Around My Town

Warning: Love Scene

After their breakfast, Jason slipped on a t-shirt and button up shirt and helped Kelsi zip into her light sundress. With their comfiest walking shoes on, they decided on a long walk to start off their day. Kelsi latched tightly onto Jason's hand, extremely giddy from the new experience of waking up with him.

"Well, guess this is my neighbourhood," he said shyly, "pretty quiet, not as exciting as New York City."

Kelsi took a deep breath of the dry desert air, her heart flooding with gratitude to be out of that concrete jungle. "Honestly, this is like a breath of fresh air, even walking around in the daytime in New York is a bit nerve wracking for me."

"Well no one will mug you here, babe, not if I have anything to say about it."She looked up at him chuckling to himself and poked his ribs. "Ow! Geez, what was that for?"

"Don't make fun, can't help that I'm small."

"You're the perfect size, baby," he said with a kiss on the top of her head. The Saturday sun cast a warm glow on the pair as they strolled down the sidewalk. Conversations flowed endlessly between them, their footsteps echoing in the quiet weekend hum. Their path meandered for over an hour, taking them on a lengthy route through the quiet streets until they passed a bustling park flooded with a weekend farmers market. They strolled hand in hand through the market stalls, taking in the sights and sounds of local industry. With lunch in hand from a nearby food truck, they found a bench nestled amidst the park's greenery, offering a welcome respite for their tired feet as they shared more laughs over their meal. Kelsi stood and began wandering again, drifting under the shade of a massive willow oak tree.

Jason followed and watched her with a smile, taking in her gently swaying hips as she started dancing to some music in her head. His gaze followed her every move, captivated by her effortless grace and infectious energy. The backdrop of the lush greenery only enhanced her beauty, making it impossible for him to look away. As Kelsi's impromptu dance brought her within arm's reach, Jason couldn't resist the urge to pull her into his embrace.

"You're beautiful," he said softly and leaned in with a tender kiss.

She gripped his forearm, trying to keep from melting until his lips left hers. "And you are one handsome guy. I feel so lucky to have you, Jason."

"I'm lucky to have you too." He released her with a teasing laugh and sat down in front of the tree, leaning back against it. "Care to join me?" He patted the grass beside him, but she stepped between his legs and settled down on the grass between them, leaning back against his chest.

"Anytime." The tranquility of the park cast a comfortable ease over them, but Kelsi's mind was racing with questions. "I was thinking back the other night, you know, about stuff from high school," Kelsi said as she settled her head back onto his collarbone. "Do you remember that night after the Lava Springs talent show? When we all went out onto the green with the lanterns?"

"I do." Jason said as he let his mind go back to that night with her. "I remember you latched onto my arm, snuggling close to me. You have no idea how badly I wanted to kiss you."

"I was hoping you would. Why didn't you?"

"I just couldn't figure out if you were flirting with me that summer or if you just wanted to be friends, and I was too shy to ask. I was a dumb seventeen year old guy, gotta cut me some slack."

"Were you too shy to ask me to prom too? I mean you asked Martha…" Jason winced, and Kelsi recoiled shyly. That one obviously hit a nerve. "Sorry, I've just always wondered why you didn't ask me after the summer we had."

"I wanted to ask you, but when Martha and I got paired up for the prom number, I guess I assumed we were going together. Then when I finally cowboyed up and had enough nerve to ask you to go on the actual night with me, you walked into rehearsals and told all the girls you were going with Ryan. I wasn't gonna screw it all up then, so I asked Martha properly."

"Yeah she did tell me you were very sweet and that she had a great time with you," Kelsi said, twirling a loose string on her dress.

Jason guessed what she was silently asking. "I didn't sleep with Martha after prom if that's what you're getting at Kels," he said.

"Oh, thank goodness!" she said with a sharp exhale that made them both laugh. "She's my best friend and that would be so weird!"

"Did you sleep with Ryan?"

"Gosh no! I wasn't like that."

"But you were assuming I was like that?" he asked with a raise of his eyebrow, playfully feigning offence.

She blushed and turned away. "I'm sorry, no, I wasn't. It was just the thing to do so I wanted to know. I happen to know a couple of my friends got down to it after the prom."

"Troy did, and so did Chad," Jason laughed. He knew it was no secret that those two were going to get laid that night, and if he had've gone with Kelsi, he couldn't help but wonder if he might have too. "Would you have slept with me if we'd gone together?"

"Probably not, I just wasn't ready for that," she answered with another deep blush in embarrassment of the shy and insecure girl she used to be and in some ways still was.

