Asearing pain in my neck has my eyes snapping open and only then do I realize I had fallen asleep on the floor in front of the fireplace. James does have pretty plush carpeting but not comfortable enough to sleep on the floor for an extended period of time, which is the cause of the ache shooting up my side. I blink several times and wipe the rest of the sleep from them before turning to the sleeping man whose arms are wrapped around me. I press my lips to his and he smiles instantly, pulling me closer, and wraps the blanket tighter around us. I don’t know how long we’ve been asleep, but I know for a fact we didn’t sleep much last night. I’m pretty sure the sun was starting to rise the last time he slipped out of me.

“What time is it?” he murmurs against my lips.

I reach over him and look at his phone and happen to see something catch my eye. “Eight-thirty.”

“Fuck, we have to start getting ready to head out soon. I’m surprised Dad hasn’t called to make sure we’re up and moving.” He stretches and lets out a yawn.

I’m still looking at his phone, staring at a text from a woman asking if she could come over last night at two in the morning. “Ummm, a girl named Mila texted you.” The words are on the tip of my tongue, and I try to catch them before they’re out of my mouth. But the vulnerability of losing my virginity last night has my mind racing at the thought I misread this whole situation. “I thought you said you weren’t seeing anyone?”

His eyes snap to mine and then to his phone that’s still in my hands. I sit back on my knees and he sits up as well. His hand reaches under my chin and lifts it to meet his gaze. “I’m not. I mean, that’s nothing. It’s not serious.”

I nod. “I know, I just…I’m trying not to be jealous.”

“There is no one for you to be jealous of. No one knows me the way you do. No one is in here but you.” He puts a hand over his chest. “No one can have this now but you.” He grabs his dick and surprisingly that’s what I needed to hear more than the sweet romantic part.

I know he doesn’t love this Mila girl. I know he doesn’t feel anything deep for her. I’m pretty sure James has never been in love. But I know he’s been in lust. I know he’s had girlfriends and fuck buddies and one night stands. I know his heart is mine, but I needed to know his dick is mine too.

“She asked to come over.”

He runs a hand through his chestnut hair that’s messy from sleep. “Baby…don’t get yourself worked up over this.”

“It would be so easy for you to be with her. No sneaking around. No lying. No hiding.”

“You’re right,” he tells me and my heart hurts at his words even if they are the truth. “But it’s too late for all of that. I want you, Gabrielle. I need you. I love you. Sex has never meant as much to me as it does with you. I’ve fucked, sure. But I’ve never made love to anyone.” He cocks his head to the side and his blue eyes bore into mine. “Until you.” I nod, suddenly feeling super foolish. I hadn’t imagined everything that had transpired last night. James loves me but he does have a past. A past I’m somewhat privy to.

“There have been women, but none of them meant anything. Case in point, I’ve actually blown off women, Mila included, when you’ve needed me. When you’ve wanted to come over. When I needed to go pick you up from somewhere. You’ve always been the priority. The most important person in my world. Hell, the center of it.”

I let out a shaky breath and swallow hard because his words aren’t doing anything but making me wet. He smiles as if he can hear my thoughts. “Is your pussy wet now?”

I nod.

“If I fuck you now, you can’t take an hour in the bathroom getting ready.”

“I promise I won’t!” I giggle as I push him onto his back and slide down his cock.

Okay so I lied, and James knew it too, but I sucked his dick after we made love again so I think I’m forgiven. Although, we are leaving thirty minutes after we were supposed to leave which resulted in a lecture from Dad for not being on schedule.

“Sorry!” I squeal as we get in the car, after he gets off the phone.

“He’ll be okay.” He chuckles. “I’m in no rush to get home anyway.”

“I know me either, but the roads…” I wince as we make our way out of the garage and onto the street. They’ve been plowed, but the snow is falling again and it’s only a matter of time before the streets are covered with a thin blanket of snow. It’s about an hour drive from here to our home in Greenwich, Connecticut but I am not sure how we’ll fare in a light snow storm and the holiday traffic.

He rubs my thigh and gives it a squeeze. “I’ll drive safely. There’s precious cargo in here.” About an hour later, we’re still about twenty minutes from home as the snow did slow us down some.

“So…can we not…until we are back in New York?”

He glances at me, and before I can think he’s pulling over to the side of the road. I look around at what he’s doing and I’m grateful that we’re off the highway on a less traveled road. “What do you think?”

I shrug. “I don’t know.”

He pulls my face closer to his and presses a kiss to my lips. His tongue invades my mouth instantly and my body begins to build with every swipe of his tongue against mine. I don’t know how long we’re at it but when we pull apart, we are both out of breath and his lips are red and wet and I’m sure mine look similar. “I don’t know that I’ll be able to go a week without you.”

“A week? James, I’m home until after New Year’s. I’m sure you’ll go back to New York but the dorms don’t open again until mid-January.”

His eyes widen as the reality of not being able to touch me for the next month sets in. He leans back against the headrest. “Fuck. Can’t you say you have to go back early?”

“Okay and stay where?”
