Looking at her now he could feel the heat of her gaze. She wanted him too, said it more than once, but always stayed away to respect his honor. But that didn’t stop the want they both felt and one day soon he knew it would erupt. Jade laughed at something another cop said and when the guy put his hand on her arm in a friendly gesture, he felt like he wanted to rip it off and throw it across the room. The cop whispered something in her ear and she laughed again and said something in return before moving away. Luke watched her head upstairs and wondered if this was a rendezvous in the making. The thought made him burn all the more. No one should touch her. Rodney was sitting comfortably between two women who held his attention quite well. Luke made the decision quickly and headed upstairs. His mind screamed no, but his step still led him upstairs. Rodney’s house mirrored his so it didn’t take much searching. She wasn’t in any of the bedrooms so he knocked on the hallway bathroom door. She cracked it open and peeked out. Before she could say a word he pushed his way inside.
“Hey, Luke, what the hell is the matter with you!” she exclaimed.
“Were you expecting someone else? Maybe that thick-necked fucker from downstairs,” he growled. “In your brother’s place, Jade, seriously?”
“I came in here to freshen up my make-up—nothing more,” she snapped.
“Right, like I didn’t see you whispering to that idiot downstairs. Is he looking for a little slap and tickle at the party?” Luke asked.
She raised her head defiantly. “And what if he was, Luke Carrington, huh? I’m grown. I can do whom I want when I please.”
“Is that what you can do? Didn’t know you were that kind of girl.”
“You wouldn’t know what I am, would you? Luke, you play the ‘hands-off card’ real well so it’s not any of your damn business,” she retorted.
“I still have to look out for you,” Luke said. “Shit, I’ve know you since me and Rodney were in the academy together.”
“Fifteen years. Yes I can count, Luke, but during that time you’ve failed to see I’ve grown the hell up,” Jade replied. “No wait—you’ve seen—you just don’t want to partake, so excuse other people who like what they see on the plate.”
He took her shoulders roughly. “You think I don’t want you, that I don’t wake up with a fucking hard on every time your face pops into my dreams? Your brother is my best friend.”
“So he gets to get his and you get to be the martyr?” Jade shook her head. “Good for you. Let me know how that works out for ya.”
She turned away to look at the mirror, effectively cutting of his conversation. She pulled her lip gloss out and her eyes met his in the reflective glass. “Do you need something else?”
“Yeah, I need something alright.”
Luke turned her to him and devoured her lips in a kiss. Not giving her the opportunity to pull away or even struggle before his lips forced hers open, he thrust his tongue into her mouth. She made an angry sound and slapped at his arms but then she went pliant and buried her fingers in his hair. The kiss was intense, the fire he knew she had within her breaking free. Goddamn she tasted good! He molded her every curve to him and with a sudden surge of passion he lifted her on to the sink, knocking over her make-up bag and the decorative trinkets that were there. He wanted to feel the skin that drove him crazy against his hands and his flesh.
“You feel so damn good, Jade. Let me touch you, just… God, I need to touch you,” he moaned against her neck.
“Yes, please touch me.” She arched her neck to his seeking lips.
His hands were under her silky shirt as soon as the word “yes” came from her lips. He cupped the full globes of her breasts and felt her nipples press into his palms. She felt so good, better that he ever thought possible. Her whimpers in his ear were driving him crazy with need. His hands went down to her thighs to cup the curve of her ass. He could feel the thin edge of her panties and the temptation was too much to resist. His hands left her ass and moved around to the front of her panties and slipped his fingers beneath the scrap of fabric. When he felt her pussy warm, wet, and so hot, he groaned in earnest.
“Yes, Luke, do it. I want your fingers deep inside me,” Jade whispered in his ear before biting the lobe with a sharp nip.
