I click my seatbelt into place and lay my head on his shoulder In no time I’ve fallen asleep and I don’t wake up until the car stops in the garage

I sit up, blinking rapidly as the garage forms around me

“I’m so tired,” I whisper to Xander as we head into the house and then up the steps

He nods, opening the door toit behind us “I shouldn’t be, but I arees “I think now that the adrenaline has worn off I’ to set in how bad that could’ve been” He stares at me seriously “Come here,” he whispers, his voice husky

My heart stutters He has that look in his eye—the one that pros—and suddenly, I’m not so tired anymore

I take a step, and then another, until his hands grasp ainst his body My hands land on his chest and I look up at him a moment before his lips descend on mine He kisses me like he’s scared it’ll be the last time and I can taste the fear he held at bay while I was the one freaking out

He suddenly grows frantic, pulling my shirt up and off my body as he backs me into the bed

“Need you,” he whispers in between kisses “Right now” He reaches for his belt buckle while I kick off my shorts In only a few seconds’ time, there are no clothes left between us and we fall onto the bed, a tangle of lirab a condo out in relief There is no foreplay, we’re both too desperate I didn’t even know I needed this, but I did I so did

I grip his hair and his fingers dig into h to bruise We’re both frantic, close to losing our grip on reality in a matter of seconds It’s never been like this before—except for as, but I can only remember that in short blips—but I don’t mind it Sometimes you need slow, and other times you need to fuck hard, pure and simple

My back arches and I come He pumps intofor air, with our liether

I nuzzle my head into his neck andmore than to wrap my body around his and drift off to sleep for the rest of the day Alas, the real world beckons

We give ourselves a moment to catch our breath and then we head for the shower

We’re going to be more than a little late to the barbeque, which will probably piss my dad off, but it was unavoidable

Well, I uess the sex was technically avoidable, but after our day, I think we deserved a moment to ourselves

When I get out of the shower, I towel dry ather it up in a bun I don’t want to bother taking the tih-waisted shorts and a red crop top I grab my white Converse from my closet and sit down on my bed as I slip my feet into them
