Fighting For You (The Connor Family 5)

I laughed when he lowered me on the bed, climbing on top of me. He rested his knees at either side of my hips, trapping me underneath him.

“You owe me a full-body check, Brooke.”

“Hmmm... I think I’ll let you get on with that multitasking of yours first. You have to earn the bragging rights.”

“And I will.”

He leaned slightly forward, bringing one hand to the top button of my blouse. He drew a circle around it with his middle finger. Heat speared me. I clenched my thighs, as if he’d drawn that small circle on my center. Jace didn’t miss my reaction. He smiled lazily as he undid the button, before moving lower. He repeated the motion with each button, until I was so turned on, I felt that I might lose my mind. Once all buttons were undone, he yanked my blouse away, leaning over me to kiss my torso. He seemed intent on exploring every inch of my upper body, skimming his lips from my navel upward on my ribs, then my chest. I was barely keeping myself from writhing underneath him. My center pulsed. My nipples were so sensitive that they were aching at the contact with the silky bra.

I grabbed the hem of his shirt, awkwardly pulling it over his head. I gasped as I came face-to-face with a huge bruise on his left side.

“Does it hurt?”

“A little.”

“Should we be doing this?”

“Babe, even if I was covered in bruises, I’d still be all over you.”

“Well then, I must reward you for your effort, right?”

I wiggled from under him, barely refraining from pinching him when he gave me a smug smile. I undid his belt, taking it out completely before getting rid of his jeans. I also did away with his boxers, fastening my palm around his erection, licking the tip.

“Brooke,” he growled, jerking his hips forward.

I was sitting with my legs curled up next to me, one hand propped on the mattress for support, the other tightly wrapped around him. I sucked in my belly in anticipation when Jace reached down, slipping one hand under my skirt. He pulsed in my mouth when his fingers touched my panties and he realized how ready I was for him. He slid his hand inside my thong, giving me two fingers at once and curling them inside me so good that my vision faded. My inner muscles spasmed around his fingers.

“Babe....” He brought one hand to the side of my head, gently guiding me back until he was out of my mouth. And then he pushed me on my back, positioning himself over me. He tugged down one cup of my bra, as if he was too impatient to take it off, as if he needed me too much to bother with logistics. He pulled a nipple into his mouth, driving me crazy with the gentle suckling.

I reached behind my back, awkwardly undoing the clasp. Jace groaned when my bra came off completely, moving to the other breast. His hips were nestled between my legs. I became painfully aware of the fact that he was naked and I still had panties on when the tip of his erection pressed against the fabric. I wanted him so much that my entire body was aching with need.

“Oh fuck, Brooke.”

He reached one hand under my skirt, grabbing my thong and yanking it down, past my knees, down to my ankles. Then I kicked it away.

Jace reached blindly to the nightstand, and one second after sheathing himself with a condom, he rolled us over until I was on top of him. I lowered myself on him in one quick move, pinching my eyes shut. I’d never felt so utterly and completely full. I wouldn’t last long. I felt an orgasm already forming, exquisitely and slowly, spurred by the feeling of him inside me, the lashes of his tongue alternating between torturing my nipple and my mouth.

I came so hard that I needed to hold on to him tightly. Jace took control, gripping my hips, moving me up and down his cock, prolonging my wave of pleasure until he reached his own climax. He kept his arms around my waist afterward. His hot, shaky breath tickled my collarbone, but I didn’t want to move. I loved feeling him all around me like this.

“I forgot to congratulate you for today’s victory,” I said a while later. We were cuddling in my bed after a quick shower. I spoke in between peppering small kisses on his shoulder and chest.

“Thanks. Great day for both of us, huh?”

“You could say that. Did you see Graham’s face in the meeting? He seemed impressed.”

“Everyone was. You’re great at what you do.”

Jace brought a hand to the side of my head. I looked up at him, surprised to see him frown.

“What’s wrong?”

“I know we said we’d wait, but... I’d like everyone to know we’re together. I saw how much everyone appreciates your work, Brooke.”

“I know. I think they trust that I’m competent by now.”

“Does that mean you’ll consider it?” He brought me higher, until our faces were almost level.

“I’ve been thinking about this the entire day. It’s important to you, and I think it’s time.”
