“Jesus.” Jeremiah pulled away and leaned down so his mouth was next to her ear. “You’re a little vixen, Joci. But, we have some playing to do first.”
His warm breath floated over her shoulder and her ear causing Joci to shiver. Jeremiah chuckled.
She felt something soft wrap around her wrists. Jeremiah tied both hands together with a soft cord or cloth.
“Now, turn back around and scoot to the middle of the bed.” Jeremiah’s voice was tight with his own need.
Joci scooted on her knees and moved to the center of the bed. She turned to face him and then sat on her legs. When she raised her eyes to look at him, he sucked in a breath.
“You’re stunning, Joci. I can hardly believe you’re finally here with me. All day today, I kept reminding myself it was real. I’ve waited so long for you, and dreamed about you so much.”
Joci had to blink back the tears. She was still amazed at the fact that he felt so strongly about her. That he was willing to voice those feelings was even more amazing.
Jeremiah leaned forward and ran his fingers along Joci’s jaw. He slid his fingers into her hair at her temple and cupped the back of her head. He ran his thumb over her bottom lip and then let his hands fall to her breasts.
“Do you know what I like about you having your hands tied behind your back?”
“No.” Joci’s voice was so soft, her throat so dry watching him and listening to him, she couldn’t even hear herself. She cleared her throat and licked her lips.
“No.” She said a little louder.
“I like that your amazing breasts are thrust forward and just begging me to touch them, lick them. I like that I can do what I want to you and you can’t stop me with your hands, but you trust me enough to know that I won’t hurt you. Do you know what that means to me, Joci?”
“No.” She said again, so softly.
Jeremiah looked into her stormy eyes. For long moments, they stared at each other. Jeremiah didn’t even know if he had the words to tell her what this sight before him did to him. He had to pick the time right to tell her how he felt. He didn’t want to screw this up.
“I don’t even have the words. I’ve never been speechless in my life. Right now, you render me speechless.”
Joci’s lips tilted up on the sides. Jeremiah leaned forward and sucked one of her breasts in his mouth. He reached a hand up and cupped the other breast while he suckled the first in his mouth. He sucked hard and nipped at her nipple, and Joci moaned. Jeremiah pinched her other nipple between his thumb and forefinger and rolled it until it was hard and pointed. Then he pinched it. Joci groaned and squirmed a little. Jeremiah knew that went straight to her pussy. He smiled against her breast while he sucked and licked.
“Do you like that, Joci?” He looked up at her. “Does that make you wet?”
Joci looked at him and nodded. At the same time, she sighed, “Yes.”
“Really, how wet are you, baby?”
Jeremiah trailed kisses down her belly all the way down to her curls. He dipped his tongue a little lower. He licked her seam and found her clit and sucked it into his mouth.
Joci moaned again. Her legs were shaking.
“Spread your legs wider for me, sweetheart. Show me your pretty pussy.”
Joci moved her legs apart a little more.
“Oh, so pretty. And, you taste so good.”
Jeremiah slid his tongue along her opening and sucked her into his mouth. Joci moaned. She’d been waiting all friggin’ night. After she had sucked his cock in the garage and he told her what he would do to her, it was all she could think of. She wanted him in every way. He was like a drug to her. On some level, she felt like she shouldn’t want this so bad, but on another, she couldn’t stop herself.
This afternoon, when they came back to the house and she thought she would leave, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it. All her bravado to Jeremiah that she would walk was just that. Bravado. She didn’t know if she could walk away. She couldn’t let him cheat on her either, but walking away from him would be the death of her.
Jeremiah continued to pleasure her with his thick, strong fingers. He knew just how to use them on her. In and out, slowly while he sucked and nipped at her clit. The rhythm he used was intoxicating and so hot. His mouth and tongue were like heaven.
“Jeremiah, can I come? Please tell me I can come.”
Jeremiah looked up at Joci. “You never have to ask me if you can come, Joci. If I make you feel good enough to come, I want you to come. I want you to come on my face, on my fingers, on my cock. I want you to come everywhere.”
