“Yep. You go back in there and spread the word. I’m with Jess, and that’s how it’s going to be from nowon.”
Gasps fall around me, but the only one I give a shit for isJess.
I cup her face, her green eyes calling to me. “Told you, you needed to make sure.” I take her mouth as if she’s my last meal and all I ever wanted, because sheis.
I hear another swift intake of breath from Abby, but don’t give a fuck. Instead, I deepen the kiss, letting this woman, and everyone else she tells, know that Jess ismine.
I break away as the lust burns bright. I just had her and need her again. I brush my lips against hers lightly, then grab my helmet, strapping it on her head before climbing on thebike.
“Geton.”
She does, and her hot pussy rests against my ass. I could go hours like this, but I want her in my bed. She needs to be in mybed.
I pull her arms tightly around me, and she holds on, while Abby still stands in the parking lot, gaping at us as we take off into the night. I couldn’t give a shit. I finally have my girl on the back of my bike asmy womanfor good, because I’m not letting hergo.
Pulling up to my house, the lights around the porch illuminate. The three-bedroom ranch sits on a half-acre lot, which you don’t find a lot on the outskirts ofChicago.
When it came up for sale, I had to buy it. The people before me passed away, and their kids just wanted to get rid of it. It wasn’t in good shape. Everything needed to be updated, but I did it all with ease. I’m proud of it. Lots of blood and sweat went intoit.
Jess gets off the bike and I follow, taking the helmet off her head. She flips her hair around, and damn if it isn’t the sexiest thing I’ve everseen.
I tug her hand, pulling her close. Even only having her maybe an hour ago, I still can’t keep my damn hands off her. I neverwill.
Kissing her lips, she greedily takes more. It makes me wonder how long she’s had these feelings for me, and how much time we wasted without one another. No more. None of that mattersanymore.
I pull away, hearing her breaths come out in small pants, then waste no time getting her inside the house where I flip on the light switch, illuminating theroom.
“Wow,” she says as I pull her further into theroom.
The floorplan is open making the living room, dining room, and kitchen all one big space, only separated by a countertop bar. Everything is new—wood floors, paint, hell, I even redid all the electrical just to be on the safeside.
Having Jess in this space feels so damnright.
“I like it,” I reply nonchalantly as she takes everythingin.
“You did all of this?” she asks, moving to the fireplace that I covered in stone from floor to ceiling. She skates her fingers over thestone.
“Sure did.” I walk up behind her, putting my arms around her body, and she instantly melts into me, resting her back against me as if we’ve done this a thousand timesbefore.
“It’s beautiful, Sanders. You did a fantastic job.” She tilts her head back, exposing her neck in the stretch. Who am I to miss a greatopportunity?
I lean down, placing my lips on hers. She meets me move for move, resting her hand on my cheek. Damn, that feelsgood.
Turning her in my arms and breaking the kiss, I place my forehead against hers. “I can’t believe you’re actuallyhere.”
“You know, if you would’ve asked me, I would’ve comesooner.”
The stone in my gut drops. I thought she would saythat.
“How long?”That I missed out on you, I want to say, but don’tfinish.
“Forever.”
I close my eyes. I may have wasted time, but that is no more. Never anymore. When she was younger she made it painfully obvious, but I thought over the years that sizzle between us fizzled out. It hadn’t, and I’m a damn idiot for trying towait.
“Never anymore,” I repeat my thoughts aloud. “Absolutely no more wastedtime.”
She sucks her bottom lip into her mouth, and I pull away to watch. Damn, that’s fucking hot. I want to bite thatshit.
