Heart's Desires (6 page)

              Jake chuckled.  “No, honey, I only deal with women, and as I told you before, I don’t use lines.”

              “Umm huh, sure.  Whatever you say,” Charlie chuckled.  She could imagine him narrowing his eyes at her comment.  “So I saw that you called earlier, but didn’t leave a message.  Did you need something?”

              “Yep, I need you,” Jake stated simply.

              “Ex… excuse mm… me,” Charlie stuttered, thrown off by the bluntness of his words.

              “You heard me, Heart.  I need you, and you need me, but you’re running, and you also need time to get used to the idea.  I get that.  But in the meantime, we got to start somewhere.  So how about a date?”

              “A date?”  Charlie didn’t know what to say.  She’d fantasized countless times about all the naughty things she could do to and with this man, but a date had never entered her mind.

              “Yes, a date, Heart.  Would you like to go out to dinner with me?”

CHAPTER 8

Jake smiled to himself as he disconnected the phone. 

After all these months, I’m finally wearing her beautiful ass down. 

             
Jake was pleased that
his
Heart had finally agreed to go to dinner with him, and there was no doubt in his mind that she was indeed his woman. He didn’t know why her walls were built up so high, but he was willing to break that shit down brick by brick if he had to, in order to get her love.

              Jake knew that she wasn’t some quick lay, and he had never been that type of man anyway.  Yes, he had his share of women, but he was more of a relationship type of guy.  Being in the Special Forces made him want to know that there was somebody at home that he could come back to, somebody to love him and for him to love, somebody that would help him keep his focus out in the dangerous field.

              He needed the love of a good woman, and although he was no longer in the military, that need was still there.  He was convinced that he’d had that type of love once, but he learned the hard way that everyone wasn’t loyal.  But his broken heart wouldn’t keep him from searching for that special woman, a woman that made him want to protect her at all costs, a woman who was intelligent and funny, and who could hold a conversation; one who was beautiful and so sensual that with one look she would have his cock hard as steel.  And he had finally found that woman in Charlene Heart. Whether she was ready or not, she was going to be his.

              Charlie was excited but nervous about her date.  She felt she needed to be cautious because the last date she was excited about had been with that asshole, Jared. 

How could I have been so wrong about that guy?

              Deep down, Charlie knew that she wasn’t wrong about Jake though.  What made her so anxious were the intense emotions she felt anytime they were in a room together.  Since their conversation, she felt the connection between them grow that much stronger.

             
Charlie decided that for her date, she would be open.  She wasn’t ready yet to let her guard completely down, but her feelings for Jake grew stronger every time they saw each other.

              Just as Charlie was finishing giving herself a pep talk, she heard the doorbell to the penthouse ring. She didn’t rush out to answer because she knew that both Korri and Tony were home, so she finished the last touches to her make-up, sprayed on some perfume, and pumped up her girls before heading to her date.

             
“Wow, hey, Jake you look nice,” Korri stated, opening the door wide to let him into the condo.

              “Thanks, Korri.”  Jake smiled down at his cousin’s petite fiancée.

              “Tony, babe, Jake’s here,” Korri yelled, assuming he was there to see his cousin and not hers.

              “Jake, hey man what are you doing here?”  Tony questioned, coming from the kitchen holding a beer.  Upon seeing his cousin, he whistled.  “Why are you so dressed up?”

              Korri wanted to hear the reason too.  Jake only wore jeans and a t-shirt, or maybe a button down, but always with jeans. And although Tony was her world, Korri could definitely appreciate the way Jake was wearing the hell out of that suit. 

              It was dark gray and tailored to perfection, fitting his tall muscular frame to a T.  His crisp, white shirt was left open at the top, and it stretched and hugged every muscle on his well-defined chest.  His blonde hair was already short on the sides, but the longer section at the top that normally hung in his face was slicked back, showing off his bright green eyes.  His beard was even cut lower, shaped and sculpted around his full lips.

              Yes, Jacob Cameron was indeed looking fine this evening.

