Chapter Thirty ~ Joey's P.O.V.
"Hey there sexy!" I say leaning against the doorframe of Pacey's dorm room. We've been carrying boxes down to Jen's truck and Pacey is just picking up the last box as I speak. As he bends over I check out the denim that hugs his ass. Silently I thank whoever is responsible for bringing fitted jeans back in for men.
"Hey you, I think this is it". He says looking around the now empty room.
"Looks like. You still need to turn in your keys right?"
"Yeah then I'm officially out of here."
"Good, I've missed having you around this last couple weeks."
"I've missed you too baby, but if it's any consolation I think I aced all my midterms."
"Good, you deserve to do well after all the hard work you put in."
"Do I get another present?" he asks hopefully.
"You get something way better than a present Pace, you get me." I say sweetly.
"Oh goody, morning breath and your cold feet in my back!" he says winking at me, "Can I exchange you for something else?"
"How did I ever fall for you?" I ask rolling my eyes at him.
"You pissed someone off in a past life?" he suggests smiling.
"Funny! Now lets get a move on; I know you don't have a-lot of stuff but I'd like to get it all moved into the house before dinner."
"Okay, we just need to run by the Admin office to turn in my keys." He says locking the door as we leave.
We walk down the stairs and out into the warm spring afternoon. I lock Jen's truck and take Pacey's hand as we walk across campus towards the Administration Building. We walk in and discover Lindsay sitting behind the counter looking bored.
"Hey Linds, I didn't know you were working today." Pacey says leaning against the counter.
"Yeah, Jamie called in sick so I took her shift for her. What brings you by?" she asks.
"Well, I'm moving out and I needed to return my keys."
"I thought that was just a vicious rumor."
"Nope, Jo and I have decided to live in sin until the wedding." He waggles his eyebrows suggestively at me, and smiles.
"Pacey, I already know way to much about your guys' sex life please don't go putting images in my head."
"We're not that bad." He says.
"Trust me, you are. I mean you both sound like you're having a good time but I could live without hearing it."
"Well then it's your lucky day because as of right now you no longer have to hear us." He says handing her his keys.
"Just fill this out." She hands him a form and a pen.
"Hey Jo, how are ya?" she asks.
"I'm good, tired but good. How about you? You finished your exams?"
"I'm okay, I understand the tired part. I finished my midterms yesterday thank god, I'm just glad I've only got one more year of this."
"How's Matt?"
"Busy, I never see him anymore. If he wasn't crashed in my bed every night like usual I'd suspect something." She says smiling.
"He's still working both jobs and going to class full time?"
"Yeah, he says he needs the money, I don't know why. At this rate he's going to kill himself."
"All done." Pacey says proudly handing Lindsay back the clipboard.
"Great, since you're on a full scholarship you have a housing allowance if you don't live on campus, so here take this and submit what you need when you have it all filled out."
"Great, thanks." He takes the package from her. "Jo you ready?"
"Yep. Linds don't be a stranger k? You and Matt are welcome at the house anytime. Oh are we still on for lunch next week?"
"Sure, tell Jack and Jen Hi for me, I'll call soon."
"Ok, bye." With that we leave the office and head for home.
"So roomy what do you feel like doing for our first official night of living together?" Pacey asks later that night when I walk into our room dressed for bed, he's already in bed with the covers pulled up around his waist, but even through the blankets I can tell he's hard.
"Oh I don't know. You got any ideas?" I ask as I climb over him into bed purposely rubbing against him as I go. He growls deep within his chest and lightly smacks my ass.
"Hey!" I say startled by his action. He grins at me before gripping my waist in his hands and pulling against him.
"Potter, don't dish it out if you cant handle it." He whispers against the flesh of my neck.
