Betrayal (5 page)

********

I have nerves
in my stomach as we descend into the foyer that evening certain that at some
point Brad is going to appear.  I have dressed in a cream floral maxi dress and
dressed my hair up onto my head.

‘You ok? You
have been very quiet’ Courtney notes.

‘Fine’ I smile.

‘Worried about
seeing lover-boy?’ she teases ‘don’t think I am not aware you have been
avoiding him today Maddie’ she murmurs ‘he will locate you’ she smiles.

‘No’ I flush
‘we didn’t have any concrete plans’ she knows me too well. 

The doors open
and we step onto the marble floor of the hotel foyer, my eyes move directly in
front of us to find Brad leaning casually against the reception his eyes dark
as they find mine.  He pushes off and moves over to greet us.

‘Hi Brad’
Courtney smiles.

‘Courtney’ he smiles
then turns to me ‘Maddison’ 

‘Hi’ I feel
the breath knocked out of me with the intensity of his gaze on mine.

‘I thought I
may invite myself to dinner if that’s ok?’ he tests his eyebrow arching.

‘Of course,
you are more than welcome’ Courtney gushes, ‘we were going to go to the
Japanese place tonight’

‘Great!
Maddison?’ he enquires his eyes cautious ‘is that ok with you?’ he questions.

‘Sure’ I produce
a shy smile in his direction as my insides settle at the sight of him looking
so handsome in light trousers and a white linen shirt.

‘Shall we?’ he
gestures in the direction of the restaurant. 

As we walk his
hand moves to the base of my spine sending delicious frissons of pleasure
around my body.  Maybe I could indulge in a fling before I concentrate on
extending my family I rationalize in my mind as I absorb the warm feelings
flowing through me from his touch.

We are seated
around a semi-circle bar surrounding a cooking area where a Japanese chef is
stood waiting to cook our food from fresh.  Brad is seated to my right and
Courtney to my left, beside Courtney are two young, blonde American women who
are extremely friendly and already Courtney is deep into conversation with them.

Brad’s arm is leisurely
draped across the back of my stool and my body is apprehensive at his close
proximity.

‘So….’ Brad
murmurs for my ears only, ‘did you stand me up for any particular reason
Maddison?’

I turn to face
him my eyes wide, ‘I didn’t stand you up we never made firm arrangements’ I
argue.

‘You stood me
up. Why?’ he continues his eyes coolly evaluating me, ‘scared?’ he whispers.

After what
seems an age of gazing into those pools of promise I sigh, ‘look Brad, I am an
extremely fucked up individual do yourself a favor and find a more
uncomplicated bedmate’

His eyebrows
raise to the roof before he chuckles, ‘Maddison, anyone that has experienced
love is fucked up one way or another….including myself.  I got to say your
honesty is refreshing’ he shakes his head slightly a smile on his luscious
lips.

My lips twitch
in amusement at his words and I relax slightly.

‘Look, I have
two more days of work then I have a week here to relax.  Why not spend it with
me….I am enormously attracted to you Maddison and I don’t believe you are
immune to me either’ he stops and waits for me to confirm or oppose his words,
‘or am I wrong?’

‘No’ I relent
‘you know I am’

‘Then let us
just forget home and our fuckedupness and enjoy some holiday time together’ he
offers ‘no strings’

I glance up
into his warm brown eyes that twinkle with amusement and produce a smile of my
own, ‘ok’ I whisper my insides tingling with the prospect of a week with this gorgeous
creature.

The meal was
delicious and Brad was a great companion chatting lightly throughout.  As I begin
to relax I enquire about his life and achievements so far but I realize that he
is as closed as I in regards to his past.

‘So no
girlfriend at home then?’ I probe my brain fuzzy from the wine and the
delicious company.

‘No’ he smiles
lightly ‘no boyfriend?’ he is a cool character completely unaffected.

