If I could speak, I’d tell her that I love everything about her. I’d tell her that I came alive the instant I spotted her all those months ago. I’d tell her that she’s the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met, but she already knows that. Instead, I focus on her pleasure. I suck, bite, and tease her little nub. Neither one of us notices when the song ends.

It’s not long until she loses all control and squirts on my face. She lets out a string of profanities as she convulses on my face, and I lick every last drop. Without missing a beat, I flip us over and land on top of her.

“Is my bad girl ready to taste herself?” I cover her lips with mine and stick my tongue in her mouth. She moans and sucks on it while she strokes my hair. Her gentle touch on my hair spurs my desire. I leave her mouth and pepper kisses down her neck. I kiss, bite, and pull both nipples.

“You’re my conservative girl, Dee. In public, you’re so proper and put together, but when it’s just us behind closed doors, you’re my bad girl. But that’s only for me. Only I get this.” To illustrate my point, I slide my hand between her legs and slide two fingers inside of her. She’s so wet, it makes a slushing sound.

I pull out as soon as she starts to moan. I lick her juices off my fingers before I flip her over onto her stomach. She wasn’t expecting me to do that and I hear a surprised shriek. I slap her hard on her ass and command her to get on all fours.

I wrap her hair around my hand and slide inside of her in one long thrust. She arches her back and cries out at the intrusion.

“Hold on, baby. I’m going to show you how I treat my bad girl.” I thrust deep, and soon the only sounds that fill the room are our moans and the slap of skin on skin.

“I love this. I love your body.” I’m nestled between her thighs as I kiss her stomach. Her teddy, which I ripped apart, is hanging on her body by a thread. Just a simple tug and it’d be off, but I like it like this. She looks ravished but satisfied. Her hair is a wild mess. Her lips, both sets, are swollen from my kisses. Even now, she’s trying to catch her breath. But the pearls are in perfect order around her throat.

I reach up and squeeze one of her breasts as I kiss beneath her navel.

“I can’t wait to see this filled with our baby.” I kiss her stomach again. “Or see how big these get.” I squeeze her breast again.

“Well, you better hurry up and put a ring on it if you want that.”

“Mhhmm,” is all I say.

“Too bad for you I’m going to say no when you finally do ask.”

I can’t help but laugh at her words. I know she’s only trying to get back at me for my non-proposals, but she falls for it every time.

“Mhhmmm,” I say again. I reach between her legs and blow on her clit. “I’m not worried about it.”

“Cocky bastard.”

“Yes. You’re about to see how cocky I am. And I’m about to get another taste of heaven. Alexa, play Blurred Lines.” As soon as the song starts to play, I latch onto her clit.

CHAPTER 40

SANDY

“Just leave, jerk.” Jake has me pinned against the counter of the empty bakery, but I refuse to hug him. I let my arms hang at my sides like limp noodles. He kisses me on the mouth, but I purse my lips together, refusing his kiss.

“You’re mad at me for tying my shoes?” He gives me his trademark mischievous smile, his dimple on full display.

“Your shoes don’t have laces, but whatever. You are so going to get rejected. Leave before I tell my mother you’re bothering me.”

“Oh, please. She loves me. We just got back from a driving lesson.” I roll my eyes at him and push him away. He’s right. She’s softened a lot towards him. I still can’t believe she agreed to learn to drive, but she’s learning. Despite the fact she refuses to drive his Escalade because of its size, he trades cars with Luke on the days he gives her lessons.

“Whatever. Just leave me here. I don’t get why you can’t do your work here while I work.”

“Even though I’m a jerk, you want me around? You’re so sweet, baby.”

“Well, you’re my jerk, so I do want you around.” This time, when he kisses me, I let him.

“You know how distracting you are. I need to focus for a few hours, so I can give you my undivided attention tonight and tomorrow. Tell you what. You come over after you’re done here. I’ll grill us some steaks, pour your wine, and rub your tired feet. Sounds good?”

I finally wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his chest. I lean into him and he kisses the top of my head.

“Sounds wonderful. I need something to look forward to since I’m forced to be here.”

An early morning phone call from my mother interrupted my sleep. I woke up naked, wrapped in Jake’s sheets, and confused as to why my phone was ringing so early in the morning. I almost didn’t answer it when I saw my mother’s name flash across the screen. I knew what she wanted, and I was right. Vivian was sick, and I was needed at the bakery. Not just for half a day, but the full day since Steve was also missing in action, which meant I'd have to spend a full Saturday working for free.
