“Hey, Vida.” The woman came forward to lean against the counter. “I want a new tattoo.”
“All right. Where do you want the tattoo?” Vida questioned.
Krystal gave her a smile and a wink. “On the upper check of my butt.”
Vida stared down at the appointment book, knowing who was up for the next walk-in, knowing she would be unable to slide it past either Colton or Tessa without each aware of what she was doing. She was stuck.
“Have a seat. Colton will be with you in about twenty minutes.”
“Thanks, Vida.”
Vida watched out of the corner of her eye as Krystal reapplied her lipstick and then crossed her legs, which were exposed to perfection by her little blue jean skirt. Vida felt dowdy in her blue jeans and t-shirt. She hadn’t had time to do laundry and had grabbed one out of Colton’s drawers. It hung from her body.
Vida unconsciously began chewing on the pencil she used to schedule appointments instead of paying attention to the attractive woman waiting for Colton to appear.
Colton walked into the room, talking to his client about the aftercare of his new tattoo. Then, after the customer left, he walked behind the counter, looking at his next appointment. He gave her a mischievous grin when he looked across the room and Krystal rose to her feet.
“Krystal?”
“Yes.” The woman breathed, attempting seduction in her response. Vida’s teeth clenched.
“What tattoo are you wanting?” Vida had to kick herself when she saw Colton’s amusement; the asshole knew she was jealous.
“I want a rose on the upper part of my butt.” She turned around, giving him an eyeful of her pert ass, her hand pointing to exactly where she wanted the tattoo placed. “Can you do that?”
“I sure can. Let’s go to my room.” Colton gave Vida a wicked grin before escorting Krystal from the room, passing Tessa and her client as they left.
Vida sat tensely, lost in thought, not even paying attention when Tessa came to stand next to her after her client departed. Vida could tell from her expression she wanted to say something sarcastic, yet she managed to restrain herself, merely giving Vida a caustic order.
“Call me when my client arrives.”
“All right.”
Vida tried to occupy herself, filling out several job applications in states Sawyer and she had dreamed of visiting after Vida graduated. Out of curiosity, Vida searched the help wanted nearby Colton’s shop. She was surprised that there were two positions for computer programmers that would be opening in the next month.
Impulsively, Vida filled out the applications online, pressing the submit button just as Colton and Krystal walked into the lobby. She was giving him a flirtatious smile as she asked if he would come over tonight and rub the lotion on her because she didn’t know how she could possible reach it.
The pencil in her hand snapped and she closed her computer. Not waiting to hear his response, Vida rose to her feet.
“I’m going to go across the street and get a cup of coffee. I’ll be back in five minutes,” Vida snapped.
“Wait a minute, Vida.” Catching her hand when she would have stormed by them, he pulled her to his side.
“Sorry, Krystal. Vida and I are busy tonight. I’m sure you’ll manage just fine.”
Krystal didn’t try to hide her disappointment, looking Vida over in her oversized clothes. “Call me if anything changes, Colton.” Leaving a furious Vida and an amused Colton, the woman left before Vida could smack her silly.
“Well, if that isn’t too sweet,” Tessa said mockingly. “You both look so cute together.”
“Tessa, don’t start.” Vida heard the warning in Colton’s voice. As usual, Tessa ignored it, walking forward with a look in her eyes that had chills of warning running down Vida’s back.
“My client just called, cancelling his appointment, so I’m done for the day,” Tessa told Colton.
“That’s fine. See you Monday.” Colton tried to shut her down, but Vida could tell the woman was out for blood.
“Thanks, it works out for me since I’m going out with Roni tonight. You remember her, don’t you, Colton?” Vida felt Colton stiffen next to her.
“You and Vida should join us. The four of us can sit around and talk about how good you are at fucking, and you can sit back and glory in how much pussy that dick you’re so proud of gets.”
“Shut up, Tessa. Leave now.” Colton made another attempt to head off the confrontation.
