Trying to Survive (The Kiser #1) (13 page)

    
Picking her up, I carried her to the bed and laid her on her stomach.
 
Opening the nightstand drawer, I quickly
retrieved a condom while looking at Cindy. She was watching my every move.
Using my teeth, I tore open the package and slowly rolled it down my dick while
staring in to her lust filled eyes.
 
I
plunged a finger in to her pussy just to make sure she was wet enough.
 
I may be dominant in the bedroom, but I
wasn’t in to pain.
 
As I plunged one,
then two fingers completely inside her drenched pussy, she moaned.
 
I twisted my fingers and then added another.
 
She moaned as I finger fucked her until her
orgasm overtook her.
 
I grinned as I
watched her jerk while she called out with a loud moan.
 
Turning her over, I gathered her juices as I
pushed a finger in to her ass to make sure she could take me.
 
I could tell she had done this before,
because she didn’t require much stretching.
 
While she was still riding her orgasm, I slowly pushed my cock in until
my balls slapped her ass.
 
I normally
didn’t go for the ass, but something about this girl, maybe the look in her
eyes or how responsive she was, I just knew she would like it.
 
I also knew it would be tighter around my
cock so I took a chance.

    
“Oh yes!
 
Oh yes!
 
Fuck me!”
 
She moaned as I started moving at a steady pace, slowly building up
speed.
 
I didn’t want to hurt her, but
with her every moan I increased my thrust until I was pounding in to her with
all my strength. I had one hand on the back of her neck and the other one
holding her hair and giving it a little tug. I pounded her relentlessly until I
cried out with my release.
 
I vaguely
remember her coming as well, but I was too caught up in my own.

    
Placing my elbows at each side of her head, I let my weight rest on her
back with my cock still buried in her ass as I tried to slow my breathing.
 
It didn’t take long and when I pulled out, I
removed the condom and threw it in the bathroom trash.
 
Walking back to the bedroom, I grabbed my
pants and pulled them up.
 
“Wow!
 
That was amazing Colin!”
 
She grinned as she rolled onto her back.

    
“Would you like a drink?”
 
I
thought I’d try to be polite for once.

    
“No thanks.
 
I still have a buzz
from the club.”
 
I sat there and looked
at… what was her name?
 
Oh yeah, Cindy
and I felt empty inside.
 
My mind
immediately thought of
Carlana
and I winced.
 
Apparently, I thought about her all the time
unless I needed to fuck, and now I’m thinking about her again.
 
I rubbed my chest feeling something
there.
 
It was uncomfortable and
unfamiliar.
 
The only thing I knew for
sure was that Cindy needed to leave.

    
As I sat there thinking of
Carlana
, the silence
became uncomfortable.
 
I really didn’t
have anything else to talk about.
 
After
a couple minutes of awkward silence, I said “Want to see if Matt and your
friend have finished?”

    
“Fine,” She said as she hurriedly put her clothes on.
 
As we walked to the living room, we found
Matt with the woman and he still had her pushed up against the wall and his
cock buried inside her as he pounded her with everything he had.
 
His hands gripped her shoulders and he pushed
her down as he thrust his cock in.
 
We
watched as he finished, both screaming their orgasms loud enough that the
doorman probably heard.

    
He hadn’t even pulled all the way out when I turned to Cindy “Are you
sure you don’t want a drink?”
 
She nodded
as Matt turned and grinned, just noticing us in the room.
 
“Hey man, you need us to leave?”
 

    
He looked over his shoulder and grinned, “No, I’m finished.”
 
I couldn’t help but laugh.
 
I know I’m an asshole, but this is new for
Matt.
 
Turning back to the woman he said,
“Thank you sweetheart.” And then kissed her forehead.
 
Matt pulled out and the fucker walked over
and took a seat on my couch
naked!

    
“You need to put clothes on.”
 
I
pointed to the pants that were laying in the floor.
 
Matt pulled his pants on, as the silence grew
uncomfortable again.

    
“We should go.”
 
Cindy said.

    
“Probably a good idea.”
 
