Why they weren't together I didn’t know. I could tell how painful it was for her to be around him. There was always this kind of tension between them. Plus he knew far too much about her to just be a co-worker thing.
“Do you love him?”
I had to ask. I needed to know. I wasn’t sure how I felt about sharing Jack with someone else besides Kyren, but if I was going to, I didn’t want to be blind sided.
Jack stared down at our joined hands, her finger tapping on top of mine. “I don’t know.” Her gaze lifted to mine. “I did once. And I still feel something for him, but how many times can you get rejected before your heart has finally had enough?”
“I’ll have to let you know.” I gave her a sad smile.
“Oh, Tate.” She stood and cupped my face in her hands. “I’m not rejecting you. It’s just...”
“Complicated.” I smiled and kissed the palm of her hand. “I know.”
I used one hand to twist the desk’s top to the side and the other to drag her down into my lap, earning me a squeal. I wrapped my arms firmly around her waist, holding her to me.
Her hands dropped my shoulders, but she didn’t try to escape.
My forehead pressed to hers. “I miss you.”
“I miss you. too.” Jack wrapped her arms around my neck.
We sat there for a long moment, just breathing each other in.
“He misses you, too, you know,” I said softly. “I can tell. Kyren hasn’t been the same since he found out. He's been broody, pensive.”
Jack chuckled. “As opposed to his usually cheerful personality?”
I grinned. “It gets easier to tell the longer you're around him.”
“I could see that.” She sighed and moved to get up, but I held tight. “Tate... let go.”
“Not yet.” I brushed my nose against hers. “This is the closest I’ve gotten to you in days. Just give me a minute.”
“This is only going to make things harder for us,” Jack stated, but relaxed into my embrace. Her eyes trailed over my face, thumb brushing against the metal of my lip piercing.
I licked that thumb.
Jack cried out in surprise, then pulled her hand back with a grin. Eyes lock with mine, she lifted the thumb to her mouth and sucked the taste of me off the digit.
“You’re killing me, princess,” I groaned, growing hard beneath the soft press of her ass.
Her eyes flicked to my lips and then back to my eyes, a decision circling in her gaze. The moment her hips shifted in my lap, I knew she’d made her decision.
“Fuck it.”
Jack’s mouth claimed mine, arms closing in bringing her body closer to mine.
Not wanting to or able to resist her, I cupped her hips, our mouths trying to get closer even when our bodies couldn’t.
Her hands grabbed my braids tight. A low growl trickled from me. I lifted her until her legs straddled my hips, pressing my aching cock against her hot center.
Jack pulled back from the kiss with a gasp. Her eyes hot on mine, she rocked herself back and forth in my lap. Each low pant and moan came with each swipe of her quickly wetting pussy along the front of my pants.
I hooked my fingers onto the top of her tight shorts, eyes locked with hers, waiting for her to stop me. When she didn’t, I stood, holding her against my front as I dragged her shorts and panties down her legs. Then I sat her on the edge of the teacher's desk.
“Wait.” Jack pressed a hand to my chest. “We shouldn’t. If Kyren and I never... If we... This will just be harder for both of us in the long run.”
I fell to my knees before her, my lips pressed to the inside of her knee.
