Oh my God.
If I’d known earlier how deliciously dirty Jack was, I would have tried to get him naked much sooner.
My heart is pounding as I continue to stroke and suck him through his orgasm.
“Babe…” Behind the door, Lee’s muffled voice takes on a note of amusement. “Are we having a wank?”
“Something like that,” Jack growls, his body finally going still.
When I peer up, I see the haze of satisfaction darkening his blue eyes.
There’s a pause, followed by a gasp.
“Do you have a bird in there? Oh my God!”
“Pipe down,” Jack chastises our roommate while one corner of his mouth lifts in a grin. “Abbey’s asleep down the hall.”
I smother a wave of laughter and rest my cheek against Jack’s rock-hard thigh. His fingers are still in my hair, stroking gently.
“I expect details tomorrow morning,” Lee orders. “Understood?”
“Go away, mate,” Jack says instead, his voice firm.
Once Lee’s footsteps retreat, I sit up and demurely wipe my mouth. “You’re going to be interrogated tomorrow,” I warn Jack. “Like, waterboarding levels of grilling.”
“Worth it.” He tugs me toward him to plant a kiss on my cheek.
I nestle closer, reaching for the soft fleece throw at the foot of his bed. I pull it over us and rest my head on his shoulder.
“Wish you could spend the night in my bed,” he says.
“Lee wakes me up with a cup of coffee every morning. He’ll legit call the cops if he finds my bed made and me missing.”
“At least stay till I fall asleep then?”
My heart melts against my rib cage. He keeps lowering his guard around me and it’s…exhilarating. It’s a weird thing, Jack’s inner defense system. It’s not the same as Nate’s guarded nature, which is a result of Nate not trusting other people. Jack doesn’t trusthimself. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s becoming clearer the more time we spend together.
The mattress suddenly vibrates, tickling my leg, and I reach down to find the source.
“It’s your phone. Here,” I say, passing it to him.
Jack checks the notification and there’s no mistaking the way his entire body tenses.
“Everything okay?” I ask.
“All good.” With a quick motion, he swipes the notification away. “Just an email.”
Something about his vague answer raises my own guard. “Who’s emailing so late?”
Jack leans over to set his phone on the nightstand, then wraps his arm around me again. “Mate from school. He’s a night owl.”
It doesn’t sound like a lie, but it also kind of does. I decide not to push, because at the end of the day, it isn’t really my business. We’re not exclusive, and I’m not his girlfriend.
I push my rising unease away and force myself to focus on snuggling and pillow talk.
“You heard from your brothers lately? Any update on the evil Bree?”
“They’re still broken up, far as I know.” He sounds pleased. “Shannon says she and Mum went out for a secret celebration dinner.”
