Jace

As we returned our skates, the laughter from the rink still echoed around us. Lexie’s cheeks were flushed from the wind, and I couldn’t help but admire how beautiful she looked, even with her hair slightly tousled. I swallowed hard.

“Hey, Lex,” I said, trying to sound casual as we walked side by side to my truck. “Would you like to come back to my place for a bit? I have something I’d like to show you.”

She turned to me, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. “What is it?”

“It’s a surprise,” I replied, not wanting to give too much away, and I silently cursed myself. I hoped she didn’t think it was some lame excuse to get her to come to my place.

“Okay, I’m intrigued,” she said with a huskiness that made my stomach flip. “Lead the way.”

As we drove back to my place, I could feel the anticipation building.

I was nervous about showing her the wine room as I currently called it—I didn’t want to name it without her.

What if she thought it was weird or creepy?

I had put a lot of thought into it, wanting it to be a space that celebrated Lexie, that showcased her strength and how important she was. But what if it was too much?

When we arrived, I saw Lexie look over the house in appreciation like she had the first time she stopped by.

I took her inside, the familiar warmth of my home wrapping around us, and I led her to the back of the house—a room that had been empty when I gave her a quick tour last time, so she never saw it.

“This isn’t your murder room, right?” she asked as we made our way back there.

“No…but it still might send you running.” I opened the door, and Lexie glanced around my shoulder as I turned on the light. “Welcome to your room.”

“What?” she gasped out, her eyes currently cataloging everything. The deep olive color of the walls, matched with deep mahogany shelves that had already started to house the wine collection I started for her.

She slipped past me, running her hands over everything, her eyes catching on the sitting area I was currently in the middle of crafting for her, but I wanted opinions on.

Currently, there were two overstuffed chairs, with a small table between them and the board game Clue.

I had thought it was funny, setting it up like an old-school detective might have, and had a feeling she would love it as well.

“This is…this is the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me,” Tears brimmed her eyes, and I rushed to her. “No, Starlight, no tears. I can’t stand them.”

“These are happy tears, I promise.” She waved my concerns away, and I reached out, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. At that moment, everything shifted. The playful atmosphere transformed into something charged. I leaned closer, breathing her air in.

“Lexie,” I murmured, my voice strained.

She looked up at me, her eyes darkening with desire. “What are you thinking?”

I didn’t answer. Instead, I closed the distance between us, capturing her lips with mine. The kiss was soft at first, a gentle exploration, but it quickly deepened as she responded, her hands finding their way to my shoulders.

I pulled Lexie close, my hands resting on her waist, feeling the heat radiate from her body. The kiss ignited a fire within me, and I couldn’t help but deepen it, my tongue sliding against hers as she melted against me.

Her fingers ended up tangled in my hair within seconds, pulling me closer still. I could feel her heart racing against my chest. I broke the kiss, breathing heavily, and looked into her eyes, searching for any hesitation. Instead, I saw nothing but desire and a small pout that I’d pulled away.

“Are you sure about this?” I asked, my voice a rough whisper.

Lexie nodded, unwavering, “Yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything.”

That was all I needed. I captured her lips again, this time with even more urgency. My hands roamed Lexie’s back, feeling the softness of her body against mine. Everything faded away, and it was just the two of us, lost in the moment.

I led her to one of the plush chairs, and we sank into it together, her body fitting perfectly against mine. My hands explored the curves of her waist and hips as her fingers danced along my jaw and down my neck.

“Jace,” she breathed against my lips, her voice thick with need.

“I want you, Lexie,” I confessed, the words spilling out before I could think.

“Then take me,” she replied, her voice held a sultry challenge I couldn’t ignore and sent a rush of heat through me.

With a surge of desire at her words, I lifted her effortlessly, and she wrapped her legs around my waist as I stood. Lexie’s laughter mingled with a gasp of surprise as I carried her down the hall and to my bedroom—no way was I fucking her for the first time on a table.

Our kisses grew more urgent as I placed her down on the bed. I trailed kisses down her neck, savoring and becoming addicted to the taste of her skin. She shivered beneath me, her breath hitching as I explored her collarbone.

“Jace,” she begged, and my resolve slipped. I growled over her moaning my name.

I trailed kisses down her neck and slid my hands underneath her tank top and peeled it off, kissing my way down her stomach until I reached the button of her jeans.

“Do you want to take them off, or do you want me to?” I asked, wanting to give her some control over the situation and let her know she could stop at any time, even if it would take all of my resolve to walk away.

“You, please,” she said on a sigh.

“My pleasure.” I undid the button and slowly pulled them down her thighs, trailing my fingers lightly over the softness of her bare thighs. She was absolutely drenched through her lacy black underwear, and I could smell her arousal.

