Returning to her back, she watched as he finished removing his jeans and boxers, followed by his socks. In all his naked glory, Jax walked to the nightstand near the head of the bed, pulled open the top drawer, and retrieved a box of condoms.
Her chest tightened, her mind filling with unwanted images. Jax here with another woman…or several.
Not that she could fault him for it. The guy was pretty much the most perfect specimen of primal manhood. Of course, he had a past that included previous sexual partners. So did she, although her history was most assuredly nowhere close to holding his kind of experience.
So what if he’d had other women in this bed? It wasn’t like they were madly in love and planning to get married. This was just sex.
Raw. Hot. Incredible sex.
And Jax—
“Whatever you’re thinking, stop it.”
The deep command caught her off guard. “I wasn’t—”
“No lies, Penelope.” He shook his head as he made his way back to her. “Not here.”
Well, crap.How was it possible for this man to read her so well?
“Sorry.”
“Don’t want apologies, Kitten.” He opened the box—the brandnewbox—and tore off one of the foil squares. “Just want you here, with me.”
“I’m here,” she whispered. “I’m with you.”
“Good.” Jax tore the package open with his teeth.
Tossing the empty wrapper aside, he rolled the protective barrier along his length before kneeling onto the mattress. There, he began to crawl—no,stalked—his way up over her waiting form.
“There’s something you should know.” He settled himself between her thighs. Brushing some hair from her eye, he told her, “You’re the only woman I’ve ever brought here.”
Her heart fluttered from the unexpected admission. “Really?”
“Really. When I come here, it’s to be alone.”
Well now she felt guilty for invading his private getaway. “I’m so—”
Jax cut her off with a finger to her lips. “Bringing you here was my choice. No one else’s. So there’s nothing to be sorry for. Okay?”
Poppy nodded.
“Now that we got that out of the way…” He reached between their bodies and aligned himself to her. “You ready?”
Another nod.
“Need to hear the words, Kitten.”
“I’m ready.”So, so ready.
With his steely gaze locked on hers, Jax pushed his hips forward, easing himself inside. Inch by wonderful inch, he stretched her delicate muscles. Filling her to the brim with pleasure.
He was big—reallybig—so it took a few tries before he became fully seated. Once there, Jax paused with a satisfied moan before bringing his lips to hers.
“So good.” He brought his mouth to the side of her neck, each word emphasized as he began to move. “So…fucking…good.”
Good didn’t even begin to describe the way this man made her feel. Every touch, every kiss…every powerful thrust of his hips…together he brought her closer and closer to Heaven.
He didn’t move like a man just looking for a quick lay. Instead, the sexy P.I. took his time, using his slow, methodical movements to draw out every ounce of pleasure for them both.
