Chapter 12 – Single Girl Rule #47
Saturday
Jacob cut the engine outside my apartment building. That was a good sign. It meant he didn’t want me to just get out and leave. But he still wasn’t looking at me. And I was a little worried about his left eye. It was starting to swell.
“Jacob, I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you the truth...”
“But you didn’t.” He kept staring out the windshield.
I knew what Sophie would probably tell me to do in this situation.
She’d say I needed to earn his forgiveness.
I glanced down at the front of Jacob’s jeans.
There was no way he was hard right now. But road head was a thing that guys liked, right?
He’d get into it. And he wasn’t driving, so it wasn’t dangerous or anything.
This would definitely make it up to him.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaned over the center console. I placed my hand on Jacob’s zipper.
He grabbed my hand. “What are you doing?”
“I...um...I think it’s a Single Girl Rule? Like Single Girl Rule #47: Always give your boyfriend a blowjob when he’s upset with you?” I wasn’t even sure if there were 47 rules. But this seemed like a good addition if there wasn’t. I pulled his zipper down.
Jacob laughed.
And that made me laugh.
“Sophie and her new rules.” He shook his head as he zippered his jeans. “Come with me.” He climbed out of his truck.
What? I hurried after him. I was relieved when he grabbed my hand and led me inside. And I was a little more relieved when he hit the floor number for my secret lair.
Jacob pulled out his key when we reached the door. It was still very strange that we all had keys to this place. He was quiet as we made our way down the hall and into my secret lair. I mean our secret lair.
I dropped his hand and grabbed a cold water from the minifridge. “I can go get some ice for your eye if you want. But this might help.” I handed it to him.
He set it down instead of putting it against his eye.
It was going to be so swollen by tomorrow.
“Jacob, nothing happened last night. It was just dinner and I only went because RJ said it was the only way he’d tell me who my kiss thief was. And now I know. And now it’s in the past.”
He just stared at me.
“And as far as the third base thing...homecoming was awful before the end. Well, right before the actual end.” I cringed thinking of my dad getting in a fight with Mr. Halifax.
“It was only good for like ten minutes. When I was dancing with you. And I didn’t go out of my way to hook up with my kiss thief.
I was actually debating leaving early because I was having such a terrible night and he surprised me... ”
“I don’t want to hear any more,” Jacob said.
I nodded. “Okay. Yeah, I get it. I can’t believe I went from two boyfriends to zero in one night.” I laughed awkwardly and tried to force my face to remain even. But all I wanted to do was climb up the spiral staircase, collapse in my bed, and cry.
“What about anything we’ve talked about would lead you to believe that I’d break up with you? Ever?”
I opened my mouth and closed it again. “But I broke your trust. I went on a date with someone else and didn’t tell you. The more I think about it, the worse it sounds...”
“Do you want to break up?”
“No! Never.”
He smiled, but it looked forced. “I just want you to be honest with me about everything from here on out.”
I nodded. “Of course. And I’m so so sorry...”
“I know you only went to third base with Leo because you thought I didn’t like you. It’s my own fault, because I was trying to make you jealous at homecoming. I just wanted you to like me back.”
Jacob had no problem being honest. And his honesty made me want to cry all over again. “I know.”
“You thought I didn’t like you, but that wasn’t the case. That was never the case. I love you, Scarlett.”
I couldn’t stop my tears from falling now.
He closed the distance between us and wiped them away with his thumbs. “I think we’re on the same page now.”
I sniffed and laughed. “You’re really not breaking up with me?”
“Not in a million years.”
“And you’re not mad?” I asked.
“I mean...I’m still a little mad. But I’ll get over it.” His eyes searched mine. “You are over your kiss thief, right?”
“Yes! Jacob, I only went to unmask him because it felt like some weird loose end. I just wanted it to be over so I could stop thinking about it.”
He nodded. “I just...” his voice trailed off.
And I was pretty sure I knew what he was thinking. He’d already told me his fears when he finally asked me to be his real girlfriend. “You’re not second, Jacob. I promise. I love you and only you.”
He dropped his forehead against mine. “I love you and only you.”
I was glad I wasn’t still super high for this. I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him.
He pulled me closer, pressing me hard against him. And he kissed me back in a way I wasn’t used to. Harder. More possessive.
I was pretty sure he was still a little angry. And I just so happened to like his angry kisses.
