The Full Experience (26 page)

Beck gripped her thighs as she lowered herself back down, rocking her hips back and forth. She continued her movements, increasing the pace with her heart beating almost out of her chest in time with the pulsating deep inside her. Beck breathed heavily, clenching his jaw as his body began to quiver underneath her.

Raven’s toes curled as the pleasure began to take over her body. Beck’s fingertips pressed into her flesh, stroking back so he could cup her ass as she rolled her hips atop him.

Her breath caught in her throat when Beck looked up into her eyes. The gray had almost disappeared, replaced with the black of his pupils; the light from the lamp glancing off them.

“Baby,” he ground out, his eyes twitching and the sound of his breath disappearing from the room.

Raven moaned in ecstasy, and Beck thickened inside her. She knew he was close, as was she. She reached back to her ass and took his hands, locking their fingers together, and leant forward, holding them down either side of his head, just like he had done to her. From that position the spot inside her was hit vigorously every time and her skin prickled as the pressure built. She was going over the edge, and she couldn’t hold back.

Beck shifted, lifting their hands and slightly sat up, pressing their bodies together whilst Raven continued to ride him. Her breasts pressed against his hard chest, and Beck reached up, cupped her head, and took her mouth with his own.

Raven wrapped her arms around him completely. The final switch flicked, and her body shook as she shattered to pieces.

“Beck…Ah…Beck!” she cried as her orgasm crashed through her.

“Raven…
God
!” he growled as he pumped up into her, finding his own release.

Both breathless, they slowed still holding onto each other. Raven twirled her fingers in the back of Beck’s hair as he ran his fingertips down the skin of her back with his other hand holding her tight.

Beck tilted his head back and softly kissed Raven’s lips, then turned his head to the side, pressing his cheek against her upper chest as he embraced her. He pecked the soft skin between her neck and shoulder so tenderly Raven’s heart skipped a beat. There was no way she could deny her feelings for Beck. However, she didn’t want to panic him by admitting the extent to which she felt.

When their breathing returned to normal, Raven lifted off, and Beck freshened himself up in the bathroom. She lay down on his bed, under the sheet, and waited.

Without saying a word, Beck climbed in behind her, pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. Raven tangled their legs together and held onto his hands with hers. Beck kissed the back of her neck a few times, and then Raven felt his hot breath against her skin. She listened to his breathing even out, and her own eyes grew heavy and she found herself falling asleep.

It was early hours in the morning when she woke up again, face to face with Beck.

His long dark lashes fanned across his cheeks, and his lips slightly parted as he slept. His cheeks were a light shade of pink, and his hair was ruffled on the pillow.

She stroked her fingers across his jaw, and the corners of his mouth turned up before relaxing again.

Her heart ached as she watched him sleep. It had never occurred to her that she would ever be in that position with Beck, but there she was in his bed with him, and feeling things for him that were so strong she had to swallow the lump in her throat and fight back the emotions that threatened to spill down her cheeks.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer,” Beck whispered, startling her.

“How long have you been awake?” she asked, holding back her smile.

“Since before you woke up,” he replied, opening one eye and grinning at her.

Beck chuckled when Raven lightly swatted his arm. “I thought you were sleeping,” she said.

“I know. That was the whole point,” he said, and opened both of his gorgeous eyes.

“It’s five-thirty,” she said, glancing to the clock. “I should get back to my dorm before we get caught.”

“I know. We don’t want anybody seeing you doing the walk of shame.”

“Hey!” she whisper shouted. “I wouldn’t be; I’m not ashamed in the slightest.”

“Good,” he smiled, brushing her hair over her shoulder.

They both got out of bed, and Raven put on her underwear.

“Here, take these,” Beck said, holding out a tee and sweatpants for her. There was no way she could put on the dress again. It lay in tatters on his floor.

“Thanks.”

Raven put on the tee and heard Beck take a breath before she put on his pants.

“Turnaround,” he gestured a circle with his finger. Raven turned in a circle so Beck could see her in just his tee. “Gorgeous,” he whispered, making Raven blush. “Even better than the O-week party.”