A cruel smile twisted her lips. “She knows you, too, Vida.”
Vida racked her memory for a face for the unfamiliar name, coming up with a blank.
“When I mentioned your name, she said she knew your mother. Asked how you were doing. Seems like your mom and her were friends, even shared the stage together a few times, from what she tells me. They liked to party together too. Colton, don’t you remember?
“Roni said that Goldie talked about Vida all the time. You even used to call Goldie to party with you when Roni had to work and she didn’t. She told me about the good times you used to have together. You really should talk to her, Vida. It would be a real eye opener. Of course, you may not mind that the man you’re fucking also fucked your mother, but it freaks me out.”
“Get out, Tessa, and don’t come back. You’re finished here, forever. If you even try to come in the door, I’ll call the cops and have you arrested. It would give you a taste of what I had for three years.”
“Colton… you don’t mean it.” Tessa’s face was suddenly as white as Vida’s.
“Get the fuck out or I will throw you out.” Colton’s face was a mask of fury that was barely held in check. Tessa realized too late that she had finally cut the final thread with Colton. He was done with her.
Vida, through her own pain and horror, could plainly see that Colton never wanted Tessa near him again. When Tessa finally ran out the door, it left both Vida and Colton staring after her.
Vida tore her hand from Colton’s grip, backing away from him. Going to the counter, she packed her computer into her backpack.
“Vida.” Colton’s soft voice drew her eyes to him. “Let me explain.”
“Just answer one question for me.”
Colton ran his fingers through his long hair and then crossed his arms across his chest. Vida could tell he was bracing himself for her question. “Go ahead.”
“Is what she said the truth?”
“Yes and no.” Anger flew through Vida’s mind. Storming into her was the hurt that he had never told her. He had listened to her talk about her mother and never mentioned he was one of the men who had briefly used her. To think that he had touched her, that she had even wanted to have sex with him last night, humiliated and sickened her.
“You sick bastard!” Vida screamed at him. Jerking up her backpack, she ran for the front door, only to find it blocked with Colton standing in her path.
“Vida, listen to me. I’ll tell you everything you want to know. Calm down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm down you... you… perv.” Angered beyond reasoning, she swung her backpack with the computer in it, hitting him before he managed to jerk it from her hands.
She turned to run for the door, but his arm around her waist prevented her from going out the door. He lifted her off the floor as she struggled, her feet kicking back towards him, trying to gain her release. Colton reached out, locking the door and turning the open sign off before walking with her struggling body back to his room.
Shutting the door behind them, he let her go and then leaned back against the door, blocking any chance of escape she had.
Shaking her hair off her face and getting her breathing under control, Vida threw him a dirty look. “Let me out, Colton.”
“Where do you plan on going?”
“I’m going to stay at King’s place until Sawyer gets back next week. Then, I’m gone.”
“You go back to King, you have to start stripping again.”
“That’s better than staying
with a pervert like you,” Vida yelled at him.
“Don’t call me that, it’s not nice and it’s not true. You know it’s not. I could have fucked you anytime in the last week instead of letting you tease me until my balls are blue.”
“How about you go fuck yourself?” Vida yelled.
“How about I fuck you instead?” he countered, becoming angry.
Vida looked around the room for something else to hit him with, however he was on her before she could find anything. He picked her up and tossed her onto the large couch against the wall, pinning her underneath his heavy weight. Vida tried to scratch at him with her nails and found both of her hands held in one of his above her head.
Vida continued to grapple against him until she wore herself out, lying limply underneath him. She turned her face to the side so she at least wouldn’t have to look at him.
“Finished?” Colton’s grim face stared down at her.
Vida didn’t acknowledge him.
“Good. Now you’re going to listen to me.” Colton relaxed against her. His jean covered cock finding the notch of her thighs.
