Ecstasy (11 page)

Completely, utterly out of control.

* * *

Done with her writing for the day, Candace picked up the pile of bills and magazines and took them into the kitchen with her. The words EROTICA CONTEST caught her eye and she pulled the leaflet out from the stack of envelopes and read:

Do you have an erotic manuscript that would knock our panties off? If so, you should enter the 15th annual Erotic Writer’s Contest. If your manuscript makes it to the finals, your book will be read by a panel of top editors. A secret celebrity judge will present the winner his or her award, along with a $10,000 grand prize check! Enter now!

Candace usually threw contest solicitations out, but that was because she knew she didn’t have something that could win. The wheels started turning in her head.

“No,” she said aloud in her empty kitchen. “I can’t do it. It’s not right.”

The wicked little voice inside her said,
Come on Candace. You know you’ve got a winner on your hands. Charlie will never know.

She tried to ignore the voice, but it just got louder, saying,
This is the entire reason he agreed to be your mentor. Charlie wants you to become a better writer. After all, isn’t that the only reason why he’s sleeping with you?

Candace wanted to argue, she wanted to tell her nasty inner-voice that Charlie was sleeping with her because he cared about her, but in her experience, that was never what was really going on.

Using her past hurts as her guide, tapping into her failed love affairs to try and cover up the strong feelings she had for Charlie, she picked up her phone and dialed his number.

She needed to schedule lesson four, and fast. After all, she had a book to finish and there was only one way she could get the experience she needed.

In Charlie Gibson’s arms.

Chapter Ten

Charlie was pleased that Candace had called him to arrange lesson four so quickly.
Maybe she likes me a little bit after all,
he thought to himself.

The only problem was, he hadn’t quite figured out an appropriate site for their lesson on sex in new locations. Dodging her questions on the phone, he told her he’d pick her up at noon on Thursday and surprise her with their destination.

He ran through the options again in his head. A sex club was too predictable, and there was no way in hell he’d let anyone else get his hands on her. Doing it in his car, parked out over a beautiful vista, was too much like being in high school. Having a quickie in a dark alley on a busy street was straight out of his latest novel, so that was out of the question.

With only fifteen minutes to go until he was supposed to be at Candace’s house, he still hadn’t come up with a good location for their lesson.

“Where is the one place she’d never think about having sex?” he asked himself in frustrated tones.

The answer came to him in a flash.

Charlie smiled, grabbed his keys, and hopped in his red Z3 BMW convertible, turning up Aerosmith so loud he could feel the bass drum vibrating in his seat.

“The zoo?”

Candace turned to him with a look of utter surprise.

Charlie paid for their tickets and followed her into the park. “Yup,” he said, nodding happily. “The zoo.”

She shook her head and chuckled. “You have got to be kidding. I’d like to know one thing that’s sexy about the zoo.”

He pulled her close and said, “You,” before kissing her hard on her lips. Grabbing her hand, he said, “Let’s go ride the train around the park.”

She raised an eyebrow, but followed after him. “You’re the teacher, so I guess you know best,” she said, but he could tell by the sound of her voice that she thought he was completely nuts.

The zoo grounds were deserted at noon on a Thursday and as they walked hand-in-hand, Charlie thought again how much he loved being with Candace. She was funny, witty, smart, and incredibly passionate. For a moment, he almost wished they were done with their lessons so that he could finally tell her how he felt about her, without feeling like a total jerk for taking advantage of their teacher/student situation.

But then he thought about what he had planned for the day and grinned. No, he certainly didn’t want to give up any of the time he’d be spending exploring Candace’s body. And he sure as hell wouldn’t trade the satisfaction he’d already received from showing her how to let herself go, how to explode with every fiber of her body and soul.

They walked past the tiger and lion cages, stopping to admire the brawny beasts, finally arriving at the miniature train depot. One of the small amusement park trains was on the track waiting for them to board.

Each of the cars of the train was just big enough to seat two people, except the miniature lion cage, which was barely big enough to fit four people.

