Chapter Thirteen

FINN

Soft. Everything about Jinx was soft with an almost hidden strength beneath the surface. Every scar on her body, every sarcastic retort and harsh word. All of it was an act—a veil to disguise her inner self. A wall keeping all that softness hidden. But she showed it to me in her kisses and the way her body melted into mine. Made me feel it in the way her hands ran over my flesh, grounding us together. This was the true Jinx, alone with me in that intimate, vulnerable moment. And I never wanted it to end.

“Can I take this off?” She tugged at the shirt I wore, her breaths heavy and fast, matching mine perfectly. She wanted my shirt off? That was easy. I didn’t answer her with words because there was no need to delay; I simply reached behind my neck and yanked the garment over my head. Baring myself.

I had no secrets from her. “Anything else?”

Those lips—so pink and plump and kiss-swollen—tipped up. “Quid pro quo. You take it off, I do as well.”

I fingered the edge of the shirt she wore. My shirt. I liked her in my clothes far more than I was willing to admit. “Do you have anything on under this?” I nearly groaned when she shook her head all slow and teasing.

“Not a thing.”

Death by Jinx. I could see that coming for me. “Then we’ll leave this on along with my pants. For now.”

I went back to kissing her, stroking up and down her back and over her hips. Keeping my pressure light. I’d seen her flinch when she moved certain ways, had felt her recoil when something touched her back. She had pain there—something I didn’t want to exacerbate. So I held back, tried to stay gentle, tried not to hurt her even though every roll of her hips nearly killed me.

Seriously. Death. By Jinx. It was going to be a thing.

“Finn?”

I needed to hear her say my name about six thousand more times. “Yeah, baby?”

“I want you to take your pants off.”

I almost came at her words, almost spilled right there with her in my lap. “Are you sure? We don’t have to—”

She leaned back, taking her weight away, stealing her warmth and closeness from me. “Off, Finn. Take them off.”

Done. I pushed my sweats down, pulling them off and tossing them into the laundry basket across the room. Leaving me naked in front of her. Naked and hard and so ready for whatever was about to come next. Jinx’s smile grew, and she took the time to look me over before rejoining me on the bed. Before straddling my naked body once more. She even leaned back and ran her hands over my chest and stomach, teasing me. Riling me up.

My turn.

“Is this okay?” I ran my hands up her thighs and under the shirt she still wore, keeping them low on her hips. Not pushing her decision but letting her know what I wanted. “Can I take this off?”

She froze for a moment, her hands stilling on my chest.
