Jesse losthimself in the kiss. In Aspen’s warmth…her softness.
She loved him. Hearing her say those words was the closest he’d ever come tothatfeeling. The one where everything felt so right and perfect, he knew if he even blinked everything would be different.
He slid his hand up her side, gently pushing her shirt up as he went. She lifted her arms, and he tugged the top over her head and dropped it to the floor.
His was next. Then her mouth returned to his, but this time her lips parted, and he slipped his tongue inside, touching hers. Tasting her.
He cupped her breast, his thumb finding her hard nipple through the material and swiping it back and forth.
She sighed, her head tilting back, and the sound weaved its way inside him.
God, he loved every sound she made.
He trailed kisses down her neck, then chest. Her skin was warm and soft, and it called to him. Made him want to touch and taste every inch of her. Learn her…memorize her body.
He wrapped his lips around her nipple, only the thin material of her bra separating them, and sucked. The sound that tore from her lips was something between a cry and a whimper, and he wanted to bottle it up.
He switched to her other breast, flicking the tight bud with his tongue, rolling it in a circle. But soon, it wasn’t enough. He needed more of her. He needed skin against skin.
He reached behind her and unclasped her bra. It dropped to the floor with a delicate thud, and the second her breasts were free, he was cupping them. Holding their soft weight in the palms of his hands.
“You drive me crazy, Aspen.” He lowered his head, wrapped his lips around her nipple and swirled that beautiful bud with his tongue.
She grabbed strands of his hair and pulled as she groaned. “God, Jesse.”
He grazed her nipple with his teeth, blood roaring through his veins at those cries she made. He fucking burned for her.
He turned them and laid her on the couch. He held her gaze, getting lost in her blue eyes as he removed her jeans and panties. Then she was naked beneath him.
“Perfect,” he whispered, unable to keep the word inside. “You’re perfect.”
He ran kisses down her neck, her chest, her stomach, before dipping his head between her legs. She went quiet under him. Then he ran his tongue over her clit. Her entire body jolted, and he gripped her hips, steadying her. He licked her again, but this time in a circular motion.
Every swipe made her body tremble beneath him, had her releasing sweet moans into the room.
He wrapped his mouth around her and sucked.
He wanted more tastes. To take everything she had to give. But she gripped his shoulders and tugged. “Jesse…please.”
He kissed a path back up her stomach, then wrapped his lips around her nipple and sucked before returning to her mouth.
Almost desperately, she reached between them and unzipped his pants. He pushed them and his briefs down, then stood to shove them off completely. The second he was back with her, she reached between them and wrapped her fingers around his cock.
His entire body froze. He went so fucking still, he wasn’t even sure he was breathing.
She slid her hand up and circled her thumb over his tip. He buried his head in the crook of her neck. He was so hard it hurt.Jesus.
She explored him, changing the pace of her strokes, her hold on him growing firmer. It was fucking torture. When he couldn’t take it anymore, he gripped her wrist.
“Aspen…I need you.”
“You have me.”
He reached down to his pants on the floor and pulled his wallet from the pocket. He took out the condom he’d only recently started keeping there and tore it open with his teeth. The second it was on, he positioned himself at her entrance. But he didn’t move right away.
Instead, he got lost in her eyes again. Eyes that would forever see into his soul. “Say it one more time.”
She cupped both his cheeks. “I love you, Jesse.”
