Tame This (The McCallans, Book Two) (35 page)

She laughed out loud, especially at the salacious smile on his face. But that was the exact reason why she loved him so much. He was extremely protective and oh good lord was he amazing in bed! Just the thought of having him inside her again made for an awkward moment standing there outside a restaurant
as a large family was just unloading from a minivan.

“You look like you’re in pain,” Jay stated. “Are you okay? Is the baby okay? What’s going on? Is something wrong?” He placed a hand on her belly and slid the other behind her neck, looking worried.

Melanie leaned forward and whispered, “Nothing is wrong, I’m just extremely horny right now.”

Jay cocked an eyebrow but seemed incredibly pleased. “Well there’s only one solution for that,” he winked. “Baby, please come home with me. Now. I will beg if I have to, but I know how bad you want me right now. You’re not going to San Diego when you have me and the rest of the family that wants you to stay.” He pressed his lips to her temple and murmured, “And there is nothing in San Diego that can make you
wet like I do.”

She bit back a smile as she wrapped her arms around him. “That’s true,” she agreed.

“So you’re going to get in your car, drive to my house, and get naked in my bed. After that, depending on our level of exhaustion, we’ll move your things in. Sound like a plan?”

There was no need for more words. Melanie kissed him
so thoroughly she loved the loopy and disheveled look on his face when she pulled away. As she got into her car, Jay pointed to the very obvious hard-on that she’d left him with, and she laughed as she drove out of the parking lot.

He
was literally on her heels when she walked through the front door of his house. Thank God Tyse was not home because Jay had his tongue down her throat the second the door shut behind them, and even though she was probably more awkward to handle from pregnancy, he managed
just
fine.

More than just fine.
He had her on his bed, kissing the living hell out of her while his hands roamed her body for every inch he could touch. He stripped her sundress off and kissed her neck, down her collarbone and to her stomach. He kissed her so tenderly there that it made her heart swell in her chest. And Jay made eye contact while doing it. She was allowed to see deep into his soul as he silently assured her that he loved and adored every inch of her.

She could feel it without a doubt.

As Jay slid his fingers into her panties to take them off, his sexy and facetious side returned. That smile of his… Oh my, it not only made her even wetter, but her heart would not stop pounding. The intensity of his eyes held the confidence and authority that made him effective in anything he chose to do, and right now he wanted to be here with her and she was willing to give him whatever he wanted.

“You’d better strip those clothes off for me,” she said, practically breathless because he was already kissing up her thigh.

“You just relax and let me take care of this, baby doll,” he answered with an amused smile. “I’ve got some making up to do.”

“Oh?”

“Mmhmm.”

“Well I would enjoy it better if— Oh God,” she moaned as his lips and tongue worked over her center. That pleasure point he knew how to hit shot a pulse through her instantly, and he continued to do it until she almost couldn’t stand it anymore, but she toughed it out until a release came
and it was worth it…oh lord was it worth it!

“You’re so ticklish,” he teased with a smile.

He stood at the edge of the bed and pulled his shirt off. Melanie exhaled a deep breath to prepare herself as his pants dropped to the floor and the sexy smile returned. She sat up and slid to the end of the bed, causing him to lift an eyebrow to question her intentions.

“Just something I’ve wanted to do again for quite a while now,” she told him, grabbing his hips to pull him forward. She slid down his boxer briefs while eye contact remained, and when he ran his fingers through her hair with
that
look
, she slid her lips over his cock and took him deep.

“Holy fucking shit,” he breathed out as she went to work for him. She
loved making those sounds come out of him, and if it hadn’t been for him pulling her into the bathroom a minute later, she wouldn’t have stopped.

He turned on the shower and then sat on the lid of the toilet, pulling
her toward him. He was certainly thinking ahead because it was not only easier to straddle him this way, it was incredibly sexy to kiss him as the bathroom filled with steam instantly.

“I love it when you ride me,” he said. He closed his eyes and leaned back, but opened them to watch her again. “God you are so beautiful. You’ve fucking wrecked me, sweetheart. I am so wrecked and if you ever trade me in for someone better…please kill me first.”

She couldn’t help but laugh, but even though he was giving her a completely drunk and pleasured smile, she knew he was being sincere. It was so different having him open up to her like this, but she was never going to take it for granted.

Melanie leaned forward to kiss him and said, “Well that makes two of us, babe. Because you own my heart and I can’t even imagine my life without you.”

She pressed her hands against his chest and over his shoulders. He was moist from the shower steam, and when Jay moved her to the counter, the mirror was completely fogged up as well. As she leaned back and wrapped her legs around him, he moved her damp hair from her face and neck and kissed her as he slid inside another time.

