I Want You With Me
Chapter 10
Jackson
Jackson drove all afternoon and into the night back to Seattle. April had tried to stay awake, but she drifted off about two hours outside of Seattle. Jackson held her hand in his as he drove and smiled a contented smile that came with being April's husband.
It wasn't much of a wedding, but at the same time, it was beautiful and everything he wanted. All he ever wanted was April. The sight of her beaming up at him as she took him as her husband would be with him until his last breath.
April leaned her head against his shoulder as she slept. They had celebrated their marriage all morning and he too was feeling the effects of fatigue. They were now only about a half hour from his apartment...their new home.
Jackson lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed it.
"Jackson?" she murmured as she was roused from her sleep.
"Hey, beautiful, we are almost home," he said, testing the word on his tongue and liking it.
April sighed and squeezed her hand, "Home...that sounds nice."
Jackson smiled down at her before fixing his gaze back on the road once more. They still needed to move April's things over and of course, tell everyone of their news. The last part would be hard. He knew that it would be really hard. Thinking about Stephanie now, who was already so hurt, he couldn't imagine how she would feel...how much she would hate him.
"What are you thinking about?" April asked softly, her voice concerned, "You look so...serious."
Jackson granted her a small smile and said, "Just...what comes next."
"You..you don't regret-" she asked, her voice wavering nervously as she stiffened.
"No," he cut her off, shaking his head, "Never. I will never regret...I love you and I am so happy you are my wife."
A look of relief washed over her features, but it didn't' erase the concern from her eyes, "Then...what's wrong?"
"It will sound wrong, but I am worried about Stephanie. She is so angry and news about us will just…"
"Make it worse," April finished with a frown on her face.
Jackson nodded and signaled for their exit. He would be happy when they were home and could sleep.
"Do you want to keep it under wraps for a while? Us being married," April asked gently, "Would that make it easier do you think? For Stephanie?"
Jackson smiled at her kind, considerate heart. "No," he said gently, "We are going to need to tell the board anyway, we might as well rip the Band-Aid off."
April nodded, rubbing her tired eyes as Jackson pulled into the underground parking spot in his building. He parked the car and climbed out, quickly grabbing the bags from the trunk and then went to help April. She stretched and Jackson wrapped his arm around her waist and guided her in the apartment.
Both were too tired to do anything but drop their bags and fall asleep the minute their heads hit the pillow.
April
April and Jackson had returned to work the next week. Jackson had called a board meeting, asking a member from HR to be present so that they could declare themselves as a married couple before the new policy went into effect.
Aside from their shared guilt over Stephanie and Matthew's pain, both of them were blissfully in their honeymoon phase.
April had been depriving herself for almost a year from sex and she was anxious to make up for lost time. She felt completely lost in her new husband and demanded his body whenever there was an opportunity. Since the strict rules about relationships in the workplace, she had been determined to limit her and Jackson's dalliances, but it seemed impossible.
He was always around and looked so good in his scrubs...and his smell. So intoxicating. She swore that she could pick out the sound of his thread before the scent of his clean body wash rushed around her. It was all that it took to make April dizzy with need for him. And he knew it too.
Jackson was all too eager to sway April to a supply closet or to fool around not even ten bites into their dinner.
Today had been a hard day for both of them. April had an organ donor patient go into heart failure, while dealing with the weirdo friend who wanted his kidney back.
Despite having made some kind of peace with Matthew and Stephanie, April had to put up with Jo Wilson and all the other interns and doctors who looked at her like she was the 'other woman'. Not to mention Nicole, Matthew's partner, who looked like she wanted to spit in April's face every time she spotted her. It took all April's patience, but she reminded herself that she would probably be acting the same way if it had been her friend, hurt by an ex and their new partner.
Jackson had an equally trying day. He had been rammed by a gurney by Stephanie Edwards, and it still wasn't clear if that had been on purpose or not. April also expected there was more to their interaction that day, but she didn't want to push Jackson to tell her. She had decided to let him come to her if he wanted to talk about it. He had texted her that he would be late because he needed to go to HR to fill out an accident report.
