Velvet Heat Ch. 01

By: adjoaq



Be gentle guys. This is my first attempt at writing anything remotely sexual. Comments, critiques and tips are welcome. 

***

Briana Scott stood on the wide lawn of her huge home, looking at the beautiful decoration. The place looked beautiful. She smiled and told herself she was going to enjoy her eighteenth birthday bash. 

Briana had it all – looks, brains and money...well her parents money...but what can she say? She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and didn't need to work a day in her life. She was known to most people as a snob because she mostly kept to herself.

Her eighteenth birthday which was to take place the following day was to be the biggest event in town that year and everybody was hoping to get an invite. 

"Hey pumpkin, how does it feel like on your last day at seventeen?" a voice said behind her. She turned and threw herself into her father's warm embrace feeling happy and cherished. "I can't wait Dad. I just pray everything goes according to plan." Nick Scott gave his daughter a kiss on her forehead and assured her that everything will be perfect. 

Elaine Scott stood at the doorway smiling at the pair. Her daughter had grown into a very beautiful young woman. She could still clearly remember the day she was born. She was so proud of her. She also hoped everything would be perfect on her daughter's day. All she had to do was to sit Sean down and talk him out of any mischievous plans he had to ruin his sister's party. Those kids were always playing pranks on each other. It was however obvious they loved each other to bits. Fifteen year old Sean hugged his mum from behind, giving her a loud kiss on her cheeks. "Hey mum, how is the bash of the century coming up?" 

"Sean Donald Scott you better not have anything up your sleeves to ruin your sister's day." Elaine admonished loudly causing father and daughter to turn to look at them. 

"Chillax mum, I wouldn't do that to her royal highness. Hey Dad whatsup?" he said walking over to them to give Briana a big hug. Briana hugged him back and gave him a slap on the back of his head. At the same time Nick ruffled his son's hair affectionately.

"Hey" he said to Briana, "you should be nice to me. After all, I can be your worst nightmare." 

"You wouldn't dare Timon." Briana said using the nickname she had given her brother due to his naughty nature. She had accurately named him after the mischievous meerkat in the Lion King movie. 

"Ooh it's on Sis"

She took off after her brother, both of them laughing merrily. Their parents stood with their arms around each other, smiling lovingly at their kids.

"Thank you my love" Nick said. 

"For what?" Elaine asked.

"For giving me these two."

"Well right back at you huh." She said giving Nick a kiss and a hug.

***

After a shopping spree with her pals Julia and Trisha, Briana sped home in her brand new Mercedes-Benz A-Class, an early birthday present from her parents, singing along to Efya's "You bring out the best in me". She sure did love that song. Too bad she didn't have a boyfriend at the moment to sing it to. She hoped being eighteen would bring her some luck. She doubted it though since it was obvious most guys felt intimidated by her. It was not her fault she was on top of her class. Neither was it her fault she had money to spend. Why couldn't they simply blame her parents for giving her brains and wealth? To quote Chris Rock: "fuck em boyz". She got to the gate of her mansion, used a remote control to open the gate and sped in to park. She wanted her mum to see the outfit she got for the party. She was going to look very simple but hot on her day as her friends and the attendant at the boutique had assured her. With her lovely figure, her flawless tanned skin and her beautiful long black silky hair, there was no need to overdo it.

By four p.m. the following day, which was a Saturday, the party was in full blast. Everybody seemed to be having a good time. Briana looked sexy in her sheer white daring open-back tank, with glimmering floral in front, which made a chic entrance and sexy exit. With that, she had on a white tight curve-loving stretch jeans, which sat comfortably on her hips and a silver sky-high heels which had cool cutouts and double straps, making the peep-toe platform pump look captivating. Briana's hair was piled high with tendrils hanging down softly around her face, giving her a sensual and classy look. She looked undeniably hot! The guys couldn't keep their eyes off her and the girls looked impressed.

"You look stunning Katherina" Briana's course mate, Paul told her. He started calling her Katherina after the beautiful sexy vampire in "The Vampire Diaries" because of her obvious resemblance to the character. He was one of the few guys who could boldly talk to Briana because they were childhood friends and still hang out.

"Thank you very much sweetie. Who did you come with?" Briana asked giving Paul a hug.

"I came with Cole. He's visiting and wanted to see how grown you are now."

"Oh my God! Cole is here?"

"Yip. And he wanna see you baaaad!" They both knew Briana has had a crush on Cole since they were kids. 

Cole was Paul's big brother who worked as the youngest partner in one of the best law firms in LA. At age twenty-five, he was one of the youngest top prosecutors in the private sector and was also known for his wild ways. 

Briana had last seen Cole three years ago when she was only fifteen and had been so in love she had tried to kiss him one fine afternoon. Cole had been so shocked he had ordered her to go home and she had fled in tears. They had not seen each other since. Now Briana didn't know whether to leave the party and go and hide in her room or act haughty. The latter won because after all, it was her party but that didn't stop her from shaking inside with shame. If only she could avoid seeing him.

She remembered Cole Adams as though she last saw him just this morning. Cole was a total stud, one of the popular guys in school, if not the most popular. The Adams family had moved into town when she was about ten and Cole was seventeen. He joined high school midstream and quickly became the top dog at the school. He was smoking hot. He had dark brown eyes with flecks of green and a head of thick, black hair which had been given a buzz cut making him look like a military guy. The rough and rugged look and his arrogant, dominant attitude made him so sexy. Everything about him screamed MAN, and that made him very appealing -- not only to Briana, but the entire student body. The girls wanted to fuck him. And all the guys wanted to be him.

He had done his share of drinking, fighting and fucking. In fact rumor had it that his killer smile had spread more legs than a gynecologist. 

Was it surprising that a young girl like herself would fall for this hotness? She used to hang out with Paul because they were classmates and their parents were friends. Elaine Scott had been childhood friends with their mum Lizzie. She therefore felt she had to keep an eye on the boys since Lizzie had passed on a year before Jim and the boys had moved into town. The boys therefore spent more time in the Scotts' home which increased her awareness and crush on the "bad boy" Cole.

Was he still hot? Was he now fat? Had he grown out of his wild ways? She had heard from Paul that his brother was a big shot lawyer who made a six figure a year. Well she hadn't done badly for herself had she? She was going to college in three months and was still at a loss as to which college to accept, since she has gained admission to about six top colleges. She was a confident woman who should not feel embarrassed for what happened due to an innocent crush by a mere kid. That didn't stop the blush that stole up her cheeks when she remembered that fateful day.

She had been studying with Paul in the Adams' home. Paul had to rush to pick up a calculus book from Simon who lived across their street. She was left with nothing to do but to day dream about Cole.....again. She had her eyes closed and was so lost in her daydream, she screamed when a voice said "hey". She had thought she was alone in the house. She stood up and screamed in terror but her scream was cut short when she was enfolded into a warm embrace with a soothing voice saying, "it's just me Bri. It's ok."

She realized she was being held by none other than her heart throb Cole and calmed down. He still held her close whiles stroking her hair and whispering to her to calm down. Two things happened at the same time: Briana, who could have easily passed for a beauty queen even at that age became aware of the warmth surrounding her and started having conflicting emotions, she never wanted to leave those arms...and she wanted to kiss Cole. She looked up at him whiles he kept stroking her hair, closed the distance between them and started kissing him. The feelings coursing through her were so exquisite that she thought she had died and gone to heaven. She was so far gone that she didn't notice Cole was not returning the kiss – neither was he pulling away. He was stunned. The next thing she knew, Cole was holding the sides of her head and telling her in a strong voice to stop it.

She realized what she was doing and quickly stepped away.

"What the fuck did you do that for Briana? Do you have any idea what you have done? Go home! Go home NOW!!!" She rushed out of the house and run all the way home. She went straight into her room, locked her door, flung herself onto her bed and cried her heart out. What had she done? She would never go out of her room again. She couldn't see herself facing anyone. What was Cole going to think of her?

"Can I have a dance with the birthday girl?" Briana was startled out of her thoughts by Sean who wanted to show his sister off to his pals. He twirled her around amidst screams by all present. Briana was feeling so care free and happy. This was really her day.

Cole stood near the beautiful fountain on the Scotts' lawn looking at the sexy Briana being twirled around by Sean and couldn't believe just how sexy and alluring she looked. Damn but the girl was fine! Even as a kid, Briana was a beauty. But now, in addition to the beauty was a sensual erotic look. He was floored. Thank God no one was paying attention to him because it would have been embarrassing to be caught drooling over a mere eighteen year old girl. But he knew without a doubt that he was gonna have her. After all he had been having fantasies about Briana for the past three years.

By nine p.m., the party was still in full swing. Briana was already too tired and a little bit tipsy. She wandered off to the fountain area to take a breather. She relaxed against the stone and took a deep breath, looking up at the skies. 

"Happy birthday missy. You sure look tired". A deep voice said beside her. She looked up and her heart missed a beat.

It's him, she thought. And damn but he looked HAWT! He had filled out in all the right places and looked absolutely gorgeous.

"Cole?" She said out loud.

"Yip. You ok?"

Briana forgot how to breathe. She didn't want this to happen, but she could feel the dampness between her legs. Everything about that man still drove her crazy! His voice, his 6" chiseled swimmer's frame and his sheer sexiness. But then she snapped back to reality and it suddenly hit her....she was angry at Cole. She had been angry all these years.

"Yes. I'm good." She didn't know what to say. She just stared at him.

"So I hear you're going to college in three months. Which one?"

"Well I got a whole lot of offers but I'm yet to make a choice." She said straightening her back and talking haughtily. "You know, this party was strictly by invitation. Care to tell me why you're here? After all, l don't remember giving you an invite.

Cole was taken aback by the anger in her voice. What did he do? He thought.

"Well I just thought I should drop by and wish you well. After all it's your eighteenth and that makes you a woman." He said with a slight frown on his face.

God but she wanted to touch him so bad. Briana thought. He looked delicious in just faded jeans and a navy blue polo shirt. 

Aloud, she said, "Well I invited people who I wanted to see today. Not people who think they get an automatic invite because they're making it big somewhere. Now this is my party. You are not welcome here. Get out!"

"What happened to you? When did you become such a bitch?" Cole asked, shocked at her words and obvious anger. Angry or not, however, she looked stunning. And those lips....

"Oh Mr. Barrister, I have a whole lot of names for you so don't even start. Just who the fuck do you think you are you conceited, arrogant bast...."

Before she could complete her question Cole's mouth was on hers. Cole put his hands on either side of Briana's face and covered her mouth with his own. It was a brutal kiss. Briana tried to back away from the kiss, but Cole secured his left arm around her waist preventing any movement. He released a low, soft groan, and put his hand on the back of her neck, pulling her even closer as he kissed her. Briana whimpered and tried to push him away, feeling as though her lips would start bleeding any second, he was kissing her so hard. 

Briana tried opening her mouth to protest and she gasped when he sank his tongue into her mouth. The sensation of their tongues touching felt like fireworks erupting within her body. She felt as though she was melting into his body. Then everything changed - the kiss quickly went from rough to gentle. Briana moaned and returned Cole's kiss. She put his hands on Cole's chest and could feel his rock-hard muscles through his polo shirt. She opened up allowing Cole to explore and taste her as he desired. Briana had never been kissed like this before. Cole took without asking and she realized that she liked it. No, she loved it.

Cole broke the kiss and moved his lips below Briana's ear. She let her head fall back and roll to the side, exposing her neck to him.

Cole made a noise that sounded like a growl. The deep vibrations sent a shudder throughout Briana's body. She moaned softly as she squirmed against him, gasping as she felt his dick press into her lower belly. Cole was perilously close to shooting in his pants. He had a feeling if he didn't have her now, he would go out of his mind. He slid his mouth to Lisa's throat and continued to kiss it as he slid his hand under her top to touch her breasts. 

"You're so sexy." She froze in shock as the words tumbled out of her mouth. Her voice didn't sound like her own. She had never been this aroused in her life. Then she felt a delicious jolt go through her – Cole had the nipple of her right breast in his mouth. God only knew what he was doing to it because her knees just gave out under her. Cole however held her up and continued his exquisite torture.

He needed to touch her so bad. He slid his hand from her breast down to open the button of her jeans, her zipper quickly following. By now Briana was totally sober and knew exactly what was going on but was powerless to stop it. She was going out of her mind with pleasure. She felt Cole's fingers inside her panties and started trembling so bad he had to tighten his hold on her. He managed to slip a finger under her panties and found that she was dripping wet. Briana moaned softly and pushed as hard as she could against Cole's hand, desperate for him to send her over the edge. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she bit her lip and had to concentrate on not letting herself collapse. She whined in desperation as he suddenly withdrew his fingers, leaving her utterly frustrated.

Cole lowered her onto the lush grass and pulled off her jeans and panties at the same time after taking off her shoes. He unfastened his own jean to bring relief to his tightly squeezed dick which had precum dripping out of it like a faucet. He moved down her body spreading her legs and inserting his shoulders between her thighs, propping one of her legs on his shoulder. Cole looked up into Briana's lush folds spread wide open before him and groaned in pure bliss. He spread the lips of her pussy wide open so he could view the treasure he had uncovered. 

Briana heated even further under his hot gaze and watched as he circled the hood around her clitoris with a finger until he had coaxed it from its safe house. Cole fastened his mouth directly on it as soon as it put in an appearance, sucking furiously on it. Briana felt like her world was turning upside down. She couldn't think, could hardly even breathe, and had no idea what was happening to her except for the fact that she desperately needed to cum. She lifted her head slightly so that she could look down at Cole, and gasped sharply at the erotic scene of his mouth and tongue firmly attached to her clitoris - she lost it. Her orgasm tore through her so hard, she had tears streaming down her face, all the while tugging at his hair and yelling his name. It was her cries of pleasure that brought Cole back to himself.

He quickly climbed up her body swallowing her cries of pleasure by covering her mouth with his and while she was still shaking with the after effects of the pleasure he had given her, he buried his cock balls deep inside her. Though Briana was well-lubricated due to her orgasm, she felt like she was being ripped in two, it hurt so much she screamed!

Cole felt a barrier inside her rip just at the time he felt Briana scream into his mouth and he froze! Immediately the haze surrounding his brain cleared and he pulled out. What the fuck! 

"Look at me," he whispered harshly. "Briana please look at me." Briana looked up at him, and his expression was so focused it looked almost pained. It frightened her. Briana quickly averted her eyes, but he grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him.

"I am so sorry," Cole pleaded. The guilt and desperation on his face was her undoing and she cried. Cole soothed her gently and wiped the tears from her face.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

After calming down, Briana stared into Cole's troubled eyes. Why did he care? With the kind of reputation he had in high school, this shouldn't have given him pause. Is it that he's changed? Looking into his eyes, there was one thing she knew for sure; she wanted to make love with Cole Adams.

"Would you do me a favour if I asked you?" she asked in a small breathless voice.

"Anything."

Kissing him tenderly on the lips, she whispered, "Finish this".

Cole's shock could clearly be seen on his face. He stuttered, "...What? I...I'm sorry Bri but I can't. You see, I would have taken my time if I had known you hadn't done this before. Now you are hurt and will be sore for a while. Entering you again may be agony for you. I won't put you through that."

"Please Cole, we will take it slow. And you did agree to do me a favour."

After pondering on what she said for a while, Cole decided to ask a favour of his own.

"Only on one condition Bri."

"Name it"

"That you allow me to do it better another time, in a proper bed, after wining and dining you as you deserve."

Briana laughed shyly and gave him another kiss, "Deal".

Cole started kissing Briana again tracing the crease of her lips. He paid homage to the beauty he held. He kept his kisses gentle and reverent, relishing the soft, breathy moans from Briana. He slid his tongue into her mouth and explored it leisurely. He learnt about the ridges at the roof, the smooth teeth and the silky inner cheeks and then suckled pleasurably at Briana's equally slick and agile muscle. She moaned helplessly, enjoying the benefit of his cultivated skill and his dark passion. God, he felt good. His erection strained between then but he ignored it and pushed Briana's top up. He cupped her bare breast making her moaned in pleasure. Cole's mouth closed over a nipple and his arms wrapped around her waist, holding her captive against him. He sucked hard, triumph mingling with soaring lust when he felt her body shudder in his embrace, delighted by Briana's lack of inhibition and responsiveness.


Velvet Heat Ch. 01



Briana's hands had been doing their own exploring. She had traced the muscles of Cole's back, up to powerful shoulders and then round to discover the smattering of chest hair that fascinated her. She mimicked Cole's touches to her nipples and was pleased to note he seemed to appreciate the caress. Briana found herself longing to see and explore this unknown territory. He moved down and parted her thighs gently and sliding his lips over her clit, he began very gently sucking it in and out of his mouth. Briana's breath caught as she began to thrust her hips in rhythm to his sucking. She slid her hands into his hair and ran her nails over his scalp, pulling him closer. He groaned in contentment and the vibrations from the sound was so exquisite and so pleasurable that she was sure she would float away in ecstasy.

Cole slowly and deliberately massaged her pussy with his tongue, just beginning to explore her swelling inner folds. Briana couldn't stop her body's involuntarily movement. She trembled and moaned louder the more he flicked his tongue directly against her little button. Briana rolled her head from side to side, quickly becoming overwhelmed with the sensations of her body. It was no longer heat between her thighs, but fire. And in that moment, she wanted it to fully consume her. But Cole had other ideas. He moved up and gently, whiles kissing Briana all the time, pushed himself into her tender folds. 

"Ohh my god," Briana cried, lips trembling. The slight pain of his entrance went almost unnoticed. She felt so full. She clung to him desperately, consumed by an urgent need to keep him inside of her. Cole groaned as the head of his shaft was surrounded by slick, incendiary tightness. He held himself immobile as Briana became accustomed to the intrusion and then pressed further forward inch by inch until fully imbedded in her tight body. He was not surprised to feel the lithe body stiffen, but persevered. His mouth closed over Briana's, his tongue stroking over her lips as his hands stroked her hair. Slowly...with a soft whimper of need...Briana's body molded to Cole's, her arms snaking to wrap around his shoulders and Cole responded by pulling Briana impossible closer. His tongue sank inside warm, wet depths, exploring her taste feverishly. Cole moaned softly, slid his mouth down to cover one of her breasts again and sucked hungrily.

"Cole?" Slowly, from the hips, Briana pushed herself against Cole, moaning when he tightened his hold. "I want...."

"Tell me what you want," he whispered, his voice hoarse from arousal, the way that made her shudder in pleasure.

"I want you to move please". She whispered.

The words made Cole groan. And that's all the encouragement Cole needed. He took her. He moved slowly at first, but soon became lost in mind-fracturing pleasure. He moved harder, faster, deeper, his fingers pulling on Briana's swollen nipples bringing her more pleasure.

She slid her legs around his back, and locked them around his waist, pulling him deeper inside her. Cole moaned in response and gentled his movements inside her until Briana whined in pleasure. He could sense when her pleasure was about to peak, when her moans became loud. He withdrew, rotated, and pushed in halfway, before withdrawing and pushing in deep. She was going out of her mind with intense pleasure.

"Don't stop," Briana whispered softly against Cole's ear. "Don't ever stop." 

He was no longer holding back the true potential of his stamina out of respect for her innocence. Her body was ready for him, and that was all the confirmation Cole needed to truly fuck her, with no inhibitions. He began to pump relentlessly as he felt his control slip away. He moved harder, faster, deeper whiles she made an amazed noise at the back of her throat, clutching at him as he worked inside her. It was mind-blowing. She thrust up with her hips matching his pace.

Briana threw her head back in delight as she began to feel that familiar throb deep in her belly. Cole slid his thumb on to her clitoris and stroked gently, then harder. Briana felt the tight coil within her begin to snap, and she looked at Cole momentarily before she fell over the edge. She went rigid and screamed as her orgasm rocked her slim body. With Cole riding her through her orgasm, it seemed to go on and on. Her contractions were so intense and squeezed Cole so pleasurably that a moan tore through his chest and he shook all over as he started to pulse. He thrust into her one final time, pulled out, and with his cock lurching violently, released his hot silky fluid onto the grass with a loud roar. Thanks to the loud music being played, no one could hear them.

Cole collapsed on top of Briana, burying his face in the warmth of her neck as his worn out body refused to hold itself up any longer. He felt her trembling from head to toe in the wake of her release. All the intense feeling had reduced her into an incoherent bundle of nerves. He held her close feeling protective of her all of a sudden. 

When she finally began to relax, she realized that Cole was on top of her, staring down at her intently. 

"What?" Briana asked softly. Cole smiled and gently kissed her lips.

"You're beautiful," he said. She slightly blushed at the compliment. He gently kissed her neck as his fingertips skirted along the skin of her arms, making her flesh break out in goose bumps. 

Cole rolled off of her, stood up and fastened his jeans. He offered Briana, who was looking up at him with so much admiration on her face, a hand. 

"I can't move." It was a breathless complaint. Cole bent down and picked her up. She flowed into his arms, all liquid and pleasured and boneless, and laid her head on his chest. She felt safe in Cole's arms and gave a contented sigh as he nuzzled at her temple.

After standing like that for a while, Cole helped her dress up.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes." Briana replied suddenly feeling shy.

"What time can I see you tomorrow? We need to talk."

"Can I will call you in the morning?" She asked softly.

"Ok. But please call me early because I wouldn't be ok till I hear from you. Please!" Cole added giving Briana a tender kiss on her soft swollen lips.

"I promise."

"Shall we?" He said taking her hand and steering her towards the party.

***

Briana sat up in bed the next morning and flinched at the soreness between her legs. Her memory provided a frame by frame play back of what had happened the night before. Cole had reduced her to a sniveling bag of nerves and just remembering made her wet despite her soreness. 

There was a knock on her door and Elaine poked her head in.

"Hi baby, did you sleep well?" Elaine went to her daughter and gave her a hug.

"I did mother" Briana replied hugging her mother back.

"Hope you had fun. Where did you disappear to by the way? You were nowhere to be found when the Johnsons were leaving last night. That was after nine. What happened to you?"

Briana's heart was pounding so hard she felt it was going to fall out from her chest any minute. Trying to hide her blush she replied dismissively, "I went to the fountain to have a little peace and quiet. I think I had a little too much to drink."

"It was your day darling, I'm just glad you had fun. Now wash up and come have breakfast. Your dad and Sean are already downstairs." She said leaving Briana's room.

Briana stretched and actually felt sore all over. She felt delightfully tired. Slowly she trailed her left hand down her stomach and lazily opening her legs began to caress her smooth pussy. Letting out a soft sigh of pleasure she closed her eyes and thought back to the night before. Remembering how good Cole's cock had felt and how hard she had cum. 

Bringing her right hand to her mouth she licked her fingers and began to play with her right nipple. A moan escaped her lips as her fingers moved faster. Oh you nasty girl, she thought as she always did when she masturbated. She slipped her fingers onto her clit and gave it a little pinch before rubbing in slow circles teasing herself whiles thinking of the night before. The image of Cole on his knees with his mouth firmly attached to her clitoris drove me over the edge and arching her back, she came long and hard.

She quickly went to take a shower and went down to have breakfast.

***

Cole hanged up the phone thinking of how to get rid of his gold digger of an ex who still thought there was a chance for them. He just wasn't up for any drama. All he could think of was Briana. Now that's one sweet piece of arse if anybody should ask him. Just thinking about her made his blood hot. He couldn't wait to talk to her. She did promise to call this morning. He must admit though that he had a shock last night. A fucking virgin? Do they still manufacture those? She was so tight he thought his dick was gonna fall off. Fuck! But he still wondered where all that anger had come from. Well they were going to talk today and he was bent on finding out the cause.

As if on cue, the house phone rang. Cole reached for the extension in his room as both his dad and brother were already out of the house.

"Hello". He said hoping it was Briana.

"Hi Cole" the soft voice on the other end of the phone replied. Cole's heartbeat actually sped up. What was wrong with him? Fuck! 

"Hi yourself. How are you doing this morning?" he asked softly.

"I'm ok. How about you?"

"I'm good. What are you up to?"

"Nothing much. Just relaxing in bed."

"I see. Look can I come pick you up? We really need to talk Bri."

The silkiness of Cole's voice was a torturous caress that Briana thought she wouldn't mind enduring for the rest of her life. Even his voice brought tingles all over her body. She sure as hell wanted to see him.

"Can you pick me up in the next twenty minutes?" she asked breathlessly.

"I'm on my way".

***

"Coming" Briana shouted. Though she was anxious to see Cole, she was a nervous wreck. Only God knows what he must be thinking of her. After all she did have sex with him without so much as a protest. She felt so ashamed but knew they had to talk just as he had said last night. If only he were not so sexy, then maybe she could think straight around him. As it stands now, she didn't trust herself around him at all. She hoped he acts sensible in this....like he did last night by spending his seed outside of her. If only he hadn't started that punishing kiss, she would be without any worry by now. She promised herself she would listen to whatever he had to say and let the chips fall where they may. At least she was thankful she was home alone. She wasn't ready for any probing questions from her family.

Taking a deep breath, Briana opened the door and.....just stared at the handsome sexy man in front of her. He looked so good standing there in shorts and a t-shirt. His broad chest and rippling muscles had her mouth salivating at the thought of touching her tongue to his aroused flesh. And he smelled sinfully good. Her heartbeat quickened.

Briana dropped her eyes to her hands ensuring that he was blocked from her periphery. She apparently couldn't even bear to be near him and not want him.

"Hey" greeted Cole softly. Oh fuck she looked hot in a denim short skirt with a sexy yellow top with spaghetti strings. She looked so so sexy.

"Hey" she replied shyly. She couldn't look Cole in the eyes. "Err.....would you wanna come in?"

"Sure"

Briana moved aside allowing him to pass through to the living room. "Make yourself comfortable. Would you care for anything?"

"Briana where's everyone?" Cole asked looking around. "Looks like you're alone here."

She shrugged prettily "My parents went to visit an Aunt and Sean went....somewhere. Don't know where." It was obvious to Cole she was nervous and wouldn't look at it. That won't do at all.

"Come here"

Briana quickly looked up. "huh?"

"I said come here. Come on." He stood holding out his hand to her. She walked to stand in front of him, taking his hand and getting a jolt which went directly to her pussy. Damn! She couldn't stop the blush from spreading across her cheeks. Cole gathered her into his arms and rubbed her back. After a while he tipped her chin up and looked down into her lovely face, seeing her lips tremble.

"Goddamn, I wanna kiss you so bad." Cole whispered. Briana, who was staring intently at his lips, chose that moment to lick her own lips which had suddenly gone dry. 

"Fuck!" and his lips were on hers. Kissing her last night had been intense and this morning was no different. It almost felt like coming home after a long absence; a relief to be in a comfortable place, a place that welcomes you and knows you. Exploring her mouth, their tongues dancing together, was like singing along with Kaki; relaxed, sweet and hot, working smoothly with and against each other. Cole felt himself beginning to get lost in the kiss and gently broke it, trailing his lips over Briana's jaw to nibble at the curve in front of her ear.

Briana felt him kissing her jaw and ear, and moaned as his teeth grazed the skin. The burning feeling inside was growing, spreading, causing her nipples to harden and her breath to shorten. Her panties were so damp she was afraid of leaving a wet spot on the floor. 

He just had to be a great kisser, of course. His kiss just had to be the kind that made you want to fall into it. She was already so gone on this man and now he had to make her want even more from him. He made her feel helpless and out of control and that scared her. She had to find out what his intentions, if any, were. Maybe if she asks him that very moment, catching him off guard while he couldn't think would get her some spontaneous honesty.

Burying her face in his chest, she asked whiles still trying to catch her breath, "Cole, what is it that you want from me? Sex or a relationship?" 

She pulled her face back from his chest so she could see his face and watch his reaction to what she was asking. 

Cole looked down to find Bri watching him intently, waiting for an answer and she looked dead serious. 

"I told you we need to talk didn't I?" He asked softly running his fingers through her hair. "Let's get out of here."

She nodded. She could wait. "Need to pick something from my room. Be right back." But she still held on to Cole. Her legs felt like jelly. 

"Should I carry you upstairs?" Cole asked teasingly, kissing her on the forehead.

"Just give me a moment please" she murmured slightly embarrassed. 

Before she knew what he was doing, he had swept her off her feet and was heading in the direction of the stairs. Briana shrieked holding on to his neck. "I can walk Cole. Come on put me down."

"Well too bad because I'm enjoying having you in my arms. Deal with it". Briana giggled helplessly.

Upstairs, Briana didn't have to direct Cole to her room as he already knew which one was hers. He kicked open the door and entered. He slowly deposited her on her feet but still kept his arms around her. 

"Now take whatever you had to take and let's go."

And just like that, Briana's face turned a very dark shade of red.

"Hey...what is it? Tell me," Cole coxed.

"Well I wasn't coming to pick anything. I just wanted to....change."

"You don't have to Briana. I love what you're wearing." He said looking at her with blatant lust.

If it's possible, Briana turned even redder. What the fuck is wrong with her, Cole wondered. She still hadn't moved and looked as if she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. Then it dawned on Cole: Whatever she wanted to change, it wasn't her outfit. And just like that, his cock stood at full attention and the bulge could be clearly felt and seen against his left thigh. He knew she was probably too sore for him to have her again, but he had to taste her. Then she could go ahead and change her panties as she obviously wanted to.

Cole grabbed Briana's arms and pushed her backwards onto her bed. "I want to taste you." She felt a fire start between her legs at his words, and tried to still her excitement. Cole had the look of a sexual predator and it aroused her so much she started trembling. Surely he wasn't going to have sex again so soon after last night was he? The pain inside her had lessened considerably since she woke up but she knew that she shouldn't let him do this, that she should fight or scream or do anything but cooperate, but when he looked at her like this she just couldn't think straight.

Cole dragged her butt to the edge of the bed and knelt down between her legs. He pushed her skirt up to the point where it was riding almost to her waist. He gave a firm tug against her panties, ripping them off of her. For a second, rational thoughts were at play in Briana's mind. The door was unlocked; her skirt around her waist, her panties on the floor, and Cole was between her legs. What would happen if someone walked in? But these thoughts were quickly squashed.

Cole smiled smugly, slid his middle finger into her mouth and let her suck for a moment until it was slick with her saliva. He slid it over her clitoris for a couple of seconds, then pressed gently. He run his hands between her legs, one parting her lips, the other running between her lush folds to come back drenching wet. Her breathing became ragged and whimpering, she looked down at Cole in fascination as he brought his finger to his mouth. "I love the taste of you," Cole whispered, "But you must know that by now."

"Oh God, Cole!"

Cole brought his wet finger back between her legs and swirled it around her clit, bending to suck her clit into his mouth. Briana arched off the edge of the bed in an effort to get closer to the source of pleasure. She lifted her legs and draped them across Cole's back, her thighs squeezing his head.

Her hips were bucking faster and harder shoving her pussy into his face and he loved it! The smell, the taste, and best of all her moaning, got him so excited and hard he could feel his cock straining to be released from the confines of his shorts. Cole kissed his way around her clit, and he began circling it deliberately with the tip of his stiffened tongue. Briana's pussy began to throb insistently as her body began to build up to climax. She tried to relax her muscles, and enjoy the sensation of the act as opposed to fixating only on the ending, but she found that her desire was growing stronger and unbearable. She was going out of her mind.

