Finding Love: Incident at the Candy Apple (At the Candy Apple Series Book 2) (6 page)

Chapter Eleven

Once Ellie had come to terms with her freedom from Tyler’s pursuit, she’d set her life in order and it was then the longing to see Jake started. She recalled their time in the private room. She longed for Jake’s mouth on hers and his hard body under fingertips. She masturbated to the memory of his cock in her pussy as she’d rode him.

Now, he stood before her in his kitchen politely offering her a drink, even though they’d just had coffee. The look on his face was pure desire. The way his gaze traveled over her face and body betrayed him.

She pulled off her jacket and dropped it to the floor. “Nothing for me, thanks.”

He moved toward her. “Nothing?” His husky voice and darkened eyes enticed her.

Ellie leapt into his arms and met his kiss. He kissed her hungrily, crushing her to his body, and she brought her legs up around his thighs as he lifted her. She groaned into his mouth as he pressed her to his hips, his hands grasping her ass cheeks. “Jake, Jake…” She whispered. “I want you so much.” Her pussy contacted the hard column of his erect cock and even through her jeans and his pants it felt like heaven. She kissed him hard, grabbing handfuls of his hair to keep his head against hers. Desire burned through her.

He pushed his tongue against hers. He tasted delicious like coffee and passion. She soaked up the sensation as he rammed her against the kitchen wall, and thrust his hips so that his cock rubbed between her open legs. She kissed along his jaw and grazed his mouth with hers in a tease. It made tingles run down her neck to her breasts and her nipples hardened. She moaned and hugged his head, her arms locked around his neck. “Fuck me…” She breathed it into his ear.

His groan set her cunt pulsing. Her clit was huge and throbbing against her panties pushed into her slit by Jake’s thrusting.

Jake carried her to his bedroom and lowered her to the bed.

She kicked off her shoes as Jake leaned over her. His gaze locked with hers as he unzipped her jeans and peeled them off. The way he looked right at her pussy as he grabbed her panties and dragged them down sent a rush of wet heat there. She yearned for him.

He pulled her legs apart and kissed all the way up her inner thighs. He stopped at her pussy and stroked his tongue along her stomach. The tease drove her crazy. She clawed at her top trying to pull it off. The need to be naked against his body made her groan as she struggled with the top.

Jake drew away and helped her. He dropped the tank top to the bed and kissed her tenderly.

Ellie’s stomach tightened and wetness slipped from her pussy onto the top of her thighs.

Jake lifted her and rolled her over. His hands swept over her back and her ass.

Ellie moaned into the quilt against her face at the sexy barely there touch of his palms.

He unclipped her bra and pushed the straps down her arms. He sucked at her neck and his fingers traveled down the crack of her ass to stroke at her wet folds from behind.

She needed his fingers inside her. Desperation made her raise her body and shrug off the bra. She half turned to him and he captured her mouth in a wet kiss that spiked tingles to her peaked nipples. The avalanche of sensation as he slid a finger into her pussy and his tongue pushed onto hers made her legs feel like jello. She was on her hands and knees, with her face turned to him for kisses, being finger fucked. Her mind empty of anything but the need to come, she bucked her hips backward craving orgasm.

Jake slid another finger into her and pumped.

Moans escaped her open mouth and she lost contact with his kiss as she writhed in total pleasure.

He pulled his fingers from her and flipped her over.

She opened her legs wide to have him lie between them.

He shook his head smiling. “I need to undress, babe.”

He stood and pulled off his T-shirt.

Ellie gazed at his sculpted body. He was beautifully built. She longed to run her tongue up and down his chest and follow the thin line of dark hair that ran down into his low riding jeans. She promised herself she’d do that soon.

He opened his zipper and took off his pants.

Ellie sighed over the shape of his hard cock in his clinging black boxers.

He pulled them down and his cock sprang free. A thick, long, column that she remembered from their time at Candy Apple and a shock of sexual need throbbed in her pussy.

His eyes were dark. His expression dangerous. He lay over her and trailed the head of his cock up and down her stomach. “Your skin is so soft. You’re so beautiful.”

Ellie grabbed at his cock. The delicious shape that met her fingertips made her moan. She traced a finger over the slit of the helmet head and discovered a pearl of pre cum to spread around there. It felt so sexy and such a turn on, she traced it up and down the hard column.

Jake bent and kissed her mouth hungrily as she grasped his cock.

She sucked at his bottom lip. The kiss was addictive and she moaned for more.

He lingered kissing her over and over. He broke away with a smile to breathe.

She whispered. “Let me taste your cock just for a moment and then fuck me. I need it so badly.”

Jake snatched back another kiss. He thrust his cock into her palm. His answer husky against her mouth, “You’re so sexy, baby, so sweet, so soft…” He ran his hands over her hips and then he knelt.

