The Curve Ball (4 page)

She panted as he slid up her body, kissing her belly and pulling sensually at her nipples as he worked his way up beside her.

He took her mouth when he reached her, sliding his tongue against hers in a hungry embrace. She wrapped her arms around his big, hot body and rubbed her breasts against his naked chest, loving the feel of his skin against hers.

As his mouth left hers to press fervent kisses to the side of her neck she could feel his chest heaving and his body trembling.

"Fuck me, Jake." Her body was still on fire for his possession. She needed him inside of her.

He groaned and moved his body over hers. Her thighs cradled him as he reached for his cock and brought it to her tight, wet entrance. "See how perfectly your body fits mine, Maggie. You feel so soft and beautiful."

He entered her slowly. He was large and she was tight. Her walls stretched to accept his invasion, expanding as his cock opened her. "You're so tight, baby. So very tight, hot and wet." He finally pushed all of the way home and they both groaned together at the sensation of the complete joining.

He shuddered as she lifted her hips and his balls hit her ass. He slid his hands to her hips and started to move.

Maggie cried out as his cock filled her again and again, running over her sweet spot with full, deep thrusts.

Her arms tightened around him as he pounded into her, her fingernails biting into his flesh. She felt passion rising up in waves as Jake took her so thoroughly that she knew she would never be the same.

She surrendered to the power and strength of him and let the pulsation of her climax take her soaring, helpless in the grip of her orgasm.

She milked his cock as she came, gripping and releasing him with her muscles and it send him over the edge. He gasped as he buried himself deep and released his burning fluid deep into her womb.

He kissed her, groaning into her mouth as his body quivered with relief. He collapsed into her, but tried to keep his weight off of her with his arms. She relished his weight and hardness against her even as she struggled for breath.

He pulled his lips from hers and rolled to the side, pulling her hard against him. He buried his face in her hair as he murmured, "Sweetheart, stay with me."

"I can stay tonight," she agreed as she cuddled up next to him.

"I'll settle for that...for now. We'll talk about the rest later," he pulled back, his eyes intense. "I'm not letting you go, Maggie. I've been chasing after you for a year. Now that I have you in my bed...you're staying."

"You're getting awfully, bossy." She tossed her head, her expression sassy, but she laughed softly.

"Damn right. I finally have the woman I want and I'm going to convince her that she's exactly what I want. What I need." He shot her a lopsided grin. "Are you convinced, yet?"

She gave him a sultry smile. "I don't know. I haven't had very good luck with men in the past. I might be a little tough to convince.” She liked the way he worked on it, she mused. Maybe she could just take forever to be convinced.

"You won't need to worry about men anymore. I'll be the only one you need. The past might not have been good, but your future is going to be full of convincing. Probably more than you want," he replied ruefully. "I adore you, Maggie." He kissed her forehead lightly. "To me, you're nothing less than perfect."

Maggie could see it. His eyes were shining with adoration. She still felt like she should pinch herself to make sure it was all real.

“
Shit, Maggie. I got so caught up in you that I forgot about birth control.” Jake looked contrite.

“
I’m on the pill, Jake. I’ve always used it to be regular.”

“
I shouldn’t have been so careless,” he grumbled, more to himself than her. “I got carried away.”

Maggie understood getting carried away. She really hadn’t thought about it either.

He pulled her back against him and they rested that way, content just to be together. Maggie had thought he might have fell asleep when he whispered, “I have a confession to make, Maggie.”

“
What is it?,” she queried in a low voice.

“
What happened tonight wasn’t an exactly an accident.” His voice sounded hesitant and embarrassed.

“
What do you mean?,” she was a little confused. What part of tonight was he talking about?

“
I set it up. The matching tickets. The whole thing with Lisa. I wanted you to give me a chance and I was desperate to get you to take me seriously.” His confession came out in a rush.

Maggie let the information sink into her brain slowly. He had set the whole thing up? Obviously, Lisa was in on it too. Somehow, she just couldn’t generate any anger. Jake had gone to an awful lot of trouble to get a date with her. It was actually pretty…flattering, and almost unbelievable. She had never had a guy want to take her out so badly that he went to that much trouble to make it happen. What man that could have almost any woman he wanted did something like that?

She smiled. Only Jake.

She pulled back to look at his flustered expression. Her heart flip flopped. “You are an amazing man, Jake Rawlins.” Tears flooded her eyes as she smiled.

“
You aren’t mad?”

“
No, Jake. It was a very romantic thing to do. I don’t think anyone has ever gone to that much trouble for me,” she told him shyly.

“
It wasn’t that much trouble, baby. I’d do anything for you,” he answered her, his voice tight with emotion. “Hell…I let you yank my chain for a year. I kept telling myself I needed to give up…but I couldn’t.”

Maggie sighed. “I’m glad you didn’t. I would have missed out on the best thing I’ve ever had.”

“
Baby…you haven’t seen my best.” His mouth curved up and his eyes lit with amusement.

She giggled at his comment, loving his touch of arrogance. “Hmmm…so when do I get to see it?” she murmured.

“
I’m ready to show you right about now, I think,” he answered as he trailed kisses down the side of neck.

And he did.
