helped her to her feet.
She laced her fingers behind his neck. “Wow.”
“I’m going for speechless, next.” He pushed a curl behind her ear and drew her tight. Her unfocused, sexy stare held him captive until she branded his mouth with a tongue-tying kiss.
He loved that she didn’t mind the taste of her own release. Tangy sweet. He already longed for more.
Entwining his hand in her thick blond strands, he imagined her as a lioness in his bed and drew her into the roomy marble shower.
The warm spray mingled with the gel he lathered in slow circles as he worked the foam over her pert breasts. Her peach-colored nipples hardened under the attention.
With a sigh, she rested the back of her head against the wall of his chest.
He almost heard the warring inside her head and turned her to face him. “Forget the world for now, Angel. It's only us.”
“Kinda hard.” Her voice sounded small.
“Kinda hard? Baby, I’m like the barrel of a cannon.” He chuckled, running his fingers along her back and settling on the firm cheeks of her ass. Tugged her against his dick to tease her belly.
She curled her fingers around the head, slick with pre-cum, feeling the weight of him. Then she peered up wearing the barest of smiles and began pumping him with firm strokes. “What’s my name, again?”
So long since he’d felt anything besides his own hand. He widened his stance as her other hand cupped his balls. His boys clenched at the soft caress. Fuck. In reflex, he thrust, mimicking the carnal act. He’d love to do her against the shower wall. A position he’d bet she’d never experienced, but he was too brazen to try after her ex stalked her home. The pressure of her slim fingers threatened to end things too soon.
When she started to kneel, he caught her. “Not yet, baby. I want to be inside you.”
She took her sweet time soaping him from head to toe while playing particular attention to his junk. The little imp even dared to tease between the cheeks of his ass. “Be careful, Angel. Two can play that game.”
“Promise.” She winked.
Lord help him, because he wanted to be that naughty.
After her tenacious efforts, he offered her the same attention. Under the hot spray and suds, her bare folds were slick with desire. His heart’s maddening gallop echoed in his throbbing shaft.
As the water cooled, he ended his foray of her lovely body and shut off the shower. After grabbing the towels, he wrapped her in one then slung the other around his waist.
“Let’s go to your room.” She grasped his hand.
He followed her like a trained dog. Jax couldn’t deny his excitement about things progressing so quickly. Shit, he just might have to thank the fucker of an ex-husband.
He paused at the bathroom by the kitchen, needing to bandage his wound. “I’ll be up in a minute.”
“Condoms?” She twirled her fingers through her wet curls.
Chapter 7
He gave her a quick kiss and let her question drop, closing the bathroom door. She’d played nurse last night. Having her do it now would totally kill his wood.
After applying antibiotic cream, he slapped on one of the large, padded, self-sticking pads, and sprinted up the stairs, sans towel, ready to start his own brand of physical therapy.
The TV light cast a glow over the low, king-size bed, where a beautiful, big-eyed blonde lounged. Dark sheets emphasized her tawny skin.
She held his gaze, then let it drop.
Straight to his dick.
He’d always been confident. Yet insecurity crept through his brain in ways he didn’t understand. Peri prompted him to seek her validation in other ways.
He covered his concern with a predatory squint and strode for her. Kneeling on the bed, he wrapped her in his arms. So soft, so opposite of him. He caressed her temples and her hair, giving her a minute as he searched her face for any sign of reluctance.
“You changed your dressing, didn’t you?” A dimple creased her cheek.
“Can’t a guy have any
