Chapter Thirteen
Sky lay still and frozenunder the covers.She was trying to control the nerves that raced through her and caused her teeth to chatter.She tensed when the door opened, and Jared walked in, closing the door behind him.She watched as he strode to the bathroom without glancing her way.
She knew she only had a few minutes before he came to bed, so she used the time to take deep breaths and try to settle her heart.Her eyes scanned the room.She had made sure the curtains were closed to keep out the light of dusk that still kept the room lightened.She wanted it as dark as possible.
Sky drew in a startled breath when the bathroom door opened, and Jared walked through with just his boxers on.Her eyes jerked closed.She tried to calm the pounding of her heart at the sight of so much of his skin showing.
“Sky, take off the nightgown.”
Her eyes jerked open and then closed again when he stripped his boxers from his hips and threw them to the floor.
“What ...why?”
Sky tightened her hold on the blanket when the bedside lamp was turned on, and the covers slid from her grasp.“Wait, Jared, can’t you turn off the light?”she asked frantically.
Jared yanked a little harder until the covers were at the bottom of the bed.His hand went instantly to her long nightgown and started to pull it up.
“No, Baby.I want to see you.See your expressions to help me determine if I’m hurting you at any point.”
“But I’ll just tell you,” she stammered.
Jared pulled it over her head and threw it to the floor.A feeling of panic overtook her as she was displayed in front of him.Her hands went to cover herself.
Jared shook his head as his gaze raked over her.“No.I don’t ever want to see you cover yourself in front of me.”
“But—”
“There are no ‘buts.’I’m your husband, and I have every right to see what’s mine.Now put your hands down by your side.”
Sky moaned her distress but did what she was told.She closed her eyes to prevent herself from seeing his expression of distaste or worse.Her body jerked, but she didn’t make a sound as her panties were pulled down and off her.
Jared watched how uncomfortable he was making her and wanted to stop, but she needed to get used to his eyes, hands, mouth, and body on her.He lay down and levered himself up on his elbow.
“Open your eyes and look at me.”
After a slight hesitation, Sky squinted open her eyes.A foreign feeling of heat ran through her at the look in his eyes and the hand he pressed against her stomach.
“Everything’s going to be okay.”
He said the words so gently it brought tears to her eyes and made her relax against the mattress.

Jared bent and lightlystarted to kiss her forehead, cheeks, and chin before settling on her mouth.The kiss instantly raced out of control.He twisted his lips to delve into her mouth with his tongue, touching and tasting as much of her as possible.He moaned when her hands slid up his arm to circle his neck.He kept tasting her until she started moving restlessly against him.
He trailed his lips to her neck before he bit down.His heartbeat shuddered when she went wild under him.The more he kissed, licked, and nibbled on her, the more frantic she moved.God, had he ever gotten this response from any other woman?He was pushing her steadily toward orgasm with just his mouth on her neck.He wanted to keep her at a heightened level of need to make it easier for her to take him.
Jared raised his head.He wished he could have taken a picture of her right then.She was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.Her lips were swollen, red, and wet, and a flush of passion eclipsed her whole face and ran down her neck and chest.Her eyes showed a look of wonder that just about pushed him over the edge.
He slid his hand up and down her torso, cupping a breast for a moment before moving down and spearing his finger through her curls to delve into her.He gritted his teeth at the feel of her hot and wet pussy tightening on his finger as if to keep him in her.Jared thrust into her a few times before adding another finger.He wanted to stretch her as much as he could for his invasion.He continued to nibble on her neck as he pressed his thumb down on her clit and felt a fresh wave of moisture leak from her.
