Chapter Ten

Jace:

I’m seeing a different side of Alexis tonight, and I don’t mind that she seems to be wanting to take charge. As soon as we’re in her bedroom, she pulls off my jacket in a rough way before shedding her own. Her hands are nimble and eager as she undoes the buttons of my flannel shirt, stripping it from me in what feels like seconds. It’s a good thing the buttons yield, because in the mood she’s in, she probably would’ve torn them off if they hadn’t.

I feel the same sense of urgency, but I’m going to let Alexis take the lead. Seeing this fire burning in her makes me want her even more, and my emotions deepen with each kiss we share as she hurriedly strips my clothes.

When I’m down to just my jeans, I turn my attention to her. She lets me pull up the sweater dress she’s wearing. I pause at her hips because I can’t resist the smooth skin of her thigh. I have to touch it for a few minutes, caressing and stroking her, gradually working my way inward.

As I slide up the dress with one hand, her slinky red bikini pants appear underneath. They’re lacey and dripping with sex, and I can’t help thinking she might have worn them for me. “I thought you weren’t willing to repeat last night’s mistake?” I tease gently as I run a finger across the lace panel shielding her pussy.

She whimpers at the touch and arches against my hand. “This old thing? I didn’t wear it for you.” Her reply is breathy as I keep stroking her.

I laugh as I slip a finger in the side of her panties. She’s wet and ready for me, and it takes only a light stroke of her clit to elicit more of her sweet fluid. “Really? You wear sexy lingerie randomly?”

She blushes, and she’s almost as red as her dress. “Yeah, sometimes.”

I think she’s telling me the truth, but not the full truth. I have no doubt she occasionally wears sexy underwear just for her, but I can’t believe that tonight, it was only for her. “You’re sure you didn’t have some idea our evening might end this way?”

She makes a groaning sound as I put my hand fully in her panties, cupping her mound and rubbing her lips together. “I might’ve prepared for the possibility.” She gasps. “I meant it when I said last night was something I couldn’t repeat, but maybe I was just hedging my bets.”

I gently ease down the panties with one hand. When they’re at midthigh, I pause long enough to pull the sweater dress completely over her head. She’s wearing a matching bra, and it makes my mouth water. I can’t resist putting my head between her breasts and motorboating her. She giggles at the sensation and pushes me away, still laughing.

“Don’t ever do that again.”

I grin. “I can’t help it. You have luscious breasts.” I reach behind her to unfasten the clasp so that the bra sags forward. I strip it off her arms, and then she’s wearing just the panties and sinfully sexy thigh-highs that don’t require a garter to stay up. I decide to leave those on as I kneel on the floor to strip off her panties.

She steps out of them, and I determine the black stilettos should stay as well. They look good on her, and I can imagine bending her over and sliding into her slick heat while she’s still wearing them. The idea makes me moan, and my cock gets really hard, straining against the confines of my jeans.

I want a taste of her while I’m here, so I grasp her buttocks and pull her closer, burying my face in the apex of her thighs. She’s wet and smells divine, and I don’t hold back. I don’t ease into it either. I simply start devouring her, feeling the need to taste every bit of her, and to feel her come on my face.

She grasps my hair and moans as she rides me, arching against my head as I dip my tongue in and out of her, plunging in forcefully before lightening my touch to gently stroke her clit. It isn’t long before she’s coming on my tongue, just like I want. I lap her sweet nectar as she continues coming while she’s leaning against me, using me to stand upright.

I brace her carefully as I stand up, easing her toward the bed. She lies down, clearly spent for a moment, with her legs spread wide open. I undo my jeans and push them down, along with my briefs. When I’m as naked as she is, I join her on the bed.

To my surprise, she pushes me over onto my back. I didn’t think she had the energy to do so, but she’s clearly recovered, at least enough to put me at her mercy. I gladly surrender to that.

I land on my back, muscles tense with anticipation. A drop of pre-cum crests at the tip of my cock, and she bends her head to catch it before it can travel the length of my shaft. I moan at the feel of her hot tongue against me, and then I cry her name as her mouth engulfs me.

She doesn’t hesitate, and she isn’t shy. She takes as much as she me as she can in that first dip of her head, her hand wrapped around the base of my cock to span the distance between what she can take and what she can’t. I arch my hips, completely at her control as she licks and sucks me, hollowing her cheeks in a way that makes her look so sexy that I almost lose control right then.

One of her hands goes to my balls, gently playing with them as she twists her other hand at the base of my cock. Her throat relaxes to take me in even deeper after another second. She just holds me like that, my pre-cum dripping gently onto her tongue as she looks up at me. It’s at that moment that I realize I’m completely in love with Alexis.

There’s no waiting to see what will happen. I know damn well what’s going to happen. I’m going to love this girl for the rest of my life, and I realize how stupid my last ten years have been. Yeah, my folks fucked up their marriage, but that doesn’t mean everybody does.

There’s no way I’m going to end up hating Alexis, and though I’m sure we’ll be angry at each other at times over the years, and we’ll certainly argue, it’s not going to be enough to shake our love or turn us into the same bitter combatants my parents were.

It’s an earth-shattering moment to realize I’ve been a complete dumbass all these years, but there’s also relief too. If I’d changed my beliefs before this moment with Alexis, I might not have ended up with her. It seems like the worst thing that could ever happen, so I’m thankful that even though I might’ve wasted a decade of my life, I didn’t meet someone who might’ve diverted me from what I’m sure I’ve found with Alexis.

She pulls away before I can cum, and I’m glad of that. I want to be inside her. She settles on top of me, and I grip her hips to hold her against me, letting her slide slowly down my shaft. “I love you.” I don’t hold back the words, and I have no hesitation speaking them.

She looks surprised for a moment, but then her expression softens. “I love you too, Jace. I think maybe I always have. Even the last ten years or so. I couldn’t have maintained such a high level of anger if I didn’t still love you and still feel hurt.”

“I’m glad you love me.” Recalling how I wanted to have her, I pull out. “Turn over on your stomach.” She does, arching her hips in the air. It’s my turn to be in charge now, and I hold her steady as I sink into her, this new position allowing my cock to fill all of her, until I’m balls-deep. I start to thrust in and out of her, ensuring the head of my cock drags against her g-spot with each thrust. “I’m not leaving you, and nothing is going to break us up.”

She’s clutching the pillow, holding fast to it as if it’s the only thing keeping her anchored to the bed. I want to argue, reminding her that I’m keeping her secured against me, but I don’t have the willpower or the brainpower to do so.

“You think we’re going to live happily ever after?” She’s panting as she asks, and I thrust even harder into her. That makes the headboard pound against the wall again, and I wonder if Barb will hear it from the front desk before deciding I don’t care. Alexis isn’t working tonight because she’s going to be too busy with me.

“I think we’d better get a new headboard, but yeah, we’re going to be one of those disgustingly happy people, like Ryder and Lisbeth.”

“I can’t wait.” She presses back against me as I push deep inside her again. My cock starts to twitch as an orgasm threatens to overtake me.

She reaches between us, clearly stroking her own clit to hasten her pleasure, so we can come together. When I feel the first vibrations deep in her core, I no longer hold back. I pull back and slam into her once more with a shout of pleasure as she comes around me, her silken sheath clinging to me and milking every last drop. “I’ve been an idiot, but I’m done with that. I love you,” I say again.

“I love you too, Jace.” She shatters in my arms, letting out a cry she buries in the pillow. Her body is clinging to me, and I let it. I’d stay like this forever if we could.
