But I’m tired of being used, she wanted to scream. But she knew that man didn’t give a damn about her screams. So she smiled instead. He was her home, but that didn’t mean she was his home. “But even though I didn’t last very long as a massage trainee, I still can give good massages.”
Harrison smiled too, although he knew it was the way she coped. “Damn good massages,” he said. “My headache feels better already.”
She was pleased. “Really?”
“Absolutely. I wouldn’t lie to you.”
The way he said those words warmed her heart for some reason. And she smiled again.
And that smile was too much for Harrison. This girl was one of a kind and he knew it. That was why he didn’t hesitate, or wait for her to resist. He pulled her into his arms. And held her there for what seemed like a lifetime, but was only a few minutes.
And then they both got out of the tub, he handed her a towel and got one himself, and they began drying off.
“You do realize,” Jayda said with a smile as they dried off, “that we didn’t bathe at all?”
Harrison smiled and then he laughed a booming laugh. “That’s right!” he said with a grin. “Maybe next time.”
She nodded. She loved his grin. “Yep,” she said. “Maybe.”
But what she loved most about that evening was when he escorted her to his bedroom, turned down his fancy satin sheets, and they got into bed. Just the two of them. And they laid on their sides facing each other. Somehow she knew she was safe with this man.
And she also knew as she stared into his eyes, that he was somebody she could fall madly in love with. Which could be her undoing. He didn’t believe in love, at least that was how she interpreted what he’d said to her. If she fell, she was going to be falling down a one-way street.
But even that didn’t scare her. She felt too good. Too relaxed around him. And she smiled.
Which made him smile too. “What’s funny?”
“You broke your promise.”
Harrison’s smile left. “What promise did I break?”
“You promised me that no clothes would come off, and here both of us are laying in this bed naked.”
Harrison laughed. He could love this girl! “It wasn’t just me,” he said. “You broke your promise too.”
Now it was Jayda’s time to be concerned. “What promise I broke?”
“You said you were never going to sleep with me. Now look at you. In bed ready to close your eyes and go to sleep with me.”
Jayda laughed too. “You know what I meant! I didn’t meansleepsleep.”
He nodded. “Duly noted.” Then he rubbed the back of his hand against her soft cheek.
But as soon as he touched her face something happened. Something changed. Because their lighthearted banter turnedsuddenly serious. And neither one of them were smiling any more. Those feelings became too intense.
And although Harrison knew he had promised her, and although they had just joked about it, there was nothing funny about it anymore. He looked down at her beautiful lips, and he knew there was no stopping him now.
As he moved his lips toward her lips, hoping she would not resist him, he stared into her eyes. It would not be her body, because he could feel the heat generating off of her too, but it would be her eyes that answered his question. And when her eyes softened as he purposely slowly moved in closer, he had his answer. She was afraid, he saw the fear in her eyes, but she was willing too. She had feelings she could not suppress any longer either.
And that was the end of his caution. Because as soon as his lips touched her lips, it was all over for both of them. He wrapped her into his arms, slamming her body against his body, and they kissed a long, hard, deeply penetrating kiss. So deep that neither one of them wanted to stop.
For Harrison it was all in her taste. He couldn’t believe how wonderfully she tasted.
For Jayda it was all in the way he was holding her, and his rock-hard rod pressed against her, and how badly she wanted so much more of him.
She got more than she bargained for.
He moved down the length of her body, kissing every inch of her, until he was between her thighs. And that was when he moved in so hard that he lifted her butt off of those sheets. It was as if it was too intense for her to bear. She squeezed the sheets until her fingers hurt. That was how hard Harrison went down on her.