I said
but was still trying to be nice and failing at it.

    
“Can I stay for a while?”
 
Carmen
asked, looking at Matt.

    
“Sorry, no.
 
This is his house and
his rules.”
 
Asshole is blaming it on
me.
 
I laughed aloud at the thought and
received glares from both women.
 
 
I escorted them to the door where Gino was
waiting to escort them outside.

    
Turning back to Matt and taking a seat on the couch, I couldn’t help but
smile at him.
 
“What?”
 
He asked.

    
“Real smooth man, blaming it on me.
 
Did you really want her to stay longer?”
 
I got up to pour myself a scotch.

    
“No!
 
I just thought she would
leave easier thinking it was because of you and not me.”
 
He laughed.
 
“God, I haven’t had sex like that in a long time.
 
Carly and I rarely made love and it was just
a quickie before we went to sleep.
 
I
think I’ll enjoy playing the field again.”

    
“Good.”
 
My mind wandered back to
Carlana
. “I called the woman today, the one that took care
of me.”
 
I looked up from my glass to a
smiling Matt.

    
“You did?
 
How did it go?”
 
He sat forward as if he was afraid he’d miss
something.

    
“It went good, actually it went great.”
 
I laughed.
 
“She called me an
asshole and basically teased me the entire time.”

    
“You like her.”
 
It wasn’t a
question, but I answered anyway.

    
“I really enjoyed talking to her.
 
She’s funny and honest, it’s very refreshing.” Smiling, I stared down
into my drink as I remembered our conversation from earlier.
 
Yeah, I liked her a lot.

    
“Was she excited when you called her, you know because you’re Colin
Withers?”

    
“She doesn’t know who I am or where I’m from.”

    
“What!
 
How is that even
possible?”
 
Once again, I thought back to
our conversation and found myself smiling even more.

    
“She basically thought I was a conceited asshole for thinking that
everyone knew me.
 
She only knows my
first name, and she wouldn’t tell me where she lives.
 
However, I had Gino do a background check and
I know she lives in Abingdon, VA.”

    
Matt started laughing.
 
“I would
love to have heard that conversation.
 
I
can’t believe you didn’t tell her who you were.
 
Are you going to call her again?”

    
Thinking about her and the way we talked to each other, “Yeah, I think I
will.”
 
Actually, I knew I would.

 
   
“Well I’ll be!
 
I never thought I’d see the day when you were
actually interested in someone.”
 
His
face fell and I could tell he was concentrating on something.
 
“Man, you can’t keep getting photographed
with women, what if she finds out who you are and thinks you’re dating
someone.”
 
He sat there thinking, “What
about what’s her name… you know who I’m talking about.
 
I can’t think of it but we call her Cruella.”

    
I laughed, I couldn’t help it.
 
Cruella fit her well.
 
“I have a
date with her next week.
 
I also have a
meeting with Ellis set up.
 
I need him to
help me secure my business before I can tell Cruella to fuck off.”

    
“Just be careful.”
 
With those
words, I nodded and took another drink.

Back
in Virginia!

    
“Hey mom, who were you talking to?”
 
Austin asked as he came in and took a seat on the couch.

    
“Nobody.”
 
I said as I got up to
refill my wine glass.

    
“Uh-huh.”
 
He was looking at me
with knowing eyes.
 
“Why are you acting
weird?”
 
He just kept looking at me and
it made me nervous.

    
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
 
I came back to the living room with my glass
of wine, and took a seat.
 
He still
watched me.

    
“Why don’t you tell me?
 
I thought
we were honest with each other.”
 
I
looked up at him and thought I saw a flash of hurt in his eyes.

    
“Fine.
 
I was talking to a man on
the phone.”
 
I watched him stiffen but it
didn’t last long.

    
“Who was it?”
 
He asked with part
curiosity and part hesitation.
 

    
“It’s a little tricky.”
 
I took
another sip of wine while trying to compose my thoughts and pick my words
carefully.
 
“His name is Colin.
 
He texted me about a month ago and only said
Good Morning.
Today he texted me some
and then called tonight.”

