Travelers Love

by Samantha Rose

  I snorted. “No. I want more too, much more than just casual sex.” My throat tightened, it became hard to swallow, but I had to ask now, or I never would. “Will you stay with me after this is done? I mean, I understand if you don’t want to but… I would like you to.”

  Jasper spun around; his arms encased my waist to fling me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. My head spun at the sudden turn of events, and I worried my lips. The people that were left in the parking lot gave us dirty looks, but I didn’t care.

  His hand smacked my ass with a sharp snap, and the sting had me yelping.

  “My Jasmine, my baby, why would I ever do such a thing? Haven’t I told you that I would never leave? I want you to be mine for the rest of my life.”

  “You do?”

  “That is my plan, unless I die suddenly. I was going to ask you to move in with me after we got back.” He flung me into the backseat of his truck; my ass bounced off the seat and I nearly tumbled over the side onto the floor, but I managed to catch myself. Jasper crawled in behind me, he had an unreadable look on his face that made my legs snap closed as I clenched my girl bits together. Fuck me.

  His big body moved over mine to lie overtop of me. I hooked my legs around his back, snuggling into his warmth.

  “That’s it, curl yourself around me, listen to my heart as it beats for you,” Jasper rumbled against my chest. His lips descended on mine in a heated kiss. Our tongues twined and swirled around one another, each of us showing our desperation for one another. My hands slid down his hard chest and tugged his pants down his hips, freeing his heavy cock.

  “Pull off your pants.” He lifted off me a bit, allowing me to raise my hips just enough to yank my clothing off my body with hasty jerks. My clothing slipped from my fingers to the floor and I placed my hands on his shoulders, wrenching his shirt over his head, one arm at a time. I wanted to feel his chiseled chest rubbing over my breasts.

  “There is no going back from this, Jasmine.”

  “I know, and I wouldn’t dream of it.” I kissed his chin. “Are you positive you want to do this?”

  “God, baby, I want you.”

  “I want you, Jasper. Please, I want you to make love to me.”

  Positioning my hand on his jaw tenderly, I brought his mouth down to mine in a slow burning kiss. Shoving my heel into the lower part of his back, I forced him to move closer, bringing the tip of his dick to my core’s opening.

  Jasper shook above me as he tried to keep control over his movements as the crown of his cock rubbed over the outside of my pussy, but my legs tightened around him, pulling him down as I pushed up, gliding the first few inches of him into me.

  His mouth claimed mine and I hissed around his lips from the pleasure. I dug my heels into him more, telling him to keep going. There was no way I wanted him to stop now.

  “Keep going, bottom out in me,” I moaned.

  “Are you sure?” he panted. Sweat soaked his forehead as he fought a losing battle for self-control.

  “Yes,” I replied. “Keep going.”

  His thrust into me wasn’t as slow. With a single jerk of his hips Jasper pushed until he was settled fully inside. He held still, his arms propping him up and his head bowed down.

  I unwrapped my legs from around him and pulled my knees up toward my chest, bracing them on his shoulders. The new position made him slide impossibly deeper, and I moaned loudly at the sensation. This was exactly what I’d needed.

  He pulled back and jerked forward, slamming into me, dragging a gasp from my lips. My orgasm was coming fast, it built inside me, a burn that would consume us both.

  I gasped when he bumped my g-spot. “Do that again,” I groaned, turning my head to the side with satisfaction. “Do it again but harder.”

  He gave me exactly what I wanted and more. His hips pistoned into me in an uneven rhythm. The pleasure rippled inside me and built higher.

  “You feel so good, I’m going to come soon,” he groaned, releasing a breath that ruffled my hair.

  “I need you to play with my nipples. I’m so close, I can feel myself riding the edge,” I gasped out.

  Thrusting my hips up to meet his, I rocked my body forward and back. I could feel myself growing closer to the end of what was building inside me, yet I couldn’t reach the finish line. It was frustrating but I knew what I needed, I had to have his mouth on me.

