I gasp. “I didn’t think anyone knew about that. But yes. The landlord was doing one rent hike after another. He was going to price her right out of the building. So I bought it. It was an investment.”

“Nah, Peanut, it was you taking care of your girl. Loving her the best way you know how. Just like you did for my dad.” He cups my cheeks. “I’m sorry I’ve been such a fucking idiot. I’m sorry I wasted so much of our time.” He presses our foreheads together. “I’ve missed you so goddamn much.”

chapter ten

Cain

Jade’s arms go around my neck, and her legs wrap around my waist. “I’ve missed you too. So much.”

I don’t wait any longer. I lower my mouth and take her lips. I growl into her mouth and deepen the kiss, sliding my tongue against hers. Then she’s kissing me, making greedy little noises at the back of her throat. My cock is a steel bar in my jeans.

I grip her bottom, sliding her body so she’s leaning against the countertop, and press my erection against her center. She hooks a leg around my hip, opening herself to me. Thank fuck for yoga pants. I rock my erection against the heat of her cotton-clad pussy.

She gasps and pulls back. “You’re hard?”

“Yeah. That’s generally what happens when I’m turned on.”

“You truly want me.” This time, it’s not a question.

I tear my shirt off, dropping it on the kitchen floor behind me. “So fucking much.”

She takes off her shirt, baring her lace-covered breasts. Then that’s gone, and I’m staring at her heavy, perfect tits. My eyes locked on her breasts has her nipples hardening into tight nubs.

“Pants off,” I instruct, gripping my dick through my jeans and squeezing tight so I don’t embarrass myself.

She hops off the counter and is pulling her yoga pants and underwear down her thighs when I lift her and set her down in that spot again. I rip her pants off the rest of the way, then bend one of her legs to set her foot on the counter. She’s bared to me then. Open and slick with her want.

My mouth waters at the sight of her pink pussy and the pale blonde hair she keeps trimmed above her mound.

“If I don’t get my mouth on you soon, I’m going to fucking lose my mind,” I mutter. I fall to my knees in front of her. “Look what you’ve been hiding from me for all these years. Fucking perfect pussy.”

“Cain,” she whimpers.

I say nothing, leaning forward to suck her clit into my mouth. No soft kisses or preamble; I go straight in.

Her nails rake across my scalp as she digs into my hair.

I plunge one and then a second finger into her hot, slick channel, and she practically levitates off the counter.

“Oh, fuck,” she hisses.

I fuck her with those fingers and pull my mouth back to watch her. Her toes curl, and her eyes squeeze shut.

“I want you to let go and come all over my face,” I rasp. “Drown me, Jade. Do it.”

She whimpers again.

I lave my tongue up her pussy walls and circle her clit before pulling it into my mouth. I suck hard.

“Cain. Dammit,” she swears.

I curl my fingers inside her to brush her front wall. Her legs shake as she chants my name and rocks her pussy against my face.

Then she shatters.

Her release splashes into my mouth, and I lap her up. I’m a glutton for the taste of my girl. I place small kisses around the apex of her thighs, loving the silky softness of her skin.

My hand falls to my jeans, and I unfasten them, giving my dick some breathing room. Rising to my feet, I gather her into my arms before marching us to my bedroom—our bedroom.
