I grabbed her hips and boosted her legs around my waist mindful of keeping her steady. She leaned into my chest but arched her back to look at me.

“I’m contemplating whether or not you’ll let me kiss the shit out of you, but I don’t really want to ask for permission.”

Her nose scrunched and her eyes twinkled with those golden flecks like fireflies on a summer night. “Then you might want to start with forgiveness.”

She grabbed onto my t-shirt and pulled closer. I wrapped my arms around her and touched my lips to hers. I tasted the salt from the rim of the glass and the tart sweetness. I sucked gently on her top lips and she opened her mouth undermine. She nipped and pulled on my bottom lip and the sting sent electric straight to my cock. My schoolteacher had a naughty side I wanted to draw out as much as possible if she let me. I’d start with this kiss and see where it went.

Her hands anchored on my shoulders and I picked her up linking my hands under her firm butt. I felt her muscles clench and I slow walked us over to my sofa parking my ass on it giving her the top position. I would have moved to the bed for comfort, but I didn’t want her thinking that I was only in it for the sex. I wasn’t. Sure it crossed my mind. I was a dude and a healthy one with an appetite for her pussy, but I wasn’t an asshole. I really did want to get to know her, date her, see where this crazy thing would take us.

“Am I forgiven yet?” I rasped against her neck letting my scruff abrade her skin as I kissed and sucked lightly. I wasn’t about to leave her with hickeys, though the idea was tempting and perhaps I’d try it in a less obvious place.

Kiara moaned, “Not by a long shot.”

Kiara

Brunch with David turned into a kissing, dry humping fest until my cellphone rang. My family had impeccable timing in the form of my sister getting engaged. Kelsey’s on again, off again chief of staff finally ponied up a ring and I was expected to be at the house tonight for dinner. So much for meeting David’s friends and easing myself into this. Had I really expected him to wait around until spring for a date? Of course not, but I needed time to process how I was going to meet all my commitments and balance a romantic interest.

David had the grace to not pout when I asked him for a rain check. The question now was when and not if. Unfortunately our weekday schedules didn’t mesh and my girls cross country team had a heavy week of practice befor

e we tapered off before a big meet in Albany. Tired didn’t begin to cover it, so a week went by and when the fall lake effect rains came my leg began to throb and my joints reminded me what being a dedicated athlete felt like. Going to PT regularly was easier during the summer and off season months, but with school underway I hadn’t made the time I should have to stay on top of things.

Phantom pains radiated up my leg and back down again as if the limb was still there. It was a challenge to deal with on a good day, but on a day like today, there was no telling how it would affect my mood. I sat in my car giving myself a pep talk until I heard the gentle rapping on my car window.

Chase Calloway.

I pressed the button and rolled my window down smiling at my friend. We met here a few years during our outpatient time. Easy to talk to and good looking which didn’t hurt made Chase someone I adored.

“Hey PT buddy.” Chase opened my door for me and held it open as I got out of the car a little less steady today than normally. His arm reached out, but he didn’t grab for me, instead he waited for me to grab him because I couldn’t staunch my independence even a little bit with someone I trusted.

I gritted through the strain of muscles stretching to stand up.

“Busy week?” He asked with a smirk.

“Not the kind you’re thinking pervert.”

Chase chuckled muttering, “Damn stubborn girl.” He reached inside the car for my gym bag and slung it over his shoulder ignoring any protest I might have made.

“Thanks.” I leaned into him and we walked together toward the entrance. “I didn’t know you were today, it’s not our usual training day.”

“I happened to see you from the weight room and couldn’t figure out why you were hanging out inside your car. Usually you’re already inside waiting to kick my ass.”

I’d been coming here to continue my strength training since my partial amputation. Chase joined our PT group after his knee surgery and stayed on. We considered each other training partners and while Chase had no desire to run a 5k race, I couldn’t get rid of the need I felt to have the wind on my skin as I pushed myself over the road toward a finish line banner. Running was as much a part of me as breathing.

“Let’s just say I over did it last weekend in the race and now I’m paying for it.” I grimaced wishing I’d thought to bring my crutches as much as I hated them, the extra stability would have been nice.

“Bruising?” He asked nodding to my leg.

“Yeah. Pain just wearing my prosthetic.” I had a heck of a time getting my sock on this morning and despite wanting to lay in bed and feel sorry for myself, I forced myself to get up, call Roy my trainer, and get in here to address this. I was all for ripping the band aid off as much as I could.

Chase grimaced. While he still had his leg, he also knew what surgery and a subsequent knee replacement was like from his football injury. We were both a little bionic and equally as stubborn.

“Hey! Kiara.” David jogged up to us in the parking lot. I hadn’t seen him since the kiss a week ago. What was he doing here?

“David.” Chase and him did the bro hug thing and I felt like a third wheel in a rehab sandwich.

“I didn’t know you guys were good friends.” I’d forgotten how small town could be and how everyone knew each other.
