The sensation of the sun beating on my body and the stimulation to my sex was completely otherworldly. I could barely keep my grip while he moved me back and forth against his mouth. My screams of unabashed pleasure filled the air when I came all over his face.
I was barely coherent when Jace flipped me over, so my arms were crossed but still gripping the ladder. Moving behind me, he held on to my calves and stepped on the bottom rung in between my legs. The crown of his cock pressed against my opening and he pushed all the way into me until I was completely full. Using the leverage of my legs, he balanced on the step and rocked me back and forth on his hard length. My nipples were diamond hard and crazily sensitive because of the movement against the rippling water.
Jace moaned my name and picked up the pace, changing angles until his cock dragged deliciously and repeatedly against the jackpot of nerves inside me. I whined when my inner walls convulsed against his shaft. He let go of my calves, gripped my hips, and slammed into me until I couldn’t tell my parts from his. I couldn’t stop coming, it was hard for me to tell if it was one long orgasm or multiples, but sex with him had never felt so intense.
Our cries of passion and pleasure were so loud, there was no possible way the staff and all the neighbors within a two-mile vicinity couldn’t have heard.
I didn’t even think about that until later.
Eventually, we came to Earth. Jace pulled out and cupped my exposed breasts until we found our footing on the floor of the pool. I turned in his arms and our lips met. He drew me flush to him by my waist. My arms encircled his neck as we kissed.
Jace looked down at me, his hair dripping down his face, his green eyes sparkling in the sunlight. “I really do love you.”
“I really do love you.” I nestled into his neck. I meant it, but I was unable to look him in the eye.
By then the sun had fallen behind the trees surrounding the villa. The pool felt more chilly than refreshing, and goosebumps broke out on my arms. Ever the gentleman, Jace jumped out of the water and grabbed the oversized beach towel that he wrapped around me when I climbed up our sex ladder. Fastening a towel around his waist, we walked back to our bedroom arm in arm.
After our loud pool activities, Jace sent away the staff—but not before ensuring that our fridge and cupboards were stocked with basic supplies. This left us truly alone. Our chemistry was like wildfire, we had sex whenever the mood struck. Considering we were always naked, the mood struck often. We joked that we were living in a sex bubble because we never once left the villa grounds the entire week of our stay.
It was the first time Jace and I had a long stretch of time together alone with no other distractions. While I felt I knew him well, I learned small bits of information about his future plans and life outside of the band.
He mentioned settling in Seattle and wanting to start a family someday. I shared my own plans of buying acreage somewhere remote and opening my own horse rescue.
Oh, how I wished things were different.
As much as I adored Jace, those moments together were bittersweet because we just didn’t have the same idea of what the future held.
Chapter 13
JACE
My thoughts were on a continuous loop about how much I wanted Alex in my future.
Permanently.
Several times when we were at the villa, I nearly put all my cards on the table. Something held me back. Mainly, I sensed—or maybe worried—that she didn’t feel the same way. Or maybe, she wasn’t quite ready. It didn’t matter. My own uncertainty kept me from expressing my true feelings.
My friends-with-benefits relationship history and more than five years on the road failed to provide me with any clue how to successfully ask for what I wanted.
I knew I was falling into old habits by keeping my true feelings inside. Our attraction to each other was off the charts, and I didn’t want to do anything to ruin it. We literally could not stop having sex.
I couldn’t keep my hands off her.
She couldn’t keep her hands off me.
I wasn’t about to do or say anything that would spoil our long-awaited time together. Enjoying the hell out of her banging body in every room and in every position, was so much better than dealing with stupid feelings.
By our last night in the villa, I knew I wanted her—no, I needed her—to know how I felt.
We were out by the pool under heat lamps, naked in the moonlight. My golden girl was sprawled in front of me, wrapped in my arms in the cushy lawn chair. “I don’t want this to end, Alex.”
“I don’t either, but—” Her blue eyes seemed even bluer when illuminated by the water.
“No buts.”
“Jace, it’s not realistic.” Alex tried to squiggle away, but I kept her flush against me. “You’re already tied up for the next two years!”
“You can come with me.” I pleaded. “Let’s out ourselves.”
“I can’t just come with you.” Alex blew out a frustrated breath. “You know this. Don’t ask for something that isn’t even possible.”
“Let me talk to management, at some point I need to be able to have a life.” I was frustrated too. Did being a successful dude in a rock band really mean I couldn’t be with the woman I loved?
“I don’t want to be in a relationship when we are away from each
