Page 45 of Rival Hearts

They worked together with the same ease that they always had. There still seemed to be a lot unspoken between them, but Riley was sure they would get to that. For now, she was content to just be and enjoy the little moments with Jett.

Watching her skilled fingers prep the food was seduction in itself.

When they finished preparing the lasagna and Jett showed Riley how to layer everything into the casserole dish, the oven had already preheated, so they put the food inside and decided to chill on the couch with some TV while Jett put a timer on her phone.

“I’m going to check in on it at forty-five minutes, and then see how much longer I think it needs after that,” Jett said. “But if you ever make it on your own, I would recommend checking on it after forty minutes and every ten minutes after that until you get the hang of it.”

Riley nodded and turned on the TV. She was happy to have Jett around again, and things didn’t seem as weird as they had been, but Riley did notice that when she put on a movie, Jett didn’t go to cuddle with her the moment the title screen played. That was definitely out of the ordinary, but Riley didn’t know what to do about it.

Maybe putting on a movie was a bad plan, but Riley didn’t know what to say. It seemed easier to avoid the elephant in the room.

She didn’t want to confront Jett in case it pushed her away, but her imagination was running wild with all kinds of negative possibilities. She wanted to know what was going on in Jett’s head. Riley had never wanted to be a mind reader as much as she did in that moment.

When the lasagna was finally finished, the two of them enjoyed the food in mostly silence. Riley was definitely hungry and managed to devour two large pieces. When the two of them were done eating, there actually wasn’t much left in the way of leftovers and Riley laughed as she covered the dish in aluminum foil.

“That was really good,” Riley said and Jett nodded while patting her stomach.

“I feel like I could take a nap now, though,” Jett said and Riley nodded in agreement while she put the leftovers in the fridge.

“Do you want to go to the bedroom and lay down?” Riley asked.

“Yeah, actually,” Jett said. “I didn’t sleep too well last night anyway.”

“Why not?” Riley asked.

“Thinking too much,” Jett said, and her lovely face screwed up slightly.

“Oh,” Riley said, but she didn’t say anything else.

The two of them went to Riley’s bedroom and laid down on the bed. Riley pulled the comforter over the two of them and scooted closer to Jett so that the two of them could cuddle. And when Jett didn’t pull away, Riley sighed quietly and fell asleep with her head on Jett’s shoulder.

Riley was woken up to a light touch across her thigh and she sighed.

The moment the slight sound left her lips, she felt the hand roughly grasp her thigh and she gasped, fully opening her eyes to look down and see Jett with her hands on Riley’s lower body.

Jett looked up at Riley, lust flashing in her eyes as she looked up from under the hair that had fallen in her face. Riley’s breath faltered.

Jett looked like a fallen angel looking up at Riley like that, and as soon as Jett realized that she had Riley’s attention, she moved her touch closer to Riley’s inner thigh and pressed a kiss to below Riley’s belly button where her shirt must have ridden up in her sleep.

Even wearing pants, Jett’s touch on Riley’s thighs was sensual, and she whimpered, wanting more.

Jett looked up at Riley again and grinned before she moved her hands to Riley’s waistband. This was more like the Jett she had missed. Cheeky grin, assertive nature.

Riley was happy to see her again and as much as Riley didn’t think sex would solve all of their problems, she did want to have sex with Jett. She was turned on just thinking about it.

“I want these off,” Jett said, gesturing to Riley’s pants, and Riley immediately obliged, the two of them working to take Riley’s pants, shirt and underwear off of her. When they succeeded, Jett threw the clothes onto the floor and turned her head toward Riley’s thighs, biting along them.

Riley felt exposed, and she liked the way it made her feel. Jett was looking at her body with a fierce hunger and Riley was totally happy to let Jett devour her.

Riley gasped and moaned, but it felt too soon to beg, so she kept her words to herself—even though she wanted nothing more than for Jett to touch or taste her.

Jett bit Riley’s right thigh and grabbed her left one, spreading her legs further, and Riley took it. She started to shake in pleasure, shocking herself. It wasn’t like it had been that long since the two of them had sex, and Jett wasn’t even doing that much yet.

Jett then ghosted two fingers across Riley’s pussy, but she didn’t put them where Riley wanted them the most. Riley whimpered in need, silently begging for Jett to stop her teasing.
