The Ex Games Read online

  “Would you like some wine or champagne?” He grinned down at me, and he looked like a wolf as I stared up at him. A sexy, devilish and powerful wolf. I shook my head slowly and stared up at him, wondering if I should tell him this was my first time. It took me all of three seconds to shoot down the idea. I knew that he thought I was quaint and that I wasn’t used to big city ways because I was from a small town in Florida, but I knew it wouldn’t be as believable that I was a virgin. I couldn’t imagine he came across many 22-year old virgins.

  He started to unbutton his shirt and I stared up at him with desire pouring out of every part of my body. I gazed up at him in admiration as he threw his shirt onto the floor. His chest was well-built, with a small spattering of hair, and his six-pack looked like something from a fitness magazine. He fell down onto the bed next to me and I reached over and ran my fingers along his chest lightly grazing his nipples. He gasped at my touch and rolled over on top of me.

  “You’re wearing too many clothes,” he growled, his eyes dark and intense. “Sit up.” He pulled me up and I lifted my hands up so that he could pull my top off. His fingers gently went to my back and unclasped my bra before he threw it onto the floor along with my top. “Oh, Katie.” He groaned before pushing me back onto the bed. His lips immediately fell to my right breast as his fingers played with my left one. I gasped as he took my nipple in his mouth and he gently nibbled on it as he sucked. He sucked as if his life depended on it, and I felt my body trembling underneath him as moisture filled my panties. I reached my hands around to his back and ran my fingers up and down, squeezing his shoulders tightly as his lips moved away from my right breast. I moaned as his lips clasped down on my left breast and my legs reached up to encircle him.

  “Oh, Katie.” He moaned again and kissed up my chest, and neck and back to my lips. “You taste so sweet.” He muttered against my lips as his tongue found sanctuary in my mouth again. “Do you taste as sweet everywhere?”

  “Everywhere?” I’d answered him, not thinking. All I wanted to do was feel him against me, inside of me. My body had never felt so alive before.

  “Hmm, yes, everywhere.” His lips left mine as he kissed back down my body, stopping at the top of my jeans for a few moments as his hands undid the button and pulled them off of me. I lay there in just my panties gazing up at him, not sure what he was going to do next. I didn’t have to wait long to find out. His fingers traced an invisible line up my leg and only stopped once they reached my panties. I held my breath as his fingers ran right down the middle of my panties and circled me. I gasped and squirmed on the bed as he teased me.

  “Please, Brandon.” I groaned. I wanted, no I needed to feel more of him. I needed to feel him closer, his skin against mine.

  “Shh.” He smiled at me and slipped his fingers into the side of my panties and rubbed my wetness. “Oh, Katie.” He groaned as I continued squirming. “You are so wet for me.”

  “I want you.” I groaned as I reached up to him, wanting to feel his chest against mine. “Let me touch you.”

  “Not yet.” He slipped his fingers out of my panties and then pulled them down slowly and agonizingly. Every second felt like an eternity and all I wanted was to feel his warmth against me again. I cried out when he lowered his mouth to my pussy and sucked on my bud. And then I screamed when his tongue entered me, slowly and deeply, pushing me to cliffs I never knew existed. My fingers grabbed the sheets as his tongue continued to enter me, and I felt like I was going to die of pleasure. Waves of ecstasy took over my body so that all I could think about was the pleasure rolling through my body. “Come for me, Katie.” He muttered against my pussy and the feel of his breath against me was another new and exciting sensation. “Come for me.”

  “I, I can’t.” I groaned shaking my head. I had never felt this way before and I was afraid that my bladder was going to burst if he kept on. “Please.” I groaned as his hands spread my legs wider and he licked and sucked me with more intensity. This time when his tongue entered me, I couldn’t control it, and my orgasm exploded, sending ripple effects down my body.

  “Oh, Brandon.” I screamed as my body trembled under him. He continued his exploration and his tongue lapped me up eagerly, before he returned back up to kiss me.

  “You taste even sweeter down there.” He grinned at me before his mouth descended onto mine again. I could taste myself on his lips and I moaned as his fingers worked their way back down my stomach and to my sweet spot. I reached my hands down to his slacks, wanting to pull them down and touch him. He laughed as I fumbled around with his button and jumped up and pulled them off, along with his boxers.

