Chapter 103 & 104 The Users / The Past

*James*

I wake up as Julia comes in the bedroom and kisses my lips. It's the way I wake up almost every morning here. Her in the same bed as me. The Avalon is not exactly where I saw myself when I pictured my forever with Julia but I will take whatever I can get. I will take whatever she gives me.

"Mornin." I murmur. Julia threads her fingers through my hair with a grin. She's happy this morning. Feeling good. Feeling herself. 

"Mornin. Sleep ok? I made pancakes."

I chuckle at the pancake flour on her cheek.

"I can tell." I clumsily wipe the flour away and rest my hand on top of Julia's to hold it.  Then I feel the painful reminder. My thumb swipes across the multimillion-dollar rock on her finger and my heart drops like it does every time I'm reminded she's not mine to keep. She's only temporary. I pull away and lay on my back to stare up at the ceiling, but Julia kisses my cheek anyway.

"I love you, you know that?" She rests her head on my chest and I wrap an arm around her body and let out a little sigh.

"I love you too. That's the problem."

Julia frowns and squeezes my side her arm is wrapped around a little tighter. It's like she can't help herself sometimes. Because she loves two people. She's said it before time and time again how she loves us both and when she is with Nate all she can think about is him yet when she's with me she can only think about me. It's hard to hear but in a way, is currently working to my benefit. Not that I wished the man into the hospital, but soon he will be back on tour and I will get Julia all to myself. For months. Maybe she'll change her mind.  Maybe I'm setting myself up for disaster. Don't care. Don't care if she uses me. I want to feel this. I want to feel her head on my chest and her morning kisses and her warm body next to mine for as long as I can get it.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to start the morning off making you sad, James." I feel her soft lips kiss my chest making my dick twitch. Like I didn't already have morning wood- she's making me want her even more now.

"It's just my reality. That's all." I tilt my head and look down at her. She's still slowly kissing my skin, every once in a while gazing up at me.

"How can I make your day better? I want you to have a good day. I feel good this morning."

This is Julia. The many moods of Julia.

She begins kissing my chest with a little more purpose now and I close my eyes for a moment.

"Keep doing things like that." I whisper.

"Like what?" She asks innocently. "This?"

Julia kisses down my chest and abs and her hand slowly slides down to the waistband of my boxer briefs.

"It's a start..." I tick my hips up just a little to hint for her to keep going and again, Julia being Julia, she does. Her hand glides lower and feels me over the fabric.

"Don't start what you can't finish." I murmur. My breath hitches when she adds more pressure and lowers her body down further. She teases me with light feathery kisses to the dark fabric and my dick twitches against her lips needing more.

"You're so needy, Mr. Gallo." She whispers against my boxers when she feels me shifting.

"Julia...." I close my eyes again when she gently pulls down my underwear.

"James." She takes me in her mouth and gives me the best morning ever.
