"Jax is in," I declare with a voice that says it's final. “There’s not a kid on the ridge that isn’t welcome, even the McAllister boys went to gold camp! Mable Hart doesn't leave anyone out. I'll let her know Jax will be on the bus tomorrow morning. All he needs is his sleeping bag and spare clothes and you can fill out the release forms online."
ChapterFive
Sage
Rapid Jones is officially my son's hero...and mine. He was able to talk to his grandmother and her friend that sponsors the mining camp and get Jackson registered at the last minute.
Then he met us at the school parking lot where the buses pick up and drop off the kids to say goodbye to Jackson and his little friends.
Jackson was so grateful that Rapid's connections got him into camp at the last minute, he even forgot his usual manly cool handshake that they do and went straight for a hug.
He never did get a chance to finish whatever it was he came to my office to say yesterday, so I don't know what the situation between us is. I got the impression he's still interested in some alone adult time while Jax is at camp, but I need to keep any ideas about anything more than that out of my mind.
Rapid is great with Jax but that doesn't mean he's interested in signing on to raise another man's child. No matter how much better he is at than the sperm donor that can't even be bothered to keep a video call appointment.
When Rapid follows me back to my place after the buses leave, I'm a little confused and a lot turned on.
"What are you doing?" I ask, giggling like a teenager in front of her crush when he meets me at my door.
His hands are already on me, making me glad that the house's private entrance isn't visible from the street.
"It's nine in the morning," I tell him, not exactly trying to fend him off.
It always surprises me how soft his lips are; his skin is so darkly tanned and weather-worn, with the creases between his brows and at the corners of his eyes that prematurely age him in the sexiest of ways.
His beard brushes against my throat and his hands are already under the t-shirt I threw on to take Jax to the bus this morning.
"I was thinking you might be interested in a little sleep-away camp time too." Sapphire blue eyes sparkle with mischief, while his thumbs work small, firm circles over my pebbled nipples under my bra.
"Mmm," I moan and manage to get the door unlocked. We tumble through together and he pushes me against the wall just inside. "Paddling up river does not sound like my kind of weekend," I tease, arching my back and pressing into his touch.
"I was thinking my place." He whispers, his mouth on my neck, working its way down. "Up at Riverbend. My bed, on the river where the neighbors aren't going to call the sheriff when you start screaming."
"What makes you so sure I'll be the one doing the screaming?"
My hand slides over his broad chest and below the edge of his jeans. He's so hard already, and the swollen head of his cock can't be contained below the denim.
When I slip my hand under the elastic of his underwear, I get my first real sense of just how big he is. I mean, we were doing some pretty heavy dry humping against his truck the other night but now that I have him in my hand?
I'm a doctor, I went to medical school. I've delivered babies. I know how things work and I'm still not sure how I'll be able to take him. But damn am I going to enjoy trying.
"Because I'm more of a moaner than a screamer," Rapid jokes without pausing his journey toward my breasts.
He pulls my shirt over my head and unhooks my bra, letting it fall off my shoulders and drop to the floor between us.
When he bends to take one nipple in his mouth, I lose my grip on his length.
"Bed time," I say, pushing away from the wall with his mouth still on my breast.
"Those are doctor's orders I can follow."
Before I have a chance to take a step, Rapid's arms catch me under my back and knees, easily lifting me in a bridal carry position and hauling me to my bedroom.
Damn. I knew he was strong, but I'm not a featherweight and he just carried me as easily as he'd pick up Jax.
As soon as he lays me down on my bed, he grabs my hips and pulls me to the edge. My leggings are gone in one swift pull and Rapid's head is between my thighs.
I'm glad I showered this morning, not that I think it would have deterred this man if I hadn't.
