Page 18 of Love’s Patient Journey (The Relinquished #2)

“You are amazing, baby.” He couldn’t stand not being inside of her a second longer, and with one swift thrust, he was balls deep inside her drenched pussy.

They moaned in unison and began to move together.

He needed to tell her everything, how much he loved her, needed her, wanted her, but all he could do was think about how good it felt to be inside her.

He rolled them over, putting Jenna on top.

She smiled down at him and sat up to ride him.

He loved her on top; she seemed to like having a little control.

Hell, if she knew the truth, that she had all the control when it came to him, he’d never hear the end of it.

He liked pretending that he had all the power, but she truly did.

She was his everything. He wanted to give her everything, and that scared the fuck out of him.

Jenna picked up the pace as he started kissing and licking her breasts, so beautiful. She looked like a goddess, taking her pleasure from him, giving him everything. “Jenna, I’m not going to last much longer,” he rasped out.

“Good,” her breathy laugh sent him over the edge, but he didn’t want to go alone. He reached his hand between their bodies and stroked her clit. She stopped smiling down at him, and he could tell that she was close. Jenna threw her head back and rode his cock and fingers.

“Baby, I want us to go together. Now Jenna, come for me.” They both rode out their orgasms, her name like a prayer on his lips. Jenna collapsed on top of him, and they lay entangled on the couch.

Ryan stroked her back, “I love you, Jenna.” She froze, going completely still in his arms. He wondered if she would ever say those words back to him.

He could see the love in her eyes. He sometimes thought that she was on the verge of telling him how she felt, but he didn’t want to rush her.

He wanted her to want to say those words to him.

He needed her to realize how she felt, even if he had known for a while now that she was in love with him.

“Ryan, I—” They both froze at the sound of the doorbell. Ryan started to lift Jenna off him, groaning at the interruption.

“This better be fucking important!” He shouted at the door, wanting whomever it was to know that they were interrupting.

Jenna gasped and swatted Ryan’s arm. She, too, was finding her clothes and letting her eyes adjust to the light after taking off her blindfold.

She looked adorable, stumbling around the family room, trying to find her jeans.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her long and hard.

“Ryan, the door.” She was panting for air, and he couldn’t help laughing.

“Honey, the fucking door can wait.” He bent down and practically threw her over his shoulder, in a fireman’s hold. Jenna squealed and tried to protest, but Ryan just swatted her ass and kept walking with her past the front door and up her steps.

“Ryan,” Jenna protested, “Someone is at the door.”

Ryan laughed, “Baby, I don’t care if the Pope and the president are both standing there waiting for us, we aren’t finished what you started.

” He sat her down on the bathroom vanity and started the shower.

“I’m curious to see what else you have planned for me.

I think we could come up with some more ideas.

” He stripped back out of his jeans, and his cock sprang free, hard and ready for more attention.

He stroked his shaft, throwing his head back.

She watched him like she couldn’t get enough.

Jenna’s lips parted on a moan, and she quickly hopped off the counter to strip away her bra and panties.

He pulled her into his body, careful to keep his persistent boner between them.

He took her mouth, moving backward with her into the spray of the hot water.

Turning her in his hold, he let her head fall back to get wet and then began to shampoo her hair.

She seemed to love it when he washed her hair and body after sex.

He loved that she let him take care of her.

Showering together had become part of their day.

It’s how they started most of their mornings together, while Zac still slept, and how they ended some late evenings after making love.

It was still a little strange to him how something as basic as showering had become so intimate.

Jenna rested her head back against his chest while he soaped up the front of her body.

She giggled about him spending a good amount of time on her breasts.

He loved her breathy gasps while he cleaned her pussy, dipping his finger into her folds.

He liked getting her worked up and making her wait.

Jenna didn’t seem to like his game. She turned in his arms and began kissing him, trying to get him to speed up his ministrations to her very aroused body.

Jenna kissed down his body, soaping him up as she went.

When she got to his cock, she knelt before him, water spraying all over her sexy body.

