He pulls away on a roar, sitting up and shucking his jeans and boxers off before he’s braced back over me with a look in his eyes that sends a shiver throughout my entire body.
“Baby, I don’t want any barriers between us. I’m clean. I’ve always been safe, but I just went and made damn sure I was. I’m more than ready to plant my seed up in this tight little body of yours and pray for a miracle, but if you want me to wear a rubber, I will. I—”
I hold my finger up to his mouth, not letting him finish that thought. “I’m on the pill, Jake. One day, I’ll be ready for kids, but I’d like for us to have some time together first.” We have a lot of years to make up for. And maybe the remnants of the scar, which is fading fast, wants to know I can trust him.
His sexy grin makes my heart sputter. “This is it for us, baby. Once I get inside you, there’s no turning back. You hear me?”
I lean up, inches from his mouth. “Don’t make me wait any longer, Jake. I need you to mark me.”
“Fuck, babe.” He presses forward, pushing the end of his massive cock slowly inside. Stretching me to the max. Sliding against every sensitive spot inside my walls. “You’re so damn tight, baby. Am I hurting you? I feel like I’m…”
“No!” I shake my head, clawing at his back so he doesn’t pull out. “You feel so good.”
“Fuck, babe. Your impatient pussy is going to drive me to insanity.” His hips start pumping faster. His dick thrusting into me hard, hitting the end of my womb with every plunge. That little piercing at the end zapping me with sensations I’ve never felt.
My orgasm starts to build. Every nerve sizzling with desperate need. And I can see the strain on his face. He’s desperately trying to hold himself back. But I don’t want him to. I want to feel how much he needs me. I want to watch him lose control and give himself over to the heat.
I grip onto his sexy ass, jerking him forward, urging him to take us over the edge— and he does. A feral roar rips from his chest, and then I feel it. His hot seed filling me to the brim, the final claiming I needed. I’ve finally been marked by the one I’ve always loved. And as I ride through the waves of pleasure, the emptiness within my soul fades. The pain no longer the backdrop of my thoughts.
He collapses onto his back and pulls me over top of him. I rest my chin on his heaving chest, watching as he settles back down. Staring at the tattoo placed over his heart. I don’t think he’ll ever know how much it truly means to me.
He suddenly stiffens beneath me, his eyes going from soft and relaxed to dark and brooding. I sit up, my stomach twisting when I see how tense he is. “What’s wrong, Jake? Do you regret what we just did?”
He sits up, taking my cheeks within his hands. “Not a fucking chance, baby. What I fucking regret is the fact that I could’ve had you for all these years, but I wasted so much time. Damn. I’ve been such a fucking idiot.”
It’s a shitty truth, but we can’t go back in time and change the course we took. We can’t take back our mistakes. All we can do is focus on the moment we have right now and cherish what our future will hold. It’s time to let the past go.
“Well,” I purr, shifting onto my knees and climbing on to straddle his waist. “We better make up for lost time and not waste any more of it.”
CHAPTER 9
Maisy
I smile at the soreness settled into my muscles. God, it was such an incredible night. One of the best nights of my life. Jake took my body on one hell of a ride, determined to erase the touch of every past lover I’ve ever had. And man, did he.
My eyes finally adjust to the light streaming into the cabin, and I take it all in. The memories flooding back of when Jake would bring me out here. We shared so many firsts here. Our first kiss, sitting out by the lake. Our first time messing around, laying out on a beach towel, our bodies dripping wet. It’s also the place we told each other the “L” word. This place is filled with so many happy memories. And last night, we added another one.
I shift in his arms to face him, studying all of his beautiful features. He looks so at peace and relaxed. Like the boy I fell in love with back in high school. I wish we could’ve been like this for the past seven years. But I truly believe everything happens for a reason. That we’re faced with challenges to make us stronger.
Maybe we needed to go through what we did to fully appreciate what we have now. Although, I didn’t need to have a single one of the guys I slept with in the past to know Jake was the one I wanted. I only slept with them because I couldn’t have the man I was in love with. I wanted to distract myself from the pain of that reality. And maybe I chose to sleep with some of his brothers, because subconsciously, and sometimes consciously, I wanted to hurt him the same way he hurt me.
“What’s wrong, baby?” His gruff voice, ragged with sleep, pulls me from my troubled thoughts. I look down and see him peering up with so much love shining in his eyes. A sweet smile forms on his lips as he tightens his hold around me, and it fills me with even more guilt.
“I’m sorry, Jake.”
His head cocks to the side, his calm being disrupted with confusion—and worry. He sits up, shifting toward me and his hand locks around my back, pulling me in closer. “Baby, if you’re about to tell me you’re sorry but you can’t do this, you’d better hold your tongue. Because you’re mine, and I’m not going to let you run from me.”
I shake my head, the tears clouding my view of his handsome face. “No, Jake. I would never say that.” It’s an unfathomable thought. One that would destroy me. “I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for all the in-between. I’m sorry for the anger and the resentment. I’m sorry for the others. But mostly…” I pause, taking in a shuddering breath, bracing myself for the hardest apology I’ve ever had to make. “I’m sorry for sleeping with your best friend. Axle was a drunken mistake. One I made when I was desperately hurting and missing you. I shouldn’t have done it. I shouldn’t have gone there with him. I saw the look on your face when I left his room, and I hated myself for doing that to you. He’s one of my biggest regrets, and I wish I could go back and erase it but I can’t. But I’m hoping you can forgive me for it.”
He pulls me onto his lap. His hands gently caressing my cheeks, and the tears begin to slip free.
“Baby, you sayin’ that means the world to me, but you’ve got nothing to apologize for. I get that you were in pain and that I was the one who caused it. Honestly, as much as it fucking sucked to know what had happened between you two, I’m kind of thankful for that moment. Seeing you leaving his room is what woke me the fuck up. I knew right then that I needed to get my head in the goddamn game if I was ever going to get you back. It took me a moment afterward to figure out a plan to do so, but I finally did.”
“And what was your plan?”
“To cut off your supply.” He gives me a sly grin, and it does all kinds of crazy things to my insides.
“You want to elaborate on that, mister?” I cock a brow, wiggling against him, coating his hard shaft with my juices and showing him exactly what he’s doing to me.