"Well what's past is past, there's no changing it. I'm sorry if I disappointed you by not asking you," Jason said, pulling her closer to his chest.

Kelsi hummed a little to herself, pouring over in her mind all of the time they had missed. As he wrapped his arms a little tighter around her, she let it all fade away. That was then, and they had good times as friends then, but this was now. There was no point in crying over what they might have missed when what they had was right in front of them.

She shifted in his arms to look at him. "It's alright, I didn't hold it against you, we all had fun going as friends. I'm glad you and I are way more than friends now. Took us long enough to get here, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I really like being with you," she said softly.

"Speaking of where we're at, I wanted to ask you…"he paused to take in a deep breath. Kelsi stared, her eyes patient but curious. "Kelsi, I don't want you to become like a friend with benefits. We've been having a great time together and I really like you. I wanted to ask you if you'd be my girlfriend."

Kelsi's breath hitched, a lump forming quickly in her throat. "I don't know Jason," she said softly, "I really like you too, but I'm unsure if we should commit to that. With me going back to school, it might not be the best time for that. Can we just enjoy what we have and see how it goes before we do any labels?"

He leaned in and laid another long kiss on her lips, feeling her hand gently caress his jaw. He pulled back and looked in her eyes again, taking in a nervous breath as she gazed up at him, unsure if he could hold back the words that rushed towards his lips.

"Kelsi, I…" his breath hitched as he managed to catch himself at the last second. "Damn," he muttered to himself and shook his head.

"What?" she asked. "What's the matter?"

He turned his gaze back to her sparkling green eyes and struggled to hold the words back. Until Kelsi, Jason knew he'd never been in love. Then she crashed back into his life with fervour that should have shattered him entirely, but instead she tumbled right into the missing space in his heart and made him feel complete. But he couldn't say those words now, not yet, it was too soon and she was already on edge from this morning no doubt. He stammered to reply with something else, anything else to keep from freaking her out.

But she sat up sharply and held out her hands palm up. "Did you feel that?"

Jason looked up and saw that while they had been relaxing, a fury of dark clouds had formed overhead, a saving grace even if they threatened to put a damper on their afternoon.

"Well that looks bad, come on we better make our way back," he said as the downpour started suddenly. He started to walk away from the tree when he felt a strong tug on his hand that pulled him back. Kelsi hadn't moved and was smiling up at the raindrops pattering down on her face from the tree, seeming lost in its gentle caress of her skin. "What are you waiting for? We'll be soaked," he said as he turned back to her.

She laughed and threw her arms around his neck. "We'll get soaked anyways on the way back, why not enjoy it?" she replied.

Jason grinned and backed her up against the tree, capturing her lips in a heavy kiss while the rain fell steadily on his back. He deepened their kiss without reservation, not caring that they were in a public place. She deserved his best whenever and wherever he kissed her. They embraced under the shelter of the willow oak, waiting out the heaviest part of the downpour in the shelter of its wide branches, but soon they were soaked from head to toe.

The front door clicked shut behind them, sealing out the downpour that had turned their afternoon stroll into a soggy dash back to Jason's place.

Shivering, Kelsi laughed, water droplets glistening on her cheeks. "Well, that was refreshing," she said, attempting to keep her soaked hair from dripping all over the floor.

Jason chuckled, pulling her closer. "You're freezing. Why don't you hop in the shower."

Her cheeks flushed slightly. Their relationship being so new, the thought of showering here gave her the jitters. She hadn't even brought her shower stuff, thinking she'd get one later at home. "Well I didn't bring anything," she replied. "Wasn't sure how long I'd stay today, I didn't even think of it."

Jason offered a kind smile and led her up the stairs. Pulling a towel out of his closet he showed her into the bathroom. "Well if you don't mind smelling like me for a day you can use my stuff. Do you have any more dry clothes?"

"Yeah, I think so." She smirked at the thought of sharing his stuff and went to close the door, but not before he added,

"Just toss your wet clothes out, I'll wash them."

"Okay, thanks," Kelsi answered before adding with a giggle, "don't throw my bra in the dryer."

Once she disappeared into the bathroom, Jason peeled off his own sodden clothes, the warmth of his home a welcome contrast to the chilly rain. He slipped into his bathrobe and gathered their wet laundry, making his way down to the laundry room.

