Lina giggles, then turns to Bailey. “Rein in your fuck buddy, B.”
Bailey’s eyes playfully lower. “Why don’t you rein in yours?”
Mason and I laugh in unison.
Lina cocks her head to the side. “Ha. Ha.”
“Because Mason and Bailey used to be fuck buddies.” Christian pokes his head over to us with a chuckle.
Lina whips her head around. “You figure that out all on your own, did you?”
“Everyone’s so feisty this morning,” I comment, palms up in front of me. “Let’s save it for the race, okay?”
“I heard you and Lina have been practicing.” Mason winks at me.
Bailey hooks an arm around Mason. “They’ve been practicing a lot more than running.”
Lina and I look at each other right when the whistle goes off. Suddenly, a sea of people takes off around us. Lina starts ahead of me, but I quickly catch up.
“Come on, Carter. I know how well you are with cardio.” She smirks.
I bump her with my shoulder. “Now you want to joke.”
Lina and I run at a measured pace. We pass the tall buildings downtown and small coffee shops.
Now that the sun is up, the weather is even warmer. Sweat starts to bead on my forehead. Glancing over at Lina, I notice herrolled-up T-shirt sleeves exposing her glistening skin. I wonder if anyone would notice if I pulled her into one of the alleys between the buildings.
It’s a Saturday morning, which means there will be no one in the offices and no traffic because the street is closed anyway. There are only a few little coffee shops open, and it looks like they are only for walking up.
Patiently, I wait for Lina to slow down a little. I keep my eye on her and the alleyways. When her pace changes and I see an opening, I swing my arm in front of her and grab her around the waist.
“Carter!” she gasps.
Laughing, I wrap both arms around her, shoving her into a small alcove to the side of a closed shop. Light doesn’t quite hit this side of the building, so we’re immediately eclipsed by the heavy shadows.
“Someone will see us!”
“It’s dark over here,” I reply before spotting a large family-size public restroom right next to us.
“We’re in public.” She gingerly pushes me away. There’s no force behind it.
“In here.” I clasp her hand as she follows behind me. Once we’re both inside, I lock the door behind us. “Another family restroom to save the day.”
“I can’t be around you without wanting to touch you, kiss you, and stick my tongue inside of you,” I growl into the salted skin on her neck. Caging her in, she playfully squirms underneath me until she realizes that I’m not moving.
Her laughter moves from a full belly laugh to a shallowchuckle. Lina pulls at the drawstrings on my shorts. “You want my dick, baby?”
Her eyes look hooded and heavy. “I could go for a quickie.”
My lips and tongue glide along her chin, up to her ear, and over to her soft lips. The moment we connect, her core bucks into mine.
“You’re already hard for me,” she purrs, sucking my tongue into her mouth.
Pressing my mouth deeper into hers, I open wide, trying to get as close as I can. Cutting off both of our breaths, our noses are smashed against each other’s faces in a desperate frenzy.
“Mmhmm,” I moan, pushing off the wall with one hand. My tongue licks at the inside of her lip while I slide my hand under the elastic band of her shorts.
“Oh,” she gasps. Rolling her body into me, she chases my two fingers as I search for the wetness of her slit. They both easily slip inside, sending a bolt up my spine before electrifying the head of my dick. Ready to bust off of my pants, precome drips with desperation. It’s hard and pulsating.
