A/N: Thanks for holding out for the good stuff, hope you've enjoyed their little romance building! Most of the next chapters will include some sort of love scene.

Kelsi slid her feet into her low wedge heels and shrugged at her appearance. The girl looking back at her in the mirror didn't feel like she was what a guy would want to spend his evening with, but she figured it was the best she could do. At least her eyes had returned to normal after she had fought with her contacts. Jason had promised a fun night out of dancing and she didn't want her glasses to get in the way. Her phone chirped on her nightstand and she picked it up to check the incoming message. It was from Jason:

Here :) I'm parked on W 65 St,.

She dropped her phone into her purse, grabbed her cardigan, and headed out the door. It was a warm evening, but she still slipped the light sweater on as she walked through the gardens from her dorm out to the main road. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Jason from a distance and seriously considered turning back, feeling as though she had seriously misjudged the dress code for the night. Then his soft brown eyes met hers through the bustling street and she knew he had seen her by the smile that started to creep across his face. She resumed a casual pace and took him in as she approached. His hips were snugged into a dark wash pair of jeans and rested against the fender of a jet black muscle car. He had a dark red v-neck shirt on under a tan sports jacket that hugged his toned arms that were crossed in front of him, mirroring his casually crossed feet that donned a pair of low top black Converse. He was the image of a casual night out and she immediately felt stupid for wearing heels. She looked back up to his face and saw that he was still smiling as his eyes moved up and down, obviously taking her in as well. His eyes had of course been captivated as soon as he saw her walk out of the shadows into the lights of the city and he had barely kept his head on his shoulders. Her little feet brought her closer to him in a pair of black wedges that made her slender legs look long and sexy as they led up to a denim skirt that sat just above her knees. A patterned purple shirt peeked out from under a black cardigan with a gold and purple broach pinned to the lapel. She had let her hair down to her shoulders in soft curls and she wasn't wearing her glasses, probably to be ready for the night of dancing he had promised.

"Wow," he said when she got within earshot on the bustling street, "you dressed to kill, and you're gonna start with me." Kelsi blushed, it had been a while since a guy gave her a compliment like that. Even though she was still somewhat embarrassed by her outfit, she breathed a sharp exhale of relief that he liked it.

"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself," she replied with a smile. He stepped towards her and placed a quick kiss on her cheek before he swept his arm towards the passenger door.

"Shall we?" She followed his invitation and couldn't help recognizing his car.

"You have a 1970 Mach 1?" Jason had one hand on the passenger door to open it for her but stopped and turned to give her a surprised expression.

"Yeah, you caught that pretty quick. How'd you know the year?"

"Well the name is on the door," she said with a smirk, "but those hood pins, they only came on the '70 Mach 1 model." Jason looked back at her with intrigue.

"Well I'll say I'm at a loss, I've never had a date who knew anything about cars."

Kelsi looked away and quickly tried to think of a way to dismiss her comments, but the look of genuine curiosity on his face told her that she could be honest with him

"Well my mom worked weird hours at the hospital so I used to hang out with my dad at the shop instead of being home alone. Picked up a lot of stuff about cars I guess," she explained as she nervously pushed a loose curl behind her ear. He could see she was shy about it, but he could see she was also pretty interested in the car as she looked down the sleek lines of the body.

"Did you want to have a look under the hood?" She raised her eyes to look at him and gave him an excited nod. He stepped quickly to the drivers side and leaned in to spring the hood. She followed nervously and stood patiently in front of the hood hugging her arms close to her body to hold back how intrigued she was. Before he pulled the lever, he thought he might see if she would open up a bit more about what she knew.

"Go ahead, open 'er up," As he watched her make quick work of unlatching the hood pins, he had to snap his head away from what was quickly becoming amazed staring and just pop the hood. He strolled back towards the front of the car, practically tripping over his own feet as he watched her easing the hood up over her head.

