As the main house comes into view, I can’t help but smile. Even after all that’s happened, I do love this place. This ranch has always felt like home to me, from the first moment I stepped foot on the soil here. I can see two of my father’s security personnel are stationed outside the house, and I know there are at least two more on watch nearby.
“A guy I know has a security company in the city. I have two men patrolling the ranch perimeter at night until I get a better security system set up. We’re getting some more ranch hands in during the day too, to make sure all the fences are properly maintained. The barn is secure, angel. It always has been as long as we’re inside it,” Jax says to me, his face full of concern. “But I understand if you’d rather stay at the main house for now.”
I reach for his hand and lace my fingers through his. “I love our barn. Even after what happened there. It’s ours and it always will be. Besides, I feel safe anywhere with you, Jax.”
“You want to go home then, angel?”
“Yes, please,” I say with a smile and the way he smiles back at me makes me almost melt into a puddle on the seat.
As soon as the truck comes to a stop outside the barn, Jax jumps out and runs to the passenger side, opening the door for me. Taking his hand, I step out and as soon as I do, he hoists me over his shoulder like he did at the hospital.
“Hey,” I giggle as I beat my fists against his fine ass. “I can walk.”
He ignores me and carries me straight into the house, locks the door behind us and takes me up the stairs, flicking on the light switch before he sets me down on my feet. I look into his deep brown eyes, but suddenly an image of Shannon’s legs wrapped around his waist and his head buried in her neck while he was fucking her invades my thoughts and it makes me falter.
He sees it too. He slides a hand to the back of my neck. “What is it, angel?”
“I can’t stop picturing you with her… with Shannon,” my voice trembles.
I feel the deep sigh rolling through his chest.
“I recognized that look on her face, Jax. It’s the same one I have when you’re with me.”
He narrows his eyes at me. “No, Luce.” His hand slides from my neck and down over my ribs until he reaches the edge of my sweater, gripping it with both hands, he starts to work it off and over my head. I lift my arms in compliance, only breaking our gaze when the soft cashmere is over my eyes. “That picture was just two people fucking.” His hands skate down my sides to the waistband of my jeans as he presses his lips against my ear. “Two bodies responding to each other on a purely physical level.” He tugs open the button. “What you and I do is so much more.”
“Jax,” I shiver as he slides down my zipper before fisting his hands into the denim as he slowly pushes the fabric over my hips.
“You are the only woman I’ve ever loved.” He kisses my neck. “The only woman I’ve ever wanted to marry.” One of his hands coasts over my lower abdomen. “The only woman I have ever wanted to fuck a baby into.”
Tears prick at my eyes. “I know,” I whisper.
He stops kissing my neck and wipes a stray tear with the pad of his thumb. “You are everything, Lucia. I may have fucked other women, but there has been no-one before you and there will be no-one after you. You are it for me, angel.”
The deep, soothing timbre of his voice permeates every cell of my body, making warmth pool in my core.
He drops to his knees and presses a soft kiss on my stomach as he starts to pull my jeans down over my thighs and calves. He takes off my sneakers without untying the laces, followed by my socks and jeans. When he stands tall again, he glides his hands over my back, unhooking my bra with one deft flick of his fingertips before he pulls it off my arms. I am in awe of how quickly this man can get me naked. No doubt another skill he’s honed over the years. Stop it, Lucia!
I will all thoughts of him with other women to leave my head as his hands slide over my hips until he’s palming my ass. Then he lifts me, wrapping my legs around his waist and walking us to the bed before he lays me down on it. His hot mouth is on my neck, covering my throat with kisses that send pleasure skittering up my spine.
It’s not enough though. I need to feel his skin against mine. “Why are you still wearing all of your clothes?” I whisper.
“Because you haven’t taken them off me, baby,” he says with a smile.
I reach for the edge of his t-shirt and he helps me to pull it off over his head before he lies over me again. My pebbled nipples press against his hard chest and when he moves, he causes a delicious friction there that makes my toes curl.
“Jax,” I moan as I rake my nails down his muscular back, making him shudder.
He nips at my shoulder blade in response, making me moan softly as his lips trail lower, dusting over my breasts and my stomach until he reaches the edge of my panties. Hooking his fingers into the waistband, he pulls them off quickly before tossing them onto the floor, but all the while his hot mouth is on me. Sucking and licking my stomach and my thighs, but purposely avoiding that spot where I need him the most.
“I want your mouth on me. Please?” I beg him.
He moves lower, swirling his tongue over my clit and making me arch my back in pleasure.
“My good girl, always ready for me,” he murmurs against my skin before he pushes himself up onto his knees, unfastening his belt and sliding it off.
Wet heat sears between my thighs and I whimper, making him laugh softly.
“Maybe later, baby,” he says as he throws the belt onto the floor. He unfastens his jeans before pulling out his cock which glistens with precum. He wraps his hand around his shaft. “See how hard you make me, Luce?”
My breath catches in my throat as he leans over me again, resting his weight on his forearms. Every cell in my body is screaming for him. My pussy aches with a deep need to be filled. When he presses the tip of his cock against my entrance, I moan so loudly, I’m sure everyone in the main house must have heard.
