Carter's Games: Part One

April and her husband Raphael had been married barely a month when she found herself stuck living in his sister’s beach house. On the phone she told him the arrangement was suffocating, that Carter was always showing off, always trying to be the one in charge. A few feet away in the hallway, Carter heard every word. The call ended. April turned and froze. Carter strolled into the room wearing a smile that was cool and unconcerned. “So I’m too competitive,” she said lightly. “Alright.” April stumbled over apologies, but Carter waved them off. “Forget it. Come on, let’s actually get to know each other.” One after another she suggested hiking, beach volleyball, poker, clay-pigeon shooting—each one another contest. April finally snapped, “What about sudoku? I’m actually good at that.” A wager was struck: winner picks the next activity. April scribbled numbers, confident. Carter finished the grid first. Instead of naming another challenge, Carter leaned close and murmured, “I want your mouth.” April blinked, caught between the wrongness and the little shiver that shot through her. Carter moved slowly, kissing her throat first, keeping her voice low so Raphael wouldn’t hear. The clothes came off without haste—summer dress, white bra, panties already damp. When Carter’s tongue found the cleft between April’s thighs, hesitation gave way to open breaths and trembling hips. She licked until April came once, slick thighs shaking, then again. Now it was April’s turn. Carter pulled her closer, guiding April’s face between her own legs. April licked carefully at first, then hungrier, tongue flicking, nose pressed into Carter’s trimmed patch of curls. Carter held her hair and rolled her hips, riding the stroking muscle until she climaxed in one long, stifled moan. April found herself on her back again, thighs spread wide over Carter’s mouth, riding the tongue until another orgasm tore through her. Carter sat up, pulled April into her lap, and pressed their wet centers together. They ground against each other, skin sliding, clit against clit, until both shuddered into a final, breathless release.
