Page 69 of Second Chance for Mr. Alden

“Please, James. I’ve missed this part of us, too.”

I moaned low in my throat, her words inciting the lust that always simmered below the surface when I was with her. “Whatever you want, Jess. Tonight is about me giving you what you desire.”

My fingertips found her chin, my thumb traced lightly over her plump bottom lip, and she shuddered at my touch. My heart swelled with the love I’d bottled up inside all these years for her. I banded my arm around her back and squeezed her closer, grateful to have this chance to be with her again.

She sucked my thumb into her mouth, my cock jumped. “Jess,” I groaned, needing to feel her mouth against mine. It had been far too long.

Her lips parted with a soft whimper giving me the access I’d been dreaming about. I slanted her head, to better reach her. My lips brushed across hers, once, twice, and a third time before she pressed against me. Her arms snaked up around my neck to pull me close, to deepen the kiss.

Being with her was like coming home.

The soft brushes of her hands over my body ignited a fire in me. I wanted to touch her everywhere. Even knowing we had the rest of the night to explore each other’s bodies, I struggled to slow down. My fingers dug into her waist to lift her so that her legs straddled me, her knees on either side of my thighs. I shuddered as she wiggled her body closer, and I lost the little control I had left.

In this moment, she was mine once again and I knew I’d never let her go.

I lightly scraped my teeth along her lower lip, eliciting a full body tremble from her. It wasn’t just a connecting of our bodies, but our souls. And I wanted every moment of our time together to be etched in my memory forever.

Our lips smashed together, our teeth clashing as we frantically kissed. We were frantic in our desire for each other. Each touch felt familiar and new all at the same time and I wanted to savor it.

I slowed down, placing gentle kisses on the corners of her mouth, and down the side of her neck. “I’ve thought about this moment more times than I can count,” I admit. There wasn’t a single day she wasn’t on my mind.

Jess’ beautiful smile lit up her face as she wrapped her legs around my waist. “Me, too, James.”

An overwhelming desire to possess her swept through me while I sucked at the spot between her neck and shoulder. I knew it would leave a mark showing the world she was mine. I growled against her skin in satisfaction as she quivered, arching her neck and leaning further into me.

Pulling my lips from her skin I rasped, “I want to see you. All of you.”

“And what about this handsome body?” she teased as her fingers tightened around my shoulders.

I gave her ass a playful swat, loving the giggle that escaped her mouth. “It’s you that deserves to be on full display. I want to worship you and watch every expression that crosses your face as I make you come over and over again.”

I gazed at her through hooded eyes as she took one of my hands and kissed my palm before holding it against her heart.

A craving for her rose up and over me at her tenderness.

“We have all night for that, but right now I want to look at you. You did promise tonight I’d get what I desired.” Her hands shook as she grabbed my t-shirt and pulled it up off my body. A sliver of pink peeked out of her mouth as she dragged her tongue across her pouty lips. Lowering her gaze, her hands slowly traced my pecs and down each ridge and valley of my abs.

I sucked in a breath, as she reached the waistband of my boxers. “You have such a beautiful body,” she whispered, leaving light kisses trailing across my neck and collarbone.

Liquid fire burned through my veins with each swipe of her tongue on my throat. Her hand skated down my stomach, adding fuel to the already burning inferno. My muscles bunched and contracted beneath her gentle touch as she slipped beneath the waistband of my boxers and wrapped her hand around my hard length.

A deep, intense groan rumbled up my throat. “Fuck.” Her grip tightened, causing my hips to jerk.

“You like that,” she mumbled against my throat, squeezing my cock at the base and then running her hand up and down.

My hips thrust again as I grunted a response.

Jess laughed, her breath a slight tickle on my heated skin. She continued to stroke my hard length as she kissed and licked her way to my mouth.

How had I gone so long without her in my life?

Our lips locked together, my tongue stroking the seam of her mouth, begging her to let me in. This time when our mouths fused together, our teeth and tongues warred as we kissed. I knew without a doubt that I’d never get enough of her.

My need for her, a raw, desperate need, rolled through me. My hands roamed over her curves, rough, possessive even. She had always been mine. Now I was claiming her. I slid my hands under her shirt, my fingertips drifting over her ribcage, until I was kneading her breasts.

“James,” she groaned, her voice frantic. “I need your mouth on my body.”

My body ached at her words. I gently pulled her hand from my boxers, nipping at her lips when she pouted, and laid her back on the bed. I licked one pert nipple, circling it with my tongue, before sucking hard while I palmed her other breast, tugging and twisting that nipple until she groaned.
