BAD HEART: A Stepbrother Romance (A Step Over the Line Book Book 2) (11 page)

“
It
was just a fight,
”
I say.

“
Could
be more,
”
the lawyer says.
“
I have to get the statement from
the other party and figure out his intentions.
”

“
Intentions?
”
I ask.

“
This
could be high profile,
”
Thomas says.
“
With my
wealth
…
and my marriage to
your mother
…”

“
You
think the guy is going to sue?
”
I ask.

“
Better
to take precautions,
”
the
lawyer says.

“
You
’
re paying this guy in advance?
”
I ask.
“
That
’
s
a waste of money.
”

“
Mr.
Hendlenmen is on retainer,
”
Thomas says.
“
So he
’
s here for good reason. We
’
re going to protect you, Jake.
”

“
You
’
re protecting your image,
”
I say.
“
It was a bar fight.
”

“
Accounts
I have,
”
the lawyer says,
“
state you were taking advantage
of a woman in the bathroom. Three men came to her rescue and you physically
assaulted them.
”

Thomas stares me down.

I let out a long sigh.
“
Wow. Can I confess the truth
now?
”

“
Please,
”
Thomas says.

“
Taking
advantage? Of what? She was fucking horny. She groaned when I touched her
pussy. And fuck, I was going to go down on her until she screamed my name.
”

Thomas jumps back in his seat.
“
Jake
…”

“
No,
”
I say and stand. I
’
m dead tired. I might be hung
over. I can
’
t get Jade out
of my damn mind.
“
She
wanted me to fuck her. Some guy that wanted her busted in the bathroom and hit
me. Then I had three guys ready to beat me up. What was I supposed to do? I
defended myself. I didn
’
t
kill anyone. I didn
’
t go
too far. I handled my business. The second an officer grabbed my arm, I
stopped. I went with the situation. I could have fought and ran.
”

“
How
noble,
”
Thomas growls.
“
How fucking noble, Jake.
”
Now he stood. Eyes on fire.

So tough with a table between
us.

“
You
put
…”

“
Thomas,
”
the lawyer says.
“
Let
’
s try to stay calm. There
’
s a good case here. We will be okay. I just needed
to hear Jake
’
s side. So
…
he was approached by a woman.
They decided to go into the bathroom and enjoy each other
’
s company. Completely
consensual, correct?
”

I look at the lawyer.
“
Her pussy was dripping. She
wanted me.
”

The lawyer puckers his lips and
sighs.
“
Okay then. As they
…
are together
…
the door opens and three men
come into the bathroom. The leader has feelings for the woman and a fight
ensues. The other two men attack, correct?
”

“
Yeah,
”
I say.
“
They were trying to hold me so the other guy could
beat the shit out of me.
”

The lawyer nods, writes something
down.
“
You defend yourself
against the other two men. Then what?
”

“
The
first guy wasn
’
t done. I
was still in the bathroom with no escape. We started to wrestle and left the
bathroom together. Tangled up. We fought, I won, and then I was arrested.
”

“
Okay,
okay. Great information.
”
The lawyer puts the pen down. He folds his hands.
“
Good news is that so far it seems to be just a bar
fight. I can
’
t control the
press and their take on it. I have some calls to try and shake up the bigger
sites and whatnot to keep the story out of the press. Not sure how it
’
ll work. Our process now is
going to wait and then respond if we need to. We can write something up how it
was three against one. That doesn
’
t
justify fighting, but Jake was defending himself. Another good part is that
Jake was not driving.
”

“
I
took a cab from a friend
’
s
house to the bar,
”
I say.

“
Perfect,
”
the lawyer says. He stands up,
closes his leather folder.
“
I
think we
’
ll be okay.
”

The meeting seems very pointless.

Thomas shakes the lawyer
’
s hand and the guy leaves.

But something tells me we
’
re not done yet.

The door opens again and here comes
Hunter.

He shuts the door and blocks it.

Thomas slowly walks the length of
the table and then stands next to Hunter.

“
What
the fuck is this?
”
I ask.

“
Your
phone call,
”
Thomas says.
“
Your ride home. My daughter.
”

“
My
girlfriend,
”
Hunter says.

Yeah, that hurts. That burns a
little inside my gut.

