Free Unbreakable by Rebecca Shea Page B

breaths.
    His breathing becomes more intense, and I feel him harden even more. Our breathing is rapid, and with two last thrusts, he moans, and I feel his warm release inside of me. He lowers himself onto me, and I can feel his heart beating against my chest. With his head lying between my head and shoulder, his soft lips and hot breath on my neck cause another wave of goose bumps to prick my skin. Overwhelmed with emotions, I hold him firmly in place on top of me, not allowing him to break our connection.
    Taking a minute to recover, he lies there, still inside of me, and I’m not ready for him to leave me yet. “I love you. I will never get tired of loving you,” he whispers with his lips still pressed against my neck. His breathing becoming less labored, and he pulls himself from me and settles at my side. Pulling me to him, he wraps me in his arms, his grip firm. I hear him repeat those words again, the most beautiful words from my perfect man, I close my eyes, burning this memory into my mind for the rest of my life. I cannot imagine this moment being any more perfect, or with anyone else.

 
     
    I have never been happier in my life. In the last month, I got the girl and was accepted as a recruit into the Santa Ruiz Fire Department. I spend most of my days training and taking my EMT classes at the local community college. Taking summer classes wasn’t originally my plan, but getting accepted into the academy forced me to get them out of the way sooner rather than later. If all goes as planned, I should be finished with classes by the end of fall, and hopefully, an employed fire fighter by the new year.
    Jess is sitting on my bed, reading a smut book on her iPad, while I get some studying done. I hear her close the cover on her iPad, stand up and walk over behind me. She wraps her arms around my neck from behind me, and rests her chin on my shoulder.
    “What is this?” she asks, reaching over my shoulder to pick up a packet from the stack of my notebooks.
    “A study guide for that test I have tomorrow.”
    “Eww…” she says, studying the information I have to memorize.
    “I’m not worried. I know most of the information. I just need to brush up on a few things,” I say confidently.
    “So, do you have time to sneak away?”
    “Depends what we’re doing.” I wag my eyebrows at her.
    “Is that all you think about?”
    “Well, not all that I think about, but…”
    “Okay, that’s enough.” She laughs at me. “I just wanted to go for a quick run.”
    “Sure. Let me just get changed and we’ll go.”
    “I’ll meet you out front in a few minutes. I have to run home and get changed,” she says, setting the study guide back on my desk.
    Pressing a kiss to my cheek, she leaves in a hurry. Jess is already stretching when I meet her in front of her house. Coming up behind her, I snake my arm around her waist and pull her into me, kissing the side of her neck. Her head falls back, and I hear a slight hum coming from her throat. Gently nipping her neck, I feel her shiver.
    “Let’s go, handsome.” She smiles at me and smacks me on the ass playfully. Reaching out to try and smack her ass back, she yelps and takes off running. Completing our first mile quickly, we turn around to head home, Jess is pushing me hard today, and I love that she challenges me. Coming up on the last half mile, she’s in almost a full sprint. God, I love watching her run. Her hair is pulled into a ponytail, and her long legs glide through the air. I love running just to watch her. I’d be fine in a smelly gym on a treadmill if it wasn’t for her. Slowing down as we come up on our street, our jog turns into a walk.
    “Sorry, not much of a cool down today. I have to shower and meet Ava at the nail salon in about an hour,” she says, pulling the binder out of her ponytail. Her long, dark hair hangs down past her shoulders. Taking a few deep breaths, I walk over to her. She is standing with her hands on her hips and her head
