He takes a step closer and then pulls me into him, throwing me off balance so that I land in his arms, laughing.
“Maybe you complete the look.” His smile widens, and I’m suddenly aware of how close that devastating mouth is.
My head tilts up, eyes wide, and I know I’m being ridiculous…but I can feel every inch of the space between us, and I’m struggling to catch my breath - not from the fall, either.
Fucking stop it, Cassie!
I pull back, breaking the moment, and laugh again, looking down at myself. “Yeah, I don’t think I’m adding to your charm, dude.”
I’ve stolen his spare pair of pants, and my delicate nightgown is trailing over the top of them, and I don’t think I could be any more mismatched.
“I don’t know, Cassie…” He gives me a long, slow glance. “Must be fun knowing you can look hot in whatever you throw on.”
The air between us keeps tightening, and I can’t work out whether I’m just imagining things.
I catch myself before saying something very similar about him, then shake my head and step firmly away.
“Yeah, sure, Josh.” I roll my eyes at him and move over to the bed. “I’m cold and I don’t give a fuck about anything other than warming up right now.”
Except, ‘you look hot’ lingers in my mind anyway.
Irritated at myself, I push back the overloaded covers on the bed and start wriggling in, barely able to move under the weight of everything we piled on top.
He shuffles into his side and we lie there completely still for a few moments.
“I can barely move.” I laugh a little, trying to wriggle underneath it all. Turning onto my side seems impossible right now, and I’m trying not to create any extra gaps that might let the cool air in. “At least it’s cozy.”
Or at least it would be, if it wasn’t still so damn cold.
C’mon. Warm up.
I give it a few minutes, curling up into a ball and trying to get my body warmth all in one place, feeling Josh stretching out beside me, but even with all the blankets on top of us, I’ve got goosebumps all down my skin.
“I’m still cold.” I say eventually.
“Me too.” He agrees. “Fucking AC.”
He reaches for my hand under the covers, breaking the unspoken boundary between his side and my side, and that’s the only invitation I need to wriggle over to him and lay my head against his chest, latching onto him for heat.
His arm comes around my back and pulls me closer, enveloping me in the kind of warmth that I was craving. I sigh just a little, relaxing.
It’s not like we haven’t done this sort of thing before - cuddling together while on the sofa, drinking wine, or in the bed watching late night movies. We do that all the time.
But there hasn’t been any of that on this trip. We didn’t discuss it, but it just didn’t feel…right.
Now, though.
Now I’m regretting ever feeling that it might have been awkward, happy to have his warmth and company back - especially in the cold room.
“Oh thank god.” I moan, as I finally start feeling like I might warm up.
He smiles at me, kissing my forehead, and I’m suddenly aware of the way my body is pressed up against his. Instead of the pure source of heat I’d seen it as, I feel the firm muscles sliding against my body.
The way I’m rubbing my leg up and down his - for friction, for warmth, but now…for something else. My arms stop clinging to him and shivering, and instead one hand glides slowly down his chest, enjoying the hard muscle there, obvious even through the t-shirt he’s wearing.
Then my hand goes up, underneath that top, touching his skin. I can’t help myself. I’ve been looking this whole trip. And now I’m so close…I want to feel it.
He doesn’t move for a long moment, saying nothing as I explore and my pussy pulses with the need I’ve been suppressing this whole time.
Then he shifts - his large body moving us both as he twists and takes me in his arms. Impossibly, he brings me even closer, our limbs twisting and tangling together as we lie on our side facing each other, his arms wrapping around me.
It’s blessedly warm, but it’s…so much more than that.
His hand runs across my cheek, and then he’s kissing me.
Not like he has before. Not a display. Or a joke. Or a point he’s making.
Not even the hot kisses we continued sharing today, almost casually. Purposefully ignoring them.
No, this…this is deliberate. Intentional.
He holds my head in both of his hands, and his whole body leans in. Our mouths meet and join, and our tongues dance with heat as our bodies start writhing together. I gasp and moan and don’t even try to stop myself, and I finally hear him groan for me. Hear the weight of his own desire and need.
It makes my pussy clench in lust, and I nibble on his lower lip as the world narrows to just this moment. Just this feeling.
This overwhelming pressure, that finally feels like it’s going to burst.
That one heated, demanding kiss - and then we can’t stop.
Josh runs his hand down my arm, then around my hip until he’s cupping my ass, bringing me ever closer.
He murmurs my name and it sends shudders through me, every part of me lighting up with a fire I didn’t want to know existed.
We keep kissing, our lips meeting and breaking apart as our bodies move against each other. I start exploring him with small, cautious touches, becoming more insistent with every moan he steals from me.
Oh, fuck.
We’re trying to twist and turn in the heavy sheets, and Josh reaches up to throw half of them off. He takes my head in his hands again and I get one moment to see his heated gaze before his lips press to mine again. I haven’t made out like this for as long as I can remember.
Quick, one-night flings when I have the chance for a little stress relief, sure.
But taking time, kissing like it’s more important than breathing, feeling his ravenous gaze all over me as we can’t stop touching each other…
My god.
I see his face. Josh’s face. My best friend. And it blows my mind for a moment.
