out Will Campbell was just as skilled at using his mouth for things other than kissing. Before long, she was gripping the sheets on either side of her body, begging him to end her torment. She wasn’t sure, but he might have actually chuckled before he finally did as she asked.
Her body bowed as the intensity of the orgasm surged through her. It took more than a minute after the throbbing ecstasy subsided before her senses returned enough to register that Will wasn’t rushing to remove his jeans and get his own. She looked down to find him placing more kisses on her inner thighs. Those beautiful eyes once again met hers.
“You taste like heaven,” he said.
Who knew something like that could get her all worked up again?
“And you’re about to do that again,” he vowed.
He evoked responses from her body that she’d never known were possible. By the time he finally removed his clothes and rolled on the condom he had in his wallet, she’d experienced more pleasure at his hands than in all of her other sexual encounters combined.
And she hadn’t done a thing.
She might have felt guilty about that, but when he finally took her it was with such desperation that he’d clearly been doing everything within his power to contain himself until that moment. She found that so hot that she climaxed again while he was inside her. That was all he needed to go over the edge himself.
Holding him during that moment brought her another kind of pleasure…one she dared not examine too closely.
Sex only, she told herself.
And pretended to believe it.
Chapter Nineteen
“Will, you’ve done so much for me today,” May said. “Won’t you at least allow me to feed you dinner in repayment?”
Seeing Jasmine stiffen in her spot on the sofa watching an episode of House of Archer on Hulu, he almost said no. He had pushed things just by showing up there that afternoon. She made it clear she wasn’t ready for a relationship.
Well, she wasn’t ready for anything beyond a sexual relationship.
That proposition had been spontaneous on his part. Her initial reaction to him being there told him how serious she was about not pursuing a relationship with him. Because one of those reasons was Katie, he hadn’t had it in him to challenge that. But when she emerged from the bathroom in her thin bathrobe smelling as irresistible as she did, how was he supposed to control himself?
He would count his blessings that she at least agreed to the sex. He hadn’t been lying when he said he’d been fantasizing about it for days.
And her response to him…good God.
But revisiting all of that with May staring at him was just weird, so he said, “That sounds great. Thanks.”
“I’m so glad,” May said. “You won’t be sorry. Our father taught us both how to make a mean stir fry.”
Jasmine had mentioned before that her father was Chinese. “Is he the one who taught you how to cook?” he asked.
“Some,” she said as she headed to the kitchen. “He taught me and Jasmine how to make the dishes he learned as a child. Mom was German, which is where I learned to bake.”
“Oh, Lord,” he said as he trailed behind her. “I could eat that apple strudel you serve at Steamy Beans every day and die a happy man.”
She smiled at him over her shoulder as she opened the fridge. “My grandmother’s recipe.” Glancing behind him, she asked, “You want a glass of wine, sis?”
“Sure.”
“Beer for you, Will?” May held up a brown bottle with an eclectic-looking design on the label. “You convinced Danny and Tobias to try a local craft brew. You might have won them both over to your side.”
“Absolutely, thanks.”
He used the bottle opener she handed him to pop off the cap and then tossed the cap in the nearby trash can. After May poured Jasmine’s glass of rosé, he reached for it. She gave him another small smile and waved him toward the family room. He carried it to Jasmine, noting her wary gaze as she watched him. It wasn’t unlike the look her cat had given him all afternoon any time he got near her.
“Which episode is this?” he asked after handing her the glass of wine and moving over to one of the two chairs.
Her expression eased when he didn’t try to sit beside her. “The season one finale. I’m catching up before the new season starts. Now shh.”
He grinned before sipping his beer. Then he deliberately
