  “This is nice.” Jacqueline wandered around the room checking things out. She opened a closed door to reveal the master bath. “Okay, I take it back. This is fantastic. The bathroom is spectacular.” She ended her observation with a yawn. “Sorry.”

  “Don’t apologize, babe. It’s been a long day. Why don’t you take a shower and get comfortable. I’m going to go back out to the truck and bring the food in I brought.”

  “You brought food too? You should have said something. I would have gotten us stuff.”

  “Jacqueline, this is my treat remember?”

  She nodded. “At least let me help you get everything in.”

  “No way. Go in and relax. You’ve already been out in the cold enough. Your teeth were chattering. Climb in a hot shower and unwind.”

  She opened her mouth to argue, but smiled instead. “Okay, if you insist.”

  “I do.”

  She grabbed her bag and headed to the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. Caleb started the trip back outside to the SUV. He needed the cold air to cool down, he wanted to be able to take things slow. He did not want to end up jumping on her like some jackass.

  Jack climbed under steaming, hot water. It felt like complete heaven. She dropped her head fall forward and let the water beat at the base of her neck. She had taken something for the tension headache she’d had all week. She hoped the damn thing went away now they were here. She admitted to herself, she was having a good time. She had forgotten how much fun she and Caleb had together. They’d always had an easy relationship and spending time with him reminded her of the fact.

  She showered before leaving for school, so she quickly turned off the water and climbed out. Truthfully, the reason was she wanted to be out of the shower and in her pajamas when she saw him again. She dried off and rubbed her favorite lotion on all the exposed skin she could reach. She hated winter and one of the huge reasons was if she didn’t apply the stuff every day she would flake away to nothing.

  She pulled on one of her favorite jammy sets and exited the bathroom. The cottage was quiet and she assumed he was still out getting the stuff together. She wondered briefly what he had brought, but figured she could check it all out when he came back in. Grabbing a teaching magazine out of her bag, she climbed on the bed. She shoved some pillows up and laid back. The bed was as comfortable as it looked. She smiled as she opened the magazine and began to read.

  Caleb shut the door of the quiet cottage. He had gotten waylaid by a call from Jason as he was bringing all the stuff in and knew he had to take it. His partner was going to speak with a client the next day and the sale was important since it was for a small office building. He entered the tiny kitchenette and put the wine he had brought in the small refrigerator. He wasn’t much on the stuff, but Jacqueline loved it. The cheaper the better was what she told him. He tossed beers in after it and went looking for her.

  He found her curled up sound asleep on the large bed, a magazine draped across her chest. He felt a bit disappointed, but wanted her fully rested and ready for what he had planned for them. Besides, they had all weekend and he was going to make every minute count.

  Be Mine

  Chapter Five

  Jack stretched and snuggled back into the warmth of the covers. The bed linens smelled softly of lavender and were smooth to the touch. She rubbed a corner between two of her fingers sleepily. She idly wondered how lavender had gotten in her sheets. Was it in her new fabric softener? Her mind wandered aimlessly, but no answer readily appeared. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked around at the surroundings. Heavy rich burgundy curtains covered the wall she could see. A small nightstand was also in her eyeshot, and she could see a digital clock glowing softly in the murky darkness. The time read six-thirty. She closed her eyes when the day before finally came into focus. She was at the bed and breakfast with Caleb.

  She opened her eyes again when she felt a solid warmth behind her. She blinked, finally realizing he was in bed with her. In fact, he was snuggled up tight behind her with their legs tangled together and one of his arms lying across her waist. She closed her eyes, understanding she must have fallen asleep the night before. She hadn’t thought she was overly tired, but the stress of the week and the comfort of the bed must have acted as an instant sedative. Since he was in bed with her, she finally had the answer to what the sleeping arrangement was going to be. Unless he was in here because there was no place else to sleep. She was sure the brochure said something about a hideaway bed in the couch, but hell why should he sleep there? He was the one who paid for the trip. If anyone slept on the couch, it would be her. But why didn’t he wake her up? Maybe he had tried, but she hadn’t moved.