He’s handsome. I’ve seen that whenever I’ve looked at him.
But now…here…I don’t see it anymore.
I feel it.
Overwhelming. Powerful.
Like a blow to the stomach that leaves me breathless and panting and aching for more.
My pussy clenches tight, and as if he can sense it, I feel his thigh there, pressing between my legs.
I let out a moaning, desperate noise, and he twists us so that I’m on my back. His hands run down my body, showing me how much he wants me as he sets every sense alight.
I tug at his t-shirt, wanting it off. I need to see and feel him - and he obliges in the next moment, pulling it over his head and tossing it to the floor. I reach up to run my hands over his rugged, hard flesh and I moan in appreciation.
God damn.
I’ve spent so long mocking him for how sculpted and ripped he keeps his body and now…god, now I can’t imagine anything better.
His fingers slide up my thighs, under my silky nightgown, and they leave a trail of fire behind them. I moan and buck into him, I can’t help myself, and the smile that he gives me as he raises a brow is dark and heated.
I nod immediately, knowing what he’s asking.
I’m not cold at all anymore. I feel hot and flushed with passion, and every time our skin touches, sparks seem to fly straight through me.
That’s all it takes for us to start tearing off the bed clothes we’d scrabbled around looking for, and then it’s just us.
Just Josh and I.
Skin against skin. Nothing else between us.
That startles me out of myself for just one moment. Just enough to look up at him, wide-eyed.
“Josh…what are we…” I breathe.
I don’t even know whether I want to ask it. Whether I want to risk this stopping for anything
at all.
“I’m kissing you…” He answers, doing it as he talks, stealing my breath again and making me moan up into him. “Because I want to, Cassie.”
The power and entitlement there sends another shudder through me, that blissful feeling of being so desired overtaking me.
By Josh.
My Josh.
The guy I’d never even thought would—
“…and touching you…” His hands glide over my open, exposed body, coming to a stop over my breasts and curving around them, teasing and touching and tempting until I’m crying out for more.
My pussy is pulsing hard now, tensing with such a deep-seated need I wonder how it will ever be satisfied, and then his mouth finally leaves mine.
“…and tasting you…”
Those beautiful, firm lips drift down my body, kissing, suckling, nibbling as I clutch onto him for dear life. His hands tighten around my tits and squeeze and pull and I nearly explode off the bed from how good it feels. My legs wrap around his hips, wanting—needing—more, but he slips through them easily, his mouth moving ever lower.
He looks up at me from between my legs, and I widen them instinctively, my pussy wet and glistening and waiting for him. I swear I can feel his breath over it, and it spasms in response.
“Unless…you don’t want me to, Cassie?” His voice is so deep now, darkened with lust and so inviting that I think he could convince me of anything. “Do you want me to stop?”
I whimper, then shake my head hard.
“No…no, don’t stop. Please…” It escapes me in a whisper.
His smile could come from the devil himself, and his eyes…his eyes are pure fire.
I shudder, and then his mouth is on me and I can’t think anymore. Can’t work out what we’re doing, can’t question it.
Can only feel, as his tongue touches and teases and strokes me in all the right ways.
Fucking hell.
His hands grip my thighs hard, parting them and not giving me any reprieve from the intensity of his tongue and mouth on me. He starts off with long, slow strokes, tantalizing every sensitive fold of my entrance, then wraps around my clit and suckles and flicks it until I think I’m going crazy.
I clutch the sheets hard, throwing my head back into the pillow, eyes rolling back as I moan and cry out with the need building so hard and so fast inside me. I can feel the desperate heat, the tension, the energy of it all, rushing through my stomach and down, lower, further…
“Oh, fuck…” I mutter it, I can’t help myself, and I hear him chuckle.
Actually fucking chuckle.
The bastard.
But the feel of that against me just makes me shudder more, and I’m squirming against him now, trying to deal with the hot intensity of his mouth. Josh is stronger than I ever knew, though, and I can’t move at all as I moan and try to thrust forward, my pussy pulsing and spasming with need.
“Fuck, Josh…I think…fuck.”
It becomes too much a moment later, and I cry out as the orgasm overtakes me, the washing over my body and every nerve tensing and contracting and making my body rock and spasm.
He stays with me throughout it, that talented mouth and tongue not letting up for an instant, until I’m shuddering through the aftershocks and moaning his name. When I finally get myself under control, he looks up at me with that same, powerful smile, and I watch his tongue slip out to taste my juices as I moan again, unable to help myself.
I’m still gasping for breath as he slowly makes his way up again, kissing and nuzzling all over my body and making every part of me feel sensitized and on fire from his touch.
It isn’t until we’re face to face again, his fingers tangling in my hair and breathing hard together, that I see the strain and need on his face too.
“God, Cassie…you…fuck it…incredible.”
I smile, slightly dazed, but still feeling an aching need inside that hasn’t been touched yet. It takes that thought for me to realize his hard cock is lying against my thigh, hot and pulsing and enough to make me shudder again. I reach down, unable to resist running my fingers over his chest until I get to that light spattering of hair, narrowing into a ‘V’ and taking me down to what I really want.
