Home Court (SC)

When we step out of the car, I nervously start looking for my keys. As I walk up the stairs my belly is doing flip flops.

He’s on my turf now.

I haven’t had a man in this house since I broke up with my ex Dean, three years ago. It was messy and I recovered, but I’ve become protective over my space. Jonathan is quietly following behind me and I wonder what he’s thinking about as he is about to enter my castle. When I get to the door, I fumble with the lock but finally get it open and walk into the foyer to turn on the lights.  

“Come in and take your shoes off please.” I ask, kicking my shoes off then walk towards the kitchen. I immediately head for the fridge, take out two bottles of water and my mac and cheese. Jonathan is walking slowly as he is looking around the first floor.

“Your home is beautiful, Madison.” He says as he sits at the island and opens both bottles, then drinks from one.

“Thank you. It was my grandmother’s and now it’s mine. I just renovated so I’m still adjusting to the newness.” I say as I pull a large bowl from the cabinet and start spooning a mass amount of mac and cheese into it.

“What are you putting in the bowl?”

“Mac and cheese. You said you were hungry.” I say innocently.  I know what he’s really hungry for but I’m going to make him suffer a little more.

“I am hungry. I guess it will do as an appetizer.” He retorts with and sly smile, as I place the bowl in the microwave to heat up.

I giggle and take a sip of my water. “So, what have you been up to?” Since I stomped on your heart…

“I was in London visiting my family. After the Hamptons, I needed some…space.” He says with an air of sadness.  

The beep of the microwave goes off thankfully. I get the bowl, sit down next to him and place it between us with two forks. He takes a deep inhale first and gives me a boyish grin, then starts digging into the bowl.  

Jonthand face lights up. “This is really good!”

I let out the breathe I was unconsciously holding. “Thank you. Now, tell me about your visit?” I say and start eating. 

Jonathan swallows hard. “It was fine. My sister graduated from Cambridge, so family time was demanded by my mother. Which also leads to a polite scolding from my father. He has a specific way he thinks I should be living. Apparently, I’m wasting my potential.”

 I scoff at the comment.“How are you wasting your potential? You’re rich.” I say with a laugh.

“It’s just typical elitism. I love my parents but they aren’t the most down to Earth.  My dad spent my childhood dining with royalty and dignitaries. He has no sense of reality for most people. My mom was able to impart some sense of humanity to my sister and I. But she has adjusted her perception over time.” He explains with a mouth full of mac and cheese.  

“So what do they think you should be doing?”

He shrugs. “Running some Fortune 500 corporation or working for some Royal entity in Dubai. That’s just not for me. I actually wanted to be a chef but being a restaurateur and club owner is as close as I could get.”

“Why didn’t you go to culinary school instead of business school?”

He shakes his head. “I got in, but…circumstances made me switch course.” He says with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

I want to press the issue but think against it. I’m in no state of mind to get heavy right now.

“I could see you being a chef. You do make a mean grilled cheese.” I say and give him a wink.

He lets out a deep laugh in response. That was our first night together. Now, he’s in my kitchen, eating my food and telling me about his family. Crazy.

“Well, maybe you should have become a chef. This is the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had!” He praises, as he finishes the last bite.  

“This is my grandma’s recipe. She was the cook in the family. I’ll never be as good but I do my best.”

“I’m sorry. When did she pass?”

“About five years ago. She was the best.” I say with a sad smile.

“Well, you are making her proud. Seriously, this is delicious.”

“Stop. You’re too much! I’m just glad you enjoyed it.” I gush then grab the bowl off the island and walk to the sink to wash it out.

I feel a little embarrassed by his praise for some reason. I take a minute to catch up with all my thoughts, when I feel Jonathan press his body up against me. He gently places his arms around my waist and I lean back into him as I continue washing the bowl. 

When I turn off the water and put the bowl to the side, he begins placing soft kisses down my neck and pulls me tighter. I can feel him begin to swell and I press back more. Slickness is building between my legs and my pulse begins to race. I’ve only allowed myself to think about his kisses once in a while. But feeling his lips on my skin proved my imagination is nothing like the real thing.  

I turn around to face him and pull his lips to mine, as he grips my behind possessively. I run my fingers over his stubble and enjoy the roughness as I move to his hair. Steadily, he moves his hands up to the zipper of my dress and pulls it down to the end as we continue to reacquaint ourselves to each other’s touch. I break our hold, push him back and try to catch my breath.

