Free Falling (Book Two: Secrets)



Sam The engine hummed so we could keep the heat on, and music lulled softly while we took care of business in the backseat. I propped my leg up on the driver’s-side headrest and somehow AJ managed to shrink his 6’2” frame to fit comfortably on top of me. The buckle to his jeans, which were still attached to one leg, clanked to his rhythm. To say that he was impatient was an understatement.

It was clear that something was wrong when he came to pick me up, but he didn’t offer up any information. We went to our spot in the clearing near his uncle’s place. He was far less talkative than usual, seeming to be most interested in what I could offer him physically. He made that clear by interrupting the rundown of my family’s dinner conversation with a midsentence kiss so passionate that I forgot what I was even talking about. I let him undress me and then ended up horizontal on the black, leather-upholstered seats. We played around awhile, kissing, touching, sucking, and then abandoned the foreplay early as usual.

I bit back a scream, muffling it slightly until I’d successfully turned it down to a less dramatic whimper when he slammed his way inside again.

“AJ…..slow down a little?” I asked when he opened his eyes and stared down at me. “Please?”

It wasn’t until then that he saw the pained look on my face. He lowered his head to kiss me. “Sorry,” he answered, easing up immediately. I could feel the tension in his rigid shoulders as I held them.

I stared up when his eyes drifted closed again, listening to him sigh and moan from deep within his chest. It always intrigued me watching him climax – the expression, the sounds he makes, the way he loses control over his body’s movements. Now that we’d finished, I saw a change in his mood. He collapsed on top of me gently, pressing his face into my neck while he breathed deep.

“I so needed that,” he panted.

Smiling to myself, I rubbed his back. “Yeah…..I noticed. So did I, though.”

He lifted just enough to kiss my cheek and then my forehead. “How is it that we just finished and I already want you again?”

I laughed and received another kiss, this time to the lips. “Because you’re the horniest guy to ever walk the face of the Earth. That’s why. Always have been.” I chuckled again. “You know how many nights I’ve snuck out the house for you?”

He backed off of me and leaned against the seat naked, feeling no sense of urgency in terms of clothing himself. When he sighed I met his gaze. With a faint smile, he asked, “How the hell are we supposed to concentrate on school work once I get there in January? We may as well accept the fact that we’re gonna flunk out.”

I laughed and searched the floor for my panties. “I’m sure we’ll manage.”

His eyes were on me as I pulled my t-shirt back on and ran my hand beneath my hair to free it from the collar. Checking to make sure I still had both of my earrings in, I blushed when his stare persisted. “What?”

There was something behind AJ’s eyes that warmed my heart. “I just hope you know how much I love you, and that everything I do is for you.”

I heard and believed every word that he said.

“Everything,” he reiterated.

“I love you, too,” I replied before leaning up to kiss him once. A flicker of sadness filled his eyes. Realizing that I noticed, AJ broke his gaze and started pulling his clothes on. I watched as he fastened his jeans and threw his wife-beater and hoodie over his head. Just when he reached for the door handle to head back up to the front, I touched his arm.
