She waved off Jake’s objections and walked out onto the porch.
The only sound in the room was the fire crackling softly. Lyndsey felt the world outside fade away, leaving just the two of them in the quiet. Her pulse quickened as Jake’s hand moved, his fingers brushing against hers again, lingering this time.
“Jake...” she began, her voice faltering.
He shifted closer, his eyes searching hers. “Tell me to stop.”
She didn’t. Instead, she leaned in, her breath mingling with his as the space between them disappeared. Their lips met, the kiss tentative at first, then deepening. Jake’s hand cupped her cheek, his touch firm and steady, grounding her even as her world tilted.
Lyndsey’s hands found their way to his shoulders, her fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt as she pulled him closer. The kiss was a release, a culmination of the fear, the frustration, and the undeniable pull they’d both been fighting.
Jake pulled back just enough to rest his forehead against hers, his breath ragged. “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Lyndsey whispered, her voice firm and certain,
The feel of his hands on her waist, the heat of his body so close to hers—it was overwhelming and perfect all at once. Jake kissed her again, his lips exploring hers with a tenderness that belied his usual hardened exterior.
He stood up, scooped her up and carried her to her bedroom, his movements deliberate but unhurried, as though savoring every moment. Lyndsey’s heart raced as he closed the door behind them, shutting out the world and leaving just the two of them in the dim light.
Setting her on her feet, Jake’s hands slid up her sides, his touch igniting a fire that spread through her entire body. He took his time, his movements reverent as though memorizing every curve. Lyndsey responded in kind, her hands exploring the hard planes of his chest and shoulders, marveling at the strength and gentleness intertwined in this man.
Jake didn’t hesitate to get them both naked before lowering Lyndsey onto the mattress and beginning to tease her with his tongue. He licked and nibbled her mouth, her chin, her throat and her breasts. He took one of her breasts in his mouth and suckled it while his hand glided down her body, following the curves. He covered her mound with his hand before sliding it between her thighs to explore her wetness and slip a finger inside her, moving it with the deftness of a master. In and out. In and out until Lyndsey’s hips began to lift as if begging for more.
He obliged, slowly and confidently kissing his way down her body until his head was between her legs. He speared her with his tongue, drawing out her honey as he began to devour her like a ravenous beast.Lyndsey jutted her hips up to meet his mouth.
Jake licked her up and down before gliding his long fingers over her wet labia, dipping them inside her pussy as he continued licking her and flicking his tongue against her clit—all the while making her squirm.
Lyndsey closed her eyes to block out the world and focus on the sensations rolling through her body. Jake pushed his fingers deeper as he suckled her clit, thrusting them in and out.
As masterfully as he’d started, he stopped and slid his rock-hard body up against hers until his lips were on her breasts. He flicked his tongue around her erect nipples, sending tingling sensations throughout her body, making her skin goose pimple. He kissed her neck and grabbed her right ear, nipping the lobe as he began to push the broad head of his cock past her opening.Slowly he withdrew before pushing forward again—this time all the way to his balls.
He began pumping in and out of her, gradually increasing the speed and strength of his thrusts until they were both breathing heavily and in synchronized rhythm.
He grasped her thighs, lifting them up and behind his back. “Lock your ankles.”
Lyndsey obliged and Jake started slowly to grind against her as he increased how hard and how fast he fucked her. Lyndsey gasped.
Jake chuckled before beginning to pound into her, forcing her into a powerful orgasm than triggered his own. His body twisted and turned, before he finally settled as he filled her with his cum. He took her nipple in his mouth and bit down gently.
Lyndsey hissed as her pussy spasmed around his cock. “I could get used to this.”
He smiled and leaned his head against hers. “I don’t want you to get used to this. I want you to beg for it.”
“I could learn to beg,” she said with a grin.
As sleep claimed her, Lyndsey couldn’t help but think that whatever tomorrow brought, they’d face it together. And for the first time in a long time, that felt like enough.
Lyndsey wasn’t sure how long she’d been asleep when she was awakened by Jake’s hand covering her mouth and Reyna crouching beside them as she whispered, “We’ve got company.”
CHAPTER ELEVEN
JAKE
Jake stirred awake to the soft sound of footsteps in the hallway. His instincts kicked in before his mind fully registered his surroundings. His arm tightened reflexively around Lyndsey, who was curled against his chest, her breathing soft and even in sleep. The warmth of her body against his and the serenity of the moment tempted him to stay put. Jake covered Lyndsey’s mouth to keep her quiet.
Reyna was low, beside the bed. “We’ve got company.”
He was on his feet in an instant, his movements fluid and silent. Lyndsey blinked awake, her brow furrowed in confusion as she sat up, clutching the sheet to her chest. “What’s going on?” she asked, her voice quiet and still held traces of sleep.