  “Babe, you’re thinking way too hard for this early in the morning.”

  His low growl sent shivers up her spine. Fuck, he sounded sexy in the morning.

  “Jacqueline, I know you’re awake.”

  “Caleb, I know I’m awake too.”

  He gave a low chuckle sending warm breath right on her neck. There was no way this should make her wet, but for some bizarre reason it did. Okay, it probably had to do with his closeness and the fact she could feel him getting hard right against her backside. Without thinking, she wiggled to get better situated and froze.

  “Well, baby, you’ve got me awake now.” He nuzzled her neck lazily.

  “Caleb, what is going on?” Her voice came out sounding a bit breathy and she almost rolled her eyes. What the fuck? Was she some bimbo off a porn flick?

  “Lay still, baby, and let me make you feel good,” he whispered softly against her neck. He moved his hand from around her waist slowly up her top. His hand was large and warm and felt right against the skin of her bare belly. He palmed her breast and began to knead and pull gently at her nipple. The breath caught in her chest as she arched to push more of her breast into his hand. His work-roughened fingers created a rasping sensation against her nipple, making it stand up taut and straight.

  “You have great tits, baby. I can’t wait ‘til I can get my mouth around them. Would you like me to suck your tits, baby? Would you like me to lick and suck on your nipples? Maybe bite them a little. Cause sometimes a little pain can make the pleasure a little bit better. Hmm, do you want me to?”

  “Yes,” she whispered, pushing her ass back into his enormous cock. She couldn’t believe how turned on she was getting from him playing with a boob and whispering in her ear. Moisture pooled between her legs and she could feel it begin to slick her thighs. Restlessly she moved her legs as she tightened her thighs, gently rubbing at her own clit.

  “No, Jacqueline,” he told her as he pushed a leg between hers forcing the friction on her clit to stop. “I’ll give you pleasure. You are not allowed to give it to yourself. Do you understand?”

  She nodded as he began to push her jammy pants down. Eagerly she helped him, wanting only to have those rough fingers stroking the hot flesh between her thighs. She could feel more moisture slowly ease out of her body and dampen the lips protecting her entrance.

  “Now, let’s see what we have here.” He bit her on the shoulder as he slid his hand between her legs. He moved his fingers gently around the outside lips of her labia, not touching her clit at all. Mindlessly, she opened her legs farther, needing him to touch her. “Fuck, baby, your pussy is wet. And it feels damn good. I can’t wait till I lap up all your sweet juice. Would you like that? Would you like me to lick and suck on your pussy? Do you want me to rim your hole with my tongue? Stick it up inside of you as far as it will go?”

  She nodded, unable to speak, as he slicked his fingers around her clit. Once again, he slid his leg between hers and pushed her leg up, giving him more room. He used his whole hand as he pinched her clit gently and finally plunged a finger up inside of her. Jacqueline gasped and thrust herself against his hand, beginning to ride it.

  “Damn, baby, you’re tight. I can’t wait to get my cock inside of you. You’re gonna squeeze me. But I have to get you ready. I don’t want to hu
rt you.” Saying this, he eased Jacqueline over until she was lying on top of him with her back against his front. He kicked the covers off exposing them both to darkness and cool air. He inserted his legs between hers own and pushed them farther apart. He began to thrust two of his large fingers inside of her now, while the other hand toyed and pinched at her breasts. She could do nothing but writhe on top of him and hope he put her out of her misery soon. She had never felt like this before. So open, so hot, so ready.

  “Fuck, Jacqueline, your pussy feels like heaven. You’re sopping wet. I’m gonna eat you up like ice cream on a hot day. Get ready because I’m going to put three fingers in you. Talk to me, baby, tell me what you feel, what you like or I’ll stop.”

