She gasps and puts her hand to my chest. “Jason, is that what that was? You get me all hot and bothered and then you leave for payback?”
She’s struggling in my lap, and I'm losing her. “Stop. Olivia, listen to me.”
She’s huffing and puffing in my lap, but I’m not letting her go. “Did you come last night?”
She’s snarky. “You know I did. It was all over your chin, you jackass.”
I lick my lips and laugh. Hell yeah it was. “Right, so don’t act like I didn’t deliver. I wouldn’t just leave you unsatisfied. And no, it wasn’t any kind of payback.”
She interrupts me with a huff. “Then why did you leave?”
“Sit on my lap.”
She huffs again. “I am on your lap.”
I shake my head. “No, sit the way I like you to sit. Put your pussy right here, Olivia.”
I cup my cock through my jeans. She’s done all kinds of thrashing, and I’m fully erect just from having her here.
She moves herself around until she’s straddling my lap. She’s not where I want her, though, and I grab onto her hips, dragging her up my thighs until the sweet juncture of her thighs is pressed against the bulge in my jeans.
I grunt on contact. “Yeah, right there.”
“Jason.” She moans my name, and I shake my head, forcing myself to get it together.
“Olivia, right, so you asked me why I don’t want you. Well, I think it’s obvious I do.” I lift my hips, pressing my manhood against her pussy to show her.
Her hands tighten on my shoulders. “Okay, so why did you leave then?”
“Because you don’t want anything serious.”
She leans against me. “Wait, what? You didn’t stay and have sex with me because I don’t want anything serious?”
I nod. “Yes, that’s right.”
She’s gripping my shoulders now, and her voice is tense. “But… I don’t understand.”
I lean forward until we’re cheek to cheek and I’m whispering in her ear. “Because I know if we make love, I’d want more, Liv. I wouldn’t want to let you go.”
“But…” She starts and stops, and I can feel her tense up in my arms.
I soothe my hands down her back. “Liv, I’m not asking you to marry me or anything permanent. I have too many unknowns in my life to burden you with all that. But I do know if we make love, I don’t just want one night with you. I want us to date and to see each other. No promises… we’re just seeing where it goes.”
I’m holding my breath, waiting for her response. “I can do that,” she says.
“You sure? I don’t want to rush you…”
She kisses my earlobe and then whispers in my ear, “Jason, I don’t usually make it to the second date. This is our third.”
I pull back roughly. “I haven’t even taken you out on a real date.”
She laughs. “I don’t know, our first two were pretty epic, and this third one is shaping up pretty nicely too.”
“Olivia,” I admonish her because I know she’s trying to change the subject.
CHAPTER 20
OLIVIA
I know he’s serious. I freaked all last night and today for nothing. He does want me… he just wants more.
I’m silent for too long, and he grips my waist. “Talk to me, Liv.”
“I can do it.”
He freezes and then rests his chin on my shoulder. “You can do what exactly?”
“I can date you and see where this goes.”
He’s not satisfied though. “And…”
“And… I won’t run. No more running. If I freak out or get overwhelmed, I’ll talk to you about it.”
He lets out a sigh, and I swear I can feel his body react. He was seriously worried. “Okay,” he says.
I laugh. “Okay? That’s all you have to say?”
He laughs too. “I’m relieved. I thought for sure if you knew what I was thinking or how I was feeling, you’d freak out on me. I couldn’t resist you last night.”
“About last night—” I start.
His voice is gruff, and I know he’s thinking about what we did. “What about it?”
“I liked it, but…”
He pulls back and cups my chin. “But what?”
I shrug my shoulders. “But you didn’t kiss me, Jason.”
He laughs. “Oh, I kissed you for sure.”
I playfully smack his shoulder. “Not there. I mean, you didn’t kiss me… on the lips.”
“I knew if I did, I wouldn’t leave.”
Emotion rolls through me. With anyone else, I’d say he was full of crap, but I know what he’s saying. That kiss was something else the other night. “Okay, so what about now? Will you kiss me now?”
“Fuck. I’d love to.”
He presses his lips to mine, and it’s all-consuming. There’s no working our way into it. It’s like the need and the desire has been there, and now we’re just stoking the fire. His hands are on each side of my face, tilting my head to give him better access and to deepen the kiss. My hands are everywhere, and when I reach for him this time, he doesn’t try and stop me. I’m pulling at the hem of his shirt, and when I get it up his chest, he raises his arms to help me take it off.
