Just Neighbors (BWWM)

Chapter 14

I rolled over underneath the sheets and stifled a yawn as my nose involuntarily inhaled the scent that was Jonathan. My lips curled into an automatic smile, my eyes still lightly closed from slumbering, as I reached out blindly and touched Jonathan's shoulder.

I scooted in closer towards his warmth until it completely enveloped my body in a second blanket. Sighing with content, I snuggled my head down in the nook between Jonathan's chest and my own for comfort.

Then suddenly, I felt him stir and run a hand up my thigh.

"You're awake?" I questioned sleepily as I looked up into Jonathan's hooded eyes.

"Mmhmm." He murmured and smiled down at me.

"What time is it?" I groaned as my eyes fluttered shut again.

"Almost six o'clock in the morning."

"WHAT?" I gasped, my eyes flying open.

"What's wrong?" Jonathan asked groggily and sat up as I scrambled out of bed.

"Where are my pants?" I asked frantically and glanced around Jonathan's room.

"You wore a dress, love." Jonathan chuckled and got up before bending down to pick up my crimson gown off the floor.

He held the garment out to me as I walked over to take it from him, looking down at in my hands and frowning.

"I can't go to work in this!" I exclaimed and placed a hand on my forehead in exasperation. "What am I gonna do?"

"You can wear something from my mom's closet." Jonathan suggested with a shrug and walked out of the room and down the hall. "I think you guys were about the same size." He shouted back at me and suddenly peeked his head around the door to give me a slow once over. "Definitely."

I looked down at my partially nude body and rose a brow at Jonathan but he had already disappeared down the hall again.

Moments later he came back with a handful of options and laid them out on the bed for me to see.

"I tried to pick out something work appropriate." Jonathan said and took a step back to look at his selections. "I personally like the black body con dress - and I think there's a blazer in there somewhere too so you can make it look more...professional."

I glanced over at him and rose an amused brow.

"You know fashion lingo?" I inquired and folded my arms over my chest.

"Mind you, I grew up with solely maternal influences." Jonathan replied with a chuckle. "I'm surprised I turned out to be this manly." He added as he flexed his biceps and triceps.

I stifled a laugh and rolled my eyes at Jonathan as he smiled down at his impeccably toned arm muscles.

"Yeah, okay." I scoffed and watched as Jonathan's face fell.

"What's so funny?" He asked as he walked over to me slowly. "I didn't hear you making fun of my 'manliness' last night." Jonathan whispered as he wrapped me in his arms and bent down to nip at my ear. "All I remember is hearing you scream my name."

"Quit it!" I yelped and began beating against Jonathan's shoulders as he pinned me up against the wall.

"Make me." He growled into my neck and lifted me up off the ground, my legs automatically wrapping around his waist.

"I have to get ready for work." I moaned in protest as Jonathan ground his hard bulge against my womanhood.

"No." He whispered in response and trailed kisses up my neck. "Stay."
