Then the torrent came down.
“We made it just in time,” he said, observing the rain for a few seconds.
“We did.”
The door was unlocked, so I turned the knob and pushed it open. Everything was the same inside. The lamp in the living room provided ambient light, and my grandmother’s afghan was flung over the back of the couch from when I moved it when I heard the rumble of Jake’s motorcycle.
I moved through the house, turning off the lights, and then turned to face him. He still stood by the door, taking everything in.
“It looks like your grandmother still lives here.”
I surveyed the room, trying to see what he did. The old furniture, the floral curtains, the worn wood floors. “I haven’t had time.”
I didn’t tell him that I didn’t have the heart to go through Grandma’s things. That it would make everything seem more real, more final. I couldn’t handle that.
“Where’s your room?”
“Upstairs.” I grabbed his hand and led him up the steps to the master, the last room at the end of the hall. It had been renovated at some point to add an en suite bathroom.
I’d added a fluffy rug to cover the dark wood floors to warm my feet on cool nights. There were built-in shelves on either side of a wood-burning fireplace. Flowers were arranged in vases on the mantel and on the nightstand on my side of the bed.
“This is you,” Jake said as he paused behind me, seemingly to take everything in.
“How do you know what’s me?” I asked as I turned to face him, genuinely curious. He didn’t know me that well.
He shifted past me deeper into the room and stood in front of the large bay window that looked over the front of the property. Lightning flashed, illuminating the muscles in his back. “From what I know of you, then. You’re positive, full of hope, happy.”
I closed my eyes at his vision. “I like how you see me.”
He turned to face me. “I probably put you on a pedestal.”
That was sweet and yet concerning at the same time. I didn’t want to be held to a higher standard than other people. I just wanted to be the one for him. I toed off my shoes and folded my bra on top of the dresser.
“You ready for bed?” I asked him, suddenly uncomfortable. Was he setting me on a pedestal so he could say he wasn’t good enough for me?
“I wanted to take a quick shower but—” Thunder cracked overhead, and lightning flashed, illuminating his words.
I moved toward the bed, lifting my dress over my head and sliding between the sheets. I held the blanket up in an open invitation for him to join me.
He hesitated for a brief heart-pounding second, when I thought he’d turn around and walk out, but instead, he pushed down his jeans and kicked them away before climbing in next to me.
I rested my head on his shoulder and drew my leg over his.
We watched the flashes of the lightning out the window for a few seconds until Jake rolled me to where I was flat on my back. “I can’t resist you.”
The heat of his words pulsed between my legs.
He kissed me, somehow deeper and more possessive than in the barn. He was taking whatever this was to another level, whether he realized it or not. He’d chosen to come to bed, to stay the night.
He’d made a choice, even if it was only for one night; it was more than a quick release in the barn. An impulsive decision to give in to our desires. This was something more, and I was powerless to stop it.
I widened my legs so he could settle between them, his cock nestled at my entrance. He slid it between my folds as he kissed me, slowly heating me from the inside out.
“Condom,” he murmured as he moved off the bed and pulled one out of his wallet. He ripped the wrapper with his teeth and quickly covered himself.
Despite the soreness from earlier, I was ready for him again. I reached for him as he lined himself up.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you,” he said, staring into my eyes.
