My heart races when I think about the water dripping off his body. Closing my eyes, I’m transported to a fantasy of his lips running across my skin, and I sit straight up, then stand to stop the thoughts.
Viola: Whatever, Drew.
Drew: Well, good, I was going to anyway. Is everything going okay? Travis’s chicks been keeping you company?
I know he’s smiling.
Thank God he hasn’t brought too many of them home. I had watched it more times than I wanted over the years, and once I was able to avoid it, I did at all costs. Now that the ghost of his touch haunts my lips, I’m not sure I could physically handle it. I swallow hard and know Drew’s waiting for a response, so I grab my phone. Sometimes I wish I could just say what I feel, but that time is not now.
Viola: It’s fine.
I type back, before sending another.
Viola: Something like that.
Drew: Good. Warning, though. Mia’s been a little hormonal.
Ugh. I don’t want to be around her if she’s in one of her moods. I made that mistake once and promised I’d never do it again. But I feel bad for Drew and maybe being there will help break some of the tension. It annoys me, though, that she gets like that when he works so hard, barely taking time off because he wants to make a difference, and he loves his job. I liked her right away when they first started dating, but as of lately, I haven’t really found much to like.
Just to mess with him, I send him another text back.
Viola:I’m staying home then!
Drew: Ha! I’ll see you Saturday, sis! Expecto Patronum!
Viola: You’re an idiot.Avada Kedavra!
At least he could try to use spells in the right context. And yes, I used the killing spell because the thought of being around Mia and him while they are arguing makes me want to murder. I wish Courtney were home, so she could be my sidekick during this little weekend adventure. But at least Travis will be there to distract everyone. He’s perfected that, at least.
I stretch and close my eyes, trying to push Travis out of my mind. Those old feelings I buried so deeply are trying to resurface. I can feel them bubbling on the edge and soon, if I don’t gain control, they will spill over. I’ve tried to ignore the buzzing that’s been roaming my body since he touched me, but it’s useless. His intoxicating lips make me feel like I’m drowning, and with Travis King, there’s no chance of survival.
There was a time I believed Travis would’ve given me the world. Even though we were young, it didn’t matter. I was Ginny Weasley, and he was Harry Potter, and we were destined to be together. Sometimes, when you look at a person, you just know. I knew then.
The first time I met Travis, my ten-year-old heart told me I’d met the person I’d spend the rest of my life with. But the heart was wrong. The heart told lies. It took years to repair the damage he caused, and somehow, he’s ripped off the bandages that held me together. And I hate that I want him.
Something so wrong shouldn’t feel so right. His lips on my skin and his hands on my body make me forget everything. In those moments, it’s just Travis and me, and the raw emotions fueling the fire. I swallow hard and close my eyes tight. My body quickly begs for a release, and I can’t deny the need.
I need water for my parched mouth, but I stop outside of Travis’s door instead of going to the kitchen. I swallow as I put my hand on the knob and turn. I’d never paid much attention to his room, and I shouldn’t be nosy, but curiosity has gotten the best of me. I walk over to his dresser, and my eyes drift over the hardwood. I open the top drawer, and it’s full of photos, baseball cards, and trinkets. On top of the pile are pictures of his childhood dog, Beast, and him and Drew throughout the years, and tucked away is a Polaroid picture of me and him sitting under the big oak tree in the backyard. We aren’t looking at the camera, but he’s looking straight at me. His hair is shaggy, and he’s wearing a baseball cap. He always looked so cute in that hat. My head is tossed back, and I’m laughing hard at something he must have said. I don’t even remember this picture being taken. I turn it over, looking for some sort of date, and on the back I see the words “My Princess” scribbled in a messy handwriting. I can’t help but think about the summer that ruined it all and how things could have been different.
I set the picture back in the dresser and walk over to his bed. As I sit on the edge, I run my hand across the dark blue sheets that smell like summer rain.So, this is where the magic happens.
The light scent of his soap and cologne fills the room. I’m surrounded by him, and the need to have him almost swallows me whole. Sneaking around in his room and lying on his bed in nothing but a T-shirt and panties is a turn-on.
I try to fight the desire until the need overcomes me. I rush to Drew’s room and grab my little black bag and clothes, then go to the bathroom. I turn on the shower and stand there for minutes as thoughts of Travis rush over me like the warm water. I take my time washing my body, the soapsuds dripping down my stomach and legs. I can’t remember the last time I pleasured myself, but I need it.
My hands find their way down my body. My nipples are hard peaks. I pinch one, imagining Travis’s hands touching me all over. It’s almost too much to handle. I move the shower curtain and take my vibrator from its little black bag and turn it on low. I press it against my other nipple and tuck my bottom lip in my mouth. I lean my back against the wall and prop a leg on the edge of the tub, and as soon as I press the vibrator against my swollen clit, I gasp. I can’t hold back the moans. I relive how it felt to have Travis’s fingers deep inside me, pleasuring and pushing me to the limit. I don’t know how much longer I can last as I sink deeper into the pleasure.
I glide the vibrator inside, allowing it to fill me, and I’ve never been so wet or turned on while doing this. My fingers are slick as I run them up and down my slit, and I know it’s because of Travis. My fantasy takes over, and I tug my nipple, allowing a shot of pleasure and pain to course through me. The vibrator against my sensitive bud causes my body to react instantly. Travis was right; it doesn’t feel the same as his touch. He knows what my body needs and wants as if he’s always been my lover.
My body begs for release as the orgasm builds deep inside, but I continue to tease myself, allowing the impending pleasure to linger. I’m right on the edge, and I imagine Travis standing at the bathroom door, silently watching me with a sexy grin on his face as he demands me to come. The fantasy of him is almost as good as the real thing. My body begins to tremble as I move the vibrator along my pussy. The thought of him has me losing myself under the warm water, struggling to stay standing. The powerful orgasm rolls through me, and as I come,hisname leaves my lips.
Chapter 13
Travis
I’m beyond relieved when I finally get to leave work. Today’s been…interesting…to say the least. I’ve been assigned the project of a lifetime, which I’m pumped for, but of course it comes with strings attached—Alyssa Crawford.
Needing to let off some steam, I drive to the gym for another workout. I make sure to take my earbuds in with me this time. I don’t need any more distractions, and the louder the music, the better I lift.
