Jade pulls back and our eyes connect. Without blinking, she reaches behind her back and unclasps her bra, the material instantly loosening. “Are you sure?”

She nods, and soon, she’s completely bared to me. I shift my own legs, trying not to freak her out with how hard my cock is in my jeans. “I want to touch you,” I confess, my fingers slowly skating upwards.

“I want you to touch me.” She gasps and her body leans into my touch. “Please.”

I take my time raking my gaze over every inch of her. Her body flushes and my lips part, watching the color spread over her golden skin. My mouth follows the color, trailing open-mouth kisses over her sternum before coming down on her right nipple, clamping the little reddish bud between my teeth and sucking hard. Her hips jerk in response as she gasps and her hands delve back into my hair. I need more, to feel more of her soft skin. My hand moves lower over her abdomen, reaching to tease the waistband of her leggings. Jade surprises me, when her little hand grabs mine and pushes my hand under the fabric of her pants and underwear. I cup her gently, loving how she fits in the palm of my hand, and I apply a teasing amount of pressure.

I let go of her nipple with a pop, already missing the taste of her, but there is something I need to know. “Has anyone ever touched you here before?”

She shakes her head, her eyes soft and trusting. “I’ve never done anything before.”

That should not make me happy, but it does. I guess I wouldn’t have minded if she had, it’s her body, but knowing I’m the first to touch makes my heart pound. “Right now, I just want to make you feel good.” I place a kiss on her forehead, “Later.” I promise. One day soon, she will be mine in all ways but today, she just needs reassurance that this is important to me too.

Her eyes close when I lean over her, dragging my wet lips across her skin and giving equal attention to her left nipple. She moans again and I can’t help the way my body rocks into her. Her legs squeeze together, pushing my hand lower. Carefully, I drag my fingers over her slit, instantly feeling her heat and how wet she already is. I groan and bite down on the swollen bud between my lips.

Her legs fall open instantly.

I need this. She needs me.

I push my finger into her with slow precision, paying close attention to her face so I don’t hurt her. Jade’s eyes flutter open and closed, her breath hitches and she starts panting with each pump of my finger into her warm, soft, wet pussy.

“So fucking perfect.” I bite her jaw and follow with a kiss on her parted lips. “So wet for me, so sweet.”

Jade groans at my words, her hips rising against my hand, searching for her release. Her hands are everywhere, grabbing my shoulders, my hair, running down my arms and back up again. I grunt when her nails pierce the skin on my forearm and I know it will leave a mark. I don’t mind though. I’ll wear all of her marks proudly.

This time, I drive two fingers back inside her, stretching her, dipping in and out, and using my thumb to press on her clit. I push until I feel where her body starts to resist me then curl my fingers up, rubbing right at the angle of that hidden spot deep inside her.

“Onyx.” Her voice is breathy and stirs a bunch of emotions in my chest. My own body coils in response. “I need you. Kiss me. Anything.”

I drop my lips back down to hers, feasting on every moan and sound she makes, her body writhing beneath mine. I fight to keep control, to keep the pace she desperately wants, while working her clit over and over, pinching it while my fingers pump in and out. Her legs shake and I catch my name in her mouth when her body finally explodes under me and her juices run down my wrist.

We’re both breathless. Lips swollen. Her pupils blown wide and her eyes shine. Jade watches as I lift my hand and slip my two fingers between my lips, tasting her. Tangy and sweet, just like her mouth. Her cheeks blush and she turns to bury her head in my chest. “Perfect,” I whisper, holding her close to me.

“I’m really not that perfect.” Her voice is muffled against my shirt and I grin.

“To me, you are.”

She tilts her head back and I’m captivated by the look in her eyes. The emotions in them are a mirror of my own. She's almost as obsessed with me as I am with her. “Just keep trusting me, Jade. And if someone has something to say about us, to you, talk to me. I won’t let anyone hurt you. Ever.”

Her eyes widen, sensing the underlying danger in the conviction of my tone. I hold her gaze, letting her see into my soul and all the things I could be capable of. The things I would do for her.

“I do, trust you.” Her words are soft yet strong. I brush her hair out of her face. She shivers from the contact. I help her fix her clothes and then we’re lying face to face this time, her hand tucked in mine. I never want to leave. My grandfather is going to have to kill me before I willingly leave this town.

Jade

November

Idon’t look any different. I thought turning seventeen would be a big deal, that I would feel different, look more mature or something, but I’ve cleaned four of the five mirrors in Patti Tango’s studio and nothing about me screams: it's my birthday! It's very anticlimactic and sad, actually.

Thankfully, my birthday is on a weekend, and as soon as I’m done cleaning, I’ll see what Harper or Onyx are up to. I haven’t heard much from Harper today, which is surprising. Usually, we make plans to spend the afternoon or evening together. Us and Corey. It's been a month since the blow up between him and me. I don’t know what to say to him and he hasn’t made any moves to apologize to me either. I don’t want to lose Corey as my best friend. I’m hurt from the way he treated me and the things he said. Even if Onyx and I don’t live happily ever after, I’m happy being with him now. I wish Corey understood that. He can’t protect me from living. Going to school is tense and I probably would skip more if Onyx wasn’t with me. That arrangement can’t last forever, unfortunately. I know he needs to focus in the recording studio and I’m starting to feel guilty for how much time he has lost out on. Anytime I bring it up though, he shrugs and says he’s not in a hurry.

I like it. I like holding his hand in the hallway and seeing his piercing eyes on me the minute I leave the classroom. I like the way I get goosebumps when his hand rests on my lower back as he guides me through the lunch room. We sit with Harper and his cousin, Terrance, on most days. A few of the football guys join us, including Gage, who Onyx doesn’t seem to have any issue with. It’s a new normal. I’ve also never been so aware of how fast the school year is going by.

Arms wrap around me from behind, and I jump from the contact. “Happy Birthday, Star,” Onyx whispers in my ear. I turn in his arms and wind my arms around his neck. One of his hands slides into my hair and he pulls my lips to his. Onyx kisses me slowly, achingly, like he’s been desperate to all day. I fall into him, letting my body relax against his.

“What are you doing here?” I ask him, my voice breathless.
