I held on, his htened, reaching again

"You’re so hard," I whispered, loving the feel of hilide

"It’s you" He kissed ain and again, takingme come"

His pace quickened, then he tensed, his head thrown back as the orgasm hit him I watched, awed, as shudders racked his powerful fraroanedas he caain

Chapter 7

JAX ROLLED TO his back beside hed, knowing just how he felt I was tingling all over, as ifhibernation

Which was sadly true

He turned his head towardforit to histhat soft warmth in his eyes I’d missed so much

"I’m sorry we didn’t make it to the bedroo"

"I’ll get you there as soon as I can walk"

"Getting old, Rutledge?" I teased, knowing that at twenty-nine, he was in his pri with its pretty ht" I threwmy reaction I couldn’t think about him with other women It made me crazy "I read the papers, you know"

"Escorting a wos" He leaned overmy wrist, he pulled ood to know you’ve been keeping tabs"

"I wasn’t"

Jax flashed his dimple at me "Okay"

He rose up to his knees and sank back on his heels, re the condoht of his half-hard cock glistening with semen made my mouth water

I pushed up onto my elbows and licked my lips "Come here"

He responded instantly, his cock stiffening and lengthening "Jesus, Gia"

I moved toward hi unsteadily to his feet, then holding out his hand to me "I’ll taste like rubber without one"

"I don’t care"

"I do" He pulledthere awhile"

I looked at hi there--tall and bare chested, his jeans open and shoved down, his cock exposed and curving upward toward his navel I’d never seen anything so blatantly masculine and erotic

This was the Jax I knew And loved so much

"Look at you," heoversexy So soft and beautiful"

"Right" My mouth curved as I checkedand my shirt was shoved up over my breasts No doubt asht ive you everything I’ve got, then take it lightly It’s not fair"

"No," I agreed "It isn’t, is it?"

Froe--he’d taken , he held ht lass coffee table

We crossed the taupe carpet to enter a bedroo the desk and ar area by athat stretched up to the high ceiling, and the entry into the bathroom was a beautifully simple archway

I tried not to sho astonished I hen Jax flipped the light on, but was glad he didn’t look at e, with a shower that could accommodate three people and a separate sunken tub with jets A television was embedded in the wall and the dual-sink vanity resembled the heavy wooden furniture in the bedroo you’d get o to turn on the shower I whistled, i, which sprayed water straight down like a waterfall

He facedyou?"

A sharp ache spread through , hard day One of the as that had made me love him

I wondered suddenly if that was just who Jax was and the way he talked to whatever woman ith his like that could turn a girl inside out Or ht depressedmy head back "Don’t check out on ? The weekend?" I backed away, soet out while I was ahead "I can’t do this, Jax"

His jaw tightened "Gia"

I turned and hurried through the bedrooetrooe s for him to find closure this way

"The hell it was" He tuggedet away "Why did you ask for this? You wanted to come here You wanted me to rowled, hating how he recoiled froet past the tension some the truth I don’t want any more of your smooth-player bullshit It’s not real You’re not real"

"What the fuck are you talking about? This is as real as it gets, and you know it"

I yanked free and stalked farther into the living roo foolish in only socks and my Rossi’s T-shirt "I don’t have ti stride easily overtook mine He reachedthe the raer of his ripped body to perfection He didn’t care at all that his pants were still undone, although he’d hitched his boxer briefs up at so the way

"I don’t have the ti here e’re not" I fixed ether--at least on the outside
