Chapter 174
It seemed that their sweet whispers today had struck a chord unlike any other. Jocelyn and Melvin were more passionate than ever in their lovemaking.
They explored each other with an intensity that was both fervent and tender, their synchronized breaths painting the room with an electric excitement. They kept the lights on, basking in the glow that illuminated every expression, every contour of pleasure that crossed their faces.
Jocelyn was surpased by how much she reveled in the brightness of the room. It was far from the veiled intimacy of darkness. It was a raw exposure that tantalized every sense, an addiction that was hard to quit.
Melvin, ever so controlled, never crossed the final threshold. Each time she thought they were at the brink, he would rein it back, though never at the expense of her ecstasy.
He whispered huskily into her ear, “You’re all mine…”
That sultry voice sent shivers down her spine. She clung to him, murmuring coyly and breathlessly, “Yes.”
It was as if a mighty army poised for battle had finally received its orders. What followed was a relentless onslaught, unstoppable and utterly consuming until there was nothing left but surrender.
The sheets were drenched.
Exhausted to the bone, Jocelyn felt as though Melvin had melted her very skeleton.
Melvin wrapped his arms around her from behind, his breath hot against her ear, his presence an intoxicating warmth.
His hand gently rested on her abdomen as he asked in a gravelly voice, “Is your period coming soon?”
With her eyes closed, Jocelyn counted the date and then nodded, “I think so.”
“I don’t like that.”
“What?”
“The condom. Even the thinnest barrier is still a barrier.”
Jocelyn didn’t want to talk about it.
But she couldn’t deny the truth in his words. The sensation was indeed different.
Perhaps because they were so consumed by each other, they fell asleep without bothering to clean up.