"What you were doing...just then...don't you dare stop," Briana said breathlessly. Cole smiled slowly, loving that he had brought out that aggressive side of Bri at such an intimate time. She sure did sound hot and sexy.

"My pleasure," he replied, instantly rewarding her with those rapid flicking movements against her clit. Bri's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she twisted her fingers in his hair, moaning louder and louder the closer he brought her to climax. "Oh Cole," She moaned. 

Her fingernails were actually digging into his scalp but he didn't care. He reached up and began to play with her nipple.

"Yes! Oh yes!" She groaned, "Oh just like that don't stop Cole don't stop oh please just like that." 

Hearing her say please sent a thrill through him and he moved quicker. Suddenly Bri squeezed his head even harder and her hips left the bed but stayed there not bucking just grinding into his face and he could feel her thighs tremble, she cried out loudly. Hands still inside Cole's hair, Briana leaned all the way on her back as a shuttering orgasm ripped through her. 

She could feel it all the way down in her toes which curled on their own. Her climax was so forceful that it left her breathless and trembling. She started pulling Cole up forcefully. She wanted to kiss him so bad. He crawled up her body, stopping when his face was level with her breasts. He took a nipple into his mouth, suckled, and Briana moaned. His lips travelled upwards, lingering in the curve of her throat. He licked the length of her neck and sank his teeth into her. She moaned. "Mmm," he murmured. "Delicious." His mouth sealed over hers, his tongue, tasting of her, filling her mouth. His hips settled into the cradle of hers




Velvet Heat Ch. 01



"I want you inside me Cole. Please!" 

Cole stared at her with passion glazed eyes. "Are you sure Sweetie?" he whispered into her ear, grinding against her.

"Oh God," Briana whimpered as Cole sucked on her ear lobe. "Oh please!"

"Bri I might hurt you." He said in a shaky voice. He knew he was not in control of his body and feared the damage he might do to her.

"Look at me Cole." Cole leaned back and looked into the Briana's eyes; let her see the look of barely-contained desire and just-controlled violence on his face. She moaned in shock, her eyes darkening in pleasure at her ability to drive him so totally wild. "You won't hurt me. I trust you."

Cole quickly stood up and shed off his clothing. Briana's eyes widened as his body became visible, and she realized that this was her first glimpse of him without cloths. His body was long, hard, muscular and beautiful. Then he took off his boxers and she saw his dominating erection and almost passed out. His cock was nothing short of ubelievable....in plain English it was fucking huge! It was long and thick as well. It was the type of cock that was as much a weapon as it was a part of his anatomy. How was it able to fit inside her last night? She panicked.

Seeing her panicked look, Cole reminded her with a smirk that she'd already been able to take it and therefore had nothing to worry about. He slowly crawled up between her legs and lowered himself, allowing his cock to slide down the length of her pussy and she moaned loudly. He tease her clit with his cock making a wet sound each time it slid against her pussy. She wanted it inside bad, but allowed him to take his time. 

After several more teases Cole slid his huge hard cock all the way inside and holding it there, bent his head and began kissing the inside of Bri's neck. She felt so full and a slight discomfort but also an unexplainable pleasure. He stilled, biting down hard on his lips and urges, forcing himself to give her the chance to make room for his invasion. He raised his head and they looked into each other's eyes. She smiled at him as he brushed his lips against hers. 

"Are you ok?"

She nodded and reached up to take his lips in a passionate kiss. Cole started to move. His cock flexed, releasing a heavy spurt of pre-cum and he lost what little control he had. He thrust once, twice. No one and nothing had ever felt this good, like hot, slick, wet velvet. His balls started crawling up and he clamped down on his motions. Not fucking yet! He thought, knowing if she moved even a little, he'd cum and ruin everything. 

"Oh, fuck! Hold still!" Cole commanded through clenched teeth, shuddering in her embrace.

After a while, Cole started moving and it was exquisite pleasure for both of them. What could be better than this? Bri thought. She looked down between them and could see his beautiful prick glistening from her juices, plunging in and out, almost as good was watching his arms flex as he raised and lowered himself in and out of her.

Cole spread Bri's thighs further and sank lower over her body with each thrust, pushing in deep enough to touch her womb. He put more force and speed behind his thrusts causing a slight sweat to break out all over his body. He placed Briana's ankles on his shoulder and let his hand drift down her body to tangle in her tight curls. He allowed his thumb to roughly swirl around her clitoris, causing her to moan loudly. Her hips rose in response to his driving rhythm causing even greater friction as she pushed herself against him. She shuddered violently under him as the pleasure overwhelmed her. He pressed against her softness, forcing his way in, pressing firmly against her cervix. 

"You're mine," he growled. "And nobody else is ever going to touch you, do you understand that?" She did. At his words, wave after wave of electric currents surged through her veins, across her skin, through her entire body, through her head even, and she grabbed onto Cole tighter to keep herself from floating away. The white hot intensity of her orgasm completely took over all of her senses, for a moment, her senses vanished. She couldn't see or hear or feel anything but a rapturous high.

Cole's body quivered and he panted as if he'd been running a marathon. For the first time in his life, he was unable to take control of his body. His body was a quivering mass of emotions and sensations. He was over the edge, oblivious to everything but Bri's warmth. He felt his cream surging through his dick with a force he rarely felt. His cock seemed to swell to twice its size inside of her as he pumped into her with a force that stole her breath. He set a pace of pure, animalistic frenzy. All came together in a brilliant explosion of lust and lavishness as he gave in to a soul-bending climax. 

With a last deep thrust, Cole's cock pulsed inside Briana, seized and released his hot silky fluid. He felt so out of control, was shaking so bad and his heartbeat was so amplified that he distantly wondered if he'd pop a blood vessel.

She slid her arms them around him, one sliding into his hair and stroking through it till his body started to relax slowly and his breathing returned to normal.

"Cole Adams," she whispered, using his full Christian name for the first time. "I..." She stopped herself from saying something very stupid. "You're so beautiful."

He looked at her for a moment, wondered what she had meant to say, but she wouldn't look at him and so he couldn't tell. He needed time to think. He never lost control like he just did. And that scared him. He had actually claimed her! She was like a drug in his blood. And to make matters worse, he hadn't been able to withdraw as he automatically did whenever he went without protection. Every moment he spent in her company seemed to make his situation a little worse and he couldn't muster the will power to walk away. He knew he was falling....and fast!

He kissed her lightly, a tender expression of the warmth he already felt for her. Pulling back slightly, and looking into her blue eyes, he murmured, "Have I told you how dead sexy you are?"

"Nope" She replied giggling. 

She was so adorable. What the fuck was he going to do with her?

Velvet Heat Ch. 02



Chapter 2. Comments, critiques and tips are welcome. 

***

Briana waited patiently in the car for Cole. She didn't know what he was going to buy from the pharmacy shop. But from his body language, it seemed very important that he got it. Well she had nowhere to go so she was not bothered.

She still couldn't believe they had actually had sex again this morning. She could still feel him. And to think this time yesterday, she was actually a virgin. Briana laughed out loud and quickly looked around to see whether someone was looking at her. Wouldn't want people to think she was nuts...laughing all by herself. She saw Cole striding towards the car and thought. 'He's all mine.' She felt really good inside and hoped nothing marred her good feeling.

Cole got into the car and gave her some pills and a bottle of water, "Take this Bri. It's called Postinor. It's morning - after pills. You know...we didn't use protection this morning..."

"Oh...'' Briana turned a delicate shade of red and took what Cole offered, quickly taking the pills. How thoughtful of him she thought. On the other hand, she thought, it could also mean he rather wanted to ensure that nothing tied him to her. That thought did hurt but she suppressed the feeling, telling herself that Cole was only looking out for her.

Cole drove to StarBites, a nice café where they could talk without unnecessary interruptions. He ordered regular coffee whiles Briana opted for sugar-free vanilla latte.

"Vanilla latte. Is it nice?" Cole asked Briana with a raised eyebrow.

"Come on have a taste"

Cole took a sip of Briana's latte and made a face which made her laugh.

"Ow admit it Cole. It's nice. It's defiantly nicer than your black coffee."

"Well I can boldly say it's definitely NOT nicer than you.'' He replied huskily, looking at her from under his lashes.

Briana blushed, staring into her latte. Cole took her hands into his, staring at her fingers. She had really delicate fingers. He shuddered to think what those fingers could do to him. His throat suddenly went dry and he had to take a sip of his coffee.

"So tell me...why were you so angry with me? And please be very honest with me because relationships that lack honesty, do not last. And this right here," Cole flicked his forefinger between them, "is a relationship. So spill it."

Briana took a deep breath and looked at Cole.

"I really don't know why I was angry at you Cole. I guess in a way, I was hurt with...you did drive me out of your house you know." She said giving him a reproachful look.

"Oh Bri!" Cole rubbed his closed his eyes and rubbed his brow remembering that fateful day three years ago vividly, "It was for your own good. You were only fifteen Bri...and do you know just how close I got to fucking you right there in my dad's living room? I would never have been able to forgive myself. And your dad would have killed me." He added the last bit with a smile.

"But I heard all the stories. You were fucking other girls my age so why not me? Was I that unappealing?" Briana asked looking dejected.

"No no no," Cole took Briana's face between his palms, "You don't know the effect you have on people do you? Even back then, you were stunning and sexy as hell. And you were NOT other girls Bri. You were like a kid sister to me. Do you have any idea just how appalled at myself I was, for having such inappropriate feelings towards you? And it all started with that kiss. I had to leave town the very next day to preserve my sanity. My dad didn't understand why all of a sudden I wanted to leave when I had two whole weeks to relax at home. For once in my life, I wanted to do the right thing Bri. You've always been on my mind since then babe. This thing between us...I don't know where it's leading. But I'm ready to find out. Are you?"

Briana was so overwhelmed and had tears in her eyes she couldn't talk so she nodded. Cole stood up, went around the table to her side and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He could do this he told himself. He really wanted her to be happy so he was ready to make an effort to let this thing work. So help him God.

They finally settled and spoke about themselves and what plans they had. Cole encouraged Briana to accept UCLA as it was in LA...where he was practicing.

"Will you look after me?" she asked jokingly.

"You bet I will. I wanna keep an eye on you so that those horny college boys wouldn't have any funny ideas.'' Cole replied with a mock scowl on his face.''

Briana couldn't help but laugh. God he was sexy even with a scowl on his face. She was so into him it was not amusing. And she was definitely going to UCLA...because she wanted to keep an eye on HER man. 'Her man.' She liked the sound of that. She couldn't wait to tell her parents about her choice.

***

Dinner that evening was an interesting affair. Nick and Elaine were thrilled with their daughter's choice of college. Briana was happy too but was very uncomfortable because Sean kept staring at her and she didn't know why.

"What?"

She asked for the eleventh time but he just shrugged as he had been doing throughout dinner. And he had this ...shocked look on his face, like he couldn't believe something.

"Hey son, what's the matter? You're making your sister uncomfortable. We're all going to miss her but we're not staring. Say something.'' Nick Scot admonished his son.

Sean still maintained his silence but minimized the staring. Briana couldn't tell what was going on through his mind. But she knew he would tell her in his own time. It was still creepy though.

That night she called Cole to let him know it was a done deal. She was going to be with him in LA. They were both happy and Cole talked about all the places they could visit and the fun they could have. Briana heard her door being opened and turned to look. Sean stood in the doorway looking at her.

"Cole, let me call you right back. Don't sleep.''

"I won't babe.''

Briana melted at how he said 'babe' in that sexy voice of him. She couldn't wait to talk to him again. But now, she had to deal with her brother.

"Hey." She said to Sean, patting the space beside her on the bed, indicating he come sleep beside her. But Sean chose to sit on the chair beside her bed...which was rather strange but she chose not to comment on it.

"Who were you talking to?" He asked.

"Cole. Why?

He continued to stare at her.

"Will you stop with the staring already Sean. Just tell me what the pro..."

"I saw you." He said it so quietly she almost didn't hear him.

"You saw me where?" Briana asked confused.

"I saw you this morning. In here. On this bed. With Cole."

The blood just drained from Briana face and it was now her turn to stare at Sean.

"I came home and heard all these sounds coming from you room. You didn't even close your door Bri. At first I thought of kicking him off you. But then I noticed just how much you were enjoying yourself and encouraging him...that was the best porn EVER!"

With a loud laugh he jumped onto the bed pointing at his sister's face.

"That's not funny Sean and keep it down before mum and dad come barging in here." Briana whispered loudly, jumping out of bed to go and close her bedroom door.

Sean was still laughing his head off and holding his sides. "You're a slut Sis. You should have seen and heard yourself."

"Just how long did you watch?" Briana asked angrily. She wanted to strangle her brother.

"Long enough. To know that my slutty sister wanted to be ploughed by the sexy lawyer. What were you thinking Bri? I could have videotaped the whole thing and you wouldn't have even noticed."

"Did you?"

"Did I what?"

"Did you videotape or take pictures Sean?"

"How the fuck can you even ask that? I'm going out of my mind here already, that even one guy has gotten to see you like that. Why would I wanna risk somebody else seeing that? I'm actually not amused with this whole thing Bri. What made me laugh was the look on your face when I told you I saw you. You looked like you were going to faint. It was funny actually." Sean added with a chuckle.

He stood and made to leave the room but stopped and turned to his sister.

"Bri, I really hope this is not a onetime thing. Do you like him?"

"I love him Sean." And it felt so good saying it out loud.

"And how does he feel about you?"

"Well...he likes me. And as of today we are in a relationship." She said with a slight smile.

"So LA huh? If he does anything bad to you let me know. Okay?" Sean said looking all serious.

That startled Briana. "Oww Sean thanks. But what can you do if he hurts me? You are only fifteen."

"Pray we never get to find out Bri. Nobody hurts my sister." He replied giving her a tight hug. "I'll miss you sis. Take good care of yourself."

"I will." Briana answered with tears in her eyes. What's with all the tears today she thought.

At the door Sean turned and added teasingly, "Oh and don't get pregnant...yet."

Briana laughed and threw a pillow at him but it only hit the closed door.

***

Briana was standing outside the airport with her parents and Sean, slowly becoming more and more red in the face with embarrassment. Elaine was holding her face between her palms and crying. 

"Mom" Briana gasped, "I'm an adult and I've been away from home before remember?"

"Not for a whole year. And you'll always be my baby." Elaine answered tearfully, rubbing aggressively at her cheeks. "But you're right. Sorry sweetie. We'll miss you."

"I'll be home for a couple of weeks at Christmas." Briana replied turning to hug her father. Sean couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his dad was hugging Briana so tightly that her face was turning blue. Briana was staring daggers at him over Nick's shoulders. Though he was sad to see his sister go, it was a little consolation that she was facing this humiliation. 

Her dad finally let her go and she walked into Sean's outstretched arms. For a fifteen year old, he was very tall. Briana tucked her head under his chin holding him tight.

"Remember what I said?" He whispered into her hair.

Briana nodded her head fighting the tears that threatened to turn into full blown bawling. 

"Thanks and happy birthday in advance." She whispered back, turning to pick up her suitcase. Sean would turn sixteen in just two days. Too bad she wasn't going to be around for his birthday. Almost all her stuff and car had already been sent ahead. She therefore had only one suitcase to handle.

"Don't forget to call as soon as you land. And say hi to Cole." Nick said. She hadn't told her parents about her and Cole yet. Cole had called to assure them that he was going to meet her at the airport and help her settle in on campus.

"And eat well. Go to all your classes and do all your assignments." He mother added.

"Ok Mom." She gave Elaine a final hug, turned and walked through the airport towards departure.

One hour, two bottles of Coca Cola and a bar of snickers later their plane was finally taxiing down the runway. Briana fiddled with her Mp3, she stuck her ear phones in her ears, relaxed her seat, closed her eyes and allowed her mind to wash over with memories of the last time she had seen Cole. And that was exactly two months, one week and three days earlier. And what a fantastic day it had been. She actually remembered it like it was just yesterday. After all, she had given her very first blowjob...

***

He was to fly back to LA that evening. As early as seven in the morning, Briana had left home with an excuse of spending the day with Julia, one of her close friends and driven over to a very posh hotel to meet Cole. For the past three weeks, they had been inseparable. Fucking like bunnies whatever chance they got and getting to know each other very well. Briana had gotten on the pill so could comfortably enjoy herself without any unexpected surprises. They had planned on spending the whole day together, just ordering room service and fucking each other's brains out. Cole met her at the lobby with a huge grin on his face.

"Hey babe."

"Hey sexy." She replied with a naughty look.

Cole laughed and steered her straight towards the elevator. Whiles waiting for the elevator, Briana unabashedly checked out Cole by allowing her gaze to slide over him. He wore dress slacks in light slate gray and a black V-neck sweater, the overall effect being one of careless sophistication. She loved the look on him and was attracted to the softness it gave him, even though she knew it was only an illusion. He was a hard man in a lot of ways. She was constantly awed by his gorgeousness and raw sex appeal and she couldn't help but want him anytime he was this close to her. Her eyes darkened with want.

Cole turned to look at Briana and smirked at the look of pure lust on her face. 

"Stop that."

"What?" She asked breathlessly.

"You know what." He replied with unrepressed lust in his voice. More than anything, he wanted to fuck her hard and deep right there in the lobby. 'Down boy' he told himself. 'It's not even eight yet for heaven's sake.' The elevator finally arrived and they stepped in but even before the doors closed, he was turning her around and devouring her mouth with all the intensity he felt. Taken completely off-guard, it was a couple of seconds before she reacted to the kiss, parting her lips to kiss him right back. Thank God they were in the elevator alone. The kiss was wild. When she began to make those erotic little whimpers in the back of her throat he knew he'd accomplished his goal. She was already hot for him. And Lord, the sounds made him ache to be inside her.

His hand moved on her thigh underneath her dress. When he began to caress the sensitive skin near the junction of her legs she moved against him restlessly. His fingers slipped beneath the edge of her panties, and he slowly began to stoke the fire in her. He knew just how much pressure to exert, just where to touch to drive her wild. She let out a ragged moan when his fingers thrust inside her. "Easy, baby," he whispered when she tried to stop him. "Don't fight it, Bri. Let it happen."

He held her tight against him and continued his sweet torture. His fingers were magical, demanding. He moved to suck on her earlobe and Briana was soon mindless to everything but finding her release. "I love the way you respond to me. You get so hot, so wet. It's all for me, isn't it, Briana?" She couldn't answer him. He was becoming more forceful with his demands and she was coming unglued. She couldn't stop the climax. It happened before she realized it was going to happen. Her hands reached down to hold his hand between her thighs, and she tightened around him by drawing her knees up and squeezing him tight. It was a shattering orgasm. Briana went limp from the wonder of it. She fell against Cole's chest in blissful surrender.

When she was calm enough, she sighed and moved to pull out of his embrace, but he wouldn't let her. He pulled her into his arms and just held her close, running his fingers through her hair. He smelled so good. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms about him absorbing his warmth and his strength. For a moment time seemed to stand still. He held her for a long time against his body, breathing deeply, as though he was struggling for some kind of control. She could tell he wanted her as she could feel his hot erection throbbing against her belly, still trapped within the confines of his slacks.

The elevator doors were opened behind Cole but fortunately there was nobody waiting to use it. Briana was grateful for that. Why did he always do this to her? She seemed to forget her surroundings whenever she was with him.

"We have to stop doing this." She whispered.

"Sorry. But it is your fault. You seem to bring out the beast inside me without much effort." Cole said leading her out of the elevator towards the suite he had booked for them for the day.

Briana felt warm inside hearing Cole admit to finding her irresistible.

"Yeah blame it on me won't you." She said laughing. She had told him about Sean seeing them having sex and Cole's response had surprised her. He told her calmly that Sean is a dude and that he'll get over it. But he had called to speak to Sean later. What he told him, she doesn't know but whatever he had said, seemed to have made her brother happy. After talking to Cole, Sean had smilingly told her that she had his maximum support in the relationship. If possible, she had fallen even deeper in love with Cole. But she had also made him promise to ensure they are careful at other times.

"Why can't you ensure that?" Cole had asked teasingly.

"Well I can't think straight where you're concerned and you know it."

"Really? And you think I can think straight? I'm the guy here Bri. Come on!" He had replied starting to spread tiny kisses all over her face.

She laughed and pointed out that he was also supposed to be the eldest among the two of them and logically, the most sensible. It looked like Cole wasn't going to heed her advice after all. Surprisingly she realizes she rather found it thrilling when they take such chances. Obviously the trill is in knowing you can get caught. Who would have thought reserved Briana Scott had such a naughty streak in her. She smiled to herself.

Cole led the way along the short corridor, stopping when he reached the door at the end. And after fitting the keycard into the slot with a deftness born from an obvious innumerable stays in innumerable plush hotels, he ushered Briana into the room.

Briana was impressed with the suite. She saw the huge bed replete with green and cream embroidered cushions and threw herself on it. There, over by the elaborately dressed windows, was a perfectly coordinated green and cream striped sofa. And to the left, was a partially open door to the en suite bathroom, allowing a glimpse of shining chrome, gleaming tiles—and the Jacuzzi.

Cole threw his key card down on the dining table and turned to look at Briana on the bed. Their eyes locked and her breath caught. Cole's eyes were smoldering and he was watching her with a heavy-lidded gaze like he wanted to eat her alive. His tongue slid leisurely along the seam of his lips, as if he tasted her. She knew that look so well ...knew what came after it ...knew how ferocious he could be when he wanted her that badly. It was a look that screamed SEX. Hard, deep, endless, mind-blowing sex. His look conveyed how hard and deep he wanted to fuck her and a delicious shiver moved through her. As they stared at each other, his gaze warmed to scorching heat. 

"Take your clothes off." Cole ordered in a husky voice.

Briana felt her heart start pounding. She licked her lips, which had suddenly gone dry. She stood up and striped...all the while aware of Cole's intense gaze on her. 

Cole couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked absolutely delicious and he couldn't go a second longer without having her.

'Fuck, I want to be inside her so bad.' He thought to himself.

Growling possessively, he lifted her into his arms and deposited her gently in the middle of the bed, even as he captured her mouth hungrily. 

"I'm sorry baby but I gotta have you now," he said breathlessly. "Next time we'll go slow but right now..." he groaned again and gave her a quick kiss on the lips as he quickly undid his pants and released his hard throbbing cock. Spreading her open, he plunged inside, filling her, his thick, hard cock stroking inside her pussy and gliding over her quivering clit, sending hot sensation streaking out from the center of her pleasure. She felt every inch of him pushing and thrusting in and out of her. Cole's fingers slid between then to touch her clit which was hot and swollen and he stroked her with speed, pressure and rhythm required to bring her to orgasm within seconds.




Velvet Heat Ch. 02



"Oh God!" she cried as her body convulsed with release. Hot rolling pleasure poured from the place where he pounded into her and spread throughout her body. The waves of her pleasure carried him over the cliff he had been struggling to hold on to, waiting for her to cum first. She felt the hot bust inside her and wrapped her legs around him to hold him deep inside as his cries mingled with hers.

Much later, he slid out of her, stripped out of his remaining cloths and pulled her under the covers. He slid in beside her, pulling her body to him, cradling her in his warmth, they fell into a deep, satisfied sleep. 

***

Briana woke up about an hour later and realized she was in bed alone. 'Where was Cole?' she wondered. She heard sounds coming from the bathroom mere seconds before Cole exited the bathroom, naked as the day he was born, hard as steel, and strutted right past the bed to his pants on the sofa to take out his cell phone. She'd never seen anything so blatantly sexual or boldly masculine.

Briana's eyes followed him, caressing over rippling pectorals, tight abs, the chiseled cut of his pelvis, and zeroed in on the massive shaft, which had given her so much pleasure, jutting imperiously from between his legs. It was simply mouthwatering and she wondered how it will feel like inside her mouth. Now where had that thought come from?

He felt her stare, almost as tangible as her hand, and he smirked, taking his eyes off the phone to give her one of his charming smiles.

"See anything you like?" he purred.

Briana blushed and covered her head with a pillow making Cole laugh. She was so cute. Picking up the phone on the desk in the room, he called down to order them some food. Not knowing her preferences, he settled on several small dishes that they could share, as well as a bowl of strawberries and a bottle of white wine. 

He went to the bed and picked up Briana, making her squeal, her hand quickly going behind his neck. Cole walked slowly towards the bathroom, all the while, nuzzling her neck. She felt the wet, smooth slide of his tongue on her skin, and she squeezed her eyes shut. Heat spread from that damp path on her neck, down over her breasts, and further down to begin a low ache at her core. 

"You smell so damn good, Bri." He murmured heatedly against her skin. 

"Taste good, too." He added, depositing her into the Jacuzzi. He sat on the edge looking at her.

"Aren't you going to join me?"

"I will in a moment. Just wanna reply quickly to some mails whiles waiting for the room service. Will join you immediately it's delivered. In the meantime, think about me." He said, giving her a hot kiss and turning to leave the bathroom.

"As if I could do anything else." Briana murmured. 

"I heard that." Cole shouted back with a laugh.

Smiling, Briana twisted her hair on top of her head and pressed the button for the bubbles. Then she closed her eyes, relaxed and did what she does best...think about Cole.

No sooner had Cole finished replying to the last mail than there was a knock at the door. He hastily pulled on a fluffy white robe from the closet before admitting the teenage waiter and his trolley. He nodded without listening when the boy spoke and pressed a hefty tip into his palm. "Thank you," he said, "that will be all."

Almost hurriedly he closed and locked the door, turning to look at the spread.

"Would you like a glass of wine?" He asked loudly.

"Yes," Briana replied, "I would love one, thank you."

He poured them each a glass of wine, went to give Briana one of the glasses and set the other on the small table beside the tub. Shrugging off his robe, he eased into the steamy, swirling water. Her body drifted gently closer to his as he settled back against the edge of the Jacuzzi, picking up his wineglass in one hand and moving to put his other arm around her. She leaned willingly forward to allow his arm to slip behind her, her body curling naturally against his. He felt her breast brushing his side as he held up his glass to her in a toast.

"To a wonderful day," he said softly, and she repeated the same. Smiling, he lifted his glass and sipped at the wine.

"Oh, that's nice," she said, pleased, taking another sip. "Isn't it too early for this? Hope you're not trying to get me drunk Mr. Adams."

Cole laughed and dropped a kiss on her tip of her nose. "I guess I have to feed you soon or else I'll have a drunk teenager on my hands."

She laughed, setting her almost-empty glass on the nearby table. She touched his cheek briefly and he was startled at how cool her hand was, given the heat of the hot tub. "Don't worry," she said, "I know you'll take good care of me."

He smirked at her, and he too set his glass on the table. "Don't be too sure darling," he said, before suddenly grabbing her and pulling her into his lap. "My intensions are not honourable."

She startled, as he knew she would, but she quickly relaxed against him. Sitting across his legs, she leant against his chest and rested her head on his shoulder. He felt the feather-light touch of her lips on his neck and sighed softly. He removed the bun from atop her head letting her long, black hair tumble down her shoulder and into the water. Her run his fingers through her tresses for a long time making her relax completely. He ran his fingers slowly and gently up and down her arm, his other hand holding her against him so that the swirling water wouldn't move her away. They were both quiet for several moments; the only sound the faint whir of the jets and the soft splashing of the water against the sides of the tub.

"What are you thinking?" Cole asked softly.

"Nothing. I... I'm...I don't know how I'm going to cope when you leave." Briana said in a small voice.

"Oh Baby I've been wondering the same thing. At least I have work to keep me occupied. I'll still miss having you in my arms." He replied dropping kisses on top of her head and stroking her back. The urge to cry was overwhelming and she didn't fight it. It felt good to get it out. All the tension seemed to flow out of her as she sobbed.

"Angel ..." Cole's arms tightened around my waist, soothing her with the protective shield of his body. "Don't cry ...God. I can't take it. Please Bri." He hated this feeling of helplessness.

"You'll be right back in my arms, where you belong in two months." Cole assured her whiles he kept rubbing her back and encouraging her to be strong. She calmed down eventually, feeling relieved and light headed.

She sat up and their eyes met. His hand slid up her arm to her shoulder and around behind her neck. The tips of his long fingers slipped into her hair as he cupped the back of her neck, drawing her closer to him and wiping off her tears. Her eyes drifted slowly closed and he watched, noticing the way her wet lashes lay against her cheeks, seeing her tongue slip between her lips and moisten them before disappearing back into her mouth. Unable to resist, he covered her lips with his, tasting her salty tears. She kissed him back with so much fire, her arms slowly coming up to curl around his neck, holding him close. He could almost feel her heart pounding in her breast as her chest pressed against his, though he couldn't help but to chuckle as those blue eyes opened and looked up at him all red and glazed. 

"You're getting drunk Bri. Come on let's get some food into you." Cole said getting out of the Jacuzzi.

He quickly dried himself up and pulled on his robe. Then he pulled Briana up, the water dripping off her soft curves and from the underside of her swaying breasts, and helped her step up out of the tub. Her skin goose pimpled in the chilly air so he quickly dried her off - kissing each of her nipples as he bent down to dry her legs - before spinning her around to dry her back.

He ran the towel down her back and let it fall to get caught between him and her arse as he ran his hands over her cool skin to cup her breasts from behind.

"I thought we were going to eat." She giggled.

"Sorry ma'am, couldn't be helped." He chuckled.

She laughed as he finished drying her, then draped her robe over her shoulders. Cole bent to give her a quick kiss but her lips parted and her tongue came out to traced delicately along his upper lip, and then she was gently sucked his lower lip into her mouth.

His cock throbbed between them and he held her tightly. He felt her squirm slightly against him, and finally pulled his lips from hers, as they both took a deep, ragged breath.

"Bri...later" Cole breathed in her ear. "Come sweet."

Briana pouted. "Alright," she finally said, sounding disappointed, but not angry. She was tipsy and extremely horny and the last thing on her mind was food. But Cole propelled her into the room and pulled out a chair at the table for her to sit down. He had ordered about six dishes. There was Omelet, Tuna in a Caper sauce, Albondigas which is meatballs, Asparagus in garlic, Shrimp and Crab meat stuffed Pimento, Mussels in white wine and Adobo Pork Chops. There were also small cups of soup and fragrant smelling bread and butter. The soup had wild rice and mushrooms and tasted of fall—rich and earthy.

He looked at her for a moment. "You like fish, right?"

She laughed and nodded before attacking the Tuna with her fork and stuffing a piece in her mouth. "Oh my God," she moaned as she closed her eyes and allowed the full flavours of the fish and Capers to wash over her taste buds, "This is incredible."

Briana opened her eyes again to go for more food, but instead found Cole staring at her, his dark brown eyes almost black with desire. "What?" She asked as she began to lick her lips slowly. 

"Did I get some on my mouth?"

Cole shook his head and cleared his throat. "Have some Asparagus," he said, but his voice sounded rough.

