Gifted Connections 1

Noah and Stacey had slipped away a while ago, so it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out where they went off too. Stacey was like a cat in heat and was basically undressing him before they had even left the room.

Drake had grabbed my hand and kissed it as they left the room. He must have noticed my discomfort, and wanted to soothe me. He was so sweet.

At one point, Jax got up yelping. From the way Rachel and Jemmy were grinning conspiratorially, I had a feeling they did something to him that may have made him feel uncomfortable, because he moved to sit beside Drake. When the girls motioned for him to sit by him, he shook his head vigorously. I was torn between feeling annoyed and amused. Jax was my connected. Jemmy knew that. I understood she liked pushing limits, but sometimes some boundaries needed to be respected.

I made a mental note to talk to her later. Jax was tolerant, outgoing, and a flirt, so if something had made him feel uncomfortable, it couldn’t have been good.

The girls didn’t even make it through the whole movie. Jace volunteered to help me carry them up to the room. I told myself to make sure they brushed their teeth in the morning. I wasn’t going to wake them to brush their teeth now. I was glad I had the forethought to have them put on their pajamas before we started the movie.

I made sure to tuck them in before I left the room.

When I turned to close their door softly, Jace was leaning against the wall waiting for me. Before I knew it, I was pushed up against the wall and his lips were hungry on mine. I didn’t hesitate as I pulled him closer, opening my mouth so I could taste him.

“Want to come back to my room?” I whispered thickly.

“I thought you would never ask,” he replied huskily as he lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, feeling his desire near my core.

We didn’t have sex that night, but we explored each other until I was exhausted with satisfaction. He was a selfless, thorough lover and I was glad he got over his reservations about us.

Chapter 25

I woke up refreshed. No nightmares had haunted me the night before and Jace had stayed by my side the whole night. He had wrapped

his large body around me all night and I felt so protected and cared for.

I heard his cell phone vibrating and knew it was what must have woken me up. I gently shook his shoulder and dropped a kiss on his neck, lingering on the spot I had found last night.

“Your phone’s ringing,” I whispered softly when I felt him stir.

“Mmm kay,” he mumbled sleepily before pulling me on top of him. “I can’t get enough of you. I want more.”

He had such sexy bedroom eyes and I wanted to strip for him right then and there and tell him to take me. Instead, I rubbed my core against his hard heat and smiled in satisfaction when he moaned, tensing beneath me. I continued to rub against him, the silk of his boxers against the soft fabric of my underwear causing a delicious friction.

“I feel like a horny teenager around you,” he took control of my hips, moving my core faster against his heat.

It didn’t take long for my body to start trembling and that heat from within to build to a raging inferno.

“Ahh,” I moaned throwing my head back.

“Let go, sweetie, let go,” his voice was thick, and I knew he was as close as I was.

I rubbed harder against him and finally let go. It was such a wondrous feeling and I finally understood why people enjoyed the act so much. I could get use to this feeling of floating and languidness.

We were getting dressed after another shower when his phone went off once more. He reluctantly went to go answer it and I had to stop and watch him as he casually leaned over my bed, wearing nothing but his towel. He was an amazing specimen to behold.

“Hello,” he answered. “Yeah, I was a little busy,” he winked at me. It surprised me because he really wasn’t a winker. “No man. I told you the last time, I didn’t want to do it anymore. I know. I know. Okay, but seriously this is the last time.”

He hung up his phone with a frown. “I have a job to do.” He said quietly.

I frowned. “I understand, but that kind of sucks. My first gig is tonight, and we got a sitter for Ella so everyone could come.” I sank down on the side of the bed.

He came around to my side of the bed and knelt in front of me. “I know, sweetie. I really wanted to be there to see it in person and not through a video.” He leaned in and gave me a passionate kiss.

I ran my hands through his damp hair. “It’s fine. It’s your job. I know you guys need to go when duty calls.”

He kissed me once more. “Thank you for being so understanding.”

Jace left shortly afterwards and I dressed in my yoga pants, a sports bra, and a tank top. I wasn’t sure who was going running with me, but I knew they would probably be waiting by now. I checked on the girls and got them dressed in their swimsuits. They were excited to get in the pool, but I told them they had to wait until they ate breakfast first.