"Cleveland V8, four barrel, impressive," she mumbled to herself as she leaned over the block, "M-code?" Her inquiry flowed so innocently and genuinely across her lips, but Jason was dumbstruck that she seemed to know his car as well as he did. He shook his head, trying to form an answer over how badly she was turning him on.

"Uh yeah M-Code 5.8L, it was my nonno's, my grandfather's," he answered, remembering that she probably wasn't familiar with Italian words.

"Was?" Kelsi asked.

"He passed away a couple years ago, left this to me. We used to work on it a lot together, he knew how much I loved it. Not the best on gas, but I'll never give it up," he said as he ran his hand affectionately over the front grill, pushing back a feeling of missing his grandfather.

"I'm sorry to hear that, must've been a great guy, great taste in cars that's for sure," Kelsi replied with a soft squeeze on his arm. He smiled at her comforting gesture and reached to put the hood down.

"Well what do you say I fire it up and we get going?" She smiled and took off for the passenger door. When they had both climbed in he put his hand to the ignition and paused to turn to her.

"Seatbelts please," he said with a silly smile. Kelsi was already pulling hers on.

"At 300 horsepower you know it," she mumbled and settled back in the black leather seat.

"Damn," Jason whispered to himself with a sharp exhale as he turned the key and let those horses run.

"What?" Kelsi asked. He waited until he had signalled out into the busy city street and shifted to second gear before answering her.

"I guess no one has ever told you how hot it is that you know cars?" he asked without taking his eyes off the road. She looked down at her skirt and tugged nervously at the hem.

"I've never told anyone, never came up with other guys I've gone out with. Either they didn't like cars or they didn't think I would." He shifted into third as he picked up more speed. The streets of New York could get crazy, and her deadly look was threatening to take control of his attention.

"Well I'm glad you do, not that I'm a huge motor-head, but if there's anything you want to know about this rig, just ask." He breathed a heavy exhale to release the pent up tension of keeping his mind on the road when he finally found a spot to park on the street near Club Cache. It had been a fifteen minute drive of casual conversation about each of their days, but it felt like moments with how she fully engaged his attention. He got out and stepped quickly around the front of the car to open the door for her, bringing a shy smile to her face as she swung her wedges out to the ground.

"I'll have to keep a close eye on this tonight," she said as she pulled her purse up over her shoulder, immediately regretting bringing it.

"You could leave it here, just tuck it under the seat, I can carry your ID and phone if that would help." She looked at the crowds of people going in and out of the club and decided that was probably a good idea. She handed him her phone and he slid it into the inside pocket of his coat as she dug in her wallet for her ID, passing out her debit card along with it. "You can put that back, I'm buying," he added as he handed her debit card back. Playfully rolling her eyes at him, she decided not to fight, he was already being quite the gentleman so she might as well let him keep it up. She crouched to shove her purse under the seat and turned back to step out of the way as he closed the door behind her. "Besides, I'm driving so I won't be drinking," he continued as he looped an arm around her shoulder, "and you look like a lightweight anyways, doubt you could run up too much of a tab." She couldn't help but giggle at the playful squeeze on her arm, but of course he was right. The last time she'd gotten drunk it only took two glasses of wine and she was tipsy, the fourth had left her with a vicious hangover the next morning. She'd likely call it quits after one drink tonight. They headed towards the narrow steps to Club Cache and showed their ID before Jason returned them to his front pocket. Pushing open the door, they were greeted by a wave of sound – a melange of salsa, bachata, and the occasional burst of Latin pop. The club itself wasn't huge, but it pulsed with energy. The dance floor sprawled in front of the bar, a few early partygoers danced under the warm glow of yellowed hanging lamps and swirling gobo lights. Along the brick walls, booths filled with patrons created a vibrant buzz of conversation punctuated by bursts of laughter. The bartenders, faces lit by the colourful cocktail displays behind them, expertly mixed drinks and swapped jokes with regulars. The air hung thick with the scent of spilled rum and something vaguely tropical. Jason quickly realized that the scent of rum was familiar in here, but the tropical scent was drifting off of Kelsi as he walked closely behind her. Had to be her shampoo or maybe a perfume, either way it was more intoxicating than any liquor ever could be. They made their way towards the bar and soon got the attention of one of the bartenders.

