Falling Away

I licked my sandpaper lips. “I want you in my mouth, too.”

 

And then he plunged his tongue inside me, and I shot off the bed, throwing my head back.

 

“Jax, fuck!” I screamed, squirming under his assault. “It’s too much!”

 

“Juliet?” I heard my name being called from somewhere, but I didn’t care.

 

Grabbing Jax’s hair, I held him to my seriously overheated and throbbing clit, seeing the flesh of my nipples pebble and my breasts bob back and forth with my movements. He dipped his tongue inside me, making me contract and release. I needed more. I needed him.

 

He trailed his tongue out of my * and started French-kissing my clit right before he slid a finger inside me.

 

My head dropped to one side, and I started gasping and fucking his finger, not fucking caring that I was shameless or that Jax wasn’t even my boyfriend.

 

“Jax,” I moaned. “Oh, my God.”

 

“Jax?” I heard someone repeat. “Juliet, are you okay?”

 

My eyes snapped open, and my face flushed with heat.

 

“Oh, my God,” I whispered, looking down at Jax’s laughing eyes as he kissed my clit.

 

“Juliet?” Shane called again from the other side of the locked door.

 

Jax arched an amused eyebrow. “Come on. Let her hear how wild you are. How much you’re fucking enjoying this.”

 

In and out, his finger plunged, back and forth. So good, and the itch was right there hanging on the edge. I was almost there. His tongue was tireless, going at me, licking and sucking me. In, out, lick, taste, bite.

 

“Ah,” I gasped. “Oh, God!”

 

Then I came, shocks exploding below my belly as I grappled the comforter over my head. I jerked into him, sucking in air and rolling my hips into his fingers, needing everything he had to give me.

 

More. I swallowed and looked down at him with blurry eyes.

 

I wanted more. More of him.

 

“Juliet!” The doorknob jiggled, and I grabbed the T-shirt I slept in off the top of the bed.

 

Sitting up and slipping it on, I caught Jax just as he pulled me into him for a kiss. Kneeling between my legs, he cupped my face and held my mouth to his. Slow and sweet.

 

Pulling back and tilting his forehead into mine, he closed his eyes. I watched in silence as his eyebrows pinched together, and he looked as though he was sad about something or thinking about something important.

 

He pulled back, shaking his head and letting out a sigh. “Shit,” he mumbled, barely a whisper.

 

“What?” I asked quietly, suddenly feeling as if I’d done something wrong.

 

“Nothing,” he breathed out, running his hand through his hair. “I just …” He hesitated, looking away and then back at me. “I just never thought the real thing would live up to the fantasy, you know?” He tipped up the corner of his mouth in a smile. “Hope you like summer fun, Juliet, because it’s just getting started.”

 

And I watched as he stood up, unlocked the bedroom door, and walked past Shane’s stunned face and frozen body.

 

Summer fun? I felt a mischievous smile cross my lips. So he thought he pulled all the strings, and that he had me.

 

I almost snorted.