Joci whimpered. Jeremiah went back to licking and sucking her and then he slid a second finger inside of her and that was it. Joci cried out his name and came.
“I love watching your face when you come. I want to watch you come every day for the rest of my life. You’re so beautiful.”
Jeremiah reached around her to untie her hands. He massaged them to bring the circulation back into them. Then he gently pushed her back until she was lying down. He grabbed her ankles and pulled her to the edge of the bed. Jeremiah grabbed his cock in his hand and directed it to Joci’s entrance. His eyes never left hers.
Joci felt the broad head at her entrance and braced herself for his entry. She still wasn’t used to his size. Once he was in her, he felt amazing, but when he first entered her, she felt like she was going to break apart.
“Breathe, baby. I won’t hurt you. I’ll never hurt you.”
Joci took a breath but never took her eyes away from his.
“Watch me, Joci.”
She lifted herself up on her elbows and watched him. First, he pushed in just a little so that only the head of his cock was in her. He gave her a couple of seconds and pushed in a little more. He slid out of her to the head and slowly pushed back into her a little more. Fuck, this was the most amazing feeling in the world.
Jeremiah pulled out and then slid in a little further. He leaned forward and lifted Joci’s legs up and spread her knees open so she was completely open to him.
“All the way this time, baby,” he said with a ragged breath.
It took all of his willpower to go slowly with her. He was shaking and sweating, and he hadn’t even started yet.
“Are you with me, baby?”
Joci looked at Jeremiah and smiled at him. She heard him suck in a breath.
“I’m with you. You feel amazing, Jeremiah. I’ve never felt like this before. You fill me completely. It feels so right. It looks hot as hell.”
Jeremiah grunted, “Damn right it feels right. I’ve never felt like this either, Joci. Never.”
He pushed himself into her all the way. Joci closed her eyes as a sigh escaped. He hit her good spots. He wouldn’t even have to move and she could come again. Joci opened her eyes and watched him. He was so beautiful. Dammit, but she wanted this forever. Joci was afraid to think in terms of forever. She never had that sense of security before.
“I want you to come very fast, Joci, because I won’t be able to hold off for long. I want to watch you come one more time, and then we’ll come together.”
Jeremiah reached down and started rubbing her clit while he moved in and out of her. Fuck, he wasn’t going to make it long like this. She felt like nothing else in this world, but to stand here and look at her, so beautiful, so sweet, and then to watch his cock disappear into her sweet, tight little pussy, fuck. His skin became damp with sweat from the exertion of holding himself back. He put more pressure on her clit, and she moaned.
“Fast, Joci. Come fast for me.”
Joci started breathing hard. She looked at Jeremiah. He started pushing into her faster. She was close.
“Jeremiah...”
He started pumping into her faster, straining to keep his own orgasm at bay. He added pressure to her clit and she came as she cried out his name.
Jeremiah leaned down and kissed her.
“I will never get tired of watching your face when you come, Joci. So b
eautiful I don’t even have words for it.”
Joci reached up and dug her hands into his hair and fisted it in the back. She kissed him hard while holding him. He groaned loudly.
“Ride me, Jeremiah. Ride me hard and fast.”
Fuck. She could make him come just by talking to him. He groaned again but didn’t wait for her to say anything more. He slid an arm behind her back and pulled her up the bed so he could lie on top of her. He started pushing into her. He felt like a rutting animal. He was pumping, and she was moaning and mewling.
“Not. Long. Baby…Get there.” He had a hard time forming words. His vision was blurred. His breathing was staggered.
She moaned very loudly. “Yes, Jeremiah…yes. God…so…good.”
He felt her stiffen and gasp out his name. He was right there, draining himself into her, thrust after thrust. Jeremiah thrust two more times, spilling into Joci. As he lay on top of her, he kept his arms under her so he didn’t crush her. He lay there a minute or so and as he started to lift up, she wrapped her legs around his back, holding him in place.
