Lace scratched against his tongue as he covered her with his h with her panties as he’d been with her sweater in his desperation to have her coain, his name fell from her lips in a whisper of breath and need, and he answered the sweet plea with a slow brush of his tongue over her A ers found her hot and slick, and when she shuddered and cried out his name, Jack was so lost in the pure sensuality of the way she e with her even though he was still fully clothed

Slowly, he kissed his way down her legs, frohs to the sensitive spots behind her knees, then over her toned calfsoft kisses to the arches of both feet With his hands, heher moan froht working his way back up her body with his hands andall of the spots he’d missed on the way down, but when she took his hands in hers, he let her pull hih that she easily rolled theeously naked over hian to work open the rest of the buttons on his shirt When she had the fabric co it off his shoulders, she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss over his heart

Jack had never knooracious as Mary And he’d never known love like this before, either Because with every kiss, with every touch he and Mary gave each other, heart was as important as heat

That kiss over his breastbone was the first in a sweet path of damp heat she h enough to cup his face in her hands When she rocked into hireedy for another one of her beautiful cliain," he urged, following his words with caresses that had her eyes closing as she levered up over hiainst hiripped at his forearly beautiful that he knew she really was an angel

His angel

Jack could have listened to the sweet sounds of her releases all night long and ht have done just that had she not reached for his belt buckle The light brush of her fingertips over his abdomen was almost too much to handle by that point, and he had to tense everycontrol as she finally pulled the leather open and slid down the zipper

For a week, Mary had clearly believed she needed to fight as meant to be, and Jack had worked to hold on to his rapidly disintegrating patience until she felt that she could give herself to hi past And yet, even as she whispered to him that she was protected and she lifted her hips to welcos, Jack wanted to stop everything so that he could tell her how ht Jack knew he’d have to use his body to tell her everything he felt in his heart, instead

The pleasure built with every stroke, with every thrust, with every kiss Daainst damp skin, heated breath over aroused flesh, they were perfect partners in passion

And as they her, Jack knew that every breath, every dream, every prayer had led him here, to the warmth of Mary’s arms around hiled around their bodies as they held tightly to each other, still breathing hard, Mary’s head cradled in the crook of Jack’s arm Outside her bedroo Warm and safe in her bed with the most wonderful man she’d ever known, sleep should have finally coht,that had left her breathless It would be a long tiet soht she’d trusted Jack with her body, but though that h for another man, she knew Jack wanted much, much more

He wanted her to trust hiht but forever

For a few hours, she’d been able to drop her guard and allow desire to take the place of decisions Jack’s touch, his kisses, had brought her fully to life in a way that no other , she’d have to decide if she could let as between the herself fall in love with hi love with Jack would be wonderful But nothing could have prepared her for the extraordinary sensations of hisacross her skin, the sensuality of his hands caressing her…or the perfection of coether with hian

Nothing could have prepared her for the wonder of feeling as though he was her very first, her only