Raven put on his sweats and rolled the waistband to make the legs fit. Beck stared as she did.

Once out of the dorm, Beck swept Raven off her feet again.

“I can’t have you walking barefoot,” he said as she held her shoes in her hands.

Once at her building, Beck lowered her to the floor and pulled her in for a deep kiss, threading his hands through her hair before releasing her.

“I’ll see you at breakfast,” he whispered against her lips, then left her standing. She watched his wide back and tight ass as he walked away. He glanced over his shoulder and made her stomach flip when he winked.

“Hey. You’re back late,” Ava said sleepily when Raven entered their room.

“Sorry. We fell asleep,” she said quietly closing the door.

“No problem, Ray. Donnie left a few minutes ago himself,” she smiled, then noticed Raven’s attire and the rags in her hands.

“I’m so sorry, I’ll get you another one,” Raven said quickly.

“What happened to it?” Ava asked, but she didn’t look mad.

“The zip got stuck and, well, Beck got impatient…”

“So he tore it off you,” she interrupted. Raven nodded. “Go you!” Ava laughed.

“You’re not mad?”

“
God
no. By all means, tear away!” Ava laughed again, falling back. “He wanted you bad enough so I’m totally ok with it.”

“You know you’re the best, right?” Raven said, sitting down and hugging her best friend.

“Hey, I have to be,” she shrugged. “Who else would put up with you disappearing to have sex with your boyfriend?”

“I had to put up with your ‘studying’ for a while before you told me about Donnie,” Raven countered.

“Yeah,” Ava said with a dreamy look in her eyes. “We studied
so
hard.”

Chapter 9

Raven woke up with a throbbing between her thighs. Even after a month, Beck still managed to leave behind the ache of him inside her. She wasn’t complaining one little bit. She loved waking up with the previous day’s events lingering.

“You’ve got a shit eating grin on your face this morning,” Ava said from her own bed. “I’m guessing Beck put that there?”

Raven nodded happily. “He sure did,” she sighed. “I’m still aching from yesterday.”

She picked up her phone and checked to see if he’d left her any messages. He hadn’t, but that didn’t bother her. He usually sent her a good morning text if he got up first, but after the night they had, she wouldn’t blame him for sleeping a little longer.

She sent a text to him.

R: Good morning sexy. X

Raven got out of bed and went to their bathroom to shower, whilst she waited for his reply. After drying and getting dressed, she checked her phone.

Nothing.

She checked the time, and saw that he would normally already be up and ready.

Ava’s phone rang.

“Hi baby,” she purred into the phone. “How are you?” There was a silence as Donnie spoke on the other end. “We’re just getting ready now. Are you going to be down for breakfast soon?”

Raven checked her phone again, but there was still no answer. She called Beck’s number, but it rang out; eventually going to voicemail.

“No,” Ava said. “We haven’t heard from him yet.
 
I think Raven’s calling him now.” She turned to Raven.

Raven saw the look in her eyes. Donnie had asked about Beck.

She called again, and still no answer. She put her phone down, thinking it could be possible he was in the shower.

Ava ended the call, and looked a little worried. “Ray, Donnie said he knocked at Beck’s but he didn’t answer the door. He’s not picking up his calls either.”

Raven tried calling again. Still no answer, so she left a message.

“Hi baby, is everything ok? Will you call me as soon as you get this message?”

She didn’t want to sound like the overbearing girlfriend, but she was growing concerned that he hadn’t answered Donnie’s knock either.

Instead of waiting around for him to contact her, Raven decided to go to the main hall for breakfast, in case he’d decided to meet them there. It could get pretty loud and it was possible he couldn’t hear his phone ring.

Raven and Ava looked around the hall whilst Donnie went to talk to his other friends.

“What’s going on?” Leila asked when she and Kerry showed up.

“Have you seen Beck this morning?” Raven asked, not answering their question.

“No, why?”

“He’s not returning our calls and Donnie knocked at his dorm, but he never answered.”

“He could be in the library,” Kerry suggested. “Didn’t you say you were going to study today?”

