As soon as they were in her room, Hamilton locked the door and Jake grabbed an extra blanket from the bed. She laid it out on the floor and unpacked their dinners while Hamilton rummaged through her CD collection.
Sitting on the floor, Jake watched Hamilton as he started the music. It was a pretty basic task, putting a CD in the player and pushing a button, but she was amazed at how he made every little thing seem sexy. The way his long, elegant fingers held the CD. The way the muscles in his arms and legs moved and flexed as he reached across her desk. The delicious curves and contours of his body that his crew shorts and tank top exposed.
{Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe him. Inside and out. He's incredibly sweet and sensitive, intelligent and funny. He could probably have any girl he wanted and I know of at least two that want him. So why is he here with a freak like me? I've gotten myself into a situation where I can't look or act like a girl, so why on earth would he want to be here? He could be with some pretty blond who can walk around showing off her figure and not be stuck with someone whose family issues caused him to doubt his own sexuality...}
Hamilton heard Jake's thoughts, but kept himself busy at her desk to have a moment to think as well. It bothered him that she felt so bad about herself. How could anyone make him feel the way he felt over the past few weeks and think of herself as a freak? Yes, this was an unusual situation, but those other girls weren't any prettier than Jake. They were just able to show it off more than Jake's situation allowed. She was beautiful and he was crazy about her. Now he just needed to convince her of that...
Hamilton joined Jake on the blanket.
"Hungry?" She asked. {You're always hungry.}
"Yes. But not for burgers or fries." He replied, grinning wickedly.
"Oh, really?" {Is this Hamilton code for making out or something else?} "So, what are you hungry for..."
He cut her off. "Did you know that you have beautiful eyes?"
What? Jake blushed as he kneeled in front of her and placed butterfly kisses on her eyelids. {Oh, wow.}
"Hamilton..."
He cut her off again. "Did you know that you have an adorable nose?" Before she could answer, he kissed her on the nose. {He's so sweet.}
"Ham..."
"Or that you have an incredibly sexy neck?" He trailed wet kisses down her neck. {Oh, yeah...}
"H..."
"And beautiful hands." He kissed the back of both hands and then each fingertip individually. {I may burst into flames!}
He pushed up the sleeve of her sweatshirt. "And wrists." He kissed all the way around each wrist. {Oh my god.}
Jake realized he had stopped. "What's wrong?" {Please don't let something be wrong. Please don't stop.}
"Nothing," he said with a smirk. "I just ran out of exposed skin."
"I can fix that. Be right back." {I'll fix it...just don't lose that train of thought!} She jumped up and went to the dresser. She pulled something out of the drawer and went to the closet. Changing behind the closet door, she removed the bulky sweatshirt, her T-shirt and the corset, and put on a dark blue tank top in their place. She tossed the shirts in the closet and went back to the blanket.
She noticed that Hamilton had moved the untouched food out of the way. She sat across from him and couldn't help but smile when she saw his admiring gaze.
"Is this better?" She asked. {Lots more places to kiss now.}
"Much." His eyes traveled over the tank top and lingered at her chest. "So, where was I?" {You were kissing my wrists.}
"I forgot. You'll have to remind me." {I won't mind if you go back and start all over.}
"I think, I said you had beautiful wrists, but now I see that you have lovely arms as well."
He held her hand and kneeled before her again. Starting at her wrist, he trailed warm, wet kisses all the way up her arm. He stopped at her shoulder and then gave her other arm the same attention.
Ooooooh...was Jake's only thought as shivers raced down her spine.
Crawling around so that he was behind her, he put his hands on her waist and whispered in her ear, "and such smooth shoulders." He planted kisses across each shoulder and then on the back of her neck.
{Oh my god, I'm gonna melt.}
He pulled her against him and rested his chin on her shoulder. He spoke softly into her ear again.
"Jake, I want you to know that I am crazy about you. From the moment we met, I knew there was something special between us. So special that I was ready to accept that I was gay, even though I had never thought twice about another guy before. I think you are beautiful and sexy regardless of what you're wearing. I know who you are, what other people see isn't important. In my eyes, you are the prettiest girl around. No one else makes me feel the way you do." {I love you so much! I think I'm going to cry.}
Jake could feel tears forming and wiped at them with her hands. This was not the time to cry, even if they were happy tears. She hated that he could hear all of her thoughts, but maybe just this once it had been a good thing. More than anything, she needed to hear the words he had spoken. She needed to feel loved and special and pretty. She needed to feel like she was the center of someone's attention.
