Jake sucked in a breath and reached for her hand, pressing a tender kiss to her palm. “I’m in love with you, too.”
She went stock still beneath him. “You can’t be. Can you?”
“I sure can.” He forcefully flexed his lower half and she didn’t know whether to whimper or laugh. “I’ll prove it you by extending our New Year’s celebration just as soon as you let me get latexed up again.”
“Wait,” she said when he again tried to rise.
Jake rolled his eyes. “What now, woman?”
“I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry.”
His dark brows dipped low over his eyes. “Huh?”
“About your ex going into the convent because you suck in bed.”
He shuddered and passed his hand over his face as if he wanted to wipe away his thoughts. “Was I that transparent?”
With a smile, she stroked his prickly jaw and marveled at how sexy he looked with stubble. How sexy it was that she’d feel it on her cheeks and the tops of her breasts… “Yeah, just a little. But the good news is you’re officially a stud. I should know.”
“Am I going to want to hear this?” he asked, wincing.
“Yes. Because I fantasized about you so damn much I figured there was no way the reality could measure up. But it did. More than. Better than Christmas, New Year’s, and the Fourth of July wrapped into one.”
“Oh. So no pressure for next time then.” Laughing, he lowered his head to her breast, nuzzling the pebbled tip gently until her moan prompted him to claim her mouth. His kisses drugged her, so sweet and delicious she’d happily stay right there forever.
“None at all. We should pretend it’s the first time, every time. That we just met and fell in love at first sight. Then we won’t have to think about pesky things like sisters and best friends and that I really don’t mind that much when you call me Nellie, no matter what I say.” She spoke against his mouth, thrilled that she could see the same bubbling excitement she felt shining back at her in his eyes. “So…hello, Jacob. Nice to meet you. Can we please have sex now?”
Another laugh rumbled through his chest. He rolled off the bed and waggled his brows. “Absolutely, Nellie.”
“I’m so going to make you pay for that.” She reclined seductively against the pillows. From the way his expression glazed, the pose had the desired effect. “One of the things in my car was the dress I bought to wear for you at the party. The cops verified it was still in the backseat. So unless you get back here fast, I might not ever let you see it. And Jake? You want to see it.”
Without another glance her way, he dashed out of the room. “Back in under a minute. Time me,” he called.
She chuckled and stretched her arms over her head. Even though nothing had gone according to plan, she’d had the most amazing New Year’s ever.
Best of all? They’d created the magic all on their own.
No dress required.