“Wait here for a second,” Charlie said as he went up to the ticket taker and said a few words to him while covertly slipping him a hundred dollar bill.

Mission accomplished, Charlie was grinning ear to ear when he waved Candace through the gate.

She started to step into one of the small, uncovered cars that was shaped like a baby elephant, but he redirected her to the lion cage. The bottom half of the car was completely covered with plastic, with only the upper half of the car open to the outside through thick plastic bars. Unlike the other cars, this one had a roof on it that blocked out the sunlight.

“We’re going to ride in this one,” he said, and he thought he saw a tiny hint of a smile appearing on the corner of her luscious lips as she crawled into the small space.

When she bent over, her short skirt flipped up and revealed her tight, round ass, and smooth pussy lips peeking between her slightly parted thighs.

His cock went instantly hard. His innocent student hadn’t worn any panties at all!

He stood on the outside of the cage, holding onto the bars and cleared his throat, finally managing a husky, “Did you forget to put something on this morning when you were getting dressed?”

Candace blushed and said, “I might have forgotten a couple of things, actually.”

Suddenly he noticed she wasn’t wearing a bra either. He could discern the faint outline of her areolas beneath her light pink tank top. As he stared at her chest in continued amazement, her nipples grew hard and pronounced, and it was all he could do not to rip the thin fabric off of her body and suck at her nipples like a hungry newborn.

He rearranged his pants to accommodate his throbbing bulge and climbed in after her. Once he was inside the cage and had latched the gate closed, he gave a thumb’s up to the conductor and the train began to move slowly on the tracks.

“You seem a little nervous today,” he said as he rubbed his thumb in a circle over the palm of her left hand.

She nodded, but didn’t quite meet his eyes. Finally, she looked up at him and said, “You’re right. I am nervous today.” Then she laughed and said, “Which is crazy. You’d think I’d be perfectly calm around you after the three lessons we’ve had so far, wouldn’t you?”

Charlie nodded absentmindedly as he kneeled in the small floor space between her legs. “I’m a little nervous too,” he murmured as he slowly slid his hands up from her ankles, to her knees, to the outsides of her thighs.

“Lift up,” he said softly and as she did so, he slid his hands underneath the curve of her ass, cupping each of her butt cheeks in his hands. Her head fell back and she moaned softly. He’d left her skirt still covering her body, even though he wanted nothing more than to bury his face between her legs, hoping the waiting would intensify her arousal.

Even though his hands were on her ass, she was already so wet her juices were soaking his fingers. Gently he slipped his pinkies into her dripping cunt and her moans grew louder. Her hands moved to circle the back of his neck, to pull his face down to her impatient clit.

“Hold onto the bars,” he demanded. He saw her warring with herself, but then she reached out and grabbed the bars with her hands.

“Good girl,” he whispered as he bit the hem of her tank top and pulled it up several inches to uncover the skin on her flat stomach. He laid several kisses across her belly, and then on her pelvis through the thin fabric of her skirt.

Her nipples jutted out to him and he couldn’t resist their beckoning. One at a time, he put the thin straps of her tank top between his teeth and slid them down her shoulders, uncovering first one lush globe and then the other. He moved his hands closer to her pussy and slid several fingers in and out of her.

“Charlie, I don’t think we should-” she began to say, and he cut off her protest with a hot kiss, roughly taking her tongue into his mouth, forcing it to mate with his own.

“I’m in charge of this lesson,” he said sternly when he finally pulled away from her slightly bruised lips.

She said, “I know you are, but-” and he kissed her again, gently this time just on the corners of her mouth

“Won’t you trust me, sweetheart?” he asked her, his tone now gently cajoling.

She smiled tremulously and he returned his attention to her succulent tits, finally bared in all their glory. He rubbed his face across them, letting her nipples slide in and out of his mouth, driving his tongue across them, forcing whimpers from Candace with every stroke.

