He kissed my jaw and then my neck, and I bit my lips to keep from moaning. He sucked on a nice region at the base of my neck, and I couldn’t help but groan.
“Tell me to stop,” he said hoarsely as he moved his lips over mine.
“No.”
He kissed me hard on the lips, his hands moving over my body, and then he pulled away and whispered, “You have no idea what you’re saying.”
“I want you, Jaxon,” I whispered with a sigh.
He said in a husky voice while biting my earlobe, “I want you too, Clara.”
I didn’t think twice before he brought me to a whole new level of bliss as we consummated our marriage, and he loved my body in ways I could never have imagined.
I slowly opened my eyes, and every muscle in my body hurt. Jaxon was already awake and was tracing my face with his finger like he had done before.
When he saw me wake up, he buried his head in the crook of my neck and started kissing it softly.
He murmured in my ear, “How are you?”
“Painful.”
He muttered gently, “Sorry.”
“It’s…okay…I don’t mind it,” I said, feeling a blush rise up my neck.
He grinned against my neck and said, “Of course you don’t mind it.” I became red.
“Oh shit!” I yelled out of nowhere. “We’re going to be late for work!”
He grinned quietly, “It’s Sunday.”
“Oh…”
He laughed again, pulled his head away from my neck, kissed the tip of my nose, and then got up and went into the restroom.
The next day…
I was delighted today because I was humming the tune “I Won’t Say I’m in Love” and spinning my chair around. I don’t know either.
I couldn’t stop thinking about Jaxon. He was on my mind all the time. I still remember everything he said to me that night. I can’t help but blush when I think about all that transpired.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice it was lunchtime until Jona and Kena came into my office.
“Someone looks very happy today,” Jona said with a sly smile at Kena.
Not again.
“Do you mind telling us why your face is glowing?” Kena questioned, and I turned red right away.
Kena responded, “You’re already blushing. What did we miss?”
I responded, “You didn’t miss anything, idiots.”
“Something definitely happened between you two,” Kena said as he walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
Jona moved closer and put his hand on my other shoulder. They were both staring at me so suspiciously that I flushed crimson.
Jona remarked, “You better tell us, or we’ll start making our own guesses.”
“Why don’t you all go bother Jaxon like you bother me? I’m sure he’ll tell you,” I remarked.
Kena said, “What’s the point of asking Jaxon?”
I eventually uttered or murmured, “We consummated our marriage,” knowing that they wouldn’t leave me till I told them.
They both yelled, “What?!” so loudly that I’m sure Jaxon heard it.
“Go ahead and shout it on a loudspeaker, you idiots,” I said.
Kena responded, “We want the details!”
“Not in your dreams!”
“But what made you both do that?” Jona said.
“I’m not telling you anything! I’m going to lunch. Go ask Jaxon for the details; I’m sure he’ll tell you everything,” I said in a sarcastic tone.
“What details?” I heard Jaxon say all of a sudden.
Can I be more embarrassed?
Kena and Jona looked at me and then at Jaxon with a naughty look.
I asked Jaxon, “We’re going out for lunch. Do you want to come?” to change the subject.
He said, “I’ll be there in a minute,” and then he went back into his office. I sighed.
I glared at each of them and pushed them away.
I threw my vehicle keys to Jona, who caught them and shouted, “Go get my car; we’re coming.”
They both eventually departed after giving me one last glance. I walked into Jaxon’s office, and he turned to look at me while he was wearing his jacket.
“Let’s go,” he replied, putting his arm over my shoulder tightly.
“What were you all talking about?” he said as we got into the lift.
“They’re insane! Forget it.”
I flushed again when I thought about what we had talked about, and Jaxon seemed to notice because he replied, “I guess I know what you guys were talking about.”
I groaned and covered my face in the side of his chest, which made him chuckle. Hearing him laugh made my heart overflow with love.
Did I say I love you?
Oh, God…
It was the night before my birthday. I was delighted because I usually get thrilled about my birthday, even when I’m going to turn 28. But I told my family and friends that I might come back on this day, seven years later, and those seven years are up tomorrow.
But I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to see them.
Lastly, I’m happy, content, and at peace with my life because of Jaxon. He is everything I need, and I have him with me right now.
In the last month, our connection has gotten a lot better. We feel like a true couple today, and he treats me the way I always wanted to be treated. He cares for me, is lovely, and is kind-hearted. That’s all I want.
His friendship with Kena appears to become better every day. We eat lunch together virtually every day. Me, Jaxon, Kena, and Jona are all buddies.
But my insane buddies still won’t quit bothering me with their strange queries. The day I informed him we had s*x, they started asking me virtually every day if we had s*x again.
And to be honest, we did.
Back to the core issue: should I go back? But what will I do when I go back? Say, I’m sorry. No.
Jaxon told me to go back, but I didn’t want to.
Jaxon asked me, “What are you thinking about, sweetheart?” as he sat next to me on the bed.
“Nothing important…”
“Where were you?” I questioned him because he had just come into the bedroom.
“In the study.”
“Again, Jaxon, why do you work so much?”
He answered, “Because I want to be the richest person in the world,” with a lot of pride.
I said, “Stop being so ambitious. Aren’t you happy being the fourth richest person?”
“Not yet.”
“What do you want to do with all that money?”
“Everything in the world.”
“But you can’t buy love, happiness, or peace with that.”
He bent down and murmured in my ear, “I guess I already have all those things,” while running his finger over my cheeks.
His words made me melt.
He moved in closer and murmured against my lips, “You are my serenity, you are my pleasure, you are my… Clara, everything. I don’t need anything else if I have you with me. “
How can I not adore this guy?
He kissed me on the lips for a second and then walked away.
I quipped, “That was really cheesy,” which made him laugh quietly. “You make me say things I never thought I would say.”
I smiled and said, “You’re welcome.”
He kissed the tip of my nose and said, “I’m coming in a minute.”
I said, “Where are you going?” “
“Be patient, sweetheart,” he said, and then he left. I got up and sat cross-legged on the bed without saying a word.
He came back in a minute, exactly as he said he would, but this time, he brought a tray.
He came up to the bed, put the tray on it, and sat down next to me. There was a chocolate mug cake on the tray.
He kissed me lightly on the lips again, this time for a few more seconds. But before I could deepen the kiss, he drew away and said, “Happy Birthday, my beautiful wife.” Thanks for staying alive with me.
I practically lunged at him and grabbed him fiercely, throwing my arms around his neck as he held me closely with his arms.
“Thank you,” I said with a smile as I pulled back.
“You’re welcome,” he replied as he kissed my forehead.
I turned around and glanced at the tray and the cupcake.
