Rapture and Lace(23)

I rode up and down on him quickly, my hands on either of his thighs steadying myself and providing leverage. From this angle he was hitting me deliciously deep and I knew it wouldn’t be long at all, which was good because with every passing moment I could see us getting closer and closer to the main lodge.

"I’m getting close, Eva. You feel so fucking good this way." He held my hips tightly as he lifted me off of him to gain more momentum with each thrust. A garbled groan escaped my throat when I slammed back onto his lap with force. He pumped into me harder and one of his fingers grasped my aching bud and massaged it in tight circles. My orgasm was building deep in my belly and with one more thrust Carter had me falling over the edge in pleasure. Arousal pulsed through my body and flooded the apex of my thighs. The sensation was so intense, unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I wondered if Carter could feel it, but my brain was lost to sensations coursing through me as Carter continued to slam into me.

"Fuck, Eva. You're amazing," he ground through clenched teeth.

I moaned his name repeatedly. A satisfying gasp escaped Carter's throat while he pumped frantically behind me, as he pinched my nipple and then reached his own release. His hips jerked into me and I rode him a few more strokes before his head collapsed on my back, his breathing heavy. My eyes glanced up at the closely approaching lodge and I bit my lip.

"Carter, we're almost there," I whispered frantically. He heaved a few more breaths and then slowly pulled out of me. I heard him zip up his pants quickly as I pulled my pants up and buttoned them with nearly numb fingers. Carter stood up beside me and held my hand as we waited for the gondola to jostle to a stop.

"You're lucky it's so quiet on the mountain this morning, Mr. Morgan." I whispered as I placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Not luck, babe. Careful planning." He nuzzled into my hair.

"Planning?"

"Everyone's got a price." He gave me a casual grin. "The resort isn't open so early in the morning this time of year. I made a few calls, arranged for the operator to be here early." He winked at me.

"You are shameless." I giggled at him.

"But it was worth it right? Riding me in the gondola? That was hot, baby. And then when you came all over me...fuck. You made me come," he whispered in my ear just as the gondola jostled to a stop. My cheeks flamed with embarrassment at Carter's words.

The operator gave us a smile as he opened the door and we stepped out. I prayed that he didn't suspect what we'd been up to.

"So worth it." I slid my hand into the back pocket of Carter's jeans and gave his bottom a playful squeeze. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into him, placing a kiss on my head with a wide grin.

We drove back down the twisting driveway of the resort and pulled out onto the main road to town. My hand rested on his thigh as we drove, tracing the ridges of the denim delicately in small circles. His eyes brightened and he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye with a small smile.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" His eyes were on the road as we approached the town.

"Sure, something light. I don't think my stomach can handle too much after that ride up and down the mountain." My cheeks warmed at the double entendre of my statement. He smirked at me when he caught my embarrassment and I smacked him playfully on the chest.

Carter parked outside a coffee shop that we'd frequented the past few days that featured pastries and the most delicious coffee in town. We got out of the car and Carter held my hand as we entered the shop. We snagged a table by the window with a view of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Carter walked up to the counter and placed our order and I dug through my purse to find my pills. I jiggled them into my palm and waited for Carter to return with drinks.

He sat down in the seat opposite me and set water on the table and then quirked an eyebrow when he saw the pills in my hand.

"I thought you were just on birth control? What's the other pill?" he asked.

"For migraines. I’ve been getting them more frequently the past few weeks; turns out I was under massive amounts of stress." I smirked at him, a reminder of the ups and downs we'd gone through the past few weeks back home.

Carter's eyes softened and a look of hurt crossed their blue depths.

"You were getting migraines?"

"Yes. I get them off an on, but they were getting pretty regular for a while." I gave him a small smile as I took the pills and chased them with the water.

"Have you had any lately?" he whispered.

"The last week? No. Not since Friday." My mind drifted back to the night he proposed at the foot of my bed. A sad look still hung on his face so I reached across the table to hold his hand.
