Chapter 36
TYRELL
Dani’s roommates are funny. Well, Tobin and Jed are. I like the way they interact with each other. They’re obviously so in love, and it’s… it’s sweet.
Nix and her boyfriend are giving off cute vibes as well.
At least Nix is. She’s all chipper and bouncy, like she’s snorted a line of love dust and is still riding the high. Ricky can’t stop touching her, brushing his fingers down her arm, nuzzling her neck in between mouthfuls of bacon and egg.
I get it. I’ve got my hip pressed against Dani’s. We’re all piled around the breakfast bar. There weren’t enough stools for everyone, so I offered to stand, but Dani wouldn’t let me.
“You’re way taller than me. You sit, I’ll stand, and it’ll be perfect.” She winked at me, and I couldn’t argue with her.
Tobin’s standing as well, and I glance across the counter at him while he continues to tell his story about New York City. Oh man, those two are buzzing about their big shift.
Dani’s gone really quiet beside me, and I try to catch her eye as Tobin laughs. “And I’m gonna be catching the subway to school. Can you believe it? The subway! I’ve never done that before.”
Nix snickers and starts teasing him. “You are going to be so obviously small town. That place is going to eat you alive.”
“No, it won’t,” Jed defends him. “My man can handle anything. He and New York will be besties by the end of the summer.”
“When do you head out?” I ask, using my toast to mop up the last of my egg yolk.
“We’ll leave just after graduation,” Tobin responds. “I want to stick around to support some of my friends who are graduating, and then we’ll hit the road.”
My eyebrows rise. “You’re driving?”
“Yes.” Tobin beams. “Jed doesn’t want to leave his car behind. He loves his baby, so we’ll road-trip!” He sings the last two words and Jed laughs, squeezing the back of his neck and pulling him in for a kiss.
I glance at Dani, who’s nibbling a piece of bacon. She flashes me a smile, but it’s sad. She’s really going to miss these guys.
Shit, I don’t want to leave her.
I don’t want to drive down to Dallas after graduation, knowing she’ll be here all by herself.
She’ll have Nix.
“We’re leaving a couple of days after graduation,” Nix murmurs. “I’m gonna hang with Ricky’s family for the summer, and then when we get back…” She looks to Dani, her expression edged with concern or guilt or… something. “I’m going to be moving in with him.”
“So, it’s official.” Dani nods like she knew this was coming, her smile tight and unbelievable. “That’s cool. I’m happy for you guys.” She tries really hard to make her smile brighter, and I tuck my hand around her hip, pulling her a little closer against me.
Nix bobs her head, obviously trying to play it cool but failing miserably. She is so excited about the idea of spending more time with her man. I check his expression, expecting the same thing, but…
Damn, he’s wearing the same smile Dani is.
I glance at Jed and Tobin, who seem oblivious, then check Dani’s expression, but she’s back to staring at her plate.
When I look at Ricky and Nix again, she’s gazing up at him with a dreamy smile, and he’s planting a kiss on her forehead, cupping the back of her hair like she’s precious. Maybe I just imagined it.
Turning my focus back to Dani, I try to catch her eye, but she’s refusing to look at me, lost in her own little bubble of sadness.
I’m guessing when she moved in here at the beginning of the year, no one was planning to go anywhere, and now her world is being turned upside-down. All of her people are leaving and…
The thought is killing me.
“Don’t worry, Dani Girl. We’ll find excuses to see each other again.” Jed’s voice is soft, sweet with understanding. “You can come visit us in New York.”
“Yes!” Tobin claps his hands. “We’ll definitely find reasons to hang out together again.
Maybe we can pop back for a weekend or something.
We’re going to make this work.” Abandoning what’s left of his breakfast, he rushes around the counter and pulls Dani into a hug.
“We love you, and we’re going to miss you so much. ”
Dani lets out a soft laugh of appreciation.
Tobin pulls back, holding her shoulders. “And no matter what, we’ll always be here for you. We’re only ever a video chat away, okay?”
Dani nods. “I know, and I’m really excited for you guys. You’re all going to have the best summer.”
“And what are you going to do?” Nix gives her a pointed look. “If you tell me you’re going to be moping around Nolan, I will have to slap some sense into you.”
“I have to.” She laughs. “I can’t afford to just flit off somewhere. I’ll keep working at Offside. There’ll be summer school students to hydrate and look after. It’ll be fine.”
“But where are you going to live?” Jed asks, obviously concerned.
“I’m not sure yet, but I have two weeks to find a place.” She glances around at everyone, and I have to fight the urge to blurt, “Come to Texas with me!”
I doubt she wants me asking her that in front of everyone, so I swallow the words down and let her finish.
“The lease doesn’t run out on this place for another two weeks, right? Worst-case scenario, I’ll move into a motel until I find something.”
Jed frowns and shakes his head.
“It’ll be fine,” she assures him. “I can do this. It’ll be good for me.” Her voice is so strained it’s hard to believe her.
Everyone’s concerned frowns are so skeptical, and I don’t know what to say right now.
She’s so obviously feeling the awkward tension, and when she lets out this high-pitched kind of laugh, shaking her head, my insides buckle.
“Would you all stop looking at me like that?” She huffs, then points at Jed and Tobin. “You two, go start packing. You’ve only got two weeks. And you…” She points to Nix. “You go do the same.” Then her finger lands on me. “And you, I want you naked in my bed, ASAP.”
Nix cracks up laughing as Dani snatches my hand, dragging me off the stool and pulling me toward her bedroom door.
“Have fun, you two!” Tobin calls after us, and all I can do is follow this woman the way she needs me to.
She can’t distract herself from this problem with sex, but I get the feeling she’s not ready to talk about it, so I go with her, kicking the door shut with my foot and catching her in my arms when she launches herself at me.
