Because I can’t. Kissing him now is making that perfectly clear. It may be weak of me, stupid and dangerous. But I’m not strong enough to resist. I want Flyn. I need him.
Gray didn’t tell me to stay away. That’s going to have to be good enough.
A rustling noise by the door startles me. Flyn hears it too, because he breaks our kiss to look over his shoulder.
There, on the carpet, where it has just been shoved under the door, is a strip of three condoms still in their silver foil.
I hear Lello’s footsteps running away. Oh hells. This is the most embarrassing moment of my life, but Lello, bless him, has a point. Flyn would expect to use condoms. He doesn’t know about the paranormal world, let alone the whole ‘paranormals can’t carry or transmit human diseases’ thing.
My cheeks are burning. I remember Lello telling me in far too graphic detail about how he was curious about condoms and wanted to try them. I guess Carter indulged his mate, and these were left over.
Flyn chuckles warmly, and the sound eases the tension in my gut. I should have known he’d take it well.
Nevertheless, I close my eyes. “Can we go to yours?” I plead.
Flyn laughs again. “That’s the best idea you’ve ever had!”
I don’t know about that. But it’s a start.
Chapter eighteen
Flyn
Stepping into my apartment is a bit of a downer. It looks so small and dingy compared to Jade’s home. But Jade is here with me, and he doesn’t seem to mind at all. Besides, he has seen it before. He has even stayed the night, and that didn’t scare him off.
Tonight, he asked to come here. And I really, really hope it is so he can kiss me some more. In privacy this time.
I chuck my keys in the bowl on the side table. I turn towards Jade. He closes the distance between us, cups my face and smashes our lips together. A moan escapes me. The kiss seems to shoot straight down to my cock. Arousal, lust, desire, it all ignites. Suddenly, I am a raging inferno.
I kiss Jade back with all the passion in my soul, all the hunger in my heart. We stagger, still kissing, into the living room.
Jade pulls away, just a fraction. His forehead rests on mine.
“I want to fuck you,” he pants.
“Yes please!” I blurt.
He chuckles, then he is kissing me again. My hands move of their own accord. They start tearing Jade’s clothes off. He starts ripping mine off. We are working with no grace at all. Just fervor and need. It’s like our clothes are suddenly on fire and we need to get them off before we die.
Kissing while undressing is tricky business. But we are getting there, and oh my lord, seeing Jade’s body being revealed is throwing me into a swoon. His body is perfection. Gorgeous.A work of art. The type of body that is a travesty to cover up. Dimming such beauty behind cloth is surely sacrilege.
“Did you bring those condoms?” I gasp.
Jade blushes and nods before attacking my lips again.
Thank heavens for that, because I don’t think I have any condoms in my apartment. Well, perhaps some long expired ones. In my defense, I’ve been single forever, and I got tired of the hookup scene a long time ago.
I’ve got lube, though. It’s essential for solo self-care time, in my honest opinion, and now I’m going to get to use it for something a whole heap more fun. Having sex with Jade.
My head spins at that thought. I can barely believe that this is happening. Surely it is too good to be true?
Dimly, I’m aware we have made it to the bedroom. We are both naked. Things are looking really good.
I topple us onto the bed. Our limbs entwine. This must be what heaven feels like. My hands roam over Jade. His hands explore my body, and everywhere he touches me lights up as if he is leaving fire in his wake.
His lips leave mine and I nearly whimper in dismay.
“I… I want to top,” he all but whispers. His eyes are wide and dark. Cheeks flushed.
