CHAPTER 5

Leighton

B eing here with my best friend, seeing her so happy again is surreal. Feeling my own happiness in the way I've craved for so long still has me second guessing if it's real. Carter and I have been spending so much time together lately and I feel like I can truly be myself with him. As Carter walks towards us, my joy is extreme and I run to him. When I reach him, I jump and he catches me, spinning in circles and making me laugh. It feels too good to be true.

Carter places me back on the ground, tangling his fingers in my hair, he pulls my head back so I'm looking up at him. "You look beautiful when you laugh."

I can feel the red creeping up my neck onto my cheeks. I'm not used to guys speaking to me with this much admiration. Smiling at him, I lean up and gently kiss his lips. "Thank you, Sweet Boy." His care for me has felt like a dream. The past few weeks have been nothing but pure happiness. We had both agreed to keep things between us quiet just so we could feel it out since we've both had such shit luck in love. When we found out that both of our best friends had been hanging out, it felt like the right time to start doing things in public.

We all decide to go for a swim in the lake so I undress until I'm down to my bikini and walk over to the tent to throw my clothes in my bag. While in the tent, I feel a hand start sliding across my stomach and instantly smelling the smoky scent of Carter. Standing up right, I lean back against his chest and reach my hand up behind his head to play with his hair as he lowers his hand right where I need his touch.

A moan escapes my lips as he plunges two fingers inside me, pumping them slowly at first. Kissing and sucking the side of my neck, he picks up speed until the sound of my arousal is audible. My knees feel weak from the sensations in my body. Without warning, he removes his fingers and pushes down on my shoulder until I drop to my knees.

Walking around to stand in front of me, he pulls his swim trunks down to reveal his growing erection. Using a finger to pull my chin up, there's determination on his face.

"Stick your tongue out and swallow my cock, Sunshine." He doesn't need to tell me twice. Sticking out my tongue, he shoves his dick in my mouth until he hits the back of my throat. His moan makes me that much wetter. He fucks my face, and I grip and scratch his thighs, until his cum shoots down the back of my throat. The salty taste of it turns me on more.

Standing on my feet, I look at him, waiting for his next command. He gestures to the cooler on the other side of the tent. "Bend over and put your hands on it. Spread your legs for me."

Walking over, making sure to give him a view, I do as he says. Within seconds, Carter is kneeling behind me. Spreading my legs wider, he licks, bites and sucks on my clit as I moan out in pleasure.

The words come out in pieces between moans. "More, oh please! Fuck me!" Before I have time to think about what he's doing, Carter has stopped and stood up, abruptly shoving his cock into me. He pumps hard and fast, gripping my hips in his hands. The burn is a delicious sensation as my body ignites in flames with the roughness he's using. Carter reaches up with one hand, wrapping his fingers in my hair. He gives a sharp tug, pulling me to lean against his chest. His other hand trails down my hips, dipping into my wet center, circling my clit. I'm left gasping for air. The feeling is almost too much, and not nearly enough at the same time. Our moans mingle, and with one last thrust we both reach our climax. Still inside me, Carter and I struggle to catch our breath. Once we finally do, he slowly pulls out of me, reaching behind him to grab a towel. Slowly and gently, he wipes me clean.

After redressing, we emerge from the tent to see that Dani and Braxton are back on the boat and seem to be drunk. I'm not sure how long we were in there but clearly it was just long enough. Walking over, Dani gives me her drunken side smile and says with a slur, "where did youuuu two go?" I can't contain my laughter. Drunk Dani is my favorite. In these moments she feels so much joy and contentment.

"I was just putting my clothes away in the tent, I also had a quick drink." Dani gives me her 'I know what you did' look with an exaggerated mhm. This woman knows me all too well, but I know she's happy for me.

Checking my phone, I see that it's 2PM. The day is just flying by. Looking over, I see Carter running towards the bow of the boat. As soon as he gets to the edge, he jumps, doing a backflip into the water.

"Let's go boys and girls!" He yells out before splashing in the water.

We all break out into a laugh before running and jumping in after him. The water is warm and everything feels perfect. Carter swims up to me and I wrap my legs around his waist. I bring my arms up, circling them around his neck before gently kissing him on the lips.

"Thank you for today, I needed this." He kisses me again and pulls me closer. Looking over to Dani and Braxton, she's on his shoulders with her head thrown back, laughing at something he said. You can see the connection they have and I couldn't be happier for her.

A few hours later, we're back on the beach, packing up our things. Carter was throwing a bonfire next to the cornfield tonight and we had to get ready. Once we have everything packed, we climb back onto the boat. Heading back, we dock before going to our respective cars. Looking at Braxton and Dani, I smile.

