"Carter. Carter, I can't-" I stammer trying to push his head away but he was stubborn, determined.
"Move your hand." His voice was dark and hoarse, his hand leaving my thigh to push mine away before returning to hold down my leg. I knew he could feel the shakiness of my leg, but he didn't seem to care.
"It's too much!" My hips buck as I moan uncontrollably. I was too loud. I covered my mouth.
Carter tuts, "Ivy, if I have to tell you to move your hand again I will tie them to the bed." He threatens and I was so tempted to keep my hand over my mouth. "I want to hear you."

I looked back at Evangeline, she was breathing heavily and losing all control. She plopped down on the bed, and I moved from the cot to look at her. Once my feet stood in front of her she took her ring off and threw it at me. It hit my chest. It fell right on my slipper. She was growing with hysteria. Her fingers running through her hair. I was frozen, she was heaving and she fell from the bed onto her knees. She crawled to the corner of the room, in between the wall and the dresser. Her red shirt rubbing against the green walls of the bedroom. Her shoulder grazed the beige dresser, making scratches on her arms and she didn't care. I looked down at the ring sitting on my foot, to my Evangeline. My mouth hung open but I couldn't say anything, the only noise in the room was the scraping of Evangeline's shoulder and the little giggles escaping the cot.
