The rest of the day had passed in the most wonderful, warm blur for Kelsey. She couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so comfortable and loved. Even at her parents' house in Iowa she didn't feel this level of acceptance; she'd been absent too long, traveled too far and wide. They loved her, and loved to have her there, but it was no longer her home.

After the meal, everyone cleaned up together, an assembly line of Tupperware, Saran Wrap, and trips to the freezer in the garage. The dishwasher was loaded up and started, with another load soaking in the sink for the next round.

Then it was a quick game of soccer in the front yard, where Kelsey held her own, and back in the house to get the Christmas decorations out of storage for his parents to put up at their leisure in the coming weeks.

Then everyone gathered in the family room to watch Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and home movies of the LaGuardia clan.

"I don't think I've ever been more attracted to you than I am right at this moment," Kelsey said to Jack after watching him stuff an entire hot dog in his mouth in one bite and face the camera to chew it with his mouth open. He looked about fifteen years old.

"Great, now she's going to break up with me, and it's going to be all your fault," Jack said to the room at large.

"Please, baby bro, she must've known how disgusting you were before today," Jeremy said, throwing a pretzel at Jack's head.

"And on that note,"Jack said, pulling Kelsey to her feet, "we're going to say good night."

"Good night," Kelsey called as they climbed the stairs.

"Jack, I'm not even sleepy," she complained as he shut the door. "It's way too early to go to bed, it's barely ten o'clock--"

"Who said anything about going to bed?" Jack asked as he swung her around and pressed her against the door, leaning in to kiss her, cutting her words off.

"Mm, you taste like wine and chocolate," he murmured, stopping to look at her for a moment before kissing her again. He greedily put his mouth on hers, licking into her mouth over and over to taste her. His hands found her waist, fingers digging into her soft, smooth flesh as he held her hips against the wall.

"Jack, can we--can we do this here?" Kelsey asked. "I mean, what if your family comes up to bed? Won't they hear?"

Jack smiled at her, lifted her sweater over her head, and smiled at her again, shaking his head. "First, I'm at the end of the house, so that's an outside wall." He began unbuttoning her blouse, leaning in to leave a trail of kisses as he opened it up. "Second, the bathroom's on that side," he nodded in the other direction.

He slid her blouse off her shoulders, running his hands down her front as he went down on his knees to kiss her tummy. "Third," he began as he unbuttoned and unzipped her pants, sliding them down as she lifted her legs to help him. "Oh, god," he groaned softly as he leaned in to inhale the fragrance of her, breathing warm air on her that she could feel all the way to her toes. "I wish I could just breathe this smell forever, Kelsey, I swear." And he pressed his face into her, biting at the cotton fabric of her undies as she sagged against the door, her fingers digging into his scalp.

"Third?" she whispered.

"Hm?"

"You said there was a third..." she let out a breath as he moved her underwear to the side to taste her moist folds.

"Nnn, you taste amazing, and I don't remember," Jack murmured. As he rose, he pulled Kelsey forward over his shoulder, making her let out a squeak that probably no one heard because hopefully they were all still downstairs. He walked the few steps to the bed with her over his shoulder, and gently lowered her onto it, crawling on top of her after to rest his weight on her.

He grasped her wrists in his hand and lifted them over her head as he kissed her again, opening his mouth wide to capture her lips, pressing her head into the pillow. Kelsey found it hard to breathe, partially because of having her hands held and having Jack pressing on her, and partially because what he was doing was so sexy and knee weakening.

After a few moments, Jack sat up to take off his shirt as Kelsey watched wordlessly. She reached up to touch his chest as he undid his pants. He rose momentarily to take those off as well, then he was on her again, hard body, hot skin pressing on her as he attacked her neck with his mouth.

He moved down her body, making little moans of satisfaction as he went, kissing her, sucking on her hard enough to leave marks.

Kelsey let out little gasps of pain as she felt Jack breaking the small capillaries close to the surface of her skin. Then she felt his tongue licking the spot, cooling it down, soothing the exquisite, burning pain. She was holding his curly head in what was probably an extremely painful grip, but Jack wasn't complaining.

