His jaw tightened. “I should certainly expect not.”
“You’re a hard man to forget.”
He lifted his hand and cupped her cheek. “We’re not parting company just yet, sweetness. Stop trying to disappear on me.”
“I wouldn’t.” Husky. “But I already know this is way more than you bargained for, and I just want to say—”
“If you say thank you again, I might just have to fuck you here and now.”
Thank you. Say thank you.A very loud voice threw that demand into her mind.
“And we have a chopper that will be landing close by soon, so me sinking into you and fucking until oblivion takes us shouldn’t be on the table.” His thumb brushed over her lips. “But if you say those two words one more time…”
Shewantedto say them. She wanted him. But Jacqueline clamped her lips together even as she thought…Thank you.
“But maybe you think what happened between us was a mistake.” His hand dropped. He stepped back. “Maybe you’d rather I give you your old life back, ASAP, and you can move on, and we will never fuck again.”
Her hand flew out and locked around his wrist. “That was the most incredible sex I’ve ever had. I did things with you that I’ve never felt confident enough to try with anyone else.” No, more than that. “Iwantedto do them with you.”
“First time you went down on a man,” he said, voice deepening even more than normal.
“First time a man went down on me.”
He swallowed. “Sweetness…”
“I thought it would be awkward. That I’d feel shy.” She wet her lower lip. “I didn’t. I loved every moment. So, no, I don’tthink it was a mistake. I think what we did in this room was probably the most exciting thing I’ve ever done.”
His eyes squeezed closed. His hands fisted. She was still curling her fingers around his wrist, so she felt the fast racing of his pulse. “Remy?”
“Trying to take some advice,” he muttered.
“What advice might that be?”
“Control.” His eyes flew open. The darknessburned.“But with you, that’s damn hard.”
Her breath came faster. Jacqueline found herself leaning toward him. “I don’t regret anything we did.” She never wanted him to think that she had regrets.
“Neither the hell do I.”
“Very glad to hear that. I’m sure that you’re used to partners with a lot more experience—”
“Can’t remember a single one of them.”
Her breath caught. “Excuse me?”
“All I can think about is you. Having you again. And again.” He lifted his hand—and hers, since she continued to hold his wrist. But then he took her hand off him. Brought it to his mouth and turned it over. He lightly bit down on the pad of her palm.
A shudder slid over her.
“I’ll have you again,” he promised as his eyes seemed to go even darker. “Before you leave me, I’ll have you and you’ll scream for me over and over. I might not be the guy who gets forever with you, but I will be the man you remember forever.”
She surged toward him.
His head was already lowering.
Their mouths met. Hot. Wild. The lust seemed to explode between them. A desire that was fiercer than anything she’d known before. A craving that should have made her worried, butit didn’t. Because when she had Remy holding her, how could she be scared? The passion between them only brought pleasure, not pain. There was nothing to fear with Remy.
She could feel his dick shoving against her through their clothes. He was fully aroused. So was she. Her nipples were tight and aching, and Jacqueline’s panties were getting wet. Completely embarrassing but…
