Romance: JADEN: An MMA Fighter Romance (Bad Boy Tattoo Romance) (New Adult Pregnancy Short Stories) (3 page)

He lay on a bed in the rooms below the stands and I watched as people fussed around him.  He was finally left alone to rest with the diagnosis being that he was not concussed and he was going to be just fine.  The relief I felt, as I heard those words, were amazing and I was finally free of the worry I had been clinging onto.

“Jaden.”

I sympathetically spoke his name as I walked over to him.  He looked over at me smiling.

“You came.”

“Of course I did.”

“I usually win.”

He laughed.

“I don’t care.”  I assured him and sat myself next to him on the bed, his amazing physique now so close to my desiring eyes.

He grabbed onto my hand and I was once again shocked by his bold act of interest.

“I’m glad you came.”

I smiled at him and watched as he closed his eyes.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah just a little tired.”

He kept his eyes closed as he spoke and I decided I should probably leave.  He was still holding my hand though and the temptation to let him hold onto it forever while I sat here and watched his manly chest rise and fall with his every breath, was making it extremely hard to walk away.

“I’ll let you rest.”

I raised after a few moments and he tugged me back down slowly. 

“Come here.”  He murmured and pulled me closer to his face as he opened his eyes again.

“I need a proper goodbye.”

My heart was racing.

“It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.”  I corrected him, nervously awaiting his next move.

“Shut-up.”  He whispered and before I could register my anger at this, and my shock, he pulled me into his lips and felt his hand around my neck. 

He pushed his tongue slowly into my mouth and my tongue reciprocated its movements.  He then pulled out and lingered his lips upon mine before opening his eyes again and smiling at me, looking quite pleased with himself.

“See ya later.”  He grinned.

I got up slowly, taking my hand out of his grasp.

“See ya.”  I replied and left him there to regain his energy that I had just received the last ounces of.

I couldn’t believe how all of this had developed.  One minute I had no clue if he even remembered me and now I was getting ready for our first real date. 

Jaden picked me up around seven pm and when I got into his car, he stared at me with his eyebrows raised.

“Woah.” 

He breathed out heavily, and I had to bite my lip to stop myself from smiling, and showing him how ecstatic I was just to hear him react like that from looking at me.  My heart pounded and I had to concentrate on my breathing to control its attempt to run rapidly away from me.

“Thanks?” 

I managed a small smile to show my appreciation.  It definitely didn’t reveal how excited he had really just made me feel, but I believe that it, along with my blushed cheeks, was enough to hold off the embarrassment of being so flustered over a word that I didn’t even know if I could classify as a compliment or not.

Jaden finally pulled his eyes away from me and my whole body relaxed against the chair.  He started the engine and we drove ten minutes up the road without saying a word.  We let the awkward third wheel (sexual tension) do all the talking for us.

When we got to the restaurant, Jaden made me wait before getting out of the car.  I wasn’t sure what he was doing but then he quickly ran around to my side and opened the door for me.  I was once again floored by his chivalry.  It was now I also noticed his smart attire.  He was wearing suit pants and a shirt—no tie, a few of the buttons undone at the top, and I almost had to pick my chin up from off the ground as I gaped at him in amazement.

“You look great Jaden.”

He smiled shyly and didn’t look at me.  He tried to hide his excitement but I could see it, and it made me feel more incredible than receiving the compliment from him.  I mean, he must receive compliments all the time, so the fact that I could still make him feel special with my words, made me feel pretty special too.

He grabbed my hand and guided me inside and to a table.  I didn’t want to let go.  It felt so right to be hand in hand.

I was expecting the night to be quite awkward, especially to begin with, but it somehow flowed from the minute we sat down.  I don’t think we stopped talking for the next two hours.  It actually took us nearly the entire time to finish our food because we were talking so much.  We just clicked.  We worked so well together.  It was if everything I had thought, about the potential of the two of us, had gone swimmingly in the opposite direction.  And I loved every second.

The night was over and we sat in the car outside my unit.  It was that stage of the night where you desperately want to kiss but no-one is brave enough to make the first move.  It was time I had to just get out of the car and try my luck with him next time.

“Alyssa.”

It seemed he really enjoyed always stopping me just before I was about to leave.  I turned back around and he glanced down at my lips.

“I really want to kiss you right now Alyssa.”

I gulped and stared down at his pink lips.

“Okay.”  This was my lame response. 

He took it though.  He leaned in and I met him halfway, our lips locking together, fitting perfectly on top of each other.  I glided my hand across his cheek and pulled him further into me, greeting his tongue with mine, and relieving our entire night’s desire to feel our mouths pressed together like they were right now.  I felt his hunger for me and I was no longer famished for his touch.

“Do you want to come inside?”

We parted lips and the words left my mouth before my mind knew what I was asking.  He hesitated and my heart began feeling its well-known tightening at the thought of rejection.

“I would love too.”

My heart cut through the strings that were strangling it, embracing the unexpected victory.

We lay on my bed, my head resting on his shoulder, his muscular arm cradling my body.  Laying like this, with our fingers intertwined, I felt the normality of it all; the ease.  It felt like we had been doing this for forever and were still more in love than ever.  I had caught ‘the bug’ bad, and I just hoped he had too.

We kissed long, hard and passionately, soft, sweet and warmly.  He moved his hands over my curves and I explored his body with mine.  My body craved him and my pelvis arched itself in anticipation, pleading him to take control of me.  But he didn’t.  He kissed me and embraced me, but he never went beneath the band of my pants.  He never tried and I didn’t even care.  He still made me feel safe and sexy and wanted.  We fell asleep curled up in each other’s arms and my happiness was untouchable.  I felt as though this moment was going to last forever.

