Chapter Nine My Alter Ego
Romeo
Staring into my eyes, Julianna smiled. “I will never forget this night, Romeo. How could I?” Reaching over, she brushed my hair back from my forehead. “That was totally unforgettable.”
“It is just the beginning,” I promised her. I meant it too. I planned to sex her like she had never been sexed before. I planned to spoil her. Shower her with flowers and surprises. Make her mine in every way I could think of and maybe in some ways I hadn't thought of yet.
“I really never thought I would fall for a lawyer,” she commented with a chuckle.
I paused to wonder if she realized she just admitted that she had fallen for me? Hearing this, I felt so damned excited, but I sure as hell didn’t want to spook her. I hid my elation as I nodded at her. “Neither did I. But you can’t say we don’t have anything in common.”
“No, I can’t. We have already discussed case law and we both know contractual law so well.”
I scoffed. “Nah, I didn’t mean any of that. I meant how you loved my little motorboat humming when I eat.”
She giggled. “Yes and that’s a remarkable talent you have going for you, Romeo.”
I smirked at her. “I admired your little moans too. In fact, I couldn't stop from getting hard when you did it.”
Looking startled for a few seconds, she then burst into laughter.
I shook my head and admitted, “I’m serious.” I smiled at her as I dove into a humorous rant, “Like what the hell? I’m sitting there with the entire family and the Walkers at dinner while sporting a massive hardon under the table? All while you were humming so lovingly and sensuously over that damn mousse.”
She was all out laughing now.
“My dad and brother kept chuckling at me,” I informed her. “They knew what was happening, the asswipes.”
She let out a cute little snort. “I’m sorry, Romeo. I didn’t realize—”
“No, you didn’t,” I cut her off. “You didn’t know how you were affecting me. So for the next meal, keep it down, ok? I mean it could seriously hurt me to have blue balls all the way through one of Zia’s six-course meals.”
Howling with laughter now, Julianna fell down on her side.
I slowly shook my head and went on, “Well, I’m glad you find it amusing.” I shrugged. “Never happened to me before, ya know? I never once got so hot for a woman in public that I couldn’t control my alter ego , so to speak. Except for when I was like sixteen, maybe?” I paused as I remembered the event. “Ok, I admit that it did happen once before. But in defense of that, it had been an entire team of cheerleaders, wearing teeny tiny skirts and they kept bending over. Repeatedly, I might add. All while I sat right behind them. Like up close and personal to sweet sixteen butts! I suffered with the most painful erection that lasted for an entire fucking basketball game.”
With her laughter out of control, Julianna now rolled around on the mattress. “S-stooop! My side hurts…”
“Yeah, so now you know how it feels, don't ya?” I finally laughed with her as I grabbed her up and wrapped my arms around her.
Laughter rippled through her body then she finally settled down and let out a huge breath.
We laid there together close and warm, skin to skin as we just enjoyed the companionable silence for a bit.
“Basically though,” I finally broke the quiet. “You admire my skills and I worship your body. So we are perfect for each other. I also think I’m addicted to the flavor of you.”
“And I think I’m addicted to your scent,” she confessed.
I didn’t know about this as I cocked my head at her and asked, “Is that so?”
Nodding, she admitted, “I would sneak a whiff of you whenever you weren’t looking.”
I grinned. “My cousin Francie gifted me that cologne last Christmas.”
Julianna smiled. “I think it’s not as much the cologne as it is your scent mixed with it.” She scooted closer and kissed me softly then whispered to my lips, “I’m so glad you told me how you felt at dinner. I really think you were right. We could be a forever deal.” She sighed happily and laid her head on my chest.
Feeling more supreme and more of a winner than with any case I had ever won, I held her in my arms as she fell asleep. It was early eve but it had been a helluva long day for us both. I figured we could sleep for a while and then I intended to have her all over again. Damn, I almost lost my mind while making love to her earlier tonight. I’d barely held myself in control. I’d never had to fight myself to slow down and be more gentle with a woman. I never had to hold myself back before either. Julianna spurred my inner beast on. I let out a breath of relief over the fact that I had managed to keep it to some semblance of sane. It surprised me when I realized she’d almost driven me to the edge.
As I laid there in her bed, I wondered what our next move should be. Personally. Should I take her on dates and keep it gradual? Or should I just announce it to my family and then just move her into my room? Smiling to myself, I liked that one. I would still take her out, shower her with flowers, surprises and fun dates. Otherwise, I wanted to keep her close. A person may only get one chance at real love. Yes, I felt like this was real.
