Lucas settles into a rhythm easily, hooking one of my legs over his shoulder and pinning my other thigh to the bed so he can reach impossibly deeper.
My nails rake down the nape of his neck and over his shoulders, scraping proof of my adoration into his skin. He doesn’t slow down even as I start to tense beneath him, my orgasm slowly creeping through my veins, pleasure tightening in my gut. His fingers just dig into my skin, holding me exactly where he wants me as he drive into me and fucks my brains clear out of my head.
“Lucas, Lucas,fuck.” I chant his name in between sloppy kisses, arching into his thrusts as much as I can. “Right there, so good, I’m so close.”
He grins against my mouth, nipping at my lips as he reaches down to slide his thumb over my clit. My mind goes blank as pleasure sears through me, and I can hardlybreathethrough it.
“Say please, baby.”
I wail when he grinds deep against the spot that makes my whole body buzz with bliss, and I can do nothing but obey.
“Please, please,ple?—”
My voice breaks on a shout as my orgasm slams into me, white hot lightning in my core. Lucas doubles down, fucking me through it as he pants out praise that I can’t make any sense of. I yank him down fully on top of me while I ride the high, rocking against him as he moans into my ear.
“Fuck, pretty fucking—God, Jenny.”
Lucas barely manages to pull out before his own orgasm overtakes him. Come lands hot over my stomach and hips,dripping down between his fingers as he fucks into his hand to draw out the last few drops of pleasure.
“So perfect, my baby, look at you,” he mumbles as he shakes through the aftershocks.
I smile up at him when he reaches out to trace his fingers through the mess on my skin, basking in the hazy glow of slowly fading pleasure.
“Yours, Lucas.”
LUCAS
Holding Jenny through the afterglow of frankly incredible sex is quickly becoming my favorite pastime. Maybe second favorite, after making her come so hard her brain turns off.
Point is, this has to be what heaven is like.
Holding my girl close, strands of hair tickling my nose, her heartbeat slowly returning to normal where she’s pressed against my chest. Lazy fingers moving over warm skin, half-formed words mumbled as we slowly come back to the world. It’s damn near everything I’ve ever wanted
“What news did you have for me?” I ask, remembering that she came here to tell me something, not just to get fucked stupid.
She laughs, bright and easy, and waves her hand in a vague gesture toward where our legs are tangled together. I take it as a sign to share my own news while she catches her breath.
“I can’t believe we celebrated before I even told you,” I joke, chuckling affectionately and tracing my fingers over the line of her hip. “Think I could convince you to go for round two after I spill the beans?”
Her nails scratch lightly down my side and then back up over my stomach as she hums out a curious little noise. “Did you finally learn to saddle your own horse?”
I chuckle into her hair, pressing a kiss to the crown of her head before answering her. “I knowhow, you brat. Tony just does it for me to save time in the mornings.” She giggles breathlessly when I dig my fingers into her ribs in retaliation. “No, I took your advice and started thinking about what I want out of life.”
The smile pressed against my shoulder widens, and Jenny scoots a little closer, affection practically radiating off of her. What I would give to have this every day for the rest of my life.
“Yeah?” she asks softly.
“I was just thinking through a million different possibilities when I got an email, and it felt like a sign. Just one of those gut instinct things that feelsright, y’know?” She doesn’t say anything, so I barrel on, eager to celebrate with her properly. “There’s a college a few counties over that reached out to me about coaching for them. It’s nothing big league, but I wouldn’t have to put any strain on my leg, and I’d still get to be involved. I’m going to give Everett my resignation once they figure out a start date for me.”
How’sthatfor taking control of my life? I haven’t felt this proud of myself since I got accepted to play for Utah.
“I—What?” Jenny sounds absolutely shocked, the hand on my side falling still. “You’re joking.”
“Dead serious,” I say quietly, smiling up at the ceiling. “I’m grateful that Everett put up with me for so long after Dad died. I know I’m not the best man for the job, and I don’t want to weigh everyone down while I try to figure shit out.”
I actually hesitated when they reached out to me, even though it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. The thought of leavingthe ranch sits sour in my gut, but it just isn’t the place for me. And to be fair, it’s not the cattle I’ll miss, it’s the girl in my arms.
Still, I can’t rely on Everett’s generosity forever. I need to start moving forward with my life, not just drifting along. After that big conversation Jenny and I had, I started thinking about ways to feel less lost, and this job feels like a good step toward that. Besides, it’s only a two hour drive. It’ll be easy as anything to invite Jenny to swing by and visit me. Maybe I can convince her to stay the weekend sometimes. It’s a pipe dream, but I might be able to talk her into giving this thing between us a real shot now that we’re not states apart.
