know how sailors are.”
    “Nothing exclusive.” Amber liquid swirled into her glass as he poured her another. “Sean cheated on you?”
    She pointed the remote and flipped on the TV. “Ding, ding. Next question.”
    “His loss, Angel.”
    Peri’s eyes dilated and welled with tears. “No one has ever called me angel.”
    He set her glass beside his, then gathered her in his arms.
    She melted against his chest.
    He stroked her back in small circles, loving the feel of her against him. He yearned to win her trust, but what did he have to offer?
    She latched around his neck, and leisurely threaded her fingers though his hair.
    After months without any loving touch, the intimate sensation set him afire. He scooped her onto his lap, nuzzled the soft skin of her neck. Her clean, tropical scent reminded him of the beach as he curled his fingers in her waves of hair. Long-held tension began to fade. He ached to search her lips and mouth and take in her feminine essence.
    He’d just glimpsed a slice of lingering naïveté about her former marriage. Was her hardline sarcasm and owning a bar, frequented by mostly men, a self-induced therapy so as not to be hurt again?
    She drew away, narrowed her eyes, and licked her lips. Slowly, she swept in and brushed her supple mouth over his, granting his wish.
    A hint of whiskey mixing with her natural sweetness suffused his taste buds. But his greatest delight came when her tongue begged entry. With her straddling his hips, a heat spread from his groin up into his lower belly.
    He gently caught her tongue in his teeth and teased it with his own. God, she tasted exquisite. Sweet and clean like a waterfall.
    “Wow.” She drew a deep breath. “Knew those handsome lips were skilled.”
    He caressed her fine-boned cheek. “And that pouty one of yours has had me wanting a taste since I sat down at the bar.”
    She straightened the collar of his polo. “So, did you and TJ have fun?”
    “It was good to catch up. We’ve only seen each another during a couple of training exercises since BUD/S.”
    “So, he didn’t get you laid or a lap dance?” She winked and rocked her hips.
    He groaned inwardly as her heat threatened to push his cock into launch mode. “He knows I was rescued by a lovely lady and that’s where my interests lie.”
    “Oh.” She sounded surprised, then recovered with a haughty flip of her hair. “Can you do simple, Jax?”
    “I can do whatever you need, sweetheart. While I’m here.”
    “Angel.” She pinned him with bedroom eyes.
    He cupped her ass and brought them nose to nose. “Whatever you need, Angel.”
     
     

Chapter 6
     
    Lost in his lusty gaze, Peri’s vision blurred.
    Whatever she needed…
    With his arousal obvious, what she needed evaded her. Her desire, however, was perfectly clear. Forget the world beneath his smoking-hot body. The way he handled her ex and Haley, both of whom seemed oblivious to her needs―at least Jax was in tune to her.
    He swept up the curve of her rear, along her back and continued until he cradled her head. Pressed his lips against hers. Warm and firm, they filled the contours of hers. He tasted like aroused male.
    Trained with every firearm known to man, SEALs tended to be experts at nearly everything through sheer will and determination. She bet Jax had satisfying a woman down to a science as well, but his touch felt far from mechanical. Having married for love and security, she’d missed out on the fun side of casual sex.
    He roamed the curves and hollows of her body with a talented skill. Excitement rushed through her like a speeding train.
    She ground against his erection, sending waves of heated desire to her pussy. Her swollen and needy clit ached for the solid cock currently restrained beneath his jeans.
    Until tonight, she’d had some lingering guilt she might have failed Sean in some way, but no more. She deserved to have this awesome warrior rock her world.
    “Hmm. How about I tuck you in before the sun