“I met your mother when I joined the Predators; she was seeing one of the brothers. When they broke up, she had made several friends, one of them was Roni. She was twenty, Vida, younger than you are now. I was sixteen, but I became involved with Roni on and off for the next couple of years. I never touched your mother. My mouth or hands were never in the vicinity of her body. I did mess around with Roni and several of the other women at the clubhouse, but not Goldie. We were never attracted to each other; we became friends and did party together a lot. It was some pretty hardcore partying, Vida, but I never had her, not once.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you knew my mother?” Vida whispered. The anger was gone, but the hurt remained.
“Because I liked your mom and I truthfully didn’t want you asking me questions about her that I knew would hurt you if I gave you the truth.”
“She was a slut, wasn’t she?”
“No, honey, but she was constantly looking for a man. She didn’t like being alone, Vida. She wanted a man to share her life with.”
“She had me.” Vida bit her lip to keep it from trembling.
“Baby, she loved you, never doubt that, but it just wasn’t enough for her. She wasn’t like you. You’re strong, Vida. Strong enough to stand on that stage and bare your body and soul to save your friend. You put your disgust aside to assist in finding women who need help simply because you couldn’t turn your back and walk away. There’s no one else like you, Vida. Even your own mother, who was the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, can’t compare to you.”
He released her hands. Vida lowered them, circling his shoulders and then looking up into his eyes. She could tell he was telling the truth.
“I’m sorry I hit you with my computer and called you a perv,” Vida apologized.
Colton grinned down at her. “Is that all you’re sorry for?”
“Did I call you something else?” Vida tried to think of all the names she had called him out loud. He couldn’t expect her to apologize for the ones that she had in her head when she hadn’t voiced them.
“No, I’m talking about something else.”
“What?” Vida asked suspiciously.
“My blue balls.”
“Oh.” A smile teased her lips. “Why should I have to apologize for that? You didn’t tell me you were sorry for leaving me in the same shape,” Vida informed him unwisely.
“You have blue balls?”
“No. You know what I mean.” Blushing Vida buried her face in his shoulder.
“Oh, did I leave my baby hanging? Is that what you meant?”
Vida was glad he couldn’t see her face, but she nodded her head against him.
“Well, I can’t break my promise about taking good care of you, can I?”
“No,” Vida mumbled, unable to believe she was urging him on.
Colton rose up to sit on his knees between her thighs, pulling his shirt up and off. Vida stared at his chest covered in various tattoos. Her mouth went dry when she saw a couple disappear beneath the band of his jeans. His hand tugged her shirt off before unsnapping the flimsy pink bra she had on underneath.
“There are my pretty girls.” He leaned down, grazing each breast with a light kiss against their tip. Getting off the couch, he pulled his shoes and jeans off before pulling off Vida’s.
She started to protest when he pulled off her underwear, but she didn’t, knowing he would stop when she asked.
For the first time, Vida enjoyed showing her naked body, thrilled that Colton enjoyed seeing it displayed before him. His hardening cock showed how much he wanted her. When he would have lain back down on the couch with her, Vida rose to her knees. Before he could guess what her next move was, she surrounded the head of his cock with her mouth, sucking his length into her throat. This time, when Vida would have welcomed the roughness of the night before, he remained gentle, letting her have only the tip.
His finger went to her pussy, separating the cleft until his fingers swirled in the moistness that seeing him naked had provided.
“Your little pussy is nice and wet, Vida. You like having me in your mouth, don’t you?”
Vida nodded against him. It was the truth; something about taking him in her mouth, knowing he was at her mercy, made her want him. It was a strange and frightening thing to want that part of him. The thought of him wanting another woman like Krystal, Tammy or Tessa drove her on to prove to herself that she was all he would need to satisfy those desires she saw swirling in the depths of his eyes.
Vida was an innocent, however she had learnt one thing the last few weeks at King’s; you control a man’s cock, you control him.
“I don’t even want to know what you’re thinking right now. I have a feeling it’s better if I never do,” Colton said wryly.
