“No,” I gasped. He circled my areola.
“No?” He squeezed my clit as hard as he could, and my head flew up.
I cried out.
“Louder.” He flicked my nipple and bit down on the back of my neck.
I screamed. I tried so hard, but I couldn’t fight that feeling, or the wave pounding through me. It came in quick bursts, a flash, a jolt, and then a shockwave of raw energy that tore out, and seemed to hover over my body as it ate through and traveled down into my core.
When he pulled out, he ducked down to hand me my clothes.
“Thanks,” I said. I turned around to grab them and started getting dressed. His face was bright red, and sweat ran down his forehead.
“Are you free tomorrow?” he asked.
“Of course; are you inviting me over?”
“No, I’m demanding that you come to my house and take your clothes off the second you walk through the door.”
“I could just show up naked. It would save me some time.”
“No, it would take all the fun out of things.”
“Do you think they heard us?” I asked when I pulled on my pants.
“Let’s go find out.” He pulled his pants on and led me out into the hall. All I could hear was the sound of the TV in the living room, and people talking outside. The guys barely noticed when we walked out, and one swung his head so he could see what was happening when we passed the TV. Jake winked at me before we walked outside.
Chapter 13
Jake
I felt like I’d crossed a barrier between dirty and perverted. This was the first time I’d ever acted out sexually when my family was around. Normally, just the thought of Elizabeth sitting in the next room was enough to keep me limp for at least 12 hours straight, but that wasn’t the case when I was around Maria.
I’d never seen a woman that could drive me wild like she did. It wasn’t about the way she looked. It was her essence—the way she moved, the sound of her voice. I could already feel the urge growing inside me when we walked outside.
Andrew was passing out plates of food, and everyone was sitting around talking and eating. They’d lit up the fire pit and formed a circle of chairs around it. Maria took a seat while I filled our plates up. “You really have something special, don’t you?” Andrew rested his hand on my shoulder and motioned to Maria, who was looking back at me.
“I don’t know. I guess finding out is half the fun.”
“You just don’t know when a girl is giving you the look. She likes you.”
“You think so?” I asked.
“You like her, too. I can see it. I’m proud of you, man. I don’t know why you felt like you had to hide her from us.”
“Because I don’t like the scrutiny, and your wife is giving it her all. A few more hours and she’ll have Maria convinced that I’m a baby killer.”
“She’ll come around,” Andrew said.
Maria and Elizabeth still talked to each other. I didn’t know what to make of it. I knew Andrew’s wife would find some way to get me into trouble, but they were occupied with Haylie, who seemed to think Maria was a fairy princess judging by the way she latched onto her.
The day got later. The football game was over, and the food was closer to being finished. I chanced a look back into the kitchen. There were four kinds of meat, six different mayonnaise salads, and every kind of chip and soda imaginable.
Eventu
ally, Elizabeth backed off Maria, which was a relief, but Maddie sat at the table now, brooding. It was only a matter of time before she said something or did something to bother Maria. I thought I’d take a chance and sit with Maria to scare Maddie away. When I got close, Maddie sighed and stormed off, just like I’d hoped.
“Don’t worry about her,” I said, sitting down next to Maria. “She’s harmless.”