"Thank you, Hamilton. That means so much to me. You mean so much to me..."
He turned her around to face him. "Shhh." He put his fingers to her lips to quiet her.
"This is beautiful, too." He said, as he leaned to place kisses along her collarbone and in the hollow of her throat. {I've died and gone to heaven.}
Hamilton smiled as he moved up her throat and then kissed under her chin. He traced her jaw line and left kisses behind each ear. He kissed his way to her forehead, before resting his against hers.
She opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" {Why do you keep stopping?}
He sat back on his heels and grinned. "I ran out of exposed skin again."
Jake's smile lit up her face. {I know just how to fix that.} "Give me ten minutes?" She asked.
"What?" He looked confused as she got up and started collecting things from her dresser. She walked back to the closet, retrieved her sweatshirt and corset and put them back on. "What are you doing?"
"Trust me. I'll be back in ten minutes." {You won't be sorry - I hope.} She smiled and gave him a quick kiss before dashing out the door.
Jake forced herself to walk, not run, down the hallway to the bathroom. The halls were deserted and Jake found the bathroom empty as well. Heading for the showers, Jake stepped into the shower stall and undressed quickly, careful to hide her clothes under her towel when she hung them on the hook outside the shower stall. She reached for her soap and started lathering her skin.
{I'm sooo glad I shaved this morning!}
Hamilton was left to sit in Jake's room and wonder what she was doing. He idly replayed the last few hours of the day in his mind, including when Megan and Samantha has flirted with him after practice. "Practice...I never got a chance to clean up after practice!" He went to Jake's desk and scribbled a note. Leaving it on the bed, he left the room and headed for the bathroom.
Hamilton opened his locker in the shower area of the bathroom. The lockers were there for the staff members who also coached sports to keep extra changes of clothing, gym bags, and the like. Hamilton, who preferred hanging out in the dorm as opposed to home, had "acquired" a locker here as well. Moving quickly, he pulled out his gym bag and headed for the showers, noting the sound of running water coming from one of the stalls.
Jake heard the water turn on in another stall and started to panic. {Oh no, who's in here? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I wanted to clean up, but if I get caught it won't be worth it.}
Hamilton had just turned on the water when Jake's voice popped into his mind. He smiled. Now he knew where she went and what she was doing.
Jake tried to hurry. {I want to get back there before he changes his mind.}
'Don't worry, Jake. I won't change my mind.' Hamilton thought from the other shower.
Jake turned off the water and pulled her towel into the shower stall. Drying off, she thought of all the places that Hamilton had kissed her. {He has the most amazing lips. And hands. Does he know how to make the hormones run at full speed or what? I don't think I've ever been kissed quite like that and I certainly have never wanted anyone more than I want him.}
Hamilton turned off the hot water and stood under the cold spray in an attempt to slow down his arousal. 'Down boy. Stay calm,' he coached himself.
Jake put on the change of clothes she had brought with her and put her jeans and bulky sweatshirt back on over them. {I hope he likes this.} Combing her hair, she studied her boyish reflection for a moment. She wished there was more she could do to look more feminine, like makeup or style her hair. Even perfume would help, but it was too risky. Getting caught would mean leaving Rawley...and Hamilton...and that was the last thing she wanted right now. With one last glance in the mirror, she gathered her things and left the bathroom. {I can't wait to see what happens next.}
Hamilton heard her leave and turned off the water. Drying off, he tried to slow his racing heart and not read too much into her thoughts.
Jake opened the door to her room and was surprised to find it empty. She spied the note on her bed. Now it was her turn to wonder what he was doing. She took off her sweatshirt and jeans and began putting away her shower items. She had just closed the last drawer when Hamilton came back. He closed the door, locked it and turned around, not sure what he was going to see.
"Wow." Hamilton's jaw dropped.
{Really?}
"Wow." He repeated, crossing the room to stand in front of her.
{I think I like the look on his face.} "Is this better?" She asked shyly.
"Oh yeah..." Hamilton took her hands and gently lifted them, holding her arms out and taking in the sight before him. It was just a change of clothes, but wow, what a difference. This Jake was wearing short, black running shorts and a black sports bra that showed off a fabulous figure. He stepped back a bit to admire her long legs, smooth shoulders, incredible abs and the chest she normally tried so hard to hide.
