Blake frowns. “Why?”
“I’d spent my whole life being in control. I had to be, for Josie’s sake. But that night, between Josie getting in that car accident and it being my first time...” I shake my head, a self-deprecating laugh escaping. “I didn’t know how to process any of it. So I ran.”
Blake’s eyes widen. “Wait, did you just say... that was your first time having sex?”
Heat floods my cheeks. “It was my only time.”
Mortification churns in my gut. He had to have known I was a virgin that night, right? I feel so inexperienced and inadequate compared to him.
Peeking up at him, I whisper, “Are you mad?”
Blake gazes down at me, his blue eyes smoldering with intensity. “Mad? No, Julie. I’m not mad.” He cups my face in his big hands. “I’m honored.”
Then his mouth crashes against mine in a possessive kiss that steals my breath.
“Honored to be your first,” he rasps against my lips. He kisses me again, deeper, with a thorough sweep of his tongue. When he pulls back, he growls, “Honored to be your last.”
I blink up at him, dazed and dizzy. “My last?”
His expression turns resolute, and his jaw clenches. “You’re mine, Julie. You’ve always been my girl. No other man will ever touch you except me.”
Suddenly, Blake scoops me up and tosses me over his shoulder. A startled giggle bursts out of me. “Blake! Put me down! I’m too heavy!”
Smacking my ass, he rumbles, “Not a chance, baby. I’m taking you upstairs so we can finish what we started.”
Chapter Six
BLAKE
I carryJulie into the bedroom, my heart pounding and my cock straining against my jeans as I close the door behind us.
Fuck, I want her so bad.
I still can’t believe this is happening and she’s here with me. My eyes drink in every inch of her beautiful face as I take a step closer to her and reach out to touch her soft skin.
“I’m so glad you’re here, baby,” I whisper, tracing the outline of her jawline. “So glad you came back to me.”
Julie looks up at me from underneath her dark eyelashes. The need in her eyes matches my own. “I’m glad I’m here too, Blake,” she says softly.
I can’t hold back anymore. I crush my mouth against hers, and Julie melts against me with a gasp as I delve my tongue into her mouth.
Fuck.
Her taste, her warmth—this woman is everything. And I already know I’ll never be able to get enough. My hands roam her body, greedy for every curve, every inch of her soft skin.
I break away just long enough to trail my lips along her jaw. “I’m so fucking hard for you right now,” I rasp against her neck. “So fucking hard. You have no idea what you do to me, baby.”
I tear my lips away from hers to slowly undress her, relishing each new inch of silky skin as it’s revealed to my hungry eyes. After I unclasp her bra and toss it aside, I cup the perfect weight of her breasts in my hands. I brush my thumbs over the hardened peaks, and she arches into my touch with a breathy moan.
Lowering my head, I draw one rosy nipple deep into my mouth, swirl my tongue, and then suck hard. Julie cries out, digging her nails into my shoulders.
After I pay lavish attention to each breast, I trail open-mouthed kisses down her quivering belly. She fists her hands in my hair as I dip my tongue into her navel.
Reaching for the waistband of her jeans, I glance up to find her watching me with hooded eyes. I keep eye contact as I pop the button and drag the zipper down slowly. “Lift up for me, sweetheart.” She obliges, and I peel the denim down her long legs, taking her panties with them.
Finally she’s laid bare before me, a freakin’ goddess on silk sheets.
Gingerly, I lay Julie down on the bed and drink in every detail of her naked body splayed out for me. I still can’t quite believe this is real, that the woman I love, the mother of my child, wants me like this.