He pulled the cup of her bra over the soft flesh of her breast, smiling when he saw it. He lowered his mouth to it, drawing the already hard nipple into his mouth, rolling it around on his tongue, making Kelsey arch her back toward him as she rolled her hips and made a sound of want.

She wanted to take her bra off, but she couldn't reach behind her, so she pulled the other cup down, and he moved to her other breast, biting it as he flicked at the nipple with his tongue, squeezing and pinching the one he'd left with his thumb and forefinger.

"Ah, god, Jack," Kelsey whispered, eyes closed as she arched her back again, pointing her chin high in the air as her body tensed.

While she was in this position, Jack quickly reached under her and flicked her bra open, pulling it off her body and tossing it aside.

"You're just stunning," he said while looking down at her. "The most beautiful thing I've ever seen." He leaned down to kiss her, deeply, a hand on either side of her. He lifted his head to smile at her.

She smiled back at him, and slid his briefs down his hips, so he was gloriously naked for her. "So are you, Jack," she said with a grin, reaching for him. She pumped him once, twice, making him gasp and hiss from how good it felt. Kelsey loved knowing she could make him feel that way.

He lay down next to her and slid his hand between her legs.

"Oh, Kels," he breathed. "You're so wet, god, so wet for me--" he slid two fingers into her, slowly, making her close her eyes and squeeze him with the sensations he was producing in her.

She grasped his wrist and guided his actions, speeding him up a little, biting her lower lip, looking incredible as she did it. After a few moments, she opened her eyes and looked at Jack.

"One more finger, okay?" she asked softly.

Jack's eyes widened, but he nodded, and added his index finger the next time he pushed into her heat. He put his thumb on her center and began pressing in circles as he moved his fingers, making her head fall back, making her mouth go slack. as she began to move her hips to meet his hand.

He felt her grip on his wrist getting tight, and he knew she was close. "Open your fingers a little bit," she gasped, and Jack scissored his fingers slightly inside her as she squeezed her legs around his hand.

Kelsey could hear Jack's breathing getting labored, too, and wondered what she looked like to him.

"Jack, Jack," she called as she came, and he felt her clench up on him, over and over, until she fell back, out of breath and spent, her entire body slack.

She pulled Jack to her, putting her arms around him to kiss him, over and over, in between taking deep breaths. She opened her legs, and Jack could feel the insides of her thighs were tacky and buttery with her release as he settled his hips between hers.

"Jack, you're hard as a rock, Jesus," Kelsey said with a smile as she grasped him. She thumbed the tip of him, spreading out the soft, creamy pre-release evenly as she pulled him toward herself. "Now we're going to fuck, Jack, okay? Hmm?"

"Yeah," he replied, pushing into her, unable to stifle the groan that came rumbling up from deep inside him. "Oh, god," he moaned, lowering his head to her shoulder. "Feels incredible, you feel incredible--"

"You do too, Jack," Kelsey murmured, digging her fingers into his back as she lifted her legs to cross her ankles around him. "Harder, harder," she whispered into his ear in rhythm with his movements.

He reached around and grasped one of her legs, and lifted it over his shoulder, kissing her calf as he did so, pushing on her, into her amazing heat and depth, over and over until he felt his mind starting to unravel from the sensation of it.

"Kelsey, Kelsey, I'm coming, you ready for me?" he asked. He could feel it coming, unstoppable, like an avalanche of sensation. He could feel her, hot, slick, and close, along his entire length and the tip of him, and it was blowing his mind.

"Yes, god yes, Jack," Kelsey replied, holding herself to his body, wrapping herself around him, grasping tightly as they shot over the edge together.

Then, after, everything unwound, as Jack tried not to just fall down on top of her, crush her with his dead weight.

"No, it's okay, I like it," Kelsey assured him with another soft laugh, holding him on top of her body when he tried to shift to the side.

"But I'll smash you," Jack gasped, trying to catch his breath and hold himself off her with his forearms.

She shook her head, continuing to laugh as she pulled him down on top of herself.

"Please, Jack, this is one of the best feelings in the world," she said, reaching up to kiss his lips. "I love to feel overwhelmed by you, I love it, I do." She nodded at him.

"And I love feeling overwhelmed by you, Kelsey Carlisle," Jack replied a few minutes later, as he finally moved to the side and pulled her into his arms. "And I do, each and every day."
