Chapter Five
Kallie
I wake up in a light sweat. The aftereffects from the alcohol are thankfully gone, minus the headache I can feel creeping up behind my eyes. My mind goes back to the man who took over my dreams, the one man I shouldn’t be having insanely hot sex dreams about. Even just lying here, I can feel the wetness between my legs, coating my underwear—that I’m surprised I even managed to put on last night.
Lance is forbidden, someone I could only dream about, but I guess I shouldn’t be doing that either.
I reach under the blanket between my legs, gasping at how sensitive I am when my fingers touch my clit. My mind goes back to imagining Lance’s hands on my skin. Alex wasn’t ever really into foreplay and only worried about himself, so our nights usually ended with me getting myself off after he’d fallen asleep.
Reaching over, I open the nightstand and grab the vibrator I brought for this exact occasion. I know I’ll never actually have Lance, but I guess it won’t hurt anyone if I fantasize about having him, right? As I place the tip of it on my clit, my hips buck upward. The images of Lance running his hands along my body enter my mind, his naked chest above me as his fingers slowly enter me, pumping into me, the words I could imagine him whispering in my ear as he gets me off with only his fingers. “Such a good girl for me, Kallie.”
Euphoria washes over me, and I can feel the finish line coming closer just as the hum of the fan I had going in the corner turns off, and everything goes silent. My body jerks up, and the orgasm I was desperate for vanishes.
“What the hell?” I throw myself back down on the bed and let out a yell of frustration as I stare at the dark ceiling.
Seconds later, the bedroom door is thrown open, and a real scream leaves my mouth as I look around for something to protect myself with, but I only have the sex toy in my hand. I look at it and decide it’ll at least give me a head start. In a split-second decision, I throw the purple vibrator at the intruder as hard as I can.
“Ow! What the fuck? Kallie! Are you okay?” Lance stands at the doorway, a flashlight in hand and a panicked look on his face as he rubs the side of his head with his free hand.
“Lance? What–”
Oh, fuck. I just threw my purple vibrator at Lance. I sit up, pulling the blanket up higher to my chin in hopes of hiding from my embarrassment. What the hell is he still doing here?
Before I can answer him, he looks at the ground, and a handsome smirk takes over his face. The only source of light is coming from his flashlight and the slowly rising sun outside.
Lance bends down, reaching for my vibrator, and I scramble from the bed. My shirt falls and covers my naked thighs, but I’m not fast enough. Lance grabs the vibrator and looks up at me as I cross my arms.
“What are you up to in here, little Kallie?” I roll my eyes before trying to grab it from him, but he doesn’t let me. Instead, he holds his hand high in the air. I barely come up to his shoulder as it is, so there’s no way I can overpower this man.
“Lance. Come on, this isn’t funny.” I push up on my tippy toes—even though I know it won’t make a difference—and reach for it again, but he just laughs. “You’re right, this is hilarious.”
“It is not! Give it back!” Stepping even closer, I press my hand to his stomach, basically trying to climb him. He stiffens under me, as if realizing I’m half naked and trying to get my vibrator back. I try to pull away, but my foot gets caught on his boot, almost making me tumble backward.
“Woah, be careful.” Strong fingers wrap around my waist before I’m pressed flat against Lance’s chest, his face only inches from mine.
The throbbing need I had before the power went out? Yeah, it’s back ten times stronger. Lance surrounds me as I breathe in his scent, making my core throb. Cedarwood and musk .
His grip on my waist tightens for a second before it’s gone.
“Here.” He hands me the vibrator, takes a step back, and clears his throat. “I’m going to go see if I can get the power back on.” Without another word, he turns and disappears through the front door.