"See you tonight. Nobody gets to chicken out on drinking!" With that said, I hop in the passenger side of Carter's Jeep as they all laugh. Carter gets in beside me and instantly starts the music up. Post Malone plays as we sing along the entire way back to his place. Carter belts out every word with no ounce of stage fright in sight. His happiness radiates off of him. Undoing my seatbelt, I stand on my seat, half out of the top of the Jeep with my hands in the air. I feel free.

Getting back to Carter's, I can feel the sand still on my skin and decide to shower. "Shower with me? Promise I'll make it worth it." Carter gives me a flirty wink and chases me up the stairs. He catches me at the top, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder and walking towards the bathroom. His hand is curved around my thigh, so close to where I truly want him. I can feel my insides burning with want.

With me still over his shoulder, Carter turns on the water then places me on my feet. He pulls his shirt over his chest revealing his tattoos and toned body. I return the gesture and remove my bikini top, dropping it to the floor. We continue the dance with each piece of clothing until we are both completely naked, standing there, staring at each other. Slowly, he walks over and grabs my hand, walking backwards into the shower.

Feeling the hot water on my skin, I instantly relax, stepping closer to Carter. He wraps me in his arms and holds me close, placing his lips on my head, looking down at me. "You are the most gorgeous little thing to ever step into my life, Sunshine."

The last two months of being around Carter have been just like this. He makes me feel like royalty and has done everything in his power to ensure that I'm happy and taken care of.

Looking up at Carter, I can't help but smile and thank him. He's this big guy covered in tattoos that literally murders people but all I can see is this perfect, loving, goofy, gentle giant. When he told me about what he did, I was shocked at first but the more he explained it, the more okay with it I was. I'm not new to death. My father owning his company has shown me many sides of people.

Rich men will do whatever is necessary to ensure their assets are safe.

My childhood was very different from other kids. We moved a lot and I was always enrolled in a private boarding school. I didn't have any friends because of this. Sure I met a lot of people at each school, but those friendships never stuck. Not until Dani. We met at a random party in college when she spilled her drink all over the front of my dress. She was so apologetic and sweet and when we got to talking, we learned how much we really had in common. We have been inseparable ever since. I would not trade my best friend for the world.

All too soon, shower time ends and Carter steps out, kissing my forehead on the way. Wrapping himself in a towel, he grabs one for me as I shut the water off. Walking over to me, he wraps me in the biggest bath towel that I have ever seen. Seeing the look on my face, he chuckles.

"I didn't want you to be cold. The heated floor can only warm so much." The urge to kiss him runs through me so I do just that. As the kiss gets more passionate, the big towel drops to the floor and my body becomes heated with lust. Our tongues dance around for dominance while our hands roam each other's skin.

Breaking the kiss, I look up at him with desire in my eyes. "How much time do we have?"

His eyes darken as they rake over my body. "Enough." In one quick motion, he has my legs wrapped around his waist and his lips on mine, walking to his bedroom.

Once in, he drops me to the bed and flips me over, pulling my hips up so my knees are under me. "Stay just like that. Keep that pretty pussy and tight ass in the air." I'm struggling to catch my breath as I pant through the rush of adrenaline. When he returns, I get no warning before his head is between my legs and there's a vibration on my most sensitive area. Gasping, the pleasure hits me almost instantly. My body begins to shake from the sensations I'm feeling all at once. Right when I'm about to explode, he stops.

"FUCK! Why did you stop? Please!" I hardly recognize myself begging like this.

"Patience, Sunshine." Patience my ass. I feel like he just gave me blue balls. Next thing I know, he flips me on to my back and puts my legs over his shoulders, ramming himself inside me. I can't even get words out, just screams and moans. Carter doesn't relent. He continues slamming into me at full force and my toes start to go numb. "Fuck. You're so wet. Sing for me, Pretty Girl." His words flow through me and my moans get louder. Fire swirls in my lower stomach and I'm overcome with pure ecstasy as I reach my peak and release. It only takes Carter a few more pumps before he gets to that point and releases inside of me. "You don't get to clean yourself this time. I want you to feel me inside of you the rest of the night." Holy fuck.

An hour later, we're both in sweatpants and sweatshirts as the temperature outside has cooled down. We pack up what we need for the night and walk outside to Carter's Jeep. Once I'm in my seat, I send a quick text to Dani.

Me: Heading to the field now! See you there!! Xoxo

Dani: Can't wait!

Putting my phone away with a smile, I turn to the back seat to put my blanket back there but what I see leaves me curious. Carter's skull mask from The Pursuit sits on the seat, staring at me.

"Why is the mask back there?" He turns to me with a smirk.

"Braxy and I decided we're gonna have some fun with you girls tonight." Who the hell knows what that means. Those two are wild cards and there's only one way to find out.
