“I think you’re going to need this.”
Jackson picked up the water and handed it to his sister with a stern look before glancing at Drake, who nodded his head. “Of course I can. Drake can go back with the girls and make sure Lex doesn’t have a problem getting my sister into bed safely. What about your car?”
“That’s where I come in,” Char announced, walking back up to us. “Kaylie’s trying to make sure I get plenty of time on Skype with Shane before she makes it back to the dorm. So please, take as long as you’d like to bring her back. Maybe even all night again.”
“Char!” I gasped as I felt a blush creep up my neck and face since she’d basically just announced to the group that Jackson and I had had sex last night.
“Crap! Sorry, Kaylie,” she apologized.
“Oh, please. Like everyone doesn’t know you guys are having sex with the way my brother looks at Kaylie,” Aubrey said.
“Okay, that’s enough out of everyone,” Jackson warned as he leveled the group with a glare. “End of subject.”
“How about I get you two back to your dorm, baby?” Drake asked as he looked down at Lex, who was standing in the crook of his arm, beaming up at him.
“Thanks. I can definitely use the help,” she replied before turning to look at me. “I’m really glad you asked Aubrey to come out. This was a ton of fun. It was nice getting to know you a little bit. I can see why Jackson’s finally dating since he met you.”
She really was very sweet, which kind of made me feel like a bitch for wanting to punch her in the face when I first saw her with Aubrey tonight. Luckily, I had been super nice to cover for being uncomfortable around her at the start of the night so she’d had no clue what was going on in my head at the time. Only Char had noticed because she knows me too well.
“Yeah, I’m glad you both could make it. We’ll definitely have to do it again sometime. Maybe even on a night when Char and I aren’t working so we can all go out and have some fun.”
“Definitely,” Aubrey giggled as Drake and Lex bundled her up and out the door.
“Do you mind waiting while I finish breaking down the bar and cleaning up?” I asked Jackson.
“Not at all, sweetheart. I never mind waiting for you.”
He could be so damn sweet sometimes. “It should only be another thirty minutes or so. I’ll give Char my keys so she can head out and meet you out front when I’m done?”
“Sounds like a plan. I’ll pull the truck up and wait until you’re done.”
I watched his ass when he walked away and couldn’t help but wonder if I had left any marks when I dug my nails into it last night. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as the rest of the customers left the bar and the waiter started to wipe down the tables so he could bail as soon as possible. I needed to get my butt in gear so I could spend some time with Jackson before he dropped me off. I still wanted to know what the deal was with the concerned expression he’d had when he came in tonight.
I found Jackson in his truck parked out front just like he’d said I would. I climbed inside the passenger’s side door and leaned over to give him a quick kiss hello since I hadn’t been able to do it earlier when I was working.
“I missed you today,” I admitted as he pulled me across the cab and into his lap when I tried to pull away after my kiss.
“Fuck, I missed the shit out of you too, Kaylie. I couldn’t get you out of my head all day,” he replied before crashing his lips against mine. His kiss was quick, but he kept me wrapped in his arms when he was done so that he could peer into my eyes.
“I hope you didn’t have to try too hard or have a reason to want me out of your head.”
“No, I really didn’t,” he responded.
“Jackson, what’s wrong?” I asked, a little worried by how serious he seemed.
“I was worried about you.”
“You were?” I was surprised by his response. Sure, we hadn’t seen each other since this morning, but last night had been awesome and everything had seemed okay when he dropped me off at my dorm this morning.
“Yeah. I didn’t realize the girls were going to drop by the bar tonight.”
“I didn’t either, but I’d suggested it to your sister a while back because I thought she and Char would really hit it off,” I explained.
“It was nice of you to invite Aubrey out, but I wasn’t sure how you’d feel about Lex tagging along with her tonight.”
And there it was—time for a difficult conversation. I pulled away from him and moved across the cab of the truck to my seat.
“Yeah, that was a shocker to me, too. And I can’t say it was a nice one at first because it was pretty awkward for me. Could we maybe go somewhere to talk instead of doing this here in the parking lot?”
Jackson heaved a deep sigh and nodded his head. “Of course we can.”
We were both silent during the drive back to campus. Jackson headed straight to the frat house once we got there and parked on the street. He hopped out and came over to open my door for me. Now I was starting to freak out a little because he still had the same worried look on his face. I reached for his hand to squeeze it, needing a little reassurance as we entered the house and went straight up to his room.
I kicked off my shoes, took my coat off, and sat down cross-legged on the end of his bed. Jackson closed and locked the door before he joined me on the bed. He looked down at his hands as I waited for him to say something, anything. My heart dropped to my stomach, fearing that this was going to be really bad. The thought of going from the best night of my relationship with him to possibly the worst within twenty-four hours was a little terrifying.
Jackson finally looked up and started to talk. “I know you’ve heard stuff about my feelings for Lex. Hell, you were there when Sasha accused me of avoiding relationships because I was in love with her. Yet in all the time we’ve been dating, you haven’t asked me about it.”
