He burst out laughing as he dropped the sponge then pulled me to his lips, kissing me deeply. Suddenly I was all too aware of the hardness between us.
“Did my mushrooms make it?” I asked between kisses.
“Yes, and everything else. Thank God that bottle didn’t break,” he said, biting my lip.
“Good, then tonight I’m cooking di
He pulled away and gave me a puzzled look. “I have no objection to that.”
“You never let me cook,” I bitched, making sure I brought up all the points I wanted to make before I let him ravage me.
“You never asked to,” he whispered before capturing my nipple in his mouth. I moaned and bucked my hips as he licked and sucked, circling my bud over and over. My sex pulsed as he moved up my chest to my neck. “Fuck, you look so sexy in candlelight.” He nuzzled my neck as I gripped his arms, moving myself along his hardness.
“What was that about replacing me with a vibrator?” I froze as he chuckled then pulled away to catch the fresh heat in my face.
“You deserved it,” I replied coyly.
“Maybe,” he whispered as his hand trailed down between us and his fingers began to taunt me. “Or maybe you just need to be reminded of who owns this.”
“Jayden,” I gasped as he pushed his fingers inside me, sliding them along my ridge. “I’m going to make you come all night so you don’t forget again.”
“Hilary!” I heard Gerri’s voice full of emotion as she walked in the front door. “Hil, you home?” Jayden groaned as I answered her before she burst through my bedroom door. “I’m in my bathroom Gerri and I’m not alone!”
I heard her hesitate just outside my door. “Okay, I really need to talk to you.” Her voice cracked again and my heart physically flinched. She needed me.
“I’ll be right there, hang on.”
Jayden stood, grabbing a towel and drying himself briefly before reaching for me. He shut my bathroom door and took his time drying me before slipping the negligee down on me and then wrapping me in the robe, leaving it untied.
“This feels amazing, thank you,” I said before kissing him. “I’m sorry, but this doesn’t sound good. I may have a situation to deal with.”
He feathered kisses down my chin to my neck, his hands roaming the negligee and pulling it up over my ass as he bent down and placed kisses sporadically over my stomach, stopping just above my sex with a tongue filled kiss.
“Fuck, I need you so much,” he said, licking my folds briefly before trailing his kiss back up to my mouth. I stood paralyzed and more turned on than imaginable as he finally closed the robe, tying it tight.
“I’ll head home. I have to walk Trip, anyway.” He slid his tongue along my bottom lip and I opened for him, kissing him feverishly. When he pulled away and clicked on the light, it was like reality set in, bursting our bubble. I sighed and thanked him.
“Go, I’ll blow all these out,” he urged, referring to the candles before he looked back at me with longing. “I love you.”
“I’ll text you,” I said, opening the door. He gripped my wrist, stopping me.
“Don’t you dare use that vibrator.” I lifted a brow. “I mean it, woman.” He scowled and I leaned up and kissed his divot.
As suspected, Gerri was a hysterical mess. Mike had broken it off with her, stating they were just too different. She found out through a friend at the bar he was getting back with his ex.
“I was so stupid to start it in the first place.”
“Why? You saw a guy you wanted to get to know and you went all out for it. Nothing wrong with that.”
She nodded, her face a snotty mess as I pulled her to me. “I’ve got you, girl.” She cried into my brand new robe and when she pulled away she remarked on it.
“That’s so soft. Is it new?”
“Yeah, my asshole bought it for me.”
“I heard that,” Jayden called from the hallway.
“Sorry, babe,” I said, winking at Gerri. Not wanting to miss Jayden leaving, I stood, opening her door and half closing it behind me as Jayden was turning to close my front door. From the breezeway he caught me peeking and jutted out his pouty bottom lip in protest of our ruined evening. I smiled at him, and thinking fast, pulled open my robe and flashed my negligee as he stood stu
“God dayum. Howdy, neighbor!”
Well, shit.
Jayden’s face turned dark in a split second as I sucked the air through my teeth. Jayden turned around to glare at Donald, the fifty-year-old drunken cowboy who had just seen the perfect damp outline of my private parts and he cowered in his apartment. He looked back at me and I shrugged my shoulders. Jayden slowly shook his head in disappointment before closing the door.
Well, he had already broken my ass today, what more could he do?
I went back to tend to Gerri.
“This day has been a disaster for both of us. Let me change into some comfy jammies and we can do our thing.” She nodded enthusiastically, but cried as I made us mushroom risotto, and continued to cry through half of the tiramisu before passing out at midnight. I checked my phone for texts and saw Jayden had sent one.
Jayden: I’m so going to mark your ass for that.
I ignored his comment about my grand flash because I was still wrapped up in Gerri’s pain.
Me: God, that was horrible. Please don’t break my heart. I never want to go through that again.
Jayden: That sucks. I like Gerri. That guy’s an asshole.
Me: I think she knew they weren’t good together. It’s late, babe. I have work. Are you going back tomorrow?
Jayden: Yeah I am. And though you are really good at changing the subject I AM going to redden your ass for that stunt.
Me: Have to catch me first .
Jayden: Goodnight. I love you.
Me: You better. You are the reason for the literal pain in my ass right now.
“You good?” I looked up to see Jayden hovering as I shucked corn at his mother’s picnic table in her back yard.
“Yes, is there something I can help you with, warden?”
“Ward—Hey, not cool. I’m not checking up on you.” Even as he said it, he was watching me do my chore carefully.
“Is it hard for you to watch?” I asked, curious.
“I’m not that bad,” he defended, picking up a piece of corn I had already worked and pulling a stray piece of hair off. I raised a brow as he put it back down quickly.
“I’ll go get you some tea.” I laughed as he walked off, admiring his perfect ass. His plain white-tee clung to him in all the right places, accentuating the vivid colors on his arm. I looked around the back yard of his mother’s single family home and imagined a young Jayden hanging from the tree limbs.
“How are you doing?” I looked up as Jayden’s mother, Mallory, joined me.
“Good, about done.” I had been surprised when I first met her. Jayden didn’t resemble her at all. She was short in stature with pale blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Jayden definitely must’ve taken after his absent father. I found it sad that she probably had a daily reminder staring back at her of the man who’d left her.
“So you two seem pretty serious,” she commented, giving me a wink. “I don’t expect you to want to talk about it with his mother, but I’m hoping for something small. That boy has only brought home one girl and that was in the seventh grade.”
I gave her a wink back. “I’m flattered. Thank you for telling me that. He’s so beautiful. I’m surprised you didn’t have to beat them off with a stick.”
