Where You Can Find Me by Fiona Cole
Epilogue
“Jameson,help Jack with that last box,” I yelled from the open front door.
“Which box?” he yelled back.
“The one marked ‘bedroom.’ If you aren’t sure, just open it up. It should have all of our sex toys inside. Beware of the anal beads, though.”
“Lu, you’re fucking disgusting.”
“Hey, don’t judge a girl for her anal beads. Some girls are into it. Hell, I got them for her,” Evie said with a wink in Jameson’s direction. He stomped off, mumbling about how Evie would be the death of him. I still wasn’t sure what was going on with the two of them. But a heavy tension filled the room every time they were together.
Strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind. Fear no longer choked me when someone snuck up on me. Jack’s lips sucked on my ear, and a deep rumble vibrated from his chest to my back. “Are you sure this is what you want, Lu? Because once I’m here, I’m not backing out. You’ll need a court order to remove me from this house.”
I closed my eyes, leaning back into his warmth, happiness stretching my lips into the smile that never failed to appear when he was around.
I turned in his arms and wrapped mine around his neck. My fingers intertwined with his thick hair, and I pulled his lips to mine for a heated kiss.
“I don’t want you anywhere else. You may need a court order to leave.”
“Sounds like we’ll be saving money on not needing any lawyers.”
“See, we’re already nailing this living together thing. Now, what should we use all that extra money on?”
“I’m thinking some new clothes.”
“Of all the things I expected you to say, that wasn’t it,” I said, laughing.
“I just think you’d look fantastic in a white dress. Maybe with something sparkling on your finger to match.”
“Jack…” I pulled back enough to meet his eyes, hoping we weren’t joking anymore. Because if he was, I would sick Evie on him, and then I would lay into him. But all I saw was an even gaze filled with promise.
“I just want to let you know where my head is at—what I want.”
I bit my lip to at least try and contain my out of control smile and nodded. “Another thing we have in common. I was just thinking the same thing.”
“Forever sounds good to me.”
“It sounds perfect.”
This was where we belonged.
This was where I belonged—with the man I loved in my arms, and my family surrounding me.
This was and always would be where you could find me.
Evelyn
My heels clackedacross the floor with authority as I followed him. “So, are we all alone? What a dream come true,” I purred, getting close enough to him to drag my fingers along his shoulder. The quick rise and fall of his back was my hint that he may not have been as unaffected by my touch as he wanted me to believe.
He stood to dislodge my hand, glancing at my breasts on the way up. The way his eyes lingered there gave me a rush of victory. When I pushed my chest out more, he lifted his eyes and flushed, knowing he was caught. Rather than saying anything, he continued staring at me, waiting for my next move. He knew I wasn’t done.
I licked my lips, bringing his attention to my mouth. I lifted my hand up to his broad shoulder and slowly dragged it down his pecs and ripped abs, wondering how far he would let me go. Would I be able to make it all the way and feel what this man kept hidden in his pants? Adrenaline tingled through my limbs at the possibility.
My hand made it to the button of his jeans before his snapped out to grip my wrist almost painfully.
I stepped into his space, letting my breasts brush against his abdomen. Even with my five-inch heels, I felt tiny compared to him. “Be rough with me, baby.” I breathed.
“I don’t feel like playing your games, Evelyn. So stop,” he reprimanded in his deep baritone voice. Yet, he hadn’t stepped away from me. The room wasn’t huge, but I had slipped between him and the wall and didn’t have much room to move. He, however, had all the space to walk away.
“C’mon, Jamie-Boy. I could make you feel so much better.” I used the nickname, hoping it would break his tension. I added a swirl of my hips into his to push it one step further.
Apparently, that was the final straw with Jameson because the next thing I knew, I was shoved against the wall behind me with his hands in my hair and his lips firmly planted on mine, the thick stubble on his cheeks abrading me. I was grateful I let my long hair hang loose today. If not, I would have missed the feeling of his thick fingers pulling at it to tip my head back and attack my lips.
For a moment, I remained still at the shock of having Jameson’s lips pressed to mine. We had played this game for so long, I never thought it would push him to this. I assumed he would lose his temper, but I never thought he would finally cave and kiss me like this. I pushed the shock aside, not knowing how long this would last, and became an active participant.
I opened my lips and let his tongue brush against mine, encouraging him to push further. I wanted him to taste my desire. If he needed something to take his mind off of whatever stress he had with Luella, then I was willing to be that something.
Luella.What would this do to my friendship with her? I hesitated only a moment before I pushed all other thoughts aside, knowing our friendship wouldn’t change no matter what. Hoes before bros and all that.
He pulled back for a breath, and I reached forward and bit his bottom lip, soothing it with a lick before sucking it back into my mouth. I had stared at his full lips for so long, I wanted to take the opportunity to commit them to memory and cherish every second of this kiss. Heat consumed me, and need spread through me.
I needed his hands on me.
I needed my hands on him.
I needed more.