              Tony cleared his throat and cocked an eyebrow at his fiancée as she gawked at his cousin.  Korri gave a sheepish grin as he pulled her in a tight embrace from behind and kissed her neck.

              “So . . . what’s up with the getup?”

              “I’m glad you two like my attire this evening.  I’m just glad to see that ya’ll have on clothes tonight.” Jake chuckled as the blush flooded Korri’s brown cheeks, and Tony chuckled along with his cousin.

              “I’m actually here to pick up Charlie.”

              Korri’s eyes lit up.  All traces of her embarrassment left. “I knew it!”

              Before Jake could ask her what she knew, Charlie entered the room, looking like his biggest desire come to life.

              She wore a figure hugging knee length green and tan striped dress that displayed all of her delicious curves.  It was a tank top design that gave a hint of her generous cleavage without showing too much. And although she only stood at a petite five-foot five, the tan, strappy open toed heels she wore gave her at least five extra inches, and showed off her well-toned calves and shapely thighs.

              Her make-up was flawless, with a light shade of pink gloss covering her kissable full lips, and her thin braids cascaded down her back.

              At that moment, as he stood there taking in all of her beauty, Jake knew that he was a goner.

              “Hey, Bear,” Charlie greeted, coming to a stop in front of Jake. 

How in the hell am I supposed to keep my panties on with him looking like a walking wet dream? 

Charlie sighed and unconsciously ran her pink tongue over her pouty bottom lip.  Jake growled deep in his throat, forgetting about the other two occupants of the room.  Korri giggled and Tony laughed; his brown eyes showed obvious surprise at his cousin’s display of affection.  It had been years since he’d seen Jake like this. 

              At the laughter, Jake remembered there were other people in the room.  He grabbed Charlie’s hand and placed a kiss to her palm.  “Say good night, Heart.”

              “Good night, Heart,” Charlie threw over her shoulder as they exited the penthouse condo.

***

              As far as dates went, the night was a great success.  Dinner was delicious and the conversation never stopped, or even had an awkward moment.  They decided to go back to Jake’s house for drinks as neither of them wanted the night to end.

              Charlie knew what was up.  She knew that going back to this fine ass man’s house was not just for drinks.  She had already taken a big chance by going out with Jake. 

              Charlie knew that after months of running, her resistance was damn near nonexistent.  She just had to keep in mind to guard her heart because she knew that if she let him in, he could hurt her worse than any other man ever dared.

              Jake pulled his Range Rover up to his sleek, modern four thousand square foot home located right outside of Dallas in Plano, Texas. Charlie noticed his black Ford F150 with the lift sitting on the circular drive.  It looked like one of those monster trucks she had seen on TV.  He was a giant of a man, but Charlie thought his truck was ridiculous, and the name he had for it was just as ridiculous.  What kind of name was “Big Lou” for a truck? 

              Her thoughts were interrupted when Jake came around and opened her door, helping her out of the sleek SUV.

              As he unlocked the front door, the security system beeped.  The lights were turned down low, and they closed the door behind them as they walked into the foyer.

              Charlie looked around, admiring Jake’s house.  It was huge, but she didn’t understand why he had such a large home with just him living there. 

As he gave her a tour, she noticed that his home was traditional with hints of modern touches. There were large double doors that opened into a huge foyer that had dark hardwood floors.  The foyer was grand in comparison to what Charlie was used to; left of the double doors was a large winding staircase leading to a landing that was backed with large French style windows overlooking a massive backyard.  To the right of the doors was a short hall leading to the open downstairs section of the house that held the family room and the den.  The large master bedroom was just off the den, and his massive kitchen that would have any chef envious, opened up to the family room.

“Your home is really beautiful, Bear,” Charlie remarked as she made herself comfortable on the large sofa in his den.

“Thank you, Heart.  I’m glad you like it.”  Jake handed Charlie a glass of wine as he sat down beside her.