"Evening friends, what'll it be? For you miss?" he asked.

"Just a beer, Budweiser if you have it," Kelsi replied. The bartender nodded and turned to Jason.

"And for you sir?"

"Just a club soda with lime for me, driving." The bartender gave him a respectful nod and whizzed away to grab the drinks. "So just a beer, no crazy fruity cocktails for you?" Jason said as he turned to Kelsi, a little surprised at her choice.

"Told you I hung out with my dad a lot," she replied as the bartender returned and slid a Budweiser in front of her and Jason's soda in front of him, "Buds for the best buds." She took a quick swig and turned to look out over the dance floor that was a little empty as the DJ hadn't yet cranked up the party. Jason laughed and took her hand to lead her over to an empty corner booth. They sat for a while, talking about more about their days and sipping casually at their drinks. "You know, most people can easily have one or two beers and drive, how come you're not having anything? You a lightweight too?" she asked with a teasing nudge at his side. He chuckled and shook his head.

"No I can hold my own. My brother is a firefighter up in Colorado, he's just told me way too many stories about drunk driving accidents. I wouldn't want to end up in one of them." He took another quick sip of his drink as the music started to crank up louder and the DJ began his call for everyone to get on the dance floor. Sliding quickly out of the booth, Jason extended his hand to Kelsi.

"Come on, I promised you a night of dancing." Kelsi tipped her beer bottom up and drained the last of it before taking his hand and letting him pull her up out of the seat. Her nerves needed all the help she could give them. He raised her arm over her head and spun her once in front of him, taking in her beautiful form before moving into a comfortable groove of his own. Kelsi felt a sense of ease as she danced with him, just like the other day, but this time the low tones of the sensual Latin rhythms made their dancing feel less than playful. As the music thrummed, she circled her hips in slow waves to the music, her movements fluid and expressive. They followed the beat with a perfect sway, an invitation that Jason couldn't ignore. He pulled her closer by her hips, an embrace that sent a pleasurable jolt through her. She spun around and let him wrap his arms around her from behind, continuing to move in time together, their hips subtly grinding together. Her fluid movements beckoned him to let his hand wander across her body, following each curve as it responded to the beat and his touch. He let his cheek brush against hers until he couldn't resist a long and suggestive kiss on her soft skin. She released a surprised catch of her breath, easing further back into his embrace. Their bodies swayed together with the music, a slow, nearly erotic movement that spoke volumes without needing words. He lifted her arms to spin her back to face him and brushed a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering at her cheek for a beat too long. In that moment, the air crackled with unspoken desire, sending sparks through Kelsi's veins. Jason felt an ache deep in his chest to kiss her, if was the same ache from the first time he wanted to kiss her all those years ago. Her green eyes were sparkling under the flashing lights and her lips had parted ever so slightly as his hand rested on her cheek. He'd waited years for this and finally leaned in and let his lips land on hers. Her response was soft and hesitant, then quickly became an eager response. Their lips touching was a tangle of emotions – nostalgia, a reawakened spark, a sense of coming home. The world dissolved around them, the music was a distant hum, the lights a forgotten blur. All that existed was the press of his lips against hers, the spark that ignited between them, a spark that had never truly died. It was different from any kiss either of them had ever had, yet strangely familiar, like a melody remembered from a dream. With that kiss, the years of separation were now completely washed away, like they truly had a second chance at what could have been. When they parted, she blushed heavily under his romantic gaze.

"Wow," Kelsi whispered. It was all she could express after what she had felt in that moment. The tenderness in his embrace as his hands still pulled her hips close to his made her feel like she was right where she was meant to be.

"You can say that again," Jason replied with a soft smile. Kelsi slid her arms around his neck and looked longingly into his eyes

"I will if you kiss me again." He grinned from ear to ear and leaned in for another one.

