Chapter 920 - After the fashion show (5)

Later that evening…

Ellie got on the bed next to Jasper. She didn't snuggle close to him as usually. After the incident where she was attacked and then she saw Jasper pummel that man in his rage, she feels like he is different. Something is different. She wants to get closer, but there is some uneasiness that needs to be cleared out. Somehow.

"Are you sleeping?", she asked.

Jasper opened his eyes and glanced at the gap between them.

Ellie can see that he does not approve of that gap.  

"Can we talk about what happened?", Ellie broke the silence.

He looked at her with a frown still present on his handsome face. "You first."

"Uhm…" She wanted to talk about it. That is the only way to get things clarified, but she is not sure what to say. "I was scared. I was never so close to being hurt. At least not that I know of. I think that what Aiden said makes sense. We should be more careful and prepared so that these things don't happen."

"Is that all?", Jasper was disappointed. He was hoping that she will address the part where he lost control and ended up beating up that man.

"It's a start.", she didn't want to talk about his behavior, afraid that she might say something insensitive that can trigger him again or make him feel bad.

Jasper thought that if Ellie is not going to address that point, he will. "I was… angry. And I still am angry that you got in danger because of me. And then I heard that man talk about getting his hands on you and I lost it. Knowledge that Lily targeted you and sent those men, and you almost got hurt… seriously hurt… because of me… and I was not there to protect you..."

Jasper took a deep breath, realizing that his words are all jumbled up, just like his thoughts.

"Right now, my anger is mixed with disappointment in myself. I thought that I can handle everything, and now I found out how much I'm lacking. Somehow, over time I created an illusion that people have good intentions and that everyone plays by the rules. And this was the first time when I could not ignore the uncomfortable truth: that people are ugly on the inside and that they want to take what is not theirs to take… and that as long as they have it, they don't care who gets hurt in the process."

Ellie looked at Jasper with a tinge of sadness. "I envy you."

"Why?"

"I envy that you managed to preserve your bubble of illusion where everyone is good up to now. I learned a long time ago that people are selfish. And that everyone cares only about themselves." Ellie scooted close to Jasper and looked into his icy-blue eyes. "For many years I lived in my version of a world where no one cares about others. And meeting you made me realize that it's not all so dark. Because I care about you. And I want to do things for you without expecting anything in return. I want to help you and make you happy. At the same time, I'm still selfish because I want to be part of your happiness. I want to be part of your life. I can't deny that knowledge how you punched a man senseless because you want to keep me safe, makes me happy."

Jasper smiled. "It seems that us getting together is a dose of reality, for both of us. I am disappointed in Lily, and my violent reaction surprised me, but I was never this happy… because you are by my side. And honestly, I don't care about anything else. As long as we are together, nothing else matters."

Jasper saw Ellie's smiling expression and reached to caress her cheek. A second later, he grimaced, and his hand paused.

"Does it still hurt?", Ellie inspected his still slightly swollen knuckles.

"Yeah.", he could not lie. "But it's much better."

He reached toward her again, obviously going for a kiss, and she held his hand.

"You are hurt. How about… you let me take care of you tonight. So, you can rest your hands."

"Take care of me?", Jasper was intrigued.

Ellie straddled him and removed her top.

Jasper enjoyed the sight of her exposed breasts. Her confident gaze accompanied by blushing cheeks made her look very seductive. He understood that she wants to take control. And she did. From undressing to fondling and kissing… Ellie did it all, superbly.

He watched her lower herself until she got on her knees between his legs. Ellie cupped her breasts and trapped his throbbing member between them. That breast-massage felt good, and his hips moved, thrusting between those two hot mounds which Ellie pressed tighter together, providing more friction. Jasper hissed at unexpected pleasure when she sucked in his tip and rolled her tongue around it… it was amazing! The pace of his thrusts increased, and based on his ragged breath, Ellie could tell that he is close. She moved her head just in time for geyser of his juices to splatter over her breasts.

Ellie smiled while cleaning herself up, happy that she managed to put that grin on his face.

When she got back under the cover, she was surprised that he got on top of her. "Your hands…"

"I'm not a gentleman if I allow tonight's pleasure games to end like this…", Jasper licked his lips slowly and he moved lover over her body.

"And I will not use hands.", he mumbled between kisses.

He lied. He used his hands to hold her legs spread apart while his tongue danced around her pleasure peak between her folds. Ellie was unable to move or pull her legs closer together. She was completely open, exposed, left at his mercy… and he showed none.

The room was still spinning when Ellie heard him say: "My hands are aching, and I will need your help with this."

She inhaled sharply at the sight of a condom wrapper in his hand.

Putting the condom on was more work than she thought it will be. He does it in like a second, and it took her much longer than that.

Jasper enjoyed the process.

Ellie took a mental note to talk about alternative contraceptive methods with JoAnna when she goes to Los Angeles. This is too much work, and she heard that it feels much better without a condom. And if it feels this good with… Ah, she was unable to finish her thought. Jasper was on top of her, and he used his hands again… and the rest of his body as well.
