Anna

I hearhim in the dark, softly moving across the bedroom floor. He sits on his side of the bed and I feel his weight sinking the mattress.

I roll over to look at him. “Hey,” I say.

Jake twists back. “Crap, I didn’t wake you, did I?” he asks. “I tried being quiet…”

“You didn’t.” I shift up onto my elbow. “How was it?”

“The bar looks so good,” he says. “Really looking forward to the party.”

“Was Vincent cool?” I ask with a yawn. “Because if he wasn’t, I’ll beat him up.”

“No, he was cool. No beat-ups required.”

“Good.”

He turns down his side and slides beneath the blanket. “What have you been doing?”

I stretch my legs. “Working,” I answer.

“Any luck finding your killer?”

I feign a groan. “No. Dougie, Kendall, and I are hitting the evidence as hard as possible tomorrow morning. We can’t afford to—”

“Shh…” Jake raises his arm. “Come here. Don’t worry about it right now.”

I smile and move over. I feel the weight slide off my shoulders the second my skin touches his. He’s shirtless, wearing nothing but his boxers and a pair of socks. I rub our feet together and he rests his hand on my shoulder, holding me against him. His lips purse against my head. I sense him smell me.

God, this feels good.

I’ve never had this before. I’ve never been with a man long enough to know how it feels to curl up at the end of a long day and just relax. I’ve never known anyone who looked forward to ending the day with me.

I slowly move my hand down his abs. He flexes, then exhales softly as I slide my fingers into his boxers. I turn my head up, instantly locking lips with him. He cups my face, pulling me in as I stroke him.

“Are you too tired?” he asks, growing hard.

“No.”

We kiss again, harder and deeper. He turns into me, reaching down to pull my shorts and panties off. We move in the dark, easily shifting into position with me on my back and him between my thighs. I feel his hardness pressed against me, triggering pleasure to take over my core. He guides his cock inside, moving slowly to make me feel every inch of him.

I let out a soft moan into his mouth and he crushes his lips on mine. I raise my hips to meet his easy thrusts, taking him deep. He grunts as his hand moves up my body to find mine. We entwine our fingers, losing ourselves in each other as we try and keep quiet.

“Anna…” His breath grazes my cheek. “You feel so good.”

I kiss his neck, dragging my lips down to bite his shoulder. “Don’t stop…”

He pushes up on his hands, towering over me as he fucks me a little harder. I spread my knees to let him take me, feeling the power building in my core. I run my hands down his body in the dark, moaning a little louder but I try to hold myself together. Charlotte wakes at the drop of a hat these days.

Jake rolls onto his back, taking me with him. My head sways with a dizzy rush as he balances me over him. I settle into position on top and ease him back inside of me, triggering a breathy moan from both of us.

I roll my hips, sending him deeper inside. We both tense up in pleasure. I bite my lip and swallow the moan begging to break free.

He sits up, wrapping his arms around me and burying his face in my breasts. “Anna…” He says my name, sending fire down my spine.

I kiss him, combing my fingers through his thick, dark hair.
