22. Sloane
SLOANE
The days turned into weeks, then two, and then it was the weekend of homecoming.
In the midst of him “not being jealous,” River somehow decided it would be a good idea to volunteer to chaperone the dance in the school’s gymnasium.
I didn’t care. I liked the idea of him getting to see me in my dress and maybe some spicy eye contact while I danced.
But I was sure that River was going to be fighting his jealousy all night.
I wasn’t planning to be dancing with Mack all night, but I’m sure I would be a little bit, and I think that might irritate my new boyfriend.
I stepped through the double doors of the gym and immediately felt like I'd walked into a completely different space.
The harsh fluorescent lights had been turned off, and hanging from them were strings of golden fairy lights, draped across the ceiling in sweeping arches that cast a warm glow over the room.
The polished wood floor was littered with silver confetti that twinkled from the lights above.
The basketball hoops had been raised to face upward, and the scoreboard was covered with streamers.
Music from the DJ in the corner blared through the room, not loud enough to drown out conversations, but enough to fill the space, mixing with the laughter and chatter of the student body.
Groups of students gathered around the edges of the dance floor or at tables covered in shimmery tablecloths placed throughout the gym, some taking selfies and posting to social media, others just talking.
On the far side of the room, a large arch of gold, silver, and black balloons framed the entrance to a photo area, where a line of students waited to get their picture taken with their date or friends.
It doesn’t take long for me to spot River in the corner talking to another teacher, and though he doesn’t react, I know he likes what he sees.
I was wearing a strapless, short pink dress that clung to my body like it was made for me.
Delaney’s words. It cupped my breasts and my ass just right, and coupled with the softness of the baby-pink color, I had never felt so sexy and girly at the same time.
And based on River’s reaction when I tried it on for him after I bought it, he’ll enjoy taking it off me later tonight. I curled my hair with large rollers, giving it a bouncy, sexy look that I let fall around my shoulders.
The dance had been going on for about an hour, so the dance floor in the center of the room was just starting to heat.
“Let’s go dance!” Delaney, who was wearing a sexy and classic black backless minidress, grabs my hand and tugs me toward the dance floor, where there’s a crowd of people dancing to the sounds of Drake.
We start dancing, and it isn’t long until hands wrap around me, and Mack is there.
I’d been in gymnastics since I was a child, and I was a cheerleader, so I knew how to grind on a man, but I wasn’t planning to do too much of that.
I keep things pretty tame, barely pressing against him, or turning around to face him while we danced.
After a few songs, he started dancing with other girls in a way he may have expected from me, but I didn’t want to make River any more uncomfortable than he probably already was, having to watch his girlfriend with another man, even if we were just friends.
When a slower song finally began, the atmosphere in the room shifted instantly, and everyone spread out slightly.
The room quieted as everyone swayed to the softer, more sensual beats underneath the fairy lights.
Mack’s arm wraps around my back while his other hand finds mine.
“I’m really glad I asked you to be my date. ”
“Me too.”
“Even happier you said yes.”
I give him a smile before looking away, briefly scanning the room to look for River, and when I find him, in a different place than he’d been all night, I can see the heat in his gaze.
Almost like he’s mad.
He can’t be? There’s practically enough room for a person to stand between Mack and I right now, and slow dancing is so awkward unless you’re in a relationship with the other person. I frown at him before turning back to Mack.
“So I know you said you just wanted to be friends, but… are you open to a date?” His eyes are warm and kind and I hate that I wasn’t interested because he was a nice guy.
Shit. Didn’t I make this clear already? I wince, thinking that maybe I’d given him mixed signals. “Mack, I think you’re amazing. You are sweet and funny and charming as hell.” I smile up at him.
“Then what’s the problem?”
“I think you’ll be happier using those charms on someone else.”
He chuckles before rolling his eyes. “Believe me, a lot of girls have already seen my charms.”
I scrunch my nose before giving him a deadpan expression. “Hi, do you know anything about women?”
He tosses his head back in laughter. “I just mean, I’ve been happiest using my charms on you.”
“Mack…”
“Come on, Sloane, I swear I’m a nice guy.”
I nod, before looking away because having this conversation was awkward enough while slow dancing. I don’t know how to look him in the eye also. “I know you are.”
“What’s one date going to hurt?” You, when River finds out. I don’t say anything, and he sighs. “Alright, I’ll let it go for now.”
I’ll take it. “Thank you. Now let’s just enjoy tonight.”
The music fades into another, faster song, and Mack mentions he needs to talk to Sam, so he walks away, leaving me alone on the dance floor.
Delaney looks at me before mouthing, okay?
While giving me a thumbs-up. I nod before leaving the dance floor.
I left my purse on one of the tables, and when I open it, I see I have an Instagram notification, which is still the only way River and I communicate digitally.
@Rkincaid:
You guys looked really sweet out there
@HuntersIntheWild:
You can’t be serious. That was nothing. I promise. Slow dancing is so awkward!
@Rkincaid:
It looks like he wants you.
How could he tell that from across the room? God, he doesn’t miss a thing.
