Maybe Jupe coming wasn’t the worst idea, and I hadn’t seen him properly in months. It would be fun to hang out. “Yes, I guess I can ask him.”
“Please, Emerson. I really don’t want you to be alone,” he pleaded.
“Alright, I will,” I smiled at him.
We all turned at the sound of a jug being knocked over, water splashing to the floor. Felix was groggily trying to sit up. He looked around at all of us staring, Molly righting the jug and mopping the water with some towels.
“Hey, guys, how long have you been here?”
“Oh, Jesus,” Cooper groaned.
Chapter 20
Islowed the speed on the treadmill until I reached a steady walking pace, allowing my breath and heart rate to settle.
Ten miles; pretty happy with that.
Even with the cool air in the gym, I was dripping with sweat, the towel I was wiping myself with didn’t seem to be able to absorb it fast enough. I stepped off as the tracks ground to a halt, grabbing my water bottle in the process and chugging what was left.
The rain was pelting down outside as I walked through to the house. It was freezing and disgusting.
I hated the cold, although not as much as Jupiter.
I laughed at the thought of him coping without blazing sunshine for the next ten days. I’d told him to pack warm, and knowing him, he’ll have sent his personal shopper out to order cashmere sweaters in every color. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned up in a beanie and scarf.
According to the clock in the kitchen, he’d be here in an hour, and I was so excited to see him, although it was at odds with the gnawing in my stomach at the thought of Drew being gone. He was only going to be away five days, but it already felt too long, and he hadn’t even left yet.
Who had I become?
But after a few weeks ago at the hospital, except for work, we’d barely left each other’s side, and my love, appreciation, and gratitude for him had deepened more every day, as well as my understanding of him.
Understanding that as long as I was happy, then he was.
And I was happy when he was happy.
It was that simple.
Love math, if you will.
He’d organized his lawyers to file a restraining order. Richard now couldn’t legally contact me or come within five hundred feet. And in the end, he’d called Jupiter, inviting him to come and stay, although he also had to point out that he’d be gone for the majority of the time to actually seal the deal, because Jupe was still being a grumpy fuck about us being together.
Because, boys.
I found Drew packing in his dressing room.
“Hi, baby. I’m just going to jump in the shower.” I kissed him on the cheek as I walked past, stripping off and turning on the faucets and stepping underneath the giant shower head.
I leaned back against the wall as the hot water pounded my muscles. When I opened my eyes, my breath hitched at thesight greeting me. Drew was standing naked, lazily stroking his perfect dick, a knowing smile slowly forming. His hazel eyes leisurely trailed up my body in a way that made my clit throb hard and my pussy drip with longing.
My heart began pounding heavily in anticipation, because from the look he had blazing through his hooded eyes, I knew I was going to feel him until he returned to me.
“Thought you were getting ready to leave.”
He stepped into the shower, his thumbs brushing against my tight, aching nipples. “I am. This is part of getting ready, because I can’t go without being inside you, feeling you clench against me as you milk my cock, so I have one more memory I can jerk off to while I’m gone, while I’m without you. I need it to carry me through the next five days, Emerson.”
Pressure started building low in my belly.
Fuck, this man could get me off with words alone.
