Page 42 of A Night To Remember

“I’m sorry if it seems like I’m hedging, but it will be my first time away from her for more than the time at work. I’m so used to fixing her breakfast, putting her to bed and reading her a story.”

“I may be a novice at those things, but I’ll do my best. You do trust me with her, don’t you?”

She nodded. “I trusted you with her the minute I saw you two together. I guess I’m just being an overprotective mom. Okay, you can have her next weekend, but I suggest you childproof your house. Kristy is in her inquisitive phase. Sometimes she likes to take things apart to see how they work.”

“I got it covered. My mother can help me with that stuff. Don’t worry. I’m sure Kristy will have a great time at the zoo.”

“I think she’ll really like it too. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled to spend time with her new cousins,” she agreed.

“Charlie?”

“Yes?”

“What about us?” Jake couldn’t help asking.

Her eyes darted away from his. “What about us?”

“You know exactly what I mean. Where does this leave us?”

“Other than the fact that we have a daughter together, Jake, there is no us,” Charlie denied.

“How can you say that after the way we made love earlier?” He glanced at her, wanting to pull her in his arms and prove once and for all they belonged together.

“We didn’t make love. We fucked.” Charlie was blunt in her assessment.

Jake’s hackles were raised. It may have been fucking to her, but he had made love. “So is fucking all there is between us?” he challenged.

“No. There’s nothing between us.” She got up to pace the floor.

“You’re starting to sound like a broken record, Charlie. You keep saying there is no us, but you melt in my arms each time.

“Not anymore,” she protested.

Jake was behind her in an instant. He grabbed her shoulders and forcibly turned her around to face him.

“You’re a liar, Charlie Brown.” Jake pulled her body against his hardness. “I can feel your body responding to mine already. Your nipples are hard. They’re poking through your shirt, waiting for my touch.”

She opened her mouth to protest and then immediately closed it. He knew she didn’t have a leg to stand on and so did she. Already Jack was rock hard and he needed her.

Bad.

He rubbed his stiffness against her thigh, desperate to be inside of her again. She pushed against his chest, but Jake’s arms tightened around her. “Don’t deny me, Charlie, especially when you know we both want this.” Jake lowered his head.

He crushed her rose-petal-soft lips beneath his. His hunger for her knew no bounds. Charlie tried to twist her head away, but Jake cupped the back of her head, keeping it immobile.

She muttered something against his lips, but Jake was too aroused to hear what she said. His tongue shot out, demanding entry into her sweet mouth. With a sigh, Charlie leaned against his body, surrendering to the wave of passion created by their mutual desire. Jake took his time exploring her body, touching her breasts, her ass and her thighs. He loved the way she trembled within his arms.

Jake unzipped her jeans and slid his fingers between her legs, pushing past the silky fabric of her panties in order to touch her throbbing pussy. He was eager to feel her damp heat.

He slipped his middle finger between the moist folds. “Mmm, just how I like you—wet and ready for me.”

Charlie wiggled, making his finger go deeper inside her hot sheath. She moaned. “Oh God, Jake! That feels so good. You always know how to touch me in all the right places.”

Jake smiled, pleased he could give her so much pleasure. Her juices wet his hand as he continued to finger her. “Do you like this, sweetheart?” he whispered against her ear.

“You know I do,” came her breathy reply.

With great reluctance, he removed his hand. He rubbed his dew-slicked fingers over her bottom lip. “Lick it. Taste how delicious you are.”
