I shook my head. “No, baby, this is perfect,” I assured him. “Let’s go there.” I pointed to the photo booth. “I want to have it for my dorm room.”
“You have plenty of pictures on your phone.”
“Not like these.”
Hutch was right about my phone. I had been forcing him to take selfies with me lately as well as taking just single shots of him as often as possible. But he didn’t really complain and as we climbed into the booth, he pulled me onto his lap, whispering into my ear about how much he enjoyed seeing me smile and making me happy.
“Laugh with me,” I urged before I tickled Hutch’s side as the flash went off. I planted a wet one on his lips for the second one, we made a silly face for the third, and I bit his chin for the fourth.
Hutch reached out to shove more money into the slot. “Another,” he told me before he licked my cheek in time for the camera to go off. Another kiss, another silly photo, and then all smiles for the last and final picture.
Fuck if I didn’t love Hutch more now than I did this morning. I planned to tell him before I left, just so he knew what he meant to me.
Hutch helped me from the booth so we could grab our photos. “Jills.” He grinned at me as he held out one of the film of pictures. “These are amazing.” He searched my face, and when his gaze met mine, the smile vanished from his handsome face. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
I shook my head. “Nothing, I just...I’m going to miss this. You know.” I waved my hand around in the air. “These are great.” I didn’t want to upset him after he had gone through all this trouble on my last weekend. Hutch’s hand came up to turn my face up to his. “Don’t,” I pleaded.
“Want to ride the Ferris wheel now? I was going to wait until later, but I think we should do it now.”
I took the pictures and made sure they were safe in my purse as we got in line for the ride.
Hutch’s hand was tight around mine, our fingers locked together, and I remembered how it felt only a few weeks ago when we did. The nerves, the way Hutch seemed so scared and anxious. He hadn’t had a panic attack in such a long time. Once the bar was locked in place, Hutch leaned his arm around my shoulders without saying anything until the ride began to move.
“You’re pretty special, Jills.” I glanced over at him, only Hutch had his eyes glued straight ahead. “I think I knew that the morning we had breakfast. How easily you calmed me down, assuring me no one was staring at me, but I wanted to tell you now.” He swallowed, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down his throat. He slid his arm down from around my shoulders, grabbing my hand on the way. “I love you.”
My whole body went warm as the ride stopped right at the top. “Hutch...” I hadn’t expected that. I had hoped, but he was just the most amazing man, and for him to tell me how he felt was such a big step for him.
Hutch nodded. “I know, I know, but I just wanted to tell you before I chickened out, and before you left for New York.”
I kissed him before he could say anything else; my heart beating so loud in my ears. “I love you, too.” I felt the smile that spread across his lips upon my admission against mine before he pulled away.
“I had to tell you here, Jillybean, this place is ours.”
“I’m glad you did.”
As the ride began to move again, I saw the pink in Hutch’s ears, the happiness in his eyes, and felt the heaviness in my heart. The more this weekend went on, the harder it was going to be for me to let him go.
“Do you want to get something to eat? How about a caramel apple? Oh, I could really go for one of those right now.” Hutch clapped his hands together.
My brows dipped. “It’s not even ten in the morning.” I pointed out. “Is your stomach made of cement?” I teased, trying to push my feelings aside.
“Possibly.” He slipped an arm around my waist. “You’re not hungry?” We moved around the crowds that had started to get larger. The tourists would be going home soon, and the carnival would close after Labor Day weekend.
I shook my head. “I’ll have a bite of yours.”
“Heathen, get your own, because I am not sharing,” Hutch teased as we got in line. “I’m not the only one who wants something sweet this early.” He grinned. “Jilly, are sure you’re alright?” His fingers traced little circles on my hip.
I pressed my lips together. “Perfect,” I lied as we stepped up to the counter so Hutch could place his order. I couldn’t ruin his day. Not after he told me he loved me.
Once Hutch ordered his food, we found a place to sit. He munched happily on his apple, allowing me a couple of bites, and smiled at me as he ate. I took a couple of pictures because I wanted to remember this day, making sure to add it to my Instagram. Not surprisingly, Hutch didn’t have one, and didn’t have a Facebook or Instagram at first either, but created accounts when I told him I could tag him in our pictures.
