Her Way by Jessica Jarman

rewarded when her breath hitched a bit.
    “No, no, that’s okay. You certainly didn’t come here to babysit…”
    “I came here to see you and I will…after the party. And besides, spending time with two of the prettiest girls here, heck, all the guys will be jealous.” He winked at her.
    “But—”
    “No buts. Go.”
    She bit her lower lip and stared at him for a long moment. “If you’re sure. It won’t be much longer, I promise.”
    “No worries. I have to catch up on my coloring.”
    She planted both hands on his cheeks and pulled him down to press her lips hard against his. Heat and desire flared and his erection grew. He nipped at her lips before pulling back. “Later, Miss Emma, later.”
    “Promises, promises.” She patted his cheek and turned to the kids. “Hey, I have to do some things so Will’s going to color with you, okay?”
    “Yay!” the girls squealed.
    Emma smiled and walked from the room. Will sat between the kids and grabbed a crayon.
    “Okay, what are we coloring today?”
    “Princesses,” Mia informed.
    “Rock on.”

    Emma flopped on the sofa next to Will. The last guest was gone and all that remained were Will, Matt and her three friends. She reached down and slipped her shoes off to massage the arches of her feet. Man, she was tired.
    “Here.” Will grabbed her legs and turned her so she leaned against the arm of the sofa and her feet rested in his lap. He used his thumbs to press and massage her sore feet.
    “Hmmm,” she moaned and struggled not to close her eyes.
    “Well, the party was a success,” Ana quipped. She sat on the loveseat next to Lynn. Hannah sat on the armchair and Matt was on the floor, leaning against the loveseat, his legs stretched in front of him.
    “Thanks to you guys. I appreciate it.” She smiled.
    “No problem,” Hannah answered. “Now for the cleanup…”
    “Urgh, I don’t want to think of that.” Emma laughed. “And you certainly don’t have to stay. I’ll take care of it; you all have done enough.”
    She wet her lips and looked at Will. He stared at her, his hands continuing to massage. She just wanted to be alone with him.
    “Don’t be stupid. Of course we’ll clean up,” Matt insisted. “Shouldn’t take too long.”
    “Exactly. Which is why you don’t have to stay.” Her gaze still on Will, she flushed when he winked at her and ran his hand up her calf and back down to circle her ankle.
    “I think Emma would like us to leave.” Hannah’s voice shook with laughter and Emma looked at her.
    “I didn’t say that!” Not out loud at least , she thought a bit guiltily.
    “You didn’t have to.” Ana stood and stretched her arms over her head. “We totally understand.”
    “We do?” Matt looked around, bafflement on his face.
    “Yes, we do.” Lynn nudged his shoulder with her knee as she stood as well. “Emma would like to have some alone time.”
    He narrowed his eyes as he studied Emma, then Will. “Oh for God’s sake. Fine. Why didn’t you just say so?”
    “No, really, you guys don’t have to leave.” She tried to sound genuine and feared she failed miserably when everyone laughed.
    Ana came over and bent down to give Emma a quick hug. “Don’t get up. We can show ourselves out.” She then whispered, “Enjoy Mr. Tall, Dark and Hung.”
    The rest of her friends hugged her and left quickly. Matt mussed her hair and stared down at her briefly before striding out of the room, calling “later” over his shoulder.
    Will and Emma sat in silence for a few minutes. He ran his fingers up and down her legs, kneading gently. Each time, he moved farther up, pushing her skirt up past her knees. Twitch, twitch. Emma squirmed a bit and glanced at Will.
    “Well, it’s just us now,” she said.
    “Yes, it is.”
    He reached out, grabbed her arms and pulled until she ended on his lap. His erection pressed hotly against her ass, and she bit her lip.
    “And that’s a good thing, right?” She put her arms