Jeremiah cupped her head in his hands and kissed her temples, then her ears. When his breathing was steadier, he whispered in her ear, “Never thought I would find you, but I did.”
She looked into his eyes; he never looked away from her. He held her gaze, and his thumbs started making light little paths across her cheeks.
He leaned down and kissed her, tenderly, gently. They kissed for a while, still joined, needing to stay close to each other. Joci ran her hands through Jeremiah’s hair, kneading his scalp and holding him close to her.
Jeremiah pulled out of her and they both groaned at the feeling. He told her to stay there and he would be right back.
After cleaning them up, he climbed in bed next to her and pulled her into his arms. They drifted blissfully off to sleep.
Chapter 14
You’ve Got a Friend
Tuesday morning, as they were getting ready for work, Jeremiah reminded Joci that they were going to The Barn tonight to visit with Kevin.
Joci smiled. “What time do you want me to be ready?”
Jeremiah smirked at her. “What time do you want to go? Did you want to go out to eat first?”
“I can make something here, if you’d like. Or maybe my place. I feel like I haven’t been there in weeks. I probably have food going bad in the refrigerator.”
Jeremiah laughed. “Wow, you make that sound great. I’ll have a helping of bad food, please,” he said, smiling from ear to ear.
Joci laughed. “Not what I meant. I just meant you’re going to have to let me go home eventually. I played hooky with you yesterday. I have to go and work and clean my house. Let me make you supper there.”
Jeremiah frowned a bit. “I like you here. I don’t want you getting used to being without me. I want you here, with me. Move in with me, Joci.”
Joci looked at him. Move in? What would she do with her house? All of her stuff? She needed to work from home. Where would she work here? There were a million thoughts running through her head right now.
“I can’t, Jeremiah. It’s too soon. I need office space to work. I have a house…full of stuff. What would I do with all of it? Where would I work?”
Jeremiah walked to her, looking into her eyes. “Those are simply excuses. You know all of that can be worked out.”
Jeremiah touched her face. “I want you here. I want to wake up with you every day. I want to go to sleep with you every night. I want to see you in my space, our space, every time I look around. Will you think about it, please?”
He leaned down and kissed her tenderly.
Joci smiled at him. “Yes, I’ll think about it.”
Jeremiah nodded slightly. “Maybe one of the boys will want to live in your place rather than pay rent somewhere else.”
“It’s a thought,” Joci said with a smile on her face.
Moving in. Wow. She had never lived with anyone but Jackie and Gunnar. That was a big step. Jeremiah was easy to get along with, but something was telling her to wait a little bit and not jump into this so fast. Actually, it probably wasn’t that fast; they had known each other for a year. Worked with each other, made plans, had meetings. The sex was the newest thing … and the relationship. Both of those were indescribably good … no, great, so far!
Jeremiah finished getting dressed, keeping his eye on Joci. What was she thinking? He didn’t want her holding back from him anymore. He had thought about her living with him for the past six months or more. He didn’t want to move too fast and scare her, but he did want her to know just how serious he was about her. He started combing his hair to pull it back into a ponytail while she stood next to him in the bathroom, putting on her makeup. He loved looking at her, watching her go through her routine. It felt comfortable with her here, like it was supposed to be.
Jeremiah turned to look at Joci. “Are you more comfortable making something for dinner at your place, Joci?”
Joci put her lip-gloss in her make-up bag and turned to look at him.
“It’s not about comfort. I feel very comfortable here with you.” Joci took a deep breath. “It’s scary, Jeremiah…I’ve never lived with a man before, except my son, and he doesn’t count. I’m his mom. If it doesn’t work out, then I have to go find another place to live. And, I work from home most of the time. My work would be disrupted, too.”
Joci looked down at the counter. Her heart was beating like it was trying to burst out of her body. Her vision was blurry from the tears that were threatening to flow. She was fidgeting with her make-up bag and trying to calm herself down.