"This...is what has been under all those baggy clothes since the session started?" He asked, still stunned by the change in her appearance.. Jake gave a small nod and looked down at the floor as her cheeks turned rosy pink. {Yes. Do you like what you see?}
"And you waited - how long - after that kiss to tell me?" Jake looked up. {Oh no, he's mad.}
"Jake, it's not that. It's just, god, all that time I was trying to deny that I was attracted to you. If you had told me then, we could have been together all along. I thought I was falling for a GUY! You could have saved me so much confusion..." {I know, I know, I am so sorry.}
"I'm sorry, Hamilton. I just didn't expect this to happen." She looked at him and smiled, trying to lighten the mood. "What can I say - you have great instincts?" She joked as she wrapped her arms around him. {Please lets get back to what we were doing before.}
Feeling her body pressed up against his chased off any anger he may of felt at the moment. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her. His hands slid up her sides, over her shoulders and back down her spine, leaving a trail of heat up and down her body.
Jake pressed even closer to Hamilton, sliding her hands under the back of his shirt and rubbing her chest against his. A small, helpless moan escaped his lips. Caressing his back, Jake marveled at how he felt. His body was chiseled and solid, but his skin was smooth and hot. Kissing her way from his lips to his neck, Jake drank in the scent and taste of his skin. {Mmmm, he smells so good and feels wonderful.}
Hamilton was in heaven. Jake's body pressed against him sent all the blood in his body racing back to his groin. The outfit she had changed into allowed him access to more of her skin and with no corset in the way, he could feel her breasts as she rubbed against him. The sensation was amazing. When Jake's lips moved to his neck, he nuzzled against her and breathed in the wonderful scent of her skin.
They voiced the same thought at the same time. "You smell good."
They laughed at their identical thought. Jake stepped back and finally noticed that Hamilton was still wearing a tank top, but he had on different shorts.
"Where did you go?" {You changed clothes.}
"Where did you go?" He teased.
"I wanted to freshen up, so I took a quick shower." Jake admitted, slightly embarrassed. {I didn't want all the dust and dirt from the day to ruin such an incredible moment.}
Hamilton flashed her a huge smile. He knew where exactly where she had been when he asked the question. "Great minds must think alike then, because I did the same thing." He took her hand laced his fingers with hers.
"Where? You don't live here." {You couldn't have gone all the way home.}
"I have a locker in one of the bathrooms." He kissed the backs of her hands in between words.
"How convenient..." She teased, too wrapped up in his touch to make the connection. {You look and feel so good...}
"Yes, it is. Now where were we?" He gave her a lusty smile and pulled her against him again.
"I believe you said something about 'running out of exposed skin'." {I believe I was in heaven, being kissed by an angel.}
"That's right...and I do believe that there is some new skin exposed. Like here..." He kneeled down and kissed her side. Gently kissing and sucking, his lips made a path from her side, across her stomach, to her other side. {Ooooh...my knees feel like jello.}
Hamilton stood and scooped Jake up into his arms. Carrying her to the bed, he laid her down and was about to join her.
"Not so fast, I think you need a little more exposed skin, too." Jake purred and tugged on the hem of his shirt. {I want more of that stunning chest.}
Hamilton was happy to oblige. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off, prompting thoughts from Jake that she was powerless to stop. {I wonder what he looks like completely undressed? That would be a breathtaking sight - it has to be. What I've seen so far is stunning; it could only get better.}
Hamilton tossed the shirt aside and laid down on his side next to her. He traced her jaw line with sweet, slow kisses before covering her mouth with his. Jake responded eagerly to his kiss and let her hands explore his body. All the places she had wanted to touch since that first day at crew practice but couldn't because of her secret. Now that he knew, she could lose herself in him. Desperate for closer contact, Hamilton slid his leg between hers and moved to cover most of her body with his. The new sensations created by their bodies pressed against each other so intimately were overwhelming. They were lost in the feel, scent, and taste of each other. Jake felt his growing erection against her and tried to drag her mind out of the erotic fog.
{We should stop. This could be dangerous.}
Hamilton broke their kiss. "What? Why?"
"Because I'm completely losing the ability to think, that's why."
"But I thought you said you couldn't wait to see what happens next?"
Jake sat up straight. "What? When did I say that?"
Hamilton's face fell, he'd just given away that it was him in the other shower. Something he hadn't mentioned earlier...and probably should have.
Jake expression changed immediately when she remembered exactly when she had used those words. {You were in the other shower!}
"I can't believe you were in there and didn't tell me." Her face was a mixture of frustration, embarrassment and anger. {You were there...and heard everything! I HATE this gift!}
Hamilton tried to pull Jake into a hug and apologize. "I'm sorry. I just thought you wouldn't want to know it was me in there. I thought it might make you uncomfortable or something. I'm sorry, Jake."
