Adored: Book 1 (The Beloved Series)

by MJ Masucci

  “Your breasts are perfect.”

  She turned her head and closed her eyes as her face began to bloom crimson.

  “Nina, don’t be embarrassed. You have a beautiful body. It’s meant to be worshiped.”

  He turned her head back so he could kiss her lips while he stroked soft skin between her breasts and moved his hand down further until it rested on the waistband of her panties. She made no move to stop him and he wiggled his fingers inside, working them to the top of her cleft where he gently stroked her soft skin.

  Julian dipped his fingers lower, lightly fingering her clit as she gasped into his mouth. Her wetness pushed him to go further and he moved his finger through her folds, dipping into her opening. She writhed and lifted her hips at his touch, moaning into his mouth and then stilled.

  “Do you want me to stop?”

  “No, I want you to touch me.”

  Julian continued, pressing his finger against her clit and making slow circular movements. Her breathing began to turn into a pant as she moved her hips, pushing against the pressure of his finger. Julian sensing she was close to her release, began moving his finger faster. With one loud groan, Nina’s orgasm took hold as she arched her back.

  When she finished, he sucked at the finger he had used on her. The taste and scent made his balls ache.

  “Julian, that was so nice. I never…”

  “You never what?”

  “No one has ever made me come.”

  It didn’t surprise him that Caden didn’t make her come. The guy was a first class asshole. After he got his rocks off, he probably didn’t care if she did.

  “What about your other boyfriends?”

  “I haven’t really had many and we never did anything physical before we broke up. Just kissing and a little petting. Caden was the only one.”

  “Caden’s an asshole. He wouldn’t know how to make love to a woman if he had a book about it while he was in bed.”

  “Can we not talk about him? This is about us.”

  “How do you feel?”

  “All warm inside. Can we get totally naked?”

  Julian didn’t need her to ask him twice. He tucked his fingers into the waistband of her panties.

  “Lift your hips.”

  After Nina was naked, he removed his boxers, dropping them to the floor. She turned to him and put her head on his chest, planting kisses on his pec. Her hand once again traveled over the ridges of his stomach. Julian’s cock was now semi-erect and lay against his belly. Her hand slipped around him and he immediately became rock hard.

  “Sweet pea, it’s not necessary. We can go slowly.”

  “You’re much bigger than him.”

  Julian looked down at her face and saw worry all over it.

  “I’m not going to hurt you. I promise.”

  Nina kissed him and he caressed her cheek while she stroked. Her palm rubbed against his head, lubricating it with pre-cum.

  “I want to try.”

  “Are you sure?”

  She looked at him wide-eyed, but nodded.

  He sat up in bed and reached down for her jeans to get a condom from the pocket. She watched as he tore the packet open and rolled the latex over his length then lay back on the bed.

  “I think you should be on top. It’ll be easier on you. It’s been a long time since you had sex and it’s a better position.”

  “I can’t. I don’t know what to do. Can’t you get on top?”

  “Lie on your back.”

  She did and Julian spread her legs and positioned himself between them. He tested her wetness with his finger and she moved her hips against him. When he removed them, he stuck them in his mouth and smiled.

  “You taste delicious. I’m going to have to try you out with my tongue.”

  He pressed his cock against Nina’s opening and slowly entered her. He began to move until he noticed she was biting her lip, which made him stop.

  “Baby, if it’s too much I can stop.”

  “No, I like it. It just burned at first.”

  She was so tight against him and he proceeded slowly until he got into a rhythm. He bent her knees and pushed against them as he thrust in and out. Her eyes were closed but her breathing and the slight smile on her face told him she was enjoying it.

  Every so often she let out little whimpers. It was taking all he had not to climax. The look on her face, her lovely breasts, the feeling of being inside her was all becoming too much. Julian petted her because it was his intention for her to come before him. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist.

  He sped up his motion, grinding his base against Nina’s clit. His breathing was growing ragged and his ability to hold back was slowly slipping away. He sucked on her nipples and kissed along her collarbone. Her fingers tangled in his hair, gently tugging, which became more insistent as she grew closer to orgasm. At the point she came, she tugged hard, wailing loudly. Julian could feel her shudder against him and it seemed like it lasted for ages causing him to explode with a loud moan of her name. He kept stroking into her until he finished then lowered himself onto her, propping his weight up on his elbows.

  Her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavy. Julian kissed her sweat laden throat, running his tongue to the indentation in between her collarbones. He expected Nina to open her eyes as he kissed her but she did not causing him concern.

  “Sweet pea, are you alright?”

  Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled which relieved him.

  “I…it…that felt so good.”

  He smirked, “I’m glad you enjoyed it. That’s what I wanted.”

  He lifted his hips and pulled out of her making her wince. Kneeling, he removed the condom, tied it off and dropped into the garbage can by the bed.

  “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you.”

  “You didn’t. I’m just sore.”

  “It’s been awhile for me, too.”

  “How long?”

  “Over a year. I haven’t slept with many women in the last three years.”

  “How many?”

  “Nina, it’s not important.”

  “Then how many?”

