What the hell did the mayor mean about costing him money? He had to have meant the city money, right? Even then, I think the land developers would cost us more than they’d make us.

I push all that out of my head, as I let Jasper take me to my room. Instead, I focus on how he jumped right into action and defended Lin.

Once we’re back in my room, I close the door and turn to look at him.

“Thank you,” I tell him. Though, it feels so inadequate for how I’m feeling right now.

His face softens.

“You don’t have to thank me, Firefly. Lin is a friend to both of us, and I know she’s the closest thing to family you have, so that makes her important to me. There was no scenario where I didn’t step in.”

This man is the Jasper I fell in love with all those years ago, but so much better. He’s aged perfectly, grown up, and only become greater. He’s protective and sentimental. Sweet and caring, but he has a hard side for those that cross him. He still knows me, and I know, I know him, too.

He takes a step closer, and a million things are still running through my head.

“Don’t you know I’d do anything for you?” He asks, before leaning down to kiss me. “Because I would, and because I still love you. I don’t think I ever stopped.” He kisses me again.

He loves me. I know he’s shown it, but he just said it, and I don’t know, if I can say it back. He leans in and kisses me again, and my brain short circuits. When it starts running again, I realize I’m ready. For him, and for us.

“I want you, Jasper, and I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. I want you and us. I want the dream we had back then, only I want to make it bigger and better.” I tell him.

His eyes search mine, like he’s waiting for me to say ‘gotcha’ and tell him I’m just joking.

“I mean it,” I whisper.

“Thank God.” He says, before his mouth is back on mine. Only this kiss isn’t soft and sweet, it’s deep and frantic and filled with need. It’s all the I love you’s wrapped into a kiss. I kiss him back just as hard, because while I may not be able to say the words right now, I sure as hell can show him how I feel.

He walks me back towards my bed, all without taking his hands or his mouth off me. When the back of my knees hit the bed, I sit on the edge and look up at him.

He removes his shirt in that swift motion only guys can master, and his muscles bulge and twist, as he does, and my eyes are riveted on them. With his tan chest on full display, my eyes rake over him. He leans down and slowly starts lifting my top, giving me time to stop him, but I won’t. I lift my arms, and he removes my top, and it joins his shirt on the floor.

While kissing me, he pushes me onto the bed and steps between my legs. He’s careful to keep his weight off me, as he starts kissing my chest and along the cups of my bra, before reaching behind me to unhook it. He slowly pulls it away and tosses it to the floor.

“You are more beautiful than I remember. How is that possible?” He asks.

“Says the guy who grew muscles on top of his muscles.” I smile and reach up to trail my hand down his chest. His skin and muscles flex under my touch.

He makes quick work of removing the rest of my clothes, and then stands back to look at every inch of me. If it was anyone else, I’d feel embarrassed, but the hunger in his eyes, tells me he likes what he sees.

“You have on too many clothes,” I say with a smile.

He removes his clothes, before his knees hit the floor in front of me. His hands on the inside of my thighs push my legs wide, as he gets closer.

“I have been dreaming of this moment for so long, Firefly. I’m going to take my time.” He says, as he runs his hands up my thighs to my hips and pulls my ass to the edge of the bed.

His hands rest on my lower belly, and his thumb starts to circle my clit. All I can do is close my eyes and let the sensation wash over me.

“Jasper.” I can’t seem to form the words I need to say, but he knows.

“Cum for me, Firefly.” He says and starts fucking me with his tongue. There’s no easing me into it. There’s just him, taking what he wants, and it pulls my orgasm from me, faster than I thought possible. Before I know it, I’m cumming and screaming his name.

He kisses his way back up my stomach, between my breasts, and up my neck to my lips. I can still taste myself on him, and it’s more erotic than I ever thought possible.

Jasper moves me up the bed, before standing and reaching into his pants for his wallet and pulling out a condom. He makes quick work of rolling it on, before he’s back on the bed and climbing over me.

He kisses his way up my stomach again, but this time, nips at the underside of my breasts, before scraping his teeth on the sides of my rib cage, where he knows I’m ticklish. I start laughing and trying to pull away from him, as his kisses glide up my neck again.
