your classes,” I said, smiling up into
his eyes. “You still need to graduate someday, you know.”
Zack closed the distance, pressing his lips against
mine. He kissed me hungrily, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist,
pressing me against him. I moaned against his lips, feeling the heat of his
body through his clothes, remembering all the times we had been together.
Zack’s tongue batted against mine, plunging deep into my mouth, tasting and
exploring me as if it had been months or years instead of a few short weeks
since we’d broken up.
I lost track of time and place, uncaring of anything
but the feeling of Zack’s body pressed against mine and the
taste of his lips . If my phone, stuffed into my pocket, hadn’t vibrated,
Zack and I might have stood there for hours continuing to kiss each other, with
no more concern for the rest of the world than a couple of statues—at least
until security came through the clear the building. But the buzz of my phone
startled me enough to break the kiss, and I pulled back, reeling, my mind
spinning with a dozen feelings at once. I slipped my phone out of my pocket
irritably, wondering who in the world would text me at a time like this; it was
Jess.
I
am on the bus and it just left the stadium. I may see if any of these nice
gentlemen with me is interested in sharing their room for the night. Have fun! I groaned and showed Zack the message. He laughed, pulling me up against him
and kissing me lightly on the forehead.
“We’ll grab a cab,” he said. “We can start off in
your room and if your roommate hasn’t found someone to spend the night with
we’ll go to mine.”
He took me by the hand and led me out of the
stadium, and I didn’t think there was a single woman in the city who was as happy as I was.
CHAPTER
SEVEN
It was strange to realize that I felt nervous as
Zack and I turned the corner in the hall leading up to the hotel room. Zack and
I had had sex plenty of times; he had seen me naked when we were in high school
and he had seen me naked a little over a month before. But there was something
just a little bit different about this time—something that made it more like
the first time we had ever had sex together. I fumbled with my key card, my
hands shaking just enough to make it fall to the floor. I knelt down and
grabbed at it before Zack could, forcing myself to focus just enough on the
task at hand to keep from dropping the card once again and managing after two
attempts to get it swiped and read properly. The door unlocked and Zack
propelled me through it, following quickly behind me and closing out the world
in a quick movement that I had to envy; wasn’t he tired after the tough game
he’d played?
Zack threw me against the door and pinned me there,
finding my lips and kissing me with a desperate hunger that I couldn’t help but
echo, my whole body already beginning to tingle, hot and cold flashes shooting
along my arms and legs. I could feel the hard ridge of his erection pressing
against me as he began to rub up against me slowly, rocking his hips. I wrapped
my arms around his broad shoulders, tangling my fingers in his hair as I melted
into the kiss, moaning softly into his mouth. I hadn’t realized how much I had
been starving for contact with him, how much I had craved the feeling of Zack’s
body and mine together. Even with our clothes still on, just kissing, I was so
turned on and almost overwhelmed by how good it felt. I nibbled at his bottom
lip playfully, evading the probing movements of his tongue seeking mine, pulling him in to deepen the kiss more and more .
Zack took control, one of his hands moving up to
hold the my head in place while he sucked my bottom lip into his mouth nipping
sharply and then sweeping the rough, wet, wriggling of his tongue along my
sensitive skin. I lost myself in the kiss, uncaring of how much time had
passed, not even caring for the moment if we did any more than what was already
happening. My mind
