Awakened (24 page)

“
It’s hard for me to trust,
Stefan. I do trust you, but….I don’t know. I walked in and saw her
and just assumed she was telling the truth. I didn’t see why she
would lie.”

“
So instead of coming to me
asking, you act like everything is fine all night and then at the
very end you just walk out of my house? How can we be in a
relationship when you won’t trust me or feel like you can talk to
me?”

“
Stefan, I’m sorry. What
else do you want me to say? I just don’t understand why you would
want to be with someone like me when you can have any woman you
want. What’s so special about me?” Stefan was standing so close
that I could feel his body heat.

“
I don’t know what it is
about you, but you bring out things inside of me that I am not use
too. I think about you constantly, I think about the way you
taste.” He brushed my hair with his hand. “You are beautiful,
Jennifer, inside and out and I don’t what to say or do to get you
to understand that.

“
Being without you this
last week made me crazy.” He had started pacing back and forth
again. “You do this to me. You make me just go insane when I’m not
with you.” He stopped and looked at me, waiting for a
response.

I walked the few steps that separated
us and let his mouth consume mine. He pressed his hands into my
lower back and squeezed me. It felt like it had been a lifetime
since I’d felt his lips on mine. I felt whole again with him
pressed against me.

He tore his body from mine and stood
there, running his hand through his hair.

“
What?”

He grabbed my arm, rather hard and
pulled me inside. Kennedy was sitting on the couch talking on the
phone. She looked up at us with a questioning look.

“
Jennifer is coming to my
house, she’ll call you later.” Stefan said grabbing my purse as we
walked out of the door. He put me in his car, got in and backed out
of the drive way. He drove across town to his apartment rather fast
and pulled in to the garage. As soon as we were out of the car, he
grabbed my arm again, leading me to the elevator. All I wanted to
do was listen to the fabric tearing as we peeled each other’s
clothes off and tasted every part of each other.

He didn’t loosen his grip on my arm as
we rode up the 19 floors. The door opened to the hallway of his
apartment and we walked to the front door and went inside. He
pulled me into his room and shut the door. He spun me around and
picked me up so I had to wrap my legs around his waist. He kissed
me with hunger and passion.

He slammed me into the wall next to
the door, my body arched in pleasure. After a moment he walked me
over to his bed and laid me down, unlocking our lips. He tore my
shirt, revealing my bra and bare stomach; he snapped my bra open
and cupped my breast in his hands, sucking on my nipples, making
them perk to attention. He tore my jeans off of me and my panties
were next.

I tried to calm my breathing, but
quickly gave up. It was no use; I was so lost in this moment with
him that nothing else mattered.

I turned him over and swept
my hair on one side on my head. Leaning down, I kissed him again,
showing him how badly I wanted this. I pulled his shirt up and over
his head, tossing it on the floor. He leaned up and I began to
unbutton his pants, pulling them off, followed by his boxer briefs.
We were wearing nothing but the emotions on our shoulders.
Everything was so raw between us.
This
is what I craved.

He rolled over; positioning me on top
of him. I lowered myself down his body with my tongue and fingers
until I found his shaft. I grazed my tongue around him as he sucked
in a breath. I took all of him in my mouth, listening to his moans
and groans. He grabbed my hair in his palms and tugged. I needed to
please him, it’s what pleased me.

“
Fuuuu…Jennifer…” He was
breathing harder now.

I continued to take him, deeper and
deeper, swirling my tongue around the tip while he guided my head
with his fist up and down.

“
Jennifer, baby…..stop….I
don’t want to come,” he breathed out. I did as I was told and he
pushed me over so he was on top of me. He crushed his body into me,
kissing me, tasting himself on me. I could feel his length grazing
my clit, making me so wet.

Before I knew it, he consumed me. He
shoved every inch of himself into me making me cry out in pain and
pleasure. He stopped and kissed me, with the same passion as
before. I grabbed his biceps and wrapped my legs around his waist.
He started thrusting again, faster than slowing down enough to soak
in the moment and feel everything.

“
Stefan, please…..oh
my….you feel so good!” I couldn’t think straight.

“
Do you like this Jennifer,
do you need this?” He asked, thrusting faster.

“
Yes…yes sir.” I breathed
out. He rewarded me by thrusting faster, deeper. I moaned and
listened to his breaths.

He paused and looked down into my
eyes, shifting his weight to allow his hand to brush the hair off
my face. “You are so beautiful.” He leaned down and kissed me. “I
love you, Jennifer.” For the first time, I saw exactly what I
needed from him in his eyes. I could never be with any other guy
besides him. He was my beautiful masterpiece.

“
I love you too, Stefan,” I
said, almost crying.

He started pushing deep inside me once
more, the passion burning between us. We lifted each other to the
edge of the cliff and then free fell down it, together.

Stefan lay on top of me, both of us
breathing heavily. He got up and went into the bathroom. I couldn’t
get up, I couldn’t move. All I wanted to do was sleep.

Stefan came back into the
bed, smelling of hot, sweet sex. We lay on top of the covers,
holding each other, breathing each other in. After a moment I let
sleep take over my body, dreaming of my life with Stefan as my
husband
.

Chapter Sixteen

Before I knew it, spring was upon us.
Stefan had been busy with both of his businesses. I was getting
ready for graduation and making sure I finished strong in all my
classes. Kennedy and Ayden were pretty much inseparable, spending
every waking moment together. They were already talking about
moving in with each other after we graduated but only if I moved in
with Stefan. I spent practically every night with him, but I was
still unsure about moving into his condo.

Anytime I wanted to get away for a
breather, I always had that option, but when I moved in, I could no
longer get away. And sometimes, I needed to escape, mainly because
his life could become too much for me; all the extravagant things
and all the money, sometimes it was just nice to sit in my room,
alone, and breathe.

