Their bodies melded together, and she felt him stiffen against her stomach.
“You’re ready already?” she asked eagerly.
She was surprised but excited. It wasn’t like Jack was always a one-and-done kind of guy. But already? Without even a break?
“Love, I’ve been missing out on this for years. I have a lot of catching up to do.”
And so, they savored each other’s bodies and the reuniting of their love.
Jack rolled Lexi over, on top of him, and she laid her chest across his body, feeling heated skin against skin. His hands moved up into her hair and tugged it as teasingly as she had. It was bliss.
She might have been on top, but when he moved up into her, there was no question that they were sharing control over the situation. She temptingly circled her hips in figure eights around him, causing him to groan, and his grip on her hair tightened.
Not able to take her teasing anymore, his hand landed heavy on her ass, and he started working her hips up and down on him until she felt herself losing control again. She couldn’t slow down or stop what was beating through her body, and if they kept up this pace, then she was going to lose it sooner rather than later.
Jack saw it in her eyes, and the smirk on his face told her that there was no way he was going to keep her from the orgasm about to rocket through her body.
“Oh f**k,” she said, burying her face in his chest, as she came unhinged all around him.
He waited for her to finish before rolling her onto her back and burying himself into her once more. He hoisted one of her legs up onto his shoulders, leveraging her body to get deeper.
“God, my little gymnast’s body,” he murmured into her ear.
She smiled through her satiated haze as he pumped faster and faster, bringing her blissfully to the brink again. She couldn’t believe that she was already there, but with the way he was pushing, she knew that she wasn’t the only one. They came together a second time, soaring far, far away and crashing back down into each other.
Lexi closed her eyes, letting the moment wash over her.
She let her breathing even out. “I thought you were going to take your time.”
“Are you complaining?”
“Definitely not.”
“Good. I’ll take it slow for round three,” he said, pushing her hair back out of her face.
“I might not be awake for that,” she said groggily.
“I’ll wake your body up,” he whispered seductively.
“You always do.”
She could feel herself slipping into a sex coma of record proportions. All of the exhaustion and anxiety had been wiped away and had been replaced by this incredible peace. And she knew she could sleep away the next couple of days, wrapped in Jack’s comforting arms.
“Hey,” he whispered, brushing his nose against hers.
“Mmm…”
“I love you.”
Lexi smiled and opened her eyes to stare up into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. “I love you, too.”
“I still can’t believe you’re here,” he admitted.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“I didn’t think you were going to be coming back.”
She trailed her hand down the side of his face and gave him a soft kiss on the mouth. “I can’t live without you. It was you. It was always you.”
“I’m going to spend every day of my life proving you right,” he told her.
His eyes were completely serious, and she believed him. They had been through too much for him to start lying to her now. He loved her, and he wasn’t going to give her up again.
After a short break, they indulged themselves in the feel of each other again before sleep captured them.
She didn’t know how long she had been out when she heard a banging coming from somewhere far off. She thought that she was dreaming for a second, and the disorientation of what had happened and where she was didn’t help anything. Then, it all came rushing back to her. She had broken off her engagement with Ramsey, then slept with Jack…and now, she was wrapped in Jack’s sheets.
Yawning wide, she rolled over and saw him sleeping peacefully next to her—his hair a mess, his eyes closed, his body rising and falling softly with his steady breaths. For a second, she didn’t know if she had overslept and was going to be late for work, but with one glance at the digital clock across the room, she knew that it was only seven o’clock—a full hour and a half before she had to be into work.
Then, the banging started again. This time, she was sure she hadn’t imagined it, and it definitely wasn’t a dream.
“Jack,” she murmured, rocking his shoulder, “wake up. I think someone’s at the door.”
“Hmm?” he asked as she slowly pulled him out of his slumber. He slung an arm around her waist and pulled her into him. “You smell like me.”
Lexi giggled. “I wonder why that is.”
“I had a dream that you came home to me, and we had sex all night.” He still hadn’t opened his eyes.
“That wasn’t a dream,” she said, pressing her lips to his lightly.
“Mmm,” he groaned. “Another round in the morning? Fuck, I love you.”
Lexi laughed aloud that time. “I love you, too. Maybe another round after you answer the door…if you’re lucky.”
“I have you, Lex,” he said, opening his eyes. The crystal-clear orbs stared wide-eyed up at her. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”
Lexi sighed softly while she looked down at Jack. He smiled lazily up at her before cupping her face and pulling it down to meet his lips. She laughed as the banging started again and then pulled away.
“Go answer the door. Jesus,” Lexi said.
“All right. All right,” Jack said, rolling out of bed, completely nude.
She admired his gorgeous backside as he searched around for his boxers, shorts, and a discarded T-shirt that he hadn’t even bothered with last night.
“Don’t go anywhere. I want to think about you lying around naked in my bed.”
She laughed again, but he waited for her to nod before walking out of the door and down the hallway.
“Coming!” she heard Jack yell.
The banging on the door finally ceased.
Lexi stretched her arms up over her head as she waited patiently for Jack to return and ravish her body. She heard the door open, and soft voices echoed down the hall toward her. She hoped Jack would just tell whoever was there to get lost, so he could come back to her. She would give him a couple of minutes, and then if the person wasn’t gone, she would be happy to help him get rid of whoever it was.
