Promises Forgotten
Chapter 27

“So, have I passed your other qualifications?”

We were walking back to the strip after spending some time at the park. The strip was crowded and I kept a hand on her waist as we walked.

“One. Yes.”

I chuckled. “How many f*****g qualifications are there?”

“Five, actually. Need to have four out of the five to even be considered.” She laughed as she walked, moving us through the crowd seamlessly.

“What are the five? You said looks, which I passed with flying colors.”

Stopping and moving back toward the wall, she raised an eyebrow. “Flying colors? Aren’t we a little full of ourselves.”

“What? If there’s one thing I’m confident in…”

“Features given to you by your mom and dad that you literally did nothing to control. Geez, have a little more self-worth, why don’t you.”

My mouth fell open. Her mouth quirked up and she started to laugh. She pressed her back against the wall and shook her head.

“You pretty boys all think you’re the f*****g tits and it makes me laugh.”

“You think I’m pretty?” I smiled and she laughed again.

Taking a deep breath, she rolled her eyes. “Looks, pass. Personality, fail. For sure. Hard fail.”

This time I shook my head. “Alright. Dancing, pass though. What about that last one?”

“Flexibility. I’ll call that a pass. You did after all, enjoy yourself.”

“So, looks, personality, dancing, flexibility. That’s four. What’s the last one?”

She looked up at me, that mischievous glint in her eyes. “S****l tension.”

For a moment, the words didn’t register in my head. When they did though, I stepped forward toward her, forcing her to press her back against the building. Putting my arm on the wall just above her head, I looked down at her. My other hand was pressed against the wall next to her arm, caging her in. I was inches away from her face, our noses almost touching. I could smell the light scent of the glitter spray she used on her shoulders. Her chest rose and fell, brushing up against me every time she inhaled.

Her hand came up and slightly brushed my face before her fingers combed through my hair, bushing it back. Not able to take it any longer, I crushed my lips against hers and I felt her hands weave into my hair. Normally, I hated girls touching my hair or my face. But with her, I didn’t care. It didn’t matter now that her lips were on mine. The softness I had been craving for hours to k**s. I bit down on her plump bottom l*p, and she gasped enough to allow my tongue access to explore. The strawberry and vodka drink made her taste sweeter.

I moved my hand off the wall and wrapped it around her back, pulling her against me. My need for her to be closer, need for her to be as close as possible was overwhelming. I struggled to control myself. My entire being wanted this woman and I would have her any way I could.

“Z…” She m****d my name and I f*****g lost it.

Lifting her a*s up, her back pressed against the building, I let her legs wrap around me. Feeling her dress ride up, I placed my hand behind her head, so she wasn’t hitting the hard concrete. I also used it to hold her to me.

“Z…we can’t…outside…”

Growling, I slowly removed my lips from hers and placed my forehead against hers. Struggling, I was grasping at the strings of my control. This woman was tearing me to pieces. I was about ready to get on my knees and beg. Never in my life had Zachary Anderson thought of going on his knees for a woman and begging, but I would for her. Again and again.

“My room is in this hotel.”

Her voice was low and I nodded. “Give me a second. I need just…a moment…”

I took a couple deep breaths and felt her chuckle beneath me. I growled again. “Woman, you aren’t helping.”

“Alright.” Her hushed tone sent shivers down my spine, and I forced myself up as her legs left my sides.

“I can’t…” My eyes were still closed, and I felt her hand snake into mine, her fingers lacing between my own.

“Come.”

Our eyes met and she pulled me away from the wall and into the hotel. She turned and walked backward, looking at me as I followed her. My eyes took in her body and her hiked up dress gave me a perfect view of her thighs as she walked. She was far more toned than initial impressions. Not ripped, but she definitely worked out. Her eyes were also assessing me, but I didn’t feel like she was eye f*****g me. More like she was assessing how much time she has before I exploded.

We stopped at a door, and she dipped the key card, the door clicking unlocked. It swung open and the moment we stepped in, I didn’t give her time to even close the door. I slammed it shut as I pushed her against it, my lips met hers again. My fingers came up and took out her hair from the ponytail it was in. It fell in waves and spilled over her shoulders. I hummed.

“Damn, you’re f*****g gorgeous.”

I was rewarded by a blush that crept across her face, and I smiled. I needed more of her. I needed all of her. My hands grabbed her h**s and I pulled her with me toward the bed. Her fingers came up and nimbly unbuttoned my shirt in seconds, letting it fall to the floor. She turned around and I let my fingers brush over her sides before she moved her hair, so I had access to the zipper on her dress.