She smiled and used her fork to spear some of the vegetables and place them on her plate. She picked up one of the velvet green asparagus spears dripping in hot and shining melted butter and placed the tip against my lips, slowly pushing it into my mouth before sucking off all the garlic butter. She continued this with the entire stalk, licking and sucking at the garlic sauce before eating the vegetable, never taking her eyes off the man in front of her. The juices run luxuriously down her chin with some of the butter dripping down her cleavage. She smiled demurely and glancing down at her tits, languorously wiped away a drip of butter from her cleavage. Briana then carefully and deliberately sucked each long butter covered finger in turn and licked her lips in anticipation of the next one. Cole stared with animal lust and open-mouthed joy at her unabashed antics with the asparagus and Briana realized she was getting a heady thrill watching his breath quicken and his eyes widen every time her tongue poked out to lick her lips.

"I love these things," she said as picked up another stalk. "Aren't you going to eat?" She asked innocently as he shifted in his seat once more. He nodded and smiled, this time wickedly and her pulse rate kicked up a notch.

Without speaking he plucked a meatball from the plate between us and regarded it for a moment. Then, looking directly into Briana's eyes, he moved it to his mouth and began to lick the sauce off the meat. She shivered, aching for his magic tongue and couldn't help the tortured moan that quietly escaped her lips as she watched him. Briana was unable to resist as Cole reached over the table and fed the meatball to her, closing his eyes as she spent some time licking the remainder of the juice from his fingers.

"Bri?" He groaned and she reluctantly allowed him to take back his hand. God! How could this little girl drive him so crazy?

He shook his head. "Eat," he commanded and gestured wildly at the food. Briana made a protesting sound within her throat, not wanting to play this game anymore when it was obvious they both just wanted to be naked and fucking wildly.

She piled food on her plate and started shoveling it in her mouth, not caring what it was because her head was filled with images of Cole, on top of her and oh God, In Her.

He was laughing as she ate, taking his time with small bites of food and washing them down with his wine, but she didn't care. She was desperate for him and she suddenly became concerned that he had somehow managed to calm his raging hormones down. Well, she couldn't have that. So she placed her fork on her plate with finality, reached across the table and grabbed his hand once again.

Briana held it for a moment, turning it this way and that, before raising it to her lips and drawing his index finger deep into her mouth and sucking hard enough to feel the blood pumping underneath his skin.

"Oh Lord," he choked out as she swirled her tongue over the tip before taking his finger in all the way to the knuckle. His eyes went black with desire and he almost dropped his fork on the floor. She slowly released his finger, sliding her tongue along the sensitive underside as she let it fall from her mouth.

"Come here," he commanded hoarsely.

Briana knew what she wanted to do and was determined to do it. She walked slowly over to him and turning his chair, got down on her knees in front to him. He reached out and ran his fingers through her hair. She was scared she wouldn't please Cole but was determined to try.

"I want to taste you Cole." She said shyly blushing deeply. 'She really had to stop doing that!' She thought to herself.

Cole took her face in his hands and looked at her intently. "You really want to, don't you?"

At her nod, he leaned over and kissed her gently. 

"You're full of surprises!" He ran a finger over her lips, making her shiver involuntarily. He smiled at her, a gleam in his eye. 

"Go for it." He said huskily, letting go of her and sitting back.

Briana untied Cole's belt with trembling hands and leaned forward to spread kisses on his chest. She attacked his nipples, one with her mouth and the other with her fingers bringing a roar from deep within his chest. Inching down, her lips and tongue explored each and every ripple on his abdomen. Cole's breathing came in gasps as Briana worshiped his body. Her lips moved down to his bellybutton and she gave it a tongue-fucking he wasn't going to forget anytime soon. 

"Christ" he groaned, and closed his eyes, spreading his legs to give her more room as she continued her loving trip down his body. She finally took his cock in her hand and as she looked at his length, she marveled again at how large it was and she was surprised once again at her ability to accommodate him. Her fingers could barely wrap around it, and yet, inside of her he felt just right. 'But could she fit him inside her mouth?' She wondered.

She leaned forward and took a deep breath to gather her nerves, and tentatively, while Cole's eyes were still closed, placed her mouth over the head of his cock, and sucked on it gently, running her tongue over the tip.

"Whoa... Bri." His eyes fly open, his hips jumping off the chair in need and she sucked harder. He groaned, and she looked up at his passion-filled eyes smiling a little devilishly. She pulled away then and moved down to kiss his thighs. Slowly she worked her way up his inner thighs right towards his cock, licking him from base to tip.

"Oh... baby... that feels so good," he murmured. She sucked harder, flicking her tongue across the head of the velvety spongy tip, her tongue flicking the tiny hole, tasting his arousal. Briana opened her mouth wider to take in as much of Cole's cock as she could, and gagged as it hit the back of her throat. 

"Easy baby." Cole murmured reaching down to brush her hair to the side. She looked up and saw he was watching her, staring in absolute rapture as she went down on him. It was obvious to her she was driving him crazy, and he was trying very hard not to lose it.

Briana slowly drew her mouth up the shaft, creating a tense suction. As she released Cole's dick and started to nibble up and down the underside of it, he let out a strangled cry, struggling to maintain control. Smiling, Briana put his cock back into her mouth, sucking up and down the shaft quickly.

"Fuck!" he growled.

Cole watched with heavy-lidded eyes as Briana's tongue darted out and licked the tip of his dick. She made a soft noise of pleasure and reached between his legs to cup his balls. His head fell back, his breath heaving in and out. The sight of her between his legs drove him insane. Seeing those lush pink lips stretch around the thick head, watching her eyes grow dark with desire. As good as it felt, it was the knowledge that she loved pleasing him this way that made it so damn hot.

As she looked up into his heated stare, she could tell that he was terribly turned on by the way she was taking control of the situation. She could feel his desire, but also the strange sense of power she had over him. Her pussy tightened, hard, and her heart started pounding. She was so damn horny she was right on the edge. She had no idea giving pleasure could be such a turn-on, watching him writhe subtly with carnal longing.

Gasping, Cole straightened up, trying to pull Briana off his shaft.

"I...I'm gonna...oh shit," Cole breathe heavily. Briana continued to suck rapidly, bob, twist and swirl her tongue around the swollen tip, knowing full well what was just round the corner. Cole cried out as he lost control, shooting load after load of hot, sticky cum into Briana's mouth and down her throat. She tried to take as much of it as she could before gagging and releasing Cole's dripping penis from her mouth. Briana wiped her chin and sat on her heels, waiting for Cole to regain control. She had just given her first blow job and she was feeling really smug about it.

Sitting upright, Cole exhaled sharply. He was still spotting a huge erection. He pulled Briana up, staring at her with an intensity that wiped the smug look off her face.

"Part your legs for me." Cole whispered. She opened her legs as she stood transfixed, watching his face.

Cole slid his fingers into her already wet pussy. Stroking in and covering his fingers with her juices as she stood there with parted lips, going out of her mind with want. He spread Briana's folds and gently stroked her swollen clit. He untied her belt and pushed the robe to fall around her feet. He then turned her around brought her down almost to a sitting position in his lap to straddle him.

"Take my cock inside you Briana."

Briana spread her legs and reached in between them to grasp his cock and position it at her pulsing entrance. Cole braced her by holding her waist until she had settled herself down, taking all of his hardness inside her. He slid his ass forward to allow her to lean back on his chest. He snaked his arm around her and felt for her clit, circling it slowly as she rode him. 

Briana felt herself coming apart but kept pulling up and thrusting down, feeling every inch of his shaft impaling her, taking him so deep inside her as his fingers continued to massage her aching clit. His other hand moved to caress her jiggling breasts and stroked my nipples. With the sound of his own pleasured groans ringing in her ears, she cried out, feeling herself at the very edge. Her moans mingled with Cole's husky voice.

"Cum for me Bri." Cole groaned as he rocked his hips up into her pulsing cunt. 

Her control shattered as he simultaneously squeezed her clit and nipple and fucked her even harder. She screamed as her body quivered and convulsed about him. It was intense and prolonged as he continued to thrust inside of her, driving her higher and higher forcing keening cries from her lips even as she kept grinding down on his cock.

Feeling his fingers franticly rubbing her swollen clit, Briana felt the bursting desire spread from between her thighs where Cole impaled her with his throbbing hardness, throughout her body as she kept coming. Her voice was hoarse from all the screaming. She lost count of the number of orgasms she had. She just knew she couldn't take anymore.




Velvet Heat Ch. 02



"Please Cole." She pleaded helplessly.

He pulled her face towards him and kissed her passionately. Then she felt it - the hot burst of Cole's cum bathing the inside of her hot pulsing hole and heard him sigh with satisfaction against her neck as she leaned back into his chest, eyes closed, feeling the tremors fade into warmth and savoring the raw sensations in her body. 

"Are you all right?" Cole asked her quietly after they both seemed to come down.

Briana's eyes flew open at his words.

"Mm...I think we'll have to do that again," she said, her voice soft and sexy.

"You are insatiable." Cole laughed hugging her tight. "And incredible." He added in a whisper, kissing the top of her head.

She barely felt him lift her in his arms and carry her to the bed. All she felt was his warmth and his scent. Cole deposited her in the middle of the bed; the soft mattress cradling her. He then went to the bathroom for a washcloth to clean her up. Then he gathered her into his arms.

Cole could still not get the image of Briana on her knees in front of him out of her mind, try as he might. He made a sound in his throat and held her tighter.

"Bri...what...how...What got into you? Don't get me wrong, I truly loved all that you did...it was just such a complete surprise to me. Are you sure you've never done that before?" Cole asked in mock doubt. 

She gave him a shy smile...

"I'm just as surprised as you are. Your hot body really turns me on." She said teasingly. "It just seemed like what I was supposed to do. Caught up in the moment, it just came naturally to me I guess." She added on a more serious note.

Cole noticed that Briana looked worried. "What's wrong baby?" 

"...How was it? I mean, was I ok?" She asked anxiously. 

"Did you seriously just ask me that?" He asked incredulously, "God baby" Cole ground out tilting up her chin to look into her worried eyes, "That was... exceptionally good, electrifying. I thought I was gonna have a stroke! I've never felt a passion like we just shared - you took control and made me feel an exciting sexual pleasure that I have never known. Thank you."

He brushed her hair from her cheeks and kissed her tenderly. She felt such relief and a burst of warmth at his words she wanted to shout with joy. Pushing her fingers into his hair to hold him still, she kissed him for all she was worth, her tongue sliding along his and stroking, causing their breaths to quicken. Cole groaned into her mouth, an erotic sound of pleasure and need that vibrated through her. Tilting his head, he sealed those beautifully sculpted lips over hers and deepened the kiss till they both had to come up for air. 

"I love you Cole," she whispered against his beautiful mouth. "I love you so much it feels like my chest will explode, like I have to stop sometime and take a deep breath or my head will start to swim."

She felt him tense against her and quickly added, "You don't have to say it back. I just wanted you to know how I feel. I don't know how I'm going to survive with you gone. I miss you alr..." 

"Say that again." He demanded desperately. 

"I miss y..."

"Not that part Bri. I already know you'll miss me. What you sa..."

"I love you. I guess I've loved you for a very long time."

He gently drew her close for the sweetest of kisses, his firm lips moving gently on hers. He relished every sensation as he held her close; the soft feel of her skin, the scent of her hair, the way she breathed. He wrapped his arms about her tightly, delighting in the warmth of her body, the feel of her soft curves, trying to memorize everything about her, to take him through the coming two months without her. 

And till they left the hotel to enable Cole catch a fight back to LA, they made good use of their time together. Usually making love to Briana was fast, hurried, needy, like there was no tomorrow. But because of the coming months of tormented separation, Cole wanted to savor every second, every kiss and every touch. He took his time making love to her for the rest of their time at the hotel. He couldn't take his eyes off her face. He wanted to remember every look of ecstasy that crossed her features. He knew deep down he cared for her a lot. He had to make this work, no matter what.

Briana on the other hand, though was mentally counting down the hours when he'd have to leave, enjoyed every moment of their time together. 

***

Briana sighed and suppressed a shiver. She noticed that her nipples had tightened and could feel the inevitable trickle along her pussy lips. She was so damn horny she needed some relief --and fast! And to think all she had to do was think about their time together to get into this state. This was getting out of control. 

She had just picked up her luggage after getting off the plane. Getting through security had taken a surprisingly short time and she started pulling her suitcase on its wheels behind her. Following the crowd she eventually came to the top of the escalator and looked down trying to see whether she could spot Cole amongst the people. He wasn't difficult to spot. Every woman regardless of age turned to look at him as they walked past him. And the best part of it was that he was just standing there, looking straight at HER. Damn, he looked so good in a black long sleeved polo shirt with the buttons undone, on denim jeans and a black back buckle military boots. Briana felt the looks of some of the women on her- probably trying to find out what or who had the attention of the Adonis. She knew how they were feeling and enjoyed the fact that he was hers.

Cole had seen Briana before she saw him. If anything, she was looking more beautiful and sexy than the last time he had seen her. The sexy purple strapless mini dress with an empire waist looked amazingly hot on her. Her black knee high boots which gave her an extra two inches of height completed her sexy look. She was dazzling. She felt his gaze as it slowly traveled down her body. Her nipples hardened as he caressed her with his eyes. Liquid heat pooled between her legs as his eyes lingered on her bare thighs. 

His smile practically lit up the whole area, the cheeky grin that came naturally to him flashed across to meet the gaze of the beautiful young woman standing at the top of the escalator. But his smile faltered when he saw her staring right at him, with THAT look on her face. He gasped.

Briana hadn't meant for him to catch her staring with all that heat, but now that she had his attention, she couldn't take her eyes away. He looked absolutely edible. She'd forgotten how gorgeous he was. She noticed a small, predatory grin spread across his lips. That was all the signal she needed. She stepped off the escalator and with a small squeak, ran over to him and threw herself into his arms, narrowly avoiding knocking over a couple in the process. He opened his arms to receive her warm embrace, stumbling backwards with the force of her 'tackle-hug'.

"Oh my God," Briana breathed, riveted. "You are so fucking hot."

Laughing loudly at her outburst, Cole hugged her back tightly. "I've missed you too Angel."

She tilted her head back to look up into his eyes, and saw all the emotions written there for her to read. She parted her glossy lips to run her tongue along them. "Christ, Bri..." She heard a very guttural groan from Cole just as he leaned his head down to take her lips. With a soft growl, their lips met and the fire ignited. They had waited two months for this and Cole knew he would never be able to get enough. Their lips parted and the two tongues began entwining around one another, dancing together. His hands went to her back, pulling her in closer. Her left hand fell to his waist, holding on tight; while the other came to rest on his hip. They completely forgot about everyone.

Briana had almost forgotten just how good a kisser Cole was. He leaned even further in whilst moving one hand up to run his fingers through her soft, silky hair. She responded in kind, gently biting his lower lip as she leaned back into him. It didn't take too long for a bulge to appear in his trousers, just close enough to her hand for her to feel the movement in his jeans. Someone gave a piercing whistle which penetrated Cole's conscience and with a ragged breath, he tried to pull back. He laughed shakily when Briana whimpered and refused to let him go. 

"We have to get out of here Bri," Cole said in a low voice. 

Briana looked up and noticed that people were staring at them and blushed furiously. He made her so horny she couldn't see straight. Cole grabbed her suitcase and jacket which had fallen to the floor in one hand, grabbed her hand in the other and steered her towards the set of double doors leading to the entrance area of the airport. She followed him in a daze. She didn't even notice the people staring and smiling at them as they passed. They made a lovely couple -- who obviously couldn't keep their hands off each other.

The lights of a large silver SUV that was parked at a deserted spot flashed and the rear hatch lifted at the push of a button. Cole placed her suitcase inside and closed the hatch, walking around to the passenger side to open the door for her. He reached out to steady her as she stepped in. He got into the car, turned on the engine but did not put the car into gear. For a while they didn't say anything to each other.

"Are you ok?" he asked softly.

"I'm sorry about what happened back there." Briana whispered shakily. "Thank you for being the sensible one and stopping it before we went too far!"

"Oh God baby," Cole groaned pulling her into his lap, "I'm as much to be blamed as you." He started kissing her all over her face. "I started it remember?"

Briana whimpered trying to capture Cole's lips in a kiss. But he wasn't done kissing every inch of her face. "When I'm around you I can't seem to think straight and that fucking scares me Bri." No woman had ever made him feel like this. Suddenly she felt his hands grab her head and tilt it back. The desire in his eyes was the last thing she saw before his lips began to devour hers.

Sliding her hands up over his chest she moaned at his touch. She adjusted herself to straddle him and pushed her hips out against his hardness begging him with her body. All she could think about was having him inside her. She felt his hand on her thigh and lifted her leg to wrap around his waist. His hand continued its journey upwards. Cole gasped as he realized she had nothing on under the dress. If it was possible, he got even harder. As confident and in-control as he let her believe, he was really in shock. 

"Don't tell me you came all the way without panties..." He said with a gleam in his eyes. 

Briana blushed and then stared him in the eyes defiantly, "And what if I did?" She shot back feeling very wanton. Cole chuckled at that and ran a finger over her lips, making her shiver involuntarily.

"You never cease to surprise me you little minx!" He said kissing her gently. But he was feeling anything but gentle. He felt his control slipping away.

Cole drew down the neckline of Briana's outrageously low-cut strapless dress exposing her creamy breasts. Her nipples hardened powerfully in the cool air inside the car, her need strong to have them touched. She could hear his sighs of pleasure as he swept his hand over her pliant skin whiles his thumb slid over one sensitive nipple and then the other. 

The furnace of his wet mouth slid from her throat down her collarbone and onto the flesh of the breast, making damp circles. He circled downward on the delicate skin with his tongue taking possession of a nipple, sucking softly and then more strongly. His tongue flicked the nipple against his teeth, insistently shocking her with bolt after bolt of pleasure. She arched her back to lean into his mouth for more of his mouth as she cried out in carnal lust. He suckled strongly on one nipple and then the other, pulling on them until both were painfully erect. Her hips thrust forward by themselves and Briana was conscious only of the powerful rippling sensations engulfing her body.

He slowly spread his muscular legs between her soft thighs, irresistibly opening her legs widely. Her dress slid up to her waist and exposed her completely. Suddenly his palm covered her heat and he squeezed making her moan in anticipation. A finger lightly caressed her damp cleft and pressed deeper whiles his thumb rubbed against her excited clit, drawing out a loud moan from her. 

Although Cole would have loved to continue his explorations, he knew they didn't have that luxury due to their location. He withdrew his fingers and ignoring the sound of protest she made, licked and sucked his fingers, tasting her juices.

"Delicious as always." The pleasure in his voice caressed her. He tipped her head forward and brought her lips once more to his. She opened her mouth under his and could taste herself on his tongue. She shuddered in reaction. 

"Don't you dare leave me like this Cole," she said helplessly.

He looked into her eyes and she could see passion written across his face like pain, his breath hard, panting. His mouth locked on hers in complete abandon and she sucked on his tongue as he ripped his trousers open to free his painfully hard flesh from its prison. 

Slipping a hand under her firm arse he lifted and pulled her forward to impale her with the full power of his heavily erect cock. He moaned harshly as he slid into her wet depths, feeling himself stretching her walls. She was tight and he was large and she gasped somewhere between pleasure and pain. She grabbed onto his shoulders tightly, shuddering as he filled her. His eyes lost focus with the pleasure as he pulled her onto his entire length and rocked her forward to take her as deep as he could go. His hips rose and fell driving his cock into her depths in a powerful rhythm as he fucked her. He pounded and pounded into her with deep mindless strokes. Withdrawing almost to the tip only to plunge back into her with a harsh grunt, he drove himself into her again and then again. Her breasts bounced with each of his thrusts. He gripped a breast and took it hungrily into his mouth, sucking at the nipple to bring her more pleasure.

"Oh GOD!" she cried out.

He released her nipple to chuckle into her ear. "No it's just me."

"God I missed you" she replied gasping.

"Same here," he returned.

Even as he continued to thrust, deep then shallow, then deeper and stronger and harder, he realized that she was thrusting back just as strongly. He could hear the slaps of flesh against wet flesh and lifted his head to lock eyes with her heated ones as he pumped into her. Their panting breaths matched tempo as they both approached climax. He felt the deep tightening pleasure in his balls and he knew he was ready to spill into her hungry flesh. His breath hissed between his teeth, and he groaned... he was close, right at the edge ... 

Suddenly she felt a glorious shiver starting in her womb, radiating out to her aching breasts, her fingers and her toes. She moaned incoherently her body convulsing, her heart pounding, her skin vibrating with pleasure. She tightened around him in repeated spasms as she crested then fell into wave after wave of pleasure. A cry exploded from her lips as her pleasure took her. He jerked within her, his cock swelling to excruciating hardness. He pulled her down powerfully onto his cock, her ass tight against his flesh at the base. With a deep groan of ecstasy and triumph against her lips, he exploded into her depths as she shuddered around him, still in the violent grip of her own pleasure. 

They both fought for breath, trembling in aftershocks of carnal pleasure. His arms enclosed her tender body in a fierce hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burrowing into him seeking comfort as their hearts pounding against each other.

Gently, Cole lifted her from him and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his seed from her thighs. He helped her rearrange her clothes then closed his pants with a satisfied smile. He then hugged and kissed Briana gently. 

"Feel better now?" he teased.

She blushed deeply, but smiled in spite of herself. "I've been wound up all day about seeing you. I guess I got a little too tense." She hesitated. "Thank you Cole, that was really...um, intense and mind-blowing."

"I'm sorry Bri, I didn't mean to be that rough," he apologized, holding her to him and smoothing my hair.

Briana however held her finger to his lips and shook my head gently.

"No, Cole, no," she soothed him, showering his face with light kisses. "I knew exactly what I was getting into, or what was getting into me," she chuckled.

Cole laughed, kissing her tenderly and brushing away the streaks left by the tears she didn't even know she had shed.

Briana moved back to her seat, sitting down with a slight wince which Cole noticed. 

"Fuck." He exploded, which startled Briana. "Baby, I'm sorry."

"I'm okay Cole. Really!"

"Well you don't look okay to me." He growled putting the car into gear and heading out of the parking lot.

"The thing is," Briana said licking her lips before continuing carefully, "You're really big, so it's bound to hurt sometimes." She tried to explain, her voice thick with emotion. "Now I know what they mean by 'hurts so good.'"

Cole had gotten to an intersection so he turned to look at Briana intently. "You really mean that, huh?"

Briana looked away from him, nodding. "You probably think that's pretty twisted, don't you?"

"Look at me," he demanded. The tone of his voice drew her eyes back to his. "There are many ways to experience pleasure, Bri. What matters most is what you feel, not what anyone else thinks about it. It's your body." He leaned over and kissed her gently. "But I guess you got more than you bargained for." He whispered in her ear. 

Briana mock gasped and lightly punched him in the shoulder making Cole laugh. "It's not funny, Cole!" she exclaimed, trying to halt her own giggle. "And that pantie came off when I went to freshen up AFTER we landed." She added giving in to full laughter. 

"I knew you were too chicken to come all the way without one." Cole roared with laughter.

"May I remind you I have a black belt in karate Cole Adams." Briana said threateningly making Cole laugh even harder.

"You still need a good soaking to take care of your soreness. I'm taking you home for just that. I'll take you to school in the morning. Okay?"

"Ok. I guess this means the beast is taking the innocent maiden into his castle to ravish her huh?"

"Hardly innocent" Cole responded laughing at the mock outraged look on Briana's face.

"And whose fault is that counselor?" She shot back giving him a punch on his shoulder.

"Ouch" Cole said laughingly, "Hungry? We can stop somewhere on the way if you like."

She loved this man with all her heart...everything that she had. "I didn't eat much on the plane. If you don't mind I would love to stop somewhere."

"Okay. Now tell me about your flight."



Velvet Heat Ch. 03



Comments, critiques and tips are welcome.

"Check it out," the guy seated next to Briana said. He leaned way into her personal space and tapped his paper with the back of his fingertips. "The Ice Queen gave me a C minus. This is crap." 

Briana hurriedly stuffed her A minus paper into her leather portfolio. She wouldn't want to piss the guy off any further, by letting him see her grade.

"Sorry dude. I guess we all have to work harder." She climbed from her chair, getting ready to leave the hall. She headed toward the podium at the front of the room where Jessica, her roommate stood waiting for her.

Someone grabbed Briana's arm. She turned to find the guy with the C minus looking down at her hopefully. Handsome and neat in his green shirt and Dockers, he raked a hand through his sandy brown hair. "You know what can make me feel better? Join me for coffee?"

"No, thank you."

"A movie? Dinner?"

Her eyebrows drew together and she rubbed her temples tiredly. "Uhh... Taylor right?"

"I've sat next to you for almost two months and you're not even sure of my name? Yes it's Taylor."

Well, lots of guys sat next to her. She couldn't be expected to remember their names when she had zero interest in them.

"Sorry Taylor, but I am not interested. Okay? Now run along like a good boy and go chase a willing ...pretty face."

Taylor winced and covered his heart with one hand. "Ouch. The beauty has claws." He chuckled. 

"Sorry." Briana said with a laugh.

"Know what? I'm not gonna give up. Seriously. You haven't heard or seen the last of me Sweet Briana." Taylor blew Briana a kiss and turned to go.

"No you haven't." He shouted whiles walking out making Briana laugh.

"What was all that about?" Jessica asked meeting her at the door.

"Well that guy wouldn't take NO for an answer."

"Hmm...he's hot!" Jessica said batting her lashed at Briana.

"Yeah? You're welcome to him Jess." Briana howled with laughter. "Come on let's get out of here."

"What did you expect Bri? This is virtually an all-male class so enjoy all the attention. Already more than half the class has hit on you right? My own class...full of uptight wanna be lawyers is not this fun."

"Yeah what do you say we swap? Then you can make all these Engineering guys your bitches. What do you think?"

By the time they made their way to their room, they were in stitches from too much laughter.

"I am so tired. Thank God there are no lectures tomorrow." Briana threw herself on her bed with a groan.

"Yeah tell me about it." Jessica responded with a yawn. "Any plans for tomorrow? Going to spend time with my crush?"

Briana gave a small laugh. "I don't know Jess. He seems to be pretty busy these days." 

Jessica could hear the worry in Briana's voice and didn't like it.

"Come on Bri, we all know Cole is a very busy person. He must b...why don't you pay him a surprise visit in his office tomorrow?" Jessica said jumping up as if that is the most brilliant idea ever. "Think about it Bri. When was the last time you saw him?"

"More than two weeks ago Jess. And I'm missing him so much." She added wistfully.

"Well you're going there tomorrow and that is final guuurrrl. And you know why it's called a surprise right? Don't tell him Bri. Trust me on this. Have I ever steered you wrong?"

"Nope Your Highness." Briana giggled.

"Good. Now let's go find something to eat and have fun."

Briana laughed and stood to follow Jessica out. She never thought she could become this close with the 'black queen' as everybody called her on campus. But she couldn't have asked for a more perfect roommate. She was hot, beautiful, fun and most of all, a good friend. The two girls had become inseparable. Jessica's dad, Patrick Walcott, owned a number of investment banks and it was rumored that his net worth was about twenty-seven billion dollars. But Jessica Walcott was a very simple girl, who had beauty and brains. Briana loved her roommate to bits. Jessica got along perfectly with Cole, calling him her crush all the time. She always joked that anytime Briana got tired of Cole, she should simply hand him over. She was the best roommate ever!

That night Briana lay in bed restless after Jessica had gone to sleep. She didn't want to come across as a whining girlfriend so tried her best to give Cole his space. But she really did miss him. She missed his touch, his smile, his caring nature...everything. God, how she wanted him. Just the thought of him was enough to get her horny. What she wouldn't give for a...

The sudden ringing of her phone in the silence of the room startled her. But on hearing the tone, which was reserved for only Cole, her heart jumped with joy.

"Cole" She answered breathlessly.

"Hey darling, what are you up to?"

"Cole, I miss you so much. I'm..."

"Hey baby calm down." Cole said picking up on the agitation in her voice. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I was just lying here, thinking about you."

"Uh-huh. Anything good?"

"Just wishing I were in your arms right now."

"Horny are we?" Cole said with a chuckle.

"It's your fault. I wasn't that way before I ..."

"Yes you were." Cole cut her off with a chuckle. "You just didn't know it."

Cole was with some pals so excused himself and went to sit in a quiet corner. He heard Briana laughing softly.

"You've corrupted me, you know." She said quietly.

"Why, what did I do?"

"You've just got me thinking about being naked and having sex with you all the time."

"The feeling is mutual Babe. But let's see what we can do about your current..erh...situation. Where are you? In bed?"

"Yeah. Where are you?"

"At Queen's Tavern with some colleagues. Where's Jess?"

"Asleep."

"Good. Take off your nightdress Bri." He knew she always slept in a nightdress but no panties.

"Cole..." He could hear the hesitation in her voice.

"What're you embarrassed about? I just wish you were naked in my arms so we could fuck each other's brains out but you are not. So come on, work with me here. Now take it off. I know you have masturbated before so this shouldn't be... "

"Well not whiles my boyfriend's voice is in my ear." Cole could hear rustling and the creak of the bed as she moved around.

He laughed softly. "It will be even better. Trust me on that. Is it off now?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now I need you to lie on your back with your head on a pillow."

"Done."

"Are you comfortable?"

"Yes."

"Great. Are your nipples hard?"

"Any harder, and I'll need surgery."

"Baby, don't make me laugh. Get serious." He said laughing uncontrollably.

"Ok ok. Are you done yet?" She asked smiling to herself. She loved hearing Cole laugh.

"Ok I'm cool. Now I want you use you left index finger to run circles around your nipples. Just barely touch them." He gave her a second, she said nothing.

"Are you doing it?"

"Yes."

"Does it feel good?"

"Umm Hmm. Not as good and when you do it."

That made Cole smile. 

"Now lick your fingers and squeeze your nipples between your thumb and forefinger. Remember what I did to them on the balcony three weeks ago?"

"Oh God yeah."

"Now imagine me there with you, doing that. Picture me in the room, sitting at the foot of your bed."

"Oh yea," she replied. "I have a very clear mental picture of you. You are totally hot."

"You're hotter." Cole was breathing harder now and had to gather himself to go on. 

Briana could not believe a mere touch to her own nipples could generate this much sensations. She could feel every touch within her very core. And Cole's voice was making it even more exquisite. A loud moan tore out of her helplessly.

"You better be quiet," Cole said teasingly. "Unless you want to get caught, which might be kind of...hot."

'He had absolutely no shame.' Briana thought. 'No shame at all.' But she didn't care. She loved him to bits.

"Describe what you're feeling, what you're doing, for me sweetie. Can you do that?" His voice reached out to her. He was so hard he wish he could touch himself too.

"I...I don't know if I can" she stammered.

"I want to hear how you feel, every moan, every gasp. You don't get to be quiet. I want to hear it all."

