Chapter 21 #2
I peek up to his dark eyes. “In due time? I’m not sure I can wait that long.”
One side of his thick lips tip up on one side. “Looks like you don’t have a choice.”
I look back down at his cock. The tip is redder than it was before with him guiding me.
It reminds me of the crimson of my dress last night.
Up and down and up and down. A drop of cum glistens on his engorged tip.
He takes his other hand and swipes it off the tip with his thumb before bringing that hand to my face.
My gaze darts to his. I can’t imagine how big my eyes widen when he cups my chin and spreads the cum over my lips before pressing in with his thumb.
Jett has barely touched me, but my entire body is so wired, I might come by this alone. My ache has turned into a throb in the best way. His thumb presses farther into my mouth and I do what feels right.
I wrap my lips around his thumb and suck.
His hand over mine that’s still pumping him constricts.
It’s official. I love this. I think I love everything with Jett Cross. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve loved anything. Not in the last six years.
“Yeah, I’m going to lose it if we keep this up, and there’s no way I’m coming before you.” His fingers cupping my chin give me a squeeze, and he pulls his thumb from my mouth with a pop. I lick my lips so I don’t miss any of the salty tang of him. I barely got a taste. I want more.
No.
I want it all.
Jett puts a hand to my shoulder and pushes me to my back. I fall to the pillow, and he comes over me, framing my head with his hands. He kicks his boxers off and lowers his bare body to mine.
I gasp when the underside of his bare cock comes into contact with my sex, and more importantly, my clit. When he presses into me, his cock slides up and down on my clit through my wetness, my eyes fall shut. I force myself to breathe so I don’t come too fast. I don’t want this to end.
“Baby, you’re an undiscovered land. I can’t wait to taste every inch of you, teach you everything that your body can do, and eventually make you all fucking mine.”
I arch my back and try to lift my hips. He’s so big. It’s hard to imagine my body forming to his.
And I don’t want to imagine anything.
I open my eyes and say through labored breaths. “Not eventually, Jett.”
He shakes his head and starts to speak, but the need to convince him is strong.
“Please.” When that word falls from my lips, he stops moving and gives me more weight. “I don’t want this eventually. I want this. I want you.”
His gaze rakes over every feature of my face in a way I feel it. “You’ve been through too much. You need time.”
I force myself to catch my breath and pull my knees up his sides to open farther for him. I dig my heels into the globes of his rock-hard ass and do everything I can to keep him right where he is. The only other place I want him is inside me. “I don’t need time. I need you.”
He shakes his head, but it’s my turn to cover his lips with my finger.
“Don’t do that. You don’t know what’s best for me. I finally have control over my life, and that means my body too. Unless you don’t want me—”
His tone turns almost harsh. “I just told you I did, and I fucking meant it. I’m determined that no one else will be here other than me until you tell me otherwise. It’s been a long time since I’ve been with a woman. The fact that I’m right here, and you think I might not want to be pisses me off.”
That shouldn’t make me happy, but I am. A slow smile pulls at my lips. “Then give me what I want.”
He pulls in a sharp breath. “Lennon—”
I’m quick to interrupt. “You not giving me what I want is you controlling me. I’ve had enough men thinking they can control me.”
That shuts him up. He frames my face with his hand before claiming my mouth with a kiss so intense, I’m not sure how to take it. He’ll either slide inside me and take my virginity, or he’ll shut me down for good.
If it’s the latter, I’m not sure what I’ll do. I don’t think my psyche can handle another blow like that after what happened last night.
His tongue spears my mouth the same way I want his cock. His fingers bite into my skin with a possessiveness that touches me somewhere deep that I haven’t connected with in so long. His other hand drops to my hip and goes south until his fingertips find my sex.
He spears me with two fingers while he goes back to rubbing my clit with his cock.
I’m the one to break our kiss this time and gasp. “Please. Don’t stop.”
He adds a third finger, thrusting inside me and stretching me. I know what he’s trying to do, but it’s not what I want. And since I’ve had his cock in my hand, I know what I want.
