Chapter 27
As she carefully closed the door behind her, Jodi realized that yes, she was in fact sneaking out of her own apartment. She winced when the door made a slight clicking noise as she locked it behind her.
For about thirty seconds, she stood there, frozen on the spot as she waited for a sign that Danny heard her.
When she didn’t hear anything, Jodi waited an extra fifteen seconds just to make sure that she was in the clear.
Relief surged through her as she stepped away from her door and quickly, yet quietly, made her way towards the front door where freedom awaited her.
God, she couldn’t believe that she was doing this.
Okay, so that wasn’t exactly true. She completely believed that she was sneaking out of her own apartment the morning after fooling around with one of the hottest men that she’d ever met. Last night had been…
Amazing.
There was no other way to describe it. She’d never been more nervous or more excited in her life than she had been last night.
She’d been terrified that she would do or say something to wreck the moment and bring reality crashing down on her.
Instead, she’d had an incredibly sexy man begging her to keep touching him.
She couldn’t help but smile as she reached for the doorknob and-
Frowned when the door wouldn’t open.
She tried to turn the knob again, but it wouldn’t budge.
She even checked the lock, but it wouldn’t open.
Making a mental note to call Zoe later, Jodi turned around and quietly walked back down the hallway, making sure to be extra quiet as she walked past her apartment door.
She threw a cautious glance over her shoulder and-
Groaned pathetically when she realized that she was trying to make her escape without her purse and lunch bag. She stopped walking as she considered her options. She could walk to work, skip lunch and fill up on water from the water fountain and call one of the guys for a ride home later, or…
Go back into her apartment and risk running into the man that she was trying to avoid.
She stood there for another minute, contemplating her choices until finally, she turned around with a shrug and started walking towards the backdoor again, deciding that a vigorous five-mile walk in ninety-degree weather in high heels was the better option.
She opened the backdoor and walked outside, carefully closing the door behind her.
Ignoring what promised to be a very hot day, Jodi walked around the house and headed for the driveway where Danny Bradford, the sneakiest bastard to ever walk the face of the planet, was leaning back against his truck holding her purse and lunch bag.
“Forget something?” Danny asked with a lopsided smile as he pushed away from his truck.
“I, umm…” Jodi mumbled pathetically, trying to come up with an excuse that would explain why she snuck out of her own apartment, but sadly, she couldn’t come up with anything.
“Jump in. We’ll grab breakfast on the way,” Danny said, walking around his truck and opened the passenger door for her.
Accepting the fact that she wasn’t going to be able to come up with an excuse for why she’d rather walk the five miles to work than face him, Jodi forced a small smile, murmured, “Thank you,” and accepted his help as she climbed in.
Needing something to do, she took her time buckling in as Danny quickly made his way around the truck and climbed in. “Donuts or an egg sandwich?”
“Donuts sound great,” Jodi said, trying not to squirm in her seat as she thought about everything that they did last night.
“Donuts it is, then,” Danny said with a nod, looking amused as he started the truck and pulled out of the driveway.
As he drove towards the center of town, Jodi sat there praying that he didn’t bring up anything that happened last night.
Ten minutes later, as they were pulling into the old library’s parking lot that resembled a war zone these days, Jodi decided that someone upstairs really loved her because he hadn’t said a single word to her.
She was so relieved that she didn’t notice that he’d chosen a parking spot in the back of the lot, behind the dumpsters piled high with concrete and debris, until it was too late.
“Why are we parked back here?” she asked with a frown.
Danny sighed as he reached between them and picked up the box of donuts. He placed the box on the dashboard. “I wanted to eat in peace,” he explained as he opened the box and grabbed a jelly donut.
She didn’t have to look to know that it was a jelly donut since he’d ordered a dozen of them this morning. She didn’t say anything at the time because she figured that he just had a craving, but now-
“Sorry,” Danny murmured as a drop of jelly escaped and landed on her bare knee.
“It’s fine,” Jodi said, thankful that it hadn’t landed on her skirt.
“Here, let me clean that,” Danny said, just as she reached for the pile of napkins when she felt it.
His mouth on her knee.
He gently sucked the jelly off her knee and followed it up by licking the spot clean. He took his time licking her knee clean as she sat there, admittedly stunned and not really sure what to do.
“What are you doing?” Jodi finally managed to ask.
“Cleaning up my mess,” Danny said with one last lick before he leaned back and-
Squeezed more jelly on her knee.
“You may want to pull your skirt up,” he warned as he leaned back down to swipe his tongue over his newest mess while he reached down and pulled her shoes off.
It took her a minute to register his words and when it finally hit her, Jodi couldn’t grab the hem of her skirt fast enough. She yanked it up, deciding that she’d rather deal with wrinkles than jelly stains.
“Higher,” Danny said softly as he squeezed more jelly onto her leg, this time on her thigh.
He dragged his tongue up her leg, sucking the jelly off as he reached up with his free hand and pushed her skirt up higher until she took the hint and pulled her skirt up until it was around her waist and she was reclining back against the passenger door.
She wasn’t exactly sure how she’d ended up in that position, but Danny seemed happy with the results as he continued to make a path of jelly up her leg.
“What exactly are you doing?” Jodi asked, swallowing nervously as she glanced around the parking lot, relieved to discover that they were still alone.
