Chapter Nine
Josie
For once, wakefulness did not come easily to Josie. Her body still feeling the effects of the pleasure Jax had shown her. After their first time together, she had fallen into a light doze, only to be woken to Jax licking her swollen flesh from behind. Deciding actions spoke louder than words, Josie indicated her wakeful state by lifting her hips into his embrace. With one last lick in appreciation, Jax had pulled her to all fours and had taken her urgently from behind. After another explosive orgasm for the both of them, he had dragged Josie to the magnificent Jacuzzi tub where, after gently bathing her, Jax had increased the pressure of the jets and positioned Josie over the side of the tub. Clinging to the tub’s rim, Jax had taken her from behind while the tube’s jets had worked her clit to one mini orgasm after another.
Thrust after thrust, he had demanded she surrender to him, telling him with words of his ownership of her body. Just as she was sure she would go insane from the pleasure, he pulled her hips tightly into his own as his own release spilled forth. Once they had both caught their breaths, Jax dried her from head to toe, gently patting every inch of her skin, before negligently drying himself.
Jax had declared they needed to replenish their depleted energy, and had sat Josie on the kitchen counter as he prepared a snack plate of assorted fruits and cheeses. As Josie nibbled on a few grapes Jax stood beside her, cutting fresh strawberries. Examining the play of muscles as he worked, she had found herself surprised by the surge of desire that coursed through her body. Josie had come more in the short time they have been together than in the entire course of her relationship with Lawrence.
She wasn’t sure how it was physically possible to want to go again so soon. As if sensing her interest, his gaze met her own, heating at the desire that was revealed there. Moments later, the fruit was forgotten and she lay sprawled on the counter, heels propped beside her bottom as Jax ate at her needy flesh. After the kitchen counter incident, Jax had pulled her to the small table in the corner of the room. Seating himself on the chair, he pulled her onto his lap, impaling her once again. Gripping the back of the chair on either side of Jax’s head, Josie braced her feet against the rungs of the chair and rode them both to an epic conclusion.
Exhausted, but satisfied, Jax tucked Josie into bed, spooning her form tightly against his own. As if it had a mind of its own, his cock hardened slightly at the contact. As if needing the contact, he had entered her flesh again, but made no move to slake his hunger. Buried deeply inside her replete form, he had kissed Josie one last time, before bidding her to sleep.
Opening her eyes slowly, Josie attempted to gather her sex scattered thoughts. Glancing at the alarm on the bedside table, she noted it was half passed nine. Jax’s side of the bed was cold, which was to be expected this late in the morning. After one last exhalation and stretch of her well-loved muscles, she rose from the rumpled bed. Plucking Jax’s discarded T-shirt from the floor, she savored his scent on the material as she pulled the garment over her head. Although snug at her hips, the shirt reached to just below her derriere, providing ample coverage.
Deciding to find Jax, and possibly a repeat performance of the night before, she made her way down to the kitchen. Finding breakfast, but no Jax, Josie snagged a piece of the fresh fruit, plopping it into her mouth as she continued her search. As she approached his office, Jax’s voice could be clearly heard through the partially opened door. Deciding to surprise him, she began to sneak quietly to the entrance when his words stopped her in her tracks.
“I don’t pay you to think Jenkins, I pay you for results. I’m done waiting. Josie is mine, and I do not want anything to ever make her doubt that. Make sure they know I’m off the market, and keep me off of that damn eligible bachelor list. Last thing I need is a gaggle of single women throwing themselves at me when the magazine hits the stands. I’m going to be a father soon, and I can’t have my future wife in any doubt of my fidelity.”
A brief pause followed as whomever was on the other side of the line replied. At Jax’s murmured “Just see it gets done” then clattering of the phone into the cradle was heard. “Fuck.” Jax muttered angrily, obviously less than pleased with the conversation.
Her back against the wall was the only thing holding Josie upright. Smiling in awe, she lightly touched the rounded flesh of her belly. She hadn’t thought of protection last night; in fact she had been too far gone to give it a thought. Even now she could be pregnant with Jax’s child. A child he seemed to want and anticipate with great longing. A radiant smile bloomed as Josie realized the significance of his statement. He really wanted her. Her: Josephine Yandel, apathetic paralegal and overall nobody.
Thinking back over their time together without the veil of self-doubt that normally clouded her vision, she could now see his actions for what they were. An attempt to take her and keep her. How many times last night had he had her tell him she was his? How many times had he claimed her with a growled “mine”?
With a new found determination, Josie left her spot against the wall and confidently strode into the office. Wearing only a dark grey pair of sweat that did interesting things for his package, Jax sat sprawled behind the desk, head thrown back as if in exasperation, heels of his hands lightly rubbing his closed eyes. As if sensing her presence, his eyes shot open; his worried gaze capturing hers.
“Baby Doll, I didn’t hear you come down.” Making her way around the desk, Josie straddled his lap, leaning over to kiss the underside of his jaw. Arms coming around to pull her tighter against his frame, Jax’s cock began to harden under her bottom, as if in approval of her seating choice.
“You ruined my plan for morning sex by not being there when I got up Jax.” she complained with a pout as she nibbled delicately along his jaw.
Groaning at the sensation, Jax angled his chin higher to give her better access to his flesh.
“Sorry baby; something came up that needed my attention, and you looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to bother you.”
Hands sweeping down over his chest, Josie roaming hands toyed with the waistband of his sweatpants.
“Who was on the phone?” she demanded softly.
Attempting to sidestep the question, Jax’s own hands began a teasing sweep of the exposed skin peeking from beneath his stolen shirt.
“You look good in my clothes Baby Girl, but you’d look better in nothing. Let me help you with that.” Stopping her own foray, she halted his progress by covering his hands with her own.
“You didn’t answer me Jax. Who was on the phone?”
With a resigned sigh, he relented. “I got a message from Jenkins this morning; one of the assistants assigned to monitor the firm’s social media accounts and PR interests. An article was posted on one of the gossipy magazine sites listing me as one of the most eligible bachelors in the city again. The list is set to be released in this month’s edition. I had to make it clear to Jenkins that I am to be removed from the online edition as soon as possible, and in no way am to be mentioned in the print version. It’s going to take some doing, but it will be done.”
Despite the pep talk she had given herself, Josie deflated somewhat at the reminder of his high demand. Something of what she felt must have shown on her face as, with a burst of action, Josie somehow found herself divested of clothing, impaled on Jax’s cock.
Almost angrily, he muttered “It doesn’t matter Baby Doll. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, or thinks” reaching between their bodies, Jax’s large palm rested high above her left breast, indicating her heart. “This is my heaven” Lowering his palm, he cupped her rounded stomach “This is my future” and finally, his hand brushed past her curls, cupping his hand around the flesh that was still impaled on his own. “And this is my temple, one I plan on worshiping at daily. My everything begins and ends with you Josephine. I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you. You’ve been my everything from day one and I will gladly spend every day, for the rest of our lives proving it to you.”
With tears of joy welling in her eyes, Josie began a swiveling rock on his cock, cupping his beloved face in both hands and bringing him in for a kiss.
“I love you too Jaxon Montgomery. I’m sorry I let my own insecurities cloud my mind. I’m not going to lie, and say they’ve magically disappeared, but I promise you, no longer will I allow them to interfere with us. Dropping small kisses against his questing mouth, Josie whispered “You best put a ring on this finger lover. Can’t list you as an eligible bachelor if you’re married, now can they?”
