All the Wrong Choices by C.A. Harms

Chapter Thirteen

Jonah

I knowI'm setting myself up for disaster. I'm saying a physical relationship will be enough, but I know I will want more. How can I not? Danielle intrigues me in every sense of the word. She is beautiful and strong; only she can't see that.

I want to know everything about her. I want to protect her and show her what it feels like to be someone’s all, but telling her those things will only make her run. So instead, for now, I’ll settle for what she has to offer me.

I don’t want to face the idea that in the end I may have nothing at all. So, for now, I'll give her what she wants or what she feels she needs. For now, I'll be satisfied with having only her body.

Bending down just enough to wrap my arms around her, I cup her ass and I begin to lift her off the stool. Immediately Dani wraps her legs around my waist, and I carry her to the couch. Sitting down, I position her in my lap, her legs straddling me. I continued to kiss her, my entire body reacting to the way her mouth moves with mine.

Jesus, the way she sucks on the tip of my tongue shoots through me like an electric current, settling in my lower stomach.

I'm already growing hard beneath her, and I know she feels it too when she begins to shift her hips, grinding against me.

"Should we slow down?" I ask, giving her one last chance to back out of this, she shakes her head, still holding her lips to mine.

"No," her words are muffled by our kiss, "we should speed it up."

I chuckle, loving her demanding tone.

When she reaches between us and breaks the barrier of my waistband, my stomach tenses. Feeling her needy hand curl around my erection and begin moving up and down, I know there isn't any chance of going back. So instead, I allow Danielle to have whatever she needs.

Every whimper that falls from her lips drives me further. Every shift of her hips has my heart racing with anticipation of her next move. She's heaven; I know I'll never be the same once I fully have her. She already has me thinking of things she said she wasn't willing to give, but I'm holding on to the hope she'll change her mind.

Dani begins to move off my lap, and I hold her hips, wanting her to stay. The friction between us feels amazing, and I don't want it to end. But when she is finally able to stand, I'm awestruck as I watch her slowly begin to lower her shorts. My breath leaves me in a rush when she stands before me with nothing more than a t-shirt and those fuzzy socks on her feet. I take the opportunity to slowly look over her, memorizing her body, every curve, every freckle.

As if that isn't enough to cripple me, she grips the bottom of her shirt and begins to lift it over her head. In that very second, I am completely lost. She is perfection, curvy hips, an hourglass figure, and her erect nipples begging for my mouth to explore them.

When she shifts her gaze down toward my lap, I take it as my invitation to remove the only barriers left between us. Before I do, I reach around and pull my wallet out of my pocket, removing a condom from the inner pocket.

I find her with her lower lip pinned seductively between her teeth, and I want to bite the lip myself. Danielle has the softest, most seductive lips.

Holding out the condom, she takes it from me, I reach over the back of my head and remove my shirt slowly, watching her eyes trace the outline of my torso. Hungry for more of her gaze I grab the waistband of my pants and begin lowering them. My cock springs free, and I notice her eyes sparkle as they take me in completely. She's pleased with what she sees, her lips tilting upward in a smile.

"I'm all yours," I hold out my hands to my sides and challenge her to take from me whatever she needs. She pauses but not for long before lowering herself to her knees and wrapping her hand around the base of my cock, slowly moving her soft warm hand up and down. My thighs tense, my eyes close but only for a moment as I take in the way it feels to have her touching me.

What surprises me the most is when she leans in and traces the head of my cock with the tip of her tongue. Without being able to control it, I lift my hips, and she takes me completely into her mouth. Applying just the right amount of suction with her warm wet mouth, I'm so close to losing my shit. I'm in awe of her, watching her work me in and out of her mouth slowly; looking up at me through her long dark lashes makes my entire body weak.

Lifting my hand to her face, I push back the hair that is obstructing my view and fuck, if watching her doesn't almost push me over the edge.

It's the most incredible moment, watching her work me over, kneeling before me completely naked and willing.

"You're killing me," I confess, not caring if she knows I'm at her mercy.

She moves her mouth off me and locks her mischievous eyes on mine. "I don’t know, you look pretty alert and alive to me." She is most definitely pleased with herself, and she should be. Hell, at this moment, I'm prepared to bow at her feet; she is a fucking goddess.

I continue to watch her as she carefully places the condom on me before standing once again. Slowly she crawls over me, hovering above, with her gorgeous tits in line with my mouth. I take the opportunity to suck on one and then the other, hearing her moan in delight.

Without warning, she seeks me out, and in one quick move, she takes me fully inside of her. Gripping her hips with force, I'm in need of a moment to gain some control. I can tell she really wants to move, with the slight shift of her hips fighting against my hold, but I need a damn minute. The last thing I want is the embarrassment of shooting off like a virginal teenage boy and have this ending before it even really gets started.

Needing a distraction from the way she is gripping my cock so tight, I wrap my hand around the back of her neck and pull her lips to mine. I get lost in our steamy kiss and eventually release my hold on her hips just before she begins to slide up and down my length. Slowly at first then her movements speed up, and we are both practically growling with the pleasure it creates. Looking down between us, I'm hypnotized by how she takes me inside her body only to rise once more, repeating her movements with purpose.

With her head thrown back, her cheeks reddening from her exertion, she is incredibly beautiful.

"So close," her words are a pant as her movements increase in speed and precision. I’m fascinated with her, completely and totally hooked on this woman. "Oh my God!" Her words coming out as a growl, she tightens around me and her intense grip on my shoulders bites into my flesh. Without being able to hold out another second, my stomach tightens, and I lift my hips up, driving into her deeper. The base of my spine starts to tingle as my own release makes my entire body tense with my release. Her pussy pulsing around my cock as she orgasms, and I grow weak as I sag back on the couch.

Laying over me, our bodies slick with a sheen of sweat, we simply breathe, trying to come back down from the extraordinary high we just experienced.

I leftDani's apartment last night feeling slightly discouraged. After our passionate and life-changing sex on her couch, she instantly shut down. She spent several minutes avoiding eye contact, and then when she was fully dressed and busying herself in the kitchen with cleaning things up, I knew she'd gone into defense mode.

Even if she'd felt anything, she wouldn't have admitted it.

She's been scorned, and the man who made what, in my opinion, is the worst mistake of his life, is a complete ass and now I'm left to suffer for it. I want more; I want dinners, and movies, then curling up on the couch and falling asleep with her warm body pressing to mine. But I know I'll only get the sex. It's all she can give. I just have to hope she can open up and see me as a man worth trusting. I'm the fucking girl in this situation, it seems, and let me just say, being the girl sucks. It makes me have a whole new respect for them.

When I left her place, it was done with an awkward kiss on her cheek and she had a forced smile on her lips. No promises of seeing me soon or I enjoyed tonight, just a drive safe with a click of the door as I stepped back out of the way.

I’m in my office, pacing the floor near the windows and holding my phone to my ear. After the third ring, Tony picks up. "Yo," his signature greeting whenever I call. "What's up?"

I take in a deep breath and just go for it, knowing I'll pay for it later. "I spent an unbelievable night with Dani last night, well, not even the night only a few hours before she practically shoved me out the door. Now I don't know where we stand. Should I call her? Should I just chalk it up as an incredible, mind-blowing sexual experience on the couch? Dude, I hate being the fucking girl."

I'm met with silence, but only for a few seconds before the sounds of my asshole best friend's uncontrollable laughter hits my ear. I had to pull the phone away from my ear; it's so loud. Okay, so it seems I'm going to start paying for it now. When will I learn?
