“I’m protecting myself, Jasper.”
“From me?”
Lauren nods.
“You feel that spark, too, don’t you?” I ask, wondering if I’m alone in this?
“Yes,” she answers quietly.
“Where does this leave us then?”
“Same spot we were before. We can only have fun in the club.”
“So, I’m allowed to see you, but only in the club?”
“Yes.”
“What happens when we run into each other at an event like this?” I ask, wondering where our boundaries are.
“We are just acquaintances.”
“How can I sit across the dinner table from you and pretend I don’t know what it’s like to feel your pussy wrapped around my dick?”
“Jasper …” Lauren says my name in warning.
“An acquaintance doesn’t know the exact noise you make just before you come.”
“Jasper …” she says my name again.
“It’s been a month since I’ve been this close to you.” I reach out and tuck a bit of loose hair behind her ear. Her skin shivers against my touch.
“We can’t do anything.”
“I know. The fact you are thinking about doing something has me hard.”
Lauren’s eyes drop to my crotch before returning to my face. Her teeth sink into her bottom lip as if contemplating doing something.
“You want to feel how hard I am for you?” I ask, pushing the boundaries between us, unable to stop myself.
“Why are you torturing me?”
“Why are you torturing me?” I ask, repeating her question.
“I should go.” She stands up from the bench.
Lauren takes off my tuxedo jacket and places it back around my shoulders, which puts her breasts right in my face. Instinctively, I cup her ass as she stumbles between my legs.
“Jasper,” she squeals, her hands landing on my shoulders, knocking my jacket off them.
I look up at her, and everything stops. This insatiable need that has been burning in me all night is on the edge of exploding.
“We can’t,” she says, looking down at me. Lauren licks her lips, and I see her swallow hard as she reaches out, cups my cheek, and runs her thumb along my jaw. “Jasper, we can’t,” she says it again while her brows pull together.
“I know.” I let out a long breath.
Silence falls between us as the sexual tension builds. Both of us are standing on the edge, waiting for someone to jump first. I watch Lauren wrestle with her own desires as she nervously nibbles her bottom lip.
I’ll probably go to hell for this, but I can’t stand it any longer as I lift her and deposit her on my lap, her legs spread on either side. And that’s all I do. As I hold her against my aching cock, this new position brings us face to face.
