Breaking Away (Assassins, #5)(70)
He paused, running his fingers through his hair before he sat up. “I got picked up by the Florida Rays and I was supposed to leave. I begged Alana to go with me. She was nineteen. She could go to college in Florida, and I knew we would be happy. She agreed. We were ready to go, but her dad, my mentor, freaked the f*ck out. I told him I loved her, that I would take good care of her, but he wasn’t having it. He blacked my eye, threatened to do more, and told me I wasn’t good enough for his daughter and that I was dead to their family.”
“Jeez,” Reese gasped, shaking her head.
“Yeah, he forbade our relationship. I looked Alana in the face and said, Leave with me, I promise I’ll take care of everything, but she shook her head. I knew then that her love for me wasn’t as strong as my love for her. I was willing to give everything up, the man I thought of as my father for her, and she wouldn’t do it for me.”
“That sucks, I’m sorry.”
He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s in the past. I don’t even think of her much anymore. Only when something reminds me of her. She doesn’t contact me, nor do I her. I know she and Claire talk some, and that’s why it makes me mad when Claire says shit like that. It makes me think that Alana turned everything on me.”
“Yeah, I agree.”
“But whatever, no big deal, water under the bridge. All that matters is Claire now. I feel like I failed my sister and mom, so now I am devoting everything to make sure this girl succeeds and I think it’s working. We have been good, she even kissed my cheek yesterday,” he said with a grin that lit up his face.
Reese couldn’t help but smile. “That’s wonderful.”
“Yeah, I was mad and felt guilty at first when she came to me. I didn’t want to grow up. I loved joking around, being an idiot, and f*cking anything with tits, but then she came into my life, and I decided all that had to be put on hold. I needed to concentrate on her. I’m happy with my decision. I’m more than happy with my life right now.”
Reese nodded and couldn’t have agreed more. That was why she knew that nothing more could ever come out of their arrangement. He was too absorbed in Claire. He wouldn’t have time for a relationship with her, not that she wanted one. His statement just solidified what she already knew. Reese looked up when his phone beeped and watched as he reached over to the nightstand to grab it. Reading the screen, he typed back quickly, and then threw his legs over the bed before coming around to her.
“That’s Claire. I got to go, lift your arms.”
She looked up at him, confused. “Huh?”
“Lift your arms, I need my shirt.”
She laughed as she did what he asked, her hands coming up to cover her breast. He watched her as he pulled his shirt on and then he reached for her hands, removing them before dropping his mouth to her breasts, taking her nipple in his mouth. She cried out as he bit her, pushing her back into the bed. She hoped the food didn’t spill over, but then she didn’t care as his hand found its way between her legs. Moving his tongue quickly across and around her taut bud, she was breathless, her fingers tangling in his hair as he dipped his finger inside her, teasing her clit. Moving his mouth up her chest, her throat to her mouth, he kissed her long and hard, moving his tongue with hers as he flicked his finger quickly on her clit, knowing exactly how to make her scream and squirm underneath him.
She swore he handled her better than he did a puck.
Screaming out in his mouth, she hit her peak, her fingers biting into the back of his arms as he continued the pressure between her legs until she was jerking away from him. That didn’t derail his need for her though. If anything, it made it stronger. Dropping his shorts, he flipped her over and brought her hips up to enter her from behind.
“Good god!” she screamed out, breathless as he pounded into her, filling her completely and utterly deliciously before knocking her world off its axis. His fingers bit into her hips, his body smacking into her full ass as he took what he wanted. When his hand came down on her ass, she screamed out, clenching him with her * to show him she liked that a lot.
“You want more?” he asked before taking ahold of her hair and pulling it back. “Tell me you want more.”
“Yes!” she gasped as she squeezed him more.
His hand came cracking against her ass, the sound filling the room along with their sounds of amazing sex. His groans ran up her spines and when he slammed into her once last time, letting out a sound of pure satisfaction, she closed her eyes tight from the pain of his pulling the shit out of her hair. Her ass was aching, her scalp burned, her * pulsed, and her body felt so f*cking amazing that nothing could bring her down. He pulled out of her, dusting kisses along her red ass, trailing them up her back before turning her face to the side to kiss her long and thoroughly.
“I think my work here is done. Breakfast and multiple orgasms… you won’t get that at your favorite diner.”
“Sure the hell won’t,” she giggled as she rolled over, putting her hands in the air as she took in deep breaths. “I don’t ever want to move.”
He bit into his lip, his eyes roaming her body as he went back to getting dressed. “Me neither. Fuck, you’re hot. Reese. Cover yourself so I can leave.”
She laughed as she did it, but then he yelled out. “I was kidding! Jeez.” He came over to the bed, pulling the blankets away before framing her face with his hands and kissing her so deeply that her throat was thick with unwanted emotion. Stealing a few more kisses, he whispered, “Don’t ever hide this gorgeous, alluring body from me. I crave it. Like my favorite candy, which by the way is Reese Pieces.”
