Chapter 16: Josie

Chapter Sixteen

JOSIE

I let out a small gasp when Mick thrusts fully inside of me. The sting of pain is fleeting and fades away as Mick presses kisses gently to my face. I’ve dreamt of this moment so many times. How it would feel for him to kiss me and be inside of me. But none of those dreams could ever come close to the real thing.

“Open those eyes for me, babe.” I open them to meet his. He’s close enough that even in the dark, I can still see him. “There you go.” A tentative smile pulls at his lips. “Tell me something, Jojo.” I know what he’s asking. He wants to make sure that I’m okay. That's what Mick is always trying to do.

“I like it when you call me babe.” It makes me feel special. That I’m different to him than anyone else.

“Well, babe. You feel like fucking heaven.” He pulls out a few inches to thrust back in. I let out a moan this time. Now there is only pleasure. I feel so full and like Mick is surrounding me everywhere. I want to take it all in. To drown in him.

“Please. More,” I plead, barely getting the words out. I’ve never needed anything more than I need him at this moment. It feels like I’ve waited an eternity for this to come to fruition, and I plan on enjoying every single second of it.

“You never have to beg me, Jojo,” Mick growls moments before he picks up his pace. I may have no clue what I’m doing, but my body’s natural instinct takes over. I move my hips to match his rhythm. My body welcomes him more with each thrust.

I slide my hands up his broad chest. The man is all muscle. I marvel in the feel of him. I could spend my whole life touching him, exploring every single inch of him and never wanting to let go.

“Fuck, you’re so damn tight,” he grits out as he starts to move even quicker. With each thrust, he hits a spot deep inside of me. My legs tighten on either side of his body as they start to tremble. “Josie.” This time it’s him that pleads my name with so much need.

It pulls me under, the orgasm sweeping through my whole body. My sex locks down around his cock. Mick lets out a loud groan, thrusting to the hilt inside of me. His release spills deep inside of me before his body goes lax on top of me. He buries his face in my neck. Both of our breaths are heavy as we try to catch them.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in shape? Why are you out of breath?” I tease, trailing my fingers up his back.

“You always take my breath away, Jojo.” I snort a laugh. This is one of the reasons I love Mick. He always puts me at ease with his sense of humor.

“You’re so full of it.”

“Nah.” He lifts his head. “You’re full of it.” To prove his point, he pulls almost all the way out before thrusting back in.

“Mick.” I gasp, gripping his shoulders.

“I love how you say my name when you’re turned on.” There goes that love word again. I haven’t really had time to process that both of us professed our love for one another earlier. “Say it again,” Mick demands. I push all of my thoughts to the back of my mind, wanting to stay in the moment with him. I don’t need to be getting inside my own head right now.

“Mick.” I moan as he starts to move again inside of me. This time it’s slower. Both of our hands roam over each other, our mouths trailing against one another anywhere we can reach. When I come, Mick is right there with me, holding me close.

He rolls, taking me with him so I’m sprawled out on his chest. I feel a tear slip free. “Hey.” Mick’s hold on me tightens.

“I’m okay,” I whisper against his chest. “You didn’t hurt me,” I add, knowing that is where his mind will go. “I’m just kind of overwhelmed.” I sniffle.

“Because you’ve been alone too long.” I nod. He gets it, but he always did get me in ways no one else ever did. “That shit is over, Josie. I’ve been playing nice. Now that you gave me a taste of us, there is no going back. You’ll see what I’ve been holding back if you fight me on this.”

“I didn’t know you felt the same way. I mean, maybe when we were in high school but not now.”

“What the hell has changed from high school except for your tits getting bigger and your hips filling out? Driving me more insane.” He mutters the last part, making me laugh.

“I didn’t think you knew I had tits!” He never checked me out. That I recall. “You’ve always been a gentleman.”

“You wouldn’t say that shit if you knew the things I fantasized about with you always in the starring role.”

I keep my face pressed to his chest. The darkness allows me to speak more freely. “If you’ve always felt this way, why didn’t you say something?” All these years.

“Because I was a bumbling poor kid who lived next door. While you were the hip girl that drove all the boys crazy.” I roll my eyes even though he can’t see me. I wasn’t rich either, but Mick always worried about money. My father wasn’t always the best, but I had the basics.

“I did not. In fact, some hated me.”

“Yeah, because you kicked their asses at video games and wouldn’t glance their way.”

“I always kicked your ass in video games,” I point out.

“That you did. I only learned to play to have the pleasure of you doing so.”

“The pleasure of me beating your ass?” I laugh harder.

“Those dumbasses got mad. I was playing the long game.”

“The long game.” I shake my head at him.

“Look where it got me.” His hand slides to my bare ass, giving it a slap.

“You’re terrible.”

“That so?” He flips me over to my back, caging me under him. Jesus, he can move quickly. “Let's see how terrible I really am.” Mick slides down my body, settling in between my legs. His mouth brushes against the top of my mound. “I won’t stop until you're begging me to,” he promises before burying his face between my thighs, proving he’s the furthest thing from terrible.

In fact, he’s pretty fucking spectacular.