I wrap my legs around him, trying to pull him all the way inside me, but he resists me, teasing me until my need grows into desperation.
His lips dust over the shell of my ear. “No-one ever made me as hard as you do. I might have fucked a lot of women, Luce, but I never did this with anyone but you.” When the final word has left his lips, he sinks deep inside me, showing me exactly what he means. “Jesus, fuck!” he hisses.
The relief at being full of him sends waves of euphoria rolling through my body.
“Oh, fuck!” I groan as I cling to him, not wanting him to pull out again.
I feel his thick cock throbbing inside me as he fills me so completely. So perfectly — as though we were made for each other. Then he slides out slowly, so I feel every single millimeter of him as he pulses against my inner walls. “How do you make it this good, Jax?”
“It’s not me, angel. It’s all you. You make it good,” he growls in my ear as he fucks me so deliciously deeply and slowly that I feel like I’m on another plane of existence.
He doesn’t just make me come, he gives me the longest, most intense orgasm I’ve ever experienced in my life. It builds quickly, but it doesn’t detonate and fizzle out. Every time I reach the edge, I don’t fall back down and come up again. Instead another edge stretches out before me, and on and on, until tears are rolling down my cheeks and my nails are sinking into Jax’s shoulders as I beg him to stop and keep going at the same time.
“I got you, angel. Just let go,” he groans in my ear as he continues his slow, rhythmic movements.
“I can’t,” I whimper. I don’t want this feeling to end but my body craves the release. I need that final explosion of starlight and ecstasy to settle into my bones.
“Yeah, you can. Come for me,” he commands and I couldn’t hold on any longer no matter how hard I tried. It’s like my body is hardwired to obey him.
“Oh, Jax!” I cry out, clinging to him as he rolls his hips against me, rubbing at the sensitive spot inside me as he grinds out his own climax.
“Fuck, Luce,” he breathes in my ear as he slows to a stop.
I gasp for breath as tiny specks of light flutter behind my eyelids. The places where are bodies are joined are slick with cum and when he pulls out of me, the wet popping sound is so loud it makes me giggle softly.
“You soaked us, angel,” he whispers as he rolls onto his back, wrapping his arms around me and taking me with him so that I’m lying on his chest.
“It was your fault though.”
“Damn right it was,” he laughs softly as he runs a hand through my hair.
“I’m sorry I doubted you, Jax. Even for a second.”
He grabs my jaw, tilting my head so we can look into each other’s eyes. “I know, Luce. I know that it’s hard not to trust what’s right in front of your eyes.”
“I need you to know that I trust you, Jax. I do. It was just a shock and I-I,” I stammer.
He grips my jaw tighter. “Stop apologizing. You reacted how anyone would, Luce. The fact that you believe me and you’re here now is all that matters.”
“What if it had been the other way around? If you’d seen photographs of me with another guy?”
“I’d have lost my shit and cut off his cock before I asked any questions,” he says with a scowl.
I roll my eyes and shake my head.
“Hey, at least I admit it, right?” he gives me a wicked grin.
“So, you wouldn’t even listen to me? Because you know the pictures would be faked too. You know I would never do that?”
He laughs softly before giving me a quick kiss on the lips. “I know, baby. I’m just teasing you. I would lose my shit though. But I’m sure you could calm me down.” His hand slides to my ass and he squeezes.
“I could, huh?”
“You could make me do anything you damn well want to, and you know it,” he says, all the laughter gone from his face now. He stares at me, his dark brown eyes full of fire.
“I didn’t know that,” I admit.
Almost before I’ve finished the last word, he flips me over, pinning me flat to the mattress. “Don’t play innocent with me, Lucia,” he growls, pressing his groin against me. How the hell is he hard again already? “You know exactly what you do to me.”
I trace my fingertips over his jawline. He is so goddamn handsome and intense. I love him so much I feel like my heart might burst. “And what’s that cowboy?” I whisper.
“You have me in the palm of your hand. I am nothing without you, angel. I would kneel at your feet if you asked me to. I would do anything to make you happy.”
He rubs his nose along the column of my throat, inhaling deeply and making me shiver.
“You make me happier than I ever even imagined was possible.” I slide my fingers through his hair, pulling his head back so I can look at him again. “No more time apart, okay? Wherever you are is where Matthias and I belong.”
“Deal,” he says before he seals his lips over mine.
As he’s kissing me, he turns us onto our sides and hooks my leg over his waist. Then he slides deep inside me again and I moan into his mouth.
“This is where I belong, angel,” he breathes as he starts to fuck me again. “I can’t keep the fuck out of you.”
Pleasure rolls through my core as he finds the perfect angle to rub my clit while he fucks me. Then he sucks a finger into his mouth and grins at me because we both know where that’s going.
“God, Jax,” I whimper as he slides it into my ass a few seconds later.
“I love filling you up, baby,” he groans softly. “I wonder if I’m going to fill you with a baby too when I pump all my cum into you?”
“Are you going to kiss our child with that filthy mouth?” I gasp as a wave of pleasure rocks me.
“I kiss our other one with it, so…” he replies with a wink. “Now stop talking and let me fuck you.”
I melt into him, pulling his face back to mine so I can kiss him again.
