The Past In The Present

Chapter 7

With the events of the previous week a weight had been lifted from Connie's mind. Jacob on the other hand spent the evenings thinking of the face he had been sure he'd seen in the playground at Holly's school. He sat on the floor of the living room with Simba between his legs fast asleep. The dog had quickly become a focus of the family and even Connie struggled to ignore him. "You going to sit there all night?"

Jacob turned his head quickly to see Connie leaning against the door frame with her arms folded tightly to her chest. "Hey you... How long you been home?" "Long enough to know that there is nothing interesting about that wall you've been staring at."  He smirked rolling his eyes as Connie pushed her tongue into her cheek. "Well, there was nothing better to do sweet cheeks."

She nodded wandering closer as he moved up to sit on the sofa and went to pick up the TV remote. Connie quickly plucked it from his grasp throwing it over her shoulder to the other sofa. Jacob arched a brow as she sat across his lap, her arms moving around his neck. "So, how long have you been back?" "About twenty minutes-" "And you didn't think to do this any sooner?" She smirked as he dragged his fingers back and forth across her legs.

"Thought you might have been busy, you know with Simba..." He nodded narrowing his eyes as she laughed. Jacob pushed his hands up to her thighs as she leant closer pausing just before his lips. Her eyes met his, a glint in his eye that she hadn't seen for days. "I love you." A smile widened on his lips before she pushed forwards to kiss him.

Jacob trailed a hand up, pushing beneath her dress while the other lifted to become tangled in her hair. Connie moaned against his lips as she deepened the kiss pulling him closer. She knelt up pushing herself against his chest, his hands rapidly falling back to her thighs. Connie pressed her hands down onto his shoulders as she looked down above him.

In a sudden movement, Jacob lifted her to press her down against the sofa. Connie looked up at him as he pressed his hands into the cushion either side of her head before his lips came crashing down onto hers. Connie trailed her hands down his chest feeling the definitions of his muscles through his shirt.

Reaching the bottom of it she pulled at it before lifting it over his head and throwing it to the floor. Jacob pushed his lips to her neck causing her to moan and arch her back, rolling her head back as he dragged his mouth over her collarbone. Connie had a hand wrapped around his neck, grasping at it as she tried keeping her breathing steady.

Jacob moved his mouth lower to the top of her dress. The rapid rise and fall of her chest giving her away as Jacob laced his fingers through hers, her hands pushed down into the sofa. He straddled her waist leaning down onto his knees as he lifted his lips from her skin. Her face was flushed with colour as he smirked down at her.

Leaning closer he placed his lips to hers, kissing her passionately keeping his hands entwined with hers. "Jacob-" He stopped her from speaking, kissing her again taking her breath away. Slowly he dropped her hands to run them down the sides of her body until he reached the bottom of her dress.

Standing up he reached for her hands pulling her to her feet. He quickly reattached his lips to hers leading her back out of the room and towards the stairs. He lifted her at the waist, her legs wrapping around him as he carried her up the stairs and across the landing to their bedroom.

Shutting the door he let her feet fall to the floor again as she pushed him back against the door. Jacob's hands roamed her body before he stepped away from the door forcing Connie backwards. He reached to the bottom of her dress edging it up her body until his hands ran over the lace of her underwear.

Connie's breath caught in her throat before his hands skimmed higher over her waist. A hand lingered on her stomach as a smile passed their lips briefly. Neither having to say a word for the other to know what they were thinking. Jacob quickly pulled her dress higher, breaking from her lips as he threw it to the floor.

Jacob let his hands press to her skin sending a shiver down her spine. His breath blew against her neck as they stumbled backwards. Connie dropped down to the bed, Jacob quickly following suit as she pulled him back to her lips. Her hands slipped easily over his shoulders as he deepened the kiss, a hand gliding up to the curve in her waist.

Laying on the bed Connie wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed his hands over her hips removing her underwear. He broke away from her lips for a second to speak. "I love you too..." He was met with a moan before his lips concealed hers as he pushed into her quickly. Her back arched against the bed as he pushed his hands into the mattress.

Connie wrapped her legs around him pulling herself closer as he quickened his pace. Jacob ran a hand back into her hair as she moaned against his lips again. Connie's phone began ringing from the bedside but Jacob quickly reached out a hand to grab it. He broke from her lips to answer it despite Connie trying to grab it.

"Hi this is Connie's phone, she can't answer right now she's... Shall we say busy? Yeah... Busy." He hung it up looking down at the shock written over her face. "Jacob. Who was it-" "Someone called Hansen?" A cold look swept over her face as she glared up at him. Jacob shrugged switching the phone off before dropping it to the bed falling back down over her. "Guess you'll cope with that one tomorrow-" "Jac-ob..."

He deepened the kiss beginning to move at a steady pace again as she held onto his shoulders. Jacob felt himself coming closer as she reached around his back, her nails dragging across his skin as he moved faster once again. Connie arched her back as she tightened around him, her breathing erratic.

Jacob dropped down to the bed beside her as she turned onto her side. "I cannot believe you said that to the CEO of the hospital." He smirked lifting a hand to her cheek brushing her hair back from her face. "I'm sure you'll manage with whatever he says tomorrow." Shaking her head he leant down and kissed her gently before smiling at her. "I love you-" "Hmm, my feelings for you right now are debateable muscles."

He laughed laying down as she tucked herself into his side, her head resting to his chest. Pressing a quick kiss to her hair he pulled the covers over them as they settled down for the night.
