"We're all alone Damon... I think we are both lonely and desperate for each other. So, do you want to come later?"
"Yes. I... I'd love to."
"I'll be waiting."
I walk out, shaking from my boldness. I go to my room and get ready for Damon. Why am I so nervous? It's not like it's my first time. Soon, there's a knock at my door and a nervous Damon enters my bedroom. "Wow."
"Like what you see?"
"Yes. I mean, you're so gorgeous, and..."
"And you're still hesitant?"
"Come on, Jalissa. You know we shouldn't be doing this."
"But you said you're leaving Kara anyway?"
"Yes, but..."
"Damon... You're the nicest guy I've ever met. I really, really like you... Are you even being honest about what you think of me? Do you really find me attractive?"
"Of course. Why would I lie?"
"Then, why don't you make it happen? There's no reason to hold back. I want to kiss you so badly right now."
"Oh, God..." Damon pulls me in and kisses me. While his lips are on mine, his hands explore my body. I know we'll go places tonight...
I know it from the way he's holding me, pushing his body against mine. I know it until... the doorbell rings! "Who could that be?"
"Uh... I don't know. I'll check it out."
Damon leaves, still looking flustered from our kiss.
Maybe I should see who's here. I slip on something casual. When I get to the living room, Damon is talking to someone I've never met. "Oh, Cody... I forgot you were supposed to pick me up."
"I thought you're all set."
"I don't feel like going out tonight."
"Why?"
"Umm... change of plans."
"Come on! You said your old lady is gone. You can't just change plans last minute. Not cool, bro.'"
"I can't."
"Remember when you stayed at my house during the storm? Or when I helped you land that party? Or when we..."
"Alright, I'm going."
Damon laughs, but looks annoyed. I sneak out before any of them see me.
Back in my room, staying home alone feels awful. So... I decided to see if I could join them. Fully made up, I went downstairs. "Hi guys!"
"Oh, hi there!"
Damon's friend looks hot too.
"What are you doing here, Jalissa?"
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Oh, come on!"
"Fine, I'm telling her that you let a stranger in her house."
"Jalissa, this is Cody. Cody, this is Jalissa, my, uh, stepdaughter. And since I know what kind of trash you are, she's off-limits."
"That's a pretty s**t accusation, Damon. You know I'm an angel."
"You should try looking at the mirror. Jalissa, I'm going to get ready. Don't let him destroy the house."
"I'll try."
Damon goes upstairs, leaving me alone with Cody. "Hope you know CPR."
"What?"
"Because you're taking my breath away."
"Are you, like twelve?"
"No, why would you say that?"
"Because you sound like a middle-schooler looking for a date."
"Well, I might look young compared to Damon, but... I'm actually 28. Five years younger than Damon."
"So, do you want a prize for that?"
"No."
"Good." We fall into silence until Cody's corny line gave me an idea. "So, you're pretty close to Damon, huh?"
"Yeah, he's like an older brother. We got a lot in common, except..."
"Except?"
"I'm twice as agile in bed."
Cody winks seductively. "How would you know?"
"I hear it from the girls."
"You slept with the girls who slept with them?"
"Sharing is caring."
Damon came downstairs, looking hot as ever. "Let's go, dude."
"I'm going."
"No, you're staying here."
"Why? I'm not a kid, I'm 22. I can even order my own drinks."
"Let her join us."
"No. Jalissa is staying here."
"Why? Are you afraid I'll catch you cheating on my mom?"
He laughs uncomfortably. "No, of course not. That's stupid."
"There's no reason for me to stay home."
"Come on! We need to go before you ruin our plans, Damon."
"Okay, fine. Let's go."
"All of us?"
"Yes, even you."
Cody laughed. "Awesome! I'll get us a ride." He glances at his phone. "Oh s**t, the signa is bad here. I'll be back."
Damon raises an eyebrow when we're alone. "You're such a rebel, aren't you?"
"Don't you think I'm worth the trouble?"
He looks at me, stepping close and gives me a quick kiss. He smells so damn good.
