Erica is going to be a problem.
A stony silence permeated the car ride to the resort. The privacy partition between us and Stan was raised, cloaking us in quiet. Val might as well have been a brick wall herself, with the way she sat angled away from me with her arms crossed.
“Val, I—”
“Don’t.”
She wouldn’t look at me, dammit, and it was pissing me off. “I didn’t ask you to lie for me.”
At that, she rounded on me, her brow slanted in a fierce frown. I’d take her anger any day over this frigid silence. “And what would you have said to her if I hadn’t swooped in and said I was your fucking butler?”
F-bombs. She’s really pissed.But even though I had no right to be mad, my misplaced anger and frustration at the situation came out in my tone. “I would have told her the truth. I’d have said you’re my friend, Val.”
“Women like Erica know exactly what being a ‘friend’ to men like you means.”
“What are you saying?” I asked, my tone growing darker by the second.
“She took one look at us and decided we’re fucking. Couldn’t you see it all over her face? Looked like the cat that ate a whole box of canaries.”
“I wasn’t aware they came in boxes,” I quipped.
“Don’t becutewith me, Nolan,” she snapped, turning in her seat to fully face me. “Bet you’ve had a lot of ‘friends’ like me and her, haven’t you?”
I smashed my molars together, clenching my hands into fists. “You’re making a lot of assumptions.”
“But I’m not wrong, am I?”
When she crossed her arms under her tits, I could see her nipples straining against the material of her thin sweater.No bra?At the sassy sparkle in her eyes, I knew she’d dressed this way on purpose. To drive me wild. She was pissed, but she was also very, very turned on.I could work with that. My girl wanted to stake her claim, and I had every intention of letting her.
In one swift move, I tagged her around the waist and pulled her into my lap until she was straddling me. As her weight settled on me, my cock swelled against my pants.
“Does this feel like I just want to be friends, Val?” I asked, thrusting up into her. Her hands fell to the lapels of my suit jacket as she rocked her hips against me.
“But Stan…” she said, shooting a glance toward the partition.
“Stan won’t say anything. I paid him extra today.” I fastened a hand around the back of her neck, gripping tightly. “Answer me.”
On a breathy exhale, she said, “It feels…god, it feels amazing.”
She has no idea. But she will.I slid my hands under her sweater, seeking out her silky skin as she continued grinding on me. It felt so fucking good to finally get my hands on her. At the small noise that escaped her, I let my hands wander higher until I was cupping those perfect, perky tits. When she let out a gasp, I captured it with my lips, swallowing her moans. It had been far too long since I’d last had my mouth on her. I thought she’d pull away, but her tongue reached out for mine, her teeth finding my lower lip and tugging me closer.
“Nolan, we shouldn’t,” she said after a moment, but those sexy hips of hers started circling in a hypnotizing motion, and I was powerless against it.
“I can’t have you thinking you’re my friend, Val. Because the things I want to do to you? God, I hope you don’t do them with your friends.”
“What do you want to do to me?”
Instead of answering, I unbuttoned her jeans and slid my fingers into the waistband of her panties, snapping it against her skin. “Thong?”
“Maybe,” she said, smiling against my mouth as she raised up on her knees to give me better access. Tucking both hands inside her tight jeans—which was no easy feat—I grabbed her bare ass cheeks and hauled her closer, trailing hot kisses down her throat. Fuck, what I wouldn’t give to rip these pants off and see her bare before me again.
When I rubbed a hand across the swatch of lace covering her pussy, she shuddered, the heat of her blazing against my fingertips. I wanted to sink my cock inside her, feel her clench and moan around me as I claimed her. But my first time with Val would not be in the back seat of an Escalade when we were rushed for time.
I could still play with her, though.
Teasing a finger across her waistband, I looked up at her, the hunger in her eyes matching mine. “I’m going to fuck you with my fingers now.”
“I wish you would.”
