"Hey, Kate."
Kate stood on her doorstep staring at the man in front of her. She felt like she'd seen a ghost. She hadn't seen Jack in a few months, not since his addiction got out of hand. Aside from a few drunken texts and phone calls, he had respected her wishes not to be in contact.
"What are you doing here? Is everything okay?" She hugged herself, chilled from the night air.
"It's over, Kate." He slid an AA coin between his fingers. "I got clean." He watched as Kate stared, her mouth agape. He suddenly felt even more nervous than he did when he knocked on the door, if that was possible. "I'm sorry. For all of it."
"It's really over?" She whispered.
"I promise. It's over." Despite all the possible ways he had imagined her reacting, he wasn't prepared for her reaction. She jumped into his arms so quickly he stumbled backwards as he tried to get his balance and hold onto Kate. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms tightly around his neck. It was hard for him to breathe with her holding him so tightly but he wasn't about to tell her that. As he carried her into the house her lips were all over his jawline and neck, kissing and nibbling in a frenzy.
He dropped her on the couch, letting her pull him by the shirt into another heated kiss. Her tongue swept over his lower lip, desperate for his. He quickly complied, cupping her face in his hands.
Kate fiddled for a moment to unbuckle his belt. She quickly had his pants and boxers pushed down to his ankles. She bit her lower lip. She'd forgotten how chiseled he was. She'd forgotten how big he was. She slid out of his grasp, kneeling in front of him. Her slender fingers stroked him, her thumb brushing over the tip.
"Dammit, Kate" he groaned loudly, grabbing at her hair. She looked up at him as she moved his member to her mouth, taking him all in. She moaned softly, the vibrations sending him to the edge.
She sat up, smirking. It hadn't taken long for him to finish, which was unlike him. "It's been a while," he said as if he could read her thoughts.
"We can make up for lost time," she said seductively.
"Should we maybe talk?"
"What's there to talk about? You still want to be with me?" Her voice suddenly grew nervous.
"More than anything. You and Aaron were my motivation to get clean."
"And I still want you. I never stopped. As long as you're clean I'm all in."
"I'm all in, too," Jack smiled.
"Now get over here," she teased as she used a finger to gesture to come her way.
"You're so wet," he groaned as he slid one finger and then two inside her, getting her ready.
"I want you inside me. Please." He couldn't resist her pleas. He pushed inside her gently, knowing it had been as long for her as it had for him. "Jack," she panted as he increased the speed. He used his thumb to roll circles around her bundle of nerves. Kate shattered under his touch, crying out his name as she did.
He lowered himself to kiss her before letting his lips roam down her neck to her sensitive collar bone. His kisses stopped at her breasts. He bit and sucked at her hardened nipple before paying the other one just as much attention. He didn't stop there, he continued to trail down her body. His hands ran down her perfect legs. He bit at her inner thigh, eliciting a giggle. Her giggles stopped the minute his mouth invaded her. He let him tongue swipe up her folds, his fingers pushing inside her. Before long she was riding another orgasm, pulling on his hair as she clenched around his fingers.
He leaned up to kiss her again, loving the way she moaned at her taste on his lips. As they kissed she grabbed his piece and moved it to her entrance. She bucked her hips, signaling that she was ready. That was all her needed. He took her by surprise, slamming into her harder with each thrust. It didn't take long for them to explode together, Kate's nails scratching down his back as she did.
"Jack?" She asked quietly as they shared their afterglow. She lay curled into his side, her head on his chest.
"Yeah?" He stroked her hair.
"You know," she sat up to make eye contact, "I never stopped loving you."
"I never thought you did," he admitted. "If you didn't you would be running by now."
Kate bit her lower lip nervously. He had a point.
"Hey," he grabbed her hand, "I never stopped loving you. I never will."
Kate smiled widely. "That's all I wanted to hear."
"I'll never stop telling you," he smiled before pulling her back into his arms.