As he returned upstairs, he heard the sounds of the shower shutting off and Kelsi humming a soft tune to herself. A few moments later, she emerged, a towel wrapped tightly around her chest. Her damp hair curled around her shoulders, her skin glowing from the warmth of the shower. The sight of her, so effortlessly beautiful and vulnerable, sent a wave of desire through him. But her shy smile as she passed him to reach her bag gave him pause.

He swallowed hard, reminding himself to be a gentleman. "Feel free to grab something from my closet if you need," he said, his voice slightly huskier than he intended. "I'll just be a minute."

A warm blush crept up Kelsi's cheeks as she heard the shower turn on, thoughts of him in the shower flooding her mind. She pulled her clothes out of her bag but stopped, fidgeting with the edges of her towel. As their connection hung in a delicate balance of attraction and boundaries, she thought about what he should see when he returned. Should she get dressed? She could tell the sight of her in a towel had turned him on, the husky sound of his voice giving it away. But a third time in twenty-four hours? Was she crazy to think that he'd want her again, or crazier to feel like she wanted him again? She was lost in her thoughts until she heard the silence of the water stopping and the sounds of Jason stepping out to towel off.

The bathroom door creaked open, and soon he strolled back into his room, water droplets clinging to his chest and biceps, the towel slung low on his hips. Kelsi's breath hitched. He was so undeniably attractive, his strong hands and forearms a testament to his dedication to his craft. The soft lighting of the room painted his skin in a warm, inviting glow, and she couldn't help but drink in the sight of him. Kelsi's heart hammered in her chest, she'd never felt this way before, so drawn to someone, so captivated by their presence.

Even though the quick shower had cooled him down and cleared his head, it was all for naught when Jason's eyes fell on Kelsi again. She was standing by his bed, hands poised over her unpacked clothes and still wrapped in the towel. Her eyes met his with an expression he couldn't decipher. Was it apprehension? Invitation? A heady mix of both? As their gaze met, a silent conversation sparked between them. A playful smile tugged at the corner of his lips, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.

He crossed the room in a few strides, his heart pounding in his chest. As he reached for her, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. All she could think about was the warmth of his skin, the strength in his hands, and the intoxicating possibility of starting all over again.

When Jason cupped her jaw in his hands, he knew there was no turning back. He pulled her into a deep kiss, their bodies shivering from the lack of clothes. "Kels, I'm sorry, but seeing you like this… hearing you sing…"

"I know, babe," she breathed through his desperate kiss, "I want you too."

"Can I take this off?" he whispered huskily in her ear, reaching for her towel.

She ran her hands down his torso and pulled him closer, nodding her head with a smile. "So long as you lose this too." Her hands quickly loosened his towel and let it fall to the floor. "Wow, you're really ready there aren't you, Gearhead," she said with a wide eyed expression at his obvious physical arousal.

Jason ran his hand nervously through his damp hair, "yeah well the cold shower didn't do me any good with you looking like this." He grasped her towel and loosed it from her chest, letting it drop to the floor with his. His eyes tracked down her body tenderly, even though he couldn't contain a soft smile as she flinched at the sudden exposure. "Yep, I'm a gonner," he groaned as he picked up her bare form and turned to her lay on his bed.

In moments he was hovering over her and began to place soft kisses down her body, eliciting sharp gasps and twitches from her as he both tickled and aroused her. The gentle gnawing she was doing on her lower lip and the creases forming on the comforter where she desperately gripped it gave away just how much it was turning her on.

"Will you let me try some other things, Kels?" he asked as he traced his fingers up her legs. She nodded and slowly spread them to invite him in. He gently slid his hand between her thighs, tunnelling deep, he urged a low moan from her throat that convinced them both that it was a good idea.

"Geez, Kels, how bad did you want this?" he asked with a surprised grin as the liquid sound of his fingers pumping back and forth echoed in the quiet room.

"Badly. Oh my—" she gasped as she tilted her head back in undeniable pleasure. He was reaching deep, tantalizing her with the same delicious pleasure he had tormented her body with before. It made her stomach tighten and her knuckles turn white as she gripped the blankets beneath her. "Oh sh—" she gasped as she clamped her hand over her mouth, stopping some choice words.

He drove deeper, curving his fingers to reach her G-spot, and looked over her convulsing figure. "Uh oh, almost had you cursing, didn't I?" he asked with a devilish grin.

She shook her head playfully. "Mm mm, you'll have to do better than that," she challenged.

He drew his hand away and crawled over her, finding a comfortable place to prop himself while his other hand made its way back down to her damp crevice. She gasped at the next stroke of his fingers, his slow steady rhythm of pleasure making her hips slowly lift off the mattress.