‘No’ I shut
him down as he did I. ‘So why?’ I press, ‘a good looking man like you’ I flirt
shamelessly my chin in my hand as I gaze suspiciously up into his face.

‘I could ask
you the same looking as enchanting as you do?’ he is enjoying this.

I frown, ‘you
are just throwing my questions back at me’

‘Absolutely,
you share and I will share’ he whispers into my ear sending my stomach
fluttering.

I shake my
head in exasperation as I feel my cheeks flush, his eyes move to my cheeks and
his smile stops as the atmosphere sizzles with can only be described as sexual
tension.

‘Guys, I am
going to the club with Beth and Laura’ Courtney informs us interrupting the
connection once again.

‘Oh ok’ I
glance over at the girls who are gathering their belongings.

‘You are ok
aren’t you?’ Courtney checks her eyes asking an unspoken question.

‘I am fine’ I
wave her away ‘you have fun’

‘You too’ she
murmurs her eyebrows wiggling suggestively. ‘Brad behave’ Courtney teases and
Brad winks towards her.

As we walk out
of the restaurant Brad grabs my hand moving us towards the beach.

‘Where are we
going?’ I feel unfamiliar excitement build in my insides.

‘I thought as
it is a delightful evening we would take a walk’ he gentles.

We continue silently
along the pathway adjacent to the water which is lit up with globe shaped lampposts
as far as the eye can see.   The only sound apparent is the splashing of the waves
against the beach as we both remain within our own thoughts.  The evening is
warm and Brads constant stroking of his thumb across my knuckles is sending
delicious frissons of pleasure around me.

‘Where do you
live?’ I ask after a period of contented silence.

‘Fulham’ he
offers glancing down towards me.

‘Do you enjoy
travelling around for your job?’ I imagine it can become quite lonely.

‘Yes.  My
turn…’ he turns to face me with a mischievous glance in his eyes ‘why don’t you
date?’

‘Why don’t
you?’ I am quick to retaliate and he chuckles.

‘Touché’ we
walk a little further before he answers, ‘I do date’

‘You said you don’t
have a girlfriend’ I accuse distrustfully.

‘And I don’t
but I date when I can be bothered. So why don’t you date?’

I shrug,
‘haven’t the time or the want’

‘Ok, when was
the last time you went on a date?’ he presses.

‘When was the
last time you went on a date?’ I parrot.

He turns and
brings me up close to his front, ‘I give up’ he tilts my chin and places a kiss
against my lips gently, his hand moves to the back of my neck and brings me
closer until my hands move against his hard body.  They explore of their own
accord across his hard chest up to his shoulders running down his muscled
arms.  He deepens the kiss as his tongue demands an entrance and strokes softly
against mine, I groan as I bring him nearer grasping his neck as my tongue
explores his mouth. His hands find my hips and pull me against his groin as I
gasp against his lips.

‘You kiss like
a pro’ I compliment him as his hands wrap around me stroking up and down my
back.

‘Come back
with me’ he croaks as his lips find my neck and nibble.

‘That feels
good’ I groan.

‘You would be
surprised what I can do with my mouth’ he teases as he continues to bite down
gently around my collar bone.

‘Show me’ I
demand lust filling my every being.

The walk back
to the hotel and up to Brad’s room takes too long my insides fluttering in trepidation. 
He opens the door to his room and throws the keycard on the side before
shutting it behind us and locking it.  I am standing in the middle of his room
as he faces me his hands in his pockets his eyes in dangerous mode.  He wanders
towards me slowly until he is facing me, I gaze up into his glorious face my
hand finding his smooth shaven cheek.  As I move towards him his hands move to
the back of my dress and he lowers the zip oh so slowly.  Our eyes lock and we
are once again lost in a world of our own, he pushes gently at my dress and it
falls to the floor leaving me in nothing but my cream lace underwear.

