Stand and Defend (Lakes Hockey Series Book 4)

When I wake, I roll over and smile seeing Jordan’s hair fanned on the pillow next to me. Her shallow breaths are slow and relaxed. She’s beyond stunning.

Even though it wasn’t a real proposal, my hand still shook when I slid the candy ring on her finger. A rush like no other. I wonder if she knows deep down there’s a part of me asking for her whole future. The thought must have crossed her mind.

Wrapping an arm around her, I pull her close to me and tuck my face into her shoulder to breathe her in. I drop kisses down the column of her neck, and she stirs, sighing softly. She lifts a hand and wraps it behind my neck. I feel the smile on her face.

“I need to wake up.” Her voice is tired and scratchy.

I smile. “Let me do it.”

Peeling back the sheets, I get between her legs and drag her panties down. As soon as I spread her legs, she tries to grab the blankets. “Can I have my covers back?”

My palms cover her thighs and place them over my shoulders. She’ll be overheated before she knows it.

“It’s freez⁠—”

I lick up her center, flattening my tongue, and repeat it until she turns boneless and sinks into the mattress. I love the way she tastes. Dipping my tongue inside, I take more because I’m self-indulgent when it comes to Jordan. But how can I feel bad about it when her pussy was made for me?

She’s resting comfortably with her eyes closed and an arm draped over her forehead. I nip at her thigh, her eyes pop open, and I chuckle. My middle finger delves into her tight opening, and I stroke as I lick. Her sweet moan makes me smile, and I wrap my lips around her clit and tug on it while sucking.

Her back arches, and she gasps when I add another finger.

“Wow.”

“Mm-hm,” I say against her dewy flesh, my voice muffled.

She threads her hand into my hair and claws while letting out the sexiest sounds, she’s a siren. Her stomach waxes and wanes as she pants.

“More. I need more.”

I sit up, look down on her, and stuff a third finger inside. She winces as I stretch her. My other thumb ghosts over her swollen clit.

Frowning, I cock my head to the side. “More what?”

“More of you.”

“I think if you beg a little more sweetly, I might be convinced,” I suggest.

“I’m not good at begging.”

“All the more reason to practice.”

“Please . . .”

I smile. “Please what?”

“Please fuck me?”

“Hmm . . . No.”

She sits up on her elbows and drops her mouth open. “You can’t do that.”

I chuckle. “I can do whatever I want.”

Pushing up to a sitting position, she swallows as I force my fingers deeper. She pulls her top over her head, and when I see her piercings, my dick twitches.

Blowing out a breath, I groan. “Goddamn, Sunshine . . . Those look so good on you.”

She pushes her breasts together, and I avert my eyes. I’m in control, she won’t exploit my weaknesses. I’ll show her she’s great at begging.

“Oh god,” she mewls as I bring her to the edge.

Her jaw is clenched, and she’s grinding against my hand. There she is.

“You ready to play nice?”

She falls back on the bed, and her tits bounce. I remove my fingers and drop to my elbows again. The tip of my tongue brushes her clit. She squirms, and her thighs come up. I have to use both hands to hold them open.

She’s shaking. “Cam, I’m begging for it. Please.”

“So beg harder.”

A tear slips down her cheek, and I smile. I’ve learned that sex is an emotional experience for Jordan, I love that about her.

“Aw, are you going to cry about it?” Another lick, and I curl my fingers inside her.

“Please . . . please, fuck me.”

I enjoy hearing her whine like that, it shows her desperation. I suck her clit into my mouth and immediately pop off it. “Again.”

“I want it . . .” Her whimper is so pathetic, I smile. I grind into the bed, chasing my own friction.

“Please, Cam . . . Make me your slut. I’ll be a good girl. I need to come on your cock, sir.”

Shit.

I spit on her clit and sit up, keeping her still by pressing my hand to her stomach, pushing inside her and feeling it through her abdomen. It’s such a turn-on to feel her getting fucked under my palm.

She cries out and opens her legs for me.

“You can’t get enough, can you?”

Her head shakes back and forth, and she holds her knees apart.

I thumb her clit again. “I love making you my slut. You are being such a good girl for me, spreading your legs like that. Now ride me so I can see exactly how you get yourself off with my cock.”

She smiles and I roll us, putting her on top. Her pierced nipples are killing me. I won’t tug on them yet because they’re still tender, but in a week, I won’t be able to keep my hands off those little barbells. She rises to her knees, and I glance at the healing tattoo on her thigh that matches the one over my heart. She drops down and moans.

My sweet girl has come so far into her own. “I’m so proud of you, Jordan.” Her eyes soften, and she leans down to kiss me before sitting up again with a smirk, then grinding over me. My phone rings on the bedside table, and she freezes.

“Ignore it,” I tell her.

Her eyes are locked on the screen. “It’s Bryan.”