    
“Colin.”
 
He slowly turned the
word over and over with his lips and I could tell he was trying to remember if
he had met anybody with that name.
 
“Where
did you meet him?”

    
“I haven’t.”
 
Before I could say
anything else, Austin started firing questions.

    
“What do you mean you haven’t?
 
How’d he get your number?
 
Why
would he call you if you’ve never met him?”

     
“Slow down!
 
I don’t know.
 
I think he texted and called by accident and
we just ended up talking.
 
We decided
that since we didn’t know each other we could just talk freely.
 
He doesn’t know where we live and I don’t
know where he lives.
 
It felt kind of
like meeting a stranger and having a conversation.
 
That’s all.
 
I’ll probably never hear from him again.”
 
I felt bad about lying to him because it
hadn’t slipped my notice that he called me
Carlana
several times.
 
However, after seeing the
concern and worry on Austin’s face I knew I had to alleviate what I could.

    
“So it was just a random caller that you ended up talking to?”
 
Worry clearly written on his face.

    
“Yes, and I actually enjoyed it.”
 
I went to take another sip of wine, but found it empty.
 
Chuckling to myself, I didn’t even realize
that I had drained the whole glass just to get through this conversation.
 
“Why are you home early?”

  
  
“It’s not that early.”

    
“You’re eighteen Austin, and it’s 9:30.”

    
He smiled, knowing I was right.
 
“Kaitlyn
has been nagging me.
 
She wants to be my
girlfriend.
 
I like going out with her,
but I don’t want to make a commitment.
 
I
enjoy jamming with the guys and I will be going away to college this fall.
 
She’s already trying to get me to stay here
and go to a community college.
 
I like
her, but I’m not ready for any of that.
 
I’ve thought about staying closer, but that’s so I can help you out, not
because of her.
 
Anyway, I just took her
home early before we had a huge fight.”
 
I laughed, I couldn’t help it.
 
“What?”

    
“You are so much like your father.
 
He hated fighting and would just ignore me if I was mad, which only made
me angrier.
 
I could not get him to fight
with me.
 
Now about college, you are not
going to a community college.
 
I want you
to go where you want to, not because you’re close to me.
 
I’m fine.
 
Actually, I have been better than fine this past year but you know
that.
 
Life is to short Austin and you
need to make yourself happy and I’ll take care of me.”

    
Putting his arm around my shoulders, he pulled me in for a hug.
 
“Thanks mom.
 
I love you.”

    
“I love you to.”

****

    
What is that noise?
 
Waking up
from a deep sleep, I heard my cell ringing.
 
Glancing at the clock, I can’t help but almost panic.
 
Who would call here at 11:30 at night?
 
Something must be wrong!
 
I grabbed the phone, “Hello?”

    
“
Carlana
?
 
I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t wake you.”
 
My panic feeling instantly drained away but was quickly replaced with
excitement.
 
He called again!
 
Something about his voice made my gut clench
and my breath hitch.

    
“Colin?”
 
Sitting up in bed, “No,
it’s fine.
 
Everything okay?”
 
I propped my pillows up so I could sit
comfortably.

    
“Is it a bad time to call?”

    
“You do know it’s 11:30 right?
 
And it’s Wednesday.”

    
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t even think that you might have to
get up early and go to work.
 
I’ll let
you go.”

    
“No, it’s fine.
 
I don’t have to
get up in the morning.
 
What’s
wrong?”
 

    
“Nothing really.”
 
It didn’t sound
like nothing.

    
“First of all, you can’t call me at 11:30 and then say nothing’s
wrong.
 
Second, I thought we agreed to be
honest since we don’t know each other anyway.
 
Remember?”

    
I could tell he was thinking.
 
Maybe it wasn’t easy for him to talk.
 
I sat there silently letting him collect his thoughts.
 
The one thing I’ve learned living with men is
to just give them time.
 
“I
remember.
 
I have a meeting tomorrow and
I keep going over what I should say.
 
Because of this, I can’t sleep and it’s driving me crazy.”

    
“What’s the meeting about?”
 
