shuffled through the drawer, pulling out her vibrator and laying back on the bed. She hated that he had this effect on her, that she wanted to feel him inside of her. Kate turned it on, muffling the vibration beneath her blankets as she allowed it to glide along her entrance. She was already completely aroused. The feeling of him had sent her into overdrive, the feel of his tongue ring against her lips made her crazy.

She gasped, pushing the vibrator into herself and only just managing to stop herself from calling out his name. Her fingers curled around the sheets, her back arching as she imagined it was Colton, that hard lump in his pants now filling her up. It wasn’t the same though. She was missing the taste of his mouth on hers, the heat of his tongue darting into her mouth and exploring her.

She could feel her legs shake beneath the blankets, his name on the tip of her tongue.

A pounding on her door tore her away from her impending orgasm. She groaned, turning off the vibrator and tossing it against the blanket and rolling off the bed. Adjusting her pajama shorts, she stepped through the silent lounge room, half-expecting Paloma to be on the other end.

Cinnamon eyes widened in surprise at the shirtless figure of Colton on the other side. His eyes were darker than normal, brimming with something that looked a lot like lust. Grey sweats hung from his hips, not able to hide the erection beneath them.

“Go home, Colton,” Kate snapped, closing the door in his face.

Colton’s big hand came up, preventing the door from slamming and slipped into the narrow gap. He closed it behind him, locking it for good measure and swooped forward. His mouth covered hers before she had a chance to speak, the length of his erection pressing hard against her damp pajama shorts.

Pulling away, Kate shook her head. “Listening to them got you going, huh? Better call someone else. I’m not interested.”

His fingers gripped her chin, pulling her towards him. His face was so close to hers she could smell the mint of his toothpaste. “I don’t want someone else.”

Kate scoffed, “It’s not going to happen.”

“Really?” Even his laugh was tinged with desire, and his lips hit hers once more. He bit her lip as he pulled away, his hand sliding down her neck, lingering between her breasts for a moment, forcing her breath to catch in her throat. “I could hear you through the wall.”

Kate’s cheeks reddened. “What?”

“I could hear you using your vibrator,” he murmured, his teeth grazing the ridge of her collarbone while his hands moved to her shorts, rubbing the thin material to coax out a moan. He succeeded, bringing his blackened eyes up to hers once more. “I could hear you puffing and panting... and I heard you call out my name.”

“No, I didn’t,” Kate snapped, trying to push him away. Her palms pressed against his chest. “You’re dreaming.”

“In my dreams, you’re screaming it,” he grinned, taking in the shock on her features before continuing his attack on her mouth. “Not whimpering like you’re trying to be quiet.”

Opening her mouth to speak, Kate realized she had nothing to say. Her eyes glanced down, embarrassment making her stomach drop.

Colton grabbed her face, forcing her to look at him. “I couldn’t sit in my room listening to you, knowing I could be doing it better.”

He didn’t give her a chance to speak, scooping her up in his muscular arms and kissing her. He led her to the bedroom, settling her down on the bed. His mouth stayed on hers, his fingers fumbling to rip down her pants. Kate couldn’t deny how much she wanted him at that moment, how much she needed him to end this craving that ebbed within her every time he was around. He would fuck her and then he would leave her alone, and maybe that would be the best thing for Kate.

She grabbed the sheets, feeling his lips move from her mouth, along her neck, lapping at the quickened beating of the hollow of her throat before clamping down on the fabric that covered her hardened nipple. She yelped, arching her back and filling his mouth with more of her.

Tugging her to the end of the bed, he slipped to his knees, allowing his breath to blow against the heated spot between her thighs. Her eyes traveled to the floor-length mirror by her bedroom door. The image of him, kneeling between her legs, preparing to taste her drove her crazy.

His mouth collided with her, and Kate couldn’t hold back the moan that escaped her. Gently, as if teasing her, his tongue lapped at the sensitive nub, breaking away every so often to gauge her reaction. As his dark eyes locked on hers, he groaned. Her teeth bit down on her plump lower lip and Colton moved back to her. He sucked and lapped like his life depended on it, his finger sliding into her dripping entrance.

“Oh God, Colton,” she murmured, pulling at the sheets with a new intensity.

Her thighs were shaking, her breath ragged. Colton grabbed her hand, forcing her to tangle her fingers in his black hair. He groaned as she pulled, keeping his face as close to her as possible. With his fingers pumping into her steadily, his tongue sucking at her most sensitive spot, Kate could feel her orgasm approaching. She threw her head back into the mattress, her fingers pulling and tugging only encouraging him to eat her faster, harder.

Adding a second finger, he growled into her, the vibrations sending her over the edge. She cried out, writhing beneath his mouth as he lapped up the last waves of her climax.

His lips glistened as he looked up at her, and Kate wanted nothing more than to kiss him.

“That’s how I imagined it in my dreams,” he smirked, licking her off his mouth as he rose.

The lump in his pants had gotten harder if that was possible and Kate imagined how good it would feel inside her. She shivered at the thought. She could see why women begged and pleaded for his attention. She couldn’t imagine how much experience he must’ve had to be able to make her come that way.

The thought caused her stomach to revolt. She was just another notch in his belt, another one of his bedfellows that he used and discarded like trash. He crawled above her, his mouth hovering dangerously above hers.

Kate shook her head. She couldn’t let it go any further than it already had. “This was a bad idea.”

“What?” The disbelief in his face was evident. “What do you mean?”

“I’m drunk.”

“No, you’re not,” he growled, running his fingers through his hair in irritation. “You didn’t have that many.”

“I think you should leave, Colton.”

“Are you serious?”

Kate could do nothing but nod. Guilt niggled at her, knowing that he had just given her the best orgasm of her life and now she was kicking him out without giving him anything in return. She sighed, “I’ll go down on you, if you want. To make it even, but I don’t think…”

“You think I’m pissed because I got nothing back in return?” he barked, clambering off her and standing angrily by the side of her bed.

“Yes?”

“You’ve got no fucking idea,” he snarled, dark eyes narrowed in on her. His hair was spiky, sticking up in all directions from the tug of her fingers and Kate couldn’t help the blush that rose in her cheeks. “Have a good night, Kate,” he barked, storming from her apartment and slamming the door with so much force that it shook in the hinges for a moment before petering off, leaving Kate alone in the silence.
