All Chapters of Kiss Me Like You Never Left: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"A towel too," Yon yelled, laughing at the puddle on the ground."Shut up," Jude replied.Klaus handed Jude the towel and shirt, and Jude knelt down to sweep the floor before returning the towel to him. Jude pushed his soaked shirt away, and he heard a sputter, followed by a cough. He turned to the sound, noticing David patting the back of Malachi as he coughed, holding up one hand. David guffawed, glancing back at Jude before ducking in close to Malachi and saying something that caused Malachi to push him away. Jude bit his lips together, trying not to smile. Jude watched Malachi again as he had a laugh with David. Malachi shook his head brusquely and turned to Jude, flustered. This time Jude could not help but keep a straight face. A smile creased his face before he faced away. Jude made a throat-clearing sound and tried to school his expression again. Klaus stared at him in puzzlement but Jude remained silent.Phoenix beckoned them, and they went back to the court. Jude stood by th

He let out a gentle snort of laughter. "Don't be that way. I love that you want me so badly. It drives me wild when you don't let go," Malachi panted against Jude's cheek. "I never thought I could want anyone this much as I want you. I didn't think it was possible to ever feel this way. You have no idea how much I like that you like the way I look so much.""It's not the way you look.""I know that, Jud, but you're still a fool for my smile." His mouth curled up into that same crooked grin, and he kissed Jude's cheek. He wasn't wrong about that.Jude stroked his hands over the back of his own body, enjoying the sensation of heat spreading back up to his fingertips. Jude aligned his hips with Jude's, their bodies coming together in a smooth union."Let's go to your bed," Jude whispered, his voice barely audible against his ear."You don't want to play around on the couch?" he teased."I don't want to play around."He stiffened. Malachi's eyes collided with Jude's, looking for confirmat

"I know, I'm out of time. And anyway, I don't want to see the aftermath of the fashion show," Holly said and laughed when Malachi threw something at her. "Bye, boys. Don't get too hung up on all the sex." She grabbed a couple of bags and blew a kiss in their direction before she walked away.Jude looked at Malachi."She's my best friend. Of course, I told her we had sex," he said nonchalantly.Holly laughed before the doors to the elevator closed."Malachi," Jude scolded."I didn't imply it was your first time, only ours. She actually thought it had happened years ago. It isn't a big thing," Malachi said defensively.Jude reasoned that did make it slightly better."So you're going to wear them?" He wagged his eyebrows at Jude and chewed on his lip."You're lucky you're cute," Jude grumbled, standing up from the couch."Aw, this is the first time you've ever said anything remotely like that to me."Jude cocked an eyebrow and he snorted back. Jude walked towards the bedroom."Where are

"Sorry," he called after her, as David laughed. "That is terrible. How do you ever do that politely?" he asked David, scratching the back of his neck."Not like that," said David, chuckling."Shit, this is so fucking awkward," complained Malachi, glancing around the room."Are you going to leave?" asked David.Malachi’s eyes were still scanning the crowd. “Not right now. Maybe it’ll get better.”The music was so loud, it was hard to listen…not that Jude was trying to. A girl pushed into Jude, and Jude apologized, the words barely audible over the pounding bass. David glanced back and noticed Jude, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise."I'll be destroyed at home worrying about them. At least here, I know it hasn't occurred yet," Malachi yelled back."Hi, Jude," David yelled.A flush crept up Jude's neck."Yeah, creepy. I know I'm being a creep," Malachi grumbled, still heading in the opposite direction, his shoulders slumping just a little.David glanced at Malachi and then back at Jud

They sat in silence as a game of basketball played in the background. Sunlight poured in through the blinds and sliced sharply across their rumpled appearance. Jude massaged Jude's temples, and the dull throb of a hangover fell behind Jude's eyes."I think we should order in," Yon broke the silence."I abhor food," Klaus exhaled, folded over on the couch like a rag doll."You abhor tequila," Jude corrected.He looked utterly defeated. "I hate tequila and food," he proclaimed."I'm getting something," Yon persisted."What happened to his mood?" Klaus asked, rubbing his temples and wincing at the light."He got laid," Jude retorted.Klaus could muster a weak laugh. "Oh god, I think I kissed one of the girls from the bar. I'm not even fucking sure," Klaus confessed, looking ill about it."You did. It was graphic," Yon told him. "I'm having a chaser beer. Who wants one? Jud?" he asked Jude, pulling out a few from the mini fridge beside him."I'm okay, thanks." Jude's mind strayed. Jude st
