"I am sorry, Suzy. I am going to have to meet your family some other time."
She slumped back into her seat and sat her fork down on her plate, trying unsuccessfully not to pout. Jacob reached over and tucked her damp hair behind her ear.
"I got a call from my lawyer while you were in the shower. He needs me to look over so paperwork about that incident."
She was not mad at Jacob, but she knew if they waited, she would lose her nerve. Introducing him to her family was a huge step for their relationship. She knew he understood that. He was the one who had asked her to marry him.
He placed his fingers under her chin and angled her face towards him. "You're not mad at me, are you?"
She shook her head and smiled. "Of course not. You take care of what you have to do so we don't have to worry about that anymore."
He nodded once and turned his attention back to his food. "Eat."
She watched him take a few bites before picking up her fork. They ate in silence. She did not mind because she was too busy shoving food into her mouth. Jacob was an amazing cook. One of his many talents.
Later Jacob washed their plates as she retreated to his bedroom to get dressed. She pulled on her favorite pair of ripped jeans and a white tank top. She grabbed a brush from her purse was running it through her hair when she heard the door squeak open behind her. Jacob stood in the doorway leaning against the frame. His eyes raked over her body and she felt her face flush.
"What?" She asked with a grin as he slowly walked towards her. He stopped just inches from her, his hand reaching out and tracing her jaw.
"I do not deserve you." His eyes searched hers and she could not help but smile. His hand slipped into her wet hair and pulled her face closer to his. Their lips brushed against each others.
She sucked in a quick breath, the anticipation of touching him grew overwhelming. She leaned forward and kissed him quickly. His fingers knotted in her hair as he moaned into her mouth. her body sagged against his as she parted her lips and let him explore her mouth further.
His kisses were hungry, and she could feel her lips swelling as his kisses became more demanding. His free hand slipped down her back, trailing along her spine until they reached the waist of her jeans.
He pulled back, resting his forehead against hers, catching his breath.
"I have to go. I will be back as soon as I can."
She nodded her head against his, her eyes closed, as she tried to recover from his touch. He pulled back slightly and traced her bottom lip with his thumb.
"I love you, Suzy." His eyes burned into hers and his words had a direct connection to every part of her body.
"I love you, Jacob." His lips crushed into hers hard. His hand grabbed her ass and pulled her tightly against him. A moan escaped her lips as she felt just how badly he wanted her.
"Do you have to leave now?" she asked, her eyes glancing up to the ceiling. He smiled devilishly, obviously contemplating taking her to the third floor.
"I have to do this now. I promise you, we have all the time in the world." His forehead fell back against hers as they both took a minute to steady their breathing. His tongue shot out and swiped across his bottom lip. She nearly melted in his arms. "I will not be long."
She nodded again and swallowed back her desire.
Jacob kissed her quickly on the cheek and left the bedroom. A moment later, the front door opened and closed, the lock clicking into place behind him. She missed him already.
She made her way into the living room and plopped down on the couch, running her hand over the cushions and smiling. She could not keep the dirty thoughts of last night's events out of her mind. She sighed and relaxed her head against the cushion. It was getting harder and harder to be away from him. She finally felt like herself.
After her parents died, she never thought she would feel happiness again. She pushed the thought from her mind. She had someone to share her life with now. She smiled at the idea of Jacob meeting her family. Her stomach was full of butterflies. It did not matter to her what she thought of him, though. She was ready to move on with her life.
She grabbed the remote and clicked on the television. She flicked through the channels absentmindedly, settling on an old movie. It was just background noise. Her thoughts were consumed by Jacob.
She wanted to know everything about him. She wanted to know what made him smile she wanted to know everything. She decided to lie down on the couch and let her eyes glaze over as she watched the television.
The sound of the lock turning startled her and she sat straight up, yawning as she stretched. 'How long had I been asleep?'
Jacob slipped inside and locked the door behind him. His eyes caught hers and he smiled slightly. He tossed a stack of papers from his lawyer onto the table. She stood and made her way around the couch towards him.
He took three large strides and his body was against hers. His arms wove around her waist and he lifted her effortlessly against him. Her lips found his hungrily. He turned and planted her back hard against the wall, pulling her legs around his hips. She panted in between kisses as his body pushed against hers.
She ached for his touch. Her body craved him like a drug. His fingers dug into her sides and she almost squealed in pain. His hips rotated against her again and the only sound that left her was a moan of pure pleasure. She tossed her head back against the wall and dug her fingers into his muscular shoulders. His lips trailed down her throat hungrily.
"Tell her you want me, Suzy." His mouth never stopped moving against her skin.
"Ohh… I want you." She panted as he pushed against her again, moaning as he did. His hand slipped under her shirt and skimmed along her breast. I arched her back approvingly. He was being rough, but she would be lying if she said his aggressive nature did not turn her on.
There was something dangerous about Jacob that made him irresistible. His lips found their way to hers again and he released her, his fingers worked quickly to undo her jeans. He slipped them down over her hips as she wiggled to free herself from them.
She reached for his belt to undress him, but he grabbed her hands, pushing them above her head. She bucked her hips out toward him, but he moved, not letting her make the connection. His mouth hovered over hers. His lips grazed her cheek as they made their way to her ear. He nibbled gently on her earlobe. her body was set on fire.
"Please!" She begged. She wanted him against her. Her body ached for him to be inside of her. She felt his lips curl into a smile.
"I love it when you beg." His voice was husky and full of lust.
"Please," she whispered, letting her eyes flutter closed. His hips found hers again. He pulled back from her slightly. His eyes grew serious.
"I would do anything for you, anything."
