Jake Lanza is one of Riverdale New York’s favorite sons. He owns a tattoo parlor in the small upstate town and prides himself on being a fun-loving, live by the seat of your pants type of guy. He has everything he wants in life, a thriving business, a great family and a best friend with whom he could never live without.
Cara Sloane weaved her way into Jake’s life when they were fifteen years old. After her life fell apart at such a young age, Jake helped her heal, and began to pick up the pieces of her fallen life. His unconventional ways slowly had him becoming the anchor in her life.
Now fourteen years later Jake begins to see Cara in a new light. The things he thought he never wanted, he suddenly began to yearn for. The only problem was they were both too frightened to lose the greatest love either of them has ever known. Can Jake convince Cara there is more for them than just a friendship? Is he willing to take that gamble himself?
The door opened again but this time Cara didn’t have to turn
around to know who had walked through it. She smiled instantly, dimming the lights
as she turned around and bumped into Jake’s hard chest. A laugh escaped her
lips as her eyes peered up at him. He grabbed her face, pressing his mouth
firmly onto hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he hoisted her up,
her legs swung around his waist as his hands cupped her ass. He carried her to
the pool table, setting her down gently down on the felt then pulled his mouth
away from hers.
“That’s one way to say hello.” She panted as he shrugged his
jacket off his shoulders throwing it onto the table behind her. A devilish grin
spread across his face as he pushed her legs apart and stepped between them.
“The best way if you ask me.” He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
Jake’s quirky trademark gesture that undid her every single time. “Are we alone?” He said as his fingers worked
the tiny buttons on the front of her shirt.
“Yes.” She said excitement evident in her voice as she laced
her fingers through the belt loops of his jeans tugging him closer to her.
“Good I’ve been dreaming of doing this to you since I left
here. I almost tattooed your name to the guys back piece I was doing because I
couldn’t get you out of my head.” He said before his lips crashed onto hers.
Between kisses Jake managed to slide her shirt off, cupping her
breasts in his palms as his tongue lavished her mouth. His fingertips toyed
with the strap of her bra as she undid the top button of his jeans. Her hand
cupped his erection through the denim and she heard him suck in a breath before
his mouth found one of her nipples through the lace that shielded her breasts.
His hands traveled down to her thighs and he began to hike her shirt higher
inch by inch until it pooled around her waist. He tore his mouth from her
breast and grinned at her.
“Thanks for wearing a skirt.” He smirked and she cocked her
head as she slid the zipper of his jeans down.
“You’re welcome. Now shut up and fuck me.” She tried to hide
the grin on her face by chewing on her lip. Her eyes gave up her laughter and
he grinned at her. “Please?” She offered with a shrug. They both laughed before
their lips met.
As their tongues danced their lips fused together both sets of
hands worked on pushing down Jake’s pants and boxers satisfied when they
finally were hanging past his knees. He reached between her legs slipping his
fingers under the scrap of fabric that covered her aching mound. He pushed one
finger between her folds causing her to arch instantly against his hand.
“Damn it Jake stop teasing me.” She said as his finger pushed
in and out of her. She wanted that hard length she eyed inside of her not his
fingers. He pressed his lips to her neck and spoke against her skin.
“Tell me what you want.” He said his tongue traveling along the
base of her neck.
“I want you inside me fast and hard.” She all but pleaded,
grabbing his head with her hands. She looked into his eyes demanding he take
her just as she said.
His eyes never left hers and she watched him withdraw his
finger from inside her. He dipped his fingertip into his mouth, treating
himself to a taste closing his eyes as if to tell her was savoring her flavor.
When his eyes opened, she moaned slightly watching him was doing crazy things
to her insides. He winked at her as he shuffled her thong down her legs.
Cara should’ve be worried that someone would catch them like
this especially Rudy, he had only left a little while ago what if he forgot
something? She would bet her weeks’ pay that he’d take back all the nice things
he had said before he left if he saw the town’s favorite badass and his number
one bartender making use of his pool table. For some reason, though the thought
of anyone walking in on them didn’t bother her as much as not having Jake at
that exact moment. To hell with thinking, she spread her legs and he stepped
between them. She wrapped her arms around him giving him her ‘fuck me’ eyes,
knowing very well when she looked at him like that he’d lose control.
Biting back a curse Jake drove his hard dick into her quivering
pussy. Her ass was spread against the felt on the pool table as she willingly
widened her legs further to accommodate him. She tilted her body back his hands
taking her hips hostage working them to the rhythm of his thrusts. Cara’s head
flew back her hair cascading across the pool table, she felt sexy and
completely in the moment. She gripped Jake’s shoulders for leverage her nails
biting at his skin, urging him to pick up his pace to charge into her harder.
Her release hit her just as hard as he took her. Her body began
to move rapidly against him and together they drove her orgasm home. Her legs
tightened around him as if to hold him still as she came. In her state of
euphoria she could feel him unleash his restraint and let himself join her. He
slammed his cock deep inside her, letting out a strangled moan as he buried his
face between her breasts.
Cara took the sight of them in rubbing her hands down his back
as she chuckled. “I swear I will never look at this pool table the same.”
Panting, he pulled back and drew out a deep breath. He smiled
as he dislodged himself from her bending down to pick up his pants. He pulled
them up his legs, tucking his semi-swollen cock into his boxers then drew the
zipper up on his jeans leaving the top button undone. He reached over her and
grabbed her shirt.
“You’ve ruined any shot of me winning a game of pool in this
place.” He smiled as he helped her with her shirt.
She hopped off the table and straightened her skirt before
frowning. No way in hell was he going to let her on his bike with her bare
legs. Then she remembered she had a pair of jeans in the locker in Rudy’s
office. “I have a change of clothes in
the back. Still want to go for that ride?” She said as she worked on closing
the buttons of her shirt.
Jake stepped towards her reaching for her hand. He laced their
fingers together before he dipped his head and kissed her gently. “Go change
I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.” It was more of a promise than a simple
statement. She smiled widely at him.
“I’ll go anywhere with you.” She gave his lips another quick
peck. “I’ll be right back.” He nodded and she scurried off to change her
clothes. She laughed at herself for being worried things would change between
them.
Pieces is a well written first installment in a romance series about two best friends who finally realize they are made for each other.
Jake Lanza and Cara Sloane have been best friends since they were fifteen.
Jake has always considered himself Cara's protector. Most recently he has decided that he wants Cara as more than just a friend.
We are taken on a journey with these two entertaining characters as they explore their new found relationship. Jake is funny and the ultimate prankster, Cara is his adorable sidekick. In the background we get to meet the rest of the Riverdale clan, Luke Jake's older brother and Sam their sister as well as Nick Luke's best friend. The bond they have all shared is fun to read. And there is definitely something brewing between Nick and Sam that makes me want to know what will happen next. I felt like I was part of their group and could picture hanging out at the bar with this fun loving group of people. Jake and Cara face some very emotional issues in this book that really pulled me in and made me care for these people. I look forward to reading what happens in the next installments. Highly recommend.
