Chapter 25: Sleepover Secrets

KARA

My brother walked in, watching Jason and me in the living room together. “Where did you guys go?” Charlie cocked an eyebrow, suspicious. I bit the inside of my lip, trying not to give anything away.

When we got back, I immediately showered. Jason did the same right after, trying to convince me to let him join me, only to fail. We’ve been lounging in the living room, waiting for everyone else since.

“Narnia,” I deadpanned, causing my brother to roll his eyes.

“Well, thanks to you, we can’t sleep in our room anymore.” Charlie grinned. “So we’re sleeping in yours.”

I retorted quickly, “Not in my bed.”

Jason whispered in my ear from behind me, “We can share a bed.” I replied by elbowing him, but butterflies erupted in my stomach at the thought of sleeping next to him.

“We’re setting up sleeping bags,” Charlie grumbled. I followed him up the stairs.

The boys had all taken a shower and were now lying all over the floor, Milo being the only one in a bed, cuddling with Layla. Liam was passed out, not able to notice.

“All right, well, I’ll see you in the morning.” Charlie yawned, stretching out across his sleeping bag. My eyes glanced to Jason, who was now shirtless and ready to sleep. I tried not to eye-fuck him.

“Night,” Quintin mumbled, shifting his bag so his head was hiding underneath the cover.

The light went out, and Jason and I stood in the dimly lit room. The moon was casting shadows all around us. We stood silently, waiting for our eyes to focus in the dark.

“Where are you sleeping?” I looked around at the ground, searching for the empty sleeping bag, which I couldn’t find.

I faintly saw him grin at me. “With you, of course.”

My eyes widened. “You’re kidding, right?”

Jason grabbed my hand, rolling his eyes while dragging me to my bed. I nervously followed, enjoying the warmth of his hand wrapped around mine. He sat down on my bed and pulled me in.

I stiffened as he pressed himself against my back. “Relax,” Jason whispered, wrapping an arm around my waist so that I was tightly pressed against him.

My eyes closed, and I let the warmth of his body help me relax. But it was hard when I wanted to feel his hands all over my body.

So I waited fifteen minutes for things to settle before teasing Jason. Scooting back, I rubbed my ass against his dick, waiting for a reaction.

His grip around me tightened. I could feel him getting harder against me, turning me on even more. The snores around the room convinced me everyone was asleep, but I didn’t want to get caught.

Slipping out from beneath the covers, I grabbed Jason’s hand and pulled him with me. Tiptoeing out of the room, I led us downstairs to the couch.

Jason pulled my hand, stopping me. “What’re you doing?” My body turned in place. I stared up at Jason in the dark room, his large frame towering over me.

Trailing my fingers up his chest, I stopped once my hand met his shoulder before shoving him back. “This,” I whispered as he fell back onto the couch. I immediately climbed onto his lap, straddling him.

After his moment of shock, Jason’s hand landed on my ass and ground my core down against him. My back arched at the feeling, needing more.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I planted my lips on his. A groan slipped through Jason’s lips as he grasped roughly at my ass.

The sound of our wet lips desperately craving more caused wetness to pool between my legs.

I moaned out as I rode down against Jason, hating the layers of clothing between us.

Jason’s large hand slipped under my shirt and up to my breast, roughly palming it before pinching my nipple.

The sudden sensation caused me to gasp. Pulling back from our heated kiss, I peeled my shirt off over my head, leaving my torso naked.

Jason leaned back against the couch, staring up at me with darkened eyes. “Fuck, Kara.”

Goosebumps erupted all over my skin as he trailed his hands up the sides of my waist and then to my breasts, feeling every inch of skin possible.

My hands landed on the back of the couch as I pressed forward, pushing my bare breasts against his muscular chest.

The skin-to-skin contact caused both of us to moan. The heat between my legs only drove me more wild.

Our lips connected again. As a moan slipped out, Jason’s tongue slipped in, battling my own.

Not being able to handle my heat anymore, I stood up, slipping my shorts down to my feet. “Take off your pants.”

Jason was surprised by my words, his eyebrows shooting up. My body felt like it was on fire, and I wanted to do anything to relieve the ache between my legs.

“As much as I’d ~love~ to fuck you,” Jason’s husky voice began. A shudder went through me, his words adding fuel to my fire. “Are you sure you want to, here?”

As quick as the shudder of pleasure came, it disappeared. Realization hit me like a truck.