He has me pinned to the bed, otherwise I’d move against him.
“I’m close,” I say as our breaths mingle as one. “Don’t stop.”
He presses his lips to the corner of my mouth. “I won’t stop. And I will never control you.”
It’s like those words alone are what I needed. My body and my heart sing at the sound of those words.
I will never control you.
His movements become faster as he pumps me with his fingers until he pushes me over the edge.
All I hear are our breaths and my beating heart when stars fill my vision.
I tip my head back as my orgasm washes over me.
I come and come and come. It’s a beautiful thing because it’s only Jett and me.
The rest of the world has dissolved into thin air.
When I finally come down from my high, I lose his body heat. A drawer opens and shuts as I’m trying to catch my breath. I turn my head to the side and see him standing next to the bed rolling a condom down his cock. He climbs back over me and stares into my eyes. “You’re sure?”
“Stop asking me that. I’m so ready—ready to take my life back. Do you know what’s weird?”
“Weird at this moment? I’m afraid to ask.”
I slide closer to him. “It’s weird that when I’m with you, especially when we’re like this, I’m not sad that I lost six years. Without that, I wouldn’t be here with you. And make no mistake. I want this to be you more than anything.”
He crawls over me again and hitches one of my knees in the crook of his elbow and looks into my eyes. “Haven’t even had you yet, but I want you so bad, the desire to take you bare rages within me.”
I feel his tip flirt with my sex, and all thoughts of bare and birth control and consequences fly out of my brain. All I can think about is him.
Finally.
“Thank you,” I whisper.
He brushes my cheek with his thumb. “Baby.”
“Thank you for giving me my control back.”
He leans down to press his lips to mine, and that’s when it happens.
Jett doesn’t go slow or ease into me.
He takes me in one firm thrust.
I gasp.
Jett squeezes his eyes shut. He looks like he’s in pain. The only move he makes is to press into me farther, but he doesn’t pull out. His breaths are tight as he gives me time to adjust.
I need it.
My body molds to every inch of his. I dig my fingers into his thick, dark hair and hang on. I don’t know what I expected, but nothing hurts. In fact, everything feels so good.
He pulls out halfway before pushing back in. He does this over and over, slowly at first. The sensation is new and beautiful. When I hike my legs farther up his sides for more of him, I feel and hear his groan everywhere, inside and out.
He looks into my eyes and starts to really move. I wrap a leg around his waist to hold on. Our bare bodies are covered in a sheen of sweat, and now I know what sex smells like.
Jett and me...
Us.
I’m overcome. I’ve never been a part of an us. For as long as I can remember, it’s been me against the world.
He slams into me two more times until his entire body tenses. He holds me tight and buries his face into the side of my head. One more squeeze, and he rolls to the side without pulling out and takes me with him.
His hand strokes me from my hair, down my spine, all the way to my ass, and back again. It’s so relaxing, I might go back to sleep since I’m apparently taking my first day off in years.
I press my lips to his neck. “Are you okay?”
He leans back far enough to frown at me. “I just took your virginity, and you’re asking me if I’m okay? I was going to ask you but I’m enjoying the post-sex haze. The last thing I want to do is pull out.”
I trace the dip of his neck with the tip of my finger. “You’re the one with the new kidney. I doubt you’re cleared for sex.”
“My kidney was the last thing on my mind. I haven’t felt this good in years.
Hell, I feel better than I did before I knew about the PKD.
” He leans in to press his lips to my forehead before pulling me to his chest again.
This time his hand lands directly on my ass and stays there. “I need to know if you’re okay.”
I sink onto him farther. “I’m more than okay. I don’t remember when I was this happy.”
He’s about to say something, but his cell on the nightstand vibrates with a phone call. He hesitates before he pulls out, slowly and methodically and like it pains him to leave me.
“Hold that thought, baby.” He tosses the covers over us and rolls to get his cell. When he sees who the caller is, he flops to his back and drags a hand down his face. “Shit. I’ve got to answer this.”
