Carson

The bass of the music pounded through the house, but I barely noticed it. Lola's laugh cut through the noise as she leaned closer to me, her wings brushing against my arm. I smiled, nodding at whatever it was my old friends was saying, but my mind wasn't even here.

It was on her.

Eve.

I'd been keeping an eye on her from the moment she walked into the party, her black dress hugging her curves and those stupid little cat ears perched on her head.

She was breathtaking, and she didn't even know it. But now she was across the room, talking to Kade at the bar. She hadn't looked my way since she left, and I hated it. I hated that I felt like the air had shifted, like something wasn't right the second my hand left her waist.

"You're really not much for conversation right now, are you?" Lola's voice broke into my thoughts, and I blinked, dragging my attention back to her.

She was smiling, but there was a sharpness in her tone now, like she wasn't used to being ignored. I knew she wasn't, hell I'd been family friends since this girl since I was two, our mothers loved each other.

Her lips curved into a pout, and she reached out, resting her hand on my arm. "I was saying that you should let loose a little. You're always so serious, Carson. Forget about the team for a second, It's Halloween—have some fun."

I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could, a voice cut in.

"He's already having fun."

I turned, my heart stopping for a second when I saw Eve standing there, her jaw tight, her eyes blazing with something that made my pulse quicken.

She looked at Lola, her head tilted slightly, and there was an edge to her tone that I hadn't heard before.

"With me," she added, stepping closer to me. Her hand slid around my arm, her nails lightly brushing my skin causing goosebumps to erupt, she turned to me. "Isn't that right, Carson?"

For a second, I just stared at her, trying to process what was happening. Then, slowly, a grin spread across my face. She was jealous. She was claiming me, and damn it if that didn't make my chest tighten in the best way.

"Yeah," I said, my voice low as I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "I'm having fun with her."

Lola blinked, her smile faltering as she looked between the two of us. "Oh. I didn't realize that he chose you for the night."

My body stiffened at her comment, fuck that. "Don't worry honey-"Eve cut in, her voice dripping with faux sweetness.-"I intend for a lot more nights."

The tension was thick enough to cut, and for a moment, I thought Lola might actually argue. But then she scoffed, tossing her hair over her shoulder as she stepped back.

"Whatever," she muttered, her wings brushing against Eve as she turned on her heel and stalked away.

The second she was gone, I turned to Eve, half expecting her to gloat. But instead, her expression had shifted. Her bravado was gone, replaced by something fragile and uncertain.

"Eve?" I said softly, but she was already pulling away.

"I can't believe I just did that," she muttered, shaking her head as she stepped back. "What the hell is wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you," I said, reaching for her, but she backed away further, her eyes darting toward the stairs.

"I need to go," she said quickly, her voice tight.

"Eve, wait—"

But she was already moving, weaving through the crowd like she couldn't get out of there fast enough. I didn't think. I just followed, pushing past a group of guys near the keg and ignoring their drunken protests.

"Eve!" I called after her, my voice barely cutting through the bass pounding through the house. She was fast, her figure slipping through the chaos of the party like a shadow. My chest tightened as I followed her up the stairs, taking them two at a time.

She was already at the top when I caught up, her hand gripping the railing as she hesitated, glancing back at me. Her wide eyes locked onto mine, and for a second, I thought she might bolt again. But then she froze, her chest rising and falling like she couldn't catch her breath.

"Eve," I said, my voice softer now as I reached her. I stepped closer, careful not to spook her, but I wasn't about to let her run. Not again. "Talk to me."

She shook her head, her lips trembling. "I don't know why I did that," she said, her voice breaking. "I don't—Carson, I don't even know who I am right now."

"You're Eve," I said simply, reaching out to touch her arm. She flinched slightly but didn't pull away. "The girl who drives me insane in the best way. The girl who makes me want more than I ever thought I deserved."

Her breath hitched, and I could see the walls she was trying to put back up—the ones I'd been working to break down for weeks. She looked away, her nails digging into the railing.

"This was a mistake," she whispered. "I shouldn't have—"

I didn't let her finish. I stepped closer, sliding my hand to her cheek and tilting her face back to mine. "It wasn't a mistake," I said firmly, my eyes locking on hers. "Not for me. Never for me."

Her gaze searched mine, and for a moment, the vulnerability in her eyes made my heart ache. Then, before she could second-guess herself again, I leaned in and kissed her.

It wasn't soft or tentative this time. It was desperate and raw, like all the emotions we'd been holding back had finally snapped free. Her hands gripped the front of my shirt, pulling me closer, and I wrapped my arms around her, anchoring her to me like she was the only thing keeping me grounded.

When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathing hard. Her forehead rested against mine, and I could feel her trembling slightly in my arms.

"Carson," she started, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Come with me," I said, cutting her off gently. "Let's get out of here."

Her brows furrowed, but she didn't resist as I took her hand and led her down the hallway to my room.

The noise of the party faded as I closed the door behind us, locking it to keep the chaos at bay.

