“I want you right now,” he whispered into my ear before carrying me through the stands and toward the locker room.
He pressed me up against the locker, the cold metal against my back.
As we kissed, I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair, tugging on his curls. He pulled away for a moment and smiled deviously before pulling me in even more aggressively.
He bit my lip, gently tugging at it, before slipping his tongue into my mouth.
I found myself wondering what his tongue would feel like on other parts of my body.
As he lowered himself in front of me, I realized that I would soon find out.