“Remind me to remodel this bathroom so it’s bigger,” he said against her wet skin.
“ ‘Cause there are a lot more things I want to do to you in here.”

He sucked her lips and tongue before she could respond, and it made her moan when he adjusted his angle to go deeper. Being in a hot steamy bathroom with Jay was so incredibly
hot that it put her into such a blissful state and she barely realized he was moving her to the shower a minute later.

He put her hands against the wall and stood behind her, whispering in her ear, “I will love this body of yours every day I can.”

His lips nibbled on her neck as his hands traveled down her waist and thighs. He reached his hand around the front of her and slid his fingers over her clit, sending a jolt of pleasure through her core. She could feel his erection pressing into her backside, and when she angled her face so she could kiss him, he slid gently inside of her again.

“You…are…so…fucking amazing,” he told her in between deep kisses. With his lips on her mouth, one hand caressing her breasts and the other massaging her very sensitive nub with his fingers, she was over the edge only seconds later
and Jay was right there with her.  She had such a powerful release with him Melanie thought she might pass out. Whether it was the steamy shower, pregnancy, or just Jay’s fine motor skills, the experience was one she would never forget.

He turned her around to face him and she leaned against the wall. Jay’s expression seemed to match how she felt, so maybe it was just the
intensity of their union.

“Holy shit,” he exhaled, leaning his head against the wall next to her.

Melanie wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close against him, hoping he had his bearings better than she did since she was now using him for support.

“I’m kinda dizzy,” she admitted, kissing his shoulder.

He pulled away from the wall and kissed her mouth sweetly. “Me too, but let’s get you in bed just in case.”

She wasn’t going to argue, and once she was cozy in his bed cuddled up against him, the day not only felt complete, but Melanie’s heart seemed to feel whole for once. There was a tiny inkling of fear that Jay would have second thoughts and rethink all of this he had committed to, but it almost killed her to even let that itty bit of doubt creep in. Even though it was a realistic concern, she didn’t wa
nt to think about it right now.

“What are you thinking, beautiful?” his soft, deep voice asked in the dark. He tilted his head to kiss her face and she loved that he gathered her tighter in his arms.

“Nothing except how much I love being here with you,” she answered, running her fingers over his bare stomach.

He
kissed her again and said so quietly she barely heard him, “Yeah, me too.” Then he stretched just slightly and added, “Looks like you tamed this wild dog, gorgeous. Only you, Mel. Only you. And don’t fucking tell anyone.”

She released a light laugh and shook her head as she propped herself up on an elbow beside him. “Jay, let me set your smartass straight…”

She kissed his shoulder and across his chest. When he softly slid his hand behind her neck, she leaned forward and kissed his mouth. His fingers in her hair gave her tingles all over her skin, but her heart was so full it seemed almost unreal.

“I don’t want to tame you,” she said softly against his lips. “I just want to love you with all my heart.”

Chapter Thirty-Three

“So
who does this belong to?” Gage asked, looking over the lyrics in his hand.

“
My girlfriend,” Jay replied.

Gage laughed and shook his head. “Try again, McCallan. You don’t have girlfriends.”

“Yeah, she’s my girl,” Jay answered with a smile. “And if you want to give me shit about that, then you can find someone else to work on your Challenger.”

“Hey, no shit here,” Gage held up his hands. “I’m just trying to wrap my mind around it is all. So anyways,
she writes stuff like this all the time?”

“Well she’s got papers and shi
t all over the place, so yeah, she writes all the time.” He paused and offered a shrug. “So? What do you think?”

“It’s awesome,” Gage nodded. “I mean…it really emits a feeling, you know? It’s true poetry. Does she play, too?”

“Nah, she just likes to write. And she would kill me if she knew I was showing someone,” he added, yanking the page out of Gage’s hand.

He tucked it back in his pocket where it should have stayed. He’d known Gage Thomas most of his life, and now that Gage
was about to help Jay’s grandfather open a recording studio, the discussion of music had easily ensued. Melanie had left the page of lyrics next to the bed and it caught Jay’s attention. He’d accidently walked out of the house with it because he was totally immersed in reading it.

Gage pursed his lips and nodded again
. “Can she sing?”

“She’s
got a great voice. But she keeps it to herself.”

“She won’t sing for people?
Another closet musician?” he smirked knowingly.

Jay ignored the accusation.
“I’ve never heard her sing except when she doesn’t think anyone’s around. Sometimes in the car with me, but no, she’s never mentioned performing any of it.”

“Hmmm. I think you should bring her to me anyways.”

“Bring her to you for what?” Jay chuckled. “All I did was mention she writes music because you mentioned you wanted new songwriters. I wasn’t trying for an angle.”

