Page 58 of Corrupt Obsession

Dinner passed in a lust-hazed fog, but she came to when Mom cupped her flushed cheek and said, “It looks like you got some sun. Did you have fun today?”

“Lots,” Jesse answered for her.

She didn’t have to look at him to know he wore a broad grin. She resisted the urge to kick him under the table and avoided looking at Dad.

“What movie did you see?” Mom asked.

She felt a burst of alarm that was immediately canceled out by Jesse, who said, “We ended up driving further than we anticipated. The spot on the lake was so nice, we thought it would be a shame to leave after only an hour, so we stayed and canceled our other plans.”

She was grateful yet taken aback by his glib tongue. When had Jesse become such a proficient liar?

The door to her left opened, bringing Violet out of her reverie. Jesse stepped into the bathroom, dressed in gray slacks and a black button-up shirt for church. He went motionless when he spotted her. As his eyes moved over her, she grinned and did a spin so he could get the full effect. When she stopped, she saw Jesse had closed his door and was undoing his belt.

Her heart leapt in treacherous anticipation, even as she blanched. “What are you doing?”

“What does it look like?”

She took a step toward the safety of her bedroom. “I told you; I’m not doing anything while Mom and Dad are around!”

“They’re eating breakfast.”

“I don’t care!” she hissed.

She tried to escape into the safety of her bedroom, but he wrapped an arm around her middle, pulling her back while firmly closing her door.

“Jesse,” she groaned as he turned her to face him and backed her up to the vanity. “We can’t.”

“Don’t you want me?” he asked huskily.

She wanted him so badly, it scared her. “We’re going to church!”

“That’s not what I asked you.”

He cupped her jaw, his piercing blue eyes making her stomach jitter. The way he focused on her as if there were no one else in the world was thrilling and unnerving. Did he start out this intense with every girl he was with? The stab of jealousy gave her the strength to yank her chin out of his hold. He frowned, but didn’t back off.

“Tell me you want me.”

“I do, but?—”

He gave her a hard kiss. “That’s all I need to hear, baby.”

She was distracted by the endearment, which he’d uttered a handful of times. The first time she heard it was when he apologized for ruthlessly taking her virginity. She loved the soft, tender way he said it. Had he called all his girlfriends, baby? Even as she pondered this, Jesse knelt at her feet, pulled her dress up, and kissed her over her underwear. Her toes curled, and her blood thickened as desire snaked through her veins.

“You can’t,” she croaked.

“I can,” he said simply, and with one tug had her underwear dropping to her ankle boots. “Hold this.”

She obeyed automatically, holding her skirt out of his way before she belatedly tried to sidestep. “Mom and Dad…”

“Are occupied,” he said as he draped one of her legs on his shoulder. “Like we’re about to be.”

Even as she braced herself against the vanity, she made one last token resistance. “Jesse, I don’t think we should…”

“Shh, baby, we don’t have much time.”

Her lungs seized as his tongue slid through her folds. Two days ago, she wouldn’t let him kiss her, and now she was letting him go down on her with their parents just a few rooms away.This wasn’t right. It was disrespectful and immoral and wicked and… Her legs quivered as his tongue feathered over her clitoris. It was also mind-numbingly pleasurable and felt too good to stop.

“Ungh.”
