CHAPTER 23
A Gentle Hand
Nyla
I can feel the nerves coming off Jace. I’m just as nervous as he is. Once we do this, there’s no turning back. I’m terrified of losing him and Gio.
However, I feel like we need to try. He holds my hand in his as he leads me upstairs to his room. My mind goes to where Gio went to. I wonder if he’s okay.
We step into Jace’s room. Once inside, he closes the door behind me. It clicks softly, but I still nearly jump out of my skin.
“We don’t have to do this,” he murmurs, his accent showing through again.
I smile up at him and lift on my toes to kiss him. He kisses me back with a different kind of passion from Gio. It’s possessive, while still gentle. I lock my hands in his hair and the first thing to stand out to me is the lack of hair product that Gio’s has.
He breaks the kiss and searches my eyes. I give him a smile. He brushes his finger across my cheekbone.
“I can put on some music if you want.”
“What do you have?”
“My CDs are over there.” He points to the CD case on his desk.
I move to the desk and pick it up. Once I have it unzipped, I browse through the discs. I find Total’s first album and put it into the CD player on his desk. I skip through to the song I want and “Don’t Ever Change” starts to play.
I feel his body heat as he steps up behind me. He palms my breasts over my dress as he starts to kiss my neck. Gently, he sucks the skin on my neck into his mouth as he pinches my nipples. I turn my face up and he takes my lips.
I whimper into the kiss, reaching to fist his hair. I’m so lost in his kiss; I cry out when he slips his fingers into me after lifting my dress and pushing my panties aside. He groans as I soak his fingers.
Placing his forehead to mine, he continues to work my pussy with his long fingers. I lift my dress and pull it over my head. Turning to face him, I drop the dress to the floor. He palms my ass and lifts me onto his waist, then moves to the bed.
He kisses me sweetly as he lowers me onto the mattress. Pulling his shirt over his head, he drops it to the floor and pulls the band from his wrist to pull his hair up in a bun on top of his head. Then he works to get his pants off. I scoot up the bed but freeze the moment he drops his pants and underwear.
I don’t know what I expected. I thought Gio was a one-off…but damn. Jace is giving him a run for his money. They’re both big and long with plenty of girth.
He strokes himself as he places a knee on the bed. I reach out for him to give me his other hand and tug him to me. His big body covers mine and I cradle him between my legs.
“I love you, Nyla,” he whispers in my ear. “I’ve loved you all my life.”
Before I can reply, he kisses me. His big hands are everywhere. He’s not as rough as Gio can be. It’s different in a nice way. Jace takes his time to kiss his way down my body with open-mouthed kisses. Then peels my panties from my body.
When he settles between my legs, he starts to feast on me like I’m some delicate flower. This is new. I love the way Gio devours me, but this has a nice pace to it.
He bobs his head into me as if he’s enjoying every moment. My climax starts to build slowly. His beard is a bit of a shock. I like the way it brushes my skin. It’s like an added sensation.
I bow off the mattress as I lock my legs around his head, crying out his name. Jace moves back up my body and links our fingers together as he holds my gaze and slides inside me. He catches my gasp in his mouth as he rocks gently into me.
There’s a different type of passion coming from him. I’m taken someplace I’ve never been before. It dawns on me that he’s making love to me.
I’ve only ever been fucked and wouldn’t have known the difference until now. I stare up at the ceiling as he works his hips into me and groans in my ear. I bite my lip as tears fill my eyes.
“Are you okay? Do you want to stop?”
“No, I’m fine. Please keep going.”
I look into his eyes and see they’re green. I smile and cup his face, bringing his lips to mine. He runs one hand up my side and palms my breast, squeezing and kneading it in his big hand.