“Starlight, do I get to have you for dessert?”

Her whimpers were the only response I got, but that was fine by me because my girl’s thighs were already trembling, and I hadn’t even gotten started. She looked like a goddess spread out on my bed. Her smooth, silky skin glowed, along with her red hair, and I was done for.

I slowly spread her thighs apart, taking my time, nibbling and sucking every inch of her I could get my mouth on before she was thrusting her pussy in my face, begging for some kind of friction.

“Is my girl feeling needy? Does she need something from me?” I took my pointer finger and slid it up and down between her slit, gathering her wetness, and I couldn’t help but moan as I shoved my finger into my mouth.

“Please Jace, please .” she begged.

“You taste so fucking good, Starlight.” I took my time licking her taste from my finger, wanting to tease her just a little bit more.

“I swear to god…” she started to say. A throaty laugh escaped me as I gave her what she wanted.

My tongue slowly licked up and down her slit for a few seconds before it circled over it.

I sucked it in and nibbled on it. Within seconds, Lexie was grabbing my hair and riding my face into her own orgasm.

“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit ,” she continued to mumble. I made my way back up her body, finally taking a nipple I sorely had neglected in my haste before. I swirled my tongue around it as she arched into me before moving on to the next one.

“Jace, fuck me,” she demanded, and started clawing my T-shirt off as if she had just realized I was still clothed.

“Stand up,” she ordered, and I did exactly as I was told. “It’s my turn.”

Lexie grabbed the bottom of my shirt and yanked it over my head, effectively disposing of it in one swift move.

Her fingers made quick work of my jeans next, and she wasted no time before she had my already achingly hard cock in her hands.

A few pumps, and I was about ready to explode.

She dropped to knees, and I almost prematurely came all over the floor.

She started to lick at the base of my shaft, rotating between sweet kisses and hard sucks to featherlight licks. I was seconds away from losing my fucking mind before I fisted her hair in my hand.

“Bed. Now.” No way was I embarrassing myself by coming too early.

She listened and hightailed it back on my bed, laid down, and spread her legs wide. I could still see the glistening of her arousal as I fisted my cock in my hand.

“Do you have a condom?” she asked, and I blanched. I didn’t.

I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had sex, so I never bought them.

“I…I don’t.”

“I’m clean and on the pill. Had to be tested before the mission.” My eyes flicked to the scar on her side, and I found myself lunging for her. “I’m clean, too, but if you aren’t comfortable, this stops now,” I told her, nuzzling into her neck.

“Hell no. Fuck me, please.”

“My pleasure, Starlight.” She was so wet as my dick slipped in between her folds, causing us both to moan in pleasure. I backed up a bit so my tip met her entrance, and I so very slowly started to push in. I was met with resistance.

“Fuck, you’re tight .” I groaned. Lexie felt so good. She felt like heaven and home, and I would worship at her altar for the rest of my days.

“Don’t stop.” She quivered.

“Never.” Finally, after a few more agonizing seconds, I bottomed out.

We both breathed out a sigh of relief at the feeling, and I slowly started to move my hips so very slowly.

I wrapped my arms underneath her, pulling Lexie’s body as close to mine as possible as I kept my hips going in a smooth rhythm.

I knew that the little moans and gasps she made as I hit deeper and deeper would bring me peace in my dying days.

I moved one hand to tangle in her hair as I gathered it and tugged, giving me access to her neck, where I continued to nip and suck and whisper over and over again how perfect she felt, how it was so good.

Lexie was so good. She was made for me. Her hips started to move in circles, and I knew she was close.

I took the hand that wasn’t tangled in her hair and glided it down so I could tilt her hips up, giving her friction on her clit as I kept my steady rhythm.

“Jace! Oh my god, Jace. I’m coming!”

She exploded around me, Lexie’s pussy pulsing, trying to force me out with the force of her second orgasm and it set off mine. “Where can I come?” I asked her before it was too late.

“In my pussy, Jace, please.”

Her words were the catalyst as I emptied myself into her thrust by thrust, and it never seemed to end. I thought I blacked out for a second from the intensity of it.

I pulled her aching body out from under me and laid her on my chest.

“That was—”

“Fucking amazing,” she finished for me, and I chuckled.

“I swear I’ll be a gentleman and get you a rag in a second, but I need a minute. My legs might give out if I try to get up now.”

“Hmmmm.” Her voice was light, like she was half awake and half asleep.

A few minutes passed while I relished in what had just happened, happiness unfolding in every part of my soul.

I kissed Lexie’s forehead, and she barely stirred as I went to the bathroom to get a washcloth ready for her.

I was about to head back into the room when I felt her come up behind me and wrap her arms around me.

“How about we shower instead?”

Like I’d say no to that.
