Taking Advantage James When I got up to put my clothes on I noticed the look of panic on Kelly's face . Her azure eyes were wide and she held her comforter up to her chest . I slipped on my boxers and smiled at her , hoping to cheer her up , and climbed back into bed with her . She sighed in relief and grinned back at me as I lay next to her and wrapped my arm around her . She snuggled up next to me and closed her eyes . " I thought you were leaving . " She said quietly . " No. Not unless you want me to . " " Nope . " She popped the ' p ' and wrapped her arm over my chest . I smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head . Kelly was like a drug . I knew being with her wasn't good , but I just couldn't stop myself from being pulled in . I had been determined on Monday to just leave her alone and let her do her own thing . But when Ms. Danforth gave her the thick a * s manila folder full of schoolwork she was missing , I couldn't help but ask her if she needed help . I was a goner from there . Especially after seeing her struggle to get her mom in bed . I had seen some of what happened after Kelly had ditched me downstairs and had been trying to go back down when Kelly caught me . I pretended that I was on my way to find her and was glad that she fell for it . But seeing her be a real human being is what gave me a hard - on for Kelly Whitmore . She was gorgeous when she wasn't trying to be a hot , sexy cheerleader . When she had come down the stairs wearing pajamas , it was pretty much game over for me . At school she was fake , but with me she was real . Day after day , despite getting calls from Michael or Lara , I showed up at her house to help her with her homework . She was pretty smart which kind of surprised me . And I also couldn't stop thinking about her . Since she left me on Saturday after her dad's funeral , she was all I could think about . So hell yeah I took the opportunity to hang out with her . It kind of felt like I was a dog fighting for any scraps of affection she would throw at me . I didn't like myself very much for it , but I couldn't help myself . And now I kind of felt like a douchebag for asking her to ride around with me . Lara had left me with a giant boner and before I could even talk myself out of it , I texted Kelly like some sleazeball . I didn't expect to get laid . It wasn't the plan . But had I hoped something would happen . Hell yes , I did . I had told myself I wouldn't take advantage of the fact that she was in mourning and now I was laying in bed with her almost completely naked and feeling like someone killed my cat . " What's wrong ? " She asked me as she traced her fingers over my chest . I looked down at her and shook my head . " Nothing . Why ? " She narrowed her eyes at me and chewed on the inside of her cheek . " Are you thinking of Pink Streak ? " I snorted and shook my head . " No. Not even a little . " 1/4 Taking Advantage +25 BONUS " Then what's going on ? " I sighed . I prided myself on telling the truth , but when the truth was as bad as mine , I didn't know what to say . " I guess ... I feel like I took advantage of you . " Her golden eyebrows rose high up on her forehead and a small smile appeared on her face . " I was thinking the same thing . " " That I took advantage ? " " No , that I took advantage of you . " Of me ? How ? " She grimaced and laid her head down on my chest looking away from me . " I heard you tell Michael that you thought I was using you . " I groaned and sighed . I knew I shouldn't have said that while she was there . I knew I should have kept my stupid mouth shut . I was such an idiot . " Kelly ... " I sighed . I rubbed her arm and stared up at her popcorned ceiling . " I don't even know what to say to that . I mean , I know that's what I felt at the moment , but ... I didn't mean it in a bad way . " " Well ... it felt like it was in a bad way . That's why I didn't talk to you for the rest of the weekend . And also because I heard you talk about Pink Streak . But I never intended to make you feel that way . I wasn't in my right mind and I shouldn't have asked you to do that on Saturday . " " I should have talked you out of it . We were both wrong . But I do apologize for offending you . " " Do you regret tonight ? " " Not in the way you think . " She lifted her face and looked at my face . " What does that mean ? " " It means that I hoped something would happen , but I shouldn't have . Because you're still in mourning and I know that and I still wanted to . " " I kissed you in the car . I made all of the moves . You didn't force anything I didn't already want to do . " " I know I didn't force it , but let's face it , if I hadn't texted you tonight , nothing would have happened . " " It would have happened eventually and you know it . We have both been tiptoeing around all of the sexual tension hanging around us . It was bound to happen . And if I'm going to be honest , I wouldn't mind if it kept happening . " She shrugged her petite shoulders and placed a small kiss on my chest . Hearing her say that she wanted it to keep happening made me harden instantly . Down boy . I grinned and shook my head . I " י guess you're right . But should we ? I mean , don't get me wrong , I like this , " I moved my hand down her arm and over her hip over the comforter . " But I don't want to take advantage . We should take it slow . Be friends . " 2/4 Taking Advantage +25 BONUS My d * ck shriveled immediately at my statement and I felt like kicking myself . Always trying to be the good guy . Except when it came to Kelly . " Friends like you and Pinky ? Or friends like Dexter and I used to be ? " She smirked up at me and I knew what she was talking about . My d * ck was officially confused and stood at half- mast , waiting to be let down again . I shook my head and leaned down and pressed my lips to hers . I couldn't help myself . I was insatiable around her . " God , you make it so hard to be good , Kelly , " I whispered against her lips . She giggled and nipped at my bottom lip . " There's something about you that makes me feel the same . " We ended up having sex a second time and I quickly realized that I needed to invest in some condoms if this was going to keep happening . After she fell asleep I laid awake and wondered what I was going to do with Lara . We hadn't set any boundaries or anything and I didn't even know what she wanted. I knew she wanted me , but beyond that , I had no clue . I didn't want to fuck anything up , but how could I know what not to do ? I wiped my hand over my face and looked at Kelly's sleeping form . She was beyond gorgeous . It was a wonder how I got here and how I could keep coming back and she still wanted me to . I think that as long as we didn't involve feelings , this could continue the way we started . I liked the privacy of no one knowing . I mean Michael knew that I was coming over , but he didn't know about tonight . Should I even tell him ? Would Kelly let Chloe know ? I sat up and reached for my phone in my pants on the floor and saw a few texts from Michael and one from my mom . Mom : You're still out ? You didn't tell me you would be out this late James Allen . Don't make me worry . At least tell me you're safe . Me : I'm safe . Will be home soon . Sorry Mom , lost track of time . Mom : Okay . Drive home safely or call me if you can't drive . I can have your dad pick you up . Or Justice . Or Jordan . Just let me know . Me : I'm good to drive . Promise . Don't worry . Go to sleep . Be home soon . Mom : Okay . I love you . Lock the door on your way in . XOXO Me : Okay . Love you too XOXO I sighed and looked over at Kelly and wondered if she would be pissed at me if I just left . Maybe if I woke her up and told her , she would be okay . I got up and dressed then kneeled next to her side of the bed . She was sleeping on her stomach , her face facing me , a small amount of drool beginning to pool under her mouth . I smiled and ran my hand over her naked shoulder and pushed her long , golden hair out of her face . She stirred and opened her eyes . 3/4 Taking Advantage " Hey , I've got to go . My mom is waiting on me . I wanted to let you know before I left . " +25 BONUS She squinted her eyes and nodded slowly . " Okay . Call me tomorrow . " She laid her head back down and I nodded . I walked as quietly as I could out of her house , locking it just to be safe , and drove home thinking of everything that had happened . I wondered how long it would last . I wondered how long it would take her to realize that having sex with me was just a distraction from feeling everything else that was going on around her . I mean I could see it clearly , I just was an a * shole and was taking advantage , even though she also thought she was taking advantage of me . By the time I got home , I was completely confused about everything Kelly and went to bed kind of in a sh * tty mood because of it . Today's Bonus Offer
