I took a quick peek down to her chest. While we were cooking dinner, she had tugged her shirt down a little further than usual so that I saw her black lace bra. Just the sight of that made me want to jump her, but I stopped myself. I could barely register any thoughts when I saw her short skirt that she wore to work today. Why couldn’t this be easier?
“Bo should be texting me that he’s on his way soon. What would you like to do until then?” I asked innocently as I tucked her hair behind her ear.
Maybe this would push me into asking her to join me on this trip.
“We could always go up to your room, spend some close time together before you leave,” Julianna smiled.
That wasn’t exactly asking me but that fucking voice in my head wouldn’t shut up.
“Julianna, you said that you wanted to take it slow, remember?” I reminded her.
Our lack of sex was just as much on her as it was on me. She asked for the slowness. Julianna grabbed onto my cheeks before pulling me in for a sound kiss. The second that she released me, my heart pounded. God, I wanted her so badly.
“Finn, we’re going at a snail’s pace here and it’s driving me crazy.”
Really? Because you seemed fine up until now.
“I know, but you said you wanted to take it slow,” I started. My next sentence accidently slipped out, “I don’t want to fuck this up again.”
There, I said it. I had a fear of screwing this all up and losing her for good. Especially when I wanted to fucking propose to her. Suddenly, Julianna got up from the couch in a haste and faced me.
She looked pissed, “Do you or do you not find me attractive in a sexual sense?”
Where the hell was this coming from?
“Julianna, you know that I do.”
“Do you or do you not want me?” Her voice raised a fraction.
I needed to tell her the truth, maybe that would shut up the voice in my head, “I want you.”
She lifted her arm in the direction of the staircase to the second floor, “Then get your ass upstairs and fuck me already.”
Was she really that horny? Did I fall asleep at one point during the movie and I was fantasizing about sex with her? I fucking wanted her, and she just told me to fuck her. The voice in my head was silent.
Julianna sighed heavily and turned to face the stairs, “Okay then, I guess I’ll just go up to the bedroom and take care of myself.”
Fuck no, you’re not. Your pleasure is mine.
“Over my dead body,” I hissed, getting up from the couch and throwing her over my shoulder.
Making quick work of the stairs, I could feel her hands grabbing onto the back of my shirt as I carried her. Once inside my room, I let her slide down my body before practically ripping her shirt off. God damn, the way her breasts looked in that push up bra almost made me come. I unhooked her bra and Julianna eagerly took it off. Her nipples were already starting to harden just by my looking at them.
Before I could let the small voice in my head interrupt this moment, I ducked my head down and covered one of her nipples with my mouth, lightly grazing my teeth over the bud. My mouth worked her other nipple and Julianna arched her back, pushing her breast into my mouth more as she moaned loudly. That was a very missed sound in this room. My hands went to her waistband as I sucked on her nipple. The moment I didn’t find the zipper on the first circle around her waist, I remembered that she had worn a pencil skirt. As hot as those things looked, they pissed me off with this seemingly invisible zipper.
“God damn it, Jules, stop wearing these fucking skirts,” I growled as I let go of her nipple and fought with her skirt.
Julianna grabbed my hand and put it on her left side, my middle finger ran over a small tab. The thing was so fucking small, no wonder I couldn’t find it.
“Why’s it gotta be so fucking small? I have big hands, they miss tiny things like that,” I groaned, unzipping her skirt.
“You know where it is now, so shut up and keep going,” Julianna demanded, the lust in her eyes darker than I had ever seen it before.
I kissed her with as much passion as I could muster in that moment and let her now unzipped skirt fall around her ankles. Moving my lips from hers down to her neck, and all the way down her body, I knelt before her and slid off her panties. I leaned forward and spread her legs slightly before my tongue dove in for her clit. Her hands fisted in my hair as I slid my tongue down from her clit and pushed it into her dripping wet pussy. Fuck, I missed the taste of her. A few thrusts of my tongue and Julianna screamed out, her hands pulling on my hair, her juices washing over my tongue, and her legs went weak. Holy hell…did she just come for me already?
I sat back on my heels and studied her face before I started laughing, “Did you just…”
She hid her face with her hands. I didn’t mean to embarrass her, it just took me by surprise. I’d never made her, or any other girl, come as quickly as she just did. I stood up from my place on the floor and gently tried to pull her hands away.
“Baby, look at me,” I cooed.
Her hands went down to her sides, her cheeks flushed from her orgasm and her embarrassment.
“Were you really that pent up?” I put my hand on her cheek to calm her.
“I’ve been trying to tell you…” She responded softly.
“I’m so sorry,” I kissed her tenderly. How the fuck did I let the voice in my head mess with me so much that I neglected to see how badly she wanted to be intimate?
She fisted my shirt in her hands, “Make it up to me now.”
The rate that Julianna undressed me must have been some sort of record. As soon as all of my clothes were on the floor, I lifted Julianna up and onto the bed. This time was going to be the first time since our temporary break up. We were going to make up for the things we did and said. I covered her body with mine and Julianna eagerly propped herself up and kissed me. My hands pushed her legs apart before I quickly thrust into her as fast as I could.
