KAI
FLASHBACK
The house was asleep. Selena was down the hall, lost in dreams I couldn't share.
I sat on the edge of the bed, still dressed, restless. Empty. The kind of hollow that demanded to be filled with something.
My eyes drifted to the nightstand. The photo from Selena's trip. A group shot. Everyone smiling.
My gaze landed on her.
Jade.
Standing slightly apart. That half-smile. Those eyes that looked like she knew something no one else did.
I picked up the frame. Stared at her face.
And I started imagining.
Her skin first. Warm. Golden. The way it would feel under my fingers.
I imagined touching her. My hand on her waist. Sliding up. Feeling the curve of her ribs. The soft skin just below her breasts.
I imagined her breasts. Full. Heavy. The weight of them in my palms. The way her nipple would harden under my thumb.
I imagined my mouth on her. Kissing down her neck. Her collarbone. Lower. Taking her in my mouth. The sound she'd make. The way she'd arch into me.
Her smell. That perfume she wore. Mixed with something warmer. Something that was just her. I could almost breathe it in.
I imagined my hands roaming. Down her stomach. Between her legs. The heat of her. The wetness. The way she'd gasp my name.
"Fuck."
The word escaped before I could stop it.
My hand moved to my jeans. Unbuttoned. Unzipped.
My hand wrapped around my throbbing cock
I stroked slow at first, a low groan escaping my throat, eyes locked on her image. Imagining her here. With me. Under me. Around me.
Her legs wrapped around my waist. Her nails down my back. Her voice in my ear.
Her robe fell open. Her body was bare beneath me. I was close. So close. Then I heard it. The soft creak of the door. I looked up.
Jade stood in the doorway. A glass of water in her hand. Her hair messy. That robe hanging loose.
Her eyes went from my face to my hand to the photo in my other hand.
Understanding dawned. Slow. Deliberate.
She didn't look away.
I didn't stop.
She stepped inside. Closed the door behind her. Soft click.
Leaned against it. Watched.
My strokes slowed. Became deliberate. For her. Because of her.
Her breath caught. Just slightly. Her lips parted.
"You were thinking about me."
Not a question.
"Yeah."
"What were you thinking?"
I looked at her. At that robe. At the skin showing at her collarbone.
"Touching you."
"Where?"
"Everywhere."
"My hands all over your body."
“My mouth on you.”
She smiled. That wild one.
“Don’t stop.” she teased
I didn't. I kept stroking. Kept watching her watch me. I was close. So close.
“Look at me,” I gasped.
She did. Those dark eyes burning into mine
“Say my name.”
"Jade."
Her name. Not Selena's. Hers.
I came hard. Shaking. Head thrown back. Her name on my lips like a confession.
When I opened my eyes, she was still there. Still watching. Still smiling. She set the glass down on the dresser and walked to the door. She paused. "Sweet dreams, Kai."
Then she was gone.
I sat there. Breathless. Empty now, but different. Full of something I couldn't name. And absolutely, completely, fucked.
