A Road to Let Go (Fallen Tuesday #4) (22 page)

(20)

Jake hoped he wasn
’
t making another mistake. He had
enough lined up in his life that the last thing he needed was to hurt anyone
else. Especially a woman like Mel. She had nothing to do with Jake, with the
band, or with any of the Chloe drama.

But she was just too beautiful to
not be near.

The driver asked Mel where she
lived. She spouted off her address and that was the only interaction for the
rest of the drive. The ride from the club to Mel
’
s
place didn
’
t take long. Mel
felt so good cuddled against his body. She must have felt the same, because she
started to close her eyes. He didn
’
t
want Mel to fall asleep. His mind and body had other intentions. He wasn
’
t sure if that was right or
wrong, but he knew he wasn
’
t
planning on having a one night stand with Mel.

At her place, Mel led the way.

They climbed the steps and at the
door, Mel put her key in the lock and stopped.

“
Jake
…”

“
What
’
s wrong?
”
he asked.

“
I
’
m not rich,
”
Mel said. She looked back at
him.
“
I
’
m not rich at all.
”

“
So
what?
”

“
My
place is a loft. I have no rooms. There
’
s
not even a bedroom. Just a giant floor. The only room is the bathroom. You
know?
”

Jake smiled. He touched Mel
’
s face, his thumb rubbing her
cheek.
“
If you think for a
second I would judge you, just don
’
t.
I think you
’
re beautiful
and pretty tough to do what you
’
ve
done. To give up your life to try and find your father. It
’
s an amazing thing.
”

Jake put his hand to Mel
’
s and turned her hand and the
key.

Mel opened the door and turned on a
light.

The place truly was a loft. A huge
open loft. They walked into the kitchen area and right beyond that was the
living room area. Jake thought the apartment was actually really neat. He could
see himself living in a place like this with a ton of guitars and amps.

“
This
is my home for now,
”
Mel
said.

Jake let the door shut and he
locked it. Mel took a step and Jake grabbed for her hand. He spun her around
and pulled her close.

“
I
like it here,
”
Jake said.
“
I like being here with you.
”

“
I
think I
’
m almost drunk,
”
Mel said.

“
Is
that a bad thing?
”

“
No.
”

“
Are
you going to regret anything?
”
Jake asked cautiously.

“
Nope."

“
So
if I carry you to that couch over there
…”

Mel jumped up. Jake caught her and
now she looked into his eyes. Jake
’
s
heart pounded. He felt like he was about to step on stage in front of forty
thousand people. But he wasn
’
t.
There was an audience of one. Mel's beautiful eyes stared into his as her
desire radiated from her body.

“
Wow,
”
he whispered.

“
Have
your answer?
”
Mel asked.

Jake kissed her. Once. Twice. Then
his tongue flickered against her lips. Mel kissed him right back, with force,
her tongue playfully digging at his lips, wanting more. So Jake gave her more.
He kissed her hard and walked until he crashed into a table. There he sat Mel
down and with his hands at the top of her ass, he pulled, making damn sure her
body was tight against his. He wanted her to feel him. Through his jeans, he
knew she
’
d feel what her
desire was doing to him.

In between kisses, Mel kissed the
tip of Jake
’
s nose and
said,
“
This isn
’
t the couch.
”

“
I
know,
”
Jake said.
“
Couldn
’
t help myself right now.
”

“
Help
yourself all you want,
”
Mel
said.

Jake squeezed tighter. He stood and
lifted Mel. He kissed her gently, once, and then played with the tip of his
nose against hers.

“
Remember
who you
’
re talking to,
sweetheart,
”
Jake warned.
“
I don
’
t play around like that
…”

“
Who
said I was playing?
”

“
That
’
s my point.
”

“
Make
your point, Jake.
”

Jake felt his lip curl. She was
tempting, teasing, her eyes dripping with sensual need and the way she bit her
bottom lip made it clear to Jake that this was what she wanted. Drinks or not.
Rockstar or not. Whether she was getting lost for a night or for a lifetime,
this moment had come for a reason.

When Jake walked toward the couch
he noticed the bed to his right. His path changed instantly. He lowered Mel to
the bed and then took one step backward, giving her chance to change her mind.

Mel sat up and made her decision.
She grabbed Jake
’
s belt and
pulled him close. She lifted his shirt with one hand and placed her lips to his
stomach. As she kissed him, Jake throbbed. He was aching almost painfully in
his pants, a feeling that hadn
’
t
come in a long time. He reached down and pulled at Mel
’
s shirt. She lifted her arms and he fought it off
her body. Mel rushed to open his pants and Jake gently took her hands and
placed them on the bed.

He bent down and put his forehead
to hers.
“
This is all mine.
Including you.
”

Mel moaned and swallowed hard.
“
Okay.
”

Jake put a hand to Mel
’
s back. Her warm, soft skin made
his tense up. His hand slid up to the clasp of her bra. An old trick became
handy as Jake flicked his fingers once and her bra was undone. Mel
’
s eyes widened and she gasped.

“
You
’
re messing around with a
rockstar,
”
Jake said.
“
Don
’
t forget that, sweetheart.
”

“
I
’
ll never forget
…”

“
Good.
”

Jake kissed Mel deeply. He ran his
hand around to the front of her body, moving under her open bra until he cupped
her left breast. She was simply perfect. Her breast was the size of his hand.
Each time Jake gently squeezed, Mel moaned in his mouth. He then cupped under
her breast and with his thumb, he flicked across her erect nipple. Mel jumped
and let out a whimpering scream.

