All of that was stuck in her throat, and it wanted to come out, but instead she did the next best thing and met him halfway across the table in a sweet kiss.
His hand drifted up to the side of her face as he angled her head so he could kiss her even deeper. She heard his soft moan and released a whimper. She wanted more. She wanted him.
She loved him. The thought penetrated through her impassioned haze and settled in the deepest part of her heart. He was a part of her now. And nothing or no one could ever take that away. The thought thrilled her as well as terrified her, but she knew it was true. And even if he never returned those full feelings, she knew she would be ok with that. The love she had for him only made her stronger, and whatever time she had with him she would take and tuck away those memories.
Jason finally pulled away just enough to be able to look into her eyes. It was a good thing he did because Allie didn’t think she had the strength to stop kissing him. His eyes were dazed with arousal, as he smiled lazily over at her.
“You ready to head on back to the ranch?”
“Yes,” Allie replied. They needed to get out of a public restaurant before they started making out like a couple of kids.
Jason stood up from his chair and reached out a hand to assist Allie to her feet. After stepping away from the table, Allie locked her arm in his as they walked out to the truck.
Jason pulled the truck into his driveway and parked by the front door. He didn’t want to open the door and climb out of the truck because that would mean this date was over. This was the best date of his life, and he didn’t want it to end now.
Shuggy and Mal heard them drive up and started barking excitedly in greeting from inside the house. Allie laughed from beside him, and he sighed. He turned his head to look over at where she was grinning. After giving her a quick wink, he jumped down from the truck and walked around to open her door and give her a hand down.
They walked hand in hand up to the front door, where he swiftly unlocked it with his free hand and pulled the door open. Two bounding bundles of fur exploded from the entryway and quickly circled their legs demanding attention. They both knelt down to let the dogs welcome them home, and Shuggy did her normal you’ve been gone for days let me cover you with kisses thing, causing Allie to squeal with laughter.
God, he loved her laugh. It was so joyful and sweet, so genuine. Like it reached down into his soul and gave it light. He smiled contentedly as he watched her love on the two dogs, and when they felt properly greeted, he reached down his hand to help Allie back to her feet.
She stood to her full height, and when her head snapped up, it was now the barest of inches away from Jason’s face. The fact he was so close seemed to surprise her for a moment, and she grabbed a hold of his arm to keep from stumbling. Jason placed both hands on her waist to keep her secure until she regained her footing.
Allie froze and stared up into his eyes. Those big, beautiful eyes that he felt like he could get lost in. Jason just let her look her fill, heck, he’d stay here with her in his arms all night if she wanted to.
“I guess I should go to bed,” she finally murmured softly, still not breaking eye contact.
“Ok,” Jason agreed but still didn’t release his grip on her waist.
“Um, goodnight then.”
“Goodnight,” Jason smiled at her. She still hadn’t stepped out of his arms or made any movement to leave.
“Ok then,” Allie laughed and finally took a step back, so his hands dropped back down to his sides. “Come on Shuggs, time for bed.”
Jason watched as Allie turned her back to him and started to walk down the hallway to her room. He wanted to stop her so badly. Instead of just letting her walk away, he wanted to grab her by the arm and spin her around, and then he wanted to kiss her until neither of them could think clearly anymore. Then he wanted to take her to his room and show her how much she meant to him.
But he couldn’t do that, especially now after hearing about how her father practically gave her away to another man without her input or consent. She had so much taken away from her just because she was a woman. And as much as he wanted to, he wasn’t going to influence her decision now, unless she gave him some sort of sign that she was ready.
So he watched her as she slowly walked away from him and forced his feet to remain still. Just as she reached her door and placed her hand on the knob, she froze. Then all Jason saw was a blur as she spun around and dashed back down the hall in his direction.
Oh hell yes, that was all the sign he needed. Jason took the remaining steps that spanned the distance between them to meet her in the middle just as she jumped into his chest. He grabbed onto her and pulled her close, angling her head toward his as he pushed his lips down onto hers.
