Of course Jade watched my face while she did it.
“You’re easier to read in daylight,” she said.
“I’m choosing not to find that insulting.”
“Personal growth.”
I gripped her hips. “Condom?”
She stilled, then softened. “Same answer as before. I have an IUD, I’m clean, and I’m still sure.”
“I’m clean, and I’m still sure too.”
Something in her face flickered at the word still.
I caught it and held her gaze. “Not because of Pine Shadow. Because of now.”
Jade swallowed. “Okay.”
She rose on her knees and guided me to her.
I held her hips but let her set the pace.
She sank down slowly, taking me inch by inch, lips parted and eyes locked on mine. The heat of her closed around me, tight and wet, and every breath I had left went useless. When she settled fully in my lap, both of us stopped moving.
Her forehead touched mine. She was Jade, and she was here because she chose to be.
“Jade,” I said.
She moved.
She moved slowly at first, careful of my ribs.
“Stop treating me like glass,” I said.
“Fine.”
Then she smiled, sharp and beautiful, and rolled her hips in a way that turned the room white around the edges.
I caught her ass in both hands and helped her ride me.
She braced one hand on my shoulder, the other at the back of my neck. Her breasts moved with every stroke. Her hair came loose from the braid, pale strands sticking to her throat. She held my gaze and didn’t glance toward the door.
My grip tightened on her hips.
I slid one hand between us and found her clit.
Her rhythm faltered. “Dex.”
“I’ve got you.”
“I know.”
Those two words nearly finished me.
I worked her with my thumb while she rode me harder, breath breaking, thighs trembling around my hips. Her pussy clenched tight around my cock. I kissed her throat, her jaw, the corner of her lips, anywhere I could reach while she took what she wanted.
“Come for me,” I said. “Right here, Jade.”
