Page 45 of Love Unbound
“God damn,” he growled from over her and tugged tight on her curls, pulling her off him, panting. His aquamarine gaze was hot as he stared into her own. His breathing was ragged. “Get up here.”
She smiled and stood, her skirt riding up around her hips as he pulled her so that she straddled him, her knees on the smooth wood of the seat. Free’s hands tangled once more into her hair, pulling her mouth to his and kissing her deeply, hungrily, and she moaned when his tongue spiraled into her mouth to taste all of her.
Raising up on her knees, she positioned herself above him and then slowly sank down onto his rock-hard cock, her head falling back as she sighed, “Oh, yes.”
Free’s hands bracketed her hips, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her ass cheeks as she began to move over him. Their mouths met again fiercely, kissing deeply. Free’s mouth fell from hers and he let his head fall back to rest against the back of the chair, his eyes raking over all of her as she moved over him. His hands tugged at the shirt at her waist, pulling it up and over her head, tossing it away and then cupping her breasts through the lacy bra she wore in his hands. One of Jodi’s hands was braced behind her on his knee, the other clasped his shoulder for leverage as her thighs began to burn.
“Don’t stop,” Free growled through clenched teeth thatshowed up whiteley against his tanned face. “Don’t stop until you come all over this cock.”
Silvery moonlight illuminated his face for Jodi, and she cried out as her legs started to shake with her impending orgasm. Free reached between them, finding her clit with his fingers, and after a few strokes Jodi exploded like a firework. She felt more than heard Free’s growl of approval, and then his hands grasped her hips tightly again as he pounded upward into her, quickly coming to his own culmination with a fierce groan. Jodi fell forward onto his chest, burying her face in the side of his neck, her thighs trembling and her breathing ragged.
Free’s fingers trailed along the curve of her spine as they both regained their breath. Jodi shivered; the night air cool against her naked skin. Free turned his head and pressed a kiss to her forehead, and Jodi smiled against the skin of his neck, satiated and content in Free’s embrace.
After long minutes, Jodi gasped a soft moan and brought her eyes to his. He grinned wolfishly, shifting his hips beneath her even as he grew hard inside her again. “Ready for round two?”
Chapter 33
“Three eggs over easy, biscuits and gravy, a side of ham, and… ah let’s throw on some wheat toast as well.”
Free, flashing a smile at the unsuspecting waitress, closed his menu and handed it to her as she stood at the side of their booth. The poor girl stuttered, asking Jodi what she wanted, and after Jodi placed her order of French toast, the young woman hurried away, her cheeks flaming red.
“It’s not fair, you know. How you dazzle women,” Jodi teased, opening a single serve French vanilla creamer to add to her coffee.
Free rested his forearms on the laminate tabletop, leaning forward slightly and then grinned at her, making those damn butterflies that were never far away take flight. “Do I dazzle you, Jodi?”
“Routinely,” Jodi breathed with a smile.
“Good,” he whispered back, before leaning back in his booth seat and picking up his coffee cup to take a drink.
Free had woken early again, slipping out of bed and leaving the house before Jodi was awake to head to Shane’s for morning chores. When he returned, Jodi was awake and drinking a cup of coffee while watching reruns ofFriends. He’d instructed her to get dressed, because he was taking her out for breakfast before her afternoon shift at the bookstore.
“By the way, Gram and Papa are having their annual Labor Day barbeque on Monday,” Jodi said, raising her coffee to her lips and taking a sip. “The entire Storm and Kendall clan willbe there. I’ll never hear the end of it if we don’t make an appearance. I can’t deny Mom the chance to feed you. And I’m sure Dad will have his usual horseshoe tournament.”
Free grinned, taking another drink of his own coffee. “Are you asking me out to a family function, Ms. Kendall?”
“I do believe that is what I’m attempting to do,” Jodi teased, smiling. “Though I feel like you have an unfair advantage meeting the family; you already know everyone.”
“I’d love to go,” Free said and winked.
The waitress came by with a tray laden with food, and Free thanked the young woman, who blushed again as she set their plates down before them. Jodi giggled as the girl rushed away. “I told you.”
“Well, it’s a good thing I’m not trying to dazzle anyone except the beautiful woman sitting in front of me,” Free whispered as he unwrapped his silverware, placing the napkin in his lap.
Jodi laughed. “I may have to fight for you. You’ve dazzled half the women in this diner already.”
Grasping her hand in his, he pulled it to his lips to kiss the backs of her knuckles. “I’m all yours, baby.”
When they finished their meal, Free paid and they exited the diner hand-in-hand. As he drove them back to Jodi’s, one of his hands held hers captive while the other was draped loosely over the steering wheel. Jodi glanced at him from beneath her lashes, admiring his handsomeness. In this moment, she couldn’t help but think how incredibly perfect her life was.
As they pulled into Jodi’s driveway, she gasped, sitting straighter in her seat. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Free braked the truck next to Jodi’s Jeep, cutting the engine.
Scrambling out of the passenger seat, she closed the door of Free’s truck and ran around to the front of her Jeep, where the hood was propped open. Jodi’s mouth fell open and she looked over at Free as he came around the hood of his truck toward her.
The car battery was missing, and several of the hoses and wires had been cut.
Jodi stared down into the empty space where the battery should be for several long heartbeats. Clenching her fists so tight they hurt, her arms ramrod straight at her sides, she screamed, “Fucking asshole!”
