Finding Fate (Playing it Safe Series Book 1)

by Lisa Gerkey

  “I live in North Carolina. I was in the military. I had to retire early because I was in an accident that injured my leg.” He looks down between us to where our legs are almost touching. “Speaking of legs, Madison, you must run quite a bit.”

  When I see his sexy smirk, I can’t keep from squeezing my legs closer together. I’m not used to feeling this aware of my body when I’m around a guy. It’s never been this way before.

  I’m pissed at myself. I wish I’d taken Michelle up on her advice when she encouraged me to get out and date more. I’m totally out of my elements with Jensen. Part of me thinks it would be fine if I decide to have a little summertime fling with him, even if it’s only for one night. No one would have to know about it if I’m careful. I couldn’t keep Michelle in the dark, of course. She’d tell me to go for it. Hell, she practically did that when she threw me at him earlier.

  “Are you going to tell me where you’re from, pretty lady?”

  “Michelle and I are staying on the beach, not far from here.”

  “You’re on vacation too?”

  “Yep. How long are you going to be here?”

  In my head, I’m already plotting how the next week could be spent, especially if Jensen agrees to meet up again after tonight.

  “It isn’t set in stone. I have almost three weeks before I need to get back to reality and become all responsible again. I normally don’t take this much time just to kick back and have fun, so I plan to enjoy every day I have here. Are you going to be around for a while?”

  While Jensen takes care of ordering us another drink when the waitress approaches our booth, I carefully decide if I’m as ready as I think I am, to go exploring with Jensen this summer.

  “Michelle and I are here for at least a week. Maybe we could…I don’t know if you’d be interested, but we could spend some time together if you want...”

  “Oh, I want.” He winks when he flashes a sexy smirk.

  Before either of us says more, the first slow song I’ve heard play since we came here, comes through the speakers.

  “Dance with me, beautiful.”

  I let him take my hand, pull me from my seat, and lead me to the dance floor. I’m not familiar with the song that’s playing, but it’s a slow love song. The dance floor is crowded with couples tangled up together as they move to the music. The atmosphere feels a little intimate and romantic.

  Jensen pulls me into his arms. I don’t think he’s concerned with the song that’s playing. He’s using the dancing as an opportunity to get me closer to him.

  He’s so much bigger than me. The top of my head reaches to just under his chin. He pulls my body flush with his, chest to chest. He places a hand on each of my hips, and I wrap both arms around his neck. He’s holding onto me as if he’s afraid I’ll disappear. I feel a strong sensation race through my entire body. I don’t mean to do it, but I know the little moan I let out wasn’t silent.

  Jensen guides us, swaying along to the song. I feel his hardness press against my lower stomach. I’ve never understood it when I heard Michelle and our other friends talk about sex. I’ve never had the desire to explore these feelings before, but tonight I’m ready to find out what it’s all about. The spot between my legs is aching. We’ve only been dancing for a few minutes, but being close to Jensen like this has me thinking all kinds of inappropriate thoughts. I take a chance and look up when I feel him looking down at me. His blue eyes are dark and hooded. I can tell he’s turned on.

  “Jensen.”

  He drops his head down when I look up at him, so we’re face to face. I have no time to prepare before his lips are on mine. There are people all around us, but as far as I’m concerned, we’re the only two people here.

  As the music plays, our bodies sway to the slow rhythm. Jensen teases and nips gently at my lips. I feel his tongue dart out to trace the seam, encouraging me to open for him. I move my hands around to grip a handful of his tight t- shirt in each one, and at the same time Jensen lifts me up, so I can wrap my legs around his waist. This position allows me to rub against him, getting some of the friction I need. If I don’t stop, I’m going to have the first orgasm I’ve ever had with another person, right here on the dance floor, and this room full of people are all going to be witnesses.

  “Fuck.” He growls, obviously just as turned on as I am. “I can smell your fucking pussy, blondie. God, I want to fuck you so goddamn bad right now.” He thrusts his hips into my center, making the fire burn that much hotter. The whole time, he moves and sways our bodies to the music. I’m glad it’s nearly dark. I don’t think anyone around us is paying any attention. Honestly, I don’t think I really care. I have no ability to distinguish what’s right or wrong.