"God this is embarrassing. Okay here goes...My nipples...they are extremely sensitive right now."

"Mmmmm...I want to see that, uh, I mean, yes, I can see that." He caught himself, trying to stay in the moment for her. "Your breasts are so beautiful. Your nipples are so firm."

"Ohhhh" she cried out. "It...feels so good."

"Yes, I know. Now, move your hands lower, past your stomach. Run them over your thighs. Now, I want you to spread your legs wide for me. Remember, I'm right there, at the foot of your bed, and I want to see and hear everything. Show yourself to me. Tell me what I'm seeing."

"I can't believe I'm doing this...but...I'm lying on my back and my nipples are hard as rocks. I have my legs spread apart and they're trembling. You have me so excited I can hardly stand it. My hand travel around my body and it feels so very good."

"Good. Now, I want to see more. With your one hand, reach down and spread yourself open for me."

"Oh!" she said.

"Are you doing that for me?" Cole asked.

"Yes" she whispered.

"Tell me what I see." He said.

"Cole..."

"Please, I need to know."

"What are you saying?" she asked. "Are you excited too?"

"How can you even ask that? I have a mental picture of you, lying down naked, holding yourself open for me. I'm hard as a rock. Are you wet sweetheart?"

"Very wet," she purred into the phone. 

"Describe for me what you are doing Bri." 

"I am running the tips of my fingers over the inside of my thighs at the moment. Slowly moving upwards now, lightly touching my pussy lips."

"Nice. Tell me everything your hand is doing."

"Now, I am running one finger up my slit."

Cole groaned softly. He wanted to crawl through the phone and bury his face in her sex! He missed her taste so much. 

"Run your finger softly over that swollen clit for me." He told her softly swallowing hard.

"Ahhhhh..." He heard her very audible gasp.

"Not too quickly, Baby, make it last."

"Oh my God it feels so good Cole. I wish you were here so I could suck your cock. I want your tongue my clit right now." 

"Imagine your finger is my tongue." Cole smiled. Briana was obviously too far gone she didn't know what she was saying. This uninhibited Briana was refreshing.

"I...I'm getting close..."

"Hold it off as long as you can sweetie."

"Ok. God it just feels so good. My clit...it's so swollen...my nipples are so sensitive! Cole what are you doing to me? I...I...don't think I can hold...off..."

The incoherent gurgling from her throat indicated to Cole she'd begun cumming. She was obviously trying very hard not to make any sound that would wake her roommate up.

Cole was so painfully hard he was gasping for breath and felt all hot and sweaty. He felt loads of pre-cum escape the tip of his cock. All of his body was tensed like a bow and arched. 

"You don't know how much I want you right now." He told her, a low moan escaping his lips.

A few minutes of silence went by.

"Bri you there?" He queried.

"Umm hmm, I needed that." She replied sleepily making Cole laugh softly.

"Feel better now?"

"Very much. Thank you." she said sounding shy.

"My pleasure." Cole said. "Now, sleep well beautiful and dream of me. I'll see you on Sunday okay?"

"Okay. I love you." She hanged up and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Cole sat alone for a while trying to compose himself. How the fuck was he going to be able to wait till Sunday to...

"Cole?" He heard Tyron, his very good friend and a fellow lawyer shouting his name. He stood up and walked towards him. "Dude, what happened to you? You need to come listen to the crap Matt is spewing out. Hey, you okay? You look flushed." Tyron added looking at his friend closely.

"I'll live." Cole muttered with a deep sigh. He went to join his friends thinking of how to make time to see Briana before Sunday.

***

"What?" Cole bellowed into the phone. Kayla, his executive assistant knew better than to interrupt him at this time of the day. This was the time he did what he called, strategic thinking.

"There's a lady here to see you. Claims it's very important she sees you. Says she's Lisa and that you don't know her."

"And she says it's important?" 

"Very important." Drawled her mischievous executive assistant.

"Ok send her in. And Kay, you know what to do after ten minutes..."

"I do Cole."

Cole looked up when his door opened and his mouth fell open.

"What are you doing here Bri?" He managed to get out.

"Well hello to you too. I missed you. Wanted to surprise you." Briana said with a laugh, happy she had successfully managed to put that look on Cole's face.

"Well I am surprised. And damn you're a sight for sore eyes. You look amazing baby." Cole gushed out, standing and coming around his desk to stand in front of Briana. He took her hand and twirled her around slowly so he could get a better look at her. 

Briana couldn't help but blush at the blatant lust and admiration in Cole's eyes. She knew she looked hot in her chic white dress that stopped mid-thigh. It had spaghetti straps with rows of ruffles along the bodice and an empire waist with center front ties. She had on a five inches high turquoise heel which had lace ties along the front that revealed a hint of skin, with a turquoise clutch to match, giving her a look of classic elegance. 

Cole stopped twirling Briana around and simply started at her. He stood riveted, rocked by desire so fierce he could barely string two thoughts together. He felt his cock thicken and lengthen with rousing appreciation.

Goddammit... She was hot as hell. Full-lipped, blue-eyed, long silky black hair. A fucking walking wet dream. He'd had a lot of beautiful women, but only Briana made him feel like he might die if he didn't get inside her.

His fingers sank into her hair, tilting her head back. He stared into her eyes until she thought she would die if he didn't kiss her.

"You are gorgeous". He whispered. He lowered his head and claimed her mouth in a kiss so passionate her knees went weak. He pulled back and raked his eyes over her. Then he was kissing her again. They devoured each other's mouths, hunger building fast. Cole's mouth was hot and wet, claiming Briana's for his own, then moving down to her jaw and neck, harsh sounds of want and need spilling out. Briana moaned helplessly.

His hand moved down her hips and under her dress. She shuddered when his fingers pushed into her panties and found the moist heat between her thighs. 

"You are wet," he said, as if awed by the discovery. 

Briana thrust into his hand, her own mouth hungry at his throat. "Oh God Cole please..." 

Cole felt like he was starving, needing more and needing it now, his cock impossibly hard in his trousers. He turned and pulled Briana around the desk. He knew one thing for sure. If he didn't have her now, he was going to go out of his mind.

"I need you." His mouth was sliding over her cheek and down her throat. "I need to be inside you..."

"No. My God come on Cole. Not here." But her protest sounded weak even to her own ears. She wanted him anywhere, anytime...

"It has to be here," he muttered, dropping into his chair. "It has to be now." He pushed his open laptop aside and seated her on the edge of his desk.

Cole took off her panties without taking her shoes off and his hands smoothed up her thighs, bunching up her dress. He lifted her onto the desk and stepped between her knees, working his belt without taking his eyes from hers. With desperate movements, he freed his cock and flicked his fingers over her clit drawing a gasp from her. He captured her lips in a searing kiss, slowly rubbing the tip of his cock against her wet pussy, lubricating his cock in the process and building that anticipation with every brush against her slit. He watched her eyes glaze over as he rubbed the head over her clit. She squirmed closer, impatient. Her pussy throbbed in protest of its neglect. She wanted him inside her so bad. His big, beautiful cock pounding her fast and hard. She couldn't take any more of this torture. She had to have him. 

"Take me, Cole," she said shakily, her breathing, erratic. "Now." 

Leaning back slightly he shifted his hips allowing only the crown of his cock to rest directly against the tight pink opening making her whimper in anticipation. His eyes watched hers as the swollen head slipped into the tight ring of muscle of her pussy. As he filled her body with his, he gasped brokenly as if he were already near orgasm and Briana wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles behind him.

Her head fell back in ecstasy. "That feels so good." 

"Yeah," he said, resting his head against the side of her face. "Uh, God." He thrust into her gently, rotating his hips to intensify their pleasure, his breath leaving him in primitive grunts. "Feels fucking fantastic." 

Feeling the thickness of his cock stretching her open, she almost begged for him to pound his cock into her, but she knew he was waiting for her to get used to his size before doing so. Glancing at him she met his eyes for a second before he moved forward, pushing more of his cock into her tight pussy, his head falling back in pleasure. He picked up his pace and soon there was nothing but exquisite sensations as with each movement, he pushed even deeper. 

A handful of strokes later, he dropped his head to her shoulder as he gasped her name, his hips rolling to stir her into a frenzy. A trembling moan left her and she tightened around him making him curse. Closing her eyes she met his powerful thrusts enjoying the feeling of the thick long cock filling and stretching her open for his coming assault.

"Oh Christ, Bri," Cole gasped into her neck. "I've got to warn you, I won't last long."

Moving his hands from her thighs, he held her arse in a firm grip, rocking her back slightly, her legs fell over his forearms keeping her spread wide open for his slamming thrusts, his cock coming to rest at her womb with each forward motion. She gasped loudly feeling as if she'd been struck with lightning.

She sought his mouth with hers, kissing him deeply. His strokes increased in tempo. He groaned into her mouth. She answered him with a moan. His thrusts grew faster now. He'd completely lost control. She grabbed his head, fingers digging into his scalp as her excitement began to peak. He tore his mouth away from hers. 

"God, please tell me you're close Baby. I can't hold it." 

He leaned away from her enough to reach down between their bodies. When his fingers found her aching clit and flicked it, she exploded. Knowing the wail of pleasure that was bound to erupt out of her, Cole leaned his head down and captured her mouth in a scorching wet kiss swallowing her cries. He grunted softly, thrusting into her harder and harder. A convulsive shudder wracked his powerful frame, followed by an agonized sound of ecstasy. His cock jerked inside her, once, twice, and then he was coming long and hard, spurting hotly into the clutching depths of her body, his body trembling with satisfaction.

Briana watched Cole with awe and pure female triumph. She could do this to him.

"Damn," he said, stroking her cheek, "do you have any idea what you do to me?" He murmured holding her tight. Oh she did alright. He pulled out slowly, making Briana moan. She felt Cole using a soft fabric which she knew must be a handkerchief to clean her up and she suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Let me do that myself Cole." She said trying to close her thighs but Cole prevented her from closing up and finished cleaning her up.

"You should know by now that I love taking care of you Briana Scott. Oh and that reminds me...Lisa?"




Velvet Heat Ch. 03



Briana laughed softly. "That's my middle name Cole. I didn't give your PA a fake name. Oh and that's one hot PA you've got there." She finished in a slightly accusing tone.

"Jealous?"

"You wish."

Cole laughed and gave her a kiss. "She's an ex." 

"What???"

"Is there a problem? Thought you were not jealous." Cole chuckled. Then looked up from the task of slipping Briana's panties back on her and immediately regretted joking about Kayla being an ex. Briana looked like she had been kicked in the stomach.

"Hey Baby I'm just pulling your legs." He said pulling her back into his arms. "She's just a very good friend of mine...and a damn good executive assistant. You will come to love her. Trust me." He hugged and rubbed her back till he thought she was okay. 

He didn't think this was the time to tell Briana that Kayla had actually entered the office whiles they were making love. He just knew she would freak if he did. His feisty PA had come in after Briana had been in his office for ten minutes. It was their agreed way of giving Cole an out when he had visitors. He was either to go along with whatever emergency meeting she came up with, or signal...before the ten minutes were up... that a particular guest was important.

In Briana's situation, Kayla had not been alerted by Cole...for obvious reasons. So she had barged in with a cooked up story only to find them in the throes of passion. Cole was actually surprised he had even noticed her. He hadn't heard the door open. A movement at the door had caught his eye and then his gaze had locked with Kayla's. She stood just inside the door, halted midstride, staring wide-eyed and openmouthed at them. Then she had smirked, walked in further, picked up Briana's clutch from the floor, placed it on the glass side table beside the couch, and giving him a thumbs-up, left as quietly as she had entered, the sound of her heels, muted by the carpet. He knew he was in for one hell of an inquisition.

***

Briana sat in the comfortable couch in Cole's office taking note of just how spacious the office was for the first time. There were floor-to-ceiling windows which overlooked the city on two sides, while a wall of glass, covered with blinds faced the rest of the office space. Even as she watched, Cole hit a button on his desk which opened all the blinds. There was a conference table with six chairs on the left side of the office. The one opaque wall opposite his massive desk had a flat screen which had been tuned, at the moment, to the news channel. There were two distinct seating areas with a mini bar close to one. One set of furniture was gray, whiles the other was maroon and on a plush dark blue carpet, the office looked sophisticated and elegant. 

Cole was on the phone with someone having a serious conversation so she had the chance not only to look around, but to also check him out. And Damn did he look hot! He was even yummier in his black three-piece suit with fine gray pinstripes. Seeing him from the back was a revelation. His shoulders were nicely broad without being bulky, emphasizing his lean waist and long legs. It was obvious how fit he was by the way his biceps and ass flexed as he moved, making gestures whiles talking on the phone.

He sank gracefully into his coffee brown leather chair making the leather creak and leaned back.

Just when she was thinking about how she would want to run her fingers through his short hair and kiss every inch of his body, he swiveled the chair around to face her, caught her staring at him and gave her a slow wink. God he was delicious! And the love she felt for him was so strong it scared the hell out of her.

"Listen Matt, I've gotta go. Talk to you later." Cole quickly said, hanging up the phone and moving towards Briana.

"Hey." He said softly.

"Hey yourself." She said back with a smile.

"Want something to drink?" He sat down beside her, taking her hand in his.

"No, thank you."

"Sure?" Cole said staring at her kiss swollen lips.

"Uh-huh."

He leaned in to give her a quick kiss but immediately his mouth touched hers, she sighed and brought out her tongue to lick his lower lip. He groaned and dipped his tongue inside her mouth, deepening the kiss, stroking her tongue with lush slides of his own. She felt the raging beat of his heart against her chest, and knew that if she didn't stop things, they would attract attention as the blinds were opened and therefore people could see them.

"Cole." She murmured tearing her mouth away from his.

"You are a bad influence you know that?" Cole said taking deep breaths. "I need to have a quick conference call. Have lunch with me after?"

"Okay." Briana agreed wiping Cole's lower lip with her thumb.

He went back to his desk and immediately saw the message left on his laptop by Kayla.

Kayla: You ready Cowboy?

Cole: Let's roll Brat.

Kayla: You sure you're up to this? Can you remember what you're to talk about?

Cole: Shut up!

Kayla: Lmfao! You've got it bad Cowboy. Pick up line three.

Briana relaxed into the seat flipping through a magazine whiles waiting for Cole to finish with is conference call. About ten minutes into the call the door opened and a tall elegant woman walked into the office, swaying her hips like she was on the catwalk. Not looking in Briana's direction, obviously not expecting anyone to be in the office besides Cole, walked straight to Cole, bent down and crushed his mouth with hers.

Briana gasped. Cole, though surprised, unhurriedly turned his face, breaking the kiss. He then made a gesture that he was in the middle of something. Miss Elegant left an envelope on the desk and turned to leave. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Briana staring wide eyed at her. She stared back with a haughty look and started towards Briana.

"And you are...?" She asked haughtily, looking down on her nose at Briana. But even before Briana could open her mouth to answer, Kayla barged into the office walking towards them.

"Regina, you should know better than to enter Cole's office without talking to me first."

"And was I to wait for you to come back from wherever you had disappeared to?" She asked Kayla rudely. Her dislike for Cole's PA was obvious.

Kayla laughed evilly and said in a sweet voice, "Oh yeah? How much did you say fire extinguishers cost these days again?"

"Bitch." Miss elegant spat at Kayla and stormed out of the office.

Kayla turned to give Briana an apologetic smile and rushed off after the woman. 

Briana turned to look at Cole and found him watching her intensely. She quickly lowered her eyes, staring blindly into the magazine she had been reading before the interruption, turning the pages but not seeing a thing. What had just happened? Who was that woman? And why had Cole allowed the kiss even for a second? He had been in no hurry to stop the kiss...at least from where she was sitting.

By the time Cole was done with his call, Briana was staring at a spot on the door, lost in thought.

He stared at her tense posture for a while. Then turned to look at the messages from Kayla on his screen.

Kayla: Very sorry about that sweetie. Went to the wash room. You sure do know how to pick em. What a bitch.

Cole: Yeah tell me about it. 

Kayla: Howz Briana holding up?

Cole: She seems lost in thought Kay. I can only imagine what's going on in her head. Damn!

Kayla: Well you better turn on the charm then. 

Cole: Hmm...

Kayla: Hey, don't worry. You'll be fine. You're the ladies' man remember? And Briana had better start developing thick skin. Cos this is just the beginning.

Cole: Regina is right. You are a bitch Kay.

Kayla: Your personal bitch Cowboy. You guys going for lunch?

Cole: Yip.

Kayla: Where you taking her?

Cole: Thought we'd do Dragon.

Kayla: No. Do Italian.

Cole: She loves Chinese Kay.

Kayla: Ok. And don't come back here till she's back in high spirits.

Cole: Ay ay Madam.

Kayla: Lol!

Cole was not only Kayla's boss, but a close friend. Since the very first day she had been assigned to him, two years ago, as his PA, they had been a team but their relationship had never been romantic. Despite the fact that she was damn sexy with her dirty blond hair cut into a short, sassy Halle Berry hairstyle, he treated her like the little sister he never had.

They were extremely close and Cole loved and trusted her absolutely. He relied upon her and viewed her as essential to his being. Kayla, in turn, adored Cole and was incredibly loyal to him, to the point where she would take a bullet for him. Both tended to view each other as two halves to the same whole, and Kayla had placed Cole above all other relationships more than once. They took great pleasure in each other's company and enjoy their jokes and verbal sparring. Over the years, they had developed an ease of comfort found only between best friends, and were very good at reading the other. No one knew Cole better than Kayla, and although Cole generally tended to keep his feelings close to the chest, he was always more open and vulnerable with her than he was with anyone else.

She was privy to most of the details of his private life--she knew about Cole's late mother, his brother, and was fond of Cole's father. Cole had called Kayla to tell her all about Briana and how he felt about her the second day they had slept together. Before he had gotten back, he had sent her a beautiful picture of a smiling Briana. Kayla therefore knew who Briana was even before she had told her she was Lisa. 

Kayla was also one of the few people whose opinion Cole valued, and he listened carefully to anything she told him, even if he did not always acknowledge it at the time. When upset, Cole sometimes fell back upon establishing the boss-employee boundary--a boundary Kayla was smart enough to know when to ignore, recognizing it for the emotionally distancing tactic that it was. She was likely the only person capable of keeping his reckless tendencies in check. 

Cole, at the moment, was wishing for Kayla's confidence. He really hoped he would be able to get that lost look off Briana's face. He didn't even bother checking what Regina had left for him. She was a fellow lawyer working with another firm. Their fling had been hot but brief. She had gotten married after deciding that Cole was not ready to settle down, and then Cole had stopped their affair. But that hadn't stopped her from trying, any chance she got, to get Cole into bed. Like she always told him... 'We were hot together. You don't just let such heat go.'

Well it looked like he was in for a different kind of heat.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Cole said, startling Briana.

Briana looked up with a gasp. She hadn't noticed Cole standing beside her. 

She shook her head and bit her lip staring down at her hands.

"Shall we?"

"You done?" She asked looking behind Cole as if expecting someone to pop up.

"Yep."

Briana picked up her clutch and with a hand on her elbow, Cole steered her towards the door of his office, pass a smirking Kayla and into the elevator.

Briana looked up just as the elevator doors closed and waved at a smiling Kayla. She wished she could have said a thank you to her for saving her from that...Cole's woman. She signed, making Cole turn to look at her.

"You okay?"

"Uh-huh." Did he really have to ask that, she fumed.

Cole drove out of the underground parking lot and eased into the traffic, in his sleek black BMW Alpina Roadster V8.

"I'm sorry about what happened back there." He said quietly.

Briana said nothing but kept staring out as she had been doing since sitting in the car.

"Talk to me Bri." Her silence was killing him.

She still said nothing. Soon Cole was parking at a private parking space in front of Dragon.

Immediately the car stopped Briana went to get out of the car but he pulled her in again. This time, however, he took hold of her chin and looked into her eyes. She melted from his touch but tried to maintain her angry look.

"By the way," he leaned in closer and whispered into her ears, "You look so damn hot in that dress, you were lucky I didn't rip it right off you."

'You're unbelievable.' Briana gushed out. She was mad and he was talking about her dress?

Oh dear Lord, she swallowed deeply -- her throat feeling dry as she tingled like mad. His voice was sending shivers down her spine.

"Can I kiss you?"

"When have you ever asked?" she rolled her eyes.

"Is that a yes?"

''I'm mad at you so NO, you can't kiss me. Are you sleeping with her?"

He pulled her into a scorching kiss. He teasingly took her lower lip between his teeth and held it there; another trademark-Cole sexual invitation he knew Briana couldn't resist accepting. He drew back from the kiss, satisfied with the arousal in her eyes.

"There's only you, Bri." His voice was quiet and firm.

A tremor moved through Briana at the seriousness underlying his words. He actually sounded angry that she'd doubted him. And Briana realized she believed him, silly as that may sound, she did.

He watched her lower lip tremble slightly as his mouth drew nearer to hers again. He paused a breath away from her and with a whispered, "never doubt that" against her lips, allowed his own eyes to close as he slanted his lips over hers in another claiming kiss. Their tongues intertwined and his lips moved softly but insistently against hers. She met his every movement with one of her own. When he pulled away, they were both panting for air as he pressed his forehead to hers, leveling their eyes to meet. 

"Enjoyed that, did you?" Briana could hear calm, collected control waging a war with rough lust in his voice, and could see his typical look-at-me-aren't-I-just-the-sexiest-hunk-on-the-planet attitude. 

"Are you really so insecure that you actually need me to answer that?" She retorted.

He laughed softly and gave her a quick kiss on her lips. 

"If I didn't really care, do you think I would've asked?" he murmured quietly, eyes glittering with desire.

"You just can't get enough of me, can you?" Briana teased and Cole knew they were okay.

"You got that right Baby. Come one let's go get something to eat."

She got out of the car on trembling legs and was thankful for Cole's strong arm around her waist. 

At the restaurant, they were given a corner table where they could listen to the soft music but could hear less talk. After a waiter had taken their order, Mr. Shou, the owner of the restaurant, stopped by their table to chat briefly with Cole. Telling Briana to enjoy her meal, Mr. Shou bowed and left them.

Their drinks were served whiles they waited for the starters.

"You come here often huh?" Briana asked.

"Yes. Shou is a good friend. Handled a case for him once." Cole explained using his finger to run circles on Briana's left thigh.

"Don't be a tease, Cole," she said softly, shivering at his touch and trying to hide the quiver in her voice.

"I don't tease," He retorted staring at her nipples which were already standing out.

Her nipples tightened even harder under his gaze, and she could feel her breath quickening. This was getting out of control. He was doing this on purpose.

"Cole?" Briana turned to see a handsome black guy in a suit with a blond beauty looking at Cole.

"Hey Jen." Cole said standing up to give the lady a tight hug, ignoring the man. "How have you been my love?" He added dropping a kiss on her cheek.

"I'm good Cole. You're looking good." She turned and extended her hand towards Briana. "I'm Jen. You must be Briana."

Briana took the outstretched hand and shook it looking at Jen with surprise. 

"Yes I'm Briana. Hello Jen."

"You're surprised huh? He won't stop talking about you." Jen said indicating Cole with her chin.

"Talk about robbing the cradle." The black hunk said softly under his breath but Briana heard him and turned to look at him just as Jen elbowed him.

"Ouch. Kill me won't ya?" He groaned moving towards Briana. Briana extended her hand for a handshake but he ignored her outstretched hand and hauled her into his arms.

"Finally!" He said pulling back to look at her. "I'm Matt and you're gorgeous."

Briana blushed so hard she thought her face would go up in flames.

"Thanks Matt. Good to meet you."

Matt kept holding her hands and looking at her.

"Ok let go of her already will ya?" Cole said drawing Briana back into her chair.

"Oh honey," Matt said addressing Jen without looking at her. "We're so joining them." He added pulling out a chair for Jen and taking the one opposite Cole.

Cole groaned loudly causing Jen to laugh. 

"Can't you just leave Jen here and disappear?"

"Don't worry Cole, if he doesn't behave, I will personally get Shou to throw him out."

"He's welcome to try." Matt said with his eyes still on Briana.

The waiter brought their starters which looked enough for twenty people, followed by a smiling Mr. Shou.

"I add Matt and Madam Jen already." He said looking at Briana.

"That explains it. How the fuck did you know I was...never mind. I'll kill Kay." Cole fumed but it was obvious he wasn't angry.

Briana threw back her head and laughed when Matt made a funny face at Cole, earning himself a pinch from Jen, who was obviously his Fiancée if the large rock on her left finger was anything to go by.

They all dug into the yummy starters and conversation soon turned to work. Jen, who was obviously a lawyer as well, brought the guys up to speed on an on-going trial. Briana soon tuned out her mind and enjoyed her sautéed squid. She was thankful her nipples had gone back down. How mortifying it would have been for Matt and Jen to have seen her in that state. And Cole...wait a minute...she could give him a taste of his own medicine couldn't she?

Cole was deep in talks with Matt and Jen when he felt Briana's had in his lap. He turned and gave her a quick smile and went right on talking. He nearly jumped when he felt Briana stroking him through his pants. He tried to focus on what Jen was saying but couldn't really pay attention as his cock was getting too hard for comfort. It occurred to him to stop her but he wanted to see just how far she would go. After a while he felt his zipper being lowered and Briana's hand stroking him through his boxers. He choked on the golden fried shrimp he was munching on and had to drink water. Briana didn't stop.

"Are you okay Cole?" Jen asked seeing how flushed he looked.

"Sure. Just went down the wrong way. You sure those guys are gonna cave? Because they seemed very adamant the last time we spoke."

"Oh they will." Jen replied. But Cole couldn't concentrate on her response. How could he, when Briana's hand had suddenly decided to slip under his boxers. He coughed, hiding a moan that almost escaped his lips. 

Matt and Jen shot him questioning looks but the arrival of their main dish distracted them again. Thank God. He glanced at Briana and found that she was busily digging into the golden fried shrimps as if she didn't know what her hand was doing...like her hand wasn't playing with his...Oh God!

He bit his bottom lip and closed his eyes as her hand began to move in earnest. The friction of her delicate fingers kneading him felt a-ma-zing! He could just imagine how wet her fingers were with all that pre-cum spilling out of him. The sickest part was that, his friends kept talking, not knowing what was happening right there in front of them. He knew he should really stop her. This had gone far enough. But for the life of him, he couldn't bring himself to stop her. It felt too good. He could taste blood from biting his lip too hard. He was so close. Her thumb brushed the tip of his already sensitive swollen head and his breathing became irregular, heart racing as she twirled her thumb against the tip over and over and over...

"Fuck!" He exploded. Cumming so hard he thought he was going to get a heart attack. 




Velvet Heat Ch. 03



"What?" Jen asked wide eyed, staring at Cole.

"He just bit his tongue Hon." Matt replied smoothly. "Try the pork sauce. It's to die for."

Briana was so surprised at Matt's response to Jen she looked up and met his amused eyes, getting a slow wink from him. He knew! She blushed to the roots of her hair. Then she smiled at him giving him a wink right back. 

She had caught all the spunk in her palm but was still holding onto Cole. His after-tremors still shook him. And he had his forehead in his palm with his eyes tightly shut.

"Here," Matt said handing Briana a tissue. "You've got sauce on your chin."

"Oh thanks Matt." Briana took the tissue from Matt and quickly wiped her chin, knowing very well she had no such thing there. Then slowly brought her hand out of Cole's lap and wiped it with the issue, out of sight. Just as she was about to excuse herself to go to the ladies room, however, Cole hauled her into his lap. Then his mouth was on hers giving her a kiss so intense she thought she would melt. His tongue flicked against the inside of her upper lip and she groaned, opening her mouth to his possession. She leaned into his hard body, pressing her breasts against his chest. He plunged his tongue in, fucking Briana's mouth possessively. Briana did the only thing she could think of, which was to put a hand around Cole's neck, and kiss him back with equal heat.

Briana moaned, giving himself over to her man, totally forgetting they had an audience.

"Come on you two, get a room." Jen's teasing comment brought her back to the present. She quickly zipped Cole back and pressed her forehead to his. He released her long silky hair and held her in a warm embrace.

"That was...out of this world." Cole whispered dropping a kiss on her swollen lip. 

"We aim to please Mr. Adams." Briana whispered back and excused herself, leaving quickly to the ladies' room on shaky legs. 

"What was that?" Jen exclaimed.

"That was Cole in his element." Matt answered. "Dude, you've got it bad."

"Shut up Matt. If I remember correctly, you were downright pathetic when Jen gave you the light of day."

"But what brought that on Cole?" Jen still looked surprised. "One minute we were talking and eating, and the next minute you had your tongue down the poor girl's throat. What got into you?"

"Poor girl! Yeah right." Matt muttered earning himself a kick under the table, this time from Cole.

"Can't I kiss my girlfriend when I feel like it Jen?" Cole asked sweetly, digging into the food, which he had virtually not touched.

"Of course you can. I'm happy if you are. It's just that..." She gave up shaking her head. "I never thought I would see you so crazy about a girl. She must be very special."

"She is." Both Cole and Matt said.

Then they both burst out laughing.

Briana closed the washroom door by stumbling back and leaning heavily against it, her knees weakened by a lust so ferocious it made her dizzy. She couldn't believe she had done that. What had come over her? But seeing the power she had over Cole had been worth it. Oh God!

***

After lunch they all left the restaurant. Matt kissing Briana's hand like a Knight, making her laugh. Oh she liked him. Jen gave her a hug and told her to let her know when they could get together and have fun. They said their good-byes and jumped into Cole's car and sped off towards his office.

"I really wish I could just drive straight home Bri. That was some shit! Damn!"

Briana couldn't help but laugh at his behavior.

"Sunday is just around the corner Cole. What time should I come over?"

"Hell No! I'm picking you up. Don't want you driving back to school after midnight. Not going to release you till then you know." He added giving her a predatory smile. "Better still I'll drop you off on Monday morning on my way to work. So tell Jess not to expect you."

"Works for me just fine."

Cole parked beside Briana's Mercedes-Benz A-Class in front of his office and got down to open her door for her. When she got behind the steering wheel, he bent and gave her a sweet kiss, making her hot all over again.

"Sunday." He whispered. "And thanks for lunch. That was the best lunch EVER!"

"Glad you enjoyed it." Briana whispered back. "I'll miss you."

"I don't want you to go." Cole said softly caressing her soft cheeks. She sighed and leaned into the caress.

"You have to work. Don't wanna distract you. Call me when you're free?"

"Will do."

"I love you."

"I know."

She kissed him again and drove off.

***

Briana was in a dilemma on Sunday morning. She really should call Cole and tell him not to pick her up. Her period had arrived four days early and she didn't want to disappoint Cole. She picked up her phone. It was only fair that she warn him. But before she could dial...

"And I told him to shove it where the sun doesn't shine." Briana heard Jessica say to someone at the door just as loud laughter followed. Cole! Jessica was talking to Cole. So much for calling to cancel.

"I wish I could have seen the look on his face. Idiot!" She heard Cole say. 

"Hey leave the poor boy alone. He had to try." Briana told Jessica and Cole tilting up her face to take a kiss from Cole.

