the beauty of Jake's lips on mine, the feel of his body against me.
Lord, it got hot in that car. I had to stop thinking about his kisses. When I turned the air vent to blow straight in my face, he gave me one of those intense 'I want to kiss you' looks.
'Cause yeah, that's gonna cool me off.
When we got to my apartment, Jake walked me up, my pink bag thrown over his shoulder again. Could I get him in a pink shirt? He would look fan-friggin-tastic in pink. He's man enough to pull it off.
I invited him in, of course. The moment the door shut behind us, he pinned me against it. His lips were hard and wet, his tongue gentle in contrast as he wrapped it around mine. My arms surrounded his neck and I melted into his kiss. Hot hands groped my ass, pulling me tight to his body.
"Laney, is that—Oh my goodness!" Kelsey had to come out of her room at that exact moment. She and my parents must have some sort of sensor that went off, buzzing them to interrupt whenever Jake moved to kiss me.
Slapping one hand on the door next to my head, Jake groaned in frustration. He stepped away from me and turned toward the devil, I mean, Kelsey.
"Wow, I mean, I didn't... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were bringing someone home." Kelsey stuttered out an apology and covered her face with her hands. I was pretty damned embarrassed myself at getting caught making out with a guy she knew was not my boyfriend.
He introduced himself and didn't look at all embarrassed. Not even the slightest bit. God, I would kill to have that kind of confidence
"It's nice to meet you, Jake. I'm gonna go make myself scarce now." She winked at me and rushed back into her room. A moment later, the radio came on, loud. She clearly wanted to make sure she didn't hear anything if we continued what she'd interrupted.
Jake wasted no time getting me back in his arms. He backed up to the couch and flopped down on it, pulling me on top of him. His hands tangled in my hair, guiding me down for another kiss. Slowly ending the kiss, I snuggled in next to him.
"I don't want to leave," he whispered to me. "Ask me to stay."
I didn't give a verbal response, but got up and led him down the hall to my room. He pulled his shirt over his head, kicked off his sneakers, and emptied his pockets before sitting down.
Damn, he looked good on my bed.
I sat next to him, and he kissed me. Soft and slow, not with the heated rush from earlier. I lay back and he followed. Lying beside me, his lips moved from my lips, down my throat.
Groaning, he sat up and ran his hands through his hair. "You don't happen to have any condoms here, do you?"
Shaking my head, I told him no. Kelsey probably had some. But I wasn't sure I was ready for that. We were so explosive together that it would be best to think ahead though. I planned to pick some up the next day.
Yanking the comforter up over us, Jake snuggled in next to me. I could feel him, hard against my thigh. He didn't complain though. Austin would have complained and expected a blow job or something.
"Quit comparing me to Austin. The more you wriggle, the longer I'm gonna stay hard. Go to sleep already," Jake mumbled at me.
How he knew what I was thinking, I didn't know. But I settled in and dozed off with his warm arms around me thinking about how nice it was to just be held with no expectations.
Chapter Nine
Waking up in Jake's arms was definitely something I could make a habit of. My alarm hadn't went off yet, so I burrowed deeper into his embrace and tried to go back to sleep. That stupid alarm went off way too soon though. He slapped at my nightstand, trying to make the blaring stop. With half-opened bleary eyes, he blinked at me. His lips turned up in a slight smile.
He looked drunk.
I couldn't contain the burst of laughter that exploded out of me. Not just giggles, no, full-on laughing. Like, oh crap, I might pee myself laughing. I rolled over him and darted into the bathroom.
When I came out, he sat up on the
