Chapter Thirty-Nine
Kelley quickly changed out of his suit and stood in his underwear in front of his closet when the door of the room he shared with Mason opened and closed quickly. Kelley turned around not sure who it was since Mason, Lee and Marella had already left for the party. There was a fluttering in his stomach as he looked at her, the jeans in his hands covering his groin.
“Hi.”
Juliana looked at Kelley as he stood facing her in all of his half-naked glory. “I heard you went on a date tonight.”
Kelley laughed as Juliana smiled. “It was fun.”
“Not even a morsel of remorse from you.”
“That’s because I’m not sorry at all.”
Juliana laughed as she stepped closer to Kelley and her arms went around his waist. “I’ve been wanting to talk to you.”
“About?”
Juliana didn’t say anything but pressed herself closer to Kelley and kissed him. The jeans fell from his hand as he gripped her hair with one hand and the other one went to her back. Feeling the need to breathe more deeply he broke off the kiss and gazed into her eyes.
“You’re killing me.” His erection throbbed between them and Juliana loosened her hold from around him and pulled her shirt off.
“I want to take our relationship to the next level.”
Kelley didn’t need any further encouragement as he picked her up and they fell on his bed. Carey had left to go out with friends and he knew they were home alone, nobody would interrupt them. He unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them off as her hands pulled his underwear down.
Kelley pushed her back down on the bed and pulled her underwear down her legs slowly. His hands traveled up her legs and when he reached her knees, he pushed them apart. Juliana's breath hitched in her throat when Kelley lowered his head and his tongue found her wet and wanting.
"Kelley ..."
He didn't answer her as he pushed the self-doubt away. He'd only ever done it once before and it hadn't been a noteworthy experience. Juliana's breathy moans and the tightening of her thighs told a different story as Kelley sucked her clit into his mouth. When he pushed two fingers inside her, he could feel her already clenching around him and it took only two thrusts and the pressure of his tongue on her clit to bring her to orgasm.
Juliana’s voice was breathy, close to his ear. “Condom.”
“Shit.”
“I have one in my back pocket.”
Kelley slid off the bed grabbed her jeans and pulled the condom from her back pocket. He tore it open and slid it over his erection as Juliana watched him. Kelley sat between her legs and lowered himself on top of her, putting his weight on his arms and pushed inside her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and Kelley gritted on his teeth not to explode into the condom immediately.
They moved together in unison and Juliana’s nails raked over his back. They kissed again and Kelley kept pushing in and out of her until he felt her clamp down around him again and he found his own release moments later.
They lay like spoons afterwards, Kelley’s arm protectively over hers, their hearts still beating wildly. It was the perfect moment they shared after months of dating and Kelley kissed her bare shoulder.
Kelley’s phone beeped a few times but he ignored it and then Juliana’s phone started beeping. They both started laughing as she rolled over and got her phone from her jeans. She settled back on Kelley's bed and sighed.
“It’s Mason.”
“Of course it is.”
Juliana laughed and shifted closer to Kelley. “He says if we’re not there in ten minutes he’s coming to get us himself.”
“He’ll do it too.”
Juliana laughed again and stood up from Kelley’s bed. “Come on, we’ve got a party to get to.”
Kelley sat up and groaned as he found his underwear and pulled them on again. He walked to the closet and got his jeans from the floor and pulled them on. When he turned around with his shirt in his hand Juliana was already fully dressed. She was beautiful, Kelley thought and for a moment he couldn't take his eyes away from her.
“Don’t look at me with those gooey eyes of yours, Mason and Lee will know something happened.”
“I don’t have gooey eyes.”
She laughed but didn’t argue with him because he really did have gooey eyes. Kelley pulled his shirt on, put his socks and shoes on and grabbed his keys as Juliana ran her fingers through her hair and grabbed her cell phone.
It took them almost fifteen minutes to get to the party and Mason tackled Kelley to the ground the moment he walked past the first group of people. “What took you so long?”
“Juliana was washing her hair.”
Juliana turned towards him with narrowed eyes. “Liar, you were washing your hair.”
“You’re both lying.”
Juliana kept her expression neutral as she looked at Mason. “Fine, I was hungry and made Kelley stop at a drive-thru.”
“No …”
Lee appeared out of nowhere and looked at Kelley and Juliana. “One of them did the swirly tongue thing.”
Juliana blushed bright red and Kelley started to laugh. Mason slapped him on the back and chuckled. “Finally, my man got some action.”
“You’re terrible!” Juliana turned and disappeared into another crowd of students and Lee cracked a smile.
“Finally? When are you ever getting laid, Mason?”
“Don’t worry about me, Lee, you two are the ones suffering with girlfriends.”
“I’m not suffering.” Lee’s eyes widened and then he mumbled something to himself and walked away as Mason laughed loudly.
“So … do you love her yet?” Mason winked at Kelley.
“I think I do.”
“Aw shit, Kelley, it was a joke.”
“You love me?” Kelley turned around to look at Juliana as Mason ran a hand through his hair and then rushed away from them mumbling something under his breath.
“I love you.”
Juliana’s eyes glistened with unshed tears and then she smiled and threw herself at Kelley. “I love you, too.”
