Jacob(19)

He grabbed her and her body folded in half, the palms of her hands planted on the ground while her legs remained perfectly straight.

Jacob froze. “Baby, did I break you?”

Tori looked up at him and smiled wickedly. “No silly, I happen to be exceptionally limber.” She slowly walked her legs out to the side and then slid into a complete split.

“Holy Mother of God, Victoria. Are you shitting me?” Tori licked her lips and pressed her chest to the floor while maintaining the split.

She turned her head towards him. “Wow, a good stretch is just what I needed after a day in the saddle.

Jacob moved around and crouched down in front of her. That sealed the deal. This woman, his woman, was not just his version of a wet dream, that move right there made her every man’s wet dream. And that fact sent a wave of possessiveness straight through him. “Honey, you just upped my expectations for our variety of sexual positions ten-fold.” He got on his knees as she lifted up. With her legs still in a straddle, she grabbed his neck as he crawled over her on his hands and knees putting her on her back under him. Jacob lowered himself on top of her and stared. “Woman, you have a problem.”

Tori smiled up at him and traced his lips with her fingers. “Yeah, I’m so horny.” Her eyes were watching her fingers not him.

“Victoria, look at me.”

“Huh?” The smiled faded as she looked up. “What’s wrong?”

He lowered his lips brushing against hers softly. “I think I could be falling in love with you.”

Her hand shook against his cheek. Her voice echoed the emotion in his. “Jacob, I think I’ve been in love with you since the night you saved me. Why is that a problem?” Her eyes filled with tears as she waited for his answer.

His body lifted over his as he stared into her eyes. “Tori, you know what I do. My team takes on missions no other teams are asked to take. I can’t stop. Check that—I won’t stop.”

“Jacob, I would never ask you to be anything, but what you are. You make a difference. I wouldn’t ask you to stop for me, and I’ll never put a fence around you. I know who and what you are.”

He lowered his lips to hers. Their passion exploded as his tongue invaded her mouth. His kiss coaxed, demanded and drove them to a deep-seated need they couldn’t deny. Suddenly, Tori pushed him up and away from her. Desire shaded his vision as he gazed down at her. Why the hell had she pushed him away?

“Jacob, get me off this cold floor before I freeze to death.”

He launched to his feet and straddled her as he pulled her up with him. “Anything for you.”

Tori leaned up against him and traced his nipples with her fingertips. His pecs jumped from the contact. He enfolded her in his arms and lifted her up making his way to the edge of the bed where he lay down keeping her on top of him.

Knees on the bed, she straddled him. Her soft lips began on his collar bone and moved down his chest, pausing to lick and tease his nipples with her teeth. His hands fisted the long hair falling down her back and pulled her up to his mouth. Tori ground her cleft onto his stiff shaft.

She pushed up and centered him. Slowly she lowered onto him. Her sweet tightness engulfed him with agonizing heat. She reached the base of him and rocked back and forth. Pleasure pummeled his body. Oh fuck, she was going to shred him in seconds. She gasped loudly and then moaned.

“Shhh.” He lifted his fingertips to her lips pressing against them. “We need to be quiet, baby.” She nodded and took both fingers in her mouth and sucked them deeply as she rode his rock hard cock until her body exploded in strong rhythmic contractions around his shaft.

Oh holy fuck! Jacob used every ounce of determination he had to stave off his orgasm. He wanted her. Wanted her in a way he’d never felt free to take a woman before. The connection he felt with her made the decision easy. He hung on until her climax subsided. Tori lay on top of him, her ragged breath slowly calming.

Jacob wrapped her in his arms and lifted both of them off the bed. “Wrap your legs around my waist like you did this afternoon, baby.” Tori did and smiled as she realized what his intent was. Jacob got up and walked to the nearest wall and leaned her back gently against it. “Tori, relax your legs and come down on me baby.” Her body dropped further onto his cock forcing him into her deeper than she had ever taken him. He froze at her sharp gasp. “Am I hurting you?”

Victoria was honest. “Yes. Yes, but God, please don’t stop. I want…I need you like this.”

