“No buts.” She released him and framed his face with both hands. “I’m not asking for forever here.” She leaned up and kissed him again. “All I’m asking for is this.” She kissed his strong jaw. “Us.” A small kiss to his chin. “Tonight.”
Olivia held her breath, praying he didn’t say no. When she looked into his eyes, heavy-lidded with arousal, she could see his resolve crumbling.
Jake gently palmed her face with both hands. “I don’t want to hurt you, sweetheart. The last fucking thing Ieverwant to do is hurt you.”
“You won’t hurt me, Jake,” one of her hands caressed his rugged cheek. “Please. If you want me like you say you do, then give me something good to take away from all of this.”
****
Jake had tried. He’dreallytried to do the right thing and back off, but he was no saint. Olivia was lying next to him in that unbelievably sexy gown, practically begging him to make love to her. Like hell, she’d ever have to beg him for anything.
“I’ve wanted you for so long, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t,” he confessed. “You have no idea how hard it’s been not to touch you this way. To not be with you.”
He ground his hips against her thigh, his swollen cock painfully hard. With one finger, he traced her jawline. “So many nights I’d lie awake, wondering what it would be like to be inside you. I couldn’t tell you the number of times I’ve used my own fist while imagining it wasyoutouching me. So, hell yeah, baby. I want you. Don’t ever doubt that for a second.”
The admission left him shaking. Olivia looked up at him with widened eyes, his words leaving her a little bit shocked...and a whole lot turned on.
Licking her lips, she whispered, “Then take me, Jake.”
The final thread in his control broke loose. This time, when he kissed her, he wasn’t gentle. Jake slammed his mouth against hers, his hand moving down along the outside of her leg.
He grabbed the back of her knee, pulled it up, and slid his fingers beneath the gown’s lace trim. His hand continued its journey upward, caressing the soft, smooth skin of her outer thigh. When he reached her hip, Olivia opened her leg wider, his fingertips touching the lace at the edge of her panties.
Jake covered her mound, and she inhaled sharply. When he felt her core’s wet heat, his cock leapt beneath his boxers.Holy fuck. She was soaked clear-through.
He swallowed her moan and her hips lifted, pressing herself harder against his hand. Jake prayed for self-control. His dick was already so full and hard, it took everything he had not to tear the tiny scrap of lace away and start pounding into her until he found relief.
Not that Jake was opposed to getting a little rough in bed. Just not tonight. This was their first time together, and he was determined to make it as good for her as he could.
He’d go slow and gentle...even if it killed him. Which, he was beginning to think, was an actual possibility.
Understanding her need for more, Jake used his middle finger to slip beneath the silky fabric. He growled in appreciation when he found smooth,bareskin. His finger ran the length of her wet slit before slowly easing into her core.
“Jake!”
Hearing her gasp his name like that was the sexiest fucking sound he’d ever heard. Between that and the way her body was clenching down on his finger, Jake was dangerously close to complete and total embarrassment.
His cock jumped against his lower belly again, more than ready to feel her tight, slick heat. Once that happened, Jake knew he’d never want to leave.
Moving in slow, easy thrusts, he pushed his finger in and out of her body.In. Out. In. Out.The tiny mewling sounds coming from the back of Olivia’s throat told him she liked what he was doing.
Wanting to give her more, Jake added a second finger. She cried out, and he could actually feel how close she was.Jesus.He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Olivia lost in the throes of passion was truly a sight to behold. Jake hadn’t even gotten inside her yet, and this was already the most memorable sexual experience of his life.
No other woman had ever affected him this way. It made sense, though. This wasn’t just any woman. Unlike the others from his past, what was happening between him and Liv was anything but casual.
Jake withdrew his hand and brought himself to his knees. The sound of protest coming from Olivia made him smile. She was already flushed, her eyelids heavy with unadulterated passion. She was absolutely stunning.
“Don’t worry, baby,” he leaned down to give her a quick kiss. “We’re just getting started.” Reaching down with both hands, he lifted the hem of her gown. “As beautiful as you look in this, it needs to go.”
She gave him a sly smile and together, they worked the material up and over her head. Jake let it fall from his grasp, not caring where it landed. When he looked back at her, his heart lodged itself in his throat.
Olivia was lying before him, wearing nothing but those black panties. Her hair was splayed out onto the mattress, her gorgeous body on display...and she was offering herself to him. He felt like the luckiest bastard in the world.
Jake’s gaze dropped to her perfect breasts. He’d seen them in the cave, but they’d both been so consumed with lust, he hadn’t been able to truly appreciate their beauty. He studied the right one, then the left.
His gut clinched when he noticed the bruises that had been hidden before. Carefully, he reached down and traced the blue marks on her delicate skin. Jake felt sick to his stomach when he realized what they were from.
