Page 14 of Keeping Happily Ever After

The flare of need in his eyes sent a shot of desire directly to her core.

The leggings needed to come off.Now.

With Bella’s help, and a little more pulling, Jeremy managed to finally divest her of the leggings. She’d managed to stay on the couch, but finally, mercifully, she was completely naked and by this time, almost desperate with need. But Jeremy still wasn’t moving. Instead, he stood directly in front of her, watching her with that intense gaze of his that just drove her even more crazy and made her want him even more. If it was possible.

“Jeremy.” Her voice held a warning tone. A warning for what, she couldn’t be sure because she had no idea what she would do if shedidn’thave him. And soon. The only thought swirling through her brain was how badly she needed this man.Now.

Still, he didn’t move.

“Jeremy?” she said again. She was starting to get concerned.Why hadn’t he moved? Did he not want her? Had he changed his mind?No. There was no way. She knew exactly what kind of effect she had on the man. Because he had exactly the same one on her. Still, he just stood there, staring at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes. “Jer!”

In a flash, whatever spell was over him broke. He shook his head slightly, snapping out of whatever trance he was in. A sexy grin played on his lips, and finally, mercifully, he stepped toward her. “Sorry, baby. I was just thinking about how lucky I was that I was about to sleep with Hollywood’s next biggest star.”

She couldn’t help it—a full body blush spread over her bare skin. Judging by the flare in his nostrils, Jeremy had noticed it too.

“And now, I’m just enjoying the view.”

She shook her head, bit her bottom lip hard and once more crooked her finger to beckon him to her. “Get over here. I’m getting impatient.”

Mercifully, he didn’t have to be asked again. Jeremy moved swiftly. He grabbed a condom from the pocket of his jeans and in only a few quick moves sheathed himself before he bent down to scoop her up off the couch.

Bella squealed a little at the surprise, but quickly wrapped her legs around him, and hung on tight. “Take me to bed, handsome.”

“No time.” He bent and kissed her hard before turning around and dropping backward onto the couch with Bella still straddling his lap.

She licked her lips and took her time to let her tongue travel the length on her bottom lip, enjoying the look on Jeremy’s face. Need for her blazed in his eyes. It was a giddy power she held over him. A power that was reflected one thousand percent in her own need for him.

Without another word, he lifted her easily by the hips and brought her down slowly so she sheathed his throbbing, hard erection with her warmth. She closed her eyes, let her head drop backward, and groaned as he filled her completely.

Yes.That’s exactly where he belonged. Whereshebelonged. With him. Just like this.

“Damn, woman.” His voice came out on a breath. “You feel absolutely amazing.”

“Mmm.” She lifted her head so she could look into his eyes as she started to move.

He groaned and closed his eyes for a moment, a small, satisfied smile working at the edge of his mouth.

As she moved, Bella’s climax built quickly. It wasn’t going to take much for her to come apart. She increased her pace as the tingling that had begun to build in her core started traveling outward and—

Jeremy’s hands clamped down on her hips, stilling her. “I’m going to need a minute.”

Bella shook her head. “Oh no, there will be no minute.”

“Babe.” He pressed his lips together. “I’m sorry, you’re just so…I need—”

She bent to his mouth and kissed him deep and hard until his hands left her hips and moved to her back, pulling her closer as she once again resumed the rocking motion that propelled them both quickly into shattering orgasms.

Reveling in the aftermath of what had been his most intense climax since…well, the last time he was with Bella, Jeremy pulled her closer against his chest and inhaled the sweetness of her. If Jeremy could have Bella in his arms like this forever, he would die a happy man. There was literally nothing else in his life he needed, as long as he had her this way.

Or any way at all.

It should scare him how quickly he was falling in love with her, but it didn’t. It just felt right. Like they could handle anything together.

He nuzzled into the back of her neck and she snuggled in with a groan of satisfaction. He closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of her.

No.He wasn’t scared of the way he was feeling. Not even a little bit.

The idea made him smile. Because as crazy as itshouldfeel, it didn’t.
