I didn’t think I would ever get used to waking up next to Juliette in my bed, her leg draped over mine and her hand resting on my chest. Well,ourbed, now, inourhome.
I was one lucky bastard.
It was a no-brainer having Juliette move in once she decided to move to Golden Falls permanently, even when she broughtallof her belongings from Chicago. That woman had a lot of clothes. The closet was solely hers at this point, but I didn’t mind at all.
I didn’t need much to be happy. In fact, I only needed one thing.
Juliette.
I wanted to eventually pick out a home together—whether that was buying or building—but starting right here was perfect. Anywhere with Juliette was perfect.
This was the same house my parents started their lives together, and now it was our turn.
With my arm wrapped around her waist, I pulled Juliette closer, my lips meeting the smooth skin of her neck.
“Wesley,” she breathed, tilting her head to give me more space.
I moved my mouth, pressing slow, hot kisses along her soft skin to wake her up. “Good morning, sweetheart,” I murmured.
Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and a lazy smile came across her face. “Good morning, baby.”
With my lips continuing to move along her neck, my hand snaked between her legs, pushing aside her sleep shorts and feeling between her legs. “Wet already? Naughty girl. What were you dreaming about?”
“You,” she breathed with a moan, back arching and legs spreading wider for my touch. “Always you.”
“Good. Because I woke up fucking starved.”
She moaned in response.
I pushed the covers down, settling between Juliette’s legs and pulling off her pajama shorts. Her pretty pink pussy was glistening and on full display for me. I dipped my head, pressing soft, slow kisses to her inner thighs. Her hands found my hair, threading through the strands and tugging roughly. I knew exactly what she wanted, but I was going to take my time getting there.
“Patience, baby,” I murmured.
My mouth moved from her inner thighs to her center, getting a taste.Fucking delicious.
I groaned against her, my fingers digging into her thighs to keep her legs nice and spread for me.
“Feels so…good,” Juliette cried, starting to buck her hips against my mouth as my tongue picked up speed. As soon as I slipped two fingers inside of her and moved my mouth to her clit, I knew she was close.
Within moments, she reached her peak, breathless moans escaping her. She took a moment to catch her breath, her cheeksflushed and hair messy. Juliette leaned up on her elbows and looked down at me.
I couldn’t hold back my grin at the sight of her gorgeous smile. I brought my fingers up to my lips, sucking them clean with a groan.
“Delicious,” I hummed.
Her hands found my shoulders, and she tugged me up so I was hovering over her, my forehead pressed against hers. She traced her fingers over my jaw, a tender moment between us before her eyes flicked down to my mouth and she captured my lips in a heated kiss.
I’d never get tired of starting my days with Juliette like this. Kissing her, tasting her, hearing her soft moans.
She was everything I had ever wanted, and I was going to show her over and over how much she meant to me.
Theonlyreason we got out of bed was because my family was coming over for dinner. And I’d never been more pissed at myself for inviting them over.
But now that I was out of bed and dressed, I knew it would be a nice night. We were having my parents over, as well as Lily, Eliza, Cooper, and Hal. Marnie, Eliza and Cooper’s grandma, was also joining. Like everyone in Golden Falls, Marnie had already become fast friends with Juliette. We were also going to FaceTime Juliette’s parents, who I talked to pretty regularly once Juliette introduced us virtually. They were planning to visit soon.
Tonight’s dinner was a delayed moving-in celebration for Juliette. The last few months got away from us—between her getting settled, getting Campbell Creations up and running, and everyone getting into a new routine now that summer was over. But better late than never to get everyone over to see how we’d made this house our own.
I enjoyed summer in Golden Falls, because it meant being out on the water, but my favorite time of the year was fall. Nothing beat the view of seeing red, orange, and yellow leaves on the horizon, the vibrant colors mirrored on the surface of the lake.
