“Don’t hide. What are you thinking?”

“I wasn’t annoyed. I was fine with things as they were, but I guess I was wondering why I didn’t hear from you after we had such an amazing night.” The words come out rushed. Then realizing what she just said, she tries to turn away from me again. I grab her chin again.

“Turning away from me won’t take away the words. First off, I didn’t have your number.” She opens her mouth to say something, but I speak again. “No, I was not going to ask my sister for it. I was going to come find you at home last night, but right before I left the hospital, I got called into an emergency surgery. I was there for hours and crashed at the hospital because I was too tired to drive home, only to turn around and come right back. I was waiting for you this afternoon. What did you think? I ghosted you?”

She puts her plate next to mine, puts her knees against her chest almost as if she’s holding on to them for support. “The thought did cross my mind.”

“You could have gotten my number from Mellie too, you know.”

“I know, but Jason, I was okay with it being just a one-night thing. I didn’t go into the other night expecting anything, but I can’t just do casual hookups. I want to state that up front. I know that I won’t be able to handle that.”

I pull her hands away from her knees, grab her legs and lay them across my thighs.

“Let’s get one thing straight. I’ve never ghosted anybody. That’s some coward shit. And this thing you have with Dr. Dud?”

“Doyle. His name is John Doyle, not Dud.” She rolls her eyes at me. In one swift move, I grab her hand and pull her to me. Her breasts are pressed against my chest as she straddles me.

“I know the asshole’s name. I’m telling you that this thing you had with him, the little fantasy in your head telling you he’s the one, that thing is over.” I run my hand down her spine and grab her ass, pushing her against my hard cock.

“Says who?” she challenges.

“Says me. You’re in my house, wearing my scrubs after swallowing my cum. Soon, I’ll be fucking your pussy in my bed. Dud’s out, angel. Dupree’s in.”

“You’re bossy. And filthy.” She leans down to kiss me, but I move my head, denying her.

“No more kisses until you agree that Dud’s out.”

“He was never in, Dr. Dupree.” To torture me, she grinds against me. She closes her eyes, arches her back and lets out a loud moan as she grinds ever so slowly. “He never wanted me.”

“But I do,” I tell her. Unable to resist, I suck at the base of her neck. She repositions herself right on top of my dick. If not for our clothes, I’d be able to slide right in. I slide my hand under her top and grab her breast, squeezing her nipple between my fingers. It goes from semi hard to pebble in an instant. “I want your body and everything else.”

“I wantyourbody and everything else,” she says back, sliding her hand into my sweatpants. As she wraps her hand around me, she finds my mouth and this time, I let her have it. We’re kissing deep as she strokes my dick, our moans filling the living room. We’re so lost that I barely register the sound of the front door opening, followed by footsteps and talking. Like a bucket of ice water has been dumped on her, Alex pulls away from my mouth.

The talking and walking comes to an abrupt halt, and I look up to find Mellie and Ananda staring at us. “I can’t believe you, you ho,” Ananda says. “We’ve been calling you for hours and even went to your house looking for you only to find you here humping Mellie’s brother after all that shit talking you did this morning.”

“Next time hang a sock on the door, Jase. I already have enough mental health issues,” Mellie says. She walks away carrying a pizza box into the kitchen. “Oh, Nanda! There’s Chinese food in here too.”

While Alex and Ananda try to stare each other down, I stand up with Alex’s legs wrapped around me.

“Don’t eat all the food,” I yell to my sister. “Make yourself at home, Ananda.” Without another word, I grab the cupcake that Alex had placed on the coffee table and walk us back to my bedroom.

I toss her on the bed, the movement so sudden, she lets out a yelp as she bounces on the mattress. I strip myself of my sweatpants and boxers and climb on top of her. In an instant, she’s naked too, her soft body wrapped around me.

This time, I let her climb on top of me and let her kiss her way down my body.

“Are you on birth control?” I ask as I pull her hair free of the ponytail and run my fingers through her damp curls.

“Mm-hmm.” That’s all I hear while she kisses and bites on my abs. “These abs should be illegal.” She bites down hard. As I flex, I pull her hair. “You’re going to pay for that,” she rasps before she bites me even harder.

I pull her up and kiss her lips roughly as I pull and suck on her lips. Just as suddenly as I claimed her mouth, I release it.

I lift her and place her on my cock, and she sinks down. With both of her hands on my chest, eyes locked with mine, she rides me, claiming me with her pussy. I grab her hips and help her find a more perfect rhythm. She throws her head back. Her pussy makes a slapping sound every time she pushes down.

“Oh, God, Jay,” she moans. “Yes! Deeper.” I lift her off, her protest merely a shout in the wind as I lay her on her side. I lift her leg and slide right back home, filling her to the hilt. I grab her hair and pound her from behind. It doesn’t take her long to call out my name again as she comes all over my dick.

Her orgasm pushes me over the edge, and I come inside of her. I roll over on my back and pull her to my side. With our bodies slick with sweat, we lie in my bed and try to catch our breath.
