She sucked in her breath until she was light-headed Oh my God After all he’d said After all he’d explained He’d push down all thatand she sucked in a deeper breath than before as she blinked them away It was no use They burned until they finally spilled over onto her cheeks Jace looked panicked, his expression dissolving into one of self-loathing

"Don’t cry, baby Please don’t cry," he whispered harshly "We’ll work it out I swear, it’ll be okay"

She shook her head "No, you don’t understand"

"Then ? Why are you upset? It doesn’t have to be that way I was just trying to ed forward, taking his mouth with hers He seemed stunned but didn’t push her away Theirwetly

"Shut up Just shut up and kiss roaned "God, baby"

She ripped at her clothing, suddenly desperate to have nothing between them She ripped at his until finally he helped her and their clothes went flying, this way and that, hitting the floor, the back of the couch and the coffee table

She kissed hi hotly over his She allowed all her desperation into her kiss, her hands as they roaid between thehtly between their bellies She reached down to grasp it even as she arched over hiistered that it was he as supposed to be in control He as supposed to call the shots But at this moment she didn’t care She only knew she wanted hi more permanent She had to show hiive her Not just wanted but needed

She fit hiulfing hiasp and his hands were suddenly at her hips, alleviating the pressure by lifting upward

"Baby, no, don’t hurt yourself"

His voice was strained and it was evident just howback Oh hell no That wasn’t what she wanted She wanted it all Everything he had to give her And she’d settle for nothing less

"You’ll never hurt me," she whispered "Not in a way I don’t want, anyway"

He chuckled lightly and then slid his hands to her ass, cupping as she rose up to take hiain This time he didn’t hold her back and she took all of hi to rest on his lap

"Jesus, you feel so fucking a," he breathed

"I just want you to sit back and enjoy it," she littered as he stared into hers Then he loosened his hold and leaned back against the couch, his body going slack

"I can do that"

His hands skated up her body to cup her breasts and shehi hi his hands between theh that it htness Each thrust eet agony as he pushed through her swollen pussy Each tiasped and closed her eyes She was so close and they’d only just begun

"Don’t hold back, baby I want to watch you co at you"

"Not without you," she gasped out

"Oh, I’m there I was there the minute that sweet pussy slid down eive her better leverage He pal strongly Then he dropped his hands back to her ass, squeezing as she shuddered against hiruffly froet deep inside it I didn’t have your ass that first night I was too focused on your pussy Didn’t want anyone else there but me But now it’s mine and I want to fuck it"

"Jace!"

His erotic words splintered over her, pushing her that last little bit toward her release Her entire body bowed and then spasmed She couldn’t even hold herself up She needn’t have worried Jace’s ar hi his na She’d wear bruises later and she didn’t care This hat she wanted His possession

She shattered There, in his ar into her body, she went to pieces It was nearly painful So intense that the roo di for breath as her body convulsed and seized He powered into her, pushing rapidly, the s flesh loud in her ears Her entire body shook and still he thrust as if he were trying to plant himself in the deepest recesses of her soul

Then he cried out Her na over her skin like the finest silk Her na her even closer until she couldn’t breathe She didn’t cole word as she lay sprawled across his body He kissed her neck, her ear, and then nuzzled into her hair It took her aher how beautiful she was and how overcome he was that she was his, that she accepted what he wanted from her

She curled her arhtly as he held her

"I want to stay," she whispered

He went rigid against her and then he sagged as if relieved He kissed her again,one of his hands to push the hair froaze His eyes were intense Nearly black as he stared at her

"You’re staying, Bethany You’re reed to but I’ toyou back"

She put her hand to his cheek as he’d done to her socomfort and reassurance He leaned forward and brushed his mouth across hers Once, twice, and a third time, as if he couldn’t pull himself away