She allowed him to put his arms around her, but refused to hug him back, yet. Hamilton spoke softly, still trying for forgiveness. "I hate this, too, Jake. I didn't ask for this to happen and I don't know how to make it go away. Please forgive me, I'm still learning how to deal with it." He gave her his best puppy dog eyes.
{Those eyes...that is so not fair using those eyes.} Jake was melting, wanting to kiss him again, touch him again, but it was time to get even. He'd benefited enough from this new ability and it was time for Jake to have some fun.
As Hamilton's lips pressed against hers again, she fought the urge to smile and concentrated on her thoughts. At first, she kept her mind clear, giving in to his kiss. When he thought she had forgiven him, it was time...
{Mmmm, Scout...}
"WHAT?" Hamilton looked like he had been slapped. "What are you doing thinking about Scout?"
Jake played innocent. "What are you talking about? I wasn't thinking about Scout. You must have heard wrong."
Hamilton looked perplexed. Was she right? Had he heard wrong or was she thinking about Scout while kissing him? Jake pulled Hamilton back to their kiss. Hamilton was just beginning to forget about Scout and respond with his prior enthusiasm when Jake got him again.
{Hamilton is a really great kisser, but Scout...now those are some talented lips.}
"WHAT? When the hell did you kiss Calhoun?"
"I've never kissed Scout." Jake replied nonchalantly and tried to kiss him again, but Hamilton was still thinking about her and Scout. Jake decided a distraction was in order. As she trailed warm wet kisses along his neck, her hands caressed his naked chest. It worked and a low moan escaped Hamilton's lips. Jake could feel him relax and enjoy her touch.
{He's got a really nice chest, too. But Scout's is a little more developed...}
"That's it Jake! Why are you thinking about Scout when we're..."
Jake's laughter cut him off. "I'm sorry...but you deserved it...after what you did in Finn's class and then with the shower..." She couldn't finish explaining. She couldn't stop laughing and the look on his face only served to make her laugh harder.
Shock was the first thing that flashed across Hamilton's face as he realized what she had just done to him. Then came a touch of anger, followed by frustration. With mock fierceness, he grabbed her sides and pushed her down on the bed.
"You are so going to get it for that!" He attacked her ticklish ribs mercilessly. She squealed and tried to get away from him, but he was stronger. Hamilton held her against the bed and continued his tickle attack.
"Scout huh?" He shifted to tickle the insides of her thighs. "I'll show you." She fought against him as he moved to the one place that was even more ticklish than her ribs.
"What's the matter, Hammie? Can't take a joke?" She struggled to get free of his grasp. The new position he had shifted to left him slightly off balance and allowed Jake to sit up. After several minutes of playful wrestling and tickling, they found themselves sitting up on the bed, out of breath and staring at each other's lips.
Overcome by the need to kiss him, Jake climbed in his lap, wrapped her legs around his waist and gave him a kiss full of passion and hunger. Hamilton relaxed and responded to the kiss, leaning back to pull Jake down on top of him.
"Whoa..."
SMACK!
They landed on the hard wood floor, Jake on top of Hamilton.
Jake scrambled to get off of him and kneeled next to him. "Oh my god, Hamilton! Are you okay?" It came out as a half-laugh, her concern mixing with the comedy of them falling off the bed together.
Hamilton just laid there, slightly dazed, thinking that he really needed to stop hitting his head this week. "Oh..." was all he could muster.
Jake cradled him against her chest and kissed his head. "Your head... Are you ok?"
Hamilton tried to sit up. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Another headache, but I'll live."
Jake helped him up and he laid down on the bed. She sat next to him and looked at him with worried eyes. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'll be fine." He took her hand and kissed it. "At least this time I was having fun when I fell."
Jake couldn't help but smile. He was the one that was hurt, and still, he was making her feel better. She leaned over and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. He pulled her closer and slid his tongue across her lips. As the kiss deepened, Hamilton pulled Jake on top of him, she straddled his hips and immediately felt his erection growing again. Feeling him between her legs ignited a fire of arousal that was new to Jake.
'Oh my god, this feels so good. Now I know why guys think about sex so much,' she thought to herself. Jake heard her own words and realized that Hamilton would have heard them, too. Slightly embarrassed again, she kept kissing him, but waited for his reaction.
When none came, she pulled back. "What? No answer for that one?"
Hamilton looked confused; he had no context for the question. "What?"
"I figured you heard that and would have something to say."
