Crazy Beautiful Love (The Martelli Brothers #1)(7)
Author: J.S. Cooper

I didn’t hesitate as I felt her hands on my button, and I allowed her to unbutton my jeans before I yanked them off and sat there in my boxers.

She reached her hand into the fly of my boxers and grabbed hold of me cautiously. She grinned as she felt my hardness in her hands, and I smiled at her before pushing her back down on the ground. I positioned myself between her legs so she could feel my hardness next to her. She moaned, and we rolled around in the grass, touching and exploring each other’s bodies. Within a few minutes, her panties and my boxers were also off and I looked down at her with a question in my eyes.

“Are you sure?”

“I’ve never been more sure.” She nodded and pulled me down. “Fuck me, Logan,” she whispered in my ear seductively, as she arched her back up to me. I couldn’t take it any longer, and I centered myself at her entrance and pushed myself inside of her. She cried out as I entered her. I moved slowly at first, but I just couldn’t hold back, and I increased my pace so I could feel her enclosed tightly around me. I stared down into her eyes as I moved back and forth, and the intensity of the desire in hers turned me on even more. I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers again, wanting to taste her as I took her. My lips crushed down on hers and she kissed me back hard, as she wrapped her legs around my waist.

She scratched my back and I felt her body shuddering underneath mine as she came.

“Logan!” she screamed over and over again, and I felt my body spark with electricity before I burst into her and then slowly withdrew myself, collapsing next to her. I lay flat on my back and she leaned over and rested her head on my chest, her fingers trailing along my chest. I saw her staring at my scar, and she ran her fingers down and touched it gingerly. I saw her glance up at me to make sure it was okay, and I nodded and played with her hair.

“That was wonderful,” she exclaimed breathlessly.

“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.” I smiled at her, too satiated to say much else.

“We should do it again.”

“Not now.” I laughed. “Unfortunately, I’m not Superman.”

“Maybe tomorrow?” She looked up at me, and my breath caught. I looked away from her causally.

“I’m busy tomorrow.”

“All night?”

“You should stay at home and out of trouble, Maddie.”

“I don’t want to.”

“You shouldn’t be sleeping with random men the first night you meet them.” I turned to her, and caressed her breast as I told her off. “It’s not safe.”

“You’re safe.” She giggled. “That tickles.”

“Why did you steal that cop car, Maddie? And why did you get in my car?”

“I just wanted to see what it would be like …” Her voice trailed off. “I needed a break.”

“You could have gotten into serious trouble. You could have gotten arrested.”

“It would have been fine.” She shook her head.

“You don’t want a record,” I lectured her, but I realized the irony of my words. “You have your whole life ahead of you.”

“If you hate crime so much, why do you steal?” She spoke earnestly, and I looked at this girl I had only known for a few hours and laughed. No one had ever seen me for who I was in my whole life. Or asked me such a question.

“Who says I hate crime?”

“It’s obvious.” She looked at me with sad eyes. “So why do you do it?”

“Why does anyone become a criminal?”

“You’re not going to tell me?” She looked hurt.

“I don’t know you, Maddie.” I scowled. “We had sex, that’s it. We didn’t become best friends. I’m not going to divulge all my secrets in some post-coital bliss.”

“Why are you so mean to me?”

“I’m not mean. And why do you care? You’re a young, beautiful girl with the world at your feet. What does it matter to you what I do or say?”

“Logan Martelli, I wish you would get that chip off of your shoulder.”

“I wish you would be smarter about who you get into cars with and sleep with right away.”

“You weren’t complaining ten minutes ago.” She ran her finger down the side of my face. “And don’t you dare call me a slut or easy.”

“I would never say that.”

“Sure, I know most girls say this, but this is the first time that…”

“Oh my God, please do not tell me you’re a virgin,” I cut her off, aghast. “Shit.”

“No, Logan.” She laughed hard. “Though if I was, I would be devastated by your comments. I was about to say, this is my first one-night stand, or the first time I’ve had sex on the first night I met a guy.”

“Really?” I looked at her with a disbelieving gaze. “I’m not calling you a liar, but you were pretty forward for someone who’s never done this before.”

“What can I say?” She laughed. “I knew what I wanted.”

“You’re crazy.”

“You keep saying that.” She stared at me thoughtfully. “Though, I suppose others would agree. I can see the headlines now: ‘Mayor’s daughter has sex romp with town criminal.’”

“What did you say?” My face paled at her words.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude.” She made a face. “I shouldn’t have called you the town criminal.”

“No, no, not that.” I took a deep breath. “Did you say ‘mayor’s daughter’?”

“Yeah.” She nodded and wrinkled her nose. “I know, I’m frightfully rich, and spoiled, and should know better, but…”

“No, that’s not it. You’re Mayor Wright’s daughter?” I sat up and pulled away from her.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” She looked worried. “Does it matter?”

“I need to take you home.” I jumped up. “You need to go home, now.” I picked up her clothes and threw them at her. “Get dressed.”

“But, I wanted to spend the night—”

“I don’t care what you want, Maddie, get dressed.”

“What’s wrong, Logan?” She jumped up and started pulling her clothes on and I turned away from her with my heart pounding.

“I have to take you home, now.” I felt a headache coming on, and I avoided Maddie’s gaze. I never should have pulled over. I knew it had been a mistake to bring her here. I just hoped it wasn’t going to bite me in the ass. I grabbed my stuff, and ignored the slight pang I felt as I realized the reality of the situation. I could never see Maddie again. I had only known her for one night, but I already knew she was going to be someone I’d have a hard time forgetting.
