Chapter Ten
The latchof the door echoes through the room as I stare straight ahead. I feel Jay approach rather than hear him. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing on end before he steps up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. My eyes drift to the mess we left on the bed, photos and paperwork covering the blanket everywhere except where we had been sitting.
“I’d like to have that conversation now,” Jay says, his lips pressing against the side of my neck. Tilting my head to give him better access, I let out a little hum as a reply. “I even brought snacks.”
I hear the rustle of cellophane, and then feel something pressed into my hand. When I look down, there’s a mini pack of gummy bears in my palm.
“My favorite.”
“I know. I still buy packs when I go to the gas station.”
“You hate gummy bears,” I state, turning in his arms so I can look into his eyes. Hazel globes I’ve wanted to get lost in since the moment we met.
“Yes, but there’s this girl who loves them and I’ve been holding out hope that one day I’d be able to share my stash with her.”
His eyes are alive as he takes in every aspect of my face, raising his hand to trace the path his eyes take. From my right cheek to my ear and then my chin. He gives me a little pinch before rubbing the pad of his thumb over my bottom lip, parting them as my tongue licks the seam.
Without asking this time, he leans in and gently presses his lips to mine for a brief moment. When he pulls back, he seems to contemplate his next move before leaning back in, this time stealing my breath.
My arms wrap around his neck, pulling him closer, begging him to deepen the kiss, as my fingers tangle with the hairs at the base of his neck. Needing no more urging, Jay’s tongue dives into my mouth, and the dance begins.
Our breath mingles.
Bodies pressing against one another.
I’m lifted off the floor, my back hitting the wall as my legs wrap around him, drawing him closer.
The second his hard length presses against my core I let out a moan that’s captured by Jay and silenced by his kiss. His hands grip my ass so tight I’m sure he’s going to leave marks. I return his enthusiasm, tugging his hair so hard I wouldn’t be surprised if I ripped some out of his head.
That doesn’t stop his assault on me or mine on him.
He leans back only long enough to remove his shirt, pulling it over his head without unbuttoning it, and tossing it across the room. His lips return to mine, demanding control of the kiss. It’s not until my hands begin wandering over the hard ridges of his chest that he lowers me to the floor and takes a step back.
We’re both breathing heavily. The gleam in his eyes is primal. I recognize the look. It’s the way I feel deep in my soul. It’s filled with need, pent up for years and ready to finally be released.
“Shirt,” he demands.
Without giving it a second thought, I raise my arms over my head, and seconds later my shirt goes flying in the same direction Jay’s did. His eyes devour every inch of my bare skin, heating me despite the cool temperature in the room that has my skin pebbling with goosebumps.
“You are so beautiful, Andrea,” he says, reaching out and tracing a path from my neck to my belly button with just his finger. “Inside and out, you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever met.”
If my panties weren’t already drenched from his kiss, his words would have done it.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. I’ve wanted you every second of every day I’ve known you. I may have been with another woman, but it was you I wanted. Then and now. Forever. Always.”
“Then have me,” I hear myself say.
That’s all the encouragement he needs to pull my body against his and reclaim my mouth. This time he’s slow, gentle. Savoring every moment as he explores my body with his hands, caressing parts of me that haven’t felt attention in far too long.
When I feel the button on my pants release, I suck in a breath and my body stills.
Yes, this is what I want. What I’ve always wanted. To be with Jay.
Why am I nervous now?
Oh, yeah.
I haven’t been with a man in exactly a year, the last time being on the anniversary of Sam’s death. My assistant convinced me to go out for drinks, and I let a guy who reminded me of Jay take me home that night. He was clumsy and smelled of stale beer and cigarettes.
