Recap
Susan's eyes widened but she kept her mouth shut, simply putting the tray down and dropping another curtsy before leaving. Jo closed and locked the door behind her.
Now on with the story!
She turned and leaned against the door, eyes raking over me. I flushed. Jo pushed off from the door and came closer, reaching to hold my hands.
"Do you trust me Maggie?" she whispered.
I made a face. "Of course!"
Jo took a deep breath and pulled me to the bed. She laid down first and then I cuddled into her side. Her arms went around me and she pulled the blanket over us.
"I need to tell you something and I would like you to listen to all I have to say before judging me. Please..." She begged, her gaze on the canopy of me bed. My fingers trace patterns on her flat stomach and I nod, wondering what she has to tell me.
"I'm an assassin."
I freeze.
"And I was sent here...to kill you."
I pull away from her and sit up, waiting. I promised I would listen before making any judgement.
"My boss...sent me here to gain your trust and then....murder you." Her voice cracked and it sounded like she was holding back tears. I looked closely at her. My beautiful Jo. Her gorgeous blue-green eyes were filled with tears and her lips were pulled down in a frown as they wobbled slightly.
"Jo..." I said breathlessly.
"No! Let me finish...please." she begs, sitting and wrapping her arms around her self. I nod, hating to see her like this.
"While on this...assignment...I came across a obstacle. You. I started to fall in love. With you." she whispers, closing her eyes. I stay silent, expecting more that never comes. "Please say something! even if it's to ask me to lea-"
I cut her off by pressing our lips together. I pull away once I'm sure she won't try to stop me. "Don't you dare finish that sentence Princess. I am in love with you and I am not going anywhere."
Jo sniffles. "Y-you love me? even after everything I just told you?"
I smiled softly. "Have you made an attempt on my life yet?" She shakes her head, confused. "Do you plan to?" I continued. She shook her head again. "then I don't care what you did in the past. That's where it'll stay. The past. I love you and there is no way I'm letting you go now!" I grinned and kissed her again. It starts off soft and slow but soon becomes heated as Jo's hand finds it way into my curls, tangling and pulling gently. I kiss back with equal passion, my tongue swiping across her lush bottom lip. She moans softly and I pull away, knowing not to push too far.
"I love you too." Jo pants, eyes now a dark green with flecks of blue. Her lips are red and swollen and her face is flushed. Her strawberry-blonde hair formed a halo around her head.
I smile widely at her words and kiss her again. "Good. I plan on courting you until you agree to marry me."
Jo giggles and kisses back. I smile back and quickly move to straddle Jo's hips. She doesn't seem to mind and I roll my hips once over hers. She stiffens and looks up at me, curious.
I grin. "Sleepy?" I tease. She vehemently shakes her head. I kiss her harshly in reply, slipping my tongue into her mouth to swallow her gasp. She fights for dominance and I easily give in, letting myself drift on pleasure.
Jo POV
I grip Maggie's hips, rolling them against mine. I moan into her mouth. she pulls back and I watch avidly as she sits up and continues to roll her hips. Her head is thrown back, eyes closed and mouth open. I can hear her breath coming in short gasps and pants. I lean up slightly and push up her nightgown. Once the gauzy material is out of the way, I kiss her stomach from one side to the other. Her hands go down to grip fistfuls of my hair and tug. I chuckle against her skin and tilted my head back to look up at her.
"Jo?" she looks down at me.
"Yes love?"
"Why did you stop?" She pouted.
"We want to keep your virtue intact, yes?" I grin, my fingers dancing up her back.
She flushed. "Right...of course..." she rolled off and sat up.
"Ah, ah, ah...where are you going?" I asked, pulling her back and tucking her into my side.
"But you said..."
"But I didn't say we couldn't cuddle." I kissed her nose, grinning when she crinkled it in response.
"Alright. Just sleeping."
"Mhhmm." I hummed, closing my eyes. We both fell asleep.
I hope this satisfies...Ehhh, i'm not to happy with it. It gets better and much more interesting soon. I promise. This is mostly just fluff and relationship development. Well get to the fun stuff soon.