The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting shadows on the walls. It wasn't much—a bed, a desk, a chair—but it was quiet. It was ours, if only for the night.

Eve stood near the door, her arms wrapped around herself like she was trying to hold herself together. I stepped closer, not touching her yet, just giving her space to breathe.

"I didn't mean to embarrass you," she said suddenly, her voice small. "With Lola, and... everything."

I shook my head, closing the distance between us. "You didn't embarrass me," I said. "You have no idea how much I wanted you to do that. How much I wanted you to choose me."

Her eyes lifted to mine, and I saw the doubt there, the fear. Slowly, I reached out, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You don't have to run, Eve," I said softly. "Not from me."

Her breath caught, and for a moment, I thought she might argue. But then she stepped closer, her hands finding their way to my chest again. Her touch was hesitant, almost like she didn't trust herself.

"I'm scared," she admitted, her voice so quiet I almost didn't hear her.

"I know," I said, wrapping my arms around her. "But I'm not going anywhere. Not unless you tell me to."

She didn't say anything, just slowly started to unbutton my shirt, when she reached the last button she trailed her finger across my abs. Fuck, if that didn't feel good.

I groaned at her contact, she looked up at me with wide doe eyes. I wanted her.

My mouth covered her neck, slowly sucking and nibbling at every part of it, marking my territory.

"Oh my god, Carson." She moaned, her hands gripping my back.

"I've got a rule, you know. Have to get you off two times before I fuck you." I winked at her, easing the tension from the room.

"Oh really?" She said raising one eyebrow, fuck she was gorgeous.

Not once taking my eyes off hers, I slid my pants down. Enjoying her lustful gaze eyeing my dick, stepping backwards until I reached the bed I fell down on it. Propping myself up on the head rest.

"I'm yours, baby. Take whatever you need from me."

I didn't have much time to focus on the longing in her eyes as she quickly stripped off her clothes, I could feel my dick surge through my boxers. I didn't take my eyes off her, not until she was standing at the end of the bed only in her lace panties.

This woman would be the death of me.

With her brunette hair, messy and loose, it lay on her shoulders accentuating her beautiful features. My gaze swept down to her tits, full and heavy with perfect pink nipples, I groaned as my gaze traveled along her long smooth legs.

"Fuck Eve, you're so sexy."

"Come here." I motion to my lap, in not time she is on top of me kissing me with passion. Her core hits me cock, and she moans from the friction my body shivers in response. Hands on her waist I guide her down on me as she continues to dry hump me.

With my left hand I grab her left breast, kneading it in my hand. "I love your breasts." I breathe out, tweaking her nipple as her eyes drift closed. Her head tips back to the sky, jutting her breast into my hand. Her body is at ease, her body is at ease for me.

I release her nipple and slide my hand down her stomach, into her stretchy panties. I go straight for her core, running my finger through her soaked flesh before shoving it in. She clamps down on my digit and tries to cry out, but the sound is muffled by my palm.

"You're so wet, baby. Dripping for me." Her eyes lock onto mine and she tries to bit my palm but I don't back down, instead I swirl my fingers inside of her causing her to moan into my hand, riding me faster.

I add a second finger and plunger it in her wet heat, taking away my palm from her mouth only to palm her other breast with it.

"Oh my fucking god! Don't you dare stop!" She commands, I watch as my fingers plunge in and out of her heat. I can feel cum drip from my cock but I hold it in as best as I can, I'm not coming until she comes.

"Carson..Carson I'm going to come!" Eve moans, tugging at my hair. Her tits bounce around aimlessly as she rides out her orgasm, my fingers plunge in and out of her. I'm pretty sure this is the most gorgeous moment I've ever witnessed, her competley undone around my fingers.

"Fuck, baby. I can feel you coming around me." I say, before she smashes her lips onto mine. I fell her come drip from my fingers she lays her head onto my bare chest, our heavy breathings filling the room.

My hand strokes her hair, tugging through the knots and trying to ignore the raging hard on I have.

"I need you." She whispers, breaking the silence.

"You have me." I kiss her lips to punctuate.

"No, I need you in every way." She kneels before me, holding eye contact with me as she slowly takes her stained panties off leaving her naked on my bed. She crawls towards my hips, dragging her fingers across my cock as she undresses me fully.

She kisses me harshly, our teeth clash against each other as we ravish one another. I don't think I will ever get enough of her.

"Are you sure, baby? We don't need to, I can wait." I say, my hand coming up to stroke her back. She arches into my touch.

"Yes, I am so sure. Fuck me Carson" She whispers, I could never deny this girl so I flip us over suddenly, swallowing the gasp that comes out of Eves lips as I crash mine to hers.

"Fuck me." She moans in between kisses.

My lips drag over the shell of her ear, and she shivers. "You want me to fuck you rough and hard, angel?"

My teeth sink into the lobe of her ear as the words echo around us. When she doesn't respond, I quirk a brow at her.

She lifts her chin like she refuses to feel any shame in her request. "Yes."

