My Restless Billionaire

Connecting

She stirs in his arms and he is startled awake, amazed to find the room bright and the sun high in the sky. Looking down at her he finds her studying him, with her bottom lip caught between her teeth. " penny for your thoughts? " he teases and she blushes. " I was just thinking how good it feels waking up beside you" she confesses, "how right it feels" she continues and he pulls her over him, hugging her to his chest " my sentiments exactly" he smiles at her before kissing the tip of her nose. Jess giggles and asks how he slept, he stills for a moment, and a smile forms on his beautiful lips "like a baby" he teases and she laughs out, wiggling her body over his, stirring his blood, instantly heating it. He cups her head and claims her lips, Jess giving in to his touch.

It is well past noon when they tumble out of bed and make their way to the kitchen. Jess scratches together the makings for flap jacks as he watches her. That home feeling returns to wrap around his heart as he watches her preparing breakfast. They spend the day lounging, reading books, and reading aloud pieces that capture their imaginations. Kissing and hugging. When the sun starts to set they find themselves deep in the forest on his favorite running trail, her back pressed up against a huge cedar, his hands roaming over her delectable curves as his mouth ravages her lips. Turning her to face the tree he bends her over, dropping his boxers he sinks his c**k into her heat, riding her body till she shatters and bucks around him before claiming his release. Folding her into his chest they make their way back to the cottage. A hot sensual shower later they collapse on the porch watching the clouds roll in over the ocean.

As the wind picks up they head inside and curl up on the couch staring out the window into the night. Jess breaks the silence " what are we now? I mean are we an item? are we dating?" she asks looking expectantly up into his face. Tearing his eyes away from her he looks at the night sky deep in thought. Is she the one? she sure feels like the one. Could he do steady and stable? Are they dating? do I want to date her? or is this just a local fling? His heart feels more invested than ever before, this feels more permanent than anything else in his life, so is this what he wants? Yes! he feels lighter, and refreshed, he is sleeping, and he is happy, he wants Jess, more than just the physical, he wants her feisty nature, her unpretentious attitude, her natural beauty, inside and out, he wants to wake up to her, he wants to challenge her, see where they can go, growing together, I definitely want more of her... flashes of lightning sparking in the distance, and just when she thinks he was ignoring her question he answers "we are whatever you want us to be, I haven't been in a stable monogamous relationship since my teens, with my insomnia, nights get lonely and because if my status women tend to get very clingy and they seem to think I'm the gravy train. I don't mind spending on someone I care for, don't get me wrong, but dating me just for status feels shallow, so instead, I just kept my relationships shallow. Besides my life is just too busy, and after my parents died, I just never wanted anyone that close to me again. Keeping people at a distance was my way of avoiding heartache I guess" she frowns at the response and he looks at her, "what do you want us to be?" he asks, " because I like you, Jess, a lot, I haven't felt like this in years and I love spending time with you...the past two days have been the happiest I have been in probably forever" she smiles at his words " I feel the same way, you are everything I was looking for, I just never knew I was looking for it...after my ex, I swore off men, not needing anything from them, I was content in living my life alone until I met you" she says as her brows pinch together in thought. Kissing the spot between her eyes he chuckles and she relaxes against his chest. "Exactly what I was thinking, it might sound silly, but it feels like home, being here, with you, sitting here, holding you, this is something I never realized I wanted or needed," he says kissing the top of her head and her heart warms at the revelation that her feelings seem to be reciprocated.

"So," she drags the sound out, "are we exclusive now? no more extra bodies to warm your bed?" she asks hesitantly. James pulls her closer to his chest and sighs, thinking about exclusivity, he would like that with Jess, "yeah we can be exclusive if that's what you want" he smiles down looking into her eyes " does exclusivity include your battery-operated boyfriend? or is he a thing of the past?" he chuckles as her cheeks heat up. Trying to protest she just turns a deeper shade of red, eventually giving up the fight, throwing her hands up in the air she laughs, " Maybe he can join us, ... you know, spice things up a bit..." they burst out laughing."Oh, how I like the way your mind works" he says with a wicket smile, and her core clenches with the wickedly wild images that flash through her mind. Shifting in her seat he clears his throat, trying to suppress his arousal at the thought of toys and other adventures she might be willing to accept. Changing the subject he starts again "we will have to work out the logistics if we are going to give this a real chance, commute for a little while as I sort out the business side of my life before I can come down here on a more permanent basis," he resumes. "Seeing that I'm here this weekend, maybe you can come to visit me next weekend?" seeing the look on her face he continues, "Or I could try and come back for the weekend, best would be if you could join me for the weekend, I can send my driver to pick you up, I don't want you driving all that way alone." Abruptly sitting up she protests the need for a driver and, going back and forth about the pickup, she finally agrees to the visit and, eventually, a driver picks up. Easing her back against his chest he kisses her hair again. A smile on his lips. Inviting a girl home for the weekend...who would have guessed. But he can feel the excitement grow in his gut. Maybe it's a bit quick? I mean we just met, but I've never felt so comfortable with another person, even besides the sleep issue that she seems to be the cure to, she is amazing, intelligent, loving, caring, adventurous, beautiful and so much more, why wouldn't I want to bring her home, keep her even...

She sighs contently resting her head on his shoulder for a little while longer. Kissing his cheek before standing up and pulling him up behind her. She leads him to the bedroom before turning to kiss him. Passion flares between them in an instant and they fall into bed kissing and making love to the sound of thunder rolling in the sky and flashes of lightning glinting on their sweat-soaked skin. Finally, they rest there with his weight on top of her, he kissed her on her forehead softly again and again- in between kissing her lips hard and passionately, as he says 'You know what a kiss on the forehead means.' She stays silent. She knows what it means. It means protection. Respect. It means undying love. It means she is his, and his alone. It means he belongs to her. It means she means the world to him. She didn't need to answer his statement. He knew she knew what it meant. They understood each other in those sweet seconds as he stayed inside her. And at that moment, she fell in love with him more than she knew she should, and he didn't even know it. Kissing him on the forehead she rolls him off her and cuddles into his side. Soon both are fast asleep. Thunder crashing outside, waves crashing on the shore, nothing disturbs their peaceful slumber.
