TAKING THE FALL - the Complete Series (24 page)

I kiss her lips, and as our breaths even out I look into her eyes again. “There you are,” I whisper, and I can see that she’s back with me.

After I washed us off in the shower, I took Cherry to bed and made her eat before she took a nap. We lay there naked for a few hours while she slept on my chest and I played with her hair. She clung to me the whole time, like I would suddenly have the need to be somewhere else.

“
Wake up, baby.” I rouse her, and she opens her eyes. She’s so goddamn adorable when she first wakes up. “I brought you and the baby more to eat. And I’m ready for some answers about what happened.”

She looks at me reluctantly but slowly starts to explain. She tells me everything that happened from the moment I got the phone call to when I found her in the backseat of the car. I sit there and listen to everything. On the outside I look calm and collected, but on the inside I am a raging bull ready to tear this whole fucking place to shreds.

“
Carter, I know the answer and won’t ask…”

“
No. I’ve never fucking touched your mother,” I answer before she finishes her sentence. I need to erase all doubts in her mind about the lies her parents told her.

“
I didn’t so much as shake her goddamn hand the first time I met her, and I certainly never fucked her. I don’t know what kind of delusional bullshit your dad is telling you, and most likely feeding your mom, but it’s lies. All. Of. It.”

“
I know, Carter. I trust you. I believe you. Everything he’s ever told me has been a lie. They both just messed with my head, and I didn’t know what to believe. I’m sorry if I ever had a shred of doubt that you didn’t have what’s best for me in mind. I know you would never do anything that would hurt me in anyway if you could prevent it.”

My heart warms at how much she trusts me. She’s finally got it. Really got it. Everything I do since the moment I laid eyes on her is for her.

“
You’re mother has issues, Cherry. Big ones. When I first came there she did try to get with me a few times and I brushed her off. I was annoyed at first, but over time I just felt bad for her. Your father is good at playing head games, Layla. That’s what he does, and he even did it to your mother. He finds people’s weaknesses and then exploits them. He gets off on the shit. He knows the part of you that is most vulnerable and he attacked it and that’s what he did to you tonight. I’m betting he’s been doing it to your mother for years. I’ve never used you for anything, and I’ll never leave you, Cherry. I swear.”

“
I know, Carter. If there is anything in life I know for sure it’s that you will always find me.

“
Always,” I confirm

“
Why do you think my mother acted that way tonight? Where has she been?” I can see the pain in her eyes. Having both your parents lose it on you can’t be easy, but I don’t think her mother is as bad as she seems.

“
I think your mom got caught up in your father’s games. Once she even said to me she saw how I looked at you, that she wanted to be looked at like that. I think she’s lonely, and after everything went down that night I think she bolted for a while. Why she came back, I have no idea.”

“
I hope she gets the help she needs,” she whispers. I just nod because I hope she does too. I have no idea what the woman was like before she met O’Leary, but spending years with a man like him couldn’t be good for anyone’s sanity.

I watch her to make sure she eats everything I made for her. She needs to keep up her strength for herself and the baby. I worry about them both so much. After she’s finished I clear the plates and slip off the loose shorts I had on.

I stand naked in front of her and my cock is hard…again.

Layla smiles up at me and raises an eyebrow. “Now what did you have in mind, Carter?”

“
Well, obviously, I need to eat. Spread them thighs, baby, I’m a starving man.”

Cherry giggles a little but lies back on the bed and spreads her legs. She loves having her pussy eaten and is all too eager for me to get in there and enjoy it. It’s nice to be on the same page.

I crawl up the bed and kiss my way up her inner thighs. She giggles some more, and I smile against her skin. She’s so ticklish here but never asks me to stop. Once I kiss and lick my way to her honey center I put my nose against her and breathe in her scent. She smells so sweet, and my mouth immediately begins to water. My mouth starts to water because I want to taste her pussy so bad. I grind my hard cock against the bed and finally allow myself a lick. We both groan at the action, and I can’t deny either of us anymore. I use both my hands to roughly push her knees apart. “Keep your fucking knees spread, Cherry. This pussy is mine.”

I lick her up and down fast and hard, asshole to clit and back again. I suck her pussy lips and then start tonguing inside her. I’m all over her, eating her excitedly. I can’t take it anymore, and I reach down to stroke my cock. I’m so fucking turned on eating her pussy, I need to cum while I do it.

I jerk my cock hard and squeeze the base, trying to hold off from cumming. I suck her clit, and I know it’s a losing battle. I feel her start to cum while I have my entire face buried in her pussy, and it sends me over the edge. I cum all over my hand, the sheets, my stomach, everywhere. She grinds her release against my face as I make a mess like a fifteen-year-old boy.