Flames lash at my spine, and I will myself to take this slowly. I don't give a fuck how hard I am right now, I want to savour this woman. My hand reaches out towards the nightstand as I fumble around for a condom, after successfully putting it on I turn my attention back to her.

My hand lay grip her ass cheeks as I position myself at the entrance, the breath hissing from between her lips rings out in the room.

"Any last words?" I smirk at her.

"I'm not exactly a virgin-"

And then I thrust into her. To the hilt, holding nothing back.

"Fuck." I glance down at where I am buried inside her and take a moment to appreciate the sight of her stretched around my girth. "You feel so good" I murmur, sliding in and out slowly. "So fucking good."

"Carson, oh my god. You're so big." She moans, rocking her hips against mine. Needy for the friction.

I hover over her, pulling her hair to tilt her face. My mouth crashes against hers, tongues clashing, teeth nipping. And for a few moments, I let myself focus on taking her mouth, but she rocks upwards in a desperate plea for my cock.

So I give it to her.

My hips slap against hers, and she pushes back to meet my every motion.

"Is this what you wanted?"

"Yes." She breathes, voice hitching as she grips my shoulders.

I reach between us and play with her clit.

"Fuck,yes" Her eyes flutter shut, the sensation of her nails digging into my back nearly tip me over the edge.

I pick up the pace, and her legs falter, her body sweaty and a mess below me with every thrust.

But I don't stop. Not when she's chanting my name and squirming like she might come apart at any moment.

"You look perfect like this, Eve. Underneath me, cunt full, you look like a fucking angel."

"Carson..."

My finger works more swiftly, rubbing circles between her legs. My opposite hand grips her chin, her hair. Some tendrils have come loose and stick to the perspiration on the back of her neck.

I fuck her hard.

"Take it, Eve. Come on my cock."

"Carson!" Her voice is loud now.

She doesn't finish the sentence before she shatters. I feel it everywhere. Her body pulsing. Her head dropping. A second later I follow, I feel my come as it leaks into the condom, shoot after shoot. I kiss her temple, laying down next to her and laying a protective arm over her waist as she moves her chin to my chest. Surrendering.

Several moments pass as we catch our breath, I listen to her ragged breathing. The flutter of her lashes against my chest. The silence stretched between us, warm and heavy, the only sounds the muted thrum of the party downstairs and the soft cadence of her breaths. My fingers traced idle circles on her back, grounding me in the moment. She was still here, still with me. But then, she shifted, her body tensing ever so slightly against mine.

"I shouldn't have done this," she whispered, her voice barely audible against the quiet.

My chest tightened, and I tilted my head to look down at her. "Eve..."

She sat up suddenly, pulling the sheet around her and running a hand through her hair. "This—us—it's a bad idea. It always has been."

Her words cut, but I forced myself to stay calm, to sit up beside her. "Why?" I asked softly, keeping my voice steady. "Why is it a bad idea?"

She shook her head, avoiding my gaze. "Because I'm not... I'm not built for this, Carson. For you. You deserve someone who's whole, someone who isn't a mess."

I reach for her hand, but she pulls it away, standing up and grabbing her dress from the floor. "I should go," she said quickly, the words spilling out in a rush. "I can't—I can't stay."

"Eve," I said, my voice firm now as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. "Stop."

She froze, her back to me, her fingers clutching the fabric of her dress. Her shoulders trembled, and it hit me just how much she was fighting. Not me. Herself.

"You don't have to run," I said, standing and crossing the small distance between us. I placed my hands gently on her shoulders, giving her the chance to pull away. She didn't. "I know you're scared. I know you think this is too much, too messy. But you don't have to figure it all out tonight."

Her head bowed, her hair falling like a curtain between us. "I don't know how to do this," she admitted, her voice cracking. "I don't know how to let someone in."

"You don't have to have all the answers right now," I said softly, turning her around to face me. Her eyes were glassy, her cheeks flushed. "But you're not doing this alone. You don't have to do anything alone."

Her lips parted like she wanted to argue, but I didn't give her the chance. "Stay," I said, my hands cupping her face. "Just stay with me tonight. We don't have to figure anything out right now. We can deal with all of it tomorrow. But please, don't run."

Her eyes searched mine, and for a moment, I thought she might bolt anyway. But then, slowly, she let out a shaky breath and nodded. "Okay," she whispered.

Relief washed over me, and I guided her back to the bed. She hesitated at the edge, her fingers gripping the sheet, but when I laid down and opened my arms, she curled into me like she belonged there.

I pulled the blanket over us, wrapping her in warmth as she rested her head against my chest. My hand found its way to her hair, stroking it gently as her breathing began to even out.

"Carson?" she murmured after a while, her voice heavy with exhaustion.

"Yeah?" I replied, my lips brushing the top of her head.

"Thank you," she said softly, her fingers tangling with mine against her stomach.

I didn't respond. I didn't need to. Instead, I held her closer, blocking out the noise of the party, the world, everything but us. Tomorrow would come with its complications, its questions, its messiness. But tonight, she was here. She was mine. And that was enough.
