With Jason at Anna's for the night, Alex and I took it upon ourselves to make the most of our privacy. We lounged on the sofa, pigged out on junk food and of course had sex. Lots and lots of sex. We never once left the vicinity of the living room and long gone was the need for actual clothing.
"I could get used to this," he stated. "Lazy nights in with you."
I smiled. "Me too. I like being myself around you. No one really experiences this side of me."
"What? The gorgeous, funny, naked side?" he asked, quirking a brow.
"If you say so..."
"I do!" he insisted, grabbing my cheeks and smashing his lips to mine.
Before I knew it, he was on top of me again, ready and raring to go.
"What's this? Round five?"
"I think it's six," he retorted, spreading my legs with ease.
He bowed his head and licked his lips, seemingly excited for what was to come. He pressed a kiss to my inner thigh, causing my hips to move on their own accord. I couldn't get enough of him. His touch, his kisses; they were slowly becoming my drug.
"I can't wait to taste you, Ebony."
Holy shit!
I didn't dare reply. Instead, I lay as still as I could as he slowly snacked on me, unable to withhold my cries as the sensations intensified.
"Ohhhhh!"
His tongue darted out in every which direction, gifting me the most amazing high. Moments away from finding my release, I dug my fingernails into his hair and moaned.
"Ebony, sweetheart. Surprise!"
What the fuck?
"Mom?"
Hearing me addressing my mother prompted Alex to pull away, shoving a cushion over his junk just in time for her to come bursting through the front door.
"Oh?
"Oh my God! What are you doing here?" I asked, shoving on Alex's shirt.
I hurried towards the front door and ran straight into her open arms, ignoring the fact I was half naked, sweating and had Alex between my legs only moments ago.
"Surprising you, silly," she informed, kissing my head. "Though, I think you've succeeded in doing exactly that to me."
She winked and lowered her tone to a gentle whisper. "Who's the hottie?"
Oh my godâAlex!
"Hi, I'm Alex," he offered, charming the pants off of her by kissing her cheek.
Thankfully, he'd managed to slip on some jeans in the time it had taken for us to hug it out.
"Lovely to meet you. I'm Jane," she replied, blushing. "I had no idea our Ebony had a boyfriend."
Leave it to my mom to make things awkward.
"Oh, we're not..."
"I've been keeping her all to myself," he interrupted, pulling me in for a side hug. "I guess I just can't get enough."
Mom swooned, completely blindsided by his declaration, though was able to throw me a quick glance to silently send me her approval.
"How long are you here for?" I asked, taking in her rather large suitcase.
"For the weekend. I wanted to surprise you for your birthday."
Oh no!
"You're only twenty-one once!"
"It's your birthday?" asked Alex, clearly stunned.
He pulled away slightly, smirking at my sudden unease.
"Tomorrow. I was hoping it would go unnoticed."
"She's always like this," insisted Mom. "Since she was a kid. I can't make sense of it. Never had a problem getting up on stage but suddenly make a fuss over her on her birthday and that was that."
Alex smiled and squeezed my hip. "Are you shy, darling?"
Again, Mom swooned.
"A little."
"Well, us three should do something low-key. Celebrate your first legal drink."
That, I could handle.
"Absolutely," agreed Mom. "Aunt Nancy wants photo evidence."
"Of course she does," I retorted, cracking a smile. "How is she, by the way? Recovering?"
"Sulking because she couldn't come. Wants me to give you this." She grabbed my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug, simultaneously planting a kiss to my head. "God, I've missed you, sweetheart."
"Same, Mom."
Alex kindly stepped back, allowing us both this moment.
"Where are you staying? I can get the blow up mattress out-"
"No need. I checked into the hotel next to campus. I figured you guys didn't have much room for me."
I smiled, unable to hide it. "I'm just so happy you came!"
We hugged again and this time Alex left, returning moments later with freshly brewed tea.
"So, how did you two meet?" she asked, fishing for details.
"Alex is Jason's brother. He's been staying with us while his house undergoes construction."
"Oh, you have your own house?" questioned Mom, undoubtedly impressed.
She winked.
"And your Jason's brother?"
Mom knew all about my infatuation with Jason and was likely confused as to why I was currently fooling around with his older brother.
"Hmm."
Alex stiffened, unsure of the situation suddenly. No amount of charm could undo the awkwardness and I hated that he was forced into confronting this. How did I even begin to explain that while I once thought I was in love with Jason, I had been wrong. I didn't even know what love was. Not until I met Alex.
Shit!
Did he think I still loved his little brother?
Better yet, did he not realise I was undoubtedly falling in love with him?
****
Meet Ebony's mum! She's a real hoot...
And a total cock block. ð¤ª