Jake's hands moved to Mel
’
s back and behind her head. He
guided her down to the bed. She tried to grip the sheets, but Jake pulled at
her unclasped bra, easing it along her arms. He threw it to the floor and
looked down at her body. She was like a dream lying there in bed, wearing jeans
and nothing else. Jake felt like a giant hovering over her and he loved it. He
moved down and kissed Mel
’
s
mouth one more time before moving down to her neck. Mel put a hand to the back
of Jake
’
s head, clawing at
him. Jake kept going. He slithered his way down and at her breasts, he stopped
for a moment. He cupped her again and nuzzled his nose against her hard nipple.
When he flicked his tongue, Mel jumped.

“
It
’
s okay, sweetheart,
”
Jake said.

“
I
know,
”
Mel said.
“
Oh, Jake, it feels
…”

Jake kissed Mel
’
s breast. He teased her for a
few seconds, making her back arch. Then he opened his mouth and tasted her
breast. He then kissed across her chest to her other breast. She tasted great,
but there was more to enjoy.

Down Mel
’
s body Jake continued his journey.

Her stomach fluttered with his
kisses and at her belly button, Mel jumped and let out a breathless giggle.

He opened her jeans and wasted no
time in pulling them down. Jake got on his knees as he took off Mel
’
s shoes and her pants. From his
angle, it was breathtaking. All that separated him from Mel was her dark blue
panties. He touched her knees and slowly moved his hands up. Mel opened her
legs and her hands gripped the bed sheets. It made Jake smile. She was talking
to him without saying a word. He body was commanding him and Jake was just fine
with that.

Between her legs, Jake pressed his
right thumb against Mel
’
s
panties. He applied pressure and massaged in small circles. Mel
’
s body shivered and she moaned.
She thrust hard and Jake felt himself throb even harder in his pants. He wouldn
’
t be able to wait much longer.

He gripped the top of Mel
’
s panties and pulled. Mel lifted
her lower half, and her panties came down. The scent of Mel
’
s body overcame Jake
’
s senses. When he saw her
beautiful curve and ready sex of her body, Jake groaned. He gritted his teeth
and placed two fingers to Mel. He made the same small circular movement, only
this time when he added pressure, he moved into Mel.

“
Jake
…”
Mel hissed.

Jake put his other hand to the
inside of Mel
’
s leg and
squeezed. Jake watched his fingers slide into Mel
’
s
sweet body. He pulled out and watched Mel
’
s
body moving, wanting him again. Tempted, Jake moved forward and placed his lips
just below Mel
’
s belly
button. Mel gasped. The tip of his tongue sought her, tasted her, and it was more
than Jake could handle.

He kissed up Mel
’
s body and then moved from the
bed. Mel climbed up the bed and remained there, completely nude, unafraid of
her own body. To Jake, that was incredibly sexy and beautiful all in the same.

Jake took his shirt off and then his
pants. It was obvious he was aroused, ready for Mel.

“
The
drawer next to the bed,
”
Mel whispered.
“
Don
’
t ask or judge me.
”

Jake opened the drawer and there
was a box of condoms. It was opened, but none were missing. For some reason
that turned Jake on too. He didn
’
t
know why.

Jake took a condom from the drawer
and sheathed himself. He climbed onto the bed and pulled at the covers. Mel
lifted the lower half of her body, touching Jake
’
s
body as she did so. He gritted his teeth and ached for Mel even more. Jake
tossed the covers over himself and came down, kissing Mel.

The taste of her lips, the feel of
her body, was overwhelming. Jake touched himself to Mel. He was right there and
with one thrust, he began to enter Mel. She opened her mouth and sighed,
closing her eyes as she accepted Jake. He moved deeper into Mel and looked
down, watching their bodies come together. Jake thrusted deep and then looked
into Mel
’
s eyes.

They didn
’
t need to speak to know the chemistry that was
there. Mel
’
s bottom lip
shuddered and Jake kissed it. He kissed her mouth and began to love Mel
’
s body. He pulled and pushed,
starting gentle. He was thorough, moving in and out of Mel with passion. Mel
’
s hand touched his back, her
fingers digging. She moved her hands down to his ass and that was enough for
Jake.

He thrust forward with more force.
Mel moaned and her body jumped. He loved it. Jake locked his elbows and thrust
harder and faster. The harder Jake thrust, the more Mel moved. They were
perfect together in this moment. When Mel arched her back, Jake put his mouth
down to her chest. Mel pulled at his hair, whispering his name.

Jake touched Mel
’
s waist and slid his hands down.
He held her hips and pulled as he came forward. Mel reached up over her head,
leaving nothing to be unseen. It was one of the sexiest moments of his life,
and that meant a lot considering the women he had met across the country. Her
nails dug into Jake's shoulders. He could feel her body reacting and the look
in her eyes was desperate and full of pleasure.

“
Kiss
me,
”
she whispered.
“
I
’
m
finishing
…
please, kiss me
…”

Jake eased Mel back down to the
bed. He lowered his entire body to hers and kissed her. He kept one hand on her
hip and the other behind her head. Jake had never felt like this before. This
wasn
’
t sex. He was making
love to Mel.

As Mel reached a climax, her mouth
opened and Jake kept his mouth on hers. Her warm breath, whimpering moans, and
flickering of her tongue brought Jake to the edge of his own finish. He couldn
’
t believe how it attacked him,
but when it did, he thrust and held there, letting go.
