Lex leaned in pulling Brace towards him, fitting his lips against hers slowly giving her time to pull away if she wanted to. Gently dragging his lips back and forth across hers, causing sparks to head directly to Brace's core. Her eyes slid closed when Lex softly pulled her bottom lip between his teeth, her hands coming up to tangle in his hair. Pressing his lips back to hers and giving a teasing swipe with his tongue to gain entrance to what he sought. With a moan, Brace pulled him back, onto her as she opened her mouth and felt his tongue slowly slide in to mate with hers.
Her bones felt like they were melting as she pressed herself more fully against him, his hand coming to tangle in her hair, he deepened the kiss even more coaxing her into taking from him like he was taking from her as their tongues acted out what their bodies craved for. Tightening his hold on her he rolled her over so that she was straddling his thighs as he broke their kiss, tilting her neck and placing a kiss on the pulse beating rapidly just at the hollow of her throat. Arcing against him she let out a moan as he nipped the pulse point, then soothes it with his tongue. Brace ran her hands through his hair teasingly tugging on it to bring him back up for another heated kiss.
His hands ran down her back as he deepened the kiss, leaving one resting in the small of her back as the other settled on her hip, pulling her even more tightly against him. If she doubted the effect that their kisses were having on him it was quickly dispelled when she felt his hardness between her thighs, cradled against her core. Moaning in absolutely lust, she ground against his erection arcing her back against the sensations that streaked to her center. Lex couldn't contain his own groan when he felt her arc against his rigid flesh.
"Jesus Brace! Can you feel what you do to me?" he gasped
He didn't give her a chance to respond, he grabbed her hips and rolled her back under him pinning her down with his groin nuzzled tight against her heat and taking control of their kiss. He wanted her right now, and she wanted him and nothing was going to stop them from satisfying that need for each other...
"Brace? Lex? You both up now?" Jake yelled with a loud knock on the bedroom door, it was like a bucket of cold ice water over their heads.
They broke apart, resting their foreheads against each other, breathing heavily as they tried to regain control.
"Your brother has impeccable timing" Lex said with his customary smirk.
"Yeah I was going to say shitty timing" Brace said with a chuckle.
"Seriously guys are you up? We're making plans for the day" whined Jake from outside door.
"Jake, grown men don't whine! And yes we will be right out" answered Brace.
"I'm gonna go shower and then I need coffee" Brace said as she headed to the ensuite.
A short while later Brace re-entered the bedroom to find it empty. She looked in the dresser, thankful to find her pack-rat of a mother had kept some of her old clothes. She grabbed a t-shirt then on her way by her brother's room stopped for a pair of his shorts.
The toaster popped just as Brace entered the kitchen, Jake was in front of the stove cooking, eggs and bacon by the delicious smells wafting up from the pan, and Topaz in charge of the coffee and toast. Jake partially turned,
"Great timing, what do you think about getting away from it all for the weekend? Head to the cottage and just chill and enjoy the solitude for a couple days."
"Ah, sure! All of us?" Brace asked looking through her lashes at Lex.
"I can't go up today I gotta work but will try to get up tonight or tomorrow." Lex said not meeting her eyes.
"No worries man, it's last minute so I know work comes first" Jake replied.
"Yeah, speaking of, I better get going before I am late" he said as he ran to grab his gear from Brace's old room.
"Brace, you want eggs?" Jake asked.
"Yes please, I am just going to walk Lex out."
Brace followed Lex from the kitchen and into her old bedroom, closing the door behind her.
"So are we really doing this again?"
"Doing what?" he questioned not meeting her eyes.
"Damn it! Stop it! Are we going to pretend that kiss didn't happen? I am not planning to run again but do need to know what footing we are on."
"Brace, your brother is my best-friend and I shouldn't have - "
"Stop, I got it! Another girl in the long list of girls, I should have known better, for the second time."
"That's not true! Brace - "
"Just go, don't want you to be late for work" as she walked out of the bedroom.
Lex followed into the kitchen, calling out good-bye and headed out. Starting his bike with a rumble, cranking it and tearing off down the street.
"Alright lets get packed and leave within the hour, Topaz we'll swing past your house too incase you need to grab some things" Jake stated.
After stopping at Topaz's so she could leave a note for her father and grabbed some clothes they headed to the cottage. The trip was uneventful and they made great time in getting there. Leaving Topaz and Jake to unpack, bickering about where things should be put away to, Brace went out to the dock to take in all the quiet scenery.
They spent a lazy day, swimming, sun bathing and Jake did some fishing. As Brace cleaned the dishes Jake's phone rang, while she could only hear one side of the conversation the gist of it was that Lex wasn't coming up. Brace excused herself after she was done, claiming exhaustion and headed to bed.
*****
Back at home Lex's day had started shitty and stayed that way. First he was late, so got chewed out by his father, then the camshaft he had ordered for the custom bike rebuild arrived damaged. He decided that he needed a night out with the guys, minus Jake of course, taking out his phone he called Erik.
"What are you guys up to tonight?"
"Hey man! Not much, thinking we are going to hit up Sassy's tonight after work" Erik replied.
"Sounds good, will catch up with you there."
"Cool, I'll call Jake and let him know. He can tell Brace and Topaz so we have some some prettier company than just us."
"Don't bother, they went up to the cottage for the weekend to take a break from the long week at school."
"Damn that's too bad, sure would have liked to get my eyes on Brace again."
Hanging up, before Erik could say anything further Lex finished out the day at the shop. Heading home to grab a shower and a quick bite to eat before meeting up with the guys at Sassy's.
Sassy's was busy as usual with the town crowd, when Lex walked in he waved a Hi to the guys across the room, heading to bar to grab a drink.
"Hi sweetie, what can I get you tonight?" the bartender asked.
"Hi Janice, I'll take a Stella."
"Sure thing sweetie!"
He took the beer when she handed it to him over the bar and headed over to the guys. There was an intense game of pool going on and much cheering and booing from those looking on. When he joined the group the discussion was about the upcoming rally and who would be attending but as it always does it quickly turned to women, and in this instance Brace in particular.
Since Jake and Lex were best friends of course they assumed that Lex had info on Brace, so he was subjected to questions in regards to what she was studying, was she coming to the rally, and of course the one that they all wanted answered, was she available.
"If I had known she had a body like that under those clothes a couple years ago, well let just say I would have taken more time to "get to know her", Erik said with a suggestive wink.
"Have you seen the tight little numbers she has worn out lately, doesn't leave much to the imagination." Mike agreed
Lex clenched and un-clenched his jaw hearing them talk about Brace like she was just any other girl that they passed the time with. His mood quickly soured and he found he wasn't really up to hanging out tonight. He finished his beer, and said he had someplace he had to be, so headed out.
He drove around the town arguing with himself that nothing had changed, she was still innocent Brace, except those kisses, her response to him this morning said she was anything but. Irregardless of that though the other arguments were still there, she was still Jake's kid sister and he still would not risk her becoming part of his world more than she already was.
That was why at 2 am he was pulling open the window, off the porch to the room that Brace always had when staying at the cottage, climbing in and hoping that she still had the same room and was not sharing with Topaz. Because it seemed no matter how strong the argument he made he couldn't stay away from her.
