Breaking Free (Invitation to Eden) (11 page)

Jesse threw his head back, enjoying the feel of her wet tongue on him, the softness in her touch, the closeness he felt with her.

She licked him and his body convulsed, needing to bury himself inside her as she drew him in to a place where emotions ruled.

Perspiration beaded his forehead, and he swiped it. “Alaska, baby, you don’t have to...” he murmured.

She lifted her head and gave him a warm smile. “I like the way you say my name.”

His heart squeezed as her words triggered a craving he’d never before experienced. “Come here.” He put one hand around her neck, and his pulse pounded in his throat as he pulled her to his mouth. He kissed her long and deep, savoring the taste of her. He brushed her hair from her face and worked to find his voice. “I need to be inside you now.”

She nodded, desire reflecting in her eyes as she peeled off her dress. Her eyes locked on his as she bared herself to him. It was as though she was offering more than just her body. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a condom. She took it from him, and he groaned as she tore it open and rolled it on. He gripped her hips and positioned her on top of him. She wiggled, but he held her tight, controlling the pace. He offered her an inch, and she moaned, trying to break free of his hold so she could impale herself.

Inch-by-inch he slid into her, until he was buried in her balls deep. Good God, she felt so good...so right. He cupped her breasts and gently stroked her nipples as she moved her hips, rocking into him.

Her hands went to his chest, and she lifted herself slightly, driving his cock in and out of her. Fuck, if she kept that up, he’d lose it in record time.

His mind shut down as they established a rhythm, and his fingers bit into her hips harder. Overcome with need, the things this girl made him feel, he powered his hips upward. As he stretched her, her fingers curled into his chest, and she made a soft, mewling sound. Her eyes clouded with desire, and tenderness stole over him, the need to take her higher and higher urging him on.

“You are so beautiful, Alaska,” he murmured, his cock throbbing inside her as she opened herself to him.

She gave him a genuine smile, and his heart twisted with the things she stirred inside him. He pushed impossibly deeper and reached between them to press his thumb to her clit. Her eyes flared hot, and he knew she was close...so close.

His throat dried. “I love when you come for me,” he managed to say as everything inside him screamed possession. Love.

“Oh God, Jesse,” she cried out as she arched her back, releasing all over his cock.

Her juice dripped to his balls, and they contracted against his body. “Fuck,” he murmured, struggling to hang on as she rode out the waves.

She rocked her hips, and he closed his eyes against the flood of heat, his body screaming for release. “Please, Jesse,” she cried out as if she could feel the tension rising in him. “Come with me.”

Her muscles clenched around him and every working brain cell shut down, the only thing he could think about was this girl and how good it felt to be inside her, how he never wanted to be anywhere else. He gripped her hips, and his body trembled almost uncontrollably as he held her still and shot off inside her.

“Oh, fuck,” he yelled, as he throbbed and stayed buried deep until he completely depleted himself in her. Her hands found his, and they threaded their fingers together. “Oh my God, Alaska.” He pulled her hand to his mouth and gave it a kiss.

Her soft chuckle seeped under his skin. “Yeah, I know,” she said, her eyes raking over him.

He inched out of her, discarded the condom, and pulled her down on top of him. Her body melted against his as she rested her head against his chest. Her lashes fluttered against his skin as her finger circled his nipple.

He exhaled slowly, feeling relaxed for the first time in...hell, he’d never been this loose. God, if only they could stay like this forever. Everything in this situation felt natural, right.

There was no denying that he’d grown to care about Alaska. Had always cared about her, in fact, enough so that he was willing to take his chances with her father in order to bring her here.

But where did they go from here? In a few short days, they’d be going home, and he’d be stepping back into the role of bodyguard like nothing had changed.

Only problem was, now that he’d been with Alaska—been inside her—everything had changed.

A
laska stretched out on the sand beside Jesse. “It is so beautiful here.”

“Yeah, it is.”

“I still can’t believe you did this for me.” He felt her studying his profile as she breathed in the warm air and let it out slowly. “I knew there was a reason I always liked you.”

He angled his head to see her. “You always liked me?”

She rolled her eyes at him. “Of course I did. Don’t pretend you didn’t know it, either.”

“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised,” he teased as he flexed his muscles. “What’s not to like?”

She went up on one elbow and turned toward him. “How come you never acted on what was between us?” She winked. “God knows I tried to get you to.”

All humor fell from his eyes. “I’m not the guy for you,” he said soberly.

Her head jerked back. “How can you say that?”

“You don’t know me, Alaska.”

“Then let me get to know you.” When he went quiet, she asked, “Are you afraid I won’t like what I see?”

“I have nothing to offer you.”

Her glance moved over his face, taking in the scars he couldn’t hide with tattoos. “You’re right,” she said. “You were brought up in a horrible family, dragged up on the streets, and did what you had to do to survive. Really, you’re nothing but a bike-riding street thug.”

He flinched, and even though it was true, her words still stung. “Shit, why don’t you tell me what you really think?”

“I’d rather tell you what I know.”

“Go ahead, then. You know, since you seem to be on a roll and all.”

