Hal seemed to notice, for he withdrew from her breasts to look down her body at her frantically moving hips. Jesse blushed, a little embarrassed, but she looked up at Hal longingly, hoping he would make a motion to avert his attentions. Hal looked up into her face and raised his brow, and she bit her lip.
Hal looked back down at her panties, and he slid his hands to her hips, dipping his fingers beneath the waistband. Jesse clenched her teeth at the shocks of sensation that came from his fingers brushing against her skin.
Jesse watched wordlessly, her breathing coming quickly as he dragged the garment down her legs, completely revealing her to him. He flicked the panties onto the floor and looked into her eyes for a moment before focusing his attention on her sex.
Jesse jerked and let out a soft moan as Hal pressed his hands between her thighs and gently spread them so that they were on either side of his own so that he was situated between her legs with a clear view of her sex. Jesse watched his face carefully as he looked at her womanhood, and she blushed as she saw heat flash in his eyes.
He looked back up into her face, and Jesse whimpered as she felt him drag the flat of his hands up her inner thighs, bringing them up high enough so that his thumbs were tracing along her outer folds. Jesse shuddered and arched her hips at the sensation, flexing them into his hands as he gently stroked at her.
Even as good as his gentle touches felt, though, Jesse yearned for more. She dug her fingers into the material of the couch beneath her as he teased at her. She wondered how much longer he intended to keep this up.
It was not long until she got her answer.
Hal moved one of his hands to press into her lower stomach, holding her hips perfectly still under his palm. He glanced up at her, and Jesse looked into his eyes, gasping as she felt him slowly run the tip of a finger along her dripping slit. Jesse whimpered as he dragged it all the way up to her clit, which he circled a few times, sending Jesse into a world of acute, though still teasing pleasure. Jesse’s eyes drifted closed, and the muscles of her hips flexed against his firm hold on her.
Chapter 50
He tormented her that way for what felt like hours, just running the tips of his fingers against her entrance but never moving past, every now and then teasing at her clit. He used his thumb to pull back the hood of her swollen nub and moved the pad of his finger in a tiny circle, pressing down harder than before.
“Hal!” Jesse cried out in a sob. The sensation was intense, overwhelming, and raw, and it had her head spinning.
In a desperate move, Jesse reached between her legs as if to take hold of Hal’s wrist, but before he could even get close, Hal’s hand that had been bracing her hips snatched up both her hands and pinned them easily above her head.
Jesse squirmed and whimpered in protest but grew silent when Hal lowered his face mere inches above hers. She felt him begin to palm her clit, and she closed her eyes as she arched her hips up into his hand. She released a soft, shaking sigh as she was overcome with the dull pleasure.
“Jesse,” she heard Hal’s voice, and her eyes flickered open to look up at him.
His eyes were filled with burning brightness, and he seemed more excited than anything else. She thought she could hear his breath catch in his throat, but Jesse could hardly hear it past her own ragged breathing as he continued to rub at her sex.
Jesse kept her eye contact with him, but the sensations that had so recently been pleasurable had turned torturous. He seemed to be keeping her just on the edge of her climax. She shifted every way possible beneath his touch to try and push herself over, but there just wasn’t enough pressure to get the job done. She was becoming desperate and flustered, and soon, she knew she could no longer take it in silence.
“Hal, please …” she whimpered, bucking up her hips into his palm as he mercilessly maintained his maddening pace.
“Please what?” he pressed, and as she looked up into his face, she saw mischief glistening in his eyes. He was doing this to her on purpose. The thought both agonized and excited her.
“Hal I- I …” Jesse stammered, flushing furiously at the thought of putting her need into words. Hal raised his eyebrow at her, a smirk lifting the corner of his mouth.
“I need to finish,” Jesse blurted out in a breath and moaned as Hal pressed his palm harder against her.
“Do you?” Hal murmured, and Jesse groaned as he removed his hand from her sex, and he looked down at her.
