Page 70 of The Acquisition

Jana's breath caught. The breathy sound made my cock twitch, but I forced myself to wait when all I wanted was to plunge deep inside her and slake the hunger I had for her. All my energy was focused on causing more of those sounds.

Her hands fisted in my hair and pulled until we were looking each other in the eyes. "Colt, stop teasing me."

"That's what we do, though, isn't it? You push, I pull, and we fight each other and for each other. You know what we need to work on?"

She yanked on my hair again and growled when I didn't bury my face where she wanted me most. The resulting sound reminded me of an angry kitten. "Listen, pops, if you're having a difficult time getting in the mood—"

I growled at her. "Pops is worse than gramps."

"Is it worse than blue balls, because if you don't stop teasing me I'm going to take matters into my own hands."

Her words didn't have the impact she wanted. "Show me," I demanded.

When she didn't move, I took her hand and placed it on top of her mound. With my fingers guiding hers, we parted the lips of her pussy and stroked her clit.

I watched as her eyes glazed over. Her fingers started to move without my guidance, and the breathy sounds that escaped her mouth drove me wild.

"Don't stop," I ordered. She gasped as I plunged my tongue inside her. We worked in tandem to send her falling over the edge.

As her legs released their vice grip on my head, I crawled up her body. The edge I was balancing on had gotten thinner and thinner. Our fingers twined together, and I held her hands above her head.

Jana wrapped her legs around my waist and pulled me home. I dropped my forehead down to rest against hers and breathed her in. The words were sitting there on my tongue, begging to break free.I love you.I tried, but fear had my throat closing, refusing to push those three simple words out. Because, strung together, those words were anything but simple.

I needed to know I had her heart before I handed her mine on a silver platter. It wasn't brave, but having lived with heartbreak for half my life, I didn't particularly want to set myself up to fall back into that hole.

She was right earlier. We needed to work on our communication if we were to last. But words weren't the only way to speak to each other. This time we let our bodies do the talking. Our conversation consisted of gasps and moans. As I came, I poured my love into her. I filled her with all the longing and love I couldn't give voice to.

Jana woke as I zipped the last of our bags. I set a change of clothes on the foot of the bed next to mine. There were benefits to going to bed nude, and being able to pack for a surprise trip was one of them.

"As much as I hate encouraging you to get dressed, I've got a surprise for you, and it will require clothes."

She stretched, causing the sheet to expose her beautiful tits.

"On second thought, fuck the surprise." I advanced toward her.

She scrambled out of bed and dashed for the bathroom, laughing as I chased her. I caught her around the waist and walked us both into the shower. I spent the next thirty minutes getting her dirty before I made sure she was clean again.

I went to the other room to retrieve our clothes while she dried her hair. When I returned, she looked at me in the mirror. "I don't think you understand the meaning of a quickie," she teased.

"Maybe you'll think twice before you call me an old man again."

She pressed her body against mine, wrapping her arms around my neck. "You're still an old man, but you're my old man."

"Put on some clothes, brat. We've got a plane to catch."

TWENTY-SEVEN

JANA

"Aplane? We're in Europe. You know, the land of working public transportation? Don't tell me you've gotten so particular in your old age that you can't mix with the masses anymore."

He rolled his eyes at me. "No, brat, I need private transport to give you the spanking you're clearly begging for."

"I—" Colt pressed his finger against my lips as I was about to issue my retort.

His finger remained on my mouth as he interrupted me. "I know whatever you were about to say was likely a sarcastic masterpiece, but let's both be real for a minute. When I said we needed to work on our communication, I didn't mean we should level our sarcasm up. I already said that I wanted to surprise you. I can't exactly do that if the destination is broadcast over a loudspeaker, now can I?"
