Dear Phoney Fiance Read online

  “Me too,” I said. “After you get back from your honeymoon, give me a call sometime, we’ll talk.”

  “I’ll hold you to it,” he said with a smile and if I wasn’t mistaken, I swear I saw the glint of tears in his eyes. Man, I never realized that Jordan might’ve been carrying a heavy burden, too.

  I walked away knowing I’d made the right choice.

  I found Cara, cupped her face with both hands and sealed my mouth to hers, kissing her hard and deep, soaking up all the goodness that Cara brought to my life in the short time I’d known her.

  “You’re a miracle worker,” I told her.

  “Should I put that on my resume,” she said, laughing. “Not that I’m not flattered but what are you talking about?”

  All I wanted to do was spend the rest of my days loving Cara but I needed to start doing things right and that meant ending this charade.

  “I want to thank you for helping me mend things with Jordan,” I said. “I don’t think I ever would’ve been able to see how my pride was getting in the way of the truth if you hadn’t helped me. You’re an incredible human being, Cara Harris. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay you for what you’ve done but what I can do is release you from this fake girlfriend thing we’ve got going on.”

  Her expression faltered, clearly not what she’d been expecting but she nodded. “Oh, right, yeah, of course. I mean, we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, honestly. Good karma, too.” Her smile was a bit too bright to be genuine as she said, “It’s been great playing your fake girlfriend. If you want I don’t have to stay for the rest of the reception. I can just catch an Uber or something. Or maybe Rachel or Daisy can come get me.”

  I couldn’t let her continue. She was going off the rails in the complete wrong direction. I pulled her into my arms, confusing her even more. Her expression screwed into a frown to ask, ”What are you doing?”

  I explained with a half-cocked grin. “You see, the fake girlfriend thing has to end because I want the real deal.”

  Her gaze widened. “You do?”

  “Hell yes. I want all of you Cara Harris and I don’t want to share. I want you in the mornings and at night, when you haven’t brushed your teeth and when your hair is standing on end. I want you when you’re dressed like this and every man in the place is trying to keep their eyeballs in their head because you’re so damn hot. I want you when you’re howling mad because you’ve lost at Scrabble or gloating because you’ve won at poker. I want everything you are.”

  “But we’ve only known each other for two and a half weeks,” she protested but that tiny smile was threatening to ruin me. The chemistry between us wasn’t something one could fake. We both could feel it was something special. Time didn’t matter. Two weeks, two months, two years — it would always be this way. That’s what Marjorie and George taught me. Real love was timeless. It simply happened.

  “What if I told you that in the space of those two and a half weeks I already knew I wanted to marry you?”

  She sucked in a wild breath and her eyes watered. “I’d say you’re crazy.”

  “But you’d know it’s true because you feel it, too,” I said, taking a chance.

  Cara nodded slowly.

  “Well then? How about it? Will you be my actual girlfriend?”

  That million-dollar smile, the one that could make me do just about anything formed on her lips as she said, “Yeah, I will be your actual girlfriend…on one condition.”

  I rose my brow. “And that is?”

  “For every Cardinals game you drag me to, you match a Cubs game.”

  I whistled low. “You drive a hard bargain.”

  “Take it or leave it.”

  I paused for pride’s sake but we both knew I’d take any deal she threw down. After a beleaguered sigh, I pulled her into my arms and said, “It’s a deal, baby girl” and sealed her lips with mine.

  Nothing had ever felt so right.

  Well, actually, there was one last thing that needed doing to truly make her mine…

  And it was going to happen right now.

  Epilogue

  “Oh my God, Jace!” I gasped, twisting in the sheets as Jace’s tongue slipped between my pussy lips to suck and lick at my engorged clit. My nipples hardened to peach pits as I arched my back, unable to hold back the cry as Jace’s finger found my G-spot.

  I was nearly weeping with pleasure. The man was merciless when it came to pushing me to my limits and I loved it. I crashed into my climax with all the violence of a sonic boom, shattering all at once, sweat popping all over my body as I gushed across his face. Jace was a consummate lover, he found nothing shameful about my body. He lapped at my juices and then rose to kiss me hard with the scent of my own pussy still on his lips.

  Holy fuck, I can’t tell you how that turned me on.

  It was hard to believe we were able to keep our hands to ourselves for two and a half weeks. Since breaking the seal — in a darkened office in the country club at Jordan and Alyssa’s wedding — we haven’t been able to keep our hands off each other.

  We were insatiable with each other. We craved one another like junkies needed their fix.

  “You’re criminally good at that,” I purred against his mouth as he lifted me in his arms. I wrapped my legs around his torso and we rolled together so I was on top. His hard, thick cock ready for me. He grinned up at me as I rose up so I could slid down slowly on his shaft. I groaned with new pleasure as his cock stretched my walls while Jace anchored my hips with his hands. I rocked against his cock, the head rubbing against my G-spot. “Mmmmmm, baby, that’s it, right there….”

  “Ohhh baby girl,” he moaned, his eyes glazed as he watched me ride him. He loved when my hair was wild, my breasts free, nipples hard. I played with his nipples while I rode him and he lifted me up, groaning harder. I giggled with abandon rocking against him. I was so close to cumming again but I wanted to make it last. He knew I was too close and grinned. He slapped my ass and I rose off his cock with a playful pout but he pulled me to my knees and I closed my eyes as he sank his cock back into me from behind.

  “God yes,” I cried, gripping the bedding as I spread my knees wider, arching my back. Jace grabbed my hips and railed into me hard with short thrusts. I clenched my teeth against the sharp bursts of pleasure exploding in my body with each flex of his hips and I knew I was going to cum hard in this position.

  There really wasn’t a position we’d tried yet that wouldn’t result in Jace making me cum like a banshee but the fun was in the trying, right?

  Jace stiffened, as he shouted, pumping his load into me. There was something so primal and raw about the act of accepting a man’s semen into my body that had always turned me on but being in love with Jace made the act that much more intense. I craved his seed, loved knowing that I would drip with his juices when we were through.

  “Jace,” I practically sobbed as my orgasm ripped through my body, clenching every muscle and causing stars to shatter behind my eyes. I sank to my belly, still clenching and pulsing from the pleasure as Jace collapsed beside me, his breath harsh as he groaned, his cock still oozing on his thigh even as he’d given me everything he had.

  A long moment passed as we caught our breath. The night silent around us. It was good we stayed at his place tonight. Daisy and Rachel would’ve been giving us an earful about keeping our “sexcapades” quiet for those who were trying to sleep at night.

  I rolled to my side and threw my arm around his torso, loving the smell of him, of us.

  Funny how a fake date had turned into a fake fiance, which then had turned into the love of my life.

  Somehow, I’d found the lid to my pot — in the last place I’d ever go looking.
