Worth The Risk
Author: J.L. Leslie

 

Five Years Ago

 

I stare up at him and try not to tremble. Jake Presley oozes confidence and arrogance as his hands reach for my black, lace panties. I arch off the bed to meet him, my body automatically knowing what it should do despite my lack of experience.

“Fuck, Skylar, I can smell your arousal,” he hisses. “Do you know how damned hard that makes me?”

I shake my head, a shy smile spreading across my face. I’m playing a dangerous game, and I know it, but I’ve wanted Jake since I was seventeen and he came home with my brother. They’ve been inseparable friends, and I’ve secretly been pining away in my room, wishing he’d see me as more than Hunter’s little sister.

Finally, he has. It only took him four years to do so.

“I’ll show you, Skylar, I’ll show you how fucking hard I am,” he says and dips his fingers inside the waistband of my panties. “Is that what you want?”

My breath hitches in my throat, and my boobs heave, nearly spilling over the demi-cups of the matching lace bra. Part of me still can’t believe I’m lying in this bed, wearing this, with Jake. I was so nervous going into the store and picking this out, but I knew this day would finally come and that tonight would be the perfect night. It is my birthday, after all.

Hunter left town a few months ago, told me he had to do what was needed in order to take care of our dad and me. He never really explained himself, but he left us all behind, Jake included.

I thought he would be back for my birthday, the big two-one, but no. I haven’t seen him, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I used my disappointment to get Jake’s attention. My patience with waiting on this man to make a move was officially over.

I made the damn move.

Now, my black heels are digging into the mattress, and I know it won’t be long before they’ll be digging into his flesh. He’ll fuck me hard. He’s not a gentle-type lover. At least, that’s what I’ve heard.

“Yes…” I whisper, finally finding the courage to answer him. Maybe it’s from the alcohol I’ve had while celebrating, but I feel the need to tell him what I want. “I want you to show me, Jake. Let me touch you.”

Jake glides my panties down my thighs and then shoves them in his pocket. It turns me on to think he wants to keep them. I start to lower my legs, but he props my heels up one on each shoulder.

“Your pussy is soaked, Skylar. Is that all for me?” He eases a finger inside me, coaxing and teasing until I’m writhing.

“Yes, Jake, it’s for you.”

His thumb teases my clit, and my legs begin to shake. “And you’re tight, baby. So fucking tight.”

My eyes roll back, and my lips part. I’m tight because no man, aside from him, has touched me there. I’ve spent nights pleasuring myself with thoughts of him, imagining this very moment and hoping one day it would happen.

Here it is.

“Jake…I…” Heat rushes over me as my climax builds, and I cry out as I come, my body gripping his fingers like a vice.

“That’s it, Skylar, come for me,” he encourages me. “I’m going to fuck you so hard,” he promises me. “You’re going to scream for me; you know that?”

I press my body against his fingers, riding out the last waves of my orgasm. When he pulls his hand away, a part of me is worried he isn’t going to make good on his promise, but then I hear his zipper and the sound of foil tearing.

Despite my nerves, I open my eyes and watch Jake shed his jeans. His body is lean and chiseled from years of working construction. He started at the same construction company Hunter did when they were both eighteen. My dad said they had to get a job if Jake was going to stay and neither of them hesitated.

I wonder if he’ll leave town and go wherever Hunter is, but I know if I ask, I may get an answer I don’t want to hear. For now, I only want this, what I’ve wanted for years. Everything else can wait.

Jake climbs over me, trailing kisses up my stomach. He pulls my bra strap down and presses his lips to my shoulder before gently pulling me up to unhook the clasp. He flicks his tongue out over my peaked nipple and then closes his mouth over it, suckling greedily. I thread my fingers through his hair and urge him closer, feeling him smile against my skin. His teeth graze over me, and then he gently bites down, sending a shockwave of pleasure through me.

“I’ve wanted to be inside you for so long, Skylar. To have your pussy clamping around my cock and to hear you moaning my name,” Jake tells me as his dick rubs against my center. “Have you thought about this moment? Have you wanted this like I have? Cause, fuck, I want to ruin you.”

He rises up and rolls me over onto my stomach, then covers me with his body again. He spreads my legs and curves my right leg up over his thigh, positioning his cock at my entrance.

“I have. I’ve wanted you since I first met you. I touch myself thinking about you,” I admit, knowing my reddening cheeks are partially hidden. “We waited too damn long to do this.”

“Fuck me,” he grits out and thrusts forward.

The second he breaks through my innocence, he stills, his body tense. My eyes water with tears and I quickly blink them back, not wanting to look over my shoulder at him but unable to resist. Jake stares down at me, shock clear on his face.

“Skylar, oh God, what did you let me do?” he groans.

“Don’t stop, Jake, please don’t stop.”

I rise up on all fours and reach up, urging him down until our lips meet. Fire consumes us both when they touch, and he begins to move. Our tongues dance as our bodies become one.

He mumbles, “Your brother is going to fucking kill me for this.”

After a moment, the initial pain is completely gone and replaced with pure animalistic hunger. He says the dirtiest things to me, making me so hot it feels like my skin is on fire.

With each thrust, I want more. I want him deeper. I want him embedded so deep within me that no man can ever replace him. I know that no man ever will. I won’t say the words, but I love him. I love Jake Presley, and I have since I was seventeen.

“God, I’m close, Skylar. I’m so fucking close, baby. Come on my cock, like a good girl,” he whispers against my ear.

“I will; I’m coming!” I cry out and bury my face into the pillow, coming the moment I feel his release.

Jake rolls to his side, pulling me down against him. I’m barely held in his arms two minutes when his phone rings. It’s nearly 2 a.m. Who could be calling?

He tenses but releases me and rises from the bed. I sit up, wrapping my naked body in the blanket, and watching his as he walks across the room to answer the phone. He keeps his back to me and talks quietly, so quietly that I can’t hear him. When he returns, his demeanor has changed. His expression is different. I can’t describe it, but I know something is wrong, and he’s completely closed off from me.

“Jake, what is it? What’s happened?” I ask when he starts getting dressed.

After he’s dressed, he comes to me and silences me with a kiss. I allow him to placate me, knowing he’s only trying to quiet me. His coldness doesn’t affect the heat from his kiss, but he’s still closed off.

“I have to go, Skylar,” he says, but doesn’t say where or why. When he reaches the door, he turns back and looks at me with sadness in his eyes. “You know I’d never let anything happen to you, right?”
