Chapter Thirty
Artimus
After a few months of intense therapy, Julia was feeling much more herself, and was feeling mentally healthy for the first time since Price’s attack. She had had her ups and downs, but she was constantly amazing me with her strength and resilience. And with Price in jail and soon heading to prison for the next fifty years, Julia had seen justice served.
I had waited patiently for her to get the help she needed to get back to the young woman she was before Price had broken into her home. We’d made our promises to one another but hadn’t done anything more than that, other than spend most of our days together, just like we always had.
It was important to me that she really felt ready and okay after all that had happened to her. I didn’t want to do anything to further traumatize her.
She’d stayed in her apartment with her roommate. I’d wanted her in my home, but she said she needed to learn how to feel safe on her own again before coming to live with me.
I did ask her about getting married, to which she responded that she didn’t think that was necessary. Her exact words were, “Who needs a paper and a person to tell them what they already know?”
I had to agree with her. I would’ve married her in a heartbeat if she’d wanted that though. As it was, I had already made legal documents that would protect her financially if anything happened to me. She was my sole heir to everything I owned.
Julia claimed she didn’t need any of that. But I had insisted on it. I wanted us to share everything, not just our lives and eventually our bodies.
The end of the workweek was at hand. On a Friday at 4:37 p.m., Julia came into my office. Her eyes were bright and shining. “I’ve got an idea for this weekend. Are you busy?”
“Nope.” I leaned up in my chair, giving her my full attention. “What do you have in mind, Julia?”
She smiled shyly at me as she twirled a lock of her dark hair between her fingers. “I thought that I’d like to make the move this weekend. Start the more physical part of our union. If you’re up for it, that is.”
It took a moment for me to register what she was saying, but then it hit me. “You’re ready to move in with me?”
She laughed and nodded. “And I’m ready for more too. I’m ready to be with you in every way, Artimus.”
“We’re going to have sex too?” I asked, as it was just kind of hard to believe that we were really going to add that in, finally.
She nodded. “Yeah. If you want. I’m ready if you are.”
“Baby, you’ve got no idea how ready I am.” I jumped up, picking her up bridal style. “We’re going to spend the entire weekend and all of next week at our place in the Hamptons, baby.”
She laughed as I carried her out through the lobby then into the elevator. “You seem excited.”
“You better believe it.” I kissed her then as we rode that elevator all the way down.
That was our first kiss.
I didn’t feel our tongues touching, mingling with each other, though I know they did. What I did feel was hard to explain—it was more than mere physical sensation. I held her in my arms, but I didn’t feel her there. I didn’t feel my feet on the floor. I didn’t notice the people who got on or off the elevator. All I noticed was how high I felt. As if she and I were floating far above the world.
She pulled her mouth away from mine. “We’ve stopped. Time to get off the elevator.”
I put her down then took her by the hand. “Okay.” I felt out of breath as we walked out to get into the car. The driver waited with the door open. “Um, home. Hers first. We’re packing to go to the Hamptons for the week.”
“Yes, sir,” he said, and we went on our way.
Hours later we were at the mansion I’d told Julia about countless times, though she hadn’t ever been to. “So, this is our home in the Hamptons, Julia. What do you think about it?”
Her eyes moved to look up the grand staircase. “I think it’s lovely, but I would really like to see the master bedroom if you don’t mind.”
I didn’t mind at all. Picking her up, I carried her up the stairs and to our bedroom. Laying her on the bed, I unzipped the dress she was wearing, which thankfully had a zipper running down the front of it. I shimmied it off her, leaving her in a pink bra and matching panties.
She smiled. “Now your turn.” She got up on her knees, taking my shirt off then undoing my pants and pushing them to fall on the floor. “There, now we’re both in our underwear.”
“Not for long.” I pulled her bra off then pushed her playfully back on the bed, then took her panties off too.
She crooked her finger at me, and I didn’t think I’d ever been so hard in my life. “Come lie down so I can get rid of your underwear.”
I did as she said and then we were finally both naked. She was on her knees, a vision of beauty with her creamy skin and dark hair flowing around her body.
She wiggled her finger again. “Come, get on your knees in front of me.”
Moving to do whatever she said, I took her hands in mine, pulling them up to wrap around my neck before I placed mine on her hips. “I love you, Julia.”
“And I love you, Artimus.” She leaned in and our mouths met.
Warmth surrounded me instantly. The same floating effect occurred, and I felt like I wasn’t in my body, yet I could feel every sensation that zipped through me. Lightning zigzagged around, followed my deep electric pulses. I felt more connected to her than I’d ever felt in all the months I’d known her.
I moved her to lie on her back, moving my body over hers. She spread her legs for me, her knees bent, and I could feel her feet on either side of my ass. My mouth left hers to kiss her entire body.
Her luscious tit filled my mouth. I bit her nipple, making her shriek. “Yes, more!”
She raked her nails across my back as I sucked her tit until I felt her body shivering. Only then did I leave it to kiss my way down the rest of her body.
Her hands tangled in my hair as I gently kissed her clit. I peppered it with soft kisses until it was swollen and three times the size it had been. I left it to lick my way through her hot folds, and then stabbed my tongue into her tight pussy.
“Yes, Artimus!” she gasped. She had no idea what was in store for her if she was this excited over foreplay.
Pumping my tongue into her, I played with her clit until she was screaming with the first orgasm I’d ever given her—the first of many. Only then did I leave that delectable mound to insert the part of me that had been wanting to be a part of her for so long.
I moved up her taut body, deliberately rubbing my skin against hers as she struggled to catch her breath. Cupping the back of her neck, I whispered in her ear, “Open your eyes, Julia. I want to see you when we connect for the first time.”
She opened her eyes, which had gone dark with desire. She gripped my biceps then nodded. “Do it. I’m ready.”
I kissed her once more then pulled back. “I will always love you.”
“And I you.” She let her lips part, her body looking totally relaxed and ready.
The head of my cock pulsed at the edge of her vagina. I could feel the heat coming from inside of her. The wetness of her juices would help me glide into her virgin tissue.
Our eyes locked, I could feel her body tighten as I slowly slid in the first inch before making one hard thrust, filling her with my rigid cock.
Her eyes went wide and one tear fell down her cheek. My heart ached to know that I had caused her any pain. I wiped it off her precious face, and then any glimpse of pain in her expression went away as we stared deeply into each other’s eyes. I saw myself in her brown eyes. I was inside of her in more ways than one.
I was in her heart. I was in her brain. I was in her soul.
Moving slowly, I saw the pain had left her body completely, and all that remained was pleasure. She moved one hand up to place her palm against my cheek. “I had no idea, Artimus.”
I couldn’t take my eyes off her as I continued giving her long strokes that took me out of this world and into another one. She wrapped her legs around my waist; her nails clawed my back as she arched her body up, urging me to go faster.
Her innocence was no more, and she wanted more from me. So I gave it to her. The beast inside of me tore through, taking her with a savageness I didn’t know I had.
She loved it, screaming wildly as I slammed into her. When her body went stiff, and her cunt clenched all around my cock, I burst inside of her as we reached our orgasms together. A bright light seemed to fill me as we came together that way.
I had never experienced the kind of heat that took over my body then. She held my shoulders, pulling her body up to mine, her breasts squishing against my chest as we both panted that same precious word to each other.
“Forever.”
