“Fuck,” he moaned. “So fucking perfect, baby.”
I pushed back with each of his thrusts forward. He was fucking me so deep, I was screaming his name.
“You have no idea how damn hot it sounds when my name comes from that cocky mouth of yours.”
My other hand moved down to my clit. I wanted to be right there with him. When my fingers rubbed against his shaft as he entered me, he moaned into the air.
“Damn,” he said. “Make yourself come, baby. I want to feel you all over my dick.”
I threw my head back, pushed back against him hard, and screamed out into the air as I pulsed around him. My legs felt like they were shaking like crazy. He held my hip with one hand and shoulder with the other and thrust in hard.
“It feels so damn good when you come on my cock, baby.”
He moved into me hard and deep before roaring my name and bursting inside of me. I couldn't get enough of feeling his bare cock exploding into me. His chest came down on my back, and I let out a long breath.
Jackson stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me. It was so warm and soft against my skin that I moaned. I heard him laugh at my response. Then he took my hand as I stepped onto the bare floor. My eyes opened and I looked at him. I didn't expect the warmth that covered the bottom of my feet.
“I don't think I'm ever leaving this bathroom. Between that tub, shower, warm towels, and a toasty floor, it's absolutely perfect.”
“I knew you'd love it,” he said, as he scooped me into his arms and walked out of the room and over to the bed.
He crawled in behind me and pulled the cover over us. I turned in his arms and rubbed my fingers over his tattoo. There were little tattoos all brought together. In the very middle of it all was the word Tiny. I never noticed it before. It was his life, and I was in the center of it. Had he really been thinking about me the whole time, I wondered? With one arm around my back and his legs wrapped around mine, I watched his eyes fighting to stay open. My fingers moved over his skin, tracing every inch of his tattoo. I felt his muscles relax beneath my touch. Then I heard his breathing even out. I watched him for a long time before curling in against his chest and finally closing my eyes.
Chapter 16
Jackson
I opened my eyes when I heard the ding of one of our phones. Tina was nuzzled into my chest. I don't think either of us had moved an inch. When I reached over and grabbed my phone from the stand next to my bed, there was a text from Tina's mom.
Mom: I'm making dinner. Tim wants to see you two. Will you come over? It'll be ready in two hours.
I knew it was an hour drive, but I also knew she needed to see her family. After what they had seen the night before and all of their help, I wanted them to know that she was okay. Without them, we wouldn't have been in my bed tangled together.
Me: Yes. We fell asleep. I'll wake her up now. We'll be there in about two hours.
Mom: Everything okay?
Me: Yes. Thank you so much for being there for us. I can't thank you enough for believing that I loved her and keeping her there yesterday.
Mom: I always knew you two were meant to be. Love you guys. Drive safe.
I put my phone back and leaned over to whisper in Tina's ear.
“You want to drive the car?” I asked.
Her head shot up from the bed instantly. I couldn't help but laugh.
“Seriously?” she asked.
“Of course,” I said. “Get that sweet ass dressed. We're going to see your family for dinner.”
She dropped her head back onto the pillow and laughed.
“Really?” she asked.
“Your mom wants to make sure her little girl is okay,” I said. “You can't blame her.”
She nodded, pulled back the covers, and stood up. Her arms reached up and she let out a yawn.
“Stop it, woman,” I growled.
“I don't know what you mean,” she said, as she arched her back and stretched that luscious body.
“Don't toy with me,” I said sternly.
“Or what?” she asked.
That was it. I reached out faster than she thought I could and pulled her to the bed. She yelped out, as she landed on her back. I took her hands in mine and pulled them above her head, as I hovered over her. She looked up at me with so much love, and I felt my heart clench tight. Her legs tightened. I shook my head, put my knee between her legs, and spread them. My cock filled her without warning, and she cried out as she pulled at her wrists. I took her hard and had her calling my name and coming around me before chasing my own release. Her eyes closed as she let out a whimper.
“Oh, no you don't,” I said. “Your mom is expecting us for dinner. Now get that sweet ass showered and dressed. Do not test me again. If you do, I'm going to tie your ass to the bed and fuck you until you pass out. Then I'm going to wake you up and take you again.”
She pulled her plump bottom lip into her mouth and climbed out of bed. I heard her giggle as she closed the bathroom door. I walked over to the door and opened it just a bit.
“I told your mom we'd be there in two hours. That was thirty minutes ago. If you're ready to leave in twenty minutes, you can drive.”
“It's my car,” she said. “Oh, shit! I'll be ready.”
I laughed as I shut the door and began getting dressed. Tina definitely kept me on my toes. I loved the way she made me laugh and challenged me at the same time. She was so damn proud each time she got to me. Little did she know, I was enjoying every second of it.
Her ass was ready in exactly twenty minutes. She stood at my door with her hand extended. I burst into laughter.
“You're worse than your brother,” I said.
“There's a huge difference between me and my brother,” she said.
