Chapter 22
Twenty-Two
Soft, warm skin. Moans of pleasure. Curves he could get lost in. Jack was in heaven. Am I dreaming? Kayla tightened her legs around the back of his thighs, pulling him in deeper. Definitely not dreaming. Kayla was as expressive in bed as everywhere else, and he loved it.
“Faster,” she demanded.
He was eager to please, and her enthusiasm accelerated his arousal to a fever pitch. A few more deep strokes, and it would be over, but he’d promised her a second orgasm, and he planned on delivering it. Jack eased back, just enough to fit his hand between them.
“Oh,” she said, as he teased her tight bundle of nerves.
Jack gazed down at her rapturous expression. She was so beautiful like this, and he couldn’t stop staring at her. He was afraid if he did, she’d fade away.
“Jack?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m close.”
She clenched around him, and he groaned. He wanted this to last—to savor the moment in case it never happened again. He circled her tight nub before thrusting in deep. Her hips arched off the bed, and she turned her head to the side.
“Look at me,” Jack whispered.
“Why?”
“I want to see you.”
She met his gaze, and he smiled. “You’re so beautiful, Kay.”
“You don’t have to keep saying that.”
“I mean it.”
Kayla raised her hips again, silently asking for more. Jack couldn’t deny her. He wanted to give her everything. He plunged inside her, surrounded by her wet heat.
“Jack.”
“Yeah?”
“Kiss me.”
It might have been a ruse to prevent him from watching her come undone, but he loved kissing her as much as everything else. He claimed her lips, and she opened her mouth, inviting his tongue.
Her eagerness pushed him to the edge, but he still wanted her to go first. He shifted slightly, creating more friction between them.
“Jack!” Kayla shouted his name as a second orgasm ripped through her.
He was right behind her, the duration and intensity of his climax taking him by storm. Afterward, he flopped onto his back, panting.
Kayla shifted onto her side and gazed at him. “Are you okay?”
He chuckled. “Yeah. Just trying to catch my breath.” As a runner, he hadn’t expected to be so winded.
Suddenly, Kayla moved away.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“To my bedroom.”
Jack came up onto his elbows and scowled at her. “Why?”
“Because that’s where I sleep.”
“I thought you could sleep here tonight.”
“With you?”
“Yeah.” Why was she so surprised?
“I didn’t think you did that.”
Kayla faced him, and he tried to keep his attention on her face and not her bare breasts. They really were magnificent. “What do you mean? You slept in here before.”
“That was different. I was intoxicated.”
Jack glanced down at the condom. “Stay here. I’ll be right back.
” He crawled off the bed and strode toward the bathroom.
He quickly disposed of the condom and cleaned himself off.
When he returned to the bedroom, Kayla was sitting on the bed, wearing one of his Michigan football T-shirts. “Is this okay?” she asked.
“Of course. What’s mine is yours.” His teasing didn’t make her laugh. Still naked, Jack climbed onto the bed, and sat beside her.
She gave him a sideways glance. “Aren’t you going to put something on?”
“Not yet. I’m still hot.”
Kayla averted her eyes.
“Anyway, what did you mean before, that I don’t do this?”
She fidgeted with the hem of his T-shirt. It was long enough that it covered her to mid-thigh, and he tried not to picture her nakedness underneath it.
“You told me that you don’t do sleepovers with women.”
He sucked in a breath. She was right, but this was different. “You’re already living here,” he pointed out.
“That doesn’t mean we have to sleep together.”
“What if I want to?”
“Why would you?”
Kayla challenged him at every turn. Usually, he liked that about her, but if she kept digging, she might uncover something she wasn’t ready to hear.
Jack reached over and tipped up her chin. Looking deeply into her eyes, he said, “Did you have fun tonight?”
“At the party?”
“No. Here. With me.”
She licked her lips. “Yes.”
Jack brushed her cheek with the pad of his thumb. “So did I, in case you couldn’t tell.”
The corners of her lips twitched. “I could tell.”
“Do you want to do it again?”
Her eyebrows reached the ceiling. “Right now?”
He chuckled. “Not right this minute, but tonight.”
Kayla chewed on her bottom lip. “You already gave me two orgasms.”
“So you’re satisfied?” He held his breath.
“Not to be greedy, but I could probably handle another one.”
Jack grinned. “Then, doesn’t it make sense if you slept in here tonight?”
Kayla sighed. “Why do you always have to be so logical?”
Jack laughed. “Why do you always have to be so difficult?”
She scowled at him. “I’m not difficult. I was just being mindful of your rules.”
It seemed like he was breaking them all tonight. “You’re exempt from the rules,” he said softly.
She cocked her head and eyed him warily. “At least for now.”
