Avoiding Temptation (Avoiding #3)(137)

“Jack, take me,” she growled into his ear.

He didn’t need anymore urging as he grasped the waistline of her tights and shoved them down her legs forcefully. She hoped she didn’t have runs in them, but at this point, she could care less. Jack released himself from the confines of his boxers, and shoved her back harder against the tree. He body was pulsing with the heat radiating between and the forcefulness.

This was her Jack.

He lifted her up off the ground easily, until his dick pressed against her opening, and then he slid her down onto him. Her pu**y took all of him in and tightened around the welcome intrusion.

“This is just how I like you,” he said, taking one of her hands, forcing it over her head, and then doing the same with the other.

She smirked at him from her position with him inside of her, and her completely exposed to him. “I’ll try to hold in my screams,” she said defiantly.

“Don’t. The world could use a lesson.”

She laughed until he moved out of her slowly. It was the only movement he took slow after that. He thrust up inside of her forcefully over and over again. The risk of getting caught only intensified the excitement and desperation in their movements. And he took her unrestrainedly; in a way that left no doubt in her mind that there would never be anything like this, no one else like Jack.

He could take her slow or fast or rough or f**king brutally, and she liked it. She wanted more. And she couldn’t imagine a time that she wouldn’t ever want more.

As Jack pumped inside of her, Lexi’s back scratched against the tree, and she felt her world tilting—the way it always did with Jack. Her breathing quickened, and she felt the first wave of orgasm take over her body. She clenched all around him, and he hit climax with her. As they both rode out the pleasure coursing through their bodies, Jack rested his forehead down on her.

“Mine,” he whispered.

“Forever.”

They separated and were in the middle of pulling themselves together when they heard someone clear his throat behind them.

Lexi dropped her hands immediately, and Jack jumped away. They both turned, faced the source of the interruption, and saw a young male cop standing nearby.

“Sorry, officer,” Jack said with a nod.

“I’d move along,” the guy said. He looked more like he was trying to hide his amusement than admonishing them.

Jack placed his hand on the small of Lexi’s back and walked with her off of the trail. “Sorry about that,” Jack said.

“About what?” Lexi asked. “The orgasm?”

Jack laughed. “No. I’m never sorry for those. Sorry about the cop.”

“Pervert.”

Jack cracked up again. “How much time do we have?”

Lexi checked her watch. “Shit! We’re cutting it really close. We have to meet Chyna at her place, and then we have dinner reservations almost right after.”

They walked out to the street, and Jack hailed a cab. He opened the back door and let her slide in first. “Hey, Lex,” he murmured.

“Yeah?”

“I have something I have to get before dinner. Can I meet you there?”

Lexi narrowed her eyes. After that encounter in the park and all this talk about eating her for dessert first, Lexi had no idea why he wouldn’t want to go with her. It made her suspicious, and it was a feeling she really didn’t like. Years of suspicions made her stomach jolt at the thought.

Jack could pretty much see it on her face, and he bent forward and kissed her. “You’ll like it.”

“Where are you going?” she asked anyway. Her stomach fluttered anxiously.

“It’s a surprise—for you. I don’t want to ruin it.”

“The last time you left in New York—”

Jack shushed her with another kiss. “I’m not leaving you.”

“I didn’t think you were.”

“It’s a good surprise, but it is a surprise. Please let me do this,” he whispered.

Lexi nodded slowly. She trusted him. He looked so earnest in his request, not an ounce of deception on his face. She wondered if he had planned this the whole time or if it was all just spur of the moment.

“Okay. I’ll see you at Chyna’s or the restaurant?”

“I’m not sure yet. Probably the restaurant.”

“I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you, too, Lex,” he said right before closing the taxi door.

Lexi gave the address to Chyna’s apartment to the cab driver as her mind drifted away to Jack. They’d had a great weekend in the city, and it just further solidified her desire to move back. She’d had offers from New York law firms before choosing Atlanta to be closer to Ramsey, and she was sure she could acquire a job here again with all the experience that she had gained. And Jack surely could get a job in the city now. He had been applying broadly, but she wanted to talk to him about focusing here more. She thought it would be good for them to get out of Atlanta.

She just hoped that whatever this surprise was would be good. She knew Jack had changed, but sometimes, it still scared her, knowing that they were together. She loved him with all her heart, and the only thing she wanted to do was give it away to him. Now, she just needed to trust herself not to try to hold on to it too tight. Jack knew what he was doing with it.
