“It’s okay.” She wiped her eyes. “I do the same thing.”
“Yeah, you do.” I snorted a laugh. “I still can’t believe you told your
family we were dating.”
“I wanted it to be true!” she said with a laugh of her own.
“Yeah, but do you still? That’s the question now.”
“I…” She swallowed hard and considered her answer. “I do.”
I smiled but immediately turned puckish. “I told you, not until we’re married.”
Her eyes flew wide and she lunged at me. She bowled me over and ended up on top of me.
I kissed her.
She struggled for a moment but then gave in. Her body relaxed against mine, and she sighed with pleasure. My dick decided to join the fun. She squeaked when she felt it beneath her.
“Sorry,” I said without a trace of regret. “But I told you so.”
“It’s ’cause he likes me.”
“He does. Very much. And he can’t wait to be properly introduced.”
“I can’t either.”
“Well, you’re gonna have to. So is he.”
She frowned.
“I told you, you aren’t ready yet. And to be honest, neither am I. Not after tonight.”
“I understand.”
I caressed her ass through her pajamas. “I definitely
“I know. I can feel it.”
“We’ll get there. Patience, okay?”
She nodded.
I kissed her again and patted her ass for good measure.
She rested her head on my chest. Finally she said, “I’d better go.”
“Yeah, I know. If you stay here much longer, my poor hard-on is gonna explode.”
“He isn’t the only one.”
I grinned and kissed her again. Then I gently pushed her away so I could sit up.
She stood and looked down at
“Yeah, when I’m sitting down and you’re standing up.” I grinned. “Then again, this puts me at a perfect level to admire your chest.”
“Yeah,” she scoffed, “what little I have.”
“Still, I can’t wait to be properly introduced.” I slid my hands up the outside of her pajama top and cupped her small breasts. I teased her nipples until they were stiff.
Eventually I released her and stood. I kissed her again. Then I turned her toward the door. I marched her down the hall to her own room, where I lifted her chin for a final kiss.
She sighed and leaned against me till it ended.
“Sweet dreams,” I said with a grin.
“Of penises.”
“And erections,” I added. “Long, hard erections. That feel good in your mouth.”
“Oh my gosh!”
“G’night, Little Bit.”
“Goodnight.”
“See you tomorrow.”
“Mmm. I can’t wait.”
“Me neither.”
Christy was in a good mood after aerobics. She bounced along as we walked out of the Sports Bubble.
“Here, hold this.” She handed me her duffel bag. Then she twirled and walked backward in front of us, until she suddenly ran and leapt into my arms. She wrapped hers around my neck and gave me a long kiss as I carried her down the sidewalk. After about ten feet she hopped down and danced away happily.
We watched her go. I felt like a grown-up watching a toddler chase a butterfly.
“She told me about your call last night,” Wren said after a moment, “and what you talked about after.”
I nodded.
“So you ended it with Gina?”
“Yeah.”
“Is she okay?”
“Gina? Yeah, I think so. She knew it was coming. She’d been thinking the same thing. Still wasn’t easy, though. For either of us.”
“A long-distance relationship is hard to make work,” Trip said.
I nodded. He should know.
“Also, it’s hard to compete with the all-star matchmaker here.”
Wren piped up, “Do I need to remind you that
“Yes, dear,” he said blandly.
“I’m sorry for Gina, though,” Wren said. “Happy for you and Christy,
but…” She shrugged. “Real people with real lives. Isn’t that what you’ve been telling me?”
I grinned sidelong at Trip. “She
“Oh, I’ve known all along,” he said. “But next time maybe don’t make her feel so guilty about it. Totally ruins our sex life.”
“I’ll do my best,” I laughed. Then I watched Christy frolic and run back toward us. “God, I can’t
“She’s gonna rock your world,” Wren said with a smirk.
Christy skidded to a halt, apple-cheeked and breathless. “What’s so funny, Mr. I Know That Look In Your Eye?”
“You,” I said matter-of-factly. “I was just saying how I can’t wait to get you into bed.”
Her baby blue eyes flew wide. Then she grinned. “You’ll have to catch me first!” She dashed away.
“Have to catch her first,” I said to the others.
Trip calmly reached out and accepted Christy’s duffel bag from me. He passed it to Wren and slung my backpack next to his own.
“You’re never gonna catch her, dude,” he said.
“That’s okay. I know where she lives.”
He glanced at Wren. “He really
“Yeah, but we’re stuck with him.”
I gave them a final grin and jogged after Christy. Trip was right, I didn’t have a hope of catching her. She was too light, too quick, too full of energy.
But I’d run her down eventually. And when I did, I’d have fun toying with her until I was ready to eat her.
