Tilting his hips for a better angle, he worked her clit harder. Thrust into her faster. And when she cried out his name again, Emmett couldn’t help but smile.
Janie’s head pressed back against the bed as her body flooded his with a rush of wet heat. She came hard, her orgasm creating waves of unending pleasure that sent him falling over the chasm along with her.
Emmett’s entire form grew tense, every muscle in his body seizing with several uneven, jerky thrusts. A guttural groan echoed around them as he found his release.
He came harder and longer than ever before in themost powerful climax of his existence. After the pulsating stopped, the two remained perfectly still, with him still seated fully inside her welcoming heat.
“Wow.”
The woman’s one-word review made Emmett smile.
“My thoughts exactly.” He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. And then, because he felt the need to ask, he whispered an added, “You good?”
Janie’s lashes fluttered as her blue eyes found his through the shadows. “Oh, I’m better than good.” She leaned up to kiss him again.
He wasn’t sure how long the kiss lasted, and frankly he didn’t care. If he could, Emmett would stay here forever. Inside her. Kissing her. Holding her body to his.
But since reality wouldn’t allow it, he gently eased himself from her core. “Be right back.” He gave her a quick peck on the tip of her adorable nose.
Emmett rose from the bed, his legs quivering beneath him as he walked unabashedly to the bathroom. After taking care of the condom and cleaning himself up, he returned to find her in the exact same spot as when he’d left.
Janie sat up and slid from the bed. “Sorry. I’ll get out of here so you can get some sleep.”
“Stay.”
The request was much gruffer than he’d intended, but he couldn’t bring himself to care.
“You don’t have to do that, Emmett.” Her beautiful, sated gaze slid to his once more. “What happened between us just now . . .I didn’t go into it with any expectations.”
“Neither did I.” He moved toward her. “But I want you to stay.”
“Are you sure?”
Emmett closed the distance between them and pulled her naked form into his arms. With her breasts pressed against his chest, and his half-hard dick pushing against her lower belly, he cupped one side of her beautifully flushed face.
“I’m sure.” His mouth found hers before pulling his lips away. “Stay with me, sweetheart,” he whispered the request again.
Janie put him out of his misery with a soft-spoken, “Okay.”
A moment later, they were nestled under the covers, their bodies wrapped in a warm embrace.
When he’d made the decision earlier to invite her into his bed, Emmett hadn’t let himself consider the after. Part of him believed sleeping with her once would clear the urge from his system. He should have known it wouldn’t be that easy.
They’d just made love for the first time, and his dick was already preparing itself to take her delectable body again. Once wasn’t enough. When it came to this woman, he didn’t think he’deverget enough.
I need more.
He needed her. Over and over, as many times as she would allow.
There’d never be another woman who made him feel the way he did in that moment. Emmett was as certain of that fact as he was his own name. And for the first time in his life, he felt as though he were at peace.
His eyes closed, and as he lay in the quiet of hisroom, Emmett accepted that Janie was his. She was his, and for as long as she wanted, he was more than willing to be hers.
The realization made his need to find those trying to kill her that much stronger. But he would find them, and he would end the threats to Janie’s life.
Even if he had to give up his own in the process.
