The Line Between - Page 40/67

“Harder, Dane, I’m right there.”

My free hand slid down between her legs, and I rubbed her clit with a few deft strokes until her body tensed and tightened around me.

Kennedy let out the sexiest moan as she came, and I pushed into her as hard as I could before I let go. I was marking my mate, and the visceral affect rattled me. Our bodies shook, and we came down from the unreal high together. She didn’t move, and I wanted to stay inside her forever, but I felt our joint wetness trailing down my thigh. Just like I’d marked her, she was somehow marking me too.

“Oh shit,” she looked down, “we’re sticky.”

I chuckled at the tone of her voice, liking that she was so new to a lot of this. I couldn’t wait to show her more.

I gently lifted her off my lap, and handed her my discarded t-shirt before heading into the bathroom. I got her a washcloth, and went back to clean her up. Her leg twitched when I wiped her clean.

“Sore?”

She shook her head, and blushed. “Sensitive.”

I threw the washcloth into the hamper next to my door, and pulled on my briefs. She’d started to get up when I climbed into bed.

“Where are you going?”

“I was going to leave, but - ”

“You’re not going anywhere,” I said. I lifted the sheets, and opened my arm. She slipped back in beside me, and put her head in the crook of my arm. I lifted one of her legs over mine, and curled her into my side. We fell asleep, and I remember thinking I never wanted her to leave my bed. Ever.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Kennedy

WARM, SLIGHTLY CALLOUSED hands trailed around my waist and down my stomach, rousing me from sleep. I sighed, opening one eye, and welcomed the warmth of the hot body behind me.

“You stayed the night again,” I murmured tiredly. The sun peeked through my curtains, and I surmised it must have been past eight in the morning. Dane chuckled, and his chest vibrated against my back. “You wore me out. I didn’t have enough energy to leave.”

His hand cupped my sex, and my breathing faltered when he rubbed his finger over my clit.

“I’m tired,” I said. “You might have to do all the work yourself if you want to play.”

He hummed against my shoulder, pressing his morning erection between my butt cheeks. “I just want to touch you.”

He pushed a digit into me, and despite the way my body livened with the touch, I winced.

“Did I hurt you?” He asked quietly, easing his hand between my legs.

“I’m a little sore,” I replied honestly. “You were a little rowdier than usual last night.”

I turned around, and faced him, marveling at the brightness in his blue eyes. “Something was bothering you.”

Dane brushed his lips across mine, and cupped my head so that I wouldn’t pull away. He knew I was weird about morning breath, but for some reason it didn’t bother him. He still devoured my mouth like it was a necessity.

We’d been doing this song and dance for almost a week already. During the day our lives were normal, and we went to school and acted towards each other the way we always had. But at night Dane would sneak into my bedroom, and like the villain he was, he would use his wicked ways to turn me inside out. I went through the motions of my day, guarding our secret closely, and making sure no one suspected anything, but all I could think about was the next time Dane would be coming to me. It was just sex, but I’d come to crave the way he owned my body, and showed me that his body was made to please. And my God did he please me.

“I can kiss it better.” His lips moved against mine, and he shifted his thigh between mine. He was avoiding my observation, and I figured it was too personal for our arrangement. He avoided sentimentality, unless he was whispering salacious things into my ear while bending me to his will.

“I’d rather be doing something else,” I replied. My hand moved down his stomach, over his washboard abs, past that delicious V, and I wrapped my fingers around his cock. His skin was soft, a contradiction to the hardness it covered.

“I think you’re right,” he said in a rush. “That is a close second to what I’d been planning on doing to you.”

I tightened my grip, and started moving my hand up and down, watching the way Dane’s eyes clouded over. As much as I liked being at his mercy, it made my insides coil when he was at mine.

He kissed me hard, stealing the air from my lungs. My thumb stroked the head of his cock, spreading his pre-cum in circles.

“Jesus,” he groaned.

I smiled, feeling pleased with myself. Just as I ducked my head under the sheet, a loud knock came from the other side of my door. We froze.

“Kennedy? Are you awake?”

“Shit,” muttered Dane. “It’s Jade.”

I scrambled up from the bed, grabbing my robe from my desk chair. “Yes, just a minute.”

The doorknob jostled, but the door stayed closed. “Why is your door locked?” Asked Jade.

“Uh…” I searched my mind for an answer but came up empty. I frantically looked at Dane, and started hiding his clothes.

“I locked the door,” he whispered.

“Just stay under the sheets, I’ll get rid of her.”

I brushed my fingers through my freshly-fucked hair, and opened the door just enough to slip out.

“Hi,” I said in a breathy voice. “I’m awake. What’s up?”

Jade’s perfectly shaped brow quirked. “Why was your door locked?” She asked again.

When I didn’t answer her eyes widened. “Oh my God, is there someone in there?”

She tried to push past me, but I blocked her. “Jade, please don’t.”

Her face nearly cracked when she grinned. “It’s a guy, isn’t it? Who is it?”

“Jade,” I chided. “He can hear you!”

“So it is a guy!” She squealed, and started clapping like we were teenagers again.

“Yes,” I hissed. “If you must know, it’s a guy. Now will you tell me why you were looking for me?”

“Is he hot? What’s his name? Is the sex good?” The way she looked was laughable – like a dog begging for a bone. I could indulge her curiosity without giving away too much, right?

“Fine,” I acquiesced. “He’s hotter than Hades, but that’s all you’re getting.”

Her mouth formed a pout. “I need more than that.”

“We’ll talk later okay? Like when he isn’t on the other side of my bedroom door.”

With narrowed eyes, Jade replied, “Okay, but I want details. I wanted to know if you’re free for lunch today. I have a two-hour break between classes, and I don’t want to sit alone.”

I thought about my schedule, and nodded when I remembered that I also had a two-hour break between my only two classes for the day. “I’ll meet you in the cafeteria at say, twelve-ish?”

“Sounds good. Now go shower, you smell like sex, and I’m getting jealous.”

I giggled, and gently shoved her towards the living room before I opened my door. It clicked shut behind me, and I found Dane lying on his side in the middle of my bed with the sheet haphazardly strewn across his waist. But it was his shit-eating grin that got me.