He slipped his digit inside her and she gave a breathy cry. He felt her hands burrow between them to fumble with the buckle of his belt. In the confined space there was little room to maneuver. Her heel was braced on the edge of the counter while he fucked her with his fingers. She was soaking wet. He could feel her cream lathering down his hand. Lord have mercy, he was dying from the pleasure of just having his hand buried between her legs. When she finally got his cock free from its confines, the need intensified ten-fold. She wrapped her fingers around his shaft then leaned her head back against the mirror. Luke sucked at her nipple through the shirt she wore.
“God yes, I’m coming, I’m coming!” She bucked against his hand and stroked his dick faster. He felt his balls tighten as his release built. She cried out and trembled with her release. He buried his head against her chest and groaned when he came in her hand. She continued to stroke him until she had milked him dry. They stayed in that position for minutes, as if trying to on to the tight, frenzied ball of desire that has just taken place. Reality came screaming back into his consciousness and he stepped back suddenly.
“Jesus, what just happened? Jade…”
She pulled her skirt down and gave him a rueful look. “It’s called hot and heavy foreplay with a good screaming orgasm—for us both I might add.”
“Jeez, you’re Rod’s sister…” He felt like he’d done his friend a disservice by doing what he did with his sister in the bathroom. The look on Jade’s face told him that she, on the other hand, was not pleased with his words.
“You are an asshole. That’s why you cops get on my last nerve. This so-called code of honor that you have allows some of those guys down there have their wives and their girlfriends while everyone else turns a blind eye.” He opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off, talking while she furiously fixed her clothes. “Save it, Luke. Hold on to your precious honor code. When you decide to man up, let me know. But it might be too late because I won’t wait for long.”
With that, she opened the bathroom door and went out in a flourish of fabric and indignation. He closed the door and gripped the counter with tight fingers to regain his composure. Her scent was still in the room, that exotic perfume scent that he had only ever smelled on her. Mixed with the scent of sex, it was almost addictive. Luke cleaned himself up as best he could and splashed cold water on his face. He didn’t know how he would manage to face her for the rest of the night. It seemed that wasn’t something he had to worry about because when he went downstairs, she was already gone. He had to admit he saw the reason why, because what was supposed to be a welcome home party had turned into some kind of orgy. The very same cops who left their wives at home were openly making out with the girlfriends they had brought.
Rodney walked up with an arm around two women. “Hey man, Jade just left and the real party can start. The life of the free and single man, that’s what we have.”
Luke raised his eyebrow at Rodney’s grin. “A lot of these guys aren’t single.”
“I don’t protect their moral compass.” Rodney squeezed the women next to him. “Now, which one do you want?”
Luke patted him on the shoulder. “You keep them both. I’m heading home.”
Rodney shrugged. “You don’t know what you’re missing.”
“Yes I do.” Luke winked and walked out into the cold night
He thought of Jade and how she tasted, the way her pussy clenched around his fingers when he dipped them inside her. She came so hard her body shook and he wanted to feel that again. He knew what he wanted, what he was missing, and it was her. His mind was set. He knew the whole time he had been using his friendship with Rodney as an excuse. Seeing what he saw just now, he realized it for the first time. Or was it because he could st
ill hear her gasping his name? There was nothing to hold him back now. Jade was his and his alone.
* * * *
Two nights later, Jade was still steaming over Luke and his so-called honor code. She knew that none of these guys were infallible and only he had this code which made him so infuriating. And so fucking sexy, she thought. As much as she wanted his body, she adored his entire personality. Jade sat and looked out at the bundled up people moving around outside on the street below her apartment and took a sip of her wine. Even though it was cold, the Boston nightlife was jumping. But she saw past them and only could see Luke’s face. His dark hair was entirely too long but the way he wore it flattered his face. She knew a man should never be called beautiful but he certainly was. He had a face that seemed to be chiseled yet smoothed with care by a sculptor out of granite. A crooked grin that lit up his beautiful blue eyes but those eyes could hold hardness and anger just as easily. She remembered that look when Rodney had been shot and Luke faced her at the hospital and that look tore into her.
