He couldn’t think. All he could do was focus on the building ache in his balls as she continued to take him just as she wanted. His fingers closed hard on her nipples as lightning shot down his spine and he cried out at the first burst of cum filling the condom.
“Yes!” she hissed in a shout, her head falling back as one of her hands moved between her thighs.
Jesse’s mind blanked as her pussy contracted around him, drawing out more of his cum. She continued to move, making everything more intense, and his mind faded away.
His body was limp and sticky when he blinked his eyes open, and he really did feel cum sliding down between his butt cheeks.
Julia was kneeling over him still, her expression smug as she stared down with those dark, sexy eyes. He smiled back up at her, not yet able to piece together his leaked-out thoughts.
A chuckle slipped from her lips. “I made a delicious mess of you.” She rose until their bodies separated, his still covered dick slipping free as she stood on the mattress before hopping down. She turned, lowering her mouth to kiss him with a sweet press of lips that only made the thumping of his heart worse.
“Take your time. Once you get your breath back, I’ll let you change the sheets.” There was a saunter to her hips as she crossed to the bathroom, one that he couldn’t help but appreciate.
It was blissful to be thought free, and he let himself relax into that state until his breath slowed. When his legs worked, he couldn’t help but blush at the evidence of what they’d done, not surprised at all when Julia returned to help him strip the bed, though she let him carry the sheets to the washer like he wanted. His legs were still numb when he returned, and she shooed him toward the shower. He paused in the doorway, and his throat tightened. Her smile looked so peaceful as she hummed to herself while remaking the bed.
Chapter 26
Phoebe was late again, but Julia expected that. She sipped her decaf coffee, heavy on the cream with a shot of caramel. At least the coffee shop near the hospital had decaf, unlike the fancy new one she’d taken Jinx to. She hadn’t indulged in one for a while, worried she’d crave the real thing, but it was nice to sink back into the couch and enjoy the familiar flavor.
She’d arrived early, so she’d already been sitting there for half an hour. If Phoebe took too long, Julia really would ditch her friend for her boyfriend. The term still felt funny. Julia had a boyfriend, and she was waiting for him to get off work.
Jinx had a half shift on Saturdays, and she’d suggested picking him up from there so they could spend the afternoon together. Meeting up with Phoebe near the hospital would tie in perfectly if her friend ever arrived. If she didn’t, Julia would merge some cute dragons and chill until Jinx got off work. She scrolled through the levels—she’d already beaten them all—looking for one that was quick.
“Sorry, sorry, I’m here!” Phoebe said, sinking onto the couch next to her.
Julia pressed the button to make her phone go dark, looking up with a smile. “Hectic day?”
Phoebe shrugged, squirming a little. “Not really,” she admitted. “Kyle tried to shoo me out early, but it’s still hard to leave them. I guess it’s silly for me to miss them when I’m with them twenty-four seven.”
“It’s not silly. You love your kids, and wanting to be around them is great, but I’m glad you called. We haven’t hung out in a while.” Julia leaned forward, grabbing the cup she’d ordered for her friend. “I got you hot chocolate. It should have cooled enough to not scald your mouth by now.”
“Ooh, gimme,” Phoebe said with a grin, taking the cup and taking a big sip. She hummed at the flavor. “That’s good. Perfectly lukewarm. Thanks.”
The last of Julia’s tension eased at the happiness on her friend’s face, and she turned into the corner of the couch so she could face her. “Thanks for meeting me here. I know coffee isn’t your thing.”
“I get it. You and Jinx are still in the honeymoon phase of dating.” Phoebe winked at her. “I miss those moments sometimes, but every time I do, Kyle surprises me by leaving work early or coming home for lunch unexpectedly.” She wrapped her hands around the warm mug, staring down into the milky brown liquid that used to have marshmallows. “I really am lucky to have him.”
“Yeah, you are.” Julia accepted the scowl that followed. “You sound better.”
“Kyle sat me down for a talk. He has a way of cutting through my bullshit without pissing me off. I’m going to try to let go a little. Take the alone time he’s been offering, even if it is just me sitting in my car alone and listening to an audiobook orsomething. Don’t worry, I won’t expect you to meet up with me all the time.”
“I’m not worried.” Julia could say no to her friend when she needed to. Whether Phoebe took it well was a mixed bag. “That sounds good for you, Feebs. I hope it helps and you end up enjoying the alone time.”
“I’m sure I will eventually.” Phoebe bit her lip. “It’s just, Kyle is looking forward to getting alone time with the kids, and you know me. I’m jealous.”
Julia lifted an eyebrow. “Of the kids or of Kyle?”
“Oh, of the kids, for sure. Kyle will figure out soon enough it’s not all baby smiles and cute giggles. More often, it’s blown diapers and smooshed crackers in my hair.” Phoebe’s smile softened. “I could never regret it, though. I love being a mom.”
“Good. ’Cause it’s not like you can put them back where they came from.” Julia snorted at her friend’s outraged expression.
Phoebe couldn’t hold it, already starting to laugh. “Where would that be, exactly? Up my cooch?”
Julia laughed with her friend. The sound was familiar, and she realized she’d missed it. When they wound down, she wiped at her eyes. “We should stop while we’re ahead.”
“Probably. I know babies aren’t your thing, even if you have offered to babysit.”
Julia shrugged. “As long as I can give them back, spending time with them isn’t so bad. They’re more fun when they’re older, though, like Rachel’s kids. Jinx and I offered to babysit them together next weekend.”
