He blew out a lungfull of smoke and watched the clouds dance and dissipate. She was stroking his chest. Her fingers were too light and the sensation was tickling him. It was irritating. He took her hand in his and moved it away, sat up and walked back to her living room. He found his jeans and pulled them on with his boxers. Jake's phone was in his back pocket and before he could even find his T-shirt, he ordered an uber.
"Are you ok?"
The soft voice lacked the confidence she'd had all night and he looked at her, cigarette hanging from his mouth. Her pale blue bedsheet wrapped around her shoulders but baring the tops of them. Her brown hair hung loose around her face, messed up and tousled from what they'd just done. She looked small and so unsure.
"You don't have to go right away, you can stay the night if you like?" Her brow furrowed slightly. She was being vulnerable. That was unexpected. That had not been her vibe earlier in the night, she was bold and forward, they hadn't talked much and things had mostly been physical.
"Thanks, I'm good," he answered simply, then sat on the couch to put on his shoes. She remained in the doorway to her bwdroom, staring at him and the silence was uncomfortable. Jake started to feel stifled by the weight of her unspoken expectations. She wanted something but he didn't owe it to her to delve deeper than that. Theyd just met. She had made it clear she wanted to fuck him and he did too, and so they'd fucked. It didn't make him feel good to turn her down afterwards but he didn't want anything else from her. He pulled his last boot on and walked over to the girl he had just had his way with. Brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, he kissed her on the mouth- for the first time, he realised.
"Get some rest," was all he said. Her mouth tightened and she pulled the bedsheet tighter around her body. He turned and walked for the front door and closed it behind him without looking back. He'd hurt her. He could see it in her big brown eyes. He wasn't stupid, he knew she likely wanted him to xudke her and go and get coffee in the korning- or whateve couples did. He had read her body and made her cum hard for him. Twice. Not only that, he'd fucked her pussy while fingering her ass, spanked her and been rough and that had unravelled her. Maybe no one else had done those things before? Probably never in the first night. It wasn't his fault he had read her so well, she had been so responsive, how did any of her other partners get it wrong? The dumb fucks.
Jake got into the uber and looked up at her front door. It was a pale yellow, the neighbouring one was grey. He didn't feel guilty in the slightest. He'd probably left her a little rattled but they'd had fun together and he owed her nothing else. As the Uber pulled away from the footpath one thing did nag at him, if only he'd bothered to get her name.