"Well his style sucks. Ready?"

"Well...yeah. Let me get a few things." Briana replied hesitantly but Cole didn't seem to notice.

He went off to continue talking to Jessica about Collins whiles she packed a few things.

"Okay shall we? See you on Monday Jess." Briana gave Jessica a hug. "I will be bb-ing you k?"

"You sure you gonna get the time for that?" Jessica muttered with a smirk and a wiggle of her hips.

"I heard that." Cole said taking Briana's bag from her and drawing Jessica into a hug. "And you wanna know the answer to that? She ain't gonna see her phone till tomorrow morning." Cole said giving Jessica a loud kiss on the cheek making her howl with laughter.

"Cole!" Briana exclaimed with mock indignation.

"Get out of here you two. And have fun." Jessica said shooing them out of the room.

Briana turned at the door and rushed back to Jessica's side and whispered, "I'm on Jess. What am I gonna do?"

Jessica looked at her wide eyed. 

"I so want all the juicy details first thing Monday morning gurl. This is gonna be so hot! Knowing Cole..." Jessica finished shaking her head slowing.

"What?" Briana screeched hitting the now laughing Jessica on the arm. "Why do I even bother? You're no help. Bye!" Briana stomped off after Cole who was talking on his phone. She could still hear Jessica's laughter from down the corridor. 'Silly girl'. She thought with a smile.

***

"Want to go get something to eat? Should we stop somewhere and eat before we get home?" Cole asked.

Briana shook her head. "I've got a better idea. Let's go home and I'll make us omelets."

Cole grinned. "Sounds great."

"Hope you have stuff I can cook with." Briana said reaching up to wipe the edge of his mouth with her thumb.

"Mrs. Ward's always good at stocking up." Cole replied.

"Good."

When they got to Cole's luxury condo, Briana headed straight toward the kitchen, which was off to the side of the main living room. 

"I'll start the omelets. What would you like in yours?" She shouted to Cole, leaning inside the open refrigerator, looking at what was available. "Avocados, tomatoes, American cheese, onions, and bacon?"

"All of those, yes." Cole answered entering the kitchen.

"You know, I still can't get over how big this place is. And you don't even cook."

"Says who?" Cole countered, sitting on a stool on the other side of the breakfast bar to watch Briana cook with a giddy expression. 

"Mrs. Ward does all your cooking Cole. You told me so yourself."

"That doesn't mean I don't know how to cook...or don't once in a while."

"Yeah right." She rolled her eyes and turn to look at him, only to catch him watching her with a look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked him.

"I love seeing you in my kitchen, busily cooking. There's something hot about that. And I'm so hard right now..."

"Cole! Do something useful then. Set the table." She said trying not to blurt out the fact that it wasn't possible to have sex with her. Not in her current state.

"Hmm... kill joy." Cole muttered and reluctantly climbed from his stool to set two plates and sets of silverware on the breakfast bar. 

"Okay now go watch television or something. I'll bring the food in there when I'm done."

"Trying to get rid of me huh?" Cole asked from behind her, his arms going around her, one hand moving up to cup her breast."

"Cut it out Cole. Take some juice and go wait like a good boy." Briana said with a laugh, turning to give his a quick kiss.

"Okay I get it. I'm going. What kind of juice do you prefer?" He asked opening the fridge.

"Whatever you're having will do."

A few minutes later, Briana came into the living room carrying two heaping plates of omelets and fried potatoes. She handed one to Cole and then sat beside him on the leather couch. 

Cole inhaled the scent of bacon and cheese. "God, this smells great. I'm starved. Mango juice okay?"

"Sure." Briana shrugged.

Cole tried a bite. "It's heavenly," he declared around a mouthful. He chewed and swallowed. "Baby this is good." 

She glanced at the television screen, digging into her food. "What are you watching?"

Cole's gaze shifted to the screen. He had no idea what was on. He hadn't even changed the channel.

"Nothing yet. Just turned it on."

Briana reached for the remote and tuned it to the discovery channel. They watched while they ate in a comfortable silence.

She still couldn't get over how elegant Cole's house was. It was so big she was sure it must have cost an arm and a leg but Cole claimed he got a great deal on it. It was in foreclosure so he had paid about half what it was really worth. She had once asked him jokingly whether one of his numerous girlfriends had done the interior decor. He had told her he had hired a professional to do the work, but had admitted that at the time he had given her the contract, she had been his ex. Much as she felt a slight pang that an ex designed the place, Briana acknowledged the fact that she had done a great job.

There was a large, tastefully decorated foyer and expansive, clean, and comfortable living area. The furniture was heavy and inviting. Neat and masculine. Dark woods contrasted with green, light brown and ivory upholstery. Matching pillows, rugs, and abstract artwork tied everything together.

He had his den where he called his 'boyz ghetto'. That's where he and his pals had fun when they came around on weekends. It had Massaging recliners, home theater, stereo, video games, dartboard, pool table, wet bar, and, through a set of French doors, an enormous rooftop balcony complete with hot tub and a BBQ setup.

The bedrooms were on the second floor. There were four bedrooms and three and half baths that had beautiful wood, granite and natural stone throughout. 

Cole's house was a bachelor's wet dream.

Everywhere you look you could see that the builder of this beautiful condo paid lots of attention to detail and did a wonderful job.

Briana finished her food first and turned to look at Cole who was engrossed in the story of Imhotep, the Egyptian high priest. She loved to watch him when his attention was elsewhere. She could ogle him without making her infatuation blatantly obvious. The length of his black lashes fascinated her. And those lips...what it could do to her. Her stomach tightened with need. She wanted him badly, had been dying to taste him since that day in the restaurant. 

Before Briana knew what she was doing, she was sliding off the couch and kneeling between Cole's legs.

"Bri..." Cole muttered, surprised.

Briana took his almost empty plate from his hand and placed it on the center table. All the while Cole looked at her with bemusement. She jerked his belt loose as he stared at her in surprise, and a second later had the zipper lowered. Before he could form the words she saw hovering on his lips, she had his half-hard cock freed and was consuming the throbbing tip with her mouth. 

"Oh hell, Bri."‖ A strangled groan left Cole's throat.

Cole watched with heavy-lidded eyes as Briana's tongue darted out and licked the tip of his dick. She made a soft noise of pleasure and reached between his legs to cup his balls. His head fell back into the sofa cushion, his breath heaving in and out. The sight of her between his legs always drove him insane. Seeing those lush pink lips stretched around the thick head, watching her eyes grow dark with desire. She swirled her tongue around the head, then fluttered the tip just beneath the crown.

"Oh baby, you're so hot. Do you have any idea how hot you look right now?"

His voice sent shivers cascading over her flesh as the thick, throbbing flesh filled her, stroking her tongue as he moved his hips, caressing it as he thrust in and out with a strangled groan. She whimpered, closing her eyes as her hands gripped his thighs and she began to suck at the engorged shaft, her tongue stroking him, milking him slowly. She took him deep and his entire body trembled. He knew he wasn't going to last.

"Oh shit, that is so good, so good..."

Her hot little mouth drew on him with rhythmic fervor. Her cheeks hollowed on every pull, her head lifting and falling in counter-tempo to her fist pumping at the base. The pleasure was vicious, tightening around his spine and pooling at his lower back. The erotic sounds filling the room—her low moans of pleasure, the wet suckling, his helpless curses as he felt the orgasm barreling through him. 

"Fuck. Baby, your mouth..." Cole's hands sank into her hair. 

His flesh swelled on her tongue as she sucked and licked with greedy abandon until she felt the first hot pulse of creamy fluid erupt at her throat. His hands were tangled in her hair now, holding her close, sliding his cock as deep down her throat as it would go as he released stream after stream of hot, silky liquid down it. Briana swallowed desperately, tasting him on her tongue, in her mouth, filled with the excess of his release as he cried out above her.

She swallowed and sucked harder, accepting more of him, drawing his offering deep into her throat. Even after he'd completely spent himself, she continued to suck him to prolong his pleasure until he couldn't take any more.

"Ah Bri, stop, please."

"Uh-uhn," she murmured, shaking her head slightly, his cock still in her mouth.

He shuddered, slowly growing softer and softer in her mouth. Then Cole was bending to pull his cock out of her still suckling lips and drawing her up into his lap. "Come here, baby," he whispered, "I want to hold you." 

He panted unevenly to catch his breath, a delirious smile on his face. "That..." he murmured, "that was fantastic." 

She sighed and relaxed against him, her head resting on his shoulder. "That good huh?" She said with a soft laugh. She got off on knowing that he was absolutely defenseless when she had her hands on him.

"You'll be the death of me Baby." He kissed the top of her head. He started to push her back, his fingers going to the buttons on her shirt.

"Cole..." She protested.

"I want to taste you," he whispered. "My mouth buried in your pussy, my tongue driving you to orgasm."

Panic flared inside Briana. She was so aroused, but what could she do about that? She jumped off Cole's lap, grabbed the plates and dashed to the kitchen leaving Cole with a bemused look on his face.

Her body was humming, as it always did around him. Vibrating with need. Her breasts were swollen beneath her shirt, her nipples, hard and sensitive. She felt him behind her. Then she felt his arms go around her.

"Thanks for breakfast," he whispered taking her earlobe into his mouth to lightly nibble. "And that hot desert. Now why do I get the feeling you are running from me?" He moved his lips to her neck. God, she was going out of her mind with need.

Not trusting any coherent words to come out just then, she turned to face him. Her pale blue eyes were lit with hunger, with desire. Her face flushed with it. She was breathing hard, eyes dilated; she gripped his shirt in desperate fists. Cole bent his head and pressed his lips to Briana's. She opened her mouth and allowed his tongue to slide in. His hands went to her arse, kneading the cheeks. She moaned and reached up to encircle his neck, returning the kiss with total abandon. But to her surprise, Cole broke the kiss, lifted her by the waist, ignoring her gasp, and set her on the kitchen counter.

Cole had fantasized many times about having her spread across it like his next meal, his sustenance. The reality ratcheted up his need. His heartbeat soared. His cock throbbed. With one hand, he opened the buttons on her shirt and bared her braless breast to his eyes. Just perfect! 

"Damn! You are so beautiful, so damn perfect." He breathed.

He ran his palms over the firm mounds and those nipples, hard... standing up, thick and swollen, always ready for his mouth. He swooped down and took one in his mouth. Devouring it like candy. Better, actually. He swiped his tongue over it, nipping the tender flesh when it hardened even more. Hmm. Lovely.

Briana panted, little whimpering sounds peppering the air as she curled her hands around his head, trying to get her fingers in his military-short hair and tug him closer. 

"Cole..." 

She trembled before him, her eyes closed, lips parted, head tilted back with mindless pleasure. Whiles drawing on her nipple, his hand moved to her other nipple and rolled the hard little point between his fingers. Briana could feel the pull in her very core. She felt the familiar pleasurable signs of an impending orgasm.

"Oh!" she cried as Cole's mouth moved to cover the other breast, teeth lightly scraping her nipple until tingles screamed along the nerve endings between her breasts...all the way to her begging clit. The sensation doubled when Cole pinched the other sensitive nub. She screamed, her hands curling into fists as his teeth gripped her nipple, nipping and tugging at it as a flashpoint of wet electricity sizzled between her thighs. His lips, teeth and tongue worked the point until it was so sensitive she couldn't think of anything but more, as a blast of brutal sensation ripped through her. 

When her climax hit, she screamed. She couldn't stop the sound, couldn't control the response. Fire was streaking through her, burning her alive with the pleasure as she exploded with such force, such overwhelming response, that nothing mattered, nothing existed but the conflagration tightening her body and burning her alive. 

Cole felt her tremors and moved to claim her mouth. Her sweet kiss, all accepting and impassioned, kicked him with another jolt of lust. 

"Oh fuck that was so hot Baby." Cole muttered coming up for air. "I have to taste you Bri." Cole said desperately, his hands going to the zipper on her jeans.

Briana shook her head, a heated feeling creeping up her neck to her cheeks as she struggled to catch her breath, to right her crazy, tilting world.

"No Cole. We can't." Briana said placing her hand on Cole's. Her face had turned completely red.

"Why not?"

"Uh...because I'm... It's... It's that time of the month." She managed to get out, covering her face in her palm.

Cole now understood all her weird behavior. Running from him, her reluctance to do what they both obviously wanted. Did she think that will put him off? Silly girl!

"Do you have cramps?" He removed her hands from her face. But she still wouldn't look at him.

"No." She flushed - she couldn't believe he was asking her something so personal.

"When did it start?"

"Just this morning." She answered looking everywhere but his face.

"Is it usually heavy in the beginning?"




Velvet Heat Ch. 03



'Why the third degree?' Briana wondered. "No."

"Aw, honey," Cole crooned wrapping his arms around her waist. "I'm going to fuck you so hard you're gonna scream." He dropped his head, and covered her mouth with a blistering kiss. He enveloped her in desire...and not just hers. His kiss melted her with the restrained urgency of his own need, softened into a tangle of lips, breaths, and tongues. Briana let herself float away into the heart-racing, heat-pooling power of his kiss. Until he nipped at her lip, soothed it with a tender lick, then slid a soft brush of his mouth over hers. Without thinking, she leaned into him, seeking more kisses, more contact, more him. 

He lifted her against him effortlessly, his heavy erection pressed between her thighs. She slid her legs around his hips and one of his hands slid to her arse, cupping it, holding her up. His lips moved over hers, slanted across them, his tongue taking hers even as he started walking out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the second floor where the master bedroom was. He carried her through the expansive loft area to a set of double doors along the far wall. He pushed with his leg and the door swung open to his elegantly designed bedroom. Cole went right past his inviting king-sized four-poster bed and into the adjoining bathroom.

He set Briana down and took off her jeans and shirt, leaving her in just her panties. Then he quickly stripped, freeing his cock. She turned her attention to the stiff length of his erection. He was so hard and the head was so engorged it looked like a plum, all purple and delicious.

"Err...Cole, you did hear what I said right?"

Cole just turned Briana around to face the large mirror in the bathroom, running his fingers along her thighs, making her tremble with arousal. 

"Do you trust me?" He whispered into her ears.

"Yes."

"Good."

Cole knelt behind Briana and took off her panties. Briana watched herself in the mirror. A flush spread across her fair complexion. Her eyes looked unfocused, dilated. She couldn't believe the sensual woman staring back at her was actually her. She gasped.

Cole couldn't keep his hands from wandering, across her hip, around to her belly, up to her breast. He flicked his thumbs across her pebbled nipples. Still hard. His fingers moved down to play with her clit. At the contact, her clit jumped, then pulsed greedily. Briana cried out. To increase the mounting sensations, Cole continued to stroke her clit, igniting everything from the waist down. He pinched her nipples, twisted and turned them, engorging them further, lifting her senses high. Just when he realized she was on the verge of falling over the edge, he backed away, earning himself a frustrated growl from Briana. 

"Please, Cole. Please." 

"That's what I wanted to hear." 

Damn him for making her beg, for— 

All those thoughts fled when she felt him reach between her legs and pulled on the string attached to her tampon.

"Cole..." Briana gasped, mortified. 

Cole wrapped the tampon in a toilet paper and tossed it into the trashcan. Then he was guiding his cock into her body, filling her with one violent, deep thrust. Her entire body spasmed as she came. Hard. 

"Oh God. Oh God!" she screamed. 

She continued to shudder as he began to withdraw and thrust into her as hard as he could. He knew he would follow her to bliss soon. The urgency to spill his seed inside her was already building. He was moving inside her, long thrusts that he fought to keep gentle, to keep from hurting her, but her cries urged him on, drove him insane. His hands were tight on her hips as she followed each stroke, the sound of smacking flesh and wet sex filling the air until he knew he couldn't bear it any longer. His breath hitched unexpectedly. He knew he had to stop moving...had to make this good for her. His breathing grew harsh, pleasure curses tumbling from his mouth. He stilled deep inside her, unmoving, his fingers biting hard enough to bruise the tender flesh on her hips.

As Briana floated from bliss back to reality, she felt the tension in Cole's muscles. She lifted her head and met his eyes in the mirror and the intensity in his gaze left her breathless. She reached up to coil a hand around his neck, feeling the heat radiating off him. His strength aroused her in a way she'd never thought possible. She hadn't looked at him in this light before. And there was an emotion in those eyes which she couldn't place. 

His hand closed over her breast, massaging her flesh, his thumb sweeping across her nipple. A thrill shot through her and she pressed herself to him, releasing a strangled cry as she felt the thick glide of his cock. Exhilaration and arousal had her pulse racing, her skin flushing. Her stomach reeled with pleasure. He didn't look away from her eyes. It was glorious. 

"Are you ready for the ride?" he murmured hotly against her ear

"Bring it on Baby." Briana whispered, her eyes locked with his in the mirror.

He began to rock within her, shoving himself inside her harder and deeper than ever, nudging boldly against her womb with each thrust. His cock was so deeply embedded inside her, filling her so completely, she felt like he was touching every part of her.  

"Oh God, oh dear God," she whispered incoherently.

His hand slid down her body to find her nub, his fingers maddening as he circled it, creating havoc within her. She moaned, her head dropping back onto his chest. She was going out of her mind. She still maintained eye contact. Cole felt lost inside the beautifully vulnerable and warm blue shade of her eyes. His gaze drifted lower to her lush lips, red and swollen from the onslaught of his mouth, at the moment, parted in ecstasy...she looked so enthralling. The breath seemed to hitch in his throat. 

"I'm going to...I'm going to..." Cole knew exactly where she was going. He slammed inside of her with deep, brutal thrusts, flicking his fingers over her clit in time with his thrusts. "Please don't stop. Please. Please..."

She gasped in pure rapture as the fingers move faster over her clit, his cock plunged into her to the hilt, and he leaned down to suck an earlobe at the same time squeezing her tender nipples with another hand. The sudden mix of pleasure and pain sent her careening. Briana screamed as violent waves of sensations washed over her. She shattered around him, her tight walls milking him, as she came on his hard cock. Her knees buckled but Cole held her up. God, he loved to watch her cum. It was so fucking hot.

"I love it when you scream." He said in his husky voice.

Her pussy rippled and clenched around him making him groan deep in his throat. He plunged inside her over and over, his movements so deep, so forceful, he knew it wouldn't take long. He was closer than he thought. He thrust hard and deep, feeling it happen, the tightness halfway up his cock, the sudden swelling as his balls tightened and his cock hardened further. It was exquisite, the most pleasure he could have known in his life. His body stiffened and he erupted inside her. He rocked against her with a startled cry as he came. His eyes closed and his heart pounded as he gave one final shove, his sound of surrender one of the most erotic things Briana had ever heard. 

"Fuuuuck!" He groaned, trembling uncontrollably for several moments as he attempted to catch his breath.

She felt him shudder violently behind her and regretted that she couldn't see his eyes. He grasped her hips and held her still, grinding deeply until his spasms calmed. 

"You're cumalicious," he whispered, still panting. "Damn." 

She moaned at the deliciously pulling sensation when he withdrew his cock from her clutching pussy. Her body was still trembling with the aftershocks of her orgasm. Her quivering thighs wouldn't hold her up, but strong hands grabbed her waist, preventing her from falling. Cole turned her around, and firm fingers forced her face up, warm lips brushing against hers seductively. She sagged against him, breathing unevenly...feeling an incredible sensation of being completely and irrevocably taken. Her arms went around his neck with a contented sigh.

"I'm not the kind to say I told you so, but..." he teased, as he gently rubbed her arse.

She laughed. "I didn't know..." 

"I told you how hot you were, and you saw it for yourself." He said dropping a kiss on top of her head.

God, she loved this man. There were times when she wanted to crawl inside his skin, inside his heart, and stay there always, cocooned in the warmth of his embrace. She needed Cole like she needed air to breathe. A feeling of pleasure streaked through her when she remembered what had just taken place, she shiver, a whimper escaping her lips.

"Are you OK, Baby?" Cole whispered.

He tried to move back to look at her face.

"No, noooo, don't move," she gasped.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Nothing...nothing!" she said. "Just let me calm down a little bit, please," she pleaded.

They stayed there for another few minutes. 

"I love you," he murmured. He couldn't help it. He had lost his heart to her. For the first time in his life, Cole Adams loved a woman. He was hopelessly in love with Briana.

Briana froze. 

"What?" She whispered, looking up at him.

"I love you." He repeated looking into her eyes with so much adoration. "God help me,

Briana, I love you."

Her breath hitched and the next thing he knew, tears were welling in her eyes which were filled with so much emotion. Her body shook with silent tears.

"Shhh," he whispered softly against her hair. "It's okay, baby." He rocked her till she calmed down.

"I love you too." She whispered, looking up at him.

Brushing the tears from her cheeks with both thumbs, Cole looked into her eyes and said with a heart-stopping grin,

"I know." 

Briana went up on her toes and gave Cole a sweet kiss.

"Come on, let's take a shower." Cole said picking Briana up 'fireman style' and giving her a light slap on her arse. 

"Cole..." Briana shrieked. Her shrieks soon turned into uncontrollable laughter when Cole started tickling her mercilessly.

After washing and drying each other amidst kisses, Cole led Briana to the fireplace in the room. Briana walked to the chest of drawers inside the massive walk-in closet, still toweling her hair. Cole, gloriously naked, knelt on the thick rug in front of the fireplace and with a remote, lit the gas logs in the grate. He stretched out on the thick padding which was very soft and comfortable and gazed at the fireplace. Briana came to lie beside him in just panties and cuddled close to him. Cole wrapped an arm around her back to draw her even closer and kissed her forehead. She was still basking in a remnant of post-coital glow.

"Oh God! You sucked the life out of me." He muttered. "How was that?"

"It was okay." She said.

"What? Just okay?" Cole asked with shock.

Briana's entire body shook uncontrollably against him. Concerned, Cole leaned back to look at her face and found her laughing.

"That was fan-freakin-tastic. You are one hell of a good lay, Mr. Adams." She said dropping light kisses on his chest.

"Go to sleep, you little minx." Cole said with a laugh. His hands were on her back, stroking her. Briana let her lashes drift close; she let the weariness set it.

"Love you," she whispered. 

"Love you too." He replied. And it felt good saying it. He really couldn't tell her enough.

***

Briana woke up to raised voices. She could make out Cole's angry voice and the high pitched screech of a female. What was going on? She quickly wore one of Cole's shirts and headed for the stairs to find out what the racket was all about.

"Are you trying to tell me that I mean nothing to you?" The lady, who Briana thought looked delicious in her tight outfit, asked Cole incredulously. Then she looked up and saw Briana standing on the stairs watching them. 

"Janice just get over it al..."

"I'm pregnant."

Briana gasped, drawing the attention of Cole to her.

"What? You're can't be," everything in Cole denied what she'd just said.

Janice moved closer to Cole, with an accomplished look on her face, "Oh, you know it's true, darling. Remember the last time we fucked? The goodbye fuck...it was passionately and deliriously mind-blowing wasn't it Baby?"

Out of the corner Cole's eye he saw Briana wince. The triumph on Janice's face was outweighed only by the horror on Briana's. 

"You expect me to believe that?" He couldn't believe he had ever thought this woman beautiful, everything about her was so polished and fake.

"I'm almost three months along. Isn't that the most superb news? Call Michael and ask him Cole. He can testify."

Cole stared at her for a while and moved to the couch where he had left his cell phone. He had to talk to Michael now. He was one of his pals and a gynecologist, who was happily married with a kid. He was a very pleasant guy but for some reason, for about a month before he had broken things off with Janice, Michael seemed to have developed an intense dislike for Janice. Cole, though noticed the change, couldn't be bothered much so never asked Michael what the problem was. If he wanted the truth, who better to talk to than Michael, whose dislike for Janice was obvious?

Whiles Cole was busily trying to get Michael on the line, Janice sauntered over to Briana, ever the proud cat.

"Well, well," she purred. "You have made yourself awfully comfortable in my fiancé's home haven't you?"

Her fiancé? Briana held her tongue. Her heart thumped so hard she was afraid it was going to fall out. She knew the woman noted her obvious misery.

"What's the matter, dear? You don't look so well. Are you feeling sick?" She laughed. "Why, you poor thing. Did you really think you stood a chance with someone like my Cole? You know, if it weren't so pathetic, it would almost be admirable: someone like you setting her sights so high." 

Janice couldn't believe it when she heard that Cole was actually dating a college kid. In fact she felt more insulted seeing Briana in person. Even in her disheveled state, it was obvious the girl was a pretty little thing. But why would Cole leave her for this kid? She didn't want to be a laughing stock amongst her peers. She was damned if she was going to stand by and watch this little girl take her place. Not gonna happen!

Her eyes narrowed nastily. "Face it, princess, you'd have absolutely nothing to offer him. He is a strong, successful and virile man. Did you really think you stood a chance of keeping someone like him satisfied? Honestly, you should be grateful that I returned to reclaim my rightful place beside him. We just had a lovers' tiff that's all. At least this way, you're saved getting your heart broken down the line. Now I suggest you do yourself a favour my dear and get the hell out. Don't be a home wrecker little girl. I don't want to lay eyes on you come morning. And stay away from Cole." 

And with a final haughty look at Briana, she strode out of the house.

Briana slumped onto the stairs, fighting back tears. So that was it then. It had been too good to be true anyway. Janice's words had been cutting enough. Her heart was shattered and she wasn't sure she would ever find all the pieces again.

"Shit!" She heard Cole explode as he smashed his phone against the wall and watched him rub his eyes in frustration.

"Baby..." Cole started walking towards the stairs and Briana when he saw the tears streaming down her face. He knelt in front of her, taking her hands into his.

"What did she say to you?" He was shaking with suppressed rage.

"Does it matter?" Briana whispered.

Of course if mattered. How could he make her understand that the one element that made sense in this delirium was the bond he felt with her? He needed the perfect words, a declaration that would make her want to stick around.

He reached across and wiped her tears from her cheeks. Her lips parted and a rush of warm breath fanned across his wrist, but she didn't say anything. She licked her bottom lip but he didn't think she meant the gesture to be as alluring as he found it.

"Bri... This is really difficult for me. I'm trying to find the perfect thing to say that'll make everything okay, but all I can think of right now is that if you leave me, I'm lost." He said softly.

"I...I don't know Cole. Do you love her?" Briana's voice was so low Cole had to lean forward to hear her.

"No no no Bri. I don't love her. I've never loved any woman. Till you. I love you." He blurted out desperately. "I'm in love with you Baby. And I don't wanna lose you."

"Cole!" Briana gasped, tears flooding her eyes. "I love you too! So much it scares me! But for some reason she seem to think you two are getting married."

"Fuck!" Cole exploded, pushing his fingers through his hair in irritation. He moved to sit beside her on the stairs. "Bri we broke up before I came home to visit. I was never in love with her and she knew it. But as long as she got to spend my money and move around with me, she was okay." And of course the fact that she was dynamite in the sack was a plus but he wasn't going to tell Bri that. "I guess after a while I got tired of her fickle nature and greediness and called it quits. That last fuck...I had lost a case and wasn't really myself but that is no excuse for not using a condom like I always did with her. Besides, she was supposed to be on the pill so I don't really...damn!" He exhaled shakily, looking very frustrated.

"Cole I think you should put things right before we pursue what we have."

"Baby..."

"No hear me out. I'm not breaking up with you. I'm just saying you should put things right. She's pregnant Cole. I don't want to come between you two. As she puts it...be a 'home wrecker'."

"She said that?" Cole asked with a shocked expression on his handsome face.

"The point is, put things right Cole. I will give you space to do that."

"I don't need space Baby."

"You do. Please Cole. Help me here. I'm only trying to do what I feel is right. No matter what you decide, I will respect it...or not." She added with a smile. "When we get to that bridge, we will cross it. I just don't want someone to say I wrecked their relationship. I've always hated that. Okay?" She looked into his eyes with so much love and understanding. Cole's breathing

hitched, pain spearing through his heart like a double-edged sword. Was this how it felt to be in love. This painful? He just realized he was in love for fuck's sake. He'd be damned if he would allow anyone or anything to take that away from him. He couldn't lose her.

But he knew he had to respect her wishes. At least for now. Whiles he tried to figure out what to do. Cole drew Briana into his arms and tucked her against his chest, his chin against the top of her head as she closed her eyes and felt him in every beat of her heart. His hands stroked up her back, over the oversize shirt she was wearing. He knew she was suffering. She was only trying to act brave and matured. He didn't agree with her but he was proud of her. 

Briana felt as though her heart were breaking in two. She knew she had to leave but couldn't move. For just this moment she could hold on to him, feel him holding her. Because this man was her heart. She shouldn't love him so, she thought. She should have held a part of herself back. A part of her heart. She wanted to bawl her eyes out. But she knew she had to be brave. She could always cry later. For now, she wanted to act like the matured girl she had always been told she is.

Drawing back from his embrace, Briana went upstairs and quickly dressed up. She came back down and saw Cole sitting with his head in his hands. 

"Cole?" She called him.

"Don't do this Bri. Please!"

"I need to Cole. For my peace of mind. Okay? Come on, drop me off?"




Velvet Heat Ch. 03



The drive back to Campus was quiet. Both of them lost in thought. When Cole parked, Briana leaned over to give him a peck on the cheek but he turned at the last moment and their lips met. Cole took her chin between his thumb and forefinger and claimed her trembling lips in a deep and hungry kiss. Cole's lips were soft yet strong against hers. He applied just the right amount of pressure and suction—rubbing with lips, caressing with tongue—to drive her mad with desire. He nipped her lower lip and then drew it into his mouth to suck it gently and soothe it with the tip of his tongue. She was clinging to his neck, knew she had to stop the kiss but the sane part in her had gone on vacation and for a long moment she let Cole drive her to distraction without even considering pushing him away.

Cole on the other hand enjoyed the sensation of her lips against his so much that instead of pulling away like he knew he should, he deepened the kiss. She was just too sweet. He'd never imagined falling for someone like her, not in a million years, but if he was honest with himself, he knew that was only because he couldn't have imagined a girl like her falling for him.

Briana eventually turned her head to break the kiss. He stared down at her, his heavy-lidded eyes partially closed, and a pulse of hot lust surged through her pussy. She got lost in his eyes; her hand went up to touch his jaw. He tilted his head so that her fingertips brushed his cheek and then turned his head to caress her tingling flesh with his lips. Gentle, sucking kisses on the tips of her fingers drew a groan of longing from deep within her. 

She wrapped both arms around his neck and pulled him down again to meet her desperate kiss.

He quickly took control, applying a gentle suction to her lips and then teasing them with hints of an expert tongue and tender nibbles.

"You're so sexy," she murmured against his lips. "Why are you so sexy? I shouldn't be doing this."

"Bri..."

"Shh." Briana stopped Cole by placing her fingers on his lips. The man had the most luscious and sensual lips on the planet. Too bad she was losing him.

His face blurred behind the welling of tears in her eyes and she quickly opened the door and made a dash for her room. She was already too attached to him. Hot trails of moisture streaked down both cheeks. Dripped from her jaw.

She opened her door with so much force she startled Jess who was dancing to Chris Brown's 'Brown Skin Girl'.