  Gritting my teeth, I sighed as Jasper’s mouth latched onto one of my peaks and sucked hard. That was it. His chest vibrated with deep growls. Sweat soaked our bodies, causing his skin to glisten over me as the last of the sun’s rays came through the windshield.

  Taking hold of my ass, he rolled me into him. It was just enough to bring me that much closer.

  Cupping the underside of breast, he was sucking on, his hand he gave it a squeeze. The spark from his touch shot down to my pussy and my body lit up like the fourth of July.

  My pace increased and the pressure built, my core tightening with every movement. Each time he thrust into me, he ground down on my clit, and I felt his cock jerk.

  I came undone. Crying out, I stilled and flung my head back, exposing my throat.

  His hands skimmed down to my hips; I could feel his movements become jerky.

  “I’m going to come,” he rasped heavily. “Tell me to pull out.”

  “I don’t want you to, I want you to claim me like you promised.” It felt so damn right saying that out loud. I wanted him to come inside me—to feel his hot jets mark the walls of my channel. Gripping his hips with my knees I held him firmly, making it clear that I really did want this.

  “You can’t take it back, whatever happens…” Jasper gave me a final warning.

  I brushed my lips over his and whispered back, “I know… I want it to be with you in all ways this time.”

  We stayed chest to chest as he pushed into me one last time and groaned deeply as he came inside me.

  My head rested on the seat below me as I snuggled into him, his arms curled around me in a bear hug. The smell of his musky scent and the darkening sky outside created a memory I’d hoped to cherish for the rest of my life.

  We spent the next morning exploring as much as we could around the Grand Canyon itself until there was nothing more to see. After touring for a few hours, we’d decided to leave, to head out to explore the Grand Canyon Village.

  “This place is hotter than Texas,” Jasmine complained. Her t-shirt was stuck to her in some places, and I saw her start to fan herself. To some people seeing a woman in a loose shirt with jean shorts and running shoes may be unappealing, but to me, seeing her like this made me want to bend her over right there.

  “Do you want to head inside the store and grab something to help you cool off?” I offered.

  I’d parked the truck in a nearby parking lot and we’d walked around from one end of the town to the other, hand in hand. It was unbearably hot outside and I could feel the sweat dripping down my back. “Water does sound good.”

  “God does it ever!”

  “You know, part of me likes it here. My business back home doesn’t bring me this kind of satisfaction that I feel when I’m here with you.” I was being completely honest.

  “Hmm, but it does pay the bills. Trust me, if I could not go back to work ever again, then I wouldn’t but… I don’t want to give my parents that sort of leverage over me. They expect me to fail, to come running back home. I regret more than ever pulling money from the family account, now I feel obligated to pay it back even though I didn’t even put a dent in their finances.” She wiped the sweat from her brow and walked next to me toward the gas station that was just up ahead.

  “You will never have to rely on them again with me in the picture. I can understand that you feel the need to pay them back and if you want to, I will help you, but from what I’ve gathered, your parents are rich and if their only child is in trouble, it’s okay if you ask them for help.”

  “But I should
n’t… I’m a grown woman and I shouldn’t need help.” She looked away, playing with the long braid she’d put her hair in this morning after her shower. We had two more nights in the hotel here. It was her choice to cut the trip short. Her reasoning was due to her parents.

  “Everyone needs help occasionally. Hell, even I needed help once when I was first starting up my towing business. My parents helped me when I wasn’t able to get a loan.” It was true, I owed everything to my parents. Thanks to them, I was able to afford a comfortable living and was able to help them now as they enjoyed their retirement traveling the United States.

  “That’s amazing to hear. Are you an only child too?” She handed me two bottles of water and grabbed a big bag of trail mix that I nodded at.

  “Ha, no. I have one brother. Maxwell lives in New York and I hardly hear from him now. He’s some sort of fancy lawyer. I do get to see him on holidays, but we don’t really talk. He’s also six years younger than me. I guess you can say we just grew apart over our teen years. He was into being perfect and I was busy working on cars.” It didn’t make me sad thinking about what I couldn’t change.

