Affinity: A Salvation Society Novel

by Harlow Layne

  We were about halfway back to the restaurant when I decided I didn’t want our time here to be over. The sun was starting to set, and I wanted to enjoy watching it with my wife.

  Starting to sit, I pulled Abbi down with me until her ass was cozied up to my dick. Wrapping my arms around her, I rested my chin on her shoulder and looked out at the ocean. The sky was a mixture of orange, yellow, and blue. It was my favorite time of day, and why I had wanted to live here. Nothing beats the sunset over the ocean.

  “It’s beautiful,” she said in awe.

  “Not as beautiful as you,” I told her truthfully.

  “It’s so peaceful here.” Her voice was quiet as if any loud noise would shatter the stained-glass sky in front of us.

  “When I’ve had a trying day, watching the sun disappear over the horizon always settles me and reminds me of how little I am compared to the rest of the world. It’s a daily reminder I look forward to.”

  Turning to look at me over her shoulder, Abbi’s gaze zeroed in on my mouth right before she leaned back and pressed her lips to mine. It was feather-light, and I let her take control. If I had the reins, I would have stripped her bare on the sand and slipped inside of her without a care about who saw us.

  Her tongue darted out, and I couldn’t help but suck it into my mouth and swirl my own with hers. Fuck, she tasted better than anything I’d ever sampled before. One hand clutched my shoulder as the fingers of her other hand scraped up the side of my neck and tangled into the hair at the base of my skull. With one little tug, she had me moaning into her mouth and grinding my cock against her back to try and alleviate the ache that had settled there during dinner.

  Breaking away, Abbi stood, and I thought she was going to run away. Instead, she turned and straddled my legs. Her core rested against the zipper of my cargo shorts. I could feel the heat through the fabric of both our clothes. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders as she tilted her head to the side and nibbled up the column of my neck. With each graze of her teeth, I thrust up into her hot center.

  My hand slid down her side until my thumb could press against the zipper of her shorts. Abbi started to move up and down, making sure my thumb hit her in the right spot over and over again. Her movements became hurried and jerky.

  “I want you,” she moaned. “I wish we weren’t in public.”

  “Me too, baby girl. If you had a skirt on, I’d pull those soaked panties to the side and slip inside of you and let you ride me until I filled you with my cum.”

  “Yes,” she moaned. Her mouth latched onto the skin just under my ear as she stilled in place.

  My thumb pressed harder and rubbed faster and faster, the more her body tensed against mine, and her arms squeezed me tight. I knew by the time she was finished, I’d have a nice-sized mark on the side of my neck, but I didn’t care. In fact, I loved that she was marking me, claiming me as hers, even if it was subconsciously.

  As her hands began to slip down my arms, Abbi laid her head on my shoulder. Her hot breath fanned against the sensitive skin she’d sucked on. “From now on, I’m always going to wear a skirt when I’m around you.”

  Holding her tighter, I watch the last remaining rays of the sun slip from the day. “I like the sound of that. Why don’t we get out of here before we get arrested for indecent exposure or worse?”

  Chapter Nineteen

  Abbi

  Jenner pulled me hastily down the beach. I laughed as he zig-zagged through the crowd that had formed at the restaurant, waiting to get a table. He all but pushed me into the SUV and slammed the door, barely missing my leg as I pulled it inside the car. As he rushed to his side, Jenner tripped and went down right in front of the SUV. Before I could get out to check to see if he was okay, he jumped up and was climbing in the car faster than I could blink.

  I couldn’t help but think it was slightly endearing how much he wanted to get into my pants. It was probably close to how much I couldn’t wait to feel the weight of his body on top of mine.

  His right hand came to rest on my knee for only a moment before he started to rub tiny circles on the inside of my thigh. With each graze of his fingertips over my denim-clad leg, I wanted to jump across to the other side of the car and grind myself all over him. Instead, I squirmed in my seat with my hands underneath my legs in an attempt to keep us safe on the road. What happened out on the beach only minutes before had ignited something deep inside of me. My libido was on high after being turned off for the last two years.

