Chapter Five
“I really don’t know what is happening right now.” Piper’s lips tingled, and her body was on fire. Her tits felt heavy and her pussy slick. Staring at Jack, she’d never thought he’d kiss her like that. There had been a few occasions she’d imagined it. She’d known deep down, he never would though.
He just did.
“What do you want to happen?” He stroked her arm, and she simply stared at him.
There were fleeting moments where she’d wondered what it would be like to have him look at her as if she was more than someone to protect. “Why now?” she asked.
“You’re ready now.”
She frowned. “I don’t understand.”
He stroked her arms, and she enjoyed his touch more than anything else. “You were too young, and with everything that had happened with you because of your mother, I didn’t want to bring back bad memories. I wanted you to find a place where you could be yourself.”
“I am myself.” She didn’t get it. He could have any woman he ever wanted, and yet he was choosing her. “Is this just about sex?”
“No. It’s not, and believe me when I say I’m just as confused as you.” She didn’t talk, giving him time to explain what he meant. “Women are all easy for me, Piper. I don’t do this with anyone else.”
“You don’t do what?”
“I don’t care, okay? I don’t give a shit if they’re happy, or sad. I only get what I want. There’re no feelings involved. Then you came along, and you make me want to be better for you. I was a complete fucking stranger, and yet you still came toward me, and tried to make me feel better. What kind of person does that? I could have been an axe murderer, rapist, child molester, you name it, but you put your fucking life on the line to offer me some comfort.”
“I’m sorry,” she said.
“I didn’t think of you, and that stupid book was packed away for the longest time. It was only when I was looking for some damn cufflinks for a date with another woman that I even found it again. Once I saw it, I knew I had to return it.”
“I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“Then don’t say anything you don’t want, or do anything.” He stepped forward, cupping her face.
She couldn’t look away, nor did she want to.
“I can’t get you out of my head, and I want to.” He ran his thumb across her bottom lip.
“You think about me?” she asked.
“Yes. All the time.”
“What kind of thoughts do you have?”
“The wicked kind. The kind that is not supposed to be told to a virgin.”
The thumb pushed against her lips, and she opened her mouth, taking him inside. She may be a virgin, but she had needs just like everyone else. The books she read, the movies she watched, they were teasers to what she really wanted.
Sucking on his thumb, she kept her gaze on his finally releasing him. “Tell me what you want, Jack.”
“More than you can ever imagine.”
She could imagine a lot, but she’d tamed her desires to be the parent Brian needed. Her brother more than anything needed to be stable.
“This won’t be a one-time thing, Piper. You give yourself to me, and you’re mine. I’ll own every part of you.”
His warnings made her pause.
“Will you stop me going to college?”
“No.”