Gage gave him a knowing look. “Seriously, Jay. Don’t shoot me for saying this, but you’re a McCallan. You can pretty much do whatever you want. And your grandfather is about to open up a new branch of business that she might be interested in. If your girl wants to try working with a producer, then I’m your guy,” he motioned to himself. “Or…your brother, for that matter. He’s going to be my boss, for fuck’s sake.”

Jay laughed and took a drink of his beer. It was mid-afternoon on a Saturday, but instead of Gage meeting him at the shop, they’d met for lunch after he’d put half a morning of work in. Four weeks had passed since he convinced Melanie to stay. She’d moved in with him that very night and Jay hadn’t regretted it for a single second. She was out with Camryn today, but they were all going to meet up with Kyle later to celebrate Beck’s birthday. It wasn’t something Jay was looking forward to, but being with his friends and family was most likely going to get him through it.

And Melanie. He needed her like he needed air to breathe.
The girl could go into labor any second but she insisted on going with him tonight. Jay was very grateful for that.

“Well I’ll mention it to her later,” Jay said as he stood from the bar. “I gotta get going though.”

“It was great to see you again,” Gage stood. “I really hope you come around the studio a lot when it’s done. Bring your girl, too. Seriously. And we should jam together again, for old time’s sake.”

Jay smiled and nodded his head. “Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Catch ya later, man.”

Jay climbed into his newest restored ride, a ’67 Barracuda, and headed for home. By the time he was out of the shower and dressed, Camryn had dropped Melanie off and she was sitting on the bed cross-legged with a frown on her face as she lightly rubbed her stomach.

“What’s wrong, baby?” he asked, coming across the room.

She bit her lip and blew out a breath of air. “I’m losing my mind. I swear I put what I was working on right here by the bed…” She looked toward the bathroom. “Did I take it in there…?”

“Uh, you mean a page of lyrics?” he asked, scratching his head.

“Yeah. I don’t know why I took it out of the notebook, but I did and…”

“Well, sometimes your brain isn’t all there, sweetheart,” he teased, trying not to smile. “I know you try, but it just doesn’t work for you all the time.”

“Shut up,” she lightly laughed, throwing a pillow at him. “You’re so mean.”

“Hey, I’m just being honest,” he shrugged. “You don’t remember things as much as me, like the fact that you promised me a blow job before we go out tonight.”

“I did not!” she threw another pillow at him. “You’re full of shit!”

“I mean I feel bad that you don’t remember the stuff you promise me, it sometimes hurts my feelings, but I understand you try. That’s why I’m here to remind you.”

“So you’re ‘reminding’ me to go down on you right now?” she smirked at him. “Because normally that’s something I would do anyways. When I’m being
manipulated
into it, I’m not so willing.”

He met her challenging gaze and had to smile. She was so damn feisty when she wanted to be and, unfortunately, he was totally turned on right now.

“What if I help you find your lyrics?” he asked. “How grateful would you be?”

“Extremely grateful. Grateful enough to make your dreams come true.
But
later
, Jay. We’re going to be late.”

He just stood there in the middle of the room and pushed out his lower lip.

“Really?” she laughed. “You’re gonna pout?”

“Yes,” he nodded. “All I could think about was you today. I mean I would have gone shopping with you two just to be with you.”

She stared at him for a few seconds and then came across the room. “Aww, that line of bullshit actually kind of worked on me.”

“It’s not bullshit,” he smiled as he took her in his arms and kissed her. He brushed back a strand of hair with his fingers and kissed her again. “I love you.”

“I love you too. So will you please help me find that sheet of paper? I was going to be brave and have Camryn and Kellie read it.” She pulled away from him and headed for the bed again. “Maybe it fell under the bed somehow…”

Jay would have offered to look for her, but it was the perfect opportunity to keep her distracted. After he stared at her ass for a few seconds while she was on her hands and knees, h
e grabbed his pants from the dirty basket of laundry and fished the lyrics out of the pocket. When he turned around, she was just getting up from the floor and eyed the piece of paper in his hand.

“Did you just get that out of your pants?” she narrowed her eyes at him. “My big pregnant ass was down on the floor when you had it all along?”

“Uhh, last time I checked, it’s not your ass that’s pregnant. And I was gonna tell you I had it but you were already on your knees. On your knees for the wrong thing, but whatever,” he murmured playfully.

She laughed and shook her head at him. “All that just to get a blow job?”

“No,” he chuckled. “But it almost worked out that way.”

“Thinks
you
.”

“Ah, I’m pretty sure you’re that sweet and giving.”

She gave him a watchful eye but then chuckled. “I can’t believe you haven’t put me into labor already.”

“Trust me, I’ve tried,” he cocked an eyebrow at her.

