Fever (Breathless #2)(109)

“Hell yes, as long as I get to come with you.”

“I need some help in that department,” she said. “If I pick up my hands, I’m gonna fall off and I don’t want to do that.”

His body shook with amusement. “No, I don’t want you falling off either. You just keep holding on. I’ll take care of you, baby.”

He moved one of his hands from her hip to slide between them so his finger caressed her clit. She immediately tensed over him and her eyes closed dreamily.

“’Kay, you can come now,” she declared.

If his dick wasn’t about to explode, he’d chuckle again, but he was too far gone to laugh at how damn cute she was being. Instead he increased the pressure on her clit and began to surge upward, burying his c**k as far into her ass as he could manage.

She came first, her head thrown back, his name a cry on her lips. He had to catch her as she fell forward, her entire body going limp as a dishrag. He wrapped both arms around her, holding her tight as he continued to arch into her. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw and then he let out a roar that vibrated the walls as he exploded inside her.

Jet after jet pumped into her body. He came violently, an endless stream, his balls tight, his dick straining until it neared the point of pain. He lifted his hips one last time, holding himself as his back bowed.

“Jesus,” he muttered as he collapsed back onto the bed, her body blanketing his.

She was warm and sated, limp and completely his. His c**k twitched inside her and she nuzzled her face against his chest.

“Gonna have to do this again,” she slurred, her words barely audible. “I like when you f**k me in my sexy shoes.”

His body shook and his grip tightened around her, holding her close, hugging her to him, never wanting to let her go.

“Baby, I like f**king you any way I can, but the shoes are definitely a plus. I’ll buy you a different pair for every day of the week if this is what I have to look forward to.”

Chapter thirty-six

“Still no sign of Kingston?” Jace asked grimly.

“No, sir,” came Kaden’s brisk reply. “I’ve had Trevor poking around down where he and Bethany used to hang when she was on the streets. Haven’t seen any sign of him and he hasn’t been back to the apartment.”

Jace sighed. “Okay, keep me posted.”

He disconnected the call and leaned back in his chair. As he lifted his gaze, he saw that Ash stood in the doorway, a frown marring his face.

“Trouble?” Ash asked as he sauntered in to take a seat.

Jace shook his head. “Well, yes and no.”

He studied Ash closely, looking for the usual anger in his eyes he wore around the holidays. Though Ash’s family typically only bugged him through New Year’s, this year they’d been persistent even after the holidays and it had only made Ash’s mood blacker.

“Anything you want to talk about?” Ash asked.

“Not much to discuss,” Jace muttered. “Kingston is still a no-show. Which is good, don’t get me wrong. I’d be happy if he disappeared from Bethany’s life permanently. But Bethany is sick with worry and it’s starting to wear on her.”

“Didn’t she go out and hang with Mia and her gaggle of girls?”

Jace couldn’t help the smile that attacked his lips at the memory of Bethany drunk and cute as hell and thoroughly bent on seduction. His body still came to life remembering the lusty way she’d made love to him that night.

“Yeah, she went out with them a week ago. Had a good time. Got drunk as hell and wanted me to f**k her in her heels,” Jace said with a grin.

Ash shook his head. “Not cool, man. I get that I’m not even allowed to think about her anymore, but you giving me images of her drunk off her ass and teetering around on f**k-me shoes? Not cool.”

Jace held his hands up, grateful they could now joke about the fact Ash had slept with her.

“Problem is, after she slept off the hangover—and we f**ked again,” he added, just to needle Ash. He was rewarded with another glare and he chuckled. “Anyway, problem is, while she was out with Mia and her girls, she wasn’t thinking about Jack. When she was f**king me, she wasn’t thinking about Jack. And when she realized she hadn’t been thinking about him, she felt guilty. And now she’s more worried than ever because he’s disappeared.”

“That sucks,” Ash muttered. “What an ass**le.”

“Maybe he’s trying to do the right thing. Between you and me, his feelings for her were not brotherly. She doesn’t know that, but then, she’s so naïve about shit like that. She saw him as a brother. I know that absolutely. She didn’t have feelings for him beyond that. But he, on the other hand, saw her as a woman. A woman he wanted, and he didn’t like it too much that she hooked up with me because that took her away from him. So I figure he’s either sulking and doesn’t want to see her knowing he can’t have her, or he’s actually trying to do the right thing and bow out of her life so she can move forward and be happy. Problem with that is, she’s worried and she misses him.”

“Sucks for you, man,” Ash said.

“Yeah. I want her happy, and in order for that to happen, she needs to know that Jack is safe and taken care of.”

“So what are you going to do?”
