“I know the feeling,” she said, and for some reason her tone sounded almost rueful.
“I’ve been thinking about what to do,” I said. “How I can help my mom and also alleviate some of my concerns. I was thinking of bringing in a support worker to visit her a couple times a week. Or for an hour every day. Just to check in on her, maybe help out with the chores that are sometimes difficult for her. But she’d hate it,” I continued, countering my own idea as I began pacing. “I know she would. She already hates me fussing over her. She scolds me if I come over too many times a week. Inviting a stranger into her home to watch over her? No way.”
Drained of energy, I flopped down on the closest sofa and let my head rest back against the cushions, closing my eyes.
The sofa dipped as Kay sat down beside me. She snuggled up against my side, the same way she had dozens, hundreds, of times.
It should have been comforting. Itwascomforting. Being around Kay always made me feel better.
But having her sit next to me on the sofa was different this time.
Before, we’d simply been friends. Best friends. Now that we were together? Snuggling up close with our shoulders pressed together wasn’t innocent and chaste anymore.
Instead, her warm body was like a blazing inferno searing into me. Her very presence was enough to send my thoughts reeling,my previous worries flitting away like startled moths. The primal side of me began to push its way to the forefront of my mind.
My fingers yearned to dig into the flesh of her hips. My lips hungered to capture hers. My hands craved to caress her bare skin.
Kay tucked her head under my chin, her soft hair tickling my jaw, and I nearly lost it.
I was on the brink of shoving her down into the sofa, parting her thighs and giving her more pleasure than she’d ever had in her life. I wanted to kneel before her and worship her naked body. I wanted to dive between her legs and drown myself in her taste. I wanted to part her wet folds with my stiff cock and revel in her soft heat. I wanted to wrap my hand around her neck and feel every vibration of her throat as she cried out my name. I wanted to bury myself under her skin until all she could feel was my touch.
I wanted to consume her whole.
Now that Kay and I were together, every touch lit a fire inside me. Every touch propelled me to a place full of wild, hedonistic fantasies.
I clenched my fists and forced myself to stay still, keeping my eyes closed.
Kay was offering me the same kind, compassionate comfort she always had whenever I’d been upset in the past. She probably had no idea of the uncontrollable thoughts racing through me. The last thing I wanted to do was pounce on her like some animal. I had to restrain myself. I had to go slow and treat her with respect. I couldn’t let my more savage urges take over.
I told myself to cool it and willed the hardness in my jeans to soften before she noticed.
“Do you want me to come with you when you talk to your mom?” she asked.
My mind was so far gone I almost forgot what she was talking about.
“Yeah. Thanks.” Those were the only words I could grunt without giving away the roughness in my voice.
Kay lifted her head to look at me with her beautiful green eyes, so soft, so loving. She placed a hand on my chest, right above my heart. My cock twitched at that slightest touch.
I snapped.
Fuck it.
With no warning I yanked her into my lap and crushed our lips together, stealing her breath as she squeaked in surprise. I gripped her waist tight as my tongue plundered her mouth, hot, wet and desperate. She squirmed against me, but not to get away. No, she was pressing herself closer, responding to my kiss.
Yes,I thought.Melt into me. Let me taste you. Let me have you.
I let my hands travel up her ribcage until my thumbs brushed against the underside of her breasts. She let out a needy little whimper, delicious to my ears, as she writhed against me.
“Uh, guys?” said Chris as he stood on the second last stair leading down to the practice room.
We stilled. I hadn’t heard his heavy footsteps.
“Sorry to interrupt.” He truly did sound apologetic.
I groaned, dropping my forehead to rest in the crook of Kay’s neck and shoulder. I supposed I should have been glad it wasn’t Zain or Finn who caught us. At least Chris wouldn’t make a big fucking deal out of it.
“What?” I said flatly.