  Having not lived in the LA area for long, I had no idea how long it would normally take to drive from Malibu to Beverly Hills, but I was sure it wasn’t the thirty minutes it took Jenner to get to his house. I wasn’t sure how he didn’t get pulled over.

  As we passed through the gate of the neighborhood, his hand slowly slid up my thigh until it grazed the seam of my crotch. I wanted to feel those fingers against my now slick slit.

  I was ready to jump out of the car and jump on Jenner the moment he parked.

  When he removed his hand and banged them both on the steering wheel with a loud yell, all lusty thoughts evaporated.

  “Are you fucking kidding me? What’s she doing here?” Jenner banged the back of his head on his headrest. It was then I noticed a white car sitting in the driveway. Jenner jabbed at the button to open the garage door with enough force that I was surprised he didn’t break his finger.

  Leaning over, I rested a hand on his bicep. The muscle jumped under my touch. “Hey, it’s okay. We have all the time in the world.”

  “Tell that to my dick. If it doesn’t get some real relief soon, I swear it’s going to fall off,” he groused.

  “Saying things like that doesn’t make me want to help you out. In fact, it sounds like you only want me because I’m the only person you can dip your wick in.”

  “Oh, no,” he groaned. His head listed to the side and his eyes pleaded with me to listen to him. “It wasn’t meant to be like that. I haven’t hidden the fact that I want to fuck you, but it’s more than that. You can’t tell me you weren’t feeling it up until now.”

  “I was feeling it. That’s why I said we have plenty of time. Now tell me who the car belongs to.”

  “Catherine, the boner killer.” He said it in such a pained way, I couldn’t help but laugh.

  “Let’s see what she wants, and maybe you’ll still get your happy ending to the day.”

  “Really?” he asked, hopefully. It was cute how easily he perked up.

  “We probably shouldn’t leave her waiting much longer.” I didn’t know if Catherine was here to see Jenner or me, but if she showed up without calling, it couldn’t be good.

  Stepping out of the car, she was waiting at the opening of the garage with her hands on her hips and a deep frown on her face.

  “Catherine, so good to see you. What a surprise.” I put on my best smile as I opened the door that led into the house and waited until she stepped inside before I followed. Turning to look over my shoulder, Jenner sat on the hood of the SUV with his eyes trained on my ass. “Stop looking at my ass and get in here.”

  Walking inside, I found Catherine sitting in one of the leather chairs and was about to take the one across from her when Jenner wrapped an arm around my waist and brought me over to the couch catty-corner from her. Pulling me close, he threw his arm around my shoulders and let his hand dangle. Every few seconds, a finger would brush against my breast, shooting tingles down to my core.

  With raised brows, she crossed her legs and looked at us expectantly. When we all continued to stare at each other, Catherine rolled her lips before she spoke. “Is there anything you want to tell me?”

  “Um . . . ” I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to tell her we were going to try a relationship when we weren’t even twenty-four hours in, and we’d fought multiple times already.

  “I was going to call you once we got home, and as you can see, we just got here.” He gave my shoulder a squeeze, causing me to smile over at him.

  Tap
ping her fingernail on the chair arm, Catherine asked. “Where have you been?”

  “I took Abbi out to eat. It was a late lunch, early dinner. Shit,” he jumped up. “I forgot the leftovers in the car. I’ll be right back.” Jenner sprinted out of the room.

  “Does he seriously think he can avoid me forever?”

  “He’s not, I promise. He ordered a huge amount of food, and it was too good to go to waste.”

  “She’s right,” Jenner interjected as he walked in and placed the food in the refrigerator. “I really was going to call you, but we were having a bonding moment.”

  He sat back down next to me. Closer than ever. I was surprised he didn’t pull me on his lap and grind up against me.

