Chapter 8

Lily

Jake's lips crash into mine and everything else fades away. His strong hands grip my waist, pulling me flush against his hard body as his mouth devours me with a hunger I've never known.

Sparks ignite under my skin, desire pooling low in my belly. Holy crap, no kiss has ever felt like this!

I melt into him, my fingers threading through his short hair to hold him close. A desperate moan escapes me as his tongue delves deep, claiming me, possessing me.

I'm drowning in sensation, in Jake . My best friend. The man I never dared to dream could want me this way.

He breaks the kiss to trail his lips along my jaw, his breath hot against my ear. "Lily...god, I've wanted this for so long. Wanted you."

His deep, rumbling words send shivers down my spine. I'm panting, trembling in his arms, aching for more of his touch. "Jake..." It's the only coherent thought I can form.

Suddenly I'm airborne as he scoops me up, one arm under my knees and the other supporting my back. Our eyes lock, the blistering heat in his green depths stealing my breath. He strides purposefully out of the bar, each step jostling me against his muscular chest.

The night air is cool on my flushed skin but does nothing to calm the inferno raging inside me. Jake's mouth finds mine again as he carries me down the street and into his apartment building. I'm only vaguely aware of the journey, too lost in his drugging kisses.

He kicks the door shut behind us, and I know there's no going back. I'm about to cross a line with my best friend that I can never uncross.

And I don't care.

I want him with every fiber of my being. I need him like I need air.

He stops us in the middle of his dimly lit bedroom, pressing me against the wall. His emerald eyes drill into mine as his hands trail up my thighs, lifting my skirt to my waist. "I've been waiting for this day, Lily. I've fantasized about this moment a thousand times."

His words send a thrill straight to my core. "Jake, I never knew you..."

"Shh, Lily, let me show you."

His fingers make short work of my lace panties, and then there's nothing between us but our burning skin. My body aches for him as he grinds his hips against mine, his erection hard and insistent against my center. "So wet, baby," he groans into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "You feel so damn good."

"Jake...god, I...I...," I stutter incoherently, overwhelmed by the sensations coursing through me.

He kisses a trail of blazing heat down my neck, stopping just above my cleavage. "You're all mine tonight, Lily. Every perfect, curvy inch of you." His possessive growl sends a visceral thrill through me. "Tell me you're mine."

"Yours, Jake...I'm yours," I moan, arching my back to feel more of him.

"And do you know what's mine?" he growls, nibbling on my earlobe.

"T-tell me," I pant out.

"Every. Fucking. Inch. You were always meant to be mine, Lily. Every beautiful, curvy part of you." His hands splay across my hips, as if to emphasize his point.

Unable to form a coherent reply, I moan in response as he teases my hardened nipple with his tongue. It's too much, the pleasure coursing through me, and I'm on the verge of orgasm before he even breaches me.

"Oh, Jake, please..." I whimper, my hips grinding against his hard length. "I...I need you."

"I got you, babe," he whispers, his voice a low rumble that sets my nerves on fire.

He pushes a finger into me and then stills when he feels my hymen. His eyes darken as he chokes out, "You're still a virgin, Lil?"

My cheeks color with embarassment as I nod. "Well, yeah. I mean, you're my best friend. I'd have told you if I lost it."

"Thank fuck," he growls. "Do you know how many nights the thought of another man claiming what's mine has tortured me?"

My heart starts beating faster at his possessive words. Fuck, but I love how possessive Jake is being.

He whispers, his voice hot in my ear. "Do you know how long I've jacked off to the thought of you?"

I gasp. Why does that admission send moisture flooding between my thighs?

He crashes his lips back onto mine, and then with one swift motion, he plunges into me, shredding my virginity and filling me completely.

I gasp, my nails digging into his back as the sensation of being claimed by him washes over me.

"You feel so good, Lily. So fucking tight." Jake's grip on my hips tightens, his hips starting a relentless, pounding rhythm. "God, I've wanted you for so long...needed this...you..."

I can only moan in response, lost in the sensations he's creating within me.

"Lily...sweet Lily...love you...love..." His words taper off as his thrusts become even more urgent, pulling me along with him into a maelstrom of pleasure.

My world shatters into a million shimmering pieces as an explosive orgasm rips through me, my inner walls clenching around Jake's thick shaft buried deep inside me. "Jake! Oh god, Jake!" I cry out, clinging to him as wave after wave of ecstasy crashes over me.

"That's it, baby. Come for me," he growls, his hips slamming into mine, prolonging my release. "Fucking perfect...my perfect Lily..."

His words, his rough possession, the feel of him pulsing inside me—it's all too much. I shatter again, my body spasming uncontrollably around him as a second orgasm overtakes me before the first has even subsided.

"Jake...Jake...fuck!" I moan incoherently, my nails scoring down his back. The coil inside me winds tighter and tighter with each forceful thrust until it finally snaps. I scream his name as pure, unadulterated bliss consumes me.

"Lily!" Jake roars. His hips jerk erratically as he finds his own release, spilling deep inside me with a guttural groan. "Lily, fuck!"

I cling to him, my legs locked around his waist, my inner walls still fluttering and milking his pulsing cock. Our heavy breaths mingle as we ride out the aftershocks together, lost in a haze of pleasure and passion.

Jake rests his forehead against mine, his intense green eyes boring into me. "I love you, Lily. I've always fucking loved you," he rasps, his voice raw with emotion as he pulls me on top of him and holds me tightly, stroking my head until we drift off to sleep together.