“I don’t need time,” she muttered in between the flurry of kisses, “I know I said I did—but I don’t. I just need you!”
A smile spread across Jason’s mouth as he rained kisses from her mouth to her cute little ear, and then trailing them down her neck. He just couldn’t get enough of this woman. The more he found out about her, the more he was fascinated by her. He wanted to know everything. And then when he learned every last detail of her by heart, he wanted to learn it all over again.
Sure, some people would say this was moving kind of fast. But screw them, Jason knew there was something special about her the moment he saw her strutting down the interstate to their little town in that god-awful outfit.
Jason’s hands grazed down her back until he rested them under her butt, where he slid them down to grab hold of her legs and jerked her body up against his. She straddled her legs around his waist, locking them to grip his body close. With her secure, he kept kissing her while managing to make his way down the hall and carry her into his bedroom. As they entered the room, he kicked the door closed to keep the dogs in the hall.
The massive king sized bed stood in front of them, and Jason carried Allie to it gently laying her down and then covering her body with his. He pulled back just for a moment to make sure she was still ok with where this was headed. All he saw were her heavy-lidded eyes gazing back into his filled with arousal. Damn, she was beautiful! And he couldn’t believe that he had her here in his bed and in his life.
A soft whimpering noise passed through her lips. If she wanted more, he was more than willing to give her more. Jason lowered his face again to press his lips against hers, as his hands started to wander down her chest. He found the bottom of her shirt and slid his hand underneath to the soft skin there. He splayed one hand across her stomach and let it slowly wander its way upwards. His hand trailed up past her rib cage and attached onto her breast. He slipped one of her breasts free of her bra and caressed the soft skin, kneading it and plucking at the hardened nipple. Allie’s body twitched as she moaned under his lips in pleasure.
Jason lowered his hand back to the hem of her shirt to grab the bottom and push it up fully exposing her breasts and the creamy white skin hidden beneath. Allie lifted her body slightly to assist him as he pulled the shirt above her head and off of her body. With a toss, the shirt landed behind them on the floor. Jason froze. He wanted, no needed to take a moment to appreciate how beautiful she was splayed out on the bed in front of him. As far as he was concerned she was the most exquisite woman in the world, and she was here, in his bed.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Jason lowered his head down to her breast and began to kiss and lave it with the love that wanted to burst out of his chest. Her perfect, pink nipples rose into peaks at his attention, practically screaming for more. Without stopping what he was doing, he reached his hand behind her to unclasp her bra and removed it, freeing the other breast so he could give it equal attention.
Allie’s body jerked underneath him in pleasure, as a moan escaped her lips. His hand wandered down her rib cage, down to the place he truly wanted to be. The other hand reached around her waist to unzip the back of her skirt, which he slipped off of her hips and pushed down her legs. Aft
er depositing the skirt on the floor, he finally had access to her mound and dipped his finger inside. Allie gasped above him at the intruding digit, as he pushed in as far as he could go.
God, she was so wet. The realization pleased him more than anything else possibly could at this time. She was so perfect for him. He started to move his finger in and out of her tight sheath until he felt her body begin to tense.
“Um, Ja—Jason,” she breathlessly panted. He froze and pulled back enough to look into her eyes. “Um, I should probably tell you something first. Before we um...go any further.”
“Ok,” he agreed instantly. He’d wait as long as she needed. Hell, he’d stop if that’s what she needed, but he really hoped that wasn’t what she was going to ask for.
“Uh...um…I’m….” she stuttered, and it was so freaking cute, he almost wanted to laugh. “Gah!” A pent up exhale burst from her lips in frustration, “Why is this so hard?”
“It’s ok. Whatever it is, it’s ok.” Jason assured her with a soft smile.
“I’m a virgin,” she blurted out.