“You're right about that.”
“I'll get to drive the car anytime I want,” she said with a smirk.
“Oh yeah?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “You said this is our home.”
“I did,” I said, as I locked up and we walked out to the garage.
“Then that makes it our garage. In our garage, is that car,” she said, as she reached over and snatched the keys from my hand.
I took off after her and caught her right at the garage door. She had the biggest smile on her face. It made me feel so damn good. I grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her mouth to mine.
“You can drive it anytime you want,” I said.
“Just so you know,” she said, as she opened the car door and slid happily into the driver's seat. “You're welcome to anything that's mine as well.”
I climbed into the passenger side and looked over at the silly look she was giving me.
“You can drive my car and stay at my apartment anytime you want,” she said before bursting into laughter.
“There's only one thing I want from you, baby,” I said, as I took her hand in mine.
“The only thing I have to offer is me, Jackie,” she said with a sweet, puppy dog look on her face.
“That's all I need,” I said.
“Well then, I guess you hit the jackpot,” she laughed out.
“I've missed you so damn bad,” I said. “Get your ass driving or we're going to be late.”
“Have no fear,” she said. “I'll drive this baby for what it was made for.”
She reached into her purse and grabbed her phone. Then she lifted it up and took a damn selfie. I shook my head and laughed.
“What?” she asked. “I have to send this to Chris. He's going to be so jealous. You should have seen him at the hotel when he saw this car.”
I reached over and snatched her phone from her.
“Drive, woman,” I said.
She pulled out and took off down the drive. Once she turned onto the main street, she floored it.
“I'm not paying your ticket,” I said.
She laughed and shook her head.
“I just had to do it once,” she said. “I'll behave from now on.�
��
“Somehow I doubt that,” I said with a smile. “I wouldn't have it any other way, beautiful.”
I had to laugh at the response Chris sent back to her.
Chris: I guess this photo means you didn't kill each other. Doesn't he know better than to let you drive that car? Is he crazy? Of course he is. He was chasing after you. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. Are you sure he wants you instead of me? Love you, Tina. Glad you're okay.
I had to send him back a message from her phone.
Me: This is Jackson. She's too busy flooring the damn thing. When you come to town next time, you can drive it while you're here. You just have to pry the keys out her hands.
Chris: Is my girl okay? Everything good with you two?
Me: Sure is. Can I get your number? I want to talk to you later.
Chris: Of course. You're alright man. Be good to her.
Me: I will. She'll text you when we get to her house for dinner. That is if we get there. She drives like a nut.
Chris: Yes she does.
“Quit sending my friend messages,” she snapped from next to me.
I pulled out my phone and programmed his number in.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Chris said I could get his number,” I answered.
“I don't think so,” she said. “You going to program your friend Andrea's number into my phone?”
“If you want me to,” I said. “That's not a bad idea.”
I loved watching the smile on her face as she drove. She really did have a great time. I couldn't blame her. I felt the same way when I drove it.
She pulled the car into her parents' driveway, and the front door flew open. Tim came out of that house faster than I thought he could move. Tina got out, twirled the keys around her fingers, and smiled at her brother.
“He let you drive it?” Tim yelled, as he came toward us.
Tina walked around the front of the car over to me. I was a little surprised when she threw her arms around me and claimed my mouth. He let out a growl and stopped where he was.
“He gave it to me,” she said with a smile and shrug, as she turned back to face him.
It took all I had not to burst out in laughter when his eyes widened and he let out a huff. She was throwing out a huge challenge to him. I was pretty damn proud of her for putting it all out there and letting him know she wasn't to be screwed with. I should have been that strong ten years earlier. She must have noticed a change in me, because she grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard before winking up at me with a bright smile on her face.
“Did he seriously give it to you?” Tim asked.
She pulled my hand and started for the front door.
“No,” she said with a laugh. “You should have seen the look on your face though. That was priceless. Come on you big baby.”
Tim reached out for my arm on our way by.
“I need a minute with Jackson,” he said.
“I don't think so,” she said. “His ass is mine until I fly out of here tomorrow night. You have something to say brother, you say it in front of me.”
Tim mumbled something, but I couldn't tell what it was. We'd have our talk, but I wouldn't do it with Tina around us.
We walked in to have her mom running over and pulling her into her arms.
“You both look so much better today,” she said. “Seeing the two of you curled up on that couch together broke my heart. I love you two.”
She looked up at me while she held Tina. I wrapped my arms around the both of them.
“I love you too, mom,” I said.
“Dinner is ready and waiting on us,” she said. “It took you forever to get here.”
“Your daughter was having too much fun with the car,” I said.
“Do not lie to her,” Tina said, as she pulled back from her mom and looked up at me. “You're the one that.”
“Not another word, Tiny,” I snapped out before she could finish. “I'm warning you.”
She cocked her hip to the side with her hand placed firmly on it.
“What are you going to do, big man?” she asked with a challenging tone.
