Chapter Fifteen

Elijah I listened to my friends chattering, feeling both relieved and anxious. Relieved, because they were talking so much they were covering for the fact that I barely said a thing about the movie. I couldn’t say what it was about if I tried. Sure, there were some explosions and fight scenes, but they bored me so much that I fell asleep, I wasn’t sure how much of the movie I watched. I was lucky because Sophia didn’t take a single glance at me throughout the whole movie to see just how bored I was, but she still caught me sleeping.

That right there was the basis of my anxiety. Also because Sophia was looking at me oddly instead of following the conversation. She should have wanted to, but maybe she was onto me.

Shit.

“Hey, guys!”

I looked around at Dana’s voice, feeling relieved again to see her and Logan, probably for the first time. She could distract Sophia.

“We were thinking of going out to eat before we head back,” Logan said. “Who wants to come with? Just a heads up, everyone better have their own cash, all right?”

There were some grumbles, but plenty of the guys went ahead and said they’d go. I looked down at Sophia, ready to say we’d be going along, but the blank look on her face made me still.

“I’m feeling a little tired,” she said, giving Dana and apologetic look. “I just wanna head back to the dorm if that’s okay.”

“I’ll take her back,” I said immediately. “We’ll see you guys later, okay?” I pulled out my wallet and tossed it to Logan after pulling my ID out. “Everything’s on me, just don’t go too crazy.”

Logan caught the wallet, looking at me in surprise. Then he seemed to get a clue, and he grinned, turning to our other friends, who’d gone quiet for the short exchange.

“Hey, guys, let’s go before he changes his mind!”

That got them to clear out quickly. Sophia looked up at me with an arched eyebrow.

“Was that okay?”

I shrugged. “They won’t make a dent in my wallet; they’re not that bad. And I’d rather stay with you,” I added honestly.

That seemed to mollify her a little, hopefully distracting her thoughts. We’d gotten close recently, but I didn’t think it was close enough for her to forgive me if I told her the truth about the whole dating site thing this early. I never wanted to have to admit to it if I didn’t have to. At the time, it seemed like such a good idea, and while it didn’t end in me pranking her, it did come out as something even better. But thinking back on it, I couldn’t help feeling guilty for prying into her privacy like that, then trying to use it against her.

I held her hand tightly all the way back to campus. There were no words between us, because I didn’t know what to say, and she was probably still thinking. I needed to stop that as quickly as possible.

Instead of taking her to her dorm, I dragged her toward my building. She didn’t say a word as we made our way inside and up the steps. I unlocked the door, pulled her inside, then pressed her against the door and took her lips in a rough, wet kiss.

Sophia breathed out a shaky moan between our lips, her hands moving to clutch at my shoulders, nails digging in. I just pressed her harder against the door, one of my arms around her waist, my other hand holding her by the nape so I could tilt her head right. I licked her lips until she opened her mouth, then thrust my tongue as far as it would go, only pulling back when we both needed to breathe.

“Elijah,” she panted, looking up at me with surprised eyes, but the desire was obvious in them as well.

“What, Sophia,” I murmured, ducking down to pepper kisses all over her neck. “Do you want me to stop?”

I took a patch of skin between my teeth, biting down lightly as I sucked, hard, and Sophia gasped and moaned as her body squirmed between mine and the door.

“No,” she whimpered, her arms circling my neck and holding onto me so tightly like she was afraid I’d pull away. “Don’t stop, please.”

I grinned against her skin, having no intention of stopping.

“I’m going to fuck you, Sophia,” I said right at her ear, licking and nibbling lightly at her lobe. “Would you like that?”

“Mm-hm,” she murmured, nodding her head against my neck.

I had her express permission, and I didn’t move slowly. She was in another dress, and I was too impatient to get it off her, so I bunched the fabric in my hands as I tugged it out of the way. I was already rock hard in my jeans, how could I not be with Sophia in my arms and willing? My hands pushed at her panties, and she kicked them off without letting go.

