A/N: I don't own any characters or Ed Sheeran's amazing 'Thinking out loud'.
P.S Adult rating here!
Mya was feeling nervous about tonight. Something had shifted between her and Jon. The air between them was palpable. The two of them spending the night cuddling together had changed everything. She'd felt empty when he let go of her hand. She knew he had a girlfriend, but it didn't stop her wanting him. She needed him like she needed oxygen.
She was curling her hair as her door opened, startling her. Ray stood there smiling, holding a box. "I've bought you a present," she smirked.
Mya smiled back to her best friend and removed the box from her hands. It wasn't heavy but had beautiful red paper with a large gold bow on the top. She pulled out a simple 1490s tea dress in a midnight blue and stifled a sniff. "It's beautiful Ray. Why did you do this?"
Ray shrugged with a knowing smile "We're going out, you didn't bring that many clothes with you and you're my best friend. Pick the one you feel most comfortable with." She placed her hand on Mya's arm. "I'll let you finish getting ready." She let herself out of Mya's room and walked down to another hotel room and knocked on the door. "Operation Joy is up and running"
The smallest of the three men smiled and pulled Ray into the room before clapping his hands together "So she liked the dress? Leighla said that it would really suit her, especially the colouring." He was speaking extremely quickly. Once Jon had explained that he and Jessie were over, Colby's mind began working a mile a minute. The two of the definitely had feelings for the other, that much was certain.
"So Jon, how did it go with Jessie?" Colby queried. Jon certainly looked happier, he mused to himself but wondered if Jessie had reined him back in like she always did when he looked like he was pulling too far away from her.
Jon beamed at his friend. "I ended it. I realised that Jessie was holding me back from being really happy, but you've known that for ages right?"
Colby nodded "I know she's friends with Jay and Leighla but I've never liked her, I've just put up with her for you. You latched onto her but she just brought you down. Mya makes you better. In every way. You sleep better, you wrestle better and you accept yourself. You're a good guy Jon. She can see that and that's just excellent."
Jon looked warily at his friend "She's too good for me Col, what if she realises that? She's got a fancy degree and I dropped out of school… She's so beautiful and smart and I'm… well, I'm me." Jon looked down at his feet. "What if I screw it all up?"
"You won't, Jon" said Joe who'd stood at the doorway listening to the end of the conversation, "You'll make it work with her because she's the one you've wanted. Mya makes the effort for you. I mean that folder that you've got and all of those silly post-it notes from her make her worth the effort of making yourself happy, isn't it?"
Jon nodded and walked away thinking before turning and shouting "Thanks guys, drinks tonight?"
Colby and Joe agreed in the affirmative. The shorter man looked at the Samoan and said "Shall we just give them a little push?" The Samoan man simply smiled.
Mya was twirling herself round in her room making sure she looked good for tonight. The dress was amazing and she wanted to hug her friend for buying it for her. She'd never been so grateful that Ray was her best friend. She'd managed to get her looking forward to seeing people, to being friends with others and opening herself up to new experiences.
Ray had texted her to say she was sending someone up to get her and ran to the door to open it once she heard a knock "Hey what do you thi…" Her voice stopped as she stared at the person opposite her. Jon stood there in a midnight blue button up shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes. He looked simply divine.
Jon was also speechless. He looked her up and down, noting that the hem of her dress skimmed her mid-thigh, contrasting the dark material with her pale, unblemished skin. "Beautiful" was all he managed to stammer before she beckoned him into her room. She held his arm as she put her shoes on and grabbed her clutch bag for the evening.
"Hey, we match!" Mya finally said, breaking the silence. They walked arm in arm to the elevator and waited. He shimmied her hand so that it fell into his. They both looked at each other and stepped into the elevator as the doors and they stepped inside. Luckily, they were the only two in there as the air between them had become thick and tangible. Mya turned to Jon and stepped forward, her eyes not leaving his and whispered "Thank you for being here with me."
Jon stepped in even closer to her "There is nowhere else I'd rather be." He took a deep breath and leant towards Mya and was about to kiss her when the doors opened and their friends were standing there waiting for them with identical grins on their faces as they saw what they'd interrupted. Mya reluctantly let go of Jon's hand and went to hug her friend before walking off together. "Thanks guys" Jon muttered miserably.
"You'll get more chances before the night is out," Colby said softly, "You'll make sure of that."
Mya had been noticing that the rest of the friends had been acting strangely, ensuring that Jon and Mya sat together, got drinks together and generally were together. She wasn't against this plan, she just thought it was odd that they were pushing it, seeing as he still had Jessie. That was until they'd had a few and Colby stood up to address the group, "I would like to dedicate this round to Jon finally getting rid of Jessie. Congrats man!"
