“Faster,” she ordered breathlessly. God love him, he obeyed.
He pushed his hips forward, thrusting faster. Harder. Soon, Jake was slamming into her with such force, her head would have hit the headboard had it not been for his hand serving as a protective barrier.
That same, exquisite pressure began to build, again. She’d barely made it through the first orgasm. Wasn’t sure she’d survive another.
As Jake continued pushing himself in and out of her body with magnificent power, Olivia knew she was about to find out.
Her legs shook as her pleasure grew more intense. Jake slid his hand beneath her hips and lifted her slightly, the new angle allowing his cock to press against her clit. It was all she needed.
Olivia soared, as wave after wave of sweet pleasure engulfed her. She nearly missed Jake’s release, which would have been an absolute travesty.
Throwing his head back, Jake closed his eyes. His body stiffened, the muscles in his neck and shoulders becoming tense and corded. He growled out her name as he gave one, final thrust. It was the most breathtaking scene she’d ever witnessed.
Watching him climax...seeing him achieve the ultimate physical pleasure with her—becauseof her—filled Olivia with such elation, it was almost too much to bear.
She quickly blinked back tears for fear he’d misunderstand them. She was a second too late.
Still inside her, Jake dropped himself onto his elbows to keep from crushing her. “Hey.” He spoke quickly between heaving breaths. “You okay? Did I hurt you?”
It took Olivia a second to find her voice. Lifting her hand, she ran her fingertips across his jaw. “No...exactopposite. That was...you made me feel...wow.”
She hoped he could decipher her babbling because, honest to God, she was physically incapable of speaking in complete sentences.
Olivia felt the tension in Jake’s shoulders ease just before an ear-to-ear grin spread across his face. “Yeah. That was definitelywow.”
He kissed her again before easing off her, separating them. Olivia immediately felt the loss to her bones, but knew he couldn’t stay in there forever. She smiled, imagining the possibility.
“Happy?” he asked, still grinning.
“Very.”
“Good,” he kissed her temple. “I’ll be right back.”
Jake rose from the bed and walked unabashedly to the bathroom, presumably to clean himself up. When he came back, he was carrying a wet washcloth with him.
Before she could tell him it wasn’t necessary, since he’d used the condom, he placed it between her legs, the warmth and his gentleness soothing.
When he was done, he tossed the cloth back through the bathroom doorway and lay down beside her. Pulling the covers up over them both, Jake positioned himself behind her, his arm encircling her waste. He then pulled her toward him until her back was flush with his front.
Kissing her temple again, he asked, “Any regrets?”
Is he serious?“Not one.” Olivia had never experience anything like what she’d just shared with Jake. “What about you?”
He turned her just enough to tip her chin up and press his lips to hers. She expected a short, chaste kiss, but he took it deeper. Longer. When he pulled back, she was surprised to see his eyes darkened with arousal again.
“That was the most incredible experience of my life.”
Damn, if she wasn’t fighting back tears, again. Despite her efforts, one escaped the corner of her eye. Jake kissed it away before finding her lips again. God, how she loved this man.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say them. Not yet. Everything was too raw. Too new.
She would tell him eventually. Olivia just wanted things to be a little more settled between them first.
When the kiss ended, Jake smiled and said, “We need to stop doing that or neither of us are going to get any sleep tonight. You’ll need your strength for tomorrow. It’s going to be a long day, between the transport back to the States and our debriefing with Ryker.”
A smidge of Olivia’s bliss rescinded as she thought of what her near future held. She imagined it wouldn’t be easy to officially arise from the dead.
She shoved those thoughts aside for now. Tonight was all about them. Everything else could wait.