Once she comes down from her peak she looks at me and smiles really big. “Come fuck me, Carter. I need another orgasm before I go to sleep.”

I sit up and she sees the cum everywhere. I blush a little for the first time in my life. I’m still hard as fuck so I shrug and move into position.

“
Does that thing ever go down?” she asks on a moan as I slide into her.

“
You want it to?” I ask back, grinning from ear to ear. I thrust hard as she answers “never” and throws her head back in ecstasy.

I reach up and grab the headboard for leverage. This is going to be some bed-shaking sex.

Suddenly there’s a loud knock on the door.

“
Yo, Carter. We got company.”

LAYLA

I wrap my legs around Carter and squeeze my pussy muscles to try to lock him in place.

“
You’re not helping, Cherry,” he grunts as he pulls out, but he then thrusts fully back in. I don’t want him to go. I want him to finish what he started.

I moan loudly, and Carter puts his hand over my mouth to muffle the sounds of my pleasure.

“
Saint’s my friend and all, Cherry, but if he hears you cum, I’ll tan your ass. Only I get to hear that,” he warns me, thrusting powerfully and making the bed knock against the wall. “This is going to be fast, baby. Grab the headboard.”

I reach up and wrap my fingers around the bars and grip the headboard tightly.

“
You gonna be quiet while I fuck you, Cherry?” he asks, still holding his hand over my mouth.

I nod my head, and he releases his hold and sits back. He positions himself on his knees, between my legs, causing me to release my locked legs from around him. Gripping my hips hard, he pulls me into his lap so that I’m completely stretched out on the bed. I tighten my hold on the bars and keep my fingers locked.

“
It won’t take me long, baby, not with you laid out like this, all for the taking. Fuck, I love seeing your red hair all wild over my pillow.”

Gripping my hips in a tighter hold, Carter starts to thrust fast. I can feel another orgasm building. I bite the inside of my mouth to stop from moaning. I look up into Carter’s face and see his intensity. His eyes are on my pussy. He watches his cock slide in and out of me, it’s almost like he can’t look away.

“
Fuck, baby, I’m so close. You’re going to come with me, aren’t you?” he says, his thrusts picking up speed. I raise my hips, meeting him halfway, showing him I’m close too. I feel my sex close eagerly around him. He withdraws and then thrusts even deeper.

“
Yes,” I moan, tipping my head back as I let him control my body. I know he’ll get me there. Carter always makes sure I have what I need, that I get what I want.

Smack.

My eyes fly open when I feel him smack the top of my pussy, over my clit.

“
I said quiet, Cherry.”

I’m not sure why he thinks slapping my pussy would make me stop. I want him to do it again, so I moan his name louder this time, and I’m sure Saint can hear it if he’s outside the door. He smacks it again and again, and I cum at his final smack. I feel my pussy walls contract as if trying to make Carter’s cock go deeper inside me, wanting him to stay there forever. My back arches off the bed, and I give myself over to the pleasure. I feel Carter’s own release deep inside me, filling me with his warm cum. My pussy contracts even more, as if it craves it. Pleasure hums through my whole body.

“
Carter, I’m not fucking around. That Justin guy is outside!” Saint booms while pounding on our bedroom door.

“
Fuck! Give me a minute,” Carter says, pulling from my body

“
Justin’s here?” I exclaim and scurry off the bed. I can feel Carter’s cum slide down my thighs, and I go into the bathroom to clean myself up. With everything that’s happened, I had completely forgotten about Justin. I’m such a freaking horrible person. Here I am having mind-blowing orgasms with Carter, and I let him slip my mind. How selfish can I be?

When I come back out of the bathroom, Carter is fully dressed and standing in the center of the room. I’m still naked and his eyes are fixed on my boobs. I roll my eyes and make my way to the closet to find something to wear.

“
No way, Cherry. Get your ass back in that bed.”

“
What? Why?” I question, still digging through the closet.

“
Because I’m not sure why that dipshit is here or how he knows what this place is.”

Turning to look at him, I know he’s right. How does Justin know about the warehouse? But that doesn’t matter at the moment. “Let’s go find out then.”

“
No, I’ll go find out. You get your ass back in the bed, and wait for me.”

“
Fine.” I scowl and make my way over to the bed. There is no point arguing with him. I’ll just wait for him to leave the room. And then I’ll get dressed and go downstairs.

He eyes me skeptically. Maybe I gave in too quickly, and he’s onto me. I get under the covers to make it seem like I really plan on staying put.

He comes over to the bed and leans over, giving me a soft kiss.

“
Be right back, baby. Keep my spot warm.”
