I lifted a hand to trace the line of his jaw with my fingers. His stubble was rough to the touch, but more than a welcome sensation. I admired the shape of his lips, grazing my fingers over his bottom one. Jesse didn’t pull away. Instead, he leaned into it. His pupils were blown wide open as he studied me intently.
“Vivian,” he said gruffly. “We shouldn’t.”
I searched his eyes. “Then tell me to stop.”
Conflict flashed across his face, torn between resistance and giving in.
I knew what his decision was the second he leaned in and crashed his lips to mine.
The kiss was bruising at first. Desperate. Eager. Our lips slotted into place, hot breath mixing together. The hard press of his body against me set my core on fire. I dragged my fingers through his silky hair and moaned. Our tongues swept over one another, fighting for dominance. In the end, I was the one to give in, melting into his touch.
He kissed me just like he searched a room. Efficient, alert, moving with purpose. Jesse grabbed greedily at my thighs, my waist, hungry for more. I was still pinned to the counter, but I had no intention of moving out of the way. I could feel him better this way. Strong muscles beneath taut skin. When he rolled his hips against me, the hard press of his cock against my thigh made me moan.
Hot, wet desire pooled between my legs. My pussy ached to feel his touch, practically quivering for him as he moved to nip at my neck. He sucked at my tender skin, hard enough to leave a mark. I didn’t even care. It felt so good to feel something, feelhim. His weight was a welcome comfort. A warm blanket on a cold winter’s night.
It was dizzying. All encompassing. Overwhelming in the best of ways. I was electric. Sparks leaped from nerve to nerve. My skin was alight with soft fire. And just when I thought I couldn’t get enough, Jesse spun me around, my back to his chest. He pressed feverish kisses to the back of my neck, his arms wrapped around me.
“Are you sure you want this?” he asked, voice a low rumble.
“Yes. Yes, I’m sure.”
“You have to understand I don’t do things in halves.”
“I don’t even know what that means.”
“It means,” he said, slipping a hand down the front of my jeans. His rough palm against my stomach was everything. “It means you’re in for a long night.”
I was feeling brave. Braver than I ever felt in my entire life. “Are you going to spend the whole night talking? Or are you going to put your money where your mouth is?”
Jesse chuckled, combing his fingers through my hair and undoing my bun. He grasped at the roots, not hard enough to hurt, but firm enough to tell me exactly who was boss. “Naughty girl,” he murmured against the crook of my neck. “You’ve got quite a mouth on you. I’m going to have to teach you a lesson.”
“You’restilltalking,” I retorted, grinding my ass against him. His arousal was apparent, and it made me that much wetter to know how badly I was affecting him. “You’re all talk and no action, Jesse.”
“That’ssirto you.”
I licked my lips. “Yes, sir,” I whined, my knees trembling.
“That’s much better. Spread your legs for me. There you go, just like that.”
Jesse slipped a finger between my lips, rubbing circles against my sensitive clit. I gasped, pleasure spiking straight through me. I moaned, gripping the edge of the counter for dear life.
“So nice and wet for me,” he growled, grinding against me while drawing even tighter circles. “Not so sassy now, are you?”
“Jesse, I—”
“Sir,” he corrected.
“Please, sir, I need—” I could barely string together a coherent sentence. “I want to come,” I blurted out. “I want to come, sir.Please.”
“I don’t know if you deserve to.”
Desperation clawed at my core. I was close, teetering on the edge between sanity and pure bliss. “Please, sir, please. Oh, my God, right there. Right there—”
He stopped, finger hovering above my aching bud, refusing to move. I clenched around nothing, a frustrated groan ripping from my throat.
“Why?” I demanded, indignant. My cheeks were hot, my blood was thrumming. I was soclosethat it almost hurt when Jesse pulled away.
He kissed my cheek. Tender, teasing. “Like I said, you’re in for a long night.”
