She rocked her hips up.On the heels of a breath, I slowly filled her.I felt her tense slightly, but it was subtle, a barely-there sensation before she relaxed.Once I was seated fully inside of her, I dragged my eyes open.
As her gaze met mine, I could feel the beat of her heart against mine.A sense of rightness settled inside, as if I’d come home.The physical fusion of our connection represented more than I could’ve imagined.
ChapterTwenty-Seven
Kendall
Jude’s eyes held mine.I could barely breathe.My heart was beating so fast in the jumble of so much emotion and the vastness of what had just happened.All I knew was I feltright.
It wasn’t just Jude.It was our connection.I felt held within it.Safe, almost cradled emotionally.
I didn’t even know how to explain it to anyone.Maybe those doubts would clamor inside again, and I would worry and fret.But for now, I was so grateful to have this with him.
“Are you okay?”he whispered.
I was gloriously, incredibly okay.I took a shaky breath as I nodded and leaned up to press a kiss on the underside of his jaw.I could feel him trembling as if he was holding back.
Although what I had said was true, that I had used a vibrator, I was still tight.While it shouldn’t have been a shock to me, Jude was, um, endowed.My body gradually began to relax.As the sense of fullness eased inside, I felt impatient, reckless, wanting more and wanting it now.
I rocked my hips up toward his, and he let out a choked sound.“Kendall,” he bit out.
I pressed another kiss on his jaw, savoring the taste of his skin.“Jude,” I teased.“Wasn’t there a point to this?”
His eyes met mine, and I could see the amused disbelief there.I loved this—the physical sensation, the emotions, Jude, here with me, us joined as closely as two humans could be.
It was so much more than I could have imagined.With his eyes locked to mine.I was lost in the blur of his gaze as he began to rock into me with slow, deep nudges.The subtle friction where we were joined sent streaks of pleasure through me.I could feel how close he was with the tension drawing him tight and trembling.I chased my own release, impatient and near desperate for it.Even though only moments ago, he had already brought me there.
He shifted his weight, murmuring, “I know what you need.”
Of course, he did.With the teasing pressure of his fingers, my orgasm came slow, the pleasure like a wave rising from the bottom of the ocean breaking slowly at the surface in long, deep ripples.
Jude let out a ragged cry, my name sounding almost like a prayer as I felt him go taut just before his body shuddered over me.His head bowed to dip in the curve of my neck.He breathed me in as we trembled together.
Long moments later, my awareness flickered and broke through the haze.He had rolled us over, and I was resting in a tangle against him.My palm had landed over his heart, and I loved that I could feel the steady beat.
He had one palm curled around my hips, and the other sifting through my curls.I lifted my head, and his lashes were curled against his cheek.
“Jude,” I whispered.
It was amazing he hadn’t bothered us yet, but just then, Travis came bounding onto the bed, letting out a joyous yip, ecstatic at the sight of Jude and me naked in bed together.
I savored the feel of Jude’s chuckle rumbling in his chest.“Hey, buddy,” he said, freeing his hand from my curls to greet Travis.
“He’s very happy you’re here,” I pointed out.
“You think?”Jude asked.
When his eyes met mine, my heart did a funny little twist.It felt as if it had fallen and was sprawled on the ground, vulnerable and open.“You know you’re his favorite human, Jude,” I managed to say.
Jude was quiet for a moment, the affection and warmth in his eyes turning my heart over again.“I’m pretty sureyou’rehis favorite.I’m just more of a novelty for him,” he said.
Travis bounced off the bed, already done with this moment, and trotted off to get some water in the kitchen.
“How do you feel?”Jude asked.
“I feel great.I told you.I was just a man virgin.”
Jude’s chuckle rustled in his throat as he studied me.“My question was about more than that,” he clarified.