I woke with Jaden’s arm still draped over the top of me, and I smiled to myself as I remembered last night’s perfection.  I looked down at our hands, still perfectly connected, and my eyes found the tattoo on his hand again.  I traced it again with my fingers and Jaden moved behind me.  I rolled onto my back, facing him and saw his beautiful face smiling down at me.

“Good morning beautiful.”

He called me beautiful. My insides swooned.

“Good morning.”

We lay silently again, enjoying the comfort of each other’s warmth and I caressed his hand in mine again.

“Hey Jaden?”

“Yeah?”

“What’s this tattoo about?”

I ran my thumb over the heartbeats on his hand and his jaw clenched immediately.  He gulped and I saw pain swim to the surface of his eyes.

“You don’t need to tell me.”

I smiled at him and he sighed.

“I want to.”

I waited for him to be ready.

“It’s my dad’s last three heartbeats before he left us…passed away.”

His eyes were watering and he swallowed them back.  I squeezed on his hand and felt his pain.

“What’s the date?”

“His last day.”

I gulped too, trying to fight back my tears that wanted to cry for him and take away his pain.

“He must have been a great man.”  I smiled.

He nodded and nuzzled his face into my neck.

“He was.” 

He choked on his words as I felt the wetness of his tears against my skin.

I turned my body to face him and wrapped my arms around him.  I knew I didn’t need to say anything more.  I just held him and let him release his anguish.

Sometime later, Jaden’s breathing had slowed down, and his body relaxed.  He had fallen asleep and I lay there still draped over him, relaxing to the rhythm of his warm breath against my cheek.  I caressed his cheek and he slowly opened his eyes.  We lay face to face staring at each other and he reached out and brushed the back of his hand against my cheek.  We didn’t speak a word, we just looked at each other, appreciating the comfort we felt in each other’s presence.  He slowly angled his lips up to mine and grazed them gently.  I let my lips part slightly, indulging in his touch.  He pushed against my lips and I reciprocated.  We kissed long and slow, gently sliding our tongues together.  He slowly traced his hand along the side of my body and I moved myself closer to him so I could feel his chest against mine.  He was sweet and soft.  He wasn’t aggressive or forceful.  Part of me wanted him to just rip my clothes off and thrust himself into me as hard as he could, but the way he lingered on every part of me as if he was really taking every inch of me in, was intoxicating and I enjoyed the patience I had to embrace.  Now, when his hands slid underneath my clothes, I was more ready than I had ever been; my body craving him almost more than I could handle.  I had to help him so he could maintain his need to be respectful.  I slowly pulled away from him and removed my blouse, and lay back down beside him.  He didn’t say anything but his body and his eyes portrayed his excitement.  He ran his hands over my bare stomach and breasts and sighed heavily as he felt my nipples hardening under his caress.  He grabbed my head firmly this time and kissed me hard and we started to move more excitedly.  I fumbled at his shirt buttons and he helped me to peel it off.  We both ripped our pants off and his softness was simultaneously thrown onto the ground with them.  He grasped my bum in his hands and pulled me against him.  I swung my leg over the side of him and our breathing became quick and short gasps as we fervently moved our bodies and our lips over each other.  I moved my hands down to his hard manhood and he moaned as I pulled on it.  I guided it between my legs and I could feel my wetness increasing with its touch.  I shifted slightly to push it inside and we both groaned passionately as the feeling enveloped our bodies and minds in a moment where nothing else existed outside of us.  I ran my hands up and down his hard exterior as he grinded against me.  He moved in a circular motion and pushed his hips up as he reached my tightest spots, causing my sensations to run wild.  First they came in waves and then my body began to shudder, my toes curled and I stirred beneath him trying to hold on.  He was going to make it happen though.  He caressed between my legs with his fingers and I screamed with complete satisfaction.  I lay helpless beneath him and he moaned loudly, collapsing beside me.  I realised he had been waiting to satisfy me before he could give in to his own shooting sensations. 

Morning sex is the best sex.

I hadn’t seen Jaden for a couple of days but we talked on the phone both nights.  I no longer held that doubt in the back of my mind that he may not be interested.  He was more than interested and he reassured me of it in every text or phone call we had.  I didn’t ask for it, he just did it, and I guess that’s why my insecurities were no longer evident.  I was meeting him at work today so I could spend his half an hour lunch break together.  It wasn’t a lot of time but we both just really wanted to see each other again no matter how quick.

I watched Jaden teach the last five minutes of his class and as the women swarmed around him and gushed over him, I actually smiled more.  This was my man and I was the only women he had eyes for.  Man, he was so incredibly sexy. 

He exited the room as soon as he could and grabbed me by the hand leading me to the staff room down the hall.  He kissed me on the lips quickly and I relished in the jealous looks on the girls faces now behind us.  There was no-one in the hallway though and as we walked towards the staffroom I saw a door, with the words ‘storage room’ on it, slightly opened.  I pushed it open, pulling Jaden in with me.  He didn’t question me.  He locked the door and we kissed in the pitch darkness, crashing into unknown objects lying around.  I undid his pants and kneeled down in front of him ready to rock his world.  I circulated my tongue around the head of his stiffening penis and he was completely erect before I even had time to lock my lips around it.  I flicked my tongue and moved my head slightly around his shaft as I took in more and more of him.  His struggling moans excited me to keep going.  He knocked things off the shelves as he tried to hold on, and I didn’t stop.  I sucked hard and fast until I was swallowing his explosion and he was puffing out heavy breaths.  I sat on the ground, exhausted too, until I felt him pulling me up against him.  He turned on the light and he looked intensely into my eyes.
