Bring the Heat (The Happy Endings Collection Book 2)

“Been thinking about having you like this since I saw you standing out on that baseball field. You have no idea what you do to me,” his voice rasped.

A needy moan vibrated through my chest when he gently slid my panties down my legs. My entire body tensed with anticipation as he lowered his mouth between my inner thighs. I could feel the heat of his breath on my skin, and I knew what was coming. I waited for it, longed for it, and when he finally skimmed his tongue across my clit, I nearly came unglued. He teased me back and forth in a gentle rhythm, tormenting me in the most delicious way. My breath became short and strained as he worked his finger deep inside me, twirling against my g-spot with a slow and steady pace. Making love with him was everything I thought it would be and more. A satisfied moan echoed through the room when he added another, making the sensation even more intense. My hips lifted up from the mattress, begging him to give me more, and when he did, my back arched as the muscles in my abdomen tightened with my impending release. My breath caught in my throat as waves of euphoric pleasure rushed through me. I released his hair, and my hands dropped to my sides, digging into the fabric as I started to tremble uncontrollably. Bliss. Pure, unadulterated bliss.





Tucker





“Oh my god, Tucker,” she shouted as her head thrashed from side to side. I continued to curl my fingers inside her, teasing that spot that was driving her to the edge as I licked her clit. She murmured my name over and over as her release took over. While she was still in a haze, I dropped my boxer briefs to the floor and slipped on a condom. I settled between her legs, pulling her closer to the edge of the bed. She looked so fucking beautiful. This woman was getting to me in a way that I’d never expected. Her eyes sparked with need when I leaned over her, brushing my cock across her entrance. She wrapped her legs around my hips, just begging to be taken, and my heart stopped beating in my chest. Fuck! I couldn’t imagine wanting anything more as I began to push inside her. With a devilish grin, she shifted her hips, forcing me deeper. Unable to resist, I thrust further until I filled her completely, and the feeling nearly took my breath away.

“I never knew it could feel this good.”

“Yes,” she moaned as I took her nipple in my mouth, and I felt her breath quicken as my teeth raked across her flesh. I slowly withdrew, then gradually eased back inside her. My pace gradually increased, becoming steady and unforgiving. My eyes roamed over her, taking in every inch of her exquisite body. She was everything I ever wanted and more. Her chest rose and fell as she tried to steady her breath, and I growled with satisfaction when I felt her squirming beneath me. My pace never faltered as I continued to drive inside her, over and over, constantly increasing the rhythm of my movements.

“Fuck!” I growled as my throbbing cock demanded its release too fucking soon. I wanted to take my time with her—memorize every move, every whimper—but she was just too fucking tight, felt too fucking good to stop. I plunged inside of her again and again, feeling her spasm with her release. My hips collided into hers, faster, harder with every breath I took. Kaci’s body jolted as her orgasm riveted through her body. Hearing the soft whimpers of my name echoing through the room sent me over the edge, and I couldn’t hold back any longer.

With a ragged breath, I laid down beside her and panted. “Damn, woman. What are you doing to me?”

She waved her hand in the air as she shook her head. “I need a second.”

We both laid there in a haze of depleted oxygen, and after several minutes, I turned to her and said, “In case you were wondering, that was a perfect way to start the day.”

She giggled. “Yes. I have to agree with you on that one.”

“I wasn’t expecting that.”

“Trust me, neither was I.”

I turned on my side, and my chest tightened as I looked at her. She was positively the most beautiful creature I’d ever seen, inside and out, and there was no doubt in my mind that I was falling for her. “You’re incredible, Kaci.”

Her eyes flickered with emotion as she replied, “I think you’re pretty incredible, too, Tucker.”

Hoping to prolong our time together, I asked, “Do you have plans for the day? Would you like to grab some breakfast?”

A strange look crossed her face as she sat up on the bed and reached for her clothes. As she started to get dressed, she said, “Yes and no.”

“Okay.” Realizing that her mood had quickly changed, I grabbed my boxers and headed for the bathroom. Once I’d cleaned up, I came back out and asked, “Do you want to tell me what that means?”

Her eyes skirted to the ceiling as she let out a deep breath. After a brief pause, she looked over to me and said, “I really like you, Tucker. I like you a lot, and I’d really like to see where this thing between us could go. But I know you have a lot going on. You’re trying to get your leg back where it needs to be. You’re headed for the minors in a few days, and then you’re back to playing with your team. I’m not sure there’s room for me in all that.”

“I was just asking if you wanted to get some breakfast, Kaci. I’m not asking for some big commitment here.”

“I know that, but breakfast is a big deal, Tucker. I know that may sound crazy, but breakfast means waiting on a phone call and wondering if there will be a second date. It means taking a chance on having something more. Right now, we can leave things as they are and say we had a really great night together. You can walk out that door with no strings attached. No hard feelings. We can just end things on a good note, but breakfast … well, like I said, that would be something different all together.”

“I don’t know, but this whole conversation is making me really fucking hungry.”

“I’m being serious, Tucker.”

I knew what she was saying, but I wasn’t sure I had an answer for her. As much as I didn’t want to admit it, I knew she was right. My schedule was all kinds of fucked up and starting a new relationship in the middle of all the chaos probably wasn’t the best idea. But there was something about her, something that pulled at me in a way that I couldn’t begin to comprehend, and I wasn’t sure I would be able to walk away from her. “I know, and I get what you’re saying.”

I didn’t want things to end on a negative note, so I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist. As I pulled her towards me, I said, “You’re amazing, Kaci, and I had a great time with you, especially this morning.”

“I had a great time with you, too, Tucker.”

I leaned into her and pressed my mouth against hers. This woman had consumed my thoughts, my dreams, and my very existence since the moment I laid eyes on her; there was no way in hell I could ever just walk away from her—her scent, her touch, the heat of her body next to mine. Everything about her drove me fucking crazy. I wanted her, and come hell or high water, I was going to breakfast with her.
