at the same time. I wanted him to see me. I wanted to see him.
“Face me.”
Still getting my bearings, I slowly turned back to him and was rendered speechless all over again. This time, it had nothing to do with orders or ball gags. This was all Jacob.
How was it possible that he still snatched the air from my lungs, like he had when we met? The very sight of him in all his glory made me want to pinch myself. My eyes met his cool blue ones, the waves swirling with power, authority, and a love that made me blush and wring my hands. It was like the quarterback asked the geeky girl to the prom and would take down anyone that questioned his sanity.
The rest of my perusal was anything but an ‘aww’ moment. His nostrils flared like a man on the hunt and the prize was in his sights. His lips, thick and delicious, were slightly parted as he did his own perusal...and I did not come up wanting.
His muscles glistened in the morning sun. Perfection in the flesh.
Mine.
When I met the perfectly cut V and my eyes rested on the part of him that was as insatiable as I was, I nearly fanned myself. It bulged and stood erect, every inch crying out for my body. Crying out for me. He was so still, so freaking gorgeous that when he moved it was like a Greek statue had come to life. Like a warrior who was home from battle, and ready to claim his woman.
He turned his back to me, striding toward the bed. I watched, speechless, as he moved to the center. He situated himself, folding a pillow behind his head and set me ablaze with his eyes.
“If you want it, come and take it.”
It was a challenge, and I wasted no time accepting it. I rode the pulse that vibrated between my thighs. Dizzy with arousal, I mounted the bed like my life depended on it. I held my stomach when the logistics and the fact that I hadn’t been on top in awhile, flitted through my head.
The heat in my cheeks depend to my bones. “Are you sure? I just-”
“Leila.”
It wasn’t an admonishment, his tone was too gentle for that. It was an invitation. It was Jacob telling me to stop listening to that tiny, insecure voice in my head and listen to my body. To his body.
I straightened my spine and muzzled the part of me that struggled with my changing body. I still had scars from a childhood of being told I was inadequate by my peers. Shrinking myself so I wouldn’t take up too much space.
He wanted to see me. He wanted to feel me. Every part of me.
I wrapped my hand around his shaft, biting my lip when his eyes flashed with excitement. I lowered myself onto him, feeling every inch stretch and pulse inside me as I took all of him inside me. I couldn't believe I'd hesitated, that I thought this would be anything but bliss.
I was a woman possessed, throwing my head back as I worked my hips. We both made sounds; flesh slapping, moans weaving in and out of each other, the hum of pleasure flooding my ears.
I raked my nails down his chest and gave him a command. “Come for me, Jacob.”
His gaze registered surprise but it quickly melted away when he let out a bellow that told me he was mine. For the first time in a long time, Jacob Whitmore obeyed me .
His climax set me free and we came together, both of us howling and clawing and panting and lost in our bodies. Lost in the bliss.
Chapter Three
I strutted off the elevator, ready to slay.
Our Hawaii vacation was only a week long but the businesswoman in me felt like it was longer, and not in a good way. A week—careers were made and destroyed in less time. The news was no help because it seemed to be business as usual back on the mainland. A couple of red carpet events that went off without a hitch, a movie release, a charity ball that surpassed its 5 million goal, and a slated apology blitz for a company embroiled in scandal after the CEO commented that the homeless problem in the city could be easily remedied if those less fortunate were rounded up and put elsewhere.
Out of sight, out of mind , I thought,
