Hot SEAL, April's Fool by Becca Jameson (smart books to read .txt) 📗

They engaged in this awkward striptease until they were both naked. Finally, he had her in his arms, holding her tight against him, rocking them back and forth, needing the contact, the feel of her breasts against his chest, the beat of her heart, the breathy sounds coming from her lips.

He cupped her face again and searched her gaze. “I need you.”

“I need you too.”

He backed her up until they fell tumbling onto the bed. Her body was still bouncing as he came over her, propping himself on one elbow while his other hand slid to her breast. Urgency had driven him to this moment, but now he wanted to slow down.

Thumbing her nipple, he watched her expression as her mouth fell open and she arched into his touch. He waited until she was squirming restlessly, her fingers digging into his biceps, to smooth his hand down her body and between her legs.

As he slid one finger between her folds, he lowered his lips to hers. “You’re so wet.”

“Mmm,” was all she managed in response.

Cole pushed a finger slowly into her, his thumb finding her clit.

April gasped. “Please…”

His cock was harder than ever, but he wanted to watch her come before he entered her, so he ignored the way she tugged on him and focused on driving her higher and higher.

When she dug her heels into the mattress and lifted her hips off the bed, he rubbed her clit faster.

“Cole…”

“Ladybug…”

Her breath hitched and she stiffened, her nails digging into his skin. He didn’t care. Watching her shatter was all he wanted. As she started pulsing around his fingers, panting and moaning with every quiver, he knew he wanted to be the one to bring her to this pinnacle for the rest of her life. He would find a way to make sure that happened, even if he had to grovel and beg. No way was he returning to San Diego without her tomorrow.

Her hands slid up into his hair as the waves of her release eased. “What are you waiting for?” she asked, bucking her hips upward to rub against his cock.

“Just savoring the moment,” he whispered.

“Savor it after you get inside me.”

He chuckled. “So impatient.”

“Yes.” She squirmed. “Cole…” Her voice switched to pleading.

He loved how much she wanted him to fill her after her orgasm, and he couldn’t deny her or himself for another moment. The second he thrust in all the way to the hilt, she gasped and her eyes rolled back.

Yes. He loved watching her fall apart in his arms. So gorgeous. It made his cock even harder inside her, and he’d put off this moment for so long that he wasn’t going to last. He needed to come.

He gritted his teeth as he thrust in and out of her several times, trying to give her the deep thrusting she craved while keeping a pace that wouldn’t send him over the edge too fast.

It wasn’t possible though. He would have to make things last longer on the next pass. There was no hope for this round. All he could do was tip his head back and groan as he came, every pulse of his cock seeming to punctuate his claim on her. If he could just stay inside her forever, then she’d never be able to get away from him.

He was panting as he stopped moving, his cock still hard and surrounded by her warmth. He cupped her face and held her gaze, needing something from her.

“Please come back to San Diego with me, ladybug.” He didn’t care that he was begging. He didn’t care about anything as long as she was his.

She’d always been his. And he’d been hers. Nothing had changed except the passage of time. He wasn’t willing to let another minute go by without her.

She cupped his face. “I can’t leave here with you tomorrow, Cole. I need time to wrap things up here.”

He swallowed. “Let’s make it happen. I’ll help.”

She smiled sweetly. “It’s too rushed.”

His heart squeezed, though he didn’t know why he was being so irrational. She could come in a week or whenever she settled her affairs. But he didn’t like it. A part of him feared she would slip through his fingers if he left her behind. It scared the hell out of him.

“Cole. It’s okay. I promise. I need to pack up this apartment, break my lease, find other people to take my current clients. I need a few days.”

He inhaled slowly. There was no way he could stay in town. He had to get back to base. He had twenty-four hours left with her before he got on a plane.

She chewed on her bottom lip a moment. “And Cole, what am I going to do there?”

He held her tighter and smiled. “Anything you want, ladybug. Take some time to figure it out. Go back to school if you want. Meet new friends. Join some clubs. Or…” He grinned wider, “…you could just meet me at the door when I get home naked so we can make up for lost time.”

She rolled her eyes. “I think you left out barefoot and pregnant.”

He shrugged, not at all opposed to the idea. “I mean, maybe not this week, but someday, maybe…perhaps?”

She stared at him, but she wasn’t upset. She looked…happy. Her cheeks were pink as she whispered. “Okay. I like that idea.”

His heart beat faster. Thank. You. God. Unfortunately, he still needed to wrap up some loose ends here in town. He couldn’t spend the entire afternoon in bed with her where he’d rather be.

Chapter 18

The air between them was somber as they showered together and then while they quietly dressed. April kept glancing at Cole, but he seemed to be inside himself. Worry lines stretched from his eyes.

“I need to deal with a few things at the shop and then stop by my dad’s house and touch base with my stepmother,” he grumbled.

“I’ll go with you.”

He finished pulling on jeans and then hauled her into his