Since he paused, I took the opportunity to explain. “At first I wondered a little. I’d heard the rumors on campus, and of course I heard everything Sasha had to say when you were fighting. And I was a bit concerned since it seemed pretty damning that you stopped sleeping around when Lex got serious with Drake. But I guess at first I wasn’t sure what exactly was going to happen with us so I didn’t say anything.”
“But it is something that’s been bothering you?”
“I wouldn’t say bother exactly. Yeah, it’s crossed my mind from time to time, but there’s nothing you’ve done since we’ve been together to make me think you’re pining for her or anything like that,” I answered.
“Fuck. The last thing I want to do is have to explain this to you because it’s so damn embarrassing, but you need to know that’s not what’s going on here.”
“Embarrassing?” I asked, not understanding but relieved to hear that this wasn’t going to be the horrible news I’d thought it might be on the way over.
He ran his fingers through his hair in a frustrated gesture. “Some shit went down in her life, and I felt responsible in a way. Things got all confused in my head, and I thought I loved her.”
I didn’t know what to think. His explanation wasn’t making things any clearer, and it sure wasn’t comforting to hear that he used to think he was in love with Lex.
“How can you be wrong about something like that?”
“If you’d asked me that question a couple months ago, I’d have told you there was no fucking way I was wrong about being in love with Lex. Then I watched her fall for Drake, and it stung a bit, but I just wanted her to be happy. During Christmas break, my dad pointed out that, as much as they love Lex, he didn’t think we’d end up together. At first I was pissed, but then he pointed out a few things that make more sense now that I met you. I’m not the world’s most patient guy, right?”
“I don’t know. You’ve been pretty patient with me, Jackson.”
He huffed out a little laugh at that. “Kaylie, I asked you out to dinner pretty much right away and wouldn’
t take no for an answer. I didn’t wait long to kiss you or warn other guys off you. Maybe I was able to hold out a little while before we had sex, but it sure as shit wasn’t without making any moves on you, and I thought about it constantly.”
“I guess when you put it that way you weren’t super patient, but you certainly didn’t pressure me.”
He pulled my hands into his as he continued with his explanation. “But I took action. And with Lex, I never did. No dates. No kisses. No intimate texts or phone calls. No stepping in and trying to win her for myself when Drake came on the scene.”
“So you were just friends the whole time?”
“Yes, and because we were just friends, I felt like it was okay to fuck around. A lot,” he stressed.
“Saying a lot might be an understatement if the rumors are all true.”
He looked at me sheepishly before nodding his head. “Maybe that’s true, but here’s the thing that I never realized until after you and I started dating. If I really was in love with Lex, then I would have done something about it. Because there’s no way I’d just let some guy come in and take you away from me. And if I was that into her, I wouldn’t have messed around with other girls the way I did all that time. I wouldn’t have really noticed them because I’d have been too wrapped up in her to see random chicks that way. Like I am with you.”
“With me?”
“Yes, Kaylie. With you,” he repeated.
“So what are you saying exactly?” I asked.
“I’m saying that you knocked me on my ass, opened my eyes, and made me realize how wrong I had been. With you, I threw all the rules out the window and didn’t look back because there was just no damn way I wasn’t going to date you.”
“And how’s that working out for you so far?”
“That depends. Are you pissed at me because of tonight?” he asked.
“No, Jackson. It was a little weird and uncomfortable, but I liked Lex. And I’m relieved to know that you’re not only spending time with me because she isn’t available,” I said, admitting the concern that had been really bugging me, because I would have been crushed to know that I was just a substitute.
“Hell no, Kaylie. It fucking tears me up inside at the idea that you might have been feeling like that all this time. I’m with you because there isn’t anyone else I want to spend time with more than you,” he reassured me.
“That’s a lucky coincidence since I feel the same way about you.”
“Yeah, lucky is a fucking understatement,” he said.
I crawled closer to him and straddled his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist. “I like being lucky.”
“You know what I like? I’m not sure if you noticed that Aubrey called you my girlfriend tonight,” he pointed out. “But I damn well did, and I liked the sound of it.”
“Does that mean I get to call you my boyfriend?”
“Fuck yeah. Say it again,” he growled, the mood in the room shifting.
“Jackson Silver is my boyfriend,” I said huskily before I leaned down to kiss him on the lips.
That’s all it took for him to take over. His kiss was so hungry, like he couldn’t get enough of me. I could feel his cock hard underneath me, and I started rocking back and forth slowly, craving friction. Jackson lifted me a little so that I was sitting up on my knees and he unzipped my jeans. He slipped his hand inside and rested his fingers on the outside of my panties, just holding them there. I could feel the heat pouring from his skin, making me so wet.
I wiggled a little to try to get him to move his hand, but he reached out with the other one to grip my hip and hold me in place. When I stilled, he started to slide my jeans down my legs and nudged me up so he could get them off. Once done, he moved me back onto my knees and slid his hands up the insides of my thighs toward my pussy. He pulled my panties aside and quickly thrust a finger inside me. I moaned as he slowly slid it back out and in over and over again. He added another finger, stretching me more. He fingered me with teasing thrusts, removing them and circling my pussy but never touching my clit before sliding them back inside.
