Chase
“You did what?” Jax asked, as he handed me another beer.
We were sitting outside one of our local hangout spots, Jake’s Bar and Karaoke, and drinking a few beers after work. I had begged Jim to let me have an extra shift, but he wouldn’t budge. After my night with Lizzie, I just wanted to be around her every day. I knew it made me sound weak, but I didn’t care.
Laughing, I put my beer down and clapped my hands. “I bought a new SUV and took her out to my favorite spot,” I said, as I relived that moment in my mind. Everything about it was perfect. I left out the part about me making her wet and screaming my name; some things needed to stay between me and Lizzie.
I had never had a perfect moment in my life. At least, not until I met Lizzie. I didn’t think those kinds of emotions actually existed. That they were just written for romantic movies and cheesy novels.
“You know you’re crazy, right?” Jax laughed, as he took a swig of his beer. “Buying a new car? Taking a girl out on a date? I don’t know you anymore,” he kidded. “I mean, I know you have the money, tons of it since you never spend anything on yourself, but making two big life decisions in one day is a pretty big step.”
“Look, I haven’t felt anything other than anger or boredom in a very, very long time. Being around Lizzie makes me feel like I’m alive again. It’s like I can breathe.”
“Wow, you have it bad,” Jax said, as he eyed me. “So, what about her hot friend? Avery is her name,” he said, like he didn’t already know her name.
“I don’t know. I just know they’re best friends, and Avery knows about Lizzie’s past.” I wasn’t about to reveal Lizzie’s secret. Sure, Jax was my friend, but Lizzie’s secret wasn’t mine to tell. I understood how important it was to find someone to share a secret with. I wouldn’t betray her.
“Maybe help me get a date with Avery or something?” Jax asked, as he watched me carefully.
“We’ll see,” I replied.
“So, what’s your next step, loverboy,” Jax asked, as he playfully punched my arm.
“I’m going to make sure Lizzie is always safe,” I said sternly.
And I meant what I said. My first step would be to get her a phone. Next, I would make sure she knew she could ask me for anything she wanted. All I wanted to do now that she was in my life was make her happy. I would do anything to make that happen. Anything.
CHAPTER 16
Chase and I spent the weekend lying in his bed and watching old comedies from the 90s. Ordering a pizza and room service, we didn’t leave the room once between Friday evening and Sunday evening. I had spent the majority of our time nestled onto his chest as his hands were placed firmly around my waist. Running his hands through my hair, Chase looked so calm and content. I wished he would always look like that. Without thinking, he placed a soft kiss on top of my head and a smile washed over him. I was sure he wasn’t even aware of the action or the smile that still remained on his face. But I saw it. I felt the world move as those lips parted just for me.
“I would love to visit there sometime,” I said, as I pointed to the screen.
“Where?” Chase asked, suddenly curious.
“Venice, Italy. Doesn’t it look beautiful?”
In the movie, the couple had traveled to Venice, Italy as they prepared to stop their best friend from marrying a witch of a woman. Of course, they went through several hilariousobstacles, but the movie ended with the man finding the perfect Italian goddess after his future bride took off with a groomsman.
“It’s beautiful. But not as beautiful as you are,” Chase praised, as he licked his lips and looked at me.
Looking up, I felt an urge grow deep down inside my belly. Chase had been so patient with me, never pushing me past my own sexual boundaries. Now though, I felt the heat rising inside me, and I needed his touch on my body. Rising, I climbed on top of Chase.
With startled eyes, Chase tore his gaze away from the movie playing on the television screen, and he looked at me like he wasn’t sure of my next move. I moved my face toward him, and my long hair fell in front of me. Chase drank me in as he watched me with a curious glow.
“Lizzie, you’re so beautiful,” he said, as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. Inching his way up toward me, Chase brushed his lips against mine. The slight passing of our skin sent bolts of electricity through me. I knew he felt it, too, the way his eyes grew wide, and his erection grew hard beneath me.
With his lips swiftly crashing into mine, I knew he had felt the heat and electricity between us. The lust and control finally exploded. I placed my small hands on the back of his strong neck and ran them through his short hair as our lips collided in a passionate kiss.
“You’re my fantasy. My dream girl,” Chase whispered, as his hands roamed under my shirt.
He cupped my breasts and gently tugged at my nipple as I threw my head back from the ecstasy I felt. Moving his hips beneath me, Chase rubbed his erection against my sensitive clit. Even through clothes, I felt like I would reach my climax.
“Oh, Chase,” I moaned, as I felt myself reaching a new high.
“Shit, Lizzie, I’m going to come undone,” Chase growled, from beneath me.
Without warning, he slipped two fingers down into my yoga pants to explore my sensitive skin. As his fingers rubbed and slipped in and out of me, I rocked harder against him. My voice grew louder as I screamed his name in pleasure as I met my climax with just his touch.
