Exhausted was probably the word I was looking for, but I couldn’t make my brain say it out loud. Instead I just stood there as he turned around and walked straight back to me. Put those big hands of his around my face, and then he just looked at me.
“Thank you,” he whispered.
“For what?” I whispered back.
“For trusting me in this. We need this. You and me, because if we don’t try? We’ll never know whether this was something that was meant to be.”
“I don’t believe in all that,” I blurted out, crushing him in one foul blow.
He smiled at me.
“Julian,” he quietly hummed. “You have no idea how special you are, do you? You’re not someone’s quick fuck. You’re gorgeous, and kind, and you… You make me laugh. Even when you’re tired and grumpy. And the next thing out of your mouth is about to beBut you don’t know me?Am I right?”
He was. I think I nodded, too mesmerised by staring at his mouth. His eyes. The messy hair on his head. That stubble burning scars on my retina.
“I’m going to kiss you now, and then you probably need a nap. That’s what I know. And whilst you do that, I need to ring Maura and sort out a few work things. So sleep, Julian. Get all that grumpiness out of your system, and then I’ll wake you up with a glass of champagne later.”
“Will you now?” I huffed out. “Tea. That’s my usual morning beverage of choice. With oat milk. Dairy tends to mess with me.”
“Noted,” he said, like this was absolutely normal.
Then he kissed me. Right there and I was instantly swooshed back to a time when he’d done this before and then ripped my clothes off and fucked me into a coma.
I hadn’t come. He’d come far too fast. Massive red flags waving in the distance, yet here I still was, wanting him to do it again.
Just rip my trousers down and shove his big fat cock up my arse and make me see stars.
With added lube. A bit of foreplay. I wasn’t a masochist in real life, just inside my currently muddled brain.
“I’m going to fuck you so hard,” he whispered into my neck. “Get all these ugly clothes off and just keep you naked and thoroughly sated, for days on end. That sound like a plan?”
“I need to be able to work the flight home. Thoroughly fucked is not an option on the sickness form for this company.”
“Neither is it on mine. We’ll both be standing up by the time we go home, but for now, Julian? I need you horizontal.”
“So bossy,” I chirped.
“Only because you know I’m right.”
He wasn’t. Because I threw my aching arms around his neck and kissed him, and then he threw me onto the bed.
I guess sleeping would just have to wait.
Chapter Eight
Kieron
Ihad tried to be good. Make him feel comfortable with me before we went back to this place that yes, we were once again in.
Me ripping the threads away from his skin. Him trying to wrap his legs around my back and kiss me as I had to bend his arms from around my neck and get that goddamn shirt off his back.
He smelled of sweat and hard work. Iprobably stank even worse.
I’d hoped for a quick shower, and I still needed to make those calls. Sort things out at home so I didn’t have to feel so stressed. But he’d done this, and I hadn’t been strong enough to resist, so here we were, my lips sucking tiny bruises down his chest. A plump nipple in my mouth, hardening under my tongue. His neck bent back as I fumbled around, trying to reach everything at once. Patience wasn’t my forte here; I wanted inside of him. Wanted to return to feeling so perfectly whole, the way he’d made me feel last time. Wanted. Desired. Needed in a way I couldn’t explain.
I didn’t care where he’d been. How he’d got here or the small niggling fact that cleanliness and hygiene were a thing and perhaps I shouldn’t be sucking him off, but I couldn’t help myself. His cock was just perfectly smooth in my mouth, and the taste of him was intoxicating.
My Julian. His hips being held down as I swallowed him down. Deep down my throat, where I should have been choking but wasn’t. I’d always aimed to master a challenge. My training had shown results, and here I was. Sucking cock like a pro, making him twitch and shudder underneath me as I bobbed my head, slowly and in control.