  I stared at him in amazement. His cock looked like a warrior: thick, strong and firm. I swallowed as I imagined it inside of me. He looked bigger than I had imagined from photos I’d seen online with friends. I reached over and touched him softly, he groaned as my fingers worked their way up and down his shaft slowly. I squeezed the tip of his cock and he pushed me back down on the bed. “If you keep teasing me, Katie. I’m going to come a lot faster than I want for our first time together.”

  “I don’t mind.” I shook my head and giggled as he growled against my neck.

  “I’m going to make you forget all your other lovers. I’m going to make sure that mine is the only face you think of when you think of making love. I want your body to remember me and only me.”

  “Okay.” I gasped and closed my eyes as his fingers played with me again as his tongue tasted the lines of my neck. My hands grabbed his ass and I tried to push him towards me, so that I could feel him against me.

  “Oh, Katie. I need to enter you.” He groaned against me ear. “Tell me you’re on the pill.”

  “No.” My eyes popped up and I bit my lower lip. “I’m not, uh, on the pill.”

  “Damn.” He looked upset as he got off of the bed. “I wanted to feel all of you. I wanted to fill your skin against my skin, but it’s fine. I have some condoms.”

  “Oh.” I watched as he opened the drawer on his nightstand and pulled out a big box. “Did you get them because of me?”

  “No.” He chuckled as he pulled two out and placed one on the top of the stand. “I make sure to keep a supply.”

  “Oh.” I looked away from him, jealousy filling me.

  “You’re not upset, are you?” His eyes peered at me. “You can’t think I don’t have sex?”

  “I didn’t know you were sleeping around.”

  “I haven’t slept with anyone since I’ve met you.”

  “That was two weeks ago.”

  “I’m not a monk, Katie.” He sat on the bed. “I like sex. We’re adults, it’s not a crime.”

  “I know.” I nodded.

  “If it makes you feel better, I don’t want to sleep with anyone else.” He smiled and kissed me hard. “I know we’ve only been seeing each other for two weeks, but let’s see how it goes. I think we could have something special.”

  “Okay.” I nodded, feeling slightly happy again.

  “So we agree not to sleep with anyone else, right?”

  “Right.” I nodded again and he kissed me hard. He ripped open the condom packet and slid it onto his cock quickly, before lowering himself down onto me, allowing his chest to crush down on my breasts. “Wrap your legs around my waist.” He commanded me and I did so eagerly. I felt the tip of his cock at my entrance and I gasped, waiting for him to finally enter me. “Oh, God, you’re so wet.” He groaned as he slowly entered me. I felt myself contract against him as he entered me, and for one brief second I was scared that it was going to hurt. “Oh, Katie.” He groaned and he started moving his body slowly, his cock pushed into me hard and I cried out as I felt a brief shot of pain. He looked at me with a confused and dazed look in his eyes and I closed my eyes and moved underneath him.

  “Fuck me, Brandon.” I cried out and he continued moving and increasing his speed until he was sliding in and out of me smoothly. I held onto him tightly as our bodies danced to their own rhythm. My breas
ts bounced against his chest and his hands clasped mine as he continued making my body his.

  “Open your eyes.” His voice was commanding and I opened them slowly and saw him staring into mine. “I want to see your expression as we come together.” He continued moving against me and I felt myself about to explode when his body started shuddering and he groaned out. I climaxed then, and I held him to me tightly as our bodies quaked together and he fell down on top of me. He rolled over to the right and he gave me a lazy smile after a few minutes. “That was amazing.” His fingers traced the lines around my nipples as he slowly withdrew his cock from me and slipped the condom off. “Are you a virgin, Katie?” He looked up at me slowly, with a question in his eyes.

  “No.” I shook my head.

  “Really? I could have sworn you were a virgin, the way you reacted when I entered you, and I felt like I was breaking through your hymen.”

  “You asked if I am, but I’m not any longer.” I smiled up at him and leaned over to kiss his lips. My body was tired and satiated and there was nothing that was going to ruin this moment for me.