His hands slid to my ass as I kept trying to pull him even closer.
“I think I know what we need to do,” he said.
“Single Girl Rule #47?”
He laughed. “Well, yeah. I like the sound of that. But I want to do something else first. Something I’ve been dying to do.” He stepped forward, causing me to fall backward on the couch.
For a second he just stared down at me. And then he slowly got down on his knees in front of me. My heart started racing.
“I don’t want you to think about Leo ever again.”
“I won’t,” I said.
Jacob didn’t respond. He just unzipped one of my boots and let it fall to the floor. And then he did the same with the other. He shifted forward and his fingers hooked on the sides of my leggings. He pulled them and my thong down my hips.
I lifted my butt so he could pull them all the way off. And I swear I stopped breathing when he leaned down and placed a kiss on my naked thigh. He kissed higher and higher as he pressed my thighs farther apart.
He lifted his head just a bit to look up at me. “And I think it’s about time we continued from where we were so rudely interrupted last weekend.”
Last weekend! Oh, crap! I’d forgotten to tell him about Axel spending the night recently! We’d just agreed to be honest with each other about everything... My thoughts disappeared when Jacob’s mouth pressed between my thighs.
Oh God. I buried my fingers in his hair. This really was the best feeling in the world.
It was different when I wasn’t in the dark with a complete stranger. This didn’t feel like it was some forbidden thing. That was good in its own way. But it wasn’t real. This was. I really loved being loved out loud by Jacob. But I was pretty sure I was the only one being loud right now.
My fingers tightened in his hair as I tried to hold him in place.
But I didn’t think I needed to. He pressed on my knees, spreading my legs even farther.
And the angle just made me moan even louder.
He thrust his tongue deeper and then I got that feeling that I was quickly becoming addicted to. Like I was on the top of the tallest skyscraper in the city and suddenly floating even higher. My body shuddered and Jacob groaned against me.
I was just starting to be able to breathe normally again when Jacob pulled back and slid a finger inside of me.
I felt myself clench around him.
“I think I owe you a few more of those after all the times you practiced on me,” Jacob said as he slid another finger inside of me.
I lifted my hips to try to match the movements of his fingers.
He pressed my thigh back in place with his free hand as he stood up. “But you mentioned something about Single Girl Rule #47?” He unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans.
I clenched around his fingers as he pushed his boxers and jeans to the floor. And then he put one knee down on the couch so he was more at my level. Well...so his erection was.
He didn’t need to say anything else. I knew exactly what to do. We’d practiced.
I leaned forward and wrapped my lips around him. I moaned on his tip as he circled his fingers inside of me.
This was the first time I was giving him head as boyfriend and girlfriend. And I wanted to do it exactly right for once.
I looked up into his eyes as I slowly went all the way down his shaft.
He groaned and moved his fingers faster. Almost like he was telling me what to do. This was better than his instructions before. He could teach me like this anytime he wanted. I moved my lips up and down, tightening them around him.
I went all the way down, hitting the back of my throat. And he pressed his fingers deeper inside of me. I moaned around him.
He cursed under his breath and buried his fingers in my hair. “Just like that.”
I kept going as far down as I could.
And then I felt him start to pulse.
This time I was prepared. Super prepared. I swallowed every ounce without choking as I kept my lips wrapped tight around him.
He groaned and his thumb started massaging me at the same time as his fingers kept moving in and out. His fingers inside of me were driving me insane.
I kept sucking even though I knew he was done. It was like I needed his cock in my mouth while his fingers were inside of me. I just wanted more. I wanted everything.
I moaned around him as I felt myself clenching around his fingers. God yes.
I looked up at him. His fingers were still buried deep inside of me. And my lips were still around him. He looked sated and happy. I felt stupid for not letting him do this before when he offered.
“Worth the wait?” he asked.
I slowly pulled back. “I thought homecoming was the best night ever. This definitely tops that.”
“I think all your favorite nights involve fist fights.” He pulled his pants back up and then leaned forward and kissed me. And he slowly slid his fingers out.
I moaned.
He chuckled against my lips. “Already eager for more?”
“I think I’m addicted.”
“Better this than pot brownies, I guess.”
I laughed. “I can’t believe I did hard drugs tonight.”
Jacob smiled. “I’d hardly call a pot brownie hard drugs. But it was very daring of you.”
