in my car before my tears turn into a waterfall. After everything else, the last thing I need is for him to see me crying.
I’m just opening the door when his hand reaches around and closes it again. Then he presses his front to my back and whispers in my ear. ‘I do love you. So much so that it scares the hell out of me.’
He turns me around to face him and pins my back to the car door as his lips land on mine. He cradles my face with one of his large, rough hands as his lips dance over mine. Softly at first, until I let out a moan. It seems to spur him on and he deepens the kiss, putting an end to any space between us.
I can feel how hard he is, and that alone makes me wet. Having his hands on me makes me even hotter, but this kiss. This kiss is on an entirely new level.
‘I love you, Jenna, but I was so scared that you wouldn’t want this life. You grew up so differently, I was just scared,’ he says against my lips, looking into my eyes.
‘I love you, too, Phoenix. This is the life I want. I knew that before my parents showed up and I know it even more after my time in Denver. You have to trust me.’
‘I trust you. God, I trust you.’ He buries his head in my neck, and I wrap my arms around him, holding him to me.
He grips my ass and lifts me, so he doesn’t have to bend down as far, but still keeps me pinned to the car as he kisses up my neck on his way back to my mouth.
When he rubs his stiff erection between my thighs, we both groan. I’m wearing a maxi dress and the thin fabric and my panties are the only thing separating me from him.
‘I need you,’ I whisper against his lips, and he moans again.
He reaches his hand between us and pushes my dress up until his hand finds my core.
‘Fuck, baby, you’re soaked.’ He runs his fingers over my panties.
‘I always am around you.’
He pulls my panties to the side and dips his fingers through my folds before bringing them up to my clit. When he takes my nub and squeezes, I can’t stop the mewl that comes from my mouth. He’s driving me crazy.
‘It’s such a turn-on knowing I can do this to you. You have no idea.’ He punctuates his words with a thrust of his hips.
‘No teasing, Phoenix, I need you so badly. It’s been too long,’ I moan as he continues to play with my clit.
Just when I think I’m going to go insane without him, he rips my panties from me, dropping them on the ground. Then he opens his belt and his pants. He pulls his pants down just enough for his cock to spring out, and it bounces against my thigh. A second later, he’s lined up at my entrance and his eyes lock with mine as he slowly slides into me.
It’s only been a few days, but it feels like so much longer. Every inch he slides into me feels better than the one before. When he’s fully seated in me, he steals my breath, gently kissing and holding me.
Then he deepens the kiss and slowly thrusts in the way he knows makes me burn. The scrape of his jeans on my inner thighs and the fact we still have most of our clothes on only makes this that much hotter. That we need each other so much we can’t wait to get inside or remove our clothes makes it even hotter. Now that he’s inside me again, I feel whole. I feel at home. The missing part of my soul is back, and I’m never letting it go again. This is where I belong. I know it without a shadow of a doubt, and in time, I’ll prove it to my mountain man.
When he starts trailing kisses down my neck, he picks up the pace and his grip on my ass tightens. ‘You feel so fucking good baby. I missed you so damn much. I can’t breathe without you,’ he says against my neck.
Before I get a chance to respond, he slams into me so hard that the slap of flesh echoes in the woods. ‘You are mine. Jenna.’
‘I’m yours, just like you’re mine,’ I tell him.
‘I’ve always been yours, even when I didn’t know it was you I was waiting for,’ he says before reaching between us and rubbing my clit.
I’m already on the edge, so the little extra friction is enough to send my climax barreling into me. Arching my back, I scream out his name, and he keeps thrusting through my orgasm until his overtakes him. He buries himself deep inside me, whispering my name over and over again.
Basking in the glow of our orgasms, we stay locked in each other’s arms for a moment. Then he sets me back on my feet and fixes my dress for me before taking care of himself.
When he bends down to pick up my ripped panties, he smiles. ‘These are mine.’ He shoves them into his pocket.
‘What? Are you going to put them in the scrapbook we show our kids one day?’ I joke, making him chuckle.
‘Nope. They’ll be my own private trophy.’
We make our way into the cabin, and he pulls me onto his lap on the couch. He keeps running his hands over my arms and my back like he can’t believe I’m here and he has to touch me to remind himself that I am.
‘I’m sorry about what I said the last time we spoke. I was upset and in shock. You were the last person I expected to hurt me, and I guess I just wanted to hurt you back. I didn’t mean it at all, and I am so sorry.’
He softly brushes some hair from my face before cupping my cheek. ‘I know you didn’t mean it, baby. I’m the one who should be sorry for not trusting you, for not trusting us. I was so scared that you would go back to that life once everything settled down, I pushed you away. I’m still terrified that after a winter here you won’t want to stay, but I’m not pushing you away again.’
I lean in and kiss him gently. ‘About Chad…” I start before he places a finger on my lips.
‘I hated the thought that he had any kind of claim to you. Even if it was just trying to come at you for money. That’s why I gave it to him. I wanted you to be free, but I know I should have told you, and I’m sorry.’
‘I saw Chad a few days ago. He seems… different. Happy, I guess. We had the closure I think we both needed. But seeing him here was the last thing I expected.’
‘You and me both. Though he did seem different. He apologized and told me he’d kick my ass if I hurt you, even though he admitted he knows he’d lose,’ he chuckles.
‘Yeah, if his family didn’t have money, he’d have been picked on horribly at school. He’s always been smaller and awkward. But he bought protection from some of the bigger football players, and everyone left him alone.’ I laugh, but then become serious again. ‘No more secrets, Phoenix. I’m in this all the way, but we can’t have any more secrets.’
‘I agree, baby. No more secrets and no more pushing you away. From now on, I’m holding on to you so tight.’
I lean in for another kiss and my lips barely touch his before he’s pulling back.
‘In the light of no more secrets, I have to ask something.’
My body tenses. While I have nothing to hide from him, I have no idea what he’s going to ask. ‘Anything.’
He leans in and places his lips next to my ear. His hot breath sends tingles down my spine. ‘How does it feel to have my cum coating your thighs?’
I gasp, and he takes that moment to pull me in for another kiss before carrying me to his bed, where he tells me he plans to keep me for the rest of the day.
