"I love food," Fleur confessed. "I think it started when I was in college, and I had this phase when I ended up stress-eating during finals. I've managed to work that out of my system thank God, but food is still my biggest guilty pleasure, and I just can't help—-" She stopped speaking when Julian suddenly threw his head back with a laugh.
Julian needed an extra moment to get his control back. "I'm sorry," he said with a shake of his head. "I wasn't staring at you because of how much you were eating. I love watching you eat—-"
Fleur looked at him dubiously, and Julian smiled. "You'll see, milaya."
"Then why were you staring—-"
"Because you seem too perfect to be true."
Julian said it so simply, Fleur couldn't find any reason to doubt him, but at the same time...
Perfect?
The idea that he'd think she was perfect made her panic just a bit, and Fleur suddenly felt like someone had walked over her grave. "I'm flattered you think I'm perfect, but—-" She could no longer speak, with Julian having already crossed the length of the room to take her mouth in another hard and deep kiss. Fleur had this feeling she had just missed telling Julian something important, but when his large hands cupped her tits and started kneading them in that sweetly forceful way only Julian could do...
Whatever it was, it probably wasn't that important, and besides...
It was just the first night of December, but Operation Yuletide 2.0 had already completed Level 1: Make Julian realize I'm special, woot, woot!
Chapter Ten
Fleur woke the next day telling herself that she would not be disappointed if the other half of the bed proved empty again. Men like her brothers and Julian tended to suffer from multiple cases of cold feet while still sorting out their feelings, and so...
She carefully turned to her side, and without opening her eyes, she slowly reached out...and all at once had her fingers nipped not-so-gently.
"Ouch!" Her eyes flew open immediately, and she saw a bare-chested Julian lying on his side, head propped up with one hand, and the sheets draped so low on his hips that all it would take was this really little push (maybe just a few millimeters' worth?), and she would finally see a delicious little peek of what she had only felt but never seen in the past two nights.
Just a little, little—-
Julian tipped her chin up, and his gaze met hers knowingly. "Eyes up, little flower."
"Don't wanna."
He had expected her to play innocent or coy, but he should've known better than to think Fleur would do anything predictable, and Julian ended up chuckling even as he once again had to gently but firmly lift her eyes back to his.
"Why are you being so selfish?" she demanded half-seriously.
Julian considered her for a moment, and then he said evenly, "I have never done period sex, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try with you—-"
Fleur could only gulp when she realized what he was saying.
"—-and that's definitely what would happen the moment I see you looking at my cock." Julian then raised a brow, drawling, "So you tell me, milaya. Do I let you look at my cock?"
There were times in one's life when one had to do what one had to do, and in this case Fleur freely admitted to being a coward with a slow shake of her head.
Julian's lips curved back in a smirk. "I thought so."
Fleur carefully turned over to lie flat on her stomach. Cramps tended to be easier to handle in this position, and where period pains were concerned, prevention was always better than a cure.
"I need a distraction," she declared, "to stop myself from thinking how big your cock is."
Julian groaned, and she looked at him with an impish smile. "Oops?"
"Just try doing that again," he warned, "and my big cock will make both of your holes bleed."
It was her turn to gulp, and his turn to smirk as he asked, "So you were saying?"
Fleur cleared her throat. "I've thought of another form of distraction."
He eyed her skeptically. "Like?"
"How did you find out I was in Paradijs last night?"
"If I tell you, I'll have to kill you."
Fleur snorted.
"Next question?"
"Not so fast." She looked at him calculatingly. "Since you're very much like my brothers, I'm guessing you have someone from Paradijs feeding you info?"
The chagrined expression on Julian's devilishly handsome face made Fleur laugh.
"I knew it," Fleur crowed.
"Stop comparing me to your brothers," Julian grumbled.
"I can't help it. You're all awfully alike. But don't worry, I have other questions that—-"
Alarmed at having to answer more questions, Julian made a show of studying her lips and said thoughtfully, "I've just realized..."
Fleur was distracted by the way he was staring at her mouth.
"Having you stare at my cock might be too much for my control to handle, but kisses, though..." He didn't have to say anything else, with a suddenly-energetic Fleur already rolling him to his back and raining his face with kisses.
