Jacob(24)

“What’s Jason’s expertise? He’s a cop right?” Tori’s voice was husky with exhaustion.

“No, Jason was a fighter pilot. His F-15 had a catastrophic failure during a training sortie. He ejected and fucked up his back.”

“That’s the brother who was addicted to pain killers?” Her fingers stopped tracing his button. Lifting her eyes to his, she waited.

Jacob gave her a sad smile. “Yeah. Once he got clean he took the LSAT and went to law school. He’s a lawyer now. Damn good one. My brother, Jared, is a cop.”

“Is Jason’s back okay? I mean, does it still cause him pain?”

“He doesn’t talk about it. Works out compulsively. Said he swapped one addiction for another. Dude is bigger than I am.”

Tori grinned, “Bigger than you? Not possible.”

Jacob lifted her off his lap and pressed her back into the seat of the couch as he straddled her. “Aw baby, you say the sweetest things.”

Her hand wandered down his chest feeling his muscles ripple as she continued. Palming his massive erection she pushed and squeezed at the same time. His head reared back and a growl of desire came from him.

“I need you. I need you in me, now,” Tori said.

“Oh darlin’, you don’t have to tell me twice.” His lips lowered to hers taking her mouth in a heated assault. Her shirt and bra were off in a matter of seconds and his hands made quick work of her jeans and thong. Standing to strip he looked down at her beautiful flawless body on the dark brown leather couch. So perfect and all his.

Moving her feet, he sat down on the couch and palmed his iron hard cock. “Come here.” Tori lifted obediently and walked on her knees across the couch to him. “Straddle me.” His eyes never wavered from hers as she did what he asked. Jacob held his cock under her and found her hot wet sex. “Clasp your hands behind your back and lower yourself on me, slowly.”

Victoria’s eyelids were heavy and her eyes burned with desire. He could tell she was on board with his commanding her actions. He felt her hot sheath slide down his cock. It was delicious. His eyes held hers as he cupped her ass tenderly. “Don’t move, not an inch. If I want you to move, I’ll move you or tell you.” He pulled her closer and took one tight pink nipple into his mouth. He knew what his sucking, licking, and biting would do to her. The way her body reacted to him was a thrill unlike any other. Her low moan and shudder would be followed by a plea.

“Jacob, please.”

He smiled and captured the other nipple. God he would never tire of her insatiable appetite for him. Her body’s trembling on his cock as he slowly lifted and lowered her was erotic as hell. Finally leaving her breasts, he paused with his lips hovering over her mouth. “Do you need something baby?” His hand circled precariously close to her clit but didn’t touch her swollen bud. She hadn’t released her hands from behind her back. Such an amazing woman.

“You know I do.” Her husky sexy voice rocked him and his body ignited. God no, he wasn’t going to come yet. Jacob captured her lips and used his fingers to launch her instead. He knew exactly when she was about to go over. Her body stiffened, her breath caught, and she gyrated on his cock driving her pubic bone into his. The hot shower of her orgasm pulled him over the edge as he slammed his cock deeply within her and lost himself.

“God, I love you so much.” He knew he sounded like a sap. Crap, he was as breathless as if he had just run a marathon. He felt her curl into him, her head resting in the crook of his neck, his cock still fully buried in her as she straddled his body.

“I love you, too, Jacob. So much it scares me.” Her hand lifted to his cheek. He captured it and kissed her palm.

“Yeah. So big. So real.” He kissed her palm again and held it to his chest.

Tori rocked her hips and smiled. “Nobody bigger.”





Chapter Thirteen


Frank couldn’t believe how fast the month of November flew past. The men had worked hard and trained harder. His ranch had never been in better shape and he wasn’t just talking about what they had done for the buildings and livestock. He sat back and looked down the full table and enjoyed the extended family Jacob’s men had become. The twins were arguing about some minute detail of some detonation switch they were developing. He considered those two the boys he never had, mischievous and fun loving but damn hard workers. And they never shut up unless they were training.

