His hands make their way back up to my wrists as he leans down for my lips. “Need you too.” He needs me too. He kisses me. The warm breath from his mouth sends shivers down my spine, down to my toes. Like Spiderman, he effortlessly weaves his way down from my lips, kissing my body until he’s between my legs. Holy shit, I desperately want to move my arms, and touch him as he licks the most sensitive parts of my heat. This being tied up crap is causing me to pant as if I’m doing a marathon. It’s overwhelming, but at the same time, it’s an incredible feeling. Holding onto my thighs, Jason continues to assault my pussy, sucking, and licking up, and down until he’s at my asshole. Oh wow…amazing. The memory of his thick dick inside my ass; I’d never imagined loving it as much as I had. Next thing I know, two fingers make their way inside my wet entrance, all the while still eating me out. This man has talent! Feels so fucking good. I can’t get enough. I’m whimpering at each stroke he uses to throw me overboard. I know he told me not to move, but I can’t help but move my pussy along the rhythm of his mouth, releasing something out of me. Something I can’t explain. I’m so close. So very close. Just then, he throws my legs over his shoulders, and gives me his all. So why not show him my all? A sharp, wonderful pain ignites, beginning from the pit of my stomach, all the way to the center of my clit. I scream out Jason’s name as the all-consuming orgasm hits surface.
Still coming down from my high, my breath literally is taken away when Jason suddenly enters me. His big cock fills me up like no other man has ever been able to do. He’s exquisite. Up on his forearms, Jason begins to move with ease, with such power. Wrapping my legs around his torso, I’m able to feel his ass muscles working. He’s a fucking machine and he knows it. My tits wiggle underneath him as a drip of sweat lands on my collarbone. He leans down, assaulting my mouth, sucking away what’s left of my sanity. At my age, it’s amazing how I can find another orgasm. Yet it’s happening. Out of nowhere, it hits me. I scream inside his mouth, biting on his tongue in the process. It doesn’t take long, thereafter, for Jason to completely lose his control. Lifting his mouth from mine, he effortlessly gazes into my eyes, growling out his release, which almost sounded like a cry. Soon after, he relaxes his entire weight on top of me. It’s heavenly.
“Mind blowing,” he mumbles into my neck, breathing hard. Kissing my jawline, he lifts his head and looks at me then asks, “How’d that feel?”
“Amazing,” I respond with a lazy smile and heavy eyelids. He then kisses me as he unties the ribbon from my wrists. I’m now able to move them freely so I place them on the back of his head as we continue to kiss. Our tongues dance nice and slow. I could kiss him like this forever. Actually, I do get to kiss him like this forever. Happy dance.
Jason releases himself from me then climbs off the bed. I turn on my side to watch his tight ass as he walks to his bathroom. He comes back out with a wet washcloth, then gently wipes the warm cloth around my still sensitive pussy. He’s wiping away his come I feel dripping from my inner thighs. We didn’t use protection again. I know I’m on the pill, but that’s not always effective. Either way, I’m glad he decided to go without a condom. He’s the only man I’ll ever make love with for the rest of my life. It makes me terribly happy. Giddy. Overjoyed.
He’s all mine.
Once I’m all cleaned up, we both slide between the sheets. By now, it’s dark outside with only the city lights shining inside the room. I love the serene glow the lights give to his stark, clean, and beautiful room. I could see myself giving his apartment a woman’s touch. Maybe he’ll allow me to help decorate? After getting settled, and comfortable, we lie facing each other. We’re grinning like two fools in love. I want to laugh. I’m so extremely happy for the first time in my life.
He tucks a hair behind my ear. Breaking the silence he tells me, “You know you’re movin’ in here with me, right?”
His authoritative tone turns me on, but this little revelation surprises me. “What?” I chuckle.
He pulls my face in then kisses me. “Love you, Fireball.” I suck back a breath. O.M.G.. He said it. As if I wasn’t already blown away, he continues to surprise the hell out of me. “You’re movin’ in, and I won’t take no for answer. You belong with me. I belong with you. We’re gonna live together then get married and have a kid. This is not up for debate. You hear me? You’re my freedom and I’m yours. The fucking end.”
I am so totally speechless. If I were a fly on the wall, I sure as hell would have seen my eyes bugging out like someone had just bit me. Jason’s one of a kind. He’s quiet, passionate, astonishing, talented, and unpredictable. All the things I love about him. A calming storm settles over me. Smiling at his non-negotiable proposal, I teasingly ask, “And they lived happily ever after?”
He wraps his arms around me, bringing our chests together. “Yeah,” he replies with a smirk. The smile that I’ll never get tired of seeing.
Placing my palm on the side of his face, I tell him, “I love you too, Poker Face.” Then kiss him until we’re both spent all over again.
A couple days later, I accepted Faith’s job proposal. To say she was thrilled beyond belief was an understatement. I, too, was excited to start my new chapter in life as the bar manager of the most talked about hotel in Southern California. I couldn’t wait to get started. That evening, Jason and I went over to Sandy and Quinn’s for dinner where I told them my news. At first, Sandy was speechless, but once I explained my reasons for accepting the position, she hugged me, and cried happy tears. We have so many memories at Reds together. It’s going to be extremely hard leaving. And Quinn…well, let’s just say he is a man of few words. Yet his gentle hug showed me everything.
