Page 86 of Trip Through Your Wires

“I’m yours, Jake. Only yours.”

Grabbing both tits, he fucks me under the water until both of us are panting, and when I come, he pulls my back against his chest, thrusting up until his own climax hits, in time with mine. I am his and I know without a doubt that he is mine. Distance, draft, and broken dreams be damned.

Chapter 19

Jake

Later that afternoon, as we’re standing outside saying goodbye, it’s hard to stop smiling. The past twenty-four hours have been such a whirlwind, but I couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

I never dreamed things would go the way they did when I first arrived. Honestly, given Jenica’s chilly reception when I first showed up, I thought I’d be back at the airport yesterday, changing my ticket for an earlier flight. But I should know by now that the universe always finds a way of reminding you that you are not in charge.

Neither one of us could stop the force of nature that was us and last night sealed that very fact. Not only are we the keeper of each other’s secrets, but she is the owner of my heart, and I hers. I know I am. I saw it in her eyes. But I won’t push her to admit it just yet. Having her back in my life and knowing she is mine is enough. For now.

“Damn you’re beautiful.” I tuck a strand of slightly damp hair behind one ear. “How did I get so lucky?”

She blushes and places a hand on my chest. “You need to get your eyes checked.”

“No way,” I smile. “I have perfect vision and all they see is you.”

Not only is Jenica beautiful, smart, and strong, but she is also one hell of a pitcher. She hadn’t thrown a pitch in two years and yet she threw with accuracy and power. It was incredible. Not to mention, a massive turn on. I loved baseball, but watching the girl of my dreams not only play it, but love it, too? Shit, it’s like winning the lottery of life—twice.

“So,” she places her other hand on my chest and looks up. “What happens now?”

“What do you want to happen?” I rub my hands up and down her arms. “We can do this any way you want.”

“I don’t expect you to do the long distance thing,” she presses her nails into my chest. “But I don’t want anyone else to have you.”

I grin, loving what she just said. “I’m yours, Sparky. I thought I made that clear. But for the record,” I cup her face, stroking her cheeks with my thumbs, “the same goes for you. I may be easy going but all bets are off if anyone touches my girl.”

She bites down on the inside of her cheek, trying to stop the grin that is so clearly tugging at her lips. “Your girl, huh? Feeling possessive, Hot Shot?”

“Hell yeah.” I drop my hands to her hips and lean in. “Your body. Your secrets. Your pleasure. They’re mine, no one else’s.”

Nuzzling her neck she laughs softly as the whiskers of my five o’clock shadow tickle her skin. “What do you want to happen, Sparky? We tell everyone, or we tell no one. It’s your call.”

“I don’t want to lose you,” she says without hesitation. “And I don’t want those Highland whores looking at you. If they do, I won’t just scratch their eyes out, I’ll feed them the remains. But this just happened. We deserve some time to ourselves.”

“You won’t lose me.” I pull back and stare into those eyes that are like a clear summer day. “And they can look all they want, but it won’t matter. I’m not looking back because I am taken. But the idea of giving us time to enjoy this…I think it’s a good one.”

I lower my mouth to hers once more and the moan she lets out when I kiss her stirs an ache in my chest. “I don’t want to make this difficult,” she whispers against my lips. “You have to focus on school and the draft.”

“Difficult,” I cut her off. The fact her hesitancy is worry for me, not her own reservations, puts me at ease. “Shit, Sparky, you and I are the easiest thing in my life.”

A beautiful grin tugs at her lips. “And what about you know who?”

“We will tell them when we’re ready. Until then, I am yours, and you are mine, and we will talk every day, just like before. And…” I add, “I’ll plug my answering machine back in so I never miss a call from you ever again.”

She presses up on her toes and throws her arms around my neck. “Sounds perfect.”

Moving my hands under her ass, I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and we kiss again. This time deeper, and longer.

“Fuck this ass,” I groan. “I’m going to dream about it every night until I see you again. Speaking of, put in to get the time off work now for Charleston.”

“Will do.” She flashes me a wicked smile. “My ass can’t wait.”

I laugh and set her back down, then reach for the car door and climb into the driver’s seat. “Do you want me to book you a plane ticket?” I ask after starting car and roll down the window.

“No,” she shoves both hands in the back pockets of her jeans. “I can drive.”
