Desire

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Carter Gilmore

When I walked into Adelaide's office. She's closing her computer like she was caught looking up porn. I wondered what she was looking up that caused her to turn pink against her brown skin. I sat in the seat in front of her. She wouldn't meet my eyes and I knew it was something fucking dirty.

"Adelaide," I call and she finally looks up and meets my eyes. I found myself looking down at her lips, she rubbed her lips together. I wanted so badly to go over there, pull her to me, and kissed her, hard. I held myself back for obvious reasons.

"Yes, Mr. Gilmore?" she replies. I can tell she's a little uncomfortable shifting in her seat. 

"What were you doing on your computer?", I asked suspiciously. A smirk on my lips. Whatever it was I know it was fucking dirty.

She bites on her bottom lip like she's trying to keep herself from spilling the beans to me. "I was looking up a dom and sub relationship," she admits.

I realized last night I should have spoken to her before we had sex. This is all new to her. Of course, she would have to be a little curious or nervous.

"I should have talked to you before and made boundaries, Ade. I know this is all new to you. I don't want you to feel nervous," I spoke.

I walked toward her standing next to her. She turned to look to face me. I wrapped my arms around my waist and pulled her into me. She gasps taking by surprise. Is she regretting our relationship?

"I'm a little nervous," she admits. "But I want this. I'm ready even if you want to take it slow," she says like she's reading my mind. It's not fair the way she can read me like a book.

Maybe that is a good idea. We'll take it step by step. Show her the ropes before throwing her off the deep end.

I spin her around so her back is pressed against my front and I hold her arms against her back. "Why am I hearing you're going on a date with Asher?" I growls.

"I'm sorry I had to," she says, immediately coming up with an excuse. "There was no getting out of it. I can't tell Asher I'm fucking my best friend's dad so sorry I can't go on a date with you,"

She's right but I fucking hate it.

"Asher is a nice guy. He treats me right. I could have a future with him," she states. I know there's no possible way we could ever end up together in the future but it doesn't stop me from imagining it and hoping it would come true.

"Adelaide you're mine and if another man touches you he's dead. I'll make his death look like an accident and then I'll send his hands to your house,"

"Carter," she breathed. She doesn't believe I would do but this woman makes me crazy. I'll do anything to put in everyone's mind that she's mine and no one else can have her.

I could feel myself harden and I know she's feeling it too. I can't help myself when I'm around her. Maybe I need to go on a date too. Get my mind off of her and find the woman who can be mine forever. I know that she can't be me forever and it kills me.

I never even thought about dating before. I had always just had meaningless sex with different women. She changed me, made me different. Made me only want her. Like a fucking drug addict. I'm addicted to her scent, to her words, to her sound.
