Chapter 57
TYRELL
I don’t know how long we stand on that street, but the second her tongue brushed against mine, I was lost to her.
It’s not until we get a honking car and a few friendly catcalls pulling us apart that I finally come to.
Dani rests her forehead against my chest, hiding her embarrassment with a soft giggle.
“Want to get out of here?” I rub my hand down her back, talking against the side of her head.
“Yes.” She squeezes my waist, and I take her hand, pulling her to my SUV with hurried steps.
Grady and Carson said I could stay at Football Frat, so that’s what I’m doing.
I hope someone’s home, because I don’t want to have to rummage around out back, looking for the fake rock that has the spare key in it.
Driving probably a touch too fast, I arrive at Football Frat within eight minutes and pull up to the curb.
Lights are on in the living room, and Dani winces at the house.
“Is there room for you…” She glances up at me with hooded eyes. “I mean… for us?”
My only response is a wolfish grin.
Yes. I am so ready for an us!
Jumping out of the car, I run around in time to close the door for her, then snatch her hand and pull her up the front path.
This bubbling sensation is brewing in my belly as I try to wrap my head around this awesome, amazing thing.
Dani wants to be with me.
She wants to take this risk with me.
She wants to live with what is with me!
“Come on, come on,” I urge her up the stairs and she starts to laugh.
“Boy, you’re acting like an excited puppy.”
“I’m an excited hound dog.” I turn to wiggle my eyebrows at her, and she snorts, laughing into her hand.
“Who says you’re getting laid right now?” she teases, and I pause on the front step, my hand on the doorknob as I slowly look down to check if she’s serious.
Her expression is impossible to read, so I tell my eager dick to chill the fuck out and go for casual.
“We don’t…” I shake my head, forcing the words out. “We don’t have to have sex. I’m just looking forward to hanging with you. Whatever that looks like.”
She grins at me, rising up to kiss my lips. “You’re a good man, Tyrell Jackson.”
Turning the doorknob, she walks inside, and I sag with disappointment. Fuck. I really thought we were gonna get busy. I’ve been craving her for weeks.
But it’s not just about sex, right?
I love all of her, whether we’re doing it or not.
I just want to be with her, and sitting around or even just falling asleep beside her will be good too.
“Oh, hey, you guys!” Blake pops up off the couch, her face alight with excitement when she sees me standing right behind Dani.
I settle my hands on Dani’s shoulders and acknowledge Nylah, Carson, Blake, and Grady. “Hey. You all good?”
“Yeah, we only got home a few minutes ago. Thought we’d watch a movie to unwind.” Grady points at the TV.
“You want to join us?” Nylah asks.
My stomach clenches, but I keep my mouth shut, letting Dani make the decision.
“Sorry, we’re kind of busy.” Dani points back at me with her thumb.
Nylah narrows her eyes at us. “Doing what?”
“Having all the sex,” Dani sings, snatching my hand and dragging me up the stairs while my friends holler and whoop behind me.
Blake’s laughing her ass off, flopping into Grady’s lap while Nylah cheers us on.
I cringe, letting Dani pull me up the stairs, but catching her around the waist as soon as we reach the landing. Lifting her off her feet, I enjoy her squeal as I run down to my old room.
The bed’s not even made, just a blanket covering the mattress, and we tumble onto that thing, rolling from one side to the other as we make out, our kisses frantic with passion.
I suck her neck, then work my way back to her lips, my hands gliding all over her, my fingers itching for her smooth skin.
She’s the first to wiggle her fingers under my shirt, and I follow suit, feeling her up over her silky bra.
Her tongue continues to destroy mine, only taking short breaks to lift my shirt over my head. Then she wriggles off her jacket and the shimmery thing she’s got on underneath.
I groan, pressing my nose between her breasts, then kissing a line up to the base of her chin.
She rolls sideways so I can unhook her bra, then scrapes her fingers over my scalp as I kiss and suck her nipples until they’re puckered and slippery.
“Mmmmmm,” she moans, bucking her hips against mine, making it blatantly obvious that she’s been as dry as I have these last few months.
I haven’t even looked at another girl, because she’s it. The only one who’s been able to ignite my heart. And I’m having her. Enjoying every inch of her.
“Yes, yes,” she pants as I move to unbutton her jeans. She brushes my fumbling fingers aside, helping me out and stripping off her pants.
I do the same, kicking the fabric off my ankles. My belt buckle hits the floor with a thud, and I roll my naked ass back to face her.
She grins down at my dick, wrapping her fingers around it with a playful smile. “Hey, buddy. I really missed you too.”
I grin. “He’s been pining for you, baby.”
Brushing her locs over her shoulder, I kiss the skin I’ve just exposed, hissing with desire when she squeezes my head.
“Really pining,” I choke out, enjoying her rumbling laughter as she flops onto her back and pulls me on top of her.
As much as I want to plunge right into her, I take my sweet time, working her body into a messy frenzy with my tongue and fingers. She comes with glorious wails, her body jerking, her legs snapping together as she writhes on the bed.
She’s all things wet and slippery by the time I make it back up her body and I start nudging my dick against her opening. It’s one hungry MOFO and wants in.
“Got any… pro… tec… tion?” She gasps out the words, still flying high off the orgasm I just sent ripping through her body.
“I fucking better,” I growl, lurching off my bed and checking my wallet.
Oh, thank fuck!
I kiss the condom packet before peeling it open and wrapping myself. I can’t wait for the day when I don’t need one of these things, but for now…
Crawling back up the bed, I nestle myself between her thighs, carefully lining us up before slowly easing into her.
She takes me one inch at a time, her head tipping back, her mouth popping open as I fill her. I check that she’s good before starting to slowly move in and out of her. I can’t take my eyes off her face.
She has such a beautiful face, and when her eyes pop open and she catches me gazing at her, she stills beneath me.
Touching my face, she rubs her thumb across the bottom of my chin and smiles at me. “I love you.”
My heart skips a beat. I stop moving, my hips pressing her into the mattress as I turn my head to kiss her palm.
“I love you too.” My voice is thick with emotion.
Her smile grows a little wider, practically glowing as she basks in my adoration.
Because I do.
I adore this woman.
My woman.
My Dani Girl.