She threw herself unto her bed and broke into wracking sobs.

"What the fuck happened?" Jessica screamed rushing to Briana's side. She pulled Briana into her arms, her shirt absorbing her tears.

"Don't cry," she whispered and brushed her lips against her temple. "You'll be okay."

Jessica didn't know what to say to her. Didn't know if anything she said would make one bit of difference. Because whatever had happened, Briana's heart was breaking and she couldn't help but feel rage towards Cole. Whatever Cole had done must have been bad or Briana wouldn't be sobbing right now. She'd be laughing. Smiling. Talking about her time with Cole, with that unequivocal look of love on her face.

"Bri," she whispered. "Shh. Calm down, darling."

"I have lost him Jess," Briana wailed. "It hurts so bad."

"Oh fuck!" Jessica swore.



Velvet Heat Ch. 04



Comments, critiques and tips are welcome. 

***

Kayla opened the door to a dejected looking Cole. She stared at him for a while wishing she could wave a magic wand and see his carefree happy self again.

"Ready to talk now?" She asked her boss with a slight smile.

Cole only gave a slight nod and stepped into Kayla's elegantly decorated living room. She closed the door and turned to Cole with her arms stretched wide.

"Come here."

Cole stepped into her warm embrace and hugged her tight for about two minutes. She had been watching him for the past two months and had seen the light die from his eyes. He had thrown himself so much into his work that she had a feeling he was avoiding her. But she knew at the right time he was going to open up. That day was finally here.

"Come on." Kayla said dragging Cole by the hand to the couch. "What will it be?"

"Cognac."

"Coming right up."

Kayla brought a bottle of Hennessey with two glasses, poured some into both glasses and handed one to Cole. He downed everything in one shot and poured another. Kayla sat on the couch and Cole lied down with his head on her lap.

"Now tell mummy everything." She said sipping at the own drink.

Cole told Kayla the whole story about Janice's pregnancy and Briana insisting on giving him space.

"Oh snap! You just had to knock the bitch up didn't you?"

"Kay I'm so confused I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean you don't know what to do? She should give birth. And you should keep your relationship with Briana and be happy. What the fuck did you want to do?" Kayla asked with so much anger in her voice.

"Kay it's not that simple. I've always known I wanted to be a father one day. But not like this. Janice is a demon with so much venom slithering beneath her polished veneer. Unfortunately I now have to face a future tied to her forever?"

"No you don't Co..."

"Yes I do Kay. As the mother of my child, she will be tied to me forever. It's not the child's fault it has jezebel herself for a mother. I would want to be part of my child's life and Janice knows me well enough to know this. She has me exactly where she wants me and she knows that. There is no way I could ever turn my back on my own child and deny him or her a chance at the type of childhood I had. My child's happiness has to come first. Janice can make my relationship with my kid hell if she wants to. Kay I'm scared." Cole finished in a whisper.

"Oh Cole" Kayla breathed. "It's been what...two months?" 

"Since the incident? Yes."

"And she said she was almost three months gone?"

"Yes."

"And when was the last time you saw her?"

"Well I did go to see her a day after she told me. She said she was going to London for a while to visit her sister." Cole replied omitting the part where Janice had tried very hard to have sex with him. She had angrily told him she was going to London after she realized Cole was serious about not succumbing to her advances.

"And Briana? When was the last time you saw her?"

"Not since the incident. I've been calling her but she usually doesn't pick up and even if she does, she always tells me she's busy doing one thing or the other and so can't talk. So I've been texting."

"And does she reply to your texts?"

"Sometimes." He said in a small voice.

Cole sounded so defeated Kayla didn't know what to say. She had never seen him like this before. And she didn't like it one bit. Kayla knew what to do. Her boss was just wasting away right in front of her. That was simply unacceptable. She had to fix this somehow. Starting with Briana. Then she was going to pay that bitch Janice a visit.

***

"Bri?" Briana heard Jessica screaming her name from the corridor moments before she burst into their room.

"What Jess?" Briana asked jumping off her bed thinking something serious had happened.

"Tadaaa" Jessica shouted waving two tickets in front of Briana. "We are going to paaarrrrtyyyyy." She said shaking and twisting her hips in an erotic dance.

Briana snatched the tickets out of Jessica's hands and looked closely at them. "The annual Zonta Party?" Briana exclaimed. "How the hell did you get tickets to Zonta Zone? Who did you sleep with you slut?"

Jessica stopped dancing long enough to shout, "pure luck" then resumed her dance across the room.

"What do you mean by pure luck? Zonta tickets don't just fly around by luck. How did you get them Jess?" Briana followed her friend's movement across the room with shocked eyes. The Zonta annual party was the party of the year, usually attended by very important people who knew how to have fun. A college student getting an invite to such a party was a no-no. Just who had Jessica murdered to get those tickets, Briana wondered. She knew it had always been Jessica's dream to get an invite into Zonta Zone. Hell, who wouldn't wanna get in? But Briana really didn't want to end up in jail for goodness sake. She was too young.

"Jess." Briana screamed to get Jessica's attention.

"Okay okay. Here goes...but you're not going to believe this."

"Try me."

"Okay so I'm on my way here right? I get to the park behind the library. Then see these two hot guys looking at me like I was their wet dream come true. I mean I know I'm hot but you should have seen the way..."

"Yeah yeah yeah Jess. We all know you're God's gift to men. Will you just go on?" Briana interrupted rolling her eyes at her friend, making Jessica roar with laughter.

"Ok so I said hi. And we got to talking. Apparently they were looking for the new library so I gave them the direction. Then they wanted to know what I usually do for fun on weekends. Of course I told them I usually roll with my roommate who was no fun these days because she got her heart broke..."

"Jess you didn't." Briana shouted.

"Ok ok I didn't add the last part but they asked what we would be doing on Friday. And I said nothing much since my roommate was no fun these days."

"You really did say that didn't you?" Briana asked quietly.

"Yes I did Bri. And it's true. You are...like a zombie these days."

"I'm sorry." Briana said softly.

"Hey hey," Jessica quickly sat beside Briana and hugged her. "You have nothing to be sorry about Bri. Just...try and have a little fun okay? For me?" She added with a wink.

"I will try. Maybe I should accept Taylor's date request one of these days. What do you say?"

"Taylor? Well...he doesn't come close to my Cole but..."

"Jess."

"You have to start from somewhere I understand." Jessica said with a resigned sigh.

"Yes I do. You did say I should try and have fun."

"Not that kind of fun but I'm okay if you are."

Briana knew Jessica's stand on the Cole business. She kept saying Cole hadn't cheated on her and was obviously in love with her so she should keep her man. But Briana felt it was wrong to come between Cole and Janice because of the baby. To say her life for the past two months had been shitty was an understatement. All she did was attend lectures, eat and sleep. She had come very close to going to Cole's just to see his face several times. But she always stopped herself. What even made it more difficult was hearing his voice. So she had stopped picking his calls. As for the text messages, they came every day. Cole always wanted to know how she was doing and never failed to remind her that he loved her every day. It was pure torture. 

"So they gave me two invites for my 'no-fun' roommate and I. They said we should come and have the time of our lives."

"Just like that."

"Just like that. So...are we going?"

"Hell yeah." Briana shouted with a laugh.

"That's what I'm talking about." Jessica screamed. "Zonta, here we come!"

"That's just in two days. What are we going to wear?" Briana wondered aloud.

"Something sinfully HOT!"

"You're nuts Jess."

"But you love me dontcha?"

"I soooooo do."

***

"This is awesome. Thanks for bringing me Briana." Taylor said looking around with utter amazement on his handsome face.

"Yeah sure." Briana replied looking around. She had almost told Taylor to reserve his thanks for Jess's sick mother. Jessica had to go home the day before the party because her mum had to undergo an emergency surgery. She had insisted Briana attend the party anyway with anyone she preferred. She had therefore invited Taylor to come along since they had become good friends these past two months. He made her laugh and she liked that. Of course Taylor wanted to date her but she had made him understand she wasn't ready for anything serious. He said he still had patience and hope. Funny guy! But she liked him. He was a really nice person. 

"And you are the hottest and most beautiful girl here Bri." Taylor said with so much admiration and want in his eyes Briana gasped.

"Ty..."

"I know I know. You're not ready. Remind me to give the guy who did whatever to you a dirty slap whenever I see him okay?"

The look on his face made Briana laugh so hard she had to hold on to him so as not to fall down.

"Oh Ty. Ever thought of doing a comedy show? Your face..."

"Glad I could make you laugh. You looked too serious. Lighten up Bri." Taylor said and leaned down to place a chaste kiss on Briana's cheeks.

"I will...and thanks." She said softly.

"For what?"

"You did say I was beautiful didn't you? Unless of course it was a line." Briana said with a mock scowl.

"That can never be a line where you're concerned and you know it." Taylor said with a laugh.

"Thanks for coming with me Ty." Briana said sincerely.

"Are you kidding me? Who in their right minds would miss this?" 

Taylor twirled Briana around, caught her around her waist and started dancing with her. She was laughing so hard the whole time.

However, across the hall from them, someone wasn't so happy. Cole had watched Briana laughing happily with that boy. He had watched the boy kiss her. The fact that it was on her cheeks was not the point. A kiss was a kiss. And he was seeing red. Now they were dancing and the boy had his arms around Briana's bare back. 

When he had first spotted her across the room, his first thought had been that she looked superb. She was so delicate, so exquisite, so...damned naked. What the fuck was she wearing? That dress could give a man a heart attack. She was wearing an alluring all-black cowl necked mini-dress. The loose plunging V-neck design created an instant sauciness. The outfit was full of surprises with the revealing sides merging into a 180 degree back cutout. Meaning the dress didn't have anything at the back. The only thing being covered at the back was her arse as the dress stopped about two or three inches above her mid-thigh. From behind it looked like she was wearing a swimsuit. No wonder almost every man was looking in her direction. That provocative dress had to be covered. 

Cole had bounded down the stairs on which he was standing at the time, toward Briana. He was already taking his jacket off with the sole aim of putting it on her. But he had been waylaid by one of the major partners of his firm. By the time he could excuse himself, the silly boy was all over his Briana. 

Cole matched straight to where Briana and Taylor were dancing. Taylor saw Cole first and the deadly intent in his eyes caused his spine to stiffen. Briana looked up at Taylor when she felt the change in him. She turned to look at what had captured his attention and gasped when she saw Cole. God, he was handsome. In his crisp white shirt and red tie, he looked so damn fine. He had obviously come straight from the office.

Cole had his jacket off, but when he reached Briana, he couldn't remember what he was supposed to do with it.

"Briana?"

"Yes, Cole?"

She waited for him to say something more.

He however seemed content to stand there and stare at her. Her love was so apparent in her gaze. Her smile was tender. Dear God, he thought, he was unworthy of her, and yet she loved him. He broke out in a cold sweat. He started to reach for the handkerchief in his jacket pocket, but then realized he was holding the jacket in his hands.

He couldn't imagine why. He put it back on. He couldn't take his gaze off his beautiful Briana, and his arm got all caught up in the sleeve, but he finally righted the thing. Briana stepped forward and adjusted his colour, then moved back again.

And still he couldn't speak to her. God, he had missed her.

"I love you, Bri." His voice sounded as if he wanted to cry. Her eyes filled with tears. 

But before Briana could say anything, she heard Taylor clearing his throat loudly behind her. When she turned to look at him, she realized quiet a number of people were looking at them. 

"Taylor, this is Cole. Cole this is Taylor, my course mate." Briana decided to add the last bit when she saw how Cole's eyes had narrowed into slits.

"Hello Taylor." Cole moved forward with his hand extended to greet Taylor. "Could I please borrow your date for a while?" And even before Taylor could speak, Cole was adding a tight "Thanks" and drawing Briana away.

"Cole." Briana admonished in a loud whisper, "That was rude."

"Yeah? Well so is touching another man's girl. That boy was all over you Bri. And what the fuck are you wearing?" Cole added shrugging out of his jacket again. Remembering why he had taken it off in the first place.

"What?" Briana exclaimed incredulously. "I need to use the ladies room Cole."

"Me too." Cole answered acidly, opening the ladies room and entering with Briana. Then he locked it behind them.

Briana looked at him, surprised. "You know this is the women's bathroom right?" she asked with one hand leaning on the counter. She tried to look bored. She hoped it was working. She shouldn't allow this. 

"Yeah," he answered. He continued to stare at her. It started making her heart pound rapidly. 

She knew she had to get out of there. But she just couldn't move.

Cole came closer to her and bent down, leaned in, keeping her stare as he drew closer...closer. Finally, he closed his eyes, and then touched his lips to hers. Soft. For a long moment, he didn't move, didn't seek to deepen the kiss. Didn't do anything. Except begin to shake. 

She felt the tremor against her lips first. Tentatively, Briana touched his shoulder. He shook there too. His abs rippled under her fingers, as well. Raising her hand from his shoulder to his back, she realized he was trembling all over.

"Cole?"

"Bri." Cole whispered against her lips. "Do you have any idea how much I love you?"

Then his hands were in her hair taking out the pins holding her hair up. His hands fisted inside her hair and his tongue plunged into her mouth for a smoldering kiss. For the first time, his kiss was full of desperation. 

It shocked her from head to toe. She gripped him tighter and opened to him. Immediately, she tasted need. He needed her? At the moment, the reasons why they shouldn't be doing this didn't matter. She met his reckless onslaught. Cole grabbed her tighter in greedy acceptance, pulling her body against his. Though Briana hadn't thought it possible, he deepened the kiss. Fast, a whirl of taste and touch, he swept through her mouth. Desire, heavy and warm, flashed in her belly. Clutching him, Briana moaned.

Then when he couldn't resist anymore, he moved down and released those soft heavy creamy globes from the dropping neckline of her dress. They were perfectly round and plump and topped with stiff nipples begging to be sucked.

It made Cole's mouth water. He eagerly took a nipple in his mouth and sucked while his other hand massaged her other breast.

Briana couldn't think straight. She wouldn't have been able to stop him if her life had depended on it. He then lowered his hand and reached underneath her dress. 

He growled against her nipple when he realized she wasn't wearing any panties. 

"Really Bri?" he growled looking at her whiles his long thick digit began invading her wet pussy. He made the little come-hither motion that curled her toes and ignited the familiar but always welcome liquid ache deep inside her belly.

Briana couldn't help the moan that escaped the lips. "The dress wouldn't allow panties Cole." 

"I figured" Cole said with a chuckle.

He went down on his knees and pushed up her dress. He glanced up at her face for a second before he stuck his tongue out and licked her throbbing pussy.

Oh dear God. 

Cole's first pass through her wet, sensitive sex was an electric shock that caused her to gasp. The next was a pleasure bomb that detonated right where she needed it most and forced her to whimper. Her fingers ran through his short hair.

She was so, so close—closer to orgasm than she'd ever dreamed she could be. 

"Cole..." His name on her lips was both a cry and a plea for help. Her legs buckled. Cole picked her up and placed her on the vanity.

He stepped between her knees, working his belt without taking his eyes from hers. Their panting breath mingled in the space between their lips.

"Do you know what it does to me to see you look the way you do tonight?" he asked.

This, obviously. But she wanted to hear him say it. "What?"

"When you look like this, dressed up, all fuckin' provocative with every man wishing you were theirs... makes me just want to take you into my arms. And make you mine all over again."

"I will always be yours." She whispered. "Always."

He tilted her back so that she was resting on her elbows. Then he was bending over her and fitting his mouth right over her sex, his tongue swiping across her clit, providing maximum devastation. 

Her cry filled the restroom as he swooped in for seconds, then thirds, then got really comfortable, as if he planned to stay for a while. 

"God, you taste sweet," he whispered against her slick flesh. "I've got you just where I need you."

He sucked, and she undulated against his mouth, feeling an impending orgasm looming over her. 

"Oh God, oh God, Cole, please...!" was all she could manage when she started coming. He wrapping his arm across her stomach and held her steady as she convulsed against him. The incredible tension she'd been carrying around for so long inside her broke in waves and waves of ecstasy. She didn't care if anyone outside heard her keening cry, or his answering groan that vibrated against her pussy. Her thigh muscles locked as she shuddered and writhed.

Cole pushed up and reached down between them and placed his cock at her soaking entrance. He pushed all the way inside her to the hilt in one thrust. They both moaned in unison.

Briana felt beyond packed full. Her body stretched to accommodate him, but she felt his possession acutely, almost more than physically. It was like Cole was in every corner of her, he was so deep. 

Briana automatically placed her hands around his neck, drawing him down for a kiss. Then he took over and gave her a kiss that sent a hot shock through her body. Gentle but insistent, full of reassurance—that's how Cole's kiss flowed through her. 

They heard someone try to push the door open, but neither of them could stop. Eventually the pushing stopped and the person or people walked away.

Then Cole started to move. Pound was more accurate. He drove inside her with shattering force. And she loved it. She made those delicious sounds he loved to hear. And when he changed his rhythm to more delicious and languorous strokes as he usually does, Briana lost her ability to form coherent words. Her fingers dug into his shoulders as pleasure tore through her body and her pussy throbbed. She screamed and clutched at Cole. 

"Have you thought about this as much as I have?" he murmured against her.

He reached down to find her clit, toying with it lightly and bent to capture a nipple in his mouth, letting his teeth gently scrape her flesh. She bucked and arched as sensation tore through her. 




Velvet Heat Ch. 04



A burning ache broiled between her legs. A line of tingles zinged between her nipple and her clit. God, she didn't know how much she could take. She had to explode. 

Her breathless "Yes" in answer to his question got lost in a scream when everything inside her went kaboom! 

"Oh. My. God" Briana screamed.

Her rhythm became erratic, lost to passion. Pleasure, hot and molten, pooled low in her belly. Brenna shook, jolted, spasmed with the force of the monster climax. Her intense orgasm turned her inside out. And still, Cole kept going, thrusting frenetically inside her. But not for long. A mind blowing orgasm shot down his spine, burned and churned between his legs...then burst all the sensation through his body. Blindly, he sought her mouth, sealed her lips with his, and shoved his tongue into her mouth to tangle with hers. He thrust one last time, pouring himself into her until he had nothing more to give.

"Oh. Holy. Fuck. God, Bri," he groaned against her lips. Slowly, the movements of his hips subsided. She missed that rhythm immediately, didn't want it to end. So when he made a move to pull away, she locked her ankles around him.

His laugh sounded breathless. "I can't stay away from you Bri. I tried. Just love me, Briana." He whispered as he leaned down to claim her lips. "Please." Briana tried to blink away the tears but they spilled and ran down the sides of her face. 

Cole thumbed her tears away. "Oh God, Baby don't cry. I would never want to hurt you. I'm so sorry to have put you through all this." He leaned down and placed a gossamer kiss across her trembling lips. "Will you come home with me? Please?"

"I'm on a date remember?" Briana replied tremulously. 

"How could I forget? Do you have any idea how close I came to sucker punching the idiot?"

Briana laughed softly and hit him on the arm. "He's not an idiot smartass. I did invite him because Jess had to go home last night to be with her mum."

"What's wrong with her mum?"

"I think it's appendicitis or something."

"Ow! Sorry to hear that."

Cole helped Briana clean up and adjust her dress.

"So Taylor." Cole said looking at Briana apply some lip gloss to her lips.

"What of him Cole." Briana asked sounding bored.

"You two are just course mates right?"

"That's what I said right?" Briana retorted.

"Yeah. Was just checking."

Briana turned to look at Cole and was surprised to see a look of sheer vulnerability etched on his face.

"Hey." She said hugging him around his waist. "He's just a friend. Okay?"

"Okay."

"What happened to the confident Cole I know?"

"He got scared." Cole whispered.

"Well I want him back." Briana went up on her toes and kissed Cole with all the love she felt for him. "I love you. And nothing can change that." 

"You didn't answer my question."

"Yes I will. But Taylor..."

"I'll take care of that. Come on."

When Cole and Briana came out of the bathroom, Briana had on Cole's jacket which he had insisted she wear. 

"Sorry ladies" Cole said to two ladies who were trying to get in and got a giggle out of them making Briana blush.

"Well it's about time." Said an amused female voice. 

They both looked up to see a smiling Kayla, who looked like the cat who ate the canary. 

"For fuck's sake didn't you think some ladies would wanna use their space Cole?" Kayla threw Cole a dirty look whiles hugging Briana.

"So sue me." Cole drawled turning to say hello to a couple.

"Yeah wait for it." Kayla retorted.

"He doesn't need that space girlfriend. It's rather killing him. That guy is crazy about you. Please?" Kayla whispered into Briana's ears.

"I know that now. No more space. Taking back what is rightfully mine." Briana whispered back.

"That's my girl. Thanks." 

Then Cole was taking Briana by the hand and dragging her to his side.

"Now where's Taylor?"

"Oh Briana's friend? He found the love of his life. You two wanna bounce? Go right ahead." Then turning back to look at their stunned faces, she added, "Trust me." Then with a sassy wink at the two of them, turned to walk away.

"You're one in a million Kay." Cole shouted to her departing back. Because he knew somehow, Kayla had been responsible for all this.

"Come on Bri."

"Cole I feel like I'm abandoning him. At least I need to say bye." Just then they saw Taylor in a tight embrace with a pretty blonde who looked like Taylor was the next best thing since sliced bread.

"Ok go say bye."

Briana went to the dancing couple and tapped lightly on Taylor's shoulder.

"Hey Bri. Sup?"

"I've gotta bounce Ty. Hope you're cool."

"Yeah I'm cool. Say hi to Trisha Bri."

"Hi there Trisha." Briana said with a smile at the blonde.

"Hello Briana. Thanks for bringing him. I owe you one." She said with a wink.

"Pleasure was mine. See you in school Ty."

"Sure Bri. And treat him well. He's crazy about you." 

"Yeah I know. And I intend to treat him so well he's never gonna wanna let me go."

"Did you just quote 'Pretty Woman'?" Taylor asked roaring with laughter.

"I did. Bye Ty." Briana turned still laughing and found herself in Cole's arms.

"Shall we?"

"Yes Sir."

***

When Briana woke up on Saturday afternoon in Cole's bed, she was alone. She stretched and felt sore all over, deliciously sore. With the marathon sex they had had till dawn, she wasn't surprised. Slipping out of bed, she found his white shirt on the floor and shrugged it on. After a quick trip to the bathroom, she went searching for him.

She eventually followed laughter to his den or his 'boyz ghetto' as he called it. There was a loud chorus of laughter. A couple of bangs, like heavy fists hitting a table. It sounded like there were a lot of guys in there. It probably would've been smart to get dressed first, but she just wanted to see Cole. For some reason she was missing him. She needed to see him just to assure herself that this wasn't a dream. God knew just how many dreams she had had with similar settings only to wake up in her own bed. She couldn't count the number of times she had cried herself back to sleep. She just had to see him!

The instant she appeared in the doorway, all talk ceased. Heads turned; eyes stared. Hard-core rap expanded to fill the silence, bass thumping, lyrics chanting. Briana was sure she'd never been the attention of so many men at the same time before in her life.

She took a step backward just as Cole shot to his feet from where he had been sitting, playing a video came with one of the guys. Even in sweats and t-shirt, he looked delicious. He came at her, looking intense. No doubt she'd interrupted some kind of sacred guy time. She tried to think of something to say to him. He was probably going to want to play it cool in front of his buddies, do that whole I'm-a-tough-guy, this-broad-is-just-a—

Cole wrapped his whole body around hers, putting his face in her hair and breathing in deeply.

"You smell fantastic. Did you sleep well," he whispered in her ear while running his hands up and down her back.

"Yes."

He pulled away and gave her a scorching kiss on the lips. Then Briana heard the whistles from the guys and blushed to the roots of her hair. But Cole only laughed delightedly and tenderly, smoothed back her disheveled hair.

Briana grinned. Evidently, her man didn't have a problem with display of affection in front of his 'boyz'. Good to know. She tilted her head, looking around his shoulder. The guys were gaping. Positively gaping. She nearly laughed. Seeing a bunch of attractive looking guys who looked successful playing video games was incongruous enough. But having them stare so openly at her as if they had never seen a female before seemed downright absurd.

"You want to introduce me?" she said, nodding at the group.

Cole put his arm around her shoulders, tucking her against him. He nodded to the handsome black one. "Matt, you already know, unfortunately. That hulk look alike over there is Tyron. The one with the nasty goatee is Chris. The idiot over there is Kyle. And that is crazy Dean and his partner in crime, Michael. Damon is on his way."

"Gentlemen," Cole said. "This is Briana, the love of my life."

There was a chorus of 'hi's and 'hello's around. Then Matt came over to give her a hug. "Good to see you again Beautiful. How have you been?"

"I've been good Matt. How's Jen?"

"She's ok. Driving me up the wall. But I love her." He said with a scowl making Briana laugh.

"Good. Do say hi to her when you go home."

"I'll do that." Matt said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Do you need anything Bri?" Cole asked. "Are you hungry?"

She put her hand on her stomach. "You know, I am."

"I'll go get you something. Sit down." He indicated his chair and then headed off through a swinging door.

Then the one called Tyron was coming over to her with a wide smile on his face. "Now it's my turn to hug you Sweet Briana."

With a laugh she went into his arms. She realized there was actually a queue. Was everyone planning on hugging her? 

'Great.' Here she was, naked under Cole's shirt, being hugged by sexy hunks. 'Just great.' 

After hugging all of them, she headed for a seat around a mini dining table. But before she could sit, a new voice shouted.

"Yo, what did I miss?"

Briana turned to look in the direction the voice had come from and saw the most handsome man she had ever seen walking into the den. 

Dean was the one who spoke up. "This is the lovely Briana. Cole's 'last stop'." What did he mean by that, Briana wondered. No wonder Cole had called him crazy. Last stop? "You're just in time for your hug."

"Hello Briana. Finally I get to meet you." The Adonis came towards her with a heart stopping smile. "I'm Damon. And don't hesitate to look my way when you eventually dump that fool. Come here." He finished with his arms stretched wide waiting for his hug. 

But Briana held Damon off by lightly pushing at his chest before he could draw her into his arms. Then she looked him straight in the eye with an intensity that would have frozen the devil himself.

"What makes you think I would ever dump him?" She asked Damon in a steady voice. "I love him too much to dump him Damon. I don't even want to think about that. Not even as a joke. For me, this is it. Now you have to accept that before I give you a hug. Oh and even if we do part ways, I'll probably remain a spinster for life because I don't think anyone can take his place in my heart. No one holds a candle to my Cole." Briana's voice caught on the last sentence. "So me looking your way...not gonna happen!" She finished with a slow shake of her head.

Briana heard a collective gasp from the guys. She had actually forgotten they had an audience. Then the clapping started. And she didn't know what to do. Then Cole was there picking her up by the waist and twirling her around. The rap music continued to pound. She buried her face in the crook of Cole's neck and thanked God for the tight hold of his arms around her waist as she was getting light headed. Then she remembered...

"Cole," She whispered urgently into his ears, "I'm not wearing any panties."

Before she guessed his intent, he drew her head down and his lips closed on hers as he kissed her with so much love tears sprung to her eyes. Then he walked out of the den with her in still his arms, their lips still attached. He didn't stop kissing her even as he walked and Briana could feel his erection rub against her with each step he took. The noise faded and suddenly Cole was pushing her against a wall. 

"Put your legs around my waist." He said huskily.

Briana lifted both of her legs and folded them around his hips.

Then she felt his cock probing at her entrance, all thick and ready. Breath held, she clung to his shoulders, waiting. He eased the tip inside, and even that hard bit of him felt like heaven. 

"Briana Scott" he said, voice strained. "I love you more than life itself."

With that, he pushed her hips down as he thrust up. Briana cried out in ecstasy. Cole kept pushing his way inside, probing past nerve endings with the wide head of his cock, awakening them, leaving tingles screaming in his wake. He made her need soar, and it seemed like forever until he was buried to the hilt. 

Oh, God, she needed to come so bad.

Without warning, he withdrew nearly all the way, then eased back in, much gentler than before. She swore she could feel every inch, every vein, of his cock rasping across suddenly sensitive flesh inside her. She choked out his name. Cole brought agonizing pleasure with every slow stroke, every rub of the swollen head of his cock right over the flesh inside that had her gasping. Her breath caught, mouth falling open as her head fell back. The tip of his tongue traced the length of her throat.

"You feel so sweet." He murmured against her throat as he thrust inside her again.

She tried to hold on, hold out against the pleasure threatening to sweep away her sanity. But with the next hard stroke of his cock, a swift and strong orgasm engulfed her. Wave after wave of ecstasy swept through her, each contraction seeming to allow him deeper. So deep she didn't think she could take any more, but she did. 

She couldn't control the cry that wrenched from her throat and prayed the guys wouldn't hear her in the den. Her nails bit into his shoulders and she squeezed him with her internal muscles making him groan loudly. At this rate, she knew they just might be heard but then realized she was beyond caring.

"Holy fuck," he breathed against her neck. "Oh my God. Baby that feels so good."

Then he began to move against her harder and faster. Each movement rubbed her clit, splintering her inside. Briana crushed their mouths together and her lips opened for his, her tongue battling his the moment they touched. Her legs wrapped tightly around his plunging hips and she trembled as the orgasmic aftershocks that pulsed within her began to turn into something else... She couldn't breathe. The intensity of the feeling rocked her emotions and she fought against it. She wasn't prepared for the onslaught of such bliss. It was too much to accept. 

"Cole... I can't." She pushed against his shoulder, frightened of what she felt.

"Shh. Stop trying to control the sensations Bri. Just let go. I've got you."

Her eyes were scrunched closed. She couldn't.

"Briana, open your eyes." Cole whispered.

She opened her eyes. The expression on Cole's face, full of hunger and need, open and loving, tore through Briana like a bullet. 

"I love you, so much." Cole declared in a shaky voice. "I can't breathe without you near." He pressed Briana's palm to his chest, over his heart. "No one else will do. I know this like I know my name."

Thick emotion clogged Briana's throat. She couldn't talk. But she knew she didn't need to. He already knew how she felt about him.

He moved within her. In. Out. Each time bringing her closer to an explosion. She felt it surging within her. Ripples of agonizing pleasure flushed out from her pelvis and rocketed through her. Then she was coming again, arching against him, crying out as her pussy milked him in wave after wave of crashing climax. He held tight to her, letting her ride out the wild, insane orgasm, kissing the tears that fell down her cheek.

Then Cole felt it. The most exquisite sensation. Pleasure driving through his cock and bursting out across his body. A wave of dizziness crashed over him. His toes tingled. A strangled male cry filled the air then. Briana cried out at the feel of his semen rushing through her, seeping into the very pores of her still spasming flesh, easing the flaming lust, soaking into her womb.

Her voice was hoarse from screaming. Could anything feel better than this? God, it was good. Mind-bogglingly good. The next thing she knew, Cole was tapping her on the cheeks and saying something, his voice worried.

"Bri? Come on, love, talk to me."

"Hm?" She was so limp she could barely move. "Talk about what?"

"Oh Baby are you ok?" Cole asked looking worried.