I didn’t care what anyone thought about it either. It wasn’t to be an affair or just an office romance. I intended to go all the way with this woman. At least, Dante and my father seemed supportive of it. Hell, Zia predicted it and her support meant the most in my life. My other brothers could lump it. With the exception of Gio or Legend as he called himself now…his opinion mattered.
Was it crazy that I would easily marry this woman tomorrow if she wanted? I would quit working for my father’s company if she wanted that. Yes, maybe but I learned something recently. I’ve had money and success in my life. But I never had love…not like this. Nothing mattered but being with Julianna. It sounded insane but after I tasted her and had her? I never wanted to let her go.
I snoozed for a long while. I didn’t know how long, then I finally opened my eyes to see it was actually morning. Wow, did I sleep for that long? I felt her warmth right up on top of me, her head on my chest.
I know I should let her sleep some more, but I did want to taste her on my tongue again. Selfish much, Romeo? Lowering myself down along her body, I gently spread her legs and moaned quietly as I licked a path up her slit.
“Romeo…” She whispered sleepily as she automatically spread her legs wider.
“That’s my girl,” I whispered to her silky folds then continued to deliver slow, long, licks. With a craving like I’d never remembered feeling spurring me on, I tasted her cream on my tongue and circled her clit to finally delve inside.
“Oohhhh…” Her hips came up as she buried her fingers in my hair and closed her thighs around my head.
I dove in, plunging into her tightness with my stiff tongue, enjoying her sweet juices. I swear she had the sweetest center I’d ever tasted. I devoured her until she was tugging at my hair and pushing herself up against my face. Finally, she came and I enjoyed the flavor of her fully.
With a huge sigh of satisfaction, her legs fell open.
Taking total advantage, I smoothly slid my body up, eased inside her and experienced her tightness the way nature intended. “I love having you like this.”
Julianna couldn’t seem to speak as her lips were open and her eyes were dark with desire.
When I drove home, she arched her body in response.
All I could do was look into her eyes. This wonderful thing between us felt deeply personal and connected. Unlike any feeling I’d had before with anyone. Using both hands, I twined her fingers with mine and delivered slow deep thrusts. She squeezed my hands while raising her hips, giving as good as she got. The erotic sound of skin on skin slapping together in the quiet room revved me up. She flexed her muscles around my hardness and I growled under my breath. This woman somehow unleashed a part of me I’d kept hidden for years.
She moaned loudly as passion took over.
“That’s it sweet Julianna,” I encouraged her. “Tell me what you need.”
“Deeper!”
I obeyed her command.
“Romeo….” Her body tensed and her muscles quivered.
“I love hearing my name on your lips.” I knew she was close. “That’s it, let go for me, Julianna.”
“Oh, cavolo,” she mouthed breathlessly.
I smirked. I also loved to hear Italian on her lips as it was sexy as fuck. I thrust once, twice and she came hard. I allowed her to pull me over with her, continuing to pump as I filled her to the brim. Spent, I collapsed on top of her, careful to keep the brunt of my weight on my forearms. I nuzzled her neck. I planned to let her rest a few minutes then I would take her to the shower where I intended to have her all over again.
Shameless I know, but I didn't care. I never believed I would be here with her, so I wanted to make this count. I chuckled softly.
“What’s so funny, Romeo?” she asked when her breathing evened out.
“I have more wicked plans for you today.”
She shuddered a bit as her body still hummed with overspent pleasure. “Like what?”
“Well, I figured we got pretty dirty this morning.”
Her face flamed and her cheeks glimmered a pretty pink. Then she burst out laughing.
I loved it that she blushed like a schoolgirl and her giggling? I could swear I got hard again.
“Yeah, we got pretty dirty,” she had to agree.
I raised my brows at her. “Yes, we did.”
She shook her head and teased, “So what are we gonna do about it?”
“We wash it all away,” I replied with a resounding smack of a kiss to those sweet lips of hers. Grabbing her up, I lifted her from the bed. “And then I’m gonna show you again, why you’re mine.”
Her gasp and the wide eyed look she gave me were too hilarious. “Again?” she asked in shock.
I nodded as I strode toward the bathroom with her in my arms. “I might never be done showing you why we belong together. Now turn the water on, my Julie.”
Her body shivered at my low tone as she reached over with a shaky hand and turned it on.
Stepping into the shower, I set her down onto the tiled floor as the hot water pounded against my skin. I watched transfixed as the water ran over her curvy body, soaking her hair, dripping off her breasts. Grabbing the body wash, I poured it into my hands and worked it into a fine lather before massaging it all over her. I loved the way her skin felt beneath my hands.
