I climbed onto the table and slid my knees into the notches that had been built to my own specifications. I was primed at the right angle, and I entered her with one swift thrust. She let out a gasp as I embedded myself into her balls-deep.
She began biting her lip again.
“You can speak now, Melanie. Speak at your will.”
“God, thank you. You feel so good inside me, Jonah. I’ve been longing for this all night.”
I groaned. “Me too.” I pulled out all the way so the tip of my cock was only barely touching her slick folds. I waited for a moment, even though my instinct was to plunge back in.
I wanted to tease her a little.
But only a little.
I thrust back into her, all the way, pulled out again, and thrust back in.
She screamed my name.
And I thrust again.
My entire body was tense and rigid, in need of release.
So I pulled back out again, tickling her folds with the head of my cock, and then thrust into her violently, letting my orgasm release into her.
As I emptied into her, the tension and stress left my body.
And I knew, with this woman by my side, I could get through anything.
Anything at all.

After we showered, we sat together in the bedroom, Melanie with her laptop.
“What are you working on?” I asked.
“Just some basic searching. Trying to find out what the future lawmakers club is. Maybe it’s some national thing, like National Honor Society. So far I haven’t found anything though.”
“None of this makes sense. I always thought my father went to Snow Creek High School. That’s where he always said he went.”
“Your family has a lot of money, Jonah. It also makes sense that he’d go to a private preparatory school like Tejon.”
“Wendy Madigan told us so many lies.”
“I know. But remember, you’re the one who had a feeling she wasn’t trustworthy when you met with her. Turns out you were right.”
“Great. I was right. So why do I feel so awful?”
“You know the answer to that as well as I do. Because this is an awful situation. And now you need to find out what your father’s role was.”
I shook my head. “I’ve always wondered why my father swept Talon’s abduction under the rug and never let any of us deal with it. I always wanted to know why, for my own sake as well as Talon’s. Now that I know about a link to the three abductors…” I raked my fingers through my hair. “Melanie, I’m afraid.”
“Afraid of what?”
“Afraid of finding out who my father truly was.”
She put her laptop away, came to me, and then, taking a seat on my lap, curled her arms around my neck. “Our parents are never really who we want them to be. I know mine aren’t.”
Her words made me feel selfish and self-indulgent. I had been focusing so much on my own familial turmoil, and here she was, the woman I loved, and I knew next to nothing about her own family. “Tell me about your parents, sweetheart.”
