His body moved just where I needed before I even knew that I needed it. I cried out as my orgasm hit fast and sudden.

I knew what this was all about and that Jake was losing patience with me. In this way I’d let go, get wild, and come hard every time. I had no choice.

And, call me crazy, I liked that.

You’re crazy, perv.

“My sweets, so fuckin’ perfect,” Jake whispered in my ear, his lips skimming my neck as his thrusts slowed.

A moan of protest escaped me as he pulled out and sat back.

Grabbing the sides of my panties, his eyes followed the progress as he slid them down my legs and tossed them over his head to land wherever. “On your hands and knees.”

When I moved, Jake positioned himself behind me, his hands tenderly running down my sides before he gripped my hips. In one powerful motion, he entered me, lifting me off my knees. “You drive me crazy, Piper. So. Fuckin’. Crazy,” he grunted, his thrusts a staccato as he punctuated the words. He settled into an intense, continuous rhythm, building the tension in me. “Work your clit. Now.”

“I can’t. Too much,” I panted. I could feel him so deep, filling me so full, and I knew I couldn’t handle anymore.

I jumped when his hand came down on my ass, warmth radiating from where it landed, and my fingers went instantly to my clit. Not because he’d told me to, but because now Ihadto come again.

His hand rubbed gently over my ass, continuing slowly up my spine and into my hair. He fisted it and turned my head to the side using just the right amount of pull.

Just the right amount of everything.

“I wanna see you. I love watchin’ your face,” Jake groaned as his speed increased.

His words and the way he looked down at me were enough to send me over the edge. My pussy gripped and released him, greedy as always, as I came.

“Mine.” His voice was thick as he found his release.

Using his weight, Jake pushed me down on my belly and pinned me with his body, keeping us connected through the movement. The scruff on his jaw tickled as he nuzzled his face into my neck.

“Stay with me tonight,” he whispered, a shiver running through me as his lips grazed my skin.

“Okay,” I agreed as if he’d given me a choice.

Jake moved to the side to grab the blanket, pulling it over us before stretching out next to me. He held me close, warming me in a way that no blanket ever could.

I started to doze off when he murmured, “You’re gonna give me what I want. And soon. Now sleep.”

“Okay,” I agreed, though in my mind it was only to the sleep part.

Jake’s low chuckle traveled through me as he pressed a kiss behind my ear. “Smartass.”

He so knows me.

“Takes one to know one,” I whispered back before falling asleep.

*******

In the two and a half weeks since we’d gotten together, things with Jake had been going well. I’d expected there to be a steep learning curve on both of our parts, but our limited time together was awesome. Better than awesome, really.

Almost… perfect.

Even though I’d never been happier, I still hadn’t fully let myself go. I should’ve known, like most everything else, that wouldn’t slip by Jake.

Everything had come to a head when I’d stopped at the shop earlier that day to drop off cookies. I’d been in the break room talking to Key when Jake had come in.

“Hey, I was just about to call you. Got a minute?” Jake asked.
