Chapter Thirteen:
1990
Jesse
H-o-l-y fuck!
What the actual fuck was that? I looked down at Laney, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright, watching as she opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again as if lost for words.
“Are you okay?” I asked, my words coming out heavy and thick, and meaning a hell of a lot more thanare you okay.
“Yeah,” she replied, her own voice breathy. She swallowed, her tongue darting out to lick along her lower lip, and I felt myself hardening in my jeans again as if I hadn’t just fucked her through my jeans once already.
What the fuck was happening to me? She was driving me insane; that was it. This woman with her goddamned perfect body and dirty mouth was driving me insane. Her gaze was full of an almost insatiable hunger, her body and mind clearly wanting what I wanted.
Her dark hair was lying across her pale shoulders and I reached over and to tuck it behind her ear, but instead of letting go I watched her body shiver under my touch and I groaned at the sight of her full lips opening to release a small sigh. I hardened even more, painfully so, and I let her hair fall from my hand and gently fall back to her skin. I could make out her hard nipples beneath the thin material of her bra and dress since she’d covered herself back up, the little peaks begging to be licked and sucked on. I leaned over her, wrapping my fingers in her hair, and I pulled her in for a deep kiss.
I kissed her softly at first, but it didn’t last long before I was kissing her hard, my tongue moving against hers, enjoying every nibble on my lips and her groans of need in my mouth. My pants were too tight, and I wanted inside her, no questions asked. I wanted to take what was mine, right there and then. Because there was no doubt in my mind that this woman was mine now. I was claiming her, and fuck Gauge and fuck Hardy and fuck anyone who tried to get in my way. I’d put a bullet in the skull of any man who tried to keep me away from her now.
I’d been the good guy. I’d left her alone, but time and time again we were drawn back to one another. So fuck that now. Fuck all of it.
This woman was mine.
I was claiming her right the fuck now.
“You’re mine now, you hear me?” I said, pulling out of the kiss and pressing my forehead against hers.
She nodded beneath me, her fingers digging into my waist. “Okay,” she whispered breathlessly.
I reached down between us and placed my hand between her legs, feeling her soaked panties and growling territorially. “And this is definitely mine and no one goes near it—or you—but me. You got it?”
She nodded again and I sighed with relief. There was never any question after that night of her not being mine, but the realization that she wouldn’t fight me on it, that she wanted me as much as I wanted her, soothed me. No, not wanted, needed. I fucking needed her like I needed air. I needed her kisses as much as I needed to eat and to drink and to breathe.
Laney was life, and from that moment on, she would be my life.
I pressed a hungry kiss to her lips again, wanting to take her right there, because I desperately needed to feel her sweetness wrapped around me, but I also wanted more for her than this. She deserved more. I pulled out of the kiss, knowing that if I didn’t there would be no stopping me, or her. I pulled her down to the ground and we both lay back on the grass. I tucked her body tightly against mine, fighting my urges every step of the way.
We lay back and looked up at the stars, my heart hammering against my ribs and my cock aching something fierce in my jeans. Her breaths slowly evened out, and when I looked down at her, her eyes were closed, her face calm and serene.
Goddamn, but she was beautiful. The most beautiful fucking woman I had ever laid eyes on. From day one of seeing her, I had known there was something about her that was made just for me, but now I had the proof. Her slender body fitted in effortlessly next to my bulky frame, and her full lips connected with mine perfectly.
And that fierce mind and dirty mouth of hers were just the icing on the cake.
Laney was perfection and she was all fucking mine now.
