Here Without You (Red Hook 4)

“No one has ever been here besides Jasmine and Drake,” he told her as she looked around the room with curiosity.

“I love that stone fireplace,” she remarked.

“Jasmine is itching to decorate in here, but Tony refuses to let her. I think he imagines her making it girly.” He laughed.

Holly laughed, too, and looked around the bare room. All they had were a couch, a chair and a TV on the wall. “Jasmine is awesome at was she does.”

He led her down a hallway and to a room in the back. He knew she was feeling nervous, but so was he. He had never allowed a woman into his bedroom here. This was his sanctuary, his private domain, but it felt right to have her here. He wanted her to be a permanent part of his life and this was a start.

He opened his door and led her in. He was glad he had straightened up before he went to work.

“You have a king-size bed.” She grinned, sitting on the edge. She slipped off her shoes and scooted to the middle. “I can get lost in here.”

“Nah, I’d find you,” he assured her. He set her bag down. She was not going to be needing any clothes tonight. He undressed himself and climbed in the middle of the bed with her. She already had that look that let him know she was willing and ready. She looked him up and down, and he felt his cock twitching with anticipation. He wanted her always, but now that he knew exactly what it felt like to be inside of her, he thought of her all the time. If it was up to him, she’d be right here next to him always.

As soon as he got close, her hands went to his chest. She ran her soft hands up and down his chest and he closed his eyes. She put such feeling into the smallest touch. She wasn’t afraid to let him know she wanted him. It made him feel ten feet tall to know he satisfied her as much as she satisfied him.

He pulled her body close to him until they were face-to-face. “You have too many clothes on, doll.”

She smiled and lifted up her shirt, throwing it on the floor. Feeling too impatient to wait for a slow striptease, he reached around her and unhooked her bra. She giggled and lay back on the pillows. He took her pants off, too, leaving her nude. He loved her creamy skin, so soft and silky. She always smelled so good, too. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, and his heart swelled with the knowledge that finally she belonged to him.

He leaned down and took her mouth in a tender kiss. His hands roamed over her body. He loved how she felt so close to him, skin to skin. He felt her legs open up for him and his hands touched her juicy, warm pussy. She was so wet. He continued the kiss and felt her moan with pleasure as he played with her pussy, inserting his fingers in and out of her. He let her lips go and she buried her face in his neck. She was thrashing around the bed and he liked knowing he could drive her crazy with passion. He worked his way down to her breasts and swiped his tongue across the hard tip. She was so responsive to him and he reveled in it.

“Oh, Matt,” she whispered, putting her hands on his hips. “So good. Never like this.”

He looked into her eyes and agreed. “That’s because we love each other, doll. This isn’t just a physical release. This is a way to show our love.”

She nodded and blinke

d back her tears. “I do love you, Matt, so much.”

He placed the tip of his hard cock at her entrance. “Ready for me?”

“Always.” She caressed his face with her fingertips as he entered her. He went in deep and let out a groan.

“It feels so good to be inside of you.”

She tilted her head back in ecstasy as he began to thrust in and out of her. She wrapped her legs around his hips, bringing him in deeper. He went fast and hard, and a feeling of possessiveness ran through him.

“I need you, Holly,” he admitted, burying his face in her neck. He nipped the skin on her collarbone.

“I feel the same way, Matt,” she assured him while counter-thrusting his thrusts. They clung to each other while he increased his rhythm. It wasn’t long before he felt her muscles tightening up and he knew she was about to reach her climax. She bit her lip as if she could prevent the sounds of her pleasure from escaping her lips. She moaned his name. He thrust his hips a few more times, and soon he felt his own climax hit him. It was so powerful, and swept through his body, leaving him feeling weak.

He didn’t want to lean his weight on her, so he lay on the bed and pulled her to his side. She laid her head on his chest and he played with her curls. He fell asleep with good thoughts and he slept through the night.

Chapter 13

Noah was furious the next morning.

“I got a call from the Jordans. Their eighteen-year-old daughter, Diane, went to a party last night. She got hold of some drugs and almost died. If they had not taken her to the ER right away, we could have had another death on our hands. I am sure it was Gerald. She described him, but she didn’t know his name. Her boyfriend knew him and told her it was safe.”

They all shook their heads sadly. The last thing they needed was a drug epidemic in this small town.

“What did the kid we caught last night have to say?” Tony asked, looking down at the file. “He is from Morehead. Seth Bolivar.”

Noah sighed. “We just got him to talk this morning. Drake handled him. I was still too pissed off. He came into our town to kidnap Holly. He slept the night away comfortably and had a good breakfast. I was tempted to kick his ass out into the street, but hopefully Judge Connelly will deal harshly with him, too.”

Drake stood up from his chair. He looked just as frustrated as Noah was. This was hard on all of them. “He says Gerald paid him to bring Holly to him. They were supposed to meet in the woods, and Gerald was giving him free drugs. Gerald knows he is too hot in town. They have a new supplier from the Houston area, and supposedly this guy is coming to set up shop around our towns. He thinks he can take over the drug community.”