They sat comfortably sipping their drinks, talking, and laughing, when the conversation turned a little more sexual. The banter between them made Charlie’s heart rate speed up, and as sexy as she thought Jake was, he always made her a little nervous.  She cleared her throat and licked her lips, trying to slow down her rapidly beating heart, when she heard the sound that instantly made her panties wet.  He groaned deep and low within his throat, and scooted closer to her on the sofa.

“You have no idea what you do to me when you lick your lips like that.”  Jake caressed her neck, slowly running his fingers up to her cheek then to her succulent lips.

Charlie’s breath hitched as he ran his other hand up under her dress on her bare thigh.  He wrapped his large hands around her braids, pulled her head back, and exposed her slender neck. With his tongue, he ran a hot trail from her collar bone to her ear, kissing and sucking along the way.  She moaned at the glorious feeling.

Her hands instinctively went to his hair, holding his head in place.  Jake groaned as she tugged at his hair, and he quickly moved down to kiss her breast.  He tugged down the dress, exposing her gloriously full tits.  Her Hershey kiss nipples stood erect, waiting for his touch.  He wasted no time licking and sucking on her glorious mounds.

“Heart, honey you are so fuckin’ beautiful.  I need to taste you everywhere.”

Before she could even find the words to scream that he better, he dropped to his knees in front of her and roughly pushed her dress up around her waist.  He licked his lips longingly as he took a deep smell of her pussy.  His nose stroked her clit through her panties, making her gush with desire, and wetting her thong even more.

Charlie moaned and squirmed, trying to press her hot core against his face for more friction.  His light touches on her thighs, and the way he tweaked and teased her nipples, were driving her to the brink of insanity.  All thoughts of her guarding her heart, and this being their first official date, were completely blown the hell up.  All she cared about at that moment was this gorgeous specimen of a man filling her completely.

“Bear,
please
...” Charlie begged as she continued to grind against his face.

“Please what, Heart?  Tell me what you want.  I’ll give you what you need.  Always.”

“Stop teasing me, Jacob!  Please…”

He knew he had her right where he wanted her, on the brink of insanity, just the way he had been chasing her for months. But he couldn’t prolong his teasing much longer because it was killing him as much as it was her.

He slipped his hand in her lacy thong; it ripped instantly as he gently pulled on it.  He placed the shredded material to his face and inhaled deeply. 

Charlie shivered at the sight. 

Jake is a fuckin’ freak! 

She was giddy at the discovery that this would definitely be a night to remember.

He dove between her legs like a man starved.  He licked and sucked on her pussy like it was the last meal he would ever have, latching onto her clit sucking hard.  His giant finger moved in and out of her core, hitting her G spot with each and every glorious stroke.

Charlie couldn’t catch her breath.  Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she howled out her release. Jake’s nimble fingers kept stroking in and out of her hot, wet core as she came down from her explosive orgasm.

She lay slouched on the couch completely spent.  She didn’t think she had the strength to move.  Her beautiful hazel eyes lazily blinked open, only to be greeted by the lusty emerald colored gaze of the man that just rocked her world.

“I’m definitely not finished with you yet.”  Jake scooped up Charlie’s limp body and carried her to his large master bedroom.

              Once they got to the room, he gently laid her on his massive California King bed.  He took the time to take off his clothes, then stood there in all his masculine glory.  Colorful tattoos covered his strong muscular chest, wrapped around to his back, and down his arms.  He had a six-pack that made you want to slap your mama, and the V-shape leading to his long massive cock was a sight to behold.

              Charlie couldn’t stop staring, and her mouth was suddenly as dry as the Sahara Desert. 
Got damn!  He is going to kill me with that thing… and it shall be a glorious death! 
Charlie’s smile was sinful as she took in all of Jake’s muscular physique.

              “Do you like this dress?”  Jake growled, stalking toward her with a feral gleam in his eyes.

              “Wh-What?  What the hell, Jacob!”  Charlie shouted as the ripped material tumbled to the floor. 
Now I know damn well that dress wasn’t cheap, and he ripped that shit like paper!  HELL YEAH!

             
“What the hell am I supposed to wear home?  You have ripped my drawers and my dress!”  Charlie sat up. She was breathing hard, and her temperature was sky high.