Her body nearly slumped against the wall as she enjoyed the massage. “Romeo?” she whispered. “You’re seriously washing me up?”
Already focusing on her beautiful skin, I knelt down in front of her and washed her thighs. “Yes very seriously, but I’m unsure if you will stay clean,” I murmured as I ran my soapy hands up the length of her shapely legs. I just could not take my eyes or my hands off of her.
“Romeo?” she asked in a breathless whisper.
I rubbed my hand between her legs, feeling our slick juices combine with the soap and water. My fingers dipped inside her as I flicked her clit button back and forth with my thumb.
“D-did you hear me?” she asked in a stammer as she moaned loudly, reaching out to grab the towel rack to steady herself.
Yeah, I heard her but my concentration was on this, on showing her there would be no going back. No changing her mind. I wanted her to be addicted to me, to my touch. I wanted her to need me and stay beside me. Get hooked on all that I could give her.
Steam began to rise from the shower while clouding my vision. Still, I pressed on, lightly slapping her sweet, round ass playfully, relishing the sound my hand made against her sweet skin.
Her surprised gasp was followed by a deep helpless sounding moan.
I kept playing with her clit as I held her up, my chest pressing to her back. I moved my attention to her neck and kissed her there. With my free hand, I reached for her nipple and played with it. My other hand was still busy toying with her clit.
Her pants and moans were music to my ears as I noted her body was trembling with undeniable pleasure.
Julianna whimpered as she arched her back and pushed her ass out to me. “Please, Romeo? I need you inside me…Please?”
This was what I’d wanted to hear. How could I resist such a plea? I fisted my length with my soap covered hand a few strokes then rinsed off before pushing deep inside her tight, hot core. Pulling her back gently by her sopping hair, I held her by one hip while pounding into her.
“Oh,” she whispered breathlessly. “Yes!”
I plunged deeper and harder then again smacked her buttcheek. I realized she really liked that, although I would never slap her skin hard. No, just a tiny sting while she was feeling insurmountable pleasure.
She screamed with pleasure from the sensation as I drove into her at the same time.
Groaning, I let my head fall back. Being inside her was ecstasy. Fucking her was better than any high I’d ever had. Water streamed over my head as I looked down admiring her ass while I thrust in and out of her. She gripped me so tightly it took my breath away.
“I-I’m going to come,” she whispered breathlessly.
“Yes, you will, sweetness,” I whispered to her ear as I thrust up high and deep into her.
She hesitated for a few seconds then her body clenched as her sweet, wet sheath tightened around me. “Mhmmm.” She moaned helplessly, her hands almost slipping from the towel rack and she again cried my name out as she climaxed.
I really hadn’t ever heard my name like this, coming from her lips as she came hard. Nothing could be more perfect or more beautiful. I held onto her to keep her connected to me where she belonged. As her core grabbed hard around my length, I gasped as my self control slipped away and I found myself coming with her.
After a long moment or two trying to catch her breath, Julianna looked back at me from her forward position up against the tiles then she whispered in a pant, “Sooo good…..”
“Yes, together, we are fire.” Immediately, my mouth found hers as warm water poured over us. Our kiss was deep and breathless. After a long minute, I pulled out of her and turned her around.
She was laughing now. “You are a wild one, Romeo. How come I never knew that?”
“I hide it well,” I joked as I again washed her all over. I even played with her swollen clit and her nipples.
“Romeo!” she exclaimed.
I peered up at her. “What?”
Her body actually slumped against the tiles as she smirked at me. “I’m weak as a baby…Are you even human?”
I shrugged. “I can’t seem to stop. I need to feel you, have you. But I suppose I should dry you off and get you something to eat.” I sighed in disappointment.
She kept grinning and shaking her head.
“I think I’m in love with you,” I admitted outright.
Her eyes widened at me.
Yes, I hadn’t planned to cause a crack in the world so suddenly, but it just slipped out. I placed my finger to her lips. “Don’t say anything. Not until you are ready.” I waited a few seconds then removed my finger. I don’t know why I just blurted that out. But I’d always been like that. Yes, a horrible trait for a lawyer to have. I felt something then I made sure I released those feelings.
In fact, a law professor told me once, ‘The truth may set you free but imprison someone else as well. Keep your emotions tight to your vest. Do not show as you tell, unless it is to give a convincing closing argument.’ I figured I might as well let her know the full truth. I knew I loved her that very first day when she yelled at me in my father’s office.
Julianna swallowed heavily and slowly nodded her head at me.
