Let Me Love You (Love #4)(23)
Author: Megan Smith

The girls hug and I shake Jackson’s hand before I lead Jaylinn off the dance floor and out of the club before her half-sister can set her claws into our perfect night.

Cooper hails us a taxi and before the seats even have a chance to warm up we are on each other. Cooper pulls me on his lap so that I’m straddling him. I place my hands on each side of his face and kiss him like my life depends on it.

The alcohol is coursing through our bodies but maybe this is what I need to finally get him to make love to me. It’s all or nothing tonight. It’s a new year with new changes. Cooper is either going to hit a grand slam or he’s striking out tonight.

I break the kiss, “I…” I reach down and start to unbutton his shirt. “We need to get home quickly.”

Cooper chuckles and grabs my wrist, stopping me. “We’ve got all night, Twinkle Toes,” He gives me a devilish smile, “and all day tomorrow.”

I kiss him desperately again. Cooper runs his hands up my thighs and grazes my panties. “Damn,” Cooper breathes heavily, “you’re already wet. I can feel it through your panties.”

I run my hands through his hair and pull on it. I bring his head closer to me and moan seductively. Cooper grips my h*ps and grinds me against his body.

The cab driver clears his throat. “No sex in here…”

I freeze. Shit, I forgot where we were for a second. Cooper chuckles and removes me from his lap. I look up and notice that we’ve pulled up in front of the house. Cooper slides out and extends a hand out for me. He pays the cab fare and then picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.

Cooper’s phone starts ringing. I smack him on his ass. “Put me down.”

“Nope.” He opens the front door and we step into the house.

Cooper’s phone rings again.

“You better answer that.” I say playfully. “It’s probably your other girlfriend looking for you.”

He slips my heels off one by one and leaves them by the front door before heading into the kitchen. He places me down on the counter and fishes his phone out of pocket.

“Hello?”

Cooper tucks a piece of my hair that has escaped from my up-do behind my ear and runs his finger over my cheek and down my neck, causing a trail of goose bumps to appear in his wake.

He chuckles, “What? She had a headache and wanted to go to bed.”

I raise my eyebrows at him.

He takes the phone away from his ear and puts it on speaker phone.

“I mean it, ass**le. Give her some aspirin and put her to bed. And when I say to bed I mean alone.”

Ah, big protective brother is always looking out for my virtue, such a big brotherly act.

I moan, kind of quietly but loud enough for Hunter to hear.

“Cooper!” He bellows.

Cooper and I chuckle. It’s so easy now that the tables are turned.

“Relax, we’re in the kitchen.” I giggle.

“Oh that’s not much better considering the story you told me about Hailey and Mason.” I can imagine him rolling his eyes right about now. “Let’s leave the running of the bases to the field, alright?”

“Yes Dad.” I answer.

I hear the baby crying in the background. “Don’t you have a baby to feed or something? A shitty diaper to change?” I ask.

“Look, Jay—”

Cooper cuts Hunter off from lecturing me. “Go take care of your family, Hunter. I’ll take care of mine.”

Cooper’s admission that I’m his family grabs at my heart. He’s never actually said something like that that I know of. I’m a little in shock and my eyes are wide in surprise but Cooper doesn’t say anything more about it. He just hangs up the phone before Hunter can respond.

Cooper pushes the phone aside and then takes me by surprise when he roughly spreads my legs apart and steps between them. He tips my head back and devours my mouth. His tongue makes slow, sweet love to mine. A tingling sensation starts from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.

Reluctantly we part a few inches apart both gasping for air. His kiss has left a burning fire in my mouth.

“Cooper,” I say, breathlessly moaning out his name. The sound hits him and I see that immediately.

I’ve never seen Cooper’s eyes this shade of blue, they’re almost black and it nearly did me in just by the color to know what he’s feeling. His eyes flick between mine and my lips. I stick my tongue out to wet my lips. Cooper growls, literally growls, and pulls me to the end of the counter.

“I want you in the worst f**king way, Jay…” he growls again, this time against my skin and it sends a tingle through my entire body. “I want to taste every single inch of you.” His teeth nip lightly at my neck, giving me a sample of what he wants, maybe even needs at this point. “I want the scent of your body all over me, on my bed…and the feel of your bare skin pressed against mine.”

If I wasn’t wet before I’m soaking just from his words. Cooper and I rarely talk when we’re messing around, mostly because our mouths are busy and there doesn’t seem to be a need for words, but tonight it’s different. He’s different. I’m different. We’re different.

He gathers the bottom of my dress in his hands. I shift from side to side as he pushes it up around my hips. He grabs my ass and lifts me from the counter. “Jesus…I love your ass.”

I wrap my legs and arms around Cooper as he carries me to the bedroom; all the while he keeps kneading my ass. When we reach the room I slowly unwrap my legs from around him and slide down his body. With my feet on the floor I slide my hands down over his shoulders to his chest and give him a little shove. He lands on the bed and braces himself up on his elbows.

I kneel between Cooper’s knees and reach for the button on his jeans. “I want these off.” My voice is breathy.

I unzip his jeans and open them so he can lift his hips. I pull them down to his ankles and make quick work of untying his shoes and throwing them over my shoulder. I remove his jeans the rest of the way with lightning speed. Cooper’s erection is free and he’s already hard. I lick my lips at the sight of it.

Slowly, I run my hands up his muscular thighs and grip him in my right hand. He sucks a breath in through his teeth, his jaw is clenched and his eyes are a midnight shade. I move my hand up and down then slowly lean forward and lick the tip with my tongue. Being slightly intoxicated is making me a little brave. It’s exactly what I need.

I’ve never actually given Cooper a b**w j*b before. We’ve messed around plenty but this is a first for me and I want that with him.
