Impossible To Resist (BWWM Romance Book 1)

by Lacey Legend

  Jared’s hands traveled around to A.J.’s back, searched out the zipper holding her dress in place and worked it down. He pulled the dress down and let it puddle at A.J.’s feet. She stood before him, clad only in a lacy black bralette and matching, barely-there thong. Jared stepped back to admire her body. His eyes roved over her, paused at her breasts and made sure she was watching him as he dropped to his knees before her.

  Jared looked up her body into her eyes as he kissed up her inner thigh to the vee of her legs where he hovered briefly to toy with her before he worked up her flat, lightly muscled abdomen toward her breasts. His hands deftly unfastened A.J.’s bra and he cast it aside, not caring where it went so long as her breasts were released. They were even better than he imagined, firmer, larger, and with perfectly swollen nipples that teased him.

  Jared pressed his face between her luscious, heaving breasts. He wrapped her legs around his waist in one smooth motion and moved toward his bedroom.

  “Your leg.” A.J. exhaled and detached from his body, careful to avoid his leg as she dismounted. Instead, she slid an arm around his waist and leaned up to kiss him. “Don’t undo all the work we’ve done or I’ll be really pissed off.” She smiled coyly. “Now about that convincing…”

  A long, low growl reverberated from deep in his chest. He led her back to the bedroom and shut the door behind them. Without a word, A.J. was on him. She tore at his shirt, popped off several buttons in her bid to remove it. Jared shrugged out of the ruined top as A.J. fumbled at his belt. Her breasts wobbled with every movement, teasing him until he couldn’t take it any longer. Jared’s hands flew to her ripe breasts, he massaged them, tugged at her hard nipples as she worked his pants off.

  His hands slid down her sides and caused her to shiver. He pulled at the ties to A.J.’s thong until it fell to the floor in a heap of strings. He stepped out of his pants, kicked them away and A.J.’s eyes flared as she realized he wore no underwear at all.

  Jared pushed A.J. toward the bed, propelled her backward until they fell on it, a heap of limbs struggling to gain the upper hand until Jared submitted and allowed A.J. to straddle him, her weight a welcome sensation on his chest. He could smell her, sweet, sticky and welcoming. Jared knew she was wet and longed to bury his face in her mound, to force her to watch him bring her to the very edge without sending her over. Not yet.

  A.J. had other plans and dug her legs into either side of his torso to lock him in place. She dipped her face forward, tugged at his lower lip and seductively pulled at it, teasing him as he’d teased her. Jared reached for her breasts but again she silently shut him down, just pushed his hands to the bed and held them there while she toyed with him.

  A.J.’s hair fell over his face, tickling his chin as she kissed along the corded muscles at his neck. She finally released his hands only to guide them to her hips, a reminder that A.J. remained in control. Jared pulled her closer, maneuvered her up his body until his tongue could reach her core. He entered her, held her in place while he licked and probed her velvety folds, pushing deeper with every moan that escaped her lips. A.J. rocked into him, muscles quaking as Jared pushed her further, closer to the edge until she began to quake.

  He didn’t relent, not until she began to jerk and cried out her approval. Jared sucked and teased until A.J. succumbed in a violent explosion. Her neatly trimmed mound glistened in the dim light of the room but Jared didn’t get to admire it for long because A.J. rolled off and collapsed beside him.

  “Holy shit,” A.J. gasped between pants.

  “Convinced yet?” Jared shifted to his side so that his own arousal pressed against A.J.’s thigh. She looked over to him, eyes blazing with need as her fingers made their way down his abdomen to his shaft. The warmth of her hand sent shock waves through his body.

  “Not quite,” A.J. teased. “But you’re getting there.”

  Jared slipped his hand under her hip and rolled her back on top of him.

  “I love a challenge.”

  He pushed the tip of his erection into her luscious mound and guided her hips until she completely sheathed his sex. A.J.’s eyes flared and Jared maneuvered her up and down his shaft with increasing speed. He watched her face, her every tic as she rode him, building toward another orgasm.

  To buy more time, Jared slowed and rolled them over so that he could cover A.J. He made a show of lifting one of her long, muscular legs over his shoulder before he drove into her again, deeper than before. Jared rocked into her with renewed fire and better access to her luscious breasts. He teased her rosy nipple with his free hand as he fell into rhythm pounding at her silky sex. Jared pushed harder, quickening his pace, until A.J. panted harder beneath him and moaned his name, her body covered in a thin sheen of sweat like his own.

  The world fell away until only A.J. existed, hair splayed on his pillow and eyes closed as she bit her lip in anticipation of the blossoming tidal wave building in his core. Jared focused on her lips, then his eyes traveled to her breasts and down to where they joined. He couldn’t refrain any longer and lost it, exploding into her with a force unlike any he’d experienced before. Jared collapsed on the bed beside her, one leg left lazily over hers. He shifted an arm to cover her breasts, one hand strategically cupped one of them and toyed with the nipple as A.J. recovered beside him.

  “That was pretty convincing,” A.J. slurred.