“Look at my girlfriend,” Jackson said. “So fucking wet for me.”
He gently pushed against my chest so that I lay back on the bed, his fingers still inside me.
“Please, Jackson,” I moaned as I tightened my legs to create more friction.
Jackson bent his head and gently kissed my clit. The contrast of his soft tongue and his fingers’ hard thrusts made me shudder. Then he licked my slit slowly and pushed his tongue inside the next time he removed his fingers. I took a deep breath when he started to rotate between fingering me, nipping at my clit, and slowly licking down my slit and inside. I clenched my eyes shut, desperate to climax. I was so close and just needed a little something more. Jackson gave it to me on the next thrust of his fingers when he shoved three inside and sucked my clit into his mouth at the same time, sending me over the edge.
“That’s what I’ve wanted to see all day long. The look on your face as I am bringing you pleasure. I fucking love that I can drive you crazy,” he murmured as he wiped his mouth on his arm. “It’s so hot to watch.”
“So are you,” I whispered as I climbed onto my knees and pushed on his chest. I took a moment to admire him lying there before going after his zipper so that I could get him naked. “Take off your shirt for me,” I said while I was tugging his jeans down his legs along with his boxers. I needed him naked so that I could get a taste of him. I hadn’t really gotten the chance to explore his body last night, and I wanted my turn now.
I kissed his chest and flicked his nipples with my tongue before I moved farther down his ripped abdomen. I trailed my tongue along his six-pack as I ran my fingernails up his thighs, stopping to dig them into his skin a few times because his hips jumped each time I did it. It didn’t take long for me to reach his cock, and I licked the tip to taste the pre-cum that had been glistening there.
“Mmmmm,” I hummed as I sucked him into my mouth.
“Yes, sweetheart. Just like that,” he murmured before gripping my hair in his hands and holding me in place so he could thrust into my mouth. “Such a good girl, sucking me deep just like I’ve thought about you doing.”
I flicked my tongue over the tip of his cock each time he pulled out and swirled it around when he pushed back inside. With each thrust, he went a little deeper into my mouth. He’d taken control of my blowjob, basically fucking my face now, and I loved it. I wanted to see him as I pushed him over the edge, and I could tell he was getting closer and closer each time he left my mouth and I tasted more pre-cum. I started to play with his balls, rolling them in my hand and gently squeezing. His eyes popped open and burned brightly on me as he watched his cock, slick with my saliva, moving in and out of my mouth.
At the next thrust, I sucked as hard as I could, not wanting to let go. Instead of pulling out, he pumped his hips in small bursts a few times before warning me. “I’m gonna come, sweetheart.”
He let go of my hair, giving me a chance to pull away. I didn’t though. I sucked him as deep into my mouth as I could get him before he started to go off. I felt him ejaculate deep into my throat and waited for him to finish before pulling back to swallow. He was staring at me with a satisfied look on his face when I licked my lips.
“Mmmmm. Turnabout is fair play.”
Jackson pulled me down so that I was lying on top of him. “Stay the night.”
“I really wish I could, but I should go back to the dorm at some point.”
“I’ll make it worth your while,” he offered.
“I’m sure you would, but that doesn’t change what I need to do. And if I stay with you, we’re going to have sex again, but I need a little recovery time. I can still feel you inside.”
Jackson looked at me with concern. “Damn, did I hurt you?”
“No, I’m not in pain exactly. It’s just a little uncomfortable because it’s been a while for me.”
“Fuck, I should have made you take a
bath at the cabin. It would have helped, and I can’t do that for you here.”
“Jackson, really. I’m fine. I promise,” I murmured.
We lay there together for a little while until I felt myself starting to drift asleep. I jerked awake, and Jackson must have felt the movement.
“I guess I’d better get you back unless I can talk you into staying.”
He looked so comfortable, and it felt good to rest in his arms. So I relented. “I guess it would be okay if you just take me back early in the morning.”
Chapter 14
Jackson
Waking up with Kaylie in my bed quickly became an addiction I had no intention of kicking. There wasn’t a week that went by over the next few months where we didn’t sleep together most of the time. It got to the point where I couldn’t sleep as well when she wasn’t with me since I was so used to holding her in my arms. For a guy who used to be known for kicking girls out the minute the fun was over, I’d sure as shit gotten used to the boyfriend role pretty damn quickly. It was ironic how little effort it had taken on Kaylie’s part to hook me so completely.
It seemed like people on campus had finally gotten used to Kaylie and me as a couple. The guys at my frat took to her being around right away—not that I would have paid any attention if they’d had a problem with her. They did rib the shit out of me for being pussy-whipped all the time though. And my sister was fucking thrilled that I was with Kaylie. She probably would have been happy that I was dating just about anyone, but she was over the moon that I’d ended up with someone she liked. They’d gotten closer, and it was nice to see the women in my life getting along so well. I loved my sister, but she could be hell on wheels sometimes, and there was always the chance that she would have made things difficult if she’d hated the girl I was dating. Instead, I figured she’d give me hell at this point if I fucked things up with Kaylie.
