Chapter 6
RIVER
Jack was in my arms, hot and willing, sending me every signal he wanted me as much as I wanted him. How was this possible?
“Are you sure?” I croaked. My vaunted self-control was practically nonexistent.
Without saying anything, Jack lunged up on his toes and kissed me hard on the lips. I grabbed the back of his head to hold him there as I took advantage of the situation.
His mouth was perfect, soft and warm, open and eager.
He kissed like he’d been as starved for it as I was.
Even though he was shorter and smaller than me, his body was solid and strong.
His physical confidence made me grin against his mouth.
Now that he knew how I felt about him, he seemed much less timid.
Braver. Determined.
I pulled myself away from him long enough to meet his eyes. “Wait, stop,” I said, setting him away from me. “I promised it would be platonic. If we’re changing the rules, I need you to be sure…”
His grin was adorable and teasing. “Did I seem unsure to you when I had my tongue down your throat?” His lips were red and full, slick from our kisses, as if I’d needed visual proof.
I brushed his hair back from his face and pressed a small kiss to the apple of his cheek. “You’re so fucking sexy. I can’t believe you’re here with me.”
“Me?” he squeaked. “You’re, like, Barrington’s most desirable professor. Why in the world would you settle for an ecology geek like me when you could have anyone you wanted?”
“I’m an ecology geek who finds other ecology geeks incredibly attractive.” I moved my mouth closer to his ear and lowered my voice. “And you forget I’ve seen you in your running shorts.”
Jack shuddered and let out a little breathy sound.
I continued teasing his face and neck with small kisses while I told him just how sexy I found him.
While I spoke, his ears turned red, and his breathing sped up.
He was responsive as hell, which turned me on even more and made me handsier than ever.
“Want to touch you everywhere,” I admitted. My voice sounded husky and rough, which matched the animalistic feelings I was having toward him. It was getting harder and harder to hold back when part of me wanted to push him down on the bed and fuck him. Hard.
“Please,” he breathed. “Please touch me. Want your hands—” He sucked in another shaky breath. “Everywhere.”
I pulled off his shirt before dropping to my knees. When I looked up to check his expression—to make sure he was still okay with what I was doing—he looked at me with dazed eyes, a stubble-reddened chin, and glossy lips.
“Fuck, you’re sexy,” I said. “You’re killing me. Let me suck you off.”
Jack’s mouth was slightly open, but all he did was nod. I reached for the button of his jeans and flicked it open before yanking down the zipper and reaching inside the dark red cotton to pull out his hard cock. It was fucking perfect. Hard and smooth with a deep pink head.
I leaned over to taste it, running the flat of my tongue down the front of his shaft before pulling the tip into my mouth and sucking.
“Oh fuck,” he cried, reaching for my hair with his hands. He grasped my head and held it as if he was afraid I was going to pull off.
I wasn’t going anywhere.
I bobbed my head up and down slowly, wrapping my tongue around him while I worked his pants and underwear down to his ankles.
My cock throbbed, and my balls felt heavy. Having Jack’s dick in my mouth and his scent in my nose was an unexpected gift. I’d come here hoping to find a kind stranger to share a nice hug with, and now I was miraculously having sex with the man I’d been crushing on for months.
When I met his eyes again, my heart jumped. He was so fucking beautiful and sexy.
I pulled off to ask him what I could do to make him feel good. His grin was adorable. “Uh, that was feeling pretty damned good, to be honest. More of that would be—gnffff!”
I swallowed him down and reached for his sac, rolling his nuts in my hand and pressing a finger behind them. Jack’s fingers tightened in my hair as he let out the most amazing sounds. I wanted more of them. I wanted to see him come completely unraveled because of me.
My mouth stayed on his hard, wet cock while I did my best to remove his clothes. Jack mumbled incoherent things, which made me smile around his shaft. He was so fucking sweet, I wanted to take care of him. To hold him. For more than just one night.
I couldn’t believe my luck, that I was here with him like this.
His body was gorgeous. Lithe and fit, healthy and strong. He smelled like soap, and I realized he was the kind of guy who would have made sure to shower out of consideration for whoever was coming to be with him tonight.
Thank fuck that was me.
I pulled off him and met his eyes. “Get on the bed, sweetheart.”
Jack’s eyes widened at the unexpected endearment, but he did as I said. I watched his bare ass as he crawled across the large bed to lie on the pillows.
I waited for him to meet my eyes again, and then I took my time undressing.