Ellie struggled to kneel too, and he helped her as they smiled at each other, their expressions sex-sleepy, and their eyes lust-laden.

She bent and held his cock to suck at it. The masculine taste of him filled her head. She lapped at his cock and balls. She sheathed the hard column in her hands and pumped. Pre cum glistened again on the head and she licked it up savoring it.

Jake held her shoulders gently. He pulled her away from his cock. “Sweetheart, if I don’t fuck you soon, I lose it and come all over you.”

She raised her head kissing up his stomach to his chest enjoying his muscles under her lips.

Jake took her face in his hands. He kissed her lips in a soft merge that felt so tender Ellie’s heart and stomach flipped at the same time.

Jake moved and reached to the drawer of the bedside table. He brought out a foil pack.

“Better protect you, babe.” He tore it open, flicked the empty pack onto the table, and then expertly rolled the condom on. He smiled at her. “You can do it next time.”

He must have read her mind. She could barely keep from grabbing at his cock again.

He moved his body over hers. The head of his cock bumped against her entrance.

Ellie moaned as wet heat rushed there.

He kissed her mouth softly as he thrust in.

The slow filling of her pussy as he inched in was so delicious Ellie groaned uncontrollably. She grasped his shoulders and held him as he stroked in and out a few times. The hard base of his cock rubbed on her swollen clit and his balls hit between her legs.

Jake still kissed her, his mouth a soft touch against her open lips as she moaned with pleasure. Ellie sighed as he broke the kiss and licked along her neck to her breasts. He sucked each nipple one after the other and ground his cock on her clit. So melted by the delicious feel of his cock in her pussy and his mouth on her breasts, Ellie held him, and love seeded in her heart. His masculinity blanketed her and a feeling of belonging to him and with him flowed over her.

He left her nipples and kissed back to her mouth. He whispered against her lips, “Fucking hell … this is intense.” He held her then, his muscled arms on either side of her body, pressing sexily against her breasts, and pounded his cock in her.

Ellie met his thrusts, raising her hips to him in response. Her orgasm tantalized her, and she balanced there, needing it to burst through her. She groaned in desperation.

Jake pushed his hand between their bodies and found her clit with a fingertip. He bent so that his cock slid into her and his fingers pinched gently at her clit.

She gasped and pushed her body up to his touch and his cock. Suddenly her orgasm waved over her in a storm of delicious sensation from her clit, up into her pussy and down her ass. She milked it for as much as she could never wanting the orgasm to end as Jake slowly thrust in her prolonging the feeling. Every single nerve in her body zinged with a sexual pleasure, so meltingly gorgeous, she opened her mouth to moan, but only a sighed, “Ahhh,” came out.

As her hips stilled, Jake kissed her. He murmured onto her lips. “That felt good?”

She whispered, “It was …
so
very good.”

He lifted her hips and rammed his cock into her then, until he buried his face in the soft part of her shoulder and he groaned as his hips jerked.

Ellie grabbed his ass and pulled him in. She felt his cock throbbing as he pushed high up into her and a smile spread over her face. It was so sexy to feel him come.

He stilled and nuzzled her shoulder with his open mouth.

Ellie held his ass. He lay still between her thighs and their stomachs touched. She stroked up his hips and the sides of his body to hold his head. She closed her eyes, and soaked up the pleasure of being close to Jake.

He stirred after a few moments. “I should take this off.” He slid his cock out of her pussy and knelt.

Ellie groaned. “I want you back inside me.”

Jake grinned at her. “In a little while, Ellie, you can have it all again.”

He got off the bed.

Ellie watched his gorgeous hard ass as he went through a door that obviously led to his bathroom. She stretched her arms up above her head and her legs straight along the bed, luxuriating in the sleepy, satisfied, after-sex languor that poured over her.

Jake came back to her and lay beside her. He ran a finger down her cheek and kissed her lips. “I’m so glad I found you again.”

Ellie nestled against his chest and closed her eyes. “Me, too, but how did you, Jake?” She relaxed in the comfort of his arms and her thoughts drifted.

Chapter Twelve

Jake left the question hanging between them as he listened to her breathe. She’d fallen asleep. He held her gently. He closed his eyes and worried about the answer.
How can I say I was so obsessed with finding her I fucked Paula to get the cell number? I can’t, it sounds as if I did something bad. Did I? I don’t honestly know. No, I don’t think so.

He told himself that and yet as Jake lay there waiting for Ellie to wake he couldn’t help but wonder how she’d see it if she found out.

She only slept for a short time. She snuggled against him and kissed under his jaw.

He opened his eyes.

Ellie shifted to lie over him and kissed his lips. “I’m so hungry. I didn’t get breakfast and dinner last night was a couple of breadsticks. Let’s go out to eat, that is, unless you have somewhere to be, or plans. Sorry I didn’t think…”

Jake raised his head and kissed her. He ran his hands down the satiny skin of her back to her ass and squeezed. “I’m all yours. We can go out or eat here. I make a great steak. I have just one question—why only a couple of breadsticks?”

