Millions of thoughts must have ran through Jeremy's head as Tallis climbed on top of him. [i]"Stop her. Stop this. Fall out of bed. Run. ANYTHING."[/i] But he didn't act on anything. Instead, he embraced her, one hand slipping up to to her face and neck, and the other one gripping her back. He had even heard quiet footsteps approaching his door, which made him pause for a second, but as soon as they walked away, he continued. His mind tried to pull him away, but he wasn't going to let it. He's been waiting for this for too long. Too many sleepless nights. Too many women whom he chased to give him a fraction of what Tallis made him feel. He deserved it. He stopped for a moment, catching her gaze and smiling deviously. He tugged his shirt over her head and began to kiss her neck and chest. ----------------------------------- Solomon wiped his phone and checked his text from Kaci. "It's happening," he mumbled to himself as he read it. "Let me finish this bike and I'll do the rest later. Come over." The thought of Jeremy getting as wrapped up as he was in Tallis as he was last time made him sigh. ----------------------------------- Jeremy had Tallis laying on him again, except there were a few differences from last night. The room was hot, they were both sweating, and they were naked. He wasn't really sure what to say, his mind was exploding inside. Part of him hated himself for giving in so quickly to her, part of him couldn't even put complete thoughts together to the euphoric feeling surging through him. "You've, um... grown up," he said with a chuckle. His mind flashed back to Kaci, who he knew had approached her door and walked away. He grunted as he reached for his phone on the nightstand, remembering his injuries. "Kase. Are you home? We haven't been able to talk the past couple days. Love you" Jeremy took a deep breath and pressed a kiss into Tallis' hair before moving her gently off of him. He stood up and stretched, went to his dresser, and grabbed a pair of gray sweatpants. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth, then returned to the edge of the bed. "I'm gonna make breakfast. You can shower while I do if you want." He turned around and scanned her head to toe. "You're beautiful," he said before leaning down and kissing her. He hated being or feeling sappy, but he couldn't control himself around her. A shirtless Jeremy descended the stairs and walked towards the kitchen to see that his little sister had started breakfast. "Hey, stranger," he smiled and walked towards the fridge to get some ingredients. The club had been keeping him so preoccupied, and he held a lot of guilt for not showing Kaci the attention he wanted to. Thinking of the day that he found out he was going to have a little sister filled him with warm feelings. He was 6 and his parents had been fighting constantly, mostly about his dad's involvement in the club. His mom always said she didn't want to be someone's "old lady" and that she regretted ever meeting his father, but it seemed like the birth of Kaci had calmed the house for a while. When she was about two, the fighting began again. "Jeremy is going to turn out just like you, a worthless piece of shit riding a motorcycle. And Kaci's gonna be like me, waiting around for a guy who is never going to love her." They had been going at it for what felt like hours, Jeremy pressing his face between the stair case bannister to get a view. It was a normal night at the Tillman house. Once his father passed away 7 years later, Jeremy's mom finally got her freedom from the club and his father. She packed up and left, leaving 15 year old Jeremy and 9 year old Kaci with the Black family. Events of the past made Jeremy protective over Kaci, sometimes [i]too[/i] protective. They always had to fend for themselves, and Jeremy subconsciously took on the role of older brother AND father. He'd scare away any guy Kaci got close with and always made sure she was safe, either sending a member of the club to drive by where she said she'd be or panicking when she wouldn't be home by midnight. He knew she was an adult now, but the thought of losing her like they did their parents trumped logic. He especially never wanted Kaci to get involved with anyone from a club; she deserved better. "I'm sorry I haven't been around lately, Kase" he frowned as he spoke.
