Ajax:

As she slept in my arms, I thought about Talbot. He’d been insane. There was no other word for it. He was one hundred percent obsessed with Jessica. No way in hell I’d let her out of my sight now. If he got a chance to get to her again, there was no telling what he might do to her.

I hugged her tight. Her soft curves fit perfectly against my hard body. Her faint, floral scent teased my nose. God, did I want to kiss her all over and see if she smelled like this everywhere. I wanted to know what she tasted like. I knew her mouth was an addiction. I wanted to see if her skin and especially her pussy were the same.

I spent a lot of time at night thinking about what she’d taste like and feel like when I had my cock buried in that sweet pussy of hers. I knew she’d fit me like a glove. I just knew it. I shifted to ease the pressure on my growing erection. As she shifted in my arms, her ass pushed back into my crotch. I groaned. I wanted to sink into that too. I wanted to have her in every way possible, to spend hours worshipping her, hours of taking her over and over until neither of us could move.

The last few weeks had been agonizing, trying to regain that little bit of ground I’d made with her before it all went to hell. The desire to make her mine had only grown. I didn’t want to scare her or push her too far too fast, but I needed her. I needed her to see and understand she was mine. That I wanted to be the one to protect her, love her, and worship her for the rest of her life.

This desire grew in me daily. I now knew what my married brothers felt when they looked or thought about their wives. I didn’t just want Jessica as my old lady. I wanted her as my wife and the mother of my kids. Yeah, kids. I wanted them badly, and I didn’t want to wait either. The idea of planting my seed in her and watching her carry my child had me getting even harder. I groaned again and pressed my cock into her ass. I knew the moment she woke up and realized what was pressing into her. She stiffened. I leaned down and kissed her behind her ear then nipped the lobe with my teeth.

“Baby, roll over.” She hesitated before she rolled onto her back and looked up at me. I cupped her jaw in one hand and lowered my mouth to hers. I had to taste her. At first, she didn’t do anything. I waited and lightly kissed and nipped at her lips. Finally, she sighed and opened her mouth. I jumped to take it.

I thrust my tongue inside and tangled it with hers. Joy raced through me when she tentatively thrust her tongue back. As I kissed her, my hand ran up and down her ribs. I wanted her to get used to my touch. As she sank deeper into our kiss, I cupped her left breast in my hand. Through her bra I could feel her hard nipple. She jerked. I pulled back. Her eyes were heated but she looked unsure and maybe a little scared. I didn’t want her scared, not ever.

“Relax, baby. If you don’t want me to touch you, I’ll stop,” I told her, even though I knew if she told me to stop, I might die. She didn’t say anything for a minute or so. I kept my hand on her breast but didn’t move it.

“Why?” she asked me.

“Why what?”

“Why are you doing this? I don’t understand. You’re kissing me and touching me. Why?” she asked, while looking at me in confusion.

I shook my head in amazement. She still didn’t get it. “Baby, I’m doing this because I want you. Hell, I want you more than you can imagine.”

“Ajax, I’m sorry, but I don’t do this. I don’t hook up. I’m sorry if you got that impression. I—” I stopped her with another kiss. When I thought it was enough, I broke away.

“This isn’t for a hookup. I don’t want a hookup.” She tried to edge away and averted her eyes. I tightened my arm to stop her.

“I’ve been trying to tell you and show you for weeks how much I want to be with you, Jessica. It’s not for a night or two. I want more. I want you to be mine, babe.” She gave me a stunned look and shook her head slowly as her eyes widened in shock.

“You can’t be serious, Ajax. A guy like you doesn’t go for a woman like me. You can have anyone you want, as many women as you want. I know what club life is like for you guys. You can have women like Daisy any time. There’s nothing about me to attract a man like you, especially not for anything long term.”

I looked at her in shock. She had to be fucking kidding me. Yeah, I could get pussy anywhere, but she really thought she wasn’t attractive enough to get a guy? What the hell?

“Bullshit! I don’t know where you got the idea you’re not attractive. You’re beautiful, my nymph. So damn beautiful it makes me crazy to see how men react to you. I’ve wanted you since the first day I saw you at the bakery. Please, all I want is for you to give me a chance. Let me show you how gorgeous you are. Let me in, Jessica.” She lay there and looked at me in wonder. After a few torturous minutes, she gave me a shy smile.

“Okay, Ajax, I’ll try. If you’re sure you want this.” My answer was the kiss I gave her. We spent a long time just kissing and caressing. I did most of the touching since she seemed to be unsure. Though it almost killed me not to push for more, I kept it to touching outside her clothes and kissing. I wasn’t going to ruin my chance with her again. I’d go slow if that’s what she needed. It looked like my hand was going to get a lot more action.

It was late when she fell back to sleep. I curled around her and let the sandman take me under. I was content to lie here with my woman in my arms.
