Free Beautiful Distraction by J.C. Reed

good excuse or the right to be in his room.
But there’s something about him, about the way he seems so caught up in his
arousal, that makes me want to stay, to break the rules.
    Maybe it’s the fact that it’s night and I can be someone I’m
not.
    Shit.
    I’m probably turning into a peeping Tom. I’m a voyeur.
    I’ll probably burn in Hell.
    But I can’t move. The movements of his hand speed up. His
chest rises and falls. I can tell from the sound of him pleasuring
himself—pumping up and down—that he’s getting closer to orgasm.
    I want to share that orgasm with him.
    My own arousal grows with every move, every shaking breath
he takes, every swipe of his tongue across his lips, and the deep groans of
pleasure escaping his chest.
    I bite hard on my lip until I can taste blood.
    I want to touch him, taste him, feel him inside me.
    I ache to replace his hand with mine as he strokes over the
rim of his head. Suck his tongue into my mouth as he wets his lower lip.
    I want to kiss him. To cup his heavy balls. To take him into
my mouth, if only to release the throbbing inside me.
    I feel lightheaded.
    He has captured my breath.
    The air I’m holding—I have to let it out of my chest,
but I can’t out of fear that he could hear me.
    I know he would.
    But I have to breathe—fast.
    Without blinking, I turn away, not bothering to close his
door, and quickly walk back to my room. As soon as I’ve locked myself inside,
the air comes out of me with a swishing sound.
    I sink onto the bed, my heart beating against my ribcage, my
head swirling, painful regret and trembling desire sloshing through me. My
whole body is shaking, on fire.
    I need him.
    Why didn’t I take him up on his offer?
    Holy shit.
    I had no idea he looks so hot in bed.
    Watching him taking care of his needs is going to haunt my
dreams. Even though we share everything, there’s no way in hell I’ll tell Mandy
about it, or else she’ll make fun of me for the rest of my life.
    This is going to be a secret I’ll take with me to my grave.
    Holy. Shit.
    Through the thin walls—God, is this house made of
cards?—I can hear his heavy breathing and deep groans of pleasure. He’s
getting close to pleasure heaven. I’m frozen in time and space. All I can do is
picture his face, his huge erection in his hand.
    Walls may be separating us, but I know in my heart he’s
going to be my undoing.
    Sure, I had imagined him, us, countless times in the past
few weeks.
    But I never thought I’d see him again. And surely not like this .
    I close my eyes, my mind focusing on the picture of him on
his bed.
    But now he’s no longer alone.
    It’s me who’s doing all the naughty things to him. He’s
groaning while I’m pleasuring him. I like the thought that he’s aroused because
of me.
    My hand slips into my panties. Between my legs, I’m dripping
wet—for him. The muscles inside me clench, the heat unbearable. I slide
two fingers inside me, imaging it’s his fingers that glide between my wet
folds.
    To the sounds coming from next door, I begin to touch
myself. When he comes, my own orgasm ripples through me.

CHAPTER EIGHT

    A rap at the door jolts me out of a dream involving the most
beautiful yet infuriating green eyes I have ever seen. I don’t bother to cover
up my half-naked body as I shout, “Come in.”
    The door opens, but instead of Mandy’s head popping in, it’s
Kellan who’s standing in the doorway. I sit up straight, surprised to see him,
all traces of sleep gone.
    The image of his erection enters my mind, and I remember
last night’s events.
    I remember what I did.
    Oh, the mortification.
    My face catches fire as I cross my legs to hide the after-orgasm
effects.
    “Slept well?” He sports the usual irritating, smug
expression.
    My heart skips a couple of beats.
    Yes, I slept well.
    Too well. All thanks to him.
    In broad daylight, he still looks like the jerk I remember
from our first meeting. A sexy grin tugs at one corner of his mouth,
