The Billionaire's Dance(14)

"I'll give her a call. She already told me she could begin tomorrow." He  left the room and Jessica was a little nervous with how quickly things  were moving along.

The rest of the afternoon and evening flew by. Alex spent most of his  time in his home office and Jacob was fussy, requiring all of Jessica's  attention. She was grateful to have gotten the nap in, because she had a  feeling it was going to be a very long night.

Alex helped her walk Jacob around during the evening. She was trying to  stay unattached but he made it very difficult when he was amazing.         

     



 

Around nine that evening Jacob's fever broke and he finally fell asleep.  Both Alex and Jessica were happy he was feeling better and breathed  sighs of relief as they stared down at their sleeping child.

The crying didn't bother either of them. They just felt powerless with  their son not feeling good and not being able to do more than walk him.

"He's cutting his first tooth and it's hard on him. I think the worst of  it's over now," she said, in explanation of Jacob's illness.

"I wish there was more I could do," Alex replied.

"I know. But the best thing to do is cuddle him and walk around. He  enjoys the motion and I think getting to look around helps him to not  feel the pain."

"Let's go to bed. I'm exhausted," Alex said, while he turned towards their bedroom.

Jessica hesitated. Alex had said he wouldn't push her into anything but  she knew he didn't really have to push. She wasn't sure if she was ready  yet to share a bed with him. She'd already involved her feelings way  too much into the marriage and was afraid to hand over her entire heart.

"Jessica, we aren't going to do anything you don't want to. Let's just  go to bed," he repeated to her. She could see the irritation in his eyes  and hear it in his voice. She knew he didn't like that he had to push  his wife into sleeping with him.

"Fine Alex, I agreed to this marriage so I'll share the bed. I'm sorry  if I misled you on the couch today but I don't want to have sex." She  finished talking and stepped ahead of him into the room. She grabbed her  favorite pajamas and went to the bathroom to change.

"You can try to run but you want this just as much as I do," Alex  whispered, far too quietly for Jessica to hear. He knew it was going to  be a long night. He was determined to have her come to him though. He  knew it wouldn't take long.

Alex climbed into bed, wearing nothing but boxer shorts. He only kept  those on out of deference to her. He preferred to sleep in the nude. He  was lying on his back, with his hands under his head and the covers were  only pulled up to his waist.

Jessica took a deep breath at the sight of him when she walked out of  the bathroom. He was unbelievably sexy. He had the perfect amount of  muscles, rippling with each movement he made. His stomach was hard and  defined and the trail of hair on his lower stomach disappeared under the  blanket, causing her mouth to water. She wanted to trail her fingers  over him, finding all his favorite spots. Even as exhausted as she was  feeling, she knew she'd be lucky to get any sleep lying there next to  him.

He said nothing to her but followed her every move as she slowly walked  to her side of the bed. She quickly jumped under the covers, turning  away from him, hugging the edge of the bed like it was a lifeboat. She  pulled the covers up to her chin and started counting sheep. He flicked  off the bedside lamp and before she knew it, exhaustion took her into  blissful nothingness.

Alex lay there, hard and aching. He knew if he reached out and pulled  her close, she would easily succumb to him. But he didn't want to coerce  her. He wanted her to come to him willingly. If that meant he needed to  take a few cold showers while he waited then that's what he'd do. He  finally drifted into a restless sleep.



Alex woke up with Jessica pressed up against him. He was lying on his  back with her facing him. Her leg was wrapped over both of his and her  arm was around his lower stomach. Her head was resting on his shoulder,  placing her mouth mere inches away from his own.

He glanced at the clock, noticing it was midnight. They'd been in bed  only a couple of hours. She must've drifted over to him in her sleep. He  was too tired and far too turned on to play the gentleman.

She started to stir and wiggled against him, causing his body to  physically jerk in the air. He could feel himself begin to pulse. He  wanted to bury himself deep inside of her and damn the consequences.

