Finally
They stayed like that for a long time, lying in each other's arms, listening to the fire crackle. Irina raised her head from Jack's chest and his lips met hers. She opened her mouth to his right away, no longer caring to resist. They kissed until both pulled back, breathless. They looked in each other's eyes; both knowing there would be no going back if they continued. He threaded his fingers into her hair and pulled her mouth to his. His other arm went under her legs. He moved to the edge of the couch and put his feet on the floor, getting ready to stand. He stood and Irina wrapped her arms around his neck, never once breaking the kiss. He carried her to the bed and gently placed her down on it.
He pulled her tank top off, revealing her breasts; she reached for the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head. She took his hand and lay back on the bed, bringing Jack with her. He found her mouth, slipping his tongue out to meet hers. They dueled for control and Jack won, his tongue caressing the roof of her mouth, making her moan.
Her hands roamed across his chest, down his back and to the waistband of his pants. She slipped a hand into his pants, feeling his erection. He groaned as she began to lightly stoke him. Jack moved his mouth away from hers, making a trail down her neck to the valley between her breasts. He left light kisses on the tops of each breast before focusing on her left nipple. He took it into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue and biting gently. She arched into him and removed her hand from his pants in order to push them off his hips. He moved off her and stood up, removing the pants. She groaned at the loss of contact.
He quickly moved back onto her and began to give the same treatment to her right nipple. "Jack," she said breathlessly, urging him on. He turned his attention away from her breast and continued to kiss down her body. He reached the waistband of her pajamas and pulled both her pants and underwear off, throwing them to the floor. He sat back and stared at her naked body. "God, you're beautiful."
Irina smiled and reached for him, wrapping an arm around his neck. She pulled him down onto her, her mouth seeking his. He broke the kiss and sat back slightly, his eyes once again roaming her body. She spread her legs, giving Jack an invitation he couldn't refuse. He reached a hand out, touching her cheek. He moved his hand down her body, leaving a trail of fire in its path. He reached her curls and parted them, finding her clit. He brushed his thumb against it and moved his index finger inside her. She gasped and arched her back, encouraging him. He moved his finger in and out, quickly adding a second and third as she got closer to her release. He moved his fingers faster and faster and felt her muscles tighten around them. He pressed his thumb into her clit and she came, moaning his name.
He lay down on top of her, waiting for her to regain her breath, his erection pressing into her. She played with his hair as she came down from her high. He began to suck on the sensitive skin of her neck, biting occasionally. When her breathing returned to normal, she put a hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For believing in me even after all the hurt I've caused you. For loving me. I don't deserve it."
"That's where you're wrong, Irina. You do deserve it, and so much more."
She laughed. "Oh, like what?"
"Like this," he said, once again taking hold of one of her nipples.
She reached a hand between their bodies, wrapping a hand around his erection. He propped himself up on his elbows, searching her face. "Make love to me,,Jack," she said as she guided him to her.
He pushed her hand away and slid into her, watching her face. For a long second he was still, allowing her time to adjust to his size. The slight lift of her hips let him know she was ready and he began to move slowly. He planned to make it last as long as possible.
Irina had other ideas and lifted her hips again, trying to make him increase the pace, but he wouldn't. Instead she locked her legs around him, taking him deeper. Jack wanted to take it slow, to remember every detail, increasing the pace little by little. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and she thrust her hips into him. "Please, Jack." She moved her hands and cupped his ass.
Hearing her beg was his undoing. He let go of all the restraint he had been holding onto and began to pound into her. "Oh God Jack, yes." She nearly growled the words which made him move faster. He wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, but he wanted her to come first. He lowered his lips to hers, the rhythm of his tongue caressing hers matching the thrusting of his hips.
He was close to his own release and he knew he couldn't hold off. "Look at me." Her eyes met his. "Come for me, Irina. Just relax and let yourself go." Her breathing changed and he knew she was just as close as he was. "Come on, Irina." Her muscles tightened around him and she found her release. She buried her face into his shoulder, biting him. Jack gave a final thrust and came with a shudder, his orgasm triggering another of Irina's. He collapsed onto her as she came down.
Jack pulled out of her and rolled to the side, moving off her. She turned onto her side, crossing one leg over his and propping herself up on an elbow. She started to play with the sparse hair on his chest. He moved a hand around her, letting it rest on her hip.
�I love you," she said.
"I love you, too." He kissed her lips. "Now let's get some sleep. We have a mission to accomplish tomorrow." They moved under the covers, returning to their previous position. Irina put her head on his shoulder and soon they were both asleep, content for the first time in a long time.
