Page 68 of A Night To Remember

Charlie sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “Jake, this can’t happen again.”

“Don’t do this, Charlie.”

She raised both brows. “Don’t do what? You’re the one who used our daughter to get what you wanted. You insisted on spending time with Kristy every other weekend and I have no problem with that, but you can’t just expect us to have these family outings at your whim.”

“Didn’t you enjoy yourself today?”

“That’s beside the point. We can’t keep doing this. Kristy will start getting ideas. Didn’t you hear her tonight? She already wants you to move in with us and that’s not going to happen.”

“That’s right because it would be more practical for the two of you move in with me. I have a lot more room. If anything, today should have shown you how good we are together. We are a family. We belong together.”

“It’s not going to happen, Jake. We can be friends for the sake of our child, but beyond that there can be nothing else.”

Jake was tired of her denying what they had. He was certain the connection he felt between them wasn’t all in his head. Jake was just as sure that Charlie felt it too but she was too deep in denial. At this point there was only one way he could get through to her.

‘”So, is your other offer still open?”

She took a step backward almost as if she had read his mind. “What are you talking about?”

“About us being lovers.”

She shook her head vehemently. “Obviously that’s not a good idea. You made it into something that it wasn’t. Let’s just keep things platonic.

“You love me and I’m not going to let you deny it anymore.”

“I don’t love you!” she shouted.

Something inside of Jake snapped. He closed the short distance between the two of them and grabbed her by the forearms. He captured her mouth in a hungry kiss.

Charlie pushed against his chest but he refused to let her go. Jake lifted her into his arms and carried her to the couch. “Jake no!”

“Yes,” he growled, unbuckling her jeans and pulling them off.

Her half-hearted protests didn’t fool him for a second. She wanted him too. Her body trembled and lips quivered. Her mouth told lies, but her eyes didn’t. Once he discarded her jeans he ripped off her panties and then unfastened his own pants.

Charlie shook her head. “Not like this.”

“Yes, like this. You want it. Why else is your pussy so wet?” And to prove his point he slipped a fingers inside her damp folds.

Charlie arched her back and moaned.

“See? You’re ready for me.” He removed his hand and fell on top of her. There was no foreplay necessary. Jake had to have her.

Positioning himself on top of her, he slammed his cock inside of her with one powerful thrust.

She was so warm and tight around his dick. If they didn’t belong together, why did it feel so right? An unexplainable force seemed to take hold of him because once Jake got started, he couldn’t stop. He plowed into Charlie over and over again. “Mine,” he growled.

He could hear her whimpers and moans as she grabbed fistfuls of his shirt. The little sounds she made in the back of her throat made him go harder and faster until he was like a man possessed. He didn’t stop until he spilled his seed deep inside of her.

Jake fought to catch his breath after collapsing on top of her. By the time he regained his bearings, he realized this wasn’t how he wanted things to be between them. He needed her to be honest about her feelings or they couldn’t move forward.

He grasped her by the chin. “Tell me you love me.”

Charlie’s eyes seemed bright with the suspicious sheen of tears. “I…I don’t.” She looked away from him.

She was lying, but Jake couldn’t continue to fight this battle if Charlie wasn’t willing to give even an inch.

Without another word, he rolled off of her and adjusted his pants. “I guess there’s nothing left to be said.”
