Breaking Jacob (2nd in Breaking Series)

Chapter Twenty-One

    Jacob jumped from the horse and sat her on her feet. They stared into each others eyes for several long seconds and then without a word Jacob pulled her to him and crushed his lips to hers. 

    Ellie moaned and leaned into his embrace. His hands closed over her rear and pulled her tighter against him. She could feel the evidence of how much he had missed her and how much he wanted her pressed against her stomach. Ellie knew that she should tell him no. She should tell him that they needed to talk about things and that he couldn't have her that easily. 

    She didn't tell him either of those things. Her body was on fire and yearning for his touch. Her heart was hungry to feel their bodies joining together. 

    Jacob wasted no time. Too long he had been denying his body what he wanted and his body refused to be denied any longer. He raised his hands and undid the buttons down the front of her blouse and as it fell to the ground, his hungry lips kissed along her bare shoulder. 

    He ridded her of her skirt and Ellie stood there in nothing but her thin undergarmets, beneath the shade of the oak as Jacob's lips formed fiery paths along her shoulders, down her arm... 

    He crouched and slid off her boots before kissing trails up her legs. Ellie's knees nearly buckled and she grabbed onto his head for support as he pressed his lips to her most sensitive flesh, through the thin fabric of her underclothes. 

    He rose up and his hungry mouth sought her nipples and worked them into hard, swollen peaks through the fabric. Ellie gasped and moaned his name as she threw her head back. Jacob crushed his mouth back to hers as he quickly slid out of his own clothes and boots.

    With one swift motion, Jacob rendered her nude from the waist down. Without breaking the possessive hold he had on her mouth, he laid them both down upon the grass. 

    Ellie wrapped her arms tight around him as he braced himself over her. She ran her hands down the tight rolling muscles of his arms and felt him tremble, "I love you, Ellie." he vowed, looking deep into her eyes. 

    Ellie felt a tear slip down her cheek and then his lips were kissing it away, "I love you too, Jacob. Make love to me," she whispered. 

    Jacob didn't keep her waiting, he had done far too much of that.  Sliding his hand along her hip, Jacob positioned himself and the slid inside of her in one fluid motion. He moaned her name and buried his face in her neck as they lay there perfectly still for several long moments. 

    Ellie whimpered impatiently beneath him and twisted her hips. Jacob kissed her softly as he began a slow rhythm inside of her. 

    The sun shone brightly, the birds sang and the water of the pond shown like diamonds as their moans filled the summer air. They went over the peak together, their cries of ecstasy ringing out in unison as they clung to one another with near desperation. 

    Jacob collapsed on the grass beside her and Ellie curled up on her side against him. Jacob was still in a daze from the intensity of what they had just shared. He ran his fingers along her delicate back and then froze when he felt her shoulders heave and her hot tears began scalding his skin. 

    "Ellie... Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?" he demanded gently as he put his hand under her chin and raised her head. 

    She swiped her hand across her face and bit her lip to try to stop the flow of her tears, "Jacob, I can't lose you again," she sobbed, "Please tell me that you came after me because you can't lose me either. Please say you're going to marry me."

     Jacob stared into her deep blue eyes, so full of pain and desperation. He cursed under his breath and hated himself more than ever before. What had he been thinking? How could he have thought for a moment that he could live without this woman? Without feeling her tiny hands dancing across his bare skin? Without seeing her smile? Without tasting her kisses?