April had been so tired by the end of the day, she hadn't been able to wait up for him. She had slipped between the covers and the second her head hit the pillow she was asleep.
She didn't hear him come home, or even feel Jackson climb into bed with her. April woke suddenly from a dream and rolled in her sleep. She spotted the figure of her husband sleeping next to her, rolled on his side away from her. April wondered when he had come home as she looked at the clock.
Almost three in the morning. April felt restless and scooted closer to her husband and wrapped an arm around his waist. He made a noise, but fell back into his sleep. April smiled and kissed his neck and slid her hand down his stomach until her hand was at the elastic of his boxers.
Jackson groaned in his sleep and April kissed along his neck as her hand slid lower still, following the trail of hair that led April to what she was looking for.
Jackson bucked his hips and April was surprised he was still in the haze of sleep and responding to her touch. He must be truly exhausted, which caused April momentary guilt, but it vanished quickly as Jackson inhaled sharply as she took him in her hand.
April stroked Jackson, his length responding quickly to her touch. She snuggled closer against his back and leaned in close and whispered, "Jackson."
He groaned, now clearly awake as April continued to pump him lightly, "April?" he murmured sleepily.
"Mmmhmm," she hummed sucking his earlobe into her mouth and biting it gently between her teeth.
Jackson rolled onto him back, giving April easier access to him and she kissed him softly on the lips, never stopping her movement.
Jackson blinked the sleep from his eyes, but he didn't question her as she worked him. He was now hard in her hand and April couldn't help rubbing her legs together, looking for friction as she held him. Jackson put one hand behind his head while the other stroked her hair softly, as if he was dazed by her. April left him in that daze, while increasing the rhythm of her strokes.
He looked so beautiful laying there, April wondered if he thought he was in a dream. She smiled down at him and leaned forward for another gentle kiss.
It seemed to trigger something in him because Jackson rolled suddenly, pinning April to the bed and looking down at her with such intensity it took her breath away. She shivered as she looked up at him.
Jackson reached between them and felt her to find her more than ready for him Jackson smiled a small smile and looked back up at her.
Without a word he pushed April's tank top up until April lifted her arms so he could remove it completely. He pushed her back down and looked down at her, as if savoring the moment. April smiled up at him and he licked his lips teasingly before settling down on his forearms so his face was eye level to April's breasts.
He took turns paying each attention, rubbing his thumbs over her nipples until they rose for him. She panted, but remained quiet, wanting to let Jackson do with her what he wanted. He bent his head then and sucked her nipple into his mouth, running his dull teeth along her nipple causing sparks to shoot from April's center all the way down to her toes. She twitched under Jackson, but he held her still as he tasted her flesh. April closed her eyes as he moved to the other breast and lavished it with attention that caused April to tremble with want.
Jackson stroked his hand down her stomach, lowering himself down the bed and April quaked as she realized what his plan was.
"Jacks-"
"Shhh," he said in a harsh whisper.
April bit her lip and nodded, as Jackson kissed just below her navel and trailed his kisses downward.
April's hips bucked in anticipation and Jackson steadied her, holding her in place as his hot breath blew against her folds. Jackson grabbed her legs, resting them on his shoulders as his fingers probed her, looking for that…
April cried out as he found her bundle, shooting spark through her entire body...she was wound up tight. Ready for him, but he was hell bent on foreplay it seemed.
He stilled his hand until she calmed and April didn't know whether to laugh or cry...or beg….or all three.
As soon as she had settled, he began again and April hissed in pleasure as he lazily stroked his fingers into her, his tongue lapping at her. She tried to angle her hips so Jackson would hit her spot again, but he seemed determined not to touch it…
With a grunt of frustration from April, Jackson finally latched on, sucking her off as if his life depended on it causing April to bark out in pleasure and her eyes to roll back into her head. Each muscle tensed as waves of pleasure took over her in anticipation for the big, golden wave to wash over her...it was coming….any second…
Jackson stopped.
April whimpered and looked down at him, speechless. What the….
April saw the mischievous glint in his eyes and she scowled at him and tossed a pillow at his head, her muscles wobbling from being tensed so long. He easily deflected the pillow, batting it away.