"Wow," she said as their lips parted again, "Jason that felt.." She couldn't think of the words to describe, but he offered up a suggestion.

"Right?"

"Yeah, this feels right." As the energy of the room ramped up again with more blaring music, Kelsi began to feel the effects of the ticking clock on her body and couldn't help letting out a small yawn. Jason noticed and whispered in her ear.

"Getting tired?"

"I kinda am, and I've got an early rehearsal tomorrow," she said with a downcast expression.

"Let's get out of here then, we can come back another night," he said, taking her hand and leading the way to the door. When they stepped out into the cool night air, Kelsi let her head droop in embarrassment.

"I'm so sorry, I had a really long day today, I probably shouldn't have agreed to this," she rambled, "I probably made a lousy date tonight." Jason raised her hand that he was still holding to his lips and gently kissed her knuckles.

"Hey don't say that," he replied, stepping closer to her, "you're an awesome date." He moved closer yet again and laid another soft kiss on her cheek. "Come on, I'll get you home," he said and led the way to his car. They strolled hand in hand under the city lights until Jason opened the car door for her. He ran around the other side and shucked his sport coat. "Phew, warm night," he said and reached in the pocket for her phone, "here don't want to forget that."

"Thanks." She took it and got distracted by his now exposed arms, still toned to perfection. Looking quickly at her phone to rip her eyes away from the view, she occupied herself with responding to a text from her dad while he slid into his seat. As they drove back, Jason reached over to take hold of her hand, but had to drop it quickly when someone cut him off and he needed to quickly shift gears.

"Damn, stupid drivers," he muttered softly, gripping the gear shifter as he maneuvered the car safely onwards. Then a soft stroke of fingertips danced over his tense grip as Kelsi established their connection again. He couldn't help but smile as he shifted gears again and her hand moved with him.

"Guess this is as close as I'll ever get to driving this thing, huh?" she giggled softly.

"Probably, that would be pretty big for me since I've never let anyone else drive it, but keep playing your cards right, I might come around eventually." She laughed and carried on more conversation about the car until they pulled up outside of Juilliard. Jason turned off the engine and got out to run around and open her door.

"Thanks for the night out, Jason," Kelsi said with a shy smile, "I had a great time even though I had to cut it short."

"Well then let me make it last a little longer, I'll walk you to your dorm." He took her hand in his and turned towards the wild buildings of the campus. She led the way through the gardens and soon came to stop by the main door to the dormitory building.

"I think I can find my way from here," she said and leaned in to kiss his lips, "good night." With that she turned and left Jason in a haze, only barely able to return a "Good night," before she slipped through the door.

Kelsi wandered back into her room in a daze of her own. Their date had been so much fun and she wished it didn't have to end. Stupid morning classes. She made her way into her room and tossed her purse onto her bed. As she pulled her pyjamas out of her dresser along with an old East High hoodie, she jumped at the sharp trill of her phone ringing. She retrieved it from her bag and her heart fluttered at the name on the screen.

"Jason?" she said, answering it with a smile on her face.

"Yeah it's me," she heard him respond, "I forgot to give you your ID out of my pocket. Which number are you? I'll bring it up."

"Oh gosh! So sorry about that, I'm room 153 on the first floor,"

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute," he said and the line went dead. Kelsi put her phone down and cursed under her breath.

Well done, genius, how I could I forget that?! Soon a knock came at her door and she found herself walking on her toes to answer it. Calm down, girl, she reminded herself as she turned the knob and eased the door open. Jason stood on the other side of it twiddling her license in his fingers.

"Hey," he said extending it out to her, "here, you'll probably be needing this."

"Thanks again, sorry I forgot that," she said, taking it from him. Their fingers brushed and the sparks she had been feeling all night shot through her body again. She blushed and looked up at him; the look in his eyes hinted that he felt it too.

