BAD HEART: A Stepbrother Romance (A Step Over the Line Book Book 2) (18 page)

I then kiss her lower back and
start my way up her body. Kiss after kiss, moving up and up. My hands touch her
bra, quickly twisting the clasp, opening it. I slide my hands around and cup
her perfect tits. I hold there and keep kissing up to the back of her neck. She
turns her head and looks at me, smiling.

“
I
feel like I
’
ve been waiting
for so long
…
you have no
idea
…”

We kiss. Hard. Fast. She bites at
my lip. She
’
s wild now.
Different from the shy girl at the party.

“
Tell
me what happened,
”
I say.

I
’
m
holding her tits. Kissing her lips. Her ass is grinding against my cock.

“
It
was bad,
”
she says.

“
What
was?
”

“
I
tried to sleep with Hunter. And couldn
’
t.
”

“
What
did you do?
”
I ask, my heart
racing with burning jealousy.

“
He
couldn
’
t do what you did.
”

“
He
touched you?
”

“
Yes.
”

“
Where?
”

“
Between
my legs.
”

“
Fuck.
What did you do.
”

Our eyes meet.
“
I jerked him off. I hated it. It
was so stupid, Jake
…”

I
’
m
on fire with jealousy. I hate myself for all this. It should be easy, right?
Find a woman, fall for her, then just enjoy life. But it can never be that easy
for me.

“
Jake
…”

I press my lips to Jade
’
s. No more talking.

I kiss her hand. My hands release
her breasts and I hurry to get her panties. I bend her over the side of the
bed. I open my jeans and let them drop. I wrap my hand around my thick cock and
come at her. I use two fingers to test her tight center and try to make it
easier to enter her. It takes a few good thrusts to get inside her. When I do,
I hiss and try to control everything inside me. I hold her hips tight and fuck.
Pulling back and thrusting forward. Trying to get the image of she and someone
else out of my mind. Nobody can do what I can do to her and for her.

“
Oh,
Jake!
”
she cries.

Finally able to scream as loud as
she wants.

I slide a hand to her shoulder and
hold tight, pulling as I fuck her, making sure I
’
m
as deep as possible.

Jade fucks back at me, jumping and
moving to her toes.

I grunt with each thrust, just
wanting to come. Wanting to fill her up and leave her on the bed.

I grit my teeth and my hand gently
touches her back. Suddenly both my hands are touching her back and sides. I
’
m pounding at her, but I catch
myself slowing. Until I pull out of her and back up. My hands smack at her
waist and I push her to the bed. I turn her around and come at her again. My
cock slides deep into her and I put a hand to her neck. I pull her up and kiss
her.

I fuck her gently. Slowly. Feeling
every inch of her body and every inch of my body loving her body.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I feel the rush hit me and I can
’
t stop it. Our tongues are
battling as my cock starts to spill inside her. When she feels me coming, her
mouth opens and she groans with each pulse.

“
Fuck,
”
I whisper.

Our foreheads are touching as I
look down. I watch my cock slowly moving in and out of her.

This is what I want. Nothing else.
Just Jade. She
’
s perfect.
She can never have anyone but me.

I keep going long after I
’
m done. Just feeling that
burning heat and wet welcoming feeling as she spills all over me.

I finally grab her by the ass and
lift. I carry us up more on the bed and pull out of her sweet body and put her
next to me so we can stare at each other.

I move a few strands of sweaty hair
out of her face. She reaches up and holds my hand to her face. She turns her
head and kisses my hand.

“
Jake
…
I can
’
t do this
…”

“
Sweetie
…”

“
No,
”
she says.
“
Something has to give.
”

Tears are in her eyes. I hurry to
wipe a stray one that falls down her cheek.

“
I
can
’
t
…”

“
You
can
’
t what?
”
I ask.
“
Tell me, dammit.
”

“
I
can
’
t hold back from you
anymore. I need it all. I need it to be right.
”

I take a deep breath. Fuck, nothing
sounds so good than Jade
’
s
honest heart.

“
Nothing
about us is right,
”
I say.
“
And nothing ever will be. But I
can
’
t stop wanting you.
Needing you. I don
’
t feel
alive unless I
’
m with you.
”

“
Jake,
I have a problem.
”

“
What?
”

“
I
’
m
…
in love with you.
”

And there it is. Just hanging there
for the taking. She loves me. Of course she loves me. How can she not love me?
I
’
ve never done to her and
for her what I
’
ve done for
other women. Hell, I
’
ve
never been close to another woman. It was all physical. All about power and
command.

With Jade
…
it
’
s
about heart.

