Page 158 of Choosing You

“Sorry. I couldn’t sleep. I’m not used to such a big bed. I didn’t mean to wake you up. I’ll just go back over there.”

He hooks his arm around my waist. “You’re not going anywhere. This is the first time I’ve had a girl in this bed.”

There’s something about sneaking into his bed late at night that I find to be extremely hot. That and the fact that he’s shirtless and smells like he just got out of the shower. I move closer until our bodies are touching, then kiss him softly.

Garret wakes up from his half-asleep state and kisses me back. Our light kisses quickly turn more intimate and I feel myself wanting more.

His hand moves over my t-shirt, stopping at my breast, his thumb lightly circling the center of it. My heart rate ramps up and my chest rises and falls as my breath quickens. He slips my shirt off and his tongue teases the area his thumb just warmed up.

Now I really want more. Way more.

I slide my hand under the front of his pajama pants. He must only wear boxers to bed when I’m sleeping next to him because tonight there’s nothing there but him. His breathing becomes heavier and more uneven as I touch him. His pants don’t fit him right in his aroused state so I slide them off.

“Where are you taking this, Jade?” he asks in a deep, sexy voice as he leaves kisses up and down my neck.

I don’t answer him as I shimmy out of my pajama shorts and kick them off. He runs his fingers under the hem of my white lace bikinis, causing a flood of sensation to erupt between my legs.

“Jade, what are you doing here?” He says it softly by my ear. “I need to know.”

My eyes meet his in the dim light of the room. “I love you, Garret.”

“I love you, too. But tell me what you want here. Tell me how far.”

“I want you. All of you.”

“Are you sure?” I hear the surprise in his voice. He probably didn’t expect this to happen for weeks. Or months.

“Yes. I’m sure.”

He looks at me like he doesn’t believe me.

“Garret, I’m ready for this. I want this.” I smile at him. “Don’t you?”

He smiles back. “I’m pretty sure you know the answer to that.”

“So what are you waiting for?”

He keeps his eyes on mine as he tugs my panties down until they’re all the way off. I thought he’d skip straight to the sex, like the last guy I was with, but instead he lies next to me and kisses me as he moves his hand along my body, teasing all my sensitive areas. Areas I didn’t even know were sensitive until he touched them. The guy seriously knows what he’s doing.

When I’m at the point that I can’t wait a second longer, he grabs a condom from the nightstand and rolls it on.

He hovers over me, our bodies not yet touching. “Jade, we don’t have to do this. I can wait. I’ll wait as long as you want.”

“I know. But I don’t want to wait. I want to be with you.” And it’s so true. I’m dying to be with him.

He lowers his body over mine and kisses me again. Then he lifts up slightly and I feel the tip of him brush against me. I panic for a second, not sure if this will hurt like it did the last time. But he inches in slowly, his hips gently rocking until he’s fully inside. I breathe into it and then relax when I realize it doesn’t hurt. It feels good. Really good.

I open my eyes and see Garret watching me, like he’s making sure I’m okay. I give him a look that says that I am, then let my eyes fall shut again as I focus on how this feels.

His lips touch my shoulder, my neck, my mouth, giving me gentle, barely-there kisses. Then his breathing grows more ragged as he moves in and out, slowly and rhythmically, awakening sensations deep within my core.

It’s so much better than the first time I had sex. I didn’t feel anything back then, at least nothing good. Now I’m feeling things I didn’t even know I could feel. And not just the physical things. It’s more than that. I feel a deeper connection to Garret. I can tell how much he loves me by the way he’s touching me and kissing me and watching me to make sure I’m okay.

Garret pauses for a moment. He’s trying to make this last for me which is sweet, but my body is aching for him to keep going. I lift my head up and kiss him hard and with purpose. He gets the message and his hips start moving again, faster this time. My hips instinctively move along with him. Soon every muscle in my body tenses up and I clutch his shoulders, arching back as the tension releases in powerful waves. When he said he’d make it worth the wait, he definitely wasn’t exaggerating.

His movement slows briefly and his head lowers down to place a soft, sweet kiss on my lips. Then he starts up again, moving faster, his breathing heavy, until his body shudders against me.

He rolls onto his back, taking me with him in his arms and holding me snugly against the side of his body. “I love you, Jade.”
