Limitless (Journey #2)

I pushed aside her hair and instantly my mouth landed on her neck. I had missed that taste all day. So sweet. “Well, I would prefer you naked over dinner any day, baby, so as long as it’s one of the two, I’ll be a happy man.”


“Oh, yeah?” She leaned back into me, her eyes squeezing shut tightly and a soft moan left her mouth as I sucked on her neck. “I would love that too, but don’t get used to it. We were pretty dead at Gino’s, that’s why I’m home so early. It was kind of nice, the first day of school is always a little draining.”

I pulled back and placed a kiss on the top of her head before turning to the cabinet to pull out plates for dinner. “Well, I’m glad you got a little bit of a break then. Where’s Caleb? Did the thing at the lab go all right?”

Luckily, I’d been pretty busy all day so I hadn’t thought about that whole mess. Leah was pretty convinced that this guy was Caleb’s dad and I wasn’t sure what in the hell would happen after it was confirmed.

“Caleb is still with Ally.” She held up a spoon with tomato sauce to my mouth after cooling it off and I opened to take a taste.

“She was planning on keeping him longer since I was supposed to work till about eight o’clock, so when I called they were at the park and going to grab something to eat. She said the thing at the lab went fine. Caleb really had no clue what was going on and wondered why they were sticking a swab in his mouth, not his ear. He did ask about the dog thing again though. I don’t think we can keep putting him off.”

Oh, yes. We had been hearing about getting a dog since the day I had proposed. I guess I had kind of bribed Caleb with it, so he would help me out with the proposal. And that kid didn’t forget anything. Leah was a little pissed about it since she really didn’t want one more thing to take care of, but I told her I would help out as much as possible.

We had pacified Caleb for the most part, telling him we could get one when we got back from vacation. I think Leah was hoping he would forget, but apparently not.

“That’s good the lab thing went well, I hope this whole process is easy on him, but he’s still young he normally goes with the flow pretty well. I think I’ll take him to the shelter this weekend and we can all pick something out, maybe one that’s house broken. That is delicious, by the way.” I pointed to the sauce that was lightly bubbling, trying to distract her from thinking about the dog anymore. Dinner looked about ready, but I was really hungry for something else.

“So Caleb’s gone, think dinner can wait for a little bit?” I twisted her body around so she was flush with mine and lifted the hem of her shirt to trail my fingers up her bare stomach, feeling the familiar softness of her skin. We had barely been apart for ten hours, but I had already missed her so much. I guess we were still in the honeymoon phase and I planned on keeping it that way for a while.

“Mmhmm,” she murmured before crashing her lips into mine, her hands finding the back of my head to tug me closer. I had already been hard from the moment I walked into the kitchen, but when her small hand reached into my pants and began to tug up and down, I got even harder.

I let out a groan as her pace quickened and pulled slightly back. “If you want this to go any further, you need to stop that right now. I need to be inside of you.” Her gray eyes widened and she let out a small gasp when I sunk my fingers into her hips and quickly twisted her around so she was bent over the kitchen table.

“Sorry baby, this is gonna have to be fast because I need you now,” I murmured against her neck as I made quick work of her shorts and panties and then cupped her breasts from behind. “Promise, I’ll make it sweet and slow later.”

“I don’t mind,” she whispered huskily, her hips arching back into me, just as anxious as I was. My hands slipped out quickly from under her shirt as I tugged my pants and boxers down. I gently pushed down on her lower back so she was lined up perfectly and reached around one finger and then two, feeling how wet and ready she was for me.

I pushed in hard and we both let out a groan when our bodies connected. I reached my hand around to her heat, circling her slow at first and picking up the pace, when she panted out my name and arched her hips back into me at a frenzied pace. I moved both of my hands to her waist, snaking my arms around her to bring her body even closer as I slammed into her over and over again. I pushed my length into her one last time and we both exploded together.

Leah went limp in my arms, so I scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom. “Oh my god, Chase, I probably won’t be able to walk for a week after that.” She buried her head into the crook of my neck and I just held her in my arms, loving the feeling of her body against mine.
