one, ” AJ said. “ Hurry. I ’ m getting tired. ”
It occurred to Bryan whatever sleep
meant, he could have AJ in his bed with him. He smiled and looked at the couch.
“ That
couch is uncomfortable. ”
By the time Bryan looked back at
AJ, she was moving at him.

I had no idea what went through my
head, but when it came together it all made sense. The second Bryan opened the
door to his apartment I could sense something. It was a familiar feeling. The
feeling of being let down. The feeling of being used. And it gave me a homely
feeling. So as much as I wanted to be somewhere different, I wasn ’ t.
When he said he was coming to look
for me, how could that not mean anything? I ’ m
not sure anyone ever came looking for me. In fact, once when I was sixteen I
took the car and left. I disappeared for an entire day, missing dinner, and the
only time someone called me was to ask if I had the car. Not where I was. Not
what I was doing. Not why I had been gone all day.
But Bryan cared. He worried about
me sleeping in my car.
As if I needed any more coaxing to
get closer to him, he smelled great. It was obvious he showered and without the
intense smell of cologne, she could smell the mild sweetness of soap but the
lingering smell of man. It was just Bryan ’ s
body
All man.
I tried to kill some time by going
into the kitchen, looking around, but the topic of sleep was going to come up.
And looking at Bryan in just a t-shirt, looking at his thick arms, it just made
me want to be there. In his arms. To have him hold me. To be in a comfy bed. To
have a decent night of sleep.
When the flicker in Bryan ’ s eyes happened and he finally
managed to make a flirty comment to me - that couch is uncomfortable - I
knew I had my opening with him.
So I lunged at him.
I wrapped my arms around his neck,
moved to the very tips of my toes, and I kissed him. Lips to lips, our eyes
open, both of us in shock.
Bryan kissed me back before he
touched me. I don ’ t know
why but that meant something to me. It meant I made him a little nervous and
unsure, a first for a guy with me. They usually pushed for more, more, more,
knowing they could be just hours away from seeing my stripper sister.
I broke off the kiss and stared at
Bryan.
His hands were at my sides, at my
ribs, his thumbs slowly moving, inches from my breasts. He teased me, whether
he knew it or not. I wasn ’ t
going to point it out. It felt good. That ’ s
all that mattered to me.
I opened my hands and touched his
face.
I pulled at him and then moved to
my toes again.
Our lips came together, this time
with more passion. I shut my eyes and gently parted my lips, feeling him do the
same. Bryan kissed me with his tongue first, tasting my lips before I offered
my tongue too. Our heads turned and the kiss became really hot. I bent my knees
and bent back, forcing him to hold me at my back. One of his hands slid down my
back, to my ass, and then he lifted me. He lifted me with ease, which was an
unspoken compliment, and then started to walk. I overpowered him with my
kissing, searching his mouth as hard and as fast as I could, my fingers running
through his damp hair. The more I moved my fingers the more I smelled his
shampoo. It drove my nose wild.
The kiss stopped as Bryan continued
to walk.
“ Wait
a second, ” I said, catching
my breath.
“ What? ” he asked.
“ What
are we doing? ”
“ I ’ m taking you to my room. To my
bed. ”
“ Are
you going to fuck me? ” I
asked.
Bryan ’ s
face looked shocked. “ I...
you said... ”
I pulled at Bryan ’ s hair.
Fuck.
Why did he have to look so good?
“ Just
don ’ t let this be anything, ” I said. “ Okay? ”
“ What
does that man? ” Bryan
asked.
“ Just
don ’ t let it be anything, ” I repeated. “ No romance or cuddling or... ”
“ Shut
up, AJ, ” Bryan said.
He was bold and sexy. And his lips
were back to mine as we stood in the hall. Bryan turned and leaned
