โThis wasnโt what I had in mind when you said weโll
continue things at your house.โ Julesโs soft grumble was mu๏ฌed by my pillow.
I suppressed a laugh as I iced her shoulder with a towel- wrapped ice pack. โI never said what theย thingsย would be.โ
After Iย thoroughlyย apologized at her apartment, we took the train to my house before Stella came home. The minute we did, I had Jules lie down in my bed so I could tend to her injuries.
Sheโll fully heal in a few weeks, but the thought of her in any sort of pain, even if it was temporary, made my heart twist.
โIt was implied. I feel misled. Bamboozled. Falsely advertised to.โ Jules lifted her head to glare at me. โWhereโs my makeup s*x, Chen?โ
My laugh broke free. โWere your earlier orgasms not enough?โ
I skimmed my fingers up her neck to her face, where I pushed a strand of hair out of her eye. The entire train ride home, I couldnโt stop staring at her, afraid she would disappear if I looked away for two long.
Thereโd been every chance Jules wouldnโt forgive me for how I treated her, and I wouldnโt have blamed her if she hadnโt.
But thank the fucking Lord she had.
You fucked me, then you tossed me aside just like everyone else.
An ache pierced my chest at the memory of her words. God, I was such an ass.
โOral s*x isnโt the same.โ Julesโs words morphed into a soft sigh when I kissed her neck and gently stroked her wetness.
โYou want me inside you, Red?โ
A shudder rolled through her body. โYes.โ
My already-stiff cock hardened further at the breathy hope in her voice, but I held strong. โYou have a shoulder sprain, Jules, not to mention bruises all over. You could exacerbate your injuries.โ
She let out another, less pleasurable sigh. โThis is what I get for dating a doctor, isnโt it?โ
โHmm.โ The corner of my mouth tipped at her exasperation. โThere are benefits to dating a doctor, though. For exampleโฆโ I pushed one finger inside her while I kept my thumb on her clit. โIโmย veryย good with anatomy.โ
Julesโs grumble melted into a string of moans as she arched into my hand. I kissed my way down her chest and bare stomach, and her moan turned into a cry when I spread her open and delved in with my tongue. Stroking, sucking, licking. Worshiping her like it was penance and she was my salvation.
โJoshโฆIโm going toโฆโ Julesโs soft gasp arrowed straight into my heart. โInside me.ย Please. I want to come when youโre inside me.โ
I paused and groaned. My heart hammered so hard I felt it in every inch of my body, and my cock was close to exploding. โYouโre killing me, Red.โ
We shouldnโt. She was injured. They were mild injuries, but still. The smart thing would be to wait until she was fully healed.
But God help me, I couldnโt deny her anything when she was pleading like that.
Against my better judgment, I lifted my head and rose until we were eye level again.
โItโs going to be a little softer today, okay?โ I brushed another strand of hair out of her eyes.
Jules nodded with such enthusiasm I almost laughed again, but any humor died when I rolled on a condom and pushed inside her, inch by inch, until I filled her completely.
Her moan mingled with mine.
She felt so fucking good. Tight and wet and made for me, like she was the jigsaw puzzle Iโd been missing all my life.
My skin misted with sweat from the effort of holding back an orgasm, and I let out a soft warning growl when Jules tightened around me.
โCanโt help it.โ Her breaths came out in short pants. โYouโre too big.โ
Whenever we went even a few days without s*x, she had to adjust to my size all over again.
โAnd you take every inch beautifully.โ I pulled out, then slid back in with a slow, smooth glide. Jules squirmed a little, but her muscles gradually relaxed, and pride lit my chest. โThatโs it. Just like that. Youโre doing so well.โ
Julesโs face flushed with pleasure. โJoshโฆโ
โYour pussy was made for me, Red. Every part of you, made for me.โ My own breaths harshened as I increased the pace. The sensual, languorous rhythm was a one eighty from our usual rough, furious fucking, but in a way, it was even hotter.
I could savor every glide of my cock into her and every one of her whimpers and moans as I fucked away every bad memory from our last time together.
โDonโt hold back,โ I growled when her teeth sank into her bottom lip. I could tell from the tenseness of her
muscles that she was about to come. โI want to hear your sweet screams.โ
I reached down to rub her clit, pressing with just enough pressure to tip her over the edge while I picked up the pace. A cry of pleasure ripped from Julesโs throat. Her back arched, and I grunted at the sensation of her tight pussy walls pulsing around me.
My chest expanded at the sight of her like thisโ completely undone and so beautiful I couldnโt look away if my life depended on it.
โThatโs it.โ I rubbed my thumb over her cheek and leaned down to kiss her. Hard. โGood girl,โ I whispered. โI love hearing you scream for me.โ
Julesโs whimpers shot straight to my cock, and it didnโt take long before I came with a loud groan.
I rolled off her, not wanting to jostle her shoulder, and we lay there in contented silence until we caught our breath.
S*x was great, but this part? The one where we basked in the glow and each otherโs presence? It was even better.
I turned on my side and wrapped an arm around Julesโs waist, drawing her closer. I never gave a fuck about cuddling before her, but I loved having her in my arms. It just feltโฆright.
โHowโs your shoulder?โ
โStill attached.โ Jules laughed at my scowl. โItโsย fine.
See? We had s*x, and I didnโt die.โ
โNot funny.โ I didnโt even want to joke about her dying. โIโm checking your shoulder again later, just in case.โ
โYes, Dr. Chen,โ she teased. โDo you offer these kinds of hands-on checkups to everybody, or am I special?โ
โI only offer them to my most stubborn, infuriating, pain in the ass patients. The ones I canโt stop thinking about. Luckilyโฆโ I smoothed my palm over the curve of her ass. โI only have one of those.โ
Julesโs breath hitched. โLucky me.โ
โLucky you,โ I drawled, a cocky smile forming on my lips.
โArrogant ass.โ She laughed before her face turned serious. โDo you still have the painting? Maxโs associates will come looking for it, and I donโtโโ
โI took care of it.โ โHow?โ
โYouโll see.โ
She winkled her nose. โCryptic much?โ โItโs a surprise, Red. Youโll see,โ I repeated.
Jules huffed and dropped the subject, but I could tell she was intrigued. Nothing piqued her interest like a surprise.
Now, all I had to do was figure out how to reveal itโฆย afterย I figured out how to retrieve those musical tickets I destroyed last week. I could fold both things into one.
I grazed my knuckles over her back in lazy strokes, content just to listen to her breathe, while she yawned and buried her face in my chest. Now that the high from s*x was wearing off, exhaustion lined her face and shadowed her eyes.
โWeโre going to have to tell Ava, you know,โ she mumbled. โEventually. Someday.โ
โDonโt remind me.โ I grimaced at the thought of Avaโs reaction. โHow long do you think we should wait? A year? A decade?โ
โA decade, or maybe a century. A century sounds good.
Sheโll be soโฆโ Julesโs voice slowly drifted off.
I peeked down at her. Out cold, just like that.
Between what happened with Max, her bar exam, and our makeup, she must be worn out.
I kissed the top of her head and tucked her closer to me. We could worry about Ava later.
For now, I wanted to enjoy the moments that belonged only to us.
