Playing the Field (Hot-Lanta Series)

  As he turned off his bathroom light and walked into his bedroom he stopped dead in his tracks. Lying in his bed, wearing his shorts and a very thin and very tight tank top with no bra was Patty. He didn’t know what do to. Did he climb into bed with her? He was just about to say something when she spoke up.

  “Can I stay here? The guest room was so big and it was weird being in there alone.” She said in a sleepy tone.

  “Uh, yea of course. I uh will go put on some shorts and a shirt.”

  “Don’t bother. She yawned. “I know you won’t get frisky.”

  Marc didn’t trust himself but he was not about to tell her that so he got into bed making sure to keep quite a distance away from her. He had a California king so it should be an easy task right?

  He plugged his phone into its charger and set his alarm for Patty, then laid his head on his pillow and faced the darkness of the night. He knew with Patty next to him he would be getting absolutely no sleep.

  He tried closing his eyes when he felt Patty shift closer.

  “Marc?”

  “Yea?” he asked trying not to sound desperate.

  “Is it ok if we cuddle? Just for tonight?”

  Marc could feel himself start to get hard. How could he cuddle with her and act like being near her was not turning him on. He decided to pull the contract card.

  “Patty, I think that goes against the contract.”

  “Fuck the contract, please Marc.”

  Fuck, how could her turn her down.

  “Alright, but listen I uh, have to tell you that seeing you in that tank top without a bra on has gotten me a little excited so you have to give me a second before I spoon you, ok?”

  “I don’t care.” Then she grabbed him and pulled him around her. She fit perfectly into his body. His erection pressed against her back and she wiggled herself even closer not helping with his sudden excitement. He nestled his head next to hers and breathed in her scent.

  “You smell good.” She murmured.

  “I was just thinking the same thing.” He said.

  She gave him a little push with her butt and said, “Mm, that feels good.”

  Marc gulped. This was not fair at all but just be cool. If things were going to happen it was going to be because of her not him.

  He felt her breathing slow down and could tell she was drifting off to sleep. He was so comfortable he was drifting off as well, and then he heard her mumble something.

  “What Patty Cakes?” Marc asked.

  She shifted a little allowing his hand to slide across the top of her breast causing him to rub his thumb across her nipple. He could not help himself, it was just one touch that was all, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of her breast out of his mind. It was so soft and perky.

  Damn, he was losing his mind. She shifted again and said, “I wish I could love you Marc. I want to…” she stopped for a second then muttered something he didn’t understand. He thought she was done when she added, “In my dreams, we are together and no one gets hurt.”

  Marc exhaled. Damn. Did she really think he was going to hurt her? Well given her past he could see why but he thought he had shown her how good of a guy he really was.

  He didn’t want to lose her so how did he bridge the gap between friends and lovers? He had all night to think about it because Lord knows he won’t be getting any sleep tonight, not after he felt Patty’s breast.

  Connor was shocked when he found a guy on top of him arm cocked back and ready to punch his lights out. Lucy stepped in and grabbed the guy who was on top of him. Did Lucy have a boyfriend or husband and she lied to him? He sure as hell hoped not. He was not one to go around taking out attached women to dinner and practically mauling them in their apartment hallways.

  Lucy kept shouting at the guy who according to Lucy, was Austin.

  Wait a minute, Connor looked at the guy and realized it was Austin Lee from the Braves who was trying to attack him. What the hell was going on? Luckily, he was able to squeeze away from him and get back on his feet.

  Connor was an athletic guy and had a nice body but Austin was paid to work out and Connor knew if it came down to it, Austin would most likely beat him in a fight.

  Lucy pushed Austin away, surprising Connor. She was a gutsy little thing.

  “What the hell are you going here Austin?” She screamed.

  “What am I doing here? How about what is he doing here?” Austin said pointing at Connor.

  Damn, she was in a relationship. Why else would he ask why Connor was in her apartment and nearly punch his mouth off his face?

  “That’s none of your business and you don’t belong here. Don’t you remember you’re the one who walked out on me and chose Molly?”

  Molly? As in Luke’s Molly? Things kept getting weirder and weirder.

  So his parents were right. They thought Molly was seeing someone but every time they asked she said no. Why would she hide the fact that she was seeing someone? His parents would actually be happy for her. They worried that she was drowning her sorrows and wasting her life away. At least she was getting out and seeing people. They would be happy about that.

  “Why don’t you go and tell everyone about me and Molly.” Austin shouted.

  “Why not, you already told everyone about what happened between us. I got pity text from Brady and Jane, thanks asshole. Why did you even come here? Molly not giving it up so you thought you could come here and screw me all over again?”

  “Fuck you, Lucy.” Austin started to storm off then spun around and said, “You know I thought you were actually kind and caring and would understand where I was coming from. Maybe you would understand why I chose Molly, I don’t want to lose you as a friend. Our friendship means more to me than anything.”

