The root of his anger was the aching of his heart.
He lowered his hands to her hips to stop the hypnotic, rhythmic motion.
Jillian leaned back to look at him.
Their eyes searched each other’s faces.
Cole lowered his lids slightly as the look in her eyes shifted from desire to something more profound. More vulnerable. More revealing. Raw. Real.
His heart skipped a beat and he felt his feelings for her tighten his chest. The battle whether to trust her or not raged within him. “What more do you want from me? From my family?” he asked, his voice as hard as the inches still buried inside her.
Her eyes filled with remorse and glistened with unshed tears. “Let me love you,” she whispered on a breath before closing her eyes and shaking her head with her regret.
Damn.
Her pain caused the same in him. It pierced.
Jillian opened her eyes, her lashes damp with tears she’d held in, and looked at him. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. “You really care about me, too, Cole,” she said.
He shut his eyes.
She pressed her hands to his face and kissed his mouth. Gently. Lovingly.
“Don’t you have a deal to keep with my mother?” he said. He tilted his head back to avoid her tempting kisses and to attempt to hold steadfast to anger that was fading.
“I choose you,” she said.
“Too late,” he said.
“Cole,” she said, revealing a streak of frustration with him.
He surprised himself by the urge to chuckle and was relieved when he didn’t.
Again, she started to rotate her hips. He was unable to deny that he missed her in his bed, but he also yearned for the sound of her laughter and her free-spirited nature in his life. “I don’t believe you are in love with me,” he admitted as he shifted his hands to grip her buttocks.
Jillian lowered one arm across his back and settled the other on his shoulder as she kissed one side of his mouth and then the other.
“I will prove it to you, Cole Cress,” she whispered against his lips.
He lightly gripped the back of her neck and kissed her deeply, wanting to eat her words. She moaned from the back of her throat as he sucked her tongue and delivered a thrust that eased the rest of his inches inside her until she was full with him.
They moved in sync in a wicked back-and-forth motion. Desire and passion fueled them. Moans and pants and hot, whispered words of praise and pleading filled the air as they gave in to the attraction that had pulsed between them from the first sight of one another.
The months of denying himself the treats of another woman now had him feeling quite wild. He had to fight not to give in to it and perhaps thrust too hard or deep. The urge to leave love marks upon her neck and breasts filled him, but again he resisted the temptation to suckle and bite her flesh. He felt excitement and pleasure. His body began to seek and crave his release, but he eyed her intently as he honed in on a change in her intimacy that hinted she, too, was near climax.
He took the lead, delivering deep, slow strokes that made her eyes seem to glaze as she bit her bottom lip.
He raised one of her legs over his arm and shifted a bit to the left to match his thrusts with his racing heartbeat. Fast and furious. Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped as she dug her fingernails into his buttocks. He grunted and hissed as he felt her walls grip and release him.
She was primed and ready.
And so was he.
“You want it?” Cole asked, his voice deep and intense.
“Please,” she begged in a hot little whisper in his ear.
He shivered as he shifted her leg he held on to his shoulder and turned his head to kiss her calf as he let loose a series of piston-like strokes to stoke the storm bursting to explode.