  “That’s really sad, I’m sorry.” Her sympathy was heartwarming.

  “I appreciate it, but it’s just life.” I shrugged it off and paid for our drinks and snacks. I handed her a bag of mixed honey roasted nuts and her water, making sure to brush my fingers over hers as she took them from me.

  Her thumb hiked over her shoulder, pointing in the direction of the truck. “Do you want to head back to our room and snuggle? I feel like I could use that right about now.”

  As much as that sounded ideal, I would rather soak in the jet tub and hold her. I set something up before the day ended.

  Back in the room I held Jasmine as she snuggled into me and a crime show played on the TV giving us some background noise from the busy streets outside. It was the time of year that everyone from all around came to see this place and I was sure it brought in great business, but I wished we had some more quiet time.

  “I can’t believe that those people could hurt someone in cold blood,” she groused whipping a tear from the corner of her eye. “It is just flooring to see that sort of behavior. It makes me wonder what I would have turned out to be like if I hadn’t moved out when I did.”

  I squeezed her tighter to my side. “I guess being rich really made your parents out to be some special people, huh?”

  “Yeah… I saw my dad hit someone once and my mom hand him a loaded gun, it was all sorts of fucked up.” She shivered. “I found out later, after I had locked myself in my room that he’d only used it for show because some other gangster guy had come at my parents the wrong way, but still. It was one of those moments that as a child, I never really understood, but as an adult I look back and all I can think is what the fuck did I grow up around.” She sighed and sat up to take a drink from her water.

  “Wow, yeah, I can’t say I look forward to meeting them after all the bullshit you’ve told me about them.”

  “I honestly didn’t ever plan on taking anyone home to meet them, but they’ve likely already dug up information on you somehow.”

  “Is that so?” It didn’t faze me any, I would just make sure to keep Jasmine extra safe when dealing with that side of her past. Family or not, I wouldn’t let her parents push either of us around.

  “I’m sorry, Jasper.” Her shoulders sagged. “I never wanted to get you into this mess.”

  “Hey,” I said, turning her head toward me with my thumb and finger. She shook under my touch and I could tell dealing with all this brought out great emotions inside of her.

  “Hearing you speak about your childhood makes me realize that you never really had a normal childhood, did you?” And that gave me a grand idea. “Come with me to the bathroom. I’m going to pamper you!”

  “Seriously?” she chuckled. “What do you have in mind?”

  “A nice facial using the face mask next to the sink, a bubble bath with the jets full blast, and a massage using coconut lotion, all thanks to the hotel of course.” I laughed with her, it lifted my spirits to see her smile and forget all about the bad.

  “You are oh, so kind.” Her hand waved around in the air. She grinned widely. “You make me happy, Jasper.”

  “You make me happy too. Now, hop to it.” I smacked her ass when she got up off the bed and watched with my arms crossed as she undressed, folded her clothing, and placed it on the bed.

  I savored the sight of her rounded ass and hips. The pink of her nipples stood out on her smooth pearl white skin, and my fingers twitched to pluck at them.

  “If you keep watching me like that, you’ll give me a big head.” She stuck her tongue out at me. Her arms raised to tie her braid up into a tight bun lifting her perky breasts higher into the air.

  God bless.

  My mouth salivated.

  “And if you stick your tongue out like that, I’ll think that you’re offering.” My lips curled when she snorted. Her hips swayed when she walked around the bed and curled her finger, beckoning me forward.

  “Are you inviting me, baby?” The sway of her hips made my heart pound, and seeing her tight ass made my head spin.

  “Of course, you were the one to offer a nice pampering. Unless you’ve changed your mind?” She turned on the water and pumped in some of the bubble bath creating a cloud of white foam over the surface of the tub.