Looking up from her breasts, he noted that the train had taken them into a deeply forested area, which was far more private than the open tracks they had traveled upon thus far. As he slowly pulled his hands out from beneath her ass and reached for the hem of her skirt to lift it up, she whimpered, “Yes, Charlie. Please!” and opened her legs wide so that he would have easy access to her swollen cunt. He ran the tip of his thumb up and down her moist folds, steering clear of her most sensitive spot. She tried to maneuver her hips so that he’d be forced to touch her clit, but he teased and circled, all the while avoiding the one place that was dying for his touch.

He slid one finger into her and sucked her nipple in the same rhythm as he moved his long finger in and out of her.

Candace’s head thrashed back and forth and she let go of the bars to wrap her hands around the back of his head, holding him tightly to her breasts. He could feel the tension in her body, felt the muscles begin to convulse around his finger, and knew she was about to explode.

Hastily he removed his finger and, with his lips still sucking gently on one of her breasts, Charlie moved to a sitting position on the hard plastic seat behind him, bringing Candace’s body with him, so that she was straddling his hips, her knees on the seat.

Her slender fingers moved to unbutton and unzip his khaki slacks, until the full length of his hard shaft sprang free.

She wrapped her hand around the hot length of him, positioning herself above him so that the head of his penis was just at the entrance of her incredibly wet lips.

With a sound of deep satisfaction, Candace lowered herself down onto his cock, taking in each and every inch.

Charlie was overwhelmed by the sensation of her tight, wet pussy enveloping him. He looked up from her breasts, and pulled her head down to capture her mouth in a hot, tongue-thrusting kiss.

Candace was in charge of their lovemaking as she rode up and down on Charlie’s cock, milking it with her tight, throbbing muscles.

“I can’t hold on anymore,” he gritted out through clenched teeth and as he began to come, her muscles convulsed around his cock. He covered her cry of pleasure with his mouth and as they rode towards ecstasy together, their lips and tongues mated in a frenzy that matched the mating of their bodies.

As their convulsions came to an end, they kissed, their caresses growing tender and soft.

“Candy, I-” Charlie began to say, but right as he was about to declare his feelings for her, regardless of their mentor/mentee relationship, the train left the trees and emerged back into the daylight.

Quickly, Candace slid off his lap, pulled her tank top back up over her breasts, and slid her skirt down over her thighs. After she did so she looked at him with undisguised amusement. “You might want to zip your pants back up.”

He surfaced from his daze and made his fumbling fingers obey his commands to tuck in his shirt. Just in time, he fastened the button of his pants as they arrived back at the station and came to a stop.

The station attendant unlatched the door to their cage. “Enjoy the ride?”

Candace looked at Charlie with a twinkle in her eye and said, with a fairly straight face, “Oh yes. More than you can ever imagine. In fact, it’s safe to say, I’ll never look at the zoo the same way again.”

And with that, she headed out the gates back towards the lion cages. Both Charlie and the young zoo employee watched the perfect curve of her ass swing from side to side as she walked.

Charlie slipped the kid another $100 bill and said, “You really have a great ride on your hands here, kid. You got a girlfriend?”

The boy nodded his head speedily on his skinny neck and Charlie said, “I definitely recommend the lion cage.” He followed after Candace, thinking yet again what a lucky man he was.

Chapter Eleven

When Charlie dropped Candace off at her house, she was torn between inviting him in and running to her computer to write down the next scene in her book. But before she could ask him inside for a drink, he looked at his watch and said, “I’ve got to get going. Thanks for a great afternoon,” and sped off, leaving her standing on the sidewalk in front of her house feeling more than a little bereft.

The truth was, no matter how much she tried to pretend she didn’t have feelings for Charlie, no matter how much she wavered back and forth about the emotional extent of their relationship, she now knew with 100% certainty that she was in love with him.

After their incredible sex play on the mini-train at the zoo, they had spent the rest of the day eating cotton candy and hot dogs, riding the elephants, and admiring the baby tiger cubs that were brought outside during their feeding. With every minute that passed in Charlie’s company, Candace fell harder and harder for him.