@HuntersIntheWild:
Can we not do this now?
@Rkincaid:
Sure, come to the men’s room on the second floor by the room we had detention.
My eyes widen before they snap up, panning the room, looking for him to prove to myself that he has to be kidding.
@HuntersIntheWild:
WHAT. River, we can’t. We said nothing at school, and now you want to when the entire school is here?
@Rkincaid: Is that a no?
@HuntersIntheWild:
It’s a… are you sure this is a good idea?
@Rkincaid:
No, but I need to kiss you.
@HuntersIntheWild:
Okay, but we need to be fast.
I slip out of the gym undetected before quickly moving up the stairs just in case one of the chaperones was roaming the hallways looking for students doing something they shouldn’t be doing.
Like making out with their teacher in the bathroom, I guess.
I move down the hall fast because I’ll be honest, it’s kind of creepy to be walking around alone in these dimly lit hallways. It’s like the scene from a slasher film. I’m half expecting someone with a Scream mask to pop out with a knife.
I make my way into the bathroom he mentioned, and he’s standing in front of a sink, his arms gripping the porcelain, and I can see the tension all over him.
“Hey,” I whisper, before I move toward him, and when he turns his eyes to me, they’re full of heat and lust and a little bit of anger.
“You are so fucking beautiful. I hate that he gets to look at you all night while I have to look away.”
“You have me for the rest of the night.”
“I want you longer than that.” He frames my face with his hands before pulling me into a stall and closing the door behind us. Before I can reach up and kiss him, he’s lowering himself to the floor.
“You said a kiss.”
“I didn’t say where,” he says before he runs his hands up my legs beneath my dress and grips my thighs to spread them open.
He presses his nose to my sex and takes a deep inhale.
I groan at the feeling of him vibrating against me, just as he pulls my underwear to the side and presses his mouth to me.
I lift one leg, sliding it over his shoulder as I work myself against his mouth while he grips my ass, holding me in place.
“That’s right, rub that sweet pussy all over my mouth, baby.
” He pulls away, and I watch as his tongue darts out and takes a long, slow lick through my sex.
“I love it when you look at me while I fuck you like this.”
“Me too,” I whisper before letting out a faint sigh. “You… are really good at it.” I moan and grab the back of his head, holding him in place as my clit starts to pulse already.
God, this was so hot. I was going to come very soon.
“Good, I want you to go back out there, still wet and tingling, and think about who this pussy belongs to.”
“I never forgot who it belonged to.” I grip his head harder and tilt it back to make him look at me. “Did you?”
“No.”
“Good.” I smirk at him. He smiles in return, even with his mouth on me, and he increases his speed, and starts to rapidly lick my clit.
“Oh fuck, I’m right there. Yes, yes, yes,” I whimper before slamming my hand over my mouth while my climax washes over me.
“Oh God, yes,” I whisper as I ride out the rest of the wave.
He finishes by giving me soft kisses and a few extra licks before I push his face away.
He stands and sexily wipes his face after dragging his tongue along his lips.
“I need your dick,” I tell him, reaching for his belt, undoing it and the button on his slacks before he even has a chance to protest.
“Shouldn’t you get back?”
“I need your cum first,” I tell him. “I want your cum inside me for the rest of the night. Maybe then you’ll remember who I want.
” I reach up and press my lips to his, and my sex throbs in response to the taste of myself on his lips.
“And later you can lick yourself out of me.” We’d had the conversation soon after the first time we brought it up about not using condoms, and it’s been about two weeks since we last used them.
And as expected, the sex got even more intense.
Something about being skin to skin with no barrier and him filling me up over and over and over again made us both insane with lust. Neither of us could get enough.
“Christ, Sloane. You’re unbelievable. Damn, I’m crazy about you.”
“I know.”
“I actually I think I’ve gone insane with how unwilling I am to give you up.
Give this up. Even when it can cost me everything,” he murmurs against my lips just as he lifts me into his arms and presses me up against the door.
He lines his cock up with my pussy before pushing in hard, and I fall forward against him and bite down on his neck to muffle my squeal.
“Fuck, you okay, baby?”
“Yeah, just… you’re in really deep, Daddy,” I moan before dragging my tongue up his neck to his sweet spot.
“I am not going to last long,” he grunts in my ear.
“Good, give me what I want.” He pulls back, and with my back still pressed against the stall door, we both watch as he goes in and out of me.
“That’s so hot. Look how pretty your pussy looks wrapped around me,” he groans.
“Look how hot your dick looks inside me,” I respond.
“The only place it belongs,” River responds, and his sweet words, coupled with this sexy moment, have me barreling closer to the edge again.
“You’re going to make me come again,” I whine.
“Yeah? I love how responsive you are to me. I swear I could look at your cunt some days and you’re ready to come.” He presses his forehead to mine and begins fucking me faster. “It’s the same for me. Fuck, I’m going to come.”
“Really now?” I ask.
“Yeah.”
“Careful… River Kincaid, all this romantic talk sounds like you might be falling for me.” I giggle.
“I think I’m already there,” he groans, just as I feel him expanding inside me.
