Falling for the Backup (Novella): The Assassins Series by Toni Aleo Page A

Jordan chuckled as she apologized before looking over at him. Her eyes were dark with desire and he wanted nothing more than to close the distance between them and continue where they’d left off but it would be only minutes before he had her naked and in bed. Chewing on her bottom lip, she said, “Ready, set,”
    “Go,” he said before turning and jogging off towards his truck. He wasn’t sure if he was doing the right thing, but for once he wasn’t thinking about what was right and wrong. Reaching his truck, he got in then pressed navigate on his phone before pulling out into traffic and heading west on West End. When he saw a Walgreens, he pulled into the parking lot and rushed inside for condoms then got back on the road to Aynslee’s house. His nerves were out of control and he wasn’t lying when he said he was done walking away.  
    Pulling into the driveway of a small white Victorian style house behind a black SUV, Jordan put his truck into park. It was a nice house, quaint with green shutters and a wraparound porch. Potted plants covered the stairs, and she’d placed little yard ornaments throughout the yard. As he shut off the truck he got out tucking the small box of condoms in his pants before walking up to the front door. It was a nice quiet neighborhood, he didn’t see anyone around. As he climbed the steps, he saw Anynslee holding the door open, waiting for him.  
    “I was starting to think you chickened out on me,” she teased as he drank her in. She had way too much clothing on and he was just the guy to peel each piece off of her. But first he needed to know something.  
    “You’re sure?”
    She looked confused as she asked, “That you were going to chicken out on me? No, I was just teasing.”
    A grin pulled at Jordan’s lips as he shook his head.  
    “No, I mean about this,” he asked moving his hand between them.  
    Her face flushed as she looked down at the ground but she nodded, and Jordan released the breath he was holding.  
    “I’m nervous, but I’m sure.”
    “I’m nervous too,” Jordan admitted as he moved towards her, gently pushing her against the door. He placed his hands at her waist, lifting her so that her face was aligned with his. Her legs wrapped around his hips, as her eyes went wide with surprise. As he held her up, he moved his lips along her jaw, dusting kisses before taking her earlobe in his mouth. Closing his eyes, he took in a deep breath as his tongue moved along her neck and ear, her gasps encouraging him to continue.  
    “I usually don’t do this, I just want you to know.   But it’s different with you, I want you, so bad,” she gasped out, her fingers digging into his shoulders, her legs squeezing him tight.  
    Jordan leaned into her, showing her how much he wanted her. Her moans filled the room making him throb against her. Jordan pulled back to look into her flushed face. She was so beautiful, so fucking hot, they needed to find a bed quickly. Her eyes were half lidded and her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Her shirt had to go, he wanted to get his mouth full of the breast he had been dreaming of. Moving his hand up to her face, he held it in place before covering her mouth with his. Moving his tongue into her mouth, their tongues danced and curled together. God, he wasn’t going to make it.  
    Leaving her lips only for a second, he whispered against her swollen lips, “I want you. Now.”
     
    ***
    Aynslee couldn’t believe this was finally happening.   Her body was on fire and
    with each sweep of his tongue against hers, she wanted to scream from the complete pleasure of it. She had never been kissed like this. She was completely lost in his arms and all thoughts about her actions were promptly ignored. Even her worried thoughts about what would happen after were gone, she was into the moment.
    Closing her eyes, she pulled at his tee, bringing it up his chest so she could feel his hot skin beneath it. Her fingers explored his