"Thats okay," he said, taking a step towards her, "there's something else I forgot too." After she had kissed him, it was as though he'd completely forgotten what to do and that included properly kissing her goodnight. She sure knew how to put him under a spell. When he shoved his hands in his pockets on the way back to his car and felt their ID cards, he knew he had to bring hers back to her. Thanking his lucky stars for another chance, he was determined not to miss it. He reached out and took her cheek in his hand, gently stroking it with his thumb. When she let out a small gasp at his touch, he leaned in and let his lips fall softly on hers. He felt her go tense for a moment, but he held out until she relaxed and brought her hand up to caress his. He broke the kiss at what felt like too soon, he could have kissed her all night with how wonderful it felt. He looked in her eyes and saw a sparkle that hadn't been there before. Something happened with that kiss and he knew he was in trouble when she grabbed a fistful of his t-shirt.

"Get in here," she demanded breathlessly as she yanked him into her room and backed up against the wall to let the door slam behind them. Caught off guard by the sudden forward shift in his momentum, he barely got his arms out to try and avoid crashing into her. He came to stop when both hands hit the wall on either side of her with a thud.

"Kelsi, what the hell?!" he said with a small laugh in surprise. She looked up at him with desperate eyes.

"Shut up, Cross," she whispered and stood up on her toes to kiss him passionately. He couldn't help returning it with fervour of his own, moving his hands to trace his fingertips down her arms. Tenderly following the trail to her hand that still gripped his shirt, he pressed it tighter over his heart so that she would feel how she was making it race. They melted into each other's embrace, pressing their bodies into one another as close as they could get. He was about to slide his tongue forward in hopes of deepening the kiss when he pulled back sharply.

"Wait, don't you have a roommate?" She moved to slide both her hands down his chest, eliciting a deep and slightly frustrated groan of arousal from him.

"She's gone home for the summer," she replied with a sly grin, twisting the hem of his shirt suggestively. That suggestion was all he needed to fall back into another passionate kiss. He let his hands wander down her slender frame, soon finding them wrapped around her hips and pulling her closer to the growing bulge in his jeans. She edged the hem of his shirt up to reveal his toned abs, gently begging for him to take it off. He let go of her hips and broke their kiss to grab the back of his collar and comply with her silent request. When he ripped his shirt over his head, Kelsi knew she was completely done for. She admired his bare chest for a moment, enjoying the feel of his softly cut muscles under her fingers. He stopped to enjoy the sensation of her caress for a long breath in, then pushed her back against the wall in another wild kiss. With a quick stoop to grab her thighs, he hoisted her tiny body up onto his hips, letting out a moan when she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist and her arms around his neck. She broke away and let her head fall back against the wall as the pleasure of his hips grinding into hers started to take her over.

"Jason," she gasped, unable to form any other words as he kneaded her hips with his strong hands and placed soft kisses down her jaw to her neck. Her delicate fingers running through his hair were quickly driving him crazy.

"Mmm?" he murmured in between quick trailing kisses to her collarbone. She brought her hands back to cup his face on both sides and direct him to look into her eyes.

"Do you want to take me to bed?"

"Do I ever," he replied before wrapping his arms around her back to support her body, "which one?" She nodded in the direction of her bed on the right side of the room and he took off.

This is gonna be tight, he thought as he walked over and slowly laid her down on her bed for more deep kisses.

"You have something right?" Kelsi said in between breaths. He thought quickly and realized he didn't. He'd never been a condom in the wallet type of guy, sometimes he slipped one in if his chances were good on seeing some action, but now he was kicking himself for it.

"I don't… shit," he grumbled and put his forehead to hers in frustration, "I'm sorry, Kelsi, I didn't think we'd…" She braced her hands and pushed herself up to sit.

