Alex lay there, hard and aching. He knew if he reached out and pulled her close, she would easily succumb to him. But he didn’t want to coerce her. He wanted her to come to him willingly. If that meant he needed to take a few cold showers while he waited then that’s what he’d do. He finally drifted into a restless sleep.
Alex woke up with Jessica pressed up against him. He was lying on his back with her facing him. Her leg was wrapped over both of his and her arm was around his lower stomach. Her head was resting on his shoulder, placing her mouth mere inches away from his own.
He glanced at the clock, noticing it was midnight. They’d been in bed only a couple of hours. She must’ve drifted over to him in her sleep. He was too tired and far too turned on to play the gentleman.
She started to stir and wiggled against him, causing his body to physically jerk in the air. He could feel himself begin to pulse. He wanted to bury himself deep inside of her and damn the consequences.
He turned so they were facing each other and his hands started roaming over her body. She pushed into him, letting out a moan of pleasure, starting to wake up. Her leg was still wrapped over him, though when he turned it caused his erection to be centered on her core. Only a wisp of fabric separating the two of them.
He ran his tongue over her bottom lip and her eyes parted slightly, at the same time another moan escaped her lips. He then gripped the back of her head and kissed her passionately. She woke up fully and kissed him back just as urgently.
His hands began to explore her once again and he stopped the kiss long enough to pull her nightgown over her head. He then resumed the kiss, pulling her so tightly against him, not a wisp of air could’ve gotten through. Her hips were moving against his erection and he was afraid their lovemaking would end far too soon.
He flipped her onto her back and moved his mouth down to her full br**sts. She arched her back as his tongue ran over her budded nipple. He licked and caressed the fullness of her br**sts, making her jerk upward, seeking more. He wanted to give them far more attention but was conscious of her nursing and knew too much play would cause problems. Instead he ran his tongue down the center of them and then nibbled his way across her stomach.
She was pleading with him to take her. He was close to doing just that but he would make sure their time together was good for her too. The only other time they’d made love, in the elevator, had ended far too quickly.
He ripped the last barrier between them away from her body and then his mouth was kissing her in the most intimate way possible. She jerked her hips in the air as pleasure washed over her. “Alex please…” she cried out.
He couldn’t take any more, as he quickly shed his own shorts and then poised over her. “You’re so beautiful,” he gasped, as he looked down into her flushed face.
He thrust his tongue into her mouth at the same time he finally gave them both what they wanted and submerged his engorged shaft deep within her folds. She jerked her hips upward, wanting him even deeper. He gladly obliged her unspoken request.
He could no longer hold anything back. He pushed into her fast and she matched him thrust for thrust. She was panting and then suddenly cried out. He felt her pulsing around him and he lost all control. He pushed in one final time and then spilled deep inside of her.
With his last ounce of energy he turned onto his back, while pulling her up close to his side. He wasn’t letting her pull away from him again. He’d broken his rule of making the first move but she hadn’t offered any form of resistance and they weren’t taking steps back.
Neither of them said anything but after their breathing returned to normal, he felt her trying to pull away. He just tightened his arms around her. “Go back to sleep Jessica,” he commanded. She gave up the fight soon drifting off. He quickly followed her.
Chapter five
Jessica woke up and turned over. Ouch! She was sore. She sat up, realizing she was alone in the very large bed. Her hands flew to her face as she replayed the previous night in her mind. She and Alex had made love, not only once but twice. The first time, when she’d woken up plastered against him and the second time, after feeding Jacob and laying back down.
There’d been no hesitation on her part. He’d reached for her and she’d fallen instantly into his arms. How was she supposed to keep her distance from the man when the second he touched her she melted? She was relieved and saddened at the same time to find herself alone.
She quickly got up and checked on Jacob, who fortunately was still sleeping. She had time to shower and work out her stiff muscles. She hadn’t done anything that physical in too long to remember.
She finally dressed, gathered Jacob and headed down the stairs. “Good morning, Mrs. Anderson. I hope you slept well,” Tina greeted her.
“I did. Thank you,” she automatically replied.
“Mr. Anderson asked me to tell you he had to run into the office today and would be gone all afternoon. He said the new nanny would arrive around eight,” she said, before placing Jessica’s breakfast before her.
“Thank you.”
Jessica fed Jacob while eating her own breakfast, then settled down in the den to wait for Julia, her new nanny.
Julia arrived early and got her room organized in no time. Jessica, Julia and Jacob spent the day together around the house. Jessica couldn’t find any faults with Julia and had to admit it was very nice to have an extra pair of hands to help with the baby. She eventually even went to spend some time in the garden, without fear of not hearing Jacob.
Jessica decided if her marriage ended up not working she was going to keep Julia with her. She was enjoying the help and could see Julia loved children.
As Jessica sat in the garden, she tried to figure out how she really felt about her husband. They did enjoy each other’s company, she was definitely attracted to him and they shared a child together. He was unlike any man she’d ever known before. She would have to do some real soul searching, because she was terrified to let her guard down and let him in.
Jessica didn’t know how long she sat in the garden daydreaming but soon Julia was walking towards her with a fussy Jacob in her arms. “Your son’s ready for his lunch,” Julia said with a smile.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize how long I’d been sitting out here,” Jessica quickly said. She immediately got up and headed towards Julia and her son.
“You deserve some time to yourself. Don’t feel guilty for enjoying a few moments of peace in an otherwise hectic day,” Julia chastised her gently. “Your son can wait long enough for you to clean up,” she added.
