Fight Me(68)

At three o’clock, I hear the front door open and close loudly. Hopefully this is just a book drop-off or something that won’t take too long.

When I step out of the small office, Jake is standing at the counter holding a calla lily – my favorite flower. A huge smile spreads across my face at the sight. He remembered my favorite flower? I told him on our first dinner date how my love for calla lilies came from my grandma after I moved in with her. She had a whole garden full of them in the backyard and spend hours trimming and pruning the bushes. So when she passed away, it seemed only fitting to order her favorite flower for her funeral.

“So, I was leaving the bakery just a few minutes ago and noticed the flower delivery truck across the street was unloading these. I figured they wouldn’t miss one, so I grabbed it real quick while they weren’t looking.”

“What?! You did not!” I exclaim, horrified at the thought of a cop stealing a flower from the back of a delivery van.

Jake laughs. “Of course not. I’m a police officer. But, I did see them in the truck and walk inside the floral place to buy it. For you,” he says as he hands it to me over the counter.

The flower instantly goes up to my nose as I inhale this distinct floral scent that you only get from calla lilies. “Thank you. It’s beautiful,” I say with a smile.

“How much longer?”

“I have these couple of books to put away and then I’m done. Computer system is already down for the night,” I say as I grab the small stack of books and head into the rows of books.

I make quick work on putting the books away in their rightful places on the shelves. As I start to slide the last book into place, I feel Jake’s soft lips brush the sweet spot on the back of my neck and feel his hands wrap around my waist.

My head falls forward to allow him access to explore my skin further. His hands instantly drift up my shirt and his fingers fan out over my belly. My eyes flutter closed as I take in his hot breath and warm fingers caressing across my skin.

“Jake, what are you doing?” I whisper.

“I’m hoping to hit a home run in the library, Erin,” he mumbles before his tongue snakes out to lick from my neck to my earlobe.

An uncontrollable shiver rips through my body as his tongue blazes a hot trail on my skin. “We can’t do this here.”

“Oh, but we can. I locked the door before I came back here. The lights are off and no one is around.” Jake’s hands dip down to the front of my dress slacks as he makes quick work of my button and zipper. The pants are sliding down my legs before I even process what’s happening, not that I want to stop him anyway.

“I’ve been daydreaming about you all day, alone in this library, wearing those damn sexy glasses and this proper outfit. It’s time to rip off these clothes and give me another taste of that naughty librarian that I know is hiding underneath.”

His words are like fuel to my fire as my body ignites instantly. I step out of my pants and make quick work on removing my panties. I can hear Jake’s belt buckle and zipper sliding down and know that he’s just as hurried behind me.

Once I’m bare from the waist down, I turn around to face Jake. The wild look in his eyes is a combination of desire and passion. He makes quick work of the buttons on the front of my blouse and dips his mouth inside to taste my exposed breasts.

After feasting on them for a few moments, his hands snake around my rear and he starts to lift me. “Wrap your legs around me, darlin’,” he orders.

“Is that a question or a demand?” I ask breathlessly.

“A demand. Definitely a demand,” he growls back as I wrap my legs around his waist, giving him exactly what he wants because it is, in fact, exactly what I want too. He’s inside me in one quick thrust. Our moans mix together as our lips crash into each other. His pace and his kisses are swift and determined, and all I can do is hang on for dear life and ride out this wild ride.

It doesn’t take long at all before I feel the familiar tightening in my lower stomach that only Jake seems to bring on. My legs tighten around his waist as he continues his rapid tempo, sliding in and out of me with fury. When he dips his head down and takes one of my nipples in his mouth, it’s all over. I feel my core tighten around his shaft as I moan my release. The noises I make and echoes throughout the library only seem to push him over the edge as he slams into me a few more times before stilling while buried deep inside of me.

I have no idea how he can still hold me up. My limbs are numb and weightless. My breathing is labored. My body is completely sated.

Jake leans forward and places gentle, tender kisses along my collar bone as he tries to get control of his own breathing. “That was so damn worth the wait.”