His gaze moves
over me and I feel the desire in the air his eyes are black, his jaw tense.  He
reminds me of a jaguar all smooth and dark ready to pounce at any
moment….except he doesn’t.  Instead he moves a finger from my neck down to my
bra strap pushing it gently down lightly outlining the edge of my bra which
surrounds my rounded breast.  I gasp at the contact aware that my nipples are
straining against the lace, his eyes dart to mine and rest there for a moment. 
He repeats the action on the other side before bending and placing his tongue
where his finger has just been.  He licks along the top of the lace and I am
groaning my hand in his hair tugging him into me.

His hand moves
behind and unclasps my bra and it joins my dress on the marble floor.  I can
feel how wet my sex is waiting impatiently for some attention.

‘Brad’ I
whisper as his mouth drops to my pebbled nipple and he sucks hard which creates
an electric shock directly to my sex. ‘Oh god’ I mumble my head thrown back as
I arch into him.  He groans as his hands move to my hip and bring the other
nipple into his mouth as he sucks and licks.  My hands move to his shirt, ‘too
many clothes’ I complain mildly as I unbutton them the best I can.  He stands
up and allows me to finish his face flushed with passion, I push at the shirt
and allow it to drop before moving forward and running my hands over his chest
kissing and licking as I run my nails lightly down his back. 

My hands
locate his trousers and undo them aware of his aroused state straining against
his zip.  I push down both his underwear and trousers liberating his erection. 
He kicks off his shoes and steps out of his clothes gazing down at me as my
hands move up his legs until I reach my targeted destination.  I provide a
mischievous glance up at him as I grasp his manhood and lick around the tip. 
He gasps his eyes on me watching as I suck in the hard length bringing it to
the back of my throat and out repeating the action until he is growling with
pleasure. 

‘Enough!’ he
croaks guiding me up and moving me back against the bed until my calves hit the
back and I sit.  His gaze is powerful and sends a thrill of excitement
throughout my body, I feel exhilarated with the prospects ahead.

‘Lay down’ he
instructs dominantly and I obey.  His gaze moves over me for a moment before he
drops his hands either side of my face and kisses me thoroughly and passionately. 
God he is good is all I can think as my body responds to his every demand.  His
lips move down my body sucking and licking, by the time he reaches my sex I am
panting with desire.

‘Brad’ I urge.

His fingers
move my lace pants down and off of my ankles as his eyes peruse my neatly
shaved sex, ‘oh Maddison’ he breathes as he nibbles a trail up to my moist core
where he widens my legs apart and blows the lengths, I fidget below him as I sense
a building inside.  His tongue licks the length of my folds before circling my
clitoris gently and I feel out of control.

‘I’m going to
come’ I call and he dips sucking and licking whilst I am overwhelmed with
sensation as I explode around him.

‘Hmmm’ he
mumbles as he continues to blow and suck against me. 

‘Brad’ I call
and he thrusts a finger inside in and out delving into my swollen folds, he
adds another as he probes in and out and I immediately contract around him
repeatedly calling out once again.

‘God Maddison’
he croaks as he kneels moving me to the edge of the bed and thrusting deep
inside hoping to catch the last of the contractions.  He closes his eyes for a
moment before thrusting around and around probing at the ache I have inside, my
hands fist the bedding as I roll my hips in time with his rhythm hypnotized by
the sensations rushing through my body….god this is good I don’t want it to
ever stop.  He bends and grasps my legs bringing them up over his shoulders and
leans in so that my legs are almost at my ears, thank goodness for yoga I think
as he delves deeper inside me.  I wrap my legs around his neck as he moves to
kiss me passionately. 

‘God you feel
so good wrapped around me Maddison’ he whispers seductively into my ear.

His words are
my undoing as once again my insides awaken and build higher and higher as I
pant, he thrusts deeper and deeper until I cascade around him calling out his
name.  He stills emptying himself into me pumping until he is spent.

‘Oh god’ I
breathe deeply.

‘You ok?’ he
pants.

‘Oh yes’ I attempt
to bring my breathing back to normal.

‘That was
something else’ he mutters nibbling on my neck.