Jacob slowly withdrew and hilted in her. Tori’s mouth found his good shoulder and she bit down as he entered. His thrusts became faster and harder. Her whimpers and small cries became desperate. “Do you need me to stop, baby?”

Tori shook her head and whispered against his shoulder, “Oh God, no. Don’t stop, Jacob. Please. Don’t. Stop.”

Those words broke his thinly held control. He pinned her against the wall and pushed into her. The need to mark her, brand her as, his fueled the intensity of his thrusts. He felt her trembling need and heard her muffled cries. He kissed her neck. “Shh, baby, I know. I know.” He covered her mouth with his and lifted her off him repeatedly as he slid into her hot wet core. Her body shook and her legs tightened like iron bands around his waist as she came shuddering on his rigid cock. His mouth still covered hers, stifling her pleading. Jacob fought his own release until she came and as she writhed, he exploded in her, pumping his seed deep.

She clung to him, arms tightly wound around his neck. Jacob lifted her away from the wall walked over to the bed and gently lay down with her and covered them with her sleeping bag.

She didn’t move and her quietness concerned him. “Please tell me you enjoyed that as much as I did?”

He felt her shoulders shake before he heard her throaty chuckle. “Just promise me you can do that when you’re eighty.”

Pulling her on top of him, he nuzzled her neck and buried himself in the fall of her hair. “I didn’t hurt you?”

“A little, but I liked it. A lot.” Her hand stroked his hair. “Why?”

“Tori, I…sometimes, hell, I like, I want, hard sex. I didn’t hold back with you. I’ve never done that before, but tonight I didn’t hold back. I guess I had to make sure you were alright with it. If you didn’t enjoy it, I can be gentler.” He stilled waiting for her response.

Tori placed her hand over his heart and whispered. “That was quite the speech.” He felt her take a deep breath before she continued. “I love you, Jacob. What we just did was beautiful and honest. I wanted you as much as you needed me. And for future reference, never, ever, hold back.”

He pulled her down and kissed her forehead. “Mine. Forever. Understand?”

Tori chuckled. “Jacob was that a proposal?”

He pulled her down enfolding her soft body into his arms protectively. “No. A proposal allows you to say no. You don’t get that option.”

Tori kissed his chest before she laid her head down on his shoulder. “Then it’s settled. I say, yes.”





Chapter Nine


The next morning, Tori stood in the doorway of her sister’s room staring at the scene on the bed. Jacob walked up behind her and stopped dead in his tracks. Doc’s leg and arm draped Keelee, who snuggled against his body. Her mass of blond hair shrouded the pillow around her. Keelee coughed—an intensely congested hack. In his sleep, Doc pulled her closer and she nestled on his arm and shoulder.

Jacob pulled Tori backward and closed the door. Tori walked to the coffee pot shaking her head. “Okay, I really did not see that one coming.”

Jacob shrugged his shoulders, “Nothing happened. He’s still fully clothed and on top of the covers. She must not have been feeling well.”

Tori moved the coffee pot from the propane range where she had brewed it onto the hook over the fire that Jacob had stoked into a flame to keep it warm. “Do we wake them up?”

Jacob reached over and pulled her down on the floor with him and nuzzled her neck. “No, we make breakfast, saddle the horses, and if they aren’t up by then, we wake them.”

Tori pushed Jacob backwards onto the floor and straddled him. “Or….we could go back to bed and let them make breakfast and saddle the horses.”

Jacob laughed as he pulled her down to his lips. “Or there is that option.”

The door to the bedroom he had closed mere minutes ago creaked. Jacob broke the kiss and turned his head towards the noise. He opened an eye glimpsing Doc’s boots. Fuck. He needed to talk to the man about his timing.

Doc picked up a mug. “Really? The floor? Could you at least find a place away from the coffee pot?”

“No, go back to bed.” Tori’s reply sent shivers down his body. Her husky voice floated from his neck where her tongue and lips danced over the skin that encased his pounding heartbeat.

Doc shook his head and grunted his response, “Can’t.”

Tori propped herself up on Jacob’s chest. “While we are on the topic, care to explain…” Tori motioned towards the bedroom, “…that?”

Doc stepped over them and kicked Jacob’s boot moving it away from the corner of the fire by the coffee pot.
