| Suddenly Ike could not stand it any longer and he was kissing her. Jade's heart was still pounding loudly and Josh fleetingly crossed her mind, until Ike's kiss became more insistent and his hand tangled more deeply into her hair. She felt herself turn to liquid as he continued to kiss her passionately, yet gently and lovingly at the same time. Her hand found its way into his golden-wheat toned curls, and her body melted against his as he pulled them back a few steps and then guided them both to a sitting position on her couch. Jade's hands slipped over his back as he continued to caress her cheek and kiss her, his tongue finding it's way into her mouth and teasing hers. Both were breathing heavily now, both were guiltily thinking of Josh occasionally, but suddenly Ike did NOT care about Josh's feelins and Jade just shoved the image of Josh's face out of her mind, lost in Isaac's attentions. He kisses her like she'd NEVER been kissed before, his soft hands gentle and loving on the parts of her body he was touching through her clothes. He moved his body so that Jade was more comfortable, and his whole being was exploding with happiness that she would let him this close and not ask him to stop. She pressed herself against him, instinctively, and opened her mouth wider, inviting him in further, to take more of her and he responded to her instanatly, kissing her more intensely and stroking her bare arms, back and shoulders. He found himself parting her thighs with his knee, and to his surprise she responded, parting her legs and letting him settle himself there. Jade felt as if she were not really in her body, her nerve endings ready to stretch beyond her skin. When she felt the pressure of his knee against her quickly moistening center, and the slow swelling ache she felt there, she was shocked, but wanted more. She gasped lightly when he pressed against her more firmly then, unconsciously she began to wiggle against him. Their kisses were becoming even MORE demanding, sexy and open-mouthed, and Jade could not stop herself from digging her hands into his sweat dampened curls and let herself take in the feel of his hardness pressing against her thigh. Never in her life had any man made her want to go this far, physically, and now all she could think of was that Ike was the one she wanted to give herself to. She moved one of her hands to his backside and helped as he ground his painfully hard cock against her thigh, and kissed her more deeply. She felt sweat beading up on her own forehead as her breath came faster and she wiggled more quickly against his thigh. Suddenly Ike broke their kiss and looked into her eyes, feeling like he was going to drown in the deep green shade of her desire. She wanted HIM, and he knew from her expression, if HE was not the one to stop this now, she might be sorry later. "Oh god...Jade..." he choked and buried his face in her neck. "Baby we can't do this NOW." he said, his voice muffled by her sweat-damp skin and hair. Jade tilted her head back and let out a low groan. "Isaac...I....Oh god..." she moaned softly, obviously torn. "Jade come here.." he said and sat up, taking her hand in his and pulling her to a sitting position. He cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him. "I want this...YOU..more than anything I have ever wanted in my life." he said forcefully."I am an ass, okay? I'm sorry. I should not have taken advantage of this situation. You've had too much to drink tonight and you and Josh are fighting.." he raked his free hand through his hair and sighed heavily. "You said you wanted to wait until you were married, remember? And if I don't leave right NOW, that may not be what happens.." he said his throat tightening at what he was about to say. "Jade..." Isaac continued. "I can't do this. I want you, god knows I do. But you're not even MINE." he said and turned his face away from hers. "Ike..." Jade managed to say his name, tears stinging her eyelids, knowing that she was partly to blame and he was right. "It's NOT all your fault. It's not.." she told him forcefully. "I didn't have to let you drive me home, I didn't HAVE to ask you up here. I like being with you.." she sighed heavily and wiped her eyes. "And I am sorry for hurting you. I dunno where things are going with Josh. I can't even make myself talk to him right now. But what will happen to the two of you, should I decide that i don't want to see him anymore? I don't want to break up family, Ike. I don't have much and I wish I did." she said. "Just don't leave angry with me. I'd hate that. Because I wish I'd met YOU first." she said and looked at her hands in her lap, tears trickling down her face. "Jade." Ike said and lifted her chin to look into her eyes. "I am NOT angry with you. Maybe myself, and definately Josh.." he clamped his mouth shut for a moment, determined not to win her heart underhandedly. he wanted her to choose him because HE was her choice, NOT because she was angry and retaliating against Josh. "But not you.." he murmured. "I better go, Jade. I will definately see you again. But I am not about to pretend that YOU are not the woman I want anymore. I will be here when you're ready." he stated firmly and got up to leave. "Stay right there, Jade. I'll lock you in." he smiled sadly at her and made his way to the door as she sat and watched him silently, tears pouring freely down her cheeks now. "I'll see you soon, Jade. Sweet dreams." he said softly, twisted the lock and closed the door firmly behind him. "Goodnight.." she whispered to the closed door, wiped her cheeks and pulled the afghan from the back of the couch over her shoulders. her last thought was of his sweet kiss as she cried herself to sleep. |
| Taylor parked the van in it's usual spot outside Jamie's apartment, then ran around to her side, to help her out. "Taylor, I can walk. Okay?" she sighed heavily as she hit the concrete with booted feet. She weaved slightly and slammed her door shut, then brushed past Taylor digging in her pockets for her keys. Taylor rolled his eyes and tried to steel himself for whatever was about to come. "Jamie. I have your keys baby." he said softly and took her by the elbow. "Would you please just calm down?" he asked, his voice low. Jamie only looked up at him, then moved aside to let him open the door. He pushed it open and motioned her inside, then followed her in. He noticed the porchlight on her father's door switch off as he closed Jamie's door and locked it. he turned to see Jamie hurriedly stripping her clothes off, kicking her boots roughly out of her way, and tossing her jeans aside voilently. "Jamie...Jamie stop..." Taylor pleaded, stepping behind her and wrapping his arms around her like he had earlier and holding her close to him. "Jamie please just talk to me...what's wrong baby?" he asked softly in her ear as he pressed his lips to the side of her head, breathing the scent of her hair in and stroking her bare arms. "What's the matter?" he asked again, rocking her slightly as she shook in his arms, her chest heaving as she struggled with her own brain. She shook her head from side to side in silent protest and gripped his forearms as he continued to rock her gently, planting soft kisses on the back of her head and shoulders. Taylor kicked off his shoes and pulled her with him to the futon. He sat down slowly and pulled her into his lap, Jamie so confused she could do nothing but follow his lead. "C'mere.." he whispered and pulled her head down against his chest, as she curled herself into a tight ball. he took her scraped knuckles and kissed them softly. "Jamie..." he murmured her name directly in her ear, then kissed the top of her head. "Tay.." she choked, her voice hoarse from holding back tears all night, "I can't talk now.." she squeaked. "Okay baby..." he answered softly and kissed her knuckles again. |
