“I love you Holiday,” he breathed. “I am so sorry that I hurt you tonight.”
Holiday looked away as she fought the tears forming. Jax turned her to face him. The sadness in her eyes tugged at something deep inside him.
“Fuck,” he whimpered rolling off Holiday. “Baby, please don’t cry.”
Holiday wiped away the falling tears, unable to keep them at bay. Jax pulled her into his arms covering her face in kisses.
“I am tired of her interfering. I am afraid this will be for the rest of my life,” Holiday finally admitted. Jax closed his eyes, unable to come up with a proper retort.
“I don’t want her meddling in our marriage,” Holiday continued. “But I don’t want to lose you. I feel stupid.”
Jax groaned, “I can promise you that’s what we talked about. She is done meddling in our lives. I told her to go away once and for all. The proposal showed her just how serious I am about this relationship. Holiday, I meant my words. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Holiday sniffled, “I just want to be happy with you.”
“You will be baby. I promise to do everything I can to make sure you are happy. I love waking up to this face,” he murmured against her lips. “Don’t cry please.”
Holiday wrapped an arm around Jax’s neck giving him a kiss. Their tongues mingled together as renewed desire flowed. Jax pressed Holiday to the mattress and made slow tender love to his fiancée. Afterwards she drifted off to sleep, he wanted to follow but instead he watched her sleep. Jax traced a line down her arm before placing soft kisses on her shoulders. The future unfurled with so many possibilities as the hand with the wedding ring moved into view. His mind pictured Holiday in a white dress waiting to become his wife. Then it moved on to watching her body change carrying their child. He could see little tan babies running around wanting attention from mommy and daddy. The thought frightened and delighted him. Me-Me would be so happy right now. Jax was for once in his life a very contented man.
Holiday woke with a pressing need for the bathroom. After using the facilities, she took a quick shower to rinse off the evidence of lovemaking. The water cascaded over her hand making the engagement ring sparkle. It amazed her that she was now engaged to Jax. With everything they went through in the last year, she was finally able to stake her claim. Living together had been the first step. She didn’t think it would be easy to share her life with another soul but Jax proved her wrong. His style mixed in with her style to create their unique new personality as a couple. Jax was insistent about paying the mortgage but Holiday put her foot down and they split all the bills right down the middle. This was a new source of financial freedom. Holiday had renegotiated the terms of her contract with Orion Optimal Care to receive a five percent profit share from the institution of her program in one of their facilities. Jax, of course, helped her to negotiate those terms after creating her new LLC.
It occurred to Holiday that she had yet to inform her parents of the new engagement. Exiting the shower, she dried off and strode naked into the bedroom. Jax continued to snore clutching a pillow. The corded muscles of his back flexed. Holiday took a few moments to appreciate his fine physique. His biceps were firm but not overly large. At home, she loved watching him work out using the lift bar. Each time he pulled his lean and limber frame up, she would gape at him in awe. Jax brought over an amazing treadmill with all the fancy gadgets and gizmos. She loved running on it while he watched. Generally, they had sex after.
Jax’s hips were a new source of excitement for Holiday. It was something about seeing Jax in a pair of low hung jeans or his boxer briefs that turned her on majorly. Returning to his face, she appreciated his crooked nose and well-groomed facial hair. Thankfully, he had not taken to putting his hair up in one of those sick man-buns. The only time he did that was to annoy her but never out in public. He found them just as distasteful. The jet-black hair was soft as silk and equally as malleable. Bending down she kissed his cheek.
“I love you, future husband,” she whispered. His body tensed then relaxed as he continued to sleep. Holiday grabbed her cell phone happy to see half the battery power remaining. After slipping into the hotel bathrobe, she padded to the living room. There were lots of text messages from her nursing buddies and Lacy.
Jacob, “You & that fine man being nasty right now? Just wanted to say congrats again!”
Aisha, “Congrats! Those heifers looked pitiful. Blondie went home w/ an old man! LOL
Nancy, “Sorry I ogled your man. He is gorgeous. Congrats lucky lady!
Lindsey, “So glad we ran into you. Congratulations on the engagement. Enjoy that man!
