Jackson’s arms came around her again and he squeezed her to him, his good arm doing most of the squeezing. “Is this really happening? Can we have everything we’ve wanted, Isabel?”
She looped her arms around his neck and rested her forehead against his. “I think we can, Jackson. I think this universe is on our side.”
He caught her mouth with his and within seconds the kiss grew to a hungry blaze, scorching Isabel’s body and making her ache for more. The scratch of Jackson’s beard against her skin as he ran his lips along her jaw and to the curve of her neck had her core heating. When she’d first developed this plan to fly to D.C., she’d worried that Jackson wouldn’t be swayed. That perhaps his concerns would outweigh any arguments she presented. The thought of being without him had physically hurt. She’d done her best to ignore that possibility and thank God it had worked out.
Because a life where she didn’t have this man in her arms wasn’t a life she wanted to live. She’d tried that life and while it hadn’t been horrible, it also hadn’t been filled with the joy and love she knew would fill their days now that they were together again. Had they wasted years apart? Yup. Did those years maybe allow them to grow the hell up so they’d be perfect for each other now? Isabel liked to think so. Nothing would stop them from enjoying each other from this point onward.
“I’d love to pick you up and carry you off to my tiny bedroom,” Jackson said between pressing kisses along her neck and nipping her collarbone, “but my shoulder won’t like that.”
“Fine. I’ll carry you to bed then.” She slid off his lap and forklifted her arms under his legs, but he slapped her away.
“Unless you want to seriously offend my dick, you will stop this attempt right now, Isabel Perri.” But he was laughing and tugging on her hair that hung over him as she leaned down.
Isabel straightened and held out her hand instead. “There will be no dick offending tonight. I only wish to bring happy times to your dick.” She wiggled her fingers.
Jackson took her hand and let her pull him—gently—to his feet. “My dick thanks you.” He followed her into the bedroom and she surveyed the small space and the full bed.
“This is cute and all, but we’re going to need a king-sized bed for the gymnastics I have planned for our future.” She turned to face him. “When you come back to Maplehaven after the semester is through, you’re going to find the cottage next to my grandfather’s renovated into a nice Sex Cottage for us. How does that sound?”
“Wonderful.” He brushed his lips to hers as he backed her toward the bed.
“I mean, I know you’ll still want to travel to digs and stuff,” she said, sliding her hands up his chest. “But we need a home base, right?”
“We do.” Jackson lifted her shirt off her as the back of her legs hit the edge of the bed. “And you’ll come with me on digs sometimes, won’t you? Traveling is fun.”
She carefully peeled his T-shirt off, minding his injured shoulder. Pressing a kiss near the bandaged wound, she got to work on unbuttoning and unzipping his pants as he slid his hands into her shorts and cupped her ass. “I’d love to travel with you. I can research other ideas I want to bring back to Pine River Cottages and Mountain Resort.”
“And we can make love around the world.” He nibbled on her shoulder as she freed his arousal.
“You have the best ideas, Doctor Hunky.”
They rid themselves of the rest of their clothes and Isabel eased Jackson onto his back on the bed. Crawling over him, she settled on his hips, her hot and ready core pressing against his rock-solid erection. She coasted her hands over his pecs and abs then followed that same path with her lips, loving when Jackson’s fingers slid into her hair and massaged her scalp. The rumble of approval that rose from his throat as she licked the tip of his arousal made her entire body tingle. She loved knowing her touch brought him such pleasure.
Isabel also loved being in control right now. With his shoulder, Jackson wasn’t trying to lead here. On his back, with his hands still buried in her hair, he was letting her steer tonight’s festivities and she relished the power. Something about doing whatever she wanted to this sexy man that was all hers made her feel on top of the world.
With a few more teasing licks, Isabel took Jackson’s length into her mouth. Another primal growl vibrated out of him as she moved up and down his shaft, her tongue caressing along the way. His grip on her hair tightened, his fingers stiffening as he thrust up his hips a bit and she took more of him into her mouth.
“Fuck, Isabel...” His voice was low and hoarse as she brought him to the brink of sheer bliss. “That’s so good. So fucking good.”
She increased her pace, bobbing up and down, until Jackson’s entire body went rigid. In the next second, he released into her mouth, his hands smoothing her hair back.
“You are unbelievable,” he whispered, his breathing labored and his fingers sliding out of her hair. He covered his eyes with the heels of his palms and inhaled deeply. “We are so doing that all around the world too.”
Isabel crawled up the length of his body, letting her hardened nipples drag along his flesh so they both shivered at the contact. “That’s a fact.”
He hooked his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her down for a long, achingly slow kiss, his tongue caressing hers and generating a second wave of wanting between them.
“I need you inside me,” Isabel said when they finally broke the kiss. “I need us to be one.”
Without a word, Jackson reached down and tested her core with two fingers. He teased her until she was writhing on top of him and so full of desire she might detonate.
“Jackson... please...” She leaned into the hand he’d put to her breast, her back arching as he nearly made her come with his fingers.
Slowly, he withdrew his fingers and guided himself into her core. He moved slowly, drawing out the entry so she felt every single inch he gave her. “Is this okay?” he asked in a whisper. “No condom?”
“This is so okay, Jackson. I’m on birth control.” She bent and brushed her lips to his. “I’m clean and I don’t want to be with anyone other than you ever again.”
Nodding, he pushed farther into her and she moaned at being full of him. She rocked her hips, drawing him in deeper, then she began a slow rise, dragging her core along his length.
