Chapter 74

Jack

After making Juno orgasm several times, each in a different erotic way, I couldn't take it any longer. My cock was hard, throbbing, and I was pretty sure I was only going to need to slide into her wet, slick, hot pussy to blow my load.

I needed some relief, but I was determined not to screw this up. I'd fucked up enough earlier in the day, pushing her the way I had. Every inch of me was desperate for her to trust me, but it had taken a reminder from Kai that trust was earned before I could see how I'd screwed up.

As Juno came down to earth in my arms for the third time, she shifted slightly and rubbed against my hardness just enough that I involuntarily moaned. It drew her attention, and she glanced down at my throbbing member.

A wicked look appeared on her face before she slid downward.

"I think you've waited long enough," she said before gently running her fingers along the tip.

A moment later, she wrapped her lips around me, and I had to grab the pillow and try to think of anything else not to fill her mouth with cum. Fighting for control, I closed my eyes and started focusing on adding random numbers, not sure what else to do.

She ran her tongue around my head, making it even harder, but I managed to cool slightly, enjoying the sensations as she worked on me as gently as I had on her.

Although this hadn't been what I'd had in mind to finally enjoy her, I wasn't going to say no to the pleasure nor the relief I'd eventually let her bring me.

And she worked me slowly, easing her tongue around my head a few more times before she took me deeper into her mouth, almost as if she knew the struggle I was having and was determined to help me.

I moaned as she took me deep in her mouth and then eased me back out, returning to my head to lick and suck. Although I lasted as long as I could, it was only a few minutes before I was filling her mouth with my salty cum. She swallowed each mouthful as I gave it to her, the motion pleasuring me further.

Coming back down, my mind clearing, I vowed to do whatever it took to make Juno feel safe with me. She was perfect in every way, and I wanted to keep her in my life and in my bed.

With both of us sated yet again, I pulled Juno into my arms, and we slept, everything feeling like it was going in the right direction. As long as she happily stayed when the others left in the morning, I knew we would be together for a while.

Juno was still sleeping peacefully when I woke, her body curled up and angelic in every way. Her breathing was calm and steady, clearly still in a deep sleep, so I opted to leave her, pulling on some clothes and heading down to make us some breakfast.

I found Kai in the kitchen, frowning deeply.

"What is it?" I asked, knowing that few things made him look so serious.

"This thing with Juno's agent. He's still digging his heels in. I don't get it. Did Juno really tell him to back off? Because he's telling me that he's only doing what she wants at this point, and if he insists on this, we won't be giving everyone else their usual cut."

I sighed, rubbing my hand along my chin.

"I'll talk to her, but I'm getting to the point where I just want it done," I said. "If he doesn't back down any further, take the cut from me and make sure everyone else gets paid what they're worth."

"Are you sure?" Kai asked, his gaze searching me.

"Yeah. If she did all this for money, it's my fault. I brought her into this. I should be the one to lose out, not the rest of them. Take it off my cut, but I'll try and get her to be reasonable first." I exhaled as I spoke, resigned to the possibility that I'd made another big mistake.

I was still reeling as Kai walked away to finish helping Alma pack, and I focused on preparing Juno and me breakfast. Not sure what else to do, I decided to continue giving her the benefit of the doubt for now. But I wasn't going to put up with lies either.

I was about to go upstairs with a tray of food when Eve appeared.

"I'm glad you're up," she said as she came forward, rubbing her hands as if she was nervous about something.

I lifted an eyebrow and waited for her to explain what she wanted.

"I've been trying to decide if I should say something, but…I think you ought to know."

"Know what?" I asked, immediately putting the tray back down.

"The first full day we were here. Liam didn't want to say anything because nothing ended up happening, but…"

"What?" I demanded, feeling more than a little angry already. I had a feeling I knew where this was going.

"Juno started hitting on Liam when she found him alone a few times. He said he made it clear he wasn't interested while she was yours, and she backed off every time someone else came along, but…" Eve trailed off, looking almost nervous as she spoke.

I tensed and tried to think of a calm, measured response, but it took me a moment to control myself.

"Thank you for telling me," I said. "I'm glad to know."

Eve smiled, a strange light in her eyes as she nodded.

"Sorry," she said as she turned to go. "I know you like her. I only hope someone comes along who doesn't break your heart."

I watched her go, unable to move for a moment. Was she telling the truth? Had Juno really been coming onto Liam when no one else was looking? I wasn't sure, my mind searching through everything I'd seen over the weekend.

There had definitely been times when Juno had talked to Liam, and he'd offered to teach her how to play bass. But had she wanted more?

Feeling like Juno and I had a lot to talk about, I grabbed the tray and made my way upstairs. Most of the others had their room doors open, busy packing up and getting ready to leave. I noticed Eve had returned to the room she was sharing with Liam, but I couldn't see him.

Kai was helping Alma, and the rest were farther along the hallway.

With no other reason to delay, I opened the door to the main bedroom and walked in. I shut it behind me, not sure what state I'd find Juno in. She was still in bed, although she stirred as I came in.

Her gaze took in the breakfast tray, and she beamed at me, no idea what I'd just been told about her.

"Oh, you're a darling," she declared, emphasizing the last word again, her eyes twinkling in delight. "You're going to make me feel spoiled at this rate."

I moved over to the bed and set the tray down beside her. She reached up to me and placed a kiss firmly on my lips.

"Last night was amazing. Thank you so much for understanding and helping me feel safe with you," she said, her words surprising me with their intensity. "I don't feel anywhere near worried about staying with you now."

Her words sent a thrill of delight through me. How could she be anything but genuine when she was being so vulnerable with me? How could anything Kai or Eve said be true? How could this woman be doing anything but slowly giving herself over to me?

I moaned into the kiss, wanting to push her onto the bed, part her legs, and claim her for myself. Instead, I pulled back.

"We should eat breakfast and then say goodbye to the others. After that, we can do whatever we want."