It was a harsh reminder that their time together was ending, however, there were still a few weeks left, and he didn’t want to waste them.
Jack placed his hands on her shoulders and pressed his forehead against hers.
“What if, for the rest of tonight, we forget about rules, and time limits, and all that stuff? What if we just concentrate on making each other feel good?”
Kayla glanced down at his growing erection. “I can agree to that.”
Relieved, Jack tumbled onto his back, pulling her down on top of him. He slid his hands under the hem of her T-shirt and cupped her bare bottom. “I like you in my shirt.”
Smirking, she pushed herself up to a seated position. Then she whipped off the shirt and flung it aside. “Or do you like me better without it?”
His gaze immediately dropped to her pert nipples.
She was perched on his pelvis, and his erection twitched beneath her.
“I like you every way.” Jack reached up and tweaked her nipples, and Kayla’s eyes glazed over as he fondled them.
Her head fell back, and her chest jutted forward filling his eager hands.
He looked down to where their hips met. Jack slid a hand between her legs and stroked her damp center.
That she was this aroused after two orgasms, spoke volumes.
Suddenly, Kayla scooted back breaking their contact.
He studied her expression, wondering if he’d done something wrong.
“I’m being selfish,” she stated.
“No. Never.”
“I’ve had two orgasms and you’ve only had one.”
He chuckled. “I thought you were against math in the bedroom.”
She trailed a finger down his hard length. “I want to be fair.”
“Oh,” he said, as her hand dipped between his legs. She cupped and gently kneaded him until he squirmed. “What do you have in mind?”
Kayla’s eyes sparkled as she bent her head over him. “This.” She flicked out her tongue and ran it down his length.
Jack came up on his elbows since this deserved his full attention. Kayla’s eyelids fluttered closed as she licked him some more. If he weren’t mistaken, she was enjoying this as much as him. She circled her tongue around his tip, and he let out a low growl.
Kayla’s eyes flicked open. “Good?”
“Hell yes.”
Grinning, she continued teasing him with her lips and tongue.
Then, she added her hand to the mix. It was too much.
The sight of her fondling, stroking, and licking him, pushed him over the edge without warning.
Kayla stayed put and continued pleasuring him until his very last shudder.
Then, she popped her head up and smiled. Smiled!
“Now we’re even,” she proclaimed.
Jack pulled her down, and she stretched out alongside him. “That was amazing.”
“I have many talents,” she said.
“I want to know all of them.”
He leaned in for a kiss, but she clamped a hand over her mouth. “I should probably rinse first,” she mumbled behind her hand.
Now who was being greedy? Jack watched her get up and walk to the bathroom.
Once she went inside and shut the door, he flopped back on the bed and threaded his hands in his hair.
He was dazed, dazzled, and a little dizzy.
His heart rate was still up and his body sizzled in the aftermath.
He couldn’t remember the last time he’d had sex this good.
What was it about Kayla that made everything so … ?
“Miss me?” she asked, as she reemerged from the bathroom.
“Yes,” he replied, as she crawled up next to him. Jack circled her waist and pulled her closer. “You’re amazing.”
She giggled. “You already said that.”
“Mmm.” His hands drifted up and down her bare back. “What do you want to do now?”
“Maybe we should try to sleep for a while,” she suggested.
It made sense when nothing else did. His feelings for her threatened to bubble up and out at any moment. If they stayed awake, making love, he might accidentally confess them. Despite all the good vibes flowing between them, or maybe because of that, he didn’t want to risk it. “Good idea,” he said.
“Let’s get under the covers,” Kayla said.
“Do you want to put on some pajamas first?”
She eyed him curiously. “What for?”
“I thought you liked sleeping in pajamas.”
“Usually, I do, but tonight we’re breaking the rules, remember?”
How could he forget? “I stand corrected. Sleeping naked it is!” He sounded more flippant than he felt.
They pulled back the covers and slipped beneath them. For a while, they lay on their backs, staring at the ceiling, their breathing the only sound. Then, Kayla shifted to her side, and faced away from him. “Spoon me?”
“Of course.” Jack scooted in behind her and placed a hand on her hip.
“Get closer,” she demanded.
Did she have any idea how difficult this was going to be? The first time he’d spooned her was hard enough, though she barely remembered it. This time, they were purposely sleeping naked together. He moved closer until his front was tightly molded to her back.
Kayla moved his hand from her hip around to her belly. “That’s better,” she said, wriggling against him.
They were quiet for a moment. Then, Jack cleared his throat. “I’m not sure how long I can do this without wanting to … you know.”
She chuckled. “You can wake me up in a little while, unless I wake you up first.”
Jack was confused about a lot of things, but one thing was certain. This was one of the best nights of his life.
