jAGUAR - Cloudy June
Dimitri watched Jackie force herself to eat the entire plate of chicken parmigiana, pasta and steamed veggies from her favourite Italian restaurant.
She usually took her time to savour the meal, but Dimitri could tell she just couldn’t find it in herself to enjoy the food.
She had sipped the wine, finishing two glasses by the time her plate was empty.
He didn’t have high hopes for dessert, but was pleasantly surprised when she asked for and ate a big slice of cake.
The chocolate seemed to have won her over better than the rest of the meal.
When she got up to clear the plates, Dimitri shooed her away, telling her to get changed and he’d be right with her. She gave him a suggestive once-over before leaving him to clean up.
She returned as he finished loading the dishwasher.
He rinsed his hands before turning to see what she’d put on and whistled low as he dried them, drinking her in.
Jackie leaned against the island, waiting for him.
She wore a sheer black mesh set. Her nipple piercings glinted in the candlelight along with the thin chains that dangled from the bra.
He took his time staring at every inch of her.
He tossed the towel on the counter and walked up to her.
“Do I want to know how much this cost?” he asked, twisting one of the chains between his fingers.
Jackie scrunched her nose at him. “Probably not.”
“Four digits?” She nodded hesitantly at him.
Dimitri narrowed his eyes at her and asked, “Each?” She cringed, which was confirmation enough.
He chuckled, shaking his head. “It’s a good thing you’re loaded.
” He laced his fingers through her hair and leaned in to kiss her.
Jackie hesitated, pulling back slightly.
He let out a breath before saying, “I know I made it sound like you don’t have a choice tonight, but that only applied to dinner and sleeping.
You can say no to this. If sex is going to be too much, we can just watch a movie or something. ”
Jackie shook her head. “No, that’s not it,” she said. “Thank you for making me take a break tonight. Just the food alone has me feeling so much better—so much more clear-headed. I needed the break. Tomorrow I’ll be reset and ready to focus on finding Talia. We both will. So thank you.”
He smiled at her, glad she was actually taking their need for a break seriously. “You’re very welcome.”
“I’m letting go tonight,” she continued. “I am yours to do with what you wish. I know my limits, and if I reach any, I will say sunshine.”
Dimitri hesitated now. “Are you sure?”
Jackie gave him an innocent look, though he knew better about what it meant.
She took his hand and led him toward the bedroom, the small chains hanging from her bra clinking gently as she turned.
“I can handle it,” she insisted. “I even put on extra mascara because I know how much you like it when it streaks down my face.”
He stopped just after the threshold of the bedroom, groaning as he tugged Jackie back against him. His fingers found their way into her hair again, and she let him pull her into a kiss.
Their tongues met, and it felt like the first time all over again. Nervous energy flooded Dimitri’s gut as he sank into the kiss.
He missed Jackie so much. Even though they lay next to each other every night, even if he rolled over to hold her, Jackie was distant.
He knew her mind was racing as she tried to figure out how to get Talia back.
He knew her mind wouldn’t stop shouting at her, even when her body tried demanding rest. He knew he was at fault for the situation, and that made him feel responsible for Jackie feeling like a ghost. It felt like they’d been apart for months, and finally they’d found their way back to each other.
Jackie pulled away, looking dreamy and breathless. “When was the last time you kissed me like that?”
“Briefly, when we got home tonight. Before that, though? Montreal,” he said gently.
Her face fell, but he kissed her again before she could start to spiral.
He clutched her hips, pushing her toward the bed.
He reached down to cup her ass, intending to lift and toss her onto the bed, but paused, pulling away from the kiss.
“I have to delicately take this off and set it aside, right?” he asked, toying with a chain between two fingers.
She considered his question, watching the chain glint in the light. Dimitri tilted his head, waiting for an answer. “I’m letting go tonight.” She nodded, then shrugged. “And I’m loaded. So I can just replace it.”
Dimitri chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re too good to me.
” He released the chain, his fingers digging through Jackie’s hair, tugging her head back to kiss her again.
She sighed heavily into his mouth, her own hands reaching up to his chest to unbutton his shirt.