  “That?” Jared laughed. “That was just me warming up.”

  A.J. chuckled, rolled away from him, and slid out of bed. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

  “Wait, where are you going?” Jared lifted his head to follow her as she walked away, toward the door, as if to leave.

  “This has been… enlightening.” A.J. smiled at him. “But I have to go. I have responsibilities that I’m sure Ally has told you all about.”

  Jared nodded. “Your sister, right?”

  “Yes. My sister,” A.J. agreed, fastened her bra and adjusted herself. She plucked her underwear from the floor but didn’t make an effort to put them back on. “Do you understand?”

  “Absolutely,” Jared lied. He didn’t know much about the story because Ally had said it wasn’t her tale to tell. But, that apparently had to wait for another time. He crawled out of bed and pulled on a pair of track pants and caught up to A.J. in the hall.

  “I would love to see you again,” A.J. said cautiously.

  “Does that mean you’re convinced?” Jared flashed his favorite boyish grin and followed her into the kitchen to reclaim her dress.

  “Almost,” A.J. replied as she pulled her dress up and turned for him to zip her up.

  Jared complied and added a soft kiss to the nape of her neck. “I look forward to persuading you.”

  He led the way to the front door and opened it for her. A.J. leaned up and kissed him full on the mouth. She tugged at his lower lip just a bit then backed away.

  “I’ll see you soon.” A.J. turned on her heel and took off for her car before Jared could say another word. He closed the door but watched from the window as she backed out of the driveway and disappeared from sight. Jared leaned against the wall and grinned to himself.

  Chapter5

  “I think you just need some real gym time.”

  Dr. Radlinski didn’t even look up from his chart to deliver the news. His half-rimmed glass sat at tip of his pointed nose. The man’s salt and pepper hair seemed to defy gravity as it screamed “mid-life crisis”, even more than the sporty sneakers he’d paired with his designer knock-off suit in an obviously desperate attempt to appear younger.

  “You’re free to return to full work outs. Just make sure you ease into them since you’ve been out of it for a while.”

  “So, I’m clear to play then?” Jared asked eagerly.

  He eyed the pale pink scar peeking out from the edge of his athletic shorts, fully healed but occasionally still stiff in the mornings, especially after a date with A.J. They’d been spending a lot of time together over the past few weeks and it usually entailed some
thing athletic, not that Jared was complaining because they spent plenty of time in the bedroom, too, but it really worked his leg.

  “As far as I’m concerned,” Dr. Radlinski dropped his pen and finally looked up at Jared. “Shake off the rust and you may be better than ever. Like I told your agent, A.J. is the best in the business at getting people better.”

  “Yeah, she really pushed me,” Jared agreed.

  “She can be tough,” Dr. Radlinski nodded, “but A.J. knows how to push her patients to reach their best possible outcome. She’s an athlete, too, you know.”

  Jared bobbed his head in acknowledgment and pushed off the table. “I actually saw her play in college. She’s really talented.”

  “Yeah, she plays pick-up games sometimes at the rec center. Puts those boys to shame.” Dr. Radlinksi shook his head. “You should check it out sometime. I don’t think she’s lost a step.”

  “I’ll try to get down there,” Jared promised even though he’d already seen A.J. in action. He’d been embarrassed for the guys who tried to play against her. Half of them were panting, balls of sweat before A.J. showed any signs of being winded.

  “Good luck, Jared.” Dr. Radlinski stood and extended his hand. “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

  Jared took his hand. “Thank you, Doc. I appreciate it.”

  He forced the words out but practically choked on them since he’d only seen the doctor a few times and today’s visit boasted the most face time of all the visits. It had been A.J. who got Jared through the recovery and back on track, not Dr. Radlinski who clearly couldn’t wait to take the credit.

  “Oh, and Doc, could we keep this under wraps a little longer? I want a little more gym time to get my form back before I head back.”

  “Absolutely,” Dr. Radlinski assured him. “I think we can put everybody off for a few more weeks to give you some time to bulk up. Make sure to add in some protein shakes.” He flashed a grin of dismissal and turned back to his desk.

  Jared took the cue and slipped out of the office. He had places to be anyway. As promised, Micah, Max, and Paul waited for him in the waiting room, similarly dressed in mesh shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers. They’d leapt at the opportunity to work out with Jared and were waiting eagerly for him to get the all clear.

  “Let’s go, guys.”

  “Are you sure about this, Jay?” Paul pressed from the front seat of the SUV. “It’s bound to draw some attention.”

  “Doubtful. This place is usually pretty dead at this time of day except for the guys who play basketball.” Jared shrugged. “They’re pretty excited about the whole thing and the staff didn’t complain about the bonus for their silence.”

  “Quit trying to ruin it, Paul,” Micah chastised from the back seat. “This is gonna be awesome.”

  They pulled up to the rec center and bailed out of the car. The parking lot sat all but empty, just a smattering of cars. They ambled up to the front door and Jared knocked lightly. The door swung open and they were greeted by one of the rec center employees, a perky redhead making her way through college while working part time at the rec.

