Chapter Twenty-Six
Jay
Kate stares at me without saying anything for what feels like hours, when really a minute hasn’t even passed. I’m afraid I’ve gone too far, said too much, when she finally puts me out of my misery and speaks.
“YOLO.”
“What?” What the fuck is she YOLOing for? That term is freaking terrible.
She smiles her biggest smile at me, and I think maybe everything is going to be okay. “YOLO, Jay.”
“Yeah. I’m not following.”
“I only have one life to live, Jay. You’re right. I don’t want to be miserable. I don’t want to be a doctor. I want to teach. I want to help others grow and develop to be the best they can be. Whether it’s in math, science, literature, or French.” She starts speaking in what I guess is French, and man, I’ve never heard anything so sexy.
I tackle her onto the bed, and she yelps. “Say that again,” I demand, licking a line from her collarbone down to her breast.
“Saviez-vous que je parle français?”
“I have no idea what you just say, but it was sexy as hell.”
“Tu es sexy,” she breathes.
I press my erection against her as I suck a nipple into my mouth, causing her to whimper. “Keep talking,” I urge her.
“Je crois que je suis en train de tomber amoureux avec toi.”
“More,” I say as I make my way further down her body.
“Oh, mon Dieu! Ne vous arrêtez pas!”
Fuck. I have no idea what the hell she’s talking about, and I don’t care. She could be reciting the phone book, but that hot little accent she uses when she speaks…I just want to flip her over, pull her ass into the air, and pound right into her.
But Kate deserves to be worshipped, so that’s what I’m going to do. I lower myself between her legs and with one quick swipe of my tongue, she screams my name in a combination of surprise and ecstasy.
“Keep talking, Sunshine.”
“Qui se sent bien.”
As I lick and suck at her sweet center, she continues to mutter things I don’t understand in French until spasms start racking through her body, and she cries out my name. Her body shudders for several long moments, and I finally crawl back up her body and soundly kiss her on the mouth.
She looks deep into my eyes and says, “Je ne crois pas ... Je sais.”
“What?” I ask, still not knowing what she’s saying.
She just shakes her head and lifts her head up to kiss me. I let it all go for now, knowing that she’ll tell me in English when she wants me to hear it. Her head falls back on the pillow and she gives me a soft, satisfied smile.
I’m pretty sure I’ve just fallen for this girl.

“So were you serious about all that stuff last night?” I ask Kate over breakfast. I’m curious if it was all just pillow talk, or if she’s serious about switching her major. It would be a huge change for her…an overhaul of her entire life, pretty much.
She tenses and looks at me with wide eyes for a moment, and then seems to relax as she smiles. Interesting. “Yeah, I think I am.”
I reach across the table and take her hand. “I’m proud of you, Sunshine. You know I’ll be there for you in any way that you need me to be.”
“I do know that. Thank you.”
