Thank you for the reviews. Things are about to get interesting for Jessie and Negan. Enjoy...
Negan stared at the page with a mixture of shock and awe written all over his face. On the paper before him was a very detailed pencil sketch of none other than himself. He assumed that it was from one of their many encounters down in the laundry room, but she had captured him perfectly. It was almost as though he was looking in a mirror if he'd had the same expression on his face. It was quite remarkable.
The drawing depicted him from his chest up, his signature charming smile plastered on his handsome face. His eyes lit up as he smiled, his gaze penetrating the viewer. He knew she must have drawn it from her impressive photographic memory, from a moment where he had been looking right at her. She even had the detail of his neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard down to perfection. Every little detail had been carefully drawn and he found himself wondering just how long she had spent on it.
"Wow" he exclaimed in a quiet whisper, not able to find any other words to describe it.
"That um… I can explain… uhhh, I know it seems a little creepy… um drawing you and all…" Jessie stuttered trying to get the words out to tell him exactly why there was a picture of him in her sketch book, other than the truth that she found him so damned hot she just couldn't help herself.
He chuckled in response to how tongue tied she was getting. "No need to explain Jess. I get it" he smiled.
"You do?"
"Of course… you think I'm sexy… hell I don't blame you. I'd make a pretty good model don't you think?" he chuckled, his tone confident like he knew he wasn't all that bad to look at but at the same time she could tell that he was joking around with her.
"You're an ass" she giggled.
"I bet you'd love to see that too huh. Want me to pose nude for your next drawing?" he teased.
Jessie's mind screamed 'fuck yes!' but luckily her brain to mouth filter was quick enough to shut that down. She opened her mouth to say something but no words came out.
"Oh now I have you all speechless… you're picturing me naked aren't you?" he laughed.
"I've seen enough" she countered, referring to their middle of the night exchange in the hallway when he was wearing just his briefs. 'God damn it' she scolded her filter, obviously it hadn't been quick enough to stop that one from slipping out.
"You sure about that?" he grinned cockily.
"I um… I-I…" Jessie stuttered, causing Negan to chuckle heartily.
"Relax Darlin'… I'm just fucking with you" he laughed. "You are too easy" he grinned.
"You wish I was easy" she countered with sass.
"Oh no Darlin'… I like you just the way you are" he smiled. "I love a good game of cat and mouse. The chase is thrilling… and sexy" he said, his grin growing wider.
"You are such a tease!"
"You don't know the half of it"
"I think I'm familiar enough with it" she smiled, hinting at the fact that all his innuendo and him walking around shirtless, or better yet near naked was a huge tease.
"Good to know Darlin'… good to know" he smiled as he glanced back down at the page. "But seriously, all jokes aside. This is fucking amazing! You have such talent" he smiled.
"Thank you" she grinned happily, as she quickly slid the book away from him before he had a chance to look any further through the pages.
"You hiding something else in there?" he asked, his eyebrow cocked in a way that she could only describe as downright sinfully sexy.
"Nope" she replied quickly as she hugged the book to her body. "Nothing… nope. There's no more to see" she tried to cover as she stood up.
"You're lying… I can see it in those beautiful blue eyes. What are you hiding from me Darlin'?" he asked as he stood with her, a devilish look plastered all over his sexy face.
"I'm not hiding anything. There's nothing you need to see" she told him.
"Oh I don't doubt that… but I'm picking there's something that I want to see" he grinned.
"Well… you can't see it" she told him as she made a run for it, and Negan was hot on her tail and she giggled in delight. Running down the hallway and into her room, Negan was close behind as he tackled her gently down onto the bed, tickling at her waist as she held the sketch book underneath her curled up body. "I'm not showing you" she giggled in protest as his fingers wormed their way under her tank top, delightfully tickling at her sensitive skin.
"You sure about that Darlin'… coz I am very skilled in the art of torturing someone to get what I want" he chuckled as he tickled her a little harder, avoiding her injured ribs, causing her to laugh even louder.
"I… I can't…" she choked out in between laughs.
"It's dirty isn't it" he teased. "You've got filthy drawings in there… aww Darlin' are you embarrassed" he chuckled. "Oh… are they of me?" he asked cockily as he continued his gentle assault on her body.