Julianna’s head fell back onto the bed, her mouth open in a large ‘O’ as she groaned louder than I’d ever heard her groan before. When her legs took their place around me, I knew that she wanted more of me. I kissed down to her neck, softly nipping at her skin as I pumped myself in and out of her. I held back from pounding into her like I normally did when I lost control, but I went just a little slower than I usually went. This moment was as much for her as it was for me, and I wasn’t ready to give in just yet.
“Finn…” Julianna moaned as she dragged her nails along my back. I had a feeling there might have been scratches left behind this time.
“Oh Jules, I love you,” I sighed against her skin.
“I love you too, baby. Fuck, I’ve missed this.”
That was it, I needed to come just like she did. I pushed in and out of her faster, putting a little extra hard thrust in every few pumps. Her pussy was tightening around my cock, shit she was so close. The sound of my text message notification ringing from my pants pocket caused me to stop.
“You cannot be fucking serious right now,” Julianna growled as she watched me.
I did need to sort of let Bo know that I hadn’t exactly asked her to come yet and to just waste a little time before he got here. I started to get up, but Julianna pulled me back, effectively pushing my cock back into her. She was close alright, her pussy feeling extra tight around me.
“Bo can fucking wait two minutes while you make me come, Finn,” Julianna demanded before she pulled me back in for another kiss.
The things that this girl did to me. I moaned as I started all over again, pumping into her as fast as I could and deciding to just thrust hard as well. My release was right on the edge, but she needed to come first. I always made sure that she came first. I could practically feel her orgasm explode on my cock as she screamed out for me, her nails digging into my back as her body began to shake. That was all I needed in order for my orgasm to hit me head on as I thrusted hard one last time and my release emptied deep into her.
“I don’t want you to leave,” her eyes finally opened to meet mine. They were bright and blue.
It’s now or never, McAllister.
“Then come with me,” I leaned my forehead against hers, hoping she’d have a good reaction.
“What?” Her eyes got wide.
“I bought you a ticket to join me. I’ll pay the hotel for an upgrade to have our own bedroom. Come to New York with me.”
Okay, so I might have already called the hotel, but I didn’t want her to feel obligated to go because I spent money on her.
She looked at me, her eyebrow raising in confusion, “I thought you were going to New Jersey.”
“We are, but New York is just a quick drive away. You said you’ve always wanted to go there, let me take you.”
I watched as she thought it over. Probably weighing her pros and cons, something that she usually did before making a decision. Then her lips turned into a frown and her eyebrows furrowed. That was not a good sign.
“Babe, I don’t have a bag packed.”
That’s what she was worried about? The girl damn near gave me a heart attack.
“It’s already taken care of. I packed some of the clothes that you’ve left here in my suitcase. Your spare toothbrush is in there as well and, when you weren’t looking last night after you took your medications, I swiped them and brought them home with me. Those are also packed in my suitcase as well,” I encouraged her as I ran my nose against hers.
Her lips turned into a shy smile, “I’d love to go see New York with you.”
The church choir was singing, and I think I just saw the fucking light. Thank you, God, for letting her say yes.
“I’m so happy you said yes. There is one thing you’re missing though,” I quickly climbed off Julianna and opened my bedside table.
“Condoms?” She teased as she rolled onto her side.
“Don’t be silly, those were packed when I decided to invite you. If we remember to use them or not is a different story.”
I grabbed her necklace in my hand before giving her a wink. She sat up and ran her hand through her hair.
“Then what am I missing?”
I turned to face her, the necklace I gave her to celebrate our one-month anniversary on its new silver chain hung from my fingers, “This.”
She grinned and took the necklace from me, quickly putting it back in its rightful place.
“I would’ve given it back sooner, but I had to get a new chain for it. The other one broke when you tore it off your neck,” the memory of last week flashed through my mind.
Julianna joined me on the edge of the bed and used her fingers to bring my chin up, “I never should have done that. I’m sorry, Finn.”
I gave her a soft kiss, “Don’t be sorry, I hurt you. I deserved it.”
Just when I was going to lay Julianna down and progress this kiss a little more, my phone rang off and I knew that Bo was there. One check of my texts and I knew that I was right. Julianna and I dressed together, some more touching taking place as we helped one another put on certain articles of clothing. I picked up my suitcase while Julianna grabbed her purse and soon we were downstairs in Bo’s car taking off to the airport.
Normally, I hated sitting in airports and flights were boring as I just watched some television or slept. With Julianna by my side, the five hours between the airport wait and the actual flight flew by. She even fell asleep on the ride over, her head on my shoulder like she had fallen asleep many times before.
Our hotel room was ready and waiting when we got to New Jersey. Julianna and I went up to our room only to be interrupted by Drake, Simon, and Bo. I snuck into the hallway, happy that Julianna chose to stay in our room.
“Did you print the tickets for me like I asked?” I looked at Drake.
