Page 63 of Old Habits


Font Size:  

Just two kids making out on the couch, forgetting all about the movie playing in front of them. My ears focus on my mother’s office door for a second, just in case it opens suddenly and I wonder if Sara said she’d be home at five or six…

I pause as a laugh clenches my throat.

“What?” Jovie asks, breathing hard.

I glance around my house. I own this place. I’m an adult and yet, here I am, scared my family will walk in and catch me with Jovie.

Just another old habit, I guess.

“Nothing,” I say, taking her lips again.

She pulls my bottom lip between her teeth and gently sucks on it, sending me back in time. Jovie and her various moves. God, how I’ve missed this. Her little moans. That subtle grind of her hips. From our first kiss all the way to the end, it never grew boring, that’s for sure.

“Will...” she whispers.

“Yeah?”

“You’re kind of... stabbing me a little...”

I shift backward and grab the TV remote pressing into her hip. “That’s not me...”

“Oh…” She covers her mouth and laughs. “Whoops.”

I let it slip from my fingers onto the floor and I ease in close to kiss her again.

Jovie lays a hand on my chest. “I really should go, Will.”

I take a deep breath, relishing in her scent. I’m not ready to let go of her yet.

“I know.”

We kiss once more, long and deeply, before she slides free from my grasp and stands up off the couch. I force myself up and follow her through the house to the bedroom.

She bends over to grab her boots and sits down on the edge of my bed. “This was fun,” she says.

My erection throbs in my jeans. “Oh, yeah. It was.”

I admire her, watching as she steps one foot into her boot. Long, brown hair falls over one side of her face, casting shadows along the bridge of her nose. I can still make out the faintest color of her shining eyes and the hint of rouge on her cheeks.

“Jovie, I don’t want to stop seeing you,” I say.

She pauses and looks up at me. “I don’t either.”

“Go out with me again.”

“When?”

“Tomorrow night.”

Her lips twitch. “I’m pretty sure Jovie Watch will be just as annoying tomorrow night as it was tonight.”

I furrow my brow. “I’ll think of something.”

“Like what?” she asks.

“Something.”

She chuckles as she ties off the other boot and sets her feet on the floor. “Sounds like a plan.”