At first, I’m angry, but my features soften, and I smirk. “Hand it to me.” Jordan leans over, plucks my phone off the nightstand, and passes it. She begins to dismount, but I hold her in place. “No, you’re going to bounce on this dick and keep fucking yourself on me until you get off.”

She nods, and I answer the call. “Who’s this?”

“You know who the fuck it is.” I grin ear to ear. “You aren’t going to marry her,” he barks.

My fingertips travel up and down her back. I look her right in the eye as I respond. “I have every intention of making Jordan my wife.” It’s the truth. I’m all in with her.

She stills, and I hold the phone away slightly. “Don’t stop.”

Her hips gyrate again, and I smile, biting my lip. How did I ever get so lucky?

“That’s why I’m calling. I have an offer to make you,” he says, calmer now.

My eyebrows shoot up. “What kind of offer?”

“Name a price.”

He wants to buy her back from me? I laugh incredulously. I’m disgusted by him for even suggesting such a thing. “She doesn’t have one.”

“Yes, she does. You just haven’t thought of a high enough number yet.”

“There’s no number,” I grit out. It makes me angrier that he’s arguing. “You had your chance and you fucked up. You have no clue how to treat women, certainly not one of her caliber. She’s done with you.”

“I gave her everything!”

“You gave her bruises and a fucked-up sense of self-worth! And you should thank Jordan that I haven’t killed you yet, because I promise, she’s the only thing standing in my way.”

I take a deep breath, he will not rattle me. I smile and pull the phone from my ear and hit speakerphone.

“Do you seriously think I’m going to step aside and let you eat my lunch?” he says.

“I already have . . . I can still taste her on my tongue. God, she’s sweet.” I groan and slide a finger under her clit. Her eyebrows soften as she whimpers. “You can’t put a price on happiness.”

“You can, actually.”

Jordan’s eyes twinkle with rage when she realizes the nature of his call. “Then, tell me, Bryan . . . why are you still so fucking miserable?” she interrupts. “The best thing you ever did was fuck my best friend, the best thing I ever did was fuck yours. The only difference is I love Camden. You only love yourself, and that’s why you’ll end up alone. When are you going to realize that everyone in your life is simply putting up with you?”

She’s hot when she’s angry.

Her hips snap, and she’s right on the edge. I smirk. She’s getting off on taking back her power from him. I set the phone on my chest and clutch her throat with one hand.

“That’s it, Sunshine. Tell him how good I make you feel.” I rub her clit faster, and her eyelashes flutter as she rocks into me, her voice hitches.

“You lost, man. It’s over,” I say. “Eyes, Jordan . . .” She blinks open and her body clenches. Christ. My smile stretches ear to ear. “That’s my girl.”

With hands planted on my chest, she rolls her hips as she comes. Her breathy cry is so fucking sexy. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think she was putting on a show, but the sounds she makes when she orgasms are this sensual every time.

“That’s what it sounds like when she comes. Thought you’d want to hear it since you never got to experience it yourself.”

“Both of you can go to hell.”

“Wait, before you go, I want to give my sincere thanks for giving me the opportunity to show her how priceless she is.” I smile. “But we need some privacy while we get settled, we have a lot of planning to do—you know how it is.”

“You’re going to regret the day you ever left me.”

“No, Bryan,” she says, her voice eerily calm. “You’re going to regret the day you ever underestimated me.” She gazes at her new manicure and sighs. “I’m not to be trifled with.”

“You’re a—” I cut him off before he insults my queen.

“Say goodbye, Jordan,” I tell her.

“Good riddance,” she mutters, smiling and leaning down to kiss me. I end the call and toss my phone to the side.

Sitting up and cradling her back, I bring her lips to mine. “What a good wife you’ll be.” Her sigh tells me she’s ready to go again. She pushes me to the mattress and grinds, then braces a hand on my neck. She’s earned my submission this morning.

I grab her other hand and place it overtop, wrapping her grip around me. “Now squeeze. You have all the power, baby.” A smile creeps onto her face.

Her muscles tense and she groans. Clutching her hips, I fuck up into her. I won’t last like this. Her cunt has an iron grip. Shit.

“Just like that. Milk my cock and show me how much you love my cum.”

Her lips are parted on a silent scream, her body shakes, and seeing her pleasure, makes me so happy. The way her pussy convulses over my length is unbelievable.

“Fuck, Sunshine.” My ass clenches, and my balls draw up. I explode into her, cum spilling out of her as I thrust through my climax. I don’t know if I’ve ever had that much volume before, but seeing her hold her ground and take control, made me feral. She’s my every desire rolled into one and has me wrapped around her finger. She will forever have my heart.

“I’m so in love with you, Camden.”

I flip us, drop to my elbows, and kiss her with everything I have. She’s worthy of so much love. I plan to give her double.