I
heard him take a deep breath.
 
I’m sure
he was trying to decide if he can tell me, a complete stranger.

    
“I need to give you a little history first.
 
My family is not like most.
 
Everything they do is for show and that’s one
reason why we’ve never got along.
 
Remember that I told you my mother was trying to set me up with a girl?”

    
“Yes.”

    
“Well, they are trying to force me to see her.
 
My father has a lot of influence in the city,
and my
mother
has threatened to have
him ruin my business with just a word.”

    
“That’s awful!”

    
“Well yes, but that’s my mother.
 
The man I have a meeting with tomorrow has never got along with my
parents.
 
I need his help to keep my
business running if my father decides to ruin me.
 
I keep thinking about it, but I’m not sure
what to tell him, how to obtain his help.”

 
   
“Families should not be like
that.
 
I’m sorry I teased you the other
night about your mother.
 
I don’t know
where you live or what kind of business you run, but I know for a fact that
honesty is the best policy.
 
Most people
can tell if they’re being deceived, so just tell him the truth.
 
Explain what your parents are doing, that you
need help, and then tell him how helping you will benefit him.
 
It’s that simple.
 
He’ll either help or he won’t.
 
Sorry, you probably didn’t want any advice.”

    
“No!
 
I mean, no don’t be
sorry.
 
That’s good advice, I had thought
about doing that, and then I’d change my mind and come up with a different
plan.
 
I think I’ll try it your way.
 
Thank you.”
 
I could hear that he really meant it so I relaxed a little.
 
“What have you been up to this week?”

    
“Not much.
 
I’ve went grocery
shopping, and this weekend Megan and I are going shopping again.
 
She needs to get something to wear for her
cousins wedding.
 
The rest of the time, I’ve
just stayed here with Austin and watched movies.
 
What about you?”

    
“I went out with Matt and had drinks one night.
 
His girlfriend broke up with him and he
wanted company.
 
Austin, that’s your son
right?”

    
“Yep.
 
His eighteen and will soon
graduate high school.
 
How’s Matt
doing?
 
Was he with his girlfriend for a
long time?”

    
“They were together for two years.
 
I think he’s doing okay.
 
I really
haven’t talked to him since the day after we went out.
 
Is Austin planning on going to college?”

    
“He is.
 
He’s has several to
choose from.
 
Are you and Matt close
friends?”

    
“We are.
 
He’s been my best friend
since as long as I can remember.
 
What
does Austin want to major in?”

    
“What!
 
He’s your best friend and
you haven’t called to check on him?”

    
“No, I’ve been working.
 
He
understands.”

    
“Maybe it’s a guy thing, but you need to call him.
 
After Graysen passed away, I wouldn’t call
anyone and if it wasn’t for Megan constantly checking on me, well I don’t know
what I would have done.
 
I know breaking
up is not the same thing, but calling him lets him know that he matters.”

    
“Okay, I’ll give him a call tomorrow.”
 
He laughed.
 
“How long were you
married?
 
If you don’t mind me asking?”

    
“It’s okay.
 
I was married for
sixteen years.”
 
I took a slow deep
breath.
 
“Talking about him is still hard
for me, but I’m doing better.
 
Have you
ever been married?”

    
“Wow, sixteen years is a long time, and no, I’ve never been
married.
 
I never wanted what my parents
had.”
 
Laughing humorlessly, “They’re not
exactly the best example.”

    
“How long have they been together?”

    
“They’ve been married forty-two years.”

    
“Wow, and why is it bad?”
 
I could
hear the deep breath he slowly let out, and I knew he once again was trying to
get his thoughts together.
 
Probably deciding
how much he wanted to tell me.

    
“Their marriage is more for social standing and was probably arranged by
their parents.
 
I know that my father has
had many lovers over the years and my mother accepts it.
 
When I told her that I wouldn’t date or marry
the woman she chose, she pretty much told me to get over it, that I could have
all the women I wanted on the side, but I needed to marry this woman to improve
our family connections.”

    
“Wow, what a bitch!”
 
He laughed a
deep belly laugh at that.
