The second day went by fast with them doing very little throughout the day.
Adam was concerned when Jade came out of the room with heavy tired eyes. So, it didn’t take much persuasion to make it a lazy day. They had spent the morning dozing on the couch, then went for a walk in a park nearby. They ate brunch at a nearby café, then they sat on his deck with drinks and talked about a variety of topics.
He cooked dinner. He specifically picked out something that didn’t seem show off-y, but did impress her a bit. After dinner, they sat out on his deck again and talked some more, too.
After the sun had set, and she had been done with her drink for quite some time, she decided to go in and shower. Adam took the dirty glasses and followed her in. He got the kitchen cleaned up, then the dishwasher set on delay.
Preparing himself mentally for another hard night like the night before, he took a quick shower himself in the 2nd bathroom. He dressed in the change of clothes he brought in with him, then went back out to the living room.
He had just turned the tv on and opened up the menu, when Jade emerged out of his room, in a thin tee shirt, cloth shorts and wet hair that was already trying to curl.
He swallowed hard.
She softly padded over to the couch, grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch, and sat next to him. Immediately she nestled into his side, which pleased him greatly. He looked down at her and felt himself get lost in her eyes. They were more green than brown tonight. They still held that stark clarity that seemed to pierce right through your existence. He stared into her bright eyes mesmerized, he felt like he was floating and that he was going to be lost in her depths.
He was so entranced that he didn’t hear what she said.
“Adam?”
He snapped back to reality.
“Yea?” He asked.
“Could you hand me a pillow, please?”
Trying to collect himself, he reached for one of the decorative pillows next to him and handed it to her. She situated it under her casted arm.
“Ahh.” She sighed in relief.
“What do you want to watch?” He asked.
“Don’t care as long as we don’t have to get up off the couch.”
He chuckled and scrolled through the options. He picked a detective show that had just enough action to keep you entertained. Jade also liked the witty dialogue and banter. It didn’t surprise him, even a drowsy Jade had a sharp mind.
Somewhere during the second episode she fell asleep before they caught the bad guy.
He sat there longer than was necessary with her sleeping like that. He didn’t want to separate from her, but she needed to be somewhere comfortable to get adequate rest.
Eventually, he eased out from under her. He lifted her and carried her to the bed. With a sigh she put her good arm around his neck and buried her face in his neck.
He swallowed hard again.
He got her to the bed without mishap, but when he went to stand up and leave, she didn’t let go of her hold on him. He tried to gently pry her hand off his neck.
He jumped a bit when she spoke to him half asleep.
“Please don’t leave. Stay.”
“I shouldn’t. You need to rest.”
“Please.” She said again.
Deciding he was a weak man and had no strong will, he crawled in next to her. With a contented sigh she nestled up next to him, nuzzling him.
She took a deep breath then sighed again as she fell back asleep.
He was in for another excruciating night. But this time this excruciation was of the good kind.
With a smile, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, himself.
******************************************
Unsurprisingly, Adam woke up before the sun had started rising. He had developed an odd sleeping schedule during med school that had proven beneficial in his adult life. He only needed a few hours of sleep of at a time, however he did need at least two periods of rest to be able to function at his best. He looked over at the slender frame that had her back to him. She had rolled over in the night, but she still had her body pressed against his side. He perched himself up on an elbow to look down at her. She was cradling her casted hand with her good hand, and her hair had fallen across her face and shoulders.
He reached and brushed her hair from her face.
Immediately, Jade’s eyes flew open and she sucked in a gasp, swinging her good hand outward, almost knocking Adam in the face. She sat up and looked around with wide eyes and panting.
Adam, shocked and amused, grasped her shoulders gently and said soothing words.
“Shh, Jade. It’s me. It’s Adam.”
She looked over her shoulder at him, momentarily confused, then he saw her eyes clear and remember where she is.
“s**t. f**k. Sorry.” She said, blushing pink.
Laughing, Adam said, “It’s fine. At least we know you’re a light sleeper.”
“Guess so.” She said sighing.
She ran her hand through her hair, flung the covers back and started to scoot off the bed.
“Ugh. I need medicine and coffee.”