“Joci?” Jeremiah’s voice was soft. “Look at me, baby.” He sighed.
Joci turned and looked at him. He reached over and slid his hand in her hair at the temple and pulled her close to him.
“I would like for us to build a relationship looking forward. When Jackie and David moved in with each other, don’t you think they had the same concerns? We’ll have disagreements over time, and we’ll have to work through those disagreements. I’m committed to that. Are you?”
Joci looked into his eyes. Those beautiful green eyes never wavered. She took a deep breath.
“Yes, I’m committed to making it work. I just worry about … everything. This is a big step.” Her voice was soft and shaky.
Jeremiah pulled her to his body and wrapped his arms around her to hold her close, hug her, cocoon her in his arms and comfort her. A silent message that he was here and not going anywhere.
After long moments, Joci looked up at him. “I’m sorry, Jeremiah.”
He shook his head, “No need, babe. I know it’s scary for you. For me, I’ve thought about you moving in with me for months. I’m excited as hell for you to be here with me.”
Wow, Joci couldn’t believe this! She didn’t want him to think that she didn’t want to move forward with their relationship.
She took a breath, “How about I make us supper here tonight, and then we can head to The Barn later?”
Jeremiah kissed her lightly. “That sounds amazing, Joci. Thank you.”
They walked together to the kitchen and started making breakfast. Jeremiah had to go to the shop, and Joci had to go home and get some work done today. She would run through her cupboards and see what she had to bring here and stop at the store on her way back to Jeremiah’s if she needed anything else. She thought she could stay at Jeremiah’s the majority of the time and go home in the mornings to work. She wanted to try it that way for a while and see how that worked without making it a permanent move right away.
Jeremiah opened a drawer in the kitchen and handed her a garage door opener. “Keep this with you. Come and go as you like. I’ll have a key made today. Your bike is fine at the shop. I’ll run you home this morning on my way.”
Joci smiled at him. “Thank you.”
* * * * *
At 7:30 that evening, Jeremiah and Joci were in Jeremiah’s truck and heading out to The Barn for a nice evening
out. It had been a beautiful day, but still a little cool in the evening, so they opted for the truck instead of the bike. As soon as they walked into The Barn, Kevin waved at them as he was serving customers at the far end. Jeremiah held Joci’s hand as they walked to the opposite end and took a seat. Kevin finished with his customers and headed their way. Jeremiah got up and walked behind the bar to hug Kevin. Once again, they did their “man hug” thing, and Kevin looked at Joci with a big smile on his face.
“How ya doin’, Joci?”
Joci couldn’t help but giggle at him. “I’m great, Kevin, how are you?”
Kevin held out his arms and looked up. “Livin’ the dream, darling.”
They all laughed. Kevin got them their drinks and told them at 8 o’clock, he had a bartender coming in so he could visit with them. His girlfriend, Kathy, would be here soon to visit as well. Joci was excited to meet her.
They sat at the bar talking, and suddenly Kevin’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Hey, baby, give me some lovin’.” He stretched his arms wide as his smile lit up the room.
A beautiful redhead walked around the end of the bar and wrapped her arms around Kevin, and he swung her around. When her feet were on the ground again, she laid a kiss on him that almost had Joci squirming on her stool. Whoa!
Kevin turned toward Joci. “I want you to meet Kathy. Kathy, this is Joci James, Dog’s girlfriend.”
“Oh, I’ve heard about you, Joci. Kevin’s been excited all weekend that you were coming in to visit. It’s very nice to meet you,” she said with genuine happiness in her voice.
Kathy reached over the bar and shook her hand, and Kevin pointed them all over to the corner of the bar where there was a fireplace and a couple of sofas. Joci hadn’t noticed the fireplace when they walked in. Certainly not when they had been here for the Veteran’s Ride. There had been too many people.
Jeremiah and Joci grabbed their drinks while Kevin and Kathy got drinks for themselves. Kevin told Scott, the bartender, the bar was his for the evening.