“
I
didn
’
t know who else to
call.
”

“
You
got her up in the middle of the night for your bullshit,
”
Hunter growls.
“
You
put her in danger.
”

“
She
was not in danger,
”
I say.
“
At all.
”

“
There
were press,
”
Hunter says.
“
She had to drive you around.
Stay the fuck away from her, Jake. Keep this family out of your personal life.
You want to destroy yourself? Do it on your time.
”

I make fists and suck in a breath.
I look at Thomas.
“
Anything
else?
”

“
Don
’
t bring my daughter down,
”
Thomas says.
“
I
’
m
married to your mother. I
’
m
not committed to you, Jake. You want to leave
…”

“
You
took all my money,
”
I say.

“
Get
a fucking job,
”
Hunter
spats.

“
Oh,
I
’
m sorry,
”
I say.
“
You haven
’
t
had everything handed to you?
”

“
Jake,
”
Thomas growls.
“
Hunter has worked very hard.
”

“
Sucking
on your ass,
”
I say.
“
Now move out of the fucking way.
”

I approach Hunter. He doesn
’
t move. He
’
s blocking the door. My hand is
curled into a fist. I really want to punch him.

“
Move,
”
I say.
“
Right now.
”

Hunter just stares at me.
“
Don
’
t ever put her in danger again.
”

I clamp a hand on Hunter
’
s shoulder.
“
I
’
m
not going to tell you to move again.
”

Hunter slides to the side and I
open the door.

As I walk away, I realize that my
car is still at Zeke
’
s. I
have no way out of this house. It
’
s
like a fucking prison. I stand at the bottom of the stairs and shake my head. I
want to save Jade
…
but I
think I really just want her.

10.

(Jade)

He pulls himself out of me. I
look back, wondering what the hell is wrong. Jake
’
s eyes are staring me down.

“
What?
”
I ask.

“
I
…
you and me
…
we
…”

I swallow, trying to catch my breath.

“
Stroke
my cock,
”
he
says.

I reach back and grab him. My
hand slides up and down him with ease. Our eyes are locked tight. There was
more to what he wanted to say to me.

I keep stroking him. He
’
s thrusting back and
forth, his hands holding my ass tight.

“
Oh,
fuck, Jade,
”
he hisses.
“
I
’
m going to come.
”

I want him inside me. I want to
feel him fill me. But I don
’
t
stop stroking his thick cock. I can
’
t
stop.
I have no idea what
’
s
happening right now.
When Jake wants something
…
I
’
m hopeless and helpless.

Plus, the way he
’
s looking at me right now
is just insane. His eyes are beautiful and sexy. His face like stone. He wants
me so badly
…

I squeeze the head of his cock
and pull hard.

“
Yeah,
like that,
”
he groans.

I stay right there. He
’
s thrusting, his cock
getting harder. His hands dig deeper into my ass, holding tight enough that it
hurts. A good hurt. Between my legs I
’
m
so achy. My knees are bent. I
’
ve
come twice
already, but
that doesn
’
t mean I
’
m done.

Jake lets out a groaning breath
and starts to come. He squirts into my hand and I gasp. That warm spurt is
quickly followed by another
…
and another
…
and another
…

I stay with him, feeling his
warm release filling my hand, running between my fingers. I stroke his cum down
his cock
, then back up,
, unable to control myself.

Jake pulls back and away from my
hand. I lift my hand, looking at the sexy mess he
’
s made.

“
Turn
around,
”
he
says.

His hands are at my waist and I
spin around. My ass is then on the sink, legs spread. I look down just in time
to see Jake lowering himself to his knees. His mouth and tongue are at my pussy
a second later, suckling hard to my tender skin.

I slam my hand to the sink and
it slides with the mess Jake
’
s
offered me. I grab at his hair with my other hand.

He pulls away for a second to
look up at me.
“
Come
right now. I want to taste it all, sweetie. Don
’
t fuck around.
”

Jake
’
s mouth is right back to
work. I don
’
t
have a chance to fuck around. He
’
s
too good. The tip of his tongue slic
es up and down, then p
ress
es
against my hole, teasing me, flickering, penetrating me with circles. The way
he curls his tongue at my clit, knowing just how to please me.

I come with ease, rocking my
hips. My mouth is open and
no sound comes
out.

Jake stays right with me,
refusing to give up until he
’
s
gotten his fill. I come all over him, feeling myself throbbing and leaking. It
’
s so fucking intense and
amazing
…

Jake finally moves away from me.
He stands up, licking his lips. His eyes are now on fire. He
moves
at me
again
, pressing between my legs. He puts a
hand
behind my neck. Our foreheads touch and he grits his teeth.

“
What?
”
I ask.
“
Please
…
Jake
…
what are you thinking?
”

“
I
’
m far from done,
”
he says.
“
Fuck, Jade
…”