"I'll make you a bet," he whispered in her ear.

"What's the wager?" she groaned back.

"I'll have you screaming profanities by the end of this, and if I don't, I'll let you drive my Mustang."

She blushed a bit, but ran her fingers into his hair as he gently stroked her. "Okay, you're on."

He moaned contentedly; "I better suit up now, just in case," he said with a grin, as he reached into his nightstand. Pressing his fingers deeper and faster into her, he dove down for another strong kiss on her lips.

She arched her hips into his hand and gripped his shoulders, practically jumping off the bed at the feeling. She wanted more, wanted him deeper if that was even possible, and pressed forward to ask for it.

"That's it, get what you need, Kels." He felt her tighten around his fingers, his name repeatedly on her lips, and he thrust them faster to bring her over the edge.

She climaxed with a loud moan followed by a soft whimper of delight, but she bit her tongue, straining hard to win the wager.

"Think you can come again, baby?" he asked.

She panted and tried to catch her breath to answer. "I think so," she whispered, his lips making their way down her abdomen.

He barely let her recover before he nestled between her thighs and started working her over with his tongue. Licking away the evidence of the torment he was putting her through, he made way for the next torrent he expected wouldn't be far away as she raked her fingers desperately through his hair.

Kelsi moaned and writhed, still coming down from the last high, she felt her body tightening again. "You're gonna destroy me, Jason," she cried out as he sucked long and hard on her sensitive clit. Her back arched, a motion that he followed eagerly to continue building her pleasure like a rubber band waiting to snap. He hummed his agreement, as he intended to do just that, the vibration pulling her straight to the edge.

Unable to keep it together any longer, she came again under the intense pleasure that ripped through her body. Once again, no words, only contented moans and shivers of delight as she let go of the high again.

"Wow, you really want those keys, huh?" he said with a smirk before licking up more of her pleasure that he had urged out of her.

"Have you seen your car? Of course I'll put up a good fight," she gasped with a grin of her own.

He crawled up her body, planting kisses everywhere until he made it to her lips. "Damn, woman, you're something else." As he distracted her with another tongue wrestle, he slid easily into her and paused to give her a moment to get used to his full length. How short lived that break was. She was already warmed up and began pushing her hips upwards into his, physically begging him to get going.

As he started to rhythmically thrust, Kelsi moved with him, her body responding to every press with a stronger tightening sensation than she had felt before. She couldn't help a contented moan at his gentle movements, but pursed her lips tightly to keep from saying anything.

"Come on, Kels," Jason whispered in her ear as he thrust deep into her again, "don't be like that."

Shit, I love that nickname, she thought as she melted with the simple shortening of her name, I'm gonna lose this bet. His strong hand suddenly latched onto the headboard as he began to thrust faster and harder. With his motions so deep and so strong driving into her over and over, she knew he was moments away from the finish. He was close, she could feel him twitching despite his now vicious thrusting.

"Kels, you're too good! I have to finish this… now," he gasped as he used the leverage to shift his angle right over her critical spot again. "Come on, babe, just let go with me."

She felt her body screaming in pleasure and slammed her hands on his chest. "Oh shit, that's not fair!" she moaned as her body threatened to explode. "Fuck sakes, Jason!" Her body shook and quivered intensely as she climaxed over and above what either of them could ever have expected. He followed her with a deeply satiated moan as he finally released, her rippling orgasm flowing in time with his like crashing waves of delight.

He groaned louder at how long and strong his own release was, gripping his headboard until he thought the edge might pierce his sweating palm. "Geez, Kels," he groaned. The last time had been amazing, but this time was nothing short of exhausting! He felt completely spent and struggled to ease his body down over hers. When he finally regained some strength, he pushed up on his forearms and planted a few soft kisses on her lips. "I win," he whispered in between the soft pecks and a playful smirk.

She rolled her eyes and sighed with contentment. "Yeah, well, so did I. That was just amazing, Jason." He eased out and stood to deal with the condom, barely remembering his journey out to the bathroom and back when he collapsed on the bed. This shouldn't be happening to him. He was in great condition, worked out all the time, yet she had managed to completely destroy him. He heard her voice, but he was so foggy he couldn't make it out.

"You say something, baby?" He murmured hoping Kelsi would hear him.

"I said, 'are we having dinner or what?'," she repeated as she snuggled her head onto his chest, feeling the need to sleep washing over her body too. He barely managed to get his arm around her before he was out cold.
