Part 4 -- Troy's Revenge
Dylan had just spanked me--light, playful, but firm enough to feel it in my spine--and then turned over like it was nothing. Like I wasn't lying there rock hard with my heart pounding in my ears, trying to catch my breath. His last words echoed like a taunt.
"I'll take good care of you."
And now he was on his back, his chest rising and falling slow and even. Tank top clinging to him, biceps slack but still thick, like he was made of stone even in sleep. His lips curved the faintest bit, like he was dreaming about what he just did. Or about what else he could.
I stared at him, stunned.
He was just... asleep?
I shifted slightly, adjusting my leg over the blanket. Jake, dead to the world on the other side, snored once and then settled.
And Dylan just laid there, smug and still.
I exhaled.
Turned.
I rolled over, slowly, deliberately, my back now to Jake, my front facing Dylan. My body pressed into the mattress as I tucked my arm under my head, my face ending up just beside his shoulder--close enough to breathe in the scent of his deodorant. Clean, masculine, faintly citrusy. Close enough to see the stubble on his jaw, the curve of his lips. Close enough to whisper, "Did you seriously just spank me and go to sleep?"
I saw the corner of his mouth twitch.
"Mm," he hummed, eyes still closed. "You didn't seem like you minded."
"I didn't," I murmured. "But I'm kind of still here. And hard."
His eyes fluttered open--barely--and he looked at me sideways, amused. "Oh yeah?" he whispered, smirking again. "You're the one who backed that little ass up into me all night. You started it."
"That was survival instinct," I said, mock-defensive. "You were warm."
"You were grinding."
"You were hard."
He chuckled under his breath, low and warm. "Still am."
I swallowed, my pulse loud in my throat. My eyes dropped to the blanket over his waist. There was a clear outline there now. A thick ridge, barely contained.
"You had a girlfriend," I said, voice quieter. "Didn't you?"
His smirk faded into something more thoughtful. He looked at the ceiling for a beat, jaw shifting. "Not anymore. We've been... done for a while. It just wasn't working."
"Because of... this?" I asked, my fingers brushing his forearm.
He looked back at me, brows raised. "Because she was clingy. Jealous. Didn't like when I trained guys one-on-one. Thought something was going on."
"Was something going on?" I asked, unable to hide my curiosity.
"Not then." His smirk returned. "But maybe now."
I bit my bottom lip, then reached out. Slowly. Deliberately. My fingers skimmed the hem of his tank top, then slipped under it, pressing against the warmth of his stomach. Rock-solid, abs flexing beneath my touch.
"Someone's curious," he murmured, still not stopping me.
"You started it," I said again.
