“Mmmm. You taste like pizza and cherry Chapstick. It’s quite the combination.” She smiles under me while I wrap my legs around her and straddle her waist. I sit up and slide my hands down her chest and over her arms, causing a heavy silence between the two of us. The intensity is almost immediately suffocating me as I wait for one single sign that she’s fine with me attacking her like this. I’m trying to make a point, but of course if she says no, I’ll stop immediately.
“Don’t you think you should be between my legs for this to work out?”
“Oh. Is that what we’re doing? This is me giving you space.” I decide to tease her just a little, even though I want nothing more than to dive straight between her legs and take care of my sexual frustrations.
“Space may be overrated.” She’s not smiling anymore and I know I need to move quickly to keep her with me.
I slide her arms over her head as I lower my face to hers. “I think I have to agree. I like you much better up close.”
“You’re not so bad yourself like this, you know.”
“We could be even closer if you’d like.” She pulls her bottom lip between her teeth and still manages a smile before I kiss her and slide my own teeth over her lip instead.
“Mmmm. You’re always so tempting.” She moans and squirms beneath me, no doubt ready for me to slide between her legs and take this home. I adjust my body so that I’m between her legs.
She lifts them up, allowing me to slide her shorts off before she turns to her side. I slide in behind her and without another thought, I’m balls deep inside her, thrusting in and out. Rotating my hips and holding her against me feels perfect. She feels perfect against me. Her scent. Her touch. Even the sound she makes as I invade her without apology.
“Fuck, Kali,” I whisper into her neck and grip it with one hand, using it as leverage as I pull her towards me over and over again. I needed this. I needed her and I have no plans to let her go this long without spending time with her again.
I miss Kali. I miss laughing with her and the fun we have even when we’re being serious. If she still needs space, she’s going to have to figure out a way to get it around spending time with me.
Chapter Twenty-One
Noah
Things are different since our drive the other day. She’s been avoiding me, but to be fair she’s been keeping her distance from everyone. I’ve been in my own head trying to figure out what I’m doing and how I want things to be with her.
I’ve loved her my entire life. Actually, I loved the woman I thought she was. I had no idea who she was and what she was capable of until recently and I have to say I’m loving this Kali even more. I just wish I hadn’t waited until she fell for my best friend. This is ridiculous. I’m stuck thinking about her being with him possibly when he shouldn’t even be in the picture.
This is what happens when you don’t go after what’s yours. Someone else will. And you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences.
I’ve been gone all day, on purpose. I knew she was home from work today and instead of her trying to hide from me, I thought I’d make it easy on her. Easy on me.
It didn’t work. I’m more irritated now than I was to start with. I plan to talk to her tonight. She needs to know where I stand because I really haven’t taken the time to tell her. It’s hard to tell someone something when you’re not sure yourself.
It’s four in the morning by the time I pull into my driveway. The house is dark and I’m sure she’s sleeping, so I pull out the whiskey and sit by the pool to think. The moonlight shines bright and flickers across the pool, pulling my attention towards the water as I continue to drink.
She’s haunting me even as I sit here trying to understand her. How did it get to this? Kali has always been a weakness for me and now it seems she’s mastered that to its fullest.
I drop back the last of my drink and pour another one before I head back inside. The house is quiet. So quiet that I’m not even sure anyone is here. Levi’s truck is gone, so who knows.
Leaning on the bar I contemplate my next step with her. Do I continue to avoid any contact with her in hopes of her one day coming to her senses about us? Or do I get in her face about us and force her to pay attention to me now that she has my undivided focus.
I’ve never been one to skirt around shit, so why am I doing that now. Swallowing the last of my drink, I drop it in the sink and head straight for her room.
I push open the door and see her curled up on one side of the bed, with the covers kicked off her. Her tiny figure barely takes up any room and I’m instantly itching to move in next to her. I watch her sleep for a few seconds before I close the door.
As I move closer, I quickly decide it’s time to stop allowing her to ignore me and I’m sure as fuck about to do the opposite of avoiding her.
I pull my t-shirt over my head and drop it on the floor before I crawl up her bed from the bottom. She doesn’t budge as I roll her over and slide my face between her legs. The t-shirt and panties she’s wearing make it easy for me to get right into position.
I bite the lace covering her, causing her to startle. “You scared me.” I move her shirt and blow slowly across her stomach until she lifts her hips just slightly.
“Sorry.” Pulling her panties down her legs, I sit up and unbutton my pants. I waste no time pulling my dick out and there’s no need to do anything to get me hard. I’m already there.
“Noah. I have to tell you something.”
“No talking. Just let me take care of you.” I slide my hands up her smooth legs until I have her ass in my hands. Lifting her hips, I lick her pussy once before I suck her clit until she’s writhing against my face. She grips my hair and holds me in place while I work her over. Taking note of every sound she makes along with every squirm, I begin to learn what makes my Kali tick in the bedroom. What makes her crazy and what leaves her indifferent.
