What happens when
you win a love you don’t think you deserve?
Long distance
relationships are tough and there are two sides to every story. No one knows
that better than Jake Morgan and Madi Ryan. It’s not just about falling in
love; it’s about staying together when everything in the world wants to tear
you apart.
When Madi’s
attacker is released on bail, Jake decides he’ll to everything in his power to
protect the woman he loves, even if that means keeping secrets. Strange emails
and photos appear on Madi’s computer, warning her that Jake is not what he
seems. Madi’s faith in him begins to waver, especially when Jake becomes linked
to beautiful actress, Allison Gregory. Although he promises there is nothing
between them, outside forces push Madi’s trust in him to the breaking
point.
Jake is willing to
move heaven and earth to prove to Madi just how much she means to him. But when
everything in their lives comes crashing down, will Madi be able to trust her
heart or will she lose the only man she’s ever really loved?
Can two people stay
together when one of them is always waiting to lose?
Within a few
seconds, the need to talk returned and she dashed to find him. Just as she was
about to turn the handle, Jake opened the door. They both stopped in surprise.
There was something about the way he looked at her. In those brief seconds, he
looked angry, frustrated and hot as hell. Before she knew what she was doing,
she flew into his arms and locked her lips with his. He grabbed onto her and
pushed his tongue into her mouth as his hands gripped her waist. His fingers
rushed into her wet hair, releasing the bun. They moved backward with purpose,
onto the bed, as Jake deftly stripped her of her jeans, shirt and bra. Before
she knew it, she was under him and he was unzipping his jeans. He pushed her
underwear to the side as he entered her, as if there wasn’t enough time to
remove her panties before he had to have her. She moaned at the feel of him.
She clenched her muscles around him as his mouth pressed against hers. He was
fucking her and she wanted it. Sometimes, love was slow and deliberate. Other
times, it just needed to be thrust into your veins like a drug through a
needle—painful for a moment, but worth it for the ecstasy that followed.
A slow, devious
grin crept across her lips, and Jake desperately needed to know her thoughts.
“Mads, for the love of God, you need to tell me what’s going on in that head of
yours.”
“Didn’t I just tell
you that I wanted the steak?”
Jake’s mind raced
back to Madi, standing in red garter belts, drunk out of her mind in his
apartment in L.A. He remembered her telling him she’d always had the chicken
salad because it was safe. Back then she’d also said she wanted the steak. She
said he was the steak. “Are you hungry?” he asked, motioning toward the table.
Madi’s smile
widened as she glanced over his shoulder at the table of food. “That’s not the
steak I want.”
Jake closed his
eyes and smiled, shaking his head. He opened them suddenly when he felt her
fingers begin to unbutton his shirt. He followed her trembling hands with his
eyes as they deftly stripped his chest. Madi took a deep breath, and Jake
smirked as her eyes traveled the length of his torso. She flexed her hand over
his pecs before circling the nipples on his chest and running her fingers
through the small amount of hair there. She smiled and sucked in her lip as her
hand gently examined each one of his stomach muscles. That same electricity
they had between them before was present like another force in the room. Her
touch sent shivers through him, directly to his manhood.
“You are a
beautiful man, Jake Morgan.” She turned behind him, pulling his shirt down his
arms. She skimmed her fingers over him, kissing his shoulders.
“I assume you’re
satisfied with the cut of your steak?” he asked with a mischievous tone as her
hand reached around him and squeezed his stomach. Her tongue and lips kissed
the area between his shoulder blades. He could feel a smile in her kiss. Jake
closed his eyes and tried to remember to breathe. His mind went back to the
morning he awoke with her hand on his stomach. He remembered her saying how
tight it felt and how she had wanted to touch him. He also remembered her bare
legs wrapped in the covers. He felt a twitch in his pants. They were suddenly
becoming a little too tight.
He almost said
something, but he couldn’t focus on anything but the way her touch made him
feel. He’d denied himself her for so long. He silently promised himself that he
would never take a single kiss from her for granted. She continued to press her
lips to his back as her hands made their way down to his belt. She quickly
unfastened it, undid the button of his jeans, and gently pulled his zipper
down. Jake could feel the effect she was having on him and wondered how long
he’d be able to stand still. Her hand reached inside his boxer briefs and found
him. He couldn’t help the sharp intake of air that left his mouth at the feel
of her hands on him. She stood there for a few moments with her lips on his
back and her hands knowingly stroking him from behind, as if she could read his
inner thoughts and desires. Before he knew it, Madi turned and was on her knees
in front of him. “Jesus... Madi…” He could barely get her name out as he
panted.
“I… want… the…
steak. This piece of steak.”
