Chapter 317

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 317 ~SCARLETT~

I believed him. For some strange reason, I believed Carter. I knew I would regret it eventually, but just for tonight, I wanted to let myself believe that he was telling the truth.

“Your eyes are brighter than usual tonight,” he whispers. “I like seeing it like this. It was already the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen; now they’re out of this world.”

Damn it.

He was good. Carter was good at making my toes curl in my shoes.

He holds my hand and takes me into a room. “If you don’t want to stay inside, let me know, I’ll take us back out.”

I swallow. If I stayed in here with him, things might happen between us. But would that be so bad?

Yes, Scarlett. It would.

“I’m okay here,” I assure him despite the uncomfortable feeling in my chest.

I look around the room nervously. I wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do. This entire night, I’ve been making decisions I wasn’t comfortable with.

I look at the breathtaking man in front of me.

He did this to me. Only Carter could make me make stupid, irrational decisions.

“Why did you cheat on my sister?” I ask him. I needed a distraction, and I had to know the truth. I was hoping he wasn’t the total asshole that we all thought he was. There could never be any reason that would make me forgive his actions, but I still had to know.

His jaw clenches, “it’s not something I want to talk about, Scarlett,” he tells me. “I’m sorry.”

I frown, “you broke her heart. She loved you and only you. Yet, you did the worst thing possible to her. She still hasn’t recovered from it. And you have no nothing to say to defend yourself?” I demand.

His eyes look like they’re in pain.

“I don’t know who’s worse between us,” I confess. “You broke her heart, and now I’m going to break hers by doing so many things with you behind her back. I’ve never been this close to another man, and somehow, I chose you out of everyone else. I chose the man that broke my sister’s heart. I can never forgive myself for this, Carter. I hate myself, and I hate you for making me do things like this.”

He takes a few steps toward me and stops a few inches away, “this isn’t exactly easy for me either, Scarlett. There are things about me that I can never tell you. I know I’m wrong for you in every way possible, but still, I look forward to seeing you every single day. I can’t explain it. All I know is that I must kiss you right now, or I will lose my f*****g mind.”

“Then kiss me,” I whisper. I couldn’t believe I’d said those words. I felt like someone else had taken over my body, and I had no control over it.

I don’t think Carter expected it either. He looks surprised at first but it doesn’t last long.

Without warning, he buries his hand in my hair and crashes his lips against mine. I moan against his mouth, unable to hide how much I craved this.

He breaks the kiss to whisper into my ear, “I’m sorry, Scarlett. This isn’t enough for me. I need more of you. If I don’t get more of you tonight, I’m not going to f*****g survive.”

I don’t protest when his hands slide up my thighs, “I’ve never wanted so much from another woman in the past, Scarlett. You’re the only one that makes me feel this way. I don’t know how to f*****g explain it, but I need this, I need you.”

It was all a lie; I knew he was lying to me. I knew this was all his plan to get under my clothing. I knew it all, but still, I let him touch me.

My foolish, foolish heart.

I gasp when his hand gets under my dress and inches closer to my core.

My eyes roll back into my head when his finger gently rubs the sensitive spot between my legs.

“f**k Scarlett.” He growls. “I want to rip every piece of clothing off your body and bury myself inside you.”

I gasped at his dirty words. I thought I’d hated them in the past, but it was quite the opposite. I loved it when Carter spoke dirty to me. I wished that I was the only girl he spoke this way with. However, I knew that was impossible with his insane record.

I bit my lip when he pulled my panties down my legs. He’s a lot gentler than I expected.

He presses his forehead against mine as his finger grazes my opening. I force myself to stop the scream that threatens to escape my mouth.

Carter doesn’t realize how much my body responds to him. He doesn’t realize that no other man could ever get to see this side of me.

He picks me up and puts me on top of a table. I suddenly feel shy when he spreads my legs wide.

“f**k f**k f**k!”

The look in his eyes and the hunger in his voice almost sends me over the edge. It somehow makes me more confident.

His eyes are glued to my p***y as he watches his finger slowly slide into me. He never takes his eyes away. I watch as he swallows hard before closing his eyes. It looks like he’s trying to find the strength to stop.

I didn’t want him to stop.

I grab his hand when he tries to pull away, and his eyes flash open. There’s a dangerous yet excited look in them. They make me feel wild and free.

I cry out when I push his finger back into me.

“Scar—” his eyes are wide, “MOTHERFUCKER!”

He pulls it back out and pushes it back in harder. When that doesn’t seem like enough, he pulls his finger out once more.

Without warning, he pushes my legs further apart and buries his face against my p***y.

“CARTER!” I scream. I can feel his tongue sliding into me.

It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

I bury my hands into his hair and feel my legs tremble uncontrollably. It felt amazing and too much all at the same time. I didn’t know if to pull him closer or push him away.

A loud sound makes us both pause.

It took me a while to realize that it was my phone ringing.

I quickly pull apart from Carter and pull my phone out of my purse. I look down at the caller ID and gasp when I see Clara’s number. It was like a cold splash of water on my face.

I can’t answer her, not after what I’ve just done. I immediately regret everything. It’s the worst I’ve ever felt.

Carter is staring at me and he can sense the shift in my mood almost immediately.

“Please, take me back home,” I beg him. “This was a mistake. I need to get home now.”
