Chapter 16 #2
“I’m,” she gasped, gliding over me with just the right amount of friction, “yours.” She gasped again when I pinched her nipple, and I let out a satisfied sound. “But should we really be doing this here? Now?”
I followed the direction of her gaze. To the door and my family beyond. I kissed her again. I didn’t fucking care.
“We’re playing with fire,” she said.
“And you fucking love it.” I unzipped her dress, pushing it aside to reveal her to me. “Tell me you don’t. Tell me you want me to stop.”
She shook her head. “Don’t you dare stop, Jasper.”
I stood, carrying her over to the couch, and she squealed.
I chuckled and lowered her to the sofa, bracing myself over her.
The turbulence had long since passed, but there was no way we were leaving this room.
Not until the wheels were back on the ground.
Halle was mine, and I was going to take advantage of every moment we had together.
She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I couldn’t help but watch her. Revel in her. “Fuck, Halle.”
“Yes,” she whispered. “Yes.” Her smile was dazed, her cheeks flushed with color, eyes wild. “We should do that.” Fuck.
“I, I—” I lost the ability to communicate. Words. What were words? What need was there for language when she made me feel like this?
“Fucking stunning,” I said, taking her in.
She wrapped her legs around my waist, pulling me down to her so her breasts brushed against my chest. My cock was hard and aching, and I needed to be inside her. But that would have to wait—for now. I wanted all my attention to be on Halle—her desires, her needs, her everything.
“Oh god.” She moaned. “This is even better than my dream.”
“Dream?”
Was that what this was? A dream? Because after all this time apart, I couldn’t believe she was in my arms once again.
Her cheeks turned an even deeper shade of pink. She sucked in a jagged breath, though I wasn’t sure if it was from my words or our position.
I ran my nose along the shell of her ear, dipping my finger into her bra. “What happened in this dream of yours, love?”
She turned away as if trying to hide from me. From the truth. I wasn’t sure.
“Halle?”
“I dreamed that I was on the auction block last night. And you…”
I arched my brow, intrigued. This I had to hear. “And I…?”
She shivered. “You claimed me in front of everyone.”
“Claimed you how?” I asked, my voice dropping an octave. I had a sudden image of rutting into her like an animal. That was how she made me feel—savage and primal.
“You…” She gasped when I shifted, rubbing her pussy against my cock at a new angle. Harder.
I definitely wanted to hear more about this dream, but fuck me. Fuck, that felt good.
I rolled my hips, unable to stop myself. My body was acting on autopilot, and it had taken over the controls.
She reached for me, palming me. I placed my hand over hers then gently removed it.
I shook my head. Though it wouldn’t take me long to get off, I wanted this to be about her.
Falling into bed wasn’t the way to prove myself to Halle.
This was about her and putting her needs first—not just in the bedroom, but everywhere. And I would show her that.
“You said I claimed you. Claimed you how?” I traced a circle around her nipple, and I hoped she didn’t realize I was shaking. I was so excited and nervous that my hands had a tremor. I focused on the way her nipple puckered in response to my ministrations. “Tell me, or I won’t let you come.”
She narrowed her eyes at me. “You wouldn’t.”
“Don’t try me, Halle,” I warned. “You’ve made me wait a long time.”
I peered down at her, my body on fire for this woman. I pressed down on my cock, drinking in the sight of her. Skirt rucked up on her thighs. Breasts exposed. Hair a wild flame.
“Y-You climbed onto the stage.”
“And…” I prompted.
She swallowed. “You told everyone I was yours.”
I moved so I was kneeling between her legs. Damn right. “Because you are.”
She smiled, her cheeks flaming with color, and she gave a short, quick nod.
“Then what?” I asked.
She shook her head, her eyes skimming down my chest. “We were in your office. You were dressed about like you are right now.”
“That’s it,” I purred in her ear before kissing my way down her chest. She thrust her breasts forward, and I eagerly peeled her bra aside so I could suck one nipple into my mouth, then the other. “I love hearing about your fantasies. Tell me more.”
“You…” She panted, body thrashing. “You made me come.”
“How?” I asked, mapping her body with my hands, recommitting every freckle, every birthmark, to memory.
“With your fingers.”
I coasted my hand up her thigh until I reached her underwear. I dragged a finger over her slit. She’d soaked through the material. “God. You are so fucking wet.”
She shuddered, closing her eyes as I peeled her underwear aside to play with her clit. “Yes. Yes.” She let out a shaky breath. “Right there. Just like that.”
I loved that she was telling me exactly what she wanted. I loved that she’d been dreaming of me. I loved sharing in her fantasy and helping act it out. Watching her like this was hot, especially when she arched her back, clenching her fists.
She was so damn close. She just needed something to push her over the edge. Before I could say anything, the captain came over the intercom system, startling us.
Halle’s eyes went wide, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. If anything, it only made me more determined to make her come.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “This is your captain speaking. Flight attendants, please prepare for landing.”
“Come on, Halle,” I taunted, taking the captain’s announcement for the challenge it was. “Think I can get you off before we land?”
“You. Better,” she gritted out.
I chuckled, taking in the state of her. She wasn’t worried about my family, our jobs, or the future; she was firmly rooted in the present. And I fully intended to reward her for it.
“Don’t worry.” I brushed my lips over her nipple, gratified by her reaction. “I will.”
I sped up my tempo, increasing the pressure of my thumb on her clit as I inserted another finger. We were running out of time. We needed to get cleaned up before we landed. But first, I needed to make her come.
I watched Halle’s body for cues, picking up the pace and seeing how she responded. She was so tight. So wet. And I knew she was close.
“Oh my god. Oh my god,” she chanted, hair splayed over the arm of the couch, legs parted.
“That’s it, Halle.” God, I was so hard. I felt as if I might explode from touching her alone. “Come for me, love.”
And then she was clenching around me, panting as her release crashed over her. I pressed my mouth to hers, swallowing her pleasure. So beautiful.
The buzzer rang, indicating that someone was at the door, and Halle’s eyes popped open. I reached over her and pressed the button on the intercom. “Yes?”
“Mr. Mackenzie,” Tabitha said, but my attention was on Halle. She was a fucking sight to behold. Happy. Sated. Mine.
“We’ll be landing soon,” Tabitha continued as I pressed a chaste kiss to Halle’s forehead. “Please ensure that you and any other passengers in your cabin are buckled in and your personal items are secured.”
“Will do,” I said, releasing the button to talk. As soon as I had, Halle and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.
I was relieved. Giddy. Ecstatic. We were really going to do this.
“I should get cleaned up.” She smoothed my hair away from my face before kissing me. “Thank you.”
“My pleasure,” I said, giving her another quick peck before standing so that she could do the same.
I smoothed down my tie, righting my shirt, while she adjusted her dress.
When she turned to head for the attached bathroom, I gave her ass a playful smack.
She glanced at me over her shoulder, biting back a smile.
We might be coming back down to earth, but now that Halle had agreed to give our relationship a shot, I had a feeling I’d be floating in the clouds for a long time.