He handed me the tickets for the Central Park Zoo that I had ordered but didn’t have a chance to print out. That was going to be where I proposed to Julianna, in front of one of her favorite exhibits, the red panda.
“You sure you want to take your girlfriend to the zoo to propose, McAllister? It sounds a little childish,” Simon offered his opinion.
“Would you rather I do it somewhere more cliché? Times Square?”
“No, that would be worse. But why the zoo?” Bo stepped in.
I smiled and looked back over my shoulder at Julianna through the crack of the door as it was propped open. She was standing at the window, her head tilted to the side as she studied the view.
“She loves zoos and animals. This zoo has one of her favorite animals, and I figured it would be more meaningful for her.”
“Damn, you weren’t kidding, Bo. He really does care about this one more than the last,” Simon chuckled as he patted me on the back.
“She’s pretty fucking special, man. I’m gonna get back to her though. Thanks for taking care of these,” I held up the tickets and folded them up before putting them in my pocket for safe keeping.
They started to catcall, but I shut the door and pulled over the swing lock as an added security feature. I crossed the room and snaked my arms around Julianna’s waist as she looked out the window. Her hands covered mine as I started to kiss her neck. It was time to continue what we had started earlier.
“Thank you for inviting me, this view is amazing.”
Thank god the receptionist wasn’t lying earlier. When I looked out the window, Julianna was right, the view was amazing. The Passaic River was almost right there in front of us as it quietly flowed, the lights of the city twinkling off in the distance. This view had nothing on Julianna though, so I went back to pressing my lips against the soft skin of her neck.
“It’s not as amazing as you are.”
I tugged her shirt out of the waistband of her pencil skirt, it was about time that she got naked again.
“What happened to taking it slow, Finn,” Julianna giggled softly.
I gently bit down on her neck, “Fuck going slow.”
Julianna turned around suddenly in my arms, “Make love to me.”
“Anything for you.”
And that was exactly what I did.
Chapter Nine
Julianna slept soundly in our hotel room bed, the blankets she had clutched to her chest when she fell asleep down around her waist as her beautiful breasts were exposed. Today was the day that I was going to propose to this woman. Dear god, I hoped she said yes. Her mother and step-father had given their blessing this morning when I asked. So that meant that she would say yes, right?
I had called down for room service to be delivered, ordering a large delicious sounding breakfast full of Julianna’s favorites. Today was going to be all about her.
I kissed her lips softly, “Wake up, baby.”
Her eyes slowly opened as her arms stretched over her head, “Why are you waking me up so early after keeping me up so late?”
“I only have the morning with you. I wish I had more time, but I have practice this afternoon before the game.”
She sighed heavily as she put her hand on my cheek, “Okay, then let’s make the most of our day. What’s on the agenda?”
There was a knock on the door, “First, breakfast in bed.”
Julianna grinned as she pulled the blankets back up her body. I got up, slipped my boxers back on, and let in the room service. Everything smelt delicious, today was already off to a great start.
“Oh my god. Finn. Did you know that they have a red panda here?!” Julianna squealed as she looked at the map to the zoo.
She had been this excited all day and the feeling was infectious. I had been to New York several times before for work and
just to visit but seeing it through Julianna’s eyes as a first timer made everything seem different. I had taken her to the 9/11 memorial, we stood right in the hustle and bustle of Times Square, and I nonchalantly offered up a walk in Central Park. We didn’t have much time left in our morning together, but I was going to make the most of it. She’d be at my game tonight though to cheer me on, and the look on her face when I invited her to the game was priceless. She didn’t think I’d make her sit at the hotel alone for hours, did she?
“I think Angie might have mentioned your unhealthy obsession with red pandas, panda bears in general, and koala bears,” I laughed, putting my arm around her shoulders to pull her close.
The ring I had bought her was tucked into the pocket of my light winter jacket that I was wearing. I just had to make sure that Julianna didn’t bump into it and ask what it was.
“What do you wanna see first, baby?” I glanced over at the map that she was holding before placing a gentle kiss on her temple.
She used her index finger to gesture at the penguin icon on the map, “Hmm, let’s see the penguins.”
“Penguins it is,” I chuckled, bringing her tight against me and let her lead the way.
I thought that watching Julianna at the major sightseeing points of New York was entertaining and exciting, but I underestimated how she would react to a zoo. The way her eyes lit up as she watched the animals as they did their thing made me wonder what she was thinking about as she watched them. Her hand would squeeze mine when she was ready to move onto the next exhibit and we were getting closer and closer to the moment where I would propose to her. As far as I could tell, Julianna had no clue about my idea to propose.
We walked up to the red panda exhibit and Julianna’s face lit up even more than it had been our entire morning. She practically vibrated with happiness when we finally saw the small furry animal being active. The way her eyes shined as she watched it run back and forth, its long fluffy tail swinging around, I thought she was going to explode from being so excited. I took a glance around, happy that we were semi-alone, and I knew that now was the time to make my move. I cleared my throat to get Julianna’s attention away from one of her favorite animals.