Mya turned to Jon who was already staring at her intensely. He heard the music change to a softer melody and held out his hand to hers without saying a word. The rest of the group fell silent watching the show of affection from their most guarded friend.
"I'm not very good at this, Mya" he mumbled as he placed his large hand on the small of her back and his other intertwined his fingers in hers, held her left hand on his collarbone and rested his cheek against her head. He began to sway slowly as the lyrics began:
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
"What are you not very good at Jon?" she asked as she rested her temple against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat beating extremely quickly. She gazed up at him and he thought he'd never see a more beautiful face than the one he was looking at right now.
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
"Telling people my feelings, but Mya, these last few weeks with you, they've been amazing. You've shown me that I can be happy, that I don't have to settle with the rubbish I've been putting up with." Jon smiled at the stunning woman in his arms and wanted to kiss her, he just didn't want to force it.
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
"Aww Jon, thank you. I want to make you happy…" She stopped talking when she realised what she'd said. She looked up, slightly embarrassed at the topic of conversation, and locked her eyes with his and saw affection, want and dare she even think it, love.
She closed her eyes and took the first step and moved her mouth to his…
But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
Jon saw Mya getting closer and claimed her lips with his. He had never felt so much for someone. He had seen some men looking over at her as they'd danced and now felt that this kiss was showing everyone that he'd made his mark on the beautiful woman.
His tongue ran across her bottom lip, almost asking permission to get closer to her. He wanted her to want it as much as he did. She whimpered slightly as he took control of the kiss and her mouth parted for his tongue. At first, the tips slowly massaged each other before she gripped the back of his neck pulling him closer to her and inserting her tongue deeper into his mouth. His groan let her melt into his arms and they were kissing for what felt like seconds but was really at least 15 minutes; their tongues slowly and lazily massaging each other, making each other moan quietly with pleasure.
Mya had never felt so much from a simple kiss. They were still rotating even though the song had changed and had a completely different tempo. "We should probably get back," She whispered after unwillingly removing her lips from his, "you've got a long day tomorrow."
"Stay with me?" Jon almost pleaded. He didn't want to let her go, not now, not ever.
Mya beamed at him "My pleasure."
Jon winked, "That will be all mine."
"Be careful!" was the last thing they heard from their friends. Colby had never been so happy for one of his friends before. He'd texted Leighla a picture of them kissing with the simply accompaniment of Operation Joy is a success
Jon and Mya walked silently hand in hand towards the elevator. As they stepped in, the same feeling as earlier in the evening overcame them. This time, neither of them held back. Their lips were together within a matter of seconds; a much more passionate kiss than in the club previously. Jon bent down and put his large hands on the back of Mya's thighs and lifted her up so she was more in his eye line; never breaking the kiss once. His arm wrapped around her waist and he carried her to the door of his hotel room, fishing the card out of his pocket and opening the door, all with very little effort in keeping Mya up.
He placed Mya in the middle of the bed and placed himself between her legs, holding his weight in his arms rather than crushing her. He shifted his weight onto his left hand side and stroked her cheek as he kissed down her neck. "So beautiful," he spoke against her neck, making her shiver, "please let me make you happy."
Mya nodded, but hesitated too long for Jon's liking "What's wrong, Sweetheart?" she tried not to look at him in the eye, "Don't hide from me Mya, just tell me."
"I just, erm, haven't been this close to someone in a long time…" She was embarrassed, not knowing how he would feel about that
"We don't have to do anything you're not ready for" he whispered, still looking at her, his arousal becoming and feeling more and more obvious.
"I want to, Jon, just make sure that you take it slow" she affirmed, kissing him full on the mouth.
He groaned and pulled Mya to her feet. He turned her around and held her flush against him "This is the most nervous I've been doing this too. I want something real with you, I want this to be the beginning of that."
He swallowed as his right hand came to undo the zip on her dress, his right hand pull the right side off her shoulder. He pressed light kisses onto her shoulder, eliciting soft moans from her. He repeated the action on the other side, before turning Mya's chin towards him, capturing her lips in his. As they kissed, he pushed the rest of the sleeves down her arms and slowly ran his fingertips up and down her arms, smiling at the Goosebumps evident on her skin. She moaned as the pads of his fingers continued to draw small circles down her arms.
She turned to face him and he pushed the dress down from her hips. He was taken aback as she went to cover herself, especially her right shoulder. "You never have to do that with me, Mya. It's just a reminder of what you've survived." He traced the scar softly, "It only adds to the things that make you amazing"
Mya kissed down his jawline, feeling Jon's long fingers finding themselves tangled in her long hair, pulling her lips and in turn, her body to his. "You're a bit overdressed, Jon…" she mumbled against his neck. She instantly missed his warmth as he pulled back slightly to take his shirt off, before he lifted her up again and dropped her on the bed with a groan. He continued his ministrations of kissing her over and over, making her comfortable. He traced his fingers up her flat stomach and ran them over her breasts.
