“Oh, baby,” he murmured, finally breaking the kiss and pressing more little kisses over her cheeks and jaw, “You drive me wild.”
She loved the sound his voice. Fond. Intimate. Hoarse with passion. She was turned on again, pulsing with need as she rubbed herself against every part of his body she could touch.
She was shaking with it as he rolled on another condom and parted her thighs to make room for him. As soon as he slid himself home, she was fluttering all around him, moaning in helpless pleasure.
“Oh, fuck,” he gasped, holding himself very still. “Oh, fuck, you feel so good. Wrap your legs around me again.”
She barely had the coordination to comply, but she managed to get her legs hooked in the way he wanted. It was perfect—she could feel him so deeply, so intensely. She gasped and arched up, pleasure rippling through her that she couldn’t possibly control. Her hips were moving of their own accord.
“That’s right, baby,” he rasped, starting to thrust with the fast, hard rhythm she needed to feel. “Let yourself go. Don’t hold anything back.”
She couldn’t have held back, even if she’d wanted to. She was already making those same eager sounds and rocking her body to meet his primitive motion.
He was bracing himself above her, but she could still feel his heat, his weight, his intensity vibrating in the air between them. His hot eyes never looked away from her face. “Give me all of it, baby. I want everything from you.”
He was taking her almost roughly now, but she wanted it, needed it. Tried to take him as hard as he was taking her. She was too loud for a hotel, but she wasn’t embarrassed. She was barely conscious of it—knowing only that this was what she needed. Needed at her deepest core.
Jake. All he way. Just like this.
She was crying out when their frantic motion finally drove her to the peak. Then he was letting go too, his sound of release just as uninhibited as hers.
The pleasure rippled through her body—through his—for a long time after the first wave. They’d collapsed together, moaning and clinging to each other in the aftermath.
Finally, she heard him groan as he pulled his weight off her.
She didn’t want to let him go, and she kept clinging to him until she realized what she was doing.
“Let me just get the condom,” he said, heaving himself out of bed and limping to the bathroom.
He was completely naked, completely gorgeous. And, with a pang, she realized his knee had to still be hurting him.
She managed to find the energy to reach down to the floor and grab his t-shirt to pull on so she wasn’t completely naked.
She hadn’t pulled herself together by the time he returned, so she was in no state to find something reasonable to say or do—not after what had just happened between them.
“I don’t think I can move,” she mumbled, when he reached out for her.
“Me either.” There was a smile in his voice as he adjusted her body against his. “So let’s not.”
“Sounds good to me.”
He did manage to reached for the covers and pull them up over them.
Anne nestled against him, feeling safe and warm and fully satisfied.
She wondered if he could possibly feel the same way.
But she was too exhausted to reason it out, so instead she just fell asleep.
Five
Anne wouldn’t have expected to sleep deeply after something happening as monumental as having sex with Jake. She wouldn’t have expected to be able to sleep at all.
She did, though. She slept straight through until she was vaguely aware of Jake moving beside her. She was feeling cozy and clingy, so she tightened the arm that was draped over his stomach, afraid he was trying to get up.
He wasn’t, though. He must have just been readjusting because his arm tightened around her too.
“What time is it?” she mumbled, unable to even open her eyes and make sure it was still dark.
“Too early to get up.” She felt him stroking her hair and back. “Go back to sleep.”
“M’kay.” She pressed a little kiss on his chest, since she wasn’t awake enough to guard her actions.
She soon fell back to sleep completely, and she didn’t wake up until she rolled over and reached out for Jake instinctively but found herself alone in the bed.
