Jake’s eyes went wide and he made her look him in the face. “Your ex hurt you?” Jake knew she was divorced, but she never mentioned it and he’d never pushed.
She shook her head. “No. I hurt myself. I chose the wrong man. The wrong path.”
Oh God, Jake wanted to hug her close and never let go. She was blaming herself, a habit she seemed to have had for a while.
Before he could ask more, she leaned in and gently kissed his lips. “Please,” she breathed against his mouth. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Please just love me instead.”
Her soft plea made Jake’s ins
tincts kick in. He would do whatever she wanted. Whatever she needed. There was so much going through his head that he didn’t know how to begin to deal with, but he’d figure it out later. For now, Laura needed him. And he would make this better. Somehow.
He kissed along her throat as her hands worked his shirt off and started exploring his bare chest. Damn, he loved her hands on him. Somehow, they managed to take each other’s clothes off without having to take their mouths away.
Once they were both naked, Jake grabbed a condom from his discarded jeans and put it on. Laura straddled him once more, and the feel of her skin around his was a heady drug. She was all warmth and sweetness. Soft and delicate.
“Jacob,” she whispered as she slowly sank down on him, impaling herself on his cock.
He gritted his teeth at the tight heat instantly surrounding him and hugged her closer. She moved slowly, up and down, circling her hips in his lap as she tested out every inch of him.
“You feel so good,” she said, her hair falling around their faces like a curtain. “How can you feel this good every time?”
He ran his hands up her smooth back and gave a little flex of his hips. She gasped and ground against him, meeting his every move.
“I don’t know, baby,” he said. “Because you’ve felt way too right from moment one.”
She kept herself deep on him, which he wasn’t complaining about. She stirred on him; he could feel her clit rubbing against his pelvis as she did. She was getting hotter and higher real quick. He sensed it in her skin, in her movements.
Her eyes were glossy as she looked at him. She was drenched, only getting wetter with her orgasm right on the brink. He knew, because he recognized now how her little pussy squeezed him when she was close.
He flexed his hips over and over. Taking that last inch into her and watching her lips part on a silent inhale. He held her tight as she fell over the edge and pleasure wrapped her up. Pleasure he gave her. Pleasure he caught her in.
Tremors shot from his stomach to his cock, and he clung to her as his own release flooded his entire body . . . and heart. Because he was certain between the pleasure, pain, love, and loss, it wasn’t beating right anymore.
But when Laura’s arms wrapped around him and pulled him close, hugging him like she’d never held anyone like this before, he didn’t care about his damn heart.
Because the woman currently wrapped around him already had it in her hands.
Chapter Thirteen
Jake heard a ringing that made one eye peel open. Phone. Not his. Laura’s.
He popped open his other eye to see her scrambling from his bed and reaching for her cell phone.
“Hello, yes, this is she,” she said, pacing in nothing but his bedsheet. Damn, she was gorgeous, her blonde hair haloing around her while her bare feet hit the hardwood floor. “Yes? Oh my gosh, that’s great! Thank you, Cal!”
Jake knew the news she’d just gotten, but Laura hung up the phone and jumped into bed, hugging him.
“I got the job for Cal!”
She hugged and kissed him, and everything was in motion for her to stay and be happy.
Jake should have felt relieved; instead, he felt sick. As if he had a permanent headache that wouldn’t go away. This should be a good thing, especially after last night, when Laura had opened up to him and finally everything made sense.
And now, the solution of getting her the deal should be welcome . . .
But Jake’s head just kept pounding.
She wanted something that was hers. Had been trying so hard for that one piece of her mother and to find herself apart from her ex.