“Woman,” I snapped, as I lunged forward at her.
She took off toward the table with a laugh.
“That's how we ended up late in the first place,” she said, as she pulled out a seat and sat down quickly. “You should know better than to warn me, Jackie.”
I leaned over and kissed her on the forehead before taking the seat next to her. Tina's dad walked into the room and sat down.
“Jackson,” he said. “I'm glad to see the two of you looking happy.”
I nodded at him before looking back at Tina. Tim and Renee sat down on the opposite side of the table. Their mom sat down as well. Plates were passed around and conversations started. I loved being a part of their family. It was such a great feeling.
The table seemed quiet for a moment. Everyone was deep into eating their dinners. Tina looked over at me and then at her mom.
“So,” she began.
I had no idea what was going to come out of her mouth. With her new attitude, it could have been anything. I watched her look between her dad and mom.
“I just wanted to let you know that I'm coming back home,” she said nervously.
“Tina,” her dad said. “Are you serious?”
I could see the emotions beginning to fill his eyes. It wasn't something that happened often, and it was definitely nice to see.
“I am,” she said.
“When?” her mom asked, as she reached over and squeezed Tina's hand with hers. “You have no idea how happy you've just made me, baby girl.”
“That part hasn't been worked out yet,” she answered. “We haven't talked it all through yet. I have made the decision to come back though.”
“I'm so happy you'll be here again,” her dad said. “It's been so hard having you so far away from us. I always worry about you. We'll get your brother's room cleaned out the rest of the way and get it fixed up for you.”
I felt Tina's body tense next to me. My hand went under the table and squeezed her leg to let her know I was there no matter what.
“I'm not moving in here,” she said.
“Of course you are,” her mom said. “You can stay here as long as you want. That way you can get a job and save before you move back out.”
“I actually have a lot of money saved right now,” Tina said proudly.
I was proud of her. She'd set a goal of being able to buy herself a home without a loan, and she'd done pretty well with saving money. It had to have put a big dent in that savings flying back and forth those last two weeks though. I wasn't really happy that she'd stayed in an unsafe area so that she could save either, but that didn't change how proud she made me.
“That has nothing to do with it though,” she said.
I felt her take a deep breath in and slowly release it before she spoke again.
“I'm going to live with Jackson,” she said.
“What?” her brother snapped out.
Her shoulders went back, and she sat straight up. She was ready to take him on. That wasn't her job though. It was mine. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off.
“Look, Tim,” I said, as I put my arm around Tina's back. “I know she's your sister and you have always looked out for her, but you need to stop.”
“I'm not talking about this here,” Tim said. “I want to talk to you alone.”
I looked toward Tina's mom and was so happy to see her with a smile as she waited for me to speak. She nodded her head so I knew it was okay.
“I love your sister,” I said. “I have been in love with her since I scared the shit out of her when I was fifteen. You know the day. It was the day you asked me to never go near her. I stayed away from her all through high school. At college, I was taking trips home to make sure she was okay. I missed her so damn bad. It tore the shit out of me not to see her walk across that graduation stage.”
> Tina squeezed my leg hard under the table.
“When I sat on that beach talking to her for hours, I couldn't walk away. I caved in, and we had one time together. It took all I had to walk from her after that. I did it for you. It was the biggest mistake of my life. That is my only regret. I should have fought for her, and I didn't. She is all I've thought about for ten years. I've built what I have for her. The entire time I was building my business, I did it so she would be proud. I did it thinking that you would think I was worthy of her if I made something of myself. I did it hoping she'd want to be with me. I bought my house because of her. I had things done to it just for her.”
“I knew it,” their mom yelled out. “That porch and yard gave it away for me.”
“You should see the tub,” Tina told her mom.
“I don't know what your deal is with me. We've all changed since high school. I love your sister more than any man ever could. I'm going to be with her. I'm going to marry her, take care of her, have babies with her, and keep her safe for the rest of my life. I'd marry her right now if she'd have me. We are going to be together with or without your approval.”
“Even if that means losing my friendship?” Tim asked.
“Yes,” I answered. “I don't want it to come down to that, but I will not give her up. I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and protected. I would give my life for her without a second thought. She's mine, and we belong together. I love her with everything I am. I will not let her down. I will never let her go again. I will fight for her until my last breath.”
Tina turned toward me and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“I love you so much, Jackson,” she whispered into my ear.
“What about you being with someone else? I heard her crying about it yesterday,” Tim said.
“I was in New York yesterday. I was going to her. Andrea told her I was with a woman. Tina was that woman. The only problem was that she was here looking for me,” I said.
Tim moved his eyes from me and over to her.
“He's it for me, Tim,” she said. “Accept it or not. That doesn't matter. I love this man. I've loved him for so long. He's the reason I left and the reason I'm coming back. I'm moving into his house. There is nothing that will change that. I love you very much, Tim. You're my brother, but I won't let you take this away from us.”