Soon, he resumed tracing his fingers along her slit, and Jesse let her head fall back against the couch. She jumped as he again pulled back the hood of her clit and circled his finger over it. Jesse let out a high keen at the sensation and felt tears in her eyes.
“Ah … please …” Jesse squeaked out as she felt her inner walls begin to twitch with the shadow of an orgasm that was not quite yet upon her.
Jesse heard Hal chuckle, and she was both parts grateful and disappointed as Hal diverted his finger from her clit to once again trace along her entrance.
“Jesse,” Hal spoke, and Jesse barely managed to crack her eyes open to see that his face was hovering just above her own.
No sooner than her eyes opened, he pressed a soft kiss to her lips.
And no sooner that he kissed her than Jesse cried out into his mouth at the sensation of one of his fingers slipping inside of her.
Jesse immediately let loose an incoherent stream of pleas and cries of pleasure as he gently pumped his finger in and out of her. He started slow and gradually increased his pace. At some point, he slid a second finger beside the first, deliciously stretching her and enhancing her pleasure.
Jesse felt tears streaming down her face, and she couldn’t control herself as searched up into his hand. With his other hand, he was still gripping her wrists, and she felt delightfully helpless stretched out beneath him.
Jesse felt him move and heard him growl as his lips attached themselves to her neck, and she cried out as his teeth grazed her neck. He licked and bit a line up the side of her neck until he was finally sucking on her earlobe. Jesse could barely stand it, and she continued to murmur out her senseless words of longing.
“Are you getting close?” Hal whispered into her ear.
“Yes!” Jesse cried out, her voice strained. She could feel her inner walls beginning to twitch.
“Good,” Hal hissed into her ear, biting down on it.
With that, he also pressed his thumb into her clit, and Jesse screamed as he continued to thrust into her as she lost herself in her orgasm, the waves of pleasure washing over her endlessly as Hal continued to minister to her. Jesse felt tears streaming from her eyes, and she panted and cried out as her pleasure reached a new level of intensity and a second orgasm was torn from her, leaving her trembling and whimpering.
Hal eased up and gently brought her down from her second peak, softly withdrawing his hand from her. Jesse breathed raggedly as her eyes began to refocus, and she shivered at the coolness of the air. Hal reached behind him, took up a blanket that was draped over the arm of the couch and gently laid it out over her.
Feeling warm and satisfied, Jesse began to drift off into sleep. She felt Hal curl himself around her and hold her closely from the outside of the blanket. He soothingly petted her head and placed kisses along the back of her neck. Jesse felt the soft throbbing of her sex from the aftermath of her orgasm, and she suddenly felt a rush of guilt as she realized Hal had gone entirely neglected.
“Hal, I’m so sorry,” Jesse turned to look up at him. “I completely forgot …”
“Jess,” Hal said simply, smiling down at her gently. “Relax. I’m fine.”
As he spoke, he gently ran his hand up and down her side, soothing her and sending her toward sleep.
Jesse’s eyelids grew heavy, and she released a contented sound as she relaxed against Hal’s body.
The last thing she felt before falling to sleep was him pressing a soft kiss to her cheek.
Chapter 51
Jesse
Jesse’s e
yelids slowly flicked open, and as her vision swam into focus, she frowned. She was certainly not in her own bed. It took her a moment to gather where exactly she was, and she blushed as she remembered the events that had transpired the previous night.
She only blushed more fiercely as she realized that she was still naked under the soft blue blanket that was covering her.
Jesse wrapped the blanket around herself securely as she moved to sit up and look around the room. The first thing she noticed was the simple fact that Hal was nowhere to be found. She listened carefully to try and see if he was simply in another room of his home, but she couldn’t hear anything except her own breathing. She frowned and sighed, feeling slightly afraid of being alone.