Ellie smiled and ran her fingers into his hair. “It was all I had in the house. I worked late. I was tired. I had hot chocolate and the remains of a packet of breadsticks. It wasn’t too bad but now I’m hungry.” She kissed him.

Jake took her kisses, savoring the softness of her lips, the way her nose smudged on his cheek, the way her fingers slipped along in his hair. He sighed as she drew away. “I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of your kisses.”

She clambered off his body and he instantly felt the loss. He swung his legs off the bed and grabbed her around the waist as she looked around for her clothes. He pulled her down onto his knee. The way she fit perfectly on his lap made him smile.

She lifted her arms and put them around his head.

He kissed along her neck and whispered in her ear. “When we’ve eaten I want you on my knee again, naked, naturally.”

Ellie laughed. “I’d like that.”

He stood her up. “Where do you want to eat, here or out?”

She pulled on her panties and put on her bra. As she reached around to clip it up, Jake went to her and fastened it.

Her skin under his fingertips gave him a little jolt of desire and he lifted her hair to kiss the nape of her neck. He moved away, knowing that if he didn’t, he’d have a hard on in no time. He dragged on boxers and a T-shirt. He turned to watch her zipping her skinny jeans, her breasts pushed together as she bent slightly. She looked at him as she straightened, and in that look he saw love. He savored it, took it into his heart to see how it felt to have her love him, and he smiled. It felt right. It felt special. He broke their locked gaze to find his jeans and pull them on. He went to her as she finished putting on her tank top and took her in his arms. He couldn’t speak but he hugged her. When he let her go, she slid her hand along his face.

“Let’s go out. There’s a nice place opposite the park. They do steaks, and that way I can talk to you, sit next to you, and hold your hand.”

Jake grinned at her. “Sure, thing.”

He slipped his arm around her shoulders to walk to the restaurant. She fit just right and Jake took a deep breath. This had all started with Ellie and the incident at the Candy Apple
.
He hadn’t expected to fall in love but he knew he had. He wanted Ellie to know it, too.
I’ll tell her soon.

The sun had broken through the clouds and the spring breeze had chased them away. Huge patches of bright blue sky showed between the few white wisps that remained. The restaurant had outdoor tables and they took seats at one. There were large planters of pink petunias along the boundaries of the restaurant’s piece of sidewalk. With the sun on his back and Ellie sitting by his side, Jake thought summer might have arrived.

They’d ordered and waited with a beer for their steaks and salads.

Jake took Ellie’s hand in his. “Ellie, you know there’ve been women in my past. I want that behind me now. I don’t think I could be with anyone but you now. I never expected this, but right from the start when we met at the Candy Apple I felt … well, I felt something more for you.”

“I feel it, too. I wouldn’t have just spent a couple of hours in your bed if not. I really did intend going to the Candy Apple to find you next weekend, now I’m settled again.”

She traced her fingertip around his palm and along each finger as she spoke.

Streaks of pleasure ran up his wrist and he nudged her face with his to kiss her mouth.

“Can you ignore the fact that I had a few women before today?”

She gazed into his eyes. “Yes, of course. How can it matter what happened before we met each other?”

It wasn’t exactly the same concept and Jake knew it, but he let it mean what he wanted it to and kissed her softly. “I might be falling in love with you.”

Ellie laughed. “Might be? Is that a way of saving face if I don’t feel the same way about you?”

A sliver of worry wormed into his happiness. “No. I’m just scared of frightening you off, since you had an obsessive boyfriend before, and we’ve not know each other long.”

She brought his hand to her lips and kissed his fingertips. “He was abusive. You are
very
different. He’s part of a past I’d like to leave behind. I might be falling in love with you, too.”

Jake grinned happily. “Love at first sight, well just about.” He saw her consider that for a moment.

“It does exist. I’ve been watching a TV show where this guy gets to choose his future wife from lots of girls and you know what, he knew right from the start he wanted the one he ended up choosing because he loved her.”

Jake smiled at her sincerity. He couldn’t deny having wanted her from the moment he saw her sitting alone at a table in the Candy Apple
.
Normally it wouldn’t have taken him so long to approach a woman he found sexy, but he’d waited weeks. He knew now that was because he wanted her in an entirely different way from usual.

“I’d like that—for you to love me.” He laid it out for her.

She let go of his hand and held his face to kiss him. She didn’t say it, but he felt it in her tender kiss.

They ate and talked.

Ellie told him where she’d taken an apartment and he knew the building. She told him about her new job.

Jake stored away the sound of her voice and the sight of her smiles. He’d never felt like this about a woman, and it took his breath away as she captured his hand in hers, and leaned to whisper in his ear.

“Let’s go home to bed.”