  “Too late for that Austin, the minute you kissed me, you lost all rights of being my friend. You used me and I want nothing to do with you. Good luck with Molly I hope you guys are happy together.”

  Connor watched Lucy rip some keys out of Austin’s hand and took a key off of his key ring.

  “You don’t need this anymore. Now get out Austin. Have a good life.”

  She turned and walked away. Austin looked at Connor shaking his head. Then shouted to Lucy, “You know Lucy, no matter how much you think Molly might be using me, you’re wrong and you’re going to regret this one day.”

  Lucy spun around and charged after him getting inches within his face.

  “No Austin, you’re the one who fucked up and you’re the one who’s going to regret this one day when Molly gets bored with your dick.”

  Connor just stood there feeling completely awkward. He was having such a good night and then this asshole had to come along and destroy it.

  Austin charged past Connor and slammed the door shut on his way out. Lucy locked the door and started crying. She mumbled an apology and ran off to what he assumed was her bedroom.

  Connor stood in the entryway of her apartment for a second trying to figure out what to do. He could just slip out go home and drink a beer or he could be a nice guy and go console the girl he had an amazing night with. He un-tucked is shirt and headed toward Lucy.

  ***

  Lucy was lying in her bed with her head in her pillow crying when she felt warm hands gather her up and hold her. Connor was still here? She thought he left. She wouldn’t have blamed him if he left but he didn’t, he stayed with her. He was here holding her, comforting her. He rubbed her hair and soothed her.

  She calmed down and looked up at him. “Why are you still here?” She asked trying not to sound rude.

  He shrugged.

  “I don’t know I had a fantastic time with you tonight and felt like we made a connection and I didn’t like seeing you sad. Do you want me to leave?”

  “No!” she said a little too quickly. “Thank you for staying. I’m so sorry you had to be a part of that. I’m so embarrassed.”

  “Don’t be, he was in the wrong but I have to know Lucy if you are st
ill involved or have feelings for him. I would like to know now because I don’t want to get too involved with you and find out you would rather be with him. I’m not too keen on getting my heart broken.”

  He actually thought she might break his heart. She wasn’t breaking hearts these days; she was only getting her heart broken.

  She couldn’t believe Austin showed up and actually thought she would want to be friends with him especially after the way he treated her. He had no intentions of being with her after that disastrous day especially once she heard Molly’s voice again.

  She didn’t even know what to do with herself but what she did know was she was in the arms of a man who genuinely cared about her and wanted to take care of her.

  She thought about his questions and said, “I can honestly say I don’t have any feelings for Austin. He took advantage of me and ruined our friendship. I’m done with him.”

  “That’s good news for me.” He said jokingly. “Now let’s get you cleaned up and tucked into bed.”

  He grabbed her hand and led her to her bathroom.

  “Do you have any wash clothes?”

  She was too lazy to go to her linen closet so she grabbed the one off of the towel ring in her bathroom and handed it to him. He ran it under warm water and wiped her face for her. He was one of the sweetest guys she had ever met. The fact that he would deal with almost being punched in the face and then stay long enough to take care of her was amazing.

  She brushed her teeth and then turned off the bathroom light, leading Connor back to her bedroom.

  “Would you like to change?” He asked.

  She shook her head and pulled the zipper of her dress down slowly letting the garment fall off her body. She turned around and kicked the dress toward her hamper. She looked at Connor who was slowly taking her entire body in. She watched how his chest was breathing heavily and the lust in his eyes flared. She walked toward him and started to unbutton his shirt.

  He grabbed her hands and said, “I don’t know if this is a good idea. I mean, clearly I want to do this, my God I want to do this so bad but you’re upset and I don’t want you to regret anything in the morning.”

  “Believe me, I won’t regret this.” She started to unbutton his shirt some more and once again he stopped her.

  “Seriously Lucy, I want to make sure you’re ok.”

  She looked at him dead in the eyes and said, “I promise you Connor, I’m ok. We had a minor hiccup but I want this so bad. Please don’t leave me here to myself horny and needy.” She stroked his bare chest with her finger.

  “Horny?”

  “Very horny.” She reached behind her back and undid her bra. She let it slide off her body. She took Connor’s hands and placed them on her waist as she pressed up against him reaching for his head to lower toward hers. “Fuck me, Connor.”

  Connor was slowly rubbing her bare back struggling with what his next move was going to be. She knew he wanted to be a gentleman but she so didn’t want him to be one, so she lowered her hand down his chest and cupped him, gently rubbing him with her thumb.

  “Um, I don’t think I can be the gentleman here Lucy. I’m slowly losing the will to be a good guy.”

  She unbuckled his pants and slid her hand in, feeling his very hard erection. She whispered in between kisses. “Good, because I don’t want you to be one.”

  That got him going. He finished taking his pants and socks off as she ripped his shirt off. Buttons went flying everywhere and she found herself being picked up and tossed on her bed. He was right on top of her in two seconds stretching out with her body.