The next thing she noticed as she looked around the room was that her dress was missing. She stood up, holding the blanket to her chest, and walked around to the other side of the couch in search of her clothes. She still couldn’t seem to find them, and she sighed in frustration as she searched around the rest of the room, aimlessly looking under the couches and the coffee table for her missing dress and panties.
“Well, good morning …” Jesse blushed and shot bolt upright. She had been bent over checking underneath a chair for her clothes, completely revealing her naked behind when she heard Hal’s voice.
“Good morning,” Jesse said as she spun around, reaching behind her body with one hand to hold up the blanket and conceal as much of her skin as possible. She could see the amused smile twinkling in Hal’s eyes as he leaned against the doorframe, easily watching her.
“Are you looking for this?” he asked, and from behind his back he pulled her dress, hung neatly on a hanger.
Jesse felt relief pass over her body.
“Yes,” she said, releasing a pent-up breath as she approached him to take her dress back.
As she neared him, though, Hal lunged suddenly forward, and Jesse released a soft yelp as he crushed her body to his in a tight embrace. He chuckled as he lowered his face to hers and covered her lips in a soft kiss. Jesse fairly melted into him as she returned his kiss, though she tightened her grip on the blanket covering her so it didn’t slip off.
Hal pulled back from their kiss and looked down at her, a soft smile on his face. Jesse found herself getting lost in his eyes, and she blushed, feeling warmth spread through her body. She finally dropped her head, focusing on the carpet beneath their feet.
“Here,” Hal said softly, holding out her dress on the hanger, which Jesse took, tentatively releasing the blanket from behind her.
“I thought you might like it to be clean before you put it back on,” Hal explained. “Oh, and these, too.”
Jesse’s eyes widened as he withdrew her panties from the pocket of his pants. She noticed that he had changed into a pair of fresh jeans and a white tee. She blinked to clear her head of thoughts of his appearance, then,
“Thank you,” Jesse said, giving him a smile.
“Of course,” Hal smiled down at her. “I’ll just step out and give you a moment to change.”
“Wait!” Jesse spoke up, feeling somewhat embarrassed. “I actually … can you take me to the restroom?”
Hal’s face was blank for a moment before he shook his head as if to focus.
“Yeah, sure,” Hal said, turning to hold open his arms, directing her down the hallway. “It’s the second door down to the left.”
“Thanks,” Jesse said, ducking her face as she passed him and headed in the direction he had indicated. She made it to the bathroom and leaned back against the door as it closed behind her.
Jesse’s mind was spinning, and she could hardly believe the events that had led to this moment. She wandered around the bathroom taking care of her business. She allowed the blanket to pool on the floor, and she looked at for a moment.
Jesse glanced around the bathroom, noticing for the first time exactly how modern it was. The sink stretched all along one wall, and on the other was situated a very large shower with a glass barrier dividing it from the rest of the room. Along the third wall, opposite the door was the toilet and a large towel rack. The whole color scheme of the room was gray tile, and the sink and shower featured black marble.
Suddenly, Jesse felt the urge to take a shower. She moved over into the large shower and turned on the water, which began to pour from the back half of the shower like rain. She noticed there was also a removable shower head in the front half of the shower. A dial was available to alter the water pressure to the desired level.
Jesse stepped into the rainfall section of the shower once the water temperature was to her liking and allowed it to completely wet her hair and body before she stepped into the dry half and began to lather her hair with a mint scented shampoo that was one of many on the shelf built into the wall of the shower.
Jesse felt warmth in her stomach knowing that this was Hal’s shower she was using. She vaguely let her mind wander and couldn’t help imagining him in the shower with her. No sooner than the thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it. She had already gone much farther than she had intended to, and she didn’t need scandalous thoughts to drive things into overdrive any more than they already had been.
Jesse finished up her shower and dried her feet on the mat before she crossed the room to the towel rack and wrapped her hair in a fluffy, dark green towel. She dried off her body and then wrapped up her hair. She looked along the rack and quickly found a mint scented lotion that matched the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that she had used.
