“Don’t do that,” I snap at him.

“Do what?”

“Try to chase me away with your past cause it’s not going to work.”

He looks at me as though he doesn’t believe me, so I do what I have to do to get his attention.

“I mean, sure, you’re good-looking.” I let my eyes roam over him, letting him see how much I enjoy his physique. “But I met Cash and Johnny before I met you, and they’re bothreallygood-looking too. I cock my head and examine Jeb with an assessing gaze. “Johnny is definitely as hot as you are…”

“The fuck he is.” Jeb takes a few steps closer to me.

“The point is—” I put my hand out to keep him from getting any closer. “It wasn’t just your unbelievable blue eyes, or the way your faded Levis fit your ass—”

“Sure as hell have a better ass than fucking Johnny Devon,” he mutters.

I ignore him. “That made me want you from the second I saw you.”

He cocks his head. “What was it then?”

“The way you filled up the room with your presence,” I tell him, remembering our first meeting like it was yesterday. “No one walks into a room and owns it like you do.” I smile. “It was even the way you challenged me from the first syllable you spoke to me.”

He snorts. “If I remember right, you weren’t too impressed with those syllables.

“You made me feel things. Lots of things. I may have lashed out…a little.”

His eyes gleam at my admission of how much his charisma affected me, but he still doesn’t let it go. “A little?” he challenges me. “You cut me down so bad I needed first aid.”

I roll my eyes at his exaggeration. “That’s the thing. You were more than capable of anything me or anybody else threw at you at that meeting, or in any situation I’ve ever seen you in.”

“I don’t care what you were named before. My eyes fill with fire and an emotion I’ve known for a long time is love “You are Jebediah Ezekiel Jones. You didn’t find the name and live up to it. It found you because it’s the name of a legend, and you were worthy of it.”

Jeb doesn’t say anything. He just looks at me, a wet sheen glimmering in his eyes, reflecting the moonlight.

“And that’s the man I need right now, Jeb,” I say, and this time, without three drinks to fuel my courage, I start taking my clothes off. I shrug my hoodie off and it falls to the ground. Then I take off my shirt and let it drop, too. The cold night air hits my skin and my nipples pebble. Jeb’s eyes narrow on them and he licks his lips.

“I don’t need you to own the room right now.” My hands go to my jeans and I snap them open, shimmying out of them, enjoying the heat in Jeb’s gaze at the movement. The jeans pool at my feet, and when I try to step out of them, I stumble because I hadn’t thought about taking my shoes off first.

Luckily for me, my awkwardness seems to always turn him on. He steps forward, grabbing my shoulders and steadies me so I can untangle my feet. Once free, I turn his hold into an embrace by stepping into his arms and plastering myself against him. “I need you to own me,” I whisper in his ear.

“Are you sure?” he asks quietly.

I pull back so he can see my face. “I’ve never been more sure of anything else in my life.”

At my words the dangerous gleam is back in Jeb’s eyes as he licks his lips. “Eli, I hope you like the hotel suite you booked for us.” He bends slightly and suddenly my body is being lifted off the ground as he slings me over his shoulders as he heads toward the bedroom. I cry out in surprise, and he slaps my ass, the sting of it causing my cock to twitch. “Because we’re not leaving it for days.”

He drops me on the bed, and his eyes find the bag I’d had room service drop off. Picking it up, he looks inside and a predatory smile lights his face. He dumps the bag of condoms and lube on the bed and for once I don’t chide him for his messiness because I’m too busy watching him start to get undressed.

He starts with his boots and I admire his simple grace in kicking them off as he lifts his Henley off his head making my mouth water as his abs come into view.

I can’t help myself, I lean forward on my knees reach out to run a hand across his six back of muscles and watch fascinated how his stomach pulses at my touch.

He lets his shirt drop to the floor and quickly shucks his jeans off, and there he stands in front of me completely naked, the moonlight shining through the window backlighting his magnificence.

Leaning down, he takes my mouth in a kiss. It starts out slow and sweet, the softness of his lips contrasting the delicious sting of his rough stubble as Jeb deepens his demand. His tongue delving possessively into my mouth, causing me answer every wicked thrust of his tongue with my own.

Breaking the kiss, he pulls back breathing heavily and pushes me backward so I’m lying spreadeagled on the bed. His eyes roam over me, causing my skin to prickle in anticipation and my already hard cock to bob as if begging for his attention.

Jeb licks his lips and then putting a knee on the bed he slowly crawls toward me. I feel a fluttery thrill of alarm go through me as he comes at me.
