“I thought you didn’t want that anymore.”

“Let’s just say you make me want things I shouldn’t. And,” I shift onto my knees and put my arms around him, “for some reason, I’m feeling very horny.”

That part is genuine. I can feel my arousal building despite feeling off-color, and now I’m touching Finn; it’s building tenfold. I’m desperate to get his clothes off.

“What about your sickness?” Finn asks, still not reaching for me. “I'm still worried about your condition.”

“Do you normally push away a woman wanting sex with you?”

“No…”

“Then don’t start with me.” I start to undo the buttons on his shirt. “You did say you would look after me tonight, yes? Then look after me.”

Finn groans, and suddenly I’m on my back as he kisses me fiercely. Our hands are everywhere as we pull at each other’s clothes, almost getting tangled up as we try to do the same thing simultaneously. I kiss his shoulders and chest as he throws off his shirt, and then his mouth devours my breasts once my pajama top is undone and pushed away from me. I shake it off my arms, only to fall back as Finn practically tears my bottoms.

Somehow, despite trying to touch and disrobe at the same time, we’re both naked and rolling in bed. It’s making my stomach feel a little weird, but the feel of Finn’s warm, firm body up against mine is making me forget it.

Am I stupid for doing this when I should be pushing Finn away? Possibly, but he’s like an addiction. Right now, I don’t care who he is. I don’t give a shit that he’s my landlord or that he has more money to handle compared to me.

I know that I need to be in his arms. I've missed his scent so much.

We end up with Finn on his back, his cock sliding into my body so smoothly that it makes my head spin, this time in a good way. My body has missed him, and I’m already so close to climaxing with him inside me. He urges me to rock on his lap, slowly riding him until I take over the rhythm. It feels like every smooth thrust is going to tip me over the edge. It is amazing.

Is someone moaning, or are both of us making noise? I’m not entirely sure; I’m just enjoying how great this feels.

Finn shifts a little and reaches between us, rubbing my clit with his thumb. That is enough to set me off, and my climax washes over me in a hot wave. My whole body tenses as I ride it out, and I struggle to breathe. Finn is also gasping for breath, growling through gritted teeth as he grips my hips, jerking upwards to meet me. Then he’s still, his whole body tensing before he collapses onto the bed, breathing heavily.

The dizziness is too much for me, and I slump over, Finn catching me and urging me to lie beside him. He tucks me into the side of his body, tilting my head up to kiss me.

“Now you need to rest,” he whispers against my mouth.

I’m too tired to argue. I want to feel him touching me all over again, but he’s made me exert myself that I need to shut down.

I can feel a smile on my mouth as I cuddle into his side, finally drifting off into sleep and wondering if I’ve ever fallen asleep this fast after sex before.

Hopefully, Finn doesn’t mind.

Finn

When I wake up, I find the bed empty. For a moment, I think that Jade has run away from me. Then I remembered that we were in her apartment; apart from the shop, there wasn’t really anywhere she could run off to. I can easily find her.

I lie in bed and think over the previous night. I hadn’t planned to make love to Jade, not at all. All I wanted to do was make sure she was safe and well and find that she wasn’t well and she was feeling unsafe with her ex still harassing her. Having sex was the last thing we should be doing.

Yet we did. Then Jade fell asleep in my arms almost as soon as we were done. I haven’t had a woman fall asleep that quickly after making love, and I’m not sure how to feel about it, especially when Jade started snoring louder than I’m used to.

At least I know she would have had a very good night’s sleep. She needs it if she’s not well.

She needs to go to a doctor. If she’s sick, a doctor needs to check on her properly. Maybe that would help. If Jade is concerned about the bill afterward, I can pay it for her. Jade will not be too impressed that I’m paying for her—she’s too prideful to ask for help—but it’s the least I can do. She has many things to focus on, and she shouldn’t have added stress thinking about a doctor’s bill.

Odd coming from her landlord, who is expecting a monthly rent.

I’m allowed to care about someone despite our relationship, right?

I do care about Jade—deeply. We haven’t known each other long, and we haven’t even spent that much time together if everything was closely thought out, but I care about her. I really like her, even when she’s driving me insane. Something about her makes me want her more than just her body.

Kenny will call me an idiot for even pursuing anything after what happened, but I don’t care. What’s the harm in trying? If I want to pursue something with Jade more than just the occasional round of sex, I’m going to need to be proactive about this. She could easily say no to it, and while that would be awkward, I would accept it.