Quinn and Jason were finally coming around. It may take some time, but they’ll soon be friends. I can feel it. As for Joey, he got along great with Jason the second we entered the house. Joey talked to him about theater, and graduating high school next year with such passion. Also being passionate about music, Jason could relate to Joey in many ways. Deep down, I believe he could see the similarities in their behavior, and finally felt a sense of belonging, per se. It brought me pure joy.
That night, after making love, I lie my head on Jason’s chest, listening to the beat of his heart as he sleeps. It’s my favorite beat to any music I’ll ever listen to. A small smile lifts my lips, with the realization that I finally feel at peace for the first time in my life. It’s all because of this man in my arms: Jason’s my forever. My soulmate. The man I was born to be with. It took me half my life, and many failed relationships to find him. We may never be perfect, but we’re perfect for each other.
THE FUCKING END
You got a little taste of RICO inside Releasing Rhythm. Now are you ready to read a glimpse of what’s to come? Here’s the prologue for RICO—coming late 2017
I KILLED MY HUSBAND. HE begged me to end his life, not wanting to suffer for the remaining months he had left. He was in pain. I wasn’t ready to lose him just yet, but I went along with it anyway. He had it planned out perfectly, but once it was done and over with, I knew my life would never be the same. After the funeral, I did what I promised him– I left. I’m now on the run, hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas, Nevada, the only home I’ve ever known, trying to lose the old me. Even though his death may have looked like part of his illness, I knew his brother would never believe it. He was going to come after me.
I changed my name, social security number, and sold everything, receiving cash for them. No connections to my previous life were better– this I knew for months now. I had to be smart, leaving no traces of me. Alexis Sumner is no longer who I am; Cassie Morgan has taken over. There’s nothing remarkable about Cassie. She doesn’t stand out. She’s plain, hidden and boring. Alexis Sumner was known for being the trophy wife, the gopher, someone who loved being in the spotlight. Despite having the life I was meant to have, I chose to kill her as well. My old life vanished in a blink of an eye.
No matter how long I went along with planning my husband’s dea
th, the idea of leaving everything behind was traumatic. He gave me instructions where to go but I had no idea where this place was. Driving in the dead of night and not even being able to describe how I was feeling, I could only recall that I was acting on autopilot, numb inside, and functioning solely on adrenaline. I hadn’t even stopped to sleep, I knew I had to keep moving until I got to my destination. Utterly exhausted, I finally made it to Bishop, California. The town was small but had this touristy atmosphere that drew me in. The perfect place to start over (or hide).
It was the dead of winter, with snow on the sides of the road. But stupid me, I hadn’t planned on snow and never put chains on my tires. I could worry about that tomorrow. For the time being, I desperately needed food, a shower, and a bed. Coming upon The Creekside Inn, I decided to call it a night. It had room service, which was perfect since I could hide out here for awhile until I was ready to move on. Once I showered and ate, I surprisingly crashed onto the bed and fell right to sleep.
Funny thing, I wasn’t in fear that night but I knew things could change drastically the next day. I’d always have to keep my eyes wide open and pray I stay alive because…Cassie Morgan couldn’t die, too.
First off: This is a bittersweet moment for me. Knowing I’ve given my guys my all, It’s hard to think that JINKS’ journey is almost over. I put their words down on “paper.” I told their stories through me. I created them from somewhere deep inside me and made them who they are today. It’s crazy to think over 2 years ago they weren’t even born. They didn’t even exist until late 2014. I never thought they would become a part of me. But they have. They’re deep inside my heart, because each guy has a little bit of me inside them– if that makes any crazy sense.
Jason was my last. My dark horse. My fighter. The one who pushed away the true love of his life. The one who fought many demons to finally live a life with love. Gah! I love him and I hope you all love him too.
Now that I have told their stories, Forever Faith will be almost like their swan song. A farewell tribute. The book will be in Lucky’s and Faith’s POV’s. The ones who started it all for me. I’ll be writing it sometime next year, 2018.
When I was writing Jason’s character, I decided to make him be on the Autism spectrum. Even though Peta and Jason never discussed him possibly being on the spectrum, I thought it was a neat situation, considering Joey has it, and I believe down the line, in my fiction world, that Jason will finally figure it out. If you noticed toward the end when Sandy was scolding Quinn because Jason wouldn’t look him in the eye, she later on told him that Jason showed signs of Aspergers, and needed to give him a break. I like to believe Quinn finally sympathized, because he’s such a good guy once he knows the person for who he/she is.
As most of you know, my son, Joey does have Aspergers. He was the character in RR and in Purple Rain. Autism/Aspergers is different in everyone. So Jason may not be just like Joey or anyone else on the spectrum. He has his quirks with not being able to look everyone in the eye, but he’s passionate and has a big heart. He’s talented, and brilliant as well. He’s a special guy to me, and feels the closest to me than any other guy in JINKS.