Again she laughed, but she held her stomach that time. “Yes, I know you have. Between car rides and—”

“Jay rides,” he interrupted with a wink.

Her mouth was still open, paused in mid-sentence, but then she scoffed with a smile. “Yes, exactly. I can’t believe this kid is still in me,” she shook her head.

“Well I’m all for giving it another try,” he said with a shrug. “This time it’ll work, I’m sure of it.”

“You’ve said that for the past two weeks. And back to my lyrics,” she motioned to the paper in his hand.

“Sorry, I got distracted and walked out with it. You said I could read them so…”

“Oh, yes, of course you can read them,” she smiled, taking it from him. “I just thought I was going crazy.”

“Just crazy for
me
,” he said, pulling her close to him again. Her belly pressed against him and she wrapped his arms around her. He loved the smell of her hair, her body, everything about her…

He massaged the back of her neck and across her shoulders, and when she
tilted her head up to kiss him he said, “How ‘bout you lay on the bed for a few minutes and I’ll give you a massage. Feet? Back? Whatever you want.”

“Oh that sounds so good,” she exhaled.
“But we really should get go—”

He walked her
backward toward the bed until her legs hit the edge and she sat down.

“Wow, smooth move, McCallan,” she said dryly, staring right at the crotch of his jeans.

“That’s not what I had in mind,” he laughed, moving to sit right next to her.

But she grabbed his hips and kept him in place. “Well maybe I do,” she smiled as she unbuttoned him.
“Come here, baby. I really do want you before we go.”

“
You better be ready to be super late, then,” he winked at her as she opened his pants and slid his underwear down. He was already hard, just from thinking about what she was going to do to him.

“I’ll be quick,” was her answer.

“But I’m not gonna leave you in need for me, sweetheart. I’ll take care of you too.”

“It’
s okay, I’m really tired today.”

“Well maybe we should just—
Ooh, mmm
.”

Her warm lips slid over his cock and it was enough to shut him up. It felt incredibly good until something
pinched him and his eyes flew open.

“Did you just bite my dick?” he asked with surprise. It hadn’t exactly hurt but
kinda startled him. But then he noticed the grimace on her face as she held onto her belly. He thought maybe she was messing with him before but now she looked like she was in pain. “Are you okay, Mel?”

She
exhaled a deep breath of air and answered, “Yep, I’m pretty sure I’m in labor because that one hurt even worse.”

Jay had to blink the confusion away and asked, “Hurt worse? Hurt worse than what?”

Melanie took another deep breath and let it out slowly. “Uh, I’ve been having contractions all day. Not really painful just…uncomfortable.”

“And you never said anything? Uh, what the fuck? Shouldn’t you be in the hospital then?”

She stood from the bed. “Yeah, they’re way more painful, and happening way more frequently. I probably should get checked out, I guess.”

“You guess?
”

“Pack it up, sport,” she said, nodding to his cock at half-mast. “Let’s go.”

Shaking his head he answered, “Nah, I’m gonna go to the hospital just like this, so everyone can see what you did to me.”

“Haha,” she smiled at him. “Suit yourself, but can you and Captain Half Boner get in the car to give me a ride?”

He scoffed with amusement and put his pants back on as Melanie walked across the room for the closet. She picked up a bag from the floor and then grabbed a towel from the bathroom.

“What’s the towel for?” he asked, taking the bag from her so she didn’t have to carry it.

“It’s to mop your seat off when my water breaks all over your new upholstery.”

His mouth dropped open. He hoped to God she was just joking. “I’m calling a cab then.”

“Shut up,” she chuckled. “Just help me to the car, please. We can take mine if you want.”

Jay grabbed her bag and said, “This guy does not drive girl cars.”

“Oh my gosh,” Melanie laughed. “You’ve driven it before. When you took it to get new tires a few months ago?”

“And I lost half my manhood. Come on, you’re riding in style and if
you ruin my new seats I’m gonna auction off your clothes to pay for it.”

“
Rude,” she frowned at him.

“Necessary,” he corrected her.

But all joking aside, he was starting to get nervous. She looked extremely uncomfortable as he walked her down the hall, and as he texted Teague that they were heading to the hospital, Melanie sat down on the couch suddenly.  She was pretty much silent as she breathed through another contraction, but Jay didn’t know what to say so he remained silent as well.

“Okay, let’s go,” she said, making an effort to stand.

“Here, lemme help,” Jay offered a hand, but he didn’t notice the damn dog lying next to the couch and he tripped over him, pretty much crashing into the coffee table.

“Tank, what the fuck!” he called out, but Melanie was laughing so hard that it was tough to get upset about it.

“Life moves fast,” she chuckled. “No more drunk-crashing the coffee table, now it’s the family dog’s fault.”
