Fuck!

He had given her a lecture about him not being a pervert and here he was hard as a rock, wanting her more than he had ever wanted any other woman.

As her sobs subsided, Charlie looked up at him. “I’m sorry for releasing the floodgates. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. You probably think I’m a big baby?”

“I don’t think that at all. You have every right to be sad. If I was in your predicament I’m not sure how I’d handle it. It certainly explains why you looked upset earlier.”

“But still, when you invited me to share your room tonight, I’m sure you didn’t have this in mind.”

“No, I didn’t, but it’s no big deal. It sounds like you really needed a good cry. I’m glad I was here for you to be that shoulder to cry on.”

Charlie looked up at him with her doe-like brown eyes and his body tightened with need for her. Being so close to this woman was affecting his equilibrium. He wanted her. His cock was painfully hard. Jake only hoped he could untangle himself before she realized it.

“I appreciate your being so nice about this.” Charlie shifted her weight causing her hand to brush against his stiffness. She froze.

Jake pulled away. “Look, I’m sorry. I guess it’s just one of those things.” He was mortified. Heat rushed to his face. He thanked God the room was masked in semi-darkness, otherwise she’d see how red his face probably was. Charlie didn’t say anything. She merely looked at him with her eyes full of wonder.

“Don’t look at me like that, Charlie,” he groaned. Only minutes before, she had been distraught. Now there was a new look in her eyes. If he weren’t mistaken, it was one of desire.

“How am I looking at you, Jake?” Her question seemed innocent enough but there was an underlying current to it that made him question whether he was imagining the possibility that she might want him as much as he wanted her.

“Like you want me.” The words came gruffly from his throat.

“Maybe I do.” Her response surprised him. Had he just heard her incorrectly? There was no way she’d just said what he thought she did.

“You don’t know what you’re saying.”

She slid her finger down the center of his chest. He gasped at the blatant contact. “Please, Jake.”

“Charlie, you’ve had a lot to drink tonight. You may think you want me now, but in the morning you’ll regret it.”

“Tomorrow doesn’t matter. Let’s just live for the moment.”

“You can’t possibly want this. Not now, not after having such an emotional experience.” Jake wanted to give in to her more than he had ever wanted anything in his life. He could smell the faint scent of her pussy and it was driving him crazy. The very thought of burying his face between her thick thighs and feasting on her cunt sent spasms of delight through his body.

“I do. This is exactly what I need. Jake, please kiss me.” She gazed at him imploringly. How could he deny her this? But he had to!

“Charlie, you’re in no condition to ask for such a thing.” Despite his half-hearted argument, his cock ached for her. Jake’s breathing grew shallow, and he wanted to push her back on the bed and fuck her until she couldn’t walk.

“I know what I want.”

“You’re drunk,” he gave one more half-hearted protest.

“I’m not as inebriated as you think. What do you want me to do? Take a sobriety test? Please, Jake. I need you. Don’t go back to your bed. Stay with me.” Charlie batted her eyelashes and poked out her bottom lip. Her words weren’t slurred and she seemed quite coherent.

Looking at those sexy lips, he did the only thing he could—give in. Jake lowered his head and tugged on her tempting lower lip with his teeth. He nibbled at the tantalizing fullness of her mouth before crushing her lips beneath his. Jake kissed her hungrily wanting to devour her. When Charlie parted her lips ever so slightly, his tongue invaded the warm cavern.

She tasted like heaven. It was unlike anything else. She was sweet, spicy, warm and cool at the same time. Just kissing Charlie made him hotter than he had ever been for any woman. With reluctance, he lifted his head for a moment. “You won’t say I took advantage of you in the morning?” he asked with an uncertainty foreign to his usually confident self. Charlie made him feel like a schoolboy all over again, not knowing right from left or which way was up.

“Like I said, I don’t care about tomorrow. Let’s just think about tonight, and how much I want you. I know you want me, too. I saw the way you looked at me at the bar.” She placed her hand behind his neck and pulled him back down to her.

Jake’s head told him this wasn’t a good idea, but his dick was running the show. His cock was so damn hard, he feared he would spew come inside his shorts without ever sliding into the bliss that waited between her legs.

Charlie reached out and ran her hand down the front of his boxers, making contact with his penis. “You have quite a package hidden under these boxers. Take them off, so I can see exactly what I’m dealing with,” she demanded.

Jake complied quickly, practically ripping them off. He would have fallen on top of her afterward if she hadn’t halted him

“No, wait. Let me look at it,” she commanded softly. Jake knelt on the bed, his cock exposed to her gaze. He wasn’t ashamed of his body, and the hungry look in Charlie’s gaze filled him with manly pride.