Taking the zipper, I slowly pulled it down, watching the fabric fold away and reveal the perfection that was underneath. There was no bra and I realized there must be one built into the dress, because I would have noticed. She was not overly stacked by any means, but she also wasn’t small. Once the zipper was all the way down, I brushed my fingers up the exposed skin and then under the dress, pulling it off her shoulders. It fell and I took in her back. She was wearing black lace underwear, but that was the only thing that obstructed the entire view of her back.

Before she could turn around, I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her toward me. Kissing her shoulder, her neck and right under her ear, I felt every shiver that I enticed out of her. It set me alight and I wanted more. My hands roamed freely without any obstruction. They reached up and cupped her breasts.

“Mmm…f*****g perfect. All of you.”

She turned around, my hands now holding her shoulder blades. Her eyes weren’t looking at mine, though. Evie was unbuttoning my pants and bringing down the zipper. As her fingers brush against my skin, it sent a wave of goosebumps through me, but the pants fell to the ground. Our shoes had already been kicked off some time ago.

Her hands didn’t leave my body as she explored my now exposed chest and finally, she gave me a little shove, making me fall back on the bed. She stepped up to the side of the bed and looked down at me.

“I want you.” The words left my mouth before I could even register that I was saying them.

Her eyebrow rose and the f*****g smirk came back, her eyes bright even in the dark room.

“Evie, I need you.” It was the first time I heard myself beg. The first time a woman has ever taken me down a notch. I wasn’t lying. I needed her.

“As you wish.”

My eyes rolled to the back of my head as she climbed on top of me. My hands grasped her h**s and my lips found hers. I gave her a minute before I flipped her under me. Biting her l*p, I dragged it down before letting it go. Pressing k****s down her body, I took extra care in kissing, nipping, and licking her breasts. Her nipples were already erect just from the slight stimulation of earlier. My hands held her sides, right at her ribs, my thumbs pressed into her breasts as I continued to trail k****s down her front. I reached the lace top of her underwear and I kissed along the top of it.

“Z…please…”

“What? What do you want?” I smiled against her skin.

She m****d as I pressed my thumb over her clit and brushed it ever so slightly. Her body moved and her back arched, but my hand was holding her waist to keep her in place.

“Quit f*****g being a tease.”

I chuckled as I brushed my lips against her clit, eliciting a gasp from her. F*****g music to my ears and I wanted to play her all night. “I hope you’re not attached to this underwear.”

“I…what…?”

Before she could finish, I looped my finger around them and pulled. The seam tore and I tossed the offending barrier away. I’m used to having models or women who have the time or money, or know they are looking for a good time, that wax completely. Evie wasn’t one of those. She was groomed to perfection, though, and I loved it. Blowing softly on her clit, she writhed under my grip. Finally, I allowed myself a taste of her juices that already coated her lips. A single taste and I m****d, diving my tongue into her entrance for more.

“Oh god…Z…” Her m***s turned to cries and I reveled in it.

“I need you, Evie. I f*****g need you like I need air.” I breathed against her p***y.

She growled and it made me laugh. “Then f*****g do something about it you a*****e.”

“As you wish, my queen.”

Throwing her head back, she laughed as I kissed my way back up her body. “I am no queen. There will never be anyone like me. A queen can’t make a king beg.”

I smiled against her, licking the hollow of her neck and nipping at her collar bones. “Then you are my goddess and tonight I shall worship your body.”

Not another word came out because I took her lips in mine and dove my tongue into hers. Our tongues melding together, tasting each other. I brought myself to her entrance, the tip of my d**k getting coated in her juices. Pushing in ever so slightly, I pulled back out and then back in, feeling her take in my head made me m**n.

“Evie.”

“For f***s sake.”

Her lips crashed onto mine, harder, passionately and her hands clutched my hair. She widened her legs more and I slammed into her fully. A scream tore from her throat but I muffled it with my mouth. I gave her a minute to adjust. She was so tight I felt like she was already trying to squeeze me to death. Once I sensed her relax slightly under me, I started to rock back and forth. Our m***s mixed together and I f*****g couldn’t hold them back. She felt different than any other woman I’ve been with. Everything about her set me on fire.

“Shit…Evie…”

“I know Z…I f*****g feel it too…”

My eyes met hers for a moment and I pressed my forehead against hers. I picked up the pace and we both gasped for air. I continued, faster and harder. Feeling her start to reach her peak, I was right there with her. My name fell from her lips as she cried out, her o****m rippling through her and squeezing my d**k inside her. Immediately, I climaxed as well. My arms barely holding me up as my head fell next to hers, our breathing loud and heavy.

“Holy shit…”

I chuckled. “Don’t think for a moment I am done with you yet, my goddess. I’m nowhere near done with you.”