  “I can see that. While I’m happy you two are getting . . . along, I’m here because there are rumors you were fired from Alpha Blue after a huge blow-up.”

  “Not true,” Jenner said at the same time I called out, “They’re lying.”

  “And you know this how, Abbi?” She rose her eyebrows again. Her lips had thinned out, causing me to sweat. Damn, she was intimidating.

  “I went with Jenner this morning. We’ve spent almost every minute together today, so I know there was no blow up. I was there when Jane told him, actually, and it’s the most ridiculous thing ever. The whole cast thinks he’s cursed.”

  I felt Jenner’s body shake next to me. “No one feels safe with me on the set, and Jane promised she would make sure Rick didn’t talk to anyone calling about a recommendation.”

  “Okay, I’m going to call Jane and ask for them to make a statement approved by me. We can’t let people think you went ballistic. You won’t get your movie if they think you’ve been acting up again.”

  “Sounds perfect.” Jenner jumped up again. “If that’s all, we have some things to attend to before we go to bed.”

  Catherine rolled her eyes with a grin on her face. “I’m happy to see the both of you are getting along. I guess it won’t be hard to do your weekly mandated dates out in public.”

  “We had our first one today,” Jenner proudly announced. “And now that I’ll have more free time—”

  “Let me stop your right there,” Catherine interrupted him. “You seem to have forgotten Abbi works for me and will be at the office bright and early on Monday morning.”

  Jenner’s face fell as he crossed his arms over his chest. It was sweet he wanted to spend more time with me, but if we were together twenty-four-seven, he would get tired of me.

  Standing, I went to him and placed my hands on his bulging biceps. “But I will be coming home every night. Maybe you can cook dinner while I’m at work.” I smiled at my joke. The only food he would be producing was by calling it in. Even with having to go to work, I could throw some ingredients in a crockpot before I left in the morning, and we’d have something to eat when I got home.

  “Maybe Abbi can work from home for the foreseeable future?” he asked hopefully. “I don’t think she’s ready to be driving with the paparazzi on her tail yet.”

  Taking a step back, it was my turn to cross my arms over my chest. “I’ll be fine.”

  Catherine gave me an appraising look. I didn’t want to lose my job before I ever got to sit behind my desk.

  “If you’re so worried about her, why don’t you drive her to work?” she challenged. I loved how she never backed down, and I knew I’d learn a lot from her once I finally got to start working next week.

  “Is that all?” he questioned again. This time his tone was less than friendly.

  “For now, but please don’t get yourself in any trouble while Abbi is at work.” Catherine stood, her purse on her shoulder and her phone already out. “It doesn’t matter what Alpha Blue says; there will still be people stating you acted out, especially with it already circulating.”

  “I don’t think you have anything to worry about with Jenner. He’s been ideal.” I followed her to the front door.

  “Good to know. Now I can go out on a date with my husband. He’s been gone for a few days, and I’ve missed him.” She gave us a wave before turning and disappearing down the sidewalk.

  “Did you mean that?” he asked the moment I closed the door and locked it.

  “Of course, I did. I wouldn’t lie to you or Catherine. I know she’s worried, and I wanted to reassure her that I’ve seen the man she told me was deep down inside of here.” I gave his chest a pat.

  “Thanks for sticking up for me. I’m not used to it. I’ve only had Catherine and Alex on my side, so it feels good to have you there right along with them.”

  It had to hurt to have the entire world always thinking badly of you. Jenner may have thought it was only us on his side, but I knew that wasn’t the case. Jane and Clara saw the real him, and I was sure there were others too.

  “Thank you for being concerned about me.”

  Wrapping both of his arms around me, he pulled me against his rock-hard body, making it nearly impossible for me to concentrate on his words. “If you want me to drive you to work, I can. At least until there’s another scandal, and they’re not waiting for you outside the gate.”

  “I might take you up on that, big boy.”