Hamilton paused for a moment. He hadn't heard anything.
"Jake?" He asked slowly, not wanting to get his hopes up. "What are you thinking right now?"
"I'm wondering what that look on your face is for, wait, can't you hear me?"
"Think of a color." He asked, sitting up with her still on his lap.
Jake thought for a second. "Ok, what color was it?"
Hamilton broke out into a huge smile. "I have no idea! I didn't hear anything!" He pulled Jake into his excited embrace. "Yes! It's gone."
Jake kissed him all over as a wave of relief washed over her. Hamilton couldn't hear what she was thinking anymore! It was wonderful to have her thoughts be private again.
His lips found hers again and their tongues met. Consumed by the desire to be closer to him, Jake wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed her body into his. Hamilton was fully aroused again. Jake could feel how hard he was, even through their clothing. Without thinking, she rocked her hips against him several times, both gasping at the new sensation.
Finally needing air, Jake nuzzled against him. She felt his chest vibrate and saw that he was quietly laughing to himself.
"Now what?"
"I was just thinking." Jake looked at him with raised eyebrows. "I may not be able to hear what you're thinking, but I still KNOW what you're thinking." The sexy half smile and arched eyebrows were so incredibly smug.
"Oh really? And just what am I thinking?" Jake hoped he was wrong so she could take his inflated ego down a notch.
"That you want me." He broke out into a full-blown smile.
Jake sat there stunned. 'Damn! He was right...'
"Told ya I knew!" Hamilton laughed as he pulled her back down on the bed again.
Several hours later, Hamilton kissed Jake goodnight one more time, before finally opening the door and quietly walking out. She closed the door behind him and got ready for bed. Crawling under the covers, she wrapped herself in blankets that smelled of Hamilton and fell asleep thinking how much fun this summer was going to be.
Sitting on the floor, Jake watched Hamilton as he started the music. It was a pretty basic task, putting a CD in the player and pushing a button, but she was amazed at how he made every little thing seem sexy. The way his long, elegant fingers held the CD. The way the muscles in his arms and legs moved and flexed as he reached across her desk. The delicious curves and contours of his body that his crew shorts and tank top exposed.
{Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe him. Inside and out. He's incredibly sweet and sensitive, intelligent and funny. He could probably have any girl he wanted and I know of at least two that want him. So why is he here with a freak like me? I've gotten myself into a situation where I can't look or act like a girl, so why on earth would he want to be here?

They were just able to show it off more than Jake's situation allowed. She was beautiful and he was crazy about her. Now he just needed to convince her of that...
Hamilton joined Jake on the blanket.
"Hungry?" She asked. {You're always hungry.}
"Yes. But not for burgers or fries." He replied, grinning wickedly.
"Oh, really?" {Is this Hamilton code for making out or something else?} "So, what are you hungry for..."

"Or that you have an incredibly sexy neck?" He trailed wet kisses down her neck. {Oh, yeah...}
"H..."
"And beautiful hands." He kissed the back of both hands and then each fingertip individually. {I may burst into flames!}
He pushed up the sleeve of her sweatshirt. "And wrists." He kissed all the way around each wrist. {Oh my god.}
Jake realized he had stopped. "What's wrong?" {Please don't let something be wrong. Please don't stop.}
"Nothing," he said with a smirk. "I just ran out of exposed skin."
"I can fix that. Be right back." {I'll fix it...just don't lose that train of thought!} She jumped up and went to the dresser. She pulled something out of the drawer and went to the closet. Changing behind the closet door, she removed the bulky sweatshirt, her T-shirt and the corset, and put on a dark blue tank top in their place. She tossed the shirts in the closet and went back to the blanket.
She noticed that Hamilton had moved the untouched food out of the way. She sat across from him and couldn't help but smile when she saw his admiring gaze.
"Is this better?" She asked. {Lots more places to kiss now.}
"Much." His eyes traveled over the tank top and lingered at her chest. "So, where was I?" {You were kissing my wrists.}
"I forgot. You'll have to remind me." {I won't mind if you go back and start all over.}
"I think, I said you had beautiful wrists, but now I see that you have lovely arms as well."
He held her hand and kneeled before her again. Starting at her wrist, he trailed warm, wet kisses all the way up her arm. He stopped at her shoulder and then gave her other arm the same attention.
Ooooooh...was Jake's only thought as shivers raced down her spine.

He pulled her against him and rested his chin on her shoulder. He spoke softly into her ear again.