  Jensen moves from my lips to trail a path of open-mouthed kisses down the side of my neck. It causes my whole body to tremble. He’s stirring up feelings that aren’t familiar to me, yet I rock into him even harder. I want to chase after these feelings and find out where they take me.

  I’m very close to having something big happen. Much bigger than anything I’ve ever made happen on my own. “Ahh, please, don’t stop.” He dips his head down, and bites one of my nipples right through the shirt I’m wearing. Oh, my god.

  “More, please…Jensen.” Right before I get the relief I so desperately need, he quickly sits me down to stand on my feet. He takes my hand, and pulls me from the dance floor, dousing the fire and killing the flame.

  Chapter Four

  “Jensen”

  The second I see that Madison is about to come undone right there on the dance floor, I know I’m a better man than this. Hell, I like to fuck, but I’ve never gotten off from doing it in front of other people. She was so fucking sexy with her head thrown back, and the little moan she just did, it nearly caused me to lose it. She’s so turned on it’s making her crazy. Watching her is making me crazy.

  I know she must be freaking out because I’m literally almost dragging her to get us through the club. I glance back to see if she seems okay with this, while I push and shove bodies out of our path. I intend to find a quiet place to finish this, but if the mood has passed for her, and she tells me she doesn’t want to do the same thing I do, I’ll respect that. Damn, I’m hoping she hasn’t changed her mind.

  Normally I’d just hit a bathroom stall, but I’m not sure that would fly with Madison. I’m a little confused as to why I care. Usually, if a woman isn’t down for the same things I am, I move on to one who is.

  “Hey, Maddy! It looks like you’re having fun. We saw you all, practically getting it on out there on the dance floor.”

  Drew and Michelle are holding hands. I can also tell Madison’s friend has had quite a few drinks. She’s not falling-down drunk, but she’s tipsy.

  “Uh, Madison…I hate to ask, but do you think you could hang out with Jensen a while longer?” she looks over at Drew and gives him a wink.

  “I’d really like to spend more time with Drew. He wants to take me back to his place, so I can see where he’s staying.”

  Yeah, I bet it’s his place he wants to show her. I don’t say that out loud of course, but still. I’m not in the mood to listen to these two get it on half of the night.

  I’m disappointed I’m not going to get to finish what Madison and I started out on the dance floor. I can tell she’s not happy either.

  “Can’t you do whatever you need to do here and get it over with, Michelle?”

  “Come on, Mads. I thought we wanted to have fun while we’re here. I’ve had a blast with Drew tonight. He’s what I want to do for fun. Maybe you could invite Jensen back to the house with you for a few hours…”

  “How about we all go to our own places tonight, since it’s almost time to sleep anyway? We could meet somewhere tomorrow if you ladies are interested? We could get something to eat and hang out at the beach, or go catch a movie. How does that sound?”

  I hope my suggestion will help relieve some of the tension that’s going on between these two. I’m not rea
dy to admit maybe it’s just me wanting to spend more time with Madison.

  I know we probably shouldn’t be trying to get to know these girls better, but what the hell. Maybe a summertime fling is just what I need before it’s time to get serious with life. I’m sure with the hours I’ll be working I won’t have much time for hook ups. I need to enjoy things while I can, and I’m sure Madison will be more than enough to keep me sated for the summer.

  “I like Jensen’s idea, Michelle. Maybe you should go home with your friend tonight. It’s really not nice to leave her hanging the first night you’re here.”

  I’m a little shocked Drew even wants to see Michelle again. Usually, after one night, he’s done with a chick. Maybe someone interrupted them too. I’m frustrated as hell because they just had to pick that moment to find me and Madison. I should be deep inside her by now, but I guess now I have no choice but to wait until tomorrow to finish what we started.

