Chuckling, I nuzzle my cheek against the inside of her thigh. “Never too much.”
Slow circles of my tongue against that sensitive bud, another finger to her pussy. I work slowly and build my girl up until she’s a writhing, moaning, begging mess. “Please, Callum.”
Lifting my head, I look up to see her head thrashing back and forth. “Please what?”
“Finish me off,” she demands, glaring down at me.
My mouth lifts at the corner and I incline my head. “As my Titan Queen desires.”
Juni snickers and then groans as I bring my mouth back to her center. It may have been years and years since I’ve done this to her, but I haven’t forgotten a single nuance of how her body works. I know exactly how much pressure, where to touch and how fast to go. It takes mere seconds of intense focus on her and she’s exploding with pleasure.
Often when going down on her, I’d help prolong her orgasm with some continued tongue action but fuck, I want to be inside her now. I surge up her body, drawing one of her legs around my hips, but I’m caught up short when Juniper yells, “No!”
Her hands are on my chest but I don’t need that pressure to stop my actions. The minute she said no, I froze.
“What’s wrong?” I ask, seeing the haze of pleasure and release gone from her eyes, replaced by something that flips my stomach.
Juniper shakes her head. “I… um…”
I wait patiently, but her mouth clamps shut. I lower her leg, bring a palm to her cheek. “Juni… what is it?”
“We… um… we have to use a condom.”
My entire body sags in relief. I had thought the worst… that maybe there had been some sort of abuse by Joshua that would make sex difficult for her. “Okay… that’s fine. I’ve got some.”
The spell is broken though and Juniper scrambles out from under me, scooting up to the top of the bed and drawing her knees to her chest. She peers over them at me, long dark hair falling around her shoulders.
I lower onto my stomach then roll to my side. My head is near her hips and I trace a finger down her leg. “Because of Joshua?” I ask.
She nods, red staining her cheeks. “He was unfaithful, and well… I really need to get tested, I guess.”
“It’s fine, Juniper,” I reassure her. “You can get tested, but we can use condoms. Honestly, it’s the smart thing to do. I should have grabbed one anyway, just to reassure you because you don’t know my past—”
“—and I don’t want to know it,” she inserts. “I mean… I’m good without knowing about your past partners.”
“I’ve always been safe,” I tell her. “Always. But I’ll get tested too, okay?”
“I feel like an idiot,” she says softly, wrapping her arms tighter around her shins. “I made things weird.”
“Hey.” I stroke my palm along her calf. “Don’t do that to yourself. You’ve done nothing wrong and nothing is weird. This is all normal stuff.”
“No, I know,” she says with a frustrated sigh. “It’s just… I broke the magic we had going on with my insecurities.”
“Oh, I’ll get the magic back,” I promise with a lewd smile. “That won’t take any time at all.”
Juniper’s lips twitch and a sparkle of amusement tells me I’m already getting her back. She takes my hand, laces our fingers together and stares at it briefly before her eyes come to mine. “You’ve always made me feel safe.”
“Not always,” I admit ruefully, studying our hands. “But I won’t fail you again.”
“No, I don’t think you will. You’ve rescued me. Gave me a new life. Saved my father.”
I don’t know if Juniper will ever tell me she loves me again. I don’t know what it will take for her to get there, but I can feel the emotion in her words. The way her fingers flex against mine as if to punctuate the sentiment.
I release her for a second. “Be right back.”
I head straight for my bathroom where I have a box of condoms under the sink. Admittedly, it’s been awhile since I’ve needed one. Life’s been busy. While I do date (and yes, fuck when the connection is there), I know as I grab a foiled packet that going forward, all of these will be for only one woman.
When I return to the bed, Juniper doesn’t attempt to cover her body, but I see a bit of shyness in her expression as she stares at the item in my hand.
“Let’s try this again,” I murmur, pulling her into my arms so we’re lying face-to-face. Her legs thread through mine, our torsos pressed tight. Her breath fans against my face, a lilting sigh of contentment.
I want to give her power, so she still sees that it’s only her I’ll ever want. I press the condom into her hand. “We’ll both get tested but there’s no rush. Until then, we’ll use these.”
