Chapter 881 - Saturday at Jasper's apartment (6)

Ellie is quite sure that she slept off somewhere around the middle of the second movie. She woke up trapped between backrest of the sofa and Jasper, with her head on his shoulder. She does not remember how they ended up in this position, but it does not matter.

Ellie glanced at the TV and observed that some unknown movie is playing. Looking through the window, she can tell that it's already dark outside.

She saw that Jasper's eyes are closed, and his face is relaxed. He slept off as well.

There is no way that she can leave that sofa without waking him up unless he is a very heavy sleeper who will not stir when she climbs over him.

For some unknown reason JoAnna's voice taunting her to say that she likes Jasper rang in her head and she grimaced. 'There is no way I'm saying it!' , Ellie screamed internally.

Ellie looked at Jasper and thought that he is sleeping… so if she says it no one will know… except for her. He will not know that she said it, but it might take some of her mental pressure off and JoAnna leaves her head.

Ellie told herself not to delay. The longer she waits, the more her insecurities are piling up. She needs to hurry!

"I like you, Jasper.", Ellie said in a soft voice, careful not to wake him up.

To her horror, his lips curved up.

"I thought you are sleeping!", she exclaimed while scrambling backward on the sofa.

She didn't reach far when his strong arms pulled her back on top of him and held her in place. "What made you think that I'm sleeping?"

"You… you… your eyes were closed!", Ellie stuttered while heat in her face reached melting point.

"I close my eyes when I'm thinking. You assumed that I'm sleeping."

Jasper moved sideways, trapping Ellie between sofa's backrest and him (again). He held her chin and tipped her head up so that she looks at him. "Ellie, I like you too."

She lowered her eyes.

"Look at me.", he softly demanded. "Do whatever you want, just don't shut me out."

Ellie felt that her heart trembled at his words. He was sincere, asking her not to push him away… asking her not to push her feelings for him away. And JoAnna was right: she is on the fence built out of her insecurities. But right now, she felt the fence collapsing. No matter how much she tries not to think about Jasper, he is on her mind first thing in the morning, and last thing in the evening, and between those two he lingers in her thoughts regardless of what she does… always present.

Her choices are to keep resisting this feeling which consumed her and suffer, or to surrender and see what happens.

She looked into his eyes which were blue and deep and warm and anything other than icy. "I can't shut you out even if I want to. I am a moth drawn to your flame and the only thing I can say is: burn me."

Jasper smiled when he saw Ellie smile at him. He knew at that moment that defensive walls of her ice castle collapsed and that she is ready to surrender to the same feelings which are burning inside him since he met her, and heard her witty comebacks, and witnessed her hit and stand up to the guy who tried to grope her, and saw her hazel eyes turn golden in the sunset.

If one of them is a moth, and the other one is flame, he is confident that he is the moth, because he feels that his wings are scorched already, and he has no other choice than to plunge into her flame.

Ellie shivered when Jasper's lips brushed against hers. And when his thumb rubbed her jaw rhythmically, she eagerly welcomed him deepening the kiss, because his aftershave smells delicious, and he tastes like heaven, and the feeling of his firm body pressing against hers is igniting passion she never knew she is capable of experiencing.

She held onto him tightly, afraid that if she lets go she will fall apart, unable to pick up the pieces.

"Ellie, tell me to stop…", he breathed heavily down her neck for a second before making an invisible trail of kisses on her soft skin, along the edges of the shirt's collar.

She moaned softly while her fingers gripped his hair, unsure if she wants to push him down to continue what he is doing, or to pull him up for a kiss… but stopping is definitely not an option. Because the fire started, and she enjoys being burned by his flames.

Jasper abruptly lifted his head and looked at Ellie. "Ellie, did you hear me when…"

She swallowed his next words in a fiery kiss.

Jasper could swear that his soul trembled at the implication of her action: she does not want him to stop!

Within seconds, they were in his bedroom. He lowered her on the soft mattress of his king size bed without breaking that scorching kiss which she started.

As he unbuttoned slowly his shirt she is wearing, his lips made sure to cover every inch of her skin which got exposed, charging her with desire.

Ellie was responding to him brilliantly, but Jasper could tell that she is unfamiliar with the man's touch. He kept his every stroke slow, making sure that she enjoys his caresses and relaxes completely before moving on.

Ellie can feel that Jasper knows what he is doing, and she is grateful for her experienced, smoking-hot boyfriend. Oh, God, how good it feels to run hands over those muscles of his back!

His touch seeped through her skin, as if he is embedding himself inside her every cell, marking her as his.

Her soul was hovering outside her body, yet she was never so present and aware of what is going on when he lowered his head above hers, so close to her face that the ends of his hair brushed against her forehead. And she felt that rhythmical movement of his thumb on her hip before he lifted her legs and made his way inside her slowly, making sure to stop each time she frowned slightly in discomfort, before continuing to push her closer to heaven.

Jasper enjoyed shortness of her breath and her every next moan was sweeter than the previous one.

Ellie was sure that she is floating. And just when she thought that it can't get any better, he teased her nipples with his thumbs and changed the pace and angle of his thrusts, pushing her over the edge. Her toes curled involuntarily and she cried to the skies, confident that she can't take it anymore because she is at the risk of completely losing her sanity, and at the same time not wanting it to stop. Ever.

Not long after, Jasper increased the pace again and shuddered in his own release.

It took him less than a minute to discard the used condom and get the new one… and he was back at making sure that Ellie does not forget their first night together. And neither will he.

Jasper was all around Ellie and inside as well, and she was holding onto him, pulling him closer, not willing to separate. Her hips moved in sync with is, and she kissed the hollow of his throat before saying breathlessly: "Jasper Kiani, I like you very much…"

He smiled at her confession because it confirmed that besides her body, she gave him her heart as well. It must be that he finally got her trust, how the guys at the wedding told him. But he will think about that tomorrow, now he needs to focus on Ellie.

She feels so good that he could do this all night. And he did.