“Hold on tight to me,” I instructed, making a sound of satisfaction when I felt her arms tightening. “Now, hop up just a little bit for me.”

I held the back of her thighs, tugging her up as she hopped, wrapping her legs around my hips. I cursed as I struggled one handed with my belt and fly, keeping the other around Sophia. She moaned a little, pulling one arm from around my neck to help me out, her breathing ragged against my ear. I shoved my jeans and boxers down to my thighs, my cock bobbing out and slapping against Sophia’s sex, making both of us moan.

“I want you so bad, Sophia,” I whispered against her skin, shifting my hips until the head of my cock teased at her entrance. “Tell me you want me?”

“I want you,” she breathed out.

I buried my face in her shoulder as I moved my hips, thrusting my cock into her body. She cried out, limbs tightening around me, her walls squeezing around my cock. I froze for a moment, wondering if I was going a little too fast, maybe. We hadn't done much foreplay, and I didn’t even check if she was ready for me. I cursed myself out in my head for being so careless just because I was panicking.

Sophia clutched my hair in her hands and tugged on it, a little whine in her irregular breathing as she squirmed against me.

“Move,” she demanded. “Elijah, fuck, just move already!”

I growled a little but did as she said, pulling my hips back, then snapping forward. She made a rough sound in her throat, and I waited until I was sure it wasn’t a sound of pain. Then, I started moving, and this time I didn’t stop, fucking her hard against the door.

“Elijah!”

We weren’t even pretending to be quiet. The walls in the dorm—and the doors—weren’t so thick that people wouldn’t be able to hear us, but I didn’t care. The panic was still there that Sophia might change her mind about me and never want to see me again. There was no way I could just let her go, though. I’d come far from not caring much about her, to thinking I’d be messed up if I didn’t have her in my life.

I could hear Sophia’s gasps and moans and feel her breath on my ear. I mouthed at her neck, nibbling lightly, licking, and sucking. If I could leave marks on her, I intended to. She’d be mad about it later, but right then, neither of us cared much about anything but each other. I wrapped my arm tighter around her, fucking her even harder, the sound of our skin slapping almost drowning out the sounds coming out of Sophia’s mouth.

There was no way to get her dress off without stopping, and that was the last thing I wanted to do, but I did want to touch her more. I reached underneath the dress with my other hand, cupping my palm around her breast and squeezing. Sophia’s back arched as she made a strangled sound, pushing her breast into my palm.

I tugged the cup of her bra down, then nudged her chin up as I kissed down her neck to her chest. I removed my hand from underneath her dress, reaching around her for her zipper, tugging it down enough to slip the dress off her arm so I could get my hand inside the top of it. Revealing her breast. My lips wrapped around her nipple, rolling it with the tip of my tongue, between my teeth, as I sucked on it.

“Elijah!” Sophia practically screamed my name, making my whole body shudder.

I sucked even harder, reaching my hand between us to rub furiously at her clit with my thumb. She let out a short scream as her walls clamped down, convulsing hard around me. I jerked my hips a couple of times, groaning as I came, filling her up with my come.

Our bodies shuddered through an orgasm as we held each other through it. My legs trembled a bit from the force of it, and I pushed Sophia further into the door, so I wouldn’t drop her. Our chests brushed against each other as we both panted for breath, our bodies calming down slowly.

After a while, I pulled back, hissing as my softened cock slipped out of her, and Sophia moaned a little and squirmed again. It was a bit awkward, with Sophia’s shaky limbs still clinging to me and my pants around my thighs, but I turned us around and walked us over to the bed.

“We’re not done, Sophia,” I said, my voice low.

She blinked her wet eyes up at me, her face blushed a dark red, mouth wet and parted. Her chest moved up and down, and my eyes ran over her exposed breast, still wet from my spit.

Delectable.

“Is that okay?”

She bit down on her lip and nodded slowly.

I grinned down at her. “Good. I’m going to make you feel good, okay? So good…”

I stripped us both then lowered my body on top of Sophia’s, taking her lips in another kiss, thinking we were going to have a very long night.
