Kissing Jenna (Big Sky 2)

But that worry disappears when I reach the top of the stairs and find Christian sitting on the king bed in the loft, looking at his cell phone.

“Good morning.”

He looks up, and his eyes warm as he takes me in from head to toe.

“Good morning,” he says and accepts the cup I pass him.

“I don’t know how you take your coffee, so I just made it the way I take it.”

He takes a sip and then smiles. “Sugary.”

“Oh, yeah.”

He reads the mug. Blow me I’m hot.

“I mean, you are hot.”

He laughs and sets his coffee aside. “Let me see yours.”

I oblige him.

I do my own stunts.

“I even climb ladders,” I confirm and earn a laugh from the sexiest man I think I’ve ever seen.

Ever.

Before I can take another sip, he takes my mug and sets it next to his, then tumbles me back onto the bed.

“We’re awake too early,” he says and pulls me against him.

“Don’t you have to go ski?”

“Nope.” He grins. “Everyone needs a day off now and again. Let’s go get breakfast. It’s early enough to beat the crowds.”

I think it over, juggling my day. “I have to go to town anyway to check on the house.”

“And you have to eat,” he reminds me.

“Yes. I’m feeling particularly hungry this morning.”

“You burned quite a few calories last night.” He shifts, tucking me under him and pinning my hands over my head. He’s stretched out above me, and his body is long and lean in the early morning light just beginning to come through the windows.

“Are we about to burn a few more?”

His lips twitch as he nestles his way between my legs. I’m already turned on.

I’m permanently aroused when I’m with him.

My hands are suddenly free as he dives for the bedside table and returns with a condom. Once he’s taken care of that little detail, he covers me once more, but I’m able to touch him now, and I can’t keep my hands off of him.

“I could become addicted to you,” he says as he slips inside me and immediately begins to move in a steady, quick rhythm. “The sounds you make, the way you grip my dick like a damn vise.”

I press on his shoulder, and he lets me flip us over so I can ride him, bracing my hands on his chest.

He grips my hips, his fingertips biting into my ass. It’s fucking delicious.

I ride us both into a frenzy, and just as we both come, he sits up, wraps his arms around me, and kisses me like his life depends on it.

It’s the most intense sex I’ve ever had in my life.

Finally, when we’re able to talk, he says, “I’m so hungry.”

I grin. “Let’s get ready and go get some food.”

“Excellent plan.”

“It looks like the guys did a good job,” I say an hour later as we walk through my house. “The water’s gone, and they said they replaced the pipe.”

“Is there damage?” he asks.

“Yeah, I have some drywall to replace, and I’ve got my fingers crossed that the floor will be okay once it dries. It’s original to the house, so I’d like to keep it if at all possible.”

“I really like your house,” he says as he walks around the kitchen.

“I’m sure it’s much smaller than what you’re used to.”

“It’s smaller, but it’s beautiful.” He shrugs. “I’m only one person. Why do I need a twelve-thousand-square-foot house?”

“Your house is twelve-thousand square feet? Jesus, this one is eighteen hundred.”

“It’s pretty ridiculous,” he says with a nod. “But I have to invest somewhere, and real estate is usually a sure bet.”

“Very true, and exactly why I started this business. I had some inheritance and wanted to do something that would make me money. Real estate in Cunningham Falls is expensive, and only on the rise because of the number of celebrities we have here. It’s quickly becoming another Vail or Breckenridge.”

“Really?” He leans on the countertop and crosses his arms over his chest.

“Oh, yeah. We have a few locals who went on to be celebrities. Joslyn Meyers is one.”

“I’ve met her,” he says with a nod. “She seems nice.”

“She was a little younger than me, but I know her family. She’s very sweet and super successful. Oh, and the football player Tucker McCloud is from here.”

“So, Cunningham Falls is no stranger to the rich and famous.”

“No.” I smile. “We’re tucked away and still off the map enough that many celebrities like to come here for vacation.”

“I can see that. It’s one of the reasons that Nina chose this resort for me.” He glances over my shoulder and smiles. “I have to know what’s up with the funny mugs.”

“It’s a joke.” I turn to look at all of my mugs sitting in the glass cabinet. “People give them to me all the time. I’ve never been a morning person, and I have to say, these mugs make me smile and less grouchy in the morning. But I’ve accumulated so many, I can’t keep them all here, so I started stocking them in my rentals.”
