Chapter 24 #2
I stepped toward Jules while she stepped back, almost as if the woman was tugging on an invisible rope to pull me into her grasp.
I was a willing participant, that was for certain.
Eventually she was at my bed and sank onto it, and I stood to take her in, spread out before me.
She was a vision. Her hair had tumbled out of the pile on top of her head and fanned out all over the pillow.
She watched me with a heated expression that promised more.
I moved to kneel at the floor and tug her to the edge, but she spoke up. “Uh-uh, buster.”
I looked at her with confusion. “Babe, I need you to come. Let me get you there.”
“And I need the same,” she said. “And right now I need to do that with you, not me by myself.” She rolled over and knelt at the headboard, holding on to it while she turned to look at me over her shoulder. “Come on, sexy. Get your ass over here.”
I grabbed a condom from my side table and slid it on before I crawled up the bed.
She’d placed some pillows below her knees to even our heights out while I got in position.
I came up behind her, her back to my chest while she tilted her head to the side and turned to capture my lips.
I lost myself in her kisses while she ground her ass back in contact with my dick.
Jesus. This woman was my fantasies personified.
“Slow down.” I placed a hand on her hip. “This could be over all too soon.”
Jules arched a brow at me over her shoulder to tell me that I needed to get with the program.
I slid my hand over her lower belly to what she’d hilariously called her happy place, then moved past her clit and checked to see how ready she was for me.
A finger into her canal and she began arching into my palm, which pretty much told me everything I needed to know.
“Ready?” I asked, straightening up and notching my cock at her entrance.
Her reply was to push back into me. Holy fuck. I guess that was her way of telling me she was.
The angle when kneeling against the headboard was new, but it gave both of us the opportunity for hands to roam.
And Jules floored me when she knocked mine off their path to her happy place and started touching herself in what was clearly a familiar rhythm that brought her to the brink in moments if the flutter of her canal against me was anything to go by.
I quickly began kissing her neck right at the nape and ran a hand up to tweak one of her nipples. That did it.
Jules arched back, a long, low moan coming out as she kept her hand moving through her orgasm.
I fought coming as well, wanting to give her the chance to ride out her pleasure to the end.
I knew we were there when she placed her hands to the headboard to brace herself and angled her torso forward.
She looked at me over her shoulder before taking a breath and sending me a wink.
“Your turn,” she said breathlessly.
I slid my hands to her hips and pistoned in and out, chasing my climax until it was right there. With a final thrust, my entire body was flooded with endorphins, and I draped my chest over her back, dropping my forehead to her shoulder to catch my breath.
We remained in that position for several breaths until Jules broke the silence.
“Noah?” she whispered.
“Jules.”
“I don’t think the first time was a fluke,” she said.
I wrapped my arms around her torso and laughed, sliding us down the bed to lay on our slides. I was rapidly softening, so I knew I couldn’t stay like this for long. But for the moment? Yes please.
“I think you’re right, kitten. Our chemistry is unlike anyone I’ve been with.”
“So…” She hesitated but then made the decision to say it. “What are we going to do about it?”
I kissed the top of her shoulder. “I think we keep doing what we’re doing and see what this is like when not dealing with major life events.”
She nodded. “So keep connecting…”
I moved my hips forward. “I definitely like connecting with you.”
She reached back to slap my torso, such that she could. “That way, sure, but also…”
I kissed her temple this time. “Yes, also outside the bedroom. For example, like at my daughter’s birthday party tomorrow. You still in?”
“Yes?” Frankly, she didn’t sound completely convinced, but I’d take it.
I slid out, took care of the condom, and came right back, but this time lying face-to-face. “How can I reassure you?”
“I don’t think you can.” She met my gaze. “I’m a little scared of Jake’s mom.”
I laughed. “I mean, she’s harmless in that there isn’t a mean bone in her body, just a big personality.” I thought for a minute. “She’ll love you.”
She nodded. “Can I make something to bring?”
I thought of all the brunches I’d been to at Ivy’s place. “Well, the amount of food that will already be there is ridiculous, but you’re welcome to if you want.”
She nestled into my space, resting her head on my arm. “Thanks.”
I lifted my head in surprise, but she was already growing heavy in sleep and not looking at me. “For what, kitten?”
“For accepting me as I am and constantly reassuring me.” Her sleepy voice grabbed my heart and squeezed.
“Always,” I whispered, kissing her head and following her into dreamland.
