I wouldn’t last this long if I were him.
I’m also not close to coming, so I give his chest a push, wanting and needing to be on top. When I was younger, I once read a magazine article about the statistics of the female orgasm, and seventy-five percent of women can only orgasm on top.
All right, I probably made that up, but the number is high, and I, for one, am among that percentage of girls who can’t climax on the bottom. That I’m aware of.
Jackson stops. “Is everything okay?”
“Yes. But…” I hesitate. “Can I be on top?”
His beautiful blue eyes widen and he rolls, taking me along for the ride, our bodies still connected.
Whoa. I’ve only seen that done in the movies.
Sexy.
“Scoot up closer to the headboard,” I tell him bossily.
“Yes ma’am.”
I sit up, arching my back, leaning forward a bit, hands grabbing hold of the headboard. It’s wooden, an inch or two from the wall, and easy to grip.
Finding my rhythm, I ease back and forth over his body, pelvis automatically grinding into his. Watching as he lies there, looking up at me with a look of wonder on his face, the nonverbals playing over his eyes and mouth in flashes.
Jackson’s lips part when I rotate my hips in circles, hands pressed against the headboard. Bearing down. Operating solely on instinct, I try to pretend I know what I’m doing when in reality, I don’t. He might be the virgin, but it’s not like I have all that much more experience.
Plus, he’s athletic and I’m not—as if that makes a difference? Shouldn’t he just be naturally good at everything physical while the rest of us mere mortals have to work at it?
With me on top, he’s buried to the hilt—thick and deep, and I moan because the sensation is…incredible.
“Charlotte. Fuck, Charlotte,” he moans, because really, are any other words necessary? Is there anything else to say?
“You feel so good, baby,” I murmur above him, lost in him. Lost in us. Lost in the fact that I love him. “Are you gonna come?”
“Yes.” His nod is jerky. “I think so.”
He thinks so, he thinks so. He’s not sure since he hasn’t done it before and that fills me with a strange sense of pride. A sense of satisfaction that no other girls have come before me.
I am his first and always will be.
A Gameday
Jackson
“J, your dad is downstairs in the kitchen.”
My what? Did I hear Tyson right?
He gives a knock, sticking his head through the open door, peering down at Charlie and me as we lie on the bed. I’m beat; we just had a game against Penn State—which we lost—and the ice bath did nothing for my sore muscles. I ache, I’m tired, I’m hungry.
Still, I raise myself to a sitting position, running a hand down Charlie’s slumbering thigh.
“Your dad, in the kitchen?”
“My dad is here?” That’s freaking weird. What’s my old man doing here? He never said anything about coming to the game.
“I mean, yeah? Looks like you but way angrier?”
Yeah—that’s Pops all right.
Shit.
I scoot to the edge of the bed and stand, pulling on my discarded Iowa t-shirt, grateful the bastard didn’t come into my room unannounced. The last thing I fuckin’ need is him walkin’ in on me with a girl in my room. He would absolutely lose his shit.
Bending, I kiss Charlie on the temple and she rolls, half naked in my direction, cracking an eyelid. It’s the third time this week she’s spent the night, and I’ve lost count of the times we’ve fucked.
I kiss her again.
“Wait here, I’ll be back.”
Her smile is groggy, her little wave sleepy. Her hand flops up then back down on the mattress, and I give her one last glance before slipping through the door and closing it softly behind me.
Hit the stairs, making my way to the kitchen.
My father is standing by the sink, staring out the window, out at the street, hands on his hips. He looks more like a drill sergeant than someone’s father, brisk and at attention. All business and no pleasure.
“Pops. What are you doing here?”
He makes no move to hug me.
“Came to see your game against Penn.” He turns, pulls a chair out from the table, and sits, legs spread, thick arms folded across a chest that used to be as broad as mine. Years of not going to the gym and eating crap have worked against him, adding about thirty extra pounds and loads of pent-up resentment.
Pops always wanted to play ball; just never had what it took. If he did, he’d still be in shape instead of a burnout living vicariously through his son.
I lean against the counter.
“What’d you think?”
“I think you should have won.” He plucks a grape from a bowl in the center of the table, the fruit Rodrigo’s sister brought when she got here this morning to tailgate with her friends.