  “God, Caleb, don’t stop.” Jack reached down and put her hand over his. She could feel the moisture from her body coating his fingers. This turned her on even more. “Your fingers are big and they fill me up.”

  “Not as full as you’ll be when I get my dick inside of you. I’m going to pull your legs wide open, baby, and thrust so deep inside of you. You’ll be mine, Jacqueline. Do you understand? You’ll be mine.”

  She nodded, again unable to speak. As long as he kept making her feel like this, she would be his forever. He thrust his fingers inside of her faster as he ground his palm against her clit. Jacqueline shoved her hips up to his hand and began to scream as the orgasm overwhelmed her. But he wasn’t finished. Caleb never stopped moving those incredibly talented fingers. Impossibly, she felt another orgasm build. She widened her legs as she ground her clit against his palm. He pushed his hand back at her, which sent her over the edge again.

  “Baby, you feel so good. Your pussy clenches my fingers like it doesn’t ever want to let them go. I can’t wait ‘til I fuck you. It’s gonna be excellent.”

  Jack slumped back against him feeling limp and totally satiated. Even her vibrator at home didn’t make her feel like this. Only Caleb had. Caleb with his large hands and whispering voice. The talking was as much a turn-on as the touching. She didn’t understand why Claire hadn’t liked it. Hearing him made her hotter. And he was all hers for two entire days.

  Caleb lay with Jacqueline still sprawled across him. She was so hot she burned him up. He couldn’t believe how responsive she was. And how hard and ready she made him by doing something simple like saying his name. He closed his eyes and knew he didn’t want to just fuck her. Hell, it had never only been about the sex. He wanted all of her. He had to admit to himself, if not to anyone else, why he was glad Claire broke the engagement. He wanted Jacqueline, body and soul. He had been too fucking stupid to realize it. No, not stupid, blind. He had always gone for the blondes, petite blondes like Claire. And in doing so, he’s almost lost out on perfection.

  He slid Jacqueline’s limp body off his own and turned her to face him. God, she was beautiful. Her eyes were sleepy with passion and her sable hair tousled and sexy. He brushed the hair out of her face and leaned forward to claim her lips. The kiss was lazy and unhurried as he eased his tongue forward to gently tease hers. She tasted of mint and heat, a flavor he would always associate with Jacqueline.

  He could feel her hand drift down over his taut stomach muscles, which contracted at her gentle touch. Her hand was like a brand against his flesh, claiming the territory it drifted over. Needing her to claim him as much as he claimed her. She had promised to be his and he planned on making her keep the promise.

  Jacqueline’s hand skimmed lower and caressed his cock through the sweatpants he had worn to bed. God, her hand felt like heaven even through the heavy fleece. But this morning was not about his pleasure, only hers. He put a hand down and stopped her movements.

  “No, Jacqueline.” He nuzzled her neck and breathed in her rich fragrance. “This time was for you. Nothing else.”

  “Yes, Caleb,” she whispered back. “I want to touch you.”

  “No, baby, no. I wanted this morning to be all about your pleasure.”

  “But touching you gives me pleasure.” She slid her hand from his and plunged it down the front of his pants. She encircled his cock with her hand and rubbed up and down, forcing a moan from between his clenched teeth. “And what a big pleasure it is too. And it’s all for me. My Valentine gift.”

  “Every bit of it,” he groaned out. “Fuck, your hand feels like heaven.”

  “Tell me what you want,” she whispered against his ear. “Am I doing it right?”

  “I want you and you’re doing great. Tighten your grip a bit.” He reached down and tightened her hand around his cock, teaching her what gave him the most pleasure. He felt her shift and her other hand joined in the fun. He pulled his knee up until his foot was flat on the mattress, giving her more room. He opened his eyes to see a frown of concentration on her face as she gripped and pulled at his dick. The sight of Jacqueline in his bed, giving him pleasure, sent him right over before he could stop himself. His balls tightened and his orgasm rushed over him. He bucked once, twice, and came in a rush over her hands.