They were friends—she got that—but what she didn’t understand was why Luke had such a loyalty to her brother. She, by far, learned from a very early age Rodney was someone to look up to and she loved him for the big brother he was. He was a great cop and he would do anything for her, or anyone he loved, but Rodney was no martyr. Her brother could be a down-right slut when it came to women. She was honestly sick of doing the dance with Luke. They circled each other like mating animals but never took it further. She wished she could just say fuck it and move on to the next one. But when you’re in love it’s hard to see past the object of your desire. Jade sighed. Yup, she was in love with Luke.
A knock on the door surprised her. She wasn’t expecting anyone. This evening she planned to stay home and wallow in her depression in front of the TV, comforting herself with a big bowl of ice cream with some crumbled chocolate as a garnish. Jade wasn’t one who usually let self pity take over, but the cold damp weather of the day had done little to improve her mood after the other night’s latest episode with Luke. She was in no frame of mind for guests so when she opened the door and saw him standing there, she soured a little more.
“What do you want?” Jade asked.
“You should really ask who it is before you open the door, or at least look through the peephole,” Luke said.
“Yeah, thanks for the lesson in safety, Officer Carrington.” Sarcasm laced her voice and she tipped her hand in a mock salute. “You’ve done your good deed for the day.”
“I’m just saying…”
“Is there some reason that you’re here other than to lecture me?” she snapped.
“I wanted to talk to you.”
“That’s tough luck for you. Then. ‘Bye.” Jade started to close the door but he stopped it with his hand.
“Be reasonable, Jade?” Luke asked.
“Like you’ve been for how many years?” Jade asked. “Luke, I’m done. Done with the playing, the push-me-pull-you scenario. I’m moving on and being realistic so bye, catch you at the summer barbeque.”
“So you’re saying that some other guy will be touching you, tasting you like I did?” His voice was harsh.
She felt her temper rising. “Like I said before—what concern is it of yours who I do or when? You do get that, right, Luke?”
He ran his hand through his hair and gave a frustrated sigh before leveling her with a blue-eyed stare. “I came here to talk to you and we get into it. You are the most infuriating woman I have ever met, you know that?”
“Glad to oblige.”
“Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?”
“Let’s go for hard. Why should I make it easy for you, Luke?”
“Fine, if that’s how you want it.”
His words were said on a growl as he moved towards her. Jade instinctively stepped back but he captured her in powerful arms, lifting her off her feet before fusing his lips with hers. She held on tight while he strode into the room and kicked the door closed with his foot. Without putting her down or missing a beat, he held her with one arm and turned the lock.
She looked at Luke, his eyes glittered with desire and she felt so hot just from one kiss. “What’s gotten into you, Luke?”
“You wanted the hard way, now you’ve got it.” He kissed her ravenously before sinking his hand in her hair and pulling her head back. “Say yes. I dare you—say yes.”
“Yes.”
The word was barely out of her mouth before he took her lips and she was lost in the swirling heat that consumed her. Luke strode over to the table and with one swipe, he knocked everything off its smooth surface. He sat her down on the edge of the table. It faced the window where the blinds were open.
“Let me close the shades,” she whispered against his lips.
“No, leave them. If someone sees me fucking you, so be it. They’ll know you’re mine,” he said. “I’m going to take you on this table and I don’t give a damn who sees.”
Jade had to admit the thought of someone looking at them from the many apartments across the street excited her all the more. His hands were rough as he stripped the shirt from her skin. When he took her lips in a ravenous kiss there was nothing that was left to the imagination. He was going to take her tonight. The rest of her clothes were gone under his expert fingers in an instant. She hurriedly helped him rid himself of his until they were gloriously naked and she could feel the heat of his skin against hers. Every sensation was so intense. All she could feel was his lips against hers and his tongue invading her mouth. He tasted so good. Than man was addictive, from the way he touched her breasts down to when he grabbed her legs and wrapped them around him. While his lips ravished hers, Jade feasted on him. She wanted more. Oh, God all mighty, she wanted it all from him.
