“I made sure not to wear lipstick, hoping you would.” She winked.
“Well, your lips are pretty damn red right now. I did a number on them.”
We continued to stare at each other, wanting more than we could have right now, knowing Hailey could come out at any minute.
Her soft, fair skin was begging to be bitten again. My inability to focus on anything tonight besides touching and kissing her was eye opening. It was like now that I’d given myself permission to touch her, I couldn’t keep my hands off. Maybe it was a good thing Hailey was with us tonight. We might have taken things too far. Or at least I would have tried to.
I was just about to steal one more kiss when Hailey’s bedroom door opened, demonstrating that we were only ever just seconds away from getting caught.Chapter 28* * *ElodieMy lips were still sore from our closet kiss. Hollis was so hot for me tonight—it was driving me absolutely insane.
“Can we make popcorn?” Hailey asked.
“What’s a movie without popcorn?” I smiled. “I’ll get it started.”
A few minutes later, Hailey shut off the lights in the living room. I placed the gigantic bowl of popcorn in my lap. Hailey sat on one side of me. It surprised me that Hollis chose to sit on the other side of me rather than next to Hailey. That might have made her suspicious. But honestly, I was glad he’d taken the risk. If I couldn’t touch him and kiss him tonight, I at least wanted to be near him.
The side of his leg was right up against mine. The heat from his body penetrated my clothing. I could feel his desire without him having to say or do anything beyond this subtle contact.
I was dying inside, wishing he could just take me to his room and ravage me. I tried to focus on the movie, but it was hard when all I could think about was when I’d get to feel his mouth on me again.
Our hands brushed against each other in the popcorn bowl. From time to time, I’d catch him looking at me instead of the movie. And I could feel him slowly inching closer to me, if that was even possible. I knew neither of us was really focused on the television.
Hailey suddenly stood up. “Can you pause it so I can go pee?”
“Sure,” Hollis said as he grabbed the remote. His eyes followed her down the hall.
When the bathroom door shut, Hollis placed his hand on my thigh and nudged me toward him as he enveloped my mouth in his. He groaned into my lips, the sound of starvation satisfied. His tongue against mine made the muscles between my legs contract.
In the distance, the toilet flushed. He ripped himself away from me before grabbing a throw pillow and placing it over his crotch. He laid his head back as if nothing had happened and tried to act casual as Hailey returned to her spot.
She plopped down on the couch. “Okay. Press play.”
Hollis did as she asked. We went back to watching the movie as if he hadn’t just rocked my world with those ten seconds of fucking my mouth with his tongue. I seriously wanted to escape to the bathroom and relieve the ache between my legs. It wasn’t going to be satisfied any other way tonight, because as soon as this movie ended, Hollis would have to drive me home. I wondered if the batteries in my vibrator still worked. I hadn’t used my little friend for some time, but tonight I might need it.
When the movie ended, Hailey turned to me.
“It’s kind of dumb for us to take you all the way home when you have to come back early in the morning. Why don’t you just spend the night?”
I turned to Hollis. “I’m not sure your uncle is comfortable with that.”
“I’m happy to drive you home if you’d prefer to sleep in your own bed, but we do have a guest room. You’re welcome to stay.”
Hailey got up to grab a drink and Hollis mouthed, “Say yes.”
I chuckled.
When Hailey returned, I said, “You know what? It’s late. I think I’ll take you up on your offer. I’ll just wear the same clothes tomorrow.”
“I’m sure Uncle Hollis has a T-shirt you can sleep in.” Hailey bounced. “This is so cool. We’re having a sleepover with Elodie!”
Hollis flashed me a quick, mischievous smile.
Excited about my spending the night, Hailey insisted we paint our nails before bed. She also asked Hollis again for a T-shirt I could borrow. When I put it on, it went to the middle of my thighs. It was basically a dress.
I didn’t want her to sense anything strange—namely that I was anxious to get back to Hollis—so I took my time hanging out with her and acted as normal as possible. She finally yawned and announced she was turning in.
