Stolen Hearts (Thoroughbred Men Book 2) (7 page)

              Millie spent the afternoon searching through houses online. She picked out four in a local area, not too far from the precinct so Jacob would not have a long commute to work. All had different qualities and features, maybe one would strike his fancy, she thought.

              Millie had not yet replied to his last email, she had been putting it off and thinking about it at the back of her mind all day.  Danielle returned shortly after Jacob left, asking if she was all right or if she wanted to talk about it. Millie declined both offers, thanked her for the photos and uploaded the photos for the newest house.

              Danielle finished up for the afternoon and announced she was heading out. Millie said she would not be long afterwards and would lock up. She was going to reply to his email, she just hadn't decided on how yet.

              She sat alone at her computer, chewing on a pencil, for quite some time thinking on how she would ‘get him’ interested. Did she want him interested? Oh yes, even if she felt like a clumsy person around him. He was making her life interesting and she liked being around him. She couldn't wait to see him on Saturday and hated to admit it.

Jacob,

              Thank you so much for lunch and the flowers, that was extremely kind of you. Glad to hear you like red and pearls. Red would make an interesting color for a front door or a dining room. As for the pearls, not sure on that one-maybe in a light fixture or a decor? I am a pretty simple person myself. I like to have one striking feature in a home to make it feel welcome. Sometimes it's not necessarily a room, but more the ‘idea’ of that room, you know? Like showers…a shower serves a function. You could get a shower stall, a tub/shower combo, but a two-person shower incites all sorts of ideas…doesn’t it?

Just saying,

Millie

              Millie was blushing furiously and could not believe she was going to send that email. It was getting late out and she would not be able to see the response until morning, unless she logged in at home? Hmmm, that was an idea. She was very curious to see how he would respond and how fast.

              Her email would plant the seed of thought in his mind that had been growing in hers. She couldn't help it. When they talked about bedrooms and bathrooms, Jacobs’s response and interest had her thinking along a whole new path. She pictured the two of them in a shower together and was completely turned on all afternoon.  She kept picturing water running down his chest and wanted to see more. She wondered if the rest of his body was as tanned as his face and hands?

              Millie bravely clicked send. She grabbed her purse and left the office to head home to her place. It was a fifteen-minute drive through town and she was counting the seconds looking at the clock. She clicked send at 6:21 PM and was extremely curious how he fast would respond.

              Jacob was at the store, picking up a large tablecloth for a picnic he intended to surprise Millie with when he phone dinged. He resisted the urge to read it there in the store, but quickly paid and left. He opened the email, read it and groaned aloud. She was teasing him with a dual shower and he could just imagine soaping up her body and her hair cascading down her back. Jacob had to adjust himself as he could feel his erection grow.

              Jacob drove home quickly with the intent of responding to the email, or taking care of himself to relieve some of the pressure she was causing in him. He opted for a third solution. He would pay a visit to Millie’s apartment and see if she wanted to watch a movie instead. Maybe share a glass of wine?

              Jacob got out of his uniform and changed into jeans and a T-shirt. He grabbed a bottle of wine, a DVD, not looking to see what it was and walked across the complex to Millie’s apartment. He knocked on the door and waited.

              Millie came home and logged in to her email, no response. How very disappointing, she thought. She walked back to her room, kicked off her heels and popped a TV dinner in the microwave. Millie jumped at the knock on her door. “Who is it?” she asked nervously.

            
 
“Hey, Millie, it’s Jacob. I wanted to see if you wanted to watch…” and he trailed off as Millie opened the door. She was standing there in her bare stocking feet, still in her white skirt, and her black blouse was haphazardly tucked into her skirt. She looked like she had been in the process of getting undressed and he had interrupted. Jacob cleared his throat and continued, “I wanted to see if you would care to watch a movie with me and have a glass of wine?” Millie stepped back and invited him in.

            
 
“What movie did you bring,” she said casually, heading to the kitchen to grab two wine glasses and a bottle opener. “And have you eaten dinner yet? I just tossed a TV dinner in the microwave. Would you want something also? It's not much but you are welcome to it,” she asked, embarrassed because it was so impersonal.

