Her eyes fluttered closed. “I think we should seal our decision with a kiss.”
“I agree.” Our mouths met in a frenzy of need. Her body melted into mine as I held her tight. I thrust my tongue into her, dipping in and out, lashing at hers with my own. Her body arched into me, her breasts pressed against my chest, and it took everything in me not to rip the shirt off her body.
Lily whimpered, pushing up on her toes and winding her arms around my neck. I nipped at her mouth, then teased her further by laying kisses along her jaw and down her neck. Licking my way back up to her swollen, plump lips, I fisted her hair, pulling her tighter against me. I let out a growl before my lips crashed into hers again.
I shifted one hand down to cup her ass, lifting her leg up, and pulled her in tight to fit against my cock. She moaned into my mouth spurring me on as she tilted her hips to rub back and forth against me. My desire for her overtook me. I wanted to throw her across the nearest surface and ram into her until we both came so hard we blacked out.
I sucked her tongue into my mouth, swirling around it with my own. I was fucking her mouth with my tongue like I wanted to fuck her body. When Lily shuddered, I moved my leg to fit in-between hers, suddenly wincing at the sharp pain stabbing my ankle.
She pulled back, her eyes pinched with concern. “Are you okay?”
I nodded, pissed that my fucking ankle was being a cock-blocker.
She laid her cheek on my chest, probably hearing my heartbeat jack hammering away. “I should probably get back to work.” Her hands roamed up and down my back in soothing circles.
I chuckled. “You sure you can’t play hooky?”
“I’ve got a jerk for a boss,” she groaned playfully.
I grinned. “Yeah, I heard he was a bit of an asshole.”
“Only sometimes.” She stood up on her tiptoes and laid a quick kiss on my lips.
“Want to watch a movie tonight?” I wrapped my arms loosely around her waist.
She wrinkled her nose. “Anything but horror or psychological thrillers.”
“Are you a Star Wars fan?”
“Am I? Of course I am. My dad and I would have marathons watching them all.”
“Perfect. Let’s start with the first one and see how far we can get through them tonight.” Or how long until we forgot about what was on the screen.
“Okay, now go.” She stepped back and motioned at me with her hands flapping to further emphasize it was time for me to leave.
I decided to grade papers in my study until dinner. As I swung out into the hallway, I just about ran over Ms. Ketill.
“Good morning, Jaxon.” A mischievous smile lit up her face.
“Morning.”
“How’s your ankle doing today?”
“Decent.” It was likely a mild-to-moderate sprain, and I knew I’d be fine in a week or two.
“If it gets worse, let me know. I’ll call the doctor to stop by.”
“I should be fine.”
“And Lily?”
My head snapped up at her knowing tone.
“She’s good. Working right now.”
“Excellent to hear you two figured things out.”
“Yeah, things are good.” I hedged.
