AFTER PARTY

Chapter 2 | After Party

Sabrina nervously played with her fingers while she sat in the passenger's seat of a stranger's car. She didn't know the name of the man; only that she felt a strong connection with him and wanted to see if the connection they had carried over to the bedroom as well. She knew it wasn't very lady like to just want to sleep with a guy sexually, but women had the same need as men. Sabrina wasn't afraid - which is not completely true - to give her body to a man she doesn't know. She was more nervous about the outcome of the sex.

Carter noticed Beauty playing with her fingers a sign that she wasn't certain about what she wanted. He wasn't going to force her to have sex with him. He wanted to be sure that she was sure about it. He was perfectly fine with finding out more about her instead of sex. After glancing at her a few more times, he reached over and held her hand in his interlocking their fingers. "Beauty, you know you don't have to do anything you don't want to."

"No, I want to." Sabrina said truthfully. She was already thinking about everything that would occur once they got to his house.

"Then what are you nervous about?" Carter asked bringing her hand to his lips and kissing the back of it. Something within him felt the need to protect her which was irregular for him. The only females he'd ever genuinely cared for was his mom and little sisters.

"I just haven't done anything in a while." Sabrina stated staring at their entwined fingers. His hand was soft, supple, and warm causing some of her worries to go away – but they still lingered. She'd never had a one night stand before and she only knew one rule about them: you can't sleep over.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle." He ran his thumb over the back of her hand repeatedly until they reached his house. The house was larger than Sabrina expected it to be for a man living alone. It was only a one story, but even from the outside you could see it was fairly large inside. It housed a three car garage and beautiful stonework aligned the front frame of the house.

Walking inside Sabrina couldn't believe how beautiful the pieces were in the house. She couldn't help but admire all the details from the dark bamboo wood floors down to the pebbles in the key bowl by the door. She also couldn't help but feel a little tinge of jealousy knowing that a woman most likely decorated the home for him.

"You have a beautiful home," she finally said after taking everything in.

"Thanks, it belonged to my mother." Carter stated as he watched Sabrina admire his house. She was beautiful without a doubt in the dimmed club lighting, but seemed gorgeous in regular lighting. She was a lot thinner than the girls he usually messed with; however, something drew him in to her.

"Well, she had great taste." Sabrina commented causing Carter to smirk. They slowly walked to his bedroom as Sabrina looked at all the photos and art that lined the walls of the house. She knew that she was breaking some kind of rule about the whole one night stand thing. She knew that it was supposed to be a quick go in, get dick, then get out, but she was new to the idea. Sabrina knew she had to crawl before she could run.

Walking into the bedroom her stomach tightened with nerves. She didn't know what to expect and was nervous about the events to come all over again. Carter realized this and grabbed ahold of her hand and entwined their fingers. He cupped her cheek with his free hand, tilted her head upwards, and lowered his head towards hers. She drew in her breath and he mumbled, "I got you," before taking ahold of her lips.

The kiss was slow, passionate, and gentle and seemed to take Sabrina to a whole other place. Her nerves were evaporated and replaced with the confidence she had at the club. Sabrina pushed her body against Carter's and wrapped her arm around his neck and the other behind his head causing the kiss to become rougher. With his now free hand, Carter grabbed her ass aggressively causing a moan to escape her lips.
