A Firefighter in Her Stocking - Page 59

Still smiling, she touched his face in what he could only call a caress.

“I know, Jude. That’s why you’re here.”

Making sure she was really as ready as he believed she was, he groaned at the wet heat his fingers encountered. “Sarah.”

She strained upward, cradled his face, and kissed him, deep, intense, fully. He kissed her back, catching her cry when he pushed inside with more restraint than he’d have believed he had, almost bursting from the intensity of what was happening between the two of them.

Sex had never been like this.

This giving, this taking, this explosion from the inside out. Physical explosion. Mental explosion. Emotional explosion.

Afterward, as he cradled her in his arms, he was pretty sure there was nothing he wouldn’t do for this woman, nothing he wouldn’t give her.

She raised a sleepy head to smile. “That was worth waiting for.”

Loving how she was looking at him with such happiness, he kissed her forehead. “Agreed. Get some rest because if you’re able, I’m going to want you again. Soon.”

Her eyes widened. “Really?”

“Is that your new favorite word?”

“Sex is my new favorite word,” she corrected, then shook her head. “No, not sex. Orgasm. Orgasms is my new favorite word. Orgasms because that’s what you did.”

Jude swallowed, thinking she’d better be quiet because he was starting to stir in places that should be content for some time after what they’d done not so long before.

Tilting her head, she gave him a saucy little grin. “Do you think you can do that every time or was it a one-time deal because it was my first time?”

“Only one way to know for sure.”

“That’s what I figured,” she mused, running her fingertip down his chest and into the groove along the center of his abdominal muscles, his ab muscles that had tightened into hard knots. Every muscle in him was hard. He was hard.

“You shouldn’t do that,” he warned. “You can’t.”

Her eyes widened in alarm. “I can’t?”

“Not this quick.”

She frowned. “Why not?”

“You’ll be sore tomorrow,” he reminded her.

“Is that all?” She shrugged her slim shoulders. “Then I guess you better make it worth it tonight.”

Jude did.

“Charles and Grace got engaged!” Sarah gushed out the moment she burst into Jude’s kitchen, her hair still wet from the bath he’d insisted she take while he made them breakfast.

He winced. He should have known Sarah would hear the news about Charles proposing to Grace on a sleigh ride in Central Park. Clearly, avoiding conversations about his cousin was going to be difficult over the next few days.

“I heard.”

“Isn’t it wonderful?” Sarah rushed on, her smile bright. “He sounded so happy when he called a few minutes ago.”

Charles had called to tell her?

“That’s nice.”