Nathan, “He better be good or I am coming. You were beautiful last night, sexy as hell.”
Lacy, “How was the Gala last night?”
Holiday sighed at the bounty of text messages and thought better to call her mom first. Otherwise her phone would explode with replies during their conversation.
“Good morning mom,” Holiday said softly. She didn’t want to wake Jax until she was done sharing the news with her parents.
“Good morning sweetheart. You sound happy this morning. How was the Gala last night?” Simone replied before taking a sip of her morning coffee.
“It was lovely. I’ll send you a pic of us. We looked great together, as usual,” Holiday said building the moment.
“That’s nice dear. Now spill whatever it is you need to say,” Simone added with a mother’s intuition.
“Last night Jax proposed and I said yes,” she declared. Simone didn’t say anything for a few moments. Holiday felt her nerves go on high alert. What if her mother thought it was too soon or that he wasn’t the right man for her? Simone stammered, “What did you say?”
“Jax asked me at the Gala to marry him. I said yes,” she replied but it sounded more like questions.
“Oh my God! Finally, it’s about damn time! Congratulations honey,” Simone screamed into the phone. “You got a good man. My baby is getting married.”
Holiday laughed and she could hear a confused Henry in the background. Henry took the phone and offered congratulations after giving her a speech on marriage. She was grateful to Henry after losing her dad. He could never replace Theodore Titus but he was a good substitute.
“Will you give me away dad,” she asked. Henry lost control of his emotions. With only one son, he thought he would miss out on such an important fatherly role.
“I’d be honored too,” he cried. “Thank you for that.”
“Okay tell mom, I’ll send pictures. I have to make a few more phone calls,” Holiday said before ending the call. She dialed Lacy’s number next and waited for the groggy voice.
“What’s up girlie,” Lacy stammered.
“Good morning,” Holiday said softly. “I was just checking in about last night. Call me back when you are up.”
“No, it’s fine. I need to get up. I am meeting Tobias for breakfast,” Lacy replied then winced at her words. Holiday felt nothing about the two of them dating. Tobias was better as a friend, clearly her heart belonged to Jax.
“Well I have some news,” she said stalling. Lacy waved a hand around but realized Holiday couldn’t see it and stammered, “What is it?”
“Jax proposed at the Gala last night,” Holiday revealed. Lacy jumped out of her bed screaming, “Get the fuck out of here? Are you joking with me right now?”
“Nope! I, of course, said yes,” she beamed. Holiday could hear movement in the adjoining bedroom. Jax was up and about.
“Send me pictures right now of the ring. OMG! I can’t believe my BFF is getting married. I love you guys,” Lacy whined.
“We love you too,” Holiday replied. “You will be my maid of honor. I also ran into the gang from nursing school last night.”
Holiday went on to give Lacy the complete details of the events from last night. Lacy listened with rapt attention.
“You showered without me?” Jax’s deep growl interrupted. Holiday looked u
p at her very naked, very aroused fiancé and gulped. He moved closer to her and she felt the moisture pool between her legs. This man was definitely drool worthy with clothes on but naked he could cause spontaneous medical conditions.
“Sorry baby,” she whimpered. “I can shower again with you.”
“But now you are not dirty. I guess I have to make you dirty again,” he said grabbing her. Holiday squealed as Lacy listened in on the amorous couple. Jax pulled her from the couch trying desperately to remove the bathrobe.
“I am on the phone Jax,” she squealed again.
“Time to go,” he said pushing the robe from her body to the floor.
“Lacy, I will call you back. My caveman fiancé is on the hunt.”
“Ooh! Sounds like fun! Congratulations Holiday,” Lacy exclaimed. “Give Jax a big ole kiss for me and make it somewhere interesting.”
Holiday laughed loudly before ending the call. Jax was on her, taking the phone and tossing it to the couch.
“Change of plans,” he murmured. “We are going to have a bath.”
“Will you make me dirty in the bath and then wash me?” She said in a soft girlie voice. Jax’s eyes flickered closed for a few seconds. Hooded lustful deep blue eyes returned and Holiday gulped. He was going to do all kinds of nasty shit to her in the bathtub.