He turned so they were facing each other and his hands started roaming  over her body. She pushed into him, letting out a moan of pleasure,  starting to wake up. Her leg was still wrapped over him, though when he  turned it caused his erection to be centered on her core. Only a wisp of  fabric separating the two of them.

He ran his tongue over her bottom lip and her eyes parted slightly, at  the same time another moan escaped her lips. He then gripped the back of  her head and kissed her passionately. She woke up fully and kissed him  back just as urgently.

His hands began to explore her once again and he stopped the kiss long  enough to pull her nightgown over her head. He then resumed the kiss,  pulling her so tightly against him, not a wisp of air could've gotten  through. Her hips were moving against his erection and he was afraid  their lovemaking would end far too soon.         

     



 

He flipped her onto her back and moved his mouth down to her full  breasts. She arched her back as his tongue ran over her budded nipple.  He licked and caressed the fullness of her breasts, making her jerk  upward, seeking more. He wanted to give them far more attention but was  conscious of her nursing and knew too much play would cause problems.  Instead he ran his tongue down the center of them and then nibbled his  way across her stomach.

She was pleading with him to take her. He was close to doing just that  but he would make sure their time together was good for her too. The  only other time they'd made love, in the elevator, had ended far too  quickly.

He ripped the last barrier between them away from her body and then his  mouth was kissing her in the most intimate way possible. She jerked her  hips in the air as pleasure washed over her. "Alex please … " she cried  out.

He couldn't take any more, as he quickly shed his own shorts and then  poised over her. "You're so beautiful," he gasped, as he looked down  into her flushed face.

He thrust his tongue into her mouth at the same time he finally gave  them both what they wanted and submerged his engorged shaft deep within  her folds. She jerked her hips upward, wanting him even deeper. He  gladly obliged her unspoken request.

He could no longer hold anything back. He pushed into her fast and she  matched him thrust for thrust. She was panting and then suddenly cried  out. He felt her pulsing around him and he lost all control. He pushed  in one final time and then spilled deep inside of her.

With his last ounce of energy he turned onto his back, while pulling her  up close to his side. He wasn't letting her pull away from him again.  He'd broken his rule of making the first move but she hadn't offered any  form of resistance and they weren't taking steps back.

Neither of them said anything but after their breathing returned to  normal, he felt her trying to pull away. He just tightened his arms  around her. "Go back to sleep Jessica," he commanded. She gave up the  fight soon drifting off. He quickly followed her.





Chapter five





Jessica woke up and turned over. Ouch! She was sore. She sat up,  realizing she was alone in the very large bed. Her hands flew to her  face as she replayed the previous night in her mind. She and Alex had  made love, not only once but twice. The first time, when she'd woken up  plastered against him and the second time, after feeding Jacob and  laying back down.

There'd been no hesitation on her part. He'd reached for her and she'd  fallen instantly into his arms. How was she supposed to keep her  distance from the man when the second he touched her she melted? She was  relieved and saddened at the same time to find herself alone.

She quickly got up and checked on Jacob, who fortunately was still  sleeping. She had time to shower and work out her stiff muscles. She  hadn't done anything that physical in too long to remember.

She finally dressed, gathered Jacob and headed down the stairs. "Good  morning, Mrs. Anderson. I hope you slept well," Tina greeted her.

"I did. Thank you," she automatically replied.

"Mr. Anderson asked me to tell you he had to run into the office today  and would be gone all afternoon. He said the new nanny would arrive  around eight," she said, before placing Jessica's breakfast before her.

"Thank you."

Jessica fed Jacob while eating her own breakfast, then settled down in the den to wait for Julia, her new nanny.

Julia arrived early and got her room organized in no time. Jessica,  Julia and Jacob spent the day together around the house. Jessica  couldn't find any faults with Julia and had to admit it was very nice to  have an extra pair of hands to help with the baby. She eventually even  went to spend some time in the garden, without fear of not hearing  Jacob.