"It's okay, actually I'm quite flattered that you don't, you weren't planning on this and I appreciate that," she said as she edged her way around him to stand, "let me check my roommate's stuff, maybe she's got some." She disappeared into the bathroom and Jason slumped to sit on the bed, tapping his fingers anxiously on his knee. Hopefully her roommate would come through for them. He saw the light click off in the bathroom and heard Kelsi's feet padding back across the floor. She walked back towards him with a disappointed look on her face. He let out a sharp sigh and looked down at the floor, reading her expression as an admission that the chance of them going any further was out the window for tonight. Then he felt her hand on his chin, directing him to look up. She sat on his lap, not about to try and straddle him in her tight skirt

"Kelsi, we can't if—" he started to say but she cut him off by smacking a foil packet to his lips.

"Someone sailed under a lucky star tonight, last one in the box." He smiled and rolled his eyes at her, taking the condom and putting it down beside him.

"Well I've got one chance to blow your mind then," he grinned as he wrapped his arms around her again, "no pressure." She laughed as he grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it quickly over her head, flinching that her plain bra was exposed to him. It subtly gave away that she hadn't planned for this either.

"Sorry I don't have anything nicer on," she said with a small wince. He smiled and ran his fingers down her chest, tracing over the tops of her breasts before reaching around for the clasp.

"Don't worry about it," he said as he popped the clasp loose, "you won't need it anyways." He let her shimmy it off, then with a smooth roll to his side, he laid her down on her back and laid more deep, passionate kisses on her lips. Lifting up on his forearms, he made his way down her chest and abdomen with gentle kisses while she combed her fingers through his hair, the desperation flowing through each of her fingertips. He got to the waistband of her skirt, unbuttoned it, and pulled the zipper to let him slide it down over her hips. Now he really knew she wasn't planning for this when he revealed her plain black boy short underwear. Raising his eyebrows at the sight, he couldn't hide that he'd never seen a girl not wearing something lacy or fancy and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands in embarrassment.

"Oh god, I'm really sorry, those are so not sexy." He tried hard to stifle his laughter, she was just too cute. He took the opportunity to shuck his pants and boxers then slipped the condom on.

"Again, don't worry about it," he said as he gripped the waistband, "you won't need them either." He sank to a crouch as he maneuvered them down over her hips to her toes and made his way back up her legs with long feathering strokes of his lips, her soft skin feeling like silk against his jaw. Stopping at her thighs, he laid his cheek against her warm skin. He could barely murmur her name as he inched his fingers closer between her legs, the ache to start loving on her leaving him lost for any words. She held her breath for a moment, realizing what he wanted, but then relaxed as he gently pried her legs apart. He resumed his soft kisses, working his way closer until they met her folds. Pressing his tongue forward, he gently started to stroke around.

"Fuck, you're wet," he gasped in between a long suck and more gentle kisses.

"Probably because I want you so bad." Her words slammed into his chest like a gunshot. He knew he wanted her, but hearing her say it back sent a chill over his exposed skin. Not to mention feeling how badly she was begging for him with the slick mess that was forming between her legs.

"Damn Kelsi..."he whispered. Forget this, she's ready, he thought as he stood quickly and crawled back over her. As soon as he found his way to her slick core, he fought the urge to fill her fast, but kept his movements slow to inch forward. She was perfectly ready and took him easily right to the hilt.

"Oh god, you feel so good, Kelsi," he groaned as he began a steady rhythm, leaning down to kiss her gasping lips again.

"So do you," she managed to whisper when he snaked his kisses down her neck as he thrust harder. He did feel terribly good, so good she wished this wasn't the first time they'd been together. Her mind whirled quickly through memories, feelings, moments they had shared. It all led here, to this. Instinctively arching her hips into his, she rose to meet him at every stroke, matching his rhythm.

Is she seriously…? Wow… his mind swirled. Having wanted this for so long, of course he'd thought about what their first time together might be like. Right now, she was beyond blowing his mind, and that was supposed to be his job. He shifted her leg around his waist and changed his angle, eliciting a sharp yelp from her throat.

"Sorry, did I hurt you?" Fortunately the slight pause gave him a chance to catch a breath and hold his orgasm back. With a clenched jaw, he resumed the gentle strokes as before. He could feel every move she made, the sensations of her tightening around him growing stronger with every thrust.