Chief and Betty’s daughter, Desiree, were talking quietly. That man was impossible to read. Had a way of blocking all emotion from his face, except when he looked at Desiree. He watched Keelee and Adam continue to ignore each other. Honestly, he had never seen his daughter act so much like him before. She never engaged anyone in conversation now, kept to herself, and avoided any interaction that wasn’t entirely necessary. Yet she watched every move Doc made when she thought no one was looking. She had assured him Doc was a perfect gentleman while at the line cabin. Frank assumed that little fact could be the reason she was so damn angry with Doc. Strong-willed girls. God had definitely blessed him with two of the strongest willed fillies he’d ever met. Betty never complained about her daughters being so hard headed. He must have hit pay dirt. Lucky him.

Tori and Jacob laughed at some joke between them as Betty opened the kitchen door and caught Chief’s eye. The big man walked into the kitchen and returned with a platter holding the largest Thanksgiving turkey the kitchen had ever produced. Frank waited until Chief and Betty sat down then stood and cleared his throat, pulling all eyes to the head of the table.

“As y’all may have figured out, I’m a man of few words. Well, I’ve saved up some and I’m saying my piece now. This Thanksgiving I’m grateful for the new members of my family. God has blessed me with two beautiful daughters, a wonderful sister-in-law, and three sweet nieces, but now I’m proud to include these five men seated at our table as family. Of course, that comes with the pain of having me as a father-figure.” He scanned the table looking directly at each man and continued. “You can deal with it. It comes with the territory. May God continue to bless each of you and watch over you as the world takes you away from us. You will always have a home here.” He sat down as a reflective silence came over the table. Frank muttered loudly, “Didn’t mean to spoil the holiday, pass the dressing, and carve the damn turkey.”

Drake and Dixon flew into activity. They ladled food onto their plates, passing the dishes as they mounded the holiday feast in front of them. The men made quick work of the seemingly endless supply of food, sending Betty and Desiree into the kitchen for the homemade pumpkin and pecan pies, whip cream, and a large bucket of homemade ice cream.

Jacob looked down the table at the men. “Ten mile run tomorrow morning boys, right after we feed the animals.” Drake and Dixon looked up from their plates in unison and smiled.

Dixon glanced towards Jacob. “Yeah, Skipper in this snow? You think you old men can keep up?”

Jacob smiled and nodded pointing at him with his fork. “If I beat you in, you owe me an additional five hundred push-ups, one hundred pull-ups, and a thousand sit ups.”

Dixon’s eyebrows raised. “And if I win?”

Jacob shrugged. “An all-expense paid night on the town on me when we get back to D.C.”

Drake’s head whipped around looking at his brother. “Shit, man, that’s a freaking deal!”

Dixon looked a Jacob again. “Same bet for Drake?”

Jacob held a bite of pumpkin pie on his fork as he laughed. “Yeah, like I could make a bet with one and not the other.”

The twins smiled and spoke at the same time. “Deal.”

Tori leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Hope you’re ready to pay up Jacob. I had plans to wear you out tonight.”

He turned and kissed her cheek, whispering against her ear. “I was going to give them a night out anyway. They’re young and need to blow off some steam. This way at least, they will work for it.”

She giggled and put her hand on his thigh. She knew he had taken a call before dinner and assumed it meant the team had been recalled. “We’re leaving then?”

Jacob glanced around the table and nodded slightly. His eyes locked with hers as he whispered, “Soon, honey. The men who are working a dangerous situation overseas are good, but they don’t have the same skill sets this team does. I’ve advised them not to attempt the op they’re considering. Knowing those men, they’ll do it anyway. We need to be able to deploy if they get in over their heads. I also briefed Gabriel this morning during our update on my recommendations, and I told him Doc has cleared me for regular operations.”

Tori squeezed his thigh. “Alright, I’m ready whenever you need us to go.” He lowered his lips and kissed her softly.

“Damn, Skipper, at the supper table? Really?” Drake mocked from across the room.

Jacob lifted his head and glared at him. “Shut up man. You have your desert, I have mine.”

Keelee helped Desiree, Betty and Tori clear the table and wash dishes after the men had rolled from the dining room into the great room. Dixon and Drake eventually went to the barn to help Doc with the animals as Jacob, Chief, and Frank went into the den for cognac and cigars.
