The Last Boyfriend (Forever Love #1)(24)
Author: J.S. Cooper

“Oh Lucky.” He moaned and I felt his hands in my hair.

“Hmmm.” I kissed back up his chest to his lips and started grinding on top of him. I smiled at the feel of his hardness beneath me and rocked back and forth as he kissed me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and dropped them to my ass until he was cupping my butt cheeks and pushing my down into him further. I reached down to his belt buckle, wanting to release his dragon, but Zane stopped me.

“No.” Zane rolled me back over and lay next to me, kissing my nose. “I don’t think this is a good idea.”

“What?” I sighed and leaned over to him. “Why not?”

“You’re not that type of girl.”

“What type of girl?”

“The type of girl that has casual sex without getting feelings.”

“What?” My cheeks flamed at his words.

“I’m not the guy for you, Lucky.” His eyes looked bleak. “I’m not looking for a happily ever after. I never want to get married.”

“You just want casual weekly sex?” I rolled away from him.

“No.” He sighed. “But I also don’t want a serious relationship.”

“Who says that is what I want?”

“I knew from the very first time that I saw you at Lou’s that you’re not the type of girl for a casual anything.” There was mirth in his voice. “Don’t be mad at me, Lucky.”

“I’m not mad.” I jumped up. “It’s whatever. I don’t need you to have sex with me.”

“It’s not that I don’t find you attractive, Lucky. You’re hot.” He sighed. “Shit. You just felt how much I want you.”

“Whatever.” I blushed.

“Wait.” He jumped off of the bed and pushed me against the wall. He then grabbed my hand and pulled it to his manhood. “You feel that?”

I nodded mutely, slightly angry, but totally turned on.

“I want to make love to you until you cry out my name, Lucky.” He whispered in my ear as my hand closed in on him through his pants. “I want you to take me in your hands and in your mouth. I want to feel myself in you. I want to make you blush as you come for me.”

My eyes widened at his words and then I felt his tongue in my ear and I felt even more turned on than I had been before. My hand dropped from his crotch and I ran my hands through his hair. I closed my eyes and reveled in the feelings he was awakening in my body. It had been too long since I had made love. I was feeling horny and my panties were starting to feel uncomfortable between my legs.

Zane pulled away from me and stared into my eyes. “You’re a special girl, Lucky, but I’m not the guy for you. I’m not going to take anything from you that I shouldn’t.”

“I’m not a virgin.” I whispered, wanting him to take me.

“Go and take a shower, Lucky.” Zane sighed and backed away from me. “We have a lot to do today.”

I looked at his face, embarrassment coloring mine. “Yeah. I need to let Maria and Shayla know I’m going to LA for a bit.”

“Lucky, if you don’t want to take this job, well, you can back out.”

“Do you want me to back out?” I questioned, holding my breath.

“No.” His eyes bore into me and I felt a secret thrill.

“So then I’m coming.”

“Did you withdraw from your classes?”

“I’m going to do it online today.” I tried to keep my breathing normalized. I was starting to feel slightly panicked. Maybe he didn’t want me to come anymore? I didn’t want to think about how much that hurt me. I didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that I was really starting to fall for him.

“Have you told your roommates?”

“Oh I forgot.” I slapped my hand against my mouth.

“Oh Lucky.” He smiled. “We can tell them when you come out of the shower.”

“Oh.” I bit my lip and stared at him. He looked so hot without his shirt on, but I knew I had to think about something else. “They’re going to think you stayed the night.”

“I did stay the night.”

“But they’re going to think we had sex.” I mouthed the last part.

“Are you scared to say sex, Lucky?” He moved in closer to me and winked. “We did very nearly have sex. Is that so bad?”

“You don’t understand.” I sighed. “I haven’t had sex in a while.”

He looked surprised at my statement and I continued. “I’ve been saving myself for a guy I think is worth it.” I flushed, hoping he didn’t draw any conclusions about my feelings for him from my statement.

“So you haven’t had sex in a while?” He smiled softly, and I blushed. “But you were going to have sex with me.”

“No.” I turned around quickly. “I’m going in the shower.”

“No what.”

“Just drop it, Zane.”

“I’ll never understand you, Lucky.” Zane shook his head and sighed. “You’re the most complicated girl I’ve ever met.”

“And that’s saying a lot.” I grinned and stuck my tongue out at him. He responded with a swift slap to my butt and I ran out of the door laughing, wondering, once again, what I was getting myself into.

“Would you like something to drink madam?” The flight attendant asked me, with a huge smile.

“Some water, please.” I smiled at her from the luxury of my first-class seat.

“And you sir?”

“I’ll have a rum and coke, please.”

I looked at Zane aghast. “You’re drinking?”

“Why shouldn’t I be?” He grinned at me and sat back.

“Weren’t you the one just telling me about alcohol this morning?”

“I told you it’s not smart to drink around shady guys.”

“Here’s your water ma’am, are you sure you don’t want anything else?”

“I’ll have a glass of champagne, please?” I looked at her uncertainly. Did they even have champagne on planes?

“Of course.”

“Alcohol?” Zane raised an eyebrow at me.

“I can hold my own around shady guys.” I smiled sweetly and turned to look out the window. I heard him chuckle and grinned to myself. “So where am I going to stay in LA and how much am I going to be making?”

“I’m surprised you haven’t asked before now.” Zane shook his head. “You’re way too trusting, Lucky.”
