CHAPTER 1
‡
“Ilove itwhen you blush for me, love,” Jax purrs, and my skin prickles in response as a familiar electricity flows through me.
We’re lying in bed together, his arms wrapped tightly around me. I’m snuggled into him, so close that I can see the beads of perspiration on his naked chest and feel his breath on my skin.
I am thoroughly and utterly spent in a way that only Jax can make me. My body is slick with sweat, my muscles are still rolling with the aftershocks of the orgasms that rocked through me only moments ago, and my thighs are damp as the evidence of our activities runs down my legs.
His comment makes me blush even more.
“I love watching you blush almost as much as I love watching you take all of me.” Flames of desire dance behind his piercing green eyes as they study my own before trailing down the length of my naked body.
I will never get used to how he looks at me, as if he will devour every inch of me over and over again, an attempt to fill his insatiable hunger for the taste of me on his lips.
His fingers trail lazy circles over my body, and I can’t help but try to move closer to him, leaning into his touch.
His calloused hands so rough from a lifetime of hardship are so gentle with me, once again showing how multifaceted he is—a notorious crime lord to the outside world, and a caring, protective, and extremely thorough lover only to me.
A smile flickers across my face in response to my summary of him, of the man I would do anything to be with.
“Penny for your thoughts, love?” he says, pressing his lips to my forehead. I can feel his kiss even as he pulls away.
“I was just thinking about how you’re an incredibly thorough lover,” I say, humor lacing my words.
“Is that so?”
“It is,” I reply solemnly, nodding my head.
He cocks his head to the side. “How thorough?”
“Definitely top three I’ve ever had,” I say jokingly.
“I better do something about that then, love. Surely with a bit of work we can get me to number one…” He trails off as his eyes travel from my face to my breasts and then lower. “Yes, I think I should definitely do something to deserve a higher rating.”
He licks his lips but doesn’t move another muscle, waiting for my invitation.
“What exactly do you have in mind, Mr. Turner?” I ask coyly, knowing exactly how I’m drawing this out, the tension building between us as heat gathers at my core.
“What I have in mind,” he starts, his voice gravelly with desire, “is putting my tongue right here…” He trails off as his fingers lightly flow over my nipple, and a shiver of anticipation courses through me. “And then here…” His fingers trail lower, circling a path around my stomach before his hand drops even lower.
I roll away from him slightly, exposing more of myself to his gaze and touch as I unhook my leg from his body and he props himself up. His eyes are smoldering with a desire I know too well and his breathing starts to quicken again.
“And then here…” His finger traces circles around my thigh, high enough that my own breathing starts to become ragged, as the fire in my core begins to build yet again.
His fingers trail dangerously high on my legs, his knuckles brushing my sex, and a breathy moan escapes my lips.
The smile on his lips is audible.
“Tell me where else you’d like my lips, love,” he commands.
I do as he says, trailing a hand down my body, as Jax’s gaze follows it intently.
“I want you here.” I brush over my other breast. “And here,” I say, my hand brushing over the apex of my thighs, rubbing myself ever so lightly.
“Show me what you want me to do,” he says, his voice heavy with desire, his own arousal evident as his hardness presses against my side.
I shift my leg over more, bending my knee as I lay fully on my back, and run my finger down my core. My breath catches as I circle my clit lightly, still sensitive from earlier.
