“And hearing you beg shatters even more of my control.” He drew back, drove forward. His movements grew faster. Each thrust harder than the last. His balls grew tighter, orgasm building in the base of his spine. Around him the room started to fade. He needed to find release inside her. To feel her coming around him, sucking him in deep.
She cried out. He felt her clamp down. Then she came, screaming. And he was gone. One thrust. Two. Three. And he quickly followed her over.
He was home.
Saxon walked into Jake’s office. He’d crept out of bed about twenty minutes ago, not wanting to wake Aspen. After a quick shower and a few phone calls, he’d checked on Caleb and Jamie before making his way down to the sheriff’s office.
Curt, who had been one of the people he’d called, turned in his chair as he entered. He held a cup of coffee in one hand and his face was covered in a few days growth. He frowned as he saw Saxon.
Curt owned a security company. He hadn’t been running it long, but he was good at what he did. And Saxon knew he needed his help.
“This better be good, I got out of a warm bed to come here. And your call woke Jenna up.” And Curt was very protective of Jenna. With good reason.
“I won’t keep you long. I appreciate you coming.”
Curt raised his eyebrows. “What? No sarcastic come back about how I’m growing soft in my old age?”
“I don’t have time for that this morning.” And he’d been reluctant to leave his own warm bed this morning, and the sweet little sub who had been curled around him.
Jake leaned back in his chair and gave him a knowing look. “Impatient to get back to Aspen?”
“Yes.” He wasn’t going to lie. “I’ve been away close to a week. The last thing I want to be doing is talking to the two of you.”
Curt looked at him in shock. “Never pegged you for the settling down type. Or a family man.”
“You were wrong then, huh? You should be used to that by now.”
Curt flipped him the bird as he sat in the other chair across the desk from Jake.
“Still
an asshole,” Curt grumbled. “Thought Aspen’s sweet nature might have rubbed off on you.”
“Are neither of you are going to congratulate me?” Did they not think he was good enough for her? He got it. He didn’t believe it either. He had no idea how to be a good father or husband. But damned if he was going to give her up. He would learn. He would do whatever was needed for the three of them. They’d never want for anything. Including his love. He’d give them what they needed to feel secure. To know that he was there for them. No matter what.
But it did hurt that neither Jake nor Curt had said they were happy for him.
“Congratulate you on what?” Jake asked, looking puzzled.
“I thought you’d called us here to talk about Aspen’s troubles,” Curt added.
He stiffened, straightened. “What trouble?”
“Shit. You don’t know?” Curt looked over at Jake and grimaced.
“I thought Aspen would have told you,” Jake added with a frown.
Told him what? Worry churned in his gut. Was she hiding something from him?
But when had she had a chance to say anything? The first thing he’d done on getting home was fuck her. Then he’d snuck out of bed before she awoke. He ran his hand tiredly over his face. He’d have loved nothing more than to stay in bed with her this morning. To take her again. This time slowly and thoroughly. To talk to her. To check on where her head was. But he’d thought this conversation couldn’t wait.
And apparently there was more going on than he knew.
He leaned forward. “We haven’t had a chance to talk. I got home late and was up before she woke up. What’s going on?”
“All right, first things first.” Jake held up a hand. “There’s another reason you wanted to meet with me and Curt?”
It churned in his gut not to know what was going on with Aspen, but he thought it was a good idea to get this shit out of the way first.
