Chapter 1 #2
This is Livianna, and she’s a person. My person. A beautiful, smart, sexy, receptive woman whom I love to the depths of my soul.
Her home won’t be ready for another week, so she still has to be living in the beach house. My driver pulls up at midnight. There’s a dim light coming from the bedroom, shining from the front window. It appears to be the only thing illuminating the space.
Hopefully, that means she’s awake and we can have a much-needed discussion. I grab my bags and stride to the front door.
For a minute, I consider knocking, but I check the locked enclosure where we keep the extra key. I punch the code, and the tiny door that meshes with the siding of the house near the doorbell opens.
The key remains inside. I pray that’s a sign she’s willing and wanting me to use it since I’m the only one who knows how to access it.
Once I get up enough nerve and calm my racing heart, I enter. There’s soft, meditative music playing in the background. I place my bags down and venture toward the bedroom.
The lamp on the bedside table gives off a soft, relaxing glow. Water from the shower runs and the trickling of it hitting the walls and going down the drain echoes into the bedroom.
I should wait for her to come out, but I need to see her and explain myself. I knock on the door of the en suite to alert her that I’m here.
She spins and peers out through the glass into the mirror. The second her eyes meet my longing gaze, she gasps.
“Jax! What are you doing here?” Soapy bubbles slide down her front.
Her amazing figure demands my attention. I can’t help myself. I want, need, and love her, and she must know that this very second.
As I pad in her direction, I unbutton my shirt. “I came back to show you how wrong you were about what my intentions were when I left. I’m here to tell you I’m in love with you, Livianna Grace. It’s time you experience all my love.”
“You love me? Why haven’t you told me until now?”
“Because that demon called fear got in my way, but I’m conquering that this instant.” I remove my clothing.
Her smile beams. “So the mighty king has fears, too?”
“Yes, but I’m here to rectify all that.”
“Then get in here with me.” She steps away from the opening of the shower.
I get in, take her in my arms, and crash my mouth to hers. The sweetness of her tongue sends pulses of passion into every cell of my body. I explode in a fit of desire.
“Mon trésor, I need to be inside of you.”
“Then take me, Jax, and claim me as yours.” She hooks her leg around my waist.
I lift her, align myself up to her pussy, and thrust into her in one swift motion. She tosses her head back and moans.
A low, throaty laugh releases from my lungs. “There’s my little firecracker. Show me how you’ve missed me.”
She brings her head back and with a smoky gaze locked in on me, she tugs on my hair with her fingers, gripping it in her fist. “I’ve missed you more than you could ever know.”
I push into her until I’m balls deep. She grinds and twists over me. To balance us, I rest my palm against the wall while holding her up with my other arm. Her thighs are wrapped tight around me, so I don’t think she’ll fall.
The leverage only assists me in my quest to own every inch of her. I grow in length and girth beyond anything I’ve experienced. Every atom in my cock expands. I’m harder than I’ve ever been.
“That’s the spot, Jax.” She grunts as she works herself over me. “Right there.”
I stay in position and pound into her. “Play with your clit. Get yourself off.”
She pants and does what I command. Her eyelids droop as her breathing becomes labored. Her cheeks grow flush.
“Oh, Jax. I’m going to come.” The words slide off her lips in a greedy whisper.
“That’s my good girl. Let it all out.”
She takes in a rush of air and stills herself. Her walls tighten and clench around me.
I groan. “I’m coming with you. You feel too good to stop.”
Together we blow into magical pieces of euphoria. There’s nothing like it in the world. Our expression of love and the act itself transcend all time. I float in a space of the most beautiful peace, knowing we’ve made it back to each other.
I open my eyes and have cum all over my chest. My morning meditation took a drastic turn from what I had intended, but the release was needed. I’m more relaxed than I was when I first woke up.
I wipe myself off with a towel I have near the bedside table by the bed in the rear of the jet and get into my clothes. There’s a knock on the door of the small private room.
“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Crowne, but we’re getting ready to land and need you to be seated,” Judy states from the other side.
I swing the door open and step out. “Perfect timing.”
“How was your rest?”
“I slept well and even had time to fit in a few minutes of motivational meditation before you came and got me.”
“I’ve traveled with you long enough.” She struts before me. “I think I’ve learned your sleep patterns as we fly.”
“You probably have.”
We get back to the seating area where I usually sit. There’s a magazine on the table.
She reaches for it. “Sorry, I was lounging here while you were sleeping and wasted my time with one of my guilty vices.”
“Reading tabloids?”
“Yes.” She turns red.
I smile to alleviate any of her embarrassment, glancing at the cover. “We all have them, so—”
The image on the front stops me in my tracks. It’s a picture of Livianna. The headline catches my attention. I read it as fast as I can. It takes a few moments for it to compute.
The blood in my veins goes cold. There’s no way she would’ve done what they’re saying. There’s no possibility of it.
She wouldn’t.
All the work she’s done on herself disappears in the blink of an eye. I was only gone for two and a half weeks, but that’s all it took for her to be taken from me.
My hopes of a delightful reconciliation crash to the center of the earth. My heart turns to stone, knowing my return will be anything but pleasant.