I’m about to get up and go to the bathroom to give him some privacy, but he puts a hand to my ass to keep me where I am as he answers the phone on speaker. “Hello, Patrick.”
Oh wow. His father.
“Jett.” That was his only greeting before an awkward pause. “How are you?”
Jett squeezes my ass and smirks. “I’m great. Feeling the best I have in years.”
He exhales. “That’s great news. I’m relieved to hear that. Unfortunately, I have some news that isn’t so good.”
Jett loses the smirk. “What is it?”
Jett’s father switches from semi-paternal to all business. “We have an issue with the board.”
“You do?” Jett asks.
“This isn’t just a me issue. It’s an us issue.
And by us, I mean Harlow, you, and me. There are some on the board who don’t like the recent additions of you and Harlow.
In fact, they’re downright pissed. I own a majority of the shares—fifty seven percent to be exact.
When I took Stonebridge public, it was written into the bylaws that I can appoint members at my discretion up to the percentage of stock that I retain.
A few of the board members have turned on me when they found out my so-called health problems were hidden from shareholders.
And they really don’t like that the newest member is my son. ”
Holy shit.
Jett is on the board of directors for Stonebridge Capitol? I just had sex with him, gave him my virginity, and he never told me that?
Jett rolls to his back, squeezes his eyes shut, and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Look, I didn’t ask to be on the board. I’m more than happy to step aside and let—”
“No,” Patrick bites. “We’re moving forward. I need you and Harlow. When the attorneys delivered the new arrangements to the board, there were rumblings.”
Jett pulls in a deep breath. “Great. Moving forward.”
“The opposing board members have called an emergency meeting. I’ve done everything I can do to put it off, but they’re pressing their hand. That meeting is happening tomorrow morning.”
Jett’s gaze jumps to me, and his expression turns to stone. “There is no way I can be in New York tomorrow, Patrick. That’s a hard no for me.”
“Don’t worry. I put my foot down and told them that both my children have had major surgery recently.
If they insist on pulling this shit, they’ll have to do it on my terms. The board will come to Winslet.
I spoke to Harlow right before I called you.
She’s less happy than you sound. I’m sorry, but this is a necessary evil when you’re a Madison. ”
Jett drags a hand down his face. “You forget, I’m not a Madison.”
“Your trust fund disagrees with that,” Patrick counters.
My eyes widen. Trust fund?
Jett rolls his eyes.
Patrick continues to spew demands. “Chrissie will get with you in the next hour. You’ll be provided a packet to familiarize yourself with in order to prepare.
Chrissie and I took off thirty minutes ago.
We should be there in about four hours. We will prep you both for the meeting.
I’m not worried. I know what you did while you were in the Army. This is nothing in comparison.”
“Great,” Jett drawls sarcastically.
Patrick must not speak sarcasm. “Yes, it will be great. Read the packet, and we’ll talk tonight. See you soon.”
And with that, his father hangs up.
Jett tosses the cell to the bottom of the messy bed where we just had sex for the first time. Where I had sex for the first time.
I gather the covers at my breasts and sit up. “I assume these are the things you were going to tell me later?”
He leans in and presses his lips to mine. “You don’t know the half of it. I have four hours to explain, and I will. But I’m fucking pissed our day is ruined. I planned to keep you right here. Are you okay?”
A smile pulls at my lips. “I’m more than okay. Despite my father and Andrei and everything else your father is talking about, I can’t remember the last time I was this good.”
He leans into me and cups the side of my face in his hand. “Let’s channel that energy. I have a feeling shit’s going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.”
Jett’s cell vibrates again. “See what I mean? It’s Harlow.”
He reaches for the cell to answer it but doesn’t get the chance to greet her.
Harlow Madison sounds like a different woman than the one who gave me enough dresses and accessories to last me the next decade. She’s irate, frazzled, and just on this side of hysterical. “Oh my God, Jett. The board is coming here! What the fuck?!”
