Chapter 27
Hayden
“Love doesn’t mean life is going to be easy, it just means it will be more interesting.”
~ Nora O’Sullivan
There was nothing sexier than the look on Jade’s face as she orgasmed, wave after wave of pleasure rushing over her, every bit of it showing on her expressive face.
I was kneeling next to her naked body on the bed, giving her every bit of that pleasure I saw played out over her features. I was in a unique position to experience it as both a participant and an observer. It was new to me, not something I’d ever done before. But it was sure as hell going to be something I would do again. And again. And again.
Jade and I were going to be together forever. I hadn’t been sure before but now I was. It seemed too good to be true but the girl next door was the girl of my dreams. My soulmate. My everything. And she loved me back.
This night had gone so differently than I’d imagined it would’ve. I’d come over here prepared to grovel. In the truck on the way over, I’d told myself to keep my patience and persist no matter what it took. I’d given myself a pep talk, pumping myself up for a marathon of apologies and promises. It would all be worth it, I assured myself, as long as she forgave me.
And then I hadn’t had to do any of it. Instead, as soon as she flung open the door, my whole world had changed for the better. The heavens opened up and beams of sunlight came shining down on me. Like I was the chosen one. And I was, come to think of it. Jade had chosen me, and I couldn’t ask for anything better than that.
And now, as she opened her eyes, caressed my face, and whispered that she loved me, I knew that I was the luckiest bastard in the whole state of Texas.
“Jade,” I spoke her name with the reverence it deserved as I stroked my thumb over her cheek, “I love you. So much. You’re it for me. Always have been. I can’t explain how much I love you but right now I’d like to show you.”
Her eyes flared and she drew in her breath sharply. “Yes. Hayden, yes. Right now. Please. Show don’t tell”
A smile curled on my lips as I bent down and kissed her, hard and long. Anything that was in my heart that I hadn’t managed to spit out with words, I wanted to get across to her with that kiss. There was nothing more to hold back from her. My heart was an open book, and it was filled with so much love for her, so much passion. I didn’t know if words alone would ever be enough to describe it.
I stood to take my clothes off, suddenly seized by a powerful need to be just as naked as she was. I needed to feel her skin against mine. I wanted to be as close to her as possible. The idea of being separated by anything, even clothes, was suddenly more than I could take.
As soon as I rose, disconnecting our mouths and bodies from each other, she sat up on the edge of the bed, following my body’s upward trajectory. She must’ve read my mind because she lifted her hands to help me undress. Her fingers were trembling and fumbling as they quickly moved over all of the various buttons, zippers, and buckles.
When I was finally naked, she took me in her mouth, lovingly caressing my cock with her lips and tongue. It felt so good. Like she was making love to me with her mouth. The warmth and friction against my throbbing dick gave me twice as much pleasure knowing that this wasn’t just physical, but so much more.
I brushed her hair back from her face in order to have a better view. It was so erotic, the sight of my shaft disappearing between her lips again and again as she moved her head up and down. It brought out a primal, caveman impulse in me.
It felt so good in fact, that my eyelids kept trying to squeeze themselves shut from the sheer pleasure of it, but I fought hard to keep them open. I didn’t want to miss even one second of this incredible show.
As her speed increased, she looked up and locked eyes with me, and my arousal shot through the roof. Her shiny hair shook as she moved, the glossy waves brushing against her shoulders in beautiful curling movements while her breasts bounced to the rhythm. It all combined to create a sensual image forever frozen in my memory.
I was so focused on how I felt and how good it looked that I almost missed all of the telltale signs building up in my body. I was about to shoot my load right down the back of her throat. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t let her think that every single time she put me in her mouth it was going to end with me filling that sweet, pretty mouth with my cum. I wanted her to know that her pleasure was the most important thing to me.
As quickly as I could make my lust-heavy muscles move, I bent down and put my hands under her arms, lifting her up as quickly as I could. I slid my arm underneath her knees and picked her up and climbed onto the bed on my knees and moved to the middle, laying her down against the pillows as gently as possible.
Then, a terrible thought occurred to me.
Fuck.
I dropped my forehead into my palm and mumbled, “Dammit, I can’t believe I did this.”
Her brow wrinkled and she tilted her head to the side. “Did what? What’s the matter?”
I gave a beleaguered sigh. “Protection,” I admitted. “I don’t have any.”
She smiled beautifully. “Not a problem. Top drawer of the nightstand.” She pointed to guide me.
I looked at the nightstand drawer, conflicting thoughts beating each other up inside my brain. As happy as I was not to be heading down to the drugstore, I definitely didn’t like the idea of her keeping condoms in her nightstand. I knew it was just the prehistoric Neanderthal in me, but that didn’t change that it was there.
Apparently my expression gave me away, because she laughed and reached up to pat my chest. “And don’t worry about the expiration dates,” she teased. “They’re brand new. I bought them day you came back to town.”
I turned to face her, the implication hitting me full force. “And you couldn’t have put me out of my misery sooner”
She shook her head. “Hell, no. I was pissed as hell at you. I didn’t plan on this happening but I’m not stupid either. You’re like pure Spanish fly to me. I wanted to be prepared and safe.”
I winked. “So, you were planning it, basically.”
Her jaw dropped and eyes flared, my cockiness sending her straight into spitfire mode. It was simultaneously the most adorable and sexiest look on her…which was why I had deliberately provoked it.
I leaned down and covered her mouth with mine, kissing away her amused indignation until nothing was left in either of us but pure arousal. Reaching into the drawer of her nightstand, I pulled out one of the condoms and made quick work of unwrapping it and sliding it on my erection.
Then I knelt between her legs and ran my hands up her inner thigh and pushed them further apart, exposing her beautiful slick wetness to my eyes. She was so gorgeous. So wet, so ready.
“Jade.” Her name came out in a whispery rasp.
“Hayden, please,” she begged. “I want you inside me. It’s time to show, not tell.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
I grabbed my shaft and positioned it at her entrance and then I slowly dove into her waiting wetness. Her inner walls clenched around me, creating a tight envelope for my demanding erection. I moved slowly at first. Building the momentum and speed with each push in and pull out. Her body felt like it was vacuum sealed around my pulsing hardness. With every thrust, I stretched her tighter, and she gave a cry of release and pleasure every single time I pounded into her.
“Yes, yes,” she gasped, digging her fingernails into the back of my shoulders. I liked the little twinges of pain it sent shooting across my skin, contrasting with the smooth pleasure that the rest of her body was making me feel.
She dug her heels into the mattress and thrust her hips upward to meet me, her back arching and chest flushing suddenly. Every muscle in her body clamped down on me, and I knew that I had sent her rocketing up into outer space yet again. So I followed along, joining her on that stellar space ride. We spun out together, seeing stars the whole time.
It seemed to go on forever, and I liked that just fine. I never wanted it to end. When it finally did, though, I collapsed on the bed and pulled her with me, loving the way that she snuggled into the nook where my neck met my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me.
I believed it now, that we would really be together forever. Not just because I wanted to, but because I truly believed it, with my whole heart. Because it was real. I loved Jade, and she loved me. Forever.