"Jake, I want you to know that I am crazy about you. From the moment we met, I knew there was something special between us. So special that I was ready to accept that I was gay, even though I had never thought twice about another guy before. I think you are beautiful and sexy regardless of what you're wearing. I know who you are, what other people see isn't important. In my eyes, you are the prettiest girl around. No one else makes me feel the way you do." {I love you so much! I think I'm going to cry.}
Jake could feel tears forming and wiped at them with her hands. This was not the time to cry, even if they were happy tears. She hated that he could hear all of her thoughts, but maybe just this once it had been a good thing. More than anything, she needed to hear the words he had spoken. She needed to feel loved and special and pretty. She needed to feel like she was the center of someone's attention.
"Thank you, Hamilton. That means so much to me. You mean so much to me..."
He turned her around to face him. "Shhh." He put his fingers to her lips to quiet her.
"This is beautiful, too." He said, as he leaned to place kisses along her collarbone and in the hollow of her throat. {I've died and gone to heaven.}
Hamilton smiled as he moved up her throat and then kissed under her chin. He traced her jaw line and left kisses behind each ear. He kissed his way to her forehead, before resting his against hers.
She opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" {Why do you keep stopping?}
He sat back on his heels and grinned. "I ran out of exposed skin again."
Jake's smile lit up her face. {I know just how to fix that.} "Give me ten minutes?" She asked.
"What?" He looked confused as she got up and started collecting things from her dresser. She walked back to the closet, retrieved her sweatshirt and corset and put them back on. "What are you doing?"
"Trust me. I'll be back in ten minutes." {You won't be sorry - I hope.} She smiled and gave him a quick kiss before dashing out the door.
Jake forced herself to walk, not run, down the hallway to the bathroom. The halls were deserted and Jake found the bathroom empty as well. Heading for the showers, Jake stepped into the shower stall and undressed quickly, careful to hide her clothes under her towel when she hung them on the hook outside the shower stall.

Jake tried to hurry. {I want to get back there before he changes his mind.}
'Don't worry, Jake. I won't change my mind.' Hamilton thought from the other shower.
Jake turned off the water and pulled her towel into the shower stall. Drying off, she thought of all the places that Hamilton had kissed her. {He has the most amazing lips. And hands.

He closed the door, locked it and turned around, not sure what he was going to see.
"Wow." Hamilton's jaw dropped.
{Really?}
"Wow." He repeated, crossing the room to stand in front of her.
{I think I like the look on his face.} "Is this better?" She asked shyly.

"This...is what has been under all those baggy clothes since the session started?" He asked, still stunned by the change in her appearance.. Jake gave a small nod and looked down at the floor as her cheeks turned rosy pink. {Yes. Do you like what you see?}
"And you waited - how long - after that kiss to tell me?" Jake looked up. {Oh no, he's mad.}
"Jake, it's not that. It's just, god, all that time I was trying to deny that I was attracted to you. If you had told me then, we could have been together all along. I thought I was falling for a GUY! You could have saved me so much confusion..." {I know, I know, I am so sorry.}
"I'm sorry, Hamilton. I just didn't expect this to happen." She looked at him and smiled, trying to lighten the mood. "What can I say - you have great instincts?" She joked as she wrapped her arms around him. {Please lets get back to what we were doing before.}
Feeling her body pressed up against his chased off any anger he may of felt at the moment. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her. His hands slid up her sides, over her shoulders and back down her spine, leaving a trail of heat up and down her body.
Jake pressed even closer to Hamilton, sliding her hands under the back of his shirt and rubbing her chest against his. A small, helpless moan escaped his lips. Caressing his back, Jake marveled at how he felt. His body was chiseled and solid, but his skin was smooth and hot. Kissing her way from his lips to his neck, Jake drank in the scent and taste of his skin. {Mmmm, he smells so good and feels wonderful.}
Hamilton was in heaven. Jake's body pressed against him sent all the blood in his body racing back to his groin. The outfit she had changed into allowed him access to more of her skin and with no corset in the way, he could feel her breasts as she rubbed against him. The sensation was amazing. When Jake's lips moved to his neck, he nuzzled against her and breathed in the wonderful scent of her skin.
They voiced the same thought at the same time. "You smell good."
They laughed at their identical thought. Jake stepped back and finally noticed that Hamilton was still wearing a tank top, but he had on different shorts.
"Where did you go?" {You changed clothes.}
"Where did you go?" He teased.