  “Ah, you tricky girl.” He laughed and then sighed as he pulled me towards him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

  “I didn’t want you to think I was.” I bit my lip.

  “Oh, Katie.” He whispered against my hair. “Thank you for allowing me to make love to you, I hope it was all you had hoped for.”

  “It was better than I had hoped for,” I mumbled, and his eyes lit up with pride as he lay back with me cuddled into him.

  “I’m so glad that I met you, Katie Raymond.”

  “Me too, Brandon Hastings.” I kissed his chest and we both fell asleep.

  “Excuse me, Ma’am, are you lost?” The front desk clerk walked towards the elevator and stared at me.

  “Sorry, what?”

  “It’s just that you’ve ridden up and down in the elevator for the last ten minutes.”

  “Oh, sorry.” I blushed. “The purple lights just made me remember something.”

  “Okay,” the lady gave me a strange look. “You’re on the sixth floor, if you forgot.”

  “Yeah, thanks.” I pressed the button again and shook my head. “Focus, Katie, focus.” I mumbled to myself. Now was not the time to relive my memories of Brandon Hastings. He hated me and I hated him, and I was praying that if he saw me, he wouldn’t remember who I was. It didn’t matter how great it had been when we first started dating. It didn’t matter that his touch made my whole body melt. It was over. He had broken my heart and if I wasn’t careful, he was going to ruin my business career as well.

  I walked out of the purple-lit elevator and to my room reluctantly. I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to be reminded of Brandon. Not now. Not when everything in my life was finally getting better. I had even started dating a new guy just before I had gotten the job. He was a nice guy as well. Matt was someone I could see myself with in a serious relationship. He was safe and I knew he really liked me; it didn’t matter that he didn’t set my heart on fire like Brandon had. I was older and wiser now. I knew what real love was. What Brandon and I had was a fantasy; a fantasy built on lies, and when it had all come crashing down it had nearly broken me. I wasn’t going to let myself dwell on the past. I couldn’t allow myself to go down that road again.

  The alarm went off at 5 a.m. and I wanted to roll over and go back to sleep again. “Get up, Katie.” I lectured myself as I pulled the blankets up over me. I groaned and sat up, adjusting my eyes to the darkness. I got out of bed and turned on the light and opened my suitcase. Meg and I had gone shopping before the trip, and I had gotten the sexiest business attire I could find. I had also gotten some new makeup, new perfume and a new Chi straightener so that my hair would be as sleek as possible. I wanted to make sure I looked as good as I had ever looked. I didn’t want him to recognize me, but if he did, I wanted to look as hot and sexy as possible. I grabbed my shower cap and walked to the bathroom. I needed to shower first, and then I would do my hair. I stared at my wild waves in the bathroom mirror and groaned. It was going to take an hour, at least, to get my hair anything close to straight and sleek. I stared at my appearance again and started laughing as I thought about going to work looking like this. Brandon would definitely remember me if I turned up like this.

  “Let’s shower together.” Brandon pulled me out of bed with him, the night after we had made love for the first time.

  “I’m still tired.” I mumbled.

  “There’s time to sleep tonight.”

  “Not if you wake me up a million times tonight like you did last night.”

  “Well, I need to get as much of you as I can, while you’re here.”

  “I’ll be here next weekend.” I yawned and stretched.

  “I’d love it if you stayed here this week as well.”

  “What?” I froze and looked at him with wide eyes.

  “I know, I know. I’m moving too fast. Sorry, I’ve just never felt this way before.”

  “Oh,” I jumped out of bed and kissed him. “I’ve never felt this way before either.”

  “I just want to spend every night with you.”

  “I know.” I sighed. “But I need to stay at my own place, it’s just easier for me to get to work from there.”

  “I guess I could spend a couple of nights there if you want.”

  “No.” I shouted and then stepped back. “Sorry, it’s a mess and I’d be embarrassed for you to see it.”

  “Don’t be embarrassed.” He pulled me towards him and kissed me. “I’m sure you have lots of debt from college and I’m sure your new job can’t be paying you that much. I don’t care where you live.”

