The Elite: The Complete Series of Boomer and Player (With Bonus) (32 page)

Rachel and I said goodbye, and she made me promise to call her the next day and let her know when I’d be back home. Aaron and Jack exchanged similar goodbyes, and then they left, both seemingly eager to get on the road.

“What’s going on with those two?” Jack asked once they’d gone.

I shrugged. “I have no idea. Well, I have an idea…”

Jack laughed softly and wrapped his arms around me, his hands finding their way to my low back. “Doesn’t really matter.
This
is what matters.” He brought his lips to mine and I melted against him, letting him take control of every move and sensation as he parted my lips and twirled his tongue over the tip of mine. He tasted like whiskey—the drink Aaron and he had switched to after dinner—and smelled like heaven.

“Mmm, Holly, I’ve been waiting for a kiss like that my whole life,” he said, pulling away to look down into my love drunk eyes. He stroked my hair away from my face, tucking the strands behind my ears, and then lowered his face back down and captured my lips again in a kiss that was even more breathtaking than the first.

Jack’s hands wandered down the sides of my neck, over my shoulders, and down my arms. One of his hands linked with mine and when the kiss broke off, he tugged on my arm gently.

He sat on the edge of the pull out bed and I straddled him. I paused to stroke the sides of his face, drinking in every detail, and thinking back to those terror-filled days when I’d wondered if I’d ever see him again. As my eyes filled with tears, I leaned down and kissed him before the tears could spill over.

When we parted, Jack swiped at my lower lashes. “Hey, hey, what’s the matter?” I shook my head and looked past him. He guided my chin back to look at him. “Holly, tell me what’s wrong.”

“I’m just getting over everything, I guess. Hearing you tell the story of what happened, it’s so much more real than the vision I’d had in my head when Aaron first told me. It was scary.”

He wrapped his arms around my waist and smiled softly up at me. “But I’m okay. I’m here.”

“I know. But it scares me. Why did you take a risk like that? You said it yourself, you knew the rescue team would find you soon. So, why put yourself in such danger? I mean, those guys, they could have killed you or taken you hostage and done…well, God only knows what…to you.” I bit my lip to keep it from trembling. “What if I’d lost you?”

“Holly, baby,” Jack paused to wipe away more tears. “You gotta understand that I was doing my job. Sure, it was a little risky. I
could
have waited to be rescued and then a team could have gone and taken out the camp, but I saw an opportunity and I took advantage of it. My job is full of risks and uncertainty. That’s part of why I’ve stayed single for so long. I didn’t want to have to put anyone through what you just went through these past few days. I know it wasn’t easy for you and if I could have changed it, I would have.”

I nodded, trying to understand.

“You wanna know what I was thinking when I went down the mountain side towards that plane?” He smiled again. “I was thinking that I was gonna get back here, to be with you, just like this.”

He kissed me again, slow and deep, and made it impossible for me to hold onto my fear. I dissolved into Jack, letting myself go and the haunting memories and questions finally started to fade. He ran his strong hands down my back and when they reached the waist of my jeans, he slipped them under the fabric of my shirt and peeled it from me in slow motion. Our mouths parting only long enough for him to pull it off over my head. His fingers went to work on the hooks for my bra and I freed him from his shirt.

When my bra dropped to the side of the bed, Jack stopped kissing me long enough to lean back and stare at my bare skin. He palmed my breasts and watched as I writhed on his lap, my hips moving in slow, rhythmic circles as my pleasure built between my thighs. He didn’t even have me completely stripped down and I was ready to explode. He pulled on my lower back and brought me to him, and sucked one of my nipples into his mouth. I gasped as a lightning bolt of heat sparked in my chest and ran straight down to my pussy. I gripped Jack’s hips tighter and ground against his hard cock that was pressing through his jeans.

“Holly, baby, you’re so sweet,” Jack said, nuzzling my bare breasts with his stubble coated jaw. The mix of sensations of his soft skin, and the rough hair on his cheek, was intoxicating. I closed my eyes and prayed he’d never stop. He stroked my hair and twisted the long strands around his fingers. When he got a handful gathered around his hand, he tugged back, forcing my head back so he could lick and kiss up the side of my neck.

