Reaching foracross the piano, hitting the floor

Jake pushes the shirt downit aside

His hand e of the cup of er in and over the tip of asp

His hand leaveshis erection

He nudges it againstinto mine, filled with a hurt I don’t understand

"Jake…," I whisper, but he cutshis ry cock inside me

I cry out in pleasure at the sudden invasion Jake grabs a tight hold of, soothing

With each hard thrust, the keys on the piano groan their own frustrated, chaotic chord I can feel hiainst me, almost desperate to find his escape, while my sounds of pleasure echo around the library

"Lie back," he growls in my ear

My bare back hits the cool piano at his command I can barely feel the chill because I’er and need forhim in this moment There is only hi and no one can touch us And I know it’s exactly where he needs to be right now

Jake liftsme closer, and the instant he touches the spot in h me

But Jake’s not done, as he continues to chase his own clirit, jaw clenches, eyes burning with hunger, thehim, and in this moment he has never looked more sexy tohis head back, his face tight in release, he drives his orgas hihtly around his cock

"Fuck," he says asto catch our breath

He leans down, resting his chest against me His head on er around the shell of his ear, listening to his shallow breaths, feeling the lingering frustration in him like it’s my own

"Talk tohis chin on o to bed" Rising, he pulls out of me carefully

Jake reaches a hand to me and eases me off the piano He keeps hold ofthe clothes I’rab one of Jake’s T-shirts from the wardrobe and put it on

When I return, he’s already in bed, so I clile up to his warm, hard body

He exhales heavily, and I feel his hot breath brush over my skin

"Jonny’s mom called while you were out"

So this is what’s eating at him This is why he just fucked me so desperately on the piano

I tilt my head back to him "What did she want?"

He rubs his hand over his hair, and stares up at the dark ceiling "She saw the press release about S the band"

"Oh"

His eyes meet mine in the darkness "I hadn’t called to tell her it was happening"

"How did she take it?"

"She yelled She cried She’s hurt, and she has a right to be I fucked up I should have told her I didn’t think I hate that I didn’t I feel like such a fuckin’ bastard" He shakes his head "She said I’m heartless and selfish…"

"No, Jake, no…"

"She’s right I am But she said…" He takes a shaky breath "She said I was replacing Jonny That I’d forgotten about hi Jonny fro like he never existed She said Jonny would never have done that if it had been ht He wouldn’t have"

"That’s bullshit" I move around onto "

I’er I feel I know she lost her son and is grieving, but she has no right to hurt Jake this way

"I don’t think she is, Tru" He shakes his head again, looking away "But I haven’t forgotten him" His voice is so quiet, as his eyes return to mine "How could I? But I’ve just been so happy with you and the baby…when I asked Smith to become a permanentto hurt anyone Least of all Jonny’s parents But I should have called"

Sitting up, I straddle his waist and trap his face between listening in his eyes, and it makes every fibre of me ache

"You listen to ot a malicious bone in your body Yes, you , but I think even if you had called, she would have reacted the sa about that But she’s wrong when she says that you’re replacing Jonny You’re not If you’d forgotten hi S the proceeds to a charity that provides support to people affected by car accidents, and their faht for the band now That’s what Jonny would want, and would have done, if he was in your shoes"

Jake’s chest expands on a breath He closes his eyes, his head gently shaking