"Oh, I can handle it." I say turning my head and pressing my lips against his. His mouth opens to me and he welcomes my tongue into his warmth. His fingers intertwine into my hair and he cups the back of my head holding me against him. The warmth from his body seeps into mine and I moan as I inhale his scent, he always smells intoxicating; part soap, part man, all Pacey. Just as he moves his hands to the hem of the tank top I'm wearing, as part of my pajamas there is a knock at the door. We both groan audibly at the interruption, breaking away from the kiss, he rests his head against the headboard.
"Yes?" he calls to whoever is outside the door, while rearranging the covers to disguise his erection.
"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt." Jen says coming into the room. I just wanted to let you know that you're on your own tomorrow for breakfast. Grams asked that Jack and I take her to some market first thing, she wants to make a special dinner tomorrow and apparently if you don't go early all the good stuff sells out."
"Okay, thanks Jen. We'll see you after lunch then?" I ask trying to hurry her out of our room as soon as possible.
"Yeah, we should be home around noon. Night." She says before slipping back out of the room.
"Now where were we?" I ask turning back into Pacey's embrace.
"Umm I think, right about here." he says before slipping his hands under my top and pulling it from my body. Slowly he explores my body, pulling my flannel pants off and making love to me with his tongue. Once my breathing returns to normal after my first orgasm, he slips inside me and makes torturously delicious love to me, he looks deep into my eyes as he slowly thrusts into me over and over, as we crash over the edge he whispers "I love you," and captures my lips in a sweet kiss. Later after laying in each others arms, listening to our hearts beat as one we both drift off to sleep still wrapped up in each other.
"Jo, phone." Pacey says poking his head into the shower the next morning.
"Who is Pace?" I ask. His eyes sparkle as he just watches the water run off my body.
"It's Bessie, she said it was important."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." I say as I hold my head under the warm spray and rinse the conditioner form my hair. After wrapping myself in my terry towel robe and a towel around my hair I walk into the bedroom and pick up the phone.
"Hey Bess." I say.
"Hey Jo, listen I know you're busy but I promise I wouldn't have called if it wasn't important."
"I know; it's okay. I was just finishing up in the shower. What's so important?"
"Well I talked to Victor, you know the florist."
"Yes Bess, I know who he is, what did he want?"
"Well, he's doing a wedding next weekend and wondered if you wanted to come down here and take a peek at the arrangements he's preparing. He said the colors are similar to yours and I know you're still not sure on exactly which flowers to go with, so I said I'd give you a call."
"Yeah, I guess it would be okay. I mean the guys still need to go and get fitted for their tuxes, we may as well make a day of it."
"Great, I'll assume you're all coming so I'll have Bodie make dinner and you guys can spend the night."
"Sure, we'll see you Saturday."
"Okay, you can go finish your shower, again sorry to interrupt." She says before hanging up.
I walk back towards the bathroom where I hear the water running and slip back inside, knowing that Jack, Jen, and Grams won't be home for a couple of hours.
"Pace don't make any plans for next weekend." I tell him, as I admire his body through the shower door.
"What did Bessie want?"
"Oh, Victor's doing a wedding and he wants me to look at the arrangements he's preparing. So I told Bess we'd all go down that way you, Jack and Bodie can get fitted for your tuxes."
"Jo I don't know why we have to wear tuxes."
"Pacey, you're wearing tuxes because it's the most important day of our lives and you want to look your best and make your bride happy."
He mumbles something unintelligible and I laugh knowing how much he isn't looking forward to next weekend already.
"Oh, Bess invited us for dinner and to spend the night, she doesn't want us all driving back in the dark."
"Bodie's cooking?"
"Yeah, so it'll be something good." I say running my brush through my hair and pulling the wet strands back into a ponytail. Pacey shuts off the water and steps from the shower rubbing his hair with his towel before wrapping it around his waist. I watch the water droplets run down his chest before being absorbed by the towel, unconsciously I lick my lips and he smiles at me.
"Are you coming with me to the marina?" he asks.
"Nah, I've got a paper to work on but you have fun. I've got to get to the library to do some research." I kiss his cheek before turning and walking from the small steamy room.
