Page 66 of Withholding Nothing

“I just…what are we doing?” she whispered.

I sighed. “I don't know, to be honest. I'm just enjoying the beautiful woman who happens to be my roommate and taking things a day at a time. No need to rush things,” I admitted.

“Yeah,” she said and dismounted me, moving to sit next to me on the seat. Neither of us moved; our bodies completely spent.

“Next time we decide to do something like this, we should crack a window. It’s hot as hell in here,” I teased, trying to break the awkward silence settling around us.

She smiled and kissed me. “Next time, it should be outside anyway,”

“Is that a challenge?”

“Only if you want it to be,” she said.

I chuckled and closed my eyes. “Everything in me wants to go to sleep right now,” I murmured. She kissed along my jawline and rested her head on my shoulder.

“There’s no rush to get back home.”

“We’re on the side of the highway, babe. I don’t think we want to fall asleep and have the cops find us in compromising positions.”

“You’re right. Let’s go home then,” she said with a sigh.

“Wait.”

“What?” she asked. The hunger in her eyes made my cock twitch once more. Instead of initiating another passionate session, I smirked at her and pinched her nipple.

“Fix your dress.”

She giggled and shook her head as she readjusted the cups of her dress, holding her hair up so I could tie the halter back up. I fixed my pants and sighed.

“I’m glad we’re not going anywhere else in public. I guess I forgot to drop my pants,” I said, looking down to the wet spot on my crotch and laughed.

“Now you’ll be reminded of me riding you in the truck,” she teased. I shook my head as we settled back into our seats, buckling our seat belts. Once we were situated, I started the truck and eased back onto the road. Ashton looked over at me with a small smile, her warm hand slipping into mine and squeezing. I returned her smile and drove home as we sat hand in hand all the way there.

As soon as we got to the apartment, she kicked off her heels and trudged over to the couch, falling face down into the decorative pillows. I chuckled as I closed and locked the door, walking over to join her.

“I didn’t wear you out, did I?” I asked, coming to a stop next to her.

She groaned into the pillow and flopped onto her back. “It’s been a long night,” she grumbled. Her tired expression melted into shock and guilt when she looked up at me, quickly sitting up. “Your face.”

I touched my cheek and winced a bit, the soreness settling in. “Eh, it’s okay,” I said, sitting on the couch next to her. She jumped to her feet and rushed to the kitchen, returning with an ice pack. Straddling my lap, she gently placed the ice pack on my cheek. “Ash, I’m fine.”

“You’re starting to bruise,” she fussed, caressing my other cheek. I sighed and shook my head.

“I promise you I’m fine. He’ll be hurting a lot more than me in the morning,” I joked. She didn’t return my smile. She kept the ice pack on my sore cheek and continued staring at me with apologetic eyes. “And don’t blame yourself for this either.”

“I didn’t think he’d say something like that. I can’t help but feel as if this was my fault,” she murmured. I gazed into her pretty blue eyes that were filled with guilt and frustration.

Wanting to switch the mood, I wrapped my arms around her waist and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. “We had a good thing going in the truck,” I whispered, kissing her once more. Her beautiful smile finally appeared.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yes, ma’am. I think we should head into the bedroom and…do some things,” I teased.

She licked her lips, a wicked gleam dancing in her eyes. “Mmm…some things like what?”

“Things that’ll help us forget about what happened tonight,” I murmured, kissing along her jaw. “Things that’ll allow me to release the frustration I feel.” I leaned forward and kissed her neck, my hands firmly squeezing her ass. “And last but not least…” I reached down between her legs and circled her clit with my fingers, watching as she shivered. “Things that’ll sate the aching throb between your thighs…things only my cock can soothe.”