“I was just thinking that I love the taste of you.” Colton’s eyes narrowed, not believing her for a second.
“You know what feels even better?”
“No, what?” Vida asked, trying to drive him crazy by swirling her tongue over the crest of his cock.
Colton pulled away from her to sit down on the couch, pulling her onto his lap, her knees on each side of his hips. His cock rubbed against her wet heat and Vida pressed down harder against him. The increased pressure almost sent her over the edge.
“You want me, baby?”
Vida wanted him so bad she ached. All the doubts she had disappeared and she knew exactly what she wanted. “I want you, Colton.”
Colton lifted her by her hips until the tip of his cock brushed against her entrance. Her hands gripped his shoulders, balancing on her knees as he slowly brought her down on him. She felt him pushing to get inside of her and it made her want to slam herself down on his cock, but his tight grip on her hips kept her from moving.
“Coltonnn… please… fuck… me…” Vida tried to wiggle down further on him, but he gritted his teeth.
“I’m trying not to hurt you.”
“It couldn’t feel worse than this,” Vida protested.
Ignoring her, he slid another small inch inside of her.
Vida wanted more. She leaned forward, taking his nipple in her mouth, biting down.
“Dammit, Vida.” Colton’s hips surged upward, tearing through her hymen in one hard thrust. Vida fell against his chest. “Did I hurt you?
“No,” Vida lied.
“Don’t lie to me, baby. I wanted to make this a beautiful experience for you. I meant to have you for the first time on a bed, not a couch,” he said regretfully.
“You are making it beautiful, Colton,” Vida whispered into his neck.
Colton’s fingers went to the juncture of her thighs. Finding her clit, he stroked her until Vida gradually began moving on his cock, wincing slightly when he slid even deeper.
Colton’s hands went behind his head. “Pretend you’re giving me a lap dance.”
“What?”
&nbs
p; “Think of your favorite song then pretend you’re giving me a lap dance.”
Vida thought of her favorite song then gradually began moving on top of him. Teasing him with faint brushes of her breasts against his chest. She slowly moved her hips back and forth against him, instead of up and down. The friction against her brought her passion back with a vengeance.
“Oh.” Vida stared at him with desire plain in her eyes.
Colton grinned back at her. “Feels good, doesn’t it?”
“It’s incredible.” Vida let the music in her mind lead her body into taking over.
She quit thinking, grinding down on Colton, driving his cock deep within her. She began moving faster as she increased the speed, feeling herself coming closer and closer. Every time she came down she ground herself against him, giving herself the stimulation she needed.
Colton leaned forward suddenly, his hips thrusting upwards as she came down hard on him. She clenched him, squeezing him tight as she came in a climax that had her rocking against him until he held her still, thrusting high inside of her. A series of jerks within her had her going over the edge into ecstasy again.
“Fuck,” Vida said, her head falling forward. Exhausted, she lay against him.
Colton’s body was shaking. Vida raised her head to find that he was silently laughing down at her.
“Are you laughing at me?” she asked in disbelief.
“Kind of.”
“Why?” The last thing a woman wanted to hear was the man she just had sex with laughing.
“Baby, you’re every man’s fantasy. Not only do you fuck like you can’t get enough of my dick, but you talk dirty. A man couldn’t ask for more.”
“A woman could,” Vida responded.
“I couldn’t give you more right now if someone put a gun to my head,” Colton joked, pulling her forward until he softly kissed her lips. “Thank you.”
Vida knew what he was thanking her for. “You’re welcome.”
“Feel like getting a tattoo?”
Vida thought at first he was joking, but she actually did. “Yes, I never want to forget tonight.”
“I think I know exactly the tattoo. Get dressed.” Colton helped her off his lap.
Vida tried not to look worried when she remembered they hadn’t worn a condom. “I always wore a condom with the other women, Vida. I swear I wouldn’t put your health at risk,” he said when Vida couldn’t hide her worry.