He doesn’t stop me, and his eyes flicker as I finally get my hand around his cock.
I gasp, then bite my lip, unable to help myself. I’ve always known Josh wasn’t small, but…fuck.
I want that.
I can feel the silken softness of that sensitive skin, covering pure heated steel that promises to be exactly what I need right now. My pussy contracts again, sensitive and aching from the orgasm, but still empty and wanting to feel Josh.
He nips at my neck as I touch him, stroking gently, almost reverently. I’ve never felt quite this way before.
Sex has always been fun, but this feels…different. I’m used to light and easy. Not having an emotion reaction to some guy’s cock.
But this isn’t some guy, either.
I push that thought out of my mind as Josh looks up at me, the strain on his face even more obvious.
“Cassie…” My name sounds rough on his lips. Rough, and perfect. “I need…fuck it…”
“What?” I say, unable to hold back. “What do you need, Josh?”
I tighten my grip on him as I talk, suddenly wanting to give him anything and everything. And hoping that what he wants is the same thing my body is craving.
Instead, he digs one hand into the pillow beside my head, grunting.
“Fuck it, you keep…doing that…I won’t be able to hold back.” He mutters, voice turning harsh.
“So, don’t hold back.” I say, far more breathy than I was intending.
He grunts again. “I don’t…have…”
I nibble his ear, knowing what he’s going to say.
Of course he doesn’t. This wasn’t a fucking-each-other vacation. Just a pretending to be my boyfriend one.
I push that thought away, too. I can’t deal with that shit right now.
“I’m on the pill. You get tested after every relationship. Please don’t fucking tell me Katie was the one exception to that.”
He blinks, obviously surprised.
Maybe that it’s actually me, Cassie staring back at him, the one girl who knows him that well. Maybe that I’m thinking clearly enough to point that out.
He shouldn’t be surprised by either.
I’ve always been detail oriented - especially when it comes to getting what I want.
“No…” He finally gets out. “Katie…wasn’t an exception.”
I smile slowly, and know how lascivious I must look like this. Lying under him, my hair splayed out and his fist tangled in it, my legs spread and my body open and aching and wanting.
It only turns me on more, and I stroke Josh again, licking my lips as I do, and tugging him forward to position him exactly where I want him.
He groans as he presses up against my slick entrance, and I thrust forward, rolling my hips and shifting so that my arms are around his neck, pulling him into me.
“God…Cassie…” He grunts, and we’re close enough that I can see the haze of lust dimming his eyes now.
He pushes a little, tempting and teasing and I moan in time with it, needing so much more.
“This is…what I…need.” He mutters against me, breathing hard.
And then he’s inside me, with one strong thrust that has my body arching up to meet him. I’m sensitive and aching and desperate for him, and that stroke sets my whole body alight.
“Oh fuck.” I get that much out before I’m lost in the slow, steady way he starts fucking me.
He takes my mouth in his, and then even if I could think I can’t possibly speak. Instead all I can think about is how good he feels - his thick, hard cock stretching me and taking me hard.
The desperate ache becomes endless, tantalizing pleasure, and I can feel that hot need building in me again, quicker this time. I hold onto him, clutching his shoulders as we kis
s and writhe together on the bed, my hips slipping and sliding against the already-sticky sheets.
I wrap my legs around his hips and he buries himself deeper, his grunts becoming harsher as he starts picking up the pace. He breaks the kiss to bury his mouth against my neck, nibbling and sucking and kissing there until I’m crying out with the hot shivers of pleasure he’s sending all through me.
“Josh…” I say. I keep saying it. Just over and over again as my eyes slip closed and I feel myself spiraling towards that endless explosion again.
My name is on his lips too, urging me on, cursing and claiming and telling me just how good I feel, my wet pussy wrapped around his cock and gripping him hard.
He shifts, just barely, changing the angle so he’s knocking against my clit with every thrust. That has me clenching and spasming around the thick pulsing of his cock inside me, and my breath gets lighter and higher as I get closer and closer to my peak.
“Come for me, Cassie.” His guttural voice sitrs me even further, and I can sense the last remnants of his control there. “I want to hear you scream my name.”
That’s enough to send me over the edge, and then I give him exactly what he demanded - screaming and crying out as everything inside me contracts and clamps down on that blissful hardness inside me.
My whole body surges with the waves of pleasure crashing through me, and I finally hear him grunt in my ear, as hearing me becomes too much for him to control himself any longer. He pulls out almost to the limit, then pounds into me again, once…twice…and fuckkk.
Streams of warmth hit me inside, and I shudder with the aftershocks as his cock pulses and throbs inside me. Our lips find each other again, even breathless and weak and totally spent. We can’t help it. We kiss desperately, our tongues joining every part of our bodies together, as we cling to each other while we come down from the intensity of that climax.
It takes a long time before we finally break apart, rolling to lie side-by-side as flashes of light prick the inside of my eyelids.
The air around us is blissfully cool, a relieving counterpoint to the heat of our bodies together and the sweat and passion between the sheets.
But I can’t imagine ever being cold again.
Our hands find each other, then our legs rub against one another, and within a few moments, my head is cradled against his shoulder again.