“I am going to make you very dirty baby,” he rumbled. Jax pulled her into the bathroom amid the running water. The foamy bubbles filled the tub and Holiday eagerly stepped inside. The windows surrounded the entire bathroom. Gorgeous sunlight filtered into the room cascading over every surface. Holiday appreciated the beauty in this moment as Jax strode towards her. She took in every inch of his sexy body gushing, “You look happy to see me.”
Jax stroked himself for dramatic effect before climbing into the tub.
“I am very happy to see you baby,” he cooed. “Let me show you.”
Jax cupped her breasts taking a nipple into his mouth. Holiday moaned as he sucked and licked the sensitive flesh. He released one breast and found the wetness below. With deft fingers, he massaged the area appreciating her wet response.
“You like that baby,” he asked in a low voice.
“Yes more please,” she cried. Jax moved to her neck licking and teasing before sliding his tongue into her mouth. Holiday sucked his tongue greedily. Her hand dropped to stroke his erection. Jax hissed as he grew harder in her hand.
“Fuck,” he whimpered. “What you do to me baby.”
“Jax please,” she cried out. His fingers moved against the tender nub as Holiday detonated. Jax watched her ride out the orgasm admiring the beauty in her pleasure.
“Can I fuck you baby,” he begged. Holiday shook her head violently up and down.
“Get on your knees for me,” he ordered. Holiday dropped down into the water as requested. Jax was all too eager to join her beneath the soapy water. He wasted no time guiding his erection to her wet slit. He teased her with a few inches in at a time before retreating.
“Please fuck me Jax,” she implored. Jax thrust hard into Holiday. His body keening at the intimate contact.
“Fuck, I love this pussy,” he screeched. Holiday cried out but Jax didn’t let up on her one bit.
“I told you, I was going to fuck you,” he grunted.
“Yes, baby, fuck me,” she urged.
“I love fucking you. I will spend the rest of my life fucking you,” he groaned. Holiday felt her body racing towards another orgasm. The insane rhythmic thrusting of his cock had her ready to climb the walls. Jax was just so damn good at this.
“Oh, baby yes,” she growled turning to look at Jax. “You fuck only me.”
“Only you baby,” he replied with a rueful smile. Jax pulled out much to her dismay. He repositioned her so that her back was against the tub. Holiday giggled as he lifted her legs in his arms tugging. Jax kept his eyes on Holiday as he pushed inside once more. She cried out when he resumed his thrusts, hard and fast. Holiday gripped both sides of the tub to hold on as Jax fucked her.
“Play with your clit baby,” he ordered. Holiday obliged and he picked up speed, fucking her harder. Jax was lost in his fiancé and tried to hold off. She was so tight it was driving him insane.
“Best pussy ever baby, I’m coming,” he roared. Holiday was right with him and cried out. Jax felt his eyes roll back into his head as his body began to spasm.
“Jax baby yes,” she screamed. “So good.”
Jax’s breathing was erratic as he slipped beneath the bubbles breaking their connection. Holiday pulled him into her arms. Jax lay on the pillow of her breasts his breathing still uneven.
“I love coming inside you,” he breathed.
“I love you coming in me,” she sighed. “One day we will make our baby.”
Jax hissed and gripped her body tighter.
“I can’t wait to marry you,” he whispered. Holiday rubbed his wet hair and kissed his forehead.
“There is a festival going on across the street. I thought we should check it out,” he said then added. “Come back here and fuck some more.”
Holiday laughed loudly, “You are insatiable.”
“We both went a long time without sex. Now, I want all I can get. Besides, you have some amazing pussy,” he declared. Holiday lifted his chin and stated, “You are great at fucking me.”
“I am going to be the only one fucking you.”
Holiday shook her head and gazed out of the window. The hurt permeating her eyes.
“About what happened last night,” Jax said. “I know that was a stupid thing for me to do. You are the most important person to me. I will not entertain her whims. I think after our conversation yesterday she is finally done with me. As for Megan, I didn’t realize that she felt more.”