“Did you just tag me in another picture?” he groaned with a hint of a smile when he dragged his phone from his pocket. He rolled his eyes as he unlocked his phone, but broke out into a big grin when he saw the photo I posted. I had posted a picture with both of us biting into the sides of his caramel apple. “You’re adorable, you know that?” Hutch twisted his lips into a kiss. “Right here, Jilly,” he instructed pointing to his mouth.
I stood up to kiss him as he asked and then eased myself onto his right knee. “You’re going to keep that Facebook after I leave, right?” I asked, leaning into him.
“Of course.” He placed the half-eaten apple on his napkin. “Why?” He tilted his head. “I’m planning on liking every single picture you post of yourself in your leotard.” He chuckled when I swatted at him. “Are you sure you’re okay, Jillybean? You’re not acting like yourself this morning. Something on your mind?”
I dropped a kiss to his neck. “Nothing is on my mind,” I assured him. I knew how Hutch’s mind worked. The last thing I needed was for him to think I was going to break up with him today or any day. As he reached for the caramel apple, I felt the lick of desire race through me as he ran his tongue against the fruit. “Can we get out of here?” I felt my core clench. “Take me home,” I murmured.
“Home? Are you sure because...Oh. Home.” Hutch must have realized what I meant when he pulled back to see the look in my eyes. “Let’s go, Jills.” He helped me to my feet.
Jillian sighed. “Deal.” Her lips turned up into a small smile.
I dropped my hands so that I could pull her into a tight hug. “Now, where’s that present,” I teased.
Chapter Sixteen
Hutch
We hardly made it into the front door of my apartment before Jillian was tugging on my jeans, yanking my dick from my boxers, and dropping to her knees. “Jesus Christ.” I groaned as she sucked the shaft right down to the balls. I pulled on her bun, trying to pry her off, but she held tight, sucking me, and stroking me with her hand where she couldn’t reach. “Jillian, we have plenty of time for this,” I moaned as she rolled my balls between her fingers.
“Can’t stop.” She looked up at me from under her lashes. “Want you so bad,” she murmured as she sat back up on her feet. “Tell me you want me, Hutch. I love you, please.”
There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted Jillian to be the first woman I made love to. “I want you.” I watched as she climbed to her feet and began to strip out of her clothes. First the tank top, followed by her shorts, and then her bra, leaving just her barely-there pink thong.
“You’re sure?” Jillian pressed her nearly naked body against mine. “I don’t want to pressure you into doing something you’re not ready for, baby.” Her green eyes shimmered with heat and lust. “We can wait as long as you want.” She sank her teeth into her fat bottom lip, which would have sealed the deal if it I hadn’t already made up my mind about this.
I wrapped my arms around Jillian’s slim body. “You taught me how to live again, Jillian,” I murmured as I covered her mouth with mine. “I have waited a long time for this moment
with you.” Her lips were pillow soft as we kissed, so slow and easy like we had done before, but the longer it went on, the more I felt the need to devour her.
“Hutch,” Jillian whispered my name as her hands clung to my shirt, her breath hot against mine. She didn’t have to say anything else. I knew exactly what she meant.
Slowly without breaking apart, we made our way to the bed where I eased her onto the mattress. I still had my jeans wrapped around my ankles, and I took a step back to remove them before I did the same with my shirt. I stared down at where she laid, my heart beating so loud and so fast, and I felt a smile spread across my face. “I love you.” I couldn’t stop the words that tumbled from my mouth.
“I love you, too.” Jillian leaned up onto her forearms as her eyes dragged over my body.
I dropped to my knees. “Spread your legs for me,” I instructed and watched as she did as she was told. I grabbed her hips to pull her to the end of the bed admiring how wet and ready she already was for me. Like she always was. I ran my finger over her clit, and Jillian’s hips arched forward, her head fell back, and my cock jerked between my legs.