He’s confused until I pull the straps down off my dress and let it fall to the floor as I let him look me over in my pink lace bra and panties. I step out of the dress then take him by the hand to lead him upstairs. He silently follows and I wonder if he can hear my heart racing.  

Once we walk into my bedroom, I choose to stop thinking. I release his hand when we cross the threshold but continue walking to my bed. I get on top and turn around kneeling as I face him. He stands in the middle of the room as the faint light from the window streams in. He begins undressing, as I stare trying to control my breathing as I patiently wait.  

He first removes his shirt slowly, putting on a show just for me. He wants to tease me this time, as I lick my lips at the sight of his bare chest. Then he moves towards the bed, stops at the end and pulls his pants down. Standing in front of me fully naked and erect, his gaze is soft in addition to the lust, making me feel less guarded.  

I lift my hand and caress his cheek. He leans into it sweetly, then I scoot forward a bit, placing a kiss on his neck and inhale him. The scent of his skin makes me high as I continue the trail to his shoulders. He groans in appreciation, gripping my hips as he pulls me closer. I move back then find my way to his lips.

We fully fuse into each other, lavishing in the heat building between us. Our hands are exploring each other for the first time in so long, feeling familiar and new all at the same time. Jonathan pulls away abruptly and I’m left dazed by the sudden separation. He makes sure I am looking squarely at him and he takes a breath.

“Madison…I know how we started. But, this is a new beginning for us. You are amazing and I just want a chance to treat you the way you deserve. Tell me you will let me…” He whispers.  

His words make my core quiver and the pang in my chest resurfaces as he lays himself bare. I can feel tears pressing to the surface as I pull him to my lips in acceptance. He gently lays me down in the bed, never breaking our connection. The eagerness of his kiss is taking me somewhere, while his hands move to my breasts as he massages them passionately. 

“Yes….” Is all I can manage to say as he releases me, then removes my panties and bra. Once I am fully naked laying on the bed, he makes his descent. 

Trailing kisses down my body, he plants a soft kiss on my treasure before he begins the work with his tongue. I moan loudly from the sensation and I give in fully to his manipulation. It’s not fast this time, but methodic in its rhythm. My body can only bow and arch in response to the pleasure. I try to muffle my screams but then I begin to feel the tightening, as my control fades.

“Mmmm, I missed how you taste…” He says in between his worship and I am getting closer. I grab his head and push him tighter into my treasure, grinding to the rhythm he has set. I hear myself getting louder and louder.

“Oh my God…I’m getting close…” I moan and that’s when he stops. I sit up abruptly to see what the issue is and I’m met with a grimace.

“Condom? I don’t have any.” He says with a bit of panic.  

I slide backwards on the bed to get to my nightstand and pull out a magnum. I rip it open with my teeth and then roll it onto his thick column, enjoying having him watch me as I complete my task. When I’m done, he immediately pounces on me, spreads my legs and then places himself at the entrance of my sex.

“I’ve been dreaming if this…” He says, as he plunges deep inside me. I cry out as he stills for a moment, making sure our eyes stay connected.“I’ve missed you so much.” He coos and kisses me as he starts to move deep within me.

We are in unison and my core is tightening as I can feel my body climbing higher and higher. I can no longer contain it and I explode around him hearing myself scream from the pleasure. I barely have time to catch my breath, when he flips me onto my stomach and pulls me up to my knees from my hips. I hold myself up using my forearms as support as he caresses my left cheek, then re-enters my still pulsating core swiftly. 

He begins a steady tempo, caressing my breasts and placing soft kisses on my back. I find the strength to meet each blow and I push back hard. I am lost in us, as we build in speed and I feel the tears pressing to surface again. I didn’t realize I needed this…I didn’t realize I needed him.

He reaches around and starts massaging my clit and I can feel the tightening start to build again.

“Yessss, Madison… yes…I want more. ” He says in my ear and that only increases the sensation. I push myself up and reach behind to grab his neck and he kisses me on my shoulder allowing the pleasure to heighten.

“Mmmm……Madison…..I’m cumming.” He groans and I start pushing back harder. He explodes and I follow allowing him to drain into me as my muscles spasm around him.

Tears are flowing down my cheeks, as I release the days of tension and anxiety I’ve been holding on since I left the Hamptons. We both collapse in exhaustion on the bed, breathing loudly in the silent room. Jonathan pulls me into him and then tenderly kisses my neck. Snuggling into him, I quickly fade into darkness.
