“Me either.” I could feel the tilt of his lips against mine as we continued to enjoy each other. “I want this to last as long as possible.”
“We have all night,” he said, the dominance in his voice sending shivers through me.
Five minutes passed as we toyed with each other, my longing to connect with him only intensifying. While I loved kissing him, learning what he liked, I wanted more, so I tugged at the waistband of his gray sweatpants and slipped my hand behind the fabric. His appreciative groans of encouragement had me wrapping my fingers around his girth.
“Keep doing that, and I’m going to fuck you right here.”
“Promise?” I asked, gently squeezing him.
“What are you doing to me?”
He’d asked the same question moments earlier, and the way he formed his words made me believe he wasn’t strictly referring to our current circumstance but instead to something more coded.
Jackson jerked his hips back, but I had a hold of him. He smirked and moved once more. That time I let him go, snapping his waistband as I removed my hand.
I gently pushed him back and hopped off the countertop. “You should go get the condom.”
“Okay.” He snatched my hand and led me toward the door. “But you’re coming with me. I’m not wasting another second.”
Once we entered his apartment, we moved toward his bedroom. I barely had time to look around before he removed his shirt and tossed it to the ground. Then he rid me of my shorts and T-shirt, leaving me as naked as the day he unexpectedly showed up in my bathroom. Only this time, I wasn’t shocked or shy.
He looked at me like he was seeing me for the first time, and every cell in my being sprang to life. The warmth between my legs spread through my entire body, and all I wanted to do was touch him.
My eyes darted to the large outline of his arousal pushing against the fabric of his sweatpants. He briefly followed myeyeline, his seductive smirk fueling the ache that threatened to pull me under.
Jackson took a step toward me, his eyes pinned to mine, a primal need radiating from their depths. I was his prey, and I’d never been so excited to be consumed.
“One more chance, Sophie. Are you sure you want this?” His lids were heavy with the question, and there was only one answer resting on my lips.
“Absolutely.”
“Good.” He pointed toward the bed. “Get on the bed.”
The softness of his comforter caressed my skin as I watched him remove the last piece of his clothing. I’d seen him naked before, but this time I would enjoy every inch of him.
He reached into his bedside drawer and pulled out a condom, clutching it in his hand as he approached.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said as the mattress dipped with his weight. “I’ve thought about this more times than I want to admit.”
“Me too,” I confessed.
He knelt in front of me and held up the torn wrapper. “Do you want to do the honors?”
I didn’t have any experience in using condoms. Mitch had been the only man I’d ever slept with, and he never wanted to use them, which forced me to go on the pill. I’d gone off birth control one week before I got pregnant because I couldn’t deal with the side effects any longer.
Refusing to dwell in the past, I focused on Jackson and reveled in what was about to happen between us.
“I’d rather watch you do it,” I said, hoping he didn’t notice my sudden bout of nerves.
“Works for me.” A smile tickled the edges of his lips, and I swore I’d never tire of seeing this look on his face.
Once he’d sheathed himself, he nudged my legs further apart and nestled between them. He traced my excitement, his eyes alight with longing right before he dipped a finger inside me. No words were exchanged as he worked me into a fever, the way he teased me the most delicious torment.
“I love how responsive you are,” he said, the huskiness of his voice driving me wilder.
He leaned down and stole my moans with his kiss, exploring my mouth and stealing my breath for his own. He pressed his thumb against my clit, and I writhed beneath him. He applied more pressure before letting up, the whisper of his touch pushing me closer.
“Jackson,” I whispered, drawing out his name as I bucked my hips. “That feels so good.”