“I want you, Jade. I dreamt of taking you every which way. Fucking you from behind or having you ride my cock until you scream,” he muttered against her lips. “I want to taste your come on my lips and feel you take my cock in your mouth.”
She gasped at his words, knowing exactly what he meant. There was many a night she woke up gasping, heated and flushed after dreaming about him. His fingers worked methodically against her nipples. Making them so hard they ached.
“You are making me hot as hell,” Jade said breathlessly, “Take care of the ache, Luke please. I can hardly think right now.”
“I don’t want to hurt you but I’m losing all control here,” Luke explained. She could feel his touch turn intense almost feverish. “I have never seen skin so dark and creamy as yours. I see how some of the other guys watch you, wanting to touch you, but you’ve always been mine.”
Luke bent over her until she back was against the table. She could feel the chill of it against her skin. He took her nipple in his mouth and Jade gasped in pleasure. She arched her back, pushing her smooth globe deeper into his mouth, begging him to take more.
“Ah yes,” she moaned and held his head to her.
“I have to taste your pussy. I’ve thought of nothing else since last night,” he growled when he lifted his head from her breast.
Jade spread her legs to invite him to take what he needed. He dropped to his knees and feasted on her spread out on the table. His hands were against the smooth skin of her stomach while his hot breath was on her pussy.
“God yes, taste me,” she whispered.
Luke needed no other encouragement. Jade heard his triumphant moan as he buried his face between her legs. She arched and cried out, his tongue licking at her pussy. His fingers touched and penetrated, sliding into her and she felt nothing but intense pleasure. Jade held on to the edges of the table while he tasted her. On every breath a moan escaped her lips. Jade experienced pleasure unlike anything she had ever felt. She raised her hips, pressing herself more intimately against his lips. She cried his name when he sucked on her clit, sensation assaulting her body until she didn’t know if she could stand it.
“I’m coming, Oh God I’m coming—”
Her fingers grabbed at his hair while her body came apart in ecstasy under his mouth.
“I want you inside me, Luke baby. Fuck me!” Jade cried out.
Luke helped her off the table and turned her so that her legs were spread and her stomach lay flat where her back had been moments before. She felt his hand against the curve of her ass and the tip of his cock poised at the entrance of her pussy. Then the engorged head of him penetrate her. The width of his rod stretched her and when he was finally buried deep inside her, she moaned his name. He pulled her against him, pounding inside her, the guttural way he said her name giving her goose bumps. He lifted her from the table until her back was against his chest and she was impaled on his cock. Even then, he was still able to thrust into her repeatedly.
“Oh Damn, that is so good!” She leaned her head back against him and let the tumultuous pleasure roll through her. His hands squeezed and massaged her breasts as he filled her. Luke’s hand slid down her body between her legs and rubbed her sensitive clit while he fucked her.
“This is how you want me, huh? Hard inside you, rubbing that sweet pussy until you come,” Luke murmured. “You feel so good, Jade. Do you want to come for me all over my cock?”
“Oh yes, oh yes!” Jade almost screamed. The sensation of his ministrations to her clit and his cock inside her was almost more than she could bear.
He bent her over the table again and while he continued to play with her clit his thrusts became more feverish and she could feel his cock throb inside her. Jade came hard, her body shaking beneath him and her orgasm sent him over the edge.
“You are so hot and tight, darling.” Luke kissed her back. “You’re mine now, always were mine.”
“More.” Jade looked back at him over her shoulder. “Give me more. Fuck me harder.”
Luke pulled out of her and positioned her once more on her back. With her legs over his shoulders, he grabbed her hips and pumped into her this time their eyes locked on each other. She watched as he gritted his teeth, his neck arched and the corded muscles of his neck tightened. The pleasure was so great it was almost torment to watch him and feel what he was doing to her. She could feel her body reaching for completion. It was like a dam broke after the many years they had waited to have each other. Jade screamed as her body shook from the intensity of her orgasm.