"I wanted to freshen up, so I took a quick shower." Jake admitted, slightly embarrassed. {I didn't want all the dust and dirt from the day to ruin such an incredible moment.}
Hamilton flashed her a huge smile. He knew where exactly where she had been when he asked the question. "Great minds must think alike then, because I did the same thing." He took her hand laced his fingers with hers.
"Where? You don't live here." {You couldn't have gone all the way home.}
"I have a locker in one of the bathrooms." He kissed the backs of her hands in between words.
"How convenient..." She teased, too wrapped up in his touch to make the connection. {You look and feel so good...}
"Yes, it is. Now where were we?" He gave her a lusty smile and pulled her against him again.
"I believe you said something about 'running out of exposed skin'." {I believe I was in heaven, being kissed by an angel.}
"That's right...and I do believe that there is some new skin exposed. Like here..." He kneeled down and kissed her side. Gently kissing and sucking, his lips made a path from her side, across her stomach, to her other side. {Ooooh...my knees feel like jello.}
Hamilton stood and scooped Jake up into his arms. Carrying her to the bed, he laid her down and was about to join her.
"Not so fast, I think you need a little more exposed skin, too." Jake purred and tugged on the hem of his shirt. {I want more of that stunning chest.}
Hamilton was happy to oblige. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it off, prompting thoughts from Jake that she was powerless to stop. {I wonder what he looks like completely undressed? That would be a breathtaking sight - it has to be. What I've seen so far is stunning; it could only get better.}
Hamilton tossed the shirt aside and laid down on his side next to her. He traced her jaw line with sweet, slow kisses before covering her mouth with his. Jake responded eagerly to his kiss and let her hands explore his body. All the places she had wanted to touch since that first day at crew practice but couldn't because of her secret. Now that he knew, she could lose herself in him. Desperate for closer contact, Hamilton slid his leg between hers and moved to cover most of her body with his. The new sensations created by their bodies pressed against each other so intimately were overwhelming. They were lost in the feel, scent, and taste of each other. Jake felt his growing erection against her and tried to drag her mind out of the erotic fog.
{We should stop. This could be dangerous.}
Hamilton broke their kiss. "What? Why?"
"Because I'm completely losing the ability to think, that's why."
"But I thought you said you couldn't wait to see what happens next?"
Jake sat up straight. "What? When did I say that?"
Hamilton's face fell, he'd just given away that it was him in the other shower. Something he hadn't mentioned earlier...and probably should have.
Jake expression changed immediately when she remembered exactly when she had used those words. {You were in the other shower!}
"I can't believe you were in there and didn't tell me." Her face was a mixture of frustration, embarrassment and anger. {You were there...and heard everything! I HATE this gift!}
Hamilton tried to pull Jake into a hug and apologize. "I'm sorry. I just thought you wouldn't want to know it was me in there. I thought it might make you uncomfortable or something. I'm sorry, Jake."
She allowed him to put his arms around her, but refused to hug him back, yet. Hamilton spoke softly, still trying for forgiveness. "I hate this, too, Jake. I didn't ask for this to happen and I don't know how to make it go away. Please forgive me, I'm still learning how to deal with it." He gave her his best puppy dog eyes.
{Those eyes...that is so not fair using those eyes.} Jake was melting, wanting to kiss him again, touch him again, but it was time to get even. He'd benefited enough from this new ability and it was time for Jake to have some fun.
As Hamilton's lips pressed against hers again, she fought the urge to smile and concentrated on her thoughts. At first, she kept her mind clear, giving in to his kiss. When he thought she had forgiven him, it was time...
{Mmmm, Scout...}
"WHAT?" Hamilton looked like he had been slapped. "What are you doing thinking about Scout?"
Jake played innocent. "What are you talking about? I wasn't thinking about Scout. You must have heard wrong."
Hamilton looked perplexed. Was she right? Had he heard wrong or was she thinking about Scout while kissing him? Jake pulled Hamilton back to their kiss. Hamilton was just beginning to forget about Scout and respond with his prior enthusiasm when Jake got him again.
{Hamilton is a really great kisser, but Scout...now those are some talented lips.}
"WHAT? When the hell did you kiss Calhoun?"
"I've never kissed Scout." Jake replied nonchalantly and tried to kiss him again, but Hamilton was still thinking about her and Scout. Jake decided a distraction was in order. As she trailed warm wet kisses along his neck, her hands caressed his naked chest. It worked and a low moan escaped Hamilton's lips. Jake could feel him relax and enjoy her touch.
{He's got a really nice chest, too. But Scout's is a little more developed...}
"That's it Jake! Why are you thinking about Scout when we're..."
