Fitting the Pieces

The Riverdale Series – Book Three

Janine Infante Bosco

Blog Tour:

You’ve laughed with them. You’ve cried with them. Now it’s time to say goodbye to the Lanza Family, in the final installment of The Riverdale Series.

Luke Lanza is a man who has always done the responsible thing. He has faced a lot of challenging obstacles in his life from raising his daughter on his own, to building a successful business, even being the only viable donor that could save his brother’s life. Knowing this about his brother and knowing that he was going to die, Jake asked him to look after the love of his life. Now Luke is torn between the promise he made to his brother and the pull of something he’s never known before.

“Promise me, I need to hear you say it, Luke.”
Luke swallowed. “I promise I’ll take care of Cara, you don’t have to worry about her.” A tear slipped down his cheek as he finished his vow to his little brother.
Jake smiled slightly and closed his eyes. “I could always count on you.”

Cara Sloane is struggling with the loss of her first love and the power of addiction. Jake had been her rock for so long, with him gone she realizes how broken she is. She doesn’t want to feel anything, least of all the emptiness in her heart.

“I know you’re at peace and I should be thankful for that, but I can’t be. I never realized what a selfish person I was. You were suffering and all I could do was pray for you not to leave me.”

A tragic accident leaves Luke and his family pleading with Cara to change the course of her life. Can Cara face her demons and learn there is life after Jake? Can she learn that she can hold onto to the beautiful memories they made together and still live her life?

“I don’t want to fix her because she’s broken.” He said with his own voice sounding a bit broken. “I want to help her because losing her too isn’t an option.”
Individually they try to heal, together they wonder if they can fit the pieces of their broken lives.

“Dance with me.” He repeated and held out his hand to her.
She laughed. “Luke, you don’t dance.”
“You’re right, I don’t.” He held her gaze, giving her his best charming smile.
“Dance with me Spunky.”
“But…” She stopped, curiosity getting the best of her, she placed her hand in his. “You don’t have to dance with me, Luke.” He ignored her and listened for it, waited for it. The beat started, the music making those who didn’t dance instantly want to. Bailando. That was the name of the Spanish flirty music that filtered the tent. Cara bit her lip as the rhythm of the music overcame her, suddenly she felt the overwhelming urge to let go and just dance with him. She looked at Luke. It wasn’t a slow song, poor guy, he’d do anything to make her smile.
She looked around and noticed they were alone on the dance floor and all eyes were on them. She could feel the stares as she stood still for a moment and just watched him. He placed one hand on her hip, his fingers digging in his eyes were directly on hers as he took one of her hands, bringing it around his neck. She couldn’t tear her eyes from his, noticing that there was something lurking in the depths of those dark brown eyes, something she had never seen before. He took her free hand in his and nudged her feet apart with his.
Strangely, she didn’t know what to do with herself she had been dancing for years but always had taken her lead from Jake. They hadn’t been a couple when they went dancing either, it was just something they did and they did it well. She felt Luke’s leg slide between hers, tried her best to focus, to listen to the music and will her feet to move, but it was Luke who moved first. He gripped her hip tighter and then blew her hair away from her ear as he dipped his head.
“Can’t do it all by myself, Spunky.” He whispered huskily. “Move those hips of yours. Show me what they can do…” Oh my God! Cara felt her cheeks redden and then she was spun under his arm and forced to abide by his demand. Her hips sashayed from side to side as she closed in on him. He moved fluidly, his feet gliding around the wooden floor effortlessly. It was natural or so it seemed to her, as he brought her closer. She tried to focus on the words of the song, finding it damn near impossible. Enrique Inglesias was singing that he couldn’t wait any longer. And by the looks of it, neither could Luke. He spun her under their arms, once, twice, three times before bringing her body close to his. His hips rotated and he thrust them into hers. He was all hard lines and the hardest part of him was pressed against her thigh.
She swallowed and peered at him from under the fringe of her lashes. She bit down on her lip and tried to block out the stares that seemed to be burning right through her. She grabbed onto the tie that hung loosely around his neck and began to move her hips slowly, tantalizingly to the beat of the music. She heard the sharp intake of breath he took and then she turned around, still holding onto his tie as she continued to tease him with her hips. Forgetting herself for a moment and just enjoying him she ground her ass into his crotch, feeling his every desire press against her.
That perfect ass dug right into him, fitting against him perfectly. He forgot about counting steps and just held onto her hips, letting her curves be his guide and together they moved to the sultry beat. He wasn’t a dancer. He may never dance again, but the dance that he was doing with Cara, would be burned into his memory.

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.