“
Baby, what you thinking
about?” Stefan grabbed my hand as we rode to dinner to meet Kennedy
and Ayden.

“
Just everything that has
happened over the last couple of months, it’s all going by so fast.
I am ready to graduate and be done with school.” I squeezed his
hand and smiled at him.

“
Are you still thinking
about moving to Dallas with me?”

“
Yes, I’m still
thinking about it
.”

“
I hope you decide before
soon. I want you in my life, Jennifer.” I loved hearing him say
that, but I was still afraid of the commitment. Stefan had finally
gotten over the trust and commitment fears; he said it was because
of me and what I made him feel. He made me feel the same way but
after everything I had been through, it was a little harder to get
over.

We pulled up to the restaurant and
went inside. Ayden and Kennedy were locking lips at our table.
Stefan pulled me in close as I giggled at them. We set down at the
table and they immediately stopped and turned towards
us.

“
Hey man,” Ayden greeted
Stefan.

“
Hey.” Stefan
nodded.

We ordered our food and started to
chat about last minute things we needed to finish before we
graduated. I couldn’t believe it was so close! It felt like just
yesterday I was meeting Stefan for the first time and trying to
figure out exactly who he was. Now I was the girl on his arm and
every girl wanted to be in my position. I always looked at him and
smiled, I don’t know what I have ever done to deserve him, but I
thanked my lucky stars every day.

Three drinks later, I couldn’t keep my
hands off of Stefan. I kept seductively swiping my hand across his
crotch which he would return with a sly smile. At one point he
whispered into me ear, “do you want me to take you on this table,
Jennifer?” Then nibbled on my ear as I giggled. I wouldn’t put it
past him, the man had brass balls.

After we finished eating, Kennedy
wanted to go out but Stefan was quick to turn down the invitation.
I knew exactly where this night was going to lead us.

We drove back to his place and once we
got into the elevator, it was all game. He quickly pinned me to the
wall letting his hand travel up my outer thigh pushing my skirt out
of the way. He pulled back from the kiss and looked at me with
passion burning in his eyes. He dug one finger deep inside of me,
making me moan out in pleasure.

He locked lips with me again,
breathing in my air.

Once we reached the
19
^th
floor, he had positioned my skirt back to normal and wrapped
his arms around my waist. When the doors opened, there was a couple
waiting to get into the elevator and I couldn’t help but blush.
They had no idea that an orgasm had just happened inside that very
elevator.

Stefan unlocked the door and before I
could take one step in, he grabbed me by the waist and swung me
around in his arms, crushing his lips into mine yet
again.

We heard someone clear their throat
and my face went bright red. Stefan turned around to see Charles
standing in the kitchen. I thought Stefan would put me down, but he
didn’t. If anything, he held onto me tighter.

“
Stefan, can I have a word
with you for a moment? I’m sorry to interrupt, but I wouldn’t come
to you at a time like this if I didn’t feel it was
necessary.”

“
Meet me in my bedroom,
dear,” Stefan whispered into my mouth as he put me down.

Once I got into his room, I sat on the
bed, patiently waiting for him to enter. I was so nervous,
wondering what Charles needed to tell him. My thoughts instantly
went to my father or his crazy ex-girlfriend again.

I heard shouting and sat on
the bed for a moment, trying to decide whether or not to open the
door. Of course the curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it
an inch to find the tall, skinny, blue eyed woman glaring at
Stefan. She was wearing a short black skirt with stockings and a
peach colored top that accented her breasts.
What the hell was she doing in Stefan’s house?
I was just about to walk out of the bedroom when I
heard Stefan’s voice.

“
Maddelyn, you can’t just
come here anytime you want. I told you, you are fired. You threw
that all away when you decided to lay on my bed naked knowing
Jennifer was going up there.” I couldn’t get a good look at him,
but I assumed he was seeing red.

“
Stefan, please, I have no
idea what you’re talking about. Let me just explain…” Stupid bitch
had some nerve showing up here uninvited.

“
I don’t give two fucking
shits, Maddelyn. I believe Jennifer, why in the fuck would she lie
about that?”

“
She doesn’t want us to be
friends? She’s threatened by me? God if I know, Stefan, but it was
all a fabricated lie to get me out of your life and it’s working.
Can’t you see that?” I opened the door and stomped my ass into the
living room. I think Maddelyn almost passed out on the floor when
she saw me. She surely wasn’t expecting that.

“
Care to say that to my
face, Maddelyn?” I asked her as I stood next to Stefan.

“
Oh, well isn’t this great?
A fucking reunion. Why didn’t you tell me she was here?” She
laughed and looked at Stefan. Her blue eyes were no longer
beautiful, they were dark and stormy. Well, so did mine. She could
not have what was mine and she was no longer welcome in this
house.

“
It’s my house, Maddelyn.
It’s none of your business who I decide to bring over. Maybe next
time you shouldn’t welcome yourself inside my house without my
permission. Now get the fuck out of here before I have Charles drag
your ass out.” He pointed to the door.

I was so angry. How dare she come in
here and ruin our evening!

“
You’re hysterical, Stefan.
She’s gone and mind fucked you and you don’t even see it! Do you
even think this is what he wants, Jennifer?” She glared at me,
making sure to capture my full attention. “You’re a pet, p-e-t,
that’s it. It’s all you’ll ever be. You’re nothing to him. Hell,
you aren’t even in the same social circle as him. Just remember,
you may have him right now, but eventually, he’ll come running back
to the one thing he knows best, and that’s me.” That must have
really pissed Stefan off because he nodded at Charles who quickly
had his arms wrapped around her shoulders, pushing her towards the
door.