Jason froze for a moment and just stared at her. He had actually suspected that with her super religious upbringing, so hearing her say it was no real surprise. But what did surprise him was the feeling of intense satisfaction her words brought. The thought that she had saved herself all this time and that he would be the first, and hopefully, only man to ever be inside of her, that made him more pleased than he had ever thought possible.
“Thank you for telling me. Allie, if you need me to stop, or if anything makes you uncomfortable, just say the word, and I’ll stop.”
“I don’t want you to stop,” she sighed, “please don’t stop...I just thought you should know.”
A smile spread across Jason’s face at her words, and he lowered his head back down to hers and once again found her lips. His hand seemed to have a mind of its own and found its way back down her soft mound. He slipped his finger back inside of her and started to slowly thrust it in and out.
God, she was tight too, he thought. More than anything he wanted this to be good for her, and he didn’t want to cause her any more pain than absolutely necessary. He broke his mouth away from hers and trailed kisses down her belly marking the path down to where he wanted to be. When he reached her mound, he kissed it almost reverently, before darting his tongue inside of her pussy.
He heard her gasp out in pleasure above him, encouraging him to continue. His tongue continued to dart in and out of her while paying attention to her sensitive little nub as well. The pressure continued to build for Allie as she thrashed about on the bed, her moans and pants becoming more and more urgent.
He could feel her muscles tightening and knew she was close. As his tongue drove her wild, he reached his hand and placed it next to her clit, rubbing it softly and then with increasing urgency. The final pressure was all Allie needed, and she exploded above him in pleasure.
Jason climbed back up her body to cradle her face, dazed with wonder, in his hands. He smiled down at her as he lowered his mouth to hers in a loving kiss. His body fully rested on top of hers, and he continued to kiss her as his hands traveled up and down the sides of her body.
Allie reached for the bottom of his shirt and tugged it out of his pants and up his chest. He reached behind him, grabbing hold of the collar, and jerked it off. Before the shirt even made it to the floor, Allie had his pants unbuttoned and pushed them past his hips. Jason helped her by sliding them the rest of the way off, and they joined the pile of clothes growing on the floor.
He paused just for a brief moment to reach inside of his bedside table. His hand ruffled around in the drawer until he pulled out a small, foil packet. Jason ripped open the condom quickly and rolled it along his length. Then he moved his body back on top of Allie’s and stared into her eyes to make sure she was ready. Beautiful, sparkling blue eyes gazed back at him with wonder, and he knew she wanted this as much as him.
He slowly started to ease his throbbing member into her pussy. God, she was so tight. And she felt so good. He inserted just the tip and then pulled out, repeating to try and get her adjusted to having him inside of her. Allie’s body clenched underneath him, and he knew their joining was causing her pain.
“Are you ok?” he whispered.
“Yes,” came back her gritted reply.
“You can tell me if it hurts, we can take this as slow as we need to.” He could see her jaw clenched tight, and the thought that he was causing her pain made his heart want to break.
“Don’t stop,” she pleaded as she clutched his shoulders. “I want this. I want you.”
Jason pushed his mouth down onto hers and invaded her mouth with his tongue. He then pushed into her one last time and thrust into her fully. Allie gasped underneath him, and he forced himself to remain still to give her time to adjust to having him inside of her.
After a couple of deep breaths, he felt Allie start to move beneath him and begin to thrust against him. Jason pressed a kiss into her neck and started to move with her.
The pleasure became so unbearably wonderful to the point Jason knew he was about to finish, but more than anything he wanted Allie to come with him. The pace increased between them, thrusting in and out, faster and faster. Their passion kept building until Jason felt Allie’s muscles clench down tightly around him causing him to groan in pleasure. Allie tightened beneath him and then exploded in a gasp of wonder as she came again. With one last thrust, Jason found his release as well and collapsed on top her.
After taking a moment to regain his breath, he pulled back and looked into her face. Her eyes had an adorably dazed, sleepy look as they looked up at him, “Wow,” she muttered, “if I’d known it was going to be like that, I’d have done this a long time ago.”
