“Pretty.” He touched her, a single finger stroked down her slit, searching her folds and she could hear the wet sounds of her pussy fill the room. “And so wet.”
“Jake.” His name came out a strangled plea and she cried out when he bent his head, lips latching about her clit. Exactly where she wanted him.
He licked and sucked, sunk first one, then two fingers deep inside her and pumped. She writhed beneath him, her hands clutching the comforter as he worked her into a frenzy. A frenzy that was about to come crashing down upon her at any second.
“Come for me,” he murmured against her as he licked her clit, his tongue circling again and again, playing with the swollen bit of flesh. “Come for me, Mia.”
As if his words were magic, her orgasm slammed into her. Her entire body shook with the force of it as a low keening sound escaped past her lips. His mouth softened though his fingers still pumped and he drank her climax, eased her through it until she slumped into the mattress a still-quivering mass of flesh.
“Oh, my God.” She blew out a harsh breath, pushed the hair out of her face. He came above her, a condom already in his hand and she watched in utter fascination as he sheathed himself.
He had a magnificent body. Solid muscle, golden smooth skin and those wide shoulders. Shoulders a girl could count on. A body a girl could lose herself in.
And a heart a girl wanted to capture and make hers. Forever.
“I love to watch you come,” he said, wrapping his hands around her hips and holding her tight. Preparing her for his entry. “I love to make you come.”
“I love it when you make me come.” She pressed her lips together for the briefest moment before she decided to go for it. “I love you.”
He paused, holding himself above her with straining arms. A frown curled his mouth downward and he looked as if he’d just been shell-shocked.
Maybe she should’ve never said it. Maybe she just made the biggest mistake of her life.
She hoped she wouldn’t regret it.
Jake blinked, his brain still absorbing what Mia said. He wasn’t even quite sure if he heard her right.
“What did you say?” He probably sounded like a complete ass but he had to make sure. They’d known each other for what, a week? It was kind of ridiculous she would say such a thing.
What was even more ridiculous? He was about to answer in kind.
Yeah, completely ridiculous. But there it was. A fact he couldn’t deny.
“Never mind.” She shifted beneath him and turned her head so he was staring at her cheek. He caught sight of her trembling lips, the agonized light in her eyes. Reaching for her, he cupped her cheek, forced her to look at him.
“Say it again.” His voice had lowered so that he could barely hear himself. His heart beat in quadruple time as he waited to hear those three words.
Shaking her head, she cast a tremulous smile. “It’s nothing.”
“Mia.” His fingers streaked down her soft cheek, across her plump lips. “I need to hear you say it again. Trust me.”
Her eyes widened the slightest bit, and she breathed deep. As if searching for courage. He could relate. “I—I love you. I know it sounds stupid and way too soon and you probably think I’ve lost my mind but…ever since I called you on my cell I’ve felt a connection to you. As if we were—”
“—meant to be together,” he finished for her.
She nodded, her eyes so wide he was afraid he might drown in them. “Exactly.”
He kissed her. He couldn’t help himself, couldn’t take seeing the scared expression on her face. She was afraid he would turn her down. That he would turn away her love.
Only a damned fool would turn her away. Yeah, it was probably too soon and they were rushing things but it felt so right, so good between them.
He wasn’t about to let her go.
“We’ve only known each other a short time,” he said when their lips parted and they needed to catch their breath. “But I feel like I’ve known you forever.”
Her hands tightened in his hair and she tugged him down for another quick kiss. “I feel the same way.”
“I’ve never said…that to another woman before. Besides those who’re related to me,” he admitted.