His mouth trailed down her throat, biting gently each time Jackie undid a button.
When he reached her collarbone, and Jackie ran out of buttons, he reached down, gripping her ass and hoisting her up into his arms. She wrapped her legs around him, their mouths finding each other again.
She expected him to close the distance to the bed, but instead, he turned toward the floor-to-ceiling window next to it. He pressed her into the glass, ensuring she felt every inch of his need for her. She hummed contentedly into his mouth as she ground into him.
He found the seam of her panties and forced his fingers inside, gripping her bare ass tight before shifting to her centre.
Jackie was already soaked. Dimitri’s fingers slid through her easily, finding their mark and slipping inside.
Jackie wound her hips, working him deeper inside her.
She moaned when he slipped a second, then a third finger in.
He let Jackie do most of the work. He curled his fingers, still searching for the G-spot he knew had to be in there somewhere. He only moved his hand to feel more of her. Jackie seemed to catch on, shifting her hips to get his fingers right where she needed them.
He felt it.
What Google and Talia’s body had instructed Dimitri to feel would be soft and spongy. An inch or so above her entrance, he felt it. It was so small, but it was undeniable now that he’d felt it.
Jackie moaned when he stroked the spot. She curled her hips up, pushing his fingers deeper into her, and it was gone.
He let her move against his hand. He knew he’d find it again now that he had an idea of where it was and what it felt like.
Tonight was for Jackie. She could have whatever she wanted, and if what Jackie wanted was to ride his hand, he was going to let her.
She ground on his hand, pushing for more. “Dimitri,” she breathed, not masking her neediness. She felt the corners of his mouth curl upward against her own. His fingers abandoned their post inside her, dragging a whiny moan from her as they did.
Jackie felt his hands fumbling beneath her before returning to her ass and lifting her higher on his waist. His fingers dug into the panties again, pulling them completely to the side.
He slicked himself through her before positioning himself at her entrance, then he released her ass, letting her slide down onto him, and they moaned together.
Dimitri pressed Jackie into the window, pinning her with his hips.
He kept his thrusts slow, pushing deep. Jackie’s mouth finally left his as she threw her head back in pleasure.
He watched her a moment. Jackie’s eyes were closed tight.
She gasped at each thrust, and he knew gravity was working to push him all the way to her back wall.
He hooked his arms under Jackie’s legs, pulling them up and thrusting himself even deeper. He tried picking up his pace in the new position, egged on by Jackie clamping around him, but he knew he was going to start flagging fast if they kept up that position.
When all he had left was one last thrust, he finally turned them toward the bed.
Dimitri only pulled out as he kissed his way down Jackie’s body.
His fingers hooked into the waist of her panties, pulling them off in one swift move.
He pressed her legs up, spreading her wide and began his second dessert.
Jackie’s moans shifted, deeper and more resounding as Dimitri took his time savouring every long, languid lick. Nothing compared to how much Dimitri missed Jackie’s presence, but his tongue between her legs was nonetheless a close second.
Her first orgasm arrived quickly. Happy hormones flooded her veins, loosening muscles she hadn’t realized were so taut as they went.
As much as Jackie wouldn’t admit it, her body couldn’t hide how much it needed the break as well.
Her shoulders relaxed, and her head sank into the mattress.
The electric sensation coursing through her was exactly the electroshock therapy she hadn’t known she needed.
Dimitri kept going, slowing his pace even more, edging—torturing—the next orgasm out of her.
Jackie begged for more. She gripped his hair, pressing herself into his mouth, urging him for more pressure. He wouldn’t let her have it. Jackie had earned her break, but he had earned the right to savour her.
He hadn’t pushed for sex since Talia’s abduction.
Neither of them had been in the right headspace for it.
But there were nights when he pulled Jackie close—letting her feel his desire for her, as close as he’d come to asking—that he couldn’t help but hope she’d roll over and let him touch her.
She hadn’t, but there’d been two nights he woke up to her nestled against his chest as she breathed his name.
Those nights were especially hard for Dimitri to keep it together.
Jackie seemed to be punishing herself for Talia’s abduction, and that apparently meant not allowing herself any pleasure whatsoever.