"Holy s**t, I haven't had a drink and I almost thought you guys kissed."
"That's weird." Damon said laughing.
"I know, right? I need to get laid tonight." I follow them outside, checking my phone.
Hailey: Want to go to Bailey's Ice Cream?
Jalissa: No, I've already made plans.
Hailey: With Mike?
Jalissa: No. With someone better than Mike
Hailey: Do u mean it? Or just trying to hide ur feelings?
Jalissa: I mean it :)
Jalissa: He's hotter, sexier, sweeter and kinder. Total upgrade
Hailey: Ooo! It's good you found someone special. Have fun!
Jalissa: U too!
Soon, we arrive at a popular club downtown. While we're sipping our drinks, Cody is looking around the room. He points at a girl who's alone. "You think I should hit that?"
"I don't know. What do you like about her?"
"She looks fun to cuddle."
Just as I take a shot, Damon grabs my arm. "Don't drink."
"Why?"
"I don't want to babysit an intoxicated girl."
"Wouldn't that be fun?"
"No. Drinking can make people do things they later regret."
"You're starting to sound like my mom."
"Does she drink like this?"
Smirking, he took his drink and finished it in one sip. "Wow."
"Guess not."
He orders another one with a smug look. He then leans in to whisper, "I'd never go to bed with an intoxicated girl."
"Oh!"
"What are you whispering about?"
Damon looked at Cody and smirked. "Just bragging. I'm known as someone who can tolerate alcohol without doing stupid shit."
"Nah, just makin' that up. He's just conflicted about not letting you drink. "
"Shut up, Cody!"
"You know what I said was true."
"Oh, s**t! Kara's calling me."
"The old lady?"
"Don't call her that. But yeah. I need to go outside. Be back."
"Okay."
"Cody, look over Jalissa."
"Got it."
I roll my eyes at Damon as he leaves. "Want some?" Cody pushes a glass towards me. I take his drink and gulp it down.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"You're quite bad, aren't you?"
He winks at me. "I just think life is short. That's why I got Damon as a bro. He keeps me in check."
"You're crazy."
He laughs, then reaches in his pocket. "How about chocolate?"
"I can't reject that."
It doesn't look suspicious, but I decide to wait until Damon comes back. Cody doesn't seem trustworthy.
"Have you ever thought about how many calories are in chocolate?"
"Sometimes. But I'm like screw it!"
"Kissing can burn 2-6 calories per minute. How about a workout?"
"Don't tell me this was one of your cheap pick up lines."
"Is it working?"
"Sure." I lean in to kiss Cody and he kisses me back. It's almost too rough. He gently bites my lip and slips his tongue in my mouth. It feels great but he stops. "Ooo, you're on fire. Wanna go to my place? We can do a lot more than just kissing. What do you think?"
I'm still shocked when Damon comes back. "What are you guys taking about?"
"Cody just asked me..."
"Nothing! Just chatting."
"Dude, there's a blonde sitting there, she's been looking at you for a while. Didn't you get the hint?"
"Um, I was... busy. My phone... it's..."
"What?"
Damon looks at him weirdly.
"Acting up. My phone is acting up. But it's all good now."
"Okay, why don't you find yourself a girl now? That's why you came, right?"
"Right. Wish me luck!"
"Yeah."
Cody winks and disappears. Damon orders another drink, then downs another. "He tried to hit on you, didn't he?"
"Umm... how did you know?"
"I know Cody." Damon looks a bit jealous.
"Well, I'm still here, am I not? Are you sure you want another drink? You look drunk, it concerns me."
"I'm an adult. I know what I want."
"So you want to die from alcohol?"
"No, why would I want that?"
"Then stop drinking like this. It's scary!"
"I just... I want to be dumb. Because I can't stop looking at you. Wanting you. And I literally talked to Kara 5 minutes ago. Do you know how screwed up this is for me?"
"Oh."
"And I saw how Cody looked at you. You deserve someone better than him. We became friends during my womanizing days. But he never changed, unlike me."
"So, you were a womanizer?"
