I offer her my arm as we walk back to my car, just in case she gets dizzy again.

The car ride back to her apartment feels so normal despite this being our first date. Almost like we’ve done it a million times. We crank the music up, and Jade belts out song after song. The way she’s able to let loose and enjoy herself makes it impossible not to join in.

By the time we get back to her place, I feel reluctant to part ways. I park in front of her building and turn to her, opening my mouth, but she cuts me off before I can say anything.

“Do you want to come up for a drink?” she asks.

I close my mouth and smile. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

She leads me upstairs to her apartment, and once inside, she turns to me. We just stare at each other, like we’re locked in place. Her gaze drops from my eyes to my lips, and I swear I see her breath hitch.

I take a step towards her, unable to hold back any longer. I gently push her back by her shoulders until she’s pressed against her front door.

She visibly gulps, staring up at me with slightly widened eyes. I keep my eyes on hers as I lean in, my hands drifting up, one resting on her cheek, the other plunging into her hair.

As soon as my lips touch hers, I feel any control I had disappear completely. Her tongue darts out, begging for access that I’m happy to give her. The taste of her floods my mouth, and it’s even better than I’d imagined.

I have her breathless within seconds. Her hands pull at my shirt, desperately trying to yank it off of me.

I pull away and take a step back, letting a smirk slide across my face. “Impatient, are we?”

JADE

It’s been a long time since I've been this close to anyone. The air between us crackles with tension and possibility, like a live wire about to spark. The scent of his aftershave mixes with the faint smell of alcohol from earlier. It's intoxicating.

He’s leaning over me, my back against my front door. I slip around him, brushing my body against his as I grab his hand, hoping he’ll follow me.

But Ethan doesn't follow. He leads. His confidence is by far his finest attribute. He's a natural-born leader and that turns me on.

He walks further into my apartment as if it were his idea, my hand firmly grasped in his. He goes over to my couch, relaxing back, and pulling me down next to him.

My heart races as I lean towards him.

His lips press softly against mine. It feels like fireworks going off inside my chest, and he gently coaxes my mouth open with his kisses.

His hands find their way into my hair, tangling themselves within the messy locks that fall around my face. I expect his kiss to deepen but instead, he pulls gently at my hair, turning my head and trailing kisses down my jawline, leaving my mouth open and gasping for more.

He stops at my earlobe which he nips gently before he whispers. "I've been wanting you all day."

My entire body shivers.

"Mmmm," I moan softly, running my fingers down his back and feeling the warmth that emanates from him through his clothes.

My reaction seems to excite him, and he suddenly pulls me closer.

I can feel his erection pressing against me, the outline of it through his pants making my heart race with anticipation. I moan softly again into his mouth as he gently grazes his teeth over my bottom lip.

His hand slides down my back and under my dress, his hand firmly grabbing my ass and pulling me even closer. Then he removes his hand and begins to move down the front. I inhale sharply as his fingers move under the waistline of my panties.

He leans in close enough that his warm breath tickles my skin as he whispers, "Do you like this? Do you want me to keep touching you?"

I whimper out a yes, unable to form proper words with how good it feels. He smiles against my skin before pulling back to look me in the eyes.

"Then tell me you want more," he says with a husky voice, his finger pressing the hardened bud between my legs.

"Please," I manage to get out between gasping breaths as I watch him watch me.