His mouth went to my earlobe. “You’re mine, Holly,” he growled. His words took me to new heights and I squirmed on his lap, feeling myself getting wetter and hotter with each moment.

With a sudden burst of impatience, he flipped me off his lap, and tossed me back onto the bed. I gasped when he unclasped my jeans and slid them, and my panties right off my legs, leaving me naked before him. He buried his face between my thighs and licked up the juices between my lips. I moaned and dug my hands into his short hair, holding on for dear life as he sucked my clit. His fingers were soaked and he fingered me soft and slow, keeping the rhythm of his tongue on my clit. He moaned against me, and the vibrations spread a new wave of flames over my body.

I could feel my walls clenching and tightening, ready to release, when Jack pulled his fingers from inside me and slid south. I screamed his name and arched against the bed when his finger circled my asshole. He clamped me down with his free arm across my hips to keep me from bucking too hard as he continued to suck and lick up and down my tender, throbbing pussy.

“Jack!” I tried to scream again, but my voice was lost halfway as my body spiraled into an earth shattering orgasm that held me frozen for a few moments before the ripples spread over me and I could come down.

Jack stood long enough to pull off his pants and underwear. When he pushed his pants down, I jerked up into a sitting position and gasped. “What happened?” I asked, horrified by the sight of the large swath of medical tape and gauze wrapped around his thigh. “Oh my God! Jack!”

He squeezed his eyes closed for a moment. “Holly, it’s just a scratch.”

“Do you have stitches? You didn’t tell me you were hurt! Why didn’t you say something?” I couldn’t take my eyes off the large bandage.

“I’m fine.”

“But, Jack—”

“I’ll show you,” he said, interrupting me with smoldering stubbornness. He pushed me back again and before I could get out another question, he climbed on top of me, and plunged deep inside. I moaned with surprise and a hot sear of pleasure that spread all over my body as his thick cock thrust inside me. He pushed into me and I clawed at the bedding, trying to get a fistful of something to hold onto.

Obviously his leg was just fine.

Jack groaned as he lost himself inside me. He lifted my legs up, over his shoulders, and my hips left the bed as he thrust again. The subtle change had me seeing stars and I cried out his name.

He shuddered his release inside me and the starts burst behind my tightly closed eyes as I was pitched into another spiral of wanton heat as a second, even stronger orgasm ripped over me. Our heaved breaths mingled together as Jack relaxed down onto his forearms, holding his body above mine, and brought his eyes back to mine.

“You’re incredible.” He whispered as he crushed his lips onto mine. The heat of our kiss had me dizzy and I clung to him, not wanting him to stop.

When Jack finally pulled away, he rolled over, onto his back, his chest still heaving as he caught his breath. I rolled to my side and smiled down at him, propped up on my elbow. “Worth the wait?”

He grinned. “Absolutely.”

“What if I’m not ready to call it a night?” I asked, teasing his chest with the faintest tickle of my fingertips, as I walked them down his rock hard torso, over his perfectly sculpted abs, and played in the deep v-lines at his hips.

His eyes went wide as I dared to dip even lower. I made circles around his balls and dragged my fingers back up to explore the length of his shaft, that began to come alive again at my gentle touch. “I’m listening…”

“Good.” I pushed myself up onto all fours and climbed down his body, leaving a trail of kisses where my fingers had just passed by, until I reached his thick cock. I sucked him into my mouth and moaned at the sweet taste of our sex. I could taste myself on him and the smells and tastes overwhelmed me. My pussy throbbed and ached for the feel of him. And I smiled as he went stiff after a few long strokes with my tongue. I hollowed my cheeks and sucked up to the tip, swirled around the velvety soft skin, and then slowly, tortuously, kissed and licked my way back down his cock. When I reached the base, I gently tugged his balls into my mouth and Jack groaned out. He fisted the covers as his hips jerked.

When he was rock hard and pulsing again, I released him from my lips and straddled him. “Look at me, Jack.”

He opened his eyes and watched as I ran my fingers between my slit, spreading my fresh juices down my lips. My clit throbbed as I bumped it with my fingers and I moaned out.

“God, Holly, you’re so fucking sexy. Keep going, baby.” Jack’s eyes were dark, almost hypnotic, as he watched me finger myself. I dragged my other hand up my body and toyed with my own nipple. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I moved up his body and settled myself onto him. It was warm and pliable and he slid in easily, but still filled me with heat and pleasure.

