Chapter 26

"Uh, Diane, uh." Juliette sighed, better to tell the truth. "She grabbed hold of my hand at the party." Juliette revealed and Blaze's eyes darkened, his jaws tightened and he closed his eyes.

"Why did she do it?" his voice was forcefully controlled.

"Don't get angry at her, she was drunk. It's fine. I guess she just hasn't let you go yet." Juliette rested her palm on his cheek and he melted into her touch, his eyes opening after she spoke.

"That doesn't excuse what she did. She marked your skin." He sounded as if there was some great loss.

"It'll heal." Juliette whispered, and Blaze brought his hand up to where hers rested on his cheek. He clutched her hand and allowed his hand to slowly run along the length of her arm, until he reached her elbow.

At the creak he pulled her arm down and he felt the loss of her touch, he saw the hurt cloud her eyes but she quickly replaced it with a smile.

Blaze traced his knuckles along the length of her face and saw her become astounded by his touch. He continued to trail his hand downwards until he reached her neck. His hands encircling her there ever so lightly that it was a tormenting, Juliette couldn't help but gasp at his touch, her breath increasing slightly.

"Blaze." He voice was a whisper in her sea of emotions.

"Shh." He commanded and she could only remain quite, she hadn't even known what to say.

His hands continued to trail, until it rested above her heart, he looked down at her and knew from the pulsing of her increasing heart rate that she wanted him almost as much as he wanted her.

"How long has it been, Juliette?" His voice sharp.

"How long h-has what been?" She questioned, she was slowly becoming out of breath, all by the mere touch of him. This man would drive her crazy.

"How long has it been since you've been touched this way?" He stared boldly into her eyes as if this were a normal conversation that could be held at any given time or place.

Juliette's mind raced off to Danny; the first man she gave herself too, and the last at that. But this touch didn't do this to her, she felt as if she was a complete wreak! Her emotions were not hers to control or contain.

Blaze noticed her expression and guessed, "It was him wasn't it?" He hinted at Danny and he couldn't help but feel angered that Danny shared such an intimate memory with her.

Juliette nodded in confirmation and Blaze shook off the feeling of his heart constricting in his chest.

"Do you mind if I change that?" He asked and Juliette only then was struck by it all, she immediately shot up from the bed, and remained in a sitting position. Blaze's hand fell away from around her and dropped to his side.

"Blaze, I don't think it's such a good idea." Juliette began to panic. She didn't want to fall even more for Blaze. She would see the act as something special, but to Blaze...how can she be sure he truly cared?

She threw her legs off the opposite side of the bed since Blaze was seated on the other side. She winced at the pain in her knee as she walked around the bed and to side where Blaze sat. She was about to rest her phone that was in her back pocket onto the table and leave.

Blaze stood facing the door, and Juliette. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. He knew she wanted him too so what was the problem? Perhaps she didn't trust him. The thought left a bad taste in his mouth. Juliette was about to leave when Blaze caught her hand.

She slowly turned around to look down at him. "Stay, Juliette."

She studies him, she wanted to stay but she was inexperienced, there was no way she would be able to satisfy this man, after all isn't that all he wanted? Or did he care? The question arose once again.

"Don't you trust me?" He asked, his eyes pleading with her. And Juliette didn't have to think of an answer because it was a simple truth, "Of course I do."

He abandoned his seat and stood, towering over her, his face a movement away. "Then stay, please." He whispered as he brought his hands up to cup her face, his head bending closer to hers until their foreheads touched.

"It's not wrong to want something Juliette. It's not wrong for us to want each other. Is it?" He continued to whisper and Juliette loved this side of Blaze, he was truly a God. He had all the right qualities to push anyone over the edge.

"No it isn't, but..."

"What?" He questioned.

"Danny was the first...I don't really know how to-"She stammered, embarrassment creeping in.

"Let me worry about that." Blaze responded as he brought his hands to rest on her hips, he dragged her closer, their lips connecting in a slow hypnotic rhythm, he continued to pull Juliette rigidly against him. Their bodies rubbing against each other in an agonizing torment.

Blaze ran his hands up along the length of Juliette, causing her to raise her arms. He then let his hand fall back to her waist where he gripped the top she was wearing and pulled it over her head. His hands resuming their previous place.

He walked back slowly, ensuring that the kiss didn't break, pulling her with him until he felt the softness of the bed at the back of him. This time he broke the kiss and sat down on the bed so that he was only half Juliette's height. He used the opportunity to look at her topless and sucked in a sharp breath.

His hands touching her bare skin, Juliette's hung her head back from the warmth and pleasure his touch provided, her arms resting on his shoulders. Then she felt his breath on her and realised that he rested his head on her stomach, her hands entwining into his hair.

Blaze placed a light kiss on Juliette's stomach, his hands holding her in place. His hands found their way to her pants, where he discarded those on the floor.

Juliette knew there was no turning back, well she didn't want to turn back. After Blaze got rid of her clothes he pulled her onto his lap, so that she was straddling him. She could feel the sweet object of his arousal stroking most intimate part of her. She helped him out of his shirt and the leaned back to view him in his glory.

Blaze was everything and more than she could've ever dreamed. He was truly a fine male specimen; she ran her hands along the hard contours of his chest making him groan in appreciation.

He grabbed hold of her hand and entwined them with his as he crashed his lips against hers once more, his other hand tracing circles into Juliette's inner thigh; he was so close to her centre that she was driven wild with desire.

The hand at her leg unclasped themselves to removed her bra, his hands going to the jewels he'd unlocked instantly. Juliette moaned as desire over took her.

After several minutes if teasing, Blaze finally rested Juliette on the bed, kicking of his pants until he lay naked in front of her. He ran both his hands from her ankles to where the last piece of clothing resided. He unmasked her; he nudged a knee between her legs so that she would allow him entrance. He ran his hands from her stomach to cleft in her breasts.

Blaze positioned himself between Juliette, his lips crashing on hers once more as he entered and began to move within her. She met his every thrust and kept him as wild as herself.

She grasped his hair tightly while Blaze held on to her hips with one hand and her face with the other.

Blaze moved slowly, ensuring that Juliette was able to get the most of this experience while he himself knew he was never this satisfied yet insatiable. He felt her tense and knew she was close, he began thrusting faster until they both shattered in waves of ecstasy.

Blaze gave her a last lingering kiss on her forehead and came to rest beside her, she was quiet and Blaze wouldn't dare ruin it. He pulled her against him and continued to hold her until they both decided to move. It wasn't long until sleep claimed them.

Blaze sat in the kitchen, slouching and on edge. He received the troublesome news that Juliette had gone out with Mary earlier that day. He was very much still asleep, but now he kept waiting anxiously for her to return. At least they skipped the awkward aftermath of their lovemaking, but yet he wanted her back with him.

Wanted to feel her warmth and spirit as he had only a couple of hours ago; it was growing dark and Blaze was growing impatient.

After he found that Juliette had left, he spent his day with faltering concentration as he applied himself the task of attending to reading and approving of various deals that were proposed, it was wasn’t due until a couple of months but he tried to get his mind off of her. Of course he failed miserably.
