It iswild.

My hands move, wrapping his neck and moving into his hair that’s mussed with sleep, holding him to me like I’m afraid he’ll leave.

His hand moves, one arm wrapping around my waist and pulling me tight, the other going to my ass.

He groans as he does so, a sound that is nearly a resignation, like he’d come to realize a truth.

I understand the feeling.

Because I hate this man.

I hate him and his personality and his shitty attitude, but this kiss? This kiss feelsright. His lips move against mine, soft and smooth, before his tongue dips into mine, demanding the access I eagerly grant.

A tongue pierced with warm metal enters my mouth, running along mine as he tastes me, his taste filling my mouth, overtaking my senses. The hand on my ass pulls me closer, and I feel his cock hardening against my belly.

Now I groan a low, breathy moan into his mouth.

And with that, my senses come back.

This has gone too far. Way too far.

New Lola wouldn’t let a man come in, mess with her morning, and thenkissher, would she?

I stop the kiss, gently pushing on his chest, and still, he nips my lip a hair harder than necessary, like it’s my penance for tempting him before his head moves back completely.

“Yeah, she feels it too,” he says under his breath, voice strangely husky. He’s talking to himself.

And then Ben steps back, letting me go, but not before he knows I’m stable on my feet. He turns around and leaves like he was never even there in the first place.

He leaves and I’m left standing there, staring at where he once stood, so confused as to what the fuck just happened.

-Ben-

When I get backto my place, I toss my shorts onto a chair as I walk to my bed before throwing myself into it again.

The bedsheets are cold.

Empty bedsheets.

They make me remember what I said to Lola, about her needing a man to keep her in bed.

And for the life of me, I can’t figure out why I said that.

But as I lie there, staring at the ceiling and fuming because it seems her noise has actually increased since my visit, I can’t help but think about how I can keep my bedsheets warm as the smell of butter and brown sugar wraps around me.

I eventually fall back asleep.

Fifteen

-Lola-

Hours later,as I’m trying to keep my eyes open with the small amount of sleep I’m running on, dark hair and a friendly smile walk in.

Hattie.

“Hey girl, you sleeping over there?” she asks and I stand from where I was resting my head in my hands on the counter. I cover my mouth as I yawn the kind of yawn that takes over my entire body before smiling at her.
