Page 50 of Keys

I flipped us over quickly and started stripping her clothes off her. We were both naked and I was lining myself up to plow into her when Keys stopped me. “Condom.”

“I haven’t been with anyone else,” I informed her quickly. Her response was a disbelieving laugh.

“Yeah right, and I’m suddenly the Virgin Mary.”

“I’m serious.”

“I know you were with that diner chick, and you just had some club whore sucking you off in the middle of the damn clubhouse, Wallace!” The way she hissed my name and tried to get out from under me, pissed me off.

“That half-assed, unfinished blowjob was the most action I’ve seen since the last time we were together, and it only happened because I was too fucking drunk to care anymore.”

She rolled her eyes and attempted to push her arms between us once more, in order to cover her top half from my view. I moved them back down. “Aubrey and I went out a few times, but we never did more than make out a few times.”

“Aubrey?” She questioned. Either Keys was the best actress ever or she really didn’t know who her sister was.

“Diner girl.”

“Her name is Aubrey?”

“Yeah, why?”

She had this look in her eyes for a moment and then she shook it off. “Nothing. Never mind. I’m definitely not talking about your last girlfriend with you while we’re lying naked in bed together.”

“She wasn’t ever my girlfriend.”

“Neither was I, but that didn’t mean we weren’t something to one another during the time we dated.”

“You were always mine!” The statement came out on an angry growl as I finally let go of her and sat up. Keys didn’t move. Her hair stayed fanned out in all it’s red glory across my pillows. The beautiful body of hers, that I couldn’t get enough of, dared me to come back and satisfy it, but the guilt of knowing exactly who Aubrey was kicked in and I wasn’t sure it was a smart move. At least, not until Keys knew the whole truth.

“Why the change of heart earlier?” I asked.

“What?” Her voice was barely audible, but I couldn’t miss the fact that her body stiffened in response to my question.

“Why did you have a change of heart and come to see me?”

“Quickshot,” she started, using my road name once more. “Wallace,” she corrected. “I just needed some comfort after finding out the things that I did.”

“So, you came here?” Part of me wanted to believe her, but I also knew better than to just dive in blind.

She shook her head. “I came here to confront you about digging into my past again. Part of the NDA I signed nullifies the no contact order if it’s ever found out that someone else learned the truth, especially if I’m the reason they learned it. I don’t think my father, or his lawyer, would split hairs over whether I specifically told you or a deep dive background check revealed the information.” She chuckled.

“Sometimes, I think that’s why my father’s lawyer kept all the information on a mainframe that had a connection to the internet. I think he was trying to make sure someone found out eventually.”

I sat there on the edge of the bed taking that in, as she continued to lie there for a few more minutes before she moved to get up. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have started anything with you when I woke up.” Keys bit into her bottom lip and looked away, not willing to meet my eyes any longer. I tracked down her body, taking in the flush that spread across her chest, coloring the skin there to almost the hue of her dusky pink nipples. Despite how much I wanted to lean in and suck one into my mouth, I knew answers were needed first, for both of us.

“Why did you?”

“I’ve been numb pretty much since I was fifteen and blackmailed my father in order to save my mother from the never-ending cycle with him. I’ve carried that numbness inside of me all these years and the only thing that thawed it a bit was the time I spent with you. I needed to feel something again, something other than anger and betrayal that came with finding out that my own father might be harming girls who are my age and younger. I needed you. You’re the only who can make all the rest of it go away.”

Well, how the hell was I supposed to deny her after that? As Keys stood, I reached out and pulled her toward me so that her legs rested between mine and my face was even with those pert nipples I’d just been admiring.

“Stay,” I whispered before leaning in and placing a kiss just below her left breast, right where her heart beat the strongest. “I’ll help you forget for a little while.”

She climbed on my lap, straddling me until her legs were wrapped around my waist. “I don’t want to forget. I want to feel. I need you to make me feel.”

Our lips met, and I sucked on the puffy bottom lip that could never stop staring at as her hands ran up my back before scraping her nails across the back of my scalp. I shivered with her there in my arms. She might have wanted me to make her feel something, but it was mutual. Having her in my arms again was never supposed to happen, and I wasn’t about to miss out on the opportunity, no matter how fleeting it might be.

I lifted her and flipped us both so that she was back under me and without any pretense or warning I slid my hardened length into her soft, wet heat. “Sarah,” I moaned into the side of her neck. “I fucking missed you.”
