“You may not have enough for the bag and a pair of shoes,” I pointed out.

“Depends on the shoes.” She swiped her phone and showed me a pair of silver heels. “These Jimmy Choos are only eighteen hundred.” She sighed. “I should have enough left over for a scarf for my mother, a leather watch band for my dad, and some earrings for Sofia.” She showed me photos.

“You planned this all out?” I asked, handing her back her phone.

“Yup.”

“What about me?” I leaned in closer and whispered against her neck, “What do you have planned for me?” I felt her vibrate under my touch.

“Anything you want,” she purred.

Chapter 15

Nova

It was impossible to stop my body from wanting Jax once he got me started. My entire being vibrated with want.

Somehow we made it back up to our room. When the door closed behind us, his mouth covered mine as my back hit the closed door.

I’ve never needed anything as much as I needed him at that very moment.

My leg wrapped around his hip while his hand dove under my silk panties, burying deep inside me until I cried out, soaking his fingers as he slipped in and out of me. His mouth didn’t waver from mine until he felt me convulse. Then he dipped his head, lowering the strap of my dress until my left breast was exposed.

He took my nipple into his mouth and circled it with the tip of his tongue. My entire body shook. My fingers dipped into his hair, holding, pulling, as I demanded more from him.

“I need…” I started and then cried out again as his fingertip played over my clit.

“Tell me,” he growled against my skin.

“Jax,” I sighed, tossing my head from side to side.

Then he was gone. I swayed once, and his hands returned to my hips. He hiked my skirt up and knelt in front of me.

“I need to taste you. God,” he said after he ripped my panties aside and ran the tip of his tongue over my lips. “The sweetest honey,” he said before lapping at me. I held onto him, afraid I’d melt right there.

His fingers and tongue slowly rolled over my skin, dipping inside, pulling me deeper as I built up to another release.

This time when I cried out, he was there, sucking, lapping me up.

I vaguely remember him gently removing my dress, hanging it back on the hanger, then slipping off my heels and carrying me to the bed.

When he covered me and sank deep inside me, my eyes flew open.

“Nova.” His eyes were on mine. “I love you. You are the only one who can make me feel like this.” He held himself still inside me. “You’re the only one who has ever made me feel this. Could ever.” He started to move slowly.

“I love you, Jax,” I said, holding onto him. “I always have,” I admitted, feeling more relieved than I had ever felt.

He stilled and smiled down at me. I wanted to slap him, to force him to keep moving. Instead, I dug my nails into his shoulders, pulling him down until his lips covered mine.

“Don’t make it weird.” I laughed as he started moving again. “Just make love to me all night.”

“I promise,” he said against my skin.

The sunlight woke me hours later. We’d forgotten to close our curtains. I groaned. “Turn it off.”

Jax chuckled. “It’s the sun. No one has a switch for it.”

I rolled over and came face to face with him and smiled. “I won fifteen grand last night.”
