Chapter 2
Isabelle
The door clicked behind him before I could even react, and my pulse leapt violently, a wild, jagged rhythm that made my stomach twist and thighs ache with anticipation. Carter stepped inside, his gaze already sharp and predatory, that slow, deliberate smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth like he knew exactly what he’d do to me and how easily I’d fall apart for him. I wanted to protest, to pull back, to play coy, but every muscle in my body betrayed me, every nerve ending flaring with need I had no right to indulge, a deep ache radiating between my thighs and coiling in my stomach so tightly I gasped and had to catch my breath.
He closed the space between us in two steps, his hand brushing lightly against the metal railing of the cot before resting against my hip, firm and heavy, grounding and claiming at the same time, and I shivered, pressing instinctively against him, desperate for friction even though I hadn’t moved yet. “You’ve been thinking about this, haven’t you?” he asked, voice low, rough, dangerous, and I could feel the vibration in my chest. My fingers twitched in my lap, the cuffs digging slightly, and I could barely force the words past the lump in my throat. “Every second you’ve been waiting, imagining me?”
I tilted my head, letting my hair fall just enough to brush his chest, letting the faint scent of my perfume mix with the heat radiating off him, and whispered, “Every second.” My own words made me shiver violently, thighs clenching instinctively, stomach twisting tighter with a hunger I couldn’t control.
Carter’s smirk widened, his hand sliding over my hip, brushing along the curve, teasing, grazing against the edge of my skirt, and I arched back slightly, chest heaving, unable to stop the moan that rose up, short and ragged, from my throat. His fingers pressed lightly against my inner thigh, brushing over the fabric, teasing, testing, before slipping just a fraction higher, and the heat ignited fully, a blaze that made my knees tremble and fingers flex involuntarily.
“God, Isabelle,” he murmured, teeth grazing the shell of my ear. “You’re already wet for me, and I haven’t even touched you properly yet.” His thumb pressed, flicked, stroking over the thin fabric covering my c**t, and I shivered violently, arching back into him, chest heaving, lips parting in a gasp that made him smile darkly.
“I…” I tried to protest, but my voice failed me, ragged and breathless. My hands clenched the edge of the cot, nails digging lightly as he pressed closer, brushing his lips against my neck, teeth grazing lightly, tongue flicking in a way that made my stomach tighten and my thighs tremble, hips instinctively pressing into his palm. The friction, the teasing, the relentless need he was igniting made me ache in ways I had no right to feel, every nerve ending alive, every pulse screaming for release I couldn’t yet have.
Then he shifted, brushing a hand along my back, slowly down to the curve of my waist, gripping firmly, pulling me toward him in a motion that made my breath hitch. And suddenly he was on his knees in front of me, fingers pressing firmly against my thighs, spreading me slightly, just enough to expose my wetness, the slick sheen coating my skin, glistening in the dim light of the room. My pulse spiked violently, stomach twisting tighter, thighs trembling, and I pressed back instinctively, chest heaving, lips parted, gasping for breath.
His eyes were dark, focused, predatory, and then his tongue flicked against me, long and deliberate, tracing a slow path over my c**t, tasting me, teasing, flicking and stroking with an expertise that made me cry out, back arching, hips bucking instinctively into him. My hands tangled in his hair, fingers clutching, pulling him closer, pressing into him as he licked, sucked, stroked, making out a rhythm that made me tremble violently, moans spilling out, ragged, breathless, desperate.
“God, Carter,” I gasped, shivering, thighs clenching, stomach coiled so tightly it hurt, pulse hammering in my chest. “Don’t stop…please.”
He didn’t stop. He pressed harder, tongue flicking and stroking, lips sucking, teeth grazing lightly as he moved, his hands spreading me further, fingers teasing the sensitive skin around my c**t, every movement deliberate, precise, merciless in the way that made my body shiver violently, chest heaving, lips parted, pulse racing, thighs trembling with the intensity of sensation. My back arched, pressing fully into him, and I moaned, head falling back, shivering violently, utterly undone.
Then his fingers joined in, sliding slowly inside me while his mouth continued its relentless assault, curling, stroking, flicking, pressing, and I lost myself completely, moaning uncontrollably, thighs shaking violently, back arching, stomach tightening and coiling, every nerve ending alive with fire. My hands gripped him, tugging, clutching, pressing, desperate for more, for closer, for full possession, for the friction, for the heat that made me tremble violently under his control.
“Oh, f**k,” I gasped, voice ragged, breathless, shivering violently as my body twisted, pulsing, trembling, back arching, hips pressing, thighs clenching uncontrollably. My climax hit in violent, jagged waves, every nerve ending screaming, every pulse hammering, every muscle quivering under the precision of his hands and mouth, and I cried out his name, gasping, trembling, utterly undone.
When I finally caught a ragged breath, my pulse still racing, thighs trembling, stomach coiled, he rose slowly, brushing a hand along my back, helping me steady on the cot. My skin was slick with sweat and arousal, every inch tingling, hair damp against my forehead, lips swollen, chest heaving violently. His eyes were dark, dangerous, and still predatory, and the way he looked at me made me shiver violently, knowing full well he wasn’t done with me.
“Good girl,” he murmured, voice low, rough, dangerous, leaning down to press a fleeting kiss to my lips, just enough to tease, just enough to remind me that the fire wasn’t over. “But we’re just getting started.”
And then he stepped back, leaving me trembling, slick, breathless, utterly undone, but alive with anticipation, aching, desperate for the next claim, the next touch, the next wave of fire he’d unleash. The room felt smaller, tighter, every surface electric with the tension and heat we’d created, and I knew, raggedly, that this was only the beginning—only the start of a game I didn’t want to win, couldn’t resist, and would crave endlessly.
