He slid a helmet over my head. “I got you.”

Warmth spread through my body at his words. I trusted that he would keep me safe. Last night was incredible, but he’d also taken care of me. Held me. Made sure my needs were met. I knew he’d be like that in other areas as well.

The only time he seemed to struggle was when he was putting on a front with people he hadn’t let in. Was I one of the people he was pulling into his inner circle?

My heart skipped a beat at that thought.

He slung a leg over the large bike, gesturing for me to do the same. I took a deep breath and moved my purse so that it crossed my body and mimicked his movement. The only difference was that it brought me flush against his back. He touched my knee, as if to make sure I was secure, and then he yelled over the roar of the bike. “You ready for the ride of your life?”

Anticipation shot through me. “Let’s do it.”

“Hold on to me.”

I wrapped my arms around his waist, threading my fingers together, and rested my head against his back.

He touched my hands briefly before taking the handles and moving. I was nervous, yet anticipation hummed through my veins. I’d never done anything so risky. I’d never let go. Not like this.

He moved slowly, pulling onto the street. Thankfully, the roads were deserted.

Jake moved slowly through town. Each time he stopped at a red light, he touched my knee or my hands briefly, as if to ensure I was still there.

I grew more confident the longer I rode, and by the time he’d pulled onto the road leading to my house, I’d picked up my head to watch the trees and fields as we flew by. It was exhilarating. The engine pulsed and vibrated between my legs. Jake’s strong body pressed back against mine. I felt safe and secure, yet free. As if I could do anything I wanted.

My heart soared with the possibilities, even as I tried to tamp them down. I couldn’t let my guard down completely with Jake. He hadn’t made promises past this one night, and I couldn’t forget that.

He parked the motorcycle near the porch and waited for me to get off first. With two feet on the ground, I pulled off the helmet and handed it to him.

Securing the helmets, he asked, “What did you think?”

I waited for his gaze to meet mine before I said, “I loved it.”

He raised one disbelieving brow. “You want to go again?”

I nodded, surprising myself. “Yeah, I do.”

I’d never seriously thought about riding a motorcycle. I always thought they were dangerous, and the guys who drove them were too careless for me. But Jake wasn’t like that. He was solid and trustworthy. Protective and caring.

His lips dropped to mine, his hands caressing my shoulders, warming the chill from riding through the streets at night. Then he was lifting me into his arms as I wrapped my legs around his waist. As he stalked up the porch steps, I’d never felt more alive than in this moment.

He ripped his lips from mine and growled, “Key?”

I fumbled with my purse to get the ring and hand it to him. He seemed reluctant to set me down.

He easily slid the key into the lock and pushed the door open. Closing it behind us, he pressed me against it. “I can’t get enough of you.”

It sounded like more of an accusation, but at the same time, it felt like a caress I felt deep inside. He kissed me as he ground his cock against my center.

There were too many layers of clothes between us. “I need you.”

He growled and then lifted me away from the wall and up the steps to my room. He didn’t stop kissing me until we reached my bed, and he dropped me in the middle.

I shucked off my shoes and my purse, lying back to watch him take off his shirt and push down his jeans. His cock sprung free, and my mouth was suddenly very dry. I reached for him. “Jake—”

He moved to hover over me, his cock just out of reach. His fingers tugged on the thin strap of my dress. “I want to savor you all night.”

My pussy clenched in anticipation.

Jake pulled down the bodice of my dress so my lace-covered bra was visible. He licked me through the lace, his gaze on me the entire time. There was a challenge in his eyes right before he shoved the cup down and sucked my nipple into his mouth.
