“A condom?”

“Yes, please!”

He disentangled himself from her and rolled off the bed. “Lie down and take off your underwear.”

His simple command heightened her arousal. Finally, he would see her naked, and she wasn’t the least bit intimidated by it. It wasn’t that she was overconfident, but he made her feel sexy, desirable, and appreciated. It had been a long time since she’d felt this good, and she was going to soak up every second of it. Quietly, of course.

He stood at the edge of the bed and watched as she slid her silky red bikinis down her legs. Her seductive striptease was interrupted, though, when her panties met her fuzzy socks.

She glanced up at him, and he grinned.

“Hold on a sec,” she said. She quickly peeled off her socks, flipped them off the bed, and finished removing her panties. So much for the perfect striptease!

She lay back on the bed, fully exposed, and looked up at him again. His chest rose and fell rapidly, his erection strained against the fabric of his underwear, and his intense gaze flooded her with desire.

She wasn’t sure how much longer she could lie still, but luckily, she didn’t have to wait long. In two strides, he was at his dresser, and he opened the top drawer and removed a condom.

She came up on her elbows and watched him remove his boxer-briefs and roll the condom down his length. She thought he was the most beautiful man she’d ever seen as he climbed onto the bed and kneeled over her.

Trevor had always been more eager to get inside her than to see to her pleasure. Not so with Jax. Bracing himself with one hand, he moved his other hand to her opening.

Her legs spread automatically, welcoming his touch and needing it with every fiber of her being.

“Yeah,” he breathed as he caressed her inside and out.

He’d only done this once before, but he read her expertly, adapting the pressure as she needed it and quickly bringing her to the brink. She could have easily given herself over to his ministrations, but she wanted more this time.

“Together…” she panted.

He removed his hand, wrapped it around his erection, and guided it to her entrance. She’d never been in such a hurry to have a man inside her before, and she eagerly spread her legs further apart.

Then he slowly began to fill her, allowing her body to adjust to his impressive size.

“Ahh,” she moaned once he was fully rooted.

“Quiet,” he gently reminded her.

A few minutes later, when he began to thrust, it was nearly impossible to stay quiet. She wrapped her legs around his powerful thighs and dug her heels in to pull him closer.

He braced his weight on his elbows and kissed her everywhere he could reach while his pelvis rocked enticingly against hers. He was a big man, but she didn’t feel crushed. On the contrary, she felt light and free, like she was floating on a fluffy cloud.

He blazed a trail of kisses from her mouth to her neck and tugged her earlobe between his teeth. Every so often, he whispered something sexy in her ear that ramped up her desire even more.

“You’re so beautiful. Wanted you for so long. This is heaven.”

She nodded, thinking how aptly named his cabin was. Close to Heaven was exactly how she felt.

Soon they reached the peak of ecstasy, one after the other, clinging to each other and swallowing each other’s sounds. Afterward he held her close as they drifted back down, and he didn’t let go until the very last shudder.

Just like the night before, he broke away too soon, but this time, she understood why. They’d been together for almost an hour, and neither wanted to press their luck any further.

Jax took her hand and led her into the connected bathroom, picking up their clothes along the way. He disposed of the condom, and they re-dressed in silence. Then he walked her to the bedroom door and pulled her into his arms.

“I wish you could stay.”

“Me too.”

But they both knew it was impossible.

He leaned in and kissed her, and even though it was brief, it held the promise of more to come. He cracked open the door, peeked out, and then nodded, indicating the coast was clear.

She couldn’t resist one more kiss, so she went up on tiptoes and pressed her lips to his. He playfully patted her bottom and whispered, “Go.”

She scurried down the hall and into the guest room, softly closing the door behind her. She crawled back into bed, feeling warm and satisfied, and soon she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