She applied the fragrant lotion to her skin, and when she was done, she slipped on her freshly laundered panties and her dress. Looking along the sink for some deodorant, Jesse made use of it. She felt vaguely giddy to be using all of Hal’s things and ending up smelling like him.
Jesse shook her head to focus and let her hair down from the towel turban. She used a comb she found in one of the drawers to untangle her wet hair and then proceeded to style it into a long braid. She frowned that she had no makeup to wear, but she realized there was nothing to be done about it. So, she took a calming breath and gathered the blanket from the floor and opened the door to leave.
Jesse made her way back into the living room and found Hal seated on the couch. He looked up as she came in and gave her a smile.
“Thanks for letting me use your shower,” Jesse said with a soft blush and a small smile as she began to fold up the blanket that had served as her clothing for the night.
“Of course,” Hal said with a soft chuckle. “You’re welcome to use it anytime. That’s the guest bathroom anyway.”
Jesse blinked. If that was his guest bathroom, who knew what the master bathroom was like … she blinked repeatedly to clear her head.
When she was done, she laid the blanket out over the arm of the couch and then sat down beside Hal. He leaned in slowly, placed a soft kiss on her cheek and ran his hand over her damp hair.
“You smell nice,” Hal remarked as he leaned back.
“Thanks.” Jesse laughed. “You have good taste in beauty products.”
Hal laughed and smiled down at her.
“Well, you can thank Liza,” Hal said, turning sideways on the couch so he could face her. “She helped with a lot of the basic stocking of the place.”
“Oh,” Jesse said softly, almost disappointed by the news.
“Maybe you can tell me what you like to use,” Hal suggested softly. “And I can have the bathrooms stocked with it in case you ever end up staying over again …”
Jesse looked up at him and laughed nervously at the implication.
“Sorry about that …” Jesse said. “I guess I got caught up in the moment, and I just got really tired all of a sudden. I know I should have just gone home …”
“Jess,” Hal stopped her, placing his hand on her thigh. “Don’t apologize. I’m not sorry, anyway. I had a great time with you. If anything, I hope I didn’t push you too far, too fast. I know I told you we would take it slow, and I hope you didn’t feel overwhelmed with anyth
ing we did.”
Jesse took in a shuddering breath and felt a shiver as she remembered the feeling of his hands on her most intimate places.
“No, no …” Jesse shook her head, blinking as she tried to organize her thoughts. “I … I really enjoyed it, and … thank you. I never would have been able to initiate anything like that myself so … I’m glad you did it …”
Hal looked down at her seriously and searched her face for a moment.
“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself,” he said, his expression somber. “I would hate to think that I pressed you into anything that you didn’t enjoy or want.”
Jesse could see the sincerity in his eyes and hear it in his voice. She could tell that he really meant what he was saying, and it touched her that he cared about her enough to say anything like that.
“That means a lot to me,” Jesse said softly. She drew closer to where he sat on the couch, leaned up, and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. He kissed her back, his hands moving to tenderly cup her face.
Jesse pulled back, and Hal looked down at her, an easy smile on his face.
“Well, while you’re still unemployed and before you get too busy with a spectacular career,” Hal started, running his hand through his hair. “I was wondering if you’d like to spend a day with me.”
“Oh,” Jesse blinked, somewhat taken by surprise.
“You can always say no, of course,” Hal explained, offering her a shrug.
“Oh no,” Jesse quickly shook her head. “I mean I would love to. It’s just I worry that I would be keeping you from doing things you need to do.”
Hal frowned down at her.
“Things I need to do?” he repeated to her.
Jesse nodded.
“Yeah, like …” Jesse gesticulated with her hands and shook her head as she tried to think of things he could be doing. “I don’t know. You’re famous … isn’t there an interview you have to give or some fancy dinner you have to attend?”
