Page 88 of Couple Goals

He grabs his wallet from his trousers, and, because he doesn’t seem to be fast enough for how much she wants this right now, she grabs it from him, pulling out the condom she knows is there because she teasingly replaced the last one. Jacob watches her as she rips open the packet, pinching the tip and then, meeting Jacob’s eyes, rolls the condom down over his long shaft.

He closes his eyes in the pleasure of feeling her hands on him. And then he’s kissing her, and lifting her from the counter, carrying her to his bedroom. She’s still seeing stars when she finds herself on his bed, pulling him to her, lying back as she guides his cock into her. She wants him all, but he holds back, still teasing her even now to not give her everything she wants straight away, starting with just the tip, until even he seems unable to resist more, and more, and more, until he’s gripping the headboard to thrust deep inside her and they’re both crying out.

‘Oh fuck–’ he gasps. ‘That feels so– that’s too– shit you’re so fucking good, I’m not going to be able to keep doing that for much longer–’

‘I want you to,’ she commands. She grips his shoulders, pulling him into her, feeling him fill her up. ‘Please, come for me.’

With a shuddering gasp, he obeys.

His glistening body becomes heavy and she guides him, both panting, down onto the pillows. Their bodies entangle together,and she kisses his stubbled cheek as he wraps his arms around her, settling into her favourite position.

After, he gets up and gets them both water.

‘Nice bum,’ she calls after him. He salutes.

She raises an eyebrow on his return. ‘Even better from the front,’ she laughs. He shakes his head as she openly oogles him, then returns back into the bed to cuddle up to her.

‘You’ve already had your wicked way with me,’ he says. ‘I thought you had some kind of “no repeats rule”?’

They chuckle together, and Adriana kisses him, then lies her head on his chest, nuzzling as close as she can.

‘You know, about what your parents asked,’ says Jacob, stroking her hair. ‘About what my intentions are with you?’

‘Oh God, please don’t worry about that,’ Adriana buries her cheeks into his chest. ‘They just think they’re funny.’

‘Well…’ says Jacob. ‘I just wanted to say… I don’t know where your set of dating rules stand on having a boyfriend…’

Adriana looks up at him.

‘You know I have never been very good at seeing dating you as something casual,’ he tells her. ‘But I just wanted to be explicit. I’m in no rush, but whenever – or,if-ever you want I’d love to be your boyfriend.’

‘Jacob,’ Adriana sits up. ‘I would love to officially throw all of my old rules out the window for you. I wouldloveto be your girlfriend.’

They kiss, softly and tenderly, and Adriana decides that she rather likes being serious after all. Then she giggles suddenly.

‘I can’t believe I just kissed myboyfriend,’ she pokes his chest.

‘What has happened to you?’ Jacob teases.

She leans in to kiss him again and again.

Chapter 30Maeve

On Thurday, when Maeve’s doorbell goes, she instinctively wants to skip down the stairs to see Kira, but instead she has to manoeuvre herself down to avoid putting weight on her ankle.

There is Kira, changed out of her training kit, looking impossibly hot in a white vest under a brown leather jacket, sunglasses resting on her hair. She’s holding a delicate bouquet of irises, tied in paper.

Maeve breathes in their scent. ‘But what’s the occasion?’

‘Just excited to spend the evening with you,’ shrugs Kira.

Maeve closes the door, and kisses Kira against it.

Up in her flat, Maeve has kept all the overhead lights off (obviously), but has lit plenty of tall and sweet-smelling candles carefully in pastel-coloured holders. She’s also movedsomeof the cow themed items from the living room to her bedroom cupboard. Adriana would understand it’s not the vibe right now.

Maeve puts the flowers into a vase, humming, and places them at the centre of the small table she’s already set, with olives and bread with oil.

‘Sit! Sit!’