He moved his hands to the back of her bra and unhooked it slowly, throwing it across his room. Mya arched her back as Jon kissed down to her left nipple, taking it in her mouth and suckling it. Mya lifted her hands into his hair and moaned. The sounds of her moans were heading straight to his groin and he moved to her other nipple. "So good Jon, I… I… nngghghh" were the only sounds she could make.
He continued to kiss and slowly lick down her stomach towards the waistband on her French knickers. He looked into her eyes for permission. She nodded and bit her lip, watching as his skilled fingers bunched them and began to pull them down. She lifted her bum off the bed as Jon threw her underwear onto the floor. He looked at her and said "Are you still with me Mya?"
She simply nodded and said "Always." A groan escaped Jon's mouth as he began kissing up her thighs, his erection now fully pressed against the fly of his trousers. "Come here," Mya whispered slowly, "let me help you out." She reached out her hands and undid the button and catch and heard Jon breathe freely for the first time in minutes, knowing that the strain had been hurting him. She slowly pulled down his fly and licked her lips in anticipation. Running her fingers across his flat stomach, she felt the stretchy fabric of his boxers and pulled them down along with his trousers. He shuffled out of them and threw them across the room.
He groaned Mya's name as she began stroking him slowly before licking the underside of his thick erection. She swirled her tongue over the engorged head before wrapping her kiss-swollen lips around his cock. She felt his hands in her hair, holding her in place as she sucked him. She heard Jon's laboured breaths as she continued on her task.
Jon could feel the tension building in his groin, but wanted to make her see that he could take care of her too. "Fuck, Mya, Sweetheart, please stop. I won't be able to continue if you keep going." Mya stopped bobbing her head up and down over Jon's cock and smiled at him before kissing him again. He pushed her back down onto the bed before he kissed up her legs, meeting the apex of her thighs. He tentatively licked at her core before finding her most sensitive area.
Mya squirmed under the expert pleasure she was experiencing, a knot tying more and more tightly in her groin. Jon continued to nibble at her most sensitive area and Mya didn't know what to do, she was unravelling quickly. Her hands were alternating between holding onto the expensive hotel sheets and being tangled in Jon's hair. As she came, she held tightly onto the back of Jon's head as his name almost became a prayer, getting softer every time.
Jon lazily licked every drop from her core as he continued to hold her down until he was ready. He kissed back up to her mouth as he asked her if she was ready for him. Mya merely nodded and gasped as he slid himself inside her, wrapping her legs around him. Not wanting her to be scared, he continued to talk her through it, adding how he was feeling "You are so beautiful Mya, I'm going to show you every single day how I feel about you. I'm going to pleasure you over and over again. You're mine and I want you to stay that way. Mine. Be mine, Mya" He rocked his hips against hers, brushing her most sensitive area with every thrust. He ran his fingers down the back of her thighs as he kissed her neck, feeling her shiver. He was in seventh heaven as he heard her soft moans. He didn't think it was possible for him to feel any more aroused until he saw the face of the most beautiful woman changing as she experienced intense desire.
"Yes, I'll be yours Jon, I'm yours." She sucked in the air as Jon began to move inside her. The feeling was unlike any feeling she'd had doing this with anyone else. Jon continuously kissed her mouth and neck as he continued to thrust slowly inside her. He could feel a tingling in his back and groin as he continued to pleasure Mya. He began to go faster as her breaths became more laboured. "Jon, I'm gonna… gonna come. Please, keep going. Jon, please"
He growled into her ear and whispered "Then come for me Sweetheart, I'm here for you, I want to feel it." Mya's toes began to curl and her thighs tightened their grip around Jon's waist. Her orgasm this time was much deeper and Jon kissed her neck as he felt her walls clench around his sensitive member. The wet, almost velvet-like feeling of her core pulled at his cock, speeding up his thrusts. It didn't take much more for Jon to come. As he came down, he rested his head against Mya's chest and took a deep breath. He pulled out of her and laid on his back. "Come here, Mya," he murmured to the woman lying next to him and waited until she allowed him to pull her closer towards him, wrapping his arms around her whilst drawing small circles down her arms and hands.
He heard her breathing become deeper and he knew she was falling asleep. "Goodnight, Mya. You're so perfect," he hesitated before adding, in a very quiet voice, "I love you." He shut his eyes and began to drift off, a bright future with Mya flashing in his mind.
