“I know, baby. I’m just making sure you’re ready.” Grabbing hold of my dick, I rubbed it against her opening, lubricating it as much as I could, then carefully, I pushed inside her.

She remained still beneath me as I pushed all the way in, and when I was balls deep, I stilled with her, fighting to catch my breath. Her hands clung to me, holding me hard against her as she too gasped for air. And then we began to move.

I tried to go slow at first, making sure I was pushing against her needy little spot as I went, but then she dug her heels into the bed and thrust hard against me, urging me to go faster. “Fuck, baby. Are you close, because I don’t think I can last too much longer.” Fucking alcohol.

She started panting faster, a slight moan escaping her lips. I pushed harder against her, grinding myself against her pubic bone, and then she was crying out my name. “Jace!”

Her pussy started contracting around me and I was done. “Fuck! Mia!” I growled, pushing inside her twice more before I was exploding hard.

Fuck me. So much for that one nighter.

Chapter 9

Mia

The party didn’t finish up until after three o’clock in the morning. I’d lain there listening to all the screaming and yelling for two hours after I made Jace leave my room. Not that I would’ve gotten much sleep anyway after what’d happened between us.

I was still a little shocked at how brazen I seemed to have become when he and I were alone. It was like he drew this whole other side of me out that no one knew existed – me included.

Rolling over, I looked at the clock, which read: 9:47, and wondered why the hell I was awake. A soft knock sounded on the door, and I realized that must’ve been what woke me.

“Yeah?” I called out, my voice a little crokey.

“It’s Jace. Can I come in?”

He was trying to whisper, so I could only just hear him. My heart immediately started its usual disco beat when in Jace’s presence. I pulled the sheet up over my boobs, realizing I was still naked from last night’s interaction with him.

“Yeah, sure.”

The door cracked open and Jace slipped inside, quickly closing it and locking it after him. My breath caught when I saw he was just wearing his boxers and a shirt. I watched him move hesitantly towards the bed. Damn, he was a fine specimen.

His eyes skimmed over my naked shoulders before he met mine. “Do you mind if I sit?” he said, indicating towards the end of my bed.

I shook my head. “Sure.”

He lowered himself down, hooking one leg underneath him so he was facing me. “I wanted to apologize for last night,” he began.

My heart sank. I didn’t want him to regret it. If he didn’t want to do it again, that was fine, but regret doing it completely? That was like a knife to my heart.

There must’ve been something in my expression because his eyes widened a little and he immediately started back-tracking. “I mean, I’m not sorry it happened, I just wanted you to know that wasn’t the reason I came to your room. I just didn’t want you to think I only came to have sex with you.”

He was flustered, and it was cute. He really was worried I thought he was using me. I narrowed my eyes playfully and cocked my head to the side. “Do you remember anything from last night?”

His expression turned sheepish. Damn I loved that expression. “I remember the gist of it,” he said quietly.

“Well, you don’t have to worry. I was kind of the one who initiated it.”

He watched me as my words sunk in. “You initiated it?”

I nodded, clutching the sheet against me.

He looked a little shocked to say the least. “Uh…Okaaaay.” His eyes narrowed questioningly. “Can I ask why? I mean, I know I don’t really know you that well, but I’m pretty sure you’re not normally like this. I mean…you were a virgin in Aspen, right?”

I bit my lip. I wasn’t comfortable with this kind of conversation, but I knew it was one we needed to have. After the night before, I kind of had an idea, and I wanted to find out if he’d go for it or not. I nodded, wringing my hands in the sheets. “Yeah, I was. It’s just…I don’t know. I like the way you make me feel, and I know you don’t do relationships so…”

He frowned, looking even more confused than ever. “So…?”

“I can’t do relationships either, so I thought…maybe…we could like…hook up sometimes…” I almost groaned out loud. Oh my god. Hook up? That sounded so much better inside my head.