Jake's laughter cut him off. "I'm sorry...but you deserved it...after what you did in Finn's class and then with the shower..." She couldn't finish explaining. She couldn't stop laughing and the look on his face only served to make her laugh harder.
Shock was the first thing that flashed across Hamilton's face as he realized what she had just done to him. Then came a touch of anger, followed by frustration. With mock fierceness, he grabbed her sides and pushed her down on the bed.
"You are so going to get it for that!" He attacked her ticklish ribs mercilessly. She squealed and tried to get away from him, but he was stronger. Hamilton held her against the bed and continued his tickle attack.
"Scout huh?" He shifted to tickle the insides of her thighs. "I'll show you." She fought against him as he moved to the one place that was even more ticklish than her ribs.
"What's the matter, Hammie? Can't take a joke?" She struggled to get free of his grasp. The new position he had shifted to left him slightly off balance and allowed Jake to sit up. After several minutes of playful wrestling and tickling, they found themselves sitting up on the bed, out of breath and staring at each other's lips.
Overcome by the need to kiss him, Jake climbed in his lap, wrapped her legs around his waist and gave him a kiss full of passion and hunger. Hamilton relaxed and responded to the kiss, leaning back to pull Jake down on top of him.
"Whoa..."
SMACK!
They landed on the hard wood floor, Jake on top of Hamilton.
Jake scrambled to get off of him and kneeled next to him. "Oh my god, Hamilton! Are you okay?" It came out as a half-laugh, her concern mixing with the comedy of them falling off the bed together.
Hamilton just laid there, slightly dazed, thinking that he really needed to stop hitting his head this week. "Oh..." was all he could muster.
Jake cradled him against her chest and kissed his head. "Your head... Are you ok?"
Hamilton tried to sit up. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Another headache, but I'll live."
Jake helped him up and he laid down on the bed. She sat next to him and looked at him with worried eyes. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'll be fine." He took her hand and kissed it. "At least this time I was having fun when I fell."
Jake couldn't help but smile. He was the one that was hurt, and still, he was making her feel better. She leaned over and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. He pulled her closer and slid his tongue across her lips. As the kiss deepened, Hamilton pulled Jake on top of him, she straddled his hips and immediately felt his erection growing again. Feeling him between her legs ignited a fire of arousal that was new to Jake.
'Oh my god, this feels so good. Now I know why guys think about sex so much,' she thought to herself. Jake heard her own words and realized that Hamilton would have heard them, too. Slightly embarrassed again, she kept kissing him, but waited for his reaction.
When none came, she pulled back. "What? No answer for that one?"
Hamilton looked confused; he had no context for the question. "What?"
"I figured you heard that and would have something to say."
Hamilton paused for a moment. He hadn't heard anything.
"Jake?" He asked slowly, not wanting to get his hopes up. "What are you thinking right now?"
"I'm wondering what that look on your face is for, wait, can't you hear me?"
"Think of a color." He asked, sitting up with her still on his lap.
Jake thought for a second. "Ok, what color was it?"
Hamilton broke out into a huge smile. "I have no idea! I didn't hear anything!" He pulled Jake into his excited embrace. "Yes! It's gone."
Jake kissed him all over as a wave of relief washed over her. Hamilton couldn't hear what she was thinking anymore! It was wonderful to have her thoughts be private again.
His lips found hers again and their tongues met. Consumed by the desire to be closer to him, Jake wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed her body into his. Hamilton was fully aroused again. Jake could feel how hard he was, even through their clothing. Without thinking, she rocked her hips against him several times, both gasping at the new sensation.
Finally needing air, Jake nuzzled against him. She felt his chest vibrate and saw that he was quietly laughing to himself.
"Now what?"
"I was just thinking." Jake looked at him with raised eyebrows. "I may not be able to hear what you're thinking, but I still KNOW what you're thinking." The sexy half smile and arched eyebrows were so incredibly smug.
"Oh really? And just what am I thinking?" Jake hoped he was wrong so she could take his inflated ego down a notch.
"That you want me." He broke out into a full-blown smile.
Jake sat there stunned. 'Damn! He was right...'
"Told ya I knew!" Hamilton laughed as he pulled her back down on the bed again.
Several hours later, Hamilton kissed Jake goodnight one more time, before finally opening the door and quietly walking out. She closed the door behind him and got ready for bed. Crawling under the covers, she wrapped herself in blankets that smelled of Hamilton and fell asleep thinking how much fun this summer was going to be.