  “Hey-ya, Cass.” Jared offered a lop-sided grin. “How’s it coming?”

  “Great! Everything’s ready to go and the guys are waiting in the gym.” Cass beamed, her ponytail bounced as she whirled to lead them toward the gym. “I think it’s all set.”

  “Great, thanks, Cass.” Jared stopped at the doors and gestured for the brothers to go ahead of them. “Give us a heads up when they get here, okay?”

  “Sure thing!” Cass bounded off to the front doors to wait for their special guests.

  Jared exhaled and put on his game face. He strolled into the gym exuding as much confidence as he could muster. “Alright, guys. Let’s make this good. Does everybody know what they’re doing?”

  The guys greeted him with grins and cheers. Several stepped up and slapped him on the back approvingly or just shook his hand.

  “Man, this is a great thing you’re doing.” One sandy-haired, beanpole stepped forward and offered his hand to Jared, “I can’t believe you put all of this together. I never would have guessed you’d be so cool. But, if A.J. swears you’re good people, then you are.”

  “Thanks.” Jared shook the guy’s hand firmly. “Just trying to do some good while I’m here.”

  “This is really good, man.” The sandy-haired guy said seriously before slipping away to join his buddies.

  “Are you sure you're ready for this?” Micah popped up beside Jared.

  “Yeah, I’m sure.” Jared nodded. “How did the jerseys turn out?”

  “Great!” Micah held one out to him, a white basketball jersey trimmed in navy blue. “Here’s yours.”

  Jared accepted the jersey and pulled it over his head as Cass popped her head in the gym.

  “They’re here!”

  A.J. appeared next, clad in her hospital scrubs and followed by a nurse pushing one of the kids from Amherst’s Pediatric Wing. They filed into the gym, one by one, some walking, some pushed by nurses, but all with wide eyes taking in the fully decorated gym. The pick-up basketball players handed jerseys to each of the kids as they passed beneath the blue and white balloon archway to the tune of ‘Eye of the Tiger.’ A.J. strode across the gym to greet Jared and gave him a quick, chaste kiss on the cheek.

  “This is incredible,” A.J. surveyed the gym, complete with stations for several different sports from golf to football to basketball. “I can’t believe you did all of this.”

  Jared beamed. “I didn’t do all of it. I had a lot of help from these guys. They were more than willing to help.”

  “Probably because of Jack’s little brother,” A.J. said casually. She subtly gestured toward the sandy-haired guy helping a young boy grip a football. “Jack transferred to a college back here so he could support Caden through his therapy. This probably means a lot to him.”

  “I had no idea.” Jared watched the brothers laugh together, despite the younger’s obviously frail state. “I’m really glad we did this, A.J.”

  “Me, too,” A.J. agreed and gave his hand a squeeze. “You’re getting a really big reward later.”

  “Really?” Jared arched an eyebrow at A.J.

  “Absolutely.” A.J. leaned up and kissed him on the cheek then disappeared into the crowd to play with the kids.

  “She’s so hot,” Max stepped up, sporting his own jersey and an appreciative smirk. “I get the appeal now.”

  “Yeah.” Jared watched her move through the kids and the way their faces lit up at her attention.

  “Yeah? That’s all you have to say?” Max’s eyes widened and he slapped Jared on the shoulder. “Dude, you’ve got it bad.”

  Jared’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He checked the caller ID and frowned. Derek, again. Jared declined the call for the third time today. He wasn’t ready to deal with that world, especially not today.

  “How long are you going to ignore your life?” Max asked casually.

  “I’m not,” Jared answered defensively. “I just want to devote my time to this today. Look at these kids, they are so happy.”

  “Mmhmm,” Max murmured. “It seems like you’re avoiding life, man. But, I think life is going to catch up with you in an ugly way if you don’t handle your shit.”

  “I will, Max. I’ll call Derek tomorrow,” Jared promised. “Let’s just do this, okay?”

  “Whatever you say, man, whatever you say.” Max shook his head and walked away to join the festivities.

  “So you’re the guy.” A young girl ambled up to him. Jared didn’t need an introduction to know who she was.

  “Hi.” Jared stuck out his hand nervously. “You must be Jaida.”

  The girl smiled. She favored A.J. but for the lop-sided grin, a remnant of her accident. She held out her good hand and shook his lightly. “I am.”

  “It is a pleasure to meet you.” Jared smiled down at her. “I’ve been asking to meet you for a while.”

  “I know
.” Jaida’s eyes skipped to her sister. “She’s kinda protective.”

  “I get that,” Jared agreed. “I’m glad you came today.”

  “This is cool,” Jaida said with approval. “Alex likes you.”

  Jared chuckled. “She does?”

  “Yeah, or she wouldn’t have let me come,” Jaida admitted. “I hang out with those kids a lot. They are my only friends.”

  “Why are they your only friends?” Jared frowned.

  “The kids at school make fun of me,” Jaida replied evenly. “They think I’m weird because I can’t use my arm or walk right and I talk funny.”
