“I couldn’t stop imagining going down on you.”
“Kissing you feels like living, Juniper.”
“Juniper,” I clarified, feeling like my knees were about to give out. “Juniper St. James. Brown hair, brown eyes, so fucking pretty. Please tell me someone knows where the hell she is.”
Juni didn’t deserve that. She deserved the world. I wanted to give her the world. I wanted to give her the world so fucking bad, but I didn’t know how to juggle that and work and my relationship with Gems.
Juniper belonged here, and I realized I had to overcome years of telling her she didn’t.
Jealousy looked good on Julian Briggs.
“Julian says you barely ate lunch, and I have to make sure you have something for dinner.”
“He’s threatening what he’ll do if I touch you. And the longer I go without answering his threats, the more creative they seem to be getting.”
I wanted it. I wanted to be someone’s girl,
desperately.
I was tired of feeling unwanted.
HEAVY ON THIS
Something that would either hurt or heal me.
“From now on, if you want someone to take you on a date, it’s going to be me,” he muttered, his fingers dragging along my jawline to my chin, holding on to it so I wouldn’t look away. “And if you want someone to fuck you, that’ll be me, too.”
“I’ve never not wanted you, Juni. I’ve tried for years not to want you, but I can’t do it anymore. I want to be around you constantly.”
“See you in the morning, Juni baby,” he murmured.
This time when I turned my head into the pillow, I screamed.
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Working as a woman in a male-dominated field meant that presentation was as important as anything else. A staggering number of people in this world wouldn’t listen to a word out of my mouth unless they liked the lipstick on it.
“You think I would have ditched it before getting to see you in it?”
“Can I have a date for Christmas? I want to take you out.”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
“You know that sound you make when you nibble on the little treats you bring into work?” Julian watched as I pulled down his waistband, and then he grabbed his hard length himself, fisting it. He was…oh, God. “I want you to make that sound when I hit the back of your throat.”
JAW!ON THE FLOOR!!!!
“Christ, it’s about goddamn time he got his head out of his ass.”
YES JOHNNNNNN
“When that feeling of home transitions from a place to a person, and then they aren’t there.”
A smile lit up her face, and she bounced on her tiptoes when she saw me.
OH YOURE IN LOVEEEEEEE
Disbelief lingered in her expression, so I said it more forcefully this time. “I missed you, Juniper.”
A naked, glistening pussy between two beautifully thick thighs. Fuck, it was so pretty.
ill cry
“And I need you to stop talking so you can focus,”
“I read books, Julian.”
“So…my expectations are unrealistic. And I’m aware of that.”
yeah. so how am i supposed to live knowing ill never have him.
“Tell me how a fictional man would fuck you, then.”
NO COMMENT
while I certainly wasn’t a virgin to using a vibrator, this felt different.
shes just like me fr
“It’s hard for me to trust people sometimes. That they really want me. That they won’t leave me. And I just couldn’t get myself to sleep with any of my exes until I felt some sort of…reassurance.
YEAH YEAH ACTUALLY YEAH
Now, I was pretty sure that she was our biggest fan.
Me and her both.
was going to be the clingiest fucking boyfriend, and I didn’t even care. I was obsessed.
I wasn’t sure anyone had been worried about me before. I was always the one doing the worrying.
“I think we know a few judges that could help with that. Don’t we, Julian baby?”
“There’s got to be at least a dozen bottles of my perfume under your sink, Julian,” I gasped, still struggling to comprehend what I’d just seen.
LMAOOOOO
I think she gets so in her head about not fitting in or being wanted, about people not liking her…”
