“No, I want to stay up and watch it. Do you like this kind of movie?” I ask as I look over at him.
A soft smile plays on his lips. “What guy doesn’t?”
“True, very true.”
I think I make it through half of the movie before I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. I startle awake when I’m lifted from the couch. My head lands on Jack’s shoulder, and I find myself cradled against his strong chest. I wrap my free hand around his neck, digging my nose into his throat and inhaling.
“Are you smelling me?” He laughs.
“Maybe? You got a problem with that, Detective?” I sass back.
He laughs fully at that. “Nope, I guess not. Sniff away.”
“Thank you. I think I will,” I say just before inhaling again, drinking in his intoxicating woodsy scent.
He chuckles in response.
“Okay, here you go, weirdo,” he says as he places me down in his bed. Leaning down, he takes off my shoes and socks and places them on the floor next to the bed.
“Do you want to stay in your jeans?” I shake my head and reach down to unbutton them. “May I?” he tentatively asks.
I swallow hard, my legs involuntarily pressing together to combat the tension rising there at merely the implication.
“Yes,” I whisper, suddenly much more awake with butterflies in full force.
He reaches down, moving my hands to unbutton my jeans for me before pulling the zipper down. He runs his hands down to my knees then back up, curving around my hips to my bottom. He lingers there, squeezing my backside, and then makes his way up to my waist.
He hooks his fingers in the waistband of my jeans to tug them down. I lift my hips to help him, and my jeans slide down my legs. Leaving me in a pair of plain Jane underwear and my shirt.
Jack’s eyes immediately flare with heat, as he once again runs his hands up and down myverybare legs.
“What about your shirt?” he asks.
“Can I wear one of yours?” I want to be completely surrounded by him.
“Of course.” He goes to his dresser and pulls out a worn gray t-shirt. It looks like it’s had years of use. Holes down by the hem and up by the collar. “It’s my favorite, and I want to see you wear it with nothing else.” His tone is seductive, and I can’t find any reason not to give him exactly what he wants.
I sit up on the bed, pulling my work shirt up and over my head. I leave my bra on for now as he reaches over to help me put his shirt on. I look up to see him intently staring at me.
“I don’t know if I have ever seen anything more beautiful, Ms. Andrea Shaw.”
Warmth floods my entire body as his words overtake every cell, heating me from the inside out. I reach for him, pulling him down on top of me.
He comes willingly, and I grab his shirt to pull it up and over his head. Tossing it aside, I run my hands all over his bare chest, exploring every groove and dip. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this man and his beautiful words, certainly not this sexy body.
We lazily kiss for what feels like forever and also no time at all. We aren’t rushing. We’re getting to know one another. I watch and listen for his gasps and groans of excitement.
My hips grind against his, and I hate that he still has clothes on. I reach down to explore, running my hands over the prominent bulge filling out the front of his pants. He rolls us so I’m on my back with him hovering over me.
“Don’t tease me, baby. I’m trying to be a gentleman over here, but a man can only take so much.”
I still at his words. I want to continue touching him, but I also don’t know if I’m ready for sex yet.
Jack feels so good. He’s kind, patient, and gentle. He’s also funny, compassionate, and so smart. I know I want this man with every fiber of my being, but my mind won’t let me drop all my walls.
He sees the hesitation in my eyes and pulls back. “It’s okay if you aren’t ready. You’ve been through hell and back. I can wait.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to.God, Ireallydo. I just need time.” I hope he understands.