She soaped his protruding cock, her hands feeling like velvet.

He knew that his little minx was trying to show him just how much fun his game was when she pulled away and let the warm spray of water wash away all the soap from his body.

She didn’t stand, watching as the soap ran down his long, heavy shaft to the shower floor.

His cock jerked to attention when she licked her lips and gently kissed the head. He threw his head back and moaned as she wrapped her sexy, plump lips completely around his dick, taking him into her mouth. She pumped him and stroked him, and he knew that he was not going to last long.

“Honey,” his voice was hoarse with passion and need, “I’m going to come in your mouth if you don’t stop.

” He reached down to lift her, and she moaned her protest around his cock, sending new waves of pleasure through his body.

He couldn’t stop jetting his semen into her hot mouth, pumping her full of his seed. God, she was hot and his, all his.

Jenna knew that their afternoon of hot sex was going to have to come to an end soon.

Zac would be home in another hour for bath and bedtime.

She loved that her mom took him, no questions asked.

Of course, her mother gave her a little wink on her way out and told her to have fun.

Jenna knew her mom was happy that she and Ryan were together, but she also worried that her mother thought she was going to make another mistake, like with Jake.

Honestly, her past mistakes were keeping her from moving forward with Ryan.

For hours, they made love, choosing different rooms in the house.

He bent her over the kitchen table, fucking her from behind, marking her ass with his tight grip.

And she loved every minute. Being with Ryan felt right, but there were still the little voices in her head telling her to be careful.

She knew that Ryan was nothing like Jake, but her need and want for him scared the crap out of her.

She was afraid of losing herself in their relationship, and for Zac’s sake, she couldn’t do that.

Ryan had gone to the kitchen to find them something to eat before her busy toddler returned home. He came back to the bedroom looking pissed and a little off kilter.

“What’s wrong?” Jenna jumped out of bed, still naked.

Ryan handed her an envelope. “I think this is what was being delivered while we were in the family room earlier.” His expression told her that she shouldn’t even open the envelope, but her curiosity won.

She noticed the legal stationery from the Ashbrooks’ attorney. She had already gotten so many letters from them that she recognized the name of the attorney that they were using.

“What is it?” Judging from his sour expression, Ryan had probably guessed who it was from.

“It’s from the Ashbrooks’ lawyer.” She quickly read it over but couldn’t understand what the letter meant.

“It says that my latest stunt to get their son to give up his rights of paternity was all for naught. That my documents that Jake signed will never hold up in a court of law.” She looked at Ryan, and he froze.

He even seemed to look a little sheepish.

“Ryan, what does this mean? I didn’t have Jake sign any papers.” She felt even more confused as Ryan sighed, sinking to the bed, pulling her down to sit beside him.

“Honey, I need to tell you where I went this morning.” He looked at her sideways to make sure he had her attention but didn’t look her in the eyes. “I went to the prison to see Jake this morning. That’s why I had to leave so early, and I couldn’t take Zac to school.”

Jenna could feel her heart racing and her blood heating.

How could he sneak off to see her ex-husband?

Did Ryan go against her wishes to take control of her life without her knowing?

She could immediately feel her walls going up and moved out of Ryan’s reach.

She stood on the other side of her bedroom, pacing, waiting for him to finish his story.

“Jenna, baby, please come back and sit down.” He started to walk to her, but the step back that she took made him stop. He looked so sad and alone, just like she felt. She wanted to scream, but she couldn’t do anything but pace and cry.

“Okay, I get it, you’re mad. Well, how do you think I feel every time one of these God damn letters show up at your door?

I couldn’t just sit by and do nothing. You and Zac are mine, and I damn well protect what is mine.

He can never hurt us again. I got him to sign off on his paternity rights to Zac.

I got him to legally sign those fucking papers.

The Ashbrook’s are bluffing. They were witnessed and notarized.

They are scared, and they are bluffing.” Now, Ryan was pacing in front of her, running his fingers through his unruly hair.
