Page 29 of Just Watch Me

Skylar strode through the door seconds later like a man on a mission, a mission calledFuck Jesse Senseless. He stood tall with his shoulders squared and jaw tight. His eyes flashed fire as he stared at me. Without saying a word, he turned to lock the door then pulled his jacket off, tossing it carelessly on my couch as he stalked toward me like a jaguar. “You sure?” He stared intently at me. A flicker of hope flashed in his eyes.

I took in his determined expression and noticed the warmth that was ever-present with Skylar. He was obviously down for whatever I wanted, even if that meant changing my mind. It was what I needed for the last shred of fear to disappear. “Not a single doubt,” I said with conviction.

We surged toward each other and met in the middle of my apartment. I cupped his face as his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close. His lips fit perfectly against mine. I moaned at the contact I’d been craving for weeks. If he didn’t have such a tight grip on me, I was sure I would float away. He tugged on my hips like he couldn’t stand to have any air between us while I slid my hands into his hair.

His tongue teased mine as we stepped in sync back to my bed. Before he made contact, he shifted us so my back was to the bed. I stopped when it hit the back of my knees. Skylar released me, and I let out a pathetic whine.

“Undress me.” His tone wasn’t demanding or demeaning. Skylar knew what we both wanted, and he took charge to make it happen like he had the time he’d called me for phone sex.

I was so grateful he understood me.

With trembling fingers, I carefully unbuttoned his white collared shirt that likely cost more than all of my dorky T-shirts combined. I licked my lips as I exposed his smooth chest. I slid the shirt off his shoulders, and he took it from me and tossed it behind him without looking. It missed the couch, but I wasn’t about to make a fuss.

I stopped and stared at his tattoo since Ifinallyhad the chance to admire all of it. Puffy clouds covered his shoulder and shifted behind jagged mountains that had water running through them. The water continued between tall trees on his bicep to form a lake just above his elbow. It was intricate and detailed and perfectly shaded in grayscale. I loved it. I traced the flow of water down his arm with my fingertips. “It’s beautiful.”

“Thanks,” Skylar said in a hoarse voice. “I got it after my first trip to the Pacific Northwest. I’ve always loved visiting here.”

He hooked his thumbs in the waistband of my pants and tugged. I should’ve considered my underwear choice before summoning my neighbor like a nerdy siren. At least they were sans holes and plain gray instead of my pair with little Superman symbols all over them.

“I’ve thought about you, about this, every day since we met.” His gaze slowly traveled up my body.

I sucked in a breath when he met my eyes. It was a heady feeling to not only have his undiluted attention on me, but to know, tofeel, how much he wanted me.Me.A guy who never got a second look at a bar. A guy who people easily ignored because I listened more than I spoke. We might not have much more than the night together, but I was already glad I’d made the move. I wanted to cherish every moment, every activity with him. And if the activities didn’t require clothes, even better.

We made short work of the rest of our clothes because neither of us could delay any longer. The weeks we’d known each other had been the foreplay, and I was ready for the main event. I needed to touch his cock, to worship his body with my hands and mouth.

He stepped closer to me and propped one knee on the end of the bed, wrapped one arm around my waist and the other around my shoulders, then pushed me back with his body. His hold cushioned me, and he cradled me like I was precious. I’d never felt precious before, not in a good way, at least. My parents treated me as a precious heirloom to be locked in a cabinet and admired from afar—never handled for fear of damage. Skylar treated me as though I were worth being enjoyed and savored. Like the only way to properly appreciate me was to handle me. I wanted nothing more than to be handled by him so I could sear the memory of his touch in my mind and relive it once he moved on to his next port of call.

I scooted up the bed and pulled him with me, our mouths barely leaving each other. The incendiary tension between us had reached red alert. I was ready to burn.

He kissed his way down my neck and across my chest.

When the tip of his tongue teased my nipple, I writhed wantonly. I didn’t even know Icouldbewanton. “That feels so good.”

“I know.” He glanced up at me and winked.

Before I could tease him for being cocky—well deserved, but still—he licked a path across my stomach, and I lost all rational thought. Skylar hovered over my dick, breathing, and it twitched toward his mouth, seeking heat. He teased the head of my cock with his tongue, licking the drop of precome on my slit, giving me only enough to have me on the verge of begging for more. Skylar made me greedy.

“Delicious.”

I thrust toward his mouth.

Skylar chuckled. “So responsive.” He cupped my balls and stroked me with his other hand. “I knew you would be.” He teased his middle finger beneath my balls and close to my hole.

“You make me this way.” I squirmed, trying to get his finger where I wanted it.

Skylar’s responding smile was brighter than the stars. He leaned over me and kissed my breath away.

Everything moved quickly after that as I lost myself in Skylar. When I begged for more, he freely gave it. As I demanded things, he complied with a quick grin. I’d never felt so powerful in or out of bed before.

“I need you in me, Sky,” I commanded as I tugged on his hair.

He stilled and let my dick fall from his mouth. “Sky. I like it.”

I hadn’t realized I’d used a nickname. It suited him. When I thought of the man gazing at me with affection, I thought of beauty and mystery and power and limitless opportunity, like the sky.

Sky licked his lips. “Lube? Condoms?”

I pointed to the bottom of the narrow lamp stand I used as a nightstand.
