After so thoroughly devouring me, Tyler sat me down at the kitchen table and served me three of the most delicious tacos I’d ever eaten. We’d spent the next couple of hours sipping wine, catching up on things, and talking about everything except the other night.
We ended up on the couch, with the TV set to a music channel as background noise. Massaging him had been my idea. A little payback for how amazingly good he’d just made me feel.
Really, Jenna?
Okay, fine, maybe I also wanted to get my hands on those shoulders and arms again.
Eventually we stopped talking, as Tyler’s moans and groans turned into sleepy sighs of contentment. By now I’d pushed him onto the floor. Straddling his perfect, bubble-shaped ass, I’d worked his lower back until he was a pool of liquid jelly beneath my talented fingertips.
“It’s getting late,” I finally whispered, leaning over so that my mouth was next to his ear. “I should probably go.”
Tyler mumbled something incoherent into one of the couch pillows I’d provided for him.
“Before I leave though, are you absolutelysureyou don’t want me to return the favor?”
I’d purred this question earlier, as he was washing the dinner plates. Number one, I kindareallywanted to give him a blowjob — especially after the fantastic things he’d done to me. But number two, trading oral favors was a big part of our history together. It was what we’d always done.
Then again, we weren’t really together.
Nevertheless, Tyler had shaken his head and politely declined. Not because he wouldn’t enjoy what I’d do to him, but because he’d claimed he already got what he wanted. And what he wanted was for tonight to be all about me.
“Thank you for dinner then,” I said, reluctantly removing my fingers from the surface of his smooth, hot skin. “And also for… well… you know.”
I stood up and moved to gather my coat. Tyler did a push-up, then swiveled into a sitting position as I pulled it on.
“Is your apartment really as cold as you say it is?” he asked.
I laughed, thinking of the frost outside. “Yeah. Freezing.”
“Then sleep here tonight.”
He was bare-chested and beautiful, his muscles all thick and swollen. Somehow I managed to pry my eyes upward, to meet his.
“Yeah, right.”
“I’m serious,” he shrugged at me innocently from the floor. “Stay. Let me keep you warm.”
“Tyler, I—”
“What?”
I couldn’t find the words. I shrugged back.
“Tyler, we’re not together.”
“So?”
“So it wouldn’t be—”
He interrupted me by standing up and slipping his arms around me. He did it gently. Tenderly.
“We canjustsleep,” he promised. “That’s all.”
His touch was enough to make my heart race, but it was his eyes that got me. They weren’t fierce or mischievous or anything they usually were. They were soft and understanding. Full of nostalgia and affection and maybe something even deeper.
“Just sleep, huh?”
He nodded slowly as he slipped my jacket over my arms. When he took it off completely, I offered no resistance.