  “Three. Two were acquaintances and the other was my last girlfriend.”

  “How many women have you slept with?”

  “We’re not having this conversation. It’s unimportant.”

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry.”

  “In college I avoided attachments but I didn’t avoid sex. There were plenty of women throwing themselves at me.”

  Nina sat up and pulled the sheet around her, hugging her knees.

  Julian sensing her discomfort, explained, “I don’t want that anymore. I want an attachment. I want it with you.”

  She smiled weakly and he reached out to brush an errant strand of hair that was hanging in front of her eyes.

  “I want that, too.”

  “Are you hungry? I’m not sure what I have to eat here. I need to go shopping.”

  “We can go tomorrow.”

  He saw her shiver, “Are you chilly? I can light a fire. I can make hot chocolate. I know I have ingredients for that.”

  “I’d like that very much.”

  He grabbed his boxers and slipped them on as he headed out the door. She could hear him placing the logs and setting up the fire screen then cabinets opening and closing.

  She wrapped the sheet around her and came out into the living room. Julian turned and stopped, staring at her.

  “You look so beautiful in that sheet. I would love to paint you right now.”

  Nina began to giggle.

  “You think that’s funny?”

  “The way it sounds it’s like you want to paint my body.”

  “I’d love to do that using edible paints so I can lick them off you.”

  She turned away, blushing.

  “I just came out to get my bag. I need to put some clothes on.”

  “Come lay by the hearth with me. Keep the sheet.”

  Julian placed the cups of hot chocolate on the hearth along with a box of tea biscuits and sat down with his legs crossed. He patted the thick gray area rug next to him.

  “But I’m naked under this.”

  “Is that a problem?”

  “I guess not. You’ve already seen me nude.”

  “And if I never see you in that state again, it’s burned into my brain.”

  “Julian!”

  “It’s true. Come sit with me.”

  Nina sat next to him, keeping the sheet securely around her. He handed her one of the cups and she helped herself to a tea biscuit. He watched her with fascination as she dipped it into her cup and nibbled at it.

  “What?”

  “You’re so delicate,” Julian said as he stroked her cheek with his thumb.

  She leaned her face into his hand and closed her eyes. The heat of the fire was enveloping them and as she relaxed, the sheet slipped down. Her breasts were exposed and he moved towards them, taking one of her nipples in his mouth.

  “Oh,” she gasped.

  “You taste better than this hot chocolate. I could feast on you all night.”

  “I don’t think I would have the energy for all night.”

  Julian chuckled, “Maybe not tonight, but sometime soon.”

  Her eyes widened and his heart fluttered. He loved her innocence. Nina hiked up the sheet to cover herself again.

  “Sweet pea, you don’t need to be embarrassed with me. I think you’re beautiful and perfect. You could give Venus de Milo a run for her money.”

  “Julian, why do you say that?”

  “Because it’s true. Hasn’t anyone told you you’re beautiful before?”

  “Well, my parents and brothers. Oh and this boy at summer camp when I was twelve.”

  “I’m shocked that no one else has told you because you are. Your beauty burns bright and rivals the stars, the sun, rainbows.”

  “You’re silly.”

  “No, I speak the truth. Don’t ever doubt my words.”

  He took the cup out of her hand and leaned into her, gently pushing her to her back. His mouth claimed hers as he moved his lips softly over hers. She gripped his shoulders as he kissed her with reckless abandon. Her belly clenched and a fire began to bloom and work its way up her body.

  “Take me to bed,” she whispered.

  “I think you need some rest. You said you’re sore.”

  “I am, but I was sore before and…”

  He cut her off with a gesture of his hand and swore under his breath when he thought about Caden taking advantage.

  “I should have fucked up his pretty face.”

  “And where would that have gotten you? You punched him once and look what he did. If Frankie didn’t find you, how long would you have laid there?”

  “It would have been worth it to me.”

  “But he could’ve hurt you worse than you already were, then what? I would’ve been beside myself. I was so worried about you before you woke up.”

  “I’m fine and my face is almost back to normal. He won’t get another chance. I should’ve called the police and reported him and his buddies for what they did to my property.”

  “Why didn’t you?”

  “I just wanted to let it go. The worst part was that he destroyed the painting I was working on for you. That hurt the most, not the physical injuries.”

  “You can paint me another.”

  Julian laid his back on the carpet looking up at her. Nina bent down and kissed him, smoothing his hair off his forehead. He pulled her on top of him and the sheet came away from her body. Her breasts were sandwiched in between them and he sighed deeply.

  He ran his fingers along her spine and felt her shudder as he moved his hands down to cup her firm backside. Her pressed against him was making him aroused and she could feel his erection against her hip.

  “I’d like to try this position.”

  She sat up and straddled his stomach, looming over him in all her naked glory.

  “You said you’re sore so it can wait. I’m tired and I would like to go to bed with you next to me.”

  She slid off him, but not before he caught the look on her face. It told him she was upset. As she went to stand, he grabbed her wrist.

  “Nina, don’t be upset. I’m watching out for your best interest.”