He chuckled and hunkered down to work again, stroking her and causing her now relaxed muscles to prepare for their pleasure once more.
Jackson gently sucked her as he pumped a finger inside of her slowly, before adding another. April closed her eyes in anticipation, a soft sigh escaping her lips as her heels dug into Jackson's back and her hands balled the sheets into her fists...she was closed against as Jackson worked her harder….so close….one foot was off the cliff…
Jackson stopped. April literally screeched in frustration, tears filling her eyes now. She hated her husband. Why would she marry such a cruel man?
April began to roll to her side and bury her face in her pillow, but Jackson was on top of her once more, gripping her chin gently in one hand forcing her to look at him. April looked up into the eyes...those green eyes that were now dark with lust. He crushed his mouth to hers in a fierce kiss they had never shared. He was desperate for her...that's what the kiss told April.
Suddenly he was inside her in one thrust, filling her so perfectly. She gasped against his lips, but didn't pull away. She angled her hips to take him deeper and each thrust was like gasoline being thrown onto an already blinding hot flame inside of her...she ached for a release now and Jackson was the only one who could give it to her.
Jackson's eyes pierced into hers and in a gruff, lust filled voice he demanded, "Hold onto me."
April wrapped her legs around him tighter, feeling his ass and thighs as he pounded into her relentlessly. Her hands that were wrapped around his bulging biceps went to his back. April held onto him as if her life depended on it. It probably did, because if she didn't find her release, she would lose her mind.
Jackson pressed her as close as he could and April could feel him inside her, pushing her to her limits with each merciless thrust. The only sounds in the room were their labored breathing and skin on skin as Jackson worked to fuse them together as one.
April heart raced in anticipation as she felt that familiar feeling in her stomach...the slow build that came with an amazing release. She closed her eyes in anticipation, but Jackson grabbed her chin again, causing her to look at him.
April's breathing had all but stopped and suddenly something exploded in her, causing wave after wave of pleasure to course through her. She could help crying out as all her muscles trembled with the force of her release. Her head fell back against the pillows, her neck not able to hand holding it up.
As April began her descent from heaven, Jackson thrust into deeply and swelled within her, releasing into her. April sighed as she felt him coat her and it sent tingles through her body. Jackson shuddered on top of her as he emptied into, but then collapsed gently on top of her as he finished.
April kept her arms wrapped around him, stroking up and down his back lazily as he tried to catch his breathing. April turned her head to where his face was, buried in the pillow next to her.
Finally he found the strength to ease himself up slightly and looked down at April with a lazy, satisfied smile on his face.
"What brought that on?" he asked, still panting slightly.
"Me? I just started it! You're the one who...who really finished it," she said appreciatively, kissing his chin.
Jackson laughed and kissed her lips softly.
"I just...we both had such crappy days lately at work with all the judgey stares and usually I can deal with it as long as I come home at the end of the night to you...tonight I didn't see you," she murmured, resting her chin against his chest as he rolled and settled half of her atop him.
Jackson stroked her back and ran his hands through her hair, nodding in understanding.
Jackson
Jackson held April, completely content. He understood why she had woken him. He had a rough day, but he had some relief because at least Stephanie had addressed him. Whether she forgave him or not, he would probably never know.
At least now he could try to move on from the guilt and focus on what was more important, the woman in his arms. He stroked the soft skin in her back. All the guilt, all the judgey stares, they were all worth it if he got to have her at the end of the day.
April began to still next to him and he knew she would be asleep soon.
Jackson kissed her forehead and he felt her smile against his chest.
"April," he murmured, rubbing her backside.
"Hmmm?" she murmured sleepily.
"I am going to share your pillow," he whispered, a smile on his face.
"No," April said, her eyes still closed with an adorable pout on her lips.
"Yeah, you threw mine across the room," he said, pinching her but cheek lightly.
"It was your own fault," she said sleepily, but with an amused smile on her face.
Jackson chuckled and said, "I guess I have to get up and get my pillow."
As he began to move out from under her to retrieve my pillow, April wrapped her legs around his and then tightened her arms around his waist, whimpering in protest.
