Page 59 of The Other Half

Her hands slid to my chest, splayed palms caressing the muscles and exploring their way down my abs. Groaning, I pulled her tighter, desperate now to finish what those looks had promised. Running my hands down her arms, I felt the small bumps prickled on her skin.

“You’re cold,” I whispered between kisses.

“I hadn’t noticed,” she answered, sliding her tongue back inside my mouth.

I softened my embrace and pulled back those lust-filled eyes boring through me. “Let’s go inside.”

“Okay,” she answered, and her smile told me everything I needed to know.

Sweeping her into my arms, I devoured her lips again, then carried her back to land.

My fingers clung to the sinewy muscles of his shoulders while he carried me across the yard. Even in the dim light, I could still see every impressive bulge and defined cut of his body. It only increased the rate of my heart fluttering against my ribs.

“Hank! Poppy!” he called while we passed the fire. I saw Hank come tearing across the yard with Poppy in tow.

When we reached the door, Jake set me down while he fumbled to open it.

“It sticks,” he said, the waver in his voice giving away his nerves. The same ones banging around inside my stomach. After bumping it open, he held the door. Stepping inside, I watched Poppy and Hank tear in past me. Jake followed and closed the door behind us. We stood together on the wood floor with water dripping off us, forming pools at our feet.

Biting my lip, I reached for him. It was all the encouragement he needed. I gasped when he caught me around my shoulders and pulled me into his kiss. Our limbs tangled together while his kiss invaded me again. A welcome conqueror I had no desire to resist. The siege on my mouth continued until we broke apart as he pulled my shirt over my head.

Bumping into walls and furniture, we devoured each other as he moved me through the house, our clothes dropping piece by piece while he guided me up the stairs. For every second our mouths had to come apart, they returned with more power than the last. I hadn’t even noticed I was now in the bedroom until I felt the bed press behind my knees. Opening my eyes, I saw Jake standing above me. The moonlight slipped between the slats of the blinds and the soft glow of the clock illuminated his body. For the first time I saw him clearly. It was better than I’d imagined. And I had imagined perfection.

His chest grew with every deep breath while he stood in his boxers and examined the matching bra and panty set I still wore. I reached out and touched the rippled muscles covering his stomach. Dragging my finger along the lines, I watched his eyes close tight while he exhaled a deep breath. Letting my fingers wander free, they explored every inch of his tanned, taut torso. Before I could explore any lower, his kiss upended me again.

With a gentle shove, my back hit the bed. He towered over me, the desire and passion in his eyes heating my body everywhere his eyes roved. Pressing a hand on either side of my head, his biceps bulged beneath his weight while he lowered himself over me. A gentle kiss brushed my lips and drew another one of my soft moans.

“Jake,” I whispered before his tongue pressed inside my mouth. The gentle touch after such a carnal explosion was a shock to my senses. My hands found their way to his back and spread out over the bulging muscles I couldn’t see but imagined rivaled the ones in the front.

While he continued exploring my mouth with his kiss, his fingers drifted down my shoulder and continued to my breasts. Cupping one in his hand, I exhaled my relief to finally have his touch where I needed it. With a gentle squeeze, he deepened his kiss, and I melted into the mattress. The material of my thin bra gave him no trouble while he slid his hand beneath it. Rough fingers brushed my nipple, and I whimpered at his touch. Continuing his soft exploration of my body, he moved to the other one, repeating the soft circles that had heat coursing between my legs.

As if he could read my mind, his fingers drifted down my stomach and grazed the top of my underwear. Ready to beg for his touch, I sighed when his fingers disappeared under the silk without my need to plead. When they touched me where I needed him most, I grabbed his face while I moaned into his mouth. They moved against my heated skin in rhythm with the tongue continuing its invasion of my mouth.

“Cassie,” he breathed before sliding a finger inside me.

“Oh, my God.” The fire he’d lit in my body surged to heights I worried would incinerate me. A soft buzz started in my ears while his fingers played a song that had me ready to scream the finale. When I was sure I couldn’t take another second of his talents, I felt the pressure in my body release with one final swirl of his fingers. Clinging to him while I rode the wave, I held his mouth with mine, whimpering into it the sounds of my ecstasy.

As I panted below him, his hands returned to the side of my head and he hovered above me. Satisfaction and pride collided with the desire swirling inside those azure orbs. After catching my breath, a soft smile lifted my lips, and a desire to give him the same pleasure he’d given me brought my hands to his chest. As I pressed him over, he fell to the side and rolled onto his back. Holding his gaze with my own, I straddled him, pressing myself against the wet boxers that did nothing to hide the sizeable bulge straining against my silk panties.

Reaching behind my back, I unclasped the hook on my bra. When it slid off, exposing my breasts, his eyes dropped to examine them. I could see his muscular chest lifting with quickened breaths while he took me in. Moving on top of him, I pressed my soaking underwear against him while he closed his eyes and groaned. The friction between us had me already climbing back up the mountain I couldn’t wait to plunge down again.

“Damn, Cassie,” he breathed while I rocked above him. Certain now he needed me as much as I needed him, I stopped my hips and slipped off the bed to stand before him. Eyes begging for my return met mine. Inch by inch, I slid my panties off my hips and let them drop to the floor. When his gaze fell between my legs, it sent a surge of heat coursing back through me. Leaning over, I took ahold of his boxers and inched them down. When his cock sprang into sight, I bit my lip. The perfection I’d imagined his body held didn’t disappoint when I saw it.

Reaching out a hand, he took mine and pulled me down into his arms. Our wet, naked bodies tangled together while he rolled over on top of me. The force of his kiss pressed my head back into the bed, and my hands moved to the rigid cock straining against me. Taking it in my hand, I slid up the length of it, feeling it bulge when he growled his pleasure. All I wanted was to feel it inside me.

Softening our kiss, he lifted himself away, pulling open the bedside table. Emerging with a condom, I waited while he put it on in silent anticipation until he was back between my legs. With a gentle kiss, I felt it brush up against me, sliding through my heat and making me dizzy with desire. As his kiss deepened, I grabbed ahold of his back and pulled, begging him to enter me. When he pressed against my entrance, I pulled harder until he slid inside.

Our conjoined moans drifted away on mingled breaths. Clinging to his back, I held tight while he moved inside me. The heat between us rose to scalding while he continued to press deeper into my body. Each thrust of his hips sent me farther up the mountain, and the fast tempo of his breath told me he was climbing it with me. Our sweat-slicked bodies slid against each other while we dissolved into one. No longer able to tell where he stopped and I began, I closed my eyes and let the pressure increase until I was sure I would explode again. Digging my nails into his back, I screamed out my release, and his low groan followed. We clung to one another while the last waves of our passion coursed through us. When Jake collapsed on me in a boneless heap, I wrapped my arms around him.

“Oh, my God.” He panted before rolling onto his back and pulling me into his arms.

Pressing a kiss to his chest I used as a pillow, I let out a shaky breath while his grip around me tightened. “That was spectacular.”

“It was so much better than I’d imagined. And I’d imagined incredible.”

“Right back at you.” I giggled.

“I’m so glad I pulled my head out of my ass. You’re amazing, Cassie.”