"Yes. Why do you look so worried?"

"You passed out." Cole told her looking relieved.

Still struggling to catch his breath, he looked into her flushed face, her swollen lips, the relaxed set of her shoulders and knew in his heart that for him too, this was it.

"Marry me." Cole said breathlessly, his voice filled with so much emotion.

Briana gasped!

"Cole?" They heard Michael's voice just before he rounded the corner and seeing them, came to a halt.

Briana, who could see Michael directly, quickly hid her face in the crook of Cole's neck with an embarrassed groan. 

"Sorry." Michael said in an amused voice. And not taking his eyes off them, casually leaned against a wall. "Dude we need to talk." He said looking at Cole's back.

"This is not a good time Doc. A little privacy please...?"

"Yeah right. If you wanted privacy you would have exercised control till you got into your room." 

"Dude!" Michael growled.

"Ok ok but we really need to talk man." Then he turned and left.

Still inside Briana, Cole started walking towards the stairs. She shuddered as his cock shifted with each movement.

"Sorry about that Baby." He whispered to the still hiding Briana.

By the time they got to his bedroom, he was fully hard again inside her and proceeded to make a rather sweet slow languid love to her. Her cries were music in his ears and when he looked down to watch himself disappear over and over inside her pink folds, so wet and pretty, the sight was almost his undoing. How many damn times would she undo him?

When she came, he felt it. She gripped him so hard and drew him so deep when she climaxed he couldn't breathe. Her thigh muscles went rock hard around his hips. Her nipples pulled tight within the confines of his shirt. Color roared high in her cheeks. Right in front of him, she blossomed all over, and it was a thing of fucking beauty.

He followed her lead. How could he not? His chest constricted as his release shot through. For one moment, their gazes locked, and then their mouths melded furiously as he pumped his seed into her. She drank in his moans and stroked his back as she squeezed the last drop from him with her own aftershocks.

"Oh my God," she sighed, that soft coming-down sigh he already recognized and loved. She drew his head down to rest on her shoulder as he struggled to catch his breath.

"I will." She said so softly he almost didn't catch it.

He lifted his head and looked into her eyes. The glazed blue eyes staring at him contained so much love he gasped. Briana leaned forward and kissed him sweetly, stroking his tongue with hers.

She eased back and stroked his eyebrow with her thumb. "I will marry you." She said.

Cole shook his head trying to concentrate on what Briana was saying. There was something so sexy about a well-fucked woman. Especially when she was as beautiful as Briana. 

She cleared her throat and tried to get out of the bed.

"You didn't mean it." She said shakily.

"The hell I didn't." Cole said pushing Briana back down. "And who said I was asking? There's no way I was going to take NO for an answer."

"Cocky ain't we?"

Cole grinned and leaned down to drop a kiss on her lips.

"Thought you wanted your confident Cole back. Bri I called your Dad this morning. I'm going to see him tomorrow. To ask for your hand in marriage."

"What? Even before asking me?" She screeched.

"I told you I wasn't going to take NO for an answer didn't I?"

"Cole..."

"Are you so ashamed of me you don't want your parents to know I can't get enough of their daughter?" Cole asked bending to draw a nipple into his mouth through the shirt.

"Oh God...Cole stop that. It makes it difficult to think." Briana protested whiles at the same time holding Cole head to her nipple. For reasons she couldn't understand, Cole drawing on her nipples with his teeth through the fabric of the shirt was causing a zip of electric thrill to race through her spine. The feeling was pure bliss.




Velvet Heat Ch. 04



"I don't want you to think." Cole murmured against her nipple, moving to give the other equal attention.

Briana laughed at that.

"Cole we need to talk about this."

"What is there to talk about Briana? I watched you lying in my bed this morning. Looking so beautiful and sweet and just knew I wanted to see you in my bed every morning for the rest of my life. You belong here Bri. Don't give me the satisfaction of having to tie you to this bed by refusing." He murmured the last part, moving down to trail kisses down her tummy. 

"I've already accepted remember?" Briana said laughing uncontrollably. Her stomach chose that moment to growl.

Cole howled with laughter. 

"I'm so sorry baby. You need to eat. Come on." Cole said getting up and drawing Briana after him.

"Yeah what happened to you going to bring me food down at the den?"

"Hmm I came back to tell you exactly what was available and ask what you would prefer. And what do I find? My wife to be, lightening into Mr. America. I really wish I had recorded that. That was...a-ma-zing! I've never felt so proud and loved." He dropped a kiss on her swollen lips. "Now let's go get something into that tummy of yours."

"No Cole. I need to take a shower first. I'll be right down. Besides Michael did say he wanted to talk to you remember?"

"Okay. But don't take too long otherwise I'm coming in there okay?"

"Okay."

Then giving her a quick kiss, Cole left the room.

***

"Jesus, Mickey. You've gotta be shittin' me!"

"I'm so sorry dude. But she said she was gonna tell Mary. And I just couldn't allow that Cole. She's pregnant. I just wanted to buy a little time till she at least gets past the first trimester or you found out the truth about Janice's fake pregnancy yourself. But then I saw you with Briana and saw how serious you were about her and knew how worried you must be over this fake pregnancy. This will kill Mary Cole." He finished in an anguished whisper.

"Yeah I know. But fuck dude, why the fuck did you have to do it. I thought you two were...tight."

Michael squeezed the bridge of his nose tightly and groaned. "It was just a moment of weakness. Come on you know how it is."

"Yeah but that's some shit bro. You know you've gotta tell her right? Better she hears it from you than that bitch dude."

The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Shouted Dean who was coming out of the kitchen, his mouth full of sandwich.

Kayla entered the living room where almost all the guys were relaxing.

"Hello there my love." Dean said attempting to kiss Kayla on the lip.

"Fuck off dude. Where the hell is Michael?"

"He's fucking married Kay. You actually prefer him to me? Mary's gonna make minced meat out of you."

Kayla looked around ignoring the 'hi's and 'hello's from the guys. She spotted Michael standing with Cole and walk over to them with so much anger on her beautiful face. Then before anyone could understand her intent, she delivered a heavy punch right on the nose of Michael.

"What the fuc..." But before Michael could even finish what he was saying, Kayla was giving him a solid kick in the groin.

"You son-of-a-bitch." She said through clenched teeth. Ignoring a kneeling Michael who was groaning as if his balls had detached from his body, Kayla looked up at Cole and said with all the anger she was feeling:

"He lied."

"I know." Cole said softly. "He told me."

"When?"

"Just now. Kay he was being blackmailed by Janice. She caught him with Vicky."

"I don't fucking care. You are his friend. He should have known better than to lie to you."

"I'm sorry." Michael whined still clutching his groin.

"Give me your hand Kay." Damon said from behind Kayla.

She turned and gave him a grateful smile, allowing him to wrap her hand in ice.

"That was some left hook." Tyron commented in an amused voice.

"Yeah, he taught me." She said tilting her heard towards Cole.

"And right now, I'm a proud teacher." Cole said with a grin. "Hell I wanted to do that myself. But not for me...for Mary."

"Ok now will somebody tell me what the good doctor did?" Matt asked.

"I cheated on Mary." Michael said quietly.

"The fuck, dude?" Chris shouted incredulously. He did look shocked and pissed too. After all Mary was his favorite cousin.

"Well that's not all he did." Kayla started.

"Kay..." Cole said in a warning tone.

She huffed and moved towards the kitchen with a scowl. "Where's Briana by the way?" She asked.

"Upstairs." Cole answered.

"Getting a well-deserved rest." Dean added with a smirk.

"Fuck off." Cole muttered with a laugh.

"Ok spill it Mickey. What did you do?" Chris asked still sounding pissed.

Michael got to his feet with a wince and didn't miss Cole's happy grin.

"Enjoying this are you?" He asked Cole with a glare.

"You bet I am." Cole replied with a laugh. For some reason, he couldn't get angry at Michael. After all he had his Briana and he was relieved he didn't have anything to worry about where Janice was concerned.

Michael narrated everything to the guys and they all seemed angry not with the fact that he had lied to Cole, after all he was only trying to protect a pregnant Mary, but for cheating on his adorable wife. They all liked her.

"Guys, it can happen to all of us. Give him a break." Cole told them.

"Yeah but this shouldn't happen again dude." Chris said in a very serious tone.

"It won't. Trust me." Michael said with so much feeling.

"And you've gotta tell her before that bitch..." Matt started but Kayla cut him off with her vehement...

"She won't."

"You sure about that Kay?"

"Damn straight. Not after what I did to her this morning. She ain't gonna spill nothing."

"Thanks Kay. But I still want to tell Mary. Enough of the lies."

"Err...dude, you sure about that? I wouldn't. What she doesn't know won't hurt her right?" Damon drawled.

"I'll know." Michael said quietly.

"You'll be okay bro." Matt tapped him on the back. And just like that, all the guys were showing their support. 

"How are the balls?" Chris asked with a smirk.

"Fuck you." Michael muttered.

"In your dreams dude. Yo Kay, what would you want me to buy for you? Platform heels, bikini, thongs, you just name it." Chris shouted, going over to pick Kayla up and twirl her around. 

Briana came down to see a squealing Kayla in Chris's arms, with all the guys except Kyle looking on in amusement. Then she noticed some blood on Michael's nose.

"What happened to you Michael?" she asked going closer to him.

"Kayla happened to him." Dean said roaring with laughter.

"It's a long story Hon. Michael is fine." Cole told her, drawing her towards the kitchen.

"You didn't hit him did you?" She asked Cole with a loud whisper. 

"No no. Why would I do that?"

His answer seemed to satisfy her. "Let me go say hello to Kayla. Will be right back. Where is Kyle?"

"Asleep in the den." 

"Okay."

Briana went to Kayla and saw the swellings on her knuckles. Giving her a hug, she looked pointedly at her hand. Kayla noticed the direction of her eyes and gave her a huge grin.

"Long story." Kayla said her grin downright mischievous.

Briana turned to look at Michael, remembering what Dean had said about Kayla happening to him.

"Is he going to be okay? He looks...sad." She asked Kayla softly.

"I'll handle it." Kayla said starting towards Michael.

Michael saw Kayla approach and actually looked scared. What the fuck had she done to him to get him so wary of her Briana wondered. Then Kayla was stepping into Michael's arms and giving him a long tight hug. The doctor actually looked like he was going to cry.

Due to her concentration on the two, still wondering what had happened, she failed to see Damon's approach. She only noticed he was standing beside her when he called her name softly.

"Hey." She said looking at his beautiful face. The guy really did look angelic.

"Listen Briana, I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier." He started.

"No no forget about it. I overreacted." She said turning pink when she remembered her reaction and what had followed.

"No you didn't overreact." Damon countered. "I was out of line and I'm sorry."

Briana simply opened her arms and gave Damon a squeeze hug.

"Treat him good. He loves you." Damon whispered into her ears.

"I know and I will. Promise." Briana whispered back.

Damon gave Briana a kiss on the forehead and allowed her to go as her stomach grumbled again.

"He's starving you already. Girl, I'd never starve you." Damon gushed before quickly covering his mouth with his palm. The look on his face was so comical that Briana roared with laughter.

"You're nuts Damon." It was obvious he flirted with anything in skirt.

And still laughing irrepressibly, she turned in the direction of the kitchen and Cole.

***

For the first time in a long time, Cole actually had sweaty palms. The last time he had gotten this nervous was when he had been called into the Principal's office in second grade. He said a quick prayer and knocked on the door of Briana's house. Mr. Scott had said he was going to wait at home for him as he had traveled all the way from LA to see him. Cole was sure Elaine Scott, Briana's mother was out. And knowing Sean Scott, Briana's brother, home was the last place he would be on a Sunday afternoon.

Their butler, Frank, opened the door and gave a brilliant smile when he saw Cole.

"Hi Frank. Uncle Nick in?"

"Good to see you Cole. He's waiting for you on the patio. What should I bring you to drink?"

"Need you ask Frank? I've been dreaming of your lemonade for years now. I'd love to have that if you have it please."

"Of course we do. Chilled lemonade coming right up." Frank said with a laugh. He had always had a soft spot for Cole.

Cole walked out onto the patio and saw Nick Scott on his phone. He waved Cole into a chair, still talking into the phone.

"Look Dan, tell them to do the best they can. I'll fly out there next week and finalize everything. Talk to you tomorrow." He said, hanging up the phone.

"Hey Cole." Nick said coming over to give Cole a hug. "How's LA?"

"Good Uncle Nick."

"And how's Briana doing? Hope you're keeping an eye on her."

Cole's mouth went dry. He wondered what Nick Scott's reaction would be if he knew just what he had also been keeping IN her. Oh and what a blissfully orgasmic place that was.

"She's good Uncle Nick."

"Good to know."

Frank brought a large pitcher of lemonade with two glasses and poured some for both of them.

"Thanks Frank." Nick Scott thanked the butler, who then excused himself.

"So, what's so important you had to come all the way to discuss with me?"

Cole realized he had suddenly lost his nerve and hastily reached for the glass of lemonade. His mouth was so dry he needed to moisten it. When he placed the glass back down, he noticed Briana's dad looking at him intently. 

"I want to ask for Briana's hand in marriage Sir." Cole blurted it out.

Nick Scott was quiet for a long time, staring at Cole. After a long while, he cleared his throat and asked in a gruff voice, "Is she pregnant?"

"No. Not at all Sir." Cole's surprise at the question was obvious to the older man.

Another long silence.

"How long have you two been s...dating?" Had he almost said sleeping together? Cole wondered.

"For the past five months Sir."

"Oh you mean since you last came home to visit."

It wasn't a question.

"Yes Sir."

"Why do you want to marry her Cole?"

Why else would he want to marry her? She fucking had him by the balls...in a good way.

"I'm nothing without her Uncle Nick. I'm so much in love with her that just the thought of not being with her gives me a physical pain here." Cole touched his chest. "I...I just can't live without her. I won't!" He finished in a shaky but grave voice. 

He felt wetness on his cheeks and furiously wiped it off. What the fuck was wrong with him? He hadn't even known when those tears had escaped.

Nick Scott watched the determined young man in front of him with surprise. Did he even have a say in the matter? It looked like Cole was only there to inform him not to ask.

"Well you can still be together if you continue dating. You don't have to get married to be together." Nick countered in a hard voice.

"Not good enough Sir." Cole replied in an equally strong voice staring Nick straight in the eye.

He saw Briana's father reach for his phone, then saw him dial someone's number. Nick Scott had obviously put the phone on speaker because the next thing he heard was Briana's soft voice...

"Hi Daddy." And just like that, his heart started beating rapidly. Just her voice could do that to him? God he was so messed up. And he wanted to stay that way forever.

"You love him?" Nick asked his daughter straight away.

"With all my heart Daddy." She replied with a catch in her voice. There was a short silence. Then with a sigh, Nick spoke calmly to his daughter. 

"Ok pumpkin. Talk to you later. I love you."

"Love you too Daddy."

Then Nick Scott cut the line.

"You've got my blessing."

'Whoa! Just like that?' Cole thought.

"Thank you Sir." He said out loud with so much gratitude in his voice. 

"And Cole," Nick Scott continued in a deceptively calm voice, "You fuck her up, I'm gonna kill you."

"I'll do right by her I promise Uncle Nick."

"You had better son. She's my baby. Wait till you have yours. Then you'll understand how I feel. And please don't keep her away from me. Please!"

Cole looked up and saw tears in Nick's eyes. Wow!

He couldn't talk past the lump in his throat so he simply nodded.

The older man cleared his throat and wiped his eyes.

"I say we drink something stronger don't you think?" Nick Scott said in a hoarse voice. At Cole's nod, he called for Frank. The butler appeared immediately making Cole wonder whether he had been standing just inside the door eavesdropping? 

"Bring us a bottle of Courvoisier Frank."

"Right away Mr. Scott." And when he turned to go, he gave Cole a wink. Yes, he had been listening.

Cole grinned. He was so happy he was feeling light headed.

When they had both poured generous portions into their glasses, Nick raised his glass and toasted, "To a happy life."

"To a happy life." Cole repeated and both drained their glasses.

"Seen your dad ye..."

"Nick?" Elaine Scott's sweet voice drifted out to them. "There you are. Oh Cole. How are you doing my dear?" She asked giving him a hug. 

"I'm good Auntie E."

"You look good. What brings you here? Hope all's well."

"He's going to marry your daughter. He came to tell us. Of course he started by asking but...he actually only came to inform us. And I gave him my blessings."

Elaine Scott's mouth had been opened throughout her husband's narration.

She closed it and turned to look at Cole. 

"Well what can I say Nick? You know us Scott women...you get just one taste and you've gotta have it for the rest of your life."

"Wha...what?" Cole croaked staring at the woman who looked so much like her daughter.

"Ow come on Cole. You really think I didn't know? I didn't say anything because I knew you were stuck even if you didn't know it yourself. And did I tell you what I liked best about Cole Nick?" She asked turning to look at her husband. At his smile, she turned back to Cole, ignoring the fact that he had turned red to the roots of his hair.

"He goes after whatever he wants and doesn't stop till he gets it. Now tell me Nick, who wouldn't want a son like that? Come here son."

Cole rose like a zombie and walked into Elaine's outstretched arms and got engulfed in a warm motherly embrace.

"Thanks." He whispered into her ears.

"Be happy." She whispered back.

Stepping back, she accepted the handkerchief her husband gave her and wiped the tears from her face. 

"So...we've got a wedding to plan huh?" Elaine said looking at Cole.

"Who's wedding?" Sean asking waking out onto the patio. "Oh hey Cole. Sup man?" He went over to give Cole a one-armed hug. For a sixteen year old boy, Briana's kid brother sure did look all grown up.

"Your sister is getting married." Elaine answered his question.

"To Cole?" Sean asked his mum.

"Yes."

"Now that's what I'm talking about. No need to welcome you into the family bro. You've always been part. I'm happy for you. She ever gives you grief, talk to me. I know how to handle her. For a fee of course."

"I'll remember that. Thanks Sean." Cole said with a laugh.

"What if he gives your sister grief Sean? Then what?" Nick asked his son.

"Not gonna happen. She's got him whipped!" Sean answered with a shrug.

His parents and Cole burst out laughing.

"Treat her well yeah?" Sean told Cole solemnly. 

"You can bet on that bro." Cole answered equally seriously.

Both guys did the one arm hug thing and sat. 

"So, when is the wedding?" Elaine asked.

"Why the rush Hon? They can stay engaged till Bri finishes school." Nick said.

"Hell no." Elaine exclaimed. "No way am I going to allow my daughter to walk down the aisle in a maternity wedding gown."

"She's not pregnant Elaine." Nick muttered.

"And I am not going to wait till she is. Look at him Nick" Elaine said pointing at Cole. "You really think your daughter is going to be able to keep her hands off him?"

"I'm so out of here." Sean said rushing to the door. "Say hi to Bri Cole."

"Will do Sean." Cole answered in a strangled voice. God, he needed to get out of here.

"Auntie..." He started but got shot down before he could go any further.

"That's mum to you young man." Elaine admonished.

With a happy smile, he went on...

"Mum, I need to discuss the date with Briana first but I also vote for as soon as possible."

"You sure you haven't knocked her up already son?" Nick asked again looking Cole in the eye.

"I haven't Sir."

"Dad." Nick said in a stern voice. "You've got two now." He added in a softer voice.

"I've always had two." Cole said shakily struggling to contain the emotion threatening to crack his voice. "Thanks Dad. But the last time I saw her, Briana wasn't pregnant." And he sure was thankful for that because he didn't want to disappoint Nick Scott.

"Well I still don't want to take chances." Elaine argued, "I want the wedding now. You talk to your fiancée while I start with the planning." 

Nick Scott rolled his eyes at his wife. 

"This is how it's gonna be son; you kids must at least wait till she's done with her freshman year. And no kids till she's done with college. That's the only way I'm gonna accept this. So bear that in mind when you have that talk with my daughter." Nick Scott said looking like the hard business man that he was. And Cole knew he was dead serious. He thought his suggestion was perfect though.

"I like that suggestion actually Un...Dad. Works for me just fine. And I'm sure Briana will be ok with it too."

"Oh it's going to be grand." Elaine gushed with so much delight.

"I will call you immediately Briana and I have a talk. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your support and I promised to make her happy till we both leave this world. And if there is life after that, I'll continue loving and making her happy then." Cole said with a smile.

"Oh you can continue when you leave here. I hear it's possible." Elaine deadpanned. 

"Honey leave the boy alone." Nick laughingly told his wife.

"Alright alright. I'm just so happy." She gushed drawing Cole into a smothering embrace.

When Cole eventually left the Scott household, it was with a bounce in his step. He was walking on air. He had Briana's parents' full blessings to marry her. He was ecstatic. Everything was going so great. 

Little did he know...



Velvet Heat Ch. 05



Comments, critiques and tips are welcome. 

***

Who was at the door? Briana wondered. Cole wouldn't ring the bell because he had a key. Briana leapt from bed, her short flared bareback dress swishing sexily around her thighs. She rushed downstairs to check out who it was. Surprisingly she hadn't heard from Cole. He should have been home by now. Home! It felt good to think of Cole's house as home. She was busting with nerves. She didn't know how her parents took the news or whether they had accepted Cole's request. If the way her dad had spoken to her was anything to go by, they accepted. On the other hand, Cole's silence gave all indications that all was not well. Somebody should just put her out of her misery already!

Briana checked the security slot, saw Matt and Jen and threw the door wide open.

"Hey there Beautiful." Matt beamed drawing Briana into a bear hug.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Don't you want us here?" Matt asked with a mock scowl whilst Jen's laughter rang out sweetly.

"I just want Jen to tell me she's here because of me and not Cole. Oh and for your information, Cole is not here."

"I AM here because of you darling." Jen said giving Briana a kiss on each cheek. "And as for Cole, we knew he wasn't here." She said allowing Matt to take her coat.

"He should have been home by now. I've tried calling him but his phone is off." Briana said sounding worried.

"Maybe you should call him with this." Matt said handing Briana a nicely wrapped box.

"Wha..."

"Just unwrap it woman. What will you drink Honey?" Matt asked Jen, his fiancée of four months.

"Any sweet wine will do Baby." Jen replied watching Matt with so much love Briana smiled. "Ok take it out Briana. Let's see what it is." Jen told Briana excitedly.

But even before Briana could finish unwrapping the box, she heard a phone ringing inside it. She dug inside and took out a Blackberry Z10 with a silver-studded cover which was still ringing. Briana couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. She loved this phone.

"Hello?" She said breathlessly into the phone.

"Hey." Came Cole's sexy voice. "How do you like your new phone?"

"Oh my God, Cole, I love it." Briana couldn't suppress the happy laughter that bubbled up. "Thanks."

"Pleasure. I'll be home soon okay?"

"Okay."

"I love you."

"I love you." Briana responded and quickly hanged up to check out the phone.

"Alright now what to do whiles I wait for that Asshat." Matt said looking through Cole's music collection. But before he could even select one, the doorbell rang again.

"I'll get it." Briana said rushing to the door. She couldn't keep the smile off her face. And this time she didn't bother checking to see who it was. She simply threw the door open to find Michael and a really lovely lady who Briana couldn't help but notice was pregnant. She was a beauty.

"You must be Briana." The lady said in a sweet voice.

"Yes I am. Hey Michael." Briana blushed furiously remembering the position in which Michael had seen her the day before. That shameless Cole will be the death of her. 

Michael could tell Briana's thought by taking in how red her face had become and drew her into his arms, asking teasingly, "You guys ready to give me another style to use today? Because Mary and I had fun doing yesterday's."

Briana yelped with laughter and swatted him, her embarrassment forgotten. "You are an asshole Michael."

"Good to see you too Sweetie. This here is my beautiful wife Mary."

"Hi Mary." Briana said giving Mary a hug. "You are so beautiful."

"Thanks. And you are simply gorgeous. I love that dress. It's hot."

Briana blushed and murmured her thanks drawing Mary into the living room where Jen and Matt were kissing like nothing else existed.

"Break it up you two." Michael bellowed at them.

There were hugs all around. Then Michael handed over another sweetly wrapped box to Briana. 

"From you know who. Open it." He said with a teasing glint in his eye.

Laughing with a surprised look on her face, Briana opened it quickly but before she could expose the gift inside, she saw a leaflet inside the box and gasped as she read it. It was a Rolex Datejust Ladies Watch which had a case made of white gold that weighed 18 karats. The case was also set with diamonds. It had a pave case and dial with an oyster karat bracelet. Briana removed the leaflet and stared dumfounded at the exquisite watch inside the box. Inside the lid was an inscription: 'whenever I think of perfection, I think of you.'

"Breathe Briana, breathe." Matt said softly.

"Oh my God!" Briana whispered. This obviously must have cost a fortune. What in blazes did Cole think he was doing?

Jen took the box from her and took out the watch. Then dropping the box on a side table, took Briana's left hand and fixed the watch on her wrist.

"This is simply lovely." Jen whispered but everyone heard and nodded their agreement. Briana was so much engrossed in the watch on her wrist she jumped when there was a loud knock on the door.

"That can only be Dean the idiot. Did he see the bell at all? Briana, go get it." Matt said going to the bar for more drink.

Briana opened the door warily, wondering what was coming next. The latest Blackberry, an expensive watch, what next? 

It was Dean and Kyle. Dean had in his hand a wrapped box and Kyle's were filled with six beautiful ultra-long red roses which were up to 6ft tall, accompanied by a personalized note card which said 'I desire nobody but you.' They were simply exquisite. Briana burst into tears. 

"I don't think she likes roses." Dean whispered loudly to Kyle.

"Fuck of Dean. Come here Angel." Kyle said drawing Briana into his arms with one hand.

"You know these are very expensive Kyle, we can always go pawn it off and tell Cole she's allergic or something. She has tears in her eyes for goodness sake. She must be allergic."

"Shut up Dean." Briana said though her tears, starting to shake with mirth. "I love them."

"Damn! And here I was, thinking I could make a quick buck." Dean groaned pulling Briana into a hug too. "You better hide them or I swear I'll steal them."

"You wouldn't dare." Briana said laughing. She was overwhelmed by all the gifts. Who wouldn't be?

"We're crazy about you sweetie. All of us, not just the Dickhead. Be happy." He added in a whisper.

"Thanks Dean." Briana whispered back.

"Here..." Dean said handing over the nicely wrapped box he was holding.

She noticed that the box was also accompanied by a personalized note card. It said 'You complete me'. She tore the wrapper with shaky fingers, her eyes widening when she uncovered a bejewelled jewellery box. But when she opened it, she gasped loudly, her hand going to her chest. Jen and Mary couldn't contain their gasps either. Even the guys looked awed. And then Matt started singing 'Diamonds are Forever', the James Bond soundtrack in his deep voice which made everyone except Briana, laugh. She was speechless.

Inside the box was a jewellery set, comprising a lovely pair of pear-shaped, diamond earrings, a beautiful diamond necklace which had a number of pear-cut diamonds set in white gold with a diamond star clasp, an elegant white gold and diamond bracelet, with the diamonds interspersed beautifully along the gleaming white gold, and finally, a gorgeous white gold rolo chain anklet enhanced with tiny sparkling diamonds. 

Briana sat on the couch and just stared at the box of dazzling, obviously expensive jewellery in her hands. She had to make an effort to still her trembling hands. She looked stunned. Everyone got themselves more drinks and conversation just flowed around her. 

When the doorbell rang again, Briana just sat looking dazed. 

"Briana?" Kyle prompted her. Her heart was fluttering so hard in her chest she started taking deep breaths, making everyone laugh. Who were left? Damon, Chris and Tyron.

"Okay here goes." 

But when she opened the door, it was to find Tyron and a screaming Kayla, pushing a serving trolley which had on it a really large box, which was obviously a cake. "We're going shopping." She screamed. 

Briana didn't get it. Going shopping with a cake?

Kayla wheeled the cake into the living room, and gave Briana a kiss on both cheeks. Then Tyron pulled out an envelope from his pocket and waved it in front of Briana with a grin.

"For this, I need a kiss. Actually, make that two." He said in his deep voice. Briana laughed softly and went up on tiptoes to kiss Tyron on both cheeks. Tyron gave her the envelope with a bow.

Briana almost had a heart attack when she took out the Maxfield gift card inside the envelope. It was worth Five Hundred Thousand Dollars! And her name was boldly printed on the card. 

"Shit!" She swore.

"Oh no she didn't just say that." Dean bellowed.

"Oh yeah she did." Tyron answered with a serious look making everyone howl with laughter. 

"I...I...re...really can't accept this." Briana stuttered, hot tears already spilling down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed with emotions.

"I'll take it." Kayla said snatching the card from Briana. But Kyle snatched it right back and handed it back to a stunned Briana.

"The man wants to spoil you. Enjoy it my dear." Jen screamed. Everybody looked happy but solemn, seeing Briana so emotional.

"Come sit beside me Love. You look like you're going to fall over anytime soon." Mary said drawing Briana into the seat beside her and rubbing her on the back soothingly. Briana felt fragmented, dazed by the events that were happening too fast to allow her to catch her breath, to make sense of what was happening. 

"What is wrong with her?" Everyone turned to the door at Cole's bellow. 

"Well let's just say we have one confused Beauty on our hands. What did you expect?" Dean retorted.

Cole walked slowing to where Briana sat looking almost scared, and went down on one knee in front of her. A hush fell over the room. No one even noticed the presence of Damon and Chris. With Damon holding a large bottle of Armand de Brignac "Ace of Spades" Rose, which was one of the most expensive champagnes in the world, and Chris holding a wrapped object that looked like a painting. All eyes were on Cole and Briana. Cole reached up to wipe the tears from Briana's cheeks...which kept right on flowing anyway, and then caught her hands in both of his, lifting them to his lips to kiss her knuckles.

"Briana Lisa Scott," Cole started, ignoring the fact that Briana was bawling her eyes out. "Will you..." But he got cut off.

"Y...you said you woul...dn't ask." Briana stuttered through her tears.

"Oh come on, let the man ask?" Dean shouted.

"Shut up Dean." Mary shouted through her own tears.

"Angel I have to. At least these witnesses here must be able to testify that I asked and you accepted so that I can sue that sweet arse of yours if you change your mind." Cole joked making Briana smile through her tears. God, she was beautiful. He continued in a solemn voice:

"Briana, I can't imagine growing old with anyone else nor do I want to. There are many ways to be happy in this life but all I really need is you. I know my life will never be complete without you beside me to share it. I promise you, no one will work harder to make you happy or cherish you more than me. And I know that no one else will ever hold my heart the way you do." Cole had to stop for a while; his voice throbbed with so much emotion. When he started speaking again, his voice was softer, resonating with power, a heated emotion that had Briana's heart tripling in speed.

"You deserve the very best, someone who will back you up without limits, let you grow without borders, and love you without end. Will you let me be the one?"

"Yes." Briana whispered through her tears. She felt emotionally spent now and did not care that tears were streaming down her face.

"Then marry me Briana. Make me the happiest man alive. Please!" Cole ended in a shaky voice.