Her kisses are hungry, intense, and part of me wants to tell her to slow down, take a breath. But I don’t want her thinking I’m not into this.
When her legs wrap around me, I palm her ass, giving both cheeks a squeeze as I walk back toward the bed. Dropping her down on the mattress, I enjoy her giggle, then catch my breath when she scrambles to the edge, keeping her gaze firmly on mine as she unbuttons my pants and lowers the fly.
I cup her head, my fingers squishing her spiral curls as she lowers my pants, setting my rock-hard dick free.
It twitches in anticipation, and I suck in a sharp breath when she wraps her fingers around it and pumps a couple of times before licking a line from the base to the tip.
When she draws it into her mouth, black dots dance in front of my eyes.
Holy shit.
I haven’t had a blow job in a while, and I forgot how epically good they are.
Squeezing the base, she sucks and licks, teasing my body into a frenzy. Lightly cupping the back of her head, I groan, my knees threatening to buckle. I squeeze my ass cheeks and choke out, “I’m gonna blow.”
Her lips pop off my dick. “Not yet,” she whispers. “I want you inside me again.”
Scrambling to take her sweater off, she exposes her glorious body to me, and I gaze down at her.
She’s all beautiful curves and smooth skin.
When she flops back on the mattress, rolling over to reach into her nightstand, I rest my hand on her hip, curving it around her perfect ass and squeezing again.
She giggles. “Tobin bought me this box of condoms as a sort of joke when I went on my first date. He told me I had to save them for Mr. Right, though, and thank God I did.” She peeks a look over her shoulder, her smile playful and sweet.
And all I can think is that she just called me Mr. Right.
Fuck, those words will ring in my head all damn day.
I go to move, kneeling on the edge of the bed.
“No, wait.” She pushes me back up. “I want you standing.”
Wiggling her eyebrows, she takes full control of this situation, wrapping my dick before lying back down and spreading her legs for me.
Her arms splay wide on the bed, her feet rising in the air, and I can see her beautiful pussy, ready and waiting for me.
Licking my fingers, I reach down for her, checking to see how wet she is. I don’t want to hurt her.
“You sure?” I check again.
“Yes,” she breathes, her body twitching when I brush her clit. “Get inside me, Ty. Please.”
I do as she commands, bending my knees so I can line us up. She groans when my head parts her folds, and then her back arches when I slowly push my way inside her.
Fuck, she’s fire.
Her sweet pussy wrapping my cock is the best feeling in the word. I’ve worried that I’m too big for her. She’s so tight, and I’m definitely stretching her every time I glide into this warm oasis, but she doesn’t seem to mind.
Leaning forward, I suck her tits, circling her dark nipples and loving the sounds I’m getting out of her. Those soft little pants and mewling whimpers. Damn, it’s hot.
Her hips rise, grinding against me, demanding friction, so I pull back before sinking into her again. Her moan is divine, so I do it again, keeping things slow and smooth.
When her hips start to thrust back, silently demanding more, I rest my knee on the edge of the bed and move deeper inside her.
She whimpers, lifting her knees to her tits and fisting the bedsheets on either side of her.
She’s feeling good, and I take that as a sign to go deeper still.
Pushing into her, I thrust until my dick can’t go any farther, then pull back and thrust again.
“Yes,” she moans. “Yes!”
Smoothing my hands down her legs, I capture her thighs, pushing her knees into her chest, and plunge into her again, my hips starting to work like a piston as I deliver the way she wants me to.
My pace picks up as her moans of pleasure increase in volume.
For a second, I wonder if I should tell her to be a little quieter.
All of her roommates are home. But she’s having too much fun, and who gives a fuck, right?
They all know what we’re doing in here. They might as well know how much she’s enjoying it.
Gliding into her again, I feel those flames build and burn, my limbs starting to sizzle as this familiar heat rises within me.
Fuck. Yes! It feels so good.
“Mmmm.” Dani groans again, her teeth sinking into her bottom lip. So sexy. So fucking sexy.
“That’s my girl,” I pant, changing my thrusts to short, sharp hits that jiggle her tits.
“Oh!” She tips her head back, fisting the sheets even tighter before she lets out another wail and covers her face. “Oh shit, oh shit! Yes! Yes! Yeeeesss.” The last word comes out as a low groan, her body tensing and trembling before a warm sensation hits my tip and her pussy clutches me.
Fuck.
I start to pump, hard and fast. Long, deep thrusts. I can’t help myself. I’m so fucking turned on right now, I think I’m gonna explode.
Her mewling whimpers return, falling into time with my thrusts until I start groaning myself.
Squeezing her thighs, I feel that fire flood my veins and let out a strangled moan as the inevitable explosion hits me.
Thrusting deep, my ass cheeks squeeze tight as I bury myself inside her, not sure how I’m ever gonna leave.
I pull back and thrust again. Then again…
and one more time as she drains me dry, her perfect pussy destroying me.
She lets out a sigh, tipping her head back as a soft, awe-filled laugh pops out of her.
She pulls her legs down so she can wrap them around me, and I lean over her, finding her mouth and kissing her deep.
I glide my tongue against hers, loving the way her arms move around my neck.
She clings to me, locking her ankles, and I scoop her against my body and crawl us up the bed until I can lie on top of her.
Her head sinks into the pillow, and I rest my weight on my elbows, still catching my breath as I trace the edge of her pretty face.
“You’re so beautiful,” I murmur, kissing her again before she can respond.
She tells me with her tongue that she’s grateful… that she’s into me and…
And I have to ask.
It might be an idiotic thing to say, but I will regret it forever if I don’t at least try.
With my heart hammering in my chest, I lean back and gaze down at her, my throat swelling with nerves as I softly whisper, “Move to Dallas with me?”