I kept playing with my own tits as I rode him, slowly at first, but as my urgency grew, I couldn’t hold back and ground my hips faster and harder. Jack guided my hips with his hands and watched as I shuddered and spiraled out of control. He kept me going until he found his own release and then I collapsed down onto his chest.

“
That
was definitely worth the wait,” Jack said, his voice horse and husky against my ear.

I smiled and nodded against his chest, unable to speak, as I crashed down from the new heights of pleasure and relief.

Eventually, I rolled off of him, and we clung together, neither minding the sweat soaked skin of the other, and held tight as we drifted into a deep, cleansing sleep.

Chapter Nineteen

Jack

Waking up beside Holly was like living all the fantasies I’d had about her during my time away, both on the air craft carrier, and those nights in the desert. Reality was much sweeter. The morning light was just starting to stream through the vertical blinds on the windows and I didn’t need to roll over and check the clock to know it was still early. I followed the beams of light over Holly’s shoulder and traced my fingertips down her soft skin. As I reached the place where her skin met the edge of the sheets, my cock stirred, wanting to tear them away from her in order to see the full expanse of her wonderful body.

I fought back the urge to wake her to make love, and trailed my fingers back up, letting them get lost in her thick hair that was scattered all over her pillowcase. She stirred as I stroked the long strands, and I watched as her eyes fluttered open.

“Good morning, baby.”

She smiled up at me, a soft, sleepy smile that made my heart ache. “I can’t believe you’re really here,” she whispered, reaching up and stroking a finger along my stubble.

I grabbed her hand and planted a kiss to the center of her palm. “I’m here.”

“How do you feel?” She asked, a flash of concern breaking into her gaze.

I knew she meant the cut in my leg, but I dragged her hand under the sheets, and wrapped it around my cock. I chuckled as her eyes went wide. “Jack!” She protested, her tone light and full of giggles. She rolled her eyes at me, but couldn’t keep another laugh from bubbling from her pretty mouth. “I
meant
your leg.”

“It’s fine. However, what ya got your hands on could certainly use some attention,” I growled into her ear. I dragged my lips down her earlobe and smiled against her cheek as her body shivered under my touch. When my lips met hers, she moaned into my mouth, and I rolled my body on top of hers. I loved the way our bodies met and melded together under the sheets. We fit together. I kissed her slowly, stroking her lips and tongue with my own, exploring every sensation and taste as we shifted and moved together.

When she parted her legs, I didn’t hesitate to take her up on the invitation.

“Jack, your phone’s ringing!” Holly called over the spray of water from the shower. After our morning spent in bed, we’d showered off together in Aaron’s upstairs bathroom, and Holly had stepped out moments before as I’d finished rinsing.

“Who is it?” I asked, peeking my head out the curtain.

She handed it to me, and I gripped tightly to keep the slick plastic from sliding out of my wet fingers. I didn’t recognize the number, but it was a government issue phone. I hardly doubted it was some scammer looking to sell me a new car warranty. I pressed the button and held it up to my ear. “Lieutenant McGuire.”

Holly hesitated, shifting her weight from foot to foot, ultimately deciding to step out of the bathroom so I could have some privacy. It wasn’t necessary, but it was easier to concentrate when her slick, wet, and naked body wasn’t feet away, with nothing but a terry cloth towel keeping me from her.

“Good morning, Lieutenant, I apologize for the interruption. This is Captain Louis,” I recognized the name, he was a Captain with our support branch. “We’ve arranged a meeting and need you to attend to do a final debriefing on the situation…”

He didn’t add
that you created
, but it was heavily implied.

“Sure thing,” I replied. I’d known that my escape would likely stir up trouble. The rebels who had been attacked would likely attempt a counterstrike. It was a topic that had been discussed ad nauseum in my previous meetings, but I understood if there were follow-up questions now that an entire day had passed since the events had transpired. “I can be back to base later today.”

We finalized the details and I hung up, finished my shower, and dressed. Holly had left the room, and I followed the sounds downstairs to the kitchen where Aaron was waiting with coffee and pastries from Carly’s coffee shop.