“Open your shirt,” Danny said instead of answering her.
“What?” Jodi whispered while she watched as he continued licking his way up her leg.
“I’d do it, but I don’t think that you want to have to explain why your shirt is covered in jelly,” Danny said as he traced a circle on her inner thigh with his tongue.
Her hands trembled as she reached up and quickly released the buttons on her blouse, telling herself that she was just doing this to protect her white blouse from jelly stains.
“Spread your legs for me, Tinkerbelle,” Danny said between flicks of his tongue across her thigh.
Licking her lips and stretching up one more time to make sure that the coast was clear, she did just that.
When he reached up with his clean hand and flicked open the front clasp of her bra and moved the cups aside to expose her breasts, she moaned in anticipation.
She’d never done anything like this, never dreamed that she’d be doing this one day and couldn’t believe that she was doing this now.
“You taste so sweet, Tinkerbelle,” Danny growled against her skin as he ran his hand over her breast and gently squeezed. “But I bet I can find something sweeter to lick.”
“Oh, God…” Danny heard her moan as he squeezed the last drop of jelly out of the donut and licked it off the soft skin bordering her panties.
Once he licked it off her skin, he tossed the donut aside and cupped her other breast with his hand, spreading the jelly over her hard nipple and breast. He gave her thigh one last lick before he pushed up and shifted so that he could take her nipple between his lips and lick it clean.
“Danny! Oh, God, Danny!” Jodi cried as she wrapped her arms around him and shifted desperately beneath him.
As he worked on licking every last drop of jelly off her breast, he reached down and hooked his fingers in her panties and pulled them off.
He moved to the side and sat back on the bench as he pulled them free and tossed them aside.
Groaning, he took her nipple back in his mouth as he reached down and undid his fly.
“Come here and show me just how wet you are,” Danny said as he released her nipple and sat back against the bench as he pulled his cock out with one hand and, with the other, gave her hand a gentle tug that had her moving.
She grabbed onto his shoulders and leaned in, taking his mouth in a hungry kiss as she followed him until she was settled on his lap and her pussy was pressed down on him, thoroughly soaking him.
“No sex?” Jodi doubled-checked as she pressed down harder until the underside of his hard length pushed past her lips and was pressing against her core.
“No sex,” Danny forced himself to say when all he wanted to do was to shift her so that he could ram his cock inside her and fuck her until she squeezed him dry.
“Okay,” she agreed with a loud moan against his mouth as she shifted her hips experimentally but abruptly stopped before he could register the move.
“Jodi?” he asked, forcing himself to be patient.
She pulled back, looking scared, really scared as she admitted, “I’ve never done this before.”
He chuckled weakly as he reached up and cupped her face. “And you’re afraid of doing something wrong?”
She worried her bottom lip as she reluctantly nodded.
“Do whatever feels good and I guarantee that I’ll love it,” Danny said, leaning in and slowly teased her lips with his own as he dragged his fingertips down her neck, over her shoulders until he came to her breasts and cupped them in his hands.
“Are you sure?” Jodi asked against his lips, releasing a gasp as he gently squeezed her breasts.
“Extremely,” he groaned against her lips as he deepened the kiss and teased her breasts, hoping that it would be enough to relax her.
A few seconds later, she started moving…and nothing had ever felt better.
Needing to feel her as she moved against him, he dropped one of his hands away from her breasts and placed it on her bare bottom.
He cupped her cheek, loving the way it moved against his hand as she ground herself down against him.
Desperate to see her lose control, he brushed his lips against hers one last time before he sat back and watched as she turned his life upside down.
Giving her breast one last squeeze, he reached down and shoved her skirt up higher until it was wrapped around her waist and he had an unobstructed view.
He licked his lips as he watched her rub herself over the underside of his cock, coating him in her arousal.
She was so fucking wet. Mesmerized, he watched as she moved on him while he licked his lips, wishing that it was the soft pink lips rubbing against his cock.
“Does this feel okay?” Jodi asked breathlessly as she rubbed herself against him.
“Keep that up and you’ll find out,” Danny promised her as he leaned in and captured her lips in a hungry kiss that had her moaning as she wrapped her arms around him.
She shifted on his lap and pressed down, wrenching a loud groan from his lips as she started to lose control. Her movements became less coordinated, harder and wilder until he was forced to cup her ass and encourage her to keep going.
She felt so fucking good…
His hands gripped her ass tightly as he struggled against the need to shift her so that he could fuck her. God, he wanted to be inside her, had to be inside her, but he couldn’t.
She wasn’t just some one-night stand that he’d picked up to kill some time during leave.
This was the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
He wanted to do this right, wanted to take things slow and make sure that when he finally made love to her that it was perfect.
He wanted to erase every memory of the fucking asshole from her mind.
He wanted to be the only man that she ever wanted.
“Oh, god,” Jodi moaned loudly as he pushed up against her, making sure to rub against her clit as she rode him.
When she pushed down on him and stilled, he swallowed her cries of pleasure and waited it out, waited until the last scream was torn from her lips before he let go and when he did, he dropped back against the bench and roared with pleasure as she wrung him dry.
As Jodi dropped against his chest and struggled to catch her breath, he couldn’t help but wonder if there was an accelerated way to win a woman’s heart because he wasn’t sure that he was going to survive this game plan.
