Tangled in the Sheets 🔞

ALEX'S POV

I move closer, closing the small distance that once stood between us. "Can I—kiss you?"  I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

I can feel heat tingle in my face as I look into Jasper's absorbed honey brown eyes, his pupils dilated. For some untold truth, I'm drawn to Jasper with an intensity; maybe from the wine I've been drinking... or the alluring scent that's radiated off him since I arrived.

His hair shines in the golden light of the late sunset that shines through his apartment window. Light hues highlighted by the luminescence of the suns glow. His soft locks case the sides of his face; ending at his temples with a slight curl, the rest sweeping across his forehead.

I initially planned tonight's visit to discuss setting up an account in his name, where I could regularly deposit money to help him cover his bills and start preparing for the baby. I also wanted to address his living situation, since I'm not sure how he could possibly make room for a child in such a cramped space. These thoughts that pool in my brain seem to drift further away as I stare at the innocent-looking man in front of me, his soft features catching in the light.

"You didn't ask the last time you kissed me." I can feel embarrassment bubble in my stomach as the truth falls from his lips, his amused eyes matching my fierce ones through thick lashes.

That's right... last time, as he sat with me on this same couch open and vulnerable, sharing his life with me. I got know his bubbly personality; which somehow managed to survive what seemed like a terrible childhood based off his vague details. He opened his heart up to me for what he could, and saved the heavy details for another time, which I understand. I had felt so lost in the moment talking with him last time, that I felt like I had known him far longer than reality allowed.

My mind wanders to another time as I inhale the sweet air around us: the night I first encountered him. I should have recognized this addictive scent anywhere; pheromones pour from Jasper with each passing moment. I find my mind becoming a mess; completely overtaken by explicit musings.

I feel the overwhelming urge to lean over and rip his clothes off his body with every fiber of my being, my fingers trembling with desire. I want to pin him down on the couch, pressing my body against his as I fill him completely, losing myself in the depths of him until there's nothing left of me.

I resist the temptation momentarily and swallow back my tongue. "I should have." Is all I can muster out. I fight an internal war within me as my penetrating gaze at Jasper fills with hunger.

This time, unlike the last, Jasper takes the initiative. Leaning in close, his hot breath brushes against my lips, and he connects them. He tilts his head back and I take lead, deepening the kiss, losing myself in the way his lips mold to mine, so soft yet insistent.

I raise my hands; one cups the side of his face while the other desperately clings to his side. He opens his mouth allowing me entrance, and I slip my tongue inside, intwining it with his as they wrestle for dominance. A low, sultry moan emits from his throat and I move both my hands to his chest, pushing him back onto the couch.

He lands softly, our lips parting briefly, and I look ravenously at his wet lips glistening in the light. They are slightly parted in the middle, and his breaths come out in small, desperate pants, sending a thrill through me. I meet his eyes, the intensity between us igniting with shared desire as we lock eyes, both craving what's to come.