Holiday kept her gaze on the window, her jaw clenching. She now understood how easily it happened to Jax when he was upset or irritated
“Colette told me in the bathroom that I won but if we ever broke up she would take you back,” Holiday stated not making eye contact.
“You didn’t win me. There was no competition,” he said sitting up in the water. Holiday kept her eyes on the scenery. She fought the emotional response filling her eyes.
“That’s what I said.”
Jax touched her chin turning her to look at him. He hated the lone tear that fell.
“Holiday, it is over with Colette. I never had much with Megan to begin with. I am yours and only yours. Do you understand how much you mean to me? Your happiness means the world to me,” he promised. “I am crazy in love with you and will show you every day, if you will let me.”
“I am scared. From what I have seen, a girl like me doesn’t get a guy like you,” she whimpered.
“What the fuck does that mean? I am nothing,” he blurted, his eyes blazing with anger.
“I mean guys like you ended up with women like Colette or Megan. Not girls like me,” Holiday explained. “I don’t want to compete with the world of women for my husband.”
“Holiday look at me, you are the one I love. Have you looked at yourself? You are stunningly beautiful,” he retorted. “You are smart, kind, and gorgeous to me. You have a body out of this world. I love everything about you baby. I don’t care what the rest of the world thinks.”
“I want you but I don’t want to fight to have you,” she cried.
“Baby, you don’t have to fight. It’s done, we get to enjoy this life,” he said wiping away her tears. Jax moved her over and sat with his back to the tub. He pulled Holiday to his lap taking her face in his hands.
“I love you, you know that right,” he stated. “Look at me Holiday. Look at my face, what I say is the truth. You are everything to me. No other woman matters to me but you. I proposed last night because I want the world to know. It’s me and you until we create a new life.”
Holiday searched his deep blue eyes. She cried out seeing the love and pleading in his eyes. Holiday covered his mouth in kisses.
“I want to bec
ome your wife. I want to carry your babies,” she murmured. Jax pushed curly brown hair from her face. He gave her that bedazzling smile. Holiday lost herself in kissing her fiancé. Jax helped her to straddle him better as they kissed. She enjoyed the feel of his tongue in her mouth.
“You are all mine,” he murmured. “I get to have you. I am all yours baby.”
“I get to have you,” she cooed. Jax kissed her mouth, chin, and moved to her neck. Holiday hissed as he took a nipple into his mouth.
“Let me show you,” he whimpered. “I want more.”
Holiday looked down to see his erection pressing against her belly. She placed a hand on him stroking upward.
“I turn you on baby,” she said her voice small and girlie. Jax nodded whimpering, “Yes you do baby. All the time.”
Holiday straddled his cock and Jax growled. She resumed her kisses and continued riding her fiancé. He loved when she would lift and ride just the tip.
“Fuck,” he cried out.
“You are so hard for me baby,” she moaned. “You make me feel so good.”
“Do I baby,” he asked his hips flexing upward. “You love when I am inside you?”
“Yes Jax!”
Holiday kissed his mouth wrapping her arms around his neck as she continued to fuck him. They were lost in their lovemaking for long moments. Jax watched as Holiday became undone, the orgasm ripped through her body as she clung to his neck. He enjoyed the internal squeezing. When her body calmed, Holiday slipped off Jax. She instructed him to sit on the side of the tub. On her knees, she finished their session. Jax cried out repeatedly as she sucked him into sweet bliss. With his hands fisted in her soft hair, he exploded into her mouth.
“Fuck Holiday,” he cried out. “I love coming in your mouth. So, good baby.”
After cleaning up, more kisses, and murmurs of affection they dressed for the nearby festival. Holiday slipped into a pair of form fitting pink and black Capri pants and a sleeveless body hugging matching tank top that Jax packed. She knew the Victoria Secret brand outfit was his favorite. He also packed her favorite pink tennis shoes. Once she combed through and fluffed out her brown curls she was ready to go. Jax exited the bedroom in khaki shorts and a white Polo shirt that definitely showed off his biceps. He laced up a simple pair of white tennis shoes and was ready to go exploring with his fiancée.
