Not once did I ever believe those fantasies would come to fruition.
Hell, I never thought she’d look sideways at me.
I mean, come on. The girl is gorgeous and so fucking smart she makes my brain hurt. She could be or do anything she wanted in this world. All the choices are hers to make. Not once did I think I’d be one of them. That I was anywhere near good enough for her. Even though this relationship has barely begun, I don’t want to let her go.
I want to keep her with me.
I want this to grow into something more.
Air leaks from my lungs as those thoughts churn through my brain.
This is the first time I’ve ever wanted something permanent.
And Juliette?
She doesn’t think this is a relationship. If you asked her, she’d say that I’m helping her check items off a list. Somehow, I’ll have to convince her that this is so much more than either of us anticipated.
But I’ll have to be cagey about it.
Maybe trick her into thinking we’re just casually chilling and then, when the time is right, I’ll spring it on her that this is a relationship and lock her ass down tight.
I glance at the clock on the nightstand. It’s not even six in the morning and already my brain is spinning.
This is exactly what that girl does to me.
Before I can concoct a solid plan, I decide to use the bathroom. It’s carefully that I ease from the bed so as not to wake her before rising to my feet. I can’t help but glance at the pretty picture Juliette makes. The sheet has slipped down her chest and her delectable nipples are clearly on display. My mouth waters as a tortured groan rumbles up from my chest with the need to suck the rosy little tips into my mouth.
The second I return, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Then I’ll slip deep inside the heat of her body. Even the thought is enough to stiffen me right up.
I scour the floor for my boxers before spotting them crumpled in the corner. We came home last night and immediately tore each other’s clothing off before falling into bed and making love twice.
That thought is enough to give me pause.
When have I ever considered sex love?
Never. Not one damn time.
My gaze slides back to Juliette as she continues to snore softly, oblivious to the thoughts circling through my brain. Her cupid’s bow of a mouth is parted as her chest rises and falls rhythmically. That’s all it takes for my heart to clench, squeezing so hard it becomes painful, because that’s exactly what it was.
For the first time in my life, I didn’t have sex.
I made love.
I was more concerned with her orgasm and giving her every bit of pleasure that I could than getting off myself. Those thoughts are like a revelation as I drag a hand over my face and swing away, heading toward the door.
Looks like we’ll be having that convo sooner rather than later. I need her to realize this is serious.
We’re serious.
Decision made, I crack open the door and peek into the hallway. Until we sit down and hash out the state of our relationship, I need to keep this on the down low. Although, moving forward, that’ll need to change. I don’t want to continue sneaking around like we have something to hide. In the beginning, it was all fine and good.
Kind of fun.
But now?
I want everyone to know that Juliette belongs to me.
I’m her man.