              “How about I order a pizza?” Jacob offered and then it was his turn to get embarrassed as he looked down at the DVD he grabbed on his way out the door.  He had picked up a rated R movie that was well known for the plot and an incredible sex scene…part of the reason he had bought it. Most of the guys had recommended it and said that the sex made it an even better show. He cleared his throat and said, “What kind of pizza do you like? The movie was recommended at work.”

              Millie smiled. “Pizza is pizza - I am good with anything on it. You pick.” Jacob called and ordered a large meat covered pizza to be delivered at her place. Millie poured the wine and grabbed the DVD to put it in the player. She was a bit surprised at his choice but according to the critics, it was supposed to be a good story plot. She invited him to sit down on the couch and she sat on the other side, her legs tucked under her.

              Millie took a sip of wine and broke the silence. “Thank you very much for the wine, dinner and company. What brought this on?” she said casually, but her heart was beating frantically in her chest. It was her email! She knew it was too much. Here she was, opening up and felt like she was inviting him over for sex and he just ran right over. She basically insinuated she liked two person showers and felt incredibly dirty and forward.

              Jacob played it off and decided not to mention the email. “I enjoyed your company earlier and was hoping you would be available. It is quiet at home and I had a great time the other night. Thought we might talk about Saturday’s plans or maybe look at a few online together?” he said trying to put her at ease. She seemed very nervous and on edge.

            
 
“Perfect!” Millie said, jumping at the chance to get back on her mental ‘turf.’ She took another sip of wine and put her glass down on the small coffee table. She padded across the room, barefoot in her hose, and grabbed her laptop. “DVD first or look at the homes?” she asked. “Let’s go with the houses and see what we are going to take a peek at on Saturday. That way if something isn't going to work, we still have time to change plans accordingly. I can reschedule if needed,” she said trying to keep calm as she sat on the couch and Jacob scooted closer to her to look over her shoulder.

              Millie grabbed her wine and took a large sip for courage and hopefully it would relax her a bit. Jacob agreed with her, trying to see over her shoulder. Millie turned the laptop so he could see and pulled up the first one.

              Jacob looked at the computer and then happened to glance at Millie’s blouse that was gaping at a button. “Very nice” he said softly as she chatted about the house and features. Jacob listened quietly and tried to focus on what she was saying but his eyes kept being drawn to the creamy mounds he saw peeking from her blouse.

              Millie noticed he seemed to be distracted and pulled up another listing. “This one was just put on the market about three weeks ago. Small three bedroom, two bath home with an unfinished basement that could be converted to a master suite or den. It’s got good bones to it but a very small lot unfortunately.”

            
 
“Sounds nice,” Jacob commented quietly. “Do any of them have large showers?” he asked casually, turning her to face him.

              Millie could not meet his eyes and bit her lip. She was embarrassed but excited at the same time. She knew it would probably get a reaction out of him, but never expected him to show up. He was so close and all she could do was look at his lips, a soft smile on them. “Millie, baby, look at me,” he said gently, coaxing her to meet his eyes. “I love the way you think,” he said softly, kissing her lightly. “The smell of your perfume drives me wild and watching you walk in those pantyhose is heaven on earth” he said between soft kisses.

            
 
“They are stockings,” Millie confessed breathlessly between kisses. His lips were so soft and his words made her melt. She adored the sweet soft kisses he rained on her lips.

              Jacob groaned against her and whispered, “I hope I get to see them eventually,” as he deepened the kiss. He watched as Millie closed her laptop quickly and set it beside her. He felt her arms wrap around his neck and felt him untuck her blouse from her skirt.

              Millie could not get enough of his firm lips and his tongue. She felt Jacob pull her into his lap and wrapped both of his arms around her waist. Her legs dangled to the side of him where she had just been sitting. Millie wanted more. She broke the kiss and looked at his questioning face. She heard him ask quickly if things were okay for her. “Oh yes, I am more than all right,” she said shyly and moved to straddle his lap, hiking her skirt up just a bit to allow the movement and wrapping her arms around his neck.

