She hadn’t realized she’d been making sounds. Lexi was so out of her mind with the sensations tightening her body, she was oblivious. Orgasm was close. It loomed bright, sparkling, and phantasmic. And she wanted it. Bad.
“Jax. ” She dropped her head back on his shoulder. “Can’t do this… Need more…”
“I know. ” He dotted a trail of kisses over her cheek, her eyelid, her temple. “But you feel so good. ”
Her mind wasn’t working. She couldn’t understand what he was trying to say. And he was moving again, his fingers searching until Lexi gritted her teeth and groaned. But the moment he’d found his mark, fireworks of pleasure shot through Lexi’s body. She dropped the hand around his neck to his forearm, digging her nails into his thick muscles.
He released his hold on her waist, added a magic amount of pressure to her clit, and murmured, “Rock yourself to heaven, baby. ”
Lexi couldn’t have held still even if she’d tried. Her hips lunged and rolled automatically, easily syncing with Jax’s slight movement. She braced herself with one hand flat on the door, the other on Jax’s arm.
The orgasm built from her center out, rolling through her pelvis, filling her belly. Rose through her chest and swelled in her throat until it tingled on the back of her tongue. “Oh, fuck…”
“Hard and fast, Lex. ” His voice was dark in her ear. His body wrapped around her. His hand drove her. And one of the last sensations that floated through Lexi’s mind was one of being completely taken over. Yet safe. Cared for.
The slightest change in his touch released a lightning-bolt orgasm, and the shaft of pleasure ripped through Lexi. She lost control of her body. Her muscles contracted, released, flexed. Sensation flooded her brain, wiping out all thought.
“That’s it. ” Jax’s murmur slipped in and mixed with all the excitement, his voice thick, darkly sexual. “Yeah. Soak it up, Lexi. ”
Her hand slipped off Jax’s arm, and she fell forward. But she didn’t go anywhere. Jax held her too tight to allow her to fall. But she groped for the door handle, the strength in her legs gone. Uncontrollable shivers racked her body. Cries and moans of delirium drifted from her throat.
Her mouth moved. Formed words. But nothing made sense. The words didn’t even sound like much to her own ears. She wanted to tell him how good she felt. How amazing he was. But it all came out as jumbled murmurs and whimpers of pleasure.
The orgasm’s intensity dimmed, but delicious aftershocks still occasionally shuddered through her body.
“I don’t have to see you,” he said, his own breaths fast now, “to know how fucking beautiful you are. ”
That sharpened her mind. A little. But Jax kept his hand between her legs, still and steady, almost as if he was holding the delicious feelings in. And they seemed to obey. Floating deep inside, easing her down from the peak gently, in decadent increments.
His head lay on her shoulder, his breath hot on her neck. “You’re amazing. ”
Oh, God no. He had that backward. But Lexi basked in his praise. No one had said that to her—regarding sex—in…what felt like forever. She had the urge to reach up and rake her fingers through his hair. Turn her head and kiss every inch of his face. But she couldn’t move.
“God damn, Jax,” Lexi finally whispered. “I don’t think I’ve ever come that hard. ”
A beat of silence hung before his serious, smooth voice slid in with, “I’m going to do it all again tonight” —another beat— “with my mouth. ” He pressed his lips to the space just below her ear, then whispered, “But when I’m inside you, you’re going to come so hard you scream. ”
Nine
Jax’s brain kept trying to slip out from under his control. And if that happened, he’d never get to work. Which, at this nearly perfect moment, wasn’t a hell of a lot of incentive to keep his mind corralled from the thought of throwing Lexi down on the couch, spreading her legs, and showing her just how much harder he could make her come. It would be easier now. The first orgasm was the hardest to get. Everything after that—cake.
And he would get downright pissed off if he thought too long about all he was missing by walking out on her now.
“Fucking jobs,” he muttered. “Mess up everything. ”
Lexi was tight. Hot. Dripping wet. So responsive to his every touch he’d be able to shoot the woman to the moon.
Tonight she wouldn’t be begging him to make her come.
Tonight she would be begging him to stop because she couldn’t take it anymore.
That was if he could last. He’d never had a problem before, but… He wasn’t sure if it was the darkness, the whole stranger thing, or the little surprises she kept throwing at him, but he was having a hell of a time holding back.
“Aren’t they all the same?”
Jax smiled, pretty sure Lexi was convinced not all orgasms were the same now.
She was so goddamned sweet she made him ache. And he had a whole new appreciation for Wes. Jax might even have a basic understanding about the elusive formula Wes swore by: cute plus sweet equaled great sex and happiness.
