“And now I’m telling you to appreciate some help with doing your job and let me get to work.”
He finally gives in, his shoulders relaxing as we start tidying up together. Luke has to make a few phone calls, and Robert leans in slightly towards me, whispering with a mischievous look in his eyes.
“He’s quite smitten with you.” I glance over at Luke, noticing the way his eyes light up and how his smile widens when he catches my gaze.
“I’m quite smitten with him, too,” I reply honestly, feeling a warm flush spread through me.
There’s an ease in Luke’s presence. He ignites my nerves with a single touch, yet he also soothes me when I feel frazzled. The quiet intensity of his gaze makes my heart beat a little faster.
We finish the dishes, and I thank Robert for a wonderful evening filled with laughter and good conversation before he heads to his own room.
Then it’s just Luke and me.
We decide to watch a movie and get comfortable on the sofa, the soft glow of the television flickering across the room. I settle into Luke’s lap, feeling the softness of his shirt against my skin as he gently draws circles on my hip with his fingertips.
Even though the touch isn’t sexual, I feel the tension building in my stomach, wanting to becloser to him in every way.
A part of me wants to go slow, another part of me is dying to touch him in the ways I’ve been imagining ever since that first day we met.
Daring myself to be brave, I look up to Luke, before I climb on top of him, making him lie down on the couch.
“Eager for me, princess?” he says, smirking at me.
“Shut up. You don’t want me? Okay, I’ll just go home and get myself off then,” I tell him, clearly joking, but to sell my act, I start to stand up.
He immediately grabs me around the waist and topples me onto the sofa, now with him on top of me.
“Not so fast. The only one getting you off today will be me.” He leans into me and begins kissing me. It’s the sweetest pleasure, but also the greatest torment.
Luke starts kissing down my throat, his hands roaming around my body before finally touching lightly right over the waistline of my trousers. He teases me with gentle touches, and I whimper at him, pressing myself closer for more pressure.
Understanding dawns, and his hand slips into my pants before he begins rubbing the inside of my thighs.
“This okay, Jessica?” he asks, and I nod at him, eager for his touch.
I kiss him, and Luke slowly makes his way upwards until his fingers dip inside my thong and one single finger ever so slightly brushes my clit.
“So wet for me, princess.” He husks in my ear, and I claw at his back, dragging his t-shirt over him. He applies more pressure and pushes a finger inside me, making me buck into him.
“Oh god.” I cry out just as he adds a second finger and starts pumping in and out of me whilst circling my clit with his thumb.
“Just like that, Jessica. God, you look stunning, all flushed from my touch. Do you know how many times I’ve imagined you like this?”
He urges me on, and his words push me even closer to the edge. Knowing he’s thought about me the same way I have about him.
It makes me feel powerful and sexy, knowing this man wants me just as much as I crave him.
I bite his earlobe, trying to hold back my sounds, which provokes a strong reaction from Luke. He presses into me, making me feel his hard length.
“Fuck Jessica, you feel so good.” I feel myself getting closer to the edge, and just when I think I can’t take any more, Luke adds a third finger.
“Luke! I’m close,” I gasp up at him as he continues his sweet torture.
“Come on, Jessica, show me just how good I’m making you feel.”
When I come, it’s a powerful orgasm built on all the feelings and wants I’ve stored over these weeks, and he’s there catching me, as he rides off my orgasm on his fingers.