“Make me come, Hutch, don’t tease me,” she moaned, bringing her fingers up to her hard nipples. “You know how much I hate that.” Her eyes were pinned to mine.
I smirked. “You want me to make you come, Jills?” I leaned forward so that my lips brushed her pussy. I pushed my tongue between her folds and circled her drenched bud, causing her to cry out my name. I curved one finger to slip it inside; never removing my mouth from her core, and Jillian’s cries only began to get louder.
“Hutch...” Jillian dropped a hand into my hair. “Fuck, don’t stop.” I loved how vocal she was, how she was never afraid to tell me what she wanted or exactly what she needed from me. “God, that feels so damn good, baby.” Jillian bucked her hips as I continued to bring her closer to her orgasm. “I can’t wait to have your cock inside me.” She was always so damn dirty when we fooled around too. “Baby, let me suck you off right now.”
I sat back on my feet. “What?” I stared up at her.
“I want to suck you off while you eat me out.” She gave me a sexy smile as she crawled over to me on the mattress. “Don’t be shy now, Hutch, I know you’re itching to come as much as I am.”
“God, you’re filthy today.” I climbed up onto the bed only to have Jillian move over my body and plant her crotch in my face. I groaned as she straddled me, and I felt her hand wrap around my cock, her tongue rolling against my shaft before her mouth found its way around the tip of my dick. “Jilly,” I whispered as I dragged my tongue against her clit. I was going to come before I had time to finish her off.
Jillian made a soft, sexy giggle sound as she swallowed me whole, and I gripped her hips to keep them in place, digging my fingers into her skin. Fuck, she knew how to make me feel good. Her mouth was so hot, her tongue rolling around my dick, and I felt liquid fire in my veins as we pleasured one another, until I couldn’t hold back any longer.
Blood roared in my head as Jillian cradled my balls and coaxed me to climax. I thought I might blackout, I came so hard panting and roaring like an animal, but when Jillian started grinding against my face, I knew she was there with her release. When we were done, she flopped down next to me, trying to catch her breath.
I watched Jillian as she brought her arm up to her forehead, her eyes closed, and her body glittery with sweat. She dragged her teeth across her bottom lip which woke my dick right back up, and then must have realized I was watching because she broke into a beautiful smile, quickly switching her position so her head was next to mine. Jillian intertwined our legs and placed her hand against my chest. “You’re so good with that mouth,” she teased, bringing hers lips to mine. “I’m going to—”
I didn’t let her finish because I knew what she was going to say. I didn’t want to hear it. Not now, not today because I was going to miss her more than she could even imagine. Instead I crushed my lips against hers and Jillian’s hands slid up my chest, throat, and into my hair. “Don’t,” I whispered as I pulled back. “Let’s not talk about that now.” I watched her brows dip. “Deal?” I swung her up onto my lap.
Jillian nodded.
I shook my head and flipped her around until she was beneath me. “Deal?” I asked again as I pressed my rock-hard cock against her stomach.
“Deal.” Jillian’s voice came out in a soft moan.
I eased her thighs open. “Will I need a condom, Jillybean?” I nipped the soft skin on her neck, loving how easily I could slide between her legs.
“Birth control.” Jillian’s nails dug into my back, causing pain and pleasure to roll through me. “Hutch, you’re doing it again,” she warned as I continued to tease us both.
I growled into her neck, “You do realize I’m going to last about ten seconds.” I had never known how to pleasure a woman. She knew that, but I still wanted to try to make this enjoyable for both of us.
Jillian pulled my face up to hers. “Baby, we’ll do it again. All night long if you want.” She kissed the tip of my nose.
I reached down between us and slipped my dick against her entrance, keeping my eyes locked on Jillian’s greens. She laced her fingers through my free hand as I slipped the tip in and a delicious shiver raced through my body, right up my spine. “Jilly.” I gritted my teeth as she clenched and rippled around me. “Fuck, I can’t...it feels too good,” I panted.
“Keep going.”
I shook my head. “I...give me a second.” I felt the beads of sweat that had already begun to break out on my face and back as I stilled. I wasn’t even all the way inside, but my balls were tingling, telling me I was going to come.