I was still a virgin. And Jason didn’t know that. It hit me like a punch in the gut. Would that change things between us?

Suddenly, very aware of my nakedness, I crossed my arms over my chest. Jason must’ve noticed the drastic change in my body.

He shot forward, alarmed. “I ~do~ want to have sex with you,” Jason explained quickly. “I was just making sure ~you~ wanted to.”

The anxiety in his voice caused a small laugh to escape my lips. He had no idea that ~I~ was the problem.

“It’s not that,” I whispered. In the darkness, Jason’s eyebrows furrowed as he waited for me to explain.

“I—I’ve never actually, like, you know.” My jaw clenched at my embarrassment, eyes roaming the room to avoid eye contact. What the fuck was wrong with me?

Confusion settled on his face before his eyebrows shot up in understanding. “Oh shit,” he breathed. “I didn’t know that. I’m so fucking sorry—I just assumed you wante—”

I laughed once again in disbelief. Relief crashed through me.

“I do want to have sex.” The words came out as a whisper. Jason sat silently, eyes trailing my body.

“Kara, it’s like a fucking dream sitting right here in front of you.” Jason’s words tugged at my heart.

“But I don’t want your first time to be at a cabin with your friends and family right above us.” Jason’s lips twitched in amusement.

I giggled at the realization. I was so horny that I hadn’t thought things through earlier. All I knew was that I wanted one thing: Jason.

“Thank you for understanding,” I breathed. “Let’s take this slow?” My lip tucked itself between my teeth. Jason nodded, giving me a million-dollar smile.

Pulling my shorts back up, I reached for my shirt. Jason snatched it, holding it behind him with a devious grin. “I prefer you this way.”

My eyebrow cocked. “Is that so?” I intentionally leaned forward, pushing my breasts together. Jason’s pupils dilated, taking in my nakedness hungrily.

As he continued to eye-fuck me, I took advantage of the distraction and snatched my shirt back. Giggles erupted from me as I tugged it back over my head.

Jason shook his head. “Damn you.” A small smile played on his lips. “Let’s go to sleep before one of them wakes up.”

I nodded, following Jason as we tried to quietly walk up the stairs. The door slowly creaked open, but luckily everyone remained asleep as we crawled back into the bed.

This time, my body relaxed in his arms. Jason’s large frame spooned my small one, providing warmth.

“Good night, Kara,” his soft voice filled my ear. I mumbled a good night, and let myself fall asleep to the soft breathing behind me.

***

A voice woke me from my slumber. “I knew it! I freaking knew it!” someone screamed out, causing me to stir.

“What the hell?” another voice questioned in disbelief. My eyes slowly opened, and I blinked a couple of times to get my vision straight. I was greeted by four very familiar faces.

Layla, Jess, Quintin, and Milo were all staring at me in amusement and shock.

Jess grinned widely. “Sleep well?”

“What?” I croaked, stretching out. Well, I attempted to, but I was held down by the heavy limb circling my waist. My head snapped to the left to see Jason sleeping quietly.

My cheeks turned bright red as the others snickered among themselves. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the guy next to me.

Jason looked so peaceful and innocent while he was unconscious, unable to say anything stupid.

“Like the view?” Jason’s husky voice spoke. My jaw dropped. His eyes were still closed, but I saw a smile playing on his lips.

The sounds of his morning voice immediately had me wet. It was deep and laced with sleepiness. It was the most attractive fucking thing I’d ever heard in my entire life.

“I think she likes more than just the view.” Quintin snickered.

“You guys are annoying,” I groaned, tugging the blankets over my head to hide my pink face. The blankets shifted slightly, and Jason’s head appeared underneath them.

“I’ll hide with you.” He gave me a tired smile, and the butterflies in my stomach went wild. “Mostly because I want to sleep longer.” Jason’s eyes closed. I smiled and shifted so my whole body was facing him.

Jason cracked one eye open, staring at me in amusement before leaning in. I almost stopped breathing when I felt his lips softly touch mine.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away and gave me a smile. “We should just stay here and kiss all day?”

I shyly laughed, hiding my face in the pillow while blushing. Jason’s deep laughter filled my ears, and his arm snaked around me, pulling me closer to him.

JASON

I couldn’t help but laugh at her as she buried her face into the pillow. Kara was incredibly fucking adorable in so many ways.

