Ruby felt at peace for the first time since Kim had ripped her heart out. Lord knows that she had been utterly devastated when Kim had broken the news to her about her pregnancy and who was allegedly responsible for it, Jaxon being the one who was blamed. She was beyond relieved that wasn’t true and also happy that she and Jaxon had reconciled at last.
If anyone asked her about the situation between her and Jaxon, she would probably tell them she had cried a river when Jaxon had refused to talk or even listen to her. And she was not joking about the crying part either. Her eyes still tingled from the excessive crying and swelling.
She knew Jaxon had been really upset with her then as she hadn’t seen him like that before. It was one thing for him to be cold to her because he wasn’t close to her all that much, and that had only been at the beginning of their relationship journey. It was a completely different ball game when he made it a point to ignore her and act like she didn’t exist simply because he was angry with her.
It hurt her especially because all the closeness they had nurtured together had suddenly been taken away from her. She didn’t blame Jaxon for being upset with her either, who wouldn’t be when their significant other had zero faith in you and believed whatever lie was fed to them about you?
She shook her head lightly to banish the painful thoughts from her mind. She didn’t want to think about the situation or Kim anymore. She had already resolved to put everything at the back of her mind and forget about it.
It was night time and Jaxon had put her to bed after they’d reconciled. She couldn’t be any happier to sleep back in the bedroom they shared. He had prepared dinner for her earlier and literally ordered her to stop crying. She’d been so shocked that the tears stopped so she could gape at him.
“Okay, go to bed.” Jaxon whispered to her as she yawned. He got up to leave but Ruby fought her sleep and held him back with a tired arm.
“Don’t leave yet.” She mumbled as she let out another yawn. Jaxon slowly turned towards her and settled back on the bed. He reached a hand to her and flicked the sweat drenched hair from her face.
“But you’re tired Ruby, just sleep hmm.” He told her and she shook her head. She sat up and made a show of making her hands into fists and rubbing them on her eyes in a fit to keep them open.
“There, I’m fully awake now.” She let out and Jaxon chuckled, low and deep.
“You never cease to amaze me Gem.” He commented with a smile as he got a far away look in his eyes and she wondered what he was thinking about.
“So you really don’t want me to leave?” He asked her and she nodded. The truth was she had missed him so much. Too much that she hadn’t thought it was possible to miss someone like that. She’d missed his voice, his scent, and she just wanted to borrow herself in him and relish in his warmth.
“I’ve missed you Jaxon, a lot. So can’t you stay a little longer?” She whined.
She missed his touch most of all and a hint of a blush formed on her cheeks at the turn of her thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?” Jaxon murmured as he leaned his head forward. She didn’t know when or how but she noticed he had gotten closer to her.
“Nothing.” She mumbled, flustered. Jaxon gave her a knowing smile which told her he knew exactly what she was thinking about and her blush intensified.
“Define that nothing.” He said as he perused her face. Ruby thought for a moment and a smile grew on her face.
“Oh, oh, she’s grinning.” Jaxon stated and she almost laughed out loud. She remembered he used to tell her she would get a specific smile on her face whenever she was plotting something, and she guessed she had on that smile.
“When I told you to stay, I didn’t mean we would be sleeping.” She told him without missing a beat and she liked the way his eyes flashed in surprise. His lips parted as he wanted to say something but Ruby took that as her chance. She leaned forward and pressed her lips on his and Jaxon went stiff as a board.
She got discouraged for a moment and wanted to pull away, but Jaxon relaxed against her and he started to kiss her back. She leaned more into him and sighed into his mouth. This was what she’d missed, his lips on hers, his touch on her skin… Excitement coursed through her just thinking of all the things they would do.
She moaned when Jaxon bit her bottom lip and sucked it into his mouth. Their kiss had turned urgent and demanding as they both took what they needed from the other. Jaxon broke off the kiss then shrugged his shirt off and got on the bed properly.
He settled between her legs and went back to kissing her. She felt him kiss a trail from her cheek to her neck and finally her chest.
“We need to get this off.” He told her, his voice thick with need.
“God, it’s been so long.” He whispered.
She raised her hips as he started the chore of removing her nightie, and when he did, he tossed the flimsy material on the floor. Jaxon hissed when he got a good look at her and she smiled. She hadn’t worn any underwear because she had been hoping this moment would happen. She watched him lean down and take a very erect nipple into his mouth as she almost choked. The sensations were like no other, and she arched her back to get more of his touch. He showed the same love to the other nipple and alternated between them until they were both swollen.
“I can’t wait anymore.” She let out, frustrated. She’d been throbbing so much and she was sure they was a sizable wet patch where she lay because of how much of her juices flowed out.
“Me either.” Jaxon agreed. She reached down and unbuckled his belt with impatient fingers, then he shimmied his way out of his pants and boxers with urgency. She ogled his body as he spread her legs and settled back between them.
Without any warning, he drove his erect member into her moist heat and she moaned loudly.
“Fuck! I’ve missed this.” Jaxon let out as he stayed inside her. She started moving her hips slightly and Jaxon took the hint and started thrusting into her, hard and deep. They were quiet. Only the sounds of their moans and the creaking of the bed gave away what they were doing.
Ruby’s body was slick with sweat and her mouth was permanently open in a flushed state. It didn’t take long for her to find her release and she cried out in pleasure. Jaxon followed her shortly after and she felt him stiffen in her as he grunted through his release.
“Fuck, I love you Gem.” He told her after he laid beside her.
“I love you too.” She whispered back to him.
He took her back into his arms and she snuggled against him. She felt content as she fell asleep in his arms.