"I was just like him. Not something I'm proud of. But I grew out of it."
"Why did you change?"
"I wanted to find a meaning in my life. Once I reached my thirties, I knew how stupid it all was to just smash and go, get numb and forget everything."
"But you're trying to get numb tonight."
"Yeah, it's... complicated. You know my reasons."
"I understand."
He looks around, and nods toward the the exit. "Cody's gone with that girl. Let's go home."
"Oh! Sure."
I follow him outside and he gets us a ride.
We get in the house.. I go toward my room, but Damon takes my hand. "Jalissa, wait!"
"What..."
Before I can ask, he kisses me with all the passion during the night. It's even more desperate than earlier. I know he wants it.
"I... I'm sorry. But damn, I want you."
"Her?"
"Right here, right now. If you still want me."
I give him a seductive smile before kissing him again. "You know I do. I've been undressing you all night."
"Naughty girl." He helps me take off my clothes before we lay on the couch. Soon, we're ready for each other. I can't stop kissing him, and I can't stop running my hands along his body. His muscles are rock hard, just like his erection. I wrap my legs around him, welcoming him. We're too horny to take it easy... but it's just what I needed after being aroused for hours.
We finish within minutes and make a lazy attempt to put some clothes on. Damon runs one hand through his hair, still out of breath. "That was hot and quick."
"Yeah. I can't believe we actually did it. Wow. Now what?"
"Want to have another go? Maybe we can go somewhere more comfortable and make it last longer."
"I'd love to. Follow me."
We go to my room, and I start kissing him. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Absolutely. My bed is a lot more comfortable."
"We should do it here... for a practical purpose. To better keep it our dirty little secret."
"You're more fun once you've had a drink." I touch his crotch again, feeling him up until he's hard again.
"And you're always naughty. Damn, I hope we don't regret this in the morning."
"We won't. I'll clean up everything tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then. Come here, you little seductress."
Damon kisses me again, and he doesn't stay on my lips. He kisses my neck, trailing his tongue along my collarbone and lower. My excitement builds up as he kisses my breasts, teasingly tugging at my bra with his teeth but leaving it in place.
He explores every inch of me, down to my naval and lower, running his hand across my underwear and it's amazing! "Mmm... I already feel like I know your body. I know what you want. And I know exactly how to give it to you."
"I can't believe Cody said you were bad in bed."
Damon laughs, then kisses my lips, propping himself above me. "He said that? He's a jealous little bastard sometimes. But thanks for motivating me to prove otherwise."
I slowly ran my fingers across his biceps then his back. I pull at his boxers to get him naked, but he moves my hand. "You're so thirsty, aren't you?"
"Well, you're hot. And you drive me crazy."
"I'm just warming up."
He moves lower, undressing me completely with practiced moves and gets himself naked. I told on to the bedsheets as his mouth is between my legs. I don't know if alcohol play a role, but he's a different version of himself. He's so much dirtier. He's dominant. He's perfect. Everything I ever wanted in a man. He moves back up and enters me. "Don't hold back, Jalissa. You can get as loud as you'd like." He whispered in my ear.
I struggle to take in all of the feelings. Damon is on top of me, kissing me on my bed and I stole him away. I can't even think about it. It's so wrong, yet so right. But Damon picks up speed, and all worries are gone. All I can think of is pleasure and how good he feels, how soft his lips are and how mesmerizing his eyes are. I get lost in it all and so does he. We keep moving and he shows me how good s*x can be and makes it even better. By the time we are done, it's nearly dawn.
We're getting ready to go to sleep, side by side. "You liked that?"
"Yes. You were... amazing."
"Good. You were as well. Come here." Damon pulls me closer and hugs me. We cuddle in silence and he kisses my forehead. "Goodnight, Jalissa."
"Goodnight, Damon."
In his arms, I fall asleep.
*** The next morning: I was woken by the sound of my phone. Tiredly, I look at the screen, and I'm woken up.
Hailey: How was the s*x? Great or average?
What the... How does she know I had s*x with Damon? Did she spy on us while we were on the couch?!