"Okay, okay, you can share my pillow. I will just keep my head here," she said, nuzzling her head against his chest. Jackson smiled and pulled her even closer and kissed the top of her head.
"Let's sleep," he said against her hair.
She hummed her agreement, completely relaxed against him. "Don't leave," she mumbled in her sleep, and Jackson closed his eyes at his sweet wife's request and buried his nose in her hair and whispered, "Never."
Jackson didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he could feel a palpable difference inside of himself that wasn't just about the amazing sex he had been having lately. After everything that happened yesterday with Stephanie, he felt like finally there was some closure there and he could enjoy his new marriage to April.
Jackson looked down at a slumbering April and he smiled down at her. Usually she woke long before him, but today she slept soundly on her stomach, her arms under her pillow facing away from him. He thought he could be a little smug about that fact. Jackson stroked her back, which didn't even rouse her, but as he neared the arch of her back her hips lifted and stretched provocatively before settling back down.
Jackson smiled and his morning wood, already standing to attention, twitched in need. He needed her again.
He stroked her lower back and leaned down and kissed her shoulder as April turned her head towards his, "Jackson," she mumbled in her sleep, arching against his hand provocatively. Jackson kissed down her back and April groaned.
Jackson couldn't hold back and climbed on top of her. She was slightly shocked but arched her back to him and he guided himself inside of her heat. Jackson groaned as he took her, stroking into her softly. Last night had been rough and today, he wanted to be gentle with her.
April moaned against the mattress, and Jackson grunted as he felt her clench him greedily.
"I love when tighten around me," he whispered in a gruff voice.
April got up on her forearms and turned her head as much as she could. He knew what she was seeking and pushed his lips to her, kissing her deeply as his hips moved faster.
Jackson knew he wouldn't last long so he needed to get April there quicker. His cock was already hard and ready for his release, but April panted wantonly meaning she was feeling good, but not close yet.
Jackson burrowed one hand between April and the mattress and pulled her up so they were both on their knees. April grasped forward so she had balance and held onto their headboard as Jackson moved inside of her, desperate to touch more of her.
One of his hands gently caressed her breasts, lightly pinching and squeezing her nipples causing her to shudder against him, putting an extremely beautiful pressure on his cock.
His other hand reached forward to her sweet spot that he knew would hurdle her towards the finish line with him. He found it and April threw her head back and groaned, "Yes, Jackson."
He smiled and kissed along her shoulder, moving her hair to the side.
"God you're fucking beautiful," he said as he grunted against her. April shivered and he groaned as sped up, feeling her walls flutter and dance around him, trying to pull a release from him.
Jackson groaned as he thrust into her deeply, his seed filling her as April came undone, holding onto the headboard as she rode out her pleasure. Jackson's shuddered as he filled her. April's arms slackened and she collapsed on the bed, spent. Jackson followed her, falling to the side panting.
She was a fucking hellcat in the bed.
Jackson rolled to his side and kissed her temple and then her panting lips.
"That was...amazing," she said through her deep breaths.
Jackson nodded and she said, "No, seriously, if you want to get rid of the alarm clock and wake me up every morning like that, I won't mind."
He chuckled and kissed her deeply.
"Today is your day off, right?" he asked, stroking her back.
She nodded and said, "I was going to get the last of my things moved over her and settled in."
He nodded and said, "That's a good plan."
April rolled to her back and pulled Jackson down to her so he could lazily kiss her good morning.
"Mmm, my body is still humming," she murmured against his lips.
Jackson nodded and said, "Mine too."
After a half hour of cuddling with one another, the alarm did sound for Jackson to wake up. He sighed in disappointment, not wanting to leave April's side. He kissed April's forehead and said, "Go back to sleep," he whispered, "You need the extra rest."
April smiled as he climbed out of bed, stretching lazily as if to provoke him to crawl back into bed with her. He scowled at her and said in an accusing tone, "Temptress."
She laughed and he walked towards the bathroom, turning on the shower to get ready for the day.
So, did I do right by the reviewer who needed a love scene? I certainly hope so! Let me know your thoughts.
