Chapter 11 (Mandy)

I woke up in the morning to find myself sore in multiple places.  it wasn’t a bad kind of sore. Slowly, I moved my body, limb by limb, remembering the fiery night I had experienced with Jasper.

Even now, it felt like my mind was mush.

Had we really fallen into bed together?

My heart began to race just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a pair of arms tightened around my torso. I looked down to find Jasper fast asleep, holding onto me like a child would hold onto a stuffed animal. His dark hair was sprawled across his forehead, covering his eyes. Gently, I pushed it back, admiring his facial features.

He really was handsome.

Everything about him seemed perfect from his brow bowl to the sharpness of his nose. He was chiseled and flawless.

I leaned down and kissed the top of his head, doing so slowly, hoping not to wake him.

As soon as I did, his eyes shot open.

They were gorgeous. No, beyond gorgeous. They were stunning.

“Good morning.” His voice was husky and deep.

The sound alone was enough to fan the fire lingering in my stomach. Without realizing what I was doing, I moved closer, settling myself against his chest.

He placed his hand on the back of my head, holding me in an affectionate manner.

Somehow, it felt like I had known this man my entire life. There was just something about him that made it easy to let my guard down. I wasn’t worried about getting hurt. In fact, laying in his arms like this, I felt an incredible sense of serenity.

“Sleep well?” He asked, kissing the top of my head. He cupped my cheek in his large, rough-palmed hand, letting his thumb rub into my skin.

I nuzzled into his touch, craving it more than anything else. “Extremely well.”

“Good.” He smiled.

It sent my heart racing. If he kept this up, I was going to die of a heart attack or something.

“You know, I never gave you a massage. That’s awfully rude of me, don’t you think?”

I laughed. “I really don’t mind. What you gave me was much better than a massage. You blew me away.”

His finger danced along my collarbone as he looked into my eyes. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, but I promised you a massage and that’s exactly what you’re going to get. Roll over for me.”

“Really, you don’t have to do this.”

“I want to.” He insisted.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” He answered, reaching into his nightstand and pulling out some baby oil. He squeezed some into his hands before taking my nipples between his fingers, rolling them back and forth. “If you don’t want to turn around, I suppose I can do your chest first, but I wanted to leave the best for last.” He said with a wink.

I moaned, tilting my head back in pleasure, toes already curling. This man had a magic touch. He knew exactly where to focus on to drive me wild. I bit my lip to keep as quiet as possible but even  I was moaning his name, begging for more.

Jasper was intent on taking this slow – agonizingly slow.

I pushed my hips into the air, but he simply ignored me, massaging his fingers into the tender flesh around my nipples. It felt so good.

Goosebumps decorated my skin as I arched my back, finding it hard to keep still with the pleasure coursing through my body.

“You know, some girls are able to climax through nipple play alone. Are you one of those girls?”

“I… I don’t know…” I breathed.

“I would say that there’s only one way to find out, but I owe you a massage and it's best if we don’t get sidetracked. Don’t you agree?”

I groaned. “You’re mean.”

“Am I?” He replied with a smirk on his face. “You know, most guys don’t bother to hand out massages free of charge.” As he spoke, he slipped his hands underneath my body, rolling me over.

With my back exposed, he squirted a bit more baby oil onto his hands, lathering them up. A second later, he ran them along my shoulder blades.

“Mmm.” I murmured.

“Do you like that?” He whispered into my ear.

“Mhm.”

“Just relax and enjoy yourself.” He moved his fingers with skill. He knew exactly where to apply pressure and where to allow his fingers to just glide along my skin.

Soon enough, my eyelids grew heavy. “If you keep this up, you are going to put me to sleep.”

“You can sleep if you’d like.”

“But then I won’t be able to enjoy myself.”

He chuckled. “Do you like it that much?”

“I do. No one has done this for me.”

“This is your first massage?”

“I guess you can say that,” I admitted.

“Have you never had a significant other?” Jasper questioned, hands stopping, waiting for my response.

“I have.”

“And they never offered to give you a massage?”

“No.”

“They aren’t worth your time, then. A girl like you deserves to be pampered and well taken care of.” He leaned down, allowing his lips to travel along the back of my neck.

I shivered, a tingle of pleasure running down my spine when he kissed the nape of my neck. “Mmm…”

At my sounds of pleasure, he lingered there, sucking and nipping on the sensitive flesh all while massaging my back and making my body feel weightless.

Eventually, his hands moved down to my ass, applying a bit more pressure to my cheeks.

“Mmm.”

He chuckled. “You’re rather receptive to my touch. I like that.” He mused, spending a bit more time on my ass before moving to my legs.

This was amazing.

I closed my eyes, losing myself in the moment.

Then, he took my left foot into his hands, pressing his thumb into the heel. Jasper worked slowly, making me feel cared for.

“Jasper…” It was the last word I whispered before falling asleep.
