Into the Storm

Chapter 12 | Who Hurt You?

JADE

Hiero had a key. Maia's key.
"My camera is stashed in her room. I still have the key." He spoke fast and out of breath for my reassurance. I never thought anything else. I can't think of anything else but the one obvious possibility that would come along with that key. I nodded breathlessly and he intertwined our fingers and lead me up the stairs. I stopped at the stop of the last step up the staircase and he felt his arm stretch out a little. He stopped and turn to me putting his hand on my cheek.
"Hey." He whispered looking into my eyes with concern. "You okay? We can go back down, yeah?" Fuck. He's so sweet.
I wasn't sure of doing this, but for the first time in our friendship, I hated being mad at him. His eyes dropped to my lips and I bit mine looking at his. His eyes danced around my face and I pulled him into me again. Before I knew it, my back was pressed against Maia's bedroom door and I could feel Hiero struggling with the key to open it. I took the key from his hand and I turned the lock with key. He snaked his arms around me from behind as I unlocked the door. I set the key on the night stand as Hiero sat on the bed. I climbed on top of him in a straddle and grabbed his face into mine. I quickly got off and pulled him by his hoodie as I walked backward into Jades bedroom bathroom. Hiero lifted me by my ass to the counter and I wrapped my legs around him. Our lips never left from touching. I struggled to untie the knot on his black sweatpants. He gently shoved my hand away to help me. I watch him for a second before I jumped off and sat on the porcelain lid of the toilet.
I shifted my eyes down at him asking in mental permission. Out of breath and a blush, Hiero half smiled trying to hide a smirk. "Yes-Shay-Please." He begged more than he was giving me permission and I licked my lips with a small smile. I know this was probably the liquor hitting me now, because all I wanted to do after taking him in my mouth was lay on Maia's bed and -
My mind was clouded from whatever the hell just happened outside. It happened in front of everyone and there was no pretending if I showed any emotion. I know I made a complete fool of my self. What the fuck was I thinking? What a fucking hell of a distraction from just dealing with Darren. Hiero's hands were entangled through my hair in a soft grip as I held onto the backs of his thighs.
"Shit, Shay." He let out in a moan.
My hand fit perfectly as I wrapped around half of his length as I shifted my eyes up at him. His mouth opened for an inhale and his eyes closed as he let out a moan. When he opened his eyes again, he gritted his teeth when he felt the way my tongue shifted against him and his grip through my hair tightened as I moved faster against him. His emerald drunk off sex eyes were staring down at me like he was thinking of other things he wanted to do to me. I would lose my control and risk my heart being hurt.
I stopped myself at the end of my thought. I gently backed my mouth off of him. I immediately felt my arms and my waist being guided up to stand.
"Shay?" He whispered and he put his hand under my chin. "What's wrong?" He lowered his head to look into my eyes. He raised his brows in concern. He tucked the hair behind my ear. He slid his boxer briefs and his black sweats back on.
"I need to get out of here. No. Wait. You can go if you want, Hiero."
"What? No. I'm not leaving here without you."
"Hiero, we came together, but we aren't together." The words killed me to say and his brows lower and his breath grew faster. His long lashes and his emerald eyes were killing me as he looked at me. His eyebrows raised and he inhaled a breath. I know he was affected by the words that flew out of my mouth. I watched his lips let out a soft exhale as he still stared at my lips. He took a step toward me and I pulled him into me by the front fabric of his white hoodie. I felt the wall against my back and I lifted my foot to rest it on the closed lid of the toilet. He gripped my thigh and I felt his hand run over my thigh to my hip as he snaked his fingers through from the bottom of my shorts. I became more out of breath as I felt his fingers snake to the front of me in between my thighs. A finger hooked to the lace of my panties and moved it aside. I exhaled a soft moan as his finger gently grazed through to feel me.
"Shit, Shay." He could barely get out. "You're so.." We both let out a moan as he said the word. "Tell me you didn't want me to feel you like this outside just now, Shay? That you didn't want me to do this to you."
I moaned and I nodded as I could feel the tip of his length touching in replacement of his finger. I nodded and my mind was becoming clouded again.
My eyes opened and I realized that I was pinned against the wall. I couldn't lose control. I was still a bit bitter from the red headed bitch at the office supply store. I took my foot down from the porcelain and I pushed him away by his chest. He put his hands up in a stop motion As he caught his balance on his foot, and froze worried the next move I was about to make. Frustrated, he picked his sweats back up from his sides and ran his fingers through his hair in a grip.
"Okay. Jade!" He put a hand out to stop the situation. "Olivia.. is not my ex-girlfriend. She's not my anything." He started to count with his fingers. "I never dated her, fucked her, kissed her, touched her, wanted her, let alone thought about her. She's a friend of my family, and that's it."
I fixed my shorts and sat on down on the cold lid of the toilet. I must have given this guy blue balls two times in a row just now. He never took his eyes off me as he stared at me with worry. He leaned his head into me and raised his eyebrows waiting for a response from me.
"Im sorry I stopped you. I can't give you what you want right now. I just don't want to do this right now. You can go. It's fine, R.T. I'll just see you downstairs, or at work."
He lowered his brow and narrowed his eyes at me, "R.T.? See me at work?" He said slow and firmly. It was more of a statement than a question. I stayed quiet. He leaned against the counter of the sink and rubbed his eyes.
"Who hurt you?" he turned his head to me.
"What?" I asked.
"Wait. Let me get this straight. You think I'm mad? Because you don't want have sex right now? You think I'm gonna leave and throw a big fucked up tantrum, don't you?"
Bingo.
I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't say anything. His mouth opened in surprise and he brought his hand to rub his chin once. I swallowed quickly holding back the lump in my throat.
"Jade. I am not gonna be one of those douche fuckers that don't want to stick around when shit doesn't go their way and they don't get what they want. I have what I want. It's untouchable. It's right there and I can't touch it. But I'm not gonna run. I am, however, gonna go get my camera from the dresser and fix the film, sit back downstairs with our friends, and have a good time."
I felt like an asshole. "Can you still take me home?" I asked shyly.
Hiero let out a small laugh and he put his hands on my face. "I am crazy about you, Jade. Why wouldn't I?"
