Page 86 of Love Lies Bleeding

My eyes flutter closed at his words, savoring every sensation.

“Open your eyes, Blossom.”

My eyes pop open as he gives me a look of approval that makes my shoulders lift back. Jake guides his cock between my lips, his hands gripping my cheeks.

“You gonna be a good girl and take what I give you?”

My mouth is full of his thick, veiny cock, so I nod my assent instead. Jake hums and pulls back before sliding between my lips again, his head thrown back in pleasure as he begins to fuck my mouth.

I suck and lick as best I can, but this isn’t in my control, he has it all, and I love it. He uses my mouth as tears run down my cheeks, his cock head making me gag as saliva drools down my chin.

This isn’t romantic, nor is it polite. It’s raw, base fucking and I own it. I revel in the power I’ve willingly handed over to him. His cock blocks my airway as my nose tickles against the hair of his groin. My vision flitters black at the edges and my hand slides between my legs but firm fingers stop me as he pulls back, allowing air to rush into my burning lungs.

“Did I say you could touch my pussy?”

A moan of frustration has me digging my fingers into his hard thighs as he increases his pace. His body is rigid, his movements jerky as he stills for a split second and then a roar of pleasure leaves him and thick ropes of his come hit my throat. It’s salty as I swallow every drop until he slides out from between my lips with a pop.

I sag back on my heels as he leans against the counter. Jake bends, hooking me under the arms with his hands and lifting me so my feet dangle off the ground and his nose rubs against my neck. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and we stay wrapped in our bubble until someone bangs on the door.

“Get a fucking room. Some people need to pee.”

A burst of laughter falls from me and soon we’re both laughing like loons. As we sober, reality intrudes and Jake holds my cheek in one hand, his free arm holding up against his body.

“I meant it, Blossom, what I said tonight. Not the way I wanted to tell you, but it doesn’t make it less true. I do love you. I’ve always loved you and I always will.”

“Then tell me the truth.”

“Let me take you home and I’ll tell you everything.”

I stare into his eyes and see nothing but honesty waiting for me. I nod once, hoping I don’t end this night with my heart in tatters.

28. Cherry

My beautiful little home, which once felt perfectly proportioned, feels small as I close and lock the door behind Jake and I. Sudden nerves flutter over my skin as I walk into the living room, and dump my purse on the small credenza that splits the living area from the dining table.

“Can I get you a drink?” My hands feel lost like they don’t know where they should be as I rub wet palms against my dress.

“Blossom, come here.”

My feet are moving before I can stop them and I find myself in front of Jake who’s standing in front of the couch. His hands reach for me, his palms on my ass as he pulls me close. I can feel the hardness of his cock against me and a frisson of desire sparks along my spine, making me wriggle.

A sharp slap has me stilling.

“Behave, or I’ll forget every good intention in my head and fuck you right here.”

My hips shimmy and I give him a coy look meant to entice, but all I get is a bewildered frown, followed by a soft look that makes me want to weep.

“What are you afraid of? You wanted this, you deserve these answers but now you’re trying to distract me from telling you.”

He’s right. I’ve wanted these answers for so long. Conjured up different scenarios in my head where he begs for my forgiveness, but now it’s happening, I’m afraid that maybe there is some truth in what Lorelei said. Perhaps he was looking for a way out.

“Nothing. Just… the unknown, I guess.”

Things with Jake and I feel so tentative right now, like the slightest wrong move and this house of cards we’ve built will tumble to the ground.

Jake falls backward on the couch, taking me with him, so I’m sprawled out across his lap, his arms cradling me close. I go to push off him and he tightens his hold.

“Stay.”