Adam smiling, because he knew a hint when he heard one. While Jade commandeered the master bathroom, he used the bathroom by his office. He brushed his teeth and swished some mouthwash quickly, as his usual pick me up, then went into the kitchen to start some coffee. The master bathroom door was still shut.
When the coffee pot was on and brewing, he went to the master bathroom and knocked on the door.
“Hey Jade, you okay?”
Immediately, the door was pulled open and Jade stood there with a sheepish look. She thrusted a Tylenol bottle towards him.
“I can’t get the damn lid off. Can you get it off for me, please?” She said drawing out the word ‘please’.
With a smile and a chuckle, Adam reached for the bottle and took it from her hands. She leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom door while she waited.
“Sorry,” She said, “I usually can get them, but this time I’m just struggling with it.”
Adam gave the bottle a good couple twists, “It looks like it was screwed on crooked, so yea, it did take a little more force to correct it.” He said handing it back to her.
“Ah! Thanks!” She took it, turned, leaving the bathroom door open, and went to the bathroom counter. She shook out what pills she needed, then took them with a swig from her water bottle that was on the bathroom counter.
All the while, Adam just stared at Jade from behind. He admired the view of her ass, and the way her slender body curved. She had curves and valleys to her body, but she still had an athletic tone to her body. His eyes traveled up her back to rest on her shoulders, and noted how even her shoulders looked attractive to him. He thought of the burden this woman had carried on those shoulders and the strength of her will. He was proud of what she endured and how she was coming out of it.
She was still facing obstacles and maintained a balanced spirit. She didn’t turn bitter or mean, yet still got through her trials with grit.
Adam remembered the look in her eyes the first night he saw her and the pull he felt towards her. Subconsciously, Adam took a step into the bathroom towards Jade following the pull he felt. Then he took two more steps. Jade looked over her shoulder at him with an eyebrow raised in question.
Adam didn’t answer her with words, but the intensity of his expression was her answer.
She turned around to face him as her breath caught in her throat.
As Adam approached her, he pressed the length of his body to hers, crowding her against the counter. He brought his hands up and held her face in between them.
“Everything okay?” She asked teasingly.
“You have no idea how amazing you are.” He said.
Then Adam brought his lips down on hers. He kissed her slowly, but intensely. He jabbed his tongue through her parted lips. He explored her mouth and her tongue slowly, without hesitation. He tilted her head to give him better access.
When she kissed him back, returning his attentions, she felt the rumble of his moan in his chest and pressed even harder against her. She could feel his hardness through their thin bed clothes. It pressed against her pelvis. It was close enough to start a hot burn to build, but not in the right angle for her to be able to get relief if she pressed on it.
Trying to seek relief, she pressed herself on his thigh. Adam shifted his weight, sliding his leg between hers. He dragged his hands down her shoulders, down her ribs, hips, then he tightly gripped her ass pulling her tighter against him.
Jade let go of her white knuckled grip on the counters and jabbed her hands in Adam’s hair. While Adam still kissed her breathless, he held her ass with one hand, brought the other around, dipping his fingertips inside her waist band. When he reached the front of her waist band, he slid his hand further down, brushing her hot slick nub.
Jade gasped and jerked against him. She could feel his smile on his lips while he still kissed her. Then he dipped his hand further, and pushed on her ass with this other hand, causing her to roll and rub against his hand and thigh.
She moaned as that movement gave her the relief she was seeking, but it sparked another release she needed. Chasing what was building inside of her, she rocked against Adam.
He kissed her, with his hand on her ass, he rhythmically rocked her against his hand. He rubbed, dipped, and pressed her in all the right sensitive places.
When Jade thought she couldn’t stand it any longer she broke from his kiss, and threw her head back gasping in air. But Adam didn’t stop his control of her movements. He continued to rock and touch her, he leaned forward and kissed her neck. Jade ground against him even harder. Her climax built and when she felt her orgasm crest over, her whole body seized, and she couldn’t move.
But Adam didn’t stop and still rubbed against her which caused her orgasm to crescendo and crest repeatedly over her. Jade barely registered the sound of her moans and screams echoing off the bathroom walls.
When Adam worked the last of her orgasm out of her body, she collapsed against him as tremors racked her body. Adam chuckled and kissed her hair as she shivered.
“Amazing.” He said.