“Yes! Thank you,” Raven said, rushing past the girls. She didn’t know why she was panicking so much. Beck would’ve put his phone on silent in the library and was probably waiting for her with muffins like the last time they went there the previous week.

Raven hurried out and crossed the campus to the library. She found her way through the aisles to the economics section where they studied.

It was empty.

Raven’s stomach rolled.

“Ay, he’s not here,” she said into her phone when Ava picked up the call.

“Nobody else has seen him either, Ray,” she replied. “I’ll tell you what, he’s probably slept in and not heard anything. After what you told me, I could understand.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” Raven said, but something in the back of her mind told her that wasn’t the case. “I’ll go check.”

“We’ll be right there too.”

Raven hung up the call and made her way to Beck’s dorm, meeting Ava and Donnie at the entrance.

“Beck!” Raven called as she knocked on the door. “Beck it’s me, are you ok?” She put her ear to the door to listen for any movement on the other side.

“Beck!” she called again, knocking louder. “I’m calling again,” she said, her heart thudding in her chest.

Putting the phone to her ear, she heard the ringing when it connected…then the ring tone on the other side of the door. His phone was in his dorm.

“His phone’s in there?” Ava asked. “Then where’s
he
?”

“I don’t know babe,” Donnie replied, shaking his head. “This isn’t like him.”

Raven banged the side of her fist against the door. “Beck!” she yelled, as tears formed in her eyes. In the month that they’d been together, Beck had never once missed her call, or not replied to a text. He’d always told her where he was, even though she never asked. She trusted him.

“This is stupid,” said Donnie. “Beck wouldn’t go out and not say anything. Especially leaving his phone behind too.” He paced up and down a few times before stopping in front of the door.
 

“What if he’s had an accident and he’s hurt in there?” Raven asked frantically. “What if he’s unconscious?”

“Shit, we need to open that door now,” said Donnie, taking a step back. “Move back.”

Lifting his leg high, Donnie slammed his foot into the door next to the handle. Small fragments of wood burst from the frame as the door flew open.

Raven ran inside, and stopped suddenly at what she saw.

The room was empty.

She bent to pick up his phone off the floor next to his closet.

Ava and Donnie rushed in behind her and stilled too.

“Where the fuck
is
everything?” Donnie asked in disbelief.

The room was bare as if nobody had even been in it. The bed was bare, and the desk was empty. The books had gone from the shelves too.

Raven opened the closet door further, and looked inside.

All of Beck’s things had gone except for a small box.

On unsteady legs, Raven walked to the bed and sat down. She lifted the lid off the box, and her hand flew over her mouth as the unshed tears escaped and streamed down her face.

Inside the box was a photograph of her on their first day in Freshman year after he’d approached her, and her slippers that had gone missing from the party.

Beck had taken them.
 

Her hands shook as she lifted his phone and pressed the home button. His wallpaper was a picture of them together in class, smiling, with his arm around her.

Checking his calls list, she saw that he’d called his dad at around two in the morning, twenty minutes after she’d left him.

She looked at his text messages.

The only texts he had were from her or Donnie. There was nothing else to suggest where, or why, he’d gone.

“Any clues as to where he is?” Ava asked, sitting next to her.

“He’s gone.” Raven said, her voice barely audible. Her stomach rolled, and her heart burned in her chest.

“What? Gone where?”

“Why would he do that?” Donnie asked whomever he was talking to on the phone. “It doesn’t make sense.”

“What is it?” Ava asked when Donnie ended his call.

“That was the Dean,” he said, looking at his phone in disbelief. “Beck’s dad sent a car to pick him up in the early hours. He left.”

“He’s left me,” Raven cried. The hot tears rolling down her face.

Ava wrapped her arms around her. “I doubt that, Ray. He’s crazy about you.”

“Yeah,” Donnie agreed. “I’ve never seen him as crazy happy as he is with you, and there’s no way he would’ve left you.”

“Don’t you see?” Raven said, trying to catch her breath. “Look around; everything’s gone!”

“But he’s mad about you,” Ava assured her.

“Then where the fuck
is
he?” Raven shouted, sobbing louder into Ava’s shoulder as she held on to the box Beck had left behind.