I take her hand and put it to my
chest.
“
It
’
s still beating, sweetie. But with
you, it
’
s racing. Nobody
makes me feel like this. It
’
s
…”

“
Bad,
”
she says.
“
So bad, Jake.
”

“
Yeah,
it is. I
’
ve always been bad
though. I don
’
t give a
fuck. You
’
re worth anything
that waits.
”

Jade blinks away a tear.
“
I can
’
t stay the night, Jake. I have to go back.
”

“
I
know you do,
”
he says.
“
But we have the next minute,
right? Just you and me. Staring. Kissing. Whatever.
”

“
How
is it going to work?
”

“
I
don
’
t know. But it will. I
’
ll fight for it. For you.
”

“
My
father and your mother
…”

I feel the sting in my heart. There
’
s nothing I can do to make the
truth go away.

So I kiss Jade.

I kiss her hard. I kiss her deeply.
I kiss her like nobody has ever kissed her before.
I kiss her like I
’
ve never kissed anyone
before.

We go well beyond that minute I
said we had. And I would have kissed her until the morning if allowed.

But Jade stops me. She stops us.

And it hurts.

We get out of the bed together. I
get my jeans on first and then drop to one knee and help Jade get back into her
dress. I help her zip up and then kiss her one last time.

“
I
’
ll see you tomorrow,
”
I say.
“
I
’
ll
come by for an awkward breakfast.
”

Jade smiles.
“
Maybe I
’
ll be at the pool in a bikini to tease you.
”

“
Sweetie
…
you do that and I
’
ll be waiting for you. I
’
ll fuck you so hard, you
’
ll have no choice but to scream
and blow our cover.
”

“
Our
cover
…”

“
I
hate it too. Go home before shit hits the fan. I promise you we will figure it
out.
”

Jade touches my face.
“
Jake, I swear to you
…
I love you
…
about as much as I hate you.
”

“
I
’
ve done my job then,
”
I say.

I don
’
t
walk her to the door.

Why?

Because there
’
s a lump in my throat and if I
talk again, I
’
m going to
lose it. God, I feel like a pussy right now.

She
’
s
gone and I
’
m alone.

I crash to my bed and grab the
pillow she had been resting her head on. I squeeze it tight and smell it. So I
can sleep and dream of Jade.

It feels so good and right.

But how can it ever work? How can
we actually make this thing real?

And just like that I know what
it feels like to be heartbroken.

~*~

(Jade)

I get home way too late. Not that
it matters. Hell, I probably could stay over Jake
’
s
and nobody would care. But with my luck, it would be the one morning my father
comes looking for me. Then I
’
m
screwed.

So I retreat home.

I carry my heels over my shoulder
and open the front door.

The house is quiet.

I think about the night I picked up
Jake. How we ended up in the kitchen. How I ended up on the counter.

Holy fuck
…

It
’
s
so hot and good.

I
’
m
in love with him. In love with my stepbrother.

I can
’
t
believe I process it that way, but I do.

I walk the steps slowly, sick to my
stomach. This was not the night I meant to have. At all. I tried to fight
reality and lost the battle.

I get to my bedroom and stop. I
skip my room and go to Jake
’
s.
I open the door and look around. Nothing about it screams his name, but there
’
s a lingering smell of smoke and
cologne that makes my body tingle and panties tug tight to my slit.

I lick my lips and wish he was
here. So I could walk into his room and just go at him. Taste his rock hard
body
…
his rock hard
something
else
.

It hurts to shut the door.

Back to my room, I open the door.

I step inside and turn on the
light.

I scream.

“
Jade.
You
’
re home.
”

I drop my heels on the floor, along
with my purse.

Sitting in my desk chair is Hunter.
His hands grip the arms of the chair tightly.

“
Hunter
…”

“
You
left me,
”
he says.

“
No,
it wasn
’
t
…”

“
Jade,
I know. I know everything. I know what you
’
ve
been doing.
”

There
’
s
nothing left to say.

It
’
s
official
…
shit just hit
the fan.

READY FOR THE FINAL BOOK?

BAD LOVE

Jade:

We
are so busted.

And
now to make matters worse
…
Hunter is pushing our relationship forward. There is no relationship though. My
heart belongs to Jake.

And
if that wasn
’
t
enough, there
’
s
something bad happening between my father and Jake
’
s mother.

Everything
around me is falling apart.

I
need Jake more than ever.

Jake:

There
’
s no more deals. I
’
m going for what I want. No
matter what is does. No matter the pain and embarrassment it causes.

It
’
s time I chase what my heart
wants.

Before
that
…
I have to help
my mother. She
’
s not
the greatest mother in the world, but she doesn
’
t deserve what
’
s
happening. But to save my mother, I might have to give up what I truly love.

I
need Jade more than ever.