Briana got off the seat and knelt in front of Cole. Her warm hands framed Cole's face as she stared into his eyes with eyes shining with tears and so much love. Then a determined look passed over her features and she smiled tentatively. Even with all the tears running down her face, Cole thought she looked delicious. 

"Cole Adams," She started in a shaky voice, "I want to be one with you, to possess you as you possess me, to touch you as often as I wish, to bear your children. I want to feel you inside me, to feel you quicken in my grasp. I need you...most desperately." Then in a whisper which everyone heard anyway, she said, "God, you make me so hot." 

She paused when the guys roared with laughter, and then finished in a softer voice, "I want to be your lover, your wife, your mate for life. Yes I will marry you."

"Dude, she obviously just wants you for your body." Dean shouted making everyone dissolve into fits of laughter. 

But Cole ignored them and crushed Briana's lips with his, taking her mouth with searing possession, tasting her with slow, deep licks. That kiss was soul shattering, mind-blowing, the 'hold on to something because you just may fall' type. Everybody ceased to exist; it was just the two of them. It felt like hours before they came up for air. Briana was trembling and trying to get some air into her lungs and Cole's breathing was slightly labored. He pressed his forehead to Briana's and said in a husky voice. 

"So...you just want me for my body." Briana laughed low and deep at his mock scowl.

"I can't possibly say what I just did in church on my wedding day can I? This was my only chance to let you know just how much I adore that hot body of yours."

"Now that's what I'm talking about girl." Jen said hi-fiving Mary.

"The ring dude, the ring." Damon barked which brought a smattering of laughter from the others.

Kayla wheeled the cake closer to Cole and uncovered it. Everybody started clapping. Briana covered her mouth in amazement at the classically elegant cake before her. It was a two tier cake, topped with a bouquet of gum paste lilies, with additional roses on each tier. Around the top tier was written, 'He Asked'. And around the tier at the bottom were the words, 'And She Said Yes'. 

It was a lovely cake but Briana's gaze was riveted on the beautiful ring lying inside one of the lilies on top of the cake. It was the most exquisite ring she had ever seen. The beautiful piece of jewellery had a big cushion-cut diamond at the center, with about twenty miniature shimmers encircling the big one at center. It was simply breath-taking and Briana gasped.

"That's a Five carat diamond Baby!" Kayla screamed making Jen and Mary gasp. "Yeah baby!" Kayla shook her waist as though she were dancing to an African beat. 

"Oh my God, Cole," Briana breathed, "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!"

"You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen Baby." Cole said with a catch in his voice. The look on Briana's face was worth all the trouble he had gone through to make this day special for her. Of course everything that had taking place had been recorded. Briana was not aware but Matt had activated the camera when he had come in with Jen earlier. Cole couldn't wait to see the look on Briana's face as she received her engagement presents.

Cole reached out and took the ring off the cake. He took a deep breath, and presented it to Briana, allowing her to read the inscription on the inside of the ring which read: 'Truly, Madly, Deeply. CA - BLS'. What made it even more wonderful was the fact that the inscription was actually in Cole's handwriting.

"Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

"What the fuck dude, she already said yes." Dean shouted from his perch on top of the stairs. He was damned if he was going to stay down there for the guys to see the tears in his eyes. Shit! This was beautiful. Maybe one day he would feel like how Cole felt about some girl and pop the question. Till then, he was fucking going to cherish this moment forever.

"Sorry guys." Cole said. "I'm just..." He trailed off to loud cheering and whistles from the guys. He wasn't as controlled as he seemed after all.

He gently pushed the ring onto Briana's finger and she saw flashes go off. Someone was obviously taking pictures. It was a perfect fit.

"I love you." Briana whispered her eyes stinging with fresh tears. "I love you so much."

"I love you more." Cole choked, kissing her tenderly and oh so sweetly.

Everyone started applauding just as Damon popped the champagne. The women wiped their eyes, the guys already bringing out champagne glasses to taste the expensive bubbly. Cole helped Briana up but still kept her within the circle of his arms.

"Now, my turn." Everyone turned to look at Chris tearing the wrapper off what he was holding to reveal a beautiful oil painting of a smiling Briana. Everyone stared at it. It was strikingly stunning. Briana remembered Cole taking that picture the second time they had made love. What caught her attention was the inscription at the bottom of the portrait:

'Be my love Be my life, Be my happiness Be my wife, Be my sadness Be my tear, Be my sorrow Be my fear, Be my EVERYTHING...not now nor later, But from yesterday till FOREVER.'

Briana couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something but the only sound that would come out was a sob. She was shaking so badly Cole was getting worried.

"Hey, stop crying Baby. I know they are tears of joy but it shreds me when you cry." He said softly into her hair.

"I...I'm so...rry. I..." She couldn't get the words out. She scrubbed furiously at one cheek and then the other.

"Shhhh." Cole soothed and picked her up bridal style and headed for the stairs. "Have fun guys. We'll be right back." He threw over his shoulder getting some snickers from the guys.

"Take your time." Damon hollered. "I would." 

They all moved to the dining area where there was a lovely spread of food, which had been delivered by a caterer whilst they had all been busy witnessing the beautiful proposal. None of them was ever going to forget this day.

***

Cole gently placed a still sobbing Briana on his massive bed and covered her body with his. Then he pulled out some tissues from the bedside drawer and cleaned her tears. 

"There baby. Hush now." He soothed gently, as he started dropping light kisses all over her face. Before long, he was plundering her mouth, his tongue sweeping into her mouth. Briana's tongue met his, drawing him deeper, caressing over him, luxuriating in his intoxicating taste.

"I want to touch you." Briana said urgently against Cole's lips.

"You are touching me baby."

But Briana twisted from under Cole's body and straddled his hips. She gazed down at him, her eyes heavy lidded. He was so handsome, so goddamned sexy she still couldn't believe that he was hers.

"Oh my God," She breathed, captivated. "You are so fucking hot." 

"I love it when you look at me like that," he murmured, his hands going to her hips. Cole thought her intense 'I-want-to-fuck-you' look was so hot.

"How am I looking at you?" She whispered.

"Like you want to eat me alive." Cole said huskily. He was so aroused. 

"You got that right." She husked with an passionate look in her eyes. Cole groaned.

"I'm yours." 

"I know. And I'm yours too." 

Her hands went to the front of his jeans, seeking the zipper. She could see and feel the thick ridge pressing against his fly. His fingers sank into her hips as she began to unzip him slowly. 

"Baby, I'm about to explode." Cole groaned as if he was in pain.

Briana forced his jeans down over his hips. She pushed the jeans together with his boxer briefs down to his angles. Then she came back up and took his hard cock into her warm hands. He was hard, throbbing and leaking.




Velvet Heat Ch. 05



"Jesus Baby." Cole groaned pushing into her hands. He thrust his cock shamelessly into her palm, grinding. Her fingers curled around the thick, heavy length, her pulse quickening. Briana moved to kneel astride him, her panty clad pussy directly above the hard throbbing cock. Cole's hands caught her around her hips beneath her dress. He was going out of his mind with desire. He couldn't wait to feel Briana's hot pussy around him. Briana reached between her thighs, pushed aside her panties, and gasped when she felt the strong length of his manhood brush tantalizingly against her. 

Looking into his desire filled eyes with her own glazed ones, Briana slowly eased herself down, feeling the thick, waiting length of him probing eagerly at the soft, moist entrance of her body.

"Fuck!" Cole's voice was a husky gasp as she carefully fitted herself to him. He shuddered. It was too much.

Briana felt a daring, feminine mischief rise inside her as she looked down into his stark face. Slowly she eased herself down another inch. He was so big, stretching her, filling her. The sensation was incredible. She was losing herself in the passion she saw in his eyes. She squeezed her internal muscles and marvelled at his reaction. His fingers bit into her thighs, and he threw his head back with a guttural cry. 

"Fuck, Baby." Cole exploded, "I'm sorry, Bri. I can't wait. I can't." He groaned as his body took control, demanding release. His hands closed around her waist and he surged upward, driving deep into her damp, feminine sheath.

Briana cried out and fell forward, her hair spreading over his chest. The new angle pushed her throbbing clit right against his cock, and she delighted in the feel as she dragged herself up and down. The perfect pressure to that button drew a gasp from her as pleasure radiated throughout her whole body. As she gave herself up to the intoxicating rhythm, her fingers gripped his shoulders tightly. It was like riding a wild stallion. She rolled her hips, and moaned uncontrollably. 

Cole couldn't help the growl that tore from his throat. Briana had taken control again and he loved it. Damn! Her knees tightened around his waist and she felt his exhilarating response. For an endless time everything around her ceased to exist. There was Cole, only this man and this moment. Her chest tightened.

"Forever!" She whispered.

Hearing that whispered promise took Cole straight to the edge. He held Briana immobile, thrusting upward, over and over with powerful lunges. And then he gave himself up to the hot mind-blowing climax, flooding her with the warm evidence of his passion. He heard Briana scream his name as her body convulsed around him. It was almost unbearable. His hands were hard on her hips, his breath labored as his body shook.

Finally, blissfully, the violent tremors of rapturous pleasure eased and Briana collapsed on top of him, her head on his chest as she fought for breath.

Cole brought her head up and captured her trembling lips with his. The kiss, deep, desperate, so heart-stoppingly real, ushered her into another orgasm without warning. He felt it, groaning into her mouth as she contracted around him. She moaned into the kiss, trembling and shaking as pleasure swept through her. Cole held her till she collapsed on top of him, drained. God, he wanted to hold her and never let go.

He nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck. After a while, Briana lifted her head and looked down at Cole through half opened eyes as she felt little waves of pleasure dance through her. He had a bemused, tender expression on his face. 

"Wow," he whispered. "Fuck, so hot, Baby. So fucking good,"

"I love you Cole. And thank you." She whispered.

"No thank YOU. For agreeing to put up with my bullshit for the rest of your life."

Briana laughed at the teasing look on Cole's face. "So tell me about your visit. How did it go?"

"I'll tell you all about it when the monsters and the three beauties downstairs leave."

"Alright. I guess we have to go down now." Briana said with a groan.

"Yes we do."

"Do you think they know that we just..."

"Oh yeah, they do." Cole drawled starting to shake with laughter at the blush that spread across Briana's face. "You did say to their hearing that you want to feel me inside you right? They know I'm up here granting your wish." Cole said teasingly and roared with laughter when Briana groaned even louder.

***

It didn't help when the first thing they heard when they got down was Tyron's teasing question:

"Hope you kids used protection. Cos UCLA sure won't accept babies in lecture halls."

"I say fuck school, knock her up." Dean yelled and everyone dissolved into fits of laughter. "You can always continue after the baby Briana Darling." He ended with a wink making an already embarrassed Briana blush even more.

"I say you guys enjoy the world before bringing in babies." Damon said to Cole. "From what I hear, they steal your wife right from under your nose man. Don't do it. At least not now." 

"And who the fuck are you to talk?" Matt asked Damon, "Let the experienced folks talk. Hey Michael, did Melissa take Mary away from you?"

Michael took his eyes off a pregnant Mary and stared blankly at his friends. "What?" He asked making it obvious he hadn't been following their conversation. He had eyes only for his sweet wife who had forgiven him for cheating on her. 

All the guys groaned when Dean started going over what had been said. They stayed till late because the following day was a national holiday. After the last person, which was Kayla left, the still giddy pair headed upstairs to relax and talk about the days' events.

***

"The fuck Briana?" Cole exploded, quickly sitting up. "How could you have forgotten something as important as that?"

"I'm sorry Cole." Briana whimpered her eyes already filling with tears. "It has been two months. And I definitely wasn't expecting to see you at the party last Friday. I'm sorry." She finished sobbing now.

"Stop with the waterworks Bri. Your father was very clear on the matter. You are not supposed to get pregnant."

"But I am not pregnant."

"You don't know that. For all you know you're already carrying."

"Will that be so bad?" Briana asked through her sobs.

"You're missing the point woman. How will your dad perceive me now? After assuring him you are not pregnant. Only to see that you are, after all. What a way to start a relationship. He's never going to trust me again. And that sucks Briana. Fuck! I'm going out. I need to think."

"Cole please don't go." Briana pleaded but Cole was already out the door.

This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. But instead of being happy as she had been earlier, she was bawling her eyes out. A painful ache swelled inside her and she wrapped her arms around herself. Technically speaking, the day before had been the happiest day of her life as it was already past midnight. And all because she had stopped taking her pills when she stopped seeing Cole two months ago. And of course the last thing on her mind when they made love in the restroom at the party two days earlier, was pills. 

Now Cole was pissed off because he had apparently assured her dad that she wasn't pregnant. She didn't know what to do. It wasn't like she was pregnant...or was she? Briana touched her flat tummy sobbing even harder. It was too early to know. How had she gotten herself into this mess? She had only remembered the pills when Cole had told her laughingly about her father's suspicions. The last thing she wanted was for Cole to think she was trying to trap him with a pregnancy like Janice had pretended to. And thank God it had only been a pretence. 

Briana headed downstairs to wait for Cole because she thought they needed to have a serious talk. An unpleasant thought teased at the edges of her consciousness, and she didn't want to let it take hold, but little by little it grew. If Cole thought she had done what Janice had, she knew she would lose him and that scared her. It scared her a lot. The ache in her chest intensified. She needed to make him understand. She was no Janice. 

She curled herself into a ball on the couch, her body shaking with great heaving sobs. Cole had still not returned and it was already past one. Briana cried herself to sleep. 

***

"I'm so confused Damon." Cole sighed. He was sitting in the plush living room in Damon's mansion, nursing a glass of courvoisier. 

"Well she could be but I suggest you sit tight man. Hopefully she's not. I'm just not happy with you being here right now Cole. You should be with her."

"I just needed to clear my head. I drove around for a while before coming here. I was so mad Damon. But more at myself. I should have asked. Or better still, restrained myself. But fuck, I can't think straight around her."

Damon laughed out loud at that last comment. "I know what you mean man. But put yourself in her shoes. She must be dying inside. She just got fucking engaged and the man who she loves, and who claims to love her, just run out on her at the slightest show of trouble. Smooth move, Asshole. Very smooth. Come on dude, you should be with her."

"I know." Cole groaned. "Shit! I fucked up."

"You sure did." Damon agreed softly.

"I gotta go." Cole said standing up and draining his glass. He had taken in a lot of alcohol but was not even feeling drunk. Suddenly all he wanted to do was get back to Briana.

"And Cole," Damon stopped him before he got to the door, "If you guys confirm she is indeed pregnant, talk to her mother first. She will know how to handle the dad."

"Thanks man." Cole said nodding. Then Damon gave him a big hug and saw him out.

***

When Cole got home, it was past 3 a.m. and his heart broke when he saw Briana curled up on the couch with dried tear marks on her face. Shit! He gently picked her up and headed for the stairs. But when he placed her in bed and tried to move she clung to him.

"I'm sorry." She whispered shakily.

"Shhh! I am sorry for leaving Baby. Go to sleep."

"I wasn't trying to trap you I swear." She had started sobbing again.

"Oh Honey, I never thought you were. And I don't even care if you did. I would love nothing more than a little you running around here. It's just that I feel like I'm letting your dad down. He's never going to trust me again if he thinks I actually lied to him with a straight face. But it's not even important now. I can face anything if I have you."

Her eyes closed at the raw emotion in Cole's voice. "God, when you left... I didn't know if I'd lost you. I was so scared." Briana whispered. 

His grip tightened around her and he held her gaze. He could see her pain and fear and he cussed himself for putting her through this. 

"I am so sorry Baby. I'll never let you go," he said vehemently. 

"Don't ever do that to me again." 

"It won't happen again," he said quietly. A promise.

"Good, because I won't be here when you get back next time." She added in a hard voice.

Cole stilled and swallowed. Briana looked dead serious.

"You would leave me?" He asked, barely above a whisper.

"Damn straight! Next time you decide to walk out on me like a wimp instead of staying like a man to talk out our problems, think about that."

Cole's mouth fell open in shock. Who the fuck was this woman? And what had she done with his Briana?

"Ouch! I guess I deserved that. Never again. I promise." He said hoarsely.

"It had better not." Briana answered still looking intense.

"But wimp?" Cole still looked shocked.

"Of course. Only a wimp would behave as you did. And I won't tolerate that Cole. Just...remember that next time." She added in a softer voice. He looked...scared.

"Yes Ma'am." Cole now sounded bemused but his respect for Briana could clearly be seen in his eyes. He was insanely turned on by this firm Briana. Damn!

She pulled his head to hers and kissed him hard, her tongue invading his mouth, tasting and savoring him. Cole's cock swelled in response to the heat in the kiss. Briana moved to his neck and licked up the length, biting down on the soft skin below his ear. Cole groaned. The sound of his pleasure slid over her like a caress.

"Love you," she whispered. "Even when you're being an ass."

Cole shuddered and moaned, his fingers digging into her hips. "Christ Bri...go away with me"

"Huh? Wh...where?" Briana asked looking up at Cole. Her lips soft, wet and already swollen. Cole couldn't resist leaning in to taste those lips again.

"Anywhere we can forget about all this and have fun. Venice, Bahamas, South Africa, Paris... your choice." He replied dropping kisses all over her face.

"Cole your work..."

"Fuck my work. I'm a senior partner. And I have more leave days than I care to count. Besides, you are vacating this week. Let's do it."

"Alright." Briana said laughing happily. "Paris."

"Done! We leave on Wednesday. Deal?"

"Deal!" Briana was laughing so hard now.

"Forgive me?"

"There's nothing to forgive my love."

"I love you." Cole whispered.

Briana straddled him and claimed his lips in a kiss that conveyed just how much she loved him. His tongue tangled with hers, and she sucked on it, drinking in his warm cognac-drenched breath. The tormented groan that came uncontrollably from his throat brought a surge of answering wetness from her core. 

Then Cole yanked Briana's night dress up and over her head and tossed it aside. She was gloriously naked before him, wearing nothing but the gorgeous diamond anklet that showed off those beautiful legs. Cole had insisted she wore that when they were coming to bed. His breath caught in his throat when he saw the hard distended nipples on her beautiful milky breasts. They were simply perfect. His hands closed over her bare breasts, massaging her flesh, his thumb sweeping across her nipples.

"Christ, you're so beautiful." Cole gushed, leaning over to take one rosy nipple into his hot mouth, his mouth surrounding the tender peak and sucking softly. Briana moaned loudly, her hands immediately going up to hold his head to her, to keep that delicious sensation going. He toyed with her nipple, nipping at it with his teeth and soothing the mild pain with his hot mouth. He sucked the nipple into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it before nipping at it again.

"Oh my God." Briana whimpered. She went from wet to drenched in microseconds. Whatever Cole was doing to that nipple felt so good. Her back arched as his hand captured the other nipple, rolling it between his thumb and forefinger. He groaned erotically deep in his throat which vibrated throughout Briana making her even more wet.

"I need you inside me Cole." Briana gasped. 

Cole swiftly rolled her unto her back, moved down her body and latched onto her swollen clit, sucking hungrily. She cried out in surprise. She could hardly bear the sudden rush of pleasure. His slid a finger into her wet pussy and stroked her, strummed her, wreaked exquisite havoc on her slick, sensitive flesh.

"Cole..." She screamed as a blinding climax swept through her. But Cole still kept sucking on her swollen and now highly sensitive clit. And before she even came down from the high, she felt pressure build inside her core again.

"God, you taste so good." His roughened voice caused her to shiver with pleasure as he pulled back and stared down at her, his eyes narrowed, intense, his finger still moving inside her.

She spread her legs, moving against his hand, the anklet sparkling beautifully on her. The sensations overwhelmed her. The need to come was building again. He added a second finger and moved inside her slowly, his movements so deep, so forceful, she knew it wouldn't take long. Then she felt him withdrawing his fingers.

"Oh God, please..." the plea burst forth from her before she could stop herself. 

Then she felt the tip of his wet finger slid gossamer soft over the pucker of her anus and froze.

"Cole?" Trembling, Briana had never felt more vulnerable—or aroused.

"Relax Bri. And enjoy." Cole said in a husky voice. Then he was latching right back onto her sensitive clit.

Her hips shifted restlessly as he continued to breach her tiny hole gently. The pressure of his fingertip became more insistent and Briana moaned when he slipped in to the first knuckle. The feeling was intense. He pushed fractionally deeper and felt Briana clench around his digit. When his finger started moving in and out more easily, Cole withdrew and added a second finger, sliding them in slow and easy. The pleasure completely shut her brain down. He reached up with his other hand and rolled her left nipple between his thumb and forefinger.

"Oh God..." Briana breathed and clutched the sheets in her fists. She quivered in delight, astonished by the myriad of sensations that were passing through her body, how good it felt. The fullness in her rear, Cole's insistent sucking on her clit and the sensations of his fingers on her nipple was too much. She was lost.

She threw her head back with a passionate cry as an intense orgasm shook her frame. She sank her fingers into Cole's hair, urging him closer, and loudly begging him not to stop. Sobbing his name, she kept coming. She'd lost count by the time he flipped her over and took her from behind, still fully clothed except for his hard cock which had been freed from his jeans. He pounded into her. His heavy sac smacked against her clit with every plunge.

"Cole!" she screamed, nails clawing at the comforter, begging for more of his touch. Cole had reduced her down to her primal animal element. And Briana silently asked for more by spreading her legs even wider.

In that position, he went so deep she could hardly breathe. He pounded into her hard and fast, showing no mercy. She could feel his entire length plunging into her and her thighs clenched in ecstasy as she started pulsing around him.

"Oohhh..." Briana felt shockwaves go through her body. She had never felt so much pleasure. Cole slammed inside of her with deep, brutal thrusts, unable to control himself any longer. He wanted to cum inside of her but knew he couldn't. At least not inside her pussy.

He pulled out of her ever so suddenly, drawing a moan from her lips. Then he pushed two of his fingers between her pussy lips, getting them slick with her juices. Cole then gently pushed his lubricated fingers back inside Briana's puckered hole. She moaned, her head dropping forward, bracing herself on her elbows. She fucked herself on those fingers. She was going out of her mind with sensations. 

"Please Cole," she begged, her body shaking beneath him with each thrust of his fingers. She didn't even know what she was begging for. She just knew she needed more.

Cole reached into the bedside drawer for some lube. He was already wet from Briana's juices but still wanted to ensure he was slick enough to avoid hurting her. He spread a generous amount onto his already lubricated cock, positioned it at her sensitive creased rosette and started applying pressure.

"Relax baby. And push out." Came Cole's husky voice. God he sounded so sexy. Briana did as instructed and felt the head of his dick pop inside her ring.

"Oh my God Cole." Briana whimpered. The pain! She bit her lip to stop herself from crying out. Surely his penis had enlarged three times its normal size. She grunted as he pressed deeper. Oh, God... It wouldn't work, wouldn't fit. It burned.

Then Cole reached a hand beneath her body to find her clit, his fingers maddening as he circled it, creating havoc within her. She shouted as tingles tore through her belly with his first touch. She undulated against the finger circling her clit, forgetting about the pain in her arse. Cole pushed in further. She gasped and shifted her legs further apart to give him better access, the pressure inside her painful and thrilling at the same time. 




Velvet Heat Ch. 05



"Fuck." His head fell back, his breathing quick and rough. "You feel amazing. You're squeezing me like a fist."

She could feel her flesh stretching around his, gripping the throbbing head of his cock as it pulsed inside her, forcing her body to stretch, to accommodate the thick erection sliding into her untried hole. Cole continued stimulating her clit whilst at the same time, working on her right nipple with his left fingers. To increase the sensations and get her mind off the pain in her arse, he leaned over and captured Briana's earlobe in his mouth. She'd never had so many nerve endings screaming all at once. Pain blended with the pleasure.

"Oh My God! It's too much Cole," she cried, her body shaking. But contrary to what she was saying, she rocked backward to meet his drives, wanting more of him.

"Are you okay? Should I stop?" he murmured, his voice infinitely gentle.

"Don't stop." She said in a voice laced with pleasure. 

Her small channel accepted more and more of his cock until finally, he was in to the hilt. Cole stilled, giving her time to get used to his cock. He turned her head, seeking her mouth, and gave her a toe curling kiss. Cole started moving gently within her, and she cried out at each penetration, feeling blissful sensations tear through her body with each thrust. Then she knew nothing but his cock driving up her arse. He pulled back until only the head remained before surging forward again, stretching her.

"Oh fuck, Bri. So tight," Cole groaned. He could feel his orgasm building already. "Not gonna last long, Baby."

She tightened around him and heard his desperate moan as his thrusts increased. He was groaning at her ear, fucking her with a hard rhythm, throwing her closer to orgasm as she started climbing again towards an impending explosion.

Then Cole sat back on his heels, taking Briana with him. This new angle gave a deeper penetration and also gave him better access to her pussy and clit. He pushed two fingers into her soaked cunt whilst circling her swollen throbbing clit with his thumb. With his other hand, he messaged her breasts softly, tugging at the aching nipples.

Briana screamed as pleasure seared her body, washing from the point where his mouth held her earlobe, to where his fingers tugged on her sensitive nipples, down to her throbbing clit and spasming cunt and finally, to the fullness in her back channel. It was destroying her.

Her hands clenched at his forearm as it stretched across her chest, keeping her still as he tortured her, tormented her.

"Please. You're killing me Cole." Her voice didn't even sound like her own. It was thick with lust, emotion and desperation as she pushed back against Cole's thrusts. She stared down with dazed eyes, watched him touch her nipples, his fingers going in and out of her pussy, and thought it was so erotic. All Briana could do was surrender to the overload of sensations being bestowed upon her. Her moans grew louder and louder. Her hips moved helplessly into his touch, gyrating on his fingers and cock.

"Cole please." She was drawn tight, could feel an explosion coming on. She needed to come. Now! God, she needed release. She became so distraught that she couldn't catch her breath. 

Cole couldn't plunge into her fast enough, hard enough, couldn't get enough of the feel of her pussy and arse tightening on him. But he sensed her desperation. Knew he had to let her fly or risk reducing her into an unsteady mess. She gasped as his thumb, which had been leisurely massaging her throbbing clit in slow circles increased in tempo. He gripped her harder as he felt her rippling around his fingers and cock, then lock down on him with a force that had him roaring in pleasure as she unravelled around him.

"Fuck! There you go, angel."

Her desperate, strangled screams heralded her orgasm. At the first jolting contraction of her core, she cried out. Fingers of electricity danced over her skin, struck her womb, seared her cunt until it came together in a flash of blinding, rapturous sensation. She felt her entire body explode, her pussy and arse tightening until Cole was groaning with the effort to continue thrusting inside her. Her release poured through her, convulsing her body as she drove herself repeatedly on the hard digits and rock hard cock invading her. 

Wave after wave of pulsing heat rolled through her with agonized pleasure and her surroundings disappeared until all she knew was Cole and the pleasure he was giving her. Her vision blurred and her heart threatened to burst from her chest. She cried out and chanted Cole's name till her throat was sore. Cole's continues thrusts into her as his own orgasm tore through him, prolonged her climax, pushing her into another and another till she gasped and moaned. She couldn't take any more. 

"Please, Cole! No more..." She pleaded. She felt the tears on her cheeks as she trembled in his arms. She was screaming. She didn't know what she was screaming, but she was. All she knew was the devastating ecstasy that made black spots dance in her vision, made her body taut, weightless. 

"Briana!" Cole's husky cry echoed hers as he came in a fevered rush. He threw his head back and growled as his thick, hot semen flooded the clutching depths of her body. "Fuck." A convulsive shudder wracked his powerful frame, followed by an agonized sound of ecstasy as his cock jerked inside her. 

Exhausted, and drained, Briana collapsed fully onto the mattress. When he stopped coming he thrust into her a couple more times before easing out and collapsing on top of her. She welcomed his weight on her and enjoyed the sound of his heart beating against her back. He was trembling as hard as she was, his panting breaths falling on her shoulder. He slowly stroked her skin, as if he wanted to possess her beyond the orgasm. 

"Are you okay, baby?"

Briana didn't say anything, just turned to face Cole and kissed him, soft and oh so fucking sweet. It went on for ages, never deepening, just a slow and gentle caress, her lips soft and full, teasing and playful, but not hungry. Tongues explored and tasted, but did not devour. She eased back and allowed her adoring gaze to slide over his face, softening even more at the look of love in his.

"What do you think?" She whispered shakily.

"Damn, you have no clue what you do to me Briana." Cole groaned as emotions tore through him, his arms contracted around her, holding her close to his chest. "I couldn't live without your love and touch, without your heat and passion, Bri." His throat felt tight from the feelings sweeping over him. "I would rather die than face such a thing." He reached up and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"I love you, Cole. All of you." She said in a wobbly voice. "I love you..."

"Even the shitty parts?" 

"Especially the shitty parts. That makes you Cole."

"Then please don't ever threaten to leave me." He whispered shakily. "I died a little inside when you did."

"Oh Cole." Her hands cupped his face. His eyes looked suspiciously bright.

"I can't take it. That you can even consider that terrifies me more than I care to admit Briana. Please!" He actually sounded so lost.

"Oh my God, Cole! You should know I can never do that. I was mad at you when I said that. I will probably leave the house to go sulk elsewhere if you leave home in anger. But I will never leave you."

Cole nodded his head, not trusting his voice to speak. Briana leaned closer to playfully bite his nose.

"You okay?" She sounded worried.

Cole cleared his throat and answered in the affirmative.

"And Cole?"

"Yes Baby." He answered softly.

"You are still fully dressed. Better lose em!" Cole bit his lip to hold back his laughter at the displeasure in her voice but in the end had to give up. He barked with laughter and the sound warmed Briana's heart. It was one of the many things she loved about him. She felt her tension seep away. 

"Hang tight. I'll be back." Cole said getting out of bed to enter the adjoining bathroom. He returned with a hot wet washcloth. 

"Roll over."

She hesitated, but Cole didn't notice. Rolling onto her stomach, Briana laid her head on a pillow with a weary sigh. It was about time she got used to him wanting to take care of her intimately. That didn't stop the blush from spreading across her whole body when she felt Cole's hands on her arse. God, he could see her ravaged hole for goodness sake.

He parted the globes of her arse and Briana couldn't help the groan of mortification that tore out of her throat.

Cole smacked her lightly on her arse causing her to cry out. He had seen how her whole body had flushed red with embarrassment. And he wasn't going to have that.

"Cole!" She squealed. Then laughed at his innocent response of,

"Yes my love."

Then she felt the warm comfort of the washcloth on her back entrance. He rubbed gently, wiping away the semen and her own juices. After gently cleaning her up, he covered her with the comforter and left for the bathroom. When he came back, he was gloriously naked. Then getting under the covers with her, he gathered her into his arms.

"I love you Briana. I'll never get tired of saying it." 

"I know. Love you right back."

"Good morning Mrs. Adams...to be." He said softly dropping a kiss on her forehead. It was already past 6 a.m.

"Good morning Mr. Adams." Briana responded with a laugh. She snuggled closer. She was right where she wanted to be...where she belonged. This was forever.

A love like theirs conquered all.