  Caleb rested his forehead against Jacqueline’s and tried to catch his breath. Any thoughts or plans he may have had slipped right out of his head as soon as she had put her hands around his dick. Damn, she was lethal. He wanted this morning to be about her pleasure and nothing else, but she had turned the tables on him. Now looking back, he didn’t mind too much at all. And from the way she still held him in her hands, she didn’t mind much either.

  Jack snuggled next to Caleb, holding him hot and heavy in her hands. Damn, she didn’t even have to look to know he was well built. She could feel it. The events of the morning had swept her along at the speed of light, giving her no time to even think. Instead, all she could do was react… And what a reaction. All he’d had to do was touch her and she was blown away. She wondered what else he had in mind. If it was anything like what had already happened, she couldn’t wait.

  He rubbed his lips gently over hers and skimmed them with his tongue. She guessed this answered her question once and for all why they were on this trip. He said they needed time to build their own relationship. She wondered if he had planned this or had it happened just because they happened to share the same bed.

  “Baby, you’re thinking hard again. You need to stop,” he murmured, moving his lips down to nuzzle her neck.

  “What should I be doing?” she asked, slowly gliding her hands over and around his length.

  He bussed her quickly on the lips. “Getting dressed. We need to go to breakfast. I want us to explore the town, spend some time together.”

  “Isn’t this spending time together?” she asked, a bit confused.

  “Yeah, but I didn’t bring you here to spend the whole time in bed. As much as I would love it, by the way, it still isn’t the whole reason.” He smiled and popped her on the rear. “Now go get ready because I am starving, woman.”

  Jacqueline eased her hands slowly up his body. “Okay.”

  “Tease,” he called after her as she hurried to the bathroom.

  Jack shut the door and leaned against it. What the fuck had happened? Okay, she knew what had happened. It was obvious since she was sticky from both herself and Caleb. But he had never given her any indication this was where he even wanted the relationship to go. But it was apparent from his words this was the plan. Why hadn’t he said anything? Unless he was afraid she would have said no. Caleb afraid? The man wasn’t afraid of anything.

  She shook her head. He was right—she was thinking way too hard. She needed to go with the flow and enjoy what was happening instead of analyzing every detail. She pulled toiletries out of her bag and climbed into the shower, deciding to enjoy the moment. She didn’t have to know every single thing to have a good time. The only important thing was Caleb wanted her and he made her feel like no one else had. Tucking her thoughts away, she began to wash her hair.

  Be Mine

  Chapter Six

  Jacqueline walked hand in hand with Caleb around Bridge Point, the town close to the B&B. There were a variet
y of small shops featuring everything from handmade chocolate to wine from a local winery. What Jack did not see was a bridge or a point. She thought maybe the town might be too small to house either one. She was interested in the winery, though, since she had never seen the actual process, only read about it in a magazine. Caleb instantly had gotten directions so they could go there the next day to see how they made one of her favorite beverages.

  “Yeah, but do you think they make cheap sweet wine?” She smiled at him.

  “I don’t know, babe, we can ask. I still don’t see how you drink it.”

  “It’s good. It’s sort of like…kool-aid with a kick.”

  “I’ve never heard it described in such a way before.”

  “Hey, better than nasty beer. Yuck.” She made a face and shivered. “The stuff looks and tastes like what I would imagine pee water would.”

  He laughed. “Not the good stuff.”

  “Is there such a thing?”

  “Yes, and when we get back, I’ll make sure to get some of the good stuff so you can taste it.”

  They wandered from shop to shop, talking and laughing, as comfortable as they had always been. If Jack didn’t know it, the morning might never have happened. Except for Cal holding her hand, the hand-holding was something new. She liked the way her hand felt in his, the way he rubbed his thumb over the back of hers, as they explored the town.
