Maddie inhaled so deeply she shuddered, but her gaze stayed on Julia’s. “You mean everything to me.”
“You already have my heart and…already share my life. Come and live with me and share my home, too.”
Maddie’s smile was wide. “God, Julia, I love you…beyond anything I have imagined.”
“I love you the same way. That’s a yes, right?” Julia asked tentatively, hoping beyond hope that Maddie wanted to throw her lot in with Julia because that was exactly what Julia wanted to do with Maddie.
Maddie’s smile got impossibly wider. “That’s a yes.”
Chapter 22
One year later
Julia had not told her anything about her anniversary surprise and she had not asked. Maddie knew by now that Julia would plan something that she would enjoy so Maddie had simply smiled when they had pulled into the parking garage of the elegant Boston hotel where they had first met and where they had spent their first night together. Maddie had discovered that Julia was as romantic as she was loving and generous.
When Julia led them to the same suite she had stayed in well over a year ago now, Maddie’s face was beginning to hurt because she was smiling so widely. They quickly shed their bags and purses and stood facing each other in the small seating area of the suite. A bottle of white wine was already chilling and two glasses sat on the table in front of the same love seat. Maddie slowly unbuttoned the buttons of the blouse she wore, remembering that’s what she did that night, to let Julia know that she wanted her, that she was going to spend the night with her.
Maddie raised one eyebrow as Julia slowly walked toward her, holding a cuff toward Maddie so she could remove the feminine cuff link there. Maddie smiled, as she realized how perfectly Julia had recreated the scene for them. “Feeling nostalgic?”
Julia smiled. “Yes. The first time we made love was right here, like this, and I want you as badly now as I did then.”
Maddie laughed lightly as she removed the cufflinks and continued to unbutton her blouse as Julia opened her own, the warm meeting of skin on skin making them both shiver. “Oh, I think you wanted me a little more desperately that night.”
Julia laughed lightly as she embraced Maddie before she bent her head to pull down the cup of her bra and take one of her nipples into her mouth, sucking gently. She pulled away with a pop and brought her hand between Maddie’s legs. “Don’t be too sure about that. I’m pretty desperate for you right now.”
Maddie moaned at that exquisite sensation. “God, baby, you feel so good.”
Julia inhaled deeply and stepped back, cupping Maddie’s face before reaching to open the wine. “I’m going to pour us some wine. Could you keep going…?” Julia pointed at Maddie’s blouse, “and wait for me…in bed?”
Maddie swallowed. Julia’s raspy voice, hot blue gaze and the anticipation of what was to come making her heart race. “Hurry, baby.”
Julia smiled at her. “Oh, I will.”
Maddie inhaled deeply, letting all the feelings and emotions she had for this woman to wash over her in a warm wave of love as she went into the bedroom.
Julia poured two generous glasses of wine, her hands trembling slightly, and she smiled, surprised that the thought of Maddie waiting for her could still make her hands shake. She quickly stripped down to her bra and the garter and stockings she had specifically worn for this occasion. She had been wearing some that first night and they still drove Maddie wild every time she donned them for her.
Julia walked into the bedroom and stopped at the beautiful sight before her. Maddie was lying across the bed, pillows stacked behind her, as naked as the day she was born. She was gently writhing in obvious arousal as her feet slid up and down the bedspread restlessly. When she saw Julia, she stopped for a moment to run her gaze over every inch of her before she started to move again.
Julia thanked God, fate, the universe and whatever other deity came to mind for this gorgeous creature who loved her as she placed the wine glasses down carefully on the bedside table. There was no need for words as she slid onto the bed and covered Maddie’s gorgeous form with her own, the first contact of warm skin both familiar and exciting. She sucked on one of Maddie’s nipples for a moment before she moved her hand slowly down Maddie’s abdomen.
She pulled her mouth away to be able to watch her own fingers slide into Maddie gently, making Maddie gasp and Julia paused, simply reveling in the moment. As much as Julia wanted to recreate their first time together, she quickly realized that this wasn’t anything like their first time together. Julia was no longer hesitant to state her desires or to simply take what she wanted. She was secure in the knowledge that Maddie not only wanted her as much as she wanted Maddie, but that she loved her as much, as well.
Julia was no longer uncertain that she could satisfy Maddie’s every need, but was just as certain that Maddie knew exactly what she needed, even when she didn’t know it herself. This time, when Maddie groaned and moved her hips to meet every loving thrust, there wasn’t that completely overwhelming excitement, but there was the deep exciting pleasure in knowing what was coming, a lovely familiar anticipation.
Julia moved to kiss Maddie, their hot wet mouths fusing, their tongues dueling as she slid inside of Maddie again and again. The exquisite feeling of power and love was still there, but this time, she knew exactly what to do and what Maddie needed. Maddie moaned into Julia’s mouth, her hips jerking sharply onto Julia’s fingers as Julia pushed into her. This time, when she felt and heard the unmistakable signs of Maddie’s impending orgasm, it wasn’t relief that she felt, but love and joy that she could make Maddie always feel this good and this loved. Watching Maddie orgasm never got old and she enjoyed it now as much as she had enjoyed it the very first time, still watching with a sense of wonder as Maddie shook and shuddered and moaned.
After long moments, when Maddie had recovered enough to roll her over slowly, her thigh pressed deliciously and teasingly against Julia’s clit. She had admitted to Julia that during that first night, she had reveled in the feel of Julia’s wetness leaking all over her thigh and she still loved to feel it. When Julia felt Maddie snake her hand down to her center, she slowed her movements and spread her legs wide, allowing Maddie easier access to where she desperately needed her, as she always had, since that very first time.
Julia inhaled sharply as Maddie slowly glided her fingers through her hot wet folds, finding her hard and swollen clit unerringly. Julia could not believe how good it felt, Maddie’s fingers circling her clit gently, then firmly, as if she knew exactly what Julia needed, as she had always known.
Unlike their first time together, Julia wasn’t the least bit nervous about her body or Maddie’s reaction to it. Maddie leaned forward, rubbing her breasts and stomach against Julia and taking a nipple into her mouth. Julia felt good and secure about how much Maddie wanted to touch her, how much she adored her body, how much Maddie loved her.
When Maddie’s mouth moved down her torso to take over for her fingers and started to do exquisite, magical things to her, she relaxed and gave herself over to the sensations, to the love, to the woman in command of her.
“So delicious,” she heard Maddie murmur.
Maddie’s mouth was already creating an exquisite stirring when her fingers pushed into her firmly, and Julia felt the inevitable climb to heaven, to nirvana, to the pleasant oblivion that being with Maddie always provided.
The first time together, it had been so good, so exciting and so overwhelming in its newness and its intensity. This time, it was so good, so exciting and so overwhelming in its familiarity, its deep security and in its incredible depth of love. It was both familiar and exciting, both soothing and erotic. It was more than something. It was absolutely everything.