Jason laughed and rolled to the side, sliding off of the bed to take care of the condom. On his way back to the bed he opened the door to two waiting puppies. Shuggs and Malcolm dashed into the room and promptly made themselves comfortable on the doggie bed in the corner.
Jason climbed back into bed and pulled Allie’s warm body into his, spooning against her back. He kissed the back of her neck as he wrapped his arms around her, resting one contentedly on her stomach and held her tight. This was right, it was perfect, and he had no intention of letting her go anytime soon.
Chapter 12
“Soooo,” Rayne drew out the word as she leaned over the desk to invade Allie’s space, “I’ve been wanting to ask all day, and you’ve got to give me props for waiting this long.” Allie laughed, she knew her friend was torn between wanting to give her privacy and wanting to barge in on her business, “Did you really spend last night at Jason’s ranch?” When Allie’s cheeks turned pink at her question, Rayne laughed, “Oh my God! You have to tell me! Please! I am your best friend here, after all, I think.”
Despite being embarrassed, Allie couldn’t help but laugh at her friend’s enthusiasm, “First of all, of course you’re my best friend here.” Allie rolled her eyes at Rayne, “And second,” try as she might, she couldn’t keep the huge smile from spreading across her face, “um, second, um—”
“You two DID it!” Rayne gasped, unable to contain her excitement, “Your face totally gives it away. You had sex with Jason Connors!”
“Shhh,” Allie tried to shush her friend from announcing the news to all of Serenity.
“Sorry,” Rayne laughed, “but I’m so happy. Happy for you, a great girl. Happy for Jason, a great guy. And happy that Daphne the super bitch is about to suffer extreme and total humiliation because she told everyone that Jason was her man!”
They both laughed. “So are you ok with everything?” Rayne asked her, this time much more calmly and inquisitively.
“Oh yes,” Allie’s eyes shone with happiness. “I’m so happy, Rayne. I literally feel like I’m going to burst. I’ve never felt this way before.”
“Oh girl, you’ve got it bad. It’s all over your face. I’m so happy that both of you found each othe
r.” Rayne reached over to embrace Allie.
“So,” Rayne continued as she pulled away with a sly glance, “can I call Hana and the girls and let them know the good news?”
Allie laughed, “How about we wait just a little bit longer and let it sink in.”
“Oh fine, if you insist.” Rayne teasingly pouted out her lower lip, “But just so you know, they’ll be thrilled too.”
Time to let it sink in would be a good thing all around. As happy as Allie was, she had gone through a lot of changes last night. Goodness knows she would have been judged mercilessly by the Free Indeed people if they had known. An unchaperoned date...yep, that would make her a sinner. Spending the night at a man’s house...major sinner. Pre-marital sex with that man...get down on your knees and repent or God will strike you down, sinner. Yeah, the group she came from was pretty judgemental, to say the least. And even though she was happy and thrilled to be in the place where she was, sometimes she still heard all their voices in the back of her head screaming at her to get her life back on track.
But her life was right where she wanted it to be, and she just needed to remember that this was the life she chose. This was who the real Allie was. And she knew the more she pushed those voices back, the more muffled they would become.
Jason, Shuggy, her freedom...these were the best things that ever happened to her. To wake up this morning in Jason’s arms was a wonderfully, awesome feeling that she wanted to experience every morning for the rest of her life. Then he had driven her and Shuggy into work and given her a kiss that made her tingle all the way down to her toes. She definitely wanted more of that too.
Allie couldn’t keep the smile off of her face while she worked. She couldn’t believe how amazing her life in Serenity had turned out.
They heard the front door jingle indicating someone had entered the shelter, “I’ve got it.” Allie volunteered, “You go ahead and finish up.” Rayne smiled her thanks in Allie’s direction before returning her attention to administering shots to Simon, the Jack Russell Terrier in front of her.