“All right, lovebirds, get out of bed,” Layla said, ruining the moment, and the others laughed. I rolled my eyes, completely forgetting they were still in the room.

The covers were ripped off Kara and me.

I sat up on my elbows, glaring at them. “Why are you still here?” The four were standing there, staring at Kara and me as if we were the most fascinating things on earth.

“When did this happen?” Q raised an eyebrow, giving me a knowing smile.

I grinned back at him. I definitely owed him a big thank-you for helping me grow some courage. Part of me knew that Kara was too good for me, but that only made me want to be good enough for her.

“Yesterday, after I covered myself in whipped cream and chased her through the woods, threatening to destroy her.”

“Kinky.” Jess gave us a thumbs-up.

Kara sat up and stared at Jess. “Kinky indeed.” I didn’t even have to look at her to know she was rolling her eyes. I smiled to myself.

I could definitely get used to this.

“Now out.” Kara shooed them, but then stopped. “Where’s Charlie?” she asked suspiciously. Her head spun, searching the empty sleeping bags for her brother.

“Liam and Charlie went running this morning. Don’t worry. I don’t think he saw you. Jason wouldn’t be breathing right now if he did.” Milo laughed.

I glared at him. I forgot all about Charlie.

I wanted to talk to him first. It wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t. Especially since we’re friends. Fuck. I couldn’t mention all the other stuff, but I do like Kara.

Kara’s body relaxed at the piece of information, and she stood up, walking over to her bags. I studied her, watching every move she made. Kara was beautiful.

“Jason.” I ripped my eyes away from her and to the annoyed guy in front of me. “Did you hear anything I said?” Q asked.

“No, I was distracted.” I smirked at him as he tried to not laugh at me. The girls left the room, and I stood up, pulling a shirt over my head.

“I see you finally admitted your feelings to yourself—and well, Kara.”

I nodded, feeling proud of myself. “I owe you one, man. Thanks, Q.” I slapped his back.

“What are friends for?” Quintin grinned at me. “Oh, and I suggest you talk to Charlie too. Before, you know, he finds out the hard way.”

I gave him a tight nod. “I’m going to go wait for him,” I replied and walked downstairs, then out the front door. The sun hit my eyes. I covered them as I walked forward to the picnic table.

As I sat down, Charlie appeared at the edge of the forest. “Charlie!” I yelled out after him. His brown hair was tousled everywhere from his run. He turned at the sound of his name, jogging over to me.

Charlie cocked an eyebrow. “Yeah?”

“Can we talk?” I looked around, trying not to make direct eye contact. Fuck, I was nervous.

Charlie sat down across from me. “What’s up?” My stomach twisted into a small knot, not sure as to how he was going to react. ~Hey, I’m trying to fuck your sister, is that cool?~

I shook my head. It started off that way, but now it was more. Even though we were friends, I wanted him to still accept me as a potential boyfriend for Kara.

“Well, uh... I kind of like your sister and—”

“No.”

“What?” My eyes snapped to Charlie. He sat pin straight with a stoic face, eyes boring into my soul.

To say I felt intimidated was an understatement. Charlie was the happy-go-lucky guy who rarely ever got angry. Seeing him like this almost made me piss myself.

“I said no.”

My stomach dropped. “What do you mean no?” I asked in disbelief. His face was blank, and his eyes continued to bore into my own. Why would he say no? My chest tightened at his words.

And then the asshole started laughing. “Your face!” Charlie snickered, clutching the side of his stomach.

“I already know you and my sister like each other. You’d have to be blind not to know that.” He rolled his brown eyes at me. “I just wanted to give you a hard time.” The dickhead smirked.

“Asshole,” I hissed at him. Charlie grinned. Sitting up straight, I asked, “So you’re okay with it?”

Charlie folded his arms, shrugging in the process. “It’s not like I can do anything. Kara would be pissed if I said no, and even if I did, she would never listen to me.”

I smirked to myself as I imagined Kara yelling at Charlie. Stubborn little thing. My dick twitched at the thought of her.

“Besides, you seem to make her happy,” he mumbled the last part, looking away. I let out a deep breath as he said those words.

I could feel my heart swell up with happiness. It made me feel relieved that I could make her happy.

“You had the balls to come and ask me, and I respect you for that.” Charlie gave me a smile, which I returned, but then it dropped and he went dead serious once again.

“But if you hurt her, I won’t hesitate to break every bone in your body.”