  “Big boy? I like the sound of that. You haven’t even seen the main attraction.” He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

  “I hate to disappoint you, but I saw it the morning we woke up in Vegas. If I remember correctly, it wasn’t all that big.” I was lying to get a rise out of him. The weapon he had in his pants was indeed a weapon. After seeing it, I wasn’t sure how he hadn’t destroyed my lady bits as we consummated our marriage.

  Grabbing me by the hips, Jenner lifted me in the air and threw me over his shoulder. His large hand made a resounding smack on my ass as he headed to his bedroom. “I’ll show you big, sweet cheeks.”

  Laughing, I smacked his firm ass as he walked. He had fallen right into my plan.

  “Are you sure you want to do this?” I nodded my affirmation as he laid me down on the bed. Why was he hesitating? “Just yesterday you wanted to take this slow. Not that I’m complaining, but I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.”

  Lifting up on my elbows, I placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. “The only thing I’m going to regret is if you don’t stick your dick in me. I want you, Jenner. I have for a very long time, so stop making me wait.”

  “Those words are music to my ears,” he grinned down at me. “I’ve been dying to see what’s under your clothes, and to see your magical tits again. I hope this time we remember it.”

  “I have no doubt you’ll make it memorable.” My hand slid under his t-shirt, and I let my nails scrape up and down his torso. “Take your shirt off. I want to see you.”

  Lifting up, Jenner grabbed his shirt by the back of the neck and ripped it over his head, throwing it on the floor.

  My hands skated across the planes and ridges of his abdomen. With each new touch, the steel muscles flexed underneath his soft, tanned skin.

  “I need to see you, too,” he husked out. His already deep voice now filled with lust. He wasted no time ridding me of my shirt and bra. He was clearly skilled in the art of removing a woman’s clothes. His hands cupped my breasts and massaged them while his eyes never stopped watching what he was doing. “I knew you’d be perfect. Your pretty pink nipples are calling for me to bite them and suck them deep into my mouth.” The last was said on a growl.

  Before I could respond, he did as he promised. With his mouth on one breast, he pinched and massaged the other with his hand. I was a mess underneath him. I had no idea I could almost come just from having a man's mouth on my breast until now. I could feel his solid length against my thigh, and I wanted nothing more than to feel every inch of him on me.

  Switching sides, he bit down hard on my nipple. My back arched, and I writhed against his leg. “I need more,” I moaned out. “Please.”

  Letting go of my breast with a pop, Jenner slid off the side of the bed and pulled me to the edge. Popping the button of m
y shorts, he slid them down my legs with a salacious smile on his face. Before I could ask him what he was doing, he was on his knees, burying his face between my legs and licking up the center of my pussy, straight for my clit. With the lace of my panties between us, they were causing the most delicious amount of friction. I was already primed from before, so it only took a few rough swipes with his tongue to send me over the edge. My legs clamped around his head as he continued his ministrations.

  Just as I was coming down, Jenner pulled my panties to the side and started to lick me again, only this time it was even better. The feel of his warm, slick tongue on my sensitive flesh was almost too much. I wasn’t sure I could come again. I was a one and done girl with Greg, but Jenner was proving he was a much better man for me in all kinds of ways lately.

  “I don’t think I can go again,” I said even as I bucked up against his face.

  “I have no doubt that you can, baby girl. Give yourself over to me, and I’ll make you come over and over again.”

  Slipping two fingers inside of my deep channel, his soft tongue lapped at my bundle of nerves. My legs started to shake, and my hands clutched the bedspread as he drove me higher and higher. Never in my life had I felt so connected to someone. The way he was worshipping my body almost brought me to tears. I wanted to feel him inside of me. To know what it felt like to be stretched by him and have each inch of him slide in and out of me.

  Pulling on his hair, I didn’t stop until he was looking up at me with my juices covering his face. “I want to feel you inside of me.”

  “All in good time. I want to feel your juice all over my fingers and mouth one more time, and then I’m going to slide deep inside of you, and I don’t plan to leave for the rest of the night.”