  “Are you about ready to go?” Madison seems upset with her friend. I notice she keeps looking at her phone. Maybe she’s looking for a ride home.

  I’m shocked at how disappointed I am because our time together is coming to an end tonight. Maybe it’s because my cock isn’t one bit closer to being satisfied than he was when this evening started. It couldn’t possibly be because I like this gorgeous woman, who I’ve just met, a little more than I should. I don’t dare look at those green eyes to search for the answer to that.

  “Let’s just walk. It’s beautiful out tonight.” I get the impression Michelle is trying to buy a little more time with Drew.

  “Yeah, Jensen and I aren’t staying far from here, either. We’d love to walk you girls home, wouldn’t we, Jens?

  Madison and I watch as Michelle practically attacks Drew in her excitement. They don’t seem to care that they’re in public, the way they’re pawing around and sucking on each other’s faces.

  “Sure. Can I walk you home, Madison?”

  “Gah! I can’t believe Michelle’s already inviting a couple of strangers to see where we’re staying.”

  “I get we’re strangers, but I promise, Drew and I aren’t serial killers or anything. You can relax, sweetheart. We’re not going to hurt you, and we’ll make sure you get home safely.”

  I reach down and take Madison’s small hand in mine and lace our fingers together as we follow Drew and Michelle out the door. We stay a few steps behind them while we walk.

  It doesn’t take long until we find a row of nice beach houses. Drew and I share a look, but we don’t say anything when we walk past the house where we’re staying. I’m surprised when I see Michelle guide Drew toward a big house that’s only a few down from us.

  “Hang out with Jensen for a few minutes, Mads. I’m going to show Drew my room.”

  When Michelle and Drew go in the house, I hang back a little bit.

  “You can come inside too, if you want. I need to change clothes. I’m ready to get into something comfortable.”

  “Sure. I’d love to come in, as long as you’re okay with it.”

  The house is huge. I follow Madison up the stairs until we get to the second floor.

  “This is where I’m staying. Michelle’s room is on the top floor, so we shouldn’t have to listen to them.”

  When Madison takes me into her bedroom, I try to ignore the king size bed that sits in the middle of the room. There isn’t much furniture, just the bed with nightstands sitting on both sides, and a desk gets my attention, on the other side of the room.

  “Madison.”

  I don’t know if it’s a question or if I just needed to hear her name on my tongue. Now that we’re alone inside of her bedroom, I’m ready to continue what we started earlier.

  “Come here, pretty girl.”

  I take her hand and lead her further into the room to where the desk sits. I lift her up to sit on the edge, and I stand before her. I take a minute to really look at her. I gaze at her beauty, one inch at a time, from head to toe. I place a hand near each of her knees and guide them apart, so I can move in closer to stand between her toned legs.

  “Jensen, what are we doing?” She’s flushed all over, probably from remembering what we did when we were on the dance floor earlier. She’s so fucking sexy.

  “Sweetheart, I want to make you come, either on my fingers or my face. I didn’t like the idea of having an audience when we were at the club, but we’re alone now.” I smirk when I catch her reaction to my blunt words. I’m not shy when it comes to getting what I want, and right now, I want Madison.

  When she looks at me with those dark green eyes, the heated look I see causes my cock to twitch. I don’t waste any more time, not another second. I claim those sexy fucking lips, soft and full underneath mine. She tastes so fucking sweet and good. I don’t remember a single time I’ve thought things like this when I kissed a girl.

  Hell, most of the time, there’s no kissing. Either I bend the chick over and pound her from behind, or she gets on her knees and takes care of me with her mouth. I never want to make it personal. I don’t have time to get to know her. But, while I have my hands and mouth on her, I can’t stand the thought of being away from her, not until I’ve had my fill.

  I grip Madison’s long blonde hair, and I kiss her with an urgency I can’t explain. She surprises me when she takes control of the kiss for the first time. She licks and explores until I feel her bite down a little, teasing me.

  I’m always the dominant one when it comes to sex. I’ve never been turned on by a woman who needs or wants control as much as I do. Madison’s teasing is cute, but I won’t let her have the lead for long.