"Oh no, that's just…" she gasped, nearly out of breath as she felt her body responding to his. The perfect pressure and friction he supplied set off rapid explosions of pleasure that wound her body so tight she couldn't finish her sentence. She reached a hand up to his face and noticed the strain in his jaw, obviously fighting the urge to finish off. There hadn't been many other guys in her life, but still none of them had ever done that. He was taking the time to make her feel this good even at the delay of his own satisfaction. Ever the perfect gentleman. Lucky for him, her orgasm suddenly broke like a crashing wave. Her body strained and shivered, making her grasp his back and dig her nails into his skin. Then he felt the satisfaction flow through her body, her muscles throbbing before fully relaxing against him.

"Wow, I felt that, that's going to do me in too." He thrust harder and finally went over the edge with her, grunting and gasping as the delayed release shook him to his core. He finally got his bearings and dropped a sloppy kiss on her lips like he was drunk on her, making her giggle. "Kels…that was incredible."

"You're telling me," Kelsi moaned as she brought her hand to her forehead, "I've never had a guy do that before." Jason made a face at her then gave her a lopsided smile.

"Usually not great to talk about other guys when there's one on top of you, but I'll let it slide." She slid her hand down over her eyes and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, can you tell I don't do this a lot?"

"Yeah, that's a little obvious now," he laughed softly but still wouldn't let her up, waiting patiently for her to finish explaining.

"I just meant that I've never had a guy hold back to make sure I got something out of this too." Jason shook his head and sighed.

"I should be on that list. I've never tried to do that, not that I do this much either, but you're special to me Kelsi. You deserved more." Her heart skipped a beat as he withdrew and planted one more tender kiss on her swollen lips before standing to head for the bathroom. She flicked on her bedside lamp and grabbed the East High hoodie and her underwear to slide into them before she slumped back against the headboard, the lingering effects of their passion still making her body quiver. When he came back, he picked up his boxers and jeans and quickly slipped them on, evoking a confused face from Kelsi.

"Don't worry I'm not leaving yet, I'm just not really one to hang around naked," he said, scratching the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. She let out a quick breath of relief, glad that he didn't have one foot out the door.

"Me neither, not that you have anything to be embarrassed about if that's what it is, but I think your shirt is by the door if you want it," Kelsi replied with a giggle. Jason shook his head and smiled at her then came to sit on the bed.

"Scoot over, let me hold you some more." He snuggled in beside the wall to wrap her in his strong arms. She eased back into his embrace, feeling their breathing start to slow down as they relaxed from the ordeal. She could tell he was falling asleep and she was close to joining him. Not that her sexual experience would be considered very broad, but the orgasm he urged out of her was more than any woman could dream of on her first go with a guy and it had made her body weak with satisfaction. Guess she could say they had hit it off pretty well.

"Kels?" Jason murmured in her ear.

"Mmmm?"

"Don't let me fall asleep," he mumbled, "shouldn't stay, we both have early mornings tomorrow." She turned in his arms to face him and looked at him with half open eyes.

"You can stay if you want, I'm not gonna kick you out," she said and planted a soft kiss on his jaw. He pulled her in tight to his bare chest and let out a groan at the sweet agony she put him through. He wanted so badly to stay, he wanted to make love to her all over again until the sun came up, but if there was one thing he'd learned since he joined the finance world, being late was not an option.

"You know I want to, Kels," he said as he released her and eased them up to sit. She stretched and tousled her light brown curls so perfectly that he almost took her down again, but he pushed himself to do the right thing for both of them. "Let's make a date for the weekend and you can come stay at my place. I've got a bigger bed," he said with a wink. She faked a small pout then smiled groggily at him

"Alright fine, be the responsible one." He got out of her bed and went to find his shirt. When he returned with it on, he sat back on the bed and pulled his shoes on, trying to remember when he'd managed to get them off.

"I'll call you tomorrow?" he said with a gentle caress of her cheek. She leaned in and kissed him softly.

"You better."