  “Uh, thanks.” I buried my face into his chest, shame turning my face red. “It’s hard as a new grad, you know, especially in this economy.”

  “Where did you go to school again?” He questioned me.

  “Columbia… uh, I mean, I always wanted to go to Columbia. I went to Florida Atlantic University.” I mumbled, wanting to die.

  “I’m always looking for new account managers for the hedge fund, if you're interested in doing stocks?”

  “Oh, thanks, but I couldn’t.” I smiled weakly. ”It wouldn’t be right. We only just started dating, I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you.”

  “I know.” He kissed the top of my head. “I think that’s why I like you so much, you’re the furthest thing from a gold digger I’ve met in New York.”

  “Well, you would know.” I said, quite surly, and he laughed.

  “Don’t be jealous, Katie.”

  “I’m not.” I pouted and followed him into the bathroom. “Oh my God, look at my hair.” I cried out as I looked into the mirror and saw a crazy mess. “I look awful.”

  “No, you don’t. You look beautiful.” He walked up behind me and put his arms around my waist. “Though, I can check to see if there are any lost birds.”

  “Lost birds?” I wiggled against him as I looked back at him.

  “You know, that thought your hair was a nest.”

  “Jerk.” I laughed and he picked me up and placed me on the vanity.

  “I can be a jerk, if you want.”

  “Oh?” I pulled him towards me and felt his hardening cock against my leg.

  “Yeah, I can do this.” He placed the tip of his cock against my pussy and pushed it in slightly so that the tip was inside of me. “And I can do this.” He slowly entered me and I moaned as I felt him inside of me. “And then I can do this.” He withdrew from me and I whimpered as he left my body.

  “Brandon.” I groaned and he laughed.

  “I told you I can be a jerk.”

  I squeezed my legs around him and tried to pull him into me again and he laughed. “Not so fast, young lady.”

  “Make love to me.” I groaned, as I reached up to kiss him.

  “I don’t have a condom on me.” He shrugged and I groaned, disappointed. “You should get on the pill.
”

  “Huh?” I bit down into his shoulder, distracted by his musk.

  “You should go to the doctor and get on the pill.”

  “Oh, okay.” I murmured as I ran my fingers down his abs.

  “Do you have health insurance at your job? Do you need me to take you to my doctor?”

  “I have health insurance.” I licked down his chest as he fondled my breasts. “I’ll go in on Monday.” I would have to look online to see what time the university health center opened. I cringed as I thought about having to tell the nurse why I was there. But I figured they should be happy I was having safe sex. This wasn’t my high school any more. I wasn’t going to get a lecture about abstinence.

  “I wish you were on it now.” He whispered in my ear. “I want to take your right here and feel your pussy walls close in on my cock as I take you on a journey you've never even imagined.”

  “So why don’t you?” I gasped, willing him to enter me.

  “I don’t want to get you pregnant.” He chuckled and stared at me seriously. “I’m not really a guy that’s done relationships, and this is new to me. I don’t want to mess anything up.”

  “You won’t.” I took his face in my hands and kissed him softly. “You won’t mess anything up.” I whispered against my lips and my heart fluttered as he carried me back to the bedroom and to his bed. I had been right as well, he hadn’t messed anything up. I had.

  Fisherman’s Wharf is not full of fishermen. Or at least, it wasn’t when I arrived. I walked around for a little bit, glad that it wasn’t hot and humid. Hot and humid meant my perfectly coiffed hair would be a frizzy mess in minutes. Once it hit 8 a.m., I walked into the building that Marathon Corps’ company-wide orientation was going to be in and looked around for a welcome table. I saw it right away, and I gasped as I walked towards it. The table was decorated with white orchids and I couldn’t not think of the night I realized that I loved him. Every time I saw orchids, I thought of Brandon. Even Meg knew never to bring them into the apartment we shared. Every time I saw them, I cried. Even now, I felt teary eyed. I took a deep breath and continued towards the table. I couldn’t afford to get emotional now. Not now, not when my makeup looked so perfect. It didn’t matter that my heart was beating in my stomach and all my senses were in high alert. It didn’t matter that there were orchids there. It meant nothing, absolutely nothing.
