Overnight

“I know you two are young, but please go to bed at a decent time? You especially, Kaylee. I don’t want you driving sleep-deprived.”

Kaylee rolled her eyes. “Yes, Dad.”

“I’m serious. If I find out you were up at one, you are going to have the pleasure of being dropped off by me tomorrow.”

Kaylee didn’t answer as she pulled me up the stairs. We barely made it through the doorway of the guest room when she spun around and threw herself against me. Lips pressing against mine, I wrapped my arms around her.

She broke the kiss to look at me, biting her lower lip. Yep, I knew that look all too well. Sadly, it was time to face the music.

“You heard your dad.”

“It’s ten.”

“You didn’t do any homework.”

“I can do it after,” she whispered before kissing me again. Her lovely scent made it hard to breathe with her soft lips against mine. I felt her hands against my chest, working at my shirt. Any more and I might not be able to say no myself…

“Kaylee,” I said after pulling away.

“You owe me from this afternoon,” she said with a pout. I winced. “I didn’t mean it like that.”

I sighed. “As much as I would like to, sex is off the table tonight.”

“What? Why?”

“We used the condom this afternoon…”

She blinked a few times before the light bulb turned on. For all her brilliance, it all seemed to fall apart when it came to sex. “Fuck.”

“I told you—”

“Finish that, and I will call someone over to fuck me,” she warned with a sharp look.

I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. “I’ll get more this weekend.”

“Or…” she said with a shy smile. “Can you…uh… pull out? You know…before…?”

“Kaylee.”

“You did it before. Twice, if memory serves.”

Locking down my emotions, I gave her a firm look. “No.”

Realizing she was dangerously close to a line, she quickly backpedaled. “S-sorry,” she said, running a hand through her hair. “I’m a bit frustrated is all.”

My hands found her shoulders, giving them a comforting squeeze. “You know there are other things I can do,” I said with a suggestive tone. I fully expected her to take up my offer, which made her head shake all the more surprising as she slipped out from my grasp.

“You’re right. I need to do homework anyways.” I blocked her path. She looked up at me with an annoyed expression.

“We going to talk about what happened earlier?”

She shrugged. “It was nothing.”

“Didn’t sound like ‘nothing.’ You almost took off my head.” I waited a few seconds to see if she would say anything more. When she didn’t, I pressed. “This isn’t the first time. Kaylee, if you aren’t enjoying sex with me…” The fact that she didn’t immediately interrupt me or counter that she did enjoy sex with me scared the shit out of me. That she wasn’t meeting my gaze was ominous. “Wait… You are enjoying sex… Right?”

“Of course I am,” she said with a little too much ****. “It’s just…”

“Kaylee,” I said softly. “You need to tell me what’s bothering you.”

Biting her lip, it took a moment, but she finally looked up at me. “I’m still adjusting, okay? This is the longest I’ve been with one guy without having a few flings to break up the monotony.” Her face flushed slightly. “Not that sex with you is monotonous! I…What I meant was—”

“I get it,” I said with a **** smile, calming her down by rubbing her shoulders.

She took a breath before continuing. “Look, I’m not asking to sleep with other guys or anything yet, but I’ve gotten used to experienced guys who can…” She trailed off, realizing where that path was taking her.

“You can say it.” She didn’t say anything, looking away. “Keep up?” She still said nothing, but nodded. It stung, but not nearly as much as I thought it would. It helped that I already knew it was an issue. Still, this issue wasn’t my fault alone. “Can I just point something out? Last Saturday, how many times did I get you off?”

She looked at me, frowning. “Twice?”

“Three times.”

Fighting against a grin, she stared at me. “No… It was definitely twice.”

I waved it off. The number wasn’t really important, even if it was three. “Anyways, I want it on record that when you let me take the lead, I have no trouble 'keeping up' as it were.”

Frowning, she gave me a defiant look. “Yeah, but every time I let you lead, we end up having old people sex.”

I think my jaw fell off at that. “Old people sex?”

“Yes. Old people sex.”

“What the hell is old people sex?”

“The kind of sex that doesn’t get your heart racing because you don’t want to die of a heart attack a few pumps in.”

“That’s… That’s not…”

“It absolutely is,” she said, planting her hands on her hips. “It gets to the point where I’m sometimes thinking, ‘I don’t have all day.’” The impish look she was giving me told me she was teasing.

Mostly.

I sighed. “You are a hard woman to please.”

She managed a grin. “Just now figuring that out?” Reaching out, she squeezed my hands. “But I know you’re trying and things are improving. All we need is a little more time.” Kissing me on the lips, she smiled. “I love you.”

Returning her smile, I repeated it back to her. Sliding past me, I watched as she headed from the room to get her work. Even though she said everything was fine, I couldn’t help but worry. Sex was important to her and it was one area I absolutely couldn’t slack in, not if I wanted to fulfill my position as her one-stop shop for everything. The last thing I wanted was for Kaylee to lower her standards or expectations on account of me. That would only cause problems later.

The problem was, I had no idea how I was going to fix this.