              Jacob was in paradise. Millie’s thighs were exposed showing the lace topped thigh high stockings she had mentioned, that had started them along this road. Jacob’s hands slid from her legs, up to her bottom cupping it for a moment…waiting.

              Millie arched against him at the sensation of his hands clenching her rear and then the heat of his palms on her bare back. Jacob slid his hands under her shirt and felt the smooth skin.

              Millie kissed him desperately. He smelled so good; his hands were so very hot on her skin and were everywhere. She wanted him to touch her and needed to feel more.                             Jacob’s hands slid to the front underneath the fabric of her shirt to cup her lace-covered breasts. He could feel her nipples straining to get free and gently pinched one. Millie gave a moan in delight against his mouth.

              He wanted so much more. He broke off the kiss and grasped her breast, bringing the globe to meet his searching mouth. He clamped down on the tight nipple through the fabric and suckled. It wasn't enough though, he wanted to see and taste them. He yanked her blouse up, one button popping off and flying against the wall.

              Millie gasped and could feel wetness gathering at her core. She liked this aggressive side of him. Jacob leaned forward again, freeing her pert breast and feasting on the nipple. Millie pulled at his head encouragingly, silently begging for more.

              Jacob’s other hand slid down to cup her rear and found the slit at the bottom of her skirt had hiked up when she has raised it to straddle him. Her sweet bottom was easily accessible as well as her softness that beckoned him. He slid a hand down her bottom and touched the well that was so wet. Millie exclaimed, “Oh, just like that!” pushing herself against his hand, begging for more from him.

              Jacob licked and stroked her soft breasts and nibbled at her sweetness while his fingers slide back and forth against her wetness, teasing her and making her moan. Jacob wanted to slide himself home so badly but he was afraid that if he had Millie tonight, like he desperately needed, that he would lose her. He wanted Millie, like this, more than just one time. He wanted her coming back to him over and over again as his woman. Millie let out a shiver and a groan as she came against his fingers and ground down against him, silently begging for penetration.

              Jacob placed a few tender kisses along her collarbone and throat by those pearls that had teased him all day. He held his hand completely still against her quivering lips and Millie was still shaking from ecstasy, undulating her hips instinctively. Jacob looked up at her face, stunned by the emotions he was feeling towards her, and when she looked down at him with a hooded, sultry gaze and a soft satisfied smile. Jacob felt something hit him like a ton of bricks. More than just lust and desire…a feeling he wasn't ready to identify.

              Millie felt amazing and slightly taken aback at her brazenness. Jacob was still holding her tightly and caressing her. The knock at the door jarred both of them into movement. Millie flew off the couch and ran for her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. Jacob smiled and got the door. He signed off on the slip for the pizza and took the hot box and placed it on the counter.

              Jacob stepped back to the bedroom and listened for a moment, hearing nothing. He rapped softly on the door, “Millie, baby, it was the pizza. Come join me and let’s watch the movie,” he said invitingly.

              Millie wasn't sure what to think, part of her wanted to be embarrassed but a larger part of her wanted more. Jacob could kiss and touch her in ways that made her body scream in delight. “Just a moment,” she said loudly to Jacob through the door, trying to decide if she should put her work clothes back together again or change all together. The button missing on her shirt decided the latter. Millie decided to throw a pajama on and pull a robe over it.

            
 
“Well, you get to see me in casual-wear as well as work, don't you?” she said putting on a brave front as she stepped from the doorway.

            
 
“…And everything in-between I hope,” Jacob said with a smile and pulled her to him. He kissed her softly and tenderly. “Thank you for letting me make love to you,” he whispered against her brow as he held her tightly. Millie nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

              She stayed in his arms for a few more minutes and enjoyed the sensation of listening to his heartbeat, which seemed to be pounding loudly against her cheek. Composing herself, she pulled free and smiled at him. “Let me fix you a plate and let’s just relax for a bit and watch the news. Do you mind terribly?”

              Jacob seemed genuinely relieved. She wasn't upset, she wasn't running, and she wasn't throwing him out the door. Bonus was she didn't seem interested in watching that movie either- and he didn't know how he would be able to sit through a steamy sex scene with Millie without replaying every detail in his mind. His pants were tight enough as it was.
