I grip the wooden handle of the chair, my knuckles blanching white with the tightness of the grip as my emotions battle each other. It flows through me like lava, and I’m both aroused and pissed off.
I hate that Jasper’s had another man before. Which is stupid to feel that way. He’s had men and women. But there’s something about knowing that Jasper has pleasured another man, just like he so easily pleasured me, has me seeing red.
Major side-eyes me then looks back at Jasper, as he taunts us with his dare.
You could hear a star falling with how silent the space around us is.
“I dare you to kiss Abby.”
Abby’s breath hitches as her gaze snaps to Majors then flickers over to mine. I appraise her to see her reaction because I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable, but based on her flushed cheeks and that nibble at the corner of her mouth, she looks far from it.
A smile spreads across Jasper’s face as he looks directly at me, one eyebrow raises to the top of his forehead, as if to remind me of hisI’m going to kiss hercomment from earlier today.
Too late, I kissed her first, sucker.
I smile back mirroring his expression, challenging him to complete his dare.
Jasper leans forward, picking up a mint leaf I placed on the fruit platter and places it on his tongue before chewing then swallows as he turns toward Abby. “So what do you say? You good with that, pumpkin?”
Her eyes flicker over to mine again with a questionable look behind them, as if she’s checking to see if I’m upset. But she won’t find that. She’ll only find the same need and yearning that matches hers.
Leaning forward, I place my elbows on my thighs because everything in me is engaged in her, in them. I smother a smile but not enough to hide the inevitable smirk as we pass each other knowing glances.
Her lips squeeze together, forming a tight line as she looks back at Jasper and softly nods.
“Thank fucking god.” Jasper pushes himself forward, pressing one knee into the couch as he hovers over her. He cups her cheeks with both hands, using a gentle grip to pull her toward him.
She sits taller, meeting him halfway, as he tenderly presses his lips to hers.
His eyes squeeze tight, like this kiss is as painful as it is pleasurable.
And it’s as if they can read each other without words, because their lips part naturally and their tongues clash together perfectly in line with each other. A synchronized moan passes between them as their kiss morphs from a soft, desperate one to a passionate, more demanding one.
Major and I match our movement as we lean closer, needing to take in more of the view, needing to get closer to feel the same sensation they are.
It’s a kiss. People kiss all the time. But this…this could suck the soul from your body and bring you back from the dead simultaneously.
It’s the same sensation I had when we had our kiss, like I could feel the half of my heart that I thought was dead come back to life.
Jaspers hand trails to the nape of her neck, allowing him to pull her even deeper and their bodies are now flush together. His hips push forward as she circles hers and a guttural groan comes from somewhere in the middle of Jasper’s body.
He pulls back, hissing. His gaze urgently bounces between her eyes and mouth, then he pulls her back into him, desperate for more.
“Mmmm,” Abby moans, and the sound goes straight to my cock. Major shifts back in his seat and clears his throat loudly, attempting to remind them of where they are.
Jasper blindly points at him without stopping the kiss, then says, “Don’t do that. Don’t play the cut-off music.”
Abby giggles and tosses her head back. Jasper groans again, this time it sounds happy and playful. Like he just took a bite of a Michelin star dessert and it was the best thing he’s ever eaten. His arms are still wrapped around her as he squeezes her like he never wants to let her go. He nuzzles into her neck, whispering something I can’t hear, then finally loosens his embrace enough for them to pull back and gaze into each other's eyes.
Jasper doesn’t waste any time. “Truth or Dare?”
A lengthy pause passes between them. Abby purses her lips and blows out a silent breath, sneaking glances at both me and Major.
“God, I’m going to regret this.” She shakes her head as she softly closes her eyes and huffs out a breath. “Dare.”
Jasper's face splits into another mile wide smile. His neck swivels slightly in my direction, side-eying me, then his gaze shifts back on Abby.
“I dare you to kiss Wade.”
