Okay, there wasn’t really a zap. But she definitely felt the most delicious electric sensation that started right where their lips met and drifted out from there, warming her whole body. The feeling was so amazing, she moaned.
The sound was like a dam breaking, and suddenly they were both kissing each other like crazy. Her tongue slipped into his mouth, and his was right there to greet it. Tangling, teasing, exploring. The taste of his mouth was impossible to describe, but she found herself wanting more of it.
She felt his strong fingers in her hair, felt them tugging and tipping her head to the side, making it easier for Jayden to devour her. Selena couldn’t remember anybody ever tugging her hair before. Not since grade school anyway, and that situation had been completely different. Then, she’d hated it. Now, she absolutely loved it.
Jayden kept kissing her even as his free hand began to roam slowly down her back and across her hip until it reached her upper thigh. Her bare upper thigh. That’s when Selena realized that in her zeal to climb aboard the Jayden Brooks love train, the hem of her already short dress had gotten shoved up nearly to her waist. And when that big, warm hand of his made contact with the hypersensitive skin at the top of her leg just inches from the tiny pair of panties she wore, her heart began to beat like a drum, and she decided there was a very good chance she’d be getting him naked tonight.
Selena broke the kiss and sat back a little, needing to breathe. But more importantly, needing to get her mouth on other parts of this gorgeous man. The move pressed her panty-covered crotch firmly against the hard-on in his jeans, yanking something that sounded suspiciously like a hungry growl from her throat. Had she really growled? Who the hell did that while making out…besides her apparently? She was absolutely sure she’d never growled in her life.
She felt Jayden’s hand slip out of her hair, settling on her other bare thigh, his firm grip gently rocking her back and forth against him. Her whole body was pulsing like mad, but the throb between her legs was at a completely different level. She thought she might come simply from sitting on his lap. That shouldn’t be possible. But then again, she’d never gotten this crazy hot before.
“You are one beautiful woman,” Jayden breathed.
His eyes reflected the lights from the tree like nothing she’d ever seen, and the adoring expression on his face made her catch her breath. She couldn’t remember a man ever making her feel so sexy before.
She leaned forward slowly, her lips coming down for a moment on his before skirting to the side and tracing little kisses along his jawline to his ear. She buried her face there, nipping and biting his earlobe before doing the same along his neck. She was almost overwhelmed at how good he smelled…and tasted. She couldn’t get enough of him. It was like she wanted to eat him up.
As she nibbled, her fingers found the buttons of his shirt, undoing them from the top down until she’d exposed a good expanse of smooth muscular chest and broad shoulders. She couldn’t believe how aggressive she was, but she didn’t want to stop.
She wanted more…a lot more.
Selena pulled back again to look at him, swearing that the dim living room had brightened around her as she gazed down at all that manly yumminess. But she ignored that impossibility, instead focusing on the feel of his thick pecs and traps under her fingertips as they skimmed here, there, and everywhere.
She nestled against the junction of his neck and shoulder again, inhaling his scent as his fingers slid further under her dress, encircling her waist and moving her against him. She licked and nipped at his neck, excited beyond belief.
Jayden groaned, a sound of such pure pleasure that Selena was nearly undone. All she was doing was sitting on his lap, but she knew without a doubt that it was enough to make him so aroused, he was practically losing his mind.
She had no idea why she did it, but right then, she wanted Jayden more than she’d ever wanted another man before in her life, in a way that was so completely different, she couldn’t come close to explaining, so she trailed kisses down to his big muscular shoulder…and bit him.
The sensation was…orgasmic. Her entire body lit on fire, and she swore she was experiencing some kind of climax, just not the one she was used to. It was amazing nonetheless, and she didn’t want it to stop.
Then sensations began to filter through her addled mind, distracting her from the pleasure of the moment. She felt Jayden tense, like he was having a climax of his own. She was thrilled at the idea until a metallic taste hit her tongue. The excitement she’d been feeling disappeared in a fuzzy poof.
Blood.
Selena pulled back and looked down in horror, her eyes going wide at the sight of four small puncture wounds on his shoulder, right where his trap muscles met his thick neck. While they were bad enough, it was the blood that really freaked her out.
“Oh, God! I bit you!” she cried. “You’re bleeding!”
She tried to climb off his lap, but Jayden’s hands tightened around her waist, keeping her right where she was. “Relax,” he said softly, his sensuous mouth curving into a smile. “It’s not a big deal.”
She blinked. “Not a big deal? Jayden, you’re bleeding!”
“I know,” he said. “Do you see me complaining? No. You got a little frisky and nipped me. It’s just a little scratch.” He ran his thumb over the wounds. “See?”
Selena looked down in amazement. The four puncture wounds weren’t bleeding anymore, which was hard to believe. There’d been a lot of blood a few seconds ago. She watched the rivulets now drying on his neck and chest. The wounds were definitely still there, but they didn’t look nearly as bad. She’d bitten him hard enough to make him bleed and barely even remembered doing it. That fact scared her more than anything else.
That was the moment she realized that all the amazing pleasure that had been throbbing through her earlier had ebbed drastically. Now, all she felt was the satiated feeling she got after really good sex, which was bizarre beyond words. It was almost like she’d gotten off on biting him.
Jayden stood, picking her up at the same time. She instinctively wrapped herself around him, her arms going around his neck and legs clamping around his waist. His big hands slipped under her butt, supporting her easily. While she might have grabbed onto him out of pure instinct simply so she wouldn’t fall, she couldn’t ignore the fact that this position was seriously sexy.
He carried her to the kitchen, then grabbed a paper towel off the rack and soaked it under the faucet before setting her on the counter and handing it to her. She took the towel without thinking and cleaned the blood off. When it was gone, she allowed herself to breathe again. Maybe the wounds weren’t nearly as bad as she’d thought.
“You okay?” he whispered.
His breath was warm on her face as she leaned in close to him. He was standing between her legs, her ankles still locked behind his back.
“Yeah,” she said. “Sorry about biting you.”
