Chapter 48

Juno

Still trapped beneath Jack, I tried not to panic as he grew hard again and made it plain he wasn't done with me. He'd already screwed me hard once, and while I'd very much enjoyed it after the night before and the way we'd ended it, Jack was so dark and brooding sometimes that I didn't know how to feel around him.

It was clear he wanted me, but he was also as reluctant to trust as I was. Could we find a way to open up to each other?

I had no idea. But I wanted to try. And it made me feel better to know he hadn't given up on me either.

Exhaling, I persuaded my body to relax and enjoy being his; after all, he'd saved me twice now. What could be so bad about giving in to his desires again and again?

His mouth pressing against mine took my focus off me, and his hands ran over my body, stoking the fire deep inside. Instantly, desire rippled through me, his manhood almost entirely hard, filling me still.

Not sure how he could be so still inside me and so turned on. I marveled at his calm. It was taking all my self-control not to buck my hips against him and encourage him to begin thrusting into me again.

Shifting one of his hands, he wound it into my hair and tugged my head back, exposing my neck.

Trailing kisses down my skin, he heated me up again before slowly beginning to move within me. I moaned, totally vulnerable in a way I would normally have been terrified of but desperate for him to keep going.

I wanted him so completely that I tried to reach for him again. A smirk flickered across his face as he held my hands still and made it clear he was in control.

"Relax, Juno," he whispered before kissing my neck again. "You just need to give in and let me take you with me."

Closing my eyes for a moment, I exhaled and tried to will my body to do what he asked, each muscle fighting me. No sooner had a part of me relaxed than Jack shifted and claimed the advantage to pin me further.

At the same time, he thrust even deeper, reminding me he was already claiming me completely. I could be no more vulnerable, not truly.

Slowly, we moved together, taking our time, his hardness making me feel full and hungry for more. His powerful body made me feel both safe and nervous at the same time, the combination adding to the emotions until I was so wet and nearing my peak that I would have given him anything.

Before I could orgasm, he pulled out of me. I mewled, trying to reach for him and pull him back toward me.

"Not yet," he said. "I don't want you to come yet. Not until I tell you that you can."

No words would come out of my mouth. I'd never been deliberately denied before. My pussy felt wet and hungry for him, the emptiness worse with having had his hard cock deep inside me.

Gently, he brought himself back to my entrance, the slight pressure of his manhood making me mewl again.

"Ask me to fuck you," Jack said a few seconds later, one hand still pinning my arms and the other pulling my head back farther. "Beg me to finish what I've started."

"Please," I said without hesitation. "I want you in me."

"All the way?" His gaze met mine, and I saw the deep desire in his eyes.

"As deep as you can," I replied. "Please, Jack. Take me."

Smug, grinning, and completely in control, he thrust down and back into me. I moaned, the pleasure so intense and everything I wanted from it that I almost tipped straight into the perfect oblivion of an orgasm.

He stilled a moment and I remembered that he had told me to wait until I had permission. It took all my self-control to stay in this limbo state, waiting for him to give me his command.

"Come for me, sweetheart," he whispered, thrusting deep inside me at the same time.

I couldn't have disobeyed him if I'd wanted to, waves of pleasure tearing through me and making me groan his name. While I came down, Jack thrust hard and fast to finish himself off.

Letting out a moan of his own, he thrust deep one last time and filled me with his cum.

Slowly, we returned to Earth together, his grip on me relaxing until I was cradled in his arms, our mouths finding each other and kissing again and again.

As he rolled to one side, I followed, keeping my body close to his. A moment later, my stomach rumbled, and he chuckled.

"We should make ourselves decent and get breakfast. Although I'm pretty sure Alma and Kai are going to know what we have been up to in here," Jack said, not letting go of me despite his words.

"I'm pretty sure they already knew what we were going to get up to," I replied, smiling. I didn't care, and I knew they wouldn't, but I looked around the room and realized we'd trashed the bed.

My glance seemed to break whatever spell had kept us entwined. Jack slipped away from me, and we got up. He didn't leave me by myself for long, however. Within another second, he had me on my feet.

I let him lead me to the shower, where we washed each other, taking our time on that as well.

It felt good not to need to rush anywhere, every other morning we'd been together cut short by something one of us needed to do or somewhere we needed to be.

But no matter how good it felt or how much he was there with me, I felt as if I'd let him down the night before. Let myself down, too. Fear had got the better of me.

If Jack was still bothered by it, he didn't show it as we went to join Alma and Kai, Jack only pausing to check his phone and reply to messages a few times while we dressed.

More than a little grateful that we'd brought overnight bags with us, I put on fresh clothes and brushed my teeth before I slipped my hand into Jack's again.

"Please tell me not everyone who was at the party is staying for brunch," I said as we made our way down the stairs, leaving the bedroom and bed in the 'we'd just been seriously fucking' state we'd created over the morning.

Jack chuckled and shook his head.

"It'll just be some of the band. Everyone else will have gone home already or still be in one of the other houses."

I exhaled, relieved that I wouldn't be seeing Logan again. He'd made me feel so sick, and I didn't want the reminder that he could be trying to push me for something I wasn't willing to give him. He'd not appeared to understand the word no, and I knew the fear he'd made me feel had translated into my night with Jack.

Maybe another time, I'd be able to say yes to Jack's request, but I already feared I wouldn't be asked again. The look on Jack's face had implied that it meant a lot, and he'd been hurt by my lack of trust in him.

"There you two are. I was beginning to consider sending Kai over to find out if you were lost in that bed over there or just each other," Alma said as we walked into the main house.

I felt my cheeks flush, but the warmth in her smile as she looked me over briefly made me feel less self-conscious.

"Come on, I've got plenty of brunch left, even if the two of you are the last to come looking."

Relaxing at the familiar way I slotted into the group and finding several of the other band members still in the dining room, I decided to try and trust that, for now, I was in a good place. I'd been accepted as one of the band's partners. And everyone was treating me like I was here to stay for a while.
