“Keys,” Donovan demanded, and she fumbled in her bag and handed them over.

Once they were inside, his mouth claimed hers in a searing kiss that felt almost like a brand. It was the craziest thing, after getting her heart broken, she would have sworn that she could never hand it out again. Yet Donovan made it so easy to do.

He was a genuinely likeable guy and already he had her hooked.

All that was left was for him to reel her in and she’d be a goner.

Without directions, he located her bedroom on the left side of the big open-plan living space, and when he set her on her feet a mewed protest tumbled from her lips making him chuckle.

“Got to get these clothes off you, green eyes,” he told her, nuzzling at her neck as his hands found the hem of her sweater and pulled back only long enough to remove it and toss it aside. Then his lips were back, touching kisses to her pebbled nipples before removing her bra and kissing his way down her stomach until he was kneeling in front of her.

Her pants seemed to almost remove themselves, and when his dark head moved so it was buried in the apex of her thighs, she almost came on the spot.

Never had she seen anything sexier.

“So sweet,” he murmured, making her protest again when he suddenly stood and stripped off his own clothes.

Then he had her in his arms again, carrying her to the bed, layingher out, then stretching out his body above her. His thick length nestled between her legs, and she quickly spread them, anxious to feel him inside her.

Even though he’d barely touched her, it had been so long, and her body was already rushing toward the inevitable conclusion.

“So sweet,” he said again as he kissed her long and slow, then moved so he could slide on the condom he’d grabbed from his pocket.

His fingers touched her, tracing lazily around her entrance before sweeping up to circle her bud. Each touch wound her higher and higher until she knew she was balancing on the ledge, ready to tumble into indescribable pleasure.

“Donovan, inside me, please. I want you to come with me.”

The smile he gave her was tender as he shifted and then thrust inside her in a single move. It had been so long that there was a moment of pain as she was stretched, but Donovan’s slow, steady thrusts quickly erased it, and then she was back on that ledge.

“You ready, beautiful?” he asked as his gaze locked on hers.

“Feel like I've been waiting forever for this moment,” she answered.

“Me too, green eyes. Me too.”

With that, his mouth crashed down against hers, and one of his hands reached between them and tweaked her bundle of nerves, setting off the most explosive orgasm Jessica had ever experienced in her life.

It consumed every single inch of her body, mind, and soul, and with it, Donovan Davidson took the first step inside her closely guarded heart.

December 14th

2:27 P.M.

A smile hadn't left his face all morning.

Donovan felt like he was floating on cloud nine.

The most perfect first date ever had ended with more than he had expected. Given her reticence to just going out on a date with him, there was no way he would have expected Jessica to be okay with sex.

Yet she was.

More than that, she’d seemed to need it.

It had been amazing, not that he had expected anything different, but more importantly it seemed to have solidified a spot for him in her life.