  One of his hands went straight to her breasts and started massaging the round globe making her want to scream with delight while the other hand went to the thin fabric of her underwear. He fiddled with the lacey garment, touching her skin occasionally and running his fingers along her cleft, teasing her.

  “Mm, you really do have a weakness for thongs.”

  “Love, you have no fucking idea.”

  He continued to run his hand along her panty line lightly touching her sensitive area which quickly made her wet for him. His teasing fingers on her breasts combined with the sensation of him being so close to her moist center sent her senses into overload. She needed him to touch her, be inside her, and feel her.

  “Connor I need you inside me, please I can’t take the teasing anymore.”

  “Oh you thought that was teasing?” he said jokingly. “You haven’t seen nothing yet, gorgeous.”

  As he said that he grabbed a hold of her thong and ripped it off her body and mumbled something about replacing it later on. She could care less about her thong, she just needed him.

  He explored her pussy with his fingers, just lightly touching her, caressing her and driving her absolutely insane. She groaned in frustration and tried to thrust her hips toward his fingers but she couldn’t maneuver her way to the soft spot that so desperately needed his magical touch.

  He just laughed at her then slowly, oh so slowly reached her moist center where he spread her legs and started to rub her with his fingers. She was so wet for him he had no problem sliding in and out.

  “Oh my God.” Lucy practically screamed.

  She had never felt anything like Connor, even when Austin touched her it wasn’t like this. He didn’t do the preparation work like Connor did. Connor got her so worked up beforehand that every touch he made brought her closer and closer to the edge.

  He kissed her neck while he worked his way to her breasts where all of a sudden an eruption of pleasure exploded through her body. She had no clue what hit her, all she knew was her limbs went completely numb, her heart felt like it stopped beating and pure pleasure shot through her lower half. Her body shook convulsively and pleasure pumped through her core. Never in her life had she felt pleasure so far inside of her. She pulsed from the inside out.

  “Lucy, I don’t think I can watch you anymore. Do you have any condoms? Please tell me you have some.”

  She did. “In the top drawer of my night stand.” She said in between heavy breaths. She heard Connor reach for them and tear open the wrapper. She watched him sheath his bulging erection and she realized that she was about to take him in her and she hoped that he wasn’t too big for her. She got nervous all of a sudden and he noticed.

  He lowered his head toward her and gently kissed her mouth. “If I hurt you, please tell me. Ok?”

  She just nodded her head, her legs were spread and she felt him teasing her hole with his penis which made her even more turned on. She could take him, she knew she could, she just needed to relax.

  He put his hands back in their seductive positions, one taking over her breasts and one rubbing the inner part of her hip bone which apparently was her new favorite erogenous zone because she instantly was ready once again to be taken over the edge.

  He started to work his way inside of her inch by inch. It seemed like a tight fit but she just relaxed her body as he worked his magic. Slowly she felt him enter her and touch every last one of her nerve endings.

  “Fuck, I’m not going to last long.” He said.

  “Neither am I.” She gritted out.

  He pushed in one last inch and was fully in her. He stayed like that for a second not moving just feeling himself inside of her. They were both breathing heavily and looking at each other with content lacing their eyes.

  “Please, Connor.”

  “I will love, but do me a favor and keep looking at me. You have the most beautiful eyes and I want to see them when I make you come.”

  She nodded her head and put her hands on his ass making him thrust toward her. He laughed and started his rocking his hips in and out of her.

  They both moaned at the first feel of him rubbing against her soft core. She was already so close to the edge, she wasn’t going to make a couple more thrusts. She felt herself starting to contract around him and she couldn’t do anything about it. She let herself go and felt Connor tense up above her.

  She wa
tched as his jaw tense and he grunted feeling the release of pleasure take over his body. They both shook together with rolling desire and collapsed at the same time trying to catch their breath.

  Connor pulled her in for a kiss while he was still inside her. He lovingly kissed her mouth with all the lust he started with and placed a gentle kiss on her nose. He pulled out and removed his condom tossing it in the trashcan next to her bed. She had never felt so good in her life. Even when she finally slept with Austin who she thought was her dream man. Boy was she wrong and more than thankful she met Connor.

  He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into spoon. He kissed her ear and said, “Would you mind if I spent the night? I’ll have to wake up early to get home and get ready for work but I couldn’t imagine not spending the whole night holding you. Is that alright?”

  Lucy’s heart melted. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

  Connor pulled the covers over the both of them and nestled her into the curves of his body. This guy was too good to be true.

  He kissed her on the head and said, “Good night sweet Lucy.”

  Chapter 7

  Patty woke up feeling amazing. She had not had such a good night’s sleep in a while. What time was it? She looked around and realized she was not at home, where was she? She felt a man stir next to her and then remembered she was at Marc’s, in his bed.

  What the hell was she thinking? They were supposed to just be friends. Nothing happened she knew that but still, this was crossing the line of being friends.

  Patty nearly jumped out of her skin when Marc’s phone started making an atrocious noise. Marc popped out of bed looking around and then realized it was his phone.