Jillian pursed her lips. “Hutch,” she murmured and arched her hips, trying to get me to move. “I need you inside me.”
Fucking hell.
I groaned as I finally pushed all the way in, filling Jillian as she locked her legs around my waist. I pulled out slowly and glanced down to look at the way we were joined together, my eyes rolling slightly as pleasure pulsed through my body. It felt too good to ease back the reins even though I wanted to take the time to enjoy it.
“That’s it,” Jillian whimpered as she withered below me. “Hutch, God, yes.” She tried to let go of my hand, but I held on tight so I could lean down to take one of her nipples between my lips, knowing that’s what she needed.
Only it didn’t take long before I exploded inside Jillian like I knew I would, and sounds I have never heard myself make were coming from my throat as I buried myself so deep inside her pussy, I was afraid I’ll never want to come out. I felt Jillian bite down on my shoulder as she came, and the way she gripped me like a vise made me want to do it again and again. My head dropped down to Jillian’s neck and her hands instantly combed my damp hair as I once again tried to catch my breath.
“How was that?” she whispered softly, her legs still wrapped around my waist. “Was it how you always thought it would be?”
I flattened my palms against the bed to look down into her eyes. “You have no idea how amazing that felt, Jillybean.” I kissed her soft lips. “But we’re not done.” I could already feel my length hardening inside her again.
“No?”
I flipped us over so Jillian was now on top. “You promised me all night long.” I smirked.
Jillian didn’t waste time as she began to rotate her hips. “Feels even better like this,” she moaned, and as she threw her head back, I reached up to pull her back down by the nape of her neck, bringing her lips to mine.
She began to ride my dick slowly, taking us both to the brink, stopping, and then repeating again, over and over, for what felt like hours. Jillian murmured sweet nothings into my ear, telling me she loved me, that I’m the only one that ever made her feel like this, and that she’ll never love another man the way she loves me, and then finally, when I was practically begging her to let me come, she finally did. I felt Jillian’s wetness spread between her legs, watching as her ey
es rolled back, and her mouth fell open, but no sound came out as she clenched my cock tightly. Her hands dug into my shoulder as she bounced on my lap, and then a loud scream ripped from her lips as she exploded with a force I’d never seen.
I was happy. In love. All because of Jillian Robinson. She shimmied off my body, leaving my poor dick to flop against my stomach. I pulled her against me so that I could hold her tight. Neither one of us spoke until my stomach rudely interrupted us with its reminder of the fact that all I’d eaten today was a caramel apple.
Jillian snorted. “Hungry?” Her hand slipped against my stomach, and just her touch was enough to make my cock twitch again. “Or something else?” Her eyes gazed up at me with longing. “Both, maybe?” She leaned down to drop a kiss against the tip of my dick. “Why don’t we order something in, and then we can shower, fuck, and then fuck again?” she suggested before her hand wrapped around my already hard dick.
The plan was perfect. We ordered pizza for lunch, took a quick shower, ate, had a quickie on the couch, thought about going out, but then I ended up doing Jillian from behind in the kitchen, ended up back in my bed, took another shower because we were sweaty again, and then tried shower sex which was fun too. We ordered Chinese food for dinner, fucked again on the living room floor, again in my bed, and fell asleep, feeling wrapped in one another’s arms.
I was the happiest I had ever been in my entire life. I felt like I could do anything and everything as long as Jillian was by my side. Only I wouldn’t see or speak to her again for four damn years.
I woke up alone on Saturday morning.
Chapter Seventeen
Jillian
Four years later
I glanced down at my phone. Where the fuck was Jo? She was supposed to have been here half an hour ago to pick me up. My texts had gone unread, unanswered, and now I was starting to get pissed. She knew exactly how I felt about coming back to Ocean View even if it was for her wedding. I glanced around the now deserted airport terminal as a burning rage began to build inside me. My only feasible option was to book an Uber now. I grabbed my suitcase and started toward the exit as I hit my sister’s name on my phone. Great! Straight to voicemail.