  I break our connection briefly, to assess her. I want to be certain I’m not leading her in a direction she doesn’t want to go. “Are you okay with this happening, Madison?” I guide her chin up with my finger, so I can see her pretty eyes while I talk. “I know we’ve just met, but I know I like you, and I especially like everything I see. I want to be sure this goes both ways before we go any further.”

  “I want this. I love the way you make me feel.” She points between the two of us, “I know this is only going to be for now.”

  “I promise I won’t hurt you, but I won’t promise I can be gentle. I’m not an inconsiderate asshole though. I’ll make sure you enjoy it twice as much as I do.” I watch the heat spread across her skin.

  I reach for my shirt to pull it over my head, while she works to remove the sparkly silver sandals she’s wearing on her feet.

  I move back in close to her, so I can feast more on her sexy lips. I lick and nip until she lets me in to explore the depths of her while I let my hands roam over her body. I grip the back of her neck with one hand while I skim the other hand over the swells of her breasts. Then, I move my hands down, so I can reach around and clutch her ass with both hands. I drag her forward and thrust my denim covered crotch into her center. “Fuck, these clothes need to go, baby.”

  The little top she has on fits her like a second skin, so instead of reaching under it, I reach for the hem and with both hands, I slowly work it up over her body. I take a break from kissing, so I can watch when she raises her arms for me to pull it the rest of the way off. Fuck me. Her tits are too damn perfect and one hundred percent real. I’d say they’re close to being a D cup.

  I take a beautiful, plump breast in each of my hands and knead the firm beauties a bit before taking both nipples between my thumbs and forefingers at the same time. I roll them gently, and then I tug on each one before I pinch down lightly, all while I watch her reaction.

  Madison has her head thrown back, and her eyes are closed. I place opened mouthed kisses across her collarbone, and then down over the swells of each breast, while I pinch down on one rosy pebble again.

  “Jensen…”

  Sweet little Madison has some sensitive tits. I’ve barely touched them, and she’s already moaning. I bend down and take a ripe bud between my lips. I swirl my tongue around it a few times, then suck hard. She places her hands behind my
head and starts to pull and tug on my hair. She tries to guide me with her hands, to do things she doesn’t want to ask for. If I had more time with her, I would soon rid her of her shyness and the uncertainty she seems to have with having her body on display. But, I don’t have that kind of time right now.

  When I’m satisfied I’ve lavished each breast equally, I take in the sight of this sexy, mussed-up, beautiful woman before going further. Now is not the time to question why I’m taking so much time with her.

  “Jensen, don’t stop.” She hooks a finger in one of the belt loops on my jeans and uses it to pull me closer.

  “Tell me what you need, sweetheart.”

  “Please, Jensen. I don’t know. Make it stop…or maybe I don’t want it to stop. Please.”

  I place my hand between her parted legs and cup her pussy with my palm. “Here? Is this where you need me?” All I find there is her heat. I don’t think she’s wearing panties under her tight shorts because I can feel the dampness against my fingers. I tease her nipples with my mouth and tongue, while I rub my palm back and forth over her covered pussy, applying a small amount of pressure. “Does this feel good, baby?”

  She starts to rock her ass against my hand, trying to get more friction where she needs it. “Yes, more. Please, don’t stop.”

  She’s on fucking fire, and I know it isn’t going to take much to make her explode. Fuck. I can feel the pre-cum leaking from my dick. I need to be inside of her tight heat soon, or I won’t be able to take it.

  I let go of her nipple with a pop and step back so I can look at her. This girl could be a fucking porn star. She is so damn sexy.

  “Are you sure, Madison? I don’t want to do something you might regret later.”

  If she tells me this is done, I’ll have to find a bathroom to take care of myself, because there’s no way I can walk around like this all night.

  “Please, Jensen. I’m sure. I want this as much as you do. Everyone is a stranger until they get to know each other. Please.”

  I take a few steps back to lock the door. It will buy us some time if Drew or Michelle come looking.