  “Everyone does it like I’m a child. I bet if I look around, Frankie is lurking outside. No one believes I can take care of myself.”

  “I believe you can, but I know best. You’ve never had a lover, one that actually cares about how you feel. I care and I don’t want you to be in pain for my pleasure. We don’t need to have sex to show our love for each other. I’ll show you.”

  He let go of her wrist and they both stood. Julian led her to the bedroom and let her get in first then removed his boxers and followed. Nina scooted over to the other side and he reached for her.

  “Come here.”

  At first, she hesitated, still pouting but then moved toward him.

  “Close your eyes.”

  She did and Julian planted several kisses on her forehead and her cheeks. He moved to her ear, tracing his tongue along the outside before he latched onto her earlobe and sucked. His lips made a descent to her jawline, kissing and sucking then to her beautiful neck.

  Nina kneaded his shoulders and he continued to love her. He moved his mouth to her collarbone, leaving a moist heated trail along it. She softly moaned and he went still lower, paying attention to the delicate area between her breasts. Nina firmly pressed her hand against the back of his head and curved her shoulders so he face was flanked by her breasts.

  “Sweet pea, I need to stop,” Julian whispered, his breath coming in gasps.

  “Julian, I want you. I don’t care if I’m sore. I ache for you.”

  My sentiments exactly he thought. He was aching for her, too.

  “Let me get a condom.”

  He leaned over the side of the bed to grab her jeans, but she pulled at his arm.

  “I don’t want to use a condom.”

  He scowled at her, “There is no way I’m having sex without one. You can get pregnant.”

  “I’m on the pill. I have been for several years to regulate my periods.”

  His face brightened because he hated condoms and preferred to have sex without them. Carly was the only woman with whom he had sex while not wearing one.

  “Are you sure?”

  “Stop asking me that. I’m sure or I wouldn’t have said it. And I want to try being on top.”

  Anticipating her being on top made him rock hard. His imagination began to run wild.

  “Go slow.”

  Nina straddled him and he told her to get on her knees. He positioned his cock at her opening, but not before he checked to see if she was aroused enough. He petted her and she whimpered at the feel of his fingers.

  “Slow,” he cautioned.

  She leaned back and sank down on him, inch by inch until she fully engulfed him. A low rumble came from his throat. She braced her hands against his stomach for balance and began to move. The sensation was like liquid fire and he resisted the urge to grasp her hips and thrust into her.

  “That’s it, slow,” Julian instructed.

  She was biting the corner of her lip, eyes closed and breasts bouncing with each movement. He reached up and cupped them, thumbing the hard pebbles. He let them go, moving down to her cleft to rub her swollen clit in lazy circles with his middle finger.

  “Yes, yes,” she panted.

  Julian held back as much as he could, but he was fast approaching his breaking point. He rubbed her clit faster trying to get her to meet him at his climax.

  “Fuck, Nina, I’m going to come.”

  He thrust up hard, clawing at her hips with one hand as he spilled into her, frantically rubbing to get her to join him. As he arrived at the end, he felt her shudder, moan loudly and begin to release. When she finished, she pressed her chest against his. Julian embra
ced her, kissing the top of her head.

  “I’m sorry baby; I just couldn’t hold off. You feel so good.”

  “So do you. I think I need to go to sleep. I’m exhausted.”

  He chuckled and helped Nina off him, placing her at his side where he cuddle her in his arms. It was the most wonderful sleep Julian had in a long time. He wasn’t so sure of Nina’s; she whimpered several times while she slept.

  Chapter 10

  The next morning, Julian woke up to an empty bed and humming coming through the opened bedroom door. He listened intently and realized that it was an Adele tune, “Rolling in the Deep.” It wasn’t his favorite type of music, but it was a pleasant song.

  He searched the floor for his boxers, finding them on the floor next to the bed and pulled them on. The cabin was chilly. They were having a bit of a cold snap and he wanted to turn on the heat. Julian rarely used the gas heat since he had the stone fireplace that was able to warm the small cabin but a fire took constant monitoring.

  The thermostat next to the door of the bedroom read sixty-three degrees. It was uncomfortable and he switched it to auto and set it for seventy. He heard the furnace come to life in the small basement and within a few minutes, warm air was pumping from the vents.

  In the kitchen, Nina was busy at the stove. She had set the table with two place settings. His stomach growled at the smell of coffee and whatever was in the pan she had going. He came up behind her and encircled her waist, kissing her neck. She was dressed in his t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

  “Good morning, sweet pea. What do you have there?”

  “Pancakes. This is to make up for the ones we didn’t eat before you left. You really need to get some food here; there’s barely anything.”

  “I know. I told you that last night. I usually stock up in the garage for the winter. Sometimes it’s hard to get down the mountain to shop for food. I have a freezer out there and several large shelving units. I let it get low during the summer. Do you want to go shopping with me?”

  “I guess.”

  She looked unsure.

  “My hope is that you’ll be here with me so I want you to choose things you like to eat.”

  “Do you mean that?”

  “I wouldn’t lie about something so serious. I want you with me. My life has light where there used to be darkness. You changed that.”
