Page 68 of Playing for Keeps

“So good, love. So tight like this.”

“Vinny,” I gasped as his thumb grazed my clit, sliding through my juices, gathering them up. “Oh God,” I cried as he circled the tight swirl of my ass, pressing in bit by bit. I was full. So full and so needy, the feel of him seated inside, his thumb pumping in and out of me making my knees weak.

“I’m going to move,” he warned, and I didn’t get a chance to respond before he pulled out and pressed back in. He was gentle at first. Loving and kind, giving me what I wanted, what I needed, as I gave myself to him.

Then his fingers smoothed a trail along my spine, soothing the muscles as he climbed. He tangled his hand through my long hair and tugged, and I arched my back, whimpering at the force. He kept fucking into me, going faster, harder. Sliding out and gliding effortlessly back in, his mouth kissing along my spine until he got to my neck. He sucked at my skin, hot breath on my throat, and my body revolted at the punishment, wanting to give up.

When I dropped to the bed, Vinny lifted my hips. Slid his hand between my body and the mattress and played with my clit. Then his wet fingers plunged inside my ass, the intrusion filling me so full I cried out in both pleasure and pain. He kept up a slow, steady pace at my ass as he fucked me harder than before, and I was sure in a moment I was going to fly.

Fly to the clouds, to heaven while I looked down. Watching as the man controlled every inch of my body as he fingered my ass. He was mine, forever and always, and nothing could ever take him away from me.

The roar that burst from him shot through the air, my hairs standing on end as he rocked me to my core. We floated down together, our breath slowing, hearts thumping as we settled back to earth.

“I love you,” Vinny whispered in my ear, his lips brushing my lobe before he pressed a kiss to my face. “So much.”

“Love you,” I breathed, my body mush.

He withdrew his body from mine, then curled his arms around me as he held me to his chest. Our breathing was raspy, slowing in bits, the man showing me with warm and gentle hands just how much our love meant.

“We have time for a bath before I have to bring you home.”

“Home?” I twisted in his grip, eyes finding his in the dim sunlight that peeked around the buildings surrounding his.

“To change, love. You can’t go to work like this, I won’t allow it. Your body is mine. No one else gets to see you like this.”

A groan rolled free.

Work.

“Do I have to?”

“Take a bath, or go to work?”

“Go to work.”

He hummed. “That’s up to you. But you should at least give them the benefit of two weeks.” His smile lit up his face, even though it was tempered. Nervous. As if he was worried he’d upset me with what he said.

“What do you mean?” I asked, forcing my shaky body to sit up.

Vinny shrugged, curling a lock of my hair around his finger and giving it a tug. “I want you to love what you do. If you love your job, then that’s great. If you want something else, I’ll support you however I can. I dragged you back here, Jen. I don’t want you to feel like you’re stuck.”

My hand covered his hand, my fingers sliding between his and giving a squeeze. “You’re too good to me.”

“Too good?” His eyes dropped to the mattress, his brow furrowing. “Even though I tricked you into coming back?”

“Hmm.” I leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his lips, not stopping until he kissed me back. “You’re so sneaky. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

While I soaked in Vinny’s garden tub, he got dressed and made me a latte in his coffee machine, then found a pair of sweats and a t-shirt for me to wear home. I was surprised when he led me down to his parking garage and walked me to a fancy black sports car, as I’d never known him to go anywhere without his Town Car and driver.

“This is it,” I told him as I opened my apartment door and stepped inside. “It’s not much, but it’s been great living here with Kelly again.”

“I’m glad we were able to get you in here.”

“You didn’t kick anyone out so we could move in, did you?”

Vinny took my hands, his eyes meeting mine. “No. Absolutely not. This place came open on its own.” His gaze roamed the small apartment, and all my insecurities came out. “I wanted something better, something bigger, but the guys insisted this was enough.”

“We make due,” I said with a shrug, then motioned around. “It’s got everything we need. Kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedrooms.”