"No" she laughed. "They're not dirty… Please…." She giggled, the tickling almost unbearable but at the same time she felt a warmth spreading throughout her belly at the closeness of him, and his hands on her body began to excite her.
"Show me and I'll stop" Negan bargained.
"Never!" Jessie laughed as she tried to roll away from him, but only ended up pinned on her back, the sketch book still clung tightly in her arms.
"Alright… just remember, you brought this on yourself" Negan laughed. He knew he had the perfect opportunity to 'torture' her as her hands were too preoccupied grasping at the book to fight him off. Of course if she really wanted him to stop, all she had to do was say so and he would. But right now, her protests were just meaningless, she was betrayed by her infectious giggling and he loved how it just lit up her face. "Don't say I didn't warn you" he smiled as his hands went back to her sides and he slid her tank top up and continued to tickle at the sensitive flesh, earning him yet another beautiful laugh. Stepping it up just a little more he brought his face down upon her skin, his lips gently nipping at the flesh causing her to squirm and giggle beneath him.
"Negan… please…" she ground out between laughs.
"Agree to show me and this will all be over" he chuckled. If Jessie was being honest with herself she actually didn't want him to stop. The feeling of his hands on her body was already driving her wild and then he had to go and add his lips to the mix… that was just dangerous! She was getting more and more turned on by the second. She really liked Negan, and there was no doubt that she was very attracted to him, but she was worried about taking things too fast. But the more he touched her skin, the more that worry was fading away.
"You'll never break me" she giggled.
"Is that a challenge Darlin? Coz you ain't seen nothing yet" he smiled as he returned his mouth to her skin, nipping gently with his teeth as his beard scratched delightfully at her sensitive flesh leaving a fire in their wake.
"Ahh shit" Jessie laughed, "Okay… okay I give in…" she giggled, unable to take any more of his delightful torture.
"That wasn't so hard now was it?" Negan grinned in triumph. "Hand it over" he said with his hand outstretched as he sat down on her bed, helping her up.
"Fine…" she mumbled, her face already red with embarrassment at what he was about to see. Or was it because she was insanely turned on by him and was damn near on the brink of orgasm beneath him as he nipped deliciously at her exposed skin? Damn she had it bad. And damn it had been a while!
Negan flipped through the book until he got to the page in question. "This is what you were so scared to show me?" he asked as he eyed the drawing carefully. It was as though someone had taken a snapshot of one of their moments down in the laundry room. Jessie was perched on the table in her usual spot, and Negan stood between her legs his hand cupping her face as he pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. He remembered that moment like it was just yesterday. The image burned vividly in his mind, if he tried hard enough he could almost taste her on his lips. That moment had a huge effect on him, and clearly it had on her too.
"Not so much scared" she admitted. "More embarrassed" she laughed, ducking her head.
"Why would you be embarrassed?"
"I don't know… I guess I didn't want you thinking I was weird or creepy. Like some stalker that fantasises about kissing you in the laundry room" she laughed.
"Do you?" he asked as he looked at her seriously, confusion was written on her face, not really sure what he meant by the question.
"Do I what?"
"Do you fantasise about me?" he grinned cockily. He loved making her all flustered, she looked so damned cute.
"Shut up!" she laughed as she nudged him with her shoulder.
"If it helps… that picture is burned into my mind too" he admitted as she looked at him questioningly. It took all he had not to lean in and kiss her in that moment, but he didn't want to scare her off. After all that she had been through, he wanted to let her come to him. He enjoyed the thrill of the chase, but what he enjoyed even more was being so irresistible to a woman that she couldn't help but act on it. He would play this game for as long as it took if it meant she would give in to him.
Reaching up Jessie ran her fingertips across his salt and pepper beard until they reached his lips. She watched his lips part ever so slightly as her fingertips danced softly along them, his eyes watching her intently. Raising her eyes to meet his, she felt him smile softly beneath her fingers. "How are you so god damned attractive" she muttered as she returned her hand to his cheek and leaned in slowly, tentatively pressing her lips against his before drawing back to look him in the eye once more. There was no going back now…
I hope you liked this chapter, this is just a little taste of what is about to come... stay tuned!
