Chapter 133

A Lot That Needs Fixing

He fucks me there.

I don't even get my dress off, and he only manages to free his cock from his pants. We're

entangled, hungry and desperate for each other, so it's heavy, but quick.

I breathlessly pant over his lips as we both come down from our climaxes, and my entire body trembles when he runs his fingers down my neck and spine.

"Fuck, you're beautiful."

I smile, still breathing hard.

He stands and settles me on the couch, pulling out of me. He straightens his clothes and heads back to his desk, grabbing his laptop as I fix my dress.

Thirty minutes later, I'm leaning against his shoulder, my fingers tracing small patterns over the fabric of his shirt as he types away.

We, don't even have to speak; being away from him for a week makes just the warmth of

his presence enough.

He finally exhales, stretching his fingers before shutting the laptop with a soft click. He sets it aside, rubbing his tired eyes with his knuckles.

He kisses me on the crown of my head, bringing me closer with his arm on my waist. "I

have so much to do still, but it can wait until tomorrow."

I pull back, tracing circles on the part of his chest that's visible through his open shirt. "Jake."

He hums in response, his fingers idly brushing up and down my arm, his eyes on mine.

"Can we talk about something?"

He stills for a second but composes himself. "Of course."

I continue, choosing my words carefully. "About you and Zaid."
