Sins of the Past (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

directly at hers.
    “You have nothing to worry about when it comes to Ashley.” Jacob leaned down and kissed her before continuing. “When I moved to this town, I wasn’t looking for a relationship. I just wanted somewhere I could recover in peace before I decided what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Meeting you was just a bonus. If you’re willing, I want to see where this relationship takes us.”
    “You know about my past and why I don’t put myself out there.” Lorna decided Jacob was worth taking a chance for. “You’re the first guy I have ever had feelings for, which is why I acted like a complete ass. I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve because I know how it feels to have it crushed, but if you’re willing to take a chance on me then I can do the same.”
    It felt good and scary at the same time finally telling Jacob how she felt about him. She knew she was well on the way to falling in love with the man and vowed to never jump to conclusions again. If their relationship ended, it wouldn’t be because of her stubborn pride. Nor would it be because of Ashley Johansen and her bid to find the perfect husband. If the woman even looked at Jacob wrong, Lorna was going to give her the beat down she had been putting off since the eighth grade.
    “Are we still on for the fair?” Jacob asked, drawing Lorna out of her daydream of smashing Ashley’s perfect face against the concrete.
    “Yes. We can still go to the fair together. In the meantime…” She finished her statement by pulling Jacob against her. She ran her nose along his collarbone and took in a deep breath of his masculine scent before claiming his lips with hers. Her stubbornness had kept them apart for two days and Lorna knew she had a lot of time to make up for. For once in her life, she didn’t care about work and car deadlines, or what anyone else in town thought of her. She was going to spend her time making out with her boyfriend and enjoying it.

    “I’m really glad you agreed to come with me tonight.”
    Lorna looked up at Jacob and grinned as she popped another piece of cotton candy in her mouth. She just about moaned at the sweet taste. Pulling another piece, she held it up to his mouth and waited for him to lean down and take it. “I’m really glad I came too.” They had been there about two hours just talking and checking out all of the sights. They weren’t able to go on any of the rides because of his knee, but Lorna was still having fun.
    She shivered when Jacob sucked her finger into his mouth along with the cotton candy and nipped it before letting it go. He had done it several times since telling her she had to hand feed him as they walked along since he needed both hands to use his crutches. Each time he pulled her finger into his mouth, it took everything Lorna had to keep from throwing him to the ground and giving the crowd a real show.
    When they had arrived, it seemed as though the town took a collective gasp when they saw her get out of Jacob’s truck with him. Since then, it seemed that as the day went on, the crowd that followed them around had grown. Lorna could hear the whispers, but was trying her best to ignore them. Between her soaked panties and rising lust for Jacob, and her frustration with the crowd that refused to give them any privacy, her warring emotions were about to drive her crazy.
    As if sensing her thoughts, Jacob stopped and pulled her up against his chest. “Don’t worry about them. They will eventually get bored once they see they aren’t going to get a show. They’ll move on soon enough.”
    Lorna really hoped so. She turned her nose and ran it along Jacob’s collarbone before kissing it. She loved his masculine smell and it did a lot more to calm her than his words. Even though the night was really warm, she wiggled her way closer to him as if she was trying to burrow under his skin. The warmth of Jacob’s large body felt wonderful.
    “Come on. You’ve had your cotton candy, now I want one of those huge corn dogs and maybe a beer.”
    Lorna laughed and turned to lead Jacob. “Come on. I know exactly where we can get both.”
    She led him over to a tent that had several picnic benches set up under it. “Have a seat and I’ll go get everything.” She knew he was having a hard time maneuvering through the crowd with his crutches, and based on the stress lines around his mouth and the sheen of sweat above his lip, Jacob was in pain.