  Cupping some of the bubbles, I held them in front of my mouth and blew them at her. Jasmine poked some of the bubbles that dared to float near her face, what she didn’t see was that I’d whipped off my pants and shirt when she’d turned her back to me. Her legs kicked out with a large breath. Scooping her up into my arms, I carried her to the tub. I sat her on my lap and turned off the water and switched on the jets.

  “Now, I will care for you, my sweet,” I cooed in her ear as I cupped her breasts and proceeded to wash her body. “I couldn’t think about spending my evening any other way than in this nice warm bath with you.” I kissed the side of her neck and took care of my woman the way she deserved.

  Jasmine

  Our vacation had gone by too fast, and now that we stood outside our apartment complex, as much as I was glad to be back home, I wished that we could live in the fantasy world Jasper and I had created where life was normal for once.

  I wasn’t ready to go back into my own apartment where I’d be alone again.

  A gloomy dark shadow hung over it. “I’m not ready to go home yet, running away from my problems has given this place a bad vibe.”

  “I feel the same. I’m thinking the only way to fix this is to find a new place to rent and move in together.”

  My mouth opened and closed. We’d spoken about moving in with one another maybe twice, and I had honestly just brushed it to the back of my mind thinking that when the time was right, if he really meant it, he’d ask again. Hearing him say it again so soon had my heart jumping inside my chest with joy.

  “Yes!” I yelled, leaping into his arms. “Are you sure though? I can sometimes be annoying, and I have a bad habit of eating ice cream out of the tub, and I eat junk food with all my movies. Oh, and pizza is its own food group, at least I think, ha.”

  “Then we will order pizza tonight, and we can have someone bring us some snacks too.”

  Jasper was being too kind.

  I stood behind him as he unlocked his front door and gasped at how lavish his apartment was.

  “Wow, you really have a nice place.” I whistled. “Though, it could use a bit of a woman’s touch.” I eyed the man cave set-up. The front room had your average couch set, which was a black leather. The living room hooked onto the kitchen—his place had the same layout as mine. His kitchen table sat six people, which was nice for family… But the thing that caught my eye was a painting of a cat in a space suit in a space themed background, and just below that was a huge ass telescope that looked out a set of double glass door that led out
onto a small balcony with a mini BBQ.

  “What’s with the cat?” Not that I was opposed to it being there, but I was curious as to why he had something that looked so strange. It let me see deeper into the life he lived when he was alone.

  “I found that at a garage sale a few years back along with the telescope with a dozen hard-covered books about astronomy.” Jasper pointed to the large bookshelf next to the flat screen that hung on the wall in front of the couches. I hadn’t even noticed them.

  “I fell in love with stargazing within a week after I set everything up and read all the books.”

  “I’m not going to lie, that is pretty impressive.” I went over to pick up one of the books. It was heavy, the spine was at least two to three inches thick and there had to be at least a thousand pages or more.

  “You’ve read all of these?” My eyes scanned the top shelf that held five identical books, all in order and dust free.

  “Yes,” he said, as if it was no big deal. “I can show you sometime what the moon looks like up close. We’re supposed to have a meteor shower in the next month, we could sit out and watch that, but it’ll be late. The prime time to see them is around two in the morning.”

  I put the book back and turned to him. “That would be fun.” I’d never seen the moon up close and personal except for when there was a full moon and the glow made it look as if it would fall from the sky.

  “Why don’t you make yourself at home while I go grab all the bags? I’ll be back in a few.” He waved a hand around his apartment. “Oh, the master bedroom is the last door at the end of the hall, bathroom is the first, and the second bedroom is a guestroom/computer room if you want to check that out too.”

  The door shut behind him and I took that as a sign. I let my nosy self venture around. I ran to the end of the hallway where his bedroom sat and found a king-sized bed with two long dressers and a sliding mirror closet.

  “Why didn’t I get a mirror closet?” I spoke to myself in awe. I had a full-sized body mirror because I needed something to see myself and here, he had a wall to wall closet that was covered with a mirror!
