I kiss the back of Avery’s head and she nuzzles her ass against my cock. My heart is still racing, and I can feel hers doing the same. Wrapping my arms around her naked body, I kiss her shoulder and then the back of her neck. “I love you.”
She lets out a sigh. “I love you too.”
Still in my arms, she turns, leaning her forehead against my chin. While the sex was hot like it always is, I could tell she was distracted. I’m not a hundred percent sure about what, though. Usually, she’s totally into it, but it was different this time. Which makes me a little nervous. Does she know what Jude wants to tell me?
Tilting my chin up, I move her face back with only my chin as she laughs. “Jace! I hate when—” But she’s cut off when my chin goes into her mouth. Moving her head, she glowers. “—you do that. It’s weird. Like you have no hands or something.”
I grip her ass and she laughs. “Oh, I have hands. But hush, I want to look at you before you leave me for a couple days.”
She looks sad as her gaze falls to my nose. “I don’t want to go. Especially since you’ll be seeing an ex all weekend.”
I raise an eyebrow. “Don’t trust me?”
“Whatever. You know I do. I just don’t trust her, she looks slutty.”
I shrug. “Eh, not really.”
She gives me a dull look. “Jace, her profile pic is her with a bra on, pushing her breasts up. I can guarantee you more than half the men on her friends list don’t even know her.”
I grin as I think about the picture. “She was fun.”
She shudders. “I might need to go make sure I don’t have any STDS.”
“Drama queen.”
“Ha, don’t hate ’cause I want to be safe.”
“Um, my cock is one hundred percent clean. I was taught well: Don’t be a fool, wrap your tool.”
She eyes me. “While I appreciate your vow of cleanliness, I’m really impressed that you can still surprise me with your corniness.”
“Hey!”
She kisses the side of my mouth as I cuddle against her, our breathing falling into the same rhythm. Her fingers slide up the back of my head and I melt against her. Closing my eyes, I whisper, “You have nothing to worry about.”
“I better not,” she warns and my mouth curves up.
“I better not either,” I grin back and she’s the one scoffing this time.
“Please, don’t be silly.”
Opening my eyes, I shoot her a serious look, which causes her to dissolve into laughter. Rolling her eyes, she presses her nose to mine and I look deep into those beautiful eyes of hers. I have nothing to worry about, and I know it. This girl is mine. All mine. But, there is still a bad feeling in my gut about what Jude has to tell me. I don’t know what it is, and that scares me.
When her eyes turn from happy to serious, I forget about Jude and my brow rises as her lip goes between her teeth. “What?”
She shrugs. “Can I be honest?”
I nod. “Of course… Wait, was the sex not good? Don’t tell me the sex wasn’t good.”
She sputters with laughter, her eyes rolling to the back of her head. Looking at me with an amused expression, she says, “Really, Jace? No, not that, dork. But, I do think you went too hard ’cause I feel sick. Or maybe it was the ice cream?”
I give her a knowing look. “You did eat three scoops and then the rest of my mine. You were basically the growing dude who plays hockey today, and I was the small, not strong, guitar-playing girl.”
She glares. “Hey, I’m strong. My guitar is heavy.”
“Oh, of course,” I say quickly, my eyes dancing, and she laughs.
“Shut up! I was hungry, but now I regret my choices.”
