divesting him of the cloth. Glancing up, he stopped her with a large palm. “Not now.”
Why would he rather keep clothed? “I want to touch you.”
“I’d much rather watch you touch yourself.”
“What? Where?”
Dark mischief lit his eyes just before he captured her hand. “Right here.” He brought her fingers to her clitoris. “Stroke yourself for me.”
Her skin went up in flames. Touch herself there . . . while he watched?
“There is no right or wrong, not with me. Only what makes you feel good. It will also help keep you wet for your first time.” He jerked his chin to where he was barely inside her.
“Oh.”
If this would help, how could she refuse? She slid the pad of her finger over the taut nub, her hips jerking slightly. That brought him deeper inside her channel. “Fuck,” he gritted out, his lids closing as his hands dug into the outsides of her thighs. “I’m trying to go slow.”
She didn’t need slow or careful. She wasn’t breakable.
Her sisters viewed her as naive and weak, but she wasn’t. She was brave and strong, a woman who knew her own mind.
Soon to be the first female police detective.
She lifted her hips once more, and Jack slid deeper. Once more and their hips met. His chest heaved, the lines of his face etched in painful ecstasy. “Oh, Christ. You’re killing me.”
There. It was done. He was inside her . . . and it was better than she’d even imaged. She closed her eyes, letting the feeling wash over her. Jack was a part of her. There was no pain, only a delicious fullness that radiated from her core.
“All right?” he asked. “Because I need to either pull out or start moving.”
She nodded, incapable of anything else. He braced himself on his arms and began thrusting inside her, slowly at first then picking up pace. “Move with me,” he told her, “while you rub yourself.”
Reaching between them, she circled the nub with her fingers as he pumped his hips. They worked together, two bodies straining and climbing. His hooded blue gaze remained on her face, gauging her reactions. When she gasped, he growled, almost as if her pleasure fed his own. It felt like they were joined more than just physically, that he was deep in her brain. Wrapped around her heart. A part of her in a way she’d never shared with another person.
She was falling in love with this man.
Her toes curled and she threw her head back, the heat and light dragging her to another place where thought and worry didn’t exist. She trembled and clutched at him, everything else disappearing but this strong and caring man.
“That’s it.” His thrusts turned rough and hard, drawing out her climax. “Good girl. Yes, keep coming. God, you are fucking beautiful. I don’t want this to end.” He finished on a shout as he withdrew suddenly, sitting back on his haunches. Thick ropes of milky liquid landed on her stomach, his hand flying over his shaft. His big shoulders shuddered, his face slack with his release while she tried to recover.
Seconds later it was over and the only sounds in the room were their harsh breathing. Just when she was about to fill the silence, he looked up. “I don’t believe I’ve ever come that hard in my life.”
She bit her lip, the compliment settling inside her chest like a heavy blanket. “When may we do it again?”
Jack could not believe this woman.
Only minutes ago he came so hard that he nearly passed out . . . and she wanted him to do it again? He hadn’t expected that.
Then again, when had he ever predicted anything Justine said or did?
Grinning, he tucked his cock back into his union suit and rolled off the bed. She was sprawled on his bedclothes, dark hair every which way, with his spend coating her lovely skin. Indeed, he could get used to this vision. A better man might have felt remorse or guilt over taking this woman’s innocence. Jack did not. Virginity wasn’t a prize or badge of honor for a man to earn. He was damn grateful to have her in his bed, no matter her level of experience. “Perhaps I should clean you up first. Then we may discuss a second round.”
He strode to the washroom. “Don’t move, you glorious creature.” Shutting the door, he turned on the tap and grabbed a cloth. The water was ice-cold, so he quickly unbuttoned his undergarment and used the freezing water