“Well, what I know is that for a guy who had to face what you did, you turned out to be pretty damn amazing.” He opened his mouth to cut her off, but she pressed her fingers to his lip and continued. “You’re the first guy, the first person in my entire life, who ever cared about me. You actually risked your life to give me a bit of excitement. Honestly, no one has ever put my needs first, especially at the risk of losing their life.” She shook her head. “Do you have any idea how much that means to me?” She trailed her fingers over his face, surfing the outline of his jaw. “But you’re right, any guy who would do what you did for me certainly isn’t the guy for me.”

“Listen, Alaska. You have a bright future ahead of you, and you don’t need a nobody like me dragging you down. In fact, when we go back home, I’m going to talk to your father. I’m going to tell him to let you live your own life.”

She smiled and settled her palm on his cheek. “You’d do that for me?”

“I would,” he said without hesitation. “And I will.”

“You know what he’ll do to you, right?”

“I don’t care what he does to me, because I’m not going to let him hold you back anymore.”

She traced her hands over his tattoo. “Just for the record, Jesse, you’re hardly a nobody. In fact, you’re my hero. You set all of this up, arranged a week at this amazing place, just for me. You gave me the opportunity to free myself in so many ways, and you showed me what real intimacy is.” She exhaled slowly and went back on her elbows. “And you should know, I’m not going back. I was offered a job dancing.”

Shocked, he stiffened, but then he smiled, because the more he thought about it, the more he knew this was perfect. Here, she’d get out from under her father’s control and live the life she wanted. “You’re so happy when you’re dancing.”

“I would ask you to stay with me, but I know you’d eventually get bored and abandon me just like everyone else I’ve ever cared about.”

Anger churned in his gut, and suddenly feeling very defensive, he shot back, “I took the job because I cared about your wellbeing. But the second I set eyes on you, I felt this jolt inside of me.” He shook his head. “I never felt anything like that before. It was like...like...”

“Destiny?” she asked.

“I don’t know, Alaska. All I know is that being so close to you, watching you every day, and not being able to touch you, kiss you, make you mine, damn near drove me out of my mind.” He cupped her face. “I’m not like your parents and would never tire of you, never in a million years. Believe me, I want to stay. If you’re not in Chicago, then there’s no reason for me to go back.”

“I guess that settles it then.” She gave him a triumphant grin.

His head came back with a start, realizing she’d turned everything back around on him. “Wait, did you just...”

She grinned. “Yeah. I’ve been taking psychology as my electives.”

“Alaska, I have nothing...”

“You have me. Do you need anything more?”

They stared at each other for a long time, and as he thought about her fantasies, he suddenly couldn’t stand the thoughts of another man’s hands on her body.
He
wanted to be the last guy to touch her, care for her, give her everything she wanted.

His fingers found hers as something in him gave. “Why do you want me, Alaska?”

“When I first stepped foot on this island, I felt like Cinderella. But then I realized Prince Charming didn’t exist because the men in my life were greedy and corrupt and cared only about themselves. You proved me wrong
.”
She squeezed his fingers
. “You’re
my Prince Charming.”

“I’m no...”

“Yes, you are. Believe me. I know what I’m talking about.”

There was a fire in her eyes that told him not to mess with her. “How?

“Because I believe in you.”

He swallowed and thought back to his fucked up childhood, his days street fighting. “No one has ever believed in me before.”

She nudged him playfully. “That’s because you’ve been hanging out with the wrong people.”

He grinned. “I should probably tell you that I was also offered a job here, as security.”

The excited smile that she aimed his way nearly stopped his heart. “It’s like this island knew what we needed long before we did.”

“Yeah, you might be right about that,” he said, thinking about how she crossed over into his reality at the motorcycle club.

Her eyes lit up with hope and joy. “So you’ll stay here.” She waved her hand toward the beach. “We can disappear here together on Eden.”

He pushed her hair from her face, his heart aching with all the things he felt for her. “Alaska, things won’t be like they were. Your fantasy ends on the weekend. You know that right?”

She smiled at him, a smile so full of love and warmth his chest swelled until he could barely catch his breath. She leaned into him, her sweet scent overwhelming him as she pressed her lips to his, a soft kiss, a kiss full of love and promise.

“You’re wrong, Jesse. My fantasy is just beginning.”

“Yeah?” he murmured into her mouth, knowing everything he ever wanted was right in front of him.

“Yeah,” she responded as she kissed him back.

Jesse pulled her in tighter. He might be a street thug, and she might be a mob boss’s daughter, but together, they were both half of something pretty cool, something he’d be a damn fool to walk away from. “I believe mine is, too, Alaska,” he murmured, deepening the kiss. “I believe mine is, too...”

Hold Me Close
by Eliza Gayle (Purgatory Club, Book 6)

S
ometimes you need to cut and run and sometimes the ties run too deep to abandon. Bonnie’s job at Purgatory keeps her on edge in more ways than one. Every day the pain of her grief over losing her Dom threatens to consume her. Her only escape comes at the hands of the resident tattooed bad boy who likes to keep things light and loose with a variety of women. He may not be the Dom of her dreams, but he chases away the darkness if only for one night... Dex is used to unattached submissives coming to him for a chance to feel the kiss of his flogger or the sting of his whip until they find their own Doms. With his busy life of ink and kink he likes keeping his women at arm’s length. Except one night a month when Bonnie shreds him every time she asks him to hold her close. When a secret invitation to an island resort arrives, is it the answer to their problems? Or their worst nightmare?
